Last time I picked up a hitchhiker I was driving across the buttes of Platte County, Wyoming. I noticed a middle aged guy standing outside of his conversion van with what looked like an empty plastic gas can in his hand. But what made me stop was the NY tags (I'm from the northeast US). In that part of Wyoming, if you see a gas station anywhere you'd better stop and fill up if you're at half a tank or less.

Sure enough, I stop to take him to where I knew the nearest station was, and in perfect Brooklynese he says, "Am I evah glad to see you!"

Lots of comments, and it's on the HN front page.
"You today ... me tomorrow" is my new favorite "Golden Rule" translation :)
Musical culture seems to resist illumination, perhaps fearing that the "magic" will somehow be broken. The irony is that music is, in a sense, a mathematical illusion, but revealing the trick only makes it more fascinating.

This is true, but I think the answer is far more mundane. Musicians operate at a couple of levels of abstraction above that SO answer, so such details become irrelevant to them.

Imagine if the standard introduction to programming was a course on Java or PHP. Pretty soon you'd have a plethora of programmers who didn't know a thing about pointers or any of the old tricks programmers used to do with assembly. Wait... that's already happened :)
Maybe ... I can see California killing SV in one way or another, slowly or nor so slowly, but one overwhelming advantage it has over every other state is that non-competes are uninformative. (And for startups, a much more recent law means you own what you do with your own effort, resources and ideas.)

A liquid market in talent, so to speak, can make up for a lot of other problems, and arguably has.
Appleseed is built to be protocol agnostic. It abstracts out the protocol to a series of event triggers/hooks. It can even juggle multiple protocols at the same time.

This was a deliberate decision, because we're still waiting to see which protocol will win out, so once that happens, by design, it's much more trivial to move Appleseed over to that protocol in a seamless way than other similar projects.
Notice that those favoring tax increases are consistent except expiration of tax cuts for those making under 250k.
The approach of OneSocialWeb seems to be to define and extend existing standard protocols. This general direction seems appealing to me but in anycase, it's one extreme of possible approaches.

With Elgg or Insoshi, a "social networking engine" isn't particularly different from a generic CMS. In this sense, Drupal might be the leading alternative to Facebook, since it's dominant in its field (you could argue for wordpress too). And maybe that's an idea. An alternative to Facebook is to add a protocol to several common CMSes that would let you aggregate you friend's posts - Tie-together all the world's BBSes into a bullwork against Facebook. Anyway, a pure CMS where you sort the protocol later is the other extreme of approaches.

Appleseed and Diaspora seem somewhat in the middle of these approaches. They sort-of have protocols but don't seem to be protocol driven.
Can you please tell us about any Facebook's alternative UI that does not "need work"? That something "needs work" is one of the most obvious comments that somebody could think of. Everything needs work.
It would be more constructive if you could provide us with some points that the appearance of that network could be somehow better.
For anyone interested in that kind of stuff: read "Musimathics", volume I especially.
I've heard of this stuff before but upon reading this and doing some Wikipedia research, I stumbled upon this:

The US Drug Enforcement Agency announced on 24 November 2010 that it will use its emergency scheduling authority to ban the drug for one year while further studies are conducted. It will be placed in Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act within a month of the announcement.

Ask the most questions. Do not "try to decode what others are thinking", ask them. If they are going to be terrible then let them be, your job is to ask questions.
That's your definition of intelligence. You could solve problems quickly with a failure rate of 2%, but that 2% error actually kills off, deforms, or ostracizes 10% of your population, and that 10% contains 100% of what you need to solve your next set of problems. You destroy yourself by creating a definition of intelligence in the first place.
Nice to see the "real world" use of math by someone who is clearly an artist. I'll be keeping that clip.

>> The QR code is used to initialize a direct (encrypted) bluetooth / wifi direct connection. Taking a picture of the QR code isn't enough to get the one-time pad.

If, as the article says, the QR code gives a symmetric AES key, then yes it could well be enough to get the OTP if you've eavesdropped on the traffic as well.

>> But there is no discussion of these points so far. Everybody is just piling hate on the product for its failings. We need to be better than that if we want a secure app ecosystem.

What we need to be better at is recognising that "Hey, look at my brand-new awesome crypto-system!" is a huge red flag, and what we should be looking for is "Hey, we're using tried and tested protocol X, which we're pretty confident about".

From an app-writer's perspective I can see why they want to announce that they've made this awesome new security system - they want to differentiate themselves, and security is in the public eye right now so seems to be a selling point. Human nature being what it is, new and shiny is eye-catching and good for sales. But we really want pretty much the opposite here.
He's been... all kinds of alcoholic. He always was able to stop drinking two days before his flights, but I think he slipped once. I don't know if they breathalyse him. He doesn't like to tell me details about it. From what I can tell, he's doing better now.

Alcoholism is very common with pilots, though. This much I know, because I met many pilots through him and my father, and boy do they enjoy their drinks.

In my dad's time (he was "almost" a WW2 veteran, he was gonna fly on the second Mexican squadron, but the war ended before Mexico sent that squadron), being a pilot was comparable to being a movie star. So much prestige, so much partying. Some of that culture from the middle of the 20th century still lives on, and many pilots still, well, burn bright and burn fast.

Wow, amazing research. I didn't even know I lived through a golden age of arcade games or home consoles (not sure which the author was referring to).

I was confused by "Klax", thinking it was a pirate version of old Colecovision platformer Zaxxon but it was actually quite different. I didn't experience NES until 1988. Up to that point (<5 years after early home consoles like 2600, Intellivision and Colecovision had petered out) people of my age cohort had hoped that the pre-Windows PC platforms like the Atari 800, Apple IIe, or the first Macintosh would provide good gaming experiences but we were mostly disappointed. There were a few bright spots like Dark Castle and Choplifter, but the chasm between those experiences and what you could find in the arcades were significant. The NES was a huge development.

Really interesting comment thanks! Do you have any more tips for improving in technical writing? Do you know of any other good book / course on this matter?

When I saw this I’ve thought the author used a dash to indicate irony or something along those lines.

I didn’t see any irony so assumed I lack context.

I think you might be projecting because IMO everyone around here in HN knows that the engineers are doing a really good job -- but management gets in the way, all too often.

So let's not conflate excellent and talented engineers with greedy shady executives whose big PR move was to publish detailed benchmarks on the last-gen AMD literally days before the current-gen AMD dropped.

Well, here's the problem with twitter. I don't even understand what this person is complaining about and, more importantly, I really couldn't care less.
The discussion for this kind issue generally goes like that:

- But maybe something like YT can't exist (read: be profitable) without YT scale

I'm not that sure about "for non-haskell reasons".

Haskell seems to select for people who enjoy going off on puzzling tangents, and it seems like it takes so much learning that for many, meta skills such as good engineering and communication practices fall by the wayside.
> It affects the language very much, awkward currying and tupling, needing to wrap methods in objects.

That is a lot less true since Scala 3.

> Subtyping also has many complex consequences.

Sure. But it also means I can use any library from the Java ecosystem, and that's a huge reason behind the big number of Scala jobs compared to other FP languages.

> There is limited type inference and tail call optimisation versus functional-first languages.

Limited type inference is typically what I (and my team) want, for the sake of self-documentation. Scala's type inference is plenty enough, and the few corner cases that were annoying in Scala 2 should be fixed in Scala 3.

Tail-call optimization is done the compiler. The lack of tail-call elimination is bothering the few maintainers of functional libraries that need to implement CPS and trampolines, but not really something the average developer will have to worry about. And it should come to the JVM with Loom, eventually.

> F# has units of measure

Scala offers more generic ways to do the same thing. Would F# need such a feature at the language-level if it had typeclasses?

> OCaml has polymorphic variants

I believe most people don't want structural typing in their GADTs.

> It was not designed as a functional programming language first and foremost, that is my point.

I don't think Martin Odersky would agree. It's not an either/or situation. Scala was designed to be a full-fledged functional language, and OO hybrid, compatible with (and leveraging) the Java OO model, and offering a strong type system that goes beyond what you find in most FP languages.
> Even simpler yet would be to go to a flat tax with an extremely high standard deduction (e.g. ~$50k with ~10% after that).

That's not a flat tax. That is a progressive tax with two brackets.

Once you have accepted that progressive taxes are acceptable, it is hard to see why two brackets is better than three, or 4, or even dozens. One might argue that two brackets is simpler than say 10 brackets, but that is a very weak argument since it is just a table lookup, and nobody can argue with a straight face that a 10 line table is too complicated.

An interesting exercise is to consider what it would be like if instead of a single tax to cover everything funded by income tax we did a two bracket progressive tax for each budget item separately, with the taxes applied serially. By applied serially I mean that the taxable income for tax N+1 is what is left after you have paid tax N.

You then end up with a progressive tax with N+1 brackets where N are the number of budget items (and then you would have a table big enough that it would arguable be complicated!). If you keep the same total budget but divide the budget items into smaller subitems, your tax curve approaches a continuous curve which represents a progressive tax with an infinite number of infinitely small brackets.

I remember working out the equation for that curve once, and finding the result mathematically satisfying, but I've totally forgotten what it was.
I hope we can play this game with our friends
It was the talk with Peter McCullough. Two that stand out to me.

1. He stated that Japan began using ivermectin as first line treatment for COVID and it stopped their wave. This is easily discredited by visiting the official site for approved treatments and seeing that ivermectin is not on there (https://www.pmda.go.jp/english/about-pmda/0002.html).

2. He also made a claim this was a planned pandemic and points to table-top exercises by NIH and CDC two years prior to the pandemic that spoke about a coronavirus emerging from China and resulting in lockdowns. Is it really evidence? SARS.... a coronavirus emerged from China in 2003 and resulted in lockdowns in China. So was the CDC "planning" the pandemic or just working through previous experience. Additionally, I'm sure they've run exercises on vector borne viruses spreading into the US given climate change and the spread of various mosquito species into the Southern US (think Zika). I'm sure they run a ton of exercises, 99% of which don't come true... but one ends up happening and all of sudden that's proof this was all planned?

Two things that are easily explainable or discredited, but the average Joe isn't going to realize this. This whole "just asking questions" argument isn't great because it's not a debate, no one is fact checking these guests. Joe doesn't put up any creditable responses or rebuttals.

FYI, it's not WebKit but Chromium I'm betting, based on the crash reporting. If you want an idea of performance, Edge Code from Adobe will provide an answer. Oh and there's a welcome repo with an IRC channel listed. Atom.io just says "nope" for me but is likely its future home.
I'm fully on board with the "bugs happen" point of view, but if they really have had this particular fix in the pipeline for weeks, then no, they really really should have done an out of band update of a much smaller scope.

Get in touch with a 3rd party vendor. They can offer classes/training or point you to someone who can.

You could also take a look at IBM's redbooks. They're guides written by 3rd parties. http://redbooks.ibm.com/

I am curious how this could even possibly be done.

As far as my understanding goes, it's hardly possible to even verify that a compiled binary represents a faithfully executed representation of the source instructions, let alone that it will execute that way when run through a modern OS and CPU pipeline.

I would think the objective here is more about releasing server code that can be run independently in a way that 1) doesn't involve signal's infrastructure and 2) allows the client/server interactions to be audited in a way that trust of the server side is unnecessary, regardless of what code it may or may not be running.
I think it's just a bad call. I don't think there's anything nefarius to it. I'm unsure why they didn't use a real cryptocurrency that is somewhat popular like ethereum or monero. I would prefer none of that and to add more convenient messaging features.

Anecdotally, I had a high tolerance for caffeine and my wife's was low. We did 23andMe together and the results from them predicted exactly that.

Hey guys, we are a team of five engineers and over the last 6 years we’ve been developing a high-performance electric three-wheeler. We’ve built two prototypes up to date.

It’s a futuristic looking vehicle with a new kind of body tilting system. We made the system completely mechanical which means there are no complex actuators, etc. The trike weighs around 400kg, it’s equipped by a 24kWh battery with 200hp output and 300+ km of range.

It will also have two seats, airbags, sportish seat belts, room for luggage, and it’s extremely fun to ride! Our hope is to turn it into a commercial product.

Let me know what you guys think

It doesn't seem to me any different than "pro-life" or "pro-choice"; or "Catholic" (which means "universal") or "Orthodox" (meaning "right-believing"), or "progressive".

I know people that won't use "Catholic", but instead will say "Roman" or "Papist" (since that organization is objectively based in Rome, and does follow the Pope); and people who won't use "pro-life", but always say "anti-abortion" or "anti-choice", or who won't use "pro-choice" but use "anti-abortion" instead. I understand where they're coming from and respect their preferences. I myself tend so put "progressive" in quotes, because I don't consider all causes "progressives" pursue to be making progress.

But such people normally don't go around injecting themselves into other conversations and complaining about the terms people do use. Rather, they simply engage in the conversation and use their preferred term.

I use the word "responsible disclosure" because I think we should be responsible about both how we disclose things and how I keep things secret. Both disclosing immediately, and sitting on an issue for years, are irresponsible in my view. Ideally issues would be reported, fixed, pre-disclosed, and disclosed within a few weeks. Having things fixed in that time frame is not always possible, particularly when you're dealing with a company that is so utterly clueless as the one described here. Given that, whether it's more responsible to zero-day everyone or to sit on it for a year isn't very obvious, and reasonable people can come to different conclusions.
