>a state has the authority to compel someone into doing anything that has been sufficiently demonstrated to be a good decision

These are dangerous words. "Sufficiently demonstrated to be a good decision"? What does that even mean? My take on trying to derive the meaning of that sentence is that it doesn't actually mean anything.

What is a "good decision" and what does it mean to be "sufficiently demonstrated"? I posit that no one could sufficiently define those words as to make an actionable decision criteria that satisfies those (highly abstract) requirements.

Many states have felt that it was a good decision to force people into labor or death and the consequences have been severe. Are you really trying to reuse their (poor) reasoning?

You may not be alone in feeling that way, but that doesn't mean that being on the internet means that you're "hanging out" with everybody on the internet.
If the hash functions are secure, the only way for this to leak information is if the attacker can make good guesses as to what the resource is a priori, and then use this to verify it.

Fair enough, that's some information leakage, but it's certainly not easy to exploit. Normal cross-origin limitations still apply, so you'd need to get creative to even get the information in the first place, and if you can, it's not clear what this adds over a timing attack.

I'm still a little skeptical such a heavy handed restriction is necessary to maintain the current level of security; but then again - why take the risk?

How Artificial Intelligence Will Revolutionize Our Lives
It's interesting to think about how a period piece can be very accurate at a micro-level, which takes a ton of effort by a lot of craftspeople, but inaccurate at a macro-level due to a poor screenplay.
This is probably a major contributing factor to the issue.

Personally, I've seen the greatest improvement in performance by avoiding latency more often than total download size. That's why concatenation works so well. It's just much more expensive to initiate two HTTP requests (four, if it does a HEAD first to get the Last Modified date), than one.

That said, I still limit total download size. JQuery is not a big enough contribution to my productivity to warrant an extra 86KB of data. React is like 132KB. Angular is 144KB. That's a lot of KB for anyone riding on the metro.
Hey Gabriel,

Thanks again for the great work!

The Diderot Effect: Why We Want Things We Don’t Need
Pain, hunger, sexual urges, etc. can't be classified by emotions. Maybe we can include fear of injury or death in this as well. Even a baby can feel these things (except of course sexual urges).

But beyond that everything else is an emotion - happiness, sadness, anger, annoyance, loneliness. Beyond the most basic tasks everything requires emotions to drive you. Why do you study for an upcoming exam? Because you are anxious about getting a good grade? Why are you anxious? Because you may not want to upset your parents? Why does that bother you? You love them or fear their displeasure. Why do you fear your parent's displeasure? Ignoring corporal punishment (which could be an avoidance of pain/injury), other reasons include wanting to avoid stress, or being upset when they confront you about it. And so on. You cannot get through life except the most basic functions (like avoiding pain, eating, sleeping, etc) without emotions.

The article seems to equate the reduced perception of emotions to a total absence of them.

Measurements of the properties of neutrinos could fit into the bigger picture
Could anyone explain like I'm 5 what "layout thrashing" is? As far as I understand, it's when the size of an element is set in the CSS, like

div {
width:100px;
}

Then later in the CSS it's changed to

div .biggerdiv {
200px;
}

Or maybe it's javascript that changes it:

$('.biggerdiv').style('width:200px;');

but either way it's when an element has some size near the beginning of rendering, then as more information becomes available, it has to change size a few times.

Am I getting it?

@sama: is one of the intentions for this group to acquire patents, so that you may be able to use them in defense for YC companies?
This reminds me a bit of Lee Smolin's book "The Trouble with Physics". In it he defines a concept about how innovation happens. He defines revolutionaries into two categories: craftsmen, and seers. Craftsmen take current constructs and raise the bar (his example: Newton), where seers create completely new constructs that involve more imagination (his example: Einstein).

Jumping of his idea, I would say large institutions (business, academia) have a bias toward creating craftsman, and thus the point in this article that while it takes all kinds to innovate, sometimes it takes seers to really stir the pot up.
Words are not guns, period.
This is great. I am hoping things like this will shake the dynamics of publication-oriented credentialing and ultimately the value proposition of academia/academic research.

Why I am not a fan of Charles Darwin (2009)
This is a good point. It's the same way where I live, though most of the hate is directed towards black folks (KY). People with strong opinions (good or bad) will tend to be more vocal about it, and racists have very strong opinions. Therefore they will have a high visibility anywhere.

The Southern Poverty Law Center might as well classify the air we breath to be racist because it is used as a platform for transmitting ideas.

I still think we really need to create a distributed open reddit alternative based off of ipfs or something similar. Ideally all posts would be treated the same at a low level but different curation sites could be built on top.

> The idea of having "stateless" UI components in this sense seems ill-conceived, because whether a UI component has state should not be a concern of the user of the component.

I might not understand your point, but the user of the component shouldn't have any need to know whether it's stateful. A stateless `Photo` function component should have the same interface as a `Photo` class component: `<Photo ... />`.
I think they both love reddit. I know as a user I love reddit, and despite the myriad problems with it, if I was in a position to give it some TLC and make it a place I would want to be, I would put aside interpersonal differences to make that happen.
"The US that put up fake vaccination centers in the pursuit of an already-minimized threat?"

In fairness, they gave out actual vaccines not fake vaccines so it wasn't a "fake vaccination program." I was a real vaccination program that also did a bit of assassination of international terrorists on the side.

So, on balance it was a very positive program for the community.
It's a tough question, and I acknowledge your position.

However, the very nature of state as we know it is to have the power of compulsion over many things. It's a spectrum.
You embed stateless (function-based) components just like you do for normal components. There is no interface difference; the caller doesn't need to know whether the component it is using is stateless or not.

I think they're referring to the fact that you using the word "stock" in your name is a bad thing. I.e. searching for GratisStock just like LibreStock both yield search results that take me to the "big" stock-image sites, with the keyword being search. I.e. Stock images for keyword Libre, and Stock images for keyword Gratis.

I play on Chess.com a lot. I want to move to Lichess - in large part because it doesn't spam me with requests to sign up - but the matchmaking system is much harder to use.

On Chess.com I can log on and click a "find me a 10+0 game" and I just get a game. On Lichess, as far as I can tell, I have to scan the list of games, compare them to my rating (which I can't even see on the main screen, and don't trust at all since it swung +150 points on my first game..), and then pick from the list. It's a huge mental barrier on "playing a quick game of chess".

I also really wish that the chess UI on lichess showed me what pieces each player had captured. It seems to.. sometimes.. but not always, which is confusing. They constantly disappear. Also, the pieces that show up above/below the move list on the right side both appear as black pieces (when they actually show up), rather than of the appropriate color, so the display could be read as both "pieces you have captured" and "pieces you have lost". I'm sure I could get used to this but it's confusing as a new user.

I and many people I know don't agree with this. Instant feedback is nice, but not required.

This sounds interesting. I'm curious to see what areas the research will be focused on.

Are there plans to provide laboratory space for areas that require it? Would researchers be housed in some space in MV, or would they work out of their own space like YC startups?
@sama - Interesting, I definitely think the toss up between meaningful research and high paying engineering work is very broken. You mentioned how compensation will not be determined based on conferences and papers, do you have any specifics on how you would measure "quality of output"? Will researchers be compensated differently based on said quality?

(As often times the quality of research output is hard to gauge immediately without the greater context of time passing)
> an experiment we've been running to give good stories that fell through the cracks a second chance at getting attention on HN.

Thanks for your efforts to improve HN. Some thoughts from a random user:

I'm much more interested in having consistently high quality in 99% of the stories (and especially discussions) and don't mind at all if 1% or even 5-10% are overlooked. There's not much cost to missing a story or two; HN doesn't have to be complete record of tech news.

I would greatly value a higher signal-to-noise ratio. That is HN's primary value to me now; while it's better than the competition, it's still low. A discussion forum with a high signal-to-noise ratio (informed, well thought through, rational, well-expressed, polite discussion) would win me over immediately; I'd pay $ hundreds a year to be a member.

True, and pointing a gun isn't firing it, and some people feel even guns don't require regulation. But that doesn't mean verbal violence doesn't cause real harm and shouldn't be regulated, and in fact, it is regulated in virtually all free societies (and even non-free ones). The debate is on the degree to which it should be regulated, and this varies from one society to another.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech

In any case, the ideal of free speech originated in the desire to share novel ideas and speak truth to power. It's sad to see the same term used to justify tolerating bullying by angry mobs.
This is awesome. I'm really excited to see what groups are announced - this is going to gather some great minds!
As an investor I'm not looking for Thiels "sustainable business strategy", I want growth. New products, new markets, pushing the envelope.

And that comes from taking risks,, shipping, and dealing with failures. Google and Apple are simply not doing that in a meaningful way, and their share price reflects that.
Particularly in America, a lot of people interpret freedom of speech to include allowing hate speech.

These people would say that you can't be a bastion of free speech and ban hate speech at the same time, so if Reddit has banned hate speech it means they're not a bastion of free speech.

IMHO there's nothing wrong with /not/ being a bastion of free speech, though. Who'd want to be, given what it entails?
