People seem stuck on reacting to the "freedom of speech" here. However, nowhere did I state that there is a legal obligation for apple or government to provide browser choice. Still, I think that it would be in a public interest, and I hope it becomes a law someday, to protect not only freedom of expression and net neutrality, but also free access to internet, and to require any corporation that sells device connecting to the internet (in browser mode) - to let people choose to use free and open sourse browser to read internet.

If a business wants to survive in the long term, it should always answer this question with: Would it be better if we would build it or others would do it? Because someone will eventually do it.

Interesting to see if this catches on in the embedded / IoT space, I guess it's a bit of a leap writing drivers / software for a different OS
In programming there is the concept of "technical taste".It applies to cookbooks too:

Every Grain of Rice by Fuchsia Dunlop.

https://www.amazon.com/Every-Grain-Rice-Chinese-Cooking/dp/0...

This is a fantastic cookbook if you are interested in cooking Chinese food and a great reason to become interested if you are not. The author is a fine thoughtful writer and has really good taste and recipe judgement. The result is an intriguing collection of simple but good to amazing recipes with almost no duds. I've made over 60 of the recipes this year and almost all were a success. I love food and cooking and have over 70 cookbooks but this one has given me the most pleasure.
Forget about this article and consider the video metrics they inflated. They counted a 3 sec play as a video view and that's a big thing. 4 out of 220 is still a big number for a big company such as FB to be wrong at.
My concern about the Fake News come from a different viewpoint: it's not about politics, it's about commerce.

A very common digital ad is: "The Rock arrested for suspected steroid abuse" and a picture of him in cuffs (screenshotted from a movie). If you click through to the landing page it is a hard sell for some body building supplement that's "so good it should be illegal."

In other words Fake News is a dark pattern and with the election the same shady, spammy, scummy folks switched it up for politics.

They're putting out fake news stories on both sides [1] just trying to drive clicks and shares and get people outraged enough they'll "Like/Share" the ad to their social networks.

Why does then wikipedia have articles with lists of websites blocked in different EU countries?
Picking the language and then the specifics of what you want to improve knowledge of is next. specific e.g in Python use OOP to build a x using (flask or bottle and JavaScript flavor of the month here).

Phase things as well, don't try build a monolith in 4 weeks using 50 different stacks. They'll lose the plot and end up trying 3 different JavaScript frameworks and 6 different ways of nearly anything.

measure what it means to have achieved the goal, example a flask backend using a user and customer model connected to a postgres db by Date.

Have courses, books and websites available for learning. Checkin on progress and help them bring it back into order when they go off the path.

Then using the goal, the date and the measure of success, evaluate the knowledge gained with them
There is some truth in that. But these stories about fake news and professional trolling have been around for more than a year.

The article is about other countries where the phenomenon is widespread.

If HRC had won. I'm pretty sure we'd have been having the same conversations although not reported with the same urgency.
I thought so, but then they would have other emails too, and I don't see why they'd tag it as "primary" if they'd gone those lengths..
Is that you, Donald Trump?
There are no real details about the OS in the article. Did anybody here work on the project?
I found my way in stoicism. Stopping taking care about inevitable things gives me the power to take care about things I can change. I do not expect the HN folks to understand and accept my point of view. The resulting misunderstanding seems to be also inevitable. And I am OK with that.
> Most people I know didn't even use the site for it's original purpose but for the recommendations, the discussions about music & concerts and chatting about a lot of other topics on IRC. Even with subscriptions to various "legit" music services there'll be no replacement for that in the near future.

It seems to me that a good replacement for What.CD is actually two different replacements. One being a music community site that just cares about the meta data such as new bands, albums, reviews, forums, etc. The other being an API based project that would allow the sharing that What.CD allowed, the API based project would allow for browser extensions to extend the meta data site. Legal issues surrounding the sharing logic shouldn't in theory effect the meta data one.
>it's curious noone mentions how this have been attempted and failed

Musk mentioned Teledesic the very first day it was announced (back in January 2015). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHeZHyOnsm4&t=19m25s

>Things to consider about success? Well, I think it's important to assume that terrestrial networks will get much better over time.

>You know, one of the mistakes that, say, Teledesic made was not assuming that terrestrial networks would get much better over time. So we need to make sure that the system we design is good even taking into account significant improvements in the terrestrial systems.

>But I do there there are some important differences between what we're doing and, let's say, Teledesic. In the case of Teledesic they were trying to talk to phones, and that gets back to that problem of a roof penetrating situation. And particularly when stuff is coming from space, like if you're in a skyscraper and it's got to go through 27 floors to reach you, that's not going to happen. There's nothing that will... you know, short of like a neutrino [laughter] ...a neutrino phone [laughter].

>In the case of Teledesic there were some fundamental issues there.

Correct. That's why I said the way to lose heat in a satellite is by radiation.
I was a co-founder of a startup which had this concept back in 2011. There must have been some sort of global zeitgeist or something because during that year over 40 competing startups showed up all over the world. Only a few survived, and unfortunately my startup was not one of them. Even the ones that did survive never did that well, Vayable and Viator got acquired, and some small time sites are still dragging on.

I am curious whether AirBnB has a different take on it. The major problem is that it is hard to deliver on that promise and implication of an authentic experience from a local who is more interested in showing you his/her world than money. Actual individual tour guides have scheduling issues due to them having lives and jobs outside of giving tours, which then makes the system favor organized tour operators, and we go back full circle to big tour groups.
I think the quote contradicts itself: I find that "The Internet is a perfect reflection of the world at large" and "it TRULY makes everyone equal" are not compatible. I think the internet has gradually become a good reflection of the world at large, with plenty of its beauty and plenty of its ugliness and the person you responded to was just expressing sadness that we couldn't filter out the ugly.

Also, the word "equal" deserves some attention. There's "equally powerful" and "equally wise". The two are not necessarily related and today's internet does not guarantee either. While the internet levelled the playing field for a while (at least for those who had access to the field), things are getting back to their "natural" state of "whoever has the gold (or power) makes the rules". Venting one's beliefs on the internet (whether wise or moronic) is possible for everyone but the amount of impact it will make will usually depend on the amount of resources one has.
GPS is currently being upgraded (Block III). There's also QZSS in Japan but I think that is intended more as a supplement to GPS and not meant to be used as a standalone positioning system (it's also regional only).

But if you say that out-loud then you're "undermining democracy" or you're a Russian shill, or both. Never mind that as a reader of The Economist for more than 10 years it pained me to see how low their standard for reporting anything Trump-related went, and we're talking about a British magazine which wasn't involved directly in the US elections. They were calling Trump all sorts of names even though he hadn't spent one-day in elected office, while when they interviewed a genuine war criminal like Tony Blair about a year ago (on 3 or 4 pages) the word "criminal" never made it into their reporting, not even the more tame "liar" (which Trump was called hundreds of times, never-mind that everyone and his dog lies come election time).

Stuff like NYTimes and Washington Post were funny to read at times.

I wasn't aware. Interesting!
I see your point, and we do tighten security on our database so that only certain users can perform ALTER, DROP etc. No doubt that can be done on NoSQL as well.

I guess I was talking about 'inadvertent' database changes. It seems that things like a simple typo can end up creating new attributes in a table when you didn't want it to, e.g. lets say earlier in my code, I have:

mytable.thisthing = 1

Then later on, someone mis-types:

mytable.thatthing = 2

I now have TWO attributes in my table instead of having the original "thisthing" attribute changed to 2.

An app with an SQL backend will usually throw an 'object/column not found' error if it recognises an attribute/column that is not on the original spec, but a couple of the NoSQL systems I've dealt with will happily take that line of code and work away with it, making debugging down the track a bit of a nightmare.

I am sure you can harden your NoSQL service to prevent this sort of thing, but then it becomes a question of whether the extra effort involved is worth it as compared to sticking with SQL where you are more constrained, but have better control over inadvertent table changes.
Will this be open source, or will we have to trust Kapersky that it is secure?
> it's not about politics, it's about commerce.

Absolutely. The other classic is ads disguised as news. Sometimes they'd usually be a little disclaimer but not always. Some videos have people acting like news anchors talking about buying cleaning products.

So it is about revenue as well. However I don't think it is coincidental everyone all of the sudden started to talk about "Fake News" since a few days ago.

Sorry but I can't agree with you here. When Monero still allowed mixin 0 transactions almost nobody used the privacy-enhancing transaction type. The same goes for Dash and it's DarkSend, or Shadow's ring-signature side-currency - all virtually unused.

Thus X grows at a rate that is useless for its intended purpose: getting lost in the dust of millions of others.

But to make matters worse, ZCash is grossly irresponsible by not making private transactions mandatory, as people will use t-address transactions and think they're safe. Pools pay out to t-addresses, exchanges only accept t-address deposits, and lightweight clients will all end up being t-address only as it's the quick win.

Claiming that it's "just an experiment" is not acceptable when people's money is on the line, at best, and where their lives might hang in the balance, at worst. The disgusting and dangerous approach taken by the for-profit US company behind ZCash, that of fast-tracking the launch of massively immature technology due to investor pressure, is something that should lead to grave consequences for them because of the nature of this technology.

I greatly respect the work of Ben-Sasson, Green, Garman, Miers, et. al., but even they have been complicit in the rush hack-job that is ZCash. We would do well to consider what advantage a nation state attacker would have in encouraging adoption of this immature and likely broken system, over alternatives that are FOSS and have prolific contributor communities.
This is interesting, yes, but secure is not secure because we had a nice architectural idea. It's a long term process of review and improvement.

If they release this as open source I would be interested in looking and learning more and in a year or two, if the community develops maybe it's something worth deploying to production

Point is, there's no low-powered user option. You can't be a casual and survive. I can't just engage every few months when I feel like it if I have to pay a subscription. A user has to put in a lot of effort BEFORE they get anything out, and then has to keep up that effort.

>Is this going to scale? ...not that much bandwidth for any given densely populated area. We're going to keep having our local ISP in cities (they're giving between 0.1 and 1 Gb/s on fiber right now)

Except the goal isn't to replace fiber in densely populated areas. Musk said this during the initial announcement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHeZHyOnsm4&t=2m57s

>The goal will be to have the majority of long distance internet traffic go over this network, and about 10% of local and business traffic. Probably 90% of people's local access will still come from fiber, but we'll do about 10% of business and consumer direct, and more than half I think of the long distance traffic.

True. Some believe in an open global community and some freedoms that come with that, in many different nuances. So a global communication network that supports that is great. With an open society comes freedom of speech and other related freedoms. Most certainly freedom of opinions, even when the actual opinions and fervent activities from some groups contrasts fully with foundation of the open society.

Mostly, interestingly enough, the premise of these contrasting groups and opinions are actually based on the idea that some third party external group is imposing on their freedoms and well-beings. Romans laid continents under their taxing rule by fear mongering, nothing new and you hardly need a free and open digital global communication network for that.

My personal belief here is that these developments will self adjust. Unfortunately through great friction and pain. Any open society that eventually submerges into the rule of a "Trump/Bannon" group, will eventually self destruct slowly. If the core premise of a society is fear mongering of a third party external group (Jews, Muslims, Republicans, West-, East-, Capitalist-, Communist.. ) the core problem is that you're trying to fix your head ache by shooting yourself in the foot. And then the next foot from that..

Power is profoundly addictive and corrupting. If you've been a failure up to now, and suddenly you're in power for blaming some low influence group, that blame will only grow stronger and stronger with the failures of making a positive impact for the desperate people that put you in power.

Ask HN: I'm being recruiter spammed through Entelo. How do I stop it?
A few weeks ago I wanted to test the job market and freshen up my interviewing skills so I applied to a few places on Angelist and decided to go to a few tech meet ups. Almost a few days after that I noticed myself getting spammed heavily by recruiters (e-mail, phone, Linkedin, etc.). One recruiter mentioned they were reaching out because Entelo (a recruiting software) has marked me as a job hunter.

At this point, I'm getting worried because I get e-mails and phone calls several times a day, and I'm worried that my employers will find out (either glancing at my phone with notifications or maybe Entelo notifying recruiters at my company). I'm guessing this is happening because there are bots scraping info off AngelList. Does anyone know how I can stop this? Are there any activities I should curb? (I don't have too much of a public imprint but I don't know what private info Angelist / LinkedIn / etc. leaks)?
