I like it, but it just reminds me of how much we missed by letting terminals stagnate through the 90's.

You want those URLs that turn up to be clickable. Modern terminals help you a bit here. But in a parrallel universe (Emacs perhaps?), the terminal itself would display the graphics and have markup for links etc.
Well... obviously, I guess. If you actually want people to care, you need to talk about something they can relate to. It can't be abstact.

As someone who has spent most of their life in AZ, I'm generally confused why we don't get rid of it... If nobody used it, it would be much easier to have localized time just work. Not to mention more consistent offsets from UTC.

Date/Time logic in particular us just painful all around.
I've written a little game in React Native, and I was really surprised when react-native-web just worked almost out of the box. If you don't have many native libraries, then it's really easy to write an app that works in a browser.
The intent of my question was to ask for clarification if the OP thought that this was going be a watershed moment.

My comment regarding the position of this story in the news cycle was only meant to be relevant to the question of whether the OP felt that this case was going to be a catalyst, nothing more.

It was in no way meant to trivialize the importance of the case. That's an assumption you made, incorrectly.

It was not meant to be a commentary on the importance of privacy or the importance of the conversation surrounding privacy which is something I care deeply about.

Incidentally, what are the "broader cultural forces at play"? That's a pretty nebulous if not completely banal statement.
> the comparable scenario would be that your electricity company charges you a variable rate depending on which manufacturers appliances you buy

The scenario you introduce is different from the specific line I was responding to. My intention was to show that some more consideration and rework of the idea could bring more clarity. You have helped refine Sam's point and now I understand it better, but as I read it, it seemed like something that should be addressed.

> Consumers generally tolerate that network management for some things is ok, for example, constraining the transfer speed of users at peak times.

I could have a switch to change my water heater to the non-interruptible service if I needed to use it during a time of peak demand. How does "pay more for priority" fit into the net neutrality picture? Is it okay as long as the user is the one choosing which of their traffic is in the fast or slow lane?
Scorpions in North Carolina? WTF?
It's technology news. Technology is everywhere, you know.
I think there was deliberate selection of the type of organizations and the interests they represent for this letter; I don't think it's an accident that it doesn't include tech firms and content hosts, but political advocacy groups and content creators.
Who knows, but it'd be pretty irrational if it did. Whether it was fair or not, the "Common Markdown" name caused a kerfluffle because of the implication that it was claiming to be the One True Markdown. The name "GitHub Flavored Markdown" only implies that it's base Markdown plus GitHub extras, plus it's been known by that name for a long time now.
What do you mean by this? Otherwise, this should be flagged.

I think this will be a really awesome way for people to get a taste of GraphQL, without needing to write any code up front!

There are already some other tools that will give you a GraphQL API in very little code, but the fact that this one is hosted means you can host a frontend on GitHub pages or something, send it to your friends, and have a basic app going.
Absolutely. Naming is hard.
takes will + effort to fight entropy.
"your self" in this case is just a manifestation of a physical entropy-prone world that you are dealing with.

some of that is pre-programmed or instilled by the circumstance, anything above and beyond that requires additional effort that might seem like it's applied at "fighting yourself".
It speaks more to you as an individual that you believe the people around you should be pursuing things like "symbolic logic" or "global politics" rather than mindless games. Who are you to indict others for their hobbies, and on what authority can you judge their hobbies' value?

Look, HN is becoming a self-parody with this anti-Facebook circlejerk. People are allowed to have different lifestyles, and despite the inane comparisons to heroin that are being tossed around this thread, it's really not indicative of a systemic societal failure that people rather play Candy Crush on their phone than whatever noble pursuit you'd have them do while waiting to take off.

Take a look at that old photo of people reading newspapers on the train sometime. People thought the sky was falling with "new media" then, too. Every new media goes through an initial renaissance before it proceeds to mainstream appeal and accessibility. Not everyone wants to be like that kid you read about who built his own computer.
When's the last time consumer protection on the internet "won" though?

My browsing history is about to go up for sale. My emails are fair game for the US government with no warrant. My ISP is free to double-charge for peering, driving my Netflix subscription costs up. My mobile operator is streaming certain services without it counting against my data, while services I want to use still do. I have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to my ISP for a decent connection, despite the government giving telecoms huge subsidies (our own tax dollars) in exchange for building nationwide fiber, most of which went straight to the company's own coffers with no repercussions.[1]

If there was at least some back-and-forth, I would see your point, but as it stands I only see one failure after another.

People have been using React since 2014. Is 3 years really still "du jour"?
We rescued a group (mother, son, three of his friends) a three weeks ago on California's highway 4. It was at night after all the ski traffic was gone; they didn't understand their car well enough to know why it had failed (they'd even noticed the transmission fluid leaking out before they set off), no shovel, no cold gear beyond ski parkas, not even water. The were also astonished that there was no phone service (in fact none for another 20 miles).

On one hand I'm glad technology has developed such that people can drive around without knowing to check fluids, how to build a shelter, etc. On the other hand I see people at the edges of the wilderness who plainly haven't the faintest idea what is going on (and in some cases how much danger they are in).

Typically I don't butt in. In this case when we stopped to see if they needed help they said "no" but my GF insisted on getting out and finding out that yes, they wanted help but didn't want to impose. (they day before she stopped to make sure we found the owner of a stray dog in the street, that turned out to have been lost. She's a good influence on me).

> 2) The fact that huge outcry over the NSA is not visible might just mean we're looking in the wrong places. I've traveled across the country by land twice in two years, stopping at hundreds of rural campfires and urban watering holes. My experience is that people are very upset with the state and want their rights back. And that, one way or another, they'll get 'em.

If they genuinely wanted to be alone, in substantial numbers, they wouldn't be voting for either major party in the US which are both "big government" parties.

I understand its a popular meme and thing to bitch about. The reality of people's actions, the degree of effort they expend in that direction, and so forth sends a completely different message.

Actions speak far louder than words.

Now, you can argue those aren't "their" actions but if you do so you are conceding the OP's point that the problem is ignorance.

To be honest, I think its a combination of those things. Some people "care" but not more than they care about enforcing a certain social conservative world view. Some people simply do not have the time/energy for politics and simply believe the words that politicians say.

Let me know when those people delete their FB accounts and stop using most of Google's services.
I don't understand why a basic "pay for what you use" principle is so evil while Facebook is a much bigger threat (worse than AOL in its day).

Given Elon & Thiel are both in contact with Trump, if you haven't already done so, it would be worth mentioning it directly to both that this is important to you.

For that matter, maybe this is a chance to you yourself reach out to Trump on an issue and invite him to meet at the White House or come to the Bay Area to meet the next batch of YC startups.
You touch on something interesting that I don't see often mentioned with NP-hard problems, and that's the actual inputs for where they're hard.

Packing a knapsack with many small items or items large relative to the knapsack make it relatively trivial.

It's often the case that NP real world problems actually have their inputs fall in the easier to solve ranges.

The tech community rallied pretty hard in favor of net neutrality last go-round, they were just lucky that Wheeler (head of the FCC) agreed with them.

I think there isn't anything specific to fight against now as there was with SOPA. Once a specific legislation/regulation appears, I think the tech world will strongly oppose again. I also suspect the large tech companies are trying to use their lobbying power behind the scenes preemptively again.

The bit about lying really struck a chord with me. I have been a compulsive liar for most of my life (25 now). Just this past Friday I lied to my skip level manager about the progress of a project.

I've lied about the most mundane things to even lying to my family and friends about graduating college. At this point I feel as if I've been struck by a disease. Worst of all is that I lie to myself the most with respect to how much it is affecting my life, and how dangerous it is for me to continue on this path. I've personally ran out of ideas for how to internally fix this.
It is a dichotomy. People want to share cause they need followers and likes like a Pavlovian dog. So they vomit every moment to everyone they can in search of another hit of dopamine. Except when someone shares something secret or embarrassing, then they want privacy, but still only for these few things.

I think the problem is that we haven't matured as a culture yet to handle this amount of accessibility and sharing. The pendulum is currently in the full share quadrant but will swing back as the consequences of over sharing mount. I expect social media to look vastly different in 10 years time but lessons are only ever truly learned the hard way.
What are all those corner cases and hard problems? I routinely ask interview subjects to write code to manage a linked list (it was a small part of a problem in a previous job), and I've been asked to write a ll class.

Writing a linked list is like hiring someone to be a professional driver, and you want to make sure they know that you can change tires, and that one should adjust mirrors to be able to see behind the car.
Director of Design from Quora: Design Conflicts in FB Messenger Day
It's not a technical problem. All distro package managers allow for parallel-installed libraries one way or another.

What's necessary for your distro to actually ship multiple versions is someone stepping up to actually maintain the thing, dealing with bug reports and monitoring security issues.

For libraries with many users that happens all the time. See the parallel packages for OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1 in most distro repositories. For less popular libraries it's often easier to just patch all users and only ship the most recent version.

Nowadays LLVM seems firmly placed in the first camp, as patching programs to work with different LLVM versions can be a lot of work and there are quite a lot of them.

Looking into the Debian repos, you find packages for LLVM 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 4.0, in addition there's even a 5.0 pre-release snapshot. It's similar with Fedora and probably other distributions.

It's interesting to watch re-runs of Gilligan's
Island on YouTube today, because the production
quality & scriptwriting is basically on par with
a YouTube webseries that a few college film students
could put together with iMovie today.

Ha ha! Woah, woah, woah, there. Hold on a second. You are biting off a chunk of effort and talent there, and throwing it in the trash, without considering some of the huge, huge, huge barriers to television production back in 1960's & 1970's. (...not Gilligan's Island, but MASH, kind of)

Film making used to be so absolutely and drastically different from the way it is now, and there was a lot of sacrificed wastage both in time and material, due to the level of technology and it's reliability back then.

Just to do things like little title sequences and animation, or audio production that didn't look horribly dubbed and poorly lip-synced required careful dedication and the effort of multiple people. All because of poor technology in general, a poverty of integrated circuitry, no software at all, and most post production being performed optically, in-camera and with practical effects. Indoor lighting alone was painfully costly, and doubly so, due to the level of technology of the day. The undertaking of some examples of matte paintings and set design of the era (again, not Gilligan's Island...) are kind of mind-blowing to read about.

There were also political aspects such as centralized access to broadcast networks, which were also subject to high technological overhead, dealing with analog signals and the limited reach of syndication across geographic regions.

You can't credit today's undergrad capabilities visible on youtube, and trash what used to require an army of people doing new things for the very first time, with the boon that off-the-shelf appliances and downloadable software make possible these days. It was a drastically different world 40+ years ago.

I think the apps rarely provide value or they are outside the normal workflow. I just replaced my kitchen scale and the new one has an app that essential tries to be my fitness pal. But I already use myfitnesspal so I'm not going to switch since the only time savings is the time spent typing in the weight(I still have to search for the food) which is offset by the food database being worse.

When I last used it, the time to import even two modules was many seconds. I know that's JIT time, but that breaks the flow of developing with Julia like it's a dynamic language. And the JVM is popular, yes, but nobody would call it "extremely fast", particularly for interactive use, because of its startup time.

The time to parse the data I needed was many minutes, slower than Python. Restarting a Jupyter kernel would break my flow every time.

The benchmarks are all for numerical computing, where the hard work is typically offloaded to a BLAS library anyway, and don't involve strings or dictionaries. Let's see a JSON parser in there and not just a Mandelbrot set.
Same happened to me on another account. Long standing account with karma over 1000. One little spat and the account got rate limited and its votes did nothing - its flagging rights remained though for some weird reason... Since then I've been on throwaways.
slightly modified:

The comparable scenario would be that your electricity company not only provides electricity, but also owns an appliance manufacturing chain. The electricity company charges you a different rate depending on which manufacturer's appliances you buy. Additionally, if you buy their appliances, then you get free electricity for those appliances.

The above scenario doesn't wrap in that it's not just a lower payment rate but, due to artificial caps on monthly usage, can lead to a situation where the only option becomes "use the ISPs preferred music/video/etc provider, or don't use that type of service at all".

edit:

P = (A * R) + (B * R') + C

Where:

P is the final bill a user pays (or data charged towards a cap)

A is the amount of services that are provided by the ISP/Provider/Pipe

R is the rate that is charged for the provider's own services

B is the amount of services that are provided by a third party

R' is the rate that is charged for the those third party services

C is a base payment amount (or zero in the case of considering P a data cap)

Assuming that equation, then the lower R is, the higher R' is, and lower P is, the more likely a consumer is going to choose ISP services.

So, if R is 0, then the ISP can slowly lower P (when considering it as a data cap) to be basically zero. Thus pushing out an ISP competitor services (or making new services not even viable), as the user is highly incentivized to use ISP services. The user is also incentivized to use ISP services, even if they are worse, otherwise be penalized with data cap usage or higher rates.

When R == R', then the ISP is a "dumb pipe", and competes to provides those services, and has no other incentive to do anything other than provide transit.

I think it holds in the scenario you're talking about. If ISP's had different rates at different times and made those times public, you could choose to stop yourself from using certain things at those times, but it's your choice (or whoever you decide to let make that choice for you, but that doesn't have to be the ISP).
