The old Command & Conquer series (Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2, 1999/2000) still have an active mod community. A significant factor is a few dedicated people who reverse-engineer the engine and make C++ patches/additions to it, giving regular modders much more power.

I used to be one of those people reverse-engineering Red Alert 2, and those years were certainly fun and challenging, as well as illuminating in the "this is why you don't <bad coding practice>" sense.

Fun fact: When EA repackaged those old C&C games for The First Decade bundle, they removed the No-CD checks. Most of the games were recompiled to achieve that, but since Red Alert 2 had these engine patches relying on absolute addresses, they went through the trouble of hex-editing the executable to keep the patches working.
There is widespread, well-known evidence of it, no matter how many times you try to raise doubts.
No but giving away massive amounts of monetizable information capital to private corporations for free sure is.
What about Waze, YouTube and double-click? Google core is search but their rev model is adtech; double click fits your definition.

YouTube competed hard in video; think about search w/o the "video" tab. Waze improved maps.

This wasn't a rant, it was a perfectly serious comment. Think of the people you know with spurious bipolar disorder diagnoses and who have been wrongly prescribed lithium and antipsychotics and all the rest of it. You know it's not real science.
Apple changed their gun emoji into a toy / water gun while others retained a realistic gun. An innocent message could become a criminal threat under the right circumstances. At least, it could be misinterpreted as a criminal threat, effectively shifting the burden to the sender to show that they meant "I am going to shoot you in the face with a water gun" instead of "I am going to blow your head off", Mr. Elected Official.

On the other hand, language has always been subject to wide-ranging interpretation so this isn't really new territory at all. We have countless examples of words or phrases that take on very different meanings in different parts of the world, or even country.
Those were never direct competitors and never a threat to Google. Unlike easy-to-duplicate and fleeting social networking companies. Keep trying and keep in mind the DNA of Google in terms of being founded based on algorithmic technology as opposed to cut, copying and pasting text entry boxes for vicariously spying on girls (while also calling users "dumb f*cks" is much different than a core algorithmic search engine. This is evident by Google's revenue and breadth in hardware (TPUs etc) and true AI. Add the fact that Google controls more popular properties and products in terms of user adoption and revenue.
Up until 1984, that was often done. Then, under the Reagan Administration, Congress changed the law to specify that material witnesses were to be given the same treatment as criminal defendants.[1]

Nonsense.

If the parents can't afford to feed their children then the children may be put into foster homes with parents who can properly take care of them.

Since only a few parents are (criminally) unable to feed their children, their problems are solved at minimal cost. Other students are not affected by misdirected funds paid to institutional food service vendors, school cafeteria services paid the lowest bid to feed school children instead of educating them.

Your bleeding heart shows:

"he kids are separated from their parents " - what kids wants to live with parents that won't feed them? Ans. Only abused kids.

"the parents are miserable because they lost their kids" - Hell, no. They're likely drug addicts, don't care about their kids, or are incapable of doing so. You're doing them a favor.

"taxpayers are miserable because they have to pay for your new imprisonment program" - You needn't imprison the parents; merely put their kids in decent homes.

My plan is less expensive by orders of magnitude than existing "solutions": it provides appropriate care for the few problematic kids w/o paying millions for institutional cafeterias, food workers, food refrigeration and storage, union dues and unnecessary meals for millions of kids. Money intended for education is spent on education instead of ham sandwiches and cheetos.
There's provability ("math"), and testability / falsifiability ("science"), and then there's just making it work amidst a deluge of trade-offs ("engineering"). If in the end, you simply can't make it work, the entire exercise becomes futile. In that sense, I do not really believe in favouring the formalisms of provability and testability at just any cost. If the person can actually solve the practical problem, then that should allow us to move on, no? That is why I like having that kind of people on my team.

You never had a panic attack. When the brain overloads in such situation will take the most extreme action it can, shut you down, put you to sleep so you can't feel anything probably. It won't happen to everyone but it does to many. I've had some panic attacks 5 years ago that got me close to that point. I didn't pass out but I was right there, in all instances I ended up in the ER though.

I have a friend who's girlfriend was driving one day and the car slipped off the road going towards an electrical pillar (it didn't hit it though because my friend managed to grab the wheel). Near the collision point with that pillar his girlfriend passed out, in an instant. We laughed at that situation for years. They ended up in someone's yard, killing a poor dog in his little house.
Of course the next bubble will require more than $3 trillion... And saying that things are going rather well is absurd.
Why is the new generation not using exact time like 6:45 5:30 etc? It is very confusing for non english speaker.Because we have to convert half to 30 and past to past and hour. Hmmm.... in recent trip two times is missed correct time and asked 6:45 or 7:15 tell me exact time. Is it very difficult for the people who are used say in work like half past seven to say 7:30 ?

Albertan here; we're flat and our roads are straight, but we also measure distances by travel time, whether in the city ("I live 20 minutes from the mall") or across the province ("Calgary is three hours from Edmonton").

I suspect that it's a western thing more than a terrain thing. I wonder if that applies to the western USA as well?

Another interesting thing that I've noticed is that Europeans and North Americans have a very different concept of historical time and relative distance. To me, a building that has stood for 100 years is OLD, and 200km (Somewhere that's "about an hour and a half to two hours away") is a day trip that's nothing​ out of the ordinary. When I was in the UK, I noticed that people held the opposite view - 100 years ago was just yesterday, relatively speaking, while traveling 200km for a day trip was inconceivable.
It doesn't seem that baffling to me. The majority of software applications could only moderately be improved by CS algorithms.

Edit: I remember distinctly how some of my colleagues were touting the possibility of using emoji in Swift code as identifiers as a feature. The whole premise sounded more like Poe's Law to me then, too.
Even more confusing is when people don't give an indication of which side of the hour they're talking about. I grew up speaking Canadian English, and was completely lost when I asked a Brit for the time and was told "Quarter four".

That articles doesn't even make the claim you're making (that Facebook is blocking articles that criticize them), let alone provide evidence of that.
I agree with you about the VA. But when you say the industry needs more engineers not coders I find this ironic because I have lots of engineering friends who became coders, and no coding friends who became engineers.

I really like ngrok. I use it a lot. I just really dislike how the TCP tunnels work. With HTTP you get a unique subdomain which makes it harder for people to just scan and connect. With TCP, it's always 0.tcp.ngrok.io, so you can just scan that domain and connect to anything that's open.
They are also one of the only big news organizations that regularly criticizes Facebook, so I guess the answer to the original question of why more people don't criticize Facebook is that the only demographic that are interested in that kind of thing are conspiracy theorists.
I didn't claim that, what I claimed was that coincidentally, the same sites that criticize Facebook were also being labeled as fake news.
I stopped used ngrok because after opening the tunneled URL a few times it started saying "too many HTTP requests" on a Wordpress project. It is common for those to have many images/scripts/styles so throttling by number of requests makes ngrok unusable, now a happy localtunnel user.
Free option is still there (listed below the plans).

> The social networking giant recently launched a new feature in which users could flag content as “spam” or “fake news” – a system that allows huge numbers of organized users to flag content simply because they disagree with it or it offends them

They cite this, then go on to make the completely unsubstantiated claim that that's somehow 'proof' of FB censoring them - and with such obvious slipshod "reporting" I honestly don't see what the problem is with FB blocking them as a "news" source and relegating them to being an opinion blog.
I'm surprised that ngrok is something new for HN community.

Anyway, happy customer here! Recommending this product whenever I go:) It has became an essential part of my workflow.
On the other hand, the gang leader was in the same prison as he, presumably because somebody spoke to the cops. The alternative to that would be that the gang leader was the authority around that town and there would be a ton of other awful cascade effects from that scenario too.

It was not obvious that talking to the cops in this case would end up with him later being arrested at work and losing his job. Even the judge, once having the situation explained to her, released him and now expects a higher standard of evidence from the DA who clearly overstated the situation according to the social norms we expect. I'm glad that there are people who stand up for what is wrong, even when they personally suffer as a result. Rosa Parks was fired too!
Below the paid options:

Free Plan
For quick demos and other simple tunneling needs.
* HTTP/TCP tunnels on random URLs/ports
* 1 online ngrok process
* 4 tunnels per ngrok process
* 40 connections / minute
Consumer applications seem weak, but business uses abound. Think Google Analytics for factories or equipment deployments. GE collects gigabytes of data each time a plane lands with GE engines, for example.
You make it sound as if facebook didn't know exactly who the kinds of sites that would end up being flagged would turn out to be, and the only claim that I made was that, coincidentally, they also happen to be sites that criticize Facebook.
The question is whether the whole mobile game industry makes more money by advertising, or whether those games that advertise just make more money at the expense of others.

Imagine that in a world without ads, game revenue is: Game A: 600, Game B: 600, Game C: 600

But then A spends 300 on ads: Game A: 1200 (-300), Game B: 300, Game C: 300

In this case, game A "spent money to make money", but the overall industry's revenue was the same, and part of the profits now went to ads.

And it makes sense: advertising doesn't give consumers more money to spend, so the size of the pie is fixed, all they can do it redistribute it, extracting a slice in the process.

It is really sad that they focused on access control and not on distribution, respositories, versioning, compilation and runtime support like we wanted to do the first time around in JSR-277.
> More precisely, it feels the way Facebook did from 2009 to 2012, when it silently crossed over from one of those tech things that some people sometimes did to one of those tech things that everyone you know does every day.

Ubiquity is an interesting thought - there are very few apps that an average person uses on a daily basis that _aren't_ owned by Facebook. Four of the most used apps (Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp) are owned by the same parent company.

In China, we see an analogous example - to an even greater extent - WeChat is practically the de facto mobile OS. Where do we go from here? Hardware? WeChat seems most likely to do this, from my perspective. What happens when Tencent acquires Xiaomi and creates WeChatOS phones? What happens when Facebook does similar and Mark Zuckerberg controls nearly every waking moment of most Americans? Who is the Apple to the United States v. Facebook monopoly?
But it's not "coincidentally", they are criticizing Facebook because they were knocked down, and after they were knocked down.
> the military didn’t recognize code schools as legitimate enterprises

So they feel the same as a lot of us
Correct me but there seems to be a free vs. paid plan?

Seems free vs. paid is about reserving/custom domain vs. random one and a lot of security related feature. But the basic tunneling works for free am I correct in that?

Also what does the user really mean in terms of ngrok concurrent user or kind of named seat.
cool project! some of the conditions on the road are fairly predictable -- highway signs, lane markers, people, other cars, etc -- but what are some of the edge cases that you've had to account for? e.g. a mattress falls off a car in front of you. for lack of a better word, "weird" driving situations like that still seem to greatly favor human drivers, and I'm curious how you solve the problem.
I maintain a mountain of PHP. What attracts me to JavaScript is its syntax:

PHP:

$fruit = array('apple', 'banana', 'orange');

$fruit_colors = array(
'apple' => 'red',
'banana' => 'yellow',
'orange' => 'orange'
);

JavaScript:

var fruits = [ 'apple', 'banana', 'orange' ],

fruit_colors = {
apple: 'red',
banana: 'yellow',
oranage: 'orange'
};

That's like 20,000 fewer keystrokes and much easier to read. My favorite new feature in PHP is the short array syntax.

Even those less minimalistic than me, I think the draw to Node is the language, the consistency of having the same language front and back.

Much ado is made about which one is faster. But I would say roughly 99% of web apps are CRUD apps, with a few users per hour, and the bottleneck would be the database anyway.

For me what PHP has going for it is my familiarity with it. Plus, despite all the nitpicking articles, it is rock solid, especially compared to Node. And compared to Node, PHP is a hyper-organized library of everything you need, just an arm-length away.
Is it 32 or 64 bit? And what RV* ISA and extensions?

Facebook 10 years ago was much more exciting.
> I think it makes more sense to look at this graph:

That depends entirely on what you want to know. If you want to know the outcome on individual happiness and economic power, then no, it doesn't.

Whatever the reason, or whatever is reasonable (I do agree it's unreasonable to expect old people to work) the fact of the matter is that what 1 working individual in the 60s was producing was divided between 1.3 individuals. Today, it's > 2 (and that's in America, EU is worse). That's bound to have an impact on those individuals, the working ones, and the ones needing support.

Also another way of saying the same is that the generating coming of age in the 1980s and 1990s refused to have sufficient numbers of children. That is the reason the working age population now is stagnant (in practice shrinking).

But of course, the generation coming of age now is much worse when it comes to children. I understand why : it's harder. Even just having a bedroom for your child, just that expense, is ridiculous. It's so ridiculous that people making $100k+ in Silicon Valley have trouble doing so.

Still, the reason doesn't matter, and of course the net result will be a further shrinking working population in 20 years.

Poor kids. In this case, literally.
Infowars and Alex Jones regularly criticized organizations such as Google and Facebook that collect massive amounts of information capital from people well before the elections and the fake news headlines.
Often times the right answer is (and should be) "show me you can find and use a use license-compatible library that typically has orders of magnitude more testing in the real world than something you feel the need to re-implement from scratch right now".

The dirty secret is 90% of what happens in the real world (and on HN) is a solved problem that needs to be applied or re-applied. Someone has done it before and they've done it better than you will.
This is nuts. Only a small percentage of people can learn to effectively generate code. Thinking that veterans can be turned into developers is absurd - they'll get code-monkeys instead, with a few exceptions.

I don't believe that, at this time in the USA or in the future, education will save people in software development from unemployment. The only thing that will do that is having some smarts. And if you're smart, you already know what to do (for you). One of those things to do is head _away_ from software development if you're a noobie. At this time there are more developers worldwide than ever before, work continues to be offshored and developer wages are declining in the USA. You'd almost have to be insane to try to get a job writing code.

I'm afraid we are talking past each other. I do not know that quarks (or physical reality itself) exist; I merely infer it. Consciousness, on the other hand, is that very property by which I experience inference (among myriad other things). I do not have to (indeed, cannot) infer it.

Does it seem to you that anything at all is happening (e.g., that there seems to be a world around you, or that you seem to be having a thought)? Perhaps you're mistaken and it doesn't "really" seem, but only seems to seem. Nonetheless, it is that very seeming that I'm calling consciousness.

If I may ask: do you have significant experience with meditation? I suspect this conversation becomes easier when both parties have spent considerable time in the space between thoughts.
