Several years ago, I started treating downvotes as feedback on what I wrote. Maybe I was not clear in stating my view. Maybe I did not sufficiently back my view up with examples, facts or rationales. Maybe what I wrote was just plain wrong. Maybe what I wrote didn't add anything to the conversation.

The practice of editing [and deleting] of my comments seems to have made my writing better. Writing for myself is easier than writing for an audience. And writing for an audience that expects me to give a shit is harder than writing for the audience that admires people for pretending to not give a shit. And no doubt, this thread illustrates -- as if the rest of the internet did not already provide overwhelming evidence -- that there is a large audience for writing that pretends not to give a shit.

Flame warriors and trolls are the original internet crowd. Not giving a shit is not a unique point of view. It's the default content of all the little internet boxes into which people can type. It's good that downvotes hurt because the solution is writing something better.

Good luck.
Are you logged in in a private window? I use the setting "Always use private browsing mode" in FF52, so all of my windows are in private mode, but whenever I open a new (private) window, I'm still logged in. I suspect you'd get the same behaviour with the default settings, and opening two new private windows.
BULLSHIT. A 13 year old child was kidnapped, abused and sold. she was not a sex worker.
> America’s largest classified website, was to buy a fridge. The second time she sold some clothes.

I've never heard of backpage as anything but prostitution. Are there regions where it won out over Kijiji and CraigsList for buy and sell classifieds?

There is a big benefit if you depend on the Linux kernel. Generally you can use latest long term support kernels on x86. For non-x86 devices you can very easily find yourself with a kernel that is over half a decade old, end of lined, lacking support for recent hardware (eg wifi sticks) and similar problems.
Would be great if you could create an issue and write some more details about your requirement.
I have felt this way my whole life. I'm just starting to think the same, that I'm the abnormal one. I had assumed that we, as a society, were on the downhill side of women's equality. Then Sessions became the AG and I watched women testifying in front of Congress treated like it was 1950.

I think all that progress we made over the last 50 years was partly in my head.
there is ufw and firewalld.
The point is precisely that it doesn't.
Maybe it's part of a "list of things to do first" when a target has been breached by gaining access. There are mass email-based phishing attacks, there are spear-phishing attackes, and there are likely procedures to follow when a specific group's target has given up physical access via root.

As for RH-only, what makes us think that there aren't also Debian and other similar attacks?

MS-Word is also "somewhat unimpressive," as it's only usable on Windows.
How do the courts rationalise privacy concerns of the less tech-savvy?

Do we assume everyone reasonably knows how to block surveillance attempts by Facebook/Google?

Shouldn't privacy be a default right, and that users can opt-in (to be tracked) with their expressed consent instead?
You misunderstood GP's comment. They're not suggesting that abusive sex trafficking doesn't exist, but that it's the small minority of what happens on Backpage.

>"For those unaware, dark fiber refers to fiber in the ground that was overbuilt by the owning company, in this case Level3."

Overbuilding is not the differentiator though. During the original dot com boom of the 90's yes there was a lot of excess capacity due to overbuilding but dark fiber is really any fiber that is currently unlit that is available for lease.

Building capacity can be and often is the business model itself. For example you pull fiber through an urban area and then sell IRUs(indefeasible right of use) on a cable pair, usually for a period of 20 years. As a fiber provider I may not have ever intended to light that fiber myself so it was never overbuilt.
What is TLA?
It's only unfair if someone else is willing to pay you more in order to generate that 2 million OR if no one else is willing to generate that 2 million for 120k. In that case, switch jobs. I find that programmers often overestimate their value.
This is helpful to me because I want to learn how to explain (complex) systems.

Incidentally, this complexity is what led me to build my own little vdom utility <https://github.com/hyperapp/hyperapp>.

I guess my definition of city might be tighter than everyone else's then. When people said about driving to get around a city I was thinking 'nobody who has to go to Harrods and then the British Museum will be driving themselves between those two places'.
I'm not sure this is true. Online prices tend to be lower than in store. So the cost of goods overall is lower and consumers effectively can buy more items.

Also, when considering retail, the shipments from warehouse to store are in bulk, whereas shipments direct to consumer are small numbers of discrete items, which requires more handling for picking, packing and shipping.

>I believe the reason this is so hard to find out is that it's in their contracts that they can't disclose their earnings publicly.

YouTube isn't exactly enthusiastic about people sharing their revenue data, but they're not stopping anyone. Most creators choose not to, purely for reasons of commercial sensitivity. Some do, most notably CGP Grey and Dave Jones of EEVBlog. Dave Jones had an average eCPM of $1.36 pre-adpocalypse; CGP Grey's post-adpocalypse video had an estimated eCPM of $1.11.
There has to be a place to draw the line - if somebody is running a child prostitution ring under your nose on your property, then you've failed in your responsibilities as a business owner.

Too many software companies these days operate as "dumb pipes" and are allowed to wash their hands of their responsibilities as middle-men for unthinkable crimes. Whether it's Amazon selling lead-laden baby-toys (and then blame ephemeral Chinese companies for the problem) or classified pages being a storefront for child-prostitutes, or social media being a vector for harassment and threats:

If you own the venue and you profit off of its use, you have a responsibility to not facilitate crime.
100% remote is out of the question I think..

The IBM VGA8 sent me into a funk of nostalgia not only for the early 90s, when a trusty 386 was my best and only friend, but also for 99+, when my first forays into Linux forever cemented the default console font in my visual memory.

Thank you for summing the up in a way that is accurate and not overdramatic. I think the hardest thing about describing today's work environment is that it's easy to dismiss as "millennials" or "spoiled tech workers". The mental aspects are crushing in a way that is hard to describe to someone that is in a more easily understood challenging position like retail or food service.
Ask HN: Anyone having trouble with their CRM/marketing automation?
Just curious how many in the "tech-oriented" community is having trouble with their CRM/marketing automation setup.

It seems like the glut of tools that are out there satisfies a lot of needs yet having spoken to a few non-technical people, it seems that they haven't. So I wonder if it's just a general awareness problem that the non-technical audience are unaware of the solutions available.
Depends on your country I'd say. In mine not all.
I'm curious about this. Can anyone elaborate on this?

I mean, the fonts on this site are >30 years old, so:

- would it really be 'illegal' to share these files

- would the copyright holders (say, IBM) have any reason to take a site like this down?
I don't own a car (anymore). I live 1 minute from 2 tram - and 2 bus lines and 3 minutes from a train station with great connectivity to just about everywhere.

I have a share in a car sharing cooperative with about a dozen cars, from a smart to a Mercedes transporter within five minute walking distance. Renting a car costs you $3-4 per hour plus 50 cents to 1$ per kilometer (half after 100 kilometers)

The problem with car sharing is that people tend to use their cars all at the same time: morning commute, afternoon commute, evening errands/leisure

Now here's the thing: With this setup you absolutely do not rent a car to get to work, or for leisure activities that you can perform equally well by using public transport. Plus: No parking hassle and no problem if you have a couple of drinks.

Car sharing only makes sense for the occasional use of a car (which happens ca. 5 times a year, when I really need it) and not if you need a car on a regular basis, like getting to work.

But then, it doesn't only make a ton of sense, it also offers very considerable savings at no downside. That, of course, only works when there's good public transport available as an alternative to car ownership.
I've recently gotten back into electronics, a hobby from my teens, thanks to the Maker movement, the Arduino, the Raspberry Pi, etc. I'm interested in doing some home automation projects. I like to read science fiction, science popularization, tech history, some biographies, etc. I've been active in the local SF fandom community for decades and I used to belong to the SCA (a medievalist group).

I also sing choral music. I've been in some sort of chorus since 7th grade. Enjoyment of music gives me an entirely different sense of satisfaction and pleasure than do my more intellectual interests and I think that's healthy and helpful to being more well rounded.
In fairness, it's cheaper to build a parking spot than a three-story building...

philz coffee, for real.. i've talked about it elsewhere on this forum

that was the most insane interview process that i have ever seen.. at least in regards to the asymmetry between interview process and the work being hired for.. i joked that i was expecting at one point to be asked to draw up a linked list on a whiteboard, or what is the worst case execution of heapsort

'->' denotes 'if accepted'

email a resume-> fill out comprehensive online application with questions like 'what is your greatest achievement in life' -> vid conference interview -> in house interview to meet the hiring manager -> in house interview where you meet the manager you will be working under

minimum wage, and is even one of the least demanding jobs by cafe standards: philz is all pour over, and each employee is only ever responsible for four cups at a time..this is at least how it is designed, i'd be unsurprised if real employees are required to take on more work during a rush beyond what they were hired to do without any pay incentives to do so..

but really, do you honestly think that everything is fine with the way labor, especially on the low income end, is being treated?

there is a serious problem here that needs to be address instead of ignored by holding up accusations of hyperbole as more important to discuss

your response reads like a dismissal of the gp

there are important factors to consider in regard to your comment

regional: where do you live? where are these labor issues worse? rural? city? east, west, south, mid?

educational: how educated are you and your friends? are those being denied work well educated? primary and secondary school educated?

racial discrimination, gender discrimination, age discrimination, and on and on.. this is a very complex issue

but i'll address your comment being similarly dismissive: Everyone I know who wanted a minimum wage job got one without any experience, maybe I just know a lot of outliers though.

all of your friends working minimum wage jobs had 0 work experience? how old are you? 14?

Backpage sound pretty evil here, any argument about prostitution can be ignored entirely:

Backpage was focused on getting as many ads posted as possible. It instructed moderators to edit ads and strip out the code words used by pimps to indicate that the person in the ad was a child.

Words such as “Lolita”, “fresh” and “amber alert”... were edited out and the ads posted.

In one subpoenaed email believed to be from Backpage management, moderators were instructed: “If in doubt about underage: the process for now should be to accept the ad”

(I added formatting for clarity)
It's like having a BBS in my web browser.

This does bring back a lot of memories of sitting in front of a 486 trying to get Commander Keen to load.
I find that when I repeat the same argument, I'm actually trying to convince myself. He is intellectually convinced he is doing the right thing, but the emotional pull of peer pressure is strong.
I feel that's missing the point of the article, which is a specific attack on Backpage's policy and approach to sexual content involving children. Nothing is said about sex work generally hosted on the website.
It is just not true that Tesla is worth more than GM in the common understanding of that. The real answer to "Why Tesla is Worth More Than GM" is one sentence: GM has more debt than Tesla.

People understand (and the article gives reasons why) "worth more than" to be that the GM brands + factories + assets + future prospects are worth less than Tesla brands + Tesla factories + Tesla assets + Tesla future prospects. But this is not true in actuality. This is because Tesla is worth more than GM based on Market Capitalization, not Enterprise Value. The difference between these companies is that GM has $51B in net debt while Tesla has $2.6b.

If GM wanted to be "worth more than Tesla" (using market cap), they could do it tomorrow by issuing $51B in new stock and paying off their debt. Why doesn't GM do this? Because they actually believe their stock is undervalued, and would rather buy their own stock than sell it.

Debt (leverage) is different across different companies. If you aren't familiar with how different debt levels affect the market cap, the following pages are worth a read:

Why do DHH's ramblings still make it to the front page of HN?
Looking at data from the city of Amsterdam, which has specific reasons for keeping track of the value of land, then a reasonable price for a piece of land in a good location is about EUR 3000 per m2. So for 10 m2 you would expect to pay EUR 30,000 to buy it. That would make the main annual costs the interest of a mortgage for this amount. Currently in the Netherlands that would be around EUR 900 per year.

(Amsterdam keeps track of the price of land because basically the city rents out land and doesn't sell it. Price real estate owners pay is based on the estimated price of the land)

Yeah, I occasionally go through a lot of post and click "don't see any more stuff from MYCATS" or whatever. But it's gotten to the point where you just can't stop it that way either. I think "like" now means "see more crap from here" otherwise how would so many people be viewing so much junk.

> What’s more, where GM’s production led to eight jobs in its supply chain for every one person it employed directly, the ripple effects of the Big Five’s businesses, with the exception of Apple, are much smaller.

Would Amazon's ripple effect be pretty big too? All the products it sells have manufacturers (who have employees). Or is it better described by disintermediation, where a product that is sold via Amazon now would have been sold via brick & mortar before?
Disclaimer: I'm a casual Linux user, not an experienced system administrator.

My understanding is that ufw uses iptables under the hood. I use ufw, yet my laptop (casual user) has iptables; don't know whether it was installed as a result of installing ufw, or if it's there by default.

Regardless of using iptables or ufw, these are both for manipulating the lower level kernel network firewall. And the article shows using iptables to load an nf kernel module. (I think) it's the module that's important, and iptables is just the convenience function to get it done.

Anyone who has root access could easily install and uninstall iptables, or use some other method of module installation.

I think.

> HN users pride themselves on objectivity, but sadly much of it is ditched in favor of defensiveness (or the other dismissive reactions mentioned in the article) when SV culture is put under a critical microscope.

Can you clarify how exactly objectivity clashes with opinions on fairly subjective matters(e.g. sexism)? Is there an objective standard of sexism that was applied in a rigorous analysis of "SV culture"(whatever that is..) that HN users are being defensive about? Can you provide some examples to what you mean?
That's exactly what GPUs do in a single thread, but GPUs are also about threading, usually sporting tens, if not hundreds of small cores to effectively allow them to compute that many pixels (or rather shader outputs) in parallel. Otherwise, it wouldn't scale much.

Crying "shaming" in response to people pointing out your neither being constructive nor producing a substantive point to engage with is, honestly, rather missing the point of how HN works.

The purpose of downvoting is to indicate that your comments mostly consist of assertions that "react is bad" without really making a proper case for it, and as such don't really contribute to the signal of the discussion at hand - especially since the discussion at hand is about an explainer of the architecture, not a critique of the architecture itself.

If you look at e.g. discussions on vue vs. react posts you'll find that the "react is overcomplicated, here's a cost/benefit analysis" opinion is not controversial at all, and that a reasoned discussion of it will be responded to constructively (or that non-constructive responses will themselves be downvoted).
This is the normal cycle of Internet image host, its shocking photobucket took this long to reach this point.

There is fundamentally no profit in hosting images for free that people embed/link directly.

The same thing has happened to countless image hosts beforehand, and is going to happen to imgur too as soon as the music stops and the stacks of VC cash fueling the furnace are all burned away.

This is a great example of a market failure. Nobody wants a sustainable model where the image host can actually make money. As soon as they start taking away the "direct image links" feature, which is the only feature anyone actually cares about, and the thing that has zero possibility to make money, ever, everyone flees onto the next host, and the cycle starts anew.

We need another solution here. Maybe IPFS? Maybe torrents? Maybe some image hosting foundation?

It sucks badly that the Internet loses its collective image heritage every few years because somebody else thought that they could give it away for free and make it up in volume.
I wish there was a name for that too, though I wouldn't call it a fallacy - more of a game theoretic strategy that plays out in any kind of adversarial situation. I've most commonly noticed it in lying: given two parties with imperfect information about each other, one is lying and the other is sniffing out the lie.

The liar predicts, on a basic cost-benefit analysis, that "throwing away" information that satisfies a bar of suspicion will be enough indirection to quell further inquiry, because acting perfectly erudite won't "win." The liar doesn't value this information much or at all (and more importantly, knows that the other party doesn't really value that information much either), but knows that the inquiry will be dropped because the other party will think they value the information enough for it to be a confession.
Given that many if the images were used for temporary postings, I wonder how much backlash could have been avoided by letting old images he accessed by this parties but blocking images uploaded after a certain date?
Wow, it seems the McClure PR machinery is downvoting pretty straightforward comments and stories that don't appear to violate any HN rules!
