"Leaving it as-is would modify existing Supreme Court caselaw, but the decision itself wouldn't have come from the Supreme Court, which could lead to a bit of ambiguity. If the Supreme Court itself weighs in, even just to agree with the lower court, it eliminates that ambiguity. No one is left wondering "What if it had gone to the Supreme Court" about the decision."

Doesn't this reasoning apply to every case that comes before the Supreme Court, even those it refuses to hear?
APRS is something like that, popular with hams.
Not sure what you're getting at. Security vulnerability?
It is the doubt and suspicion thus generated that are really toxic...as it takes one a long time and non-trivial effort in order to concretely verify any evidence of paid shilling -- and before that, for all this long time, we have to doubt and suspect, which would soon make it quite discouraging to have any interesting discussion...

We could send emails to hn@ycombinator.com , but the thing is that I don't know how long it would take for us to get any feedback -- as presumably, this is largely a manual investigation on the mod's part; and I don't know how many such emails a mod would receive in a day...and during all this time of waiting for feedback or a possible action, a regular user engaging in a discussion might have to bear all the attacks and gaslighting -- and sometimes the attacker(s) could be quite insidious...

For instance, I used to have another new account, which had very little karma points...And after making a few comments for the first time, one of which contained some discussion about the censorship by the Chinese government ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14742211 ) -- then two of my other comments (relatively neutral and containing nothing about Chinese government or so), which I did not think were aggressive or factually erroneous, soon had been downvoted multiple times. As a result, my karma points dropped sharply, and my account was soon forbidden by the system to make any new comment for some time (basically, it had been DoS'ed)...

I still do not know at this time if there was any intentional manipulation behind that case...

Well, I could have reported the incident, as a possible malicious DoS attack on my account, to the mod -- but I was also banned by the system at the time and could not continue with the discussion for a while...Or I could register another new account...The thing is, it is just getting quite uninteresting and discouraging for people who want to have some real discussion to stay on...

I have to say that I don't know a better solution, as in such similar situations, than sending complaints to the mod...but I just feel that perhaps this solution is still not enough to fix the whole problem...

======================

Edit 1:

I just looked it up and found that gaslighting is indeed an attack vector:

a form of manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt
in a targeted individual or members of a group, hoping
to make targets question their own memory, perception,
and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection,
contradiction, and lying, it attempts to destabilize
the target and delegitimize the target's belief.

(as defined in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting)
In the case of tortious interference, Google would be selectively attempting to interfere with the existing business relationship between the ISP and its customers by targeting specific ISPs it deems as violating what it considers as net neutrality.

Where as an ISP is unaware of any specific relationship and therefore isn't attempting to interfere.

IANAL but that's my interpretation of this specific tort law.

I didn't even realise it was today until part way through reading this page of comments.

Hacker News -> Noticed the black/grey bar, but assumed it was a variant of the "someone notable has died" black bar so didn't pay it much attention.

Reddit -> Didn't even see the altered logo until probably the tenth page I was on, and just though "Oh, the logo didn't load in all the way, weird" (by the time it gets to the "Bandwidth exceeded" message it's probably off the page, and even that's hardly a call to (user) action).

Google/Twitter/Facebook -> Didn't notice anything.

If you have not read all the fragments, you by definition don't know enough about UB to protect against it! Sorry.

For new data, you can get back most of that lost space by setting the recordsize to 1M. You won't necessarily see the improvement in your df and zfs list commands, as they assume smaller max recordsize, but your overhead should drop significantly.
>This is a contradiction. Does working in an expensive location provide more value to the business?

The value you create is the upper bound for your pay; the lower bound is what you're willing to accept. Expensive locations raise that lower bound significantly. Devs won't work in Silicon Valley for $40k because that's not a comfortable wage. In Eastern Europe it is.
That's awesome. I remember always hearing 10% when I was a kid, which looks about right on that first chart, assuming it takes a few years before things are commercialized. It's terrific to see the march of improvements in efficiency.
I want a way to force sites to become static after they are rendered. Just frozen, as though they were on paper. I am tired of scrolling making menu bars move around or triggering popovers.

Getting rid of passwords. Passwords are the easiest way for others to get access to your accounts.

A move to federated identity, with a standardized API, and integration with the browsers, would fix all these issues. You could easily use a federated identity provider with support for 2FA, and ALL your accounts would immediately work with 2FA.

And, with federated identity, you can also run your own, if you don’t trust Google or Facebook login.
One reason is that a lot of these tech companies make a bulk of their money from selling content, which is in large part dependent on production houses that are run by cable companies anyway. So on the one hand Netflix will make a show of supporting net neutrality, but will discriminate among different internet users (vpn users), by denying them access.

> How is the electoral college system not in conflict with the Constitution then, if a person's vote in one state is much stronger than another person's vote in another state?

The electoral college system gives equal weight to the vote of everyone who isn't an elector, and that weight is 0.

It gives stronger votes to large states than to small states, except that states are allowed to split their votes, which obviates that complaint.

The article you're citing appears to support the point it seems like you're trying to contradict -- it describes a system where the president is given explicit authority at every stage. There are opportunities for others to dissuade him, but he has every freedom to disregard them, and they have absolutely nothing in the way of legal power to stop him.

The only check currently seems to be people disobeying his orders, and even that is accounted for to some extent (see "mutiny is unlikely" in the article you cited).

It remains possible that ranking members of the executive branch and military might cooperate to make sure the president is isolated and unable to execute the protocol, and perhaps even conceivable (if unlikely) that enough of the military would refuse to participate. But that's the only real check, and it extralegal rather than any part of the system.

If you've ever been suspicious of "the deep state", think about that for a minute here, because it's really just another catchy term for the one of a half-handful of checks on the power under discussion here.

> I think the trope stays around because people, despite what they say publicly, like the idea of an emperor style president with supreme power.

I suspect that people really want to believe the system works, it can't be that messed up, someone else thought of this, some one else is paying attention, and they want things to be better, not worse, and they will take care of it for you.

You would also get additional attack surface if you used sanitizers, because they were designed as debugging tools, not for production deployment.

Potentially. I recommend you check with your Landesdatenschutzbeauftragter, in Schleswig-Holstein, that’d be the https://www.datenschutzzentrum.de/ (you can send them E-Mail via GPG), and discuss that with them. Additionally, you might get help from the Verbraucherzentrale.
Julia's improved a lot on the issue you're mentioning, so you might want to give it a try again. I don't notice it anymore, although I used to. I do think Julia's performance, while pretty impressive, isn't quite what it's been billed as. How it compares to other systems in that regard, I don't know.

As for Matlab, I think the big turnoff for me is its closed-source nature, which is maybe a more serious problem than you're giving it credit for. I also think that things like Python, that are more general-purpose, integrate much better than Matlab into other systems (e.g., web systems--you might not think it would matter if your estimation program doesn't integrate into a web app easily, but I didn't either and now I'm very sensitive to it). This is partially due to the open-source nature of things like Python, which lends itself to competition and experimentation, but also it being a more general-purpose language (this latter point is another sticking point with Julia, although wouldn't apply to OCaml).

This OCaml library is really beautiful, actually. I looked into OCaml several years ago for this sort of thing, and if it had been around then, I might have invested more in it at the time, and kept using it. I'll have to revisit it.
True, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

That's a surprisingly positive result. Usually I expect most JavaScript libraries to be destroyed by Closure's Advanced optimizations, unless they've been written specifically with Closure in mind (which they're not).

Anyway, congrats on those features :-) Scala.js doesn't do the part where Closure is applied on JS dependencies; it's only applied to Scala.js code (though with the advantage that we never need any externs).
> This and your other comparisons are disingenuous. I'm not saying Netflix needs to write a custom app for every platform under the Sun. I'm saying they shouldn't be allowed to actively disallow platforms that would otherwise work fine if they didn't arbitrarily restrict them. That's how Youtube works for example.

It's not disingenuous though, it's the exact same problem you've described.

You cite YouTube as an alternative, but YouTube specifically has done the exact same thing you criticize Netflix for -- YouTube is also arbitrarily blocking some players from accessing it's videos (Samsung Smart TVs, LG Smart TVs, 2nd Gen Apple TV devices, and a handful of other STB devices).

These players all already exist, have had fully-working YouTube access for many years, some were even sold with the explicit promise of YouTube access on the box but YouTube has arbitrarily decided to restrict the API those platforms use, so they're dead now.

> Do you think it would be ok for (Google) to implement software to make it so their web app only worked on some browsers, wouldn't work for FreeBSD users and only provided low quality results to Linux users?

No, but that's exactly what YouTube does to a bunch of other platforms today. In fact, it's worse than Netflix. At least Netflix still sends your platform 1080p, Google just killed YouTube off entirely (no video playback at all) for a handful of platforms.

---

That's why I use them as examples, because they specifically mimic the behavior you cited. If "Netflix has a monopoly of their 4K content" and is "using it to condition another market" then every tech product is guilty of the same thing. YouTube is using their monopoly (of their videos) to condition playback devices too (to force you to dispose of working Smart TVs and buy new ones). Nintendo is using their monopoly (over their games) to condition consoles (make you buy a Wii U / Switch / 3DS). Apple is using their monopoly (over OSX and iOS apps) to condition other markets (laptops, phones and tablets). And so on.
So, abuse net neutrality to punish customers of ISPs who abuse net neutrality.

Probably legacy reasons and the type of errors you can get.

Since JS used to be "sugar on top", it wouldn't make sense to completely eliminate the page when that piece of code which makes a logo flash doesn't work right.

Also, you can have JS errors coming from loads of places. What if an extension you use has a bug in it that triggers only on certain sites because of some stupid unicode issue? What if some ad has an issue like that?

And basically, it really boils down to: we all ship buggy fucking software. Everything has some kind of a threshold for errors (or errors that blow up only under certain conditions). It's good to have some built-in fault-tolerance that prevents an all-out disaster.
There are several moving parts to this. The regulative requirements on ALL residential loans has increased to make sure the loan requester (consumer) has sufficient ability to pay back the loan. After the Great Recession, the reasons for this should be obvious. This will increase "paperwork" for all banks doing home loans. The banking industry overall had RECORD PROFITS last year. Thus, Dodd Frank (DF) is not a general bank killer.

Now, by some accounts smaller banks are more heavily impacted by DF regulations even though there are less rules for small banks. Why? Some analysts say big banks are better able to leverage "economies of scale" in DF compliance. Others say it takes time for software vendors to small banks to implement DF-related features, and that over time the burden will decrease as the software glitches are worked out so machines can do more of the grunt work. Democrat legislators agree DF should be better tuned for some issues related to small banks, but point out we don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater: bad loans hurt everybody. Due to political gridlock, some of the suggested small-bank-related changes are stuck in political molasses. You can blame both parties and voters for that.
> How is L2ARC not "true hybrid"?

It doesn't persist across import/export or reboot.

It is demand-filled.

Not all data in the main vdevs are eligible for l2arc.

There is memory overhead for l2arc buffers.

There is CPU overhead in processing l2arc headers.

Once a buffer is in l2arc it stays in l2arc until the underlying data is overwritten or destroyed, or until the l2arc has filled up and the buffer is replaced with fresher data.

A true hybrid in the zfs context would let one pin a dataset or zvol onto a particular vdev, or pin only the (zfs) metadata (or a subset thereof) of a dataset, zvol or pool to a particular vdev.

Openzfs will eventually get both persistence and this form of true hybrid.

Unfortunately automatic migration by zfs of hot data to low-latency vdevs and cool data from low-latency vdevs is not really possible without solving the infamous block-pointer-rewrite problem.
They really didn't actively think it was a good idea. They changed the discovery tab to be a web page, which as the github repo linked by the OP will show you, is now handled in the same repo (by the same people) as the AMO website proper.

It was a mistake, and not as huge of one as people are making it out to be. As they have repeatedly pointed out, their GA contract makes it essentially a non-issue, unless you believe Google is so obsessed with tracking that they will violate their contract with Mozilla.
Couldn't the drive's firmware or the driver do the same just as well (except on physical records instead of files)?
I think this project is great, but I tend to agree with others - it's going to be somewhat doomed by second-system effects and the fact that coding is a social art form. You have to get other developers to buy in to what you're doing to be successful.

So what I wonder is this: is there a migration path instead? If the goal is to ultimately work on ASTs instead of treating software as a giant string, is there a way we can make incremental transformations to languages to move in that direction.

So far what I've considered is this:

1 - Automated formatting such as gofmt which eliminates any decisions around whitespace to culture people towards treating code as data rather than prose

2 - Language-aware editors that constrain user input to valid states based on 1

3 - Plugins for version control systems to optionally do diffs on ASTs rather than plain files

4 - Compilers that can operate on ASTs instead of strings

5 - Checking in ASTs rather than strings based on 3 and 4

6 - Updating editors 2 to operate on ASTs since 5 makes it reasonable to always work on ASTs rather than text

7 - Creating new styles of code editors that visualize and manipulate ASTs in ways that are independent of their text representations

There's probably steps I'm missing. I'm only just getting in to this space so I'm ignorant of most research that has been done in this area.
Usually valuations are determined more by the investors rather than the founder. That might sound unfair, but investors have much better market comps. (Kind of like how you might think your house should be worth $X, but a real estate agent will tell you it's worth $Y, and their guess is usually better than yours.) If there are lots of investors vying to get into a round, then the founder has a lot more pricing power.

Market terms for a seed round are either 1) a priced round, or 2) a SAFE or note with a cap and a discount. 20% is a typical discount. A typical cap, in Silicon Valley, would be $4m-$5m on the lower end (idea or prototype phase, little or no market validation) up to $8m-$10m on the higher end (product is live in the market, has decent usage, and perhaps $25k-$75k MRR if you're b2b). There are also outliers that are >$10m cap -- usually those companies have exceptionally strong growth or founders.

In practice, SAFE/note discounts don't come into play that often but caps do. That is, next rounds are usually significantly higher than the cap (and the discount doesn't apply).
If two browsers both implement strictness, but have different standards or implementation bugs then you truly have made the dev's job hell.
