Then the question remains. What was the point? I would also agreed that many of these comments aren't constructive but I'm actually trying to distill the message.
Can anybody find the year for this?
This seemed like the best choice in name and yet I wonder if they'll draw the same ire from the community as they did when choosing Kit Kat.

Honestly I like it; it was better than basically all the other alternatives.
Assuming that computer science books are banned because they could be used for getting access to unauthorized systems within the prison, they should also ban books on plumbing because a wrench could be used to hit somebody, or books on math as well because what if a prisoner finds a way to create a quantum tunnel outside of the prison just with some simple equations?

I'm consistently surprised by how idiotic our prison system in the US is. It seems to have two mantras: "the more the merrier" and "punish, not correct." I guess that's what happens when you have something as dumbfoundingly stupid as private prisons.
>That said, it's their service and their rules. Don't host data you care about on free services run by capricious multinationals.

I 100% agree. Their service, their rules.

However, these platforms have carved out special rules for themselves on the basis of neutrality - look at the DMCA Safe Harbor provision. They've portrayed themselves as neutral platforms that accommodate everyone who can follow the terms of service. However, they seem to either apply the TOS more rigorously to some groups than others - that's completely antithetical to the idea of a neutrality.

In addition to saying "their service their rules" we should say "their service, their accountability". Strip them of the immunity they enjoy as platform providers and hold them accountable for all the content on their platforms - they curate the content, obviously everything that isn't banned or under review is content they support.

Also, through the disparate impact standards this probably merits some equal accommodation scrutiny. I don't have all the information in front of me, but it looks like Google's censorship for American users seems to catch more socially conservative users than socially liberal users - that probably has a desperate impact across a few protected classes (age and religion come to mind).

Now, I'm not saying that Google is guilty of refusing service to some protected classes. But I think their behavior merits some investigation to make sure that they're fulfilling their equal accommodation obligations like other American corporations.
I haven't used Gmail for probably 5 years and have just used an iCloud account for mail. Why would I need Gmail that would make it so hard to change what email you use? Is it just getting a new address and exporting contacts or are there some features I missing?
Someone please explain how to search for exact phrases on Bing like you can with quotation marks on Google. I've seen some claim that quotation marks work the same way on Bing, but it isn't true.
An accidental shutdown can still fall under overzealous use of power.
Agreed. I grew up in the Walnut Creek/Alamo/Danville corridor, and this article feels way off the mark.

> Heading north from Fremont is basically sadness. Hayward, Oakland, San Leandro, Richmond, Vallejo. They’re all poverty stricken and broken.

If you're driving along the freeway looking out the window, I could see how you might think this. Surprise - people that have any amount of money don't want to live within hearing distance of a freeway. Most of the spaces slightly further away are fine. I have friends in the Oakland Hills along 13; perfectly respectable area. Those friends have parents out near Richmond - lots of typical older middle class housing from the 50s.

> The only green zones I see out in that area are maybe in Dublin, Pleasanton, Moraga, etc., but I honestly don’t know much about those areas because I seldom get out there.

I do get out there, and most of Alameda county away from the edge of the bay is comfortably upper-middle class (Dublin/Pleasanton/Fremont/Livermore; Hayward/Castro Valley/San Leandro feel more middle class with upper-middle surroundings + urban gentrification starting to take hold). I have friends out in Stockton; they have a comfortably middle-class house, as do their parents (though on the whole I've seen less of Stockton than I have of the Bay).

I could go on (grandparents in Orinda, an uncle in Fremont, friends scattered through SF, SJ, etc.) but my main point is that most of the Bay is suburbs on suburbs, most of them are at least middle class, and our ridiculous zoning/prop 13/NIMBY problems trap people wherever they are and discourage new construction, which contributes to the crappy old look of a lot of places.
I see good reason in it. Most people get to prison because they are either mentally unstable, or because they are sociopaths. It won't do any good if we give the latter such a powerful tool. These people will get out someday...

Crime is counter-intuitive (a lot of crime is done without any visible reason, good or bad), maybe much in the way like startups are counter-intuitive. So many things people experienced in law enforcement do may sound weird or stupid while most of the time, it isn't.
Interesting! I would love to see more detailed stats on the universities of accepted YC applicants.

* What proportion are from international universities (i.e., not the US)?

* What percentage of founders graduated from top 10 universities? Top 100?

* How many founders are PhD holders? How about MS? MBA?
The existence of alternatives does not negate a monopoly argument. Netscape, Opera, and other browsers existed when Microsoft was slapped down for IE. Google captures somewhere around 60% of the email market share - a dominant position from which they need to be careful about what actions they take.

As noted in response to a sibling comment, the presence of alternative providers has proven to not to be a reliable remedy for some opinions.

No, they are not currently regulated utilities. However, I believe that if they aren't careful, they may find themselves forced into that role.
Ask HN: Returning to an office environment after a 2 year hiatus?
I'm a software developer who's been through a couple jobs. The most recent one was 100% remote work. Aside from semi-yearly informal meetings with my boss, there was no on-site interaction.

Due to circumstances out of my control I wasn't able to keep the job after 2 years with them, and that was followed by an unplanned 2 year hiatus from any regular jobs. I want to get back to a normal office job, which is where I'm trying to figure things out.

Most places reject me after a phone interview, so it may be that my interviewing skills have decayed. I usually know how I screwed up on the technical parts, but I'm not really good at figuring out what I did wrong on the soft skills. How do I get back into the groove and make it shown that I can work with others in an office setting again?
A non-generic brand name for their O-release? Did they strike a deal with Nabisco/Cadbury? I can't imagine Google doing this without some form of legal go-ahead from the trademark owner.
It's not OK to harass unpleasant people.
Then don't work from home?

I've got a flexible work schedule, "working from home" can mean many things for me:

-Work from home in the morning, then stop in the office in the afternoon (my commute is short).

-Work from a coffee shop, beach, etc.

-Meet up friends for the day while we do parallel-work.

-Head out of town for a 3-4 day weekend and work remotely for a couple days without having to use any vacation.

Also worth noting, my co-workers with kids get even more value out of this flexibility than me!
As another salty house-hunter looking around Hayward for the last couple months, you have my sympathies.
Jordan Peterson, the "Canadian psychology professor" you mention, agree or disagree with him, clearly has political motivations and is explicitly politically active. He's an entirely different case from this.
This type of behavior + AMP has pushed me off google completely.

I'm determined to cut them out of my technical life entirely, I've even switched myself and everyone I know/support off their DNS.

I can't support their shady practices anymore.
> Android Oreo helps minimize background activity in the apps you use least, it's the super power you can't even see.

I'm looking forward to this. It seemed to me in the switch from iOS to Android that the battery life definitely suffered. I wish the Samsung Galaxy's "ultra power saver mode" was available in more devices. The "battery saver mode" in my current Android phone is decent but doesn't seem as effective.

> Integrated printing support

> Compatible with all Mopria-certified printers, which make up 97% of printers sold worldwide.

Gee, I've never heard of "Mopria" but this sounds interesting.
Prison should try to rehabilitate the individuals as in teach them payable skills. At least this way they will have a chance to reintegrate in society when they finish their sentence.
I would also say in some cases, it's because their arguments are based on things people don't like to acknowledge.

"I require my workers to be in the office because if I don't constantly ride them, they will be on Facebook/Reddit/etc. all the time instead of working.

This is due to hiring second-string developers that I can pay less than self-motivated superstars.

I have consciously made this decision because I can extract more useful work for less money out of a larger team of underpaid developers than I can from a happy, higher-paid, but much smaller team."

Obviously this business model depends on the market, product, etc. but regardless of all of that, NO one in this scenario consciously wants to confront this, because it just makes everyone feel depressed.
Agreed. Crossing the boundary between the real world and the sanitized, virtual world takes a ton of effort.
The awful scroll hijacking implementation on this page really distracts from the content.
So other libraries can't be sued because there are no patents to be infringed?

And it doesn't matter that FB terminates the patent grant if you sue them, because there were no patents to start with?
My $130 lenovo Chromebook runs everything such as Cloud 9 IDE on the web except Facebook, that doesn't work.
Even though they'll use the dev set to tune hyperparameters, they'll end up making a "is this a good model for the paper" decision based on the test set. So, e.g., they'll try different architectures, tune hyperparameters on the dev set, then decide whether to use that architecture by looking at the test set. So that's part of it. AKA "gradient descent via grad student"

The other part is, as you say, relatively constrained data sets.

Of course. Would be interesting to know what the exact quid pro quo is for deals like this though (who pays whom, and how much, etc.).
Or maybe they don't have an alternative to earn a decent living and would quit crime if they could find a good job? I don't know that I wouldn't sell drugs if my alternative was flipping burgers at McDonald's for $1000 a month.
The whole article sounded like "Oh, my god, you don't have a brand new Tesla parked in the driveway of your beautiful single-family home in the middle of Palo Alto? I'm so sorry for how poor you are!! No high end bookstores and artisanal coffee shops? My word, how dreadful!" In reality, most of the places he described as "red zone" are far, far better than a great deal of the rest of the country. Go visit some run-down Rust Belt cities and tell me you still think San Jose is dilapidated.
They did the same thing wit KitKat.
This is for an empty program. Serious Java programs (especially those that pull in a lot of libraries) can easily take >1s to start up. Running jruby on an empty file takes 1.4s wall clock time and nearly 4s of CPU time for me. Time to compile a hello-world program with Kotlin is 1.9s wall clock time and over 4s CPU time. It's worse with Scala.

If I want to write code that (say) is run dozens of times during a large build process, that's not really acceptable. The JVM is a poor fit for the Unix model in particular, which tend to use lots of small processes with a single purpose that work together.

Yes, there are workarounds (been there, done that), but the larger point is that the JVM and its ecosystem are primarily targeted at fairly heavy-weight and long-lived server processes that have obvious implementation biases along these lines.

The slow startup time is just one symptom of these implementation biases, and the question is not whether you can work around these problems, but why you should bother in the first place if the JVM is a poor fit for your application domain.
"accidental" launched a nuclear bomb...
You're missing the point entirely; even if it was accidental, would you have access to your accounts? Would your email be a reliable way to reach you or verify your ownership of another account? Would people able to access the content you've posted?

The answer is quite obviously "no," and that doesn't cut it for people need rely on services like these for their everyday workflow. We wouldn't consider "accidental" AWS downtime acceptable, so why will we accept it from Google?
Introducing Android 8.0 Oreo
That seems like a miss if the goal is to report on proportional representation (as it does for genders) and not just the raw data.
This is a problem with any app store to some extent, even Apple's.

The difference here is that Microsoft seems to be encouraging low quality apps to boost its "app count" numbers to make its store seem more attractive. Also, many legitimate services do not have an app for Windows so users get tricked into installing fake apps or end up resorting to privacy.
They licensed KitKat as well. Yes, it was an official deal - They even had android themed/branded KitKats that they gave out at launch events.
This is a joke, right? Or perhaps you are not familiar with the American prison industrial complex? Here[1] are some data from 20 years ago. Intuition and my recent reading suggest it's gotten even worse. Read up on the Corrections Corporation of America, at the very least.

Your characterizations are completely unsupported by modern sociological research.

It looks very nice. Would love to know what led you to create this and how you are going to grow it.

P.S. I was working on something similar since last two days. I used prism.js & Ace editor to create a Bootstrap 4 playground for my own blog (example: https://codegim.com/embed/a3EZQmXj)
"Why would someone go to the effort of creating counterfeit memory chips that couldn't possibly work? The 74LS189 is a fairly obscure part, so I wouldn't have expected counterfeiting it to be worth the effort. The chips sell for about a dollar on eBay, so there's not a huge profit opportunity. "

This sounds obscure. Small/Tiny mark up. Small market. High fake detection rate. I wonder if there is something about the story that we miss.
Nice, what we really need is more criminally minded folks with the knowledge to commit digital crimes. Splendid idea.
> The existence of alternatives does not negate a monopoly argument.

It's suggestive evidence. But no actual “monopoly argument” has been made to negate.

> Netscape, Opera, and other browsers existed when Microsoft was slapped down for IE.

Sure, but IE wasn't the monopoly they got slapped down for, it was the thing they got slapped down for trying to drive with their PC operating system monopoly. So the existence and market strength f competing browsers isn't even related to the market in which the monopoly at issue existed.
> Microsoft intentionally don't fight against those apps very strongly to help their store to succeed

Do you think their store is succeeding? It seems like a giant failure to me.
Why We Should Send All Our Politicians to Space
The problem with ZH is, once people know the story, they can predict the narrative. That's a pretty clear indicator of bias.

Admittedly, in this case it was rather cut-and-dry.
The Pentagon isn't buying chips. The defense contractor working for the Pentagon is buying the chips and either testing in-house or subcontracting that out. Almost everything is going to be legit stuff. Fakes are only really going to show up in legacy design hardware that isn't being updated with stuff that's in stock at reputable vendors. So the only option is to find second-hand sources for that stuff because the contract wasn't to redesign the hardware, only to build it. Or it's coming from hardware that was bought in the US but manufactured in China by someone else and a manager over there decided to sub in some really cheap chips instead of the legit ones because they still work the same but might not be as rugged or maybe that guy was fooled too by a shady vendor. Maybe the vendor thought they were real too and was fooled by the chip manufacturer. You can always point the finger upstream. Good companies check up on their vendors and test their parts. Bad companies let themselves get fooled and suffer fines and bad reputation.

The chosen quote doesn't indicate whether or not it's deterministic.
Why do you feel the need to put quotes around Peterson's title?
No doubt Peterson makes a lot of political videos, but he never said or did anything remotely deserving of having his channel shut down. I mean, just as an example, you can find a lot of blatant Holocaust denial and Nazi propaganda channels that are active and have been active for years.
Yeah I tried scrolling down to see if it had any information regarding how or when this update would be released to their own phones and the scroll was just all over the place.

I really wish everyone would stop hijacking scrolling.
I find the Steve Souders' books [1] "High Performance Web Sites" and "Even Faster Web Sites" methods are still fairly practical, not all of it applicable to JS directly, but still.

In the end, you'll need to test your changes in the most common browsers that affect you, because each browser's JS engine can vary a lot. The lookup cost you mention can be deceptively expensive, especially if you have anything resembling a deeper inheritance tree, or worse, proxies, getters/setters etc.

In the end, a lot of it doesn't matter, until it does.

Apache Maven Assembly Plugin Version 3.2.0 Released
Even after installing the DateTime plugin for it, it's not tersifying for me. I'm not sure if it's me using it incorrectly, or if it's not working for some other reason[1].

That said, I see promise with this. I use Data::Dump with a custom handler to make dumping of DateTime and specific DBIC subclass objects much more palatable based on whether the current item being recursed's ISA. e.g. 'sprintf "%s [%s]", $_[1], $_[1]->time_zone->name' for DateTime objects.

Having that abstracted away into a module with plugins would simplify that quite a bit.

1: Non-working tersification: # perl -E 'use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; use Data::Tersify qw(tersify); use Data::Tersify::Plugin::DateTime; use DateTime; my $dt = DateTime->now; say "### RAW ###"; say $dt; say "\n\n### DUMPER ###"; say Dumper($dt); say "\n\n### TERSIFIED ###"; say Dumper(tersify($dt));'

> recompile the same javascript paths over and over

The person you are replying to's point is that they aren't the same paths, when you take into account the other code and data in the rest of the application, which effects how the code even in the shared libraries is compiled.
I think this is fascinating, but your case would be a lot stronger if you provided some sources.
I dunno about that -- for it to be intentional fraud, it would require the seller to know something. He probably knows next to nothing about electronics and just looked prices up in a catalog for a bunch of inventory he got really cheap somewhere.

Have you ever seen the show "Storage Wars"? It's really dumb, but basically people go bid on abandoned storage lockers. I assume everything on that show gets sold on eBay. The people on the show are not exactly the best and brightest...

I recall a lot of commentary on this site (especially around cloud flare) that the "worst" need to be banned and lot of skepticism about a "slippery slope" - can't speak to the content of this particular case but seems pretty far from the worst of the worst.
Apache Traffic Server 6.2.2 is released
Yup, I got that. But couldn't a bit of text be loaded instantly instead?

Is the time the spinners run determined by the time the server needs to deliver the data? Would they go away when you put the site behind a CDN that delivers the data faster?

Probably more likely that someone found themselves with a bunch of warehoused touch tone dialer chips (essentially worthless now), and decided to label them as something else -- anything else -- to be able to salvage at least a few bucks out of it.

Either that or a plain old mistake. The new guy loaded the wrong data into the printer.
Ebay does not care about counterfeit items. I bought $300 fake Bose and they did nothing about it. I had the persons address and everything and they were in a neighbouring city to me.
That all criminals have a low reading level/intelligence is a classist(?) argument which supports systemic prejudice against criminals, increases recidivism, and limits their paths for redemption.
How is that relevant to the story of whether or not it's appropriate for Google, or indeed any large service provider (Cloudflare), to take their account offline?

This is a non-problem when you use a binary object, which can be represented/manipulated in all kind of ways. It would even be possible to expose the configuration in an arbitrarily format on a mount-point in the filesystem using FUSE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace
