I kind of agree and disagree. Yes we might be thinking of two different things. But I think it's not about the URL, but about the content. There's plenty YouTube videos that are intelligent, with intelligent responses to it.

But that was kind of my point; by looking at the way a response to a piece of content is written, you can judge its merit somewhat accurately.

For example, on a video about the way the Suicide Squad movie was edited, you might see:

- "BRILLIANT 100% agree!"

- "While I think you're right, there might be a couple of things you missed out on [...]"

- "FU M8 DA MOVIE WAS AWESUM!!!1@2"

Each of these comments tells you something different. And yes, some say more about the audience than the content ;)

That comment section looks terrible. For one thing- the fact you even needed to tell us how to find them? Second, what's innovative there? I can't even collapse threads.

Thank you for expressing this. Our usual news providers are mostly biased.

What I'd love is to see a tool that allows you to see fact from opinion and the ability to see multiple perspectives.

In Australia there's a government run TV channel that have programs that attempt this. Good journalism is hard to find though.

As technologists we've built this system that optimises for page views. Surely we're capable of building a system that optimises for the truth instead.

Why do you think that the distinction between 1:1 and 1:many matters?

I see no reason why 1:many platforms shouldn't have the same protections as a 1:1 platform.
Well said. I've found this to be the case for me personally as well. It also reinforces for me that honest reflection can lead to better understanding (of others and how one comes across) and better communication. You've also underscored how productive communication is more than just laying out facts or correcting mistakes. How one does so strongly affects its effectiveness. And I generally feel happier as a result. In turn, writing when feeling happier results in better comments. A virtuous circle.

There are times when I feel I've done my best and the thread doesn't seem to be progressing well. When that happens I take even more time to see whether there's any way I could have approached it better, and restrain myself from having to put in the last word. Effective communication does take effort on the part of both parties. If I feel I've done my best and conclude it's not working, setting it aside is often better than persisting and possibly making the discussion worse.
Quick calls and messages by Siri without taking my gloves off on the lift. Nice.
There is knowledge and there are skills. An app can provide knowledge, but only training and practice can provide skills.

Skills may, to a limited extent, be substituted by something that guides decision making. Like that chatbot that helps people file small claims against Equifax. But that works best with well documented stable situations, and can be brittle in more fluid (no pun intended) ones.

As well, when it comes to definitive local resources like phone numbers, web sites, you have to keep checking them and updating them. And if information is changing rapidly or uncertain, this may be extremely difficult.

I am a generally thoughtful individual, but I really see the benefit of a domain expert in planning any app or tool for this purpose.
> Every OS manufacturer has tried its hand at "convergence" across desktops and mobile. Apple seems no different. I'm not sure why, but OS vendors seem drawn to the concept like moths to a flame, and it's always a mess.

That is an interesting observation. Off the top of my head I can think of: MS, BeOS, MacOS, and Ubuntu.

Original author here, thanks for sharing it. Will update the post to add it to the list of good tools.
The ambiguity is that facebook and youtube can't be sued for hosting illegal content. They are not responsible for user created content.

Yet, even though they have many of the legal protections of being a pseudo common carrier, they have none of the obligations, such as the obligation to treat all content equally.

For example, it is illegal for your phone provider to eaves drop on your conversations and censor your phone conversations.

But it is NOT illegal for facebook to do the same thing. Why are they treated differently?
This is the sort of thing AI could do trivially.
All of this just to avoid creating a Git connector?!
> It's very valid criticism. I was hoping that with the move to Qi for wireless, Apple would also move to USB-C for wired charging.

I imagine they're hoping to get rid of the charging port altogether, so don't see the point of changing now. I would prefer one standard also though. That said, I imagine this is some time off, given Qi's charging speeds.
The cynical side of me thinks that a society with no control over (certain) information is one which is more vulnerable to control by bad actors. We have more of a filtering problem than an access problem at the moment - there's too much information to support all beliefs so people are more likely to become entrenched in whatever they do believe.
I've never heard that quote used in that context before. That's interesting. I've always ascribed it to something closer to Kuhn's paradigm shifts.

1) you don't, but the iphone secure enclave is not what he's talking about. He means fingerprints on the glass.

2) google "touchid hack" there's videos on YouTube.

3) not super likely as usually you'll only find rough partials, but as previous poster mentioned, there has been government hacks that have leaked biometric data.
Why not use knex migrations then? I've used it on several projects and it seems to work just fine
This seems similar to the iPhone prior to iOS 5. Prior to iOS 5 you needed a computer to activate the phone. Only with the introduction of iOS 5 could you activate an iPhone without a computer.

My guess is the ability to have an Apple Watch as a standalone device is at least another year away, possible another 2 to 3.
I'm not sure this is the time or place, but what is it that you're calling hate speech and how is it 'highly destructive?'

What prevents the user from selecting a different video and who is the arbiter of 'what makes sense and what doesn't?'

I suppose those can be rhetorical questions, if you want. To be clear, I suspect I hold very extreme views on the concept of free speech, at least from your perspective. Lest you read too much into that, the speech I'm defending sometimes comes from people who would harm me simply by virtue of my not being white.

In this case, the lady is a journalist. Her reporting included extremist videos. You're saying YouTube is not the place to share investigative journalism because it's highly destructive hate speech.
Have you read this?

It works well as a command line tool, so not even restricted to JVM languages.

One strong point of Flyway, besides being "just SQL", is the repeatable migrations, you can update your stored procedures, views and table documentation in the same version controlled source files without making a new copy in a new migration file for each change.
Your co-workers sound pretty cool. That is a different Clojure plugin than what I tried before in VSCode. I'll definitely check it out.
> You were prescribing me an avenue of pursuing happiness when you said property rights were required.

Not at all. I'm not telling anybody how to be happy. But I observe that most (nearly all) people need property rights to pursue the sorts of happiness they want.

Even buddhists need property rights. After all, where would they get their temple from? Who would pay to maintain it? Who would feed them? Etc.

Your right to cross other peoples' property is a property right, too.
admin/admin is jokingly terrible, but i can find sympathy: its probably lazyness that got it there. But storing plain text passwords on a data-sensitive site? Or plaint text passwords at ANY point.

That's true but they don't usually happen to apple's. Apple takes great pride for their flawless presentations.
This unfortunately doesn't work well in a "first past the post" voting system, as a more general party will typically overpower a split opposition.
That explains why I've recently been seeing so many crap ads all over reddit. Guess it's time to re-enable my adblocker over there.
Your whole industry is a cancer that should be abolished along with the cute lingo. It's driven by invasion of privacy/mass spying, responsible for the propagation of malware, and at its best invades the public's consciousness against their will and without their consent to drive materialism, another cancer on society. "Ad tech" is nearly the ultimate corruption of the gift of digital technology.
Take a look at the map in the original article. The areas covered in either blue slashes or blue hatches (i.e. left and right slashes intersecting), which is most of the US, has "Don" = "Dawn". There's also the "on" line, so for those who distinguish "Don" and "Dawn", some Americans pronounce "on" as if it was "awn".

For me "tonic" has a fairly short vowel in the first syllable. Whereas "Tawnic" would have a longer vowel. There's also a different in sound. You might hear my "aw" as if it was a long "o" sound. The Australian vowel system is really nothing like the American vowel system.
I use Sequelize. I write migrations in Javascript using Promise chains. It does take some trial and error to figure out how to add join columns or create the join table so Sequelize knows how to work with it.
Right: when americans mention that SSN should not be used as a secret, I have to remind myself that it actually is. DNI's are as good as public, it really doesnt matter.

C++ has libclang, which is "most of a compiler" and pretty good, so if you can plug libclang into your editor, which most editors like emacs can do, then it's pretty close to an IDE.
> Several times he references the Stevens/Haidt results, but doesn't seem to acknowledge this finding from Stevens/Haidt (https://heterodoxacademy.org/2017/08/10/the-google-memo-what...):

Excellent citation. I think it overreaches a little in attributing the position that women don't perform as well as men at software engineering, ie. they label many claims red which people have attributed to Damore, but he didn't make those claims; I believe Damore said the exact opposite actually, that women absolutely can perform at the same level, but that women simply aren't interested in CS careers. Your cite covers this in the conclusions, so it's pretty fair overall.

As your citation explains, in societies with greater gender equality, women have so many other choice of careers that CS just isn't an attractive option. Perhaps it's not attractive for reasons that can be changed, but those reasons should be investigated, not simply assumed to be driven by sexism.
> You've also underscored how productive communication is more than just laying out facts or correcting mistakes. How one does so strongly affects its effectiveness.

If someone can't understand a simple list of facts unless it's couched in ... literature-course fluff, I suppose it could be called? ... then that's their problem and they're accomplishing precious little by foisting it onto everyone else.

> And I generally feel happier as a result. In turn, writing when feeling happier results in better comments. A virtuous circle.

Interesting. I find that happiness tends to dull my wit, make me less observant, etc. While it's not unusual for me to recall a long-past conversation (from any medium) and suddenly formulate a much better response at some particular junction ... feeling happy or contented tends to increase the probability that a current conversation will result in this sort of after-the-fact second-guessing.
>>Status symbol, you don't know I'm a "loser" making $150 a month, but you know that I have an iPhone.

Coming from such a country(India). Its also treated as a sign of recklessness.

Heck its the same in US too. Remember that politician who chided people for having money for a $1000 iPhone every year but no money to buy insurance?
Another happy Fastmail customer here. Push email on iOS/Mac, CalDAV and CardDAV to access calendar and contacts from anything, and I even host my little crappy website on their servers. I've never had deliverability problems and their spam filtering is (so far) sufficient.
Perhaps I was too flippant. Point being, the “public availability/replicability” of the biometric would seem correlated to the point on the username->password continuum.

This will probably matter less once our future devices can interact with our sci-fi personal nanites, or rfid implants in the meantime.
I’d like to read more about the promise error handling thing, I’ve heard him/joyent mention that being a defect of promises but it’s not totally clear to me.

I can also second the node async library not being amazing to work with. Before version 2.0 of the library, some of the functions (filter, detect, every) wouldn’t propagate errors.
Welcome to HN After Dark...
I have had the same experience with my Fitbits. I've owned many different models and they've been replaced many times while still in the warranty period. I have to give it to Fitbit for their excellent customer service but seriously, if I never have to send in my kaputt Fitbit during an RMA process, it's pretty obvious that they must cost peanuts to manufacture.
Unfortunately I can't find any archives of Apple's website advertising TouchID when it first came out, but as I remember it was touted as "revolutionary, most secure way to protect your phone", etc. Below[1] is the keynote from 2013 when it was announced. At one point the speaker says "Your fingerprint is one of the best passwords in the world." He also says stuff like "this is the most advanced technology ever in an iPhone", refers to TouchID as "very high level of security", etc.

The FaceID marketing is the same. The iPhone X advertisement released today[2] says "your face is now your secure password". The website says "Face ID is so secure you can use it with Apple Pay". During the keynote today they actually even said up until FaceID, TouchID "was the gold standard". About FaceID they said "FaceID is the future of how we will unlock smartphones".

You'll note that nowhere in any of it's materials or even in the deep recesses of it's website does Apple acknowledge that even though Face/TouchID is great, it's still not as good as a strong passcode. The closest they come is during the key note they acknowledge "nothing is perfect, not even biometric", but you'll notice that even this statement subtly tries to imply that biometrics is the highest security available ("not even biometrics").

Another x-plat CLI option is Piggy - https://github.com/datalust/piggy - a side-project still early days of development, but may be interesting for the lack of (e.g. JVM) dependencies. It's a self-contained binary for Win/Mac/Linux.

DbUp, upon which Piggy is based, is a popular option in the .NET space: https://dbup.github.io/.

HPV Test Alone OK for Cervical Cancer Screening Over 30: Expert Panel
Citizen Command Center – got things/need things
I'm very new to the publisher side of media buying - my feeling after reading OP's post was this was the case. We currently run AdX on our highly categorically sorted site (with no smarts to it) - are you saying then it would be better ROI for us to build out ad serving based on behaviour rather than category? (Category would be much easier for us, I imagine this is just a case of sending the category to Doubleclick.)
We aim to enter command & control information for regions IN ADVANCE of a disaster, AND immediately following, so as to help relief groups hit the ground running, and to help survivors immediately locate services and supplies in the event of a disaster in their region. This command & control information might be as simple as entering the name and cell phone for groups that are prepared to be first responders in a region. Or if a region's disaster community chooses, it can mean entering a list of disaster response units and/or facilities that are on "standby" for disaster response activity. There are many disaster response "command and control" systems in use by VOADs and EMA organizations. We hope to compliment what these established systems offer and we hope to offer unaffiliated groups a method for tracking their own needs and resources.

This online, public tool aims to serve both survivors of personal tragedy (fire, flood, poverty, etc) as well as groups of people affected by, or responding to disasters. The tool aims to serve case managers in helping their clients find resources, and it aims to help people working and surviving IN a disaster zone.

Hm. I wanted to edit, turns out I can't.

I was mistaken, the comment section is provided by: https://www.getcivil.com/

Their innovation labs have more to do with redesigning their end-user services and making them accessible. Anyway I'm not their salesman, I work for a competitor. I just have heard a talk from the head of their lab in the springtime and it was great. They're at least trying things on, whereas media (at least in my experience so far) has been largely resistant.

Trust me, try pitching, or carrying out at a manager's request, a project that changes the working, production, and content delivery paradigms of media and media-design veterans at the pinnacle of their careers; they do not like it.

The fact that the Globe, NYT, and WaPo are active in trying new things is great.

Again if you doubt me, try managing 20+ WordPress multi-sites, each with differing and undocumented theme build processes, and every little component another undocumented patchworked plugin -- all because most of the group doesn't want to have to relearn something they figured was solved enough in 2005.

Innovation like these things in media is well overdue in so many of the processes up to the front end.

Further, the link above is a beta. At least they are trying on different comment systems that aren't Disqus or the 'same old thing'.

It's also why physical pentesting is a scam.

Like you say, people can get caught and you're screwed if you're not working for a pentesting company.

You have to travel to the target which is an expensive PITA. You need to know the culture (in company and in country). Then to top it off you are in the countries jurisdiction, in person. Look what happened to Aaron Swartz (Which might be more an inside job, his father did work for MIT so he might have had some inside information)

Most intelligent people won't do it. It also involves a skill set quit different to computer hacking and most social engineering.

Just a quick plug for one of my favorite periodicals, the Journal of Articles in Support of the Null Hypothesis: http://www.jasnh.com/ .

If you're worried about the "file drawer problem" JASNH might help you feel a little better about the future.

Naively one would think that the scientific method -- "guess that X does Y, try it, see whether it worked" -- depends as much on people telling each other what DIDN'T work as what DID. Yet many journals will refuse to publish negative results (perhaps aside from attempts to replicate significant results).

JASNH takes the opposite publication bias and gives a refreshing view into what stuff people are doing that takes up real research effort, seems to be real work, but didn't show an effect.

I have no illusions that JASNH is, like, a super impactful journal -- it's online-only and accepts a weird mix of disciplines -- but it's nice to see that people are trying to do the right thing.
For those who aren't aware, civil asset forfeiture is a process by which law enforcement, local, state or federal, could claim a particular item, amount of cash, vehicle, piece of real estate, on the basis of a suspicion that it was involved in criminal activity, and then sell or use that item, even if the individuals suspected of criminal activity were never charged, much less convicted.

Further, since this was a civil matter, there was no right to an attorney, and it is often more costly to seek recompense, return or reimbursement then to simply let the matter go. As well, some individuals have had their child custody threatened as a way to get them to agree to give up items, though to be clear, they don't have to agree, cash or whatever can just be taken.

There is a perverse incentive in that the law enforcement department often was the recipient of the item or some of the proceeds of the sale of the item, and there have been numerous cases of provably innocent people getting stuff taken without ever being charged for a crime.

By and large I think people's desire for raw data has grown from a mistrust of the News stemming from the move away from reporting towards commentary and hidden agenda.

Once upon a Time you could mostly trust the news but these days we have "no spin zones" which are in fact entirely spin. You can no longer sit back and consume news, to get the real facts requires a great deal of effort and attention which is exhausting.
What makes HN comments great that other comments systems don't have?

It's the guidelines. By writing guidelines that promote useful discourse you allow everyone involved to learn more about their own biases and shortcomings.

Every person that writes their opinion grows when reading the varied responses (as long as they're open to other people's perspectives).
