So what denotes a reporter? What if you share with a friend who works for a newspaper? Or someone who works with a blogger.

It's a stupid rule, and imho only there to make the users feel like they are in a unique clique. There is no real way to enforce it, nor any penalities.

So basically, just PR.

The existing test is privately developed, opaque, and the responsible policy makers in the states using it, including California, can't get information on the validation from the maker. And, regardless of previous trends, which varied, every state using it saw a drop in 2017. This is all mentioned in the article.

Either there was a common national effect that dropped real outcomes, all states using the test independently made simultaneously missteps that dropped real outcomes, or the 2017 test was changed in some way which produced the downward movement.

If it weren't for the opacity, it would be easy to eliminate the last possibility.
> How would it possibly help you to tune yourself to a negative outcome on daily basis?!

Success often requires overcoming adversity. Overcoming failure and rejection.

Some will let fear of failure cripple their ability to get things done - not starting projects because they fear they'll fail, or not finishing projects because they've been discouraged by failures along the way.

Others will adopt failure as their constant companion and friend - a sign that they're attempting things difficult enough to be worth doing, things difficult enough to be educational, things that still push their boundaries. Perhaps even a positive thing in it's own right - if failure is how you learn, if constant and repeated failure to disprove is how you science, then just how negative a thing is failure, exactly? Just how negative is a fake rejection letter you signed yourself up for?

There's a place for positive reinforcement, but there's a place for conditioning as well, for those wishing to move the needle.

> Don't do a SPA. Spend your time on SQL instead :D

I wholeheartedly agree that developers learn SQL way too little and way too late (I blame ORM/AR overuse early on) but SPA/SQL are possibly the least mutually exclusive issues I can imagine.
Also, frankly, what is a reported these days? Anyone with an audience? A popular FB feed? This kind of thing is ignorant of how ...distributed "reporting" has become.

This is pretty disappointing, but more than that, pointless to try to police..
Try covering up the names of these while guessing what each is supposed to symbolize. Personally, I found some of these to be rather unintuitive and sometimes arbitrary.
Spark actually has probably the best standard SQL support among all open source big data frameworks. It can run all of TPC-DS queries without modifications.
I know in practice, Nextdoor is kind of a hangout for the worst types of HOA/worry-wort/NIMBY type. But, I kinda get this. The whole point of Nextdoor is privacy. Like, there's a type of socialization that only works based on geography (i.e. - my neighbors get to know my address, my comings and goings, my possessions - stuff that should not be shared widely). If the privacy thing is blown up, then there goes the last actual "social" network.

Also, what kind of journalist is going through Nextdoor looking for stories? That's like the laziest, most pedantic muckraking possible. Can you find no one to get a quote from?
One of the reasons - probably one of the biggest reasons - for continuously lower test scores in America is the quality of the care these children receive.

Over 40% of children in the US are born to unwed mothers, compared to 5% at the beginning of last century. About 70% of unwed childbirth is by black mothers, versus just 24% in 1965. The last two peaks of teenage pregnancy were 1991 and 2007 -
so the children of teens have more children, whom are now 10 years old, with 26yr old parents, and whose grandparents are about 42yrs, with great grandparents about 70 years old.

The financial and social strain on such families is intense. It's also difficult to be the best parent you can be when you yourself are still not an adult. And it virtually guarantees poverty for these children. There is almost no reasonable assistance given to the families of these children - assistance like food, shelter, access to education, daycare, transportation.

Kids are getting left behind not by their school system, but a social system that has ignored them as part of a lower class of society that we'd rather starve and struggle than give assistance to.

If you don't believe this, go into a [public] school in Philly, Baltimore, New York, and ask about the grade level of reading comprehension of the kids, what their family life is like, and their economic status. You will see a trend in all three: "poor."

There are also local newspapers. I do understand Nextdoor's motivation here, but it does seem a little odd. Journalists typically get stories by talking to people, and local journalists by talking to local people. Nextdoor is a specific avenue to do exactly that. And half the complaints on Nextdoor are things the author would probably love to have featured in the news (though hopefully they won't be, no-one needs to encourage the NIMBYs), and might be ones that would benefit from a reporter investigating them.

This breaks the HN guidelines, which ask you to avoid snark and flamebait. This was both. That's bad. Please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and don't post like this again.

Edit: it sounds like you have a rare perspective to share, and you're more than welcome to share it here. But you need to follow the rules like everyone else. Our idea here is to try to hold a container for interesting discussion. It's forever fragile, and snark and flamebait have the effect on interestingness that salt has on a slug.

A nice additional effect of posting civilly and substantively is that then your perspective will more likely be truly received.
This is timely for our community in Topanga, CA (between Malibu and Santa Monica). We've got an ongoing issue with an Internet provider where about 10% of packets are dropped. Nextdoor became a rallying point for hundreds of customers who have been dealing with 'slow web pages' for months. Nextdoor is at its best in these moments!

But, we need to be sharing what people are saying with the press as one of our next steps. I noticed this problem with ND so we started blogging about the issues separately and quoting folks without identifying details in Medium, so that the press could quote Medium instead of Nextdoor.

>How did Soviets (councils) work or supposed to work?

A soviet is supposed to be an elected legislative assembly, like a senate or parliament. The true soviets died with the Bolshevik coup, when Lenin declared them unnecessary now that his party was in charge. A military coup was what set up a dictatorship, and that is hardly unique to communism.
Just to clarify as a non-user: there's an online status, and a 'last seen' data point, and both can be queried by any user for any user given their telephone number, as often as the querying party likes? And the online status is when the app is open on the phone?

This is an interesting conundrum. On the one hand, I hate the idea of sites like FB using my posts as content for their marketing, but on the other hand, having NextDoor restrict who can see my content is also upsetting.

I might even say that NextDoor's restriction on my content is more upsetting because I expect everything I post on social media (which I do on purpose) to be part of the public domain. The idea that I, or reporters, can't use it as such, makes it seem like they are exercising ownership over my content.
Depending on which state you live in access to high CBD is restricted. I believe CO and WA allow high CBD, OR only allows low CBD at this time. Not sure about other states.
Journalism has always been hard – most of the things worth reporting on don't welcome the reporters in with open arms, all the time.

That having been said, it seems that as more local community interaction becomes digital and starts to fall within walled-gardens, many things, including reporting get a bit trickier.

Thus far, we have no legal concept around the notion of a public digital space, if there is such a thing, and what privacy rights do, or explicitly do not exist.

I'd argue that things like NextDoor might push us into having to think about the concept of just what is/could be viewed as having a reasonable expectation for privacy.

I can't expect that my speech or even image is private if I go outside on the public street, for example... so for sites like NextDoor, is there a threshold where they become so dominant or so a part of our daily lives/community interaction where we should start to see them as public spaces with certain expectations around rights (or lack thereof)? When it's small, the private club idea fits well – but if it becomes dominant and essential to community life – do we need to rethink that idea?
It's not a metric for the students though, it's for the school. If you average it among all students, you get a reasonable metric for the how the school is doing. Of course, this would likely fail if you applied it to arts schools...

Anyway, it wasn't a completely serious suggestion. It's got some problems. Happiness is a good thing to measure, but you'd want to still do some long term tracking of other metrics. Incarceration rates, income, college graduation rates, higher degrees and certifications, etc.

edit: I make the comment about arts schools having received a degree in film and taken a haphazard path into startups and programming that ultimately worked out pretty well. I absolutely encourage people to go to school for the arts if that's what you want to be doing.
> It didn't keep her from STEM, she's an MD.

That's not out of the norm; roughly half of medical students are women: https://www.aamc.org/data/facts/

The "shortage of women in STEM" mostly refers to engineering and computer science.
I think the court would have to thread the needle on whether:

(1) the function of the site is like a private club whose secrets are vital to its continued existence,

(1a) the language in the ToS supports (1)

(2) the private news items shared there are in the public interest and likely not reported on otherwise (at least the ones that were disclosed publicly).

No one likes chilled speech but there's plenty of examples of legitimate agreements for non-disclosure. Those agreements provide mutual benefit and could be threatened by a ruling in favor of a claimant against NextDoor.

I think the global reach is the problem here: kind of like how phonebooks, public records intended for the interest of the local population get scraped and sold to ad businesses and credit bureaus.

I'm pretty sure that some of the content posted to Nextdoor could be of public interest, and it would make sense that a local newspaper or TV station may wish to report on it, just as they may report on the minutes of city council meetings or organized events.

I think the issue here is when you combine a local newspaper with the global reach of the Internet, and something that was meant for a small audience is now being shared way outside of its original target audience. I sure hope people don't go posting the minutia of my local neighborhood to BuzzFeed or reddit.

Regardless, this is just for show. This sort of policy isn't going to make any difference. We've seen these sorts of scraping issues in the past with other walled gardens: site owners make a big deal about scraping, shut down their APIs, etc. It hasn't stopped content from being scraped and reported on. Reporters will continue to report; users will continue to make anonymous story tips; and new accounts will sign up after old accounts get locked out.
So if the poster doesn't own their posts, does NextDoor? Are they legally responsible for what the poster has said?

This will be interesting.
I like "Architecture of a Database System"
by Stonebraker, Hamilton,

Granted these are a little old (especially G&R) so extra thought must be given for modern hardware (memory, CPU performance, processor counts, network, disks, etc) as well as distributed processing, replication, and consensus.
>don't report on posts

Make me.
The Internet is a public network. Regardless of any particular site's PR or stated purpose, people need to learn that anything you post to the Internet is public because it's effectively public. The site may say it's private, have terms and conditions that try to pretend it's private, or it might have "privacy controls" that let you/them try to gate access to the content. But once it's posted, the cat is out of the bag, and the content is one scraper or security breach away from being public. Treat it as such.
Yeah, on the one hand anything you write, say, or do in public (or even a semi-public forum or a broad company mailing list) is subject to posting on news sites, YouTube, blogs, etc. No privacy. Get over it.

On the other hand, I'm not sure that it's actually a good thing to just throw up our hands and say that there's simply no such thing as expectation of privacy and, if it's that important to you, just keep your mouth shut.

The npm ecosystem is fundamentally insecure. Some highlights:

* I obtained accounts of 4 users from the top-20 list.

* One of those 4 users set their password back to the leaked one shortly after it was reset.

* 13 users [that I found the password for] had more than 50 million downloads/month.

* One of the users directly controlling more than 20 million downloads/month chose to improve their previously revoked leaked password by adding a ! to it at the end.

* While Skovoroda discovered credentials that granted him direct publish access to only 13% of npm packages, through dependencies, an attacker would have been able to spread his malicious code to about 52% of the entire npm ecosystem.

There is no bandaid to fix this structural issue.

Simply filter all email to a non-plus address to spam, and then only give out random oh_sigh+aslkdfjslkdjf@gmail.com addresses. Now, if a spammer strips it off, they just get put directly into your spam box. Where stupid regexes don't like the plus, you have the . allowance for gmail, where foobar@gmail, f.oobar@, f.o.obar@, foob.a.r@, etc all get routed to the first address. gmail lets you have up to 30 character user names, so you can encode 2^28 = ~268M unique emails into that. But those sites are very rare.

I happen to be a vim user. tmux, vim, vim-tmux-navigator, and some comfortable configurations in .vimrc and .tmux.conf can be a force multiplier for one's workflow. If you like vim, then it makes a lot of sense. If you don't, there's still probably some merit, but, maybe less of an incentive.
