The "voting ring" is an essential tool when you need to promote links from certain media orgs (most of them paywalled). How else can you ensure the front page placement for links that you are getting paid (or have an interest in) to promote.

The question is: should these deals be disclosed upfront, something along the lines of: "this is a paid submission" ?!

I was reading that part in Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman where he's participating in a panel investigating the Challenger explosion, and sticks the model o-rings in the ice water.

Quite impossible, obviously. But I can't remember a single detail of what I was really doing. Probably ignoring the television with my nose in some fantasy novel, based purely on statistics.

Kimmel's late night television show does "lie-witness news", which effectively demonstrates that ordinary people will say pretty much anything if you prompt and cue them towards what you want to hear.

The reality of monopoly and collusion is here and it’s real!

When I started my first company it was easy to access customers(30k+) via all types of cheap online marketing. But around 2012, a massive shift started happening towards “content aggregators” and a closed web. Which made marketing a lot more expensive and less effective.

The big guys have closed the web and are now taxing business for access to people's attention.

+1 for iTalki and Fluent Forever. There are so many apps out there that give you the illusion of progress (e.g. the author's "74% fluent") but with nothing to show for it. There is no way you can get around practicing speaking and listening if your end-goal is to speak and listen.

I started learning French maybe 6 months ago and have done ~20 hours of iTalki sessions. You'll sound terrible when you start, but that's okay — you're paying them to hear your terrible French/German/Spanish/etc. It's all gets better.
This argument is touted around a lot to justify censorship by private parties. Don't be misled - it is censorship. The law doesn't protect this kind of speech, which means they are legally permitted to participate in censorship, but it is censorship all the same. Yours is a common and poor argument for justifying this behavior. There are plenty of things which are both legal and immoral. I would prefer to participate in a transparently moderated community where the rules are clearly defined and aren't selectively enforced. This makes for a better community.

They don't have a legal obligation to behave this way, but that needs to stop being used as an excuse to shut down discussions on how to make the community better.

Check the comment by BrightBlueJim. I too have thought that the common description of "The Thing" was incomplete. To make it work well enough to be practical it would of required some non-linear element.

Current bug detectors explicitly detect non-linear elements. A hilarious practical joke involves adding diodes to the concrete mix for a high security facility. Back in the cold war the Russians actually did this to the Americans in Moscow.

Flash memory has three operations, read, write and erase, the last two destructively. If you pretend they are harddisks with two operations of read and write you go through all sorts of contortions. Sometimes you fall flat on the face, as seen here.

Why don't operating systems treat SSDs more flash memory, and why doesn't the file system cooperate with the underlying hardware instead of pretending it's a disk? For home use that may even work, but in a demanding environment the extra complexity will invariably fail.

This is a genuine question, I'm an amateur here.
Hi from one of MDN's writers!

So, we're aware that the examples being way at the bottom of the page are frustrating to a lot of people because of the usefulness of having a simple example you can learn from or even snag and use in your own code.

That's why we have work ongoing to not only place examples at the tops of pages, but to make the examples interactive so you can make changes to the code right on the page. There's some info about it here: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/interactive-editors-in-beta/....

Maybe? I'm honestly not convinced it would change much. In the end a list of things mods could do will always be close to "we can adjust everything and ban everyone, trust us that we'll use it responsibly".

There are things (e.g. changed titles) were I wish their specific action would be visible to avoid confusion (they often leave comments, but not always and they are easy to miss). That'd be more useful than a list entry somewhere "mods can change submission titles".

People often don't seem to know about flags and vouch, these tools for users could be better explained somewhere. (Not that it will stop those crying "moderators censoring $thing!" every time a controversial topic is flagged)
The problem is the bad stuff seems to be the norm. I wanted to use Patreon's embed code on my site. The embed loaded megabytes of JavaScript to show a button. All the button does is take you to my Patreon.

I took a screenshot, cropped it, saved it as PNG, and embedded it with a plain old image tag. 3KB vs. 3000KB, and maybe I lost some fancy auto-scaling magic the culled JavaScript did. Big deal.

This is a company that positions itself as the new way for creative people to make a living in the 21st century, and they need multiple megabytes and several seconds to load the 175x36 road into that future. We're not quite in the future yet, and 3MB is still a lot to ask of limited data plans.
I don't think there's any "there" there, w/r/t this article. All it's really saying is "some companies build infrastructure and they profit when other companies use their services". Well duh. In this regard Google or Amazon are no different from the local electric utility. Well, with the exception of that fact that there are many cloud hosting providers to choose from and there is actually some competitive pressure there, where electric providers almost always have a true monopoly.

So Snap is paying Google $400MM USD / year or whatever... OK, now ask "how much would it cost Snap to build their own datacenter(s), host and manage their own services, provide electricity, cooling, etc..." It might or might not add up to the same as they're paying Google, but it would definitely be a significant chunk of money. It's not like Google is taking their money and not providing some value in return!

The flipside of this is that services like AWS, Google Cloud etc. make it FAR, FAR easier and cheaper to spin up a new (software) business. For some of the stuff we're doing at Fogbeam, we would never even be able to start if we had to build a datacenter, buy servers, etc., etc. But we can deploy on AWS for a minimal spend during development, and then scale our use of AWS as we start to generate revenue. If/when the day comes that the economics make sense, we could look at moving to a colo center or even build a dedicated data center.

Personally, I don't begrudge Google, Amazon, etc. the money they're making. shrug

You're not supposed to be able to ensure front page placement. Your content is supposed to rise and fall based solely on its merit, as determined by (unpaid and unaffiliated) users and the moderators.
It's censorship in the same sense as Rolling Stone not running your fan-fic on the cover is censorship.
That's actually kind of grandparent's point - if your only "innovation" is managing to market to a slightly different set of users, you have no moat, and a big company with some engineer-hours to spend can duplicate what you've done for every market segment you haven't reached yet.

>This is amusing and captures our opposition to Silicon Valley rockstar/brogrammer culture

If they are saying that Silicon Valley's culture is a brogrammer culture, they are probably talking about the culture of the dominant group there. If I worked in that area, I would be part of that dominant group.

So, my question is how they would screen out "brogrammers" during an interview process. I think someone looking to filter out this group would have a strong chance of looking at me and fitting me part of it.

If it is as pervasive as they say, then it probably includes me. That is how I see it used most of the time, describing tech's overall culture. I am part of tech's culture, and I am a fit white male who programs. I assume that I am perceived as a brogrammer by many people who use the term.
Homeowners on HN are wealthier and live in more densely populated areas than the average American homeowner. Wealth directly correlates with minimum standards of upkeep. Population density correlates with volume of rules and regulation. A suburb of Portland ME and Portland OR both likely have a bylaw disallowing you to run a pig farm without some paperwork/approval.

A suburb of Portlad OR is far more likely to have a bylaw or HOA reg about grass height or some other nit picky thing than the suburb of Portland ME because the OR suburb is wealthier and wealthy people have the time to care about these things, care about what the standards should be and care about how to enforce them.

Yes, many Americans live somewhere one or more rules/laws that control what they do on/with their own residential property. The Americans who are most represented here likely have far many laws/HOA rules with which they much comply.

There's a lot of me-too software out there, and honestly I wish that developers would just be more candid about their goals.

What is this really? A state site engine with no dependencies... but is it? ...or is that just one of the things it is? If one had more plainly said "a static site engine written in Rust" then maybe it would be more compelling to at least one particular ecosystem.

I just don't understand the selling point unless you're completely candid. Hugo is; it doesn't even pretend to be something it's not. It directly sells to people who invest in Go. And Jekyll has a powerful stance as being integrated with platforms like GitHub. What's the pitch here?

You could extend this to almost any war the US has been involved in. Attacks on US soil (not counting terrorist actions) have been pretty rare.

> And what's really annoying is that HTTPS doesn't really affect user security much. It mainly just affects privacy. Most people are not hacked by a man in the middle. They're hacked by a person accessing a database, or running an authentic looking website, or exploiting a bug. So while a lot of headaches will be caused by adopting HTTPS everywhere, people won't necessarily be any safer.

Maybe I misunderstood, but it sounds like you're criticizing HTTPS for its success. People only rarely get hacked using man-in-the-middle attacks, because popular sites are already using HTTPS. If they didn't, I'm sure they would be MITM-hacked all the time.

> I as a citizen don’t want to abdicate my role in society in the decision process and suffice myself to consume.

Let me break to you the hard news: As a citizen you have basically zero influence over the research direction that the government TLAs engage in. Those decisions are made through elections which are determined by things like "who can we scare into thinking they'll cause abortions to happen across the land". If a candidate who had a proven track record of funding science wrote the Patriot act, you wouldn't vote for him, would you? (True story). It's even worse in the EU, since the commissioners are not elected. Oh and the kicker is that in the past three decades, those people who hate abortions and deny global warming have a better track record of funding science than the other tribe.

If you really want to have agency, you would be donating to a nonprofit science research organization.

Agree with all your points. For this one, some IDEs support extracting lines of code into a method/function, figuring out what's an argument and stuff like that. It's a pretty nice feature that I don't believe is in vanilla vim, but it's something I can imagine writing a vim plugin for it.
