My interactions with teenagers makes me wonder though if Snapchat actually has a reach into that market. Right now their reach is providing a tool that teenagers enjoy, mostly because things disappear and their parents don't see it. As soon as they start to attempt to leverage that reach in anyway that seems obvious, or if that reach infringes on the core experience, I'll bet they're on to the next thing and we're left with something else that was once valuable "because of the users!"

It’s probably worth thinking about this as I grow, because it would be nice to diversify in a year or two.

As for personality, it’s kind of a mix, but I think a purchaser could overcome it. It’s helpful that the site be run by me, but probably not integral.

It relies on testimony under a penalty of perjury that is rarely enforced and little way of proving, with witnesses that do not fear a supernatural extrajudicial force.

Testimony is masqueraded as truth, or at least final.

The issue isn't really the one-sided-ness of the comments, or the volume of the comments. The issue is the quality of the comments.

Even on a hot-button topic, there are quality comments made, by both sides. Those are worth reading, no matter which side you take on the issue. And then there are the "You're so stupid, how could you think something so idiotic, I hope you die in a fire" comments. Those comments don't add much except noise. If you want the quality comments to be visible among the noise, you need to weed out the noise comments. You need this more on hot-button topics, because they attract more noise comments.

You got it. I'm finishing up a contract for one such firm that loves to use Wordpress for everything when 9/10 of their sites could be better served by static HTML pages and better CSS. But no, that's soooooo last decade, so the users get a Wordpress/Sass can of worms that requires entire LAMP and Node.js stacks to operate properly.

I was thinking about rebuilding my portfolio site in a "responsive framework", but decided against it when I realized I can achieve the same effect with static HTML and separate CSS files for each page.

Part of what you wrote elicited a deep sigh on my behalf. Transferring power from owners to workers is not literally communism, at all. Transfers of power happen all the time when new legislation is passed to create worker protection laws or to weaken them. By your definition, OSHA would be labeled as communism since it transferred a certain amount power within a business to the workers by given them an increased amount of rights while working for an employer. And, to be sure, I've heard management also label OSHA as communist, but it's not.

Look, as you mentioned, there are many different kinds of workplace organizational structures. Corporations with a board are one, employee run companies are another, and cooperatives are yet another. However, the government does have a hand in and does set rules for what structures are allowed. That was part of the contention between VW and the state of Tennessee about the works council. It didn't appear to be allowed under law, so they tried to back walk one through a union, which ultimately failed. In my opinion, that back walking should have never been necessary and the structure should have been allowed.

That's a long way to say that we as a society do have a role in deciding what organizational structures are and are not allowed for businesses. We already do it, but the tone tends to be that a traditional corporate structure is the pinnacle and anything else that transfers power to workers is communist. That, again, is not true and we should be having a more honest and candid conversation about these structures and the kind of society that we want.
I'm not sure about that. An address makes no promises (technically speaking) about what you will find at that address.

You can give an object some metadata like "current address", but that's different from saying the address alone identifies the object.
CSIS likes very much to not be in the news. They seem to actively work to stay unknown. I've heard, but cannot verify, that they are the only government agency that is not required to have a "Government of Canada dept X" sign outside their buildings. They do have them outside some buildings, but not all buildings.

Yeah, but to be honest, that's true of the vast majority of companies, tech or non.
All hosting providers are under attack from criminal cryptocurrency miners. They sign up with stolen credit card numbers, mine cryptocurrency, and profit. The hosting provider gets a chargeback from the credit card company and lose a lot of money. So they try to defend against this with fraud detection heuristics. Unfortunately, these sometimes throw false positives, especially for non-US addresses and shared IP addresses.

And you long for the day when it's your particular brand of racism and sexism that wins?

Seriously, can you stop with the "white men are all racist and sexist and are priveleged so my racism and sexism towards them doesn't count", please.

Do you not think your sort of attitude contributes heavily; that is, some people shouldn't be allowed to comment because of their race/sex.
I hesitate to comment, but I think the notion that the Fed has caused cheap money is a fallacious narrative that's easy to parrot but hard to explain.

The plain truth is that inflation is low. And inflation has been consistently low for years.

Sure, the Fed rapidly expanded the base money supply from 2008 to 2014. But the reason they expanded the money supply is that demand for dollars (a safe asset) had skyrocketed. Increasing the supply of money was done to match rising demand for money, in order to keep prices stable. Without that new money, we would have faced deflation (see Japan and Europe) and probably even lower interest rates (again, see Japan and Europe).

Monetary policy and monetary theory are complicated. You can argue that inflation is mismeasured somehow. You can argue that people are irrational. You can argue that an increasing money supply will have disparate impacts on industries (e.g., affecting VCs differently than the aggregate economy). But all of these arguments are complicated, subtle, and second-order. It's not enough to say that a rising money supply causes cheap money which causes increased investment. By itself, the logic doesn't hold.

One example would be is that you might work for a company and have their point of view expressed on HN all the time; meanwhile you want to have your own account personal one that regardless if you continue working for said company or not, you still continue to use. Sort of like TV anchors have their own private twitter hints and then they have their work ones too.

I wasn't even advocating public transportation necessarily - just pointing out that Lyft doesn't qualify as public transportation.

But, since you're bringing it up, I'll point out that glibly referring to the Second Ave line as a "political handout" is reductive. The Second Ave project is[0] a disaster for a whole lot of reasons, not just "political handouts", and it's also not at all representative of public transportation either in NYC or in general.

Facebook's content policies are best understood as "don't rock the boat". It operates on reports, ML and hired minders with more backlog than time for context.

Their Amero-centric policies on nudity should be seen as prima facie evidence of that. They don't even want to bury NSFW behind a Twitter-style "click here if not at work" button, they scrub it from the platform.

There is no room for context and exceptions. They always err on the side of removal until you can convince someone with a well-paying job at facebook that not only was the removal arguable, but an on-the-face embarrassment for facebook to have removed.

The block-based content is an idea that has been around for a long time and is embodied in several CMS's. Concrete5 has them baked into its core, ExpressionEngine and Craft CMS have the "Matrix" fields, Wagtail has "Streamfields" (as another commenter mentioned), most of the hosted CMS's now have it (Weebly, Squarespace, etc), some of the flat-file CMS's and static site generators have it (Kirby and Lektor off the top of my head), and even Wordpress has had it for a while via the amazing "Advanced Custom Fields" and "Flexible Content Fields" plugins. (And wordpress is about to get a lot more block-y with their new "Gutenberg" editing interface, although it still spits out one big chunk of HTML which means you don't get the front-end markup advantages that you do with a true block-based system).

* Concrete5: http://www.concrete5.org/

* Craft: https://craftcms.com/features/matrix

* Wagtail: https://wagtail.io/features/streamfield/

* Kirby Builder: https://github.com/TimOetting/kirby-builder

* Lektor Flow Blocks: https://www.getlektor.com/docs/models/flow/

* ACF/FCF: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/add-ons/flexible-conten...

* Wordpress Gutenberg: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/

As a developer, there are 2 advantages I've found to the block-based approach:

1) The editing interface can be custom-tailored to the content and the non-technical users who are editing the site via a GUI interface can be more "guided" through the data. E.g. a photo gallery can have repeating list of slides and each slide has separate image + caption fields. This is hard to do with a single WYSIWYG editor (Worpdress uses "shortcodes", for example, but those are a terrible UI for most non-technical users... the whole point of a GUI is to not have to use code)

2) The front-end HTML+CSS markup can more easily be customized around the content fields. Using the image gallery as an example again... since each photo + caption of a slide is a discreet content field, I can insert that into any photo gallery markup I want. If the input data is itself HTML (as it would be from a WYSIWYG editor), I don't have that ability (unless I parse the HTML I guess, but that is terribly brittle and making a ton of assumptions about the generated HTML that will probably change depending on WYSIWYG widget version, where the content was pasted in from, etc).

Why is this trait desirable vs. teaching self reliance?

Philosophically I personally dont see why the obligation should be on the children to support the parents. The parents choose to have children not the other way around.

I love my parents but do not feel any requirement by them to care for them. They have saved for retirement just as I am. If people choose to not save then their poverty in their older years is a problem they brought upon themselves.

Not just cheap money. The surveillance regime requires platform operators that are idologically aligned. Facebook and Google are the poster children. This 2ns wave is 'estabilishing' the transport platforms.

The beauty of this scheme is that the quasi fascist entities are "private" and thus not subjects to laws governing "public" platforms: "it's a private company and they can refuse service to whomever they want."

Cutting down our per head footprint is nice and laudable, but it's really just a minor tweak to the "O" in an exponential "Big Oh".

I suspect that crispinb deems something much more paradigmatic necessary than just a bit of reprorization in economic policies and everybody using less plastic bags. Some paradigm shifts are so big that it is very difficult to even think about them loudly without getting universally shunned.

What if, for example, you are convinced that for long term planetary survival (on a level that can support the human species), individualistic basic human rights will have to occasionally take a second place? That's what tyranny is made of, but that's also what desperate measures are made of. You won't win any popularity contests with that...
That works - Many thanks
Isn't this going a little overboard?

I remember when OOP came up, some people made functions illegal. So instead of

s = sinx(x)

the OOP way was

m = new Math()
s = m.sin(x)

And instead of switch statements you had to derive a new class for each case call a virtual function. Very "OOP" but it led to the OOP equivalent of spaghetti code.

Are the functional guys also starting to leave the real world for the sake of being "pure"?

That you apparently think there's a "utility function" in play in bombing civilians suggests to me there is no meaningful possibility of dialogue here. Between that and your position that taxes which are used to support the least fortunate among us are "theft" (but not the taxes used to buy bombs — meaning that it's how they're used, not whether they're collected at all, that you take issue with), I can only conclude that other people are somehow "lesser" in your worldview. I so utterly can't relate to that, that we may as well be speaking different languages.

What's the current state of GPU passthrough on VirtualBox?

Currently I dual boot between Windows (games) and Linux (everything else). I would love to just single-boot into Linux as a host and then have a Windows VM for games that need it. But that's only practical if the VM has full access to the GPU, and last I heard GPU passthrough on VirtualBox was kind of hit or miss.

Open-sourcing RacerD: Fast static race detection at scale
It really has become a massive problem. I have a very short commute, and I regularly see traffic delays due to people reading their phones rather than paying attention to driving. I've even seen folks miss their entire light (with angry drivers behind them!) because they were reading. At least the stuff I see is mostly folks stopped, rather than moving.

I don't think laws & punishments will work — they're after-the-fact, and I don't think people rationally consider the possible costs when they perform an action. I think the answer has to be, as the article suggests, changing the culture.
That statement is a little hyperbolic, but at a very simplistic level, here's kind of, sort of, how -

Fed keeps the interest rate low. That means low borrowing costs for those that can borrow, but also lower yields on debt instruments. Doing so keeps money in equity markets where VCs obviously play, because the risk-adjusted returns are favorable to investing in debt. At the same time, it's doubtful that the sorts of businesses that VCs back could raise debt funding at reasonable rates (they're not borrowing at the Fed overnight rate, nor do they have any real assets to collateralize the debt), so VCs come in and buy equity instead.

If there's some path to which the Fed is printing money and directly washing it through VCs, I'd love to hear how that works. To me it's just more of a market dynamic with low interest rates (which the Fed drives).
