Additionally, it is a tremendous help to reduce sexual assault and accidental pregnancy.

A fair portion of teenage guys are frightening enough, but the last thing that we need is a bunch of confused horny teens with no safe outlet to explore sexuality. Sure, there is some strange and downright awful stuff out there, but I can only imagine the increase in assaults and pregnancies this form of online control can cause.

Additionally, it reinforces the idea that bodies are inherently sexual in nature and seeing consenting, nude adults should be viewed as "taboo" or "extraordinary."
You'd think Facebook's algorithms would prioritize your spouse, but you could use friend lists to make it do what you seem to want. You can add people to your "close friends" list and you'll get notified whenever they post. Also tends to put their posts in your feed more from what I can tell (based on the minimal amount that I use FB these days).

English is a terrible language sometimes because its semantically quite confusing.

"say" could mean "enunciate the sounds" (the whale is doing that) or could mean "speak, with intent and purpose and understanding of the words behind it"

I'm glad the headline posted here says 'get' because I don't think 'make' or 'teach' are the words you'd use.

If the Orca had been able to do this in the wild, I'd be more impressed. it would imply motivation to engage which I think is absent in a hand reared, tank reared beast.

The issue is that they're using their position as an advertising near-monopoly to choke out competitors' ability to advertise their products. The particular mechanism[1] is not the issue; using it to deprive competitors of the ability to advertise at reasonable prices is the issue.

Imagine you're a car salesyard in a small town. You don't want your competitors to be able to advertise, so you buy the company that publishes the only newspaper in town. You don't want to be accused of being out-and-out anticompetitive, so you still let your rivals advertise, but you charge them $500 per car advertised. Is this OK?

[1] Although this particular mechanism seems pretty dubious and may even qualify as "shill bidding", which is forbidden at other auction venues such as eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/seller-Shill-bidding.htm...

owning your own pub is cool, but most of us don't bother because you really don't need one to use the system. Well, you don't need _your own_.

There's active work going on to improve the support for private groups.

if you do want to set up a pub i'd recommend ssb-pub. It's trivial to get up and running (but is command line only). easy-ssb-pub provides a web UI that your friends could request invites from but it needs some TLC right now.

Anonymity and bots are an interesting problem. As users become more anonymous, by creating interest-specific accounts, changing their posting behavior, and use proxies, they converge on the behavior of bots trying to masquerade as humans.

Total anonymity means total freedom of speech and total lack of trust in speech.

Facebook needs to find it's balance between anonymity that increases activity while eliminating trust, and strong trusted identities that limit activity based on social pressures.

Interesting you should mention facial recognition, because that is what I turned the technology into - or reverted it back into. My 'digital double' creation for automated actor replacement involves neural net trained 3D reconstruction of faces. It originally came from pose correction for facial recognition. Being an animation/VFX, guy I licensed the 3D reconstruction tech from an FR company.

After my startup efforts failed, the FR company hired me because I'd done the largest scale use of their technology at the time. Now I create mesh network appliances of their tech, combined with my production tech from my feature animation days, to create apps for dynamic FR security perimeters. The interesting thing is, the frame processing I do could easily be fed into a 'deep fake' system to produce crazy fake media pretty much automatically. We track faces frame to frame and project a 3D polygon mesh matching their facial expression. Need more?
Early Smalltalk and Lisp systems were those langs all the way down. Using emacs with Common Lisp or using Pharo Smalltalk can give you a feel for this, but not exactly the same thing as a Symbolics lisp machine or the Xerox Alto. Alan Kay has a presentation where he shows the entire OS, word processor, networking stuff, IDE, paint programs...etc was an insanely small amount of code and everything was user configurable. I really wish that had caught on more. I really enjoy Linux (although it ain't perfect). Using Windows and trying to interactively do anything with the OS is an exercise in pain and frustration. If someone could build a modern machine with an OS that is like that and had a few basic apps (web browser...etc), I would be quite happy.
STEM benefits from maths. Maths is something which crosses over a line where rote-like learning at young age, supervised by the parent (acquisition of basic facts, application of basic techniques) leads to higher analytical skills later on (you can understand what a hypersine is because you don't have to worry about the underlying process steps to make one)

Tiger mums may not be able to cure cancer directly. But if culturally acquired re-inforcement of basic skills in maths and music in young children has any benefit, its going to be in maths and school achievement, which leads to entrance scores at university for STEM subjects and higher degree outcomes which leads to income, which reinforces the cycle.

its not racial. its cultural. the headline could be 'the non-problem with confucianism and being good at science' because respect for elders underpins the tiger mum outcome: you have to do what you're told.

rote learning. you heard it here first. (well.. no but really for the age 6-12, its huge.)

I got tired of seeing seemingly hundreds of, "Your friends reacted to this ad page 5 months ago" or "Here's another advertisement disguised as a page you might be interested in." I realized after I implemented these that I see maybe 2 or 3 new posts a day from my 500 friends, and of these posts the majority of them are political in nature and don't interest me. The only reason I still continue to use FB is for the messenger app as I still think it's the most convenient compared to other platforms.

Here's what my feed looks like with the rules implemented (they aren't FULLY currently up to date either because FB continually updates the phrases, but good enough for me). I also hid a lot of the junk on the sidebar with the element picker. I have no interest in using FB as a platform for buying and selling and the "News Ticker" (if you can call it "News") is just tabloid garbage. I have 4 posts in the past day before I get the "There are no more posts to show right now" message.

It works just fine with medium to large online forums, given they have a good and motivated moderator team. Just not for global online forums like FB.
If you follow the instructions in the Getting Started Guide [1] it will not be "an empty town". That would be a pretty crappy getting-started experience.

Just connect to a pub and you'll find tons of content.

I would also recommend AGAINST ever doing `rm -rf ~/.ssb` as one commenter suggested. That will wipe out your keys, and thus your identity, and you'll never be able to post anything as that identity again (unless you backed up your secret file or connected it to another identity (advanced usage)).

By figuring out a list of priorities and balancing the benefits of different strategies in terms of those priorities?
For 1, my configuration of zsh solves the problem and avoids surprises by marking pasted shell code and letting me review it before running it, even if there are several lines. This is great for just pasting stuff from the internet and adapt as I wish without having to retype the entire thing or use an editor. I think this is a default behavior in oh-my-zsh.

Actually, my zsh config mostly behaves like fish with great completion, syntax coloring and sensible history handling, with zsh syntax which is close to bash. So I can copy paste stuff from the internet and reuse my knowledge from the time I used bash because it was the default, and still leverage the improvements brought by zsh.

I don't understand 2.

For 3, of course you should understand what you run, but I don't want my tools to get in the way. My tools should allow me to do what I want, not prevent me from doing something for technical reasons. This is a question of education.
If people want to run something without understanding it, I bet they will type it blindly, if they can't copy paste it. They will just be slower at running things blindly, leading them to a disaster just a bit slower. Please let me not lose my time even more when I cause disasters.

(Yes, true, retyping stuff forces your more to think about it, but I already review the things I paste into my shell)

Introducing Fabulous Bot – Turing Slack into an Operating System
As an experienced hobbyist game developer, I find Unity to be an incomprehensible airplane cockpit of bad UI.

For the kind of game presented in the article, Gamemaker Studio would be more reasonable. Unity has a lot you don't need, which obscures the path to making something simpler like this.

I'm sure there are other good options too. I think there's a JS-based platformer-oriented engine out there.

They exist in other countries too. I don't know if there is any crossover when it comes to the content though.
"Retarded" was actually coined as a neutral replacement for "stupid", which started off neutral but had grown in colloquial use to the point of becoming an insult. And today you are not supposed to use "retarded" as a neutral term of art referring to cognitive development; "intellectual disability", "mentally challenged", "developmental delays", etc. are the new preferred terms.

I understand your points and your frustration, but regarding point 1. you can't reasonably wait for the system to change in your region (especially with the current administration) (btw I don't know how feasible - but have you considered moving to a more friendly place?), for 2. probably many here on hn can be better discerning, for 3. if someone decides to help, he does it to increase your chances of success and without expecting any guarantee, that would be silly.
Regarding the "teaching how to fish", maybe you could tell something more on what your inclinations and abilities are (if any, but almost everybody has some abilities in a form or another). This way maybe someone here finds a good match for some remote work suitable to you.
Just get started with something simple and gradually increase / add complexity. Nowadays there are really great engines that pave your way. Do make good use of them. Any of them will teach you about the game loop, gfx, control, sound, ai etc subsystems that needs to work together to deliver an experience for your players.
Also do read about game design. I personally liked Jessie Schell's Art of game design book with the 100 lenses that helps younalong the way.
> This just isn't something you think about if you were using a more traditionally hosted git repository hosted on a trusted developer's server (or someone they trust, etc).

You don't until github accidentally rolls back your content, which they have done.

Unlike the github scenario, particularly popular content will have more than 1 node relaying it so you can form a consensus. It's also the case that only 1 value can be at consensus in the GHT at any given time, so the proper content node is verifiable from many content sources.

Now, do the clients DO this? No. They don't.

But in general this is so far down the list of IPNS concerns as to read odd. They have bigger fixes to make besides concerns about highly visible attacks like this.
What do you mean by declined?

Most of the french speaking african countries (and some others) don't even own their own currency[1]. The way they can spend "their" money is dicated by guidelines set by the french Department of the Treasury.

Ask HN: Second Month Trying to Get Coinbase Support
I have not had to wait 5 mo like the last person I saw post [1] about coinbase support but I don’t want to wait that long either. Im working on 2 months with nothing but empty promises and being asked for my patience and understanding. I’m currently locked out of my account. Any advice for proper escalation with coinbase support? I did notify the CFPB and have called and emailed coinbase support multiple times. What is the wait time people are waiting for account lockout issues? Is 5 mo really their backlog?

"you still have the last-mile problem walking to/from the dock"

If you have to walk the last mile, how can this bike scheme be 'still the best'?

This is unfathomable to me given that in Beijing, where I live, Mobike and Ofo are primarily used for short journeys, and many of those start/end at a subway station. i.e. these bikes are primarily used for last-mile/first-mile.

Oh, and not sure about how they operate in London, but in Beijing both Mobike and Ofo have moving bikes around in vans as a key part of their operating model.
If we assume investors are omniscient, there is somewhere between a 3% and 11% chance Amazon Health will commoditize the market. Weigh those numbers a bit upward if you think Amazon can't do it instantaneously.

You’ll be surprised by how many bases are unknown, or that their current status is unknown as the activity level changes all the time and most armies have “temporary” and permanent bases and unless were talking about FOBs in a war zone the temporary part refers more to when and how well they are manned rather than the temporary nature of the base infrastructure.

Units shift bases all the time for various reason from simple rotation to specific operational needs.

This is a huge leak since it provides you a source for both collaborating intelligence you already have and gaining new intelligence.

Names of individual people might not be nearly as important especially for other nation states but through this data not only that the location is revealed but also the level of activity and through the personal information what is more valuable as far as intelligence goes who is deployed and here we aren’t talking about individuals but rather units.

This is huge, the level of activity in the base increases? Likely an influx of personnel which means that you’ve shifted your operational envelope to this area.

2 new support units and a SAR airwing we’re deployed to a base? Looks like some special operation is cooking.

Looks like a lot of army nerds are being deployed to this base might be setting up a SIGINT operation....

Heck the activity level alone is invaluable since it provide you with a signal which allows you to direct other sources of intelligence collection to a base that might otherwise would not have been noticed.

I can tell you that during specific operations when we would work out of hours or there would’ve be an increase in personnel an order would go out that would prohibit people from parking their car overnight and other controls would be set in place so no unusual activity that can be easily remotely picked up would be noticed.

On a non state actor level this as things like on the level of AQAP for example then the routines that can be gathered from the activity are more important, you know when people get up when they run and hitting a large group of soldiers on their morning run might be a juicy target.
Geeze, I had the EXACT same issue. I almost NEVER see stuff from my wife (even after I marked her stuff as something I want to see). I always see friends that I never interact with and their events that they're going to or all of the meme pages my friends like. But my wife's stuff? Not very much.

I hate using Facebook. The only reason I haven't removed my account is because it's the only way to keep up with certain friends and family. I feel like I am forced to use it simply because there isn't anything better for them to broadcast on.
In a documentary I saw on white nationalists, I was struck by the fact that they said they hated Jews and Muslims the most. They "didn't have so much of a problem" with blacks, just "didn't much care for them," and had a similarly ambiguously negative attitude toward hispanics. The thing that jumped out at me is that in the small town these folks lived in they'd probably never met a Jew or a Muslim, while there were plenty of blacks and hispanics around. Their hatred was strongest for people they'd seldom if ever met in real life.
Earth's magnetic poles may be getting ready to flip
There's not much workflow to it. Unfortunately I don't use the watch for much other than two very useful functions: 1) getting bumped when there's an incoming notification, or getting a hard to ignore vibration when I have an incoming call; 2) using the "find my phone" feature, which is super convenient compared to logging on to icloud.com, and makes your phone play a ping sound even if it's otherwise silent.

Sometimes I have to turn on sound on the phone for things like Waze or for playing videos or music. But the ringer stays off (due to settings).

The connection with the iPhone and Mac seems fine. However, with my watch (1st generation) a couple of updates ago the lost phone ping feature got a new unwelcome degree of latency. It can now take up to 30 seconds for the phone to ping, where it used to be immediate. I don't know if this is the case for newer models. Nor could I say whether the problem is on the watch side, or the phone side (doesn't matter, I guess). But at least it still works.
