People need to stop casually invoking Hitler when making serious or semi-serious arguments or analogies. Like, I hate patent trolls and think in game payments are pretty terrible. However lets put those 2 concepts in the same neighborhood. That neighborhood is nowhere near the neighborhood of the systemic annihilation of a population in as ruthless and demeaning a fashion as Hitler did. That neighborhood, to carry the analogy, is somewhere on Elon's mars colony if patent trolls & ingame payments are in Brooklyn.
Not true. Plenty of non-technical people had a web page up like this one. Nearly all ISPs included some webspace, and enough instructions to get going. Lots of people put up something on user.demon.co.uk or geocities about themselves, their hobbies or their pets etc.

Having a web presence died off somewhat as people moved over to myspace and Livejournal then geocities and tripod started being abandoned. Then it started the rise of social, and guest books and web rings slowly became obsolete.
The issue isnt that the group is jerks (which is easy, you just stop and move on) but that they may bring down career ending social attacks on you. Unlikely with males even if superjerks.

I mean literally generates hate

Blaming Twitter is akin to covering your ears and eyes and saying there is no hate in society at large. Twitter doesn't generate hate. Its users do. Twitter isn't broken; we are.

I think that's technically true, although the stockholders don't necessary want to see "hate" as they think of it. They want to see growing engagement, and hate does engage.

Facebook had this same issue -- pissing users off with echo-chamber news articles was very engaging. But because Zuckerberg has control, he was able to make a decision to move away from those addictive feelings of rage. It's bad in the short-term for Facebook, but will be good in the long-term.

Github costs $7/mo. Is it more economical than that? Can you seriously say that you can achieve higher cross-region redundancy, for both your instances and storage, than Github can, at a price less than $7/mo?

The only way I can think of accomplishing it is to make use of GCP's free f1.micro instance, so you can spin up two of those for pretty cheap in different regions ($3.88/mo). Have DNS hosted somewhere that can resolve to each of your two instances at random ($12/year? Lets's say $1/mo). Then you have instance storage; good luck finding globally redundant block storage for practically unlimited repositories, with backups, for $2.12/mo. Let's just leave network egress charges out of it, since those would be marginal.

And let's go ahead and say I value my free time at a conservative $30/hr. It takes me an hour to set this thing up and maintain it every year; horribly conservative. That's an additional $2.50/mo.

Maybe you can do it. It isn't laughably economical.
Regarding what you said about English, Mandarin, Arabic (or Hindi might I add), it is curious to note that, in some more modern erudite circles, English and French played roles I find similar to Classical Latin and Classical Greek in the erudite circles of Renaissance Europe: to speak the first was good, to speak both was great.

In my line of work I encounter many emigrants looking for temporary jobs in agriculture. No one here speaks English very well, let alone their languages.

I was very impressed by a worker from Nepal that, besides his mother tongue, spoke Hindi, Russian and English. In Portugal, his boss didn't speak but Portuguese.

Now I see a lot of emigrants from Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

The Spanish don't speak Portuguese. We chat in Portunhol, mainly.

Esperanto would be quite handy, but I suspect it won't take off anytime soon...

> I think it's completely correct that income reflects this.

Not at all. Many (non-criminal) scammers probably make more than the two of us combined, and their value to society is most likely negative. It's actually pretty easy to come up with examples of professions that are harmful to society but still have very good incomes due to one or more of the following:

- Their societal costs are externalities
- They abuse political power to get unfairly rewarded
- They make their income by taking money in small slices from other people in a way that people don't care much (lots of payment providers/intermediaries do this) or by scamming people.

> Your statement confirms that taxes are currently completely unwanted.

I didn't comment on whether it is wanted, only on whether it is voluntary.
I don't think autocannon can be efficient against drones. You need to hit a small and fast-moving target - that's a job either for AA gun (which will need to spend a lot of ammo saturating the area around drone) or for high-powered precision laser.
Read the rest of my comment, the Linux kernel is pretty damn modular as it is. Nobody forces anybody to compile all drivers ever written built-in to be able to load them from the device tree. But if you want to do it, you can, and that's great.

If you don't you can still toggle your individual drivers and modules and compile a lightweight kernel. I think what the parent complains about is that the kernel is too dynamically flexible and that adds a certain footprint, in particular in terms of code size. That might be true but again, I think it's a good compromise.

The reason execute-in-place is not super well maintained in the modern kernel isn't because the Linux devs are javascript developpers who want to break everything and reinvent the wheel every month, it's because it's getting rarer and rarer to develop linux-enabled embedded hardware using memory-mapped NOR as main storage so the focus moved elsewhere. You might as well complain about MMU-less systems not being properly supported.

As with any other bad thing people do, our response should include compassion and understanding - but it should also include clear condemnation. Sometimes telling people bluntly that their culture and actions are wrong and unacceptable in this day and age is the productive line, e.g. the Pitcairn sexual assault trial was seen as cultural imperialism at the time, but from interviews now one gets the impression it ultimately resulted in a substantial positive change.
I'd pay to be in a room of people who think that news is a tangible item that can be placed in a laundry machine.

This is something which can be done and is easily achievable.

I have seen (and currently seeing) that to create an echo chamber a certain number of troll armies have to create it one first, trend it and then people take over from that.

Having a verified tag will really help and go long way. Sure, even the KYC process will hurt and potentially can be gamed with but having this visual cues will alert the user about the source and maybe the authenticity of the content.
In the long term I'd expect lasers to outperform bullets at intercept tasks. They certainly travel faster and have the potential to aim faster and carry a deeper reserve of ammunition. Even if this system is only an incremental step towards that goal I think it makes sense.
In the PDF documents that Playsaurus has put online, the accuser's lawyers have redacted one line, and that's in the "The lawsuit they will file if we don't pay" document at the bottom, where it says:

I was curious what was being redacted. Examining it with Acrobat Professional, I was able to discover that it says:

/s/ David W. deBruin

So it's just a signature.

Btw, I'm pretty sure that the redaction was done by accusing lawyers and not by Playsaurus because the document author is "Leslie L. Jacobs", who is one of the accuser's lawyers.

Though it's still not clear to me why the accuser has two sets of lawyers (THE deBRUIN FIRM and RUBIN AND RUDMAN). Anyone know what might be up with that?

I hate to break it to you, but this isn't exactly a revelation.
Nice! The terrain issue that you mention is the limitation of the grid resolution. For example, HRRR, the operational model used in the charts in your link, has 3 km horizontal spacing. Individual peaks and slopes are poorly resolved at that resolution.

We are already (internally) experimenting with 1 km and sub-1-km grid resolutions using HRRR as initial and boundary conditions. Creating custom forecast domains at fine resolutions is something that we are currently developing and should be ready in the next 2-3 months.

Thank you very much for your input, it's super helpful!
Lasers have vastly different external ballistics, meaning they are not impacted by wind, density altitude, and gravity as much as a bullet would be. This means they would have a greater range and accuracy.

Benefit of this, to a solider, is there is no difference in elevation between engaging a target at 20 meters out to say 700 meters. This will enable them to be far more effective in urban battle fields as they can engage targets far more quickly and effectively.

Ask HN: Team Lead title but no direct reports
Hi everyone, I got promoted to "Team Lead" lately but I don't have any direct reports. I report to my manager still who is a first line manager. I lead a team of 4 developers (my peers) and I'm basically the 5th dev in the group. I still code since I have the most experience and skills. I took on project management for our team/projects (call it scrum master) and I feed our UX team as well as working closely with our Product Manager. I am just confused about my title because I know some people who are labeled Team Lead and have a manager role with direct reports.

Shouldn't I be a Tech Lead?

Just looking at that thing hitting a non reflective target is going to melt your eyes.

Are we going to rely on traditional laser goggles that block certain frequencies? Or like fiber optic diagnostic microscopes, are we going to issue fully occlusive goggles that display a camera feed?

> NULL is the absence of a value. It has no meaning in algebra.

Null is a value in its own right. If null is added to e.g. the type of numbers, then it had better be given meaning (i.e. semantics).

> You cannot do anything mathematically with a NULL value so it always results in a NULL output

Returning null if any input is null seems reasonable, but again this is not true with SQL SUM: SUM [1, null] = 1.

> Where is the inconsistency

You seriously cannot see an inconsistency? Are you trolling?

> It seems you want the database to automatically assume 0 for NULL

Where on earth did you get that idea? You are defending the behaviour of SQL SUM, not me! I've already told you, I don't want coercions.
Leases have significant per mile fees. Your uber driver isn't staying below 15k miles a year.

You would either want a loan or a very high millage lease, both of which cost rather more.

But the interesting part is that I don't see so many of the smallest cars that would work for this, Even though while not that cheap, they are certainly cheaper than larger cars. I wonder why that is?
I've sold books in Amazon and have often wondered how people make a living selling books there. I've made a $9.00 book sale there and ended up getting about $2+ after all their charges. I wasn't thrilled but since I had no other place to sell it; It was better than nothing.

If you're a retail business you would have to get the books at a very low cost plus you would need to do it in bulk for it to be worth the effort.
Not sure why this is even a question. The morality of the latter is subjective while the former is not.

Have you seen the patent picture? They literally have a cell phone, connected to a cloud, and other computers. How the fuck is this approved by the patent office? That is literally how every transaction via cell phones occur.
The "public at large" are definitely betting that Magic Leap are another Theranos and will self-implode shortly, or just be vaporware forever.
Twitter is definitely what you make of it. I have plenty of reasonable discussions with people of very different perspectives. It is definitely harder to do that than, say, on Facebook. But there's no other platform where you can find and interact with as many voices, from the globally famous down to entirely marginalized people.

That's not to say that they don't have a problem with hate, or that they shouldn't be working much harder on it. But I disagree that it's an essential property of the platform. Humans have a very long history of people of different perspectives hating each other even in person. For example, look at the Nadir: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadir_of_American_race_relatio...

In the US, after the Civil War, we had the Reconstruction, a period of significantly increased racial harmony. Many people of goodwill worked hard to integrate America, with a lot of African-Americans moving into white towns. But within decades the tide turned, leading to a wave of anti-black ethic cleansing that left many places all white for many decades. This is extensively documented in Loewen's Sundown Towns: https://www.amazon.com/Sundown-Towns-Hidden-Dimension-Americ...

Nobody needed short messages or engagement metrics to do that.

That's pretty striking. I've always taken the Met's policy in the vein of "You don't HAVE to pay this amount but you really should" and always have. (Even though I admit to not always throwing money in when it's a more casual please donate situation.)

I'm pretty surprised that payments had dipped this low.

I'm not sure I put it in the same class as phone calls though. So many unsolicited phone calls are just random robocall SPAM that it's not as if I'm passing up some societal contribution by not answering.
Whilst Origin likely used Wing Commander II as a huge cash cow to subsidize Ultima VII - much to WC2's detriment I distinctly remember a few short years later Origin gave Wing Commander III a lot more resources. At the time (1994) the gaming press declared Wing Commander III the most ambitious and costly game ever made at $4M.

Its sequel upped the ante even further with a budget of $12M which made headlines beyond the gaming magazines and actually into the newspapers.

Both good games incidentally and well worth a play.
