I loved the book, and that part has stuck through the years. (amongst other remarkable parts of this book) Now I wonder if Pennac had heard about this story and if he was inspired by it.

It always made me think of L'Arrache-Coeur by Boris Vian, where we can find "La Gloïre", this old man whose job was to literally swallow the shame of everybody else.

What total bullshit. No advance in mechanisation has ever resulted in this happening. What happens is that the workers get the days off, but it's not holidays, it's being unemployed.

I don't think bakeries or flower retail companies doing the right thing are the crux of the argument here, on HN of all places. We're talking about startups that are braving new grounds in terms of what they're able to do, mostly without a legal framework to restrain them. These companies, once they reach a certain size will eventually need to be regulated because they come to wield too much power. See AirBnB, Uber, 23&Me, Amazon, Google, etc., etc.

I believe people in academia are paid to write these books anyways

While that does occasionally happen, it's definitely not true in general. The people I know who wrote academic books did so by taking a sabbatical from their university job and/or working evenings and weekends for the actual writing. Occasionally they can apply for a separate writing grant to cover their lost salary, but that's completely separate from their day job.

Can we expect that kind of horror to fade away as Java evolves?

In the .Net world there's the ThreadPool class to manage the single process-wide thread-pool, and the Task class to enqueue and orchestrate concurrent jobs (it uses ThreadPool and almost completely abstracts away the thread management).

(You could write your own thread-pool, of course, but for most code that wouldn't make sense.)

I wouldn't call it hypocrisy, more like having to deal with the unintended consequences of your action.

He and others that have come out to publicly criticize Facebook knew what they were building, they just didn't see how powerful Facebook would eventually become in programming people en masse. The way the last election turned out was the wake up call.

Sean Parker himself admits as much in an interview with Axios:

"When Facebook was getting going, I had these people who would come up to me and they would say, 'I'm not on social media.' And I would say, 'OK. You know, you will be.' And then they would say, 'No, no, no. I value my real-life interactions. I value the moment. I value presence. I value intimacy.' And I would say, ... 'We'll get you eventually.'""I don't know if I really understood the consequences of what I was saying, because [of] the unintended consequences of a network when it grows to a billion or 2 billion people and ... it literally changes your relationship with society, with each other ... It probably interferes with productivity in weird ways. God only knows what it's doing to our children's brains."

"The thought process that went into building these applications, Facebook being the first of them, ... was all about: 'How do we consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible?'""And that means that we need to sort of give you a little dopamine hit every once in a while, because someone liked or commented on a photo or a post or whatever. And that's going to get you to contribute more content, and that's going to get you ... more likes and comments."

"It's a social-validation feedback loop ... exactly the kind of thing that a hacker like myself would come up with, because you're exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology.""The inventors, creators — it's me, it's Mark [Zuckerberg], it's Kevin Systrom on Instagram, it's all of these people — understood this consciously. And we did it anyway."

We use Mulesoft a fair bit as a proxy to our various microservices. IT can do the rate limiting and redirection as a front, whilst keeping our microservices hidden behind the DMZ.

We also use it to transform data from different services when we do integrations, especially old school SOAP ones that we don't want to support directly anymore, and have been replaced by simpler to manage and develop REST APIs. Mulesoft is pretty good for that kind of thing.

This article seems like total baloney to me. A hospital gets bombed for the 18th time and a doctor thinks it can only happen because his Skype got hacked?

(Of course, the more compelling story is that Russia bombed another hospital, but that's not the crux of this article.)

What would Paulo Coelho say (if he was a programmer)?
We still don't have personal robot (with bodies) assistants...

The vision of a having a robot assistant just shows the lack of imagination that people in the 1960s who were making these predictions. They couldn't see further than a mechanised version of what they already had. On the face of it a robot is a replacement for a physical person, but the reality is that the physical person bit is what's unnecessary. Automation of processes is largely about removing as much of the 'physical' bit as possible. What was needed was to distill the tasks down to the absolute minimum and then automate that, and that's what we've got now. We automated the physical side of posting a letter and now we have email. We automated filing by using databases instead. Scheduling meetings is now done using shared calendars.

Automation of jobs is not about making a machine that does the job of a person. It's about removing the person and building systems to replace the processes that person did.

We do have robot assistants. They just don't look like robots.

Why Public Cloud Is Best for Big Data
I disagree with the characterisation that internal engines are less cross platform because of lock-in, the big publishers don't care about lock-in. It's not part of the calculus in deciding whether to support a platform or not.

A port of a game is more than changing the low-level APIs used to control the hardware. It's the hardware of the platfrom the decides the complexity of producing the port.

Linux is a special case because it's the same hardware as a the Windows. Your market is people who want to play the game but aren't dual booting. Most of the issues with producing your port are going to come down to driver incompatibilities and the fact that every Linux system is set up a little bit differently (the reason Blizzard never released their native Linux WoW client[1]). It's not a big market and there are loads of edge cases.

For big publishers and AAA development, they're not looking to break even or make a small profit. They need to see multiples of return on their money or they aren't going to do it. Using a shim is cheap and doesn't hurt sales enough to matter to them.

It's not insane if you consider the West is doing the very same thing (committing war crimes) but Western media doesn't report in the same way about it. Just check what the Americans did in Iraq, whom they deliver their weapons in Syria to, ...

One thing I always ask myself:

The war in Syria is basically won by the regime, so why the heck would they now resort to bombing hospitals and C-weapon attacks on the population? It just doesn't make sense so that's why I am very cautious here.

This is not to say that Russia is good and the US is bad, it's just that "The first casualty of War is Truth"

You are correct based on what's written. The author implies that Facebook PR reached out to NYT -- but doesn't claim what Facebook PR wanted or how the NYT reacted. This fact (the NYT agrees that FBPR contacted them) is juxtaposed with the observation that people are mad the NYT removed this graf from the original 300-word breaking news story:

> Mr. Stamos had been a strong advocate inside the company for investigating and disclosing Russian activity on Facebook, often to the consternation of other top executives, including Sheryl Sandberg, the social network’s chief operating officer, according to the current and former employees...

This is definitely an interesting graf, but I don't (and neither do the NYT reporters, ostensibly) think that it's the key part of the story, not even of the 300-word blurb. In any case, this blurb was updated (rather, replaced) by a 1,300 article at the end of the day:

http://newsdiffs.org/diff/1652560/1652801/https%3A/www.nytim...

The critics of NYT think that the "consternation" line should not have been erased because it apparently is so directly damning of how Sandberg was resistant to deal with Russian interference. The NYT reporters have disagreed; they see the 1000+ words adding far more evidence of how Stamos tried to warn FB.

In any case, the article author is trying to associate 3 unrelated events together:

- NYT made a major update/rewrite of its article about Facebook

- People are mad that the most damning line against Sandberg (re: Russia) was watered down

- Facebook PR contacted NYT after the first version of the story/blurb was published.

The OP has a hypothesis. But no evidence to support it. "Facebook Forces NYT" is not the right headline because the author never purports to prove or claim that Facebook forced NYT to do anything.

SomeFacebookApp is requesting permission to do the following:

I can't imagine how much more explicit this could be. I don't think the argument that it's behind legalese would hold. And it seems pretty informative about what information is going to be taken.
Random note: drivers, when you are on a two-plus lane road, do not randomly stop (when their is no designated yield) to let pedestrians cross/other drivers turn. Cars in the other lanes may (probably, even) not stop, causing an accident.

It probably is completely unrelated to this event, but it’s an anti-pattern by well-meaning drivers.

Your server ecosystem is like the central nervous system of your business. Without it, the body cannot function properly. As an essential component of your business operations, your servers need a thorough backup strategy to ensure that you're protected against data loss. At the core of this strategy should be server backup software – the tool that automates the backed-up data and allows you to restore data as efficiently as possible. While all server backup software fulfills the same essential purpose – to create a restorable copy of your data – these programs often achieve this purpose in different ways. The best server backup software complements your server ecosystem.

Owning and maintaining a server ecosystem isn't just a luxury for big companies that can afford IT departments and office space for floor-to-ceiling servers. You can build your own server from an old desktop. Online Cloud Backup The components are the same – a motherboard, a processor, some memory and a hard drive. All you need is a server operating system and client software, and you can have a server for backing up all of your employees' computers or for simply hosting a website. With your own server, you are the master of your domain. You control the data. You control the costs. You control the security.

If that were so simple. What if your software gets deployed on an application server? If you upgrade, you need new support contract, this costs money plus leads to possible deployment/config changes, for instance going from JBoss 5 EAP to JBoss 6 EAP is not a pleasant experience as almost all configuration was radically changed.

What if part of your application is audited and certified by some regulatory body, when you upgrade, you need to go through the process again.

Reading your comment I just tried and also got 100%. There are more micro-pitch variations, vibrato and harmonics in the human voice; the robot voice kind of sounds the same, but on some short sounds sometimes produces a kind of monocord sound that is not only non-human, but probably impossible for a human to imitate.

It seems some people are more sensitive than others to robot-sounding or robot-looking. I have a very hard time watching modern movies because most special effects completely ruin the experience for me; but other people seem to not mind at all.

I worked for an AV vendor for years. The online hate it gets is huge and constant (mostly wrong, but some points are valid). And even though I don't like the monetization strategies for example, I believe the product itself was OK, and most importantly helpful to many.

> BTW, what is the deal with being flagged? First, other than your highlighting it, I see nothing in the UI (displayed on Win/FFox) indicating to me that I've been flagged.

HN moderation can be quite opaque. You get the opportunity to downvote first when your karma has reached a certain level. Beyond downvoting comments can be flagged. Once they're flagged enough they get marked "dead". Once they're dead, they'll still look live to the person who posted them, but not to others (you can verify by opening the site logged out/in an incognito window). This is intentional because while in some cases people are just not aware they've stepped over the line, a lot of the flagged comments are spam or abusive. There's an option (I'm not sure if that's available to everyone or if it needs a certain level of karma) on the settings page called "showdead" which will let you see flagged/dead comments. I keep it on because the volume is small enough and occasionally interesting comments gets caught up in it. The "headline" of your comment shows up like this for me:

> toss1 17 hours ago | parent | flag | vouch | favorite [flagged] [dead] | on: The NSA Worked to “Track Down” Bitcoin Users, Snow...

It's worth noting that the presence of politicized topics on HN at all is a thorny subject, and politicized articles are far more likely to be flagged (the whole article) or taken down by moderators if they're perceived to attract too much controversy, or see comments flagged repeatedly. HN tolerates a quite large range of political viewpoints, but rarely tolerates direct attacks on named individuals unless the evidence is very clear (I'm sure there are exceptions).

Get flagged too much, and you can get shadowbanned - basically everything gets marked dead but it still looks like normal to you. This is rare, and when a user seems to have been shadowbanned for no good reason the moderators do tend to be good about undoing it. You're not subject to that - it's only individual flagging.

> The point, which I probably could have made more clear at the outset, is to look at the reason behind the article's existence -- it's published to promote the RUS narrative that the western intelligence services are untrustworthy, and by extension the western governments and alliances are untrustworthy. This is a primary theme in the Russian Active Measures directed at the West.

I see this is additional unsupported conjecture, but it'd likely have stood up better to downvotes than a direct accusation against Snowden.
I agree, but I use a small improvement to the first approach: split each insert into two steps: "insert at end" and "reorder".
That way:
(a) the insert is nice and simple and
(b) you can reuse the code for re-order which you likely need anyway (and which solves the foreign key constraint issue, perhaps by doing it in a single SQL update).
