If that worked, there would be no outrage about this because everyone who would be unhappy would have already not used it, so there would be no 'reveal' and no scandal happening.

Since people didn't know, and are shocked and annoyed, it follows that people weren't able (for whatever reason) to make the decision in advance.

Is more government not the solution to every problem? It's like a legal wikipedia of all the behaviours people have found to abuse each other in society, all gathered in one place and applied to everyone. Sounds good.

The rationale was that their own ethnic group deserved to prosper at the expense of others. The idea that germany might be in danger of running out of food via population growth was not present. If by "reminiscent" you mean "has something to do with population" then sure, it's reminiscent.
Yeah which is bullshit. He may not have been paid to make Bash but you can definitely make the argument that there is an ethical responsibility not to foist shit software on the world.

I mean you can't totally avoid Bash today, and that has a cost to society (because it's so shit) which he at least has some responsibility for.

Of course if he doesn't want to work on it and fix things that is fine. But I don't think he is responsibility-free.

Look at it another way - if I build a dangerous bridge over a river, and someone dies crossing it can I say "well you were free to walk around the river"? Of course I can, but that ignores the fact that I made the bridge available to other people, expecting them to use it and importantly it put other people off making a safe bridge. I am in some way responsible even though I only provided something for free that nobody had to use.

Its also about action seeding, for later events. With each strike like this some people leave and its likely they are early(ish) adopters, and also likely that they are opinionated ones (just my theory). So their leaving reduces the quality of the network, for the bulk of passive users. And I know (anecdotally) few passive users. People who just read and never do any comments or likes. So the value of the network goes down for them. And they may then spend lesser time. Or may have lesser satisfaction. So network effects brought it to where it is, and they also work very well in the other direction.

On the other thread on HN today, on WhatsApp founder, I wonder if they wouldn't have sold to Facebook (of all the players), what would have been the social media landscape be like today?

I am just hoping, like I am sure many others on HN, that this event finally seeds an open social network, which works like emails do.
Performance wise, Go is generally in the same "league" as Java. If Cassandra was rewritten in Go, it would not have the same issues, but it would have some new different issues.
In EU all sorts of EULAs are invalid almost by definition and have proven time and time again that they don't stand up in court. Terms of any contract have to be reasonable - if your mortgage has a clause that says "the bank can terminate your mortgage for displaying flower pots on the north side of the building" that would 100% not stand up in court. Yes, you agreed to it, but it's not a reasonable clause.
Two ways to do this with window functions (there's probably a better one but this is what I came up with quickly):

1. Subquery

SELECT * FROM (
SELECT u.user, i.text, row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY i.user ORDER BY i.pos) AS row
FROM users u INNER JOIN items i USING(user)
) numbered
WHERE row <= 3;

2. CTE

WITH numbered AS (
SELECT u.user, i.text, row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY i.user ORDER BY i.pos) AS row
FROM users u INNER JOIN items i USING(user)
)
SELECT * FROM numbered WHERE row <= 3;

Same thing, really. CTE looks a bit clearer, subquery seems to generate a faster plan but I don't really have a large enough dataset handy for it to make a difference.
Yeah same ! I use it everyday, such a nice tool

What doubt, though? They gave unconsenting users' data to third parties for years. It was policy. They knew what they were doing but didn't care.

Ask HN: How to stop feeling underachieving?
I'm a software engineer in my mid twenties in the bay area. Lately I find myself constantly stressed out because everyday I see so many people around my age or even younger than me that are so much more successful. I know rationally that those people are the exceptions and that I might be able to get there one day too, but I still can't help but feel underachieving and stressed.

I would appreciate any advice or perspectives that would help me achieve some sort of inner peace. Would love book recommendations too.
> However, I like to use Python for small single-purpose utilities, and in those cases I don't even bother with the optional type annotations, let alone checking them with mypy.

I agree for small utilities and code that's acting as glue between layers that it's convenient to have languages that are loose with what they accept because you can usually manually and exhaustively QA them and because you have no other choice when connecting languages without static type systems. Once you have a large and complex app though, strong typing makes you so much more productive that I honestly can't understand how anyone could argue against strong types.

I think accident investigators could certainly take some tips from them when it comes to autonomous vehicles. They need to understand exactly what data is collected by these vehicles, and how they can use that data as part of their investigation. There should also be a full root cause investigation into every single accident involving an autonomous vehicle. These protocols really need to be in place now, with training and funding of accident investigators written in as part of the operating license for each city, because if we wait a decade, we'll get a lot more resistance from the operators.

"this garbage" is obviously name calling in the sense that https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html uses the term.

The comment makes two reductionist moves: it casually substitutes one thing for another as if the two were the same, in order to tar one with derision proper to the other; and it uses the modifier "merely" followed by something trivial in order to demean the subject. I don't know what you call reductionism, but to me that word is not only justified, the comment is a poster child of it.
Sounds like a Messenger bot would work well for that use case actually.
I'm preparing for a master's thesis (and then a research career), my university's library is rather scarce. Local uni's with superb libraries like Bogazici and Koc only allow graduate students from other unis. W/o sci-hub, I'd not have been able to read a single paper I've read in the past couple of years. Would have had to wait until I graduate, and had to expect that I made my way into a uni with a nice library, or at least be in a city where I can access to another uni with a rich library.

Information is produced mostly on tax money, and even when it's not, it's based on tech and info developed on tax money, and all of that is based on millennia of science one way or another the global society produced. I believe it's fair to think I and every other person "own" all of the scientific information already anyways. Even if you don't believe in that, I can't see how the other option is to pour mostly taxpayer money into cancerous organisations that sell what they have not even helped produce.

Life of Women Street Vendors: Protection of Livelihood and Need for Regulation
Retribution is a strongly rational choice for a society aiming to minimize the total amount of injustice, since it interferes with the incentives structure of those perpetrating injustices. The majority of criminals make an intentional choice and know they are harming others, they are not irrational victims of circumstance or of their upbringing.

So, to the extent that the justice sistem can identify truly antisocial crime (and not ridiculous offenses like 5y mandatory minimums for weed), making the criminals suffer sets a strong social example: if you perpetrate this particularly heinous crime, you will a pay a price so high that it will not be worth it.

And since, by definition, only a fraction of criminals will be caught, those that are caught must suffer extra to asymptotically balance the risk/reward ratio - if I get caught stealing I don't just compensate the victim for the stolen good, thereby "paying my dues", that will just motivate me to get better at stealing. Rather, the penalty should completely obliterate any gains I could hope to make in a successful thieving career, and then some, to dissuade me to go down that path in the first place.

Rehabilitation is an important concern, but it's only secondary to the primary goal of the justice system, making crime not worthwhile. If all I get for running over people while drunk is an obligation to go to AA meetings, then the drunk driving law becomes irrelevant, you might as well leave it to the individual conscience.
Let me be the first to say that I would not argue that we should a priori trust a journalist, NYT or wherever. When I ask for rationale in distrusting NYT reporters out of hand, I mean, why should we distrust them moreso than the other journalist (the lawandcrime blogger)?

I'm not asking us to discern with extreme acuity the integrity and honesty of these NYT journalists. I'm limiting it to the claims that have been made against them, their responses, and the evidence available. Trying to draw conclusions about their scope and length of gainful employment and what that says about them is all an unnecessary tangent.

I absolutely agree that censorship (and racism, and hate, and everything not binary) is not an absolute. And that journalists are influenced by many biases, overt and hidden. In fact, the NYT journalists in question could be compromised if they are avid FB users and have many fond memories.

But why is that the topic of debate? Law&crime has made a specific assertion about how FB interacted with NYT reporters about a specific situation -- this negative FB story. I don't have to argue about whether FB's pushback had "zero impact" because I don't have to agree or disagree. Those small factors may push this question one way or another.

But before considering those minute details, and tackling the ongoing issue of the trustworthiness of corporate media and the presence of harmful incentives, we have to agree on some easily observable facts, regarding a well-defined question.

In other words, I don't think I have a lot to disagree with you. But if I have to convince you about the unified theory of journalism and business, just in arguing about whether the OP is full of shit, I don't think I can win that :)

Rather that developing robots that fit into existing strawberry farms which are designed to make it easier for humans to harvest, they should be developing new types of strawberry farms which are designed to make it easier for robots to harvest. That could be combined with the indoor farm model too to bring other benefits, such as allowing all-year-round harvests, potentially bringing the food closer to the consumer, possibly assisting pest control, etc.

But yes, I've often thought strawberry harvesting would be a really interesting (and challenging) AI and robotics problem to work on.
It doesn't really matter what they say. We'll have to just see how they uphold it.

For instance, right now Facebook claims it's in no violation of EU privacy laws, even though multiple Data Protection Authorities have started investigations or lawsuits against it, and it even lost one of those lawsuits recently. So of course Facebook will keep claiming it's squeaky clean and it's following all the rules, even while breaking many of them and laughing to the bank.
if its only keeping in touch with your family then i would say that facebook isnt really that essential since there are countless other services/apps that you could use for that purpose.
but if you also want to passively keep up to date with what other people are doing or posting then thats a bit harder to do without facecheck
> Lets stay rational and stick to facts.

Sure, let's do that:

1) George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

2) Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

3) Paul Manafort was indicted on conspiracy, money laundering, false statements, and failure to disclose foreign assets, not just money laundering.

4) Rick Gates similar to Manafort, but has taken a plea deal.

5) 13 Russian nationals and 3 Russian companies indicted on conspiracy charges and identity theft.

6) Richard Pinedo pleaded guilty to an identity theft charge in connection with the Russian indictments, and is cooperating.

7) Alex van der Zwaan pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his connections to Rick Gates.

In favour: the fact that costs of access to research haven't plummeted with the rise of the internet as they have for other media, and that the traditional publishers are making profit margins of 30-40% (typically associated with luxury brands) indicates that the academic publishing market is not working as it should, and that the traditional publishers are making more profit off publicly funded work than you'd expect them to "deserve" based on the value they add.

Against, from a societal point of view: Sci-Hub is no longe-term solution, as it still depends on articles being published elsewhere. Furthermore, there is not yet a proper alternative to the traditional publisher's main contribution: credentialing of academics.

Against, from a point of view of the shareholders of the traditional publishers: if this leads to cancelled subscriptions, they lose money. A case could be made that Sci-Hub has contributed to e.g. most German university libraries cancelling their Elsevier subscriptions this year.

What are the rates of crimes committed per 100k population in the US and the countries you mentioned? Obviously that's a loaded question, but just trying to illustrate the point -- perhaps the US criminal justice system is just as good (or possibly even better) at investigating, arresting, and jailing those who commit "crimes"?

Is the problem really with the criminal justice system, or is it with the laws, perhaps even just the sentencing laws?

FWIW I am firmly against, disgusted by, the extremely elevated incarceration rates in the US -- especially those incarcerated for "non-violent crimes" -- but I tend to think that the issue is more with the laws (sentencing, plea-bargaining, due process, etc) than it is with the prosecutors themselves.

Of course there are bad apples too, from judges to prosecutors to defendants themselves, but I tend to see more issue with the disconnected legislation than I do anything else.

Heck, the US AG wants to crack down on marijuana -- despite numerous state ballot initiatives legalizing it at state levels. Meanwhile, there's a serious opioid epidemic which is killing thousands of people; 'crackdown' is failing to address that problem. I know, let's crack down on marijuana too -- throw them all in jail, that's the way to save lives. It just blatantly defies logic or basic reasoning. :(

Why should an animal have to go through that, when it's human who caused it? He does not deserve that.
Authors are often allowed to share at least their preprints (i.e. submitted manuscripts that have not been peer reviewed yet) elsewhere, but this rarely happens in many academic disciplines. In fact, they are often required to do so by their institution, to deposit their work in its Institutional Repository, yet even that requirement is often flaunted.

(In my view, this is because the personal benefit is not that clear yet, especially if the work is just hidden in some long list of other research. Which is why I'm working on helping them use their research to raise their academic profile: https://medium.com/flockademic/the-holy-grail-in-open-access... )

what about that BBC document (Planet earth if I recall correctly) where they watched group of dragons, they've closed on water buffalo resting in mud, bitten him couple of times (just surface scratches but bleeding), and then just stuck around for a month waiting for him to die?

The filmmakers really documented the progress of buffalo's physique degradation, which was very obvious. I mean I wasn't around but usually these documents represent reality, and if this wouldn't be the case, dragons would behave differently. Pure scratches/shallow bites don't kill animals usually, otherwise nothing would survive in wilderness.

Only other explanation I can think of is having actual poison, not bacteria. Or is there some other story to it?
