> facebook did not do anything special to attract these events

They built a platform monetarily incentivised to promote attention-grabbing content. They then it loose in a country just opening up to the outside world. That is reckless. Combined with their history of profiting from such violence, it looks downright evil.

Zuckerberg et al are our generation's analog to Goldman Sachs' bankers helping the oligarchs pillage post-Soviet Russia [1].

You've been here for ages; you know where threads like this go. Please don't pick religious flamewars here!
Given the current reality, you can do either of the following here:

A) Mark yourself as HIV positive in your profile, which Grindr will share with third parties.

B) Directly declare yourself as HIV-positive at some point in a conversation.

I’m not suggesting there are options without drawbacks.
I don't see it taking over for everything necessarily, but there are a lot of places it would help. Like Paprika Recipe Manager, which costs $5 for the iPhone/iPad universal app, but if I wanted the Mac version it's $30. Part of that is a "because I can" pricing, the market will bear it because there's just not that much competition compared to iOS apps. Another part is "because I have to," it's a much smaller market and a bunch of additional work to make the Mac version, so the price has to cover those costs with fewer users.

If it didn't need a totally separate UI framework, ports like this would take less effort and more apps would do it. Maybe you can't sell it for 6x the cost any more, but a comparatively small amount of work gives you a leg up on the competition.

Twitter is another example. They killed the native Mac client earlier this year and said "For the full Twitter experience on Mac, visit Twitter on web."
Well, after I stayed in a typical British house for some time, with its coldness even in a relatively warm weather, and two separate taps system in bathroom, I started to believe that impractical designs in building could be an inseparable part of British culture :-)
> 68XXX to PPC to Intel was not a horrible experience.

Unless you rely on a piece of software that does not receive any updates anymore. Then you're basically screwed. I am rather annoyed that Apple is going to break backward compatibility yet again for no good reason. Intel Mac's perform a perfectly adequate job and Intel couldn't really screw Apple because they are a rather good customer.
Why rewrite macOS? All they have to do is recompile it for ARM. We know they're already doing basically this for iOS.
Which is anecdotal, the first battery could have just been defective or failed earlier.
Sounds like it was a defective battery rather than charging controller. Although depending on how long ago you got your first cell phone, I'm sure a lot has changed.
The ethics are in building the machines, though. Consider, we don't worry about the ethics of bio-weapons, from the perspective of the weapon. Rather, we say it is unethical to build said weapons. (Right?)

This doesn't change just because we could build a nanotech (or other) weapon that selectively kills people.
I'm not aware of any common vape that uses pure water as the carrier fluid. They typically use glycerol or propylene glycol, so it's not just "steam".
The first person to find an exploit in the smart contract, like a juicy bug pinata.
Which imo is criminal, if the laptop is starting at >$700 they should "splurge" on the nicer display.
SEEKING WORK - Los Angeles, CA or Remote

Hi. I am a Los Angeles-based independent software engineering contractor specializing in web- and cloud-based services and SaaS applications, Unix (GNU/Linux and OpenBSD) systems programming, FOSS consulting, integration support, and customization, and the Lisp family of programming languages.

I remember all the way back to the early 90s and the original x86 emulator running on ARM. Admittedly that was before optimizations like JIT, and a lot of research has gone into binary translation since then, but it was a painful experience at the time. I wonder how much performance would be lost these days.
Apologies for not just responding. I want to say this is wrong, but I confess I am not equipped to really tackle the question.
If your parents want to build out more stuff for the company, consider starting a separate entity and then selling whatever you build as SaaS to them, and use them as guinea pigs to perfect your product, and then sell it to more companies that are similar. That would be a good way to stay connected but stop the bleeding & give you ownership.
> Moreover, the x64 was created by AMD, not Intel.

With the assistance of a veritable phone book of cross-licensing of patents with both Intel and VIA.
As long as i get a unix shell i wont complain about what apple does to the hardware.
Even the election of a US President you are viscerally opposed to doesn't usually change long term behavior. What percentage of people that are absolutely appalled at the election of Trump have adjusted their daily lives to make a change - e.g. regularly volunteering for a political cause/candidate (rage tweeting doesn't count)?
> For a couple of weeks, I've been trying to bootstrap an environment to read an existing database

Correct me if I'm wrong: for several WEEKS you're struggling with implementing a database read?
The interesting thing here is the groupthink believes this methodology is unique to Sinclair.
If Apple needs to, they could buy either Autodesk or Adobe. To be honest, I'd prefer the buy and port Solidworks.
Much of the OSS stuff people run on macs - like the stuff that's in brew - already runs on various ARM based platforms. That's why your little raspberry pi can run a 'real desktop'.
They can try, but you can't get blood from a stone. Emulating x86 on ARM is going to give you grotesquely low performance, it's arguably not even the same category of problem that they currently solve (virtualization, not emulation).

One thing they could run with is ARM-on-ARM virtualization, which is a more direct (heh) parallel to what they do on Intel now, but ARM hypervisors are less mature, and their practical applications, less readily apparent.
I wonder if Apple is maybe looking at AMD for chips? That would be a much less painful switch instead of transitioning to ARM for the Desktop.
An Open Letter to ALL Accelerators
...except it didn't really spread democracy, at least not in a particularly long lasting way. Maybe what we've learned is that fueling populist uprisings isn't something that is particularly good, and that seems to be what Facebook is good for, politically.
Exactly. HN is a bubble, and I think people forget they don't represent the average consumer.
> ... I've always thought this is a bad idea ... A finger is not a mouse

There are no good or bad ideas :) Its all about time, place, knowledge of tradeoffs, execution, business, marketing, taking into account all stakeholders (user is one of them) and everything holistic :)

What you say is true, a finger is not a mouse. But we're now a decade past the release of iPhone, and by this time, the industry in general (and Apple in particular) have deep knowledge about all the tradeoffs involved here. 5 years before and this can be considered a reckless bet that requires a Steve Jobs to pull out. Now, its just natural evolution. Responsive design has been around for even longer, and changing interactions based on screen and form factors is a pretty mature problem domain now.

To be very specific:

- whether its a finger or mouse can be a runtime decision, not necessarily a compile-time or clean-slate/distribution decision for different platforms

- those decisions are already standardized enough based on existing knowledge that you can let the platform/framework (or 3p libraries) handle it out-of-the-box for you and just register multiple possibilities. instead of debating finger vs mouse - think finger and mouse

i.e. different interactions requiring entirely different apps - is not necessarily true for all of them. for a 2D application, some amount of standardization is actually good, otherwise it doesn't really help all the interaction patterns and may instead stagnate them.

> Back in 2010/2011 Facebook was being praised for fueling the Arab Spring, which toppled dictators and spread democracy (also lead to the horrific war in Syria).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was Twitter as the major player RE: Arab Spring.

I think 8 years is a more than long enough time for backend changes in a platform to change sentiment. Also, the platform may not have been used for as many nefarious purposes in the past.

As someone mentioned profile pages on Youtube is crashing. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16738166
This is why I mention that there are specific cases for subhuman levels of intelligence.
That page specifically says that they don't:

> Google Public DNS stores two sets of logs: temporary and permanent. The temporary logs store the full IP address of the machine you're using. [...] We delete these temporary logs within 24 to 48 hours.

> In the permanent logs, we don't keep personally identifiable information or IP information. We do keep some location information (at the city/metro level) so that we can conduct debugging, analyze abuse phenomena. After keeping this data for two weeks, we randomly sample a small subset for permanent storage.
True, but that doesn't help you google resources. I usually resort to just restricting to stuff in the last year.
Intel already has screwed Apple as far as they're concerned - there have been numerous delays in macs attributed to Intel's chip delays. Apple isn't one to take kindly to holding up a significant product line for an external vendor if they have an alternative.
You're not typical of the average consumer, though. Don't forget that HN is a particularly technical crowd, so you can't use it to judge how technically competent Internet users are.
Perhaps it's worth talking to a therapist to examine your relationship with your family?

No matter what the legal situation is, emotionally this is your company as well, and I can't imagine how hard it must be to stop working there.

Talking with an objective outsider might give you some perspective on how best to set boundaries, to be involved but still respected and properly valued for your work.

Although "snake" is a strong word, it may be apt -- it does seem that your father continues to use your emotional attachment to the company as a bargaining chip against you.
I have considered myself fairly libertarian, and have voted for libertarians in various positions for years. I think this is a bit like saying "I have a question for Republicans" or "I have a question for Democrats"--you'll get disparate answers depending on who you ask.

I am not opposed to taxes, and support them. Libertarianism is not anarchism. I think government programs should exist, and do well.

My informal theory is that there are two types of libertarians, or two dimensions to it, one regulatory and one financial. I see myself as extremely deregulatory, but not against taxes. So, e.g., I am not opposed to a single payer health care system, with concomitant taxes to pay for it, but am also in favor of massive health care and drug deregulation. Obviously in such a system the government would have to establish rules for itself (in terms of what it would support and would not) but I don't see why that would have to prevent someone else privately from doing something else.

I'm kind of a democrat-leaning libertarian, though, in that I usually (always in the past, but not by principle) vote for democrats when I don't vote for libertarians.

My salient political principle is really about injecting competition into society. Sometimes that might mean government services and/or intervention (where private industry is failing to provide a service or meet a need, or where monopolies exist), and sometimes it might mean massive deregulation (where the government plays favorites through regulatory capture--my definition of regulatory capture being very broad compared to many). So far I haven't found a party that matches my outlook well, although libertarianism in general has maybe been closest.
I just wanted to say that gron is one of the most useful tools I've seen posted to HN in a very long time.

Thanks!
If so many companies are doing things for the blockchain, are they storing in the same blockchain as bitcoin or are companies creating more blockchains and needing miners to help mine, etc,
Losing VBA support stinks, but do any professional Excel users even consider Office for Mac?
Yes, I've given talks on what containers actually are and which technologies they combine. Containers oldest technology would be mount namespaces from 2002 - the youngest are user namespaces from 2013 (on linux anyway, solaris and IBM had containers before).

People are always amazed that container products are actually mostly just the glue around what the kernel already provides and that their history goes back almost two decades.
I'm sorry if I offended you so much you had to revive a dormant account that had been untouched for 4 years.
Okay. But even with the government as part of the gathering the premise remains the same. Even for the government it is vastly easier to use the new communication platforms to spread hate and solidify it's grip on power. I am not saying the government couldn't use posters and banners and newspapers ads, I am just saying the new tools make it vastly easy and provide the government a shield that they didn't know about it.
So this is the research area that I currently work in, albeit with a disease ecology perspective rather than a biochemistry one. I've had a quick read of it and and although it does seem to track other research that has been done ("Why are behavioral and immune traits linked?" by Lopes 2017 is a nice review) I'd love to see some power analyses - the sample size seems pretty small for something as complex as this question. The study I'm helping with now has a minimum sample size in the hundreds, for instance, for a broadly similar question. PCA-ing a few tests together is pretty common, but also comes with a lot of potential biases (see "Avoiding the misuse of BLUP in behavioural ecology" by Houslay and Wilson if anyone is interested!)
If you vape also consider making the liquid yourself. The base is just 2 ingredients and you can carefully source your flavoring agents. Making your own can be 50-100x cheaper than buying premade.

But as other people here said - diacetyl / popcorn lung has been known on the popular vaping scene for almost a decade now. Not to speak in absolute terms but I think it would be hard to find a retailer these days that carries any liquid with diacetyl in it.
I had 16 GB, got close to the limit working on a project with many containers, upgraded to 32. I leave open projects for 4/5 customers now which is very handy, no need to close and open. That alone is worth the cost of the extra GBs.
> whatever it is the pro's use for video editing those days are a different ballgame.

That would be Final Cut Pro X, which Apple itself makes. (Also, Motion, Compressor, and honestly, iMovie does a lot of stuff you wouldn't think it could do for a free app.)
Those 2 statements are completely different issues.

And yes, companies are entirely moving their systems and data. Salesforce runs their sales team. Oracle and SAP runs their ERP and finance. And now AWS/Azure runs their IT infrastructure. They use email from Google or Microsoft, along with hundreds of other SaaS products used day to day by employees. New startups are even more invested and start using other vendors for every non-core activity from day one. This is what a strong global business ecosystem enables and is a massive advantage for everyone.
It's more likely that there was deliberate propagandization of the population and Facebook was one of the mechanisms (like radio was in the Rwanda genocide.)
Am I the only one that dislikes ArgumentExceptions - especially if I'm consuming a library (without source.) IMO - exceptions should be for exceptional situations, not invalid input handling.
> Would you be interested in hiring new grads?

Those are rough characteristics we think we'd see in successful candidates. Happy to make exceptions for the "right person", but it's hard to say w/out seeing a resume. If you're passionate about working on JS runtimes, then please reach out, we'd love to hear from you.

For new grads and/or intern positions at Microsoft, the easiest thing is to go through your university recruiting center, and schedule interviews as early in the fall as possible. Microsoft hires lots (1000s?) of college students & interns every year.

This would be easy to do, if we knew what was on Apple's roadmap…
There is no real need in 4K resolution, so that's why is's not so popular.
No? A corporation forcing news outlets to issue editorial statements (and without disclosure) isn't remotely the same thing as a newspaper voluntarily paying Reuters for access to its reporting. It's like the difference between buying an apple at the farmer's market and having somebody pour bleach in your eyes. There's a level of abstraction where you could describe those two things in similar terms ("oh, you're just having a substance enter your body"), but they are not at all the same in any meaningful way.
