Heck no. Seeing how some of my family use Whatsapp - blind forwarding of literally any message to everyone on their contact list - I'd say it's a couple of orders of magnitude worse. On FB you can report a post and have it taken down. No such thing on WA.
Facebook isn't infrastructure like roads and electricity because it's not neutral. I don't hate FB, but it's a privately owned platform. Real infrastructure uses protocols, not platforms.
> far as Alexa goes, I unplugged it a few months ago and it's collecting dust now

Ha, I got a google home mini free as part of some promotion, and I haven't even broken the shrink wrap. I need to find a way to sell that thing for a few bucks before it becomes outdated, because I sure have no interest in it.
> Islamic laws explicitly allow multiple wives and I know people who have multiple wives.

Sure, but how common is it really? Are you talking 3% of Muslim men? (in which case it's peculiar to regard as a particulalry Muslim thing)
Or 93%?

And what, specifically do we object to about it? I'm against polygamy only in that (at least in situations I know more about such as the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints movement, or FLDS) it seems very heavily entwined with abuse of power and/or underage marriage, and cults. If polygamy was not coupled with those things then I would struggle to identify on what basis (if any) it is objectionable.
This article is about old video, already discussed here in detail. I thought it could be about a new one.

So, couple of hours ago another video surfaced on /r/teslamotors, filmed at original location of Model X crash, with very detailed slow-motion.

And autopilot acts (presumably) the same way as on Model X, trying to drive the car into solid obstacle.

> I was told every single year that smoking is bad and all that jazz

If someone tells me not to do something, it makes me want to do it. I smoked for a while when I was 18, back before I believed anything could really harm me. It was fun and upset all the people I wanted to upset.

Does anyone have a recommendation for what to use for a cache shared between processes? Would hdf5 work?
I really want to get into Mastodon, but I cannot decide which one I would want to join. Is there one that's say best for.. gaming? Or one best for the arts? I tried to use their search but it's hard to tell which one I'd actually want to be part of.
> I think that cutesy names like this are fine for personal use, but for commercial use you're better of using a more standardised schema for naming.

The thing to keep in mind when doing this, too, is that DNS is a hierarchy. Use that.

Many companies have a naming scheme something like EX-AP-NY-FS-1 for Example Corp's Appliance Division's New York Office's File Server number 1. Try fs1.ny.ap.example.com instead. It's much cleaner, and then the New York office can have ny.ap.example.com as a search domain and refer to it as just fs1 even if there is some other fs1 in the San Francisco office. People in SF can still access the New York server and vice versa by using the fully qualified name.

It also puts administrative boundaries in the right place, so the appliance division has authority over its own names but not the names belonging to some other division.
I don't think you will find it against research per se, but against the arrogance that many academic researchers exhibit towards those who are not in academia. Once one has a PhD, it seems to be a mental requirement that one will have or show disdain to those who do not.

I have met humble academics, I have met many more who are arrogant know-it-alls. It behooves all to understand that each one of us has a limited set of knowledge. Especially when one becomes more "expert" in some field.

I think one reason that various groups of people has a distaste for science and academics is the fairly common "I'm better than you because I've earned a degree or two or three and know more than you do" attitude displayed.

One aspect of research and publication which has been highlighted many times is that replication of experiments that have been published don't get any funding or recognition.

In that regard, what seems to happen in research is that instead of further investigating the slight anomalies that are found, it is often just let go because it is not within the scope of what was initially being investigated. It seems to be a rendition of the attitude of "Move along, there's nothing to see here".
Why not just go for a Surface Pro and get the best of both worlds ?
Yup I mentioned Microsoft COM (which Mozilla's defunct XPCOM was modelled after). Shared libraries and binary interfaces, rather than C header files.

Come to think of it I'd like to see a postmortem on XPCOM.

Chrome uses apparently uses more of a build time tool to generate interfaces in both C++ and JavaScript.
You can do split-screen apps, you could have a ssh session and slack at the same time.

The 17th Century Lenten Cheat of Smoked Beaver Meat
When I watched this movie for the first time, I was underwhelmed. The slow pace made me impatient. Then I realized, it's not the movie, it's me. The new age fast paced movies had made me an Adrenaline junkie equivalent of watching films.

Such movies have to be enjoyed with patience and preferably alone. It's an experience similar to listening Indian classical music (I am from India).
Err, both worlds are there, but in my experience it could hardly be described as the “best of”.
There is a huge difference in how I accept the way and reasons people are killed.

Thats also why I truly think that a statement of "never trust humans in a car" is super arrogant.

I dont trust humans who belive they can build machines that does a better job than humans. Then again, I dont trust a lot of people at all.
Greater Bay Area: Bay Area (大灣區) in China
The "Greater Bay Area" refers to the Chinese government's scheme to link the cities of Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Zhongshan, Dongguan, Huizhou, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing into an integrated economic and business hub.

Actually, I can't find any english articles on Wiki to explain the whole idea, but here's some useful links to understand the concept :

Hey hackers , what do you think about greater bay area in China ? Will it really greater than "Bay Area" ?

Thank you for posting this. I often get the "grass is greener" feeling and an urge to check out swift but this tells me I shouldn't bother. Sigh.
No, you’re spreading opinionated propaganda, and a political witchhunt. And I don’t think this is appropriate for HN.

/r/bitcoin is heavily censored and is an echo chamber. It is no way representative of the bitcoin community.

Go to any in person Meetup and you know the majority of old bitcoin era and experts are not on /r/bitcoin’s side, and wanted the block size raised a year ago. I’d suggest diversifying your news sources because /r/Bitcoin is more biased than Breitbart.
If authoritative servers supported DNS over (D)TLS then running your own recursive resolver would plug most holes. The biggest remaining information leakage would be to the TLD NS operators, which could further be mitigated by spreading it to some sort of authoritative mirrors, maybe secured by dnssec?

> MBPs have gotten worse with linux compatibility over the past few years. It usually takes at least a year to even get usable.

I don't see a trend there. Some things always worked, while others didn't. Same for the current MBP's. It's the usual problem for hardware where the vendor doesn't provide Linux drivers: you need somebody to write these drivers in their spare time and only a few people are willing to do so. I maintain an overview of the Linux compatibility of the MBP's >=2016 (https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux/) and it's absolutely astonishing what a few people can achieve, even without documentation of the hardware. Given, the hardware support isn't that good yet in Linux, but if there would be 10 instead of 2-3 people working in their spare time on the drivers, first class support would be there pretty soon. So if you care about Linux compatibility of Macs: Get your hands dirty and do something about it!

> It's just not worth getting a Mac to run linux.

For me it's worth it, because it feels like somebody thought really hard about getting things right, which results in really, really nice hardware (except for the latest keyboards and the Touch Bar of course).
Or is it the worst of both worlds, I tried one earlier this year but couldn't get on with it, it was just too compromised.
> Here's what he thinks of privacy: he had his own private paramilitary / police force de facto arrest and detain a photographer on a public California road. The photographer was taken to Facebook HQ for interrogation:

> http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5563325/Mark-Zuckerb....

Why inflate what actually happened that much? Checked you on that statement, and even the daily mail article just mentioned it was a security guard who told the photographer to go to HQ, where he was met by two executives. No 'paramilitary force'...

I like neither the company nor the person, but please don't spread false information.
It really depends on how you as an entity who is supplying data to analytics firm have negotiated your contract with the analytics firm. Just saying an acquisition will completely negate all contracts before is incorrect.

Also, these agreements are between 2 companies (the company providing the data and the analytics firm which will show analytics on that data). There is no privacy policy per se in this case. It is all about contract negotiation on the rights you give to the analytics firm on how to share the data and what happens if they get acquired.
Research papers are typically about very specific topics. It would be strange to end up reading one on the Internet unless you already know the field keywords and use google scholar or any other science-oriented browser.
I own netbook and before that an actual Psion series 5 and series 7. They all really do seem like a great idea. On the netbook I set the text size tiny so I could still get two columns of 80 char lines. But the problem with all of them is the keyboard. It's just too small. If you're used to typing at a high wpm and use emacs like me then you will feel retarded. I never ended up doing anything productive on any of them.
- "the instructions it does generate are far more predictable than the ones generated by Rust."

I am wondering how that might work? Isn't this extremely depending on the compiler and flags? To be honest, i would assume that a modern compiler with many optimizations would generate a very different list of instructions then some simple compiler. C has a large list of available compilers..

- "I would love to be able to have the same familiarity, predictability, and indegenous feeling with Rust that I have with C,"

To be honest, all that seems to be mostly time and experience. Surely you won't get the same familiarity with Rust compared to C in a fraction of the time. It just sounds like you feel comfortable enough with C and see no reason to change, which is good for you in a way :)
Personally speaking, what I would prefer is a stream instead of a feed. Like old fashioned television, I see whatever's on the stream at the time I look at it, and nothing more: there is no temptation to keep swiping down to infinity. Important items can reappear later if they're missed. The content of the stream is based on subject subscriptions.
The increased rendering accuracy of HiDPI is extremely soothing to my eyes, allowing me to even go with a smaller font (rather, UI scale) than I do on a LoDPI one while improving comfort.

I have a 29" 2560x1080 screen in front of me yet I still regularly unplug it and work on the 13" Retina in spite of the reduced real estate.
you are confusing jokes with fiction. It is possible to tell true story with additional jokes there and there without fiction. And I think here is confusion - for me Last Week Tonight seems like serious show which tries to do a lot of research to present some facts to audience in entertaining way.

I would switch in a heartbeat if it had a mouse. This stops me working on presentations which is where most of my time is spent.

Surely it wouldn’t even be that hard to enable and would fit in without compromising a touch based interface? I don’t understand why they wouldn’t do it?
Yes, I have. Quit and restarted Chrome. There's no bug. I'm afraid there's no way to reproduce the behaviour you describe.

I have Fox News, Daily Mail, CNN, and a number of other sources blocked. No issues whatsoever.
The Architecture of Open Source Applications is a very good book series!

Data Laced with History: Causal Trees and Operational CRDTs
Another sign of the times. I remember when Oppo's were one of the few (if not only) players to play burned CD's. There's just not enough of a "mid-market" enthusiast crowd left - someone that wants a hardware player, won't splurge on the big names, but willing to spend more than what a local retailer (or Best Buy?) has. Wonder what that says for mid-range speaker makers?

In case it was unclear, I personally am not at all resentful toward academic research. It is just that for structural reasons related to social organization and funding model, it has both advantages and disadvantages, and the latter shouldn’t be ignored.

Your post did a nice job explaining some of the reasons that academics do the type of work they do, and how that differs from hobby side projects. I think it’s more interesting to discuss the trade-offs involved instead of just passively agreeing with the OP. [Also, many non-academic projects are more organized than someone’s weekend hobby hack (large scale volunteer efforts, funded by donations and sponsorships, directly corporate-run, etc.), so it is worth discussing those as well.]
I’ll save everyone the time of reading this article that just runs around in circles. The one ingredient you need is money. Your own money. That’s it.
Lately, I can't help but notice the vast number of ways social media is deficient compared to real life.

In real life, you get "circles" for free! Whoever you are with in the current moment is your circle, and only they have access to what you "share" during that time period.

There is some leaking through the grapevine, but we have an intution for that and usually handle it decently well. It's often even desired.
Really an amazing thing you describe for us, there are many peoples who actually not well aware of this site. everyone needs to know the actuality of the things, thanks for your drastic article that creates the very good impact on the mind of the peoples and get them inspire more about this.https://babasupport.org/microsoft/windows-media-player-servi...

What's the new Reddit? I'd like to get on that.
> Those very entities have agencies which are both "protecting" the public by imposing regulations that prevent them from expenditures with negative expected value, and at the same time peddle them.

Those two things aren't necessarily in logical contradiction.

There will always be demand for gambling and get-rich-quick schemes. Maybe it's better that the state monopolizes and regulates it (and makes it clear that this is not an investment), rather than letting private entrepreneurs take advantage of that same habit in even more effective and unscrupulous ways.

The state is not a particularly efficient entity, so perhaps letting it do evil in a bumbling and clumsy manner is the least overall evil.
Why do we care so much about design? Reddits success in spite of completely eschewing designers should prove design is over valued. So to does Craigslist. Japanese websites are proof by example that this is strictly a cultural phenomena. Why does Western society seem to value form over function so much?

How much is "good design" codeword for dumbing the site down as much as possible and making it shiny enough for people who get distracted by car keys? Reddit doesn't exactly have the learning curve of a command line tool or a rocket plane. Maybe I'm elitist, but if you can't understand reddit as it is maybe you're an idiot?

Call me an old man waving around my cane, but I say to hell with the redesign. Give me my plain old links in their plain old default blue underline and my mod-hacked-together css+bots. The internet need not anymore "progress for the sake of progress".
Yet, before today, I had never heard of you or your work. I download and read from a broad selection of papers and fields.

Mayhaps, you need to do a bit more "youtubing" to get your stuff out there and more accessible. A couple of my current favourites on youtube is 3Blue1Brown and Mathologer. They are both entertaining as well as being informative and have set me on investigatory paths for other research in various fields.
Will the learning curve of "self-select" too steep to certain users ?
Which garbage traffic? Where does it come from?
I don't know about that. I was a heavy Digg user when that happened and Reddit was already an increasingly serious competitor when then the redesign killed Digg.

I don't see the "next one" that is already starting to steal some Reddit traffic that could possibly take over even if Reddit's design is similarly badly recieved.

> would be more likely to buy hosted service from you because it's so. But maybe that's not the general stance

Hmm a word is missing after "so"?

Yes I think for most people it's not wort getting one's own server. Installing stuff, creating OpenAuth accounts at Google, FB etc, finding a send-emails SaaS, and other things ... is lots of work and sometimes confusing / frustrating.
try 'brew install gnome-desktop' maybe?
Strange, I have the complete reverse experience. Mac is by far the best. Windows is worst.

I use Linux at work daily but miss my mac. It is much more unstable and unpolished. The app selection is really weak and the integration between gui and console is weak although better than on windows.

Windows is an utter mess these days as Microsoft is jumping between so many different UI paradigms.
Like every redesign, I'm sure that people are going to be angry about it no matter how it looks.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned it, but really the make or break of this new reddit will be speed. The one thing that I remember noticing about the site is how much faster it was than the comparable time wasting sites (Facebook, Stumbleupon, etc). More speed, more addictiveness.

Currently all educational system teaches students to respect and obey authority. So right now, in our society, people first obey, then only they ll think to question the authority..The primary education from private companies is probably going to be the same.

Teaching students critical thinking, means they are encouraged and taught to ask questions first, before obeying. Governments like a population that just would work obediently and pay taxes without questioning, than a populace that ask questions at every turn. So they would prevent the kind of education that can lead to such a population...
Indeed, google scholar and similar citation graphs are amazing. It makes tracking down vaguely relevant papers much easier than in the past. I can skim a few dozen papers one day, and then more closely inspect the handful that seem most relevant or interesting.

I wish that google scholar showed bidirectional links though. I suspect they might have concluded that the list of citations included in a particular paper is part of the content of the paper (not just metadata) so that showing it might infringe copyright.
I've been using vim seriously for years, and I've had escape on capslock for many of them. However, not all users know how to do that or haven't thought of the amazing benefits that can be obtained. There's people who are only picking up vim today. Give them a chance.

To those who haven't: Give it a go. Put Escape on Caps lock. If you've got Control there and you're running Linux or Windows with a standard PC keyboard, you probably actually want to swap Control and Alt. If you haven't, you probably want to swap Control and Alt anyway. (This will give you bindings similar to the Mac's Command key. The thumb is a much stronger finger and far more suited to these combinations than the weak pinky.)
