In your hypothetical the site admins would have to be aware of the ads, profiting from them, laundering the profits, etc. In that case yes, burn HN down and scatter the ashes. Of course thst isn’t what they’d do, is it? They’d report the ad, delete it, and try to prevent any more such ads from appearing, which is the polar opposite of the actions taken. by Backpage. I’d also like a citation on your numbers, and how you can tell the difference between “legit prostitution” and someone being trafficked or pimped.

I’d add that if you actually care about broader issues of censorship, you could not be doing a worse and more counterproductive job of promulgating those beliefs if you tried.
You seem to think that "verb morphology" is all there is to "grammar".

SESTA is not about Backpage. It's about being able to take down any site and arrest the owners if the sites contains anything the government deems inappropriate.

SESTA is huge gov't overreach and everyone's distracted by these sensational news reports.
i think you are right and it sounds like many of the 'flying car' companies are targeting that, not something that can drive on roads.
Or more succinctly, a lot of people don't really find a meaningful difference between selling data and selling access to or use of that data.
Backpage wasn't indicted under SESTA.
I think your comment is being downvoted because it's irrelevant. The discussion is about "how to figure out what to build" and you pivoted to an interview question you like to use. So it's wrong conversationally, not factually.
I would pay good money for a speech to text plus translated text solution - something like a dual subtitle AR set up. I am probably unusual in that translation is less of a problem for me than accuracy in hearing. I invariably wish the other side of the conversation had much better diction/ clear pronunciation. I often find that I am hearing very different sounds from what my conversation partner later tells me they were saying. I don't have this problem with English but I do when the partner is speaking the three languages I have studied (French, Japanese and Spanish - none of which have particularly foreign phonemes from English). Any phone apps that do something like this well?

Why not? It seems like a pretty good term to me. They are design patterns and they have bad intentions.

This article is essentially saying "Stop using this term, I don't like it."

Man, NASA needs to hire some design and marketing people. They have a talent for making amazing outer space content boring.

Sure, but it doesn't really change anything about the power dynamics. Any international company cannot afford to refuse a court order form a country they need to do business in.
I edited the above comment with the correct article.

It's pointless to argue about free election outcome without free access to media. In any western country, an investigation alleging president's friends funneling billions of tax money offshore would be in every news issue. Brazil got rid of a president over much much less. How can you call it an election if you can't get any airtime, are convicted in a kangaroo court and your brother is in prison?

I can't speak to the others, but I did the Japanese course for a bit as a refresher since I'm 20+ years from my 4Y of japanese. I found the content pretty terrible, some of it is also obviously wrong or very misleading.
Ah, right, or "business logic eval()ed from database text" systems.
To understand the story a little more regarding Backpage and its criminal activities, I'd highly recommend watching "I am Jane Doe" on Netflix. It is a documentary exposing the child prostitution and human trafficking Backdoor facilitated.
If you’re selling, you need buyers. If there is an economic downturn, there won’t be buyers. There is no way around this.
Except it is autopilot; it performs the same function as an aircraft autopilot, no more nor less.

I'm not reasoning through analogies like yours. I was reasoning from principles. Your analogies might be nice sound bites but don't have much value in describing the world.

Your problems with SESTA may be valid but that's a completely separate question from whether or not shutting backpage down would limit human trafficking. You're arguing from mood affiliation (that SESTA is bad and therefore anything associated with it is bad) and not against the principles.
If you're not of the opinion that prostitution is immoral and must be outlawed, then the only problematic bullet point is the one about child sex trafficking.

But looking into it, they were stripping out hundreds of words from ads. This was being done to avoid prosecution for allowing prostitution ads on their platform. However, the senate's report and all the media focus on 5 or 6 words that have underage connotations, in an effort to scandalize you.

Read for yourself: https://www.mccaskill.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2017.01.10%20...

It sounds like you are morally outraged and quite shocked to imagine that such a thing as prostitution could exist, and that you are clamoring for the government to sweep it under the rug. Banning and hiding prostitution does not make it go away, it just makes it more dangerous for the prostitutes. Your analysis here is based on moral outrage and your credulous reading of a report sensationalized to make some prosecutor's career.
Yes, plus I can put it on while doing the chores, which is ideal, same as Glossika as my previous post. It's naturally there embedded into my daily workflow.

It can’t, nor can most cars with automatic braking. The Tesla will happily run headfirst into a brick wall all day long. The reason is that the driving world is chock-full of objects with zero velocity relative to terrain - the trivial cases being a rise in the road ahead, or an at-grade bridge where the travel lanes suck below grade to pass. Therefore, autopilot and many auto-braking algorithms filter out completely static objects (see previous story about a Tesla ramming a fire truck stopped on the highway).

Musk has commented publicly before (though somewhat obliquely) about this flaw. He indicated that the company is trying to build a map of reference data so that it can be filtered out automatically, and real hazards can be seen/found.
The question is, what is there of value in space? Science fiction has really misled people into thinking a human space faring society is economically feasible. As a human there's nothing for you in space except, well, basically, space cancer. Raw materials found in space can also be found at the bottom of the ocean or underground with less or similar extraction cost and right next to the only currently existing consumers of said material. Now a "species" of software intelligences on the other hand, which could adapt their bodies to fit their environments, the various collections of asteroids might present a compelling opportunity to build a dyson swarm (assuming they could think of some useful/valuable to them way to use that much energy).

It's kind of hilarious to think that people seriously propose terraforming mars as a strategy to avoid the dangers of global warming or nuclear war; there are a thousand other uses for all that time, labor, and money. Many of which could mitigate threats like that for a tiny fraction of the cost.

I don't normally talk about this, but here is what you are missing:

Businesses that make (real) money revolve around one of two ideas:

- They sell shovels

- They are middlemen (middlepeople?)

They sell shovels.

This is stolen from the old saying that during the American gold rush the people who made the money were the ones selling shovels. Or facilitating others to go and do what they wanted (in this case, chase a wild dream).

Uber, the example you used, sells shovels. It lets people make money from their car. Real money. Not peanuts. Your idea to sell food to neighbors didn't have the potential to make much money. You weren't selling shovels, you were selling work (cooking is hard work).

Now, let's take your current business (which you list in your profile). You sell shovels because you help companies get what they what in terms of engineering management (lots of money to be made there). Better engineering processes usually trickles down into the finances. In a way, you are selling money.

They are middlemen.

A middleman is someone who simply takes a cut for facilitating something. They import beer from somewhere else and by doing that they jack up the price a little bit and resell it to you. This is a very straightforward mechanic.

Amazon is one of the best middlemen out there right now. It even changed the game by reducing the friction in selling online. Their whole "fulfilled by Amazon" approach is a classic middlemen tactic.

Middlemen sell the idea that they make getting what you want easier.

How to apply this to software

Selling shovels: Build a product that makes people money. Ecommerce is still growing. Do something there.

Be a middleman: Find something to facilitate. Look for inefficiencies. How? Listen to complaints. People love to complain to someone who listens. Make some contacts on social media and listen to people. They will show you the way.

One last thing: don't be stupid. Big ideas are tied to a big ego. You are not Musk, Jobs, or Gates. Who cares?! Look for small ideas that you can execute well. And then execute, not for passion or ego, but as a grind. Like a regular job. Because that's what it is. Good luck.
Russia is already extremely energetic in deciding who can and can't do business there, and who can run in elections (framed opposition leader in last election.) Ditto elsewhere. They aren't waiting for us. You have every right to discuss of the advisability of the courts ruling, I just note again that that wasn't something I offered an opinion on.
For the second space age. For an industry in space, for getting humanity beyond the confines of this single planet.
Not to exonerate Tesla, but cars are ALWAYS almost about to hit something. The next time you’re driving down a curvy road, pay close attention to all the obstacles that are by the side of the road and how often you are pointed right at them and how small the steering adjustments you make are and how little time there is between you almost hitting something and then not.

This is part of why trying to second guess a driver or autopilot is insane; a crashing and non-crashing car are almost identical, except for the crash.

I agree, so I think there's at least room for a treaty between free countries as to what they could do to restrict internet traffic across borders, but won't. The European right to forget legislation, which I should have mentioned, makes any such agreement very tough, however, I suspect.

Kinda why I'm happy NASA still has their own plans, and other competitors are out there too. Hinging everything on one rocket isn't a good idea, and when the shuttle was retired, we ended up without a way to space for years.
How I learned to live with a name that’s a constant source of humiliation
Okay, this approach is really cool, but... just hear me out: what if... you don't store personally identifiable data in the event store? What if you only store references/ids that point to services which can resolve those ids to data, and that data needs not to be immutable. In the event of erasure request you shred/anonymize that data only, without touching kafka. I mean it's pretty obvious to me, to the point i feel like i'm missing some huge point and grossly misunderstanding the whole problem

I think the argument he's trying to make is that "dark UX" can easily be assumed to be "dark colored" instead of "evil/nasty/deceitful".

And I tend to agree, I had to momentarily consider what the phrase meant, because I hadn't heard it in a long time. (not that I thought it was a color reference, I knew what it meant)

Maybe "Deceitful UX/Design Patterns" or "Conman UX/Design Patterns" would be more effective as phrase to accurately and quickly transfer meaning. This is a simple marketing issue.
The whole point of a blockchain is that it's append-only. Each block has a hash of the previous block. If you wanted to modify a Bitcoin block from a year ago, you'd have to do the same computation as a year worth of all miners.
I worked at both for a short time in the early 2000s and I got paid more at USPS than I did at UPS. USPS was more reliable than UPS as far as employment and overall a better place to work. As a matter of fact UPS ranks as one of the worst places I ever worked at. The amount of screaming and yelling between management and workers that goes on there is some of the worse I have ever seen at any work place I've been at.
> never decaying into the orbits that the normal matter does.

Exactly my point - it's either in the same orbit as the sun, in which case the orbital speed is the same, or it's not, in which case there's no wind interacting with the detector.

You can't have it both ways.

You want an utterly left-field answer? Minecraft [1].

> Seth Frey, a postdoctoral fellow in computational social science at Dartmouth College, has studied the behavior of thousands of youths on Minecraft servers, and he argues that their interactions are, essentially, teaching civic literacy. “You’ve got these kids, and they’re creating these worlds, and they think they’re just playing a game, but they have to solve some of the hardest problems facing humanity,” Frey says. “They have to solve the tragedy of the commons.” What’s more, they’re often anonymous teenagers who, studies suggest, are almost 90 percent male (online play attracts far fewer girls and women than single-­player mode). That makes them “what I like to think of as possibly the worst human beings around,” Frey adds, only half-­jokingly. “So this shouldn’t work. And the fact that this works is astonishing.”

> ...

> Three years ago, the public library in Darien, Conn., decided to host its own Minecraft server. To play, kids must acquire a library card. More than 900 kids have signed up, according to John Blyberg, the library’s assistant director for innovation and user experience. “The kids are really a community,” he told me. To prevent conflict, the library installed plug-ins that give players a chunk of land in the game that only they can access, unless they explicitly allow someone else to do so. Even so, conflict arises. “I’ll get a call saying, ‘This is Dasher80, and someone has come in and destroyed my house,’ ” Blyberg says. Sometimes library administrators will step in to adjudicate the dispute. But this is increasingly rare, Blyberg says. “Generally, the self-­governing takes over. I’ll log in, and there’ll be 10 or 15 messages, and it’ll start with, ‘So-and-so stole this,’ and each message is more of this,” he says. “And at the end, it’ll be: ‘It’s O.K., we worked it out! Disregard this message!’ ”

There is a noticeable gap in all this chatter about toxic masculinity. We're told that it's adolescent and immature male behavior, the worst of a roomful of teenage boys.

Ok.

So let's look at what the worst teenage girls get up to...

- Queen Bee'ing and passive aggressive social dominance games.

- Whisper campaigns, slut shaming and going behind people's backs.

- Crab bucket mentality, obsession over relative status and appearances.

- Recruiting authority figures to whitewash cry-bullying and enact revenge.

Now, does that remind you of anything that's been happening on the internet in recent years? Consider this: the supposed plague of online harassment aimed at women, typified by anonymous sites like Encyclopedia Dramatica and Kiwifarms... Does that sound like something angry teenage boys would do, or angry teenage girls?

The toxic femininity was coming from inside the house all along. And the fact that those two words are never uttered together by supposed gender specialists ought to tell you something too.

Ahole is a more general category, including sloppiness, is why. For example: Blizzard's Hearthstone forces endless clicking by disabled people (and everyone else) to get through their cards collection (if you press "t" you won't go straight to cards starting with "t"), and doesn't allow you to turn off the flashing during play if you have epilepsy. Your decks are always presented in random order wasting enormous amounts of time, and on and on and on. These aren't dark patterns (deliberate way of manipulating or deceiving), it's just lazy uncaring Ahole design or pure idiocy. Be as ticked as you like at dark design, but please don't blur the words (conflate the concepts.)

This is a interesting point and I agree, pretty important privacy feature that we should discuss more.

Off the top of my head, there could be some things we could do to help this, but the async/sync nature of `window.ipfs` makes it harder. If variable access was async, we could prompt before exposing it, but since we want to enable the browser extension to be a migration path to having native IPFS support in the browser, it becomes harder.

lide went ahead and opened a issue (https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion/issues/451), so if you're reading this and have ideas, we'd love to hear from you! We care deeply about this issue but was not required for the initial prototype we have now.

This was my experience as well, quick to pick up but harder to master with more complex specs and commands even if seemingly simple. Understanding the concepts and the design patterns used in the examples goes a long way, it is a powerful framework.
Still, let's hope it doesn't become public too soon - it would get immediately reduced to short-term profit-banging corporate machine by the biggest shareholders. For now, we need a company that's driven by a long-term vision (of something else than money).

great response and research. I agree with you that Obama shares a solid share of responsibility - but more importantly I think the enormous amount of effort required to keep a supermajority in line to pass the legislation is the real story.
The reason why window.ipfs is so great is that it opens up for a very easy migration path for when IPFS is embedded directly in the browsers.

So as a application developer, you would check if window.ipfs exists on the page, and if it doesn't, load js-ipfs and then the rest of the page can function the same way, no matter how ipfs was loaded on the page.

Unless we can be sure that when browsers implement IPFS, window.requestAPI('ipfs') would be the API, going the route we're taking now is the safest bet, unfortunately.
