I don't really understand this mindset. Are we supposed to treat people like there's absolutely no right or wrong way to live? How are we supposed to have a stable society when there are no standards by which to live by or strive for? Why shouldn't we discriminate against bad behavior and provide positive feedback for good behavior?
Not messaging apps, but the government in Switzerland of all places recently introduced a law to block online casinos that don't operate under a Swiss license. The only reason that it hasn't gone into effect yet is because enough signatures have been collected to force a referendum.

I'm reading from the English translation here, but it suggests that "businesslike" also includes something that is ongoing / sustained. So if your personal blog is posted every Tuesday, it could be said that is "businesslike" (geschäftsmäßig). They also specify that profit is not a requirement.

If someone is searching for data to support their bias, then they are not qualified to to analyze data and do not have sufficient knowledge of statistics. It's important to know what you're not able to discern from the information you have.

The labels "conservative/liberal" don't mean much to me either. I find that many people are motivates by economics, or supporting their own tribes/ego. Many of these "opinions" come from organizations funded by wealthy people who benefit from the voters having those opinions, and I don't see any point in ascribing them any value.

At least in academia, there is a process that can result in valid results about our world, such as climate change. But there is no reason to consider Jenny Mccarthy's opinion on vaccines, or some oil magnate in Texas's opinion about climate change.

Selling my business: Selldom.io, a marketplace to buy and sell unused domains
Hi everyone! I'm selling Selldom.io, a marketplace to sell and buy unused domains.

The service is complete and works well. It contains a welcome email sent automatically (you can adjust the message), the domain verification system to ensure the seller really owns it and an auction system.

I'm selling it because I want to focus on other product I'm working on and building a marketplace requires some focus that I don't have right now.

Regarding the statistics:

* The service is receiving around 800 visitors per month.

* There are 87 verified members of the newsletter

* 159 accounts, including 151 verified.

* 240 domains, including 123 verified

It has been built in Python (Flask framework) with MySQL database and relies on Redis for the async tasks (domain verification, emails, etc)

I'm asking for a price of 1250$.

If anyone is interested, feel free to reach out.

I have a few ideas that can be implemented to increase the uniqueness of the service.

I'm happy to help you install the code on your server, and explain how it works to help you get started.
I've also developed three features for this that are not enough put in front.

# Price comparator feature:

The first one is a price comparator of the major registrars on the web.
It's located at https://selldom.io/prices/. You can get a quick view of the best price for any domain.

Take the .com for instance, with the quick link: https://selldom.io/prices/.com, you have all the prices offered by the registrars with their fluctuations, and which one has the best offer right now.

You could easily implement an affiliate system with it and put it more in front of the visitors.

# Wall of fame feature:

The second tool is the "Wall of Fame". When someone validates a domain, they can put any text on the DNS verification, and the text is put on the WoF:
https://selldom.io/wall-of-fame/

Then, people can vote and the best one is on top.

This link is not available to the public (but can easily be added) and can leverage the fun side of validating a domain for instance.

# Dedicated domain feature

If a seller modifies it's A DNS entry for a selling domain to point to Selldom.io, the domain will display a dedicated page to sell the domain.
This can help the seller increase the chance to sell the domain. Again, this is not well documented but the feature is already implemented.

I have an example ready to showcase it: http://newsletter.cc

(note: this doesn't work with https as it would require Selldom.io to manage SSL for all the domains in sales!)
There were still bad actors of course. But the tipping point hadn’t been reached where they materially spoilt it for the rest of us. In those days you might get one spam/phishing/whatever email a week and you’d complain to the SA of the originating site and get a personal email back that they’d dealt with it. Nowadays of course it is a river of sewage.
Unless you provide journalistic content. Then you could be required to have an imprint as well.

I was always wondering if they overturn this at some point. I don't know of any other country requiring it and I doubt that it helps taking down illicit content. If anything, it helps consultants for offshore companies.
Is there a way to oppose homophobia while still upholding family values (eg: eschew promiscuity and instead take one partner for life)?
Relying on cognitive limitations of your subjects to get agreement you wouldn't get if the subjects were fully-informed is fraudsters' domain.

And since the article is called "What Data Does Facebook Collect When I’m Not Using Facebook?" I'd like to point out that I never agreed to Facebook tracking my browsing habits. I couldn't say they were clear and forthcoming about their tracking because we never met. Are you saying they wouldn't do it without my explicit permission? Because that would be news.
depends on how they talk on slack and who talks to who.

The company I'm working with at the moment has separate slack per team with each time being ~5 persons and then some people from other team on each slack who pass message.... the communication is not great and the collaboration between services isn't either

Surely there's an opportunity here, driving forward things like public healthcare (or public education) sans the diversity rhetoric.

What is "the diversity rhetoric"?

Is it practically speaking possible to have a public healthcare system or a pubic education system without examining "diversity" in those services?

They're two entirely orthogonal issues. You can find homophobia repellent, and believe that promiscuity is bad, and there's nothing stopping that. Why would there be?
Highlighting the crimes of actor B to excuse the crimes of actor A is not "pointing out hypocrisy", it's an attempt to excuse a crime and confuse the conversation.
Read Bloomberg, WSJ, Fox, heck NYT, Washington Post for articles critical of him or his ventures. He got a lot of PR for sure, but he's hardly worshiped in the mainstream.

> Look, I get it, nobody else seems to be doing exciting tech lately and Musk is certainly not doing CRUD apps, so I see where the excitement is coming from, but I also see a lot of fanaticism and PR bullshit around Musk, so I'd say some amount of skepticism is well placed.

Skepticism is always healthy, but dropping false facts like this is not: "He making his money on cars with lithium batteries, and chemical rockets. That’s where he’s spending and making his billions. He’s dropping 3.8% of his recent $2.6 billion award on this project"

Also, aren't we getting infinite streams of what Google, Amazon, FB, Apple, Microsoft are up to? Count how many articles on HN about Tesla vs. Google?
"Right now the code says a structure must be engineered to have a 90 percent chance of avoiding total collapse. But many experts believe that is not enough.

“Ten percent of buildings will collapse,” said Lucy Jones, the former leader of natural hazards research at the United States Geological Survey who is leading a campaign to make building codes in California stronger. “I don’t understand why that’s acceptable.”"

One way that reads to me is that an event over some threshold has a high probability to cause the complete collapse all of those buildings. 90% doesn't seem like a very high threshold either, if it corresponds straight out to a 1-in-10 event that seems quite bad. If it's a 90% chance of survival in a 1-in-100 event, that's better, but not great.
All true, but Facebook is unique in its reach. It has tracking bugs on far more websites than almost any of these other ad services. It has specific personal information about billions of people, including their social network, their private messages to friends, their exact relationship status history, photos, videos, voice recordings, location information, including lots of such information for hundreds of millions of other people who have never consented or even been given the opportunity to consent. It's the biggest, most intrusive database of personal information in the world, and it sells access to that data in order to serve poorly targeted ads (which honestly are a scam on their actual customers as well). And their entire business model is premised on this leaky bucket--in order to allow sales of tightly targeted ads, they also are knowingly revealing personal information to malicious parties who can and have and will continue to take full advantage.

So sure, there's an entire industry built for this, but Facebook has some truly unique properties that make it light-years more dangerous than your typical ad network.

Now that we understand a bit more about the behaviour of the system at scale, lets iterate and build the internet again, from scratch, but better this time. Factory resetting routers isn't enough, we need to factory reset the internet.

We are building an app store for PWAs to solve the exact issues you're describing over at https://appsco.pe. We won't be able to solve the native capabilities issue though but we don't think Apple can cripple Safari forever either.
> And as a reminder, the German rule only applies to commercial sites — a site with no ads and no way to pay such as quasseldroid.info does not need an Imprint.

I wouldn't be too sure. There is, unfortunately, a lot of room for interpretation with this law. Rather cautious adviser urge you to have one as long as your website isn't private in the sense that can't be accessed by the public (i.e. a website for family members that can only be accessed with a password).

This law (IANAL) is just horrible.
How to Build a Serverless App in AWS in 15 Minutes
I'm no expert on Japanese culture or ninjas, but my idea of of a ninja is someone who is dressed in black, infiltrates your building, kills you with a thrown weapon, and then escapes without being seen. So, if you "deliver eyeballs like a fucking ninja," then you're not a very good ninja.
Probably less about whataboutism and more about retaliation. Not saying one actor would stop if another did, but still.
And I'm saying, depends on how the model is built. If it is a simple dictionary then yes. But there are better ways to build a model. Its a naïve view that all models are like some strawman.

you probably won't write your data on all 250 nodes...
assuming you have a distributed database you do not write to more than 3-9 nodes. (and even 7-9 is way too much in most cases).

if you would write to all nodes your performance would be terrible.
I also do not think that they needed more than one master in their payment system. I mean it's highly unlikely that a big machine couldn't handle all their transactions.
if it would still be a problem I would still use a old school rds and shard the hell out of it.

however keep in mind that uber did a lot of wierd things in their past, from an engineering perspective.

Please do share the registrar that blocks all whois data for free!
That's what I said though, you are given the option to opt out entirely, or it could be the default as you said. This can be as fine grained as necessary so it is not intrusive but still allows you to use features if you choose so.

What I object to is the Apple approach to simply take away the option whether you want it or not. It's not user friendly at all, it's patronizing and stifling.

> Docker container-images are really not that hard to build "manually", without using Docker.

I've sometimes described docker images as a collection of tarballs stickytaped together with a JSON manifest.

I understand that the format is simple, but I don't want to write such a tool. I want such a tool to exist and be in wide usage, so I have assurance that it will keep up with changes, receive security scrutiny and receive improvements in features and performance.

This is a question of economics. I can write software to do anything software can do. Whether that makes sense is different. Until it has not made sense for me or many others. Given Google's clear interest in prying apart the tangle and willingness to assign fulltime engineering to it, there is a chance that we can all get out of the quagmire.
But how do you tell those dedicated users apart from all the bot accounts that post millions of hours of garbage backed by a computer voice narrator?
Existing "AI" is more like a couple of wheels and a handful of engine parts. I think it's fair to call it something more accurate so as not to mislead the public about where today's consequences come from.

Russia isn’t part of the liberal order. They’ve done things like leak tapped phone calls to the press (“fuck the EU”) and they’re less likely to care about collateral damage. Nato already has the worlds most reliable and powerful military so as things go cyber physical there isn’t a delta in terms of power balance for them, but there is for Russia and countries that nerve agent attack on foreign soil already show a lack of restraint. We shouldn’t take it lightly.

Post-Authenticity and the Ironic Truths of Meme Culture
Your entire argument is based on this idiosyncratic theory of widespread ignorance. This theory is simply wrong, as a matter of fact. Even if it were true, no historical case ever turned on the unprovable notion that most people are too dumb to understand the truth.

Since you didn't respond when I raised it elsewhere in-thread, I would highlight again the fundamental imbalance between the rules you would impose on Facebook etc. and those you would impose on users. Firms that spend billions of dollars developing their systems only have to be as smart as the most ignorant person we can imagine. Their users, in contrast, must be geniuses to keep up with their many changes to TOS, interfaces, and functionality, while simultaneously those genius users aren't allowed to notice that numbers follow each other in sequence. This is nonsense on its face, but then again authoritarian maneuvers are their own justification, aren't they?

How I taught a machine to take my job
I was there for about that amount of time when I manged to build enough reputation and connections to get into one of the hot startups at the time. I was 29 at the time. I really wanted to leave Silicon Valley, but I already realized that I had made my big break if I played it right.

If I hadn't gotten into to this startup (now a big company on the NASDAQ), I would have left and moved to Austin.

I continued to hate Silicon Valley more every year, but it made me rich.
Note that nobody in West Germany used to watch East German TV during that time.

We tend to imagine that the ecosystem that will bounce back is the current one, or something much like the current one.

I take BART to and from SFO all the time. But then I'm essentially always just with carry-on. Pretty much any public transit from airports (with the possible exception of busses explicitly set up for the purpose) aren't a great fit for travelers lugging a bunch of suitcases.
> I am glad that websites cannot play audio without the user first interacting with the page.

And what makes an app different from a website, really?

In my opinion, web browsers need to add privilege controls to websites just like the OS does to apps.
That analogy would be more accurate if you also operated a cafe out of your living room, with a big "open" sign on the front door, and someone accidentally used your personal bathroom because you failed to stick a "private" sign on it. In that case, it would be unreasonable to sue someone for trespass.
The Flavors of Data Science and Engineering
I like (and use) Riot.im but as an electron app that uses ~300 MB of RAM (I just checked) it is definitely not lightweight.

I can't think of any way they could make it lightweight either. Maybe if they treated the JS as pseudocode and re-implemented as native clients.

And the end result are tyrannical power structures that de facto exert totalitarian control. There is very little difference between government-enforced restrictions and those created by global capitalism and its monopolies.

It doesn't matter to me if my rights are restricted by legal means or by corporate hegemonies, in fact the mechanisms in play are so complex nobody can really be sure anymore.
Of all the natural disasters, I seem to shudder at earthquakes the most. May be because I am biased by witnessing the destruction brought by the 2001 earthquake in India. The thought that at any moment, without warning, the safe abode you are in might come crashing down on you is pretty scary.

I wonder with human population increasing and with the shortage of urban land needing highrises, what is the long term solution to this.
