> ... then documentation priorities will be set as if they are marketing materials.

Thank you. This is exactly my point.

The only way making them a function of "marketing" makes sense, is if the leadership of Ghost view user docs as something primarily to bring in (new) sales.

As a person who has often done implementation roles in their career, having to rely on docs written by "marketing" people rather than engineers is generally a lousy experience. :(
I did not know that Unicode itself was variable length. That alone nullifies motivation to use codepoint arrays. Why would they do that??
While I sort of intuitively agree with you, I think there's a certain amount of circularity in the argument - any problem will seem to have well defined metrics once you've built and studied a machine which can solve it.

In the sixties, chess was thought to be a problem that required intelligence since it couldn't be brute-forced. We now have machines which can play it well, without brute-forcing, and yet it's seen as entirely procedural.
Please explain where analog computation has a benefit over digital that outweighs its numerous disadvantages.
Hello John. You may want to clear up some of the language you use around open source and copyright. The blog post says "the entire product is open source and has no copyright." All open source licenses are enforced via copyright, and the license on the github repos that I spot checked are explicitly copyrighted with what appears to be the MIT license. I think the intent of the post is clear, but it currently doesn't line up with the source.

That is frustrating. I have been contributing to the twofactorauth.org project, but I am still new to the community there.

It is a really great resource of information with over 1,000 sites as of today. I am not aware of any other data sources that could provide similar information, but if you know of any, please do share!

2FA Notifier uses twofactorauth.org as a data feed, but does not rely on that data alone. I have made updates to the data already to help it work better for the use-case that 2FA Notifier is trying to solve.

I am looking to create a community around the support of data for 2FA Notifier. We would still use the twofactorauth.org data as a main source and contribute changes back to that project. However, I can see 2FA Notifier having a different set of criteria and processes so that we could move more quickly to get the data into production so that it is useful for users of 2FA Notifier.

Will you contribute data to the 2FA Notifier project? I can reach out to you offline if you're interested. I'd love to chat!
Thank you for keeping the discussion in the realm of the plausible and feasible. I'd hate for extreme situations to be brought up. A number of people have given reasons for why they think net neutrality is as important as it is to them.

Thank you for definitively letting me know that

Obviously net neutrality is something we should be concerned about but a single issue voter says it's the only thing we should be concerned about. That's just not true.

Your argument has been convincing. Convincing enough that I'll be sure to consult you on other issues in the penumbra of the hierarchy of human concerns to see if they merit being single voter issue. Perhaps you can make a flier for those of us not in the know.
FanDuel claims not to be gambling yet they're being bought out by a gambling company. Interesting
You can still have an impact. Make noise in favor of things like open primaries, proportional representation, and instant-runoff/score/range voting.

Imo one of the biggest problems with our current system (single winner FPTP) is it results in two parties, with various side effects such as extremist candidates in primaries, complete lack of representation for minority voters, and gerrymandered districts. Moving towards better systems would help a great deal.
Another benefit of prioritizing future humans is that they're the people on the other side of the Cryo door in a thousand years.
Ask HN: Search engine to find references to URLs
It occurred to me recently that it would be useful to be able to search for web pages that reference a particular page of interest, as they are likely discussing similar topics and may have further useful insights into the original content. In some ways linking produces a directed graph of related content, and I would like to be able to traverse this graph.

It occurs to me (from a very high level) that this sort of data is at the core of a page-rank type search engine so I assumed such a thing probably already exists, however I don't seem to be able to find anything like it. Most similar sites appear to just find links to domains. Is anybody out there aware of such a search engine?

Hey! Great Question. There are actually two steps:

1) The list of powernodes is derived from running a modified version of Eigentrust on the network, and selecting the top n nodes. This is run at the publisher/domain level.

2) After identifying the powernodes, they are used to rank news at the article level, based on how many powernodes are linking to a source.

Therefore the powernodes are selected based on the entire graph, and can change over time. Testing our ideas on the current media landscape seems to show the algorithm does a good job of identifying local maxima.

For example: Our current list of around 60 powernodes was generated from a graph of around 3.5 million articles from the last 3 years. It includes sites bitcoin.com and coindesk, two sites that are relatively new compared to several of the larger incumbents.

From the left, it includes sites like salon, vox, and msnbc.

From the right it includes sites like breitbart, the daily caller, and the washington examiner.

All trustless cryptography based systems have a threshold of malicious participants they can tolerate before failing. Bitcoin, for example, has a well known threshold of 51%. The media, however, is diverse enough that the idea they would all somehow collude with one another to game the system seems unlikely.

By all means, if you don't want to buy a Tesla, please don't!

My comment was mainly pointing out that you're repeating rumors, and that if they were true, Tesla owners would be up in arms about the problems. But, instead, they're giving Tesla the highest score on the "Would you buy another of the same brand car?" test of all luxury car brands.
So what they are saying is that every car in the employee parking lot will have a cellphone in it?

Wouldn't that cause a lot of break-ins?
Writing a Python C extension in 2018
I've heard the rhetoric. It's not relevant to my point:

Group A of companies wants B to pay a bill. Group B doesn't want to pay it. Corporate lobbying ensues, as each tries to make the other's position illegal. Who is "right" or whether or not Group B should pay Group A's bill is not relevant to the accuracy of my statement.

EDIT: Please keep this thread on the topic at hand: Why net neutrality is perceived as a liberal position. There are other subthreads where you can discuss your opinion on net neutrality itself.
I'm the author of https://github.com/sqreen/PyMiniRacer, used as example in this deck.

I introduce how I leveraged ctypes + Python manylinux wheels (PEP513 / PEP571) in order to allow loading V8 easily into Python, without requiring local compilation on install nor having us maintaining a huge test matrix:

$ pip install py-mini-racer
$ python
>>> from py_mini_racer import py_mini_racer
>>> ctx = py_mini_racer.MiniRacer()
>>> ctx.eval('1+1')

So this shared object could be used in any language allowing to interact with arbitrary shared objects (e.g. Ruby with fiddle).
Moviepass is an all you can eat subscription. The UK has those - Cineworld and Odeon both do them. But the point is that they're significantly more expensive than Moviepass is, and the price of quite a few individual tickets (they're usually £35/40pm, which is $50-60 US). And they're run by the chains themselves so they have less infrastructure cost to check for fraud.

That's what I meant by integer multiples. If Moviepass was $60 a month it might be sustainable. But it's not, it's $10.
A business like this is likely to have a WebSense network appliance, and/or policy enforcement software on the desktops.

> cell network

Pagers do not use the cellular network. (some cellular networks do provide paging-style services, but that is a later development that is unrelated to traditional pagers)

> A 'receive only' pager still needs to announce itself

A traditional pager doesn't have a radio transmitter.

> they're not just multicast

The message is broadcast region-wide using very low-bandwidth protocols[1]. A pager will generally only work inside the region it is registered with. To compensate for the lack of ACKs, the message is usually repeated several times; it will missed if the pager is off for all of the transmissions.

There are some phages being marketed as prebiotics, I have been taking PreforPro[1], which does seem to have generally positive effects on my guts.

What I'd say is that until somewhat recently, I was interested in politics but not engaged. I took your position during that part of my life. Now that I'm actually engaging in political activities, COINTELPRO and its current incarnations scare the bejesus out of me, and I'm not doing anything that radical, just left of the Democratic Party. YMMV.

There may come a time in your life when you wish to have a say in the political system or are wronged by a powerful corporation. You'd care in that case. When your political rights disappear, they aren't easy to get back.
The focus and priorities assigned to whoever does the work will be set by their manager.

It's fairly easy to see that a Marketing manager will view the desired end result quite differently than an Engineering manager would.

With a corresponding difference in the focus and priorities then set accordingly.

> Google is kind of saying they can tentatively pass the Turing Test with phones

This is quite a bold claim, and one I'm not sure they're making. Their promo material suggests that it's limited to quite well-defined domains where conversations aren't really that open-ended, and we haven't seen how it'll perform in the real world.

Relatedly, I don't think headlines like "Google Duplex beat the Turing test: Are we doomed?" [0] are helpful at all. It's disappointingly low-effort clickbait where instead there's plenty of interesting discussion to be had (should machines have to identify themselves as such? What about their use of pauses and fillers?).

And every couple of years someone finds this out the hard way and goes on a big rant like this one. Particularly with the .IO ccTLD. Or .LY.

Moderator bias?
This point is entirely contrived. California owns all of the interstates within it's borders, are they also "national infrastructure"? Do you think California should be able to dictate what goods can and cannot be transported on them? Numerous private companies own the fiber cables and exchanges that deliver internet across the country, are they "national infrastructure" too? In this case a local council is trying to control what goods can and cannot be imported out of America, something which it does not and should not have the power to do.

Edit: in case it’s not clear, your “unless they own the network” remark is an assertion that Net Neitrality should not exist in any form.

Git does default to the current HEAD, but it allows you to specify a start point if you want to. Doing this with git branch might be useful if you have changes you haven't committed and can't git stash for some reason.

it is quite funny that not even apple is using Apple Numbers internally
How so? Hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds are all man-made units. It’s the failure of 24 hours not fitting exactly into a day, not the inverse.

Leap years have nothing to do with milliseconds in a day- it’s days that fail to fit into a year; days and years are defined by the orbit and rotation of the earth. Leap seconds, however, are another story...
DON'T GET SCAMMED!!!... I am a single mother of 2 boys, I needed a loan to pay for tuition fees for my sons but had negative listings and bad credit records which was caused by my strugglings to make ends meet since lost my husband to cancer. I needed a way out. I contacted over 4 different hackers which I got ripped off even though i told them about my situation and that i was also widow. They were still heartless and took my money without rendering the services they promised to. I thank God for my sister who introduced me to a hacker of hers who could help. We contacted him and with a reasonable amount of money my bad listings were flushed out in a week. It felt like magic as i remember shedding tears of joy on that very day. Contact him if you need such service at QUADHACKED(at)GMAIL(com)COM. He is the only one i trust.
Git has its claws deep in the file system. On the browser side, JS and wasm have very limited access to the file system. You’d need to somehow bridge that gap. (It looks like isomorphic-git is using indexdb, and not the file system).

There’s probably other dependencies (ssh, http, an editor for commits) that need to be resolved to get expected functionality.
Wow, breach of contract, theft and extortion all in one convenient package!

> run your production stuff off a .com or country-level equivalent

In this case technically they did run from a country-level equivalent, .io is a ccTLD.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.io

Granted no one ever appears to use .io for it's original purpose as the ccTLD for the British Indian Ocean Territory...

ccTLD management is delegated to a company in that nation usually. Unfortunately not all of them are equally well managed - I wouldn't consider gTLDs _exactly_ comparable to ccTLDs in this regard. ccTLDs get to differ in pretty key ways from gTLDs, including deciding their own dispute resolution processes (gTLDs all use the UDRP).

The American Housing Crisis Might Be Our Next Big Political Issue
If you are referring to the cash flow statement, which I think you are, there are no "weird non-GAAP claims" involved.

Their latest 10Q shows GAAP pretax income of $1.9 billion.

If you're referring to total change in cash which was -$4.2 billion, that's because they reduced their accounts payable by $10.2 billion from paying all the suppliers after the holiday season. Looking at the consolidated statement of cash flows of a seasonal business very, very easily leads to misunderstanding the business.

Operating cash flow was $18 billion for the year ending 3/31.
The geneva convention only covers militaries not police forces. Regardless "international law" is a bit of a misnomer. It exists only at the tolerance of sovereigns who can and do ignore it whenever it suits them.
Yea... we really need to fix that one of these days with instant runoff voting. It's going to be hard to get done since both primary parties won't be in favor of it, maybe if we get public financing of elections it'll be easier.
Great post. Rather thought provoking. Though I dropped out of college in my late teens, I started taking classes again 17 years later later am doing much better than I did before. As a sysadmin, I was always reading all sorts of subjects and pursuing different hobbies that further expanded my knowledge. The one subject I have been having issues is with Math, but that is due to lack of effort and stretching myself too thin.
I don't know how you expect your core team to make reasonable decisions [...]

That's how most everything is made, not just software. In the case of software, Fred Brooks added an essay titled "Parnas was right, and I was wrong" in the 20th anniversary edition of The Mythical Man Month about this topic. Itself published over 20 years ago.
You should start with breeding a new kind of humans, ones that would be compatible with socialism.

Of course alternatively, you could just kill a vast majority of them; that's the approach most people attempting to implement socialism end up taking (viz. anything from Soviet Russia to Khmer Rouge). Alas, every time in the output you get lots of mass graves, but no workable socialism.
I agree that one in that context cares, but I think you can agree that most people are not in that context. So on the whole, they receive benefits from deep data integration and no immediate downsides.

Which circles back to the original question: should a person feel guilt over creating tools that help the average user and harm the political dissident? Seems an open question. Perhaps one heavily dependent upon whether the actor agrees with the political dissident's position.

Why is this being downvoted? If people want female and/or black symbols, there are so many others who actually made a contribution (David Blackwell of the famous Rao-Blackwell equation, Shafi Goldwasser who won a Turing award, etc.).

Are we going to now start celebrating the people who got the first smallpox or polio vaccines as great contributors to science just because they were chosen to be the first for a procedure?

Attributing impact to figures who didn't personally do anything demeans the struggles and accomplishments of actual minority scientists.

You're basically arguing that open source isn't really open because you don't have the time to inspect every commit...

Think of it this way. Our senses of taste and smell are very weak feature extractors. The way that trained sommeliers have been taught to distinguish wine given the presence of these weak features is somewhat like a deep decision tree. They ask a series of questions about what they have sensed from the wine that allow them to narrow in on a small set of possibilities, winnowing out wrong answers at each step. They have trained for hundreds or thousands of hours of tasting wine and building up this decision tree through many observations.

If you know how deep decision trees work, you know that they overfit very strongly to the training data. Notably, if you intentionally distort the data that you provide as input, by adding dye to turn white wine red, or by saying that the wine is from South Africa but it's actually from Australia, you cause their decision tree process to go down the entirely wrong path and produce a completely incorrect result. The model does not generalize well.

This is not at all how we would train a wine classifier if we were to design one from scratch, but our brains are not really capable of emulating a logistic regression model or an artificial neural network (ironically). They function much better with a discrete process like a decision tree.

I hope that helps you understand. I know it's much more satisfying to be contrarian and rail against the presumptuous wine snobs who claim to see the Emperor's clothes, but then again it's always easier to be cynical about anything you don't appreciate or understand.

Tegras can get into the 10-15W range which I guess explains why they're now considered automotive processors instead of mobile.

You can't scale linearly ad infinitum because eventually the communication (i.e. memory) cost gets too high.

This reminds me of a thought experiment I heard from -- if memory serves -- Scott Aaronson. The gist is that the fastest super-computer will be on the edge of a black hole. If you run any faster, there will be too much energy concentrated on a given area, thus creating a black hole. Similarly, when you run so many parallel devices (on GPU, CPU, etc) together, you will want to put the devices as close to each other as possible (speed of light limits the rate of communication). You then pump too much heat into a small area, and getting so much heat out is, among other things, a physics problem.
They would have profits if they stopped reinvesting the proceeds from retail into new businesses. They wouldn't need to increase their margins or reduce costs, just stop willfully adding new costs.
