What's a good affordable router well supported by Tomato/OpenWRT, these days? (put differently: 2018's version of the Linksys WRT54G :)

EDIT: The article doesn't explicitly say that alternative firmwares like Tomato & OpenWRT are not exploitable, but it seems to me the rate at which they are maintained make them less easy targets. So this new flaw made me think now is a good time to replace my crappy router and its unmaintained vendor firmware with something more solid running Tomato/OpenWRT. Disagreements?
https://privacy.com/ kinda does that :)
US First Amendment law is quite complex, and there's a lot of annoying little details to consider.

Essentially, designating a public forum means that the only restrictions are "time, place, and manner", and restrictions must be content-neutral. Furthermore, even the time/place/manner restrictions have to follow some level of reasonableness, with the exact level dependent on mildly arcane details, and I don't know the exact details here. The safest thing to do is say that he can't block trolls, because it's always easiest to default to assume that blocking speech is unconstitutional.

First Amendment rights are surprisingly far-ranging--it's unconstitutional for a city to deny neo-Nazis the right to march in a neighborhood of Holocaust survivors.
Then maybe the government should not use twitter for any official statements? Why should they be allowed to get around the rules by using twitter?
Your app probably got removed because from what I gather you're a scammer. This isn't the first time a scam app with massive recurring subscriptions was banned. https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2017/06/12/apple-d...

> A mouthpiece yes, but an official way to "make policy" no

Sorry but you are wrong. Trump's administration has stated that his tweets are official statements. Meaning, he can't block people who reply to his tweets.

Judging by my billing history, it looks like I signed up the same day it was announced back in 2013. I must be grandfathered in. I'd happily pay $5/mo for Feedbin if the grandfathered plans were removed. In terms of cost per hour of use, it's probably the service I pay the least for.
That doesn't seem comparable. Netflix and YouTube both have specific monetization systems, where a cut of the revenue goes to the content creator.

Facebook doesn't seem to have anything like that. You can pay to appear on there, you cannot get paid to appear on Facebook.

Numerous comments here on HN suggest that this is due to lack of confidence in the startup/small business survivability.

If I am going to build a business, I would like to be reasonably sure that the tools I'm using to build it won't suddenly close if they lack funding.

Of course, this is by no means any guarantee, as there's also the case where a startup is so successful that some bigger company will buy it and close down the service anyway.

This was my first thought as well - it seems like a thought out risk mitigation strategy that plays well from a PR perspective.

It's a savvy move, and to your point likely escapes the typical drivers awareness. So at what point does regulation get in the mix as Lyft or other ride sharing companies take direct action that signals risk acknowledgement or indemnification?
>This sort of matches what an API is in web land, if you squint a little. If someone were to ask me what that definition describes, "API" is about the last thing I'd say.

I struggle with defining simple things like this, and I think what author offers is a good generic way to define API. This definition includes any actual way I can imagine one can get (programmatic) access to generic service that does not belong to them. I would really like to know how you would define it though.

Hmm, this is interesting but not completely clear.

In this paradigm, what's the difference between a platform and a tool?
Twitter will respond with deprecation for Blocking in favor of a new feature. Ignore. which will only be available for celebrities.
But is it his personal account anymore? It's a verified account with the description of "45th President of the United States of America". When he speaks (tweets) he speaks as the POTUS. Doesn't matter if it's from the @potus account or @realdonaldtrump account.
The average Swede isn't upper-middle class, at least not by Swedish standards. If you are upper-middle class in Sweden you have a lot of freedom that upper-middle class people in the US don't necessarily have.

In Sweden you can study cost-free. You can get a second, or third, degree from reputable school, even online. That makes it easy to change careers or to stay competitive.

If you are established in Sweden you are going to have very high financial security and low living costs. Almost anyone that is upper-middle class in Sweden can take a year off to, say, start a business without any major consequences.

Just in general upper-middle class people in Sweden have a lot more quality of life and time. 40 hour weeks, employment protection, flat hierarchies, short commute, long vacations, summer homes etc.

I personally have nothing against people moving to the US. Especially if you are middle-class and in your twenties it can be a good idea. But as soon as you have kids your costs are going to rise significantly, your opportunities are going to decrease or both.

I would be interesting to hear what you think is better in the US for someone upper-middle class.
Maybe that's just a different kind of life, I guess?

Interesting too since Twitter makes all tweets public, thus an incognito window could still see those tweets. Which means that it's more about account notification and other tweet prioritization "features" of the platform that are related to getting news/information.

If this is the case, what does this mean for twitter's algorithms in deciding what to show you first - a democrat you follow or a republic you follow that both talk about a topic you care about (for example cotton picking in Texas)... Would this by any chance have an effect on that?
Block also makes it so people can't harass you. I think this is an important distinction.

By saying you can't block someone the judge is also saying you can't ignore someone who is harassing you.

Anyone who isn't logged in can still see it. They can just open an incognito window. They aren't really blocked from viewing his tweets.

It's unfortunate that the 2 are tied together into the same function. This would be a much simpler and less controversial issue then.

Correct, Twitter is not. The judge made no ruling regarding the functionality of Twitter. What the judge ruled on is what a government employee is allowed to do in respect to using the tool. You are still welcome to block people. Trump is not.
They already have this, it just doesn't block accounts from seeing what you've posted

Doesn't it just mean you have to click one button, "logout", to read the tweets?
They count as official statements by the POTUS. No different if he were to go on TV, Radio, etc and make an announcement/proclamation.

These statements can have legal power behind them such as declassifying documents.

That's how they maintain content that you, as someone who prefers heavily moderated forums, find interesting. Most people aren't you.
> And given that blocking is part and parcel to the app, it would seem like everyone is buying into the terms of the environment when they start using it

That isn't how this works. Just because Twitter allows people to block stuff, doesn't mean Trump gets to block stuff.

In a "normal" government, they'd pick a vendor with software that would let them make official policy statements in a way that complied with the laws around people having the right to reach out to their government officials.

Just 'cause twitter's software lets him do something doesn't make actually doing that thing legal, moral, or ethical.

This judgement makes perfect sense and is completely reasonable when you remember that technology is a mere tool designed to serve humans. Just cause you can do something in a tool doesn't make it right.
If you want to see a version of /r/popular with all subreddits, there's /r/all. /r/popular removes NSFW subbreddits, and subreddits that users often filter from /r/all (like sports subreddits).
Our SaaS consumes Twitter data through GNIP API (company they bought a couple years ago). Twitter was the first data provider to require reviews of all the usage scenarios and they are very serious about enforcing the correct use. Twitter also publishes compliance feed which all downstream services are required to respect. E.g. if a user removes their twit or profile we remove their data from our service.

We had to negotiate with other social networks to provide similar functionality.
I think they mean "adaptive" in that it adapts to changing circumstances.
Online reviews usually tend towards the popular opinion.
So? Their desires do not trump the rights of everyone else.

I think that is how it is for most software developers. Instead of dwelling on the unfulfilling aspects of your job, concentrate on your blessings, that you have a very in-demand and high paying job that requires very little effort to perform on your part.

This is a very interesting blog post and some great engineering, congrats!

I fail to understand the following aspects though, maybe you can clarify them a bit:

* How does a director recover from a failure? From my understanding it would require fetching all job IDs from jobs that are in an active state via the job transactions table (which sounds expensive) and then loading the associated meta-data from the jobs table? Is that correct?

* Do you assume that the director will have archived all non-completed jobs when deleting the database? Do you try to gracefully shut down the director first then? From my understanding it seems you perform a "drop table" statement on a given database and then regenerate the tables, but this would require being sure that all the jobs have been processed or archived.

Impressive! Where do you look for new clients/projects? Do you contact possible clients and offer them your services or do the contact you based on your blog/consulting page?
Yes, I whole-heartedly agree, the user should own their PII and who has access to it, but the KYC and AML checks still have to happen. Having a provider do it is also great, but Civic (as one of your examples) has explicitly stated they can't do it in international low-income contexts, and they are unlikely to ever be able to in a way that makes financial sense.

That's why folks in this space need to be thinking about how to solve this problem. There's not a clear, easy answer (or if there is it has not been communicated out enough otherwise everyone would be using it).
Isn't that mostly because, despite being given 2 years to implement, nobody's really bothered to do anything until the last second?
> He can't just block citizens from reading his policy statements. That isn't how US democracy works.

if that was the crux of the issue, the ruling would be "stop making policy statements on twitter." The vast majority of US citizens don't use twitter and a sizable portion don't even have access to a twitter-capable device.

I’m not sure why you’re doing mental gymnastics on this one. There is a simple answer.

300,000,000 - US population

$12,000 - Your UBI amount

Total cost: 3.6 trillion dollars.

Projected US tax collection for 2019: 3.4 trillion. That’s not the US budget, just the amount not borrowed to pay for the budget.

Cost of social programs that UBI would replace (in theory):
2.3 trillion. (SS, Medicare, other). I don’t think UBI could replace SS though.

So you need to increase tax revenues about 33% if you look at it in the most favorable way.

Then, when the bottom falls out for those who needed the full benifit of the programs you replaced, you will either bring those programs back or increase the UBI payment for everyone, which is easy to do because we’d just vote ourselves more money, because money is free.

This is quite funny. Not the website itself, but the comments on here. And it proves the point so well! The website in question is a seemingly obviously quick project that someone whipped up quickly on the hatchapps website.

> A key example is politics. If /r/science suppresses global warming denialism, I'd say this is all well and good. The lion's share of global warming denialism is simply a misleading misrepresentation of science. However, let's suppose hypothetically that /r/science started to suppress all mention of studies showing there is some influence of sexual dimorphism, this would be ideologically driven bad science.

That's not an example that's a strawman.

I'm not sure what the author is trying to convey, and why he calls that conservatism.

I'm not sure how social policies favouring good social and emotional health for people to enable them to have prosperous and stable relationships have anything to do with conservatism. I for one would not qualify such policies like that.

My cynical belief is that the author possesses much more "taboo" conservative beliefs which he justifies with this argument, but hopefully I'm wrong.

It reminds me of the "Sears could have been Amazon" post from 2007[1]. I don't know if it's selection bias, but asian companies seem to be ridiculously diverse (Mitsubishi makes cars, elevators, air conditioners, and is a bank.

It's important to have an audience, customers.

I have only "finished" 1 project enough for re-use (publishing) when I didn't have an audience. The docs, examples, build, etc. took as long as the actual code.

It's so unproductive the way we make "personal responsibility" vs "victimhood" a binary choice.
