I agree with the Yahoo vibe. You know the left wall of navigation items on the desktop browser version of Facebook? That shows eg: Events, Marketplace, Groups, Pages, Friends List, On This Day, Find Friends, Photos, and other similar junk.

It looks just like a portal straight out of 1999. It comes across as generic, soulless - a product trying to be everything that ends up being nothing in particular.

Here's the most recent Yahoo version of that left strip of be-everything-and-nothing portalism icons (archive.org stray example from 2014):

I consume a lot of content from YouTube. It's fun, mostly enjoyable (can easily ignore the trash comments). Facebook is an extremely mediocre product by comparison, it's not much fun at all. I use YouTube regularly to watch video that might include everything from news, movie trailers, documentaries, vblogs, entertainment show clips, sports clips, speaker forums, and so on. Facebook by contrast, I consume with a bare minimum type approach: I use it as little as necessary.

The only two complaints I have about YouTube's product, is the quality of the comments, and there are still too many fake automated junk videos on there (or otherwise the: you won't believe what happened next junk). Most video search results require a bit of filtering through that.
"business" is a pretty broad topic, but offhand I'd say start buy finding a cheap used copy of $whatever edition of a standard college "Intro to Business" text book and read through that. Since you aren't looking to use it for a for-credit class, you don't have to worry about getting the latest edition, so you should be able to find something cheap, on the order of $10.00 or less. Something like this (or equivalent)

Do the same thing for a basic "intro to business law" book, an "intro to marketing" book, and a "strategic management" book.

This seems like a strange comparison. Teens have eschewed FB in favor of Instagram and Snapchat for years. My feeling is that YouTube is simply becoming more popular and Facebook is becoming less. This is like saying that "America's Teens are Choosing Buzzfeed Over Facebook." They aren't even in the same category. The writing is on the wall for FB as a web property.
After reading through the comments I realize I do not miss windows.
What does that have to do with the simple statement of fact “they didn’t pay him”?

Whether they were required to or not doesn’t matter at all. They didn’t pay him. They could have payed him even if they were not required to by law.
For Rust and Go, they're very new languages, so multiple implementations are going to be hard to come by. Although there is gccgo. Some of those you listed though have a lot of different implementations.

Ruby has the Ruby MRI, JRuby, among others. [0] Additionally it spawned a lot of Ruby-like languages on different platforms.

Python has the standard Python (Pick 2 or 3), PyPy, MicroPython, unladen_swallow, Stackless Python, IronPython, Jython, among others [1].

PHP has had the reference implementation, Zend Engine, HipHop and HHVM (Both from Facebook), among others [2].

As another comment mentioned, Javascript has V8, SpiderMonkey, Chakra, and JavascriptCore, all with their own quirks. [3]

Google Groups is the pain point of using GSuite. It's not HIPAA compliant, so only about a third of the company can use groups and everyone else uses workarounds. Security controls as mentioned in the article. Really I just want aliases, not aliases and forums combined into one thing. Glad to hear that Groups is being worked on. I've been seriously considering switching to office 365 primarily because of groups

44 with a 9 month old? I feel for you :). I consider myself a late starter by having my first kid seven and a half years ago (I am also 44 right now). Many times I've considered that this would definitely be easier if I were twenty years younger. Wouldn't be nearly so financially stable however, so that's a trade off.

I'm totally with you on how awesome kids are. They are hard work, expensive, and ... totally worth it. Wouldn't give up my boy & girl for anything. Ambivalent about other people's kids, but I try to be polite.
At one point early in the Mac's history, Apple marketing tried to tell the world that SCSI was pronounced "Sexy", rather than "Scuzzy". I guess they'd finally been told the name of the machine's hard drive port and someone got unhappy.

This attempted name change went over about as well as you would expect.

[I think they could have capitalized on the SE/x and done a really good marketing campaign if they'd not been terrified. On the other hand, opinions like this are one of the reasons I'm an engineer and not a marketing type... :-) ]
More data and surveillance are transforming justice systems
You seem to be implying that raising questions about how we do things is silly because regulation would be overwhelmingly complicated and infeasible.

However, if it's a public company, (which is just one possible abstract entity) then there are all sorts of rules and complications when there are one or more large investors.* Given these rules and regulations exist, it's not unreasonable to consider whether they should be changed slightly in pursuit of the public good.

*I'm thinking of stuff I've read about CBS v. Redstone in Matt Levine's column, where the board of CBS was trying to get rid of its controlling shareholder. They seem to have failed, but it was a fight.

I've recently paid for a code signing cert from Comodo, and I'm still stuck in the process.

In order to verify your company phone number, it has be shown in any of the links like : (www.dnb.com) or (www.hoovers.com) including local/national registration agencies and reputable third party databases.. So please update the Company name,address and Phone number in any one of the above web site.

My company is registered in Norway, and having the company's email and domain listed in the national company registry does not help. I'm currently in SE Asia, and I have to go back to to this:

[...] you can send an attestation letter signed by your attorney, Certified Public Accountant or Latin Notary (where legally recognized) verifying the telephone number. You can download sample text for the letter [...]

We need Let's Encrypt for code signing. But how can we automate identity validation? Verify the e-mail address or phone number with a national registry, where possible?

It depends on what you mean by failure. If you build a MySpace/AOL/Netscape and 15 years later it "fails", most people will celebrate you. However if you spend three years in your garage building a CRM tool that never launches, that will be uninteresting to most and therefore not celebrated.
So under your system, big blockbuster productions would have the longest copyright term.

I'd like to try exactly the opposite: when a work has been seen by a million people, it becomes public domain — whether that takes one year or 100 years.

Why? Because when you make a derivative work of Harry Potter or Star Wars you are not thinking that you can hoodwink your audience into believing that yours is the original, rather you're writing for a cultural context that assumes that people know the original. And to me that's exactly the underlying idea behind fair use.

Ask HN: Should I stay on my personal GitHub account or move it to an org?
I have a relatively popular site where the code is stored on github and it has > 100 stars. I'm the primary contributor. While I'm not looking for jobs at the moment... down the line I feel like keeping the project on my personal github account is more beneficial (to me) than moving it to an organization... but I don't know if that's important or not.

I'd like to get people more involved in contributing code, but I don't want to limit my future job prospects... does it matter? Am I overthinking it?
You could start by addressing his point and not appealing to "experts."
There may be issues that go unannounced. Not sure if this was a regular thing, but I got a train from Grand Central a while back and the trains & platform were so packed I could only get on the 3rd or 4th train that came.

I'm also not sure if all lines have real time info yet, my line only got it within the last 12 months, and when I played with their external API, the data was of dubious quality.

I'm not sure how much lasting value this app really has, but that's probably why it is an incubator project, rather than part of Maps.

I started with BBS in the early 90s (I was technically a pre-teen) and progressed to IRC shortly after... But, I _really_ remember when ICQ first showed up in my school and then even more so when AIM followed it. It's a bit silly to say today, I guess, but those were actually defining moments when I retrospect on the popular technology during that period of my life.

So, what has replaced instant messaging _in a meaningful way_ for teenagers? I hear Snapchat, but I don't think that it's actually filling the gap. I've heard folks say YikYak before, or whatever the fuck it was called, but that app was a pile and I'm pretty sure it died anyway over privacy violations.

What's out there that is directly connecting teens online today? Please tell me they're not all walled in to Facebook without any alternatives...
Ah, right, Qt wasn't GPL but it still "infected" apps with a copyleft-like provision.
That's a very complicated way to generate electricity from methane. But why do we want to do that? Isn't it better to get our electricity from PV, and reserve methane as a chemical feedstock?
The MTA's own SubwayTime app provides real-time train times based on the train's current locations. (This is new in the last year.) It even works when trains are running on different lines, changing which stations they stop at, etc.

I'm struggling to imagine what "live alerts from other riders" can provide on top of that?

Even for things like if a subway station is particularly crowded, or a train is particularly crowded... seems like that could be inferred from the train locations and average activity per-station for that day of the week.
That's not true though. We have very little volume installs and since the EV, there has has not been one of these messages..
I think the type of information you can get from other Pigeon users about delays would at least be more granular than what the MTA provides. The notices from the MTA are often late, sometimes wrong, and cover large areas. It might be useful to know where the bulk of the delay is on a line (at some interchange? in an area with close-together stations? river tunnels?).
Cats also do that, only to a greater extent: "Meow! I got stuck in a tree, call the fire brigade."

Then allow them to write reviews like normal, but the review would actually be visible only for them in their trial period.

> Amazing that companies used to build such sturdy products that they could be cheaply fixed 15+ years after they were sold...

The award for most durable SLR has to go to the Pentax Spotmatic. The first ones were released in 1964, and they are seemingly indestructible.

Even the exposure meter is a future-proof design; it was designed for mercury (1.35V) batteries but the circuit was designed in a way that modern LR44 (1.5V) cells "just work"!

Nikon lenses from the same era generally need a CLA because the grease used on their focusing helicoids gums up over the years and makes focusing feel dry, bumpy, and just plain nasty. I have come across some Super Takumar (Pentax) examples that are moldy enough that they would probably grow mushrooms if you left them outside soon the shady side of a tree, but the focusing feel is always smooth and perfect.

The only lens I have that feels better is a Voigtlander and it cost $500 vs $10 for an ugly but usable Super Takumar lens.

Cory Doctorow: The Engagement-Maximization Presidency
Ask HN: Secure Webassembly crypto?
Hi HN,

I was looking into the possibility of using something like the noise framework for secure channel encryption between a webassembly in-browser client and other peers.

Of course getting the code to compile and work properly in wasm is a challenge but the larger concern I have is cryptographic security:

1) If erasing memory referenced by a pointer in a native compiled program more or less guarantees removal of that data from memory without accounting for "cold boot" forensic recovery, will that same procedure translate just as well for a webassembly compiled program? I am concerned about in-memory persistence of secret values after user logout or tab closure.

2) How significant of a concern is a side channel attack? Specifically by code running in a different tab.

Apologies in advance if this type or format of a question isn't proper for HN. I have seen several good posts about crypto and webassembly on HN which is why I am trying to take advantage of your opinions. Also, since webassembly is getting more and more popular maybe this could help me and other folks from making incorrect assumptions when attempting to writr secure code.
> Leverage reduces equity value

Not at all:

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Borrowing money adds an equal amount to Assets and Liabilities. The difference remains the same.
Excise is a bit different to tariffs though. Even if you produced those items in Singapore you pay the same excise.

The 20% on cars isn't to protect the (non-existent) car manufacturing industry of Singapore, but to reduce demand for cars.

If my memory serves correctly [1] releasing the source proactively is not a requirement; the requirement is that the source be made available upon request. So presumably they wouldn't have to do this until someone demanded it.

[1] I'm not entirely sure which clause I picked this up from (it's been a few years), but this clause I can right now seems to say the same thing: Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that [...] you receive source code or can get it if you want it [...]
I think I would prefer a role-play / what-if scenario for the reason that I simply don't care about revisiting certain types of work experiences. As a result I am likely to not remember details and even more likely to be unenthusiastic in the retelling.

What about app security? I gave up on Android years ago. Is it still the case that apps expect to be given most/all permissions in order to function? If so then no thanks.
Your website linked from GitHub is 503 :(
Good idea for a game though. I'm thinking waves of pesky kids that require warning shots from the porch (you lose points if you actually hit them, but you get more points the closer the warning shot goes), then periodic breaks where you can set lawn-traps, and then bonus targets who've come to ask your kids on a date.

All made more difficult because you're not allowed to stop rocking your chair.

I think it's done this way as a compromise to the current copyright holders.

Disney can and will easily pay 100,000 per year for all their productions in the vault, so no change in the status quo there.

However, most sci-fi books from the 70s which are already out of print, will become public domain, and you can now write "fan-fiction" for it and get paid without having to seek out the original copyright holders (if they still even exist).

It's questionable if Asimov's estate will pay 100,000 per year for each of his short stories, and lots of those make fantastic premises. If we didn't have eternal copyright, they'd make up a part of our literary landscape like Romeo and Juliet, or fairy tales do---something that can be freely alluded to, or redone.

You are correct. Also, it's only a requirement to give the source code to someone you have given the binary to. It's not the case that someone can say "Oh you used GPL code in your software, you have to give me the source code". In fact, not even the author of the original source code can demand the changes unless they also received a binary from downstream.

That's correct. When a company's assets are worth more than the company as a business, it is appropriate to reallocate those assets to something more productive.
If you just read SEC reports on public companies at random (weird, I know), you will find a bunch of tiny non-Delaware companies that have no idea what they want to be when they grow up - they are just evaluating different businesses to try, and often have a history of different ventures that failed. Sometimes people do a reverse merger with one of them as a convenient way of going public without a regular IPO. It all seems quaint compared to the crypto craze, but anyway, it is kind of similar to what you're describing.
I keep it mainly to try to track people down for my real estate work. Also I have a couple of friends who seem to insist on messaging me through FB instead of email. So when I go onto FB I always go directly to facebook.com/messages/ and skip the news feed. I don’t even remember the last time I saw the FB feed.
Facebook page reviews is a good example of this.

~ Khayri R.R. Woulfe
Metacritic does this for games, music, tv and film.

Aggregating what they regard as reliable reviewers is pretty reasonable.

For general products it's much harder. There is less of a market. But perhaps it'll come. Aggregate Ars Technica, Tom's Hardware and some other hardware review sites maybe?

You could do per-state licensing as happens in other professions.

So perhaps, California would have the highest standards with Google/Facebook employees pushing them to do so to create barriers to entry, but Mississippi would end up with the bare minimum.

I wouldn't find it terrible if Software Engineering were licensed, in the same way that law is---with the board consisting of prominent practicing members of the existing population, and all current members grandfathered in so it only affects upcoming generations.

Crates You Should Know: The wasm tools–wasm intro, wasm-bindgen, and wasm-pack
What's even more problematic is when you get into the shady stuff. I believe it's clear that there are things that people have to develop anonymously for their own safety. Examples include PC tools to reverse engineer stuff, console save file editors, etc.

However, precisely because those areas are so shady, it would help if there was a way to get code signing certificates of a lower pedigree but with pseudonymity. The shadier things get, the more likely there will be knockoffs with malware. The more likely there will be knockoffs with malware, the more likely some inexperienced user will accidentally get the (ill-signed) malware knockoff.
Its a good idea really. Many business' don't record instant messenger because of its private nature.
