I have really no idea what you're talking about with respect to water fountains and busses. Nobody cares who sits where on the bus, except don't take the handicap spots and don't give your bags their own seat.

On the other hand, if you're a white dude and you casually use the N-word, people are going to draw conclusions about you. That's not a Hacker News argument; it is a simple statement of fact, obviously backed up by the article we are commenting on. You can not like that fact all you want, but again, be aware, in the same way that people will draw conclusions about you for using the word, they will also draw conclusions about you for how loudly you protest the injustice of the fact that you can't safely use the word.

Okay, but malware "like" is not actually malware. If it turns out that it is, then ofcource why would anyone support a malware distributor.

>They are factually doing a lot of malware like behaviour in their installer and bundling software from questionable sources they have no control over.

Their explanation was that AV vendors flag their competitors, so now in the 'arms race', competitors have resorted to downloading individual bits from random URLs and then merging them together. While this would be a technique that malware software would use to possibly defeat security software, but hey, its also how torrents work. Tools can be used for good or bad.
Right, but the core reason they’re doing it that way is that it is a hard problem to solve practically speaking (rather than theoretically) without tanking perf.

Which it will anyway so WASM devs will end up having to be just as careful as JS devs about DOM & UI manipulations or run into the exact same problems.

At which point (the the same problems and issues) there’s really no reason to use anything other than JS for that portion of the application.

WASM is great, but it’s going to be for the parts of the web that JS is not good at dealing with - and that’s less than the crowd here on HN would like to believe.
Funny how saying an "art teacher" here leads to an automatic assumption that she's just some highschool teacher or similar. Turns out she's a professor.

It's very simple thing, if I don't get anyone I'll just make web version but probably will have to change Target users.

Here’s Why People Trust Human Judgment Over Algorithms (2015)
Thanks, I thought the OP's post was odd, as I'd never heard of Alabama being the center, and I've been more interested in spaceflight for the last 4 years. I don't have enough historical knowledge in this area to definitively rule out what was posted, and it seemed plausible that there was tension between solid and liquid development. I am currently readin Von Braun's 'Space Frontiers' and enjoy it. Any recommendations for a next book about the history of US rocketry?
CBT for insomnia helped me quite a lot, but it took months to get off a waiting list and in to a class. Mine was (I think, in retrospect) heavily linked to some specific work stresses, though, rather than a generalized life condition.

Bitcoin is a tool for tax evasion and money exchange on criminal assets. It turns out that also some geeks like to use it to bypass banks incompetence on international funds transfers but tax evasion is the use that drives BTC's value.

The cult is just a small visible part of it but is a pretty minor aspect of it. BTC would exist without the cultists as long as Russian or Saudi assets need to be transfered without too much oversight.

Well, the central question in my mind anyway, is whether FileZilla distributes malware. I don't see any data on that yet.. maybe it will come. Meanwhile I'm not going to join other HN members in calling people I don't know "scum".
Yes, I’m very familiar with host bindings.

Are they here yet? No. Are they performant yet? No idea because they don’t exist.

They’re always brought up by WASM advocates like they solve anything. But they don’t... because the problem isn’t accessing the DOM - it’s doing it performantly in your code and there’s nothing about host bindings that hint they’ll solve that problem any better than JS. So far the signs aren’t positive.
> BTC would exist without the cultists as long as Russian or Saudi assets need to be transfered without too much oversight

Sine-Wave Speech Demonstration https://youtu.be/EWzt1bI8AZ0?t=74

> Sine-wave speech is an intelligible synthetic acoustic signal composed of three or four time-varying sinusoids. Together, these few sinusoids replicate the estimated frequency and amplitude pattern of the resonance peaks of a natural utterance (Remez et al., 1981). The intelligibility of sine-wave speech, stripped of the acoustic constituents of natural speech, cannot depend on simple recognition of familiar momentary acoustic correlates of phonemes. In consequence, proof of the intelligibility of such signals refutes many descriptions of speech perception that feature canonical acoustic cues to phonemes. The perception of the linguistic properties of sine-wave speech is said to depend instead on sensitivity to acoustic modulation independent of the elements composing the signal and their specific auditory effects.

Mahabharata has some fiction and plot twists. However I have to say George R R Martin ruined it for me with Game of Thrones. Nothing beats his plot twists and story telling.

The Weiss brothers and HBO did a decent job with the series as well. It kind of connects and entire generation of viewers and book readers.
I don't disagree but isn't this true for the popularization of any technology. First it's just the nerds then come the less informed masses who don't fully understand the details along with the people trying to make money out of that fact.

Yes, independent implementations of patented works are covered by the patent.

BUT: patents are far more specific than just "a neural network to decode low-bitrate speech data with as much fidelity as possible to the original)". Starting with that goal, you are unlikely to recreate WaveNet's specific structure that is patented.

In fact, WaveNet describes a more general method to efficiently work with sound signals, somewhat comparable to convolutions for images. It's also not impossible to work with sound using alternative MM structures that are not patented, and might actually perform better than WaveNet.
and then the big green "Download FileZilla Client" button

It's funny, I've been using the Internet long enough that I almost instinctively ignore such buttons and look for the actual link. The bigger and more lurid they are, the more easily I ignore them --- just like automatically scrolling past banner ads and such, I suppose it comes with experience.

Of course sometimes the "too obvious" button is the right one, but that's been a minority.
Why is WASM a less complicated stack than, say angulartDart, flutter and Firebase?

IMO it seems like a step backwards, even if it’s better than JavaScript.

Unsurprising since the act was a public display of societal contempt for the legal system. Often the person to be lynched would be torn from a jail by the mob; demonstrating that the judicial system had no power when faced by the will of the mob.

If you've decided to do something dirty, sneaky, or underhanded, then the dialog on this forum should be required reading on how not to handle user questions. Any large software company experienced in being routinely evil would have done the following:

- shut down that thread at the first opportunity (it's their own forum so they are able to do that)

- as a corollary to the above, always run your own forums for questions, support, fandom, etc. so you can kill threads, guide the conversation, ban users, or redesign the site giving cover for losing history that you don't want remembered

- ban that particular user who was giving the best analysis; a real reason is not necessary -- just allege that he violated the terms & conditions

- have someone preview all questions and comments before they get posted in your forum; you know how some sites say, "Your comment is awaiting moderation"? -- you need to do that

- never give official answers to any questions (the founder and original developer was replying in his own name); instead, always reply as a fellow user, knowledgeable and helpful, but allowing the company a way to disown any replies given out

- don't even bother to reply to questions you don't want to answer; just ignore them (the current thread would surely have died out if the founder had not given those silly obfuscating answers); you can compose a crafty reply only if it becomes a big problem

- have a bunch of fake users (employees, PR department, outsourced agents) ready to pounce on, rebut, or ridicule the user providing the good analysis; similarly, have those fake users guide the discussion or completely change the topic

Some large software companies get away with far worse tricks and shenanigans, affecting millions of users, by following the principles above.
Two reasons:

1) they know how much everybody gets paid
2) they can keep secrets
Game security is not simply securing channels from eavesdropping or validating identity; it's about realtime distributed systems with eventual consistency and untrustworthy agents.

At some level, it is a matter of either validating all behaviour suggested by remote clients, not accepting anything more than controller inputs from remote clients, or throwing caution to the wind and letting them have at it. Each have their benefits and caveats.

And once you're hosting dedicated servers, why not go one farther and treat it as the SaaS it is?
"Too big to fail" makes it sound like a fixed-cost fallacy; we've spent $X billion on this project, so we had better not cancel it now!

But in fact it could also be the opposite of the fixed-cost fallacy. Project X is worth $1 billion, and is funded for $1 billion. A year later, the $1 billion is spent, but another $1 billion is needed to finish. At this point, your choice to spend $0 and get nothing or spend $1 billion and get the project done. The choice is obvious; we've already decided the project is worth $1 billion.

The problem is that a year later you face the same choice again. And then again. Provided the marginal increment is always $1 billion, you'll always agree to it, because the project is worth that.

Do you have any sources for your claim that Bitcoin is used for large Russian/Saudi assets? It seems like the volume of BTC traded for illicit purposes is large in aggregate, but I'm not sure I've seen evidence of individual transfers being big. There are many ways that bad or unscrupulous actors can transfer money now that are actually less risky than Bitcoin.

Exactly: No crypto in it's current state is liquid enough for any serious moving of money. Slipping, fees (and potential hedging costs) will eat you if you need to to move serious money.

As such it only works for entities who don't have vast amounts of capital, eg. people who can't afford an army of tax lawyers to create complex legal tax evasion schemes to pay less tax than the rest of us.

> The guidelines do not suggest that the ACLU should not represent a speaker because his speech causes harm. Rather, they “attempt to identify the kinds of questions that ought to be considered, the processes for their consideration, and the measures that can help mitigate the harms to competing interests.”

In other words, it does exactly that, but buried under a mountain of weasel words.

Direct link to the leaked document in question:

http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/20180621ACL...

Even taken at face value, it states that the "harmful impact" of speech in a given case should be a factor weighing against the ACLU choosing that case to defend – just not "dispositive". By itself, that's not necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, it's a description of how the ACLU has presumably always operated to some extent. It would be unrealistic to expect them or anyone else to be completely blind to ideology; that's just not human nature.

But considering the context of when and why that document was promulgated, combined with the wordy and defensive feel of its writing, it's hard to escape the conclusion that someone is trying to have their cake and eat it too. It's a change under the guise of a clarification. They'll still defend speech they hate… just a bit less often. And personally, I might even approve of that change; it's not like white supremacists' speech is especially vulnerable to government suppression at the moment (quite the opposite). But the blog post's energetic rebuttal of the idea that the document could possibly be trying to change anything just feels, well, dishonest.
One my pet peeves running a small professional services agency in Shanghai editing English resumes, creating LinkedIn Profiles, interview coaching and similar academic support, is when a prospect comes in all hot and heavy. They love the description of the service, understand my lengthy business career brings something special, have seen my pricing table on our Taobao shop or I have explained to them, then ask for discounts up to 50%. What part of this is a legitimate business, with embedded costs and the need to derive a solid ROR do they not understand?

I find, across the board, Amazon often feels like their incentives don't align with those of a customer.

They're always trying to push Prime (and to a lesser extent their video and music service) which represents extra clicks to sale. It's a significant auto-renewing commitment, not a $5 casual impulse add-on-- repeatedly dangling it in front of me and hoping I misclick into it borders on a dark pattern. I'd love to see a big one-click "I am not interested do not bother me further" button.

Everything about their checkout funnel is contrary to modern best practices. Fields are oddly arranged compared with most other ecommerce sites, and once you reach a certain point, the normal navigation disappears. I guess this is designed to trap the user with no way out but purchase, but it makes it harder to compare items, especially when you're trying to find out on shipping (see below).

Shipping is a mess to deal with. "You need to spend $25 for free shipping, but these items don't count". "These items can ONLY be purchased with an order of other items that hit the free-shipping threshold." "These items can only be purchased with Prime." There's no easy "estimate shipping" button without going several pages into checkout. These sort of complexities probably are engineered to steer customers towards buying the items fulfilled by them to avoid the pitfalls.

I'd also wonder if their brands "accidentally" do well because of how bad their product categorization is. Nobody else is selling AmazonBasics products, so the single listing gets all the ratings and sales volume. Meanwhile, the name brand has 30 slightly different poorly arranged listings all overlapped.

the referenced article from Yale Law Journal is very interesting - and discuss amazon in context of anti-trust laws, what is wrong with those laws and some solutions.

snip snip ( https://www.yalelawjournal.org/note/amazons-antitrust-parado... )

"in some ways, the story of Amazon’s sustained and growing dominance is also the story of changes in our antitrust laws. Due to a change in legal thinking and practice in the 1970s and 1980s, antitrust law now assesses competition largely with an eye to the short-term interests of consumers, not producers or the health of the market as a whole; antitrust doctrine views low consumer prices, alone, to be evidence of sound competition. By this measure, Amazon has excelled; it has evaded government scrutiny in part through fervently devoting its business strategy and rhetoric to reducing prices for consumers. Amazon’s closest encounter with antitrust authorities was when the Justice Department sued other companies for teaming up against Amazon.23 It is as if Bezos charted the company’s growth by first drawing a map of antitrust laws, and then devising routes to smoothly bypass them. With its missionary zeal for consumers, Amazon has marched toward monopoly by singing the tune of contemporary antitrust."

I would expect anyone in a professional position to be receiving whatever the going market rate is.. which will likely not correlate to a chain of progressively higher pay as you go up the local hierarchy.

This, at least has been the case for each of the SMBs that I've worked in which managers are purely non-technical and hired for their ability to manage people and projects (can't afford to not have Engineers doing engineering).

At one place, my direct sup was expected to wear both the manager and Engineer hat (being technical). The next two layers up were middle managers who only managed. Neither layer made more than anyone in engineering.

FWIW, I read the article and found lots of hand-waving. Strong counter-examples came quickly to mind for most of it's claims.
