But what you call “the left” is this disjointed set of — not even ideologies but desires. Guarantee that not everyone in BLM is an LGBTQ ally, for example. Nor is everyone who is upset about college tuition pro-choice politically. But Peterson lumps it all into two camps: one that is the defender of life as we know it, and the other.

But all his definition of “the left” means is that people who are afraid of losing their right to exist within the dominance of the white Christian patriarchy. Cause let me tell you, when it happens to you on an individual level, it’s not the kind of thing you forgive or forget easily.

The problem is that one downvote grays a comment, which makes it appear "fishy" and influences readers/voters. Your own comments are never grayed, so I hide the point indicators with UBlock (as well as the total in the header) and have no idea when somebody downvotes my thoughts. Also, I upvote any non-trollish gray comment, out of principle.
That was more of a YOU don't want to go in there. They might be way more used to it in terms of built up resistance.
Isn't the point of this article to say that prominent Republicans are being shadow banned? Not sure why OP to my comment asked if only (R) congressmen were calling people "spics." Is no one going to downvote a comment that clearly tries to obfuscate the original intention of the article? This is why karma on HackerNews is the worst form of cryptocurrency.
Well, if you look the wrong way, you have a risk of having your children ripped away from you.
I don't see it in the text of the article. Can you quote what you specifically are talking about?
Because of an irrational refusal to accept the fact that you're never going to read them.
It must be scaring the shit out of FB that their growth is stalled in the US & receding in Europe. That can't look good for future revenue - essentially makes any revenue growth in those regions extremely difficult and puts a head wind on the entire company. This of course is reflected in their.... 1.3% jump upwards in share price. Gotta love them shares.
Why is it dropping by 25%? I’m buying after hours but it just wiped off 150B in market cap over decent earnings. Beat eps, similar growth, slight dip in Europe expected, no dip in Canada or US.
> yes, it does serve a purpose, but at the expense of your users

That has always been the tradeoff of captcha.

The other side of the equation is how relevant/useful is the data submitted? So long as the captcha isn't unreasonably difficult for a human, I would rather my government not spend resources to follow through with every single spammy form submission.
This may be cynical of me, but: "When you're going to break the law, don't leave a physical record."

While I avoid engaging in such, I've directly observed it, and been on the receiving end -- what was done to me was illegal, but it was a 1:1 with no witnesses.

There's a useful purpose in mentioning this. Particularly for people newer and less experienced in the workforce: When co-workers and bosses won't email, IM, or otherwise write with regard to a topic. Nor address it in a group. When someone out of the blue invites you into an office, meeting room, or other private space to discuss it.

Ask yourself, "Why?"

This is one of those cases where your intuition may catch on and manifest, first. If something seems "off" about a topic or line of communication, consider it more closely.

Also works when dealing with third parties. For example, if you are dealing with a salesperson who only ever "talks" about features. Especially 1:1. Best to verify what you're being told, elsewhere, and agree to nothing until you do. (And, if you can, find someone else to deal with who's more straightforward. Not "friendly", but direct and forthright in their communications.)
Facebook hasn't been the best for a long time. It's easy to get lost behind rosy quarterly numbers and miss the forest for the trees. The platform has been on a decline and it's starting to show in its numbers.
I have a "general" window open where I have my tabs for mail, calendar, chat, and a few sites like HN and reddit pinned, and the rest of the tabs end up being links I open from those sites or elsewhere, just random things I would like to read or am reading. Then I'll have another couple windows open that are more purpose-specific, like I might be working on a particular project at work and all the tabs there will be related to it.

But overall I'd say In my case my high tab count is mostly due to laziness. I have tons of tabs open that I may never look at again, but just haven't cleaned up. You might say "well, that's dumb, you're wasting memory and should clean up those unneeded tabs", but I'd retort, "why should I do manual work when the computer can clearly just deal with it for me so I don't have to care?"

This seems explainable.

Humans typically learn art like GANs learn. We start as children making things and the adults, teachers, etc start grading and encouraging/discouraging us, providing the feedback we learn from.

As we grow up, we all to some degree learn what art we like, and what good art is. But some people learn this better than others, and some people learn more finely tuned discrimination than others. One doesn't need to be an artist to have good taste.

It seems like if you are a non-artistic adult who learned exceptional taste, then you are held back by only technique and creativity. If you are creative and/or lucky when you first decide to try to make something, even without technique you'll make much more progress than the average person. Then, so encouraged by the progress, you'll focus obsessively on technique and improvement.

Once it starts, this learning process can proceed much more quickly than the typical child learning process, because it doesn't have to wait for others to provide the feedback.

Et voila, adult sudden savant.
And good sleep, low stress, and proper hydration. Working out is ideal but hard to keep up which is why a lot of people quit the gym shortly after the new year resolution rush.
I think a lot of people use downvote on things they disagree with. I personally try to downvote things that I see that are detrimental to good conversation not things I disagree with. If I disagree with you but it's good conversation you get an upvote. I like differing opinions. I like productive conversation.

I probably use downvoting similar to flagging. Swearing, cursing, being rude, etc get downvoted.

I once did an experiment. Where I took one of the bottom comments and copied his post word for word minus the part that could be considered rude (with his permission) to see how much one sentence could throw off a comment. It is one of my higher rated comments. I'll have to go back and look it up.

Being unable to control a lock from multiple threads isn't a great API either. Per file descriptor^H^Hion is closer to what I'd call ideal. It gives you a locking context that can map m:n to threads. Even if it is a bit fussy with things like fseek.
Oracle has had linear regression for well over a decade now.
Evidently so, someone just came by and cheekily downvoted every reply.
We should probably look at the exact tweets that supposedly got them shadowbanned before jumping to conclusions as to whether or not they engaged in "troll-like behavior".

Why on request but not public? Why plan but not have it so from the beginning?

In my opinion, it's the intent of true openness (even if there are no guarantees of stability or availability) is what matters, not the promise of eventual availability.

Yes if you trust your device users to have advanced technical skills or if you control both the device and the machines that show the web interface, you can do a lot - in that case, the easiest solution would be to install a custom CA cert - or use your own client and ditch browsers completely.

However, my scenario was for situations where you don't want to modify the viewing device.

The advantages of web interfaces is that you get a complex GUI for your device without significant overhead on the device and without any requirements on the viewing machine. You can use an arbitrary PC or phone to access it.

If HTTP were to go, that would change: Either you restrict which machine can view the GUI (by requiring a specific resolver and/or CA) or you add the overhead of maintaining and updating the certificates and domains.

An example would be a (non-cloud) security camera or network printer. Those devices typically have a complex web interface for administration and data access - however, they are typically used within a LAN and there is no technical need why they need to access the internet. Indeed, when misconfigured, they can even be vulnerabilities.
Yes, I do. Posts that are well-thought-out, some with references and great detail, are turning gray simply because some militant readers don't agree. The posts themselves rarely, it seems, violate site guidelines.

This site is becoming more and more like Reddit every day, and it's super sad to me. I don't come here for repeated political arguments and discussion. This is Hacker News, not r/politics.

In fact, I've started searching out gray-text posts because often those seem to be of higher quality than normal black posts. That's a bad sign.
If you have even medium complexity you're better off using something like React with Babel or Typescript. Much more sane way of event handling than JQuery, and no mucking with HTML by hand.

I agree with JQuery for the most simple sites, but React+transpiler will give you much better compatibility
The irony of your utterly benign comment being downvoted within minutes... a good demonstration of the problem.
Look at the extreme polarization in politics. How has the Democrats described the poor & working class males which is a large voting group for Trump?

Polarization in politics is exceptional harmful because it reduces the impact of good laws. So long the general perception is that the Democrats view poor & working class males as "the other" and "evil" the lower the chance is that any law will impact voting patterns.
Remember why you love to code
I feel the same way as you. It seems to be the nature of all good forums or anything that has a concentration of folks that create good conversation. The good people move on to other things and/or the newer people come in, typically lacking the technical or ideological slant that would have brought them into the fold earlier in the forum aging process. PG seemed to know it was coming[1] but I'm wondering whether the dilution is ever able to be mitigated. It's not like anyone has come up with an easy solution to filtering people in slowly without destroying the quality of discussion.

One thing that should always be considered is that maybe the discussion was always bad but you were new at that point too.

"Again, no one is saying we "stop everything else until we get there.""

It sounds a bit like it.
Because also the main problem with this thought is, it requires a different distribution mechanism. Socialism for example. And or managed economy.
Because today food gets produced the capitalistic way. To make money. Not a charity.
Poor people don't have money.

So if there is a charity to buy enough food and able to distribute it to everone ... ok. But many tried, and you could argue it disrupted local food economy (charities bringing in free food, nobody bought from the local farmers anymore, they went out of buisness, simplified but happened)... and therefore increased the need for food delivery etc.

Also, as cruel as it is, the less hungry people, the more people who need food.

In other words, the problem is complex and not simpel. So those who feel the need to solve it (I do a bit actually) should do it. But others who want to explore the mars .. should do that.

Both is important. But maybe mars is actually simpler, than sustainable solving world hunger. Btw. people also like electricity, houses, cars, education ...
RISC-V Foundation Forms Security Committee
Have you ever used chrome's default history browsing UI, it's even worse.
Here's the thing. I don't want a device with a usb interface. Some environments are so locked down, the ability to plug in a usb device is completely unfeasible. Similarly, cell phones are not a good option in these restricted environments (one time password apps or text messages would not work).

It's these types of environments where security is the most restricted that we need better two factor options. RSA SecureId tokens are a reasonable solution for local logins, but can't be used to authenticate with external resources like Google.

I want to access Google, AWS (and friends) without a network (phone) or plugged (usb) device. Let me register a SecureId token or something similar with them. We need to be able to bring our own devices.
Fascinating. It would be interesting to learn whether there was prior exposure to, e.g., music theory that allowed the unfolding in the mind later on in life.
Passenger trains in the US died off in the late 1960s because of automobiles and the Interstate Highway System (don't forget airplanes).
I don't even bother with vanilla JS. Babel and Typescript let you magically use the latest features without caring about compatibility at all really, except CSS
You joke, but I've been thinking. Tabs were mind blowingly good UX when they first came out, But with WebAssembly et al, are tabs still the right abstraction?

You can help out by scrolling to the bottom and up-vote those you think got unfairly down-voted. I do this, but most of the time they where down-voted for a good reason, so I think the system still works.
When I get down-voted for no apparent reason I think "at least someone read my post". :)
Vimperator and its ilk have offered this for years. Vanilla Firefox lets you search through tabs in its address bar.
Looking at their average revenue per user. Even with the break down into regions, US users (the most premium users according to the report) make $25/year. I would easily pay $100/year for tracking free, advertising free Facebook.
Same with Greece. When constructing the Athens metro, they kept finding artifacts. Some of those were used in the stations, in mini-museums along the walls of the corridors.
The difference is that Jobs had an ability, not perfect, but an ability, to listen to people and understand what they were saying.
Have you EVEN read the title??

They are not sharing this information with private entity aka. opt-in/out. They made partnership research & development agreement in with GSK with invest over $300MM. 23and me is not sharing our data outside their fences BUT this agreement will let them bring GSK into their playground and do all sorts of stuff with your DNA.

Worst case they will just buy the whole 23andMe as a company and once they own it, still your data technically haven't been opted-in/out anywhere, but Glaxo will do whatever they pleased with it :)
We've just updated the title from ‘Chrome’s solution to the “too many tabs” memory problem’. There are many reasons not to editorialize titles when submitting, and the likelihood of saying something misleading is one of them.

> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait. Don't editorialize.

Thanks man! :)
Well yeah, but just because Trump won doesn’t mean they were wrong. According to their prediction, Trump wins in one in every fifty times.

There might be plenty of reasons to believe their analysis was flawed, but by itself the fact the Trump won doesn’t actually imply that.
Talent Effects and Inequality
NPR did a similar story/podcast on fake news in June: https://www.npr.org/2018/06/25/623231337/fake-news-an-origin...

Interesting to read that fake news is just part of our culture. It seems like a real problem now is the hyper-awereness that the internet has brought us all.
RISC-V started with the simple core to bootstrap software and cover many initial workloads.

But RISC-V will add extensions for more advanced features because many core will need them.

Saying that RISC-V is boring is a bit unfair because there is lots of interesting work done in terms of the Privilege Architecture, Vector unit, trusted execution and so on. Those will all be part of the RISC-V standard.

SGX/MPK see:

- https://keystone-enclave.org/

- There is a TEE working group in the foundation: https://content.riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/09.00-0...

- There is lots of work on tagged memory (see LowRisc/Shakti)
I think the original usage was fine, it just doesn't mean what some are trying to add on.
It's quite unfair to compare misinformation campaigns orchestrated by the whole US government and it's intelligence agencies, as was the case with Iraq's WMDs, to online propaganda organized by private individuals to the benefit of various political candidates or their own online circulation.

What happened with Iraq was not just fake news, it was fake governing, it was another order of magnitude. Miller and the NYT were just some of the many useful idiots.
How big is the compiled output?
It's a UI problem.

People will upvote comments they agree with and nobody seems to have a problem with that. The opposite action - downvoting to express disagreement - feels pretty natural.

Slashdot found a reasonable solution to this problem a decade ago and it surprises me that more tech-oriented sites haven't borrowed some of their innovations.
Yet it will never be able to solve the system-library dependency problem in the way that Nix does.
Not true. Users who are willing to shell out for premium service are a much more lucrative advertising audience.
Really, it was all the New York Times & the US government had nothing to do with it? Go away, propaganda troll.
I'm not sure if that's true. Yes open offices are horrible. Even offices with cubicles (semi-open), or offices where the doors are open. I have several neighbors who built their own keyboards or bought mechanical ones and it drives me crazy. They are loud and distracting. But Ive never mentioned it to them. Why? It's a pointless disagreement in the workplace. One of those pick your battles scenarios, so even though you've had no complaints doesn't mean it's not an issue.

That's fair, but one has to remember that some of the key points are to be balanced, and that, like you said, "the quality bar needs to be high".

And I'm more for prioritizing trying to not introduce bugs than to fix all the old ones. Which is challenging on, how could we call that?, "legacy" software. So that priority can and must be reversed temporarily when that "legacy" is too much.

So it's all very context dependent, and not having anybody (or too few) working on making things better when its needed is not going to deliver any kind of velocity in the long term (and probably the short term velocity is already way too low in those cases). Too bad for the mythical time to market...

So you have to be able to say no to bugfixes, but you certainly also have to be able to say no to the eternal rush of new half-backed features, when needed. A short-term ever obsession on "opportunity cost of not working on a feature" could yield quite paradoxical results if trying to build them on some kind of zombie legacy code (that is only ever edited with disgust and great difficulty, but never seriously refactored).

Not only this balance is hard to achieve, but your role as a senior tech lead and project manager is certainly to consider carefully the cleanup needs, and be an advocate for them when needed, including by pushing back against feature creep pressure. Because if you are not, most of the time nobody else will. As a tech lead, this mean among other things, that a black box approach of parts of the maintained software is out of the question (of course you can delegate, but even then its imperative to stay in the equation for that purpose, only with less details). Paradoxically, even if the quality is crap and the organization notices and tracks loads of bugs, most people will be happy at the moment the bugs are triaged and assigned and eventually "fixed" by more horrible garbage (that is, the impression that something is done), rather than doing the right thing that is to organize a cleanup of the software more in depth.

I've got the impression that it is rare to find projects where this balance is achieved correctly, but maybe it's only because of bad luck. Well in lots of cases, the famous ones (I'm thinking on the level of Linux, Firefox, Python, etc. not just your random niche software) are actually not that bad, and their competitors have a way shorter lifespan when not as balanced...
You may believe you are being downvoted because you said something about Clinton, but it’s likely actually because you are quoting statistics without understanding how they work.
