Apparently not. From the article:

In one week, the European Parliament will vote on a proposal to force all online services to implement Content ID-style censorship, but not just for videos -- for audio, text, stills, code, everything.

You dont have to use Youtube to host things though. Youtube is not the Internet. We should go back to decentralizing things again.
At some point, you have to stop fiddling and finish what you started. Even if you procrastinate productively, spending ten minutes on a musical instrument, then another ten on reading an article, and then delving somewhere else is marginally better than binging on Youtube and Netflix. The constant context switching prevents you from going deep. All you gain is superficial knowledge.

This, in my opinion, the bad "good procrastination." Something I am trying to escape from. Doing so many things without focus ended up imbibing a habit of rarely finishing anything. I agree with the author that it's useful to let your attention wander away from day-to-day stuff, but it's equally important to realize that there's a limit to how many things you can productively do in parallel.
That's what I was thinking, it sounds like the wish terminal.
> NYTimes states they are aware of the identity of the person so it's not like the validity of the article is suspect.

That requires to place 100% trust in NYT, which you may be willing to do, but it's not a law of nature. Journalists in search of a scoop have been known to confuse what they want with what really is (remember the sordid Bush memo affair that ruined Dan Rather's career?) and even if not intentionally deceitful, being easier to deceive if the information confirms their biases.

> For the sake of discussion, what ethical arguments do you think there are for finding out who wrote this?

Knowing who wrote this allows to adequately evaluate whether what is said there is true, what vested interests or grudges may the author have and what information may they have from the first hand, second hand and what information they couldn't have and if they claim they have it they must be lying. E.g. if somebody who doesn't have clearance says they have been on classified briefing and heard Trump say so and so, it would be clear they are either lying or relaying third-party information as first party.

While for the author of the article discovery would be a negative, for a voter that wants to be informed, and wants to independently evaluate the worth of the information knowing the source may be very useful.

Also, since this article does not seem to be disclosing any classified information, the worst thing that could happen is that person would be fired. People got fired from Trump administration many times, some after a very short time, and none of them suffered any heavy consequences that would make any act leading to such outcome unethical, such as death, heavy bodily or mental harm, full financial ruin, etc.

So it appears to be clearly within ethical bounds to research this question, no less than any question that any politician would like to hide to promote their goals. While each such revelation inevitably would hurt somebody's interests (otherwise nobody would try to hide it!), there's nothing unethical in still trying to reveal it.
Thanks! Still working on it, but it will embed the ELMo model in the .magnitude file, wrap the ELMo model interface code so that it is standardized with Magnitude's features (querying, concatenating, iterating, etc.) and will use ELMo's OOV method natively.

I thought macOS was already GPU accelerated with Quartz? And wouldn't Windows be doing something similar by now? The CPU is certainly not writing pixels directly out to VESA buffers in 2018, right?
It is useful for backwards execution. This is supported in various ways by Simics, gdb, SID simulator, rr, the Moxielogic emulator, and others.

It is useful for virtual machine snapshots. You can restore the virtual machine with the terminal state intact.

There’s lots of assumptions here — not that they’re wrong, as for the past few generations they’ve been more or less correct.

But what if those assumptions become outdated? E.g. suburbs having a better school system because of the higher home values and home values being high because of the school system? What happens when one side of the circular equation breaks?

In Dallas, the city proper is outperforming roughly half of the more expensive suburban school districts. In Dallas, more affluent, young couples who plan to start a family are choosing the city over suburbs that just a decade ago were seen as the Place To Be.

There’s also the nationwide trend that many millenials — family or no family — want to live in urban cores, not sprawling suburbs.

What happens then? Do “the suburbs” eventually become looked down upon by future generations in the perjorative way the current generation looks at “the inner city” today? And are all those people who made those assumptions when they bought into the suburbs caught holding the bag?

i would be surprised if they were supporting sql as query language. do you mean by using spark sql?
It's probable that HN is so feature-frozen it's not worth doing at this point, but if it were not, there are a few good reasons. The parent's example in hideStory() is a good start:

for (var i=0; i < 3; i++) { remEl($(id).nextSibling) } // pop following options row, whitespace text node, .spacer

This way, if (for instance) someone were to try to modify the layout to use margins rather than spacers, or if someone were to strip whitespace from the rendered HTML, a quick search (or manual skim of the code when something breaks) for "spacer" or "whitespace" would help someone avoid needing to step through what's being removed in Dev Tools. Minimally invasive, would greatly help someone doing code review, and doesn't even increase line count. Documenting the helper methods at the top would help newcomers to the codebase as well.

More generally, going a step further, I've been inspired in my commenting style by Jeremy Ashkenas's literate code for the Backbone library. See, for instance, http://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html#section-111 . The code itself is as self-explanatory as any other code I've ever seen, but the comments serve to accelerate that browsing process. Backbone, while somewhat dated nowadays, is a great level of abstraction in that the entire library can be grokked in an afternoon - but without comments, I think it would take longer. Reading time does not monotonically increase with number of characters :)

And as a third point, if there's ever something confusing enough, or you're using some infrequently-used feature of the CSS/DOM spec, such that the author or reviewer needed to look up how it worked in documentation or a forum somewhere, I encourage my team to simply add that documentation or forum link into the comments. Extremely helpful for maintainability, particularly when onboarding junior team members, allows code reviews of that line to be asynchronous whereas they would otherwise require synchronous explanation, and it's ideally just as quick to keystroke "select-url/copy/close-documentation-tab/tab-into-codebase/start-comment/paste/enter" as it is to "close-documentation-tab/tab-into-codebase."

This is Hacker News - we're the antithesis of enforced Javadoc-style comments :) But if you consider someone needing to read code without having the live input of the author, minimal comments for especially terse or creative code can quickly start to make sense, certainly in the territory of the rightmost columns of https://xkcd.com/1205/
I've often heard of this, I understand the basic argument of removing someone's freedom.

I've managed to convince my spouse to not share many of our kids' pictures on social media due to some concerns, but I am unsure the worry about grown up people being worried about their pics as kids is justified.

Do you feel a person in the twenties or teens will be impacted by the fact that 10 years earlier their parents shared a cute picture of them?

I am trying to understand, not argue.
> My view is that whomever authored the anonymous letter believes they are a true patriot

Very well may be. But it also very well may be somebody like Timothy McVeigh or David Duke believed they are true patriots. That does not make their actions any better - of course, their actions are very bad, and incomparable with writing an article in NYT, the point is even such bad people can claim to be "true patriots" - anybody can. Believing you yourself is a good guy is not enough, everybody is a hero in their own story. But we have certain rules to ensure that does not lead one too far out - both inside and outside the law.

> It is better for someone to be loyal to the ideals of freedom, democracy, and making the world a better place

There's no objective test for being loyal to the ideals, only subjective opinion. And everybody is willing to declare themselves lovers of freedom. Some terrorists could talk about their love of freedom for hours. Of course, what they mean by "freedom" is different from what you and I would mean. But allowing people to issue themselves indulgences from otherwise unacceptable behavior just because they believe it's for the best purposes is too easy road to abuse to take it as any kind of an acceptable rule.

I fully agree learning (La)TeX is superior of "word processors" which is a bit of a glorified name for invisible markup, it is seldom a good idea to dumb down on the user.

I misread your "I never understand this argument." as not understanding what consp wrote, "this" was a bit ambiguous, and I originally thought you meant "I'm the scientist, let me do science instead of communicating clearly what I did and observed" but now I see "this" referred to the argument consp quoted. So we are both agreeing with him. Add to that that I was confusing a sibling comment with what consp wrote. :)

My impression when I first saw swift code was "wow, that looks a lot like scala".
Most Cocoa apps use the CPU backend of Core Graphics, which doesn't use the GPU for vector graphics rendering. (CG is usually what "Quartz" refers to, though the brand is so overloaded at this point that it's hard to make any general statements about it.) Cocoa apps do frequently use Core Animation for compositing surfaces together on GPU, though.

Most of what terminals have to do is blitting of prerendered text bitmaps, which is relatively slow on CPU and does benefit from the much faster memory bandwidth of the GPU. Core Graphics generally does not use the GPU for text blitting in most Mac apps, so having a custom renderer can help here. Font rasterization on the Mac does not use the GPU either, but the glyph cache hit rate for a terminal emulator is so high that it ends up pretty much irrelevant.

On Windows, Microsoft ships multiple rendering stacks for legacy compatibility. Most terminals are old Win32 programs that use classic GDI, which as far as I know is partially accelerated but mostly CPU (and implemented in the kernel!) Direct2D, the newer API, does use the GPU for blitting text. Like macOS, Windows still does all font rasterization on CPU. In GDI, font rasterization is done on CPU in the kernel (!) (except on Windows 10, in which the kernel calls out to a userspace fontdrvhost.exe). In Direct2D, font rasterization is done on CPU in userspace.

"Some people have asked why kitty does not perform better than terminal XXX in the test of sinking large amounts of data, such as catting a large text file. The answer is because this is not a goal for kitty. kitty deliberately throttles input parsing and output rendering to minimize resource usage while still being able to sink output faster than any real world program can produce it. Reducing CPU usage, and hence battery drain while achieving instant response times and smooth scrolling to a human eye is a far more important goal."

And knowing with close to absolute certainty that you are setting yourself up with a variety of gaping, unpatched security holes.
I think they do, and then a few people who do complain about taxes move away...then suddenly in order to make up that shortfall taxes have to rise again...then a previous group that was closer to wanting low taxes threshold move...Cities take this as they aren't doing enough, so they spend more, and more, and more. They still have shortfalls, so they try to raise taxes, then realize no one wants it. It fails, so the city dips into pensions, or skimps. Then sooner or later it cascades down a hard to reverse path. It can take years or decades to play out...but it almost always does. It can also take decades to fix once it hits the fan.

Is the claim here that Google is wilfully facilitating China accessing your account? If so, those fears are the same.

(If the claim is that Google is unintentionally facilitating this, I think we need a bit more of a story about why Google - which wrote the U2F protocol with Yubico in the first place, and is generally seen to be competent at this - would make this mistake. "They want to make China happy" is the beginning of such a story but not nearly enough.)

> If you’re a Special Forces veteran hired to protect the Zuckerberg compound why wouldn’t you replace Zuckerberg with your cousin Eddie?

Then why wouldn't cousin Eddie replace you?... Because humans don't work this way.

You need a leader and it's Zuckerberg. He then keeps those below him happy the best he can, they in turn do the same.

If anyone turns, the others around him don't because they are happy and have no idea on this new leader 'Eddie'. Status Quo kept.

Do you expect your current leader today to be overthrown? Probably not. Then why would leader Zuckerberg just be overthrown in a slightly different world?

You don't need game theory to test this, look at failed states and private troops and see what happens.

I'm not sure what you'd find but I suspect it'll be fairly ordered.
Doesn't this seem to be conflating correlation with causation? A sign of a wealthier than average household is a beamer in the drive way. That does not mean that buying a beamer is a a good way to get rich, quite the opposite in fact. Areas that are 'overall prosperous' are going to tend to drive economic migration. As a city's area for development tends to be limited this is going to drive population densities upward, as compared to areas that are not economically desirable.

San Francisco is a great example, all the way back to its beginnings. San Francisco was practically created by the California gold rush. At the start of 1848 its population was around 1,000. By the end of 1849, it's population was 25,000. By 1890 it's population was 300,000 and it was the 8th largest city in the US. By 1906 the population was more than 400,000. Things then got shaken up by the quake of 1906.

But the whole point is that as its population increased 40,000% in about 5 decades, you'd have seen population densities skyrocket. But the city didn't become prosperous because the population density increased. Its prosperity caused the density increases.
I’m not talking about the distrust though. I’m talking about how to convince sites why they should give a care about the distrust. Many of them have no cares to give because they are missing this part of the picture.

I'm looking to bring on our first marketing hire (director-level) We're a tech-enabled service specifically in the property management industry. You can think of us as the PwC specific to our industry. (www.apmhelp.com)

We're at $100k/month in revenue ($35k mrr, the rest is one-time projects) and all of our growth in our 13 months since inception has been word of mouth and niche forums. We feel we've hit "product market fit" as we're able to do one call closes with our average deal size being $24k in AR for recurring clients.

Our primary target audience is older and definitely on Facebook so prior experience running campaigns on FB is a must.

DM if interested! We're completely remote and have big aspirations =)
