This isn't very useful if you want your RSS reader to pull down articles for you to read while you're offline. For that to work, you want the feed itself to have the full text of every article embedded inside it.
Objectively, Google is extending its services to a billion people while maintaining the status quo of censorship. Stopping Google from expanding to China is basically another form of censorship, which is wrong.
There is probably no particular goal. It's just how they do things, how they exert power. Active measures [1] and all that. Fear of being poisoned keeps people loyal. Disinformation and propaganda don't let dissent spread, influence politics, etc.

It's kind of baffling to me that there's a system for detecting collisions with other airplanes in the sky (TCAS) and a system for detecting collisions with the ground (EGPWS) but not system for detecting collisions with other airplanes on the ground. This easily could have killed a thousand people.
But, admit it - we've all been there at some point.
Watching someone write a well researched and thought out answer to a, let's face it, sketchy (as well as downvoted) comment is another reason to love HN. :)
You don't need a lot of things in your life; you shouldn't get insulted by people saying so.
I am very aware of what the watch does. A doctor is not going to diagnose atrial fibrillation based on a single ECG lead. They are going to do a more complete ECG (either in-office, or with a Holter monitor style device at home).

The watch absolutely plays an important role (it's a widely distributed, high SNR screening tool; that's definitely valuable), but it's not replacing more complete diagnostic tests.

As a meta comment... I think it's good to avoid using "you" too much when replying to someone. Respond to what someone said, not assumptions about who they are, what they know, or what their motivations are. For whatever it's worth, I am a software developer and paramedic.

NYT "journalists" do not care if the drivel they produce even makes sense, they only care to impart a tone.

In this instance, they desired to use this as a setup for a confrontational dynamic between Zuckerberg and the original founders, even though they essentially are saying the same thing.

I trust Google management over Government any day. We do not want to Google to then engage in war mongering, fear mongering either.

I think increased Trade with China is better. American companies having larger footprint in China is better for them and Americans.

I think Chinese will have to give up their censorship over long term.
Not really. You're talking about an exception to only one obligation (record-keeping). And even that is relevant only where the processing is "not occasional".

How to Accept Bitcoin on Your OpenCart Site: Complete Guide and Free Plugins
Actually, data shows that there are more than 385.000 live websites using OpenCart. Almost half of the users are based in the US (126.000), far ahead of Russia (46.000) and Great Britain (20.000). But in fact, with Apirone you can receive bitcoins from customers around the world, no matter where they live or what kind of activity they do. In addition, no registration required, no KYC, there is no need for an account, and no document of any kind to fill.
It’s ideal Bitcoin plugin to accept anonymous payments for Adult Stores and Subscription sale.
Benefits of Using the Bitcoin OpenCart Plugin
No kind of business (porn industry for example) or countries restrictions. No matter who your clients are, or where they come from, merchant will receive their money.
No registration needed and no obligation to complete a KYC/AML. It's really helpful. But, once again, they can do that because they don't convert bitcoin into fiat money. It will be interesting to see in the future if they can keep their promise with their own wallet.

It may be more full-featured than you are looking for, but have a look at the Turris Omnia. It is extremely customisable and you can add an internal SSD to run LXC containers on (including one running Pi-hole, which is what I do).

As someone who is sympathetic to their cause and their stance, I think the extreme position of excluding all non-free software can actually hamper the movement by making it less accessible to people. I get you always have to draw a line somewhere, but FSF draw it too firmly.
Once again, TFA is unclear about exactly what DL systems became unavailable. As usual, it's implied that it was ticketing and reservations stuff ("Deltamatic" for DL) which is a nightmare, yes. But back in the day (of paper tickets) you could resort to manual processes and still get flights out. The backpressure would accumulate quite fast, and you couldn't operate in 'manual mode' for very long, but you could bust your butt and do it for a departure/arrival push or two.

The real showstopper is if the Operations Center can't deliver the dispatch release; that's the legal document prepared by the airline dispatcher that grants the flight permission to initiate the flight. Without that, it's a no-go. Even if Deltamatic were down, Flight Ops could fax the releases over, as the dispatch planning system is merely tied into Deltamatic to make local printout easier; it doesn't actually run on Deltamatic.

These days with e-ticketing and more stringent DOT/Customs standards on accurate pax manifests, etc, having Deltamatic (ticketing/res) down is a show-stopper, but it wasn't always that way and the way these articles are written it leaves, in my mind, the open question about what parts were actually fubared.

(me: ex-aircraft dispatcher for a DL-owned regional carrier.)
Hey, when you need to pad a string, what else are you supposed to do?
> The set model is essentially the entire basis for CiC's claim to consistency.

I am not saying that types do not have a set model, but that types and inhabitants are fundamentally separate. Or, put another way, a lambda term specifies a single (parameterized) execution (up to evaluation strategy), and that is the only thing that can be made to "run" (I'm sure there are ways to extract, say, a sole inhabitant of a type, but types cannot in general be turned into executable programs).

> "Efficient manner" is pretty vague. I suspect there are widely used programming languages that will differ by 3 or 4 orders of magnitude while evaluating semantically identical expressions, while nonetheless both clearly being programming languages.

I'm talking about exponential differences in time complexity, or even infinite ones. You can easily specify "computations" with infinite (or even uncountable) nondeterminism in TLA.

> I'm just asking you not to pretend to make general statements about programming languages while actually talking about TLA+.

My (and I think, Lamport's point) is that there is a fundamental difference between a specification language and a programming language. It is certainly possible to mesh the two and call the result "one language", but then it must necessarily contain two deductive systems, and so I think the distinction can still be made. Even if you object to this distinction, you would agree that the "specification parts" of Coq (i.e. those with significant nondeterminism and use of quantifiers) cannot be generally mechanically executed in an efficient manner. So whether it's two languages or one, there is a fundamental difference between those expressions that can be used for programming (little nondeterminism/use of quantifiers) and those that are necessary for specification (unrestricted nondeterminism/quantifiers).
It's easy to see how, taking a cut off the top of a huge percentage of online purchases is an insanely nice place to be.

I've personally found myself preferring Stripe-based payments when there are multiple options (such as PayPal and Amazon pay) as well. Maybe I'm wrong on this, but I feel like dropping my credit card details into a Stripe window is more private than connecting to PayPal or Amazon accounts. It feels more like just swiping a credit card at a store.

>A company complying with the laws of the country it does business in seems fairly uncontroversial to me, even if you may not agree with those laws.

Depends on what those laws are. Imagine if Google was deliberately helping out with some genocide to make a dollar? And given some stories coming from China, that isn't exactly a what-if situation.

>Do you want your companies to be extensions of US foreign policy?

They have to be extensions of US morals to the extent voters don't push for them to be punished for not being so. That's a byproduct of using democracy.
I'm so sick of the self-righteous moralizing and bullshit by the tech elites and the news companies that help push that narrative.

Brian Acton didn't create whatsapp to "do good". Facebook wasn't created to "do good". Google wasn't formed to "do good". People create companies to make money. Why is this so hard for people to understand?

The guy spent 3 years creating a silly messaging app and growing a userbase and sold it for $20 billion. It's like winning the lottery. Maybe he feels guilty. But stop with the patting of one's back and pretending to fallen saints.

He knew well enough what selling whatsapp ( a company that didn't make a single penny ) to facebook for $20 billion meant. Monetization. I would have also sold a shitty messaging app I worked on for 3 years to FB for $20 billion. But I wouldn't go around pretending I was a saint who got hoodwinked afterwards.

Besides, even if the guy didn't sell to FB, he would have had to monetize and sellout eventually because he had venture capitalists to satisfy.

These slimeballs are trying to eat the cake and have it too.
This is what Palantir does in the united states, the only difference is the specific laws and the government in question. There's a big gray area here.
Oh, wow. Nice to start off a working relationship by lying to the new hire. I might have signed if I were in a financial bind (e.g., just moved cross-country and couldn't afford to be unemployed), but I would immediately start looking for another job.
At my last job we had an ad bidding API that would reach out to every advertiser we worked with, got the highest bid, then presented an advertisement to them.

The page was also framework after framework piled on top of each other, so they’d be using React and jQuery at the same time, stuff like that. And so marketing could change whatever they wanted whenever they wanted without breaking the entire site, everything was served from a CMS.

So it’s probably a lot of that.
You can do that with stock Chrome, no extensions needed. Bookmarks->Bookmark all, then a bookmark folder has "Open all".
This is an invalid comparison. WhatsApp is an OTT messaging service. You're comparing it to carrier internet and voice service.

It would be more valid to compare it to carrier text messaging fees, which was the arbitrage opportunity they exploited. But that opportunity is mostly gone now that everyone has smartphones. If WhatsApp charged $2/month they would face the same challenge from upstart apps that carriers faced from WhatsApp.

The key question for me is what about the project made Facebook uninterested in using the language or continuing development. On paper, Skip sounds quite compelling, so I assume there is some reason, if just politics.
I don't know. Maybe there is no way. But if you can't do that, all other potential reforms are irrelevant.
These are likely biz dev / sales reps trying to drum up extra business, not lawyers. Calls and emails are easily ignored. I do it every day.

> Skip is not meant to be a system programming language. So the comparison with Rust for example is difficult.

Can you elaborate on this comment in the context of some of the other languages listed by the grandparent (Go, Swift, Julia, Nim)? Granted, writing bare-metal operating system kernels may severely limit practical options, but I can imagine using Go, Swift, and Nim for slightly higher level "systems programming". Skip would be a reasonable alternative to these, right?

The name seems weird. There's tons of blogging systems that aren't Wordpress, presumably your product is interesting for many of their users too, while not being interesting for many Wordpress users due to not matching Wordpress' capabilities.

At least your landing page actually talks about what makes your thing good, I've seen worse examples of promotion which then also spend a large percentage of their space talking about their competitors.

I never thought I would hear someone call markdown a hurdle to adoption. Maybe I'm more semantically minded, but I have yet to find a markup syntax easier to figure out than markdown, including the rich text editors in Google Docs.
I can see why someone who stumbles on Skip would classify it as "systems-ish": General-purpose statically-typed language that compiles to native code with an emphasis on being fast with predictable performance. Go is thought of as a systems language, and it is a garbage-collected language meant for writing servers!

How would you describe when to use Skip? It looks really interesting.

So it's an electric bus with a dedicated lane.

So it's a long electric bus with a well-maintained dedicated lane.

Oh dear.

> It passed the ride quality test when I saw kids running up and down while it was going at 70kph – you never see this on a bus due to the sway.

So it's a long electric bus with a well-maintained dedicated lane and no turns. But it's still just an electric bus.
That's not quite true. Some of their products (Argo; their virtual backbone service) bills on GB; others on requests. That's still going to apply, and it's also going to apply for larger customers on contract.
I'm so sick of these rants that claim there is no motivation in creating a business other than to make money. There can be no passion for something, there can be no vision for a better future or a way to improve communities. No, every business can only be focused on maximizing profit, and damn the consequences.

That is a load of horseshit, and that view only serves to perpetuate that stereotype. To be sustaining is what a businesses needs to survive, but many businesses have missions an ethos of doing good as well.
"Goes down" could include things like "we're going to increase your pricing by 10 cents per charge". It's a much stronger negotiating position that Uber is in if they can say "we can switch 100% of our volume to Stripe in a minute by going to admin.uber.com and flipping a single feature flag".

Ask HN: How often do gold-rush opportunities like iPhone’s App Store happen?
What are the requirements for this to happen? For example, the internet created a whole new ecosystem of opportunity, but a bunch of government funding went into developing it. A bunch of work went into developing the iPhone. So is a new platform a requirement? Does anyone have any predictions for what future platforms might come into existence, and what signals are you basing these predictions on? Is there any pattern in the frequency of these kinds of game-changing platforms?

anecdotally, at least, I've seen a huge increase in podcast listening, and conversations about podcasts, by people who don't drive or commute much (in The Netherlands). It's become an actual thing, I'd say, and among people who aren't typical 'techies'.

I think it's basically Netflix/Spotify for radio. Most of these people moved away from television to Netflix, spend most of their time listening to Spotify or, less and less, Soundcloud, and may or may not have gotten into YouTube, but clearly want something audio-only to put on in the background, listen to before bed, and definitely commute with, just not by car (because on the tram/train/bus you need to be able to pause, just as you now expect to be able to with shows and music).
Came here to say this. No networking engineer would ever buy consumer hardware for an office of this size. It will cost a lot more in management, debugging, and downtime. Spend the slightly more it will cost for devices that are able to work together.
While I'm not a fan, this is the crux of the Charles Koch book "Good Profit." In short, government oversight / over-reach quickly becomes a game of favoritism and distorted markets.

I'm not operationally familiar with SFO. But based on experience at other airports, a taxiway at night can be a sea of black at even 100' above the ground. I would probably see airplane navigation lights at some point, but would I bet my life on it? No. So this incident has to be taken seriously.

However, I'm still not clear from this reporting how the crew mistook blue taxiway lighting for white runway lighting. This isn't supposed to be subtle, and I haven't ever experienced it to be subtle.

Edit: OK there is a partial explanation here that appears as though at the time they committed to taxiway C as runway 28R, the visual cue they relied on was airplane lighting looking like it was runway lighting. Airplane taxi and takeoff/landing lights are white, navigational lights are green or red. Strobes usually aren't on while on the ground or at least probably shouldn't be.

It's an interesting dilemma. And fatigue is a significant contributing factor as well.
