Having been to Burning Man and various parties/raves/festivals of all sorts, AND several of the aforementioned 'Clambakes' in the article, these are different than usual. Some overlap, not necessarily better or worse, but definitely a distinct niche. It seems like more of an event for all the weird kids from HS drama/art/AV clubs, big emphasis on theatrics and assuming roles. A sort of fuck-you humor, not for gentle souls. Good times.
I fail to see how the quote that she didn't question it beyond thinking it must be dilluted is an example of how she question giving someone 38 pills beyond "must be dilluted".

Is any other line here actually relevant to technology or just how errors end up occurring even though you have resilient systems and checks built in? I.e. what about any of those has to do with technology itself?
SIM cards can contain applets that execute on the baseband.

The baseband often uses the same system memory as the application cpu (where android runs), and might even be in the same package or on the same silicon. In theory devices shipped with an MMU to prevent the baseband from fucking with the application processor. In reality, even Qualcomm ships broken MMU configs, and don't bother to ship a fix until the device is near EOL. I can't even imagine the horror show of Mediatek's MMU.

Of course it's also possible that this is Google playing nice with Chinese legislation...
So, I can’t access the site, guessing it’s overloaded.

But a few things I’ve picked up from the discussions.

First off, a product that destroys itself immediately when purchased. I understand the art world now sees it as more valuable. Whatever. Idiots. But what if you bought a car and the moment you drove off the lot the wheels fell off? That’s some fraudulent ass shit right there. Now, don’t get me wrong. A mil+ for any type of “art” is a stupid in my eyes. But I’m also into collecting antique wood working tools. So, to each their own. But I understand the anger someone would feel for paying a lot for something that is trash. Plus as a seller. As Sotheby’s, I’d raise some unholy hell... unless I was in on it to.

The anti-capitalist committed the biggest sin in capitalism for his own greed. He profited from an exchange that inherently does not satisfy a customer’s need, even though advertised otherwise. And yes, I say greed. He, or they if it’s a group of artists, are part of it as a money making scam.

Famous anti-capitalists are not anti-capitalists. They’re always sellin’ somethin’. Maybe not today, but at some point, they cash in for their audience, eyeball investment.

Oh well, no one cares because it’s the art market. The most prolific way to launder and transfer dirty narco and terrorist money because, no one in the public cares. The old white people market as people like to whine about. That market needs to be regulated more hardcore than the stock market. Maybe that’s the point? Damn I hope so, then I’d give them more credit. But most folks ain’t that clever.
While the art world is busy flaunting its taste, real people are reacting to and enjoying Banksy’s art. His name and his work will live on.

If you mean among themselves fine - but among others along the peripheral I think it is for a good reason. It would be something of them isn't something likely to be piggybacked on for several reasons - even aside from the increased cost from overspeccing and reduced economies of scale the DOD easily have the muscle to extort built in spyware to the specification to be trusted to if they want big contracts.

And given history believing such is not paranoid and wise in a sense of 'not being stupid' as opposed to prescience given the past history of exposed similar moves and a lack of transparency. Probably a borderline 'blasphemous' statement like other uncomfortable truths about things not working.
why do you think any specific content (yours included) “deserves” the front page. it’s not pay for placement.

Ask HN: Are user controls UX designers hard to find?
For a project I'm working on I don't need a full blows design. Just guidance in some areas. Like, currently I just need a dropdown styled, but everyone I talk to think I have a whole site that I need done.
You can definitely authentically make the front page, but it's going to be hit or miss just because the audience fluctuates. There's numerous reasons why your article didn't hit the front page. For example, the kiboit.com article is far more minimal than your article. It's possible that readers at that time were in the mood for more minimalism.

If targeted content marketing was easy then it wouldn't be a professional field. It's going to be hard. Just because you manufactured an article for an audience and it didn't work, that doesn't mean you have to start blaming the audience.

EDIT:
One other note, the audience you've been a part of for 8 years has changed a lot. The audience 8 years ago is very different from the audience today is very different from the audience 2 years from now
We do not insert any ads.

In 2016 we proposed that Brave, a browser, could allow users and publishers to get better revenue through a private ad model that does not entail any tracking or user data in the clear on servers. We ran some placeholder ads to show the concept off. These are disabled now.

This caused a reaction. The letter we got (I mentioned it in my last comment) from a publisher group asserted that the publishers own copyright and trademark on third-party ads on their sites. This was comical in view of malware getting on the New York Times, BBC Online, AOL and other sites the month before (March 2016). Publishers do not own (c) or (tm) on any ads they don't create, of course -- certainly not on so-called third party ads, especially malware. Or they'd be liable.

Anyway, baseline Brave is just a top-speed (better than using JS in extension code) blocker by default. All token options are optional, users and (if involved) publishers choose.
Part of me feels like this stunt is clever because the nature of the performance improves the value of the work. So it's self-destructive in the technical sense of the term but it was designed in such a way to essentially transform the piece. While shocking in the moment, as the pictures of the scene show, the work has three separate qualities: the original significance of the piece, the new meaning it attains after partial shredding, and its role in the historical documentation of the scene that played out. A bunch of moneyed folk at an auction recoiling in horror - either because of the money they initially thought was wasted, or more charitably because they genuinely cared about the work. What would your own assumption there tell you?

However, in my mind I also imagined something entirely different. What would it say for a similar work of art to self destruct at a very glacial pace, and the only way to prevent degradation was to pay attention to it? What would it say about the nature of art and wealth if the owner did not notice the piece had destroyed itself until it was too late, presumably because they bought it and left it in storage or on a wall they never looked at? This is what plenty of art will already do over the course of centuries, without maintenance or restoration, so I'm thinking about something more accelerated and deliberate.

And on an extra level, I have started to wonder how such a piece could be represented through programming. The website that rots, pixel by pixel, when it isn't viewed; or the application that subtly corrupts itself over time.
I can share how it happened. I logged into HN today to read more about the Apple/Amazon/China news, then almost spat out my coffee when I saw Matt was #1 on Hacker News. I went to high school & university with Matt, so it felt really surreal, and I immediately tweeted Matt to tell him:

How I built a simple docker based CI/CD setup with GitLab and docker-compose
HN ranking system is unknown to me. However I recently started clicking on domains just to discover that many people are adding the same stuff several times. Maybe this is the way now?
"The point Wachler attempts to raise is how when we blindly substitute technological systems with human based processes we can miss the mark if we're not extra careful."

This isn't limited to us now using technological systems for steps. Unless you're arguing the portion of the article covering how the same errors used to happen more often before the system was put in place is incorrect.

Fixing ALL false alerts is an impractical goal but lowering them to something reasonable to work with day to day is not. Epic is a complex system and a medical system but that doesn't mean every change involves you going to the government, a great deal of it can be customized with local Epic trained staff you were mandated to have when you bought the product. Doesn't make it easy but the majority of the problem is within the organization not the government or vendor.

Anyway my overall disagreement with the article isn't that I think the technology is perfect rather it's written like it's worse than it was before because of the technology when it even admits things are better than before because of the technology. It did little to convince me technology led a hospital to do anything vs the same problems the hospital has always had with it's verification procedures.

>What gives people the right to own “stuff” in the first place? We live in society. If people aren’t happy with the rules, they can go live in a cave and burn their millions for warmth.

If you're an American, then the society you live in has a constitution it's agreed to follow that stipulates people have private property, and the state doesn't have the right to arbitrarily seize it.

That aside, regardless of what society you live in, the last century demonstrated pretty clearly that taking rich people's stuff and banishing/killing/imprisoning them ends up making everyone in the society poorer, see for instance the communist revolutions in Russia and China. Because you destroy the incentive to invest, and to take the risks of starting a business. You also take money from the people who've demonstrated the best ability to invest it, and give it to people who've demonstrated minimal ability to invest or create value, resulting in a massive reduction in productive investment being made.

How I approached my new Product Manager job
What exactly is the value of this? Not trying to be snarky, it just seems to solve a problem no one has.
i had a similar idea. a local client that scrapes (ahem, reads) forum sites and formats the content in a consistent way. with much more powerful UI. like tapatalk, but actually good.

oh, and it removes site ads and inserts it’s own. then it holds the forums hostage to get into its own ads model.
Java is pretty good at character processing and has been since the inception of the language. Adopting Unicode from the start helped enormously, along with clearly separating String from byte[] in the type system. Finally the fact you have static typing makes it a lot easier to avoid 'what the heck do I have here' problems with byte vs. str that still pop up even in Python3.

That said Python3 is vastly better than Python2. Basic operations like reading/writing to files and serialization to JSON for the most part just work without having to worry about encodings or manipulate anything other than str objects. I'm sure there are lots of cases where that's not true but for my work at least string handling is no longer a major issue in writing correct programs. The defaults largely seem to work.
I've been wondering the same lately. For example, [1] was quite suspicious to me, as I don't think that many people are into website analytics. Anyway, HN is one of the most popular news aggregators for the tech community, so naturally people try to game the system, I'd say the majority of posts are legitimate though. If you look at the stats of users that post things you can see that most of them have many submissions that go nowhere, along with a few that become quite popular.

If you're using HN to promote your projects I'd recommend you to try other platforms as well. Personally I had success with Reddit and found the community there quite good. Also, since it's more fragmented than HN it's easier to get to the frontpage of specialized subreddits, which for a product is the thing that counts most (IMHO).

Yeah, I think this is where the meat is. csydas’s points have merit. Namely: 1. torturers will keep torturing until they get what they want, and 2. victims will eventually tell the torturer whatever the torturer wants to hear in order to stop the torturing. However, if you can employ your duress code, then you might be able to defeat the torturer (by preventing them from gaining access — they could still very well kill you) or by alerting the outside world about the duress scenario.
If you just want some legal/financial protection, most countries have a simplified way to form a basic company (in the US it's LLC) that you can easily file for yourself, and usually the taxes are easier then say a C corp.

Atlas was designed to correctly setup a company to become acquired or go public. You simply don't need those features and the complexity included on the cap table, taxes, etc.
I mean, that sounds very much like react + redux, which is where I’d recommend you start if you were building the thing you just described from scratch.

You ask if you can "authentically" make the front page like you used to "by having my friends upvote an article/side project I'd post", but isn't asking your friends to upvote your article inauthentic? Also, your article, while legit in content, has a clickbait title: "The Fastest Way to Increase Your Site's Performance Now".

Where do you draw the line on what is authentic / inauthentic? Why is timing when you submit your article worse than using a clickbait title?

That said, I understand what you're getting at; unfortunately as a community grows in size, it's by nature going to become harder for "regular" people to get attention. It's still possible though.
It's possible you could just be looking for someone to motivate you. If that's the case, I'm in a similar boat, got a project, but I get lazy sometimes, I could use feedback to help me go forward but I can't find anyone to even look at my work.
Apart from the sibling conmment pointing out that effect monads are one type of effect system, almost all effect systems I know of (algebraic effects included) have a monadic interface. The only one I can think of that doesn't is the family of uniqueness/linear/affine types (to the extent that those model certain kinds of effects).

Maybe you were mainly just thinking of monad transformers or combining discrete monads?
Yep, as I suggested in my original comment.
The front page can be hit or miss. New can have a lot junk, but I will say lately, have found more interesting stuff on like page 2, 3 and new. Although I tend to go quite a few pages in.
I did make the front page once, but actually it only happened after a moderator "re-upped" it and sent me an email. This put it in the "second-chance pool" as he called it which will randomly put it on the front page at some point. I think once it got on the front for even a short time, enough people up voted it to sustain it for a while. I guess very few people look past the front page, and even fewer in the new section.
I skimmed both books several times back in the days, but didn't really have enough experience to know what to make of it. I once used the bridge pattern to write a multi backend GUI framework, looked it up in the book and all.

32 years into the game my perspective is that patterns is exactly what I don't want in my code...
Very nice! I had a trig teacher years ago that taught only using formulas, without showing or explaining the unit circle. It was so confusing, hated the class until I discovered the unit circle diagram like this, then it all made much more sense.
I have also had trouble getting any significant number of upvotes most of the time. To the point where I rarely even try to submit anymore. If I had to guess I would say that timing probably is very important for HN. Also luck. The more interesting a link is to me the less likely it seems that it will become popular. I am not comfortable with trying to game it but I have a feeling many people who have success here must be doing so.

No, I don't. I should have said Obama Administration, because I don't know from where the order came. That's a good call on your part. I'll see if I can edit. Edit: no I can't edit that post. Obama himself may be guilty only of not placing the best people at the IRS.

I did once. But the content was flagged within 20 minutes and my site crashed. The people flagged the content because they disagreed with it. Basically I posted a list of doctors ranked by the number of opioids they prescribed [some on the top list are in jail now - not because of my list]. So, in my humble opinion it needs to be super relevant and controversial if you are trying to manufacture it.

I had google ads up, served 200k (impressions?) and made about $2.00. Hacker news people do not click ads.

Block current ad tech and replace it with their own. Where does Brave hope to be in 10 years? Controlling the internet ad marketplace via their BAT token platform. Once the initial creators have earned their take and lost their will the platform values will be slowly (rapidly?) eroded and we'll be right back where we are today.

How is this appealing?
So does HTML/CSS+JS. A project aiming at simplicity probably isn't one to criticize for lack of features.

Surprised to see no one mentioned "My List" thing.

I'm nearing a year as a Netflix user, yet I still have no idea how that list is sorted. It's not sorted by last added, last updated, recently watched, alphabetic or any other method that I can make any sense of. There is no button to change the sorting method.

Of course, this list is also re-sorted very often, so I simply have to look around and find where they placed my favorite show today in a list of 50~ items, while trying to have a breakfast.
You don't need new light rail networks. You've already got the roads so you start with buses. If cars were banned the bus companies would have no shortage of revenue. This could be done in a year, not 50.

I should have indeed said algebraic effects instead of effects system.

Algebraic effects are a restriction on monads, but a restriction that still allows for the vast majority of use cases. In return, you get composability and a clear separation of effectful operations and effect handling.

The default of using monads for everything produces too much cognitive complexity for little benefit.
Maybe write a review?
I had a recommendation for this during Snowden leaks: use hardware from threat model's most capable opponents. As in, assume it's all backdoored by at least one party. Most threatening are specific, nation states. Use their opponents' hardware.

If stopping Chinese hackers, use stuff from Trusted Foundry running most secure software you can.

If stopping Five Eyes and Israel, use Russian or Chinese hardware running most secure stuff they support.

If not trusting anyone, use a computer made before 1997 that's not on a network and usually hidden in a tamper-evident compartment.

If paranoid, get rid of all electronic devices except those that detect electronic devices and emissions. Keep it far away from you itself sealed so it's not a point of attack. Periodically get it out to conduct a sweep. Your brain, pencil, paper, and hiding places are what you trust in this model. Even mechanical typewriters have acoustic and active RF weaknesses.

So, now you know how to be paranoid. Have at it. ;)
Rust `String`s are always UTF-8 – distinct from `OsString`s which are not. Conversions are explicit, and the programmer is often forced to decide between conversions which are a) fallible or b) lossy. If neither choice is appropriate, the only option is to avoid the conversion, which… is correct.
