At the time I came across +fravia I believed that +Orc was a real person, but like you nowadays I'm more inclined to believe they were one and the same.

Regardless I remember finding the reversing pages in the early 90s and learning a lot. I was disappointed by the pivot to the search-based site, but regardless Fravia himself was a huge influence on me, and I was saddened to learn of his passing.

> why are the estimated GDP numbers not coming in much worse?

Farming is 1% of the United States' GDP.

Yet, if the United States lost that 1% of its GDP, we'd have food riots, breakdown of law and order, political slogans like 'Bread, Land, Peace', and the bourgeois strung up on lamp posts.

The answer to your question is: "Because agriculture is undervalued in dollar-denominated economic metrics."

Also, because a hurricane destroying a city, and then construction workers rebuilding it will increase GDP. GDP is a terrible measure of value, and of the utility of any one particular industry.

A lot of people like this idea, but it seems that no one really wants to implement it.
Bay Area rent is the price of admission to the tech industry and venture capital community; if you don't specifically need those things, it's not necessary.
Interesting, I hadn't considered that.
In order to give any kind of really meaningful feedback I'd have to ask a couple of other questions:

1) Define "cheap". You're in the Bay Area, which is by every definition the opposite of "cheap", but substituting that with something like Seattle or Austin or Brooklyn doesn't sound like it's accomplishing what you're looking for to me, even though it's absolutely cheaper. You said you want to focus on your own intellectual pursuits, so are you planning to quit your job and just try to pick up freelance gigs here and there to pay bills or live off your savings or what?

2) Related to #1... if you plan on quitting your job and just freelancing it or living off your savings, you're going to run into visa issues if you move abroad. If you're planning on finding a job somewhere else that heavily impacts the situation - it needs to be a tech center that offers other options that will sponsor you. What's the intention here?

3) What non-work features/perks/requirements/options are you concerned about? Middle of nowhere Kansas is one of the cheapest places you could possibly find in the US, but it's absolutely not for everyone and won't work out if you like having new restaurants opening every week, going to museums, and the other little things a big city provides to add variety to life.

4) Living in the Bay Area means you're used to cool and rainy but still mild weather year-round. Do you think you could deal with snow and wind with temperatures well into the negative? If not winters in Northern Europe (and, realistically, a lot of the rest of Europe) are going to be a problem. Not a fan of humid and stagnant with no air conditioning? That's going to mean the Caribbean, Central/South America, and parts of the Pacific aren't going to be an option - it's not standard there because of the power requirements. If you end up somewhere with a drastically different climate that can completely destroy your motivation and mood, which could be a deal breaker.

Surely this piece of news coming after SuperMicro report by Bloomberg is just a coincidence. Surely Business Insider wrote that piece of news from their own initiative.
Can’t we be worried about both?
It is interesting that one can write code (for which certain computational/logic structures are automatically inferred) describing hardware to run inference models, while inferring that such a piece of computing power will be useful to infer the future.

Interesting. I'll take a look at flat fee listing services. I hadn't heard of those before.

Unfortunately, I moved from semi-rural countryside to the Bay Area. I won't be buying a house here any time soon haha
What are you referring to? The situation I found bits and pieces about didn't seem to amount to much of anthing. ProtonVPN was able to explain what happened to what I thought was a satisfactory degree [1].

I definitely don't trust NordVPN in particular, they advertise their "military grade encryption", and I have no clue who runs it.

[1] https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/8ww4h2/protonvpn...

What other VPN would you trust? Mullvad, absolutely no clue who runs it. Private Internet Access had claims about logs proven in federal court at some point in the past, but I really still don't trust it.

Running your own VPN is one of the best options but you almost completely lose the relatively reasonable degree of anonymity that VPN providers serve to you. Depends on your objectives.
Well, school started again.

I found just deleting the app on my phone was a great way to cut the habit of opening it every time I looked at my phone. I thought I was about ready to delete it after a few days but then suddenly realised that without it I would lose touch with a heap of businesses around town, food trucks, nice takeaways etc, that I wouldn't otherwise know about. Deleting the app has easily cut 90% of the time I was spending on facebook, but my hungry belly still has there :D
Avoid working for local companies in Poland unless you like low pay. Just find yourself a nice remote gig (there's plenty of them if you know how to find them) and live like the top .001% of the country or whatever. There's a good reason why being a "digital nomad" is becoming more and more popular.

Healthcare starts at ~$130/mo if you manage to not pay for the retirement fund scam (rarely possible), goes up to like $350/mo if you run your own company (not 100% sure, I can thankfully avoid it). The income tax is 19%.

Simple, C++ with an additional extern "C"{} set of entry points.

C++'s improved safety over C, while providing such accessibility.

We are after all talking about network protocols, where security should be number one feature.
Couldn't you measure star motion over longer periods of time, then even minuscule amounts of motion could be detected.
C also requires a runtime, it just happens to be a very tiny one.
Shrill messages can and do backfire, but I think there might be a point to add. If we go vegetarian, as an example, we're likely promoting new vegetarian industries which then can create real alternatives for wider and wider groups of people. For example if people start a craze for foods made from kelp and it spreads, then it can become a part of larger government-arranged action.

The same is true for alternative energies.

Meanwhile you'll agree that the consumer is indeed the most important part of any economic activity, and that they often have the most choice, as most corporate managers answer to shareholders who in turn answer to short-term profits.
This thread seems a good place to re-pimp my Facebook profile cleaner (for those that missed it first time):

Well, considering that the IPCC story is nowhere to be seen on the front page and this being at the top, shows how much general HN crowd worries about Climate change as compared to Facebook. Such Myopia is what has landed us in this crisis in the first place.

But you should not bother. Go worry about the useless photos that you first upload to facebook and then wonder what a for profit company is going to do with all that data.
Afaik the render part is purely dynamic and the advocated style of creating closures with fat arrows to avoid scope binding (which is essentially the same if done in the render section) is quite expensive in terms of performance.

React and fiber tries to be smart about rendering with tree section diffing, but unless you use immutable, it's "not enough" to rely on - without immutable even in a smaller redux app there is a good chance that you have unintentional rerenderings triggered, which while may not create new tree branch renderings, still need to be evaluated.

This of course applies to the client, I don't have experience with nextjs or similar tools.
I disagree. You can live like a king in many parts of Brooklyn for cheap compared to the Bay Area.

Because in reality, the job of an editor is to avoid being fired for angering the corporate sponsors/owner, and anything about ethics, or upholding the standards of the publication, is merely coincidental.

The role of an editor is to implement the owner's plan for the publication, and that means their incentives are clearly aligned if that plan includes paying reporters more for stories that cause their audience to act.

Actually, you can do substantially better than one pixel, because the point spread function is bigger than one pixel. Even a technique as simple as centroiding will get you sub-pixel accuracy.

How many homeless people did you help out today? None while you were writing that comment.
I can attest that this would be an effective technique, because recently I accidentally did the opposite.

A while back, I did a big clean up of all my groups, likes and (most of my) friends, which greatly improved the signal to noise. Before that, I hardly ever checked FB because there just wasn't anything I really cared about, and if there was it was too well buried.

Now, though I find myself checking it, just in case there is something worth seeing. I particularly started doing this after happening on two big surprise stories on there from small businesses that made me think "Lucky I was scrolling through FB, otherwise I wouldn't have known about that".

The signal to noise is better, but the problem remains the signal isn't worth receiving most of the time.
Foursquare Checks Back in with a $33M Series F
I just read your blog, and I am flabbergasted at just how incredulous people with money can become to rationalize their own behavior.

You want us to put the future generations in literal _debt_ (and not just metaphoric as recipients of heroic selflessness and sacrifice) so that we can act as a more powerful _custodian_ today with insufficient insight and limited predictive capabilities of unintended consequences?

Sorry, but the reason it got this way in the first place is due _completely_ to debt that was meant to be a stopgap against the unsustainable pressures of an economic system requiring a constant influx of new market reach, a fresh supply of minted debtors, and more resource reserves to be depleted to keep the scheme going.

We don't need even more capital flooding the streets, bestowing unto the world a pestilence of fraud and short-sightedness on the backs of our descendants. An influx of more money is not going to solve any of this, and will surely exacerbate the greed and destruction.

How is it so different from Gnome 3's design? The parent's complaints were about wasted space estate, inadequate font choice and bland colors; Adwaita, Gnome 3's default theme, suffers from the exact same problems -- in fact, many desktop applications today suffer from the exact same symptoms, largely due to professional designers who should know better copycatting mobile design on desktop systems.
Hi, is new H1b sponsorship available?
I made myself only use FB via mbasic.facebook.com, it's an awkward enough interface that it helps me minimize using it.
Accepting 1500 friends and then complaining they’re too many. Who’s to blame here?

Facebook is what you make of it. It offers relatively granular control over who you want to see so if even you must be friends with someone, you can still unfollow them.

Surely the default is a bit annoying, especially when joining groups, but those can be unfollowed too.

The only thing I can complain about is “your friend reacted to or commented on some post” I don’t care about. That’s Facebook’s fault but your friends are your fault. Most of the time I add friends and promptly unfollow them because they share memes.

Serious question: How would such a platform be significantly better than email? I'm genuinely curious as to what features of social networks people think can't be fulfilled by email. The only issue I have with email is convincing other people to use it for sharing their life, rather than/as well as on Facebook, but I would have exactly the same problem with a brand new social network.
Check out the new feature of Instagram
That's an interesting strategy and I can't doubt that it works 100%, because, although I used to spend a lot of time on facebook, I find my feed more and more irrelevant now while not liking much irrelevant things.

What has been told in Snapchat's leaked memo really resonates to me despite me not using Snapchat - Facebook has become to impersonal to me. I have too many friends, most of them I don't want to loose, because they are family, old friend, (former) coworkers, etc. but that also mean that I use facebook as an address book more than anything else. I don't browse it and I don't post on it.
The house-price-to-income ratio has been historically high these last 1-2 decades, which will result in interest rates playing a bigger role in prices than they have in the past. Especially in the hotter coastal markets where affordability is a major issue. Part of this is structural as well, as most banks have strict debt-to-income ratios for their mortgages, so if interest rates go up, either incomes need to rise or prices need to come down to maintain the same level of demand.
Wasn't that MySpace? Facebook superseded that model because the general public prefers Facebook.
Exactly.. Kinda go back to the basics of what facebook was back in the day.

> Facebook is what you make of it. It offers relatively granular control over who you want to see so if even you must be friends with someone, you can still unfollow them.

Recent events have demonstrated that the privacy controls are not what people think they are. Cambridge Analytica was able to access data belonging to the friends of people who granted certain permissions, and there was a recent data breach caused by a bug in an impersonation feature. Advertisers are able to see quite a lot of information too.

Realistically, what are the odds that deleting a Facebook profile actually removes one's data from Facebook's servers? It's far too easy to secretly retain such data, and Zuckerberg has repeatedly demonstrated the requisite malciousness.
There was an IPCC story in the top 5 about an hour ago which I can only assume was moderator filtered as it had disappeared entirely a minute or two later when I clicked back to homepage. It wasn't flagged, or further down the pages. Didn't even have chance to attract much in the way of controversy or deniers.

So it may not be that reflective of user sentiment. Very disappointing to see though.
Well, it's not terrible nor worse than other dynamically-typed programming languages. And it's one of the few languages with async-everything.

He's getting down voted probably because it was not a useful comment due to vagueness. When were we told it was going to happen by 2020? Who told us this? How widely was it accepted by other scientists? What level of confidence was given to it?
Well you can create just a fake account with all fake information and no friends, so you use it just for getting out some information from FB.
As someone who is working on an asynchronous process myself, I should remind you that asynchronous is more a design level choice rather than a magic bullet that makes everything better.

In particular, in CPUs with a big centralized register file there can be significant overhead to having an asynchronous CPU.

There are certain architectural cases in which it can be a killer advantage or other cases in which it is pretty much the only way forward (e.g. in a 3D chip it can be quite difficult to distribute a high speed, high quality/low skew+jitter clock)
Well this is quite bit of generalisation. My business eradicated servers and containers and replaced them with AWS Lambda Functions composed in microservices architecture backed by DynamoDB tables. The result was an order of magnitude reduction in operational complexity, increased stability and reduced cost. This is not fad. This is real.

I applaud this idea, but once you've joined how do you get your friends to follow you? Every so often I get emails like: "Bob invites you to join AwesomeSocialNetwork, click here to join!" and I totally ignore them.

I also wonder if the age of The Social Network is over. If a new better Facebook did come along, people wouldn't join it because deep down they all know that social networking is massive waste of time and will always end up being an endless stream of garbage. The only reason they've not all left Facebook yet, is fear of missing out.

It's dated 2013. Someone brought this exact article in another thread and now it's been brought up to so doubt about the hacking article.

Seeing situations like these has led me to an intellectual predicament.

In the past year or two I have seen a massive amount of propaganda and now I'm left with a question that I hope others can answer.

How can we have free trade when every trade is weaponized? How can we have a dissemination of information when any single group who wants power uses every post on the internet as a way to insert their own ideas? We make fun of anti vaxxers but then we see that a government used a vaccination program to find their enemies[1]. We make fun of the paranoid, but then a Snowden comes out and we discover that they werent actually paranoid. How does a society function when any given transaction, whether in physical goods and services or information, is used as a weapon against another group?

I dont see how we get out of this without reverting to a super tribalist set of societies that calls out everyone who is different from the default group. Whether that's based on ideology, race, geography, etc we are all losing out because we have reached a point where there is no trust between anyone anymore

I've been studying the Cal-tech and seaforth processors lately and they've actually inspired me to go back to school so I might one day take part in an asynchronous design.

Does anybody recommend any readings besides papers on the above?

As far as I can tell most engineers view asynchronous processors as arcane equipment only meant for the most specialized tasks.
