I'm not sure if it would be stable or not. After a couple generations I sort of feel it would be, as even if you hate your parents if you have kids you would still benefit from the policy. In fact, if economic growth continues you would benefit more than your parents did. And most people do love their parents.

That correlation is a "bias", or maybe better an "unfairness".

Such a system would end up requiring black people have higher credit scores than otherwise equal white counterparts, in order to be granted whatever thing it is. That's, as modern feminist/race theory might define it, an implicit bias. Nowhere is anyone explicitly stating "black implies bad", but the way the model is built creates unequal representation.

Speaking of small businesses (I'm married to the founder of one), the number one downfall of small businesses is spending too much money early, when they don't know yet what actually pays back. Getting more funding early, tends to make this problem worse.

While the current administration won't step in, I fully expect future administrations will - you cannot run a tool that enables foreign meddling in elections and not expect regulatory antibodies.
"Arbiters of truth" goes too far. They ought not be, whether through public consideration or by market force, the sole determiners of fact or fiction. The article stresses that journalism has a place in that process, after all. But it's clear that Facebook and Twitter could be doing more than they are. They essentially outsource abuse of their platforms to external parties, and don't seem to be doing any strategizing on how to predict and prevent such abuses.

There is a place in this discussion for granular analysis of what is abuse and what isn't -- edge cases, grey areas -- but we're not there yet. We're still working on preventing nation states from wholesale hijacking of platforms to spread propaganda. Let's get closer to solving that point before we we discuss adding friction to the slippery slope.

For what it's worth, you can do the same freely with at least OrangeFS, Gluster, and Lustre if you must do things a Hadoop-ish way; I assume also with Ceph.
I'd like facebook and twitter to not be complicit in genocide. We can start with that.
You are introducing a lot of moving parts to go from 99% to 99.5% availability. And you can't get much better than this at home. In that vein, for most people, the availability of a Raspi solution would be 0%. They just can't handle it.

If you can accept the bad availability Helm looks like a fine solution to get your mail out of the cloud.

Also, to the GP whose posts are getting downvoted to the point of being flagged, in case it's helpful in the future:

(1) The idea of using a bijection as a building block of hashing is not new, and it's not new to the creators of MeowHash. You point out that there exists a function from 512 bits to 512 bits that's guaranteed to be unique.

Another such function that also has good avalanche properties and is hard to determine the original input from if you don't know the key: The AES mixing function.

MeowHash is based, in fact, on transforming individual input blocks with a single round of AES, and then merging streams of AES-mixed blocks. The AES part is straightforward -- but provides much better practical hash properties than your proposal (for example, I can use the low-order 128 or 64 bits of the output of MeowHash with the same general collision behavior). The merging step is more important from the perspective of collision-freedom, and you omit that fairly critical part.

(2) The contribution of meowhash is its _speed_ and good hashing behavior. It's a very elegant use of highly-optimized on-CPU AES mixing (a feature used by previous hash functions), with a nice block size and stream mixing design that lets it keep a lot of blocks in flight for high throughput.

(Meta) You're engaged in a pattern that HN readers generally respond poorly to: Get downvoted -> Complain about downvotes in a way that implies the downvoters are idiots -> get downvoted -> double down.

It's pretty easy to rephrase your comments in a way that doesn't have that tone of "you're all idiots for not seeing the connection here".
China has tried to fight against this by banning naked officials (whose families are abroad). There are still way too many exceptions, of course, as this is a pretty unworkable rule. It also doesn't apply to private business people on the other side of the corruption equation.
That ceases to be the case once you start taking money from outside investors. You don't own the company anymore: the shareholders do.
> The public knows about each of these incitements because of reporting by news organizations. Social media misinformation is becoming a newsroom beat in and of itself, as journalists find themselves acting as unpaid content moderators for these platforms

Externalise the negatives, privatise the profits.

Alternatively, newspapers are in the business of telling ""truth"", and are getting increasingly out-produced by myth. Myth is cheaper to produce and often sounds more true to the uninformed listener. But it's dangerous to build a society that makes its decisions entirely on myth. Ultimately it will end up with a lethal myth like the blood libel, or anti-vaxxerism, and people start getting killed in large numbers.

(Someone will now point out that newspapers themselves have an unreliable track record of truth, and they're not wrong - this is also a serious problem.)
You've created a strawman here but I applaud your argument against it.

Err?
They are certainly not useful counterexamples. That is open source software Google made itself.

The original complaint was about taking other people's open source (mongodb) without contributing back.
Not "failing to release stuff it made itself". That's a completely different thing.

Even there, what i said is still true:
Google has released every meaningful patch to the open source software it used in making Chrome/Android.

> But the main issue with 3D printing is you can make a 3D printer in your basement. Cheaply.

I assume you mean "you can make a gun" cheaply. [Edit: actually, I probably misunderstood - seem further comments below and feel free to ignore this comment].

Which is not really true today? I mean, you can't get anything near a real-gun equivalent, and 3d printing really isn't that cheap compared to mass-produced goods (nor is it likely to be - things are mass-produced for a reason).
Yeah I did the same.

It's infuriating to put the machine to sleep only to see in the morning (or days later...) that Windows woke it up at 3am.

Childing them for spreadig disinfo is missing the point.

When you incentivise 'engagement' above all else, this is the inevitable result. The core business model is broken (in relation to being a social good), not their stance on poor information.
We, don't, it is the guys who have money to pay for writing such articles.

The problem is automated newsfeed, which makes users read "recommended" content and ads instead of allowing them to choose which sources they trust.

The real solution is to switch to Mastodon and similar federated networks, where everyone can select who to follow and receive nothing else. It is easy to subscribe to actual people with similar interests who "boost" (repost) the kind of content you like. They filter out misinformation way better than any of those Facebooks and Twitters can ever do.

For production server kernel:
The only kernel patches these days i'm aware of that aren't upstream are hardware drivers for very custom hardware, or ones we released but upstream didn't want and we still maintain.

Like any sane kernel team, google tries to minimize it's difference with upstream since it has huge maintenance cost.
I'm upvoting not because I agree (I fundamentally don't!) but because it's important to our entire industry that we develop quantitative counterarguments to these types of articles.

Interestingly, it's possible that Microsoft will soon have the best concrete numbers here; as it moves more and more towards open-sourcing key components of their developer tooling, it will be able to compare everything from talent pipelines to internal developer productivity before and after the sea change.

That said, could Facebook capture more of the "React consulting and services" market? Could it, for instance, offer hosting for component sandboxes, or develop paid tooling that builds on React for rapid line-of-business application development? Possibly, but it would be such a drop in the bucket compared to any other use of a Facebook engineer, that it's not worthwhile. There's value to shareholders in a company, however large, having a "cohesive focus" in its lines of business.
If you read this article as satire about technologically illiterate MBA’s who drain all long term value from companies in order to extract short term profits for the next quarter, this article makes a lot more sense.
> This is the real reason fertility rates are dropping.

One of them at least, children are also fairly disruptive and a huge responsibility if you assume you're actually becoming responsible for the education and upbringing of a human being.

Generally speaking mainland europe has low hospital bills, paid parental leave, subsidised daycare and education, but the fertility rates are still extremely low, and children are still horrendously expensive.

> I wouldn't use object oriented programming for small programs. Why bother with types when you can express things in a couple hundred lines of python with functions?

Hm? Types don't require OO. Even your 100 line program can benefit from type checking.

Approachable code must be structured in a meaningful way. That doesn't require OO either.
I am glad Haxe is still going strong. I remember when it was an alternate language for the Flash virtual machine- everyone thought it was very cool at the time. Now Flash is dead, long live Haxe!
New languages can reflect mainstream opinions even if the languages are not mainstream. Mainstream languages tend to represent fossilized opinions from the time when they were designed.
It's a valid point, I think. I'd probably also trust something so established as Boost more than some random guy's lib on GitHub. However, I specifically wrote mio because I prefer not to use Boost, and from what I understand, many others don't either.
I'll grant that may be the case here, or once you enter such a contractual agreement.

However, I'll take issue with the ownership part. I don't think shareholders own the company, even if they wield the most influence by contract.

In the u.s. corporations aren't truly owned by anyone - even the CEO .

Corporations own themselves.

That is why we give corporations rights and free speech and treat them as persons legally - corporations are not, in fact, property.

So shareholders do not in fact 'own' the company, even if they can control it.
I found this article written oddly, as if it were a phenomena that is only affecting the US. Fertility rates have been collapsing world-wide, ever since the 90s if not longer. Yet this article doesn't mention that Europe has had below replacement rates since the 90s, and the rest of the world is having significantly less children per woman than it did back then too.

For each of the specific things it suggests it might be, it would have to be something that is affecting the whole world, maybe at different rates around the world but the whole world nonetheless.

Hans Rosling in one of his videos said we see the birth rate drop when women are educated and have economic opportunities outside the house.
"Google doesn't pay companies that developed open source software that Google now relies on."

This is false.
Seriously - i'm not sure why people on HN like to offer things as facts that they simply aren't ever going to know about.

Google in fact does pay companies that developed open source software that Google relies upon.
I don't really understand what is it. Could this software finally allow me to play my Windows games on Linux host with near-perfect performance? Or is it something else?
as a young person i'm constantly looking for cheap areas to live with growth prospects. i went to detroit for a weekend last year and was just stunned by how cheap some of the property is, but also how run down the east side of town is, it's unfathomable to believe that could happen to an american city until you visit. on a block of 10 houses there would be 5 empty/stripped, 4 rundown, 1 artist commune.

i just don't see what the growth prospects are for detroit. i don't think manufacturing is coming back anytime soon to the US, and in terms of natural resources/weather detroit seems limited. the music scene is cool, but not the serious tax revenue generator the city needs. as a resident are you seeing any growth industries cropping up?
In this case it would be an untraceable/unmarked gun made cheaply. So for a couple of grand you can make many guns that could be used and unable to be directly traced like the mass-produced goods. They're all limited usefulness because of the lack of durability using a 3d printed gun.

Compare this to a gun that's been scrubbed of it's serial numbers and any other identifying marks that would make it traceable, which is going to cost more since it'll require a decent amount of expertise to do properly too.
He also vastly overestimates the value of a front end library and how easy it would be to switch to Vue or any other library.
There are a lot of people who don't think verbally, who nevertheless manage (because they have to, because that's basically the only channel we have) to share their ideas using language (in an indistinguishable way from people who do think with words). Some people think with sounds, some are primarily visual thinkers, some are informed by their emotions. I don't think it's infeasible that there are other ways of thinking (or other states of consciousness), which nevertheless have the capacity to produce the same type of output, in terms of writing, as what we with our consciousness produce today.
If we’re going to assign praise to the invention then I remember seeing it as part of FreeNAS nearly a decade ago. (Interestingly they recently deprecated this method of updating.)

I wouldn’t be surprised if he does a mix of Haxe and Unity; Haxe compiles to C# too and works very nicely with Unity.

In my current project I ultimately switched off of Unity for 3D due to its less than stellar WebGL support (and I wanted to target web), but with Haxe I simply changed my target to JS and got to reuse most of my code. The ability to switch/add targets at any point of your product’s lifecycle is incredible.
Speaking of the Intel world it's not that bad. There are three major version right now: SSE4.1, AVX and AVX2 (AVX512 is not popular yet).

In the past (roughly 10 years ego) it was a problem, as there were: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, XOP, 3DNow and perhaps a few more extensions.

it's not a typo, there are three 'S' :)
more like skin in the game maybe?
I don't think making a hash table of closures is necessarily equivalent to "object orientation". Sure, if you use a set of well-known keys to represent an interface, then it's headed that way. But the same structure can be used for other things, e.g. a table of opaque IDs to closures encapsulating a possible "next step" through a workflow in an interactive program. Indeed, I think the original news.arc did exactly that in many places (and contemporary Hacker News still does somewhat?).

(My reading of the "wimpier languages" bit was that it was probably a dig at Java, where [prior to Java 8], you had to explicitly write an inner class to emulate a closure...)

Building up an offensive computer hacking operation is relatively cost effective compared to building a military. All that is required is a few computers and some expertise.

Your opinion is almost certainly clouded by your particular circumstances. I will counter it with my own clouded opinion shaped by my particular circumstances.

Children are not unaffordable. They require sacrifice. In my culture (within the U.S.) it is common to have 4+ children, often in single-income, middle-class homes. Raising 4-6 children on an income of $60K doesn't attract any attention at all.

To read posts like the gp that claim they can't afford a single child seems ridiculous from my perspective. I grant that my perspective is ignorant of their specific circumstances. But my wife and I welcomed our first two children while we were starving college students making < $20K/year.

I don't own a Tesla. My children have worked to pay for their college debt free (as did I). I don't have a home in the Hamptons. I don't live in California. I've never been to Europe. My kids haven't gone to Stanford.

But I have the most amazing children in the world. I wouldn't trade any of them for a Tesla. Or a MBP. Or equity in whatever startup you are slaving away at.

I am glad there is Tesla in the world, and people with MBPs. I don't think my choices are necessarily better than your choices. I don't regret my choices, and I flatly reject most claims by people that they don't have a choice.

"The lack of a warranty disclaimer isn't an issue in practice;"

There have in fact been developers sued (and they lost!) over this very issue in analogous situations, so i'm not sure why you say this.

"my readme just says "WTFPL, no warranty". The vague rights grant isn't something I've seen as an issue in analogous situations in case law."

I'm not sure where you looked. Judges have varied wildly in what they have done in analogous situations.

We are nothing if not data driven. If we didn't have very good data that suggests it is an issue, we wouldn't care.
It's invalid for unix filenames to have a null character. Therefore, if your application is printing filenames in their unicode representation, it doesn't ever need to consider there to be a null byte. This of course isn't an arbitrary case, but it shows one can make assumptions regardless of the "validity" of a character.
I believe for most cases of arbitrary input, the correct and safe thing to do is to assume a byte stream of unknown encoding.

I'm not entirely sure I can competently answer that.

I know with my ADALM-PLUTO hardware, it can receive from 70MHz to 6GHz, but at only 5mW. So if you want to start Tx-ing, you'll need a low noise amplifier for the band you want to transmit. Also, the antennas are for 325MHz-3.8GHz and are anemic stubby 1dBi. You will want better antennas. Ideally, for the respective bands you want to do stuff with.

I'm still piecing my software together. Right now in open-source land, there's lots of individual decoders and some encoders. I'm having good luck with SDRangel for handling Tx as well - there's some weirdness with encoding data for Tx with the plugins. But that's just growing pains of this being new.

The other problem you'll have, if you just don't pony up kilobucks for "ham radio hardware", is that going from 7dBm (5mW) to 30dBm (1w) is going to be weirdly expensive. And then that only gets you to 'QRP'. You'll then need a second stage amp to go from 1w to higher power.

If you do EME digital modes, you're amping up from 5mW to 1.5KW . $$$$$$$$ lies here. But I'm sure if you talk in freenode IRC in ##hamradio , there are EME hams there.

So to better answer your question, rather than give you a bunch of options, here's a general idea of cost breakdown:

Cost = laptop + ADALM-PLUTO (or relevant SDR for HF) + 30 dBi amplifier for band you want + antennas for band you want

My laptop is $500 and is Dell precision m4800. 4 cores/8 threads, 32GB ram. $500 from ebay. ADALM-PLUTO is $98 shipped from Arrow. I bought 2 1.35GHz-9.5GHz antennas for $13 each from Banggood. I'm looking for a 7dBm->20dBm 2.4GHz amplifier That would bring me up to 100mW output. I also bought a random assortment of SMA connectors for $12

That would leave my current total at $136 for the wireless hardware, or $636 if you want a dedicated laptop. RasPis won't work with SDRangel - it eats CPU for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

It never felt like Google was really committed to Dart the way that Microsoft is going in on Typescript. My recollection is a little hazy, but I want to think Dart originated in the Flash/Silverlight era, when plugins were still an accepted way to do things, then Chrome flirted with adding native runtime support reminiscent of ancient IE VBScript, then things pivoted to chasing the compile-to-JS trend after CoffeeScript popularized that approach, and now it seems to have pivoted again towards cross-platform native app development. Somewhere in there was also server-side programming as well. I get the sense there was never enough focus on any one thing to achieve critical mass.
