Do people even read YouTube comments? Serious question. They've been pretty low-quality for years, so I've stopped reading them a long time ago.
> It is the Internet that doesn't understand how copyright works.

I agree.

The vast majority of the world disagrees with copyright. They participate in violations on an everyday basis. Many of them possibly hundreds of times per day.

Essentially, we have a distributed proof that your "copyright" is damage to be routed around. Nonsense. Piffle.

Lawmakers will not win this fight except by enslaving their population. People _do not want_ this. Empirically, provably, visibly.
I have gotten Lineage going on a couple of older phones for friends, I am skeptical that it and F-droid are inherently much more safe than stock + the Play Store - except that they're less tempting targets for exploitation. Which I suppose is worth something, still.
You're guessing it will involve much more than $315k/job?
Good. It is becoming more and more apparent that there is a toll on society created by these companies. They have a negative impact on our domestic businesses (traditional brick and mortar, as well as home-grown digital businesses) not to mention our mental health and even democracy. By taxing them, hopefully we can go some way to reversing some of that damage (although I'm less hopeful of that...).
This approach is fundamentally one of doctrine and ignoring what actually attracts companies and it isn't even what companies say it is - those are usually bonuses they want on top of what they actually need. It isn't taxes but resources that can be used successfully which itself varies by businesses. If low tax environments were really what they lusted for above all else they would start buying up vast swathes of unincorporated land. Basically nobody except maybe corporate farmers and real estate developers are doing that.

The good news is that desired resources vary. It could be mineral resources. It could be location. It could be the labor pool. Infrastructure is a large part of it along with the local labor pool or ability to host one satisfactorily.
> I suspect they have much more information than what we tell them, and I mean raw data, not what's derived from collaborative filtering or other techniques. I wonder if our ISPs, streaming services, banks, visa, etc, share data. Maybe it's just the trackers all over the internet.

They absolutely do. You should download your FB data, if you have an account. It's basically a list of everywhere you've shopped/been/etc. 95% of it you likely didn't share intentionally. It's quite shocking.
I'm conflicted here. YouTube is an awful place to get political commentary, so I'd say that anyone whose opinion is primarily decided on YouTube has made a mistake to begin with. On the other hand, a LOT of people seemingly do get their political commentary from YouTube, and we might want to mitigate the damage that that causes. On the third hand, YouTube is not a public forum and doesn't have to do anything for us.
I don't think it's primary effect on lifespan is through glucose regulation. There are other diabetes medications that don't have this same effect.

>> the hardware is much lower end than what you can buy for a desktop

Tbf, you can recently get the Xbox One X for £360 with few games included(including Forza 7 and RDR2!), and it will let you play those games trouble free in rock solid 30fps in 4K - I can absolutely guarantee that you cannot build a PC to match that within that money. That's not an anti-PC argument, just wanted to point out that for people who don't want to spend a lot of money it really is an excellent option.
The problem is not bots; it's that money can flow towards troll farms consisting of real individuals, posting of their own free will, but massively amplified. And it's almost always cheaper to sow discord than to scale a "fact checking farm." I'm not sure if democracy has actually proven itself to be stable; perhaps it's an unstable system whose oscillations were artificially dampened until 2016, because this strategy and the requisite technology had not yet matured.
What a sucker of a governor. "But all the other subsidies, worth more than $1 billion, will be paid regardless of money invested or jobs created."

Why is HN so eager to document the downfall of facebook? First, realize that for a large part of its demographics, facebook is the internet, and when they quit they 'll leave the internet altogether (provided that there 's not another new platform that absorbs them). Second, other social media are having far bigger leakages (snapchat) but that doesn't seem to concern anyone.
That's not true. You can set a new tab to open on your homepage. It's in the general tab of the preferences (the very first tab you see). "New tabs open with" {favorites, top sites, homepage, empty page, same page}.
I did this. In the following sequence, over a few years, and am now to step 5:

1. Turn off notifications for the Facebook app on your phone;

2. Turn off notifications for the Facebook Messenger, Instagram, et cetera apps on your phone;

3. Delete the Facebook app from your phone;

4. Delete the Facebook Messenger, Instagram, et cetera apps from your phone; and finally

5. Log out of Facebook on your desktop.

It took me 2 years to go through from step 1 to step 5. It has made me happier and more productive. I still have a Facebook account. But the friction of grabbing my laptop and logging in forces me to consider "is this what I want to do? Or am I thoughtlessly reaching for the crack pipe?"
Except being undocumented isn't actually a crime, so they're not committing an illegal act.
Can you elaborate on what you're trying to say here, or how it relates to this article?
Saying "There is not a gap" does not make the gap disappear. Applying limits to free speech is not absolute totalitarianism, unless the limits themselves are totalitarian.

For example, if criticizing the government is banned, that's totalitarian. If saying "All members of group x should be tortured to death" is banned but criticizing the government is not (unless the government is torturing group x to death), then it's not totalitarian.
Don't worry: they've been slowly hobbling the mobile site to make the application more and more attractive. iirc you can't even message on the normal (non-basic) mobile site any more: it just shows a splash screen requesting that you download messenger. And of course their site uses screen dimensions and user agents to decide to force you onto mobile even if you request desktop.
Is there any way for Wisconsin to walk back the deal? If Foxconn isn't building the plant they said they would, and aren't creating as many jobs as they said they would, surely there's some way to prevent the disbursement of the subsidy?

On another note, I wonder what it will take for middle America to let go of the dream of well-paid manufacturing jobs. I understand the hope and allure, but it's plain that this ship has sailed long ago. Watching these snakeoil salesmen literally and financially strip-mine the country is just sad. I don't know that there is a good solution to the problem, as these states aren't really set up to sustain knowledge-based industries. How will they pivot into the 21st century? I can't help but think that 20 years from now, we will still just see more of the same.

No one, including partisan commissions established for no other purpose than validating this claim, has been able to provide evidence supporting this.
Presumably having hours when it's open to the public... but I imagine you'd need to set up a non-profit as well, in this case.
> “There is no theory. You merely have to listen. Pleasure is the law.”

Except Debussy had a musical education that included theory from the best teachers in France and clearly understood the material. Plus first hand experience sight reading Wagner's operas and probably anything else he could get his hands on.

Someone with that level of education and pianism can claim to forget about theory. Then they will go on write Reflets dans l'eau.

Meanwhile, someone who has never studied music theory at all and learns to play the electric guitar will go on to write something like Purple Haze.

They both start with a prominent tritone. But Hendrix didn't have enough schooling to take it in the harmonic direction that Debussy did. And Debussy had too much education to forgo sophisticated harmonic juxtapositions and constrain himself to timbre/melody.

Edit: Actually I'm thinking of Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune where the flute line moves up and down within a tritone. Either way, sophisticated harmony and form that has obvious connections with much of the music Debussy analyzed in theory classes.

The Blackberry story is an interesting one. They kept growing in the aftermath of the iPhone through corporate sales because enterprise preferred the tight integration between BES and Active Directory, and they liked that BB phones could have nearly the same draconian IT lock-down policy as office computers.

Even after growth stalled, they had a ton of cash to keep their operations afloat. But they burned up a lot of it in manufacturing the Playbook tablet, which was a big flop.

Interestingly, Blackberry Messenger had 75 million subscribers in 2011, and had a similar cachet of exclusivity as early FB, when signups were limited to those with .edu addresses. CEO Jim Balsillie pushed for BBM to become a cross-platform software product, but his co-CEO wanted to focus on devices and security, and not build software for other platforms. We all know how that ended.
The Nightmare of Romantic Idealism (1984)
I don't have Facebook or Messenger on my phone... but it was pretty easy because the people I'm friends with on Facebook almost invariably never post. There's a really small group of people who "Like" my post, and sometimes I like theirs, but the actual discussions, or interactions about substantive matters, are almost dead in my crowd.

So, it's quiet, and almost unnecessary, and easy enough to live with by checking in periodically. Mostly people hiking and running on weekends, or posting a thing about their kid, get a bit of social love...

But really, among me and my 40somethings, almost no actual activity. And so, if the 20somethings don't use it a whole lot either, what's Facebooks future?
Ask HN: Suggestions for an Interview Coach for Experienced SDET (SF Bay Area)
My wife is a good QA working in a startup, doing REST API testing(writing automation framework, writing tests in python etc). She is bad at coding//puzzle kind of questions, partly because her undergrad institution is not great.

She is having trouble cracking interviews although she is doing well in phone screens. I think she needs a good coach who can identify her short comings and draw up plan of action, generally explain concepts she is having a tough time with, etc.

If you know any such person, please refer them here.

Thanks

I don't see Google allowing this to happen, they will try to offer lower prices/extras because they need to make up for lost time and market share to leaders AWS and Microsoft who are quickly pulling away as the 2 leaders in the market.

Google has enough resources to accommodate any medium/large enterprises that want to switch through price and onboarding incentives. Not to mention they employ many of the world's Kubernetes developers, experts, and maintainers.

The holy trinity has enough cash and willpower to keep a monopoly/monopolistic pricing from happening and there's enough business for them outside of the cloud to encourage them not to collude IMO.

Not to say hybrid cloud architectures are unnecessary - they most certainly are good, and the way the industry is moving, I just don't think there will be a huge pain point over monopolistic pricing/actions.
> "Pew surveyed more than 3,400 U.S. Facebook users in May and June, and found that a whopping 44 percent of those ages 18 to 29 say they've deleted the app from their phone in the last year."

That feels like a fairly small sample. Then from that to look at some subset (i.e., 18 to 29) feels even more suspect.

Also, best I can tell, this survey was self-reported.

This is worthy of at-the-bar discussion, but let's not take it too seriously otherwise; at least not until the data is better.
Common Interviewing Mistakes That Engineers Make

> Naked short selling rules went into effect Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008 three days after the Sept. 15, 2008 Great Recession cliff

How you twisted that into your hate on Musk seems biased.

Clearly the facts are short selling and naked short selling exacerbated the Great Recession. Your Musk hate is outshining the facts.

The Great Recession wasn't an typical market correction but engineered, many banks and funds paid fines for their part on the fraudulent ramp up pump [1][2].

And naked short selling rules were reigned in 3 days after the Great Recession cliff [3].

Though little has been done to reign in securities fraud using short and distort besides this SEC warning shot on a smaller fish this year [4]. Short and distort is illegal and needs to be a major regulatory push to avert another crisis, especially since the market is more automated and HFT run now.

The SEC short and distort warning shot this year happened almost a decade later almost to the day of the Great Recession cliff (Sept. 15, 2008 - Sept. 12, 2018) putting the big fish on notice [4].

> “While short-sellers are free to express their opinions about particular companies, they may not bolster those opinions with false statements, which is what we allege Lemelson did here,” said David Becker, an Assistant Director in the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. [4]

People will not be ok with 'too big to fail' this time around, and if another Great Recession happens, it may permanently harm public markets for good.

How does this compare with PlayOnLinux? It seems to be a very similar concept: coordinate Wine+other tools, package configurations and game-specific tweaks in a script that can be one-click ran by users, aggregate user reports on compatibility. What's new?
Code size is a function of engineer and feature count, since each engineer makes x lines of code per day. For example, there is a craigslist app in fb, a city guide app, an events app and so on, things that could be separate apps and companies on their own.

According to what? Because as I said, as far as I know, many European countries have a limited right to quote something. If the law is written to let people quote other people under specific conditions and one entity uses that to quote everyone then that is, whether you like copyright or not, an abuse of copyright. The reasonable position here is either something like what the EU wants or to reform copyright to allow this kind of use, not "Google has such a large legal team that they can get away with it until they don't".

I can't really find any good summary, but this sparse wikipedia article will give you an idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_quote
All states should do what Oregon does (with optional paper ballet on election day). Opt everyone in when you get an id, none of this register to vote nonsense. Send everyone a ballet in the mail and do mail in or drop off ballots.

I really don't get why it's so hard for more people to get behind, other than the whole, trying to prevent certain groups from voting.
Naked short selling and pump and dump was in effect which is indisputable by the facts, Lehman was just a trigger point. Making it all about Lehman is disingenuous to the full statement and event.

The Great Recession was a value extraction event plain and simple, a banking squeeze in the end. Naked short selling, short and distort and pump and dump were the fuel, the value extractors took from the value creators.

The Great Recession wasn't an typical market correction but engineered, many banks and funds paid fines for their part [1][2].

Short and distort is back in full force, gearing up for another round [3].

People will not be ok with 'too big to fail' this time around, and if another Great Recession happens, it may permanently harm public markets for good.

I want to second what OP said. A lot of the pain points people have from code review seem to come from limiting themselves to the review tool to understand the aim, scope, and rational behind some decisions. You should definitely use other channels (1-1 discussion, grabbing coffee, a meeting room, a call, whatever works).

Too bad that Java thing isn't working out so well.
This seems tragically normal on Android. Uber is over 200MB. YouTube is 175MB! Yes, just the app not the cached data.
To be clear, I agree I and everyone else is just an ant in Musk's anthill of followers, but there's no disputing that he has directly replied to and argued with me, as he has with dozens/hundreds of other random users. Of course, Musk is an outlier in that respect. Twitter's more day-to-day benefits is the serendipity of finding others interested in the same topics as I am. Most of my personal network is not on HN nor Reddit (or working in tech, for that matter), but more than a few are on Twitter, even as just lurker accounts.

You're mistaking tweets as being the only form of discussion on Twitter. What starts as tweets can go into a private discussion or email. My biggest project came from me tweeting about a data-scraping exercise I did -- turned out someone at a major news org was doing an investigation into the topic, and we ended up collaborating instead of competing with each other. I can't think of any other way we would've found each other, because I was only tweeting to show off something I did, and news orgs don't talk about investigations in-progress.

The other form of content on Twitter is the non-discussion -- i.e. when someone goes on a long tweet thread, and isn't particularly interested in debating with every reply. This is very similar to an old-fashioned blog post -- but the engagement experience is much different. Random people from all walks of life may publicly respond with personal stories to a trending topic (e.g. mental health), in a way that feels much more natural and frictionless than creating a blog post, if you even had a blog to begin with.
Great idea, thanks!
The statement author makes that polymorphism is belongs to OPP is incorrect.

Functional languages by design require better type systems that can accommodate more forms parametric polymorphism.

OPP traditionally encouraged the use of ad-hoc polymorphism (via classes) over parametric polymorphism (via generics). OPP languages generally also make it easy to perform Ad-hoc polymorphism at run-time with dynamic dispatch some languages even use dynamic dispatch by default.

TLDR: FP and OPP both have polymorphism.
FP encourages parametric polymorphism.
OPP encourages ad-hoc polymorphism.
"This is where the Red Hat acquisition comes in: while IBM will certainly be happy to have the company’s cash-generating RHEL subscription business, the real prize is Openshift, a software suite for building and managing Kubernetes containers."

Small problem with that. Most of the progressive enterprises are trying to move AWAY from containers to fully serverless architectures (Lambda, Google functions, Azure, etc.)

Kubernetes is still hot but the momentum is definitely with Lambda and its ilk.
This is orthogonal. Many languages traditionally considered functional do not enforce referential transparency, and nothing prevents you from building referentially transparent functions in an OO language.
Thanks for all of the information. One thing I need to work on more is writing. I workout every day and track my workouts religiously.

It is normalization bias. Teenagers dancing to <new music> is dangerous! Organized crime, oligarchs, epidemics, pollution, car accidents? A shrug and "Eh what can you do about them."

Vox (which owns The Verge) was explicitly created as a left/progressive news organization. The founders come from The Howard Dean campaign, Daily Kos, The American Prospect, etc.

I'm not exactly shocked that they dislike Scott Walker.
