You realize that 89 people out of 1300 residents voted against the Comcast deal. That is not the same as a majority of residents voting for a tax increase to pay for internet. So no, the people that will be taxed overwhelmingly did not agree to this.

I mean .. that's really no different than anybody else's marketing tactics. You should read up on Edward Bernays; the father of manipulative advertising.
Perhaps, perhaps not, nevertheless why not opensource? I would just remove the word "instead" from the question.
Maybe I’m singing, “Don’t Ban The Bomb”[0], but algorithmic advertising literally pays the mortgage and puts food on my table.

You can live your life just fine. No one is interfering with it. No more than getting a flier in the mail asking if you want to drive for Uber is a big disruption. In fact, enough people find some level advertising useful, and have for literally hundreds of years.

Gatekeeping and the news media
Replace “no office politics” with “functional office politics”, the answer is yes.

The problem isn’t politics itself. It’s dysfunction, aka “dark patterns” aka antisocial behavior. The other problem is headlines like this one which, as other commenters have already pointed out, create confusion around an otherwise worthwhile topic.

Plenty of places sell vegetarian sandwiches. 50 cents of thin sliced turkey does not a sandwich make.

> Would you as a customer feel okay getting that response?

I've had some great veggie sandwiches, the one I described above wasn't a great example, it was purposefully minimalist to prove a point.

Shove some sliced grilled eggplant on there and it'd all be good.

And how in the world are you OK with a grilled cheese being a sandwich but if someone pokes a hole in the bread and uses cream cheese it now is no longer a sandwich?

Is a grilled cheese sandwich with a circular hole cut out of the center a sandwich? What if it isn't grilled? I'm trying to understand where is the line is here!
YES. It's very easy to write good commit messages; what's much harder is making "good" (as in: atomic, understandable) commits. I know I'm just restating what you said, but...I just agree very strongly.

The Three Body Problem is entirely a set up for the other books. It does indeed have social commentary- but that social commentary is coming from a Chinese perspective.
It's incorrect to characterize this as "treating people as lesser" in a blanket fashion by virtue of their work agreement.

In some cases that might be the sentiment, in others it might not be.

I think the primary disconnect here is that Google's amenities and benefits look lavish when compared to a subcontracted companies, but Google is held to the same rules as other companies with less lavish benefits.

So for example let's say I work for company x and we have normal corporate benefits. If we take a consulting contract with a small company or startup with no employee benefits, our 401k and health care benefits look great in comparison. So I don't care if I don't get a swag bag after a good production push. If the same company contracts with Google, then the 401k and health look paltry in comparison.

So it seems like people want different rules for these major companies, which is not how the law works.
I can't see it. In my world, penises are a little bit bigger than those proportions... might as well see a heart in the logo. I actually like the logo, as it looks like two things overlapping each other which can be moved to be aligned.

But the articles definition is any time a decision is made that applies to a group is politics. So unless every individual is working entirely independently and never talking to anyone else, there’s politics. Now in your case these sound like healthy politics - everyone respects everyone, and there’s none of the negative connotation. But being able to convince someone else your design is right is still politics.
They already monetize joy. Is monetizing grief worse? Why? What about monetizing neither? What's the signal to pivot the relevance model significantly away from a world full of robots constantly self-optimizing to exploit emotions they cannot understand or share?

I actually disagree and have wondered myself how he got such a book published in China. He is very critical of China's history throughout the series and collectivism.

How, exactly, are they supposed to know that? The bigger issue here is everyone expecting Facebook to somehow be omnipotent. They're not. They are a sharing platform that makes money by selling targeted ads. They're not all knowing.

Thanks for your take on this one. I was in Baghdad around the same time, Army, but a half step removed from combat arms. A decade removed from that now, I agree with you. In the moment, I think that dehumanization is a necessary side effect of combat. It lets you come to terms with everything slowly over time, rather than dealing with it all at once.

Interestingly, this was a management team read at my current employer. It isn’t seen as the only way to manage - more of a kick to have people own more of their responsibilities rather than deferring to others.
There are only two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation and naming things.
One thing I like about HN is its lightweight, unobtrusive, and respectful design.

Not for cyanide. It occurs in nature far to frequently for us not to be well suited to clear it. Our bodies even convert it to B12 in some cases. A hand full of nuts (organic, free-range, et al) will likely have more hydrogen cyanide than the anti-caking agent in table salt.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have.

Coincidence... I was just working on such an optimisation. But rather than compression as some commenters suggested, the method is to use separate cache lines for the low and high 32-bit halves, re-encoding values so that small signed and unsigned integers and JVM-style compressed pointers (> 4GiB) only need the low half, and keeping track of when the high half is not required.

That saves cache space. Cache bandwidth to main memory can also be reduced, which also reduces energy consumption on the memory bus, but this is considerably more complicated and involves changes to the ECC encoding.

The same method works with 32-bit pointers, non-pointer integers, and JVM-style compressed pointers over a larger than 32-bit range.

These methods don't save RAM, but they do reduce cache pressure and memory bandwidth.
Lots of things don't work without javascript (I assume you meant to ask what does work without javascript), but HN, for example, does work without javascript.

Honestly, it’s a turn off for me; or rather a small annoyance. But if true, it must work for most people if true, though I’m having a hard time imagining people not slightly annoyed at this ad behavior.

No this is about running userspace x32 programs that will make x32 syscalls with 32bit pointers.

Ship lighting is standardised and very specific (you can always tell which way a ship is facing by the lights for example).

I’m not an expert in visual science, but I suspect it is easier to tell _multiple_ ships apart when they have fewer lights.

But it wasn't a human computer. It was a trisolarian computer made up of trisolarians that were alien beings that had the ability to do things like hyper-fast communication and always be truthful. Both of those traits could actually make for a viable computer system whereas humans obviously would not. I can see how you may have thought that though because in the 3 body problem simulation "game" in the book the trisolarians are represented as humans (the author does point out the difference though)

On a side note, is our system of government really all that different from a mass human computer?
To me this is just so sad. With a bit of empathy you can actually tell them that you are busy or not in the mood. It only gets awkward because or if you try saying it without saying it, if you show them you feel uncomfortable (in what could be a completely natural interaction between people in the same group who spend a significant amount of time around each other). The other person probably feels a bit lonely if they try to find somebody to talk to repeatedly. Of course, the direct approach works best if there actually is empathy, in the story here the only feeling shown for the other person is a pretty negative one.
>"My point is simply that I’m not sure a purely municipal broadband is the panacea we all hope for."

I have never heard of it referred to as a "panacea." What it is is an alternative and some competition.

I fail to see how having another option where there is now none could ever be worse than "sticking with the devil you know." Look at what either the arrival or even the threat of Google fiber has done is some cable monopoly areas.

There was a thread about this about a month ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18535748

"This one is funny, and has a couple of obvious solutions that have been prevented due to internal politics. The short answer is that they have a couple of different recommender systems, all competing against each other internally for sales lift.
One is purely based off of pageviews. When you get recommendations for something you already bought, many times it is because you looked at it, but they don't know nor care if you already bought it. In their words, it works really well and accounting for sales brings in a lot of needless complexity.

Another is based off of sales. They also don't care if you already bought it because according to them, it works well. I remember trying to point out to them that for some types of products (specifically consumable products) this would work really well, but durables not so much. They claimed otherwise, that although they couldn't explain it, it was entirely common for people to rebuy things like vacuum cleaners and TVs and kitchen knives. I did a tiny bit of research to show them why they thought that, and proved with a small segment (vacuum cleaners, I believe), that after you filter for returns and replacements, that the probability of sequentially buying two of the same vacuum cleaner was effectively zero. They asked me to do it for the rest of their products, but I didn't have limitless time to spend on helping another team, especially one with a PM who was a complete dick to me for having the audacity to make a suggestion that he hadn't thought of.

In all, I believe there are a dozen or so recommender services, each with their own widget. There are tons of people that think all of the recommenders have merits in some areas and drawbacks in others, and the customer would be better off if they merged concepts into a single recommender system. But they all compete for sales lift, they all think their system is better than the other systems, and they refuse to merge concepts or incorporate outside ideas because they all believe they are fundamentally superior to the other recommenders. Just a small anecdotal glimpse at the hilariously counterproductive internal politics at Amazon."
What kind of inside information would not come from inside an organisation?

Are we talking about unauthorised access of information or something else?
I am coming to the conclusion that the only way to beat the system is to not play in the system. Or play as little as possible. I no longer go on FB, Instagram or Amazon. I do my best to just be anonymous. I don't "need" to hang out on social media. I lived quite happily before these services even existed, and will continue without them. We have control. We can resist their shiny toys. If we are waiting for THEM (or politicians) to fix these problems, we will die of old age waiting. It's antithetical to their business and self-interests. The only way to make them less powerful is to not give them your data. That is the source of their power. Information.

I despise Comcast like everyone here but I'm not sure I would be so happy about municipal internet service unless there was some way to make it not suck. I'm speaking from experience, I used to live in San Bruno that has San Bruno Cable and it's one of the worst customer support experiences I've ever had in my life. I'm currently living in the East Bay, I have Comcast and while I had my share of issues with them both service and experience has been better. Is it even possible to have good internet service in this country?
> so a competitive market won't stay competitive forever just by existing

Certainly. If we consider "competitive market" under the same rubric that you proposed: "areas where occasional failure and/or occasional required provider changes are tolerable", it clearly fails that test. So we can probably say that ensuring a stable, competitive market may be a government's responsibility.
