"HDI has a total of 403 apartments in Helsinki and the neighbouring city of Espoo." Wikipedia says that the city has a population of about 643 thousand, so there is one apartment per 1600 of population. San Francisco should then provide around 550 apartments. What sort of dent does that make in the San Francisco homeless problem?

The BBC article mentions housing the formerly homeless with families and friends, and I have to think this makes up a pretty large part of the housing. It seems to me that this must require a degree of something in between persuasion and coercion.
The issue is, a deep fake, is clearly a parody. This can't be argued. That's the purpose of a deep fake at its root.

So you need a more narrow definition. If I do a deep fake of Melania giving Trump a golden shower in Moscow, that goes way beyond parody, even though it is, technically, by definition, parody.

So there is no way to say that is not a personal attack, AND there is no way to say that is not a parody.

That's the loophole that needs to be closed. You can try to argue that showing a hot school teacher or some male cop performing oral on a roomful of men was only parody, but if you get away with it there will be about 20 seconds before the law is changed. All the activists and the law enforcement people will claim that we just can't have video of every ex-girlfriend, cop, school teacher, or boss in the nation involved in whatever sexual activity seems the most degrading.
> Acquisition by Google is the only reason YouTube exists. If they had to pay for their networking they could not have survived (Google owns its own fiber and doesn't pay anyone for transit).

Even if that's true (which I doubt), Google is not the only company that owns fiber.

> If you are taking a consumer benefit angle I don't see how you conclude that Google should have been prevented from buying YouTube.

The GP was talking about a "shift away" from the "'consumer welfare' view of anti-trust," because that view permits acquisitions like that of YouTube by Google.
That is a nice sentiment, but I can tell you based on personal experience that it is a pipe dream. Leads are usually the bottleneck or the foundation of an investigation. When they start drying up, everything slows down, and everyone starts to get worried that they will just run out of places to investigate. Rekogition is probably marginally more effective than the face matching software that our LE already uses to find possible leads.
I have a tendency to uninstall apps that break the back navigation swipe, because this usually means they ditched standard navigation elements for their custom thing that's flashy and likely broken.

People already treat them very separately, I'd be surprised if most of the public (not HN) even knows that Google owns YT.
We can take it a step further. Maybe they can have exclusive communities where they only live together. And they can then "enable" each other by only buying from each other.

This is a dumbass idea in a field of dumbass ideas.
I remember there being this shell/terminal hybrid that was a really advanced TUI. The best way I can describe it is, it was a blackboard/whiteboard you could run commands on. So you could have multiple commands running, and see their outputs scattered across the board (you could move things around with the mouse). Also had features like exploring filesystem trees, and inline images (I think). Can't remember what it was called and Google isn't helping :(
I don't gamble, and know almost nothing about it, but this sounds fishy to me. It's either a marketing expense, which the article does allude to, or they're really bad at what they do.
The problem is most of the time I want them to not animate, but occationally I do want them to at the time of my choosing and poentially multiple times (most or all of the ones I want are explaining something that I want to learn). A play button next to the animated image with autoplay disabled would be best for me. Meanwhile "annoyance" blocklists remove some of the worst.
Ah, great!

I can confirm z.lua feels really snappy compared to autojumper after disabling the git related stuff! :) So now I should find a way to make the git prompt faster.

I wouldn't say they compete directly as one is obviously targeted at corporate and the other is targeted at gamers. But they are extremely similar and even the UI, while themed completely different, is extremely similar.
Agree about a) [but: doesn't that rather contradict "it's not unixy"... ].

I don't think anyone considers Discord a competing product. It targets a different market/userbase than Slack.

Slack is very much setup for business use and integrations.

Discord has a bot API, but it's mostly focused around realtime chat for communities (like a community-focused Skype).

They're very similar, but serve different purposes and different markets

Platform9 tackles Kubernetes on VMWare with new managed service
Discord isn't really a Slack competing product as much as it's a Teamspeak and Mumble competing product... or at least at the start.

Initially it was just easy to use VOIP with rich text chat channels. Now they've added in video calls and a video game store meaning they're more gunning for Steam and even less for Slack.

I do not see them as being Slack competing. They're too casually focused to be a threat in an enterprise environment.
It's already been moving from a developer-focused chat platform to one almost hyper-focused on attracting enterprise sales. Slack built its first stage on the backs of developer evangelism and good integrations with third-party providers (something HipChat ignored / did poorly). And once they took that as far as they could go, they went full enterprise.

I think the big tipping point for me was when they changed their chat retention policy from one focused on balanced user privacy, to one focused on whatever your boss wants to get their hands on.

I think Slack had a nice balance between privacy and legal accountability before. Basically, there needed to be some serious event to warrant your boss snooping on your messages (because both parties would be notified it was happening). Now, it appears they are moving more towards a model of "your boss can covertly just peak at whatever they want, whenever they want."

60 Rules for Short SF (and Fantasy) - Terry Bisson
One thing I can't help but notice is that Discord and its API are pretty unreliable. My bot and users regularly encounter unavailability errors. But mainly my bot.

It makes me wish I could pay a monthly fee to get better service, but in reality I'm sharing the same freely-distributed resources as any spammy Discord server. For example, I've been in Discord servers incessantly spammed by its users counting to the number 1,000,000, messages scrolling by like access logs during a DDoS. And I'm sitting there chuckling, "my server is in the same bucket as these people?"

At least Slack lets you pay them for an uptime SLA. I don't think I'd use Discord for a serious venture.

That said, surely your niche plays a large role in which one you pick. I'm somewhat in the gaming niche and Discord was a no-brainer. Gamers/teens are already on a dozen other Discord servers. Meanwhile, all of the Slack groups I'm a part of are professional.
Kind of funny to me that two business communication/productivity apps would be named Slack and Discord.

CMU did (maybe still does?) have a mandatory, once-a-week course to orient new students to logging in to *nix workstations, setting file permissions and copying files around on AFS, etc. Whether this was just for CIT or university-wide I cannot recall.
This is a real thing and not just some dude who thinks he's really smart and everybody else isn't. I coached a public HS debate team in Chicago for eight years and the problem really does start there in school. Most teenagers are not only frightened of public speaking (I had a student vomit on the podium out of anxiety) they have almost zero experience with someone asking them to give an account of themselves, neither from an adult or a peer. Because college in this country is equally unchallenging, a lot of these issues are being taken unmodified into adulthood
I guess in big cities like Cologne, Berlin and Munich, it's probably equivalent. In and around Aachen, the bus schedule is more of a "definitely not before" schedule (e.g. "09:30 Bushof" does not mean "bus will be around 09:30 at the bushof", it means "bus will definitely not be at the bushof before 09:30, but some time after that, and before the next one is scheduled to go").

It's not reliably late, either: some days it's 1 minute late, some days 10.

You also can't see when it will be late: there does not seem to be live tracking that tells you within a minute when the bus will actually be there. I only recently found the website from the local company that can tell the difference between "within 5 minutes on time" and "more than 5 minutes late". It tells you "+3" (rounded to the minute it seems) but that could mean anything between +3 and, say, +8, and after the departure time +3 minutes, it just removes it from the departures list, even if you're standing at the stop and you're sure quite sure it hasn't left yet...

Deutsche Bahn and Öffi claim to have realtime data but they don't.

Having to get info from disparate companies is another thing: in the Netherlands there is a collective of public transport companies (iirc it's NDOV) that creates a common standard that apps and websites can use for information (things like the coordinates of all stations and stops, schedules, and delays precise to a few seconds).

It just seems like a big mess, probably due to the lower population density. On the upside, that lower density means you actually have nature: I can drive an hour and be in the middle of nowhere. Having that space is kind of nice. That just doesn't exist in the Netherlands (there doesn't seem to be any place more than 500 metres removed from any road, path or building).

That said,

I haven't been to the USA so I can't make that comparison. Like I said, I can't imagine what the American system must look like if it's made out to be so much worse than Germany.

On the other hand, the PO Box is provided by Royal Mail. Another delivery company (there are many who handle parcels, RM only deliver letters and small packages) would not necessarily have access to it, and certainly not the associated address.

>Maybe we need to design new audio/video formats that degrade more "artistically" when there is data loss or insufficient bandwidth.

If "art is in the eye of the beholder," then an artistic decomposition would provide inconsistent results across populations. It seems more important that the data decompose in a more repeatable and reliable way.

Idea: create a transmission format which creates specific artifacts only in the presence of certain types of interference or failure modes. The format would likely need to created on a situational basis. It seems likely that this has been created, but I've never heard of something like it.

Interesting story...going to go Slack it to my team
I am not sure who said that systemd was just an init system. While the very first blog post did call it so, it is certainly not described as such now:

Package: systemd
Description-en: system and service manager

"systemd is a suite of basic building blocks for a Linux system. It provides a system and service manager that runs as PID 1" (from https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/)

In any case, Linux is not systemd yet. You still have Arch and Gentoo at least. You will miss out the latest security features, but presumably you would not want to do this anyway.
The tie-ins with work flow management tools I get (even though most of this can be set up in Discord as well) but I think the look and tenure of the application is not really that big of a deal. If you want professional looking from a company that has been around forever then pick Microsoft Teams, otherwise pick the best one. And I have a hard time seeing Slack as better than Discord.
Someone one else would've bought YouTube. Or Vimeo would have become the #1 video site, and then maybe Microsoft or Amazon would have bought it. Still better than Google alone owning most of the biggest traffic sites.

This is really cool, some great logo redesign inspiration.

A couple of thoughts:
1) If you make the logo designs page shareable (step 2, https://mybrandnewlogo.com/logo-designs), I would love to get feedback from a few people. If you don't want to store things persistently, even storing the input params (name, color, slogan, etc) in the URL would be great.
2) I love that the name can be read as my "brand new" logo, or as my brand, new logo.

I'm not measuring by impact but by service, whether or not Amazon.com is impactful for the history of the world is not the question here.

At&T was also a monopoly created by the government. It was in no way spontaneous.
> Even if that's true (which I doubt), Google is not the only company that owns fiber.

Would you rather have Verizon owning YouTube?

Every single telco has tried to launch their own YT. They launched, and every single one of them failed.

The reason they keep failing is that they are telcos, their core capabilities do not play well with an open, network agnostic, consumer-driven video service. They'll prioritize their own content and their own network (look at Verizon and "Oath").

If you "deleted" YouTube, and both Amazon, Google, Verizon, AT&T launched video services, which ones do you think would succeed? Definitely Google's, maybe Amazon's, definitely not Verizon's or AT&T's.

Google happens to be a "third-party content access monetizing" company that owns infrastructure, not an infrastructure company trying to be a "third-party content access monetizing" company.
> Where did I say otherwise?

You didn't explicitly say otherwise, but the way you put your objection doesn't make too much sense if you were just nit-picking the fact that proof and evidence are distinct concepts and that what was called "truth" would more precisely be called "rationally justified belief" or something.

> Science doesn't allow us to make value judgements.

Yeah, actually, it does, for all intents and purposes.

> The closest ethical framework we have to allowing us to use science to make value judgements is utilitarianism.

Well, somewhat depending on details, but sure, overall I think that's a defensible statement.

> But it still relies on axiomatic assumptions about what is intrinsically good.

No, it doesn't. All it requires is consensus about what people consider good. Luckily so, as "intrinsic good" is obviously an instance of "intrinsic value" and thus nonsense for the same reason.

> The decision as to what axioms to choose is philosophy, not science.

No, it's primarily science, because (a) those axioms are decided by consensus (just as in mathematics), and consensus is oviously a thing you can only study empirically, and (b) if the choice of axioms is supposed to make any sense, it is based on observations of consequences, which are also a matter of empiricism. Of course, philosophy also deals with the question, but philosophy without the empirical observations won't get anywhere on that question.
The Government of Canada has some decent policies on that. The Directive on Management of Information Technology stipulates that government agencies must:

* Favour non-prorietary solutions
* Release source for custom-built solutions under open source licenses through Government of Canada sites

I am baffled by your post.

"We are not in a communist/socialist world"

This is EXACTLY my point. We are (at least I am) not. My government does not owe me or anyone else (let alone a foreign government) open source access to it's IP. To think otherwise (as you appear to do) is to be the socialist.

I hate to break it to you, but open source IP is socialism. I hope that does not come as some sort of shock to you.

Again to be very clear I am a fan of open source projects. I use them, I contribute to them. However, I choose how and what I use and contribute. My government does not choose for me or worse mandate via some policy that I must.

If you feel that The US government should require you to open source your in-house CnC software to the people of the DPRK because The US gave you a business development grant of $10k then you sir are the communist, not I.
I work for Google, opinions are my own.

Have there been any studies or anything on how having or breaking up large companies affects a country's competitiveness on a global scale? I feel like an extremely large company may be more competitive but this may come at the expense of other companies in the same or other industries.

FWIW I personally agree with using antitrust to break up companies that don't harm consumers despite currently benefiting from the system.
