This doesnt make sense to me. Core internet community experiences to me have always been about smaller sites, message boards, mailing lists, chatrooms, voice chat groups, etc.

Seeing large corporation websites like tumblr, reddit, facebook crack down on content doesn't stop any of that. it just means you need to get out of your internet bubble.
I think there is room for 30 - 50 curated niche search engines - done similar but different then the old dmoz and yahoo.

In so many ways google is failing many niches that it once served well. I have been doodling ideas on how to do some of those niches better, like adult.
>DNA can go places the owner has never been

Damn right it can. I was on a business trip alone and found some of my wife’s hair in my bed. I know it was hers because there was some more on a jacket in my luggage. I know testing hair isn’t exactly straight forward, but that was her DNA in a country she’s never even been to.
> That's like saying cryptography is faulty since if someone encrypted an important document and threw away the key, it would be irrecoverable.

No, it is like saying cryptography has important long term consequences. I don't even see any synonyms for "fault" in the post.

There are mechanisms if someone is careful about their estate planning, the issue is we have a great deal of evidence that most people don't do estate planning [0] and the courts have to clean up the mess.

Kkarakk is completely correct in saying that a (potentially non-technical) spouse or heir is being exposed to an exciting new way of losing large sums of money that they are entitled to. This is clearly a disadvantage of cryptocurrency, even if it is an intentional part of the design.

Do you like memes? Do you like playing with numbers and theory-crafting or playing with content ranking and economy? We have a vision in which we empower everyone to communicate through memes, not just by creating or sharing memes but becoming a part of it.

At the heart of this product is our cognitive systems which solves problems like video content recommendation, video deduplication, visual understanding, and natural language generation.

You'll be part of the "Feelit" (name not final!!1!) product team and will help build our server-less and micro-services backend systems using sql, ruby, nodejs, and python. You will help scale and maintain our infrastructure on AWS.

We're laid back (I mean come on, we're making a video app for memes) and fun to work with. Although its a stress free and creative work environment we take our features and product releases seriously. Other benefits include flexible working hours, remote working days, extended Japanese holidays, and stock options.

You'll work out of our HQ in Harajuku, the center of pop-culture in Japan. Your colleagues are engineers from all over the world: Japan, Australia, China, India, Mexico, United Kingdom, and the United States of America (point is we're very diverse; gotta catch 'em all).

You can chill with our engineers and growth hackers on discord:
https://discord.gg/PnT7pYw or joins us in /r/memeeconomy discord server https://discord.gg/9k23tK9 (Look for users with Feelit Dev)

Thirded - in a slightly different context. (See also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5275313#5276744)

I’m currently managing data reduction for a bunch of space mission simulations using make. A simulation dumps a bunch of files as python pickles, which are reduced into csv, and then made into plots, and then into webpages. Each phase of this is in the makefile. None of the transformation rules are standard compilation macros like you expect to find in a makefile.

The setup makes it easy to update all the summary webpages when more sims are run. Just “make html”. It re-accumulates all the summary metrics, redoes graphics, remakes webpages.

This is the kind of processing pipeline that is often done in shell or with driver scripts, but then you always have to remake everything. I like the setup a lot.

Moviepass Hit with Class-Action Lawsuit
If I understand this correctly he is saying that much of the private information collected is actually not needed in order to achieve the desired outcome ("everybody wins").

He points out that tracking companies pay websites to allow them to collect this information, but (through examples) he argues that companies do not actually need the information that is being collected.

This begs some questions: Do these tracking companies remain solvent? Who is buying the information they collect? Are the buyers happy with the product/service? Is their usage of the data effective or just experimental?

I am willing to bet those tracking companies are operating based solely on investments, not licensing/sales of the data. That is, their future is uncertain.

We cannot put the genie back in the bottle. Whether or not the data works for the purposes it was collected, copies of the data will still exist. If the tracking companies fail, who gets the data then?

An ongoing effort will continue in trying to find a use for all this collected personal information by whomever shall come into possession of it.

How do you all think that will turn out? Should there be more regulation on how that data can be used?

BTW, another nice bit of work from this author which only got two points when it was posted on HN a few weeks ago:

It actually works the opposite. Every time a heist or loss happens, coins are being removed from circulation, making all remaining circulating coins more scarce, thus more valuable in the long term (market takes a while to reflect this).

In heists, the coins become tainted and very difficult to sell as everyone can see their origin.

Mtgox removed quite a lot of BTC from the circulating supply.

I will say in a way yes it does. If the CEO has to sign off on funding for projects you basically have to align your projects to something they appreciate because otherwise headcount and other resources will go to other organizations.

The world is full of devices that are not open platforms for alternative operating systems. And the world is full of operating systems that are not open to commodity hardware. If you don't like Apple's choice in focusing on their particular solution which involves intimate software-hardware integration, the answer is to buy from a competitor that focuses on commodity products.

Personally I'm pleased that Apple is making their operating system the way they do. If Apple changed to suit your priorities, that would come at the expense of my priorities.
In short, Kubernetes does not abstract any APIs.
There are some ways to use things like Terraform to deploy and run in different cloud environments, but those API have different features that are inherrent and not transferrable.
There are some portals listed on this similar recent hn thread, in which I added to a similar comment,
( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19040384 ) - basically that for many people the internet is google, and for many, especially in other countries from what I have read, 'the internet' is facebook.

It appears many people do not know how to use urls or ask people about other portals.

If facebook censors it, they may never know it every existed on the internet. For others if Google doesn't show it on the first page of results - it does not exist.

I should of seen this coming years ago I noticed when I would tell people to go to whatever-site-url.com - they would open a browser and put that into the search box.

Heck people put google.com into the box and search for it rather then enter a url and hit ctrl-enter.

Now many phones and tablets are also defaulting search boxes, browsers, and voice searches to be using these censoring services - not showing ways to escape these bubbles, solidifying the walls of the garden.
I agree. This is exemplified by the author of the original piece that started the media storm, Jeff Bercovici himself, in his sorry excuse of an apologetic article after the suicide (https://www.inc.com/jeff-bercovici/austen-heinz.html):

"I didn't know anything about Austen Heinz when I met him, except that his behavior seemed to confirm certain notions I had about the way young men in the tech industry too often behave. To wit: They're oblivious to the concerns of women, and blind to their own biases; they talk endlessly about changing the world with technology while building frivolous things; they're arrogant and lacking in tact. I had a mental box marked "Silicon Valley tech bro" and his chatter about making women's sex organs more aesthetically pleasing fit neatly into it."

I didn't know anything about about Bercovici until this post on HN but his writing seems to confirm certain notions I have about the way clueless tech media people like him cover "entrepreneurship and innovation" in the Valley (this guy is now SF bureau chef of Inc., BTW) in their trigger-happy, zero-research way. His "breezy article" not only greatly harmed Austen Heinz but also seems to have done so for Audrey Hutchinson, the founder of Sweet Peach, who, after 4 years is now a manager in a NYC art gallery. I hope the clicks Inc. and other media outlets got out of this thread were worth it.

And so the bias wars continue to take their toll.
This really resonates

I know people that have gotten equivalent offers.
A previous workplace has thousands of tens of thousands of tests and about 2-3% fail per build.

I don’t know why the developers don’t care but I suspect they’ve learned to ignore specific tests which repeatedly fail.

Like in most development places management doesn’t give a flying shit about all of the tests passing if it means a feature will ship.

Probably they’re mostly older tests and so fixing them detracts from adding a new fancy feature
This is just awful. I would like to throw my hat into the ring with an anecdotal story that Dell was good to me in the past. It was a few days before the warranty gave out and a printer shorted the USB to 240V, a bang, flash of light and the magic smoke was gone. I contacted them asking whether the USB bus had poly fuses and they told me I had warranty (this was a second hand laptop and I wasn't aware of this). I sent it away, one week later a large number of components (motherboard, USB buses, sound board, webcam, etc) were replaced, as well as the keyboard that I hinted was unreliable.

My point is, something that was clearly accident and not a result of their product being faulty, they fixed the device for me with no questions asked. For that, a tip of the beanie and a future customer. I wish more customer-company relationships were like this and I hope that Dell don't change.

On a different note, can we please pass laws globally that:

1. Allow for the right to self/3rd party repair - where you can't sign an agreement to waiver those rights

2. Replacement parts at a sane price (markup), especially if the part to be fixed is the result of an engineering design fault

3. Prevent device manufacturers from making the process of dismantling a device a destructive one, i.e using glue, welds, etc

4. Internally used service materials should be freely available with the device (even if proof of ownership is required to access them) in the language of the Country being sold to

5. Increase the warranty for parts that shouldn't break quickly (modern laptops should last for at least 5 years) - i.e. the difference between a battery (expected to wear faster) and a CPU (not expected to wear)

6. Damage markers are not to be used to void warranty (i.e. Apple's water damage markers that can even be triggered by humidity)

There would more likely be factional genetic warfare than natural born poor people or wealthy genetic adonises.

If you're thinking in terms of poor and rich, then you haven't really thought through all the implications of continuous improvement in genetic engineering. You wouldn't have poor natural born and wealthy genetically engineered. You would have old "obsoletes" trying to hold off supremely ambitious and young "moderns". And it would all be along an age spectrum so that different cohorts with different abilities would group together due to tribalism.

Think of a dystopia where you might have something like groups of 20 to 30 year olds out hunting the 5 to 15 year old children of the 40 to 50 year olds. (Because the kids are light years ahead of them in terms of abilities and they saw what happened to the cohorts before them.)

Maybe not exactly that, but that's more along the lines of the genetic factionalism that would arise with genetically engineered humans. The great hero of mankind would be the guy who finally figured out how to genetically engineer out the tribalism in humans. Finally allowing us all to live in peace together even if we're out of date in terms of our genetic engineering. (Which almost everyone would be by the time they were 10 or 15.)
