I second it. The site looks a bit old and the articles are quite long, giving it that rambling madman feel. But it's all good stuff by a qualified researcher.

I disagree.

My main is a 12+ year account of reddit. I think the site is more useful than it ever has been.

I’m in a variety of subs, genres spanning many interests and have mod on several.

Sure there are accounts focused on upvotes. But not only can this be corrected, you see this on all social platforms now.

TikTok, for its youth and growth has this and that platform—though it boasts leading edge media presentation—is completely without the real and deep comment threads you find all of the time on reddit.

You find more “shitpost” content and commentators on major networks, local news and even newspapers as they attempt to keep up with what grows out of subs every day.

There is stuff discussed in subs that is incredibly serious and you won’t find talked about as openly anywhere else on the internet.

If anything the site is undervalued and growing.

It's funny that you say you think recommendation systems cause a monoculture of content. I actually think that recommenders have lead to less of a monoculture then ever seen before.

It used to be that everyone in a geographic region would read the same newspapers, watch the same news stations, and listen to the same radio stations. Causing people to mostly be exposed to all the same content. However, now with recommendation algorithms everyone gets exposed to a totally different news diet.
As someone who has been addicted to both, I'll say that the Juul wasn't as big a psychological torment as cigarettes.

With the Juul, you can almost honestly say you're enjoying the experience.

With a cigarette your mouth taste terrible, it burns your throat/sinuses, and you only get the nicotine 'high' which is, at best, an abatement of nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

So when I kept smoking cigarettes "against my will" it was really confusing and maddening.
I deleted a couple of responses to this but the short version is that no, Skia (the affected component) is not being updated through the Play Store Framework. Flippant responses to security issues are not useful.
Agreed on principle but not sure it can be bootstrapped.

We can't afford child care HELP?
Please I'm in desperate need of advice!! Me and my boyfriend live together and we're expecting a baby in November. We both have decent jobs that allow us to pay the bills and live comfortably. Unfortunately, we don't make enough for me to be a stay at home mom. And we can barely afford child care. We make about $500 less (gross pay) than the requirement to get childcare assistance thru the state (WI). Our bills (that we NEED, not WANT) cannot be downgraded or be rid of. If I took a job (part-time) that allows us to qualify for childcare assistance, then we wouldn't be able to afford our bills. I plan on returning to school in January to get my Associate's degree. My boyfriend doesn't have additional education to get a better paying job (nor has the money to return to school). WHAT DO WE DO HERE? We don't have anybody that can help us either (they all have to work full time too).

I probably shouldn't let myself get dragged into this discussion, but I think BCH splitters didn't want lightning and used the excuse of not increasing block sizes to fork. SegWit's initial purpose was to fix the bugs that were stopping lightning. Block size was not increased because BTC devs want people to go towards lightning. They specifically indicated that block size might increase in the future. The fact that current transaction speeds do will not accommodate the entire planet is a bit of a strawman. Nobody needs that capacity right now and I think it remains to be seen if there will ever be the need. Not everybody who thinks BTC is potentially useful thinks that it must be used by the entire planet in order to be useful.

Just to be clear, I think it's great to call out the scammers and educate the deluded. I just think that taking a binary stance of either it will work the way the scammers say it will or it's a useless pile of garbage is not a reasonable position. I think there are lots of serious problems with BTC, but as a proof of concept decentralised payment processing system it's actually pretty interesting. I wish the scammers would go away and let people work on it earnestly, though. In that way, I really thought that having the BCH guys go their separate ways was a true blessing.
>unprovoked

I think you could argue the existence of a platform for managing women as chattel is provocation enough.
There's far more egregious things. For instance in Western Africa there remains massive child slavery. The reason this is relevant, as if it wasn't by itself, is that that slavery is then facilitated in bringing you your tasty chocolate treats from companies such as Nestle, Hersheys, Mars, and more. This has been going on for decades and has been brought to court multiple times - the companies always win with generally negligible media coverage. Lack of media coverage notwithstanding, AP did run a new piece on it... 3 days ago. [1] Seafood is another huge industry where you see lots of slavery in its harvesting and production. Incidentally, Nestle also shows up there with their Purina brand.

This is not a 'what about chocolate or seafood' but a general frustration I have with people today. They (and this is not directed at you) are grossly misinformed on the state of the world, even though the information is more readily available than ever before. They protest completely inane stuff like it's the end of the world, while completely ignoring the tremendous human rights abuses throughout the world that continue to this very day. If people shined a light on these 24/7 it's possible that something could happen. Even back to Saudi Arabia, not only is there their treatment of women but they still literally crucify people, still literally execute people for "witchcraft and sorcery", and much more. These stories do receive one off coverage, but nothing compared to e.g. a scientist who wore a shirt with some scantily clad girls. Makes all of 'social media justice' look like little more than a bunch of useful idiots. [2]

I feel like lately there's been more politics, in terms of news articles as well as comments along the lines of "boo Google" or "boo Facebook", and less new software, people announcing their personal projects with Show HN, interesting comp sci concepts, and that sort of thing.

A good example is this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19140862

The investors (Sequoia being the big one) will want to cash out at some point, and then it's either an IPO or an exit. The most likely buyers in an exit-scenario would be platform owners like Apple, Google or Microsoft, which would be terrible for Unity's viability as a cross-platform tool (or at least look that way - just see the reactions that came after Microsoft bought GitHub). Or they get bought by Epic/Tencent, and the market becomes a monopoly, which is pretty damn bad as well. So under the circumstances I think an IPO is by far the lesser evil, even though I do share your concerns about the shortsightedness of public investors (though I'd argue that's a general problem and not a problem with Unity specifically)

I don’t get the hate against SPA’s. An SPA done right offers amazing interactibily and instant navigation to new views. You already have the templates cached. They probably load from a cdn with good caching policy. If done well you can totally run offline.

Sure you can build with php, laravel, django. The promise of SPA is a clean separation of UI from the APIs. The same REST APIs that external customers use is the same API you develop on. See travis-ci as an example. It’s the same api that the mobile apps can use.

This separation allows the api to return very lightweight stateless responses. You can scale much better when there is less state kungfu.

The UI can manage the state in very responsive manner. No round trips, instant 60fps render.

And no JavaScript is not slow. It’s just that people don’t know it well and end up loading megs of bloated libs with a 1000 ad tracking libraries.

Don’t throw the baby with the bathwater.
It exists, sort of. There's a "halal search engine"[1]. Iran has something like the Great Firewall of China.[2] Saudi Arabia has official censorship, and they're open about it; there's a web form for requesting that something be censored, and blocked sites divert to a page saying it's blocked.[3] It seems that Iran's system is fairly tight, but the Saudi system isn't really that strict.

On the other side, there are multiple "kosher ISPs" with cloud-based filtering. There are even "glatt kosher" ISPs.[4] "The Secured program will block pornography and violence; Secured Plus will also block women wearing intimate apparel; Secured Squared and Protected will filter out any immodest clothing; and Sealed will enable access only to sites with religious and modest content." In Israel, there are "kosher phones", which are either voice only or can't access the web at all. They just run rabbi-approved apps.[5]

The signature of the interface is the same, yes. But, if the behavior changes it can still break users. I'm fully in support of strong typing and SemVer and all that good stuff - I was just responding to your comment which I interpreted to mean that a language like Haskell has a full solution to the problem of breakage, which I don't believe it does. It's certainly in a better position that many other language in the types of breakage it can detect just from the function signatures, however.
In my experience, the best way to do good front page is to blacklist all the crap with RES, so you might still find something new from time to time, but in general enjoy much more clean experience. This also works well in reducing time spent on the site, since the r/all pretty much stays constant during the day.
I love this quote. Neutrality has enabled some of the greatest evils in history. I think it is impossible to be neutral and also be a force for good.
Every subject has its own slant or “bias” if you choose based on how it defines itself and the sorts of problems it tackles. That’s certainly worth examining, but maybe not particularly good fodder for takedown articles.

This sentence in the abstract is probably the most revealing about the goals and yes biases of the article’s author: “meaning that governmental paternalism is called upon to steer people with the help of ‘nudges.‘“

In other words this isn’t really about examining whether the field is productive on its own terms but it’s about picking a political fight under the guise of a methods critique. The author seems convinced that behavioral economic results demand governmental intervention, and so he attacks the premise of the entire field.

Maybe better material for a polisci journal.

Russia has less than 1/12th the US’s GDP. They simply have less demand for this stuff.
Yeah, the price was $19k. Therefore, by very definition, people bought at $19k. Otherwise the price wouldn't have been ... ah, it's hard to get through to people sometimes.

It always cracks me up when people demand "proof" of something like this. I mean, I know some of the people from there from way back, and the project was eventually canceled, so there literally was "no output". And they had pretty much complete carte blanche on everything and could bikeshed over the most inane and inconsequential things for months on end. It was a fun "job" while it lasted, though.
Closure language and closure compiler are two different things. One is a lispy functional language with its own syntax, the other is a jsdoc typechecker and optimizer/monicker.

Big +1. Also design that favors metrics. Why did they include this one thing? Why did they remove the other? They're probably pushing you to use the site in a way that increases time spent on site by xx%.
For various reasons the internet maps much closer to GDP than Population. But, largely it’s a case of smaller economies driving less advertising dollars which supports fewer websites. So it’s also weighted more to consumer spending than raw GDP.

It was 30 degrees below zero in Chicago a couple weeks ago, and the experience was a lot like what life on Mars would be like. Spending nearly 100% of your time inside your habitat, and going outside is a big deal that requires a lot of preparation.

The founding team needs someone who understands the technology very well, and can build at least a prototype themselves. They need to be good at identifying the best people to hire, convincing them to join, and motivating them to solve the important problems for the business. And they need to convince customers to start using a half-baked version 1 so they can get feedback and improve the product.

Where r/conspiracy and r/redpill meet... Presumably you're talking about Sessue Hayakawa, and the same nonsense appears on his Wikipedia page, supported by citations that don't actually support the assertions.

> The more I study American history, the Japanese interment camps, the racist treatment of Asian Americans, the genocide against 50+ million Native Americans, Opium war, Boxer rebellion, vietnam war, hiroshima

I would recommend studying some Chinese or Japanese history too if you think American historical behaviour is in any way particularly notable, other than an unusual willingness for Americans to want to atone to it, compared to most other countries.

> Russia will be free to wreck havoc on the general internet, without domestic impact

This is like demolishing one’s cities to claim immunity from nuclear attack. There’s no reason the damage couldn’t have been incurred at a later date, only when necessary.

Disconnecting from the world will leave Russia economically, scientifically, culturally and thus militarily poorer. The only reason the decision makes sense is it helps keep Putin and his gang in power.
Well... Rust has some safety features, but 1. so do others (Go is a Google project...), 2. it helps with some things and less with others. So yeah, if you have the resources, using Rust/Go/whatever and taking a security-first view is sensible. It's not a silver bullet, but it's probably helpful.

Outcome 5 - After the custom evil Android is a success, Saudi men decide that the default government app isn't enough. They decide to have all their wives chipped/tagged when they take them in for their vaccinations.

A Saudi startup that basically is the 'Google Nest of oppression' becomes a unicorn company by plugging into the GPS from the chip which enables new forms of tracking. They'll get live video feeds, sentiment analysis and child rearing effectiveness scores all rolled into one app. Multiple wives? No problem - you can compare and contrast all of them in the app.

So glad everyone got Google to remove the original app, instead of thinking of ways to combat the root cause of the problem. At least there's another unicorn startup because of it. /s
