I remember reading an article years ago (I want to say in the New Yorker in the late 90s?) that made something like this point and kinda alarmed me. It pointed out that a second generation of anti-depressants (SSRIs like Prozac) had emerged and been aggressively marketed just as patents were expiring on the first generation (Lithium?) and some troubling long-term effects with those earlier drugs were becoming apparent. It questioned the long-term effects of this new generation of pharmaceuticals. (Or even shorter-term effects whose data had not yet been fully collected and analyzed.)

I have tried periodically to relocate this article but have not yet been able to find it. It's probably old enough now that one could even evaluate the validity of its forebodings.
This sounds a lot like the initial rejection of TCP/IP.

Hi, just wanted to say how absolutely horrid this entire idea is. Domain name squatting and auctioning is already bad enough, and you're telling me we should give one of the richest companies in the world thousands of dollars for a domain name for development. This is completely counter to the spirit of the internet, and spits in the face of open source and passionate hobby developers who don't have silicon valley stock vesting every quarter. Instead of trying to get these domain names into the hands of real developers at a reasonable price, you're going to sell them to the highest bidders, squatters looking for new investments, and corporations.

Really not at all impressed by this, and it only serves as a stark reminder of the failed state of TLDs.
Gopher might be amenable to that. It's a much more limited protocol, and AFAIK doesn't allow inline images or any server-defined styling.
I feel like it's kinda expected on Twitter, but I was genuinely creeped out when it happened within 10 minutes of me posting a complaint about a company on Facebook. Ironically, my complaint about the company was that they were creepy.

I was complaining about a property management company who sent everyone in my neighborhood a letter warning us that renters would be moving in, and asking us to keep an eye on them and report back.

They showed up, really defensive, claiming that they didn't want us to spy on their renters, just report issues like if a fence had fallen over (pretty sure the renters can handle telling their landlord themselves). Then they said they were going to send a new letter to clarify.

After more of my friends replied and said their "explanation" didn't really change anything they deleted their promises, and never sent any follow up letters.

Good job company, you really convinced me you're not creepy.
> You know, the really nice thing about this part of your statement is that there's no way to tell which side you're standing...

Two points that inform my position. There is no civilian nuclear industry. Military and civilian are two sides to the same coin. Due to it's black budget military origin, that industry lies about risks out of habit. None of the public debate deals with the complex risks, dubious economics, and long tail waste issues.

I actually know almost nothing and I can see the public debate is just a bunch of deeply ignorant people spouting off. So my position, given the industry lies, the risks, and the existence of alternatives, the sooner we stop mucking around with radio-isotopes and sequester the stuff we've made the better.
This assumes competitive markets which allow them to do anything about it. For example (in the U.S. at least), when your local cable company raises prices for Internet services that effectively signals to the local telco that they can too. Sure, the market notices this but has few, if any, other options. (a big assumption is that you even have the option of both cable and telco ISP service in your area.) If all it takes to end up in this situation are NN's learning that implicit collusion is good for profitability, I'd argue that it really isn't a competitive market.
I agree, that looking - though very carefully! - into hydrogen peroxide could be a good approach. However, "hypergolic monopropellant" is like clapping with one hand. "Hypergolic" means "self-igniting by the contact with the other component", it's a property of a component of a pair, not of a single substance.

For example (see J. Clark, Ignition!) nitric acid is hypergolic with turpentine, but not hypergolic with kerosene.
The problem is that you can't stop a solid fuel engine as it has the oxidizer mixed in it, unless it requires some sort of a catalyst that you can control.

Hybrid engines which use solid fuel and a liquid/gaseous oxidizer can be controlled better but these are often very hard to reignite.

So this means you'll have to have additional engines that are used just for the slam landing, technically possible but again might be harder to construct than a liquid engine since solid fuel engine ignition is also fairly inconsistent.

The Soyuz capsule uses rockets to soften the landing but these technically aren't propulsive landing and the landing forces tend to vary quite a bit between landings.

Overall when I think about this problem as a hobby the software isn't going to be the biggest blocker here especially considering the speeds/altitudes that we are talking about as well as the overall mass of the rocket, in fact since these rockets are going to be considerably smaller and would travel considerably slower you could absorb much more of their relative energy via hydraulics so the amount of precision needed for the slam/hover landing isn't as great.
As many have pointed out before, this is straightforward with email. My communication with Amazon goes to amazon.com@accounts.mydomain.com, and I can stop listening on that socket whenever I like.

This is much harder on social media because (1) you don't control the platform and (2) there's often an emphasis on linking in-platform identities to who we are in the real world. The strategy of social media is to get you into a relationship where they hold all the power.

I haven't. But, the design is the same. Graph layer on top of another DB, because they didn't want to invest in building a native graph DB.

In general, that approach doesn't lead to good performance, as I explained in the blog post.

If the desire is to make online content more readable, it might be worth starting with the assumption that all content downloaded from the network will be read on a black-and-white ereader device with no persistent internet connection.

This assumption might require substantially reworking the hyperlink model of the internet, so that external references to content delivered by third-parties is sharply distinguished from internal references to other pages within the same work.

Years ago, I remember reading this guy's website where he was building a homemade cruise missile: https://www.theage.com.au/world/diy-cruise-missile-20030604-...

I don't know whether he got shut down by the authorities or not.
That’s not what I am saying. What I mean is that it has more to do with the circumstances than the number of competitors. In general more competition is better for consumers and less is better for business owners. But in this case it’s lose lose (with the only winner being Amazon) as it will reduce the number of local businesses long term while also making it harder for the remaining businesses to compete with Amazon due to the unfair handouts they were expecting to receive from the government.
For the past couple of years, I've been working on knowledge graph solutions for the enterprise market, and know acutely the pain of trying to get traction on these types of approaches within one's own organization.

Some time before I started working at my current employer, I had a chance to talk to an architect on an EdTech knowledge graph project who advised giving up on these types of efforts due to the complexity of the technology, the politics of the organization, the skills gaps in the engineering corps, and the expectations of customers.

So when I ignored that advice and started this project I did have a chance to look at Dgraph, but ultimately avoided it to help relax some of those political and skills constraints. We ended up building a graph serving system out of Cayley processors, but maybe as the skills gap closes from experience on Cayley and the political forces wane as revenues increase then using Dgraph will become viable -- it would help us solve more problems and simplify certain operational headaches.

Thanks for writing this experience up. It's encouraging to learn that even giants like Google struggle due to internal factors in this space.
I think there has been exactly one time a brand has slid into a conversation that it wasn't creepy.

Said brand was "the two-person studio who made the game I tweeted a screenshot of".
Ahh sorry for the confusing grammar. I was trying to imply in the first sentence that my boss was an awesome person, but only him, not the CEO.
No, the GP was correct. Read the Citizens United decision. The finding was based on the concept that the rights of the people who make up an organization extend to collective action taken by that organization.

The decision had nothing to do with corporations being considered legal persons or the definition of person.
> Way off! Your answers don't fit here at all.

Which is probably about right, as I know my English is a right mess.

Grew up in Australia, lived in South East England for 13 years, shared a house for five years with a bloke from Yorkshire, socialised through sport with a load of Scots, my best friend lives in Ireland and I now live in Central Europe.

Should I have answered the questions as I now use words or how I did previously? E.g. I used to call the evening meal tea, but now refer to it as dinner.

For sure, I know that I also moderate my language depending on social setting and who is present.
We have this in Austria but if you are dedicated to take the lower school paths and later decided to get extra education to go the Uni, there's nothing that stops you. There's nothing unusual in a mid-20 taking evening school and going to uni two or three year. And not just that, if you dropped out with nothing at all, evening school allows you to get even the lowest ranking of the three paths: Hauptschulabschluss. The cost for you? Nothing!

When you have finished your Hauptschule or Realschule (lowest and mid path) you usually start a job but part-time you also go to a job-school (Berufsschule) where you learn more specific things that are useful for your job. This dual-education works great and is being exported to other countries where german manufacturers get active but don't find the skilled workers they are used to.
At the very least they know who you are as the domain owner -- which is part of why they got in the registrar business to begin with.
And then the government will step in. They will tell everybody that these companies are too big to fail, and hence the market rules don't apply to them. And eventually the government will bail them out--with tax payers money.

Representation in Cognitive Science (2018)
There’s no article, nothing new or technically interesting, nothing to even read. It’s a solicitation of anecdotes to be used by a news outlet.

It’s clearly off topic according to HN guidelines:

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
The secondary effects of this are definitely under-reported (and possible under-appreciated).

In essence, what we're talking about here is a massive wealth transfer from people seeking post-secondary education to those offering that education (sometimes public, sometimes private)... except (critically) the effects are future loaded.

We've indebted an entire generation, but it's an invisible anchor dragging on their economic aspirations.

If you ask me, we should do three things to fix this: (1) haircut absolute public loan amounts to a manageable amount in exchange for public service (more funding & new opportunities), (2) haircut private loans to a manageable amount (too bad, they shouldn't be able to offload risk to the public and keep their profits), funded by new taxes on underperforming (read: abnormally large numbers of deliquent loans) private loan vendors AND institutions generating said loans (both of whom benefited from originating poor quality loans), (3) continue efforts to tie government-guaranteed loan eligibility to positive outcomes (your graduates don't find jobs in their fields, your program(s) are no longer eligible for loan guarantees).
> I have never been to Nicaragua, so....limited relevance

Ok, that's probably some sort of error.

> you'd think they could do slightly better

It depends on how they made their model. With machine learning, it's easy to build something that does improve the whatever high-level metric they were tying to optimize (like "revenue") , but gives essentially random results for many individuals. This is especially true for any anything that wasn't fully covered in the training data/; a handwritten digit recognizer may work wonderfully on average, while giving random results random output when presented with anything that wasn't covered by the MNIST dataabsse. Sometimes this can be especially fragile[1]!

> How about that when freedom is threatened, we should not be telling the enemy all our secrets?

Who is talking about secrets? What I have been saying all along is that none of this information is particularly secret or sensitive. Your address is not a secret. Your employer or the fact that you have children is not a secret. Your religion is not a secret. Even Jews, who have more cause to be concerned than anyone, do not go to great lengths to hide their religion, nor should they. If anything, many outwardly wear markers of their religion in public, and why should they live in fear and hide as you would have them do? Instead of telling them to hide themselves, how about we stop people who would attack them for their religion?

As you go about interacting with people in the public sphere, you will necessarily expose certain pieces of information about yourself. That is unavoidable. You want to live in a place where the government collects taxes and pays for roads and police and such? Well, then the government is going to need to know your address. You want to have public school for your kids? Well guess what, there's going to have to be a record somewhere that you have kids. You want to go to church in an easily accessible building in a public space and not in a secret underground bunker? Well, people are going to be able to see that you go to that church. Deal with it. Unless you want to live alone in the forest as a hermit, a certain amount of information-sharing is necessary to participate in society.

The fact that that information can be collected and aggregated is also unavoidable. What happens next, the actions that particular people or groups take with that information, THAT is what is avoidable, and where our efforts should be concentrated. The fact that there is a database of people's addresses is not a problem. If there is a goon squad rounding up people at those address, the goon squad is the problem.
That's a redundant question, because just about every registry can dictate what their TLDs can be used for. It's part of the design laid down by ICANN.

- For Verisign with .com, they don't care if you're really a company or not.

- With Minds & Machines and .law, they only want qualified lawyers, courts, legal schools, etc. using the TLD.

Keep in mind that the registry and registrar are different things.
Fun detail: their first-ever "emergency directive", owing to a rash of DNS hijacking attacks, and not one mention of DNSSEC, despite the fact that the US Government requires agencies to use it. And they do! Pull a list of random .GOV or .MIL domains and check if they have DNSSEC --- most will! And it did fuck-all to stop this attack.
You're repeating yourself.

> But, from a non-European perspective, Europe doesn’t seem to be doing well? It seems the EU is slowly disintegrating, and the monetary union isn’t working. Also the political landscape seems to be in turmoil as well.

The purpose of the EU is to prevent war. The EU hasn't had a war in 75 years. That is the longest that Europe hasn't been at war in its recorded history.
The person vs. natural persons issue is irrelevant to the Citizens United decision.

Free speech being extended to corporations has nothing to do with the legal concept of corporate personhood. Read the decision, it was very explicit. The rights of the people who comprise a group were held to extend to collective action by that group.
True, heavily regulated government sectors struggle from this(medical for instance), but online is nearly anarchy. I don't see Amazon having ability to screw customers (forever).

And those sectors you are talking about need serious reform that the incumbents DONT want.
It's irresponsible to borrow when you will not have the means to pay back the debt. Most college graduates end up underemployed or unemployed after earning a degree in a non-rigorous major from a mediocre school. With only a BS degree and ~$30k debt, a professional job can easily pay this off. If the market could price the loans properly, perhaps they'd be discouraged from taking out the loans. Realistically, a loan would not be made in the first place.

Aren't psylocybin mushrooms (ie. magic mushrooms) considered schedule I in the US as well? You can find those in most forests.
The problem IMHO is that the "discomfort of declaring bankruptcy" is hard to predict. Right now it caries some social stigma I believe, but that could change. I don't think that's a great mechanism for deciding who pays back the loan and who doesn't... and my suggestion in all such threads is that this should be tied to future income, which the lender will then become very interested in predicting.
In the end does this matter - my cost function is to get the most possible with the least effort, but there are case statements in the function labelled "do not rob a bank".

I hate the very high prices for early access. This is anti-individual-developer, pro big company, rich people.

I can see it's a way to let big companies save off their amazon.dev domain or whatever. I think a much more preferable early stage practice would be to let people who can authenticate their name let them get their name .dev. I've been trying to buy my personal domain name for a while, a name squatter has been sitting on it for years, they don't even answer their contact email. A second domain that is commercial is also in a similar category. How do these companies keep their domains and never sell them?

Someone like say JohnAkbar.com has to wait and hope another JohnAkbar or a squatter doesn't get their name. I'm also jealous of people that have more unique names. People get vanity urls or twitter handle like things with my name and never use them. Sure, first world problem but
I'm certainly not saying "no unions are a good thing", generally speaking I think unions are a good thing (and that's as far into politics as I want to get on HN).

I am saying "there are drawbacks as well, and this 'evidence' points to the drawbacks as much as it points to the advantages". It's disingenuous to argue otherwise, and perhaps more importantly, isn't going to convince anyone who doesn't already agree with you because they will just take the other interpretation.
"Premium" domains are resold domains. The prices are typically dictated by the person holding them.
It's true that constitutional rights don't generally apply to citizens of other countries, unless they are in the US.

> neither do Americans, when they're in China or the UK

But American citizens in other countries still enjoy the same constitutional protections--protections which only apply to actions taken by the US government.
That is a feature that is not yet implemented! Of course there may be unsolved questions.

Neither of those are memory safety relevant. (A stack overflow is a reliable crash, not memory corruption, in Rust.)
I like to build electronic "stuff", or at least play around with building circuits and stuff. For quite some time now I've been sitting on a half-dormant project to build a "retro-computer" based on a Zilog Z80 CPU. That led me into trying to learn to program an EEPROM with an Arduino, and I got as far as breadboarding part of the programming setup. I'm using an Arduino Uno, which doesn't have enough digital output pins to represent both the address bus and the data bus of the EEPROM simultaneously, so I started down the path of using shift-register chips, etc, yadda yadda.

Anyway, I keep all my electronics stuff at the local hackerspace and sometimes I go up there and pull my breadboard and parts box out and play around.
