If you've been downvoted before for victim blaming, maybe there's cause for you to think before plowing ahead forward? I don't think anyone is implying that it's not your responsibility to be in control of your life. But I think it is the case that there are such things as power asymmetries, powerful institutions, and well intentioned systems that have been left wide open to abuse (H1B system).

To misattribute the failings of a broken system to a lack of personal responsibility is to fundamentally misunderstand the full entirety of the situation. For your own sake, please try to think through this situation a little bit more carefully. Remember, in America, we once used to have a system of indentured servitude that we looked back on with shame. A very large amount of Americans could find it to be a similar kind of shame if we were to re-implement a modern version of it without knowing that it was happening.

Stories like this can serve to shine a light on it. Truth be told, I don't know what happened in this particular case. However, what cannot be argued is that the incentives are ripe for abuse. It is a false equivalence to say that psychopaths are there just as entropy, competition and environmental hazards. Some of those are arguably beneficial. But I will say, at this juncture point and at this particular point in time, people seem to be increasingly unhappy with tolerating openly psychopathic behavior. Sadly, if this employee had a better handle on how American PR, optics and law operates, there's a good chance he could have dropped a nightmare of a PR bomb and be walking away with a settlement right now...

And if he did that, he'd be doing that opposite of what you're suggesting. He'd be standing up, and fighting, which is a thing you can do in this country. It's why I think you're wrong, in this case.
Product looks fantastic, well done. Always refreshing to see services actively attempt to keep payloads small.

If there is anything to criticize about the marketing part for me it would be the "privacy focused" bit. Personally I think in 2019 saying you're privacy focused and then only baking that up with a privacy policy is a bit much. You can change it at any time and "continued use of the service" is deemed to have accepted any changes. But even then, AFAIK privacy policies aren't legally binding right?

"Privacy focused" to me means that the business running the service has limited or no access to private information in some way. But that's just me, I am probably a minority.
One thing that is nice about 1Password going to a subscription model is that they have to work for your business every month or every year. In the comment they made, they talked about looking into a transition to Rust, which has better memory security capabilities.
i've been watching more nba lately and the officiating seems so arbitrary that it's making me skeptical that statistical analysis can isolate fraud from poor officiating.

like that kevin durant "save" against houston where he was lounging in the first row for what seemed like several minutes beforehand. or nearly every 4-point-play that james harden gets, or lebron's inability to travel. or the lack of foul calls for non-stars like josh hart (lakers).

i play rec ball and our officiating is bad too, but it seems worse in the nba despite having professional refs (granted, it's a faster and more powerful game, but their refs are supposed to be the best).

> Describing is not the same as justifying. Nature is what created us as individuals.

We have little means of empirically separating what is natural versus social construct (or even qualifying what such a distinction means) when it comes to human behavior and society. Claiming that our nature makes inevitable that societies require some significant portion of their constituents to suffer is not simple description, it's a conceit that, like most naturalistic fallacies, is consistently used to excuse and justify existing social order. Viz evopsych, etc.

The premise I'm contesting is that minimizing suffering due to social constructs necessitates homogeny, which is a condition that narratively pits potential social orders against the individual.

> It sounds to me like you're conflating the Communist Manifesto with Capital...It is not a critique of any extant society

The Manifesto contains the class struggle interpretation of history, the labor theory of value, excess value, the means of production, etc. Those are all models and critiques of extant society. It is not as descriptive or theoretical a work as Capital, but it primarily argues for a model of things as they are and have been. To my decades-old recollection only the third section is focused on ideal societies, and a large portion of that on contemporary political movements.

You can disagree with those models of extant society, or like me view them as historically significant but superseded theories, but you must admit the fundamental contrast to something like Moore's Utopia. They both have explicit normative perspective, but the Manifesto's are constructed out of an analysis of existing conditions, whereas Utopia is primarily concerned with describing the order of its hypothetical social ideal. Books like The Road to Serfdom are rarely framed as being utopian despite primarily being normative.

Politics is the art of the possible. Labeling perspectives on social order as "utopian" is a move designed to exclude them from the realm of possibility. I also first read the Manifesto in a political philosophy course as part of a unit on utopianism. It was only years later I realized the framing by the right-libertarian professor to demarcate it from serious political philosophy, despite post-Marxism having at least as comparable a profile as an academic philosophical tradition to the just-market apologetics that made up the remainder of the course.
What the article seems to miss out is any mention of Plato's invention of the term, and its original meaning of "no place". From the very beginning unachievability was associated with the concept.

Sure, but it's a hyper-idealism which rejects the absolutely the idea of allowing a non-inclusive worldview of an individual to rule. Judeo-Christian is the author's specific worldview, but that's incidental to the stance.
I mean, that's a pretty standard actor pattern..

https://github.com/foobatman/producer-consumer-akka-actor/tr...

There are many more examples out there. Anything that a multi-threaded program can do, an actor can do..

I just think that actors are inherently more complex than threads for simple problems. For complex problems, I think actor are probably a better choice.

A good example of a simple program is managing multiple TCP connections. At least in my (somewhat limited) experience with actors, polling TCP file descriptors is easier to manage creating an actor for each one.
Good idea! I'll try it out and send you my feedback. cheers

The NTSB does seem to be a lot more interested in the safety of the folks inside the vehicle than those outside. This same viewpoint is reflected in using road design principles that make perfect sense for the highway, where there are no pedestrians, being use inside the city where there definitely are.

The weight, which I am assuming is going to be around twice as much as a normal phone, will be a huge turnoff for most people. And unlike a normal phone you won't be able to use a pop-socket to help holding it or likely even a case for protection when it falls.
Yup, it's the same in my country. I'm going to specifically vote for an independent MP who was against this directive. I won't try to contact the others and explain anything because it doesn't work. Some party MPs have a split view on the issue and it's risky to vote for a party because you never know who they send to the EP.

It is thanks to racist attitudes like this that I changed my name from an Indian one to an American-sounding one. And whaddaya know, my callbacks shot way up.

I'm not cheating anyone, just trying to do an honest job, but attitudes like this hold minorities back. Because when you say this about an entire nationality so freely, what do you think about blacks? What about Chinese? What about Mexicans? It is much more politically incorrect to hold stereotypical views of visible minorities who have fought and are fighting for their rights in American society. Indians? Too many people feel free to shit on them both on anonymous forums as well as in popular culture.
This just sounds like the same as the nice guy paradox. If girls are looking to date guys who are both nice and good-looking, you only date guys who are assholes if they are really good looking.

Same thing with a "rockstar" asshole engineeer. If you weren't an awesome engineer on top of being an asshole, you wouldn't even be employed and we're not talking about you.

It's not because there's this magical correlation between being a "rockstar" and an asshole. This is just an outcome of sampling.

An Update on Ethereum-Based Prediction Markets (Podcast Episode)
Android is working on OS-level support for folding displays. This one's early, and will have limited support from apps, but I don't think the category will die as a gimmick. It has genuine utility, it's just been a technological hurdle. Personally, I'll wait another couple years for Apple to refine it a bit.

Also, the smartphone market has started saturating and device makers are clamoring for a feature - any feature - that will get people to buy new ones. This has resulted in lots of little useless features as they attempt to differentiate, but here we have an actually super useful feature which is costly to implement and will induce real gadget-envy for the first time in years. So there's going to be a gold rush behind it.
You can even build an AR-15 without a CNC machine. It's doable with a hand drill, although will look nicer and may function better if you use a drill press or router. There's a video on youtube of a guy that made an AR-15 out of beer cans, although he had some blacksmithing equipment if I remember correctly.

Interesting. Did the SC (in an 1888 case) not say: "Under the designation of 'person' there is no doubt that a private corporation is included [in the Fourteenth Amendment]. Such corporations are merely associations of individuals united for a special purpose and permitted to do business under a particular name and have a succession of members without dissolution."

And does 1 USC not also say:

"In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, unless the context indicates otherwise—

the words "person" and "whoever" include corporations, companies, associations, firms, partnerships, societies, and joint stock companies, as well as individuals;"

as well? I'm not sure how to align those statements with your comment. Perhaps it's a subject that only someone with a law degree can discern the meaningful difference between the claims?

Oh boy I'm with you 100%

Especially when it's an app I want or need, and it has notifications I need, but still sends out spammy ones too.

I think this is possible on Android as you can give apps access to notifications, so it could filter them.

> For instance we don’t allow peddlers of snake oil to make whatever claims they desire

The important word here is “peddlers”. We regulate the sale of medical products. (And advertising related to such a sale.)

But we do not regulate who may join in the argument about (say) whether stress causes ulcers, or low-fat diets prevent heart attacks. The self-proclaimed experts have at various points in time been quite sure about these things. But thankfully their self-confidence did not result in a ban on people questioning the data.

If so, I'd be interested in finding yet another alternative that does not.

Allowing javascript to run in one's browser is itself a concern for both privacy and security.
I hate this argument. People always resort to this type of argument when they want to divert responsibility. Have you ever heard of how the environment enables certain behaviors?

Supporting a system where people can mass-send emails = enabling spam.

How absurd will you extend this argument? "Oh, yeah, 99% of my customers are spammers, but I'm not the one making them click send! They could've just paid, twiddled their thumbs and not do anything with my product!"

Keep in mind the at that Beating the Averages is from 2001 (revised in 2003). This means that it predates Java 1.4 and obviously C++11 (let alone C++14, 17, etc)

Most languages have the features of CL that made it so useful. Even Java has first class functions, lambdas, partial application, async IO, etc. Java even has a repl now. The only things left afaict are macros (non-hygenic in CLtL2) and code-as-data/eval (a security hole).

Aside from pulling from functional languages, Java also learned Python's 'with' using try-with-resources. Meanwhile the tooling of Java went from strength to strength and it's a serious blub factor for people who haven't used Java.

Beating the Averages was fairly spot on at the time it was written, but since then it's lost it's power as features of blub languages was merged into existing languages.
Well. Maybe it could be neater (in an information theoretic sense) but DNNs are a bit fuzzy on that, and if you have modern compute, who cares? I think that there's many questions about the validation of machine learning models which mean that your question "could the NN model have been replaced by any number of more parsimonious nonlinear regressors?" is open, in the sense - we don't have a sharp way of deciding which is best, because one out of 100 million isn't informative for statistical reasoning.

The other question "does anything that uses NNs warrant the term AI?" is very, very difficult. Because as Marvin Minskey said "intelligence is a portmanteau term" by which he meant overloaded. It's full of meaning and non specific, so I like to say that AI is about technology and capability and not an association with human or animal cognition - which is the domain of Artificial Intelligence proper.
It doesn't seem to be happening as much. Last year's championship was a 4 game sweep by the Warriors. Donaghy used to bet on playoff series knowing that the league wanted the refs to do what they could to extend the series to 7 games. One notable example is the 2002 series between the Lakers and Kings.
I personally don't have a use for this (yet) but it looks like a great project with some worthy goals. Hope it's a success.
Well you can make a cannon as easily, but the BATF has been aggressive at pursuing people who discuss gun making, the more sophisticated (like 3D printing them) the more aggressive the pursuit. A project for recreating a black powder musket? Not a lot of heat. A project for a repeating launcher that lobs soviet era grenades while pulling the pins on exit, very aggressive pursuit.

When drafting a style guide, one of your goals is to make the code as uniform as possible. It removes ambiguity and makes it easier to enforce the rules of the style guide, hopefully with automated tooling.

Mandatory bracing is a step towards more uniformity, and makes additional statements in a conditional block always safe, and at the cost of just one extra line in the code.

It also makes your commits just a little bit smaller; if you do add more lines to a conditional block that was previously braceless, now you just get the new lines in the diff, instead of new lines + opening brace + closing brace.

Cowboy coding of course scoffs at all this and people have different values when making tradeoffs between readability and concision, but there are good reasons for enforcing mandatory braces.
Congrats on the launch of your hosted version of Commento! I didn't see this in either version but would you entertain the feature of adding annotations?
Optimization in the sense of optimizing for a specific (often ideological) outcome, rather than optimizing away an objective inefficiency.

Social welfare is a perfect example of "competing optimizations" precisely because there are so many different (and often mutually exclusive) organizational models and success metrics.

Honestly, I always thought being privacy focused is simply not succumbing to third-party trackers, ads, and other shady stuff. Really, the barrier for entry to qualify as privacy-focused in the comments space is extremely low.

But you make a good point. I'll think about this to see if there are more concrete ways to offer privacy.

And thanks for the kind words!
I use Blokada, and I have less problems using it than I did Dns66. Lots of things stopped working with the latter, but I have yet to find anything that doesn't work with Blokada.

However, Blokada has lately been crashing or stopping or being killed. I'm on Android 9. I have to start it manually when the notification disappears.

You want to call my mom and read her an 18 char password? I'll give you her number, let me know how it goes!

So I think it should be obvious when I say my mom, that's a user I have no control over, I can't yell at, I want to make sure there are no mistakes, and that she can't mess anything up on her end like writing it on a sticky note... If you haven't figured out, mom is the worst possible case for a user.

You're getting lost in the details. It should be SIMPLE to securely share credentials or codes or details with someone, and that can't be done if a piece of paper is your system.

Over time the attrition rate for attention increases. As a result it becomes harder to justify further investments in usability features or content quality because you can no longer leverage the increased attention of more users in the future. This can lead towards a death spiral of lower frequency updates leading to less viewers leading to less updates.

For a venture-backed site even hitting a 20% growth rate per month would be a warning that you're not growing fast enough to justify continued investment, as was the case for a recent postmortem on Gumroad [1].

Given that this post was from 10 years ago that's definitely not the case for Hacker News, but in this climate it's gotten even more extreme if you're relying on venture backing.

I've always avoided swimming because of this. Other people, who may not wipe their bottoms properly, are getting into the same pool as you. Sometimes they pee (and they always excrete saliva) into the pool. It kind of grosses me out, and I've never really understood why it's not more taboo.

In elementary school, I was never a fan of the game "bobbing for apples", because all of the other kids stick their mouths into the same bucket, and I had a basic conceptual understanding of germs and how they spread.
