There's a mechanism to permanently opt out of messages, but I think we should call that out on the privacy page. It's done at the twilio level, https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/223134027-Twili..., but we should reinforce that.

We've thought a lot about how, in the future, we create the ability to accept a prompt, so not just anyone can assign one.

The tool's sweet spot seems to be for people that need to be reminded. We had some interesting anecdotal research that said that the more I have to remind <person that I care about> to do something, the more frustrated I got. By the time the task was completed, it was hard to be appreciative or grateful.

Thanks for your feedback!
Dunno about marketing materials but it all seems on the positive side, skipping "Blockchain is not only crappy technology but a bad vision for the future" type viewpoints (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16774293)

I'm kind of neutral on crypto but if you don't include the negatives you get a skewed view.
Tech is - inadvertently, as a side effect, but still - murdering the traditional media world that NYT rules/ruled.

When your whole world is being destroyed around you, it's not that strange if you develop a hostile attitude to the people doing the destroying, even if your job description is to be an "objective journalist".
Just buy a Carbon X1 that's a couple of generations behind "current" - they're still being sold. Amazing battery life, trackpoint, high res screen (if you want it), super light, tough, good keyboard. And it's cheaper, too. What's not to like? Mine is 3.5 years old now, still going strong. Running Ubuntu since day one.
The report for crash #1 isn't even out yet. Let alone #2, which hasn't even had it's blackbox fully analyzed.
Man, you're the one who said you were using events for game dev not me. Coroutines or events, the idea that you need to reconsider your state when execution returns is still valid advice. Tying a courtine to a game object's life cycle _is_ managing the event state. Its clearly not a weird scenario when entire game engines are based around this principle.
It’s sad but I think this is one of the key difference in richer nations is they just have better attitudes.

How so? Padding is inserted when the layout (order of fields) is bad. There are no language that reorder structures, are there?

That's certainly one way to put it. But I was relating to the "show me your tables..." quote's kind of feeling. So, to be more clear, maybe more to the "what is possible" vs "what have the authors currently thought of / implemented".

Are you saying that the video was being posted to social media as "shock videos" (ie. the viewer did not know that it was violent before watching it)? If so, why is censorship needed, rather than a NSFW/NSFL label?
The cost of ProPublica's first Pulitzer-winning story (admittedly an outlier, in terms of scope and process) was roughly $400K:

Would you ever be surprised if an old car got brand new tires? No? Then why do you find it so surprising that engine manufacturers would build new engines for existing airliner designs?
And I'm not saying it should be played in time square. But hiding it from the "normal" parts of the internet doesn't do anyone any favors.

Which game is that?
I honestly consider myself somebody who uses social media perhaps too much, and yet I still didn't see anything like a video at all - I don't know if it's a social media bubble, or perhaps a feature of the country I'm in. I saw the news that the attack had happened almost instantly, but not even on places like reddit did I see videos of the event.
How is 4chan more toxic than e.g. the New York Times?

Ah, but we do understand them, we just disagree with them. People learn, traditions change, society advances.

It's fine that you may want to dance with women who want to dance with men, but not everybody may have the same preference. Besides, there might be a mismatch between the number of women and men.
With proper context, sure, I’m all in favour of that. I’m not suggesting every last copy of this video being deleted.

However, I do question the need for everyone to watch the video to understand what happened. That doesn’t really seem to follow for me.
Who are the people that aren't already using gmail/facebook/apple to ask their friend group this question in the first place?

Regardless, it's pretty easy to infer from the person's Google searches what their friends told them. And if that user has an Android phone Google also has their location data to cross-reference with it, plus data gleaned from CC purchases and probably lots of other sources I haven't yet read about.

Bacteria only grows in environments it can survive.

You can find the same content on reddit that you find in 4chan. The difference is Condé Nast will remove subreddits because it looks bad and hurts their bottom line. 4chan doesn’t have share holders, they barely have advertisers.

Toxic ideologies survives on the Chan because there is no one worried about profit there’s no one to answer to. The entire internet use to be the same way.
The video is being distributed in whatsapp groups in countries where education level of people is pretty low. This is going to be propaganda for more violence in the world.

Yeah. No. California has 'too much wealth / productivity / how do we share the surpluses? ' kinds of problems.

Romania has 'maybe we should have roads ?' problems.

This is a different dimensionality.
I'm not sure method_missing is powerful enough to do message passing. It's method_missing, not method_received. You can't intercept message that already have a method defined for them. The sender chooses which method to call, and may call method_missing. It's not entirely up to the object how to respond to a message.
I effectively have an "all-on-4" situation but where the 4 are my natural teeth. I have a genetic condition which caused very few of my adult teeth to grow, so the ones that did grow in nice and solid have been capped with machined gold cylinders and used as the receivers for a full denture (google "telescopic copings"), which fits perfectly on them and also acts as a retainer for those teeth. It's actually quite nice and comfortable and my teeth went from being a painful horror show to functional and trouble-free in a relatively short timeframe.

Technically there is no difference. In a closed universe both compile down to the same.

The difference lies in the approach to software design[1].

He was a nationalist, not supremacist.

> I have seen zero proposed solutions or ways of combating the rise of white supremacists because so far, the market place of ideas has not been successful.

The moderate nationalists like Taylor have been purged from common media. He is equated to the exact same as the shooter.

After a Muslim terrorist attack we all call for moderate Muslims to help engage in dialog to talk radical ones out of violence. But in the case of nationalist terrorism that is no where to be seen.

If you ever listen to interviews of former nationalists, dialog is what got the to change their position. Not once did no platforming or throwing bottles at them work. There was an interview with one on CNN last week about this.
Good points. To which I'd add:

> My boss was able to implement a feature using Node.js and 20 lines of code that I thought that would take me at least 200 (he’d never programmed in JavaScript before).

That just means that their boss has more experience (perhaps a lot more experience) than they have. Being an inexperienced programmer is something we all went through at some point in our careers, and doesn't mean we were bad programmers. I'd say a bad programmer is someone who doesn't want to learn new things or listen to advice on how they can improve themselves.
Of course, startups share most of the same traits.

I'm in my early 30s, and I recently had my maxilla and mandible non-surgically expanded with a combination of appliances, one called Advanced Lightwire Functional (ALF) and the other called Fixed Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance (FAGGA).

Treatments that make use of the Orthotropics philosophy or of appliances like the ALF or FAGGA are relatively new and are not mainstream. However, there are many case studies available online showing them in action and showing before/after pictures.

I don't know what kind of resources you're looking for, but this video [1] provides a quick introduction to Orthotropics.

Codeine gave me sleep paralysis a few times.
> I'm sure people would consume less

Most probably such blatant attempt on "psychological manipulation for toddlers" would backfire loudly. Adult omnivorous people know yet how a skinned cow corpse looks, keep enjoying meat, and couldn't care less. Other people would slowly desensitize by the continuous exposure and could even increase the consumption.
And I don't think it should be forced in people's faces either. But it should be available for those who want to view it.
I don't view there being much of a difference. I wrote about this a few months ago (http://boston.conman.org/2018/11/21.1) but the idea of it came years before.
Yeah, it's an odd old place - it really is still a Soviet state - with secret police to match. We had a shadow in Tiraspol, shook them because we could, as taking them on a wild goose chase is almost sport, and... then found it rather hard to get out of the country, as a result - a sizeable bribe had to change hands.

Still, it's worth visiting, for a day or two, once.

I've been super concerned about my empty stackoverflow and github accounts. This is reassuring. Thanks for sharing!
@eganist is exactly right.

It's not considered best practice in science or on HN to make claims and then essentially say, now go strengthen my argument for me.

I don't think it should be some draconian rule, but if it's not obvious to the general audience where to quickly get an authoritative source the burden generally falls to the claimant.

> However I think it still has a valuable lesson that many, particularly young CS students, would benefit from: Unix is not the perfect fundamental model for computing. C is not the gospel.

The problem is, this book doesn't actually motivate that lesson. Instead, it spends a lot of its time sniping rather than arguing for why the entire philosophy is perhaps misguided or outright wrong. And sometimes, even the snipe targets are pretty idiotic: when complaining about C++ syntax, for example, the target isn't the incomprehensible nature of template rules [1], but one C++ compiler doesn't lex //* correctly.

[1] I'm not sure anyone actually understands how name lookups work when templates are in play. Instead there's a lot of guesswork and don't-shadow-names-if-it-might-matter going on.
I can't help but roll my eyes at "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" for two reasons.

First prey species are actually pretty damn paranoid. Horses spook easily for a reason. Even predators who are also preyed upon show pretty heavy signs of anxiety and have been seen freaking out at nothing because it /might/ be a threat. Tiger Oscar Cichlids are marked as an aggressive fish in aquariums and yet will scare themselves into fleeing and hiding from the sounds of their /own splashes/ when eating. They have been a staple for millennia so clearly selective pressure of man and perhaps other fishers has driven them craven. It takes say isolation and no threats like say island gigantism to have that sort of "nothing preys on me" chill attitude. Step one of a creature becoming tame is not fleeing from, hiding from, or threatening humans on detection.

Second ulcers are bacterial in cause (although stress certainly doesn't help) and the selection bias involved. It is like saying the pioneer mothers and children were all healthy - just ignore the dozens of dead wives and children.

I don't doubt that stress can create downward spirals but it would be interesting to see how comparable other aspects were. If people in lower stress environments stress eat less that could give better results even if absorption doesn't play a significant role.

Or the reverse and you sifted through diet examples and found those who say had a personal chef who would prepare healthier better tasting food on demand had similiar or worse rates of diabetes and obesity compared to those those in lower stress environments who ate the same way they did before.
I'm not familiar with contra, so can't comment on the fitting part. Where I danced in social scenes, if you need a man's/woman's body specifically, (whatever that means...) that would mean you're either doing it wrong or in a really inappropriate way.

> The customs of social dance have evolved over centuries

The fun part is that in many cases they had to evolve first to gendered dancing, and now we're coming back. Which is what people are often not aware of and think it's somehow weird.

> It matters because I want to dance with women who want to dance with men.

And nobody can force you to do otherwise. I think it's a fortunate development that you can do that, or you can dance with everybody. You get more possibilities, not fewer. (And because it reduces the number of people without partners)
“Expect to pay a lot more unless you value your time as free” is a good rule of thumb here.
> His response: see how much attention to detail has been paid to even some of the most mundane things.

Counter example, about every residential building is so damn ugly, so I am not sure where the attention to details has gone there. I could go on on how poorly designed work offices are, how poorly designed the furniture is in general (enabling IKEA to actually have a market here), and that's enough to refute that kind of blanket statement.
If you want it to not happen again, then you should look at the why, not the what.
I enjoyed Invisible Inc. quite a bit. However, the deterministic hits only work because of the two-person team size, the small combat areas and (mostly) melee weapons, the use of stuns and hacks rather than kills, and the forgiving rewinds for players doing poorly. Guaranteed hits in X-Com with a six person team armed with guns would be too easy and would “flatten” the terrain rather than make it something to be navigated.
The code you saw in the video uses Tailwind CSS, which means the code doesn't generate a class for `text-gray1`, but rather, it creates a simple tailwind.confg.js file that lists out all the colors (and every other design scale like typography, spacings etc.). Tailwind uses this config to generate all the functional CSS classes necessary. It is highly suited for building custom UI designs, unlike Bootstrap, Bulma etc. that brings its own styles.

The software also can generate BEM like you wish for in the future. One of our earlier iterations did do that, but the default stack today is Tailwind which I've found to be the second best way to approach CSS (the first is CSS-in-JS, but with explicit design scales).
Questions for OpenAI

> it is a small, tightknit club where success typically hinges on whom you know.

This is such a weird point to make given it seems like almost none of the Uber and Airbnb Alumni seem to have been in any kind of tight knit club before. This wasn't something like PayPal mafia members starting yet another company, they seem to have been started by relative outsiders and most of the employees seem to be as well.

Maybe there's an argument to be made that some of the people who strike it rich as early employees of tech unicorns end up investing in other companies or founding other companies. But these companies seem to be proof that you don't need to have come from a tight knit club to become a successful startup.

Well if we want to go down that road, the event was in a private place of worship and not a public landmark. And from my understanding (I don’t know since I refuse to and didn’t watch the video) there were minors in the footage. Last but not least, Facebook specifically sells ads on their pages. So, yeah, people cannot post and disseminate these videos even if the event occurred here in the US. In addition, the footages being disseminated are technically illegal copies.
They would stop the very moment it ceased being profitable.
Video card interface electrical standards may have changed, but GPU form factors have not.

Electrical interface changes just need to be paired with compatible motherboards.

Same with hard drives: the interface changed but the form factor has not. They are even compatible with their larger versions: a laptop 2.5" platter drive or SSD can fit in a 3.5" drive bay with a cheap bracket. The SATA versions were backwards compatible speed bumps. Performance was always the maximum supported on the motherboard.

M.2 is just PCIe in a different form factor, so on desktops a $5 passive adapter allows NVMe SSDs to be used on any PCIe slot on even on relatively ancient PCs (though use as a boot drive dependent on BIOS support).

Same with display interfaces. VGA is still supported on many systems, with DVI-I being backwards compatible with cheap passive adapters. DVI and HDMI are electrically identically (minus audio) so cheap passive adapters work.

The broader point is that large incompatible electrical changes are possible because they only mean the new motherboard just needs to be paired with a compatible component. There's still market pressure for backwards compatibility unless the leap is large enough.
I think saying "the binding happens much later" in 2019 is unnecessarily hard to understand. The binder in Unix has always been called a "linker"; the term "binder" was used in a bunch of PARC systems and consequently in Oberon, but since Unix-influenced systems (and I think DEC-influenced systems like CP/M) called it a "linker", the verb "link" has entirely supplanted the verb "bind" for this purpose, about 30 years ago, except when people are repeating the phrase "late binding" or "late-bound" without understanding what it means.

So I'll explain what it means here, because it took me a lot of years to understand that "late binding" was a specific concrete concept rather than a vague generality.

What we're talking about when we say "binding" or "linking" is the process of associating a reference — typically to a function that's being called, though occasionally to a global variable or something — with a particular referent, such as a particular chunk of executable code. When we say that some "binding" is happening "late", what we mean is that this linking is happening at run-time — at the time of the actual call, not even at program startup time, as with ld.so. Doing the linking (or "binding", as some people called it 40 years ago) at call time means that the same function call can invoke a different function every time you call it.

Of course, that's what method calls in languages like JS, Lua, or Python do, as well as function calls in languages like Scheme, JS, Lua, or Python. By contrast, calls to C++ or Golang methods are compiled into machine-code calls to particular machine-code functions, unless the methods are virtual or via an interface, respectively, and it's the linker that links (or "binds") these calls to their callees. (Unless they're inlined, blah blah.)

This, of course, gives you immense flexibility, at the expense of some performance and predictability.

You're right to distinguish message passing from late binding, as message passing is more general.
You realize their big argument is that they’re speaking “truth” and are thus being censored, right? When little bits of what they say slip through the cracks and people know that it’s supposed to be censored, you realize you’re validating their statements right? Make people know they’re right in one aspect, and people will think they’re right in the other aspects as well. Give yourself a legal ability to censor them, and the day they seize power (and don’t try to pretend the people you like will be in power forever, because they won’t), they will use it against you.
