Sent it where? They actually had your little brother's address in the U.s.?
He said why, in fact, he said it three times in the very first three sentences of his manifesto: "It’s the birthrates." x 3.

Where do we hear conspiracy theories about "the great replacement"[1] coming from? CNN or people like Lauren Southern[2][3]?

Or, the fact that he literally states what he wants (it's the 14 words):

> What do you want?

> We must ensure the existence of our people, and a future for white children.

So... can anyone suggest a good paid alternative to Hacker News that isn't being astroturfed?
FWIW I've always called MSG "Makes Stuff Good," because it does just that... I realized it wasn't bad mostly because there was no seeming regularity to if I felt bad after eating foods with it.

Eventually it dawned on me that perhaps overeating an abundance of oil in foods with it probably makes me feel like shit, and... yep, it was the oil (maybe others will have similar anecdotes).
Try saying anything with a hard truth at its core that goes against what people want to believe. And instead of engaging with discussion and rebuttal, they do so with -1s and rate-limiting.

1. Cognitive impairment is likely already happening in office rooms

2. Rich people "donating" to semi-non-profit orgs and universities are doing so for non-altruistic reasons.

3. When you use a free service, you are paying primarily with your data.

4. FAANG has engaged in criminal conspiracies.

5. News agencies that bemoan Facebook also bend over to Facebook and Google's tracking.

6. Cell phones don't cause cancer.

7. "Sharing Economy" is just a scam to evict employees from workforce to something less than employees.

8. The USA is primarily at "One Dollar = One Vote".

9. There's something else going on with meditation and mind, that we can't adequately explain with science at this moment.

This place used to be a lot better, with discussions and rebuttals and refutations with sources and links. Now it's "who can '1 more". And hiding the current score does little to no good, other than obfuscate the real problem.

Edit: Why am I not surprised a mod collapsed this, and likely flag-killed the response to me? This is what happens with little to no transparency, and when a VC firm "controls" the narrative.
I had a palate expander in my youth. It did not change the forces I applied to my jaw, so it didn't solve my problem, instead they emerged and re-emerged, first in my teens, then after I stopped wearing a retainer in my 20s.

What's the basis for your eager dismissal of an alternative?
Those rays are unlikely to be photons, so EM-self interaction is not likely to stop them. The articles linked in this sub-thread all speculate/assume that the cosmic rays were protons.
Could you please point me in the direction of someplace where this problem is better explained? I'm struggling to understand, how the certificate choice of the peer X should be a problem, given you send them only the information directly related to the peer X, so it seems like you shouldn't care if the traffic between you 2 is encrypted using X's key or MitM's key, because it's only their part of the network that potentially gets compromised. If so, it should be the choice of every given node, if they trust that part of the network they are connecting to, and, conclusively, if they want to accept a certificate they see for the first time, no matter if it's signed by any common CA or not.
I agree, the single image pricing seems very fair. You could easily try it using the non commercial service to check your happy with the outcome and simply pay the 1.99 to license the image for one off use. Not forcing you to sign up for a monthly plan or pay for multiple images at once as the lowest tier is very smart in my opinion.
This sort of MCAS failure presents itself to the crew as a trim runaway

No, it doesn't and that's the problem. A runaway won't stop when you hit the trim buttons.
I don't think HN is being astroturfed just yet. They're pretty reactive and competent in their moderating, but https://lobste.rs/ is the best alternative that I've heard of (although I never actually use it because HN is just fine for me, and you can encounter some pretty established people on HN ;) ).
but dentists aren't always orthodontists. I think OP meant those that aren't.
AWS Fargate may be interesting as you can use containers but don’t need to manage VMs. There is support for scheduled tasks as well. I’d consider looking for convenience CLIs or wrappers on top.
For some definition "normal method calls" :-)

Obviously it is a definition of normal method calls in Smalltalk.

Even with Smalltalk, he well or poorly do you think setters/getters fit within that description?
Yes, that most likely is the reason, and not the home row focus like it's often portrayed.
Yeah. I have had an iPhone returned after leaving it by accident on a train. A luggage with a MacBook air inside returned as well. Funniest part was reaction of my coworker who helped me figure out where I should call to get the luggage. It did not occur to him that stuff inside might get stolen(Japanese guy)

In Canada I just assume anything not bolted down will get stolen. I left company laptop on a taxi before and it got stolen, even so I called the taxi company 2 mins after.. lol one of the many reason I have no problem with Uber screwing cabbies.
I'm slightly too young to have lived through it myself, but from what my dad told me, pre-GNU Unix and post-GNU Unix are almost completely different in their user experience. Prior to GNU, Unix (the tools and the kernel) used to simply crash a lot, or drop data. It was not an especially good system in any regard.

As the GNU coding standards say:

> Avoid arbitrary limits on the length or number of any data structure, including file names, lines, files, and symbols, by allocating all data structures dynamically. In most Unix utilities, “long lines are silently truncated”. This is not acceptable in a GNU utility.

This never really clicked with me because I didn't live through a time when my primary Unix utilities weren't robust. The closest I got was using old (1990's) HP/UX and Solaris and AIX systems where the sysadmins had installed the GNU tools already. All I knew is that I shouldn't use the system tools, because they were worse.

Personally, I think what helped Unix succeed is that the implementations were bad but the architecture made it (mostly) possible to improve the implementations piecemeal. Accordingly, the parts that have had the most trouble improving (like X11, and C) are those where the design doesn't allow this.
Of course it is. YC is a business, not a charity.
Using computers is free if your time and patience are worthless.
I'm referring to dentists who do not practice orthodontistry, and therefore do not have careers hinging on the status quo.
I’ve heard some comical examples in the past where the new country takes your old passport, and then your old country promptly sends it right back to you since it’s still valid.
There's a big difference between astroturfing and self-promotion. The latter tends to get correctly downvoted.
Rules of Thumb for Org Design
Being a software engineer is great because nothing is ever our fault and our industry has no ethical guidelines or expectations. My go-to example is “if buggy autopilot software crashes an airplane, it’s the pilot’s fault.”
Could be.

What I would like to see is snippets. Someone takes a space, gets samples, combines them with reviews.

Others meta review, wash rinse, repeat.

Cycle through different snippets as regularly as makes sense.

There was, and maybe still is, a politics podcast "best of the left" that would take a topic, and then air bits from all sorts of shows, ending with the authors own commentary.

Frankly, it was great. Introduced me to shows I continue with to this day.

I think the key insight is a podcast is like music. Ever notice how having someone introduce a tune, explain why it is great, tends to make it more compelling, easier to identify with?

We share between ourselves for these, and other reasons.

Podcasts have similar dynamics, in my view.
StackOverflow Is Down

I'd be more worried about the copyrighted material that they can archive but aren't allowed to distribute.
It’s a bit more voluntary if they say “show up at X in Y days” instead of “you’re coming with us”.
Sure, it’s a system failure not strictly a software failure, but I don’t think the Boeing software engineers are off the hook here. Software is where the whole system comes together. Software is what can mitigate sensor failures. Software is the top of the stack that gets certified for reliability.

A good safety culture will not have even a whiff of a “not my job” attitude. The software team should never have signed off if they noticed that a single sensor failure could cause their “correct to spec” program to crash the darn plane (if that’s indeed what happened).
It's probably been a long while since you've gone back to it, but The "Worse is Better" chapter in this book seems to show rather amazing foresight; it basically predicts the situation you describe regarding Unix being "the best operating system available without getting appreciably better" and offers compelling reasons why that was likely.

25 years ago. Who the hell does that?

It is nonsensical for several reasons. First the outrage is largely manufactured by the media. Then, the public apologies are a tradition rather than genuine apologies. Just disappearing for a couple of years without fixing your actual behavior is absolutely fake, since it makes your apology a big farce.

This is all for show.
Yeah, think about Ted Cruz. He wasn't born in some base of the US like McCain was. He was born in Canada. Plain and simple. However he is a fully fledged citizen of the USA, and eligible to become president.
Can Dogs and Cats Be Vegan? Science Weighs In
The reason they died on activation #21 and not #1 is that the effects are cumulative.

The stabilizer position was graphed on that preliminary report (see: pitch trim position). There was a slight trend towards nose down pitch, but no, at the time they lost control there's a sharp decrease in pitch that doesn't correlate with MCAS. If you look at the "trim manual" line you'll see that the pilot flying was continuing to input nose up pitch on the switches to no effect. Something changed and it wasn't simply that the pilot was overridden by MCAS. After 21 even MCAS continued to counter the pitch up inputs as the stabilizer continued to contribute additional nose down pitch.

I agree that the jury is still out as to whether it’s a sensor issue per se or some sort of ADC or data transmission issue.

To be clear I highly doubt the alpha vane was defective. It's a possibility, but look at that graph. The left "angle of attack indicated" mirrors the right one almost exactly except that there's a near constant twenty degree offset. If that's a sensor problem in two separate sensors I'll pull a Werner Herzog and eat my freaking shoe.

> Why Is There So Little Money In Politics

> In this paper, we argue that campaign contributions are not a form of policy-buying, but are rather a form of political participation and consumption. We summarize the data on campaign spending, and show through our descriptive statistics and our econometric analysis that individuals, not special interests, are the main source of campaign contributions. Moreover, we demonstrate that campaign giving is a normal good, dependent upon income, and campaign contributions as a percent of GDP have not risen appreciably in over 100 years – if anything, they have probably fallen. We then show that only one in four studies from the previous literature support the popular notion that contributions buy legislators’ votes. Finally, we illustrate that when one controls for unobserved constituent and legislator effects, there is little relationship between money and legislator votes. Thus, the question is not why there is so little money politics, but rather why organized interests give at all. We conclude by offering potential answers to this question

This is due to dispersion, or ACA (axial chromatic aberration): your eye actually focuses at different depths for different colors. This will be most noticeable for large apertures (so at night, when your pupils are dilated), and for extremely long wavelengths... like highly spectrally pure indigos, like neon lights, or certain LEDs.
> Big brands are losing share of America’s GDP pie

A data about GDP share would be very nice but is missing.

Companies who own these brands are not losing anything. Brands are imaginary things, they aren't real. The real P&G company who manufactures and sells stuff is doing OK.
That's basically what happened with S3 a couple years back. Mistyped command caused an outage for large parts of the internet in the US. Now, I dunno if they could make a big enough mistake that would bring down the whole company, but certainly it's been proven that a single mistake can affect major portions of the internet.

Off-topic, but Whatsapp provides E2E for groups upto 256. Matrix can apparently provide E2E for bigger groups. Did they do scaling better?
> long-form data driven thinkpieces

That's not the same as "content posted to HN and Reddit".

TBH, you're probably right that this article is going to have a viewership where supporting Trump is less likely.

The pushback you're getting is that you didn't make that claim, you made a claim that implied the Trump voter base was not interested in "long-form data driven thinkpieces", which is a brand of hubris that many are getting tired of.

I guess I erred on the side of vagueness. I did understand the basic significance, but I was wondering if there was some technicality of the way OOP should be implemented per Kay or other well respected contributors to the OOP model that is referenced, e.g. the relationship between messages and objects in the paradigm, or some other thing. I did not see the term explained in this thread, his AMA, or the emails.
"we’re moving from a narrative oligopoly to a narrative democracy"

That was pretty clear to me that the past had plenty of problems.
Ask HN: Advice on self-publishing book of haikus?
(I thought my first submission would be more relevant to the stuff I like to read about, but still …)

I did a “write a haiku-a-day” challenge for myself (5-7-5 style) a few years ago, kept going for a year, then forgot about it. Stumbled across this again, sifted through them and got rid of most but feel like it would be worth publishing the rest _somehow_.

I would like some sort of physical artifact too, so AFAICT my options seem to be Lulu.com or KDP Print, if I want to self-publish, and … thought there just _might_ be someone here who’s done something similar, so … yeah, looking for any and all advice on this.

Much thanks!

Ruby and objective c are both strongly influenced by small talk. Yes. That’s on the right track.

I’d say messages are very loosely coupled compared to a function or method call.

In c everything is laid out by the linker. You can play games with function pointers, of course, but that is tricky.

Message passing isn’t really resolved till the message is actually sent. Late binding I think it’s called. Objective c gives so much control, you could add remoting at dispatch time.

I think Java’s methodinvoker is pretty much it for Java. You can implement an interface at runtime. But you don’t control dispatch quite as deeply.

Micro services approximate some of Kay’s ideas really well, but imho they give up too much control over dispatch. In ruby or objective c you can hijack the dispatch system in a way that’s really hard to do with micro services
I agree it sounds like bullshit.

However, I have listened to a talk by a lady (she consults on murdered cadavers) who can tell which season a body died in by analyzing the teeth! Apparently there is a lot there.
Incredibly illuminating. I'm not an American, but anyone who decries government waste should be forced to read it.

Sure, money gets wasted on benefits programs and other government departments.

But - if the article is true - these are dwarfed by the absolutely galactic amounts of money that seemingly disappear into the US military black hole. The amounts are staggering. Any discussion about government waste which does not include wasted defence spending is intellectually hypocritical.

Given how political it is, the problem won't be easily solved. But surely this is the type of challenge that has a technical solution (and no - a military-wide ERP does not qualify). I guess there were some vaguely promising ideas around blockchain-based solutions; presumably these died on the vine for the same political reasons that shared ERP systems wouldn't work - the solution can't assume cooperation between branches/departments.

> They’re taking advantage of the fact that there’s no filtering or approval process for ads, and that ads look almost indistinguishable from real results, and some ads take up the entire search result’s first page.

How is not Apple legally responsible for this? Apple tricks its own users to click on ads, but it doesn't take any responsability on its content. I guess that it is, but nobody is suing them and goverments have been historically soft with IT companies.

Automation and the rule of law are mutually exclusive. Or you have inmense scalable systems without human intervention or you have systems that follow local laws and ethics. And this will not change until AI has human-level understanding and intelligence.
So, Microservices are OOP!

Your post reminds me of that Onion article where a plane crash was blamed on "the best-laid plans of mice and men". Shifting people's attention to some general, existential crisis is what you do when you want to dodge uncomfortable questions.

Is this the opposite of global state management paradigms like Redux?

Using the global state requires a lot of contortion on each user's end (bureaucratic hoops) for the safety of the global state. It technically empowers every individual user with the whole state but the combination of not having to think about messaging and just brute force contorting into the global state creates terrible code IMO.

When you read ancient works the impression you get is heavily distorted by survivorship bias; it's not like we've preserved a representative sample of such works.

> the object of Gurdjieff's method was to weed out those who understood from those who do not, and those who understood went away and those who did not understand remained.

It is kind of like when scammers claim they are from Nigeria or purposely misspell words or use bad grammar. "Here! Perform these 40 silly dances and you'll become omnipotent" is the early 20th century version of "Hello kind sir/m'am. I am the crown prince of Nigeria..."
Are you trying to imply that refined sugars do not cause an increase in tooth decay? Or that fruit sugar is similar to refined sugars?

Any ties with the sugar lobbby famous for lobbying the US government into blackmailing the WHO in increasing the amounts “healthy” sugar in their dietary guidelines?
I think you missed the point that I disagree about what is and isn't a problem. I think your "increase proliferations" wording refers to people having harmless data, not causing actual abuse. It should also be clear that not all abuse is caught, and that discouraging people from reporting things is unhelpful to actual victims.

I’m 35 and have had braces for over six months now. I kind of regret it because it’s purely cosmetic and a massive pain in the behind. I also cheaped out and got train tracks instead of Invisalign. Don’t do that.

Seriously consider medical tourism. I live in China so total cost is going to be just under $3,000. You might be able to go to Mexico or Thailand every two months for your teeth cheaper than getting it done locally. If you get crowns (veneers?) on your bottom incisors you can definitely get that done cheaper in Thailand than the US, including flights and a two week holiday.
