Oh, thanks for the info! Rare to see a phrase with antonymic regional differences ("I'll try it / I won't try it") survive in today's globalized world etc etc.

I know responsive design is important in a mobile-first world. But the grid systems I've seen (mini.css; it's my first web project in 15 years and I've decided not to use frameworks, just bash rocks together until the browser talks and listens to an API server) are nooot great.

They're significantly wordier than old school tables, and significantly more confusing to write by hand too. The one good thing is that they shrink with window size.

I know I shouldn't be coding up web "apps" by hand and instead learn React or whatever, but why should the whole making webpages an active hurdle for a techy person of average intelligence who can e.g. move some of his custom code from numpy to tensorflow?

Maybe I didn't google the right things, but I expected something that allowed me to say "div id=topnavbar" or something. As opposed to a lot of width classes that...

Next thing you know I'm not allowed to repair my TV despite having had a short protoboard-electronics hobby in my teens. I jest.
The last company I worked for (quasi-government) would issue special temporary laptops and blackberries for international travel. You were not allowed to take company devices outside the US. At one point they brought someone in from the CIA to basically scare us with stories of how your devices will be targeted at the border, or even by someone breaking into your room when you are not there.
Yep. The browser + web has effectively evolved into what all the deliberate attempts to create thin clients mostly failed at. (Just as app stores largely do what application virtualization was supposed to.)

A forensic search would require reasonable suspicion. I'm not aware of any legal weight attached to batteries - what's the legal precedent you're thinking of?

Zuckerberg tho seems to me like a very bad person making very bad things most of the time.
It’s the same as it’s always been, and the same at most of the big tech companies: Everyone believes they are changing the world for the better while extracting value through some kind of exploitation.

Morale is high because paychecks are high. How much you get paid is the key indicator of how much you are worth as a human being. That’s the game we play.
There is something to be said for using a solid client that is both provider and platform agnostic. You don't get used to fancy features of some client, just to have lose them. It forces you to build habits that work across multiple setups.
It seems like reasons you might invest in a VC fund could include portfolio diversification (if returns are counter cyclical or have low correlation with other asset classes), risk profile or expected performance. It would seem a little surprising if tech focused VC funds had low correlation overall with the NASDAQ but maybe it's the case. If it's mostly about risk profile and VC is riskier then at least according to traditional theory it ought to outperform the NASDAQ over a good period for tech like the last decade but would underperform in a down cycle.
I'm not even upset that Facebook is lobbying for their own self interest. I just wish such a blatant attempt would have a lower chance of success.
Yeah. I'm also not clear on the practicality of retrimming the aircraft at low altitude (Ethiopian was never >1000ft above ground) before impacting terrain after you disable the trim motor. You have to use a hand crank, because you just killed the trim motor altogether, and I think it takes several minutes (!) of cranking to get the jackscrew from one end to the other.

I wonder if they killed the trim motor and then failed to reach level flight before the ground got in the way.
That's exciting, I wish I could try it. So it means we can have sushis ?
> I don't have much sympathy for Netflix since you can't acquire a standalone copy of most of their content (TV yes, but I believe to date they've yet to release an original movie on physical media) - you must subscribe to watch the videos. They sort of release in theaters, sometimes, whenever they feel like it, but the majority of their content is locked into their platform. I feel like Netflix would love for there to be zero requirements to show their movies in theaters.

But that's not the thing Spielberg, et. al. are saying disqualifies them. It's this vague idea that it's a "TV format" and something about amount of time in theaters:

> “Once you commit to a television format, you’re a TV movie. You certainly, if it’s a good show, deserve an Emmy, but not an Oscar,” he said at the time. “I don’t believe films that are just given token qualifications in a couple of theaters for less than a week should qualify for the Academy Award nomination.”
There are several active competitors depending on how you define the market. WeChat, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc.

Agreed. I would posit that it can't possibly be "hacker-proof" if it hasn't been released into the wild and put in front "hackers."

Monte-carlo algorithm don't make random choices. The "randomness" part is simply a device used to approximate expected values (integrals) in very large spaces.
One could make the argument though that as CEO at the time, even if he'd knew flaws, how could he from his position advertise "insecure but it looks nice!". Do you think he would keep his job? Elon Musk is a good example what happens when a CEO is making solo statements.
I really dislike comments like these, and I find it dismaying that they've gained currency on HN recently. Almost every article about Facebook or Google has some variation of this comment.

> It's almost comic villainy - like, everything they say, do, propose, etc. is always evil in some way.

The problem I have with it is that you can replace the meaning of "they", and have this comment "work" for any number of biased echo chambers. Go ahead and replace "they" with Facebook, Google, Obama, Trump, Exxon-Mobil, scientists, billionaires, politicians, Internet trolls, the media, ad nauseam.

If this sentence can work for any of these scenarios, verbatim, then what's the point of uttering it?

To bring this back to the issue at hand: is there anything Zuckerberg could say that would make you not respond this way? And if you can't come up with anything, are you sure you aren't completely biased against Facebook such that nothing they can do will ameliorate you?
To be fair, formally proving that it contains no buffer overruns, timing differences, or memory access differences does make it immune to many/most of the standard hacking vulnerabilities.
Yes, but unfortunately necessary.
EverCrypt: A Verified Crypto Provider
"While digital storage has fallen drastically in price, archiving all this material still costs money. “Who’s going to pay for it?”"

This is really interesting. If you think about it, for all of our print archives, the creator bore some of the cost of archiving it. When you print a book you have to send a copy to the library of congress, so the "storage" is paid for by the publisher. Same with newspaper archives -- usually the newspaper is sent by the publisher, who pays for the "storage" (the paper and ink). I think the UK and France and many other countries have similar systems.

But in the digital age, the entire cost is carried by the archiver.
Officers need articulable facts for reasonable suspicion. Not consenting to a search is explicitly not grounds for reasonable suspicion here or in any other context
>Any threat, whether implied or stated, that they will hold you until you unlock your device is not real

Except the threat to put you on a "mess up with every time they fly" list.
> The mathematical proof might be 100% solid and hacker proof. The implementation will probably never be.

I agree, I see a few ways that it could go wrong:

- Code is proven correct against the specification, but specification is wrong/buggy

- source code is correct/secure, but compiler is overzealous and botch the securities guarantees.
Ha, that's great! Although it is 1996, which is much better archived then earlier years.
You just quashed your own fears. Fortunately this is going nowhere because it's so blatant.
Bot these companies are heavily funded and are not currently operating 100% based on their own revenue. Once these companies go public, you'll know the real impact of these companies.

Until now, they have been good with providing employment/independence to many people, while improving transport options to the public.

But, once they go public and they cannot throw money at drivers/riders, I expect many drivers to be negatively affected mainly because they start with a new car, purchased/leased through a subprime loan lender, when initial earnings are high. They start feeling the pinch a few months in, when they realize their bonuses are reducing and they are working more days in a month to payoff the car, and receive less into their account.

Sad thing is that, the same billionaires from such startups, will open a foundation/charity to help the poor, and they'll be lauded as "great philanthropists"
> "...so we are going to stop offering it,” Facebook wrote.

Stop patronizing us. Seriously, you look foolish and ignorant. Drop the marketing speak and own your screw-up.
Profits based on the sale of data has been discussed a few times on HN. However, the price for it is so low on a per user basis.

That said, there should be a law on the books that disallow the sale of data between companies. I'd wager this is the bulk of where Facebook makes it's money. That's where we should be targeting with legislation.

The use of data should be fine. As the end-user or end-company never actually get their hands on the data. They just use a UI with categories and filters and put up ads based on the options available.
chords aren’t discoverable. they’re like keyboard shortcuts but worse - at least keyboard shortcuts have a letter name that could be an initialism
It seems hard to square that with what seems to be Spielberg's real objection, which is that Netflix is diminishing the theatrical experience. He prioritizes that film experience over any other. It seems incoherent to make rules about home media in order to support theaters.
Yep! I'm an angel investor in them from outside of the U.S. so I haven't tried it myself but friends who have say it's great:

Here is a surmised sequence of events:

CONGRESS: Zuck come testify in front of us

ZUCK: Crap! I am not comfortable with that

PUBLIC: Zuck looks like a fucking android/alien, also screw FB for messing up our PII

CONGRESS: You keep messing with privacy concerns of the public through ways and means we don't understand because we are dinosaurs, corrupt ones at that; how can we make money from you?

ZUCK: (to FB C-suite++ legal a-team); HOW THE HELL CAN YOU MAKE ME LOOK SO STUPID! Buy them ASAP

LEGAL-A-TEAM: (to the PUBLIC) "Zuck would like to make the internet more connected to our [ZUCK'S] vision of a more secure [FOR ZUCK] internet, which serves the needs [OF ZUCK's] users' privacy [CONTINUED ADDITION OF PII TO FB FOR THE PROFIT AND CONTROL OF FB AND NOW THROUGH THIS, EXTENDING TO TENTACLES IN THE .GOV]

Mapped: Historic public transit systems vs. their modern equivalents
Web apps have several advantages over the desktop, but one of them is that the web browser provides an abstraction layer over the GUI crap you'd otherwise have to write and the cross-platform support you'd otherwise have to worry about. Not only does this reduce the effort required, it also means you don't have to learn a whole new ecosystem.
How Gen Z Is Different, According to Social Scientists
If you're, say, to get non-political for a moment, and talk about flat-Earthers, the media doesn't put finding like-minded delusional individuals one click away.

Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit do.

That's the fundamental difference. You can get a biased, partisan opinion from whichever tabloid you read... But that tabloid doesn't make it trivial to discover that there's two dozen like-minded lunatics, that you can get together with, to get validation for your crazy ideas.

Reading, or having a subscription to the Wall Street Journal doesn't give me membership in the political club it's targeted at, or a hotline to a dozen industrialists. Reading something shared by the Flat Earth Society of Truth on Facebook does, because the link to their Facebook group is right there, and they are looking for members.
What?! Its the standard surveillance technique of security forces worldwide - tracking the movements of a suspect. I'm convinced somebody is trolling here, and it isn't me.
I agree, although, considering the age of Dreamweaver, I don't think we've come far enough. In other words, my younger self from early 00's would have expected way more from 2019. I didn't know what I wanted had a name (CCSS[1]), but I wanted it, and unfortunately for the web platform, there's still no official implementation, but at least there's a JS-based one[2].

I think you're missing the gist of his statement and also overlooking the word "almost"?

That being said, most of your definitions are still dependent on competitively pricing securities. A market maker who can't calculate reasonable theos won't be a market maker for long.
While I wouldn't call Facebook content benign, I definitely try to be mindful when I see articles like these that news sites like Bloomberg are so eager to attack Facebook because Facebook is the biggest and most direct threat to their business model.

There's certainly a lot of irony in this article lambasting Facebook for spreading outrage culture, itself written in such a vitriolic tone
"for manipulating hashes, I almost always use |k, v|. If I'm working with pairs, |x, y|"

Those are massive improvements over "@1 @2".

You make the case yourself. Using "k, v" as a convention immediately signifies these are a key and its value. Using x, y indicate this is a pair (and x and y are of the same type, I assume?).

If you're going that route, why not just create a disk image and scp it from your server? Certainly a lot easier than trying to rebuild everything from scratch.

When I was returning from Hong Kong a few weeks ago, the agent asked what city I was born in (fine) what hospital I was born in (I remember where it used to be, but I can't remember the name) and what the "number" of the county was I grew up in.

What he meant was the prefix for the license plate. Luckily I remembered it. I suspect he grew up in the area, but it was super weird; also, he was probably fairly bored.
First, the title of the article is typically from Quanta Magazine, which often uses editorialized clickbait titles to popularize scientific topics. Today, even Nature Communications seem to do it occasionally. If these claims are not directly from the official project, I don't see any red-flag here, it's an legitimate research project on formal verification.

On second thought, I think deliberately releasing a PR advertisement which claims a system is "unbreakable" can be a good way to receive free security audits.

So perhaps EverCrypt as a free and open source project who understands this point, the developers deliberately allowed Quanta Magazine to use this title, and so far, it has successfully received the attention of at least 5 HN users...

To be fair, I think that it's primarily the content owners pushing this ridiculousness. OP's project is not a general purpose browser, and it will not compete substantially with any Google products, so I don't think this is a case of Google trying to knock out OP.

I completely agree that this is unacceptable... but I think the blame really rests on the content owners who forced this DRM in the first place. Every damn thing on Netflix is widely available on torrents in hours, so it's totally useless and just makes things worse for everyday consumers.
Yes, or as we used to call it back in the day "empirically".

Plus, it doesn't matter if it happens as much or more in some backwater third world country.

It's already enough of a problem that among first world countries the US is quite a pain in the ass airport control.

Heck, it's enough of a problem that it feels like a pain in the ass. It wont be less of a problem if per capita e.g. Belgium or Albania are worse...
Interesting post. So are you saying that if there was a good standard for versioned web archives, then you could stop maintaining your website and just point people to the archives?
One major difference is "the media" is not a monolithic entity with singular purpose, while Facebook is.

I also don't know of any other media property that has Facebook's "circulation"; Facebook has around 2.3 billion "subscribers".
That's how I feel when using a keyboard with an integrated trackpoint.

Not everybody agrees, of course.
The 3 key features that most people I know who still use Facebook are Photo Sharing, Event Organizing, and Messaging. The things you listed do one or two, but I don't think any of them do all 3.

If you live in the SF Bay area and this article piques your interest, you should check out the Niles Film Museum: http://nilesfilmmuseum.org/ in Fremont, on the site of Charlie Chaplin's old studio. They are dedicated to the preservation of silent film and they have regular showings of Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and other stars of early silent film, with a live pianist and a docent who usually gives a 5 minute or so talk at the beginning giving you some background.
>When you print a book you have to send a copy to the library of congress

As best I can tell, you only need to send two copies of a book to the Library of Congress if you want to get an LCCN. Otherwise, there's no requirement to do so, certainly not to receive copyright protection.
Ask HN: Good Examples of Swift REST Clients?
I'm getting back into coding (using Swift) and need to develop an async REST client. Do you know any good open-source examples or tutorials I can look at?
Ask HN: I feel sad about my life and job, and do not know what to do
I am 20 years old and I am on my first job as a backend web developer. I feel crushed by it.

There aren't many people beside me who work on the same project. I feel like the code base is a mess. Bug fixing is really hard, because it's hard for me to understand what is happenining, and there are little to no logs left when a bug happens, and it feels very exhausting to think about how the software works even on a high level due to a lot of cases/weird behaviour in the code. It sometimes just feels impossible to find out why something happened when all I have is a stack trace and messy logic spread out in multiple different layers.

I've never worked before. I've never been actively part of a large and complex software project before. I do not know - is this normal ? Is it normal to be so hard to understand how it all works ? I am told that I am doing well on it - but I feel so uncertain about everything, because I have nothing to compare to.

I do not have many friends. Just two. And I feel lonely because of it. They are good friends, but we do not go out often together, we do not party often together. I do talk to them everyday, but wish to have something more, to do something more. It's hard for me to talk to people when I go out - lately I've been trying to be more open, more social and also lose some weight so I can at least like myself a little.

But right now, while this is clashing with my job. I cannot stop breaking down. Every week there is something - maybe something little that I cannot overcome and all of my problems start to come down on me. While previously I could struggle through the challenges at work and make it, now I just cannot stop thinking about all the things I do not like about myself, my friends and my job.

Do I try to leave my job ? My colleagues are good people and from what I can tell are very skilled developers. I might lose a good opportunity to learn a lot. I need income too and other companies might not be better off.
I totally agree with what you are saying, but to nitpick/go on a tangent, the direction of information flow may matter too. From what I understand, the Little Red Book was more of a symbol or product of the cult of personality and hysteria, rather than the _cause_ of subsequent hysteria after its publishing. In other words, there was plenty of dogma to go around that it may not have created more chaos, and had it not existed, some other symbol may have taken its place. It would be interesting to see how much content on Facebook, despite high propagation, is mostly destined for echo chambers, or actually spurring new action and converting others.
The article had a lot of high level talk about how they are using AI and other companies use “hard coded rules” that break on edge cases. What I don’t understand is how using either extreme could be true. An all ML approach wouldn’t follow things like stoplights or speed limits and an all “3D map” approach couldn’t account for any changes in the road.
