Not the direct point of the article, but as an aside, it really concerns me how easy it is to find a mother's maiden name these days, considering how often it's used as at least a partial proof of identity.
Are your outlets properly grounded?
Not that (which is similar to my setup), I mean tty[0-6] which come up when you press ctrl-alt-F[1-6]
It is indeed a "huge blessing." A "huge blessing" for the owners of companies who are able to use "culture" as an excuse for the exploitation of workers. The upside of this exploitation only ever accrues to owners, never to employees, and the vast majority of employees, even in tech / startups, don't own any equity in the companies they work for, so there's really no excuse for this kind of nonsense to be taken seriously.
I guess the “extend” phase is about to begin.

I think we're in agreement, but Tesla has a lot of customers buying into the "Full Self Driving" promise. If you look at the "Full Self Driving" package currently available for $5k on their website, you'll notice that it doesn't even claim to be able to drive without a driver. It talks about doing what EAP can do today + doing it on city streets. What EAP can do today is basically adaptive cruise control with lane keeping and automatic lane change (which also requires you to hold the steering wheel).
I did not know what. You sir, have made my day.
Meanwhile, capitalism is wholly predicated on unfairness, where the "haves" exploit the "have nots" to get as much for themselves as they can.

Why does a woman getting "credited unfairly" strike a nerve when it happens every day that a CEO takes singular credit for an entire corporation worth of people's work with no "Unfair credit!" reaction?
Ask HN: Founders, have you ever mentored someone or been mentored?
I've read that having a mentor can really help when you're a startup founder.

But how do you set up an effective relationship?

Do you have regular meetings? How often?

Is it helpful to have a standard agenda? What gets covered?

Would love to hear your experience.
The primary cause of the ambiguity is that "Full Self Driving" is a marketing term that Tesla uses and not a unconditional promise. It is just like how cell phone companies promise "Unlimited Data" with a variety of caveats. So there is a question of whether people are talking about the primary definition of "full" or Tesla's marketing definition of "full".
I'm no expert, but when they talk about multiple CPUs I understood them to mean multiple cores, not necessarily multiple CPUs on different motherboard sockets. Even midrange phones today typically have CPUs with multiple cores.

Google may have some intention of running Fuschia on servers, but even if you're developing a kernel for pocket mobile devices, you're still going to want to handle multiple cores.

Whether this signals Google's intentions to stop supporting Linux, who knows, but there are still a lot of other organizations invested in supporting Linux on servers.
Hopefully the industry learned it's lesson with Google and it's handling of the Android Open Source Project [1].

I don't think manufacturers of devices can bet their futures on Google.

"cpu" is "core". Almost all phone CPUs are multi-core. The low end of phone (and Raspberry Pi 2 V1.2 and newer) CPUs is quad core ARM Cortex A53, which is a small slow in-order design, similar to the original Intel Pentium from 1995. Older low end phones used the 32bit quad core ARM Cortex-A7. single core ARM11 phones are extinct.

They don't mean multi-socket systems, and I don't see mention of NUMA, which is the interesting case for servers where RAM is connected to some memory controller in a socket and to reach it from a CPU in a different socket you need to do extra hops, so some memory addresses are more distance than others and schedulers should take that into account to achieve good performance.
> Some record labels have (had?) sweetheart deals with Spotify

That reminds me of something else I've been thinking about. The labels all have substantial equity stakes in Spotify. It feels like that could be a massive conflict of interest or maybe a collusion problem. Why should the labels push for higher streaming fees when that could hurt Spotify's stock price which would hurt the label's own balance sheets?
Can you disable it in the source code (server_config.py)?

Are we just going to erase chunks of history because we don't like it?

Yes. News sites now edit articles without posting a notice or a retraction. Search engines now de-index parts of the web, citing various reasons. Activist organizations are now writing founders out of their web published history.

When we have time for cooler heads to prevail, hopefully this content can be resurrected once the information is no longer as timely or relevant.

Nope. The power to rewrite history amounts to absolute power over the consensus perception of reality. Almost no one who realizes they have such power relinquishes it voluntarily. (No modern tech company I know of resembles Cincinnatus.) The optimal plan would have involved slowly changing things over time, such that it would be barely noticed. The implementation was botched by impatient humans, however.

Stewardship over all the world's information?

Stewardship over all of the people's social links and relationships?

"Don't be evil."

(To be balanced here, many of the fringe conspiracy groups would do the same thing, if they could, and erase or rewrite parts of history. The difference is that some big corporations and governments are a lot closer to having enough power to achieve such a thing.)
Never had to deal with Firefox ESR, and very few customers are still stuck on IE 11, thanks to the ongoing migration to Windows 10.

Latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari support all necessary features for Web Components.
Majority of my YT view history is music. 90% of my recommended videos are similar genres of music, but there is nearly always some political/culture war/conspiracy video sitting there as well. The other day it was "The REAL truth about the Vietnam War". Super relevant in 2019.

Fortunately, I can block channels from my Recommended, but there are hundreds of similar channels out there, so killing one just means it'll be replaced by the next nutjob channel in the queue.
What is the MMM?
My main resource is Japanese TV, which is unfortunately hard to see outside Japan. They have quiz shows that are meant to train jobseekers on how to behave and maximize their chances. It’s right down to details like which seat to take in the waiting area before your meeting, where and when to sit in a conference room, whether or not to accept a drink offer, how to knock on a door, how to close a door behind you, etc.

This news is making me appreciate all those decentralized blockchain based internet ideas floating around a little bit more. You can't remove anything from them, which is both good and very bad. I'm torn, but only because of bad actors in governments causing unnecessary and stupid problems.
British Columbia is a million square kilometres for 5 million people. 3 million of whom live in urban areas along the 49th parallel. This is to say that BC is a vast, rugged, rural land. Running out of gas is easy to do and quite deadly.

The political parties in charge want to give well-off urbanites $5000+ each for premium vehicles. Vehicles incapable of functioning in the majority of the province. Somehow a few rich Canadians no longer filling up at the pump will halt climate change for the world.
I've noticed this a few times - it's usually what e when a stray Lightning/USB cable is touching another part of my body.
Sell a product that people want to buy and then don't run out of business making that product. If you have traction already, leverage it. Keep costs super lean. Expect slow but steady growth. The only reason to take VC money is if you are reasonably certain someone with better funding than you could eat your lunch. How to know if someone can eat your lunch: do you have any IP or trade secrets or secret sauce? No? Maybe you should raise VC money, but realize you will be competing on execution and not on special sauce.

I think you should rules about it at the workplace. At mine, I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've seen an @here. And one of them, the person was told he shouldn't have done it since it wasn't important. Really makes everything think before they use it.

The stuff on YouTube is pretty ridiculous, but it did lead me to discover http://www.bbctvlicence.com - an archive of the automated and increasingly aggressive (until the cycle resets) letters TV Licensing inundate non-license holding households with. I've got a personal stack of around 10, I've only lived here half a year.

The BBC doesn't do themselves any favours in winning back non-payees with these tactics.

That's a turn of phrase to indicate that not everyone loves, but it _is_ well known and probably the biggest consumer OS on the planet in terms of volume.

Since 95% or more of typical newsrooms are progressive Democrats, isn't it likely that there is just as much bias in the other direction on those outlets?
The Mythical Man-Month, by Fred Brooks

Google has chosen to cherry pick commits to upstream, there is still plenty of stuff on AOSP, and much more on internal Googleplex repos.
> MSWin running in a VM on Linux is faster than on hardware.

That's funny. I didn't know that. Any data source you can share with me?
> People who dare to be themselves and expose uncommon views or preferences are shunned every day.

This is false, when put it in the big picture - which is necessary. As they say, "Poor people are crazy; rich people are eccentric."; it's not about money; it's about having personality.

In this sense, eccentricity ("uncommon views", etc.) is a multiplier. If a person is perceived as a "loser", and is eccentric, they're going to be even more, and ultimately an outcast. If they're instead perceived as a "winner", they're going to be even more winner, and ultimately an icon.

Of course part of the big picture is complicated by the surrounding culture, the "taste" in the eccentricity ("gross eccentric" and "racist eccentric" are certainly not good in any case, for example), and so on, but the general principle stands.

Note that I'm using the terms loser/winner quite liberally; it's not easy to capture this human aspect.
Not too discount your experience but I found WaniKani to be very tedious and slow paced which steered me away from learning Kanji.

Yeah in Northern BC solar is pretty marginal I think. BC does have heaps of hydro electric power though. There is a lot of potential for wind power off the coast of Haida Gwaii as well (and I assume many other places off the northern coast).
>First of all, GDPR does not apply to personal sites.

And next to no websites actually fall under this exemption. Furthermore, simply to know that your website falls under this exemption comes with the cost. You must know that your website falls under this exemption, requiring you to know GDPR and/or requiring a lawyer to look it over (high cost).

>This is simply false. If you want to post something on the 'net, nothing changes.

Simply having to know what GDPR is, what it covers, and whether you fall under it has a cost. So the statement that nothing changes is patently false.

Also, I'm pretty sure that by default most software that serves websites would already put you under GDPR, because it collects IP addresses and they're considered personal data.

>Agreed. But small sites were always at the mercy of random script kiddies. They always lacked resources to properly handle updates/upgrades, security, data, end-of-life termination, etc.

So, because there were other limiting factors for them we might as well make it illegal to run such websites? I guess I can understand why the EU's tech sector is doing so poorly.

>Again, similarly, if you handle a lot of data you should be able to accurately take a stock of what kind of data you have about whom, hence the requirement to respond to these inquiries.

But it's not about that. It's "if you handle any data then you must constantly be available to tell users what data you have about them". This, ironically, puts people's data at risk, because suddenly you forced website owners to reply to phishing requests. What's the chance that every single website owner everywhere never gives out personal data to the wrong person? I would say that that chance is effectively zero.
Sure there are, they are known as "legacy HALs" on Project Treble documentation.
I'm aware how much of a cliche 1984 comparisons are, but this resembles Winston's job in the Ministry of Truth far too well.
It's interesting how different types of music have thrived through the streaming economy.

Hip hop is huge on Spotify, where it struggled for radio play and sales before because commercial radio is so conservative (in the sense of risk-averse). Then there's the whole Billie Eilish thing: huge on Spotify, almost no radio play at all.

On the other hand, there are Billboard 100 artists who are more or less absent from the streaming landscape. Some sell lots of albums but aren't on the streaming charts at all.

It's probably not as simple as saying that streaming is only good for established artists, but bad for the long tail. For some of the previous long tail, it's been very good. And for some of the oldies, it's been phenomenal - Spotify enables them to monetize their back catalogue with near zero promotion or distribution costs, year round.
The epistemological reality of those events are not as simple as you assume. For the most part, that annihilation event is a short-hand analogy for a term in an equation. Another way to think of it is that this 'happening everywhere' style of particle-anti-particle annihilation relies on the inherent uncertainty of energy over short time scales, and thus it 'borrows' energy that doesn't exist in order to precede, but under any measurable timescale the energy must be conserved, and so these events are likewise unobservable. So it's not a simple matter to assume they happen, or that they are the same phenomenon as annihilation in general.

That's faulty reasoning. His judgement could have been completely wrong, and he just got lucky this time.

I don't. The only time I would choose to endanger my own life on my bike is if the alternative is endangering someone else's life.
I'd say it's possible, I wouldn't say it's very common though - in my opinion the majority of progressives are guilty of hypocrisy in this respect.
I'm sure if you try hard and use all of your creative juices you can imagine that it's just the beginning of a flood of projects that will have completely changed things by 2040.

I should replay Savoir Faire.
Kids watch that stuff and don't yet know how to sift through the trash to get to the good videos. They're like us in 2007 when we'd all get Rick Roll'd by blindly clicking on YT links placed on forums.

By setting their KPIs arund "view time", YT created a product which caters almost exclusively to kids and conspiracy nuts, aka the only 2 demographics that have seemingly unlimited time to watch cartoons or people talking into a camera.
Energy isn't the problem, our dominant energy sources are the problem, as we all know.

For early stage, I think Earnest Capital does this but you'd have to ask Tyler.

For later stage, I would look at Timia Capital. Some of the payment processors that SaaS companies use may also have their own solutions that just look at your MRR and let you borrow an appropriate amount against that automatically.
This is why free speech is such an essential right in the United States, and probably contributes to the success it’s had as a country in making things. It’s hard to create when some government can come along and crush your idea. I can’t think of any other country in the world that has fewer limits on speech.
Not to mention the cost of necessary therapy.
What an attention grabbing first line but ultimately contradictory. If you hate software you hate streams because streams are software.

Guess what? I hate computers. If you do less streaming across computers and put everything in a monolithic code base you need less computers. Is what I just said pointless, obvious and attention grabby? well so is the first couple lines of this article.
The purpose of the Internet archive is to maintain history, and they are a really great resource. To do this though, they don't really need to make current content live - they could just as well have a 6-month embargo between archiving content and making it live. This would make it hard for anyone to abuse it as a way round censorship, at least for for timely content, which most terrorist propaganda is.

I'm not trying to excuse the French IRU's excessive and rather broken censorship requests, but the archive's current behaviour is ripe for abuse.
Absolutely. The Internet Archive should not sacrifice its core mission so that Europeans governments can impose censorship without impacting their citizens negatively.
> Since 95% or more of typical newsrooms are progressive Democrats

A majority (but a smaller one) are Democrats, and almost all of the corporate/neoliberal center-right faction, not the progressive faction.
You could still use a TreeSet which only requires ordering and equality, but not hashing.

As a side note, though, your earlier example would not be comparable via Equals, as it violates transitivity. Which is also what makes it impossible to generate a hash code consistent with its Equals implementation.
If something hasn't "necessarily" saved musicians, then there's not much of a defense of whatever else it's done for the industry.

And any idea that services like Spotify were just the only way forward to revenue is one that thoroughly ignores the growth of digital recording sales that took place independent of it (not to mention what they may well have been like if it'd never happened).

Buffet streaming services marry the worst of piracy and the old-school middleman capture. They give the illusory impression that you're actually rewarding value.

All automakers receive the EV subsidies you mention, not just Tesla. If you want the subsidy, make EVs! If you don't, buy ZEV credits from those who do (many thanks California and the EU) when you don't meet your fleet emissions targets. Will the US government support Tesla if they fail in the same way GM did? Hardly, because the GM bailout was a jobs program.

My defense is hard problems have deadlines that will be blown passed, and it's not uncommon unless the problem is incredibly well scoped or you're just lazy and set the bar low by design (ie most automakers).

This is not to say Tesla and Musk don't have problems; they do, but credit should be provided where due.
You're thinking of the DC-X demonstration vehicle, which was a scaled down non-orbital vehicle. Similar to the early SpaceX grasshopper vehicle.
It's a good thing that https://dweb.me/ exists. "The Internet views censorship as damage and routes around it."
I keep looking back on past comments and finding stuff like that. I wonder if someone has come up with a homophone/typo mistake filter? Being able to turn that on for opponents one would like to discredit would be really insidious and evil. What if some evil genius at Google has come up with a hidden way to do this in Chrome? Would we ever know? Maybe not, if the frequency was kept low enough.
This is embarassing on so many levels. For the record, those weren't "false" reports, they were false reports. No need for scare quotes here, just read the blog[0] (also, good job BBC for not linking to the blog). Among the links asked to be taken down are scholar articles on Spectrum Sharing or US reports.

Furthermore, laws that require action "within the hour" from small organizations that don't have the manpower to answer those shouldn't exist. The fact that the Internet Archive risks getting blocked is ridiculous. Those laws have a huge potential for abuse.

And finally, despite this having hit the news yesterday already, they are still "receiving lots of takedown notices from the French IRU." So it looks like the IRU doesn't give a crap. This is a sad world we live in.

I don’t know, but that’s how people felt with Yahoo, AOL, IBM, etc at different times.

A few ideas:

Walmart. Their grocery delivery service is already baked into our weekly workflow. Plus they benefit from having X000 stores around the USA. They really are getting their act together.

Wayfair and friends. Wayfair is demonstrating that certain verticals really benefit from having a dedicated site and customer service matters.

The problem I've seen is that this is rarely true. We've had a big set of grads we've trained that quit for a 20% pay rise, or a project that they happen to like better. Many regretted it but it didnt stop the next guys from doing the same. I'm really burnt out over teaching green newbies again and again.
