This just isn’t true. Plenty of people at FB read HN, everyone is acutely aware of the company’s reputation, and there is robust internal discussion and debate about all of these topics (and more)
fat pointer cost can be mitigated by doing pointer preunpacking in hardware. That kind of support fell out of favor when RISC started beating CISC architectures, but if dynamic dispatch became a significant performance issue I could see it going into certain processors. We have happily returned to an era of processor experimentation.
> Google tried this with YouTube Red. It doesn't work.

YouTube Red isn't a good example. It seems to work just fine. Google is famous for being willing to cut loose efforts that don't work, and they haven't stopped YouTube Red -- they only rebranded it.

So it could be an automated test to check if the release is signed as well instead of a checklist item.

Having long checklists for comparatively simple tasks really hurts productivity, plus they're often used as an excuse to put automation in place, because 'the process is already defined' and 'people are already used to it'.

When designing a process, it is of utmost importance to keep checklist lengths minimal.
I totally get your point. However, losing track of young (1-4 years) kids in IKEA or an amusement park is a very real thing. Not using “new technology” to mitigate this issue seems like a waste.
>> They've made every size of phone between a stamp and a tablet. There's nothing left to do.

Really? My dream phone doesn't exist yet. I want a phone that is reliable, that lasts more than a few days on a single charge. I want one with two USB connections. I want one with a proper headphone jack, and a speaker that is loud enough to hear properly while driving (without a mount). For these features I am willing to trade size/weight. This phone doesn't exist yet. Until it does there remains room for improvement.

Sadly many parents don't view their children as humans with independent rights. I realized that very quickly when I voiced in a debate that removal of parts of the genitalia of children without medical indication should be illegal. The parents are not okay with letting their children decide that when they are grown up.

I think that ship has sailed already.
You are correct. The reverse is true too, why should contribute data to their maps service for free?
I've done lot of work to add and correct roads, update business info and addresses in my area. If they want to fill the map with ads they have that right - but when they drive me (and people like me) away, their product will suffer.

If you look at the `package.json`, there are only 17 dependencies, which for a node project, is not that many at all. In addition, most of libraries are "standard", well maintained, and stable.
This is probably the main issue. People have a "public face" and a "private face". Facebook is primarily a public face medium. Coworker relationships are (for the most part) public face interactions.

The only people capable of seeing the private face (and thus potential red flags) are close family members and trusted friends.

They tell me see my pastor but I don't go

Cause they all be on this one street

So I take it on myself to thank him one deep

And give my money to the most needy

And never put it in the hands of the most greedy

Cause their puttin' a price tag on a man's word

And it's a fashion show, so the men flirt

The world is endin' so they try to make us switch fast

And they openin' up these churches for some quick cash

And usin' the money fo' they new cribs

This is a political article. If you're interested in the technicals read this linked one instead (far shorter, and actually talks about the technical problems in detail):

I think the mods should leave it pointed to the Hunt article since seems people want to discuss the politics more anyway.
Google is just a bunch of groups who try to push their own product so that they can get a good review.

Well put! I really like the streamlining/automation aspect of the gardening too (drip lines, etc), and the journaling/tracking year over year.

Factorio is next in my queue. Cities: Skylines is my current go to.
Not in any particular order

Linux, git, Typora, Brave, VS code, Bulma, Serverless, AWS, Vue, Laravel, Deno, Rails, Koa, Flask, D3/ Vega, Pytourch, tensor flow, Kubernetes, Docker, Jest, Sendgrid, Twillio, Salesflare, Heyspace, Robbinhood, Twitter, Metalsmith, Stripe, Wave

Linux - Because it runs the modern world

git - because it runs the modern world, and saves me from myself

Typora - the cleanest markdown editor, it makes writing a pleasure

Brave - Fast, Build in Tor, ad blocking built in, and hopefully someday they will pay content creators fairly

VS code - minimal light code editor. Microsoft has done a great job

Bulma - The Easiest, cleanest css framework. The way they do columns is SOOOO easy to implement with emmit

Serverless - Great Wrapper around AWS lambda. Almost infinite scale without the hard work

Vue (&react) - great solution for many of the front end problems that we face daily

Laravel (&rails) - The epitome of great taste. for simple applications, laravel (&rails) will let you fly through things that you shouldn't have to think about

Deno - Still waiting to see more, but thus far it looks like Ryan Dahl has the ring of power

Koa - beautiful, minimal web framework for node

Flask - beautiful, minimal web framework for python

D3 & Vega - Vega is an awesome wrapper to simplify charting and data visualizations in D3. D3 is the most powerful data visualization framework period.

Pytourch (and maybe the updated Tensorflow???) - Deep Learning is new for me... but I couldn't ever imagine implementing what they have with tourch and TF by myself. Big achievement for humanity

K8s & docker - Similar to my feelings about serverless. Being able to scale infinitely without personal overhead is awesome

Jest- My go to testing framework. I like it because of the little creature comforts.

Sendgrid - simplicity for transactional mail, I love their UI too. really easy to get around in and get work done

Twillio - makes interacting with SMS a pleasure. Their interface/ API design is sharp and easy to work with

Salesflare - Great minimal CMS. working in it is way more efficient than any other product (SF, Sugar)

HeySpace - Really impressed me even though I don't use it anymore :( had to move to a proprietary thing.

Robbinhood - Makes trading stocks fun! I really like the UI too. (Looking at tastyworks though)

Twitter - Has helped me find people and learn things I never would have before.

Metalsmith - Super flexible SSG. I really like the way that they give control to the developer for building out sites. SSGs were also a revelation. Combined with typora I've been writing blog articles more than ever.

Stripe - the UI and APIs are beautiful

Wave - great little small business accounting system.

I'm still looking for:
- a minimal, well-documented CI/CD system thats affordable for a single dev ($7-$21/month. CircleCI is the closest)

- a marketing email system that is fairly priced

- a proposal generating system that is fairly priced

- a better banking solution

- a better way to automate KPI measurement

- contract version control, with redlining capabilities, for a fair price

I don't see it. Both IKEA and theme parks are well equipped to deal with this. Speaker systems, clearly recognizable employees, etc. "Attention visitors, little Luke can't find his parents, can the parents of Luke please come to the infodesk?"

It gets lost in his other excellent books, but I really liked Pirate Freedom. A guy from the near future finds himself sent back in time to the golden age of piracy, and Wolfe does a masterful job of tying the plot threads together at the end.

To solve this I subscribe to blinkist where they have summarized every self help book into a 15 minute read. It costs money but the summarization of content is worth it. I've read hundreds of self help essays (books) with blinkist.
I'm betting not all parents even consider these things might be making a permanent record. They just want something to find the kids if and when they're lost.
Well that's exactly my point. The French Revolution, like the American, was ultimately a victory for the merchant classes. Of course the nobles and peasants had a rough time, as you put it. Not all revolutions have the same character or, indeed, results.
We’re living in a moment in which the Shenzhen industrial complex can give us technical wonders at very low material cost. The total social cost, however, is still being measured.
I accept that you believe it, but I wish to challenge your beliefs. I hear the same talking points from most FB employees. I suspect its the local memes reinforcing cognitive dissonance.

* "Wallet inspector". I don't think the authorities would let you off if you claimed to socially engineer (steal) someones wallet. People wanted their FB supplied dopamine hit, and handing over email creds was the only thing in their way. It is coercion.

* Another FB meme -- 'people dont care so we can do what we like'. People lack the specific understanding of what they give up. It is coersive to take advantage of people like this. We talk of informed consent. FB existence is reliant on action without informed consent.
https://news.gallup.com/poll/232343/worries-personal-data-to... recent poll showed 55% of users are concerned about FB selling there data. That's a majority. I think society is growing wiser in time. My hope is the social climate matures to understand what the individual gives up by using these services.

* MZ lies to congress: "we don't sell data to anyone." Mental gymnastics to make this true. Its the entire business model of FB, selling user data to advertisers -- sure, its not the raw bytes the user uploaded (however, they provided lots of record data to 3rd parties). The social graph is data, user data, and it is sold to advertisers, integration providers, hardware vendors, etc etc. How is MZ not a liar about privacy, again and again?

* I am ignoring your assertion it was an accident. Stealing credentials isnt an accident. Full take logging (capturing creds) on your HTTP gateways is an accident (kinda). Deploying credential stealing walls is no accident. Deploying code that uses these credentials to harvest address books is no accident. Its a chain of malicious actions. Cannot be an accident.

* We have legislative and industry standards for Radio and TV (aka legacy media) to ensure that untruths don't get very far. FB, not so much. Yes, all media can be a source for misinformation, but FB really is king here.

* I dont use facebook and am extremely lonely.

* Point taken, there are worse things in this world. But to me, this is the most visible, and most actionable, today.

Thanks for engaging. I don't really know why I decided to write all of this, but Im feeling mad over this credential harvesting. Its yet another strike.

Best of luck with your career outside FB!
We can imagine something like 'an iPhone experience' pack for Android, and it's technically feasible - and may attract some attention from the customers.

But the question is - if you could get 'a pretty much iPhone' in your $200 Android for a couple of bucks a month, why would you ever buy an actual iPhone for $1000?

The 747, in particular, was intended as a freighter - a big, empty tube into which large things could be loaded, with a crew compartment up and out of the way. The passenger configuration was meant to be a stopgap measure while the SST was in development. Then it all went horribly wrong for Boeing, and they were stuck with an enormous success that accidentally changed the face of air travel. Oh, well.
No, I got that. My point is that child labor is a bit too extreme for comparisons sake.

Antifa. They promote and engage in violence all of the time. You can say x is y times worse, but violent/hateful groups are violent/hateful groups and should be treated equally. They've even been labeled a terrorist organization, but still, for some reason, have free reign over most cities.
The parent was asking a serious question, as indicated - not mocking AOC's decision as ironic. And the question is reasonable. These are all different services. How do those differences affect how damaging they are, and in what ways? Was AOC engaged with them differently, or less than, Facebook? Does she plan to not leave those services, now or in the future? Etc, etc.
*$379. The $279 Series 3 doesn't have cellular which is core functionality for this use-case.
The point was, that they "just" put that shadow system there which will perfectly encapsulate the 737MAX to match the old 737 "interface".

Now, they completely fucked that up. They did a so mindblowingly bad job, that anyone involved at the FAA who should have known about this should be in jail. Either for incompetence (negligence) or worse.

They designed a system that relied on one input, operated periodically, told no one, documented nowhere, made it too powerful, always on, and un-turn-off-able, and spent the rest of the day corrupting/pleasing the FAA, then made the AoA input mismatch light an upsell feature, and finally called it a day.
The mods are usually pretty quick to review these things even before anyone asks. Also even though I don't think there's a way to tag people on HN, if you mention @dang , he usually shows up pretty quickly.

The problem is that what you describe as "natural" stigma reenforces the problem, as people feel stigmatized and rejected and go deeper in their isolation and problems. I think part of the solution is actually for people who express your opinion to get over themselves, and realize for example how you just said happiness can be contagious in a similar way, so why not decide to be a contagion for good rather than dismiss someone as a contagion for bad. That won't fix your friends' problems totally but it goes further than people realize.
So what do you use now
I believe "vouch" is only for comments, not the HN post itself.
Yup. Made good money from it and have helped others as well.
This is a perfect example of how our implementation of the basic web is incomplete.

Any informed person, given the choice, would absolutely want that data going directly from child to parent, with no web service, accounts, analytics, cloud, nothing. And when such a thing finally does hit the market, it's going to be through a vendor/device lock-in, or a supposedly secure silo'd infrastructure, instead of a simple protocol that let's us develop actual P2P applications.

It's really a simple fix, it would kill off a ton of bad companies, or change their economics, and would open up web development to a whole new paradigm. Somebody please...!

The degree with which people compare social media to drugs (with all the baggage that entails) fucking astounds me sometimes. I would fully expect a serious reply to a comment like yours to be "that's just because you're addicted".

It's a fad in some circles to hate on social media. And a particularly tiresome one, since it's doing nothing more than highlighting the pathological ways humans have always behaved, even in its absence. Availability heuristic.
This is what IBM has always done. 20 years ago they pretended that their Deep Blue chess engine was in all their IT products. It's similar to how DeepMind AlphaGo is PR for Google's AI effort, but IBM takes it to comical extremes.
That sounds like you'd need a portable garden. (Whether that still works is another question.)

I've seen people talk about car plants, which would be a similar idea. (The feasibility depends a lot on climate of course.) And then of course there are many houseplants enthusiasts, it seems easy to develop some kind of addiction when stressed or mentally not well. Plants everywhere!
Same idea for datashader.

I work in UX and this isn't unintentional. The copy "Facebook doesn't save your password" proves this was intentional. I'm sure the PMs there are all drinking the cool-aid and are rewarded in getting as much data from the user as possible.
>We're all angry at the broken promise of what the web could be

Most users enjoyed the web in 200X. It wasn't a broken promise. It worked. Then there was a concerted Web 2.0 campaign[1] that pushed in the direction of "harnessing the collective intelligence". Well, Twitter is what "collective intelligence" looks like in real life.

Metadevelopment: A digest on career and life in tech
I wouldn't say I necessarily agree with doing this when it comes to Facebook, but is there really no circumstance in which you think it'd be justified to cut off contact with a friend because of where they work?

For instance, if I had a friend whose job it was to design missiles that are used to bomb innocent people (Lockheed-Martin for instance) I would seriously reconsider my friendship with that person. Yes, it's "just their job" but choosing to have a job which requires having such warped ethics would make me reconsider whether I want to continue associating with them.

Nobody is forced to work at such companies. Yes, effectively all companies do things which we don't agree with on some level (unimaginably large amounts of tax avoidance being the most obvious example). But if a company's ethics are completely antithetical to your own, then I don't see how you could morally justify working for them.

(Obviously there are some understandable exceptions to the above -- the most obvious being that in the US employees are effectively blackmailed into working for their employer because they'll lose their heath insurance otherwise.)

The chart you linked to shows a language with far less letter->pronunciation variance than English, so I don't quite understand your point.

Unless you're trying to say that several characters have different phonetic bindings than they do in English. This is true of most languages that use a variant the Roman alphabet as does English.

Agreed on the ability to search for programs, add to that the difficulty in creating a meaningful name that won't confuse at least some users and doesn't step on trademarks or other project names. Even popular software titles have naming issues, with brand recognition being the main distinguishing factor that helps people figure out what the software does:

- Excel, says absolutely nothing about what the product does.

- PowerPoint is only tangentially related to what the product does.

- Internet Explorer vs. Windows Explorer confuses many users.

To avoid singling out just Microsoft, look at Apple:

- Numbers basically depends upon people associating spreadsheets with any form of quantitative analysis.

- Keynote is only tangentially related to what the product does.

- Safari says absolutely nothing about what the program does.

Contrast that to the brilliantly named GIMP: GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is clearly a program for enhancing photographs of gnu's! Okay, maybe it's not so brilliant. Yet it does demonstrate that naming is hard even when the name states what the program is.
It's good we still have doctors to provide oversight for this sort of thing.
