He was kicked off another dating app, not for his behavior, but because he created a fake profile (most likely because twitter anger mobs found him and keep getting him kicked off) and more so, because the owners of these sites don't personally agree with his acquittal.

We are living in scary times. Even if US courts find you innocent, it seems you can be found guilty by mob justice and banned from society by new-age fascism.
>I am a big fan of this. As a 25 year old, I feel that I was truly the last general to experience what true boredom was like as a kid.

I am aware what I am going to say will sound condescending, although I do not mean it in a negative manner; but this is a really cute and naive perspective.

Ask your grandparents. They will certainly claim _they_ were the last generation to experience true boredom as a kid. After all, those danged radios started to pop up around that time, much less black-and-white TVs.

Purity is enough, but purity is not useful. If java script was entirely pure it couldn't do any IO. You couldn't do anything with the string compare result because that requires IO to know what it is done, and that IO is not allowed.

Pure algorithms are a useful thing in programming. However pure algorithms are not useful on their own, you always need something impure to get the output out.
I read that as a separate thought. When he was younger he knew his neighbors and helped them freely. Now neighbors don't introduce themselves. I could be wrong.
Established networks dont give you enough ROI. Google and Facebook for example have slowly become more and more expensive to the point where if you aren't dedicated to optimizing and testing ads on their platform, you'll lose money.

The best way forward is to look at smaller networks. What new platforms are your target audience using that isn't quite "mass-market" yet.

In my experience I found content marketing to be better - although its not exactly plug and play yet like Adwords is. Maybe try advertising on blogs and other publications (maybe via Outbrain or something similar).

My argument is that it is hard to find an "objective" criterion on what is "interference with the peaceful enjoyment of others".
Tech has had many conscientious objectors, I've watched them come and go over the decades.

Most of them drive trucks now. A few lucky ones became artists or writers, but mostly a lot of bad outcomes.

One of these failed truck drivers even makes deliveries to the house of the person who forced him out sometimes, a fact which he loves laughing about.
I had the same issue. I have a rough idea (I think) of what Polar is trying to do -- but I'm not entirely sure. I'm also not sure how this would be "rebooting the internet", or what the overall benefit to the internet actually is. I may have missed it (that's likely), but I didn't see where that was explained.

It may be that the video explained it, but I'm not be in a situation where I can watch it right now.

EDIT: After reading the bulk of the other comments here, I am relieved that I'm not the only confused one. I thought I was just being stupid. I often am.
If the parent died and a will wasn't found, the estate is handled via "laws of intestate succession." When a person dies intestate, or without a will, the laws of the state where they resided determine how their estate is distributed. According to these laws, specific family members, or heirs, typically have a right to inherit a share of the decedent's property.

This guy spelled out a will that directly went against the way how the general laws of the land would have normally given his estate to his heirs.

I really connected to this story because he looks at domain names the same way I do, just not as effective of turning them over into working businesses. I picked up a bunch of domains like weknow.services, weknow.technology, ...systems because they were on sale, and so they just sat there...

At the start of the year, the idea of creating a forum for professionals kept clawing at me, but I couldn't think of a good domain name that wasn't taken. I wanted a .com but I looked at the ones I owned and just went with it weknow.services. A month ago Upwork announced they'd start charging freelancers for "Connects" to send proposals to clients. I started ramping up the campaign as many were asking "Where else can I look" and quickly replied to someone saying I'd been working on this thing, however I was banned from /r/freelance for even citing it.

I'm not banking on the fact that it'll work, but I sincerely hope it does, for my sake and others. It's something that would help me as a freelancer, and I have future plans if things pan out and users find it useful. If anything it's made me realize how hard marketing is.
Good to know. This is exciting—last time I looked into these sorts of things the selection was far more limited, and priced in the "enthusiast" range. Never got why they'd be so much more expensive than cheap grills or smokers—market hadn't caught up to demand, I guess. These are cheap & space-conscious enough to actually be non-crazy purchases for someone who just wants to make some good flatbread or pizza 1-2x a week. Super bonus points if I can also do some other crazy high-temp things (tandoori!) with it 1x/month or so. Now on my definitely-get-one-this-year list, thanks.
No, because the money would be going into the business of serving an entire nation of farmers with these services. The cost for each instance of doing the fundamental thing, having a farmer sell to consumers, would hopefully be low.

GitHub doesn't have the ability to choose what is legal. Or a better way to put it, the law does not follow GitHub's Terms of Use. You can violate them all day long and have no legal repercussions. The most important thing about people putting software in open report is that demonstrates their intention to make their software available to the public, which makes a big difference in a court of law.
Upvoted. TSM worked wonders for me. I’m now past 9 months of total abstinence after using TSM for about 8 months leading up to quitting.

The idea of counter-acting the dopamine rush one gets from drinking makes a world of sense. Alcohol is a fundamentally addictive substance and naltrexone can help loosen its hold on your brain.

Abstaining now is fairly trivial. I pretty much never have the impulse to drink.

I think a lot of folks see Sinclair method as somehow cheating or “having your cake and eating it too”. While that may be an alluring idea, the reality is you wind up just not wanting to drink. I now associate drinking with how naltrexone makes me feel, which is not the most fun experience.

The Persistence of Firefighting in Product Development [pdf]
yeah I guess this is probably individual, but I would argue it's definitely possible to define for yourself how "noisy" (or time-wasting) certain sources of information are (which doesn't mean they can't be entertaining).

I personally experienced this when I was literally going to 9gag tens if not hundreds of times per day. It was more of a habit or addiction than a conscious choice at that point
I completely disagree. Most of those statistics are either common knowledge or not really interesting enough to be front page HN.

At any rate, It looks like the post has been weighted down by one of the mods.
The Inbound Capacity Problem in the Lightning Network
This is a lovely idea, but completely incompatible with biology (like other utopian ideals). The evolutionarily stable outcome is for everybody to use all of their available time to compete with each other for access to resources. It doesn't matter if we could all subsist (even at what is, by all measures, a historically opulent level) on 4 hours/day of work. To start, some people will work more to get more. Eventually all people will work more just to get enough.

And that's just the logic of existing in an environment of abundance. The larger issue is that abundance doesn't last. Resources quickly become scarce because populations grow to the environment's carrying capacity.
Having done a lot of embedded work in both C and assembler, I'm really excited by the prospect of a type-safe, memory safe language with zero-cost abstractions that can compile down to [more or less] the same machine code that C would produce.

Just to play devils advocate: Hollywood and the games industry pump out a lot of shovelware. If there are millions or billions in profits available for making worthwhile IP of lasting value, they might fund riskier, more worthwhile 'art' projects (taking video games to be an art form in this context). It encourages thinking longer time horizons than 'opening weekend' or 'initial Xmas sales', even if just to have an opportunity to make a series of sequels.

That said, 100 years is a bit crazy. Nobody actually plans on that scale, and nobody's bonus depends on projected sales 87 years from today. I think 20-40 years would be equally effective in practice.
Whatever appropriate "fair use" is, I'm pretty sure it isn't build your brand around it, and if you license a composition for use in a regional radio ad in order to avoid royalty payments, it's not fair use to also use it for everything else, whether it's 3.5 seconds long or not.

> In both cases we're talking about a customer who has deliberately signed up and provided us with their contact and payment details. It just happens to be the same customer twice, but providing different details so we can't automatically determine that they're the same person.

Isn't a user required to enter their name and address information for you to be able to charge the card? Doesn't that have to match the card?

> I don't see how this is much different to when I buy my shopping from a grocery store and all I need to provide for payment is my card and PIN (and not even the PIN for most low-value transactions these days).

Your card provides name and address information. PIN provides "security" (for some definitions of security...).

> Or of course I can pay completely anonymously using cash.

If a user is somehow paying for services with cash online... doesn't that rather necessitate that they can't enroll in automatic billing? So, how does that have anything to do with the topic at hand: automatically billing against cards which are no longer valid.
I've long thought that tech needs like.. a guild or trade union, or a professional association of some kind. The problem though, is that it's so easy to get into, so there's no easy way to "police" ourselves, because tech has been democratized so well-- Anyone can do a code boot-camp and be up and running within weeks. Not that that's a bad thing, it just makes it harder to hold developers to a code of ethics or anything like that...

Maybe we just, as a society, need to adopt morality and ethics more deeply into our cultural DNA.

Paper boxes are also single-use and meant to be recycled, aren't they? This subthread is about how recycling is not enough and how we need to switch to reusable packaging.

Instead of paper boxes, it would be nice if it became the norm to go into stores with our own containers to put our food in instead of using store-provided, single-use packaging. It's ok if they're plastic as long as they're intended and made to be used and reused for years.

Is it Vect?
20 years ago Portland, Oregon used to chalk tires and had coin fed meters in downtown. And a fleet of go-cart driving officers for the rest of the city.

Around that time the city started moving to electronic meters in downtown that produced a printed ticket with a time that you were required to post on a street facing window. There was the usual city waste and political kickbacks iirc, at least one city employee got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Now the traffic enforcement officers have a handheld plate scanner, on each end of every block the parking enforcement signs have a QR-like code on the back that the officers first scan, then they go down the block scanning every car, then they scan the sign at the other end. This defines a complete audit trail of the officers movement with respect to every block and every car.

Using this technique, they not only scan for expired tickets, but can also issue citations for expired plates, previously unpaid tickets, warrants for outstanding criminals (in which they notify city police) and even summon a boot or tow truck.

I suspect that all cities that use chalk now will eventually move to some fully automated system like this. Perhaps not even ticket printing machines, just cameras looking down at all the cars, watching them (and you) come and go. Stay too long, and you get a ticket in the mail. Have a warrent on you an the police are there waiting when you return. The upshot for them? Besides the usual hands in cookie jars like in Portland, they won't have to pay all those traffic enforcement officers.

And even then, that's more or less just so you can claim unused trademarks. Just because you decidede not to act on one such infringement doesn't immediately revoke your trademark, especially if there is no financial gain for the infringing party.
While GP wanted to write it in rust, I think they just meant it's not as useful of a thing to write (in any language) now that this implementation exists.
One of my biggest problems with meal kits was the huge amount of plastic waste with each one. Blue Apron was an example of this with little bottles of ketchup.

Look, I have ketchup already in my house. The meal kits need a way for you to check off the general staples like that. OK send me fermented garlic, but I have ketchup and vinegar don't waste the plastic sending me those.

It makes me wonder if there is just a lot better way of doing cookbooks. I know that Isa Chandra already has sections of her books for "a well-stocked pantry" that just gets you stocked up on the items that will be used and reused throughout her books (e.g., liquid smoke or tamari). Expanding off that idea and refactoring meal kits I think could really work in everyone's favor. Perhaps at a point in the subscription, you could just get larger items sent to you once that the kit provider knows will be used over and over in subsequent recipes since they're the planner.
We have the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) but it's not promoted or advertised near enough in my opinion to people in the field.

I am glad you are happy. As someone who paid >$100k for a new car, of course you are going to get _free_ upgrades.

But, it is immoral to ship something thats barely level 2 and market it as an autopilot. Yes, they have made great strides, but tesla basically gambled that no one would crash.

This is the issue I have with our industry. That kind of slapdash "lets work 100 hour weeks and ship anyway, yes the target is impossible but a broken MVP is better than no MVP" is fine for a webapp. But for life critical software, no, no its not.

The article mentions a likely candidate for replacement: "parking enforcement officers could sidestep the constitutional issue altogether by simply taking a photo of the car rather than using chalk"
The use of terms like "ownership", "borrowing" etc with respect to object lifetime management long predate Rust. You may not like the way they are defined in this field, but it's a well-established definition. And it is not intended to have much to do with "bank lending practices", other than a very rough analogy that's easier to explain.

Canada has a professional software engineering organization, at least in some provinces. That said, they talk a lot about ethics but then award first place at a local engineering competition to a team that tracks people's position and movements without them knowing using their cell signals (for use in airports), so maybe it doesn't do any good. Great technical work by them mind you.
The difference is the let key word makes it obvious you’re rebinding the name.

Shadowing is one of those things that intuitively raises a red flag first time you see it but actually is extremely helpful. It dramatically reduces noise e.g. in functions where you take an input parameter and want to convert it to a different type to work with it. No more prefixing or suffixing the variable name, you just rebind it which makes the intent clear (at least to me).

My city about 10 years ago have a car that drives with a camera scans every plate and with a GPS location. You have to move your car about 2 feet and you are fine.

They also moved away from towing to a boot. If your on a boot for 48+ hours then they tow. $50 for the boot to be removed or $275 for the tow and $85 per day in parking.
It is by itself reasonable to mark tires, since doing so in no way damages the car and is less intrusive than other options law enforcement can constitutionally use (for instance, keeping a photographic record of every second your car was parked, which would not be a trespass, but would be far more intrusive).

But it's unconstitutional to do so, because the principle behind our laws say that law enforcement cannot (without a warrant or exigency) trespass on your property to accomplish its goals, whatever they may be.

The principle here seems sort of superfluous, but it's holding the line against any sort of trespass, some of which you'd probably find less reasonable, such as magnetically attaching a GPS transmitter to the bottom of your car.
I am honestly surprised that Dragon Fly is the last straw for people at Google. The company is the embodiment of surveillance capitalism. Why is there no talk about changing that model?
