Interesting point about Erlang! Where can I find more info on that specific aspect?
> You don't know who is online or whether you can contact them.

I've actually had this problem with most, if not all, IM/chat systems I've had to use for serious work. They have better UX design for indicating availability, but I can't think of one where it's consistently worked the way I expect it to. Some explicitly allow people to fake/hardcode their status; others have some mixture of caching/update issues and strange criteria for deciding whether a user is "active" or "present" such that the indicator isn't very reliable in practice.
> I find it pretentious that anybody could consider the following features "having fun while pretending to communicate"

straw-man argument. Nobody considers these things to be frivolous. I would consider slack's annoying gifs and discord's extensive emoji to be frivolous.

> the ability to modify one's own messages

Please, no. People editing their own messages later on is possibly the most annoying thing about slack and discord. Say something and move on, or append a message if you made a mistake.

> the ability for all participants in the community to see messages in the same format, including code blocks with syntax highlighting, images, video links, and web embeds

no thanks. what if I want to disable images, video links, and especially web embeds?

all -I- want from a client is a superset of markdown, like gfm, and code highlighting for most languages. and the ability to add syntax highlighting for other languages really easily.

all that IRC really needs is a few quality of life fixes like the history you mentioned. "collections of text channels" already exist... that's how IRC works. there's no reason for every single community to repeat similar sub channels.

> everything just working

I don't think I've ever had an issue with a web client not working.
Yes I also don’t want any feature inside hacker news but i check hacker news few times a day and some days I don’t.

What I planning now is some kinda trigger like google alerts. It should be so simple and can able to send notifications to my mobile or twitter dm or anywhere.

I want to track some one mentioned my name on hacker news or wanted to track Website mentioned and the list goes on.

I know similar service already available hacker news watcher and ifttt... So I wanted to make something different this time but not sure what that is ha ha. I will do some research if I get free time.

Thanks for your support

There is a paywall.

But, If the town actually tried to ban gossip, it's essentially a ban on the freedom of speech.

I'm not sure how that would be enforced anyway. You aren't allowed to talk about anything besides yourself?
As a fan of the show, I don't want to see him go. As a gay man, I'm furious that genuine hate crimes might be taken less seriously because of this self-serving hoax.

It's disappointing that the rest of the cast thinks that their show is bigger than taking hatred seriously.
I tried out Voat when it was new. It's a truly creepy place.
I think the truth of the quoted statement hinges on the value of "mainstream". Yes, I've read articles that say the death of Toys R Us, et al. was due to a variety of factors including financial manipulations, but certainly a lot of articles and TV news went with the "Well, Amazon killed another store" simplification.
I hear it’s because of what the mayor did.
Sometimes I feel like creating a chrome plugin that hides pay wall sites in hn.

UEFI boot: how does that work, then?
I'm aware of how supply and demand works but have you ever stopped and asked why they do so well in poor areas?
Gossip, the lowest form of human interaction and yet most find it a reasonable way to get by in life. It's not laws that have to fix this, but people themselves have to figure out the value of self-respect.
I don't support this specific law, since "gossip" is a nebulous term. That said, the idea is pretty intriguing. I suspect that society would be far better off if the deliberate authoring and spread of misinformation, were made illegal. There would have to be a stupidity-waiver; anyone dumb enough to actually believe in something like Flat-Earth should be allowed to espouse it all they want. But anyone who willfully lies about witnessing things that never happened, or claims possession of evidence that they do not actually possess, should face charges for the deliberate spread of misinformation.
If people aren't using search, then message history retention isn't that important for you it seems. I would suggest that maybe your people are using email in situations where they'd like more permanence.

This is common, and Slack is treated more like a hallway conversation. Hallway conversations are enormously valuable, but if you want a record of something or if you want to make sure it reaches everyone, you use email instead.
1. I think Apple did notice, the problem just didn't use to be that big. A few years ago you had way less people talking about it and wanting such solutions. WHen they became too popular, they went up Apple's priority list and the solution was created. As I've explained a few times, until Apple had the resources to dedicate to screen time, they allowed the less safe solutions using mdm.
2. I've been wanting to avoid the subject of whether parental controls should be used alltogether, but, since you brought it up, I have to comment. I've met people for whom parental controls made life hell. They weren't used to protect them, they were used to enforce parents' religious and political views on a teenager who was able to think on their own. She basically wasn't able to make friends locally b/c disability, and they monitored all her online communications, even with people they knew personally, all thanks to parental controls. Back when she had Windows, someone could always hack her out, well, with Apple, it's not that easy.

Lots of things are defamation that aren't even illegal. Telling people you did that one bad thing in high school is legally defamatory, but it's not actionable unless it's false. "Provably false statements of fact," also known as "making shit up," is where people get in trouble, and where court cases start to get easy.

I imagine Elon will be spinning hard to settle this...eventually. Not before his ego is suppressed, though, and that might get noisy. He's like Trump that way: nobody can tell him anything, he's Mr. Awesome. With any justice, the plaintiff won't entertain any settlement talks and go for the jury verdict.

At least for me, I participate in a lot of programming channels. I've saved a lot of stuff for later, that would otherwise be a pain to ask someone to answer it again. I log basically all of my irc chats because

1. storage is cheap
2. you never know when something could be useful later

Let's not pretend individual nerds in IRC chat recording history is anything remotely close to what google is doing.
It's a reference to a passage in the post, so I wouldn't assume they had any malicious intent.

This is a good watershed moment for FOSS as a whole and I hope Mozilla decide to fork Mattermost or something similar and expand it to suit their needs over using Slack if that's the direction they head.

Something federated and encrypted like Matrix/Riot would be fun. Having something that's federated would be lovely to see other members of the FOSS community start to come together over time.

but there is a lot of problems with those rich text/react/Electron thick apps can be "painful" tho
Normally money is fungible and we trust the money, not the people. Pirates want gold because the gold will be accepted even if they won't be trusted.

This seems like an impossible obstacle -- every buyer and seller must have a connection (of trust), and the connection must have enough credit! Is the hotel manager in Shanghai going to have a connection to every customer? Is the local restaurant going to have thousand of trust connections so a relay can be found?

The other issue is the zero sum of credits and debits. How can money be added or removed from the system if "the total amount of credits in the system always remains 0"? How can you convert $100 USD to credits, spend the credits and someone else can get the $100? Does any money put into the system also need to removed at the same time? How would that work?
My guess is their auth system is/was under a ton of load.

Specifically to make the password database more secure, the generation of password hashes is very computationally intensive by design (e.g. that's the whole point of something like bcrypt vs. sha1)

Password systems really shouldn't be designed to handle a 10x or 100x load without some slowdown. If they could handle that, it means their password DB probably isn't as hardened as it should be.
Regardless of whether it’s done well, it needs to be done to direct government funding towards these things. That’s how science works these days.
By creating competition.

And that can be done easily. The reason it's impossible to compete against Facebook is because of the network effect. Kill the network effect. If you have a site with more than let's say 100 million active users you are required to license free user generated content (such as posts) under a copy-left license, unless the user opts in to a restrictive license on a per content piece. All content, opt in or out out, must regardless be treated the same by the site - no incentivizing people into opting in by effectively punishing those that don't.

And furthermore require that the site provides both an API for accessing all published content, as well as remotely publishing by users. You've now not only 'punished' facebook, but really fixed a huge chunk of the entire tech industry's problems by killing the network effect. Now competitors can create their own alternatives that users from e.g. Facebook can use and even keep and interact with all of their friends on. With no network effect, it's now simply a competition to see who can provide the best user experience.

‘Digital privacy does not exist’: A Q&A on data privacy around the world
Dont get me wrong. I'd rather be MiTM by some letter soup agency or one of their contractors than some dodgy hotel owner in Kowloon. But for every day use on your own private connection, I don't see the need for an VPN service (unless you want to circumvent region restrictions)
Fuck man. This stuff doesn't belong on a tech site like this.

In the article, the author describes the people she works with in this exact context.

IRC is rarely used compared to Slack, with its 10 million users.

I used it daily for decades, but let's not forget netsplits, nick collisions, zero log history (without a bouncer, and then you need a place to run a bouncer!), no file-sharing in a NAT world (dcc stopped working a loooong time ago), and no integration with any other apps, and on and on.

Don't get me wrong, I wish there was an open-source project that built a big group chat system that worked as well as slack and discord do, but it's a joke to say that irc is better than slack.
I dont think Facebook is merely a scapegoat. In the sense that the very existence of Facebook is threatening to the establishment. More than any other company in US, Facebook has (or used to have considering the declining active users) a direct connection to every citizen in the country through their timeline. If Zuckerberg was so inclined he could have had a very strong effect on the outcome of elections. No other corporation comes close. The closest in this regard are the big media houses (CNN, Fox etc.) who do wield influence but are regulated and have to compete with each other. Neither of these limitations exist for FB as of now. Think how the government would have acted if all the media houses merged into a single company under a slightly misanthropic CEO who hints at political aspirations.

Secondly, FB might amplify our flaws but this is a structural issue contingent on the very design of the newsfeed algorithm. Instead of blaming ourselves and embarking on a nationwide self improvement campaign we can think about minor design changes that could perhaps alleviate these effects.
Back in 2014, this article inspired me to write an iOS app.

I took a few weekends putting most of my efforts into formatting and readability. Just when I was ready to release, I got really busy at work.

Weeks became months, and months became years. By the time I got back to it last year, Xcode wouldn't compile it anymore.

To my dismay, I also discovered that a number of other apps had been launched. After fretting a bit, I realized that most of the competition had done a poor job parsing the raw data and formatting the text.

So I released it anyway. Feel free to give it a try and let me know what you think: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id1397172520

Discord has aggressive security measures. I can't use it, because it won't let me access it from my desktop unless I give it a phone number. I guess it's decided I look like a headless browser or something.

Certainly I'd say discord is a poor fit for an organization allegedly dedicated to web freedoms, such as mozilla.

I'd suggest rocketchat or mattermost, personally. Well, to be honest I'd suggest IRC, but if that must be abandoned, rocketchat is pretty good.
Seeing that the context menu that comes up has about 20 items, I can't personally agree.

Overall I hate using Discord and wish it was more like Slack in some ways. Better yet, take me back to the days of TeamSpeak when my Voice Chats had a Text Chat implicitly alongside it.
How do you define what is threshold of reasonable chat on other people? How much proof do you need? Do you allow more leeway for public persons? Or do you want people to stop talking about other people altogether?
Where are you finding these magical cabbies that know the city better than GPS? My p99 experience is the opposite (Except in London where they have The Knowledge

"At first, this was a surprise, as in my native UK I can literally give a street name within 50 miles of where I am, and the driver cocks their head for a second, gears whir, and yes! They know it!"

I'm not sure where in the UK you are, but if you pick a street at random (i.e. give all streets within 50 miles equal weight, and pick a name out of the hat), it's far from guaranteed that a taxi driver would know where it is, and how to get there.

- <30 square miles: The area within 6 miles of Charing Cross, within which London taxi drivers must know every single street.

- ~606 square miles: The area of Greater London, within which London taxi drivers must know the main roads.

- ~7800 square miles: The area "within 50 miles of where I am"
I have another thread I commented on where I discuss Discord very briefly. Most times I used Discord I'm hella annoyed, Slack just has me slightly frustrated sometimes. To each their own, but the Discord UX doesn't do it for me.

That said, watching them migrate voice servers seamlessly between regions is fucking impressive, though. Kudos to them on that.

It's because Google's constraint is number of engineer-attention-hours. This kind of thing probably just isn't a priority, when they have a billion other things they could work on.

Keep in mind that Google is not a product company, they are a data company. They work on the biggest most impactful items, and don't have a lot of time for one-offs.

Finally, it might not be clear at all that these sites should be removed from the index.

Facebook is a strange beast when it comes to privacy. According to themselves, they have what amounts to hidden profiles for people who aren't part of Facebook. In other words, they track you and try to learn about you, even if you actively avoid them.

So you can "not use Facebook", but you can't not BE used by Facebook. Which means you also can't dismiss them as a choice. They are imposing themselves on you, whether you like them or not.

I don’t mean to sound entirely too rude, but I want to ask the following hypothetical question. You are working at a research lab at a research university. You need to hire someone who is going to help you do research on new techniques for interpretable machine learning. Do you hire

1. Someone with extensive knowledge of machine learning, and a much smaller (but existent) interest in the societal importance of interpretability

Or

2. A policy guy who knows tons about why these things should be interpretable, but has a very limited knowledge of machine learning?

Now, let’s say the position is policy relating to machine learning. Do you hire

1. The guy with extensive knowledge of policy who knows something of machine learning

Or

2. The guy with extensive knowledge of ML who knows a bit of policy?
