>And then everything ends up like the 'defaults', with memes and easy to vote up pictures utterly dominating.

I mod a good-sized sub all by myself, and I'm fairly militant about what gets through. The guidelines are clear and automod picks up a lot of the 'defaults' stuff -- but every so often something slips through and it gets so much karma.

A while ago I figured I'd just allow memes and stuff, assuming that this was what the community wanted, since these occasional posts were doing so well. I got mod mail asking if I was sick, noticed a bunch of comments saying 'this sub has gone to shit!' etc etc.

... so I went back to my militant ways, but about once every few weeks I let a meme or repost slip through if its decent quality.

Memes and all that have their place, but subs need to be heavily curated by the mods, or, like you said, they all become the same.
Accidents happen, sure. Education, availability, and consistent use of contraception is nowhere near where it should be (and even where it is, it's not foolproof). And when contraception fails, access to abortion can be difficult depending on local regulation, and many people have an aversion to that option for various reasons. But none of that changes the fact that having a child is indeed optional.
"What dismays me about technology is this: not the machine itself but the way its architecture echoes outward, imposing a grid of quantification on everything it touches. The sadness of numbers interferes with our thoughts, begs us to apply logic to warm, messy things. What becomes of the ambiguity of feeling? That which can’t be immediately identified is derided, denied, and eventually erased." Amen.
They did exactly that. They added the feature.

Exercise is often pushed as a treatment for depression on HN, but the evidence is surprisingly weak. Many of the studies aren't very good; most of the studies have inclusion criteria that exclude people with major depression or people who've had in-patient treatment. This means that the studies have included a bunch of people who had sponteneous remission, or who would have recovered no matter what intervention you gave them.

This study only looked at people who were recruited from inpatient or outpatient MH services; it excluded people who had other long term physical problems; and it found similar effects for solo or group exercise, and for exercise that used or didn't use equipment.
Don't they both take a 30% cut?
Matrix and Riot is good open source replacements for IRC.
With Matrix and Riot you get a modern interface yet can bridge out to IRC open source networks and channels!

Here is links to Matrix and Riot.
https://matrix.org/blog/index

Please support open source projects! The Internet was built on open standards.
The blog post says "We are evaluating products, not protocols".

There are no XMPP frontends that can compete with the "shininess" of the modern, proprietary systems like Slack so that's out already.

As for Matrix/Riot ... maybe, but I don't think it's likely that they'll go with that.

At first glance, this looks like an excellent textbook.

Personally, my favourite theorem in classical mechanics is the so called 'tennis racket theorem', sometimes known as the 'intermediate axis theorem'.

It explains why objects with roughly three different moments of intertia have unstable rotation about their intermediate moment.

It can be easily demonstrated with a tennis racket, or even most smartphones (be careful not to break it though).

That's exactly what Apple is doing - in this case protecting their ecosystem from providers that use undocumented APIs and MDMs whose business model is fingerprinting customers and selling to advertisers.

What exactly do people expect of Apple here? Apple gets criticized if it doesn't take a hard line on customer privacy, but when it does exactly that it is abusing monopoly power and needs to be regulated and broken up.

If people want third party app stores that's fine, but let's be very clear about what that means. It is going to come with compromises in terms of crappy UX, dark patterns, privacy violations, private APIs and all sorts of stuff that users pretty much hate.
I clicked because I am interested in backpacks having seen someone hitch with like 8 possesions and no money from singapore to india just a month a go. As I was reading this article at first, It was choppy at the beginning... switching back and forth seemi ngly, I sort of felt I had to adjust my focus and re-read a few times to understand... this to me is a sign... a sign of a new way of thinking or terrible writing. I had an intuition this could be a good piece. I was not disappointed.

Gotta give it some attention, this is lit/literature. Reading that communicates a novel way of thinking requires attention. Then when that thinking is commonplace later, it may become "more readable". Consider what it felt like to read more adult literature in high school.
The last time I was reading on this topic, around 10% of kids are actually unwanted -- that is, one or both parents did not want to ever have kids, or did not want to have more kids. Most kids are planned to some degree. For the remainder that aren't, the couple does want to have kids at some point, but they didn't plan to have kids at that particular time.

Regardless, children are optional, full stop. There are certainly reasons why people who don't plan to have kids end up having them anyway, but that doesn't change the fact that it's an optional activity.

This is not a decent response to a thoughtful comment - or more importantly, it's the kind of response people make when they have nothing constructive to add but can't bring themselves to be gracious.

Reputable scientists – most notably Roger Penrose and his colleague Stuart Hammeroff [1] – dispute the notion that human-like consciousness can be developed in computers.

People can and will continue to debate and research this, and in the meantime it's pointless for non-experts like me to spend any amount of time arguing about it.

But it's valid for your parent commenter to point out that your position relies on assumptions rather than being proven fact.

They were respectful enough to take time to explain their point of view in great depth. More of that and less of the rude responses is what we like on HN.

> Social scalability is the ability of an institution –- a relationship or shared endeavor, in which multiple people repeatedly participate, and featuring customs, rules, or other features which constrain or motivate participants’ behaviors -- to overcome shortcomings in human minds and in the motivating or constraining aspects of said institution that limit who or how many can successfully participate. Social scalability is about the ways and extents to which participants can think about and respond to institutions and fellow participants as the variety and numbers of participants in those institutions or relationships grow. It's about human limitations, not about technological limitations or physical resource constraints.

Another article I saw about this mentioned that while the CEO stated she had “no knowledge whatsoever,” of the search, but a person familiar with the matter told CNBC that some employees were told to stay home from work on Friday. The person, who asked not to be named because the matter is confidential, also said that the FBI broke down the door of the company’s offices and requested access to employees’ computers.

there are non invasive devices are you aware of that?
Ha! I did something like that for a company, in this case. Their core app was slow and not scaling and they were failing SLAs, I was doing sysadmin work then and not on the dev team then but I dove into the code base, found the bug fixed it, increased speed by 3000%. They had tons of DB clients inserting one row at a time to the DB. Batched them. Company went nuts everyone was happy since this has been hunting the business for months, VP came into the office and gave me a high five. CEO sent me a thanks email. Then economy shrank and pay raise was frozen. I got $0 after performance review which was excellent a few months later. My boss at that time dipped into his pocket and gave me a $100 gift card to Best Buy. I bought a VCR, VCR then was $120. :-D
So, let's get the facts straight here:

1. The apps used MDM profiles, intedned for control of employee's smartphones and/or vpns to filter access to apps.

2. Those approaches gave the app makers enormous control over the devices. If they used vpns, all internet traffic from the device could be intercepted. If they used MDM profiles, they had deep access to all the device's settings. It was a huge privacy risk.

3. This was clearly against Apple's policies. APIs were used for the purpose they were not intended for. That was what Facebooks's certificates were revoked for. They should've feared removal since the day they wrote their first line of code.

4. I guess that Apple understood the need for parental control apps and allowed them, with the privacy risks, as there was no other way to get parental control at the time.

5. Apple knew how important iPhone addiction has become and developed their own, privacy respecting solution, screen Time.

6. The need for parental control has now been filled and the privacy risks of those apps now outweigh the benefits. Apple made the decision to remove.

7. Apple, in general, doesn't allow other apps to access such information on your device, for privacy and security reasons. It's a bit anti competitive, yes, it limits what app makers can do, but it makes iOs secure. There's no other way to do it, and that's what many people don't understand. Apple's philosophy sacrifices some features you might have for your own security. If you're not fine with it, use Android and sideload, but don't run screaming to the police when it suddenly turns out that the online banking app you've just installed was a very good fake. [1].

But then, how can a simple heuristic like "hey, this guy has sent and received messages from this non-google address before, we should most definitely not drop incoming mail from there" not be in place? I gmail is pretty much the only google service I still use. In pretty much all regards, google has repeatedly disappointed me over the last couple years. A couple months ago, gmail suddenly started dropping incoming mails from a mailing list I've been subscribed to for 8(!!!) years, three times so far. Exactly like in the linked blog post here.

To sum it up: sorry, but what you're saying here doesn't sound like it's true, and if it is let me tell you that you're failing at it, miserably. The only reason I didn't move away from gmail is that it's just a lot of work. But the time will come, eventually.
But still, who would buy that $10-$20 device? If it doesn't replicate their Facebook/Instagram/whatever experience, and they don't know how to get their friends on it (the majority of whom probably aren't too privacy-conscious), it's just a paperweight

> while IRC was always available but rarely used.

Freenode has about 85,000 people logged in right now and there's over 50,000 channels.

I'm in a bunch of tech related channels and there's hundreds (or 1,000+) people in most of them. It's still active and has been for 15+ years. Freenode is just 1 IRC network of many too but it's where a lot of tech channels are set up.

IRC is awesome. You can use it from a terminal (or get a GUI client that uses < 20MB of RAM), it opens instantly, you can connect to a bunch of channels and networks automatically (with password protection on your nick), typing feels instant and you get infinite log history. Doesn't get much better in my opinion.
Part of my issue with Mozilla IRC is that it is not sufficiently similar to Freenode.
Oh, this is really nice! Did you use a process to have everybody agree on it? I usually struggle with top-down where some people disagree and work against it vs. bottom-up where consensus is really hard and nothing is done/decided.

successful fighters are typically intelligent, defensive minded and gifted physically. power is ephemeral, speed is youth, endurance is training and experience is efficient repetition. what typically links these things together is a deep desire to win at all costs, which is why this and many other sports have their history with drugs, cheating and corruption. features universal to human activities. in competitive environments, advantages accrue from early age adoption. the pressure of intense competition if properly nurtured can be a guide towards incredible feats.

in fighting it is often the case that the best fighters are dirty, meaning they bend and use the rules in a more efficient way than their opponents, and at the world class level most things being equal, this temporary advantage provides them the situations which lead to victory, this is an open-secret in fighting which is largely unaddressed due to romantic notions and fraternities refusing to divulge uncomfortable self-referential truths.

given the contrasting regimes of education between east and west i am observing whether the Chinese system can produce (or select for) the geniuses the Soviets did in mathematics and physics and sustain itself for another century to avoid squandering them. there is a long history in China of promotion from all social classes through intense and rigorous examination, and their sample pool of hundreds of millions of children should provide sufficient cause for concern to anyone who wishes technocratic communism to reach an ignoble end.

China turning into a 1.4 billion person South Korea would destroy any plausible argument for democracy as meritocracy would sweep the world domino nations. a lot of ideologies die on the altar of pragmatic efficiency, and the 21st century is the latest real test for 18th century idealism. boxing and democracy, romantic ideas soon to be retired for safety concerns. the issue here might not even be about the pedantics of birth or education, with international capital flowing east and the largest growth markets for profit seeking business being Asia and Africa it's hard to see how the Chinese model isn't a roadmap for all of Eurasia and Africa to follow. freedom doesn't feed you, and if forced to choose between a bureaucracy that works and one that doesn't the choice makes itself.

We've had this for years already, more or less. It's called Diaspora, and it hasn't succeeded in pulling the masses away from Facebook.

You can get network effects through any kind of network, but you still need to get your friends on that network in order to build those effects. I just don't see this sort of thing being successful at that.

There are certainly more people angry about what FB has been doing with their data there was a couple years ago, but the majority of them seem to still continue posting on FB, because that's where all their friends are.

What a ridiculous comment. ETH has already scaled better than bitcoin, and ETH has never had a 51% attack. It is insanely biased to say things like "when ethereum failed to scale" when BTC had crazy $50-$100 fees for transfers and its block size is paralyzed by a group of hostile devs.
I find the fastest way to introduce bugs into programs is to compile programs differently in development than in production. It also warps developer's perspectives of how their program performs. As they say at NASA, "Test what you fly, fly what you test."

That said, you can do this easily enough in Go. Define a package:

package debug

const Debug = true

func Assert(cond bool, msg string) {
if Debug && cond {
panic(msg)
}
}

Have your build system generate the file that contains Debug = true. In optimization mode, make it Debug = false. As it is const, the compiler will propagate it, Assert will be inlined and the dead code removed. If you don't like relying on the compiler, have your code generator generate empty Assert functions. If you are working in a very bad code base that catches all panics, you'll need an extra 5 lines of code in the implementation of Assert, and your stack traces won't be pretty. (Roughly: put the condition check in a goroutine, block the Assert call on a channel signal from that goroutine.) I'd recommend the first project be to remove those panic catch-alls.

But really, all of this is only appropriate when you are far out in the weeds. Ship your program with those asserts. If they are too slow for production they are too slow for development.

this is what IRC ... does. The xmpp standard and ecosystem of clients/servers has also provided this for a decade plus.
