My dream marketing campaign would be to work with teenagers around the country and encourage them to tag "Withfriends" everywhere, giving them free tickets to a concert every time they send over a proof of tag.

But we would never do that!

Instead, we don't have a marketing program running right now, but we do have a "Jeweling Program" here: https://withfriends.co/meet_the_team

If you're well connected with businesses that people really love in your community, we have a way to partner with you on bringing them on board Withfriends.

We share a lot with you and earn your trust on just how cool the memberships future is, and then in turn, you share this with iconic businesses that trust you in your community, and effectively they end up sharing it with their neighbors by using Withfriends, and we all help build resilence for small businesses in a widespread way. You get commission for basically connecting this idea with your community.

We haven't run this program much - but we plan to revive it. It's really important because it helps us touch more kinds of people outside of our organic signups. For example, it's how we first started working more in the Bronx, instead of just Brooklyn.

You can reach out to be a jeweler at team@withfriends.co for now. Just let us know your 3 top businesses and more about the commmunity that relies on them.
It may be me in the future. In fact, it's already happened to me before! I've been banned from a few forums and IRC channels in my day. The people there didn't like what I had to say. Am I angry? No. Because I've also run my own forums, and relied on the ability to ban and moderate comments in order to maintain a useful discussion.

But wait, Facebook isn't the same a forum, right? Well, it is, it's just bigger. Way bigger. The problem is how big it is. And how, in some countries, it's the only game in town (Facebook Basics).

It may seem like Facebook is overly moderated, but given it's size, it's really the opposite. It's a big free for all where hatred, deliberate misinformation, and calls to violence happen all the time. (Example: Myanmar). If you post that stuff on HN, it will quickly get taken down. But Facebook is slow to moderate anything, their moderation system is opaque, and thus hate speech is allowed to fester.

But not just fester. Facebook actually amplifies it. They see the engagement it gets and push it out to more people. So Facebook is not only negligent in their moderation, they are actively promoting toxic behavior. So long for Facebook being a "neutral platform."

Acting like the bans are the problem is the wrong idea. Moderation is important to any internet community, including this one. But when you get banned from a place, it shouldn't amount to not having a voice at all. Facebook is destroying the public square by maintaining a monopoly on internet communication. We should work to break them up, regulate them, or encourage people to leave the site.
This is my personal opinion, after seeing this teardown. If you look at some of the images it looks like the actual contact areas on the PCB that the metal domes contact on are rather small, and both the dome and the contacts look like they're made out of a hard material.

0) The top side sealing on these keyboards (at least some of them; one of mine had a hole somewhere) isn't that good. One method I used to fix these keys is to dab some rubbing alcohol or ethanol into the dome thing with a qtip, and somehow it finds its way under the dome. The purpose of the black tape mentioned in the article is likely to direct the light from the backlight of the keyboard, it's easy to damage with this method of cleaning it and it causes the backlight to look bad. Solution: electrical tape carefully cut to size.

1) I feel like the debouncing (filtering the tendency for hard-on-hard contacts to make intermittent contact) is inherently difficult with a design like this. There's a lot of things to go wrong here, and even on a brand new keyboard I noticed that before the system boots (on EFI password, or FileVault2 Unlock Prompt) the keyboard is MUCH more sensitive to key repeats - Probably because half of the debouncing is done in the driver.

Perhaps if they could find out how to add a thin enough slice of carbon-filled rubber (like the black pads under the rubber remote control buttons in a telly remote) under the domes, combined with larger contact pads, the softness would allow the contact to conform to the mating surfaces and make more reliable contact. Furthermore it will absorb some shock and reduce the tendency for the switch to 'bounce'.

Furthermore, carbon filled rubber doesn't tend to corrode.

2) Perhaps they could move to capacitive sensing and do away with actually making contact. This way, there would be less issues with contact bouncing, and no current actually has to flow.Then all the electrics would be completely sealed off. This has the drawback of needing a complicated keyboard controller. Last I remember the keyboard still had logic gates hardwired to do things like SMC reset so this would be harder.

2b) Or just take the key matrix sheets from the 2012-2015 MacBook Pros, which were pressure activated by way of rubber protrusions under the rubber domes, and put the new butterfly keys on top and use a tiny metal disk a la iPhone 4s power button to press on the actual key matrix

Another oddity I noticed on a machine I recently had the keyboard changed at the Apple Store on is that the right Shift key (which just got stuck again), is very close to the left side of the aluminum, more so than the right, and isn't centered. It happens that the key is most stuck on the left, so perhaps the accidental interference fit is causing it to stick.
Fascinating how the article avoids mention the common practice of non-medically necessary genital surgeries on boys. It get so close, talking about consent, classes and cultures. What is normal and "normalizing". How "parents who want these procedures for their children are doing so because of cultural norms and fear of ostracism".

But no, all we get is weird comparison between female circumcision and intersex surgery on girls (and boys?). Not even a mentioning of Iceland proposed law to make all non-medically necessary genital surgeries illegal until the age of consent regardless of gender and religion.
> It's funny that 15 years back I was so anti MS and pro Google and now I think it's the other way!

Or 15 years before that, pro-MS and anti-IBM. IBM is still huge, but they've found a steady revenue stream doing enterprise stuff, so they're not creating (much) fresh evil. MS could have made steady profits writing decent desktop software (I'm not so sure now). They're both powerful but comfortable. Google is huge, and still thinks it can rule the world.

Companies are a bit like religions. When they're small, they can't have much impact. When they're big and young, they can wreak havoc. If they make it to comfortable old age, they're peaceful and stable. The Catholic Church is huge, benign, and stable now, but 1000 years ago they were a bit more conquest-focused and violent, and 2000 years ago they were just a few harmless militants.
thank you dopeboy!

Then I stand corrected and I have some literature for the weekend!
It's not supposed to rhyme with Nix. Rather, it's a portmanteau of Guile and Nix. The pronunciation is indeed like the English word 'geeks'.
Milo Yiannopoulos getting the bully pulpit on TV and university stages, to say, as though it were a fait acompli, that trans people are sick is dangerous.

Paul Joseph Watson spewing misinformation about the extent of the refugee crisis is dangerous.
I'm not sure that people confused the two, it's just that the intrusive forms of advertising make up an overwhelmingly large part of a normal person's interactions with ads that we all just assume that that is what you're talking about.

I think we mostly appreciate the need for the so-called "getting the word out there", but it ought to be done in way that's appropriate. There's a balance to be made between the potential value of a product, and the amount of attention you're trying to steal. Most people think the products they make are more valuable than they really are.
Hyperbolic much? How can being "mediocre" be something bad? That's litterary litterary an ordinary programmer.
Freefile on irs.gov and the pdf of the 1040 instructions. Just because some software validates doesn't release you from the liability, so if you actually have a complicated situation, I'd find a qualified tax professional or read through the myriad IRS rules and regs.
The whole "getting into college" thing in the US sounds awful. I'm glad I did it elsewhere.
Farrakhan was banned for being a notorious anti-Semite; being black doesn't give you a free pass to incite hatred against Jews. This isn't a complex issue.

"There's nothing abnormal about you Ryan".

What a horrible thing to say to someone! That is equivalent to saying "You are not unique in any way Ryan".
I'm not super impressed by his stats, I had a better class rank and GPA and SAT and I was never elite school material but his extra-curriculars are pretty good. The problem being that most of these schools want an overarching theme in their application.
Agreed.

Unfortunately, it seems freedom of speech has become one of those things a disturbing number of people only seem to see the negative side of. In a certain sense, it's in the same quagmire as capitalism, IP laws, and to some extent privacy; easy to see the negatives and abuses in, but also something that helps or protects everyone else too.
Capitalism and activism are a bad fit. The SJWs who shape Google's policies towards the so called alt-right/far-right will eventually turn against the company.

The likes of Tommy Robinson and Alex Jones will eventually have the last laugh.
Google has generated tens of billions of dollars in profit (and a lot of money for Microsoft via licensing). iOS turned Apple into a trillion dollar company. Meanwhile it's not clear if Microsoft made anything from their Windows Phone investment.
>Every company in YC Winter 2019 issues half its ownership to a pool. Every company receives, in return, shares of the YCW19 fund. Employee stock options are 100% issued from the YCW19 fund.

And thus CDOs were invented...
One thing that I find very interesting in the comments is people's approach to Google services. It's no secret that Google makes money from ads and models based on the user usage on their free services.

A lot of people are complaining that if they disable data collection, try their hardest to not contribute to these data models and block the ads with ad blocker then some feature doesn't work for them. So you just want to use Google services completely for free without contributing anything.

Other people complain about permissions that Assistant or other products require. There's always a very good reason why these permissions are required that is not monetary. Each permission request goes through a lot of scrutiny, lawyers reviews, product reviews, approvals, etc. You can ask why disabling some permissions affects features that shouldn't need it. Sometimes it is lawyers fault, sometimes it's just engineers not supporting properly each of 2^{number of permissions} permission combinations.
I don't see how anyone can produce tax software, resolve bugs and issues, and keep it up to date with current tax code without charging money for it. It's too bad that paying taxes is this difficult.
The license of git (GPL2) might be an issue for a commercial product. libgit2 is also GPL.

(Also, IPC and fork+exec has overhead that mmap or thread in the same program does not.)
Thanks so much nyrulez!
So what if capitalism (and socialism) falls apart? Feudalism fell apart two centuries ago, and we're fine. It'll just be replaced by something that more accurately reflects available technology.
All this points to putting a stop to all this bullshit politically.

Border agents are overstepping their granted authority when inspecting the data contents of an information-storage device, so I'd argue that if you lie to them as they are doing it, they are no longer acting in their capacity as a federal agent. Probably not an argument that a federal judge would agree with, but I can have my own non-lawyerly opinions on it. As it is also my opinion that if you keep a law on the books making it illegal to lie to federal agents, you must also have a law on the books saying that it is illegal for any federal agent to retaliate against or administratively punish any person for failing to answer questions. So, as an ancestor post mentioned, when the likely effect of a non-answer is to draw additional attention, that's clearly unfair to the traveler and their right against self-incrimination.

All that is beyond the ken of the people actually interacting at the borders, so the only solution is to order their boss's boss's boss to write a memo, to pass down the chain of command, saying, "Stop doing this. It is not allowed."

As it is now, the executive will continue to do as it pleases, without regard to folks rationally debating legality on the internet, and neither the judiciary nor the legislature is likely to bother to check it. So the only reliable short-term solution is to not carry such devices across the border at all. When the cops are stupid and cruel, following the law is not a defense. Appeasing them is not a defense. Fighting them is not a defense. There is no defense wherever they can still operate under the guise of legitimate authority. As a traveler, you are completely powerless. And that is unfair, and not something I am willing to tolerate from the US feds. But they don't exactly pay much attention to me with respect to such things--it's okay to step on nobodies; only the people with money matter to them now.
I've had great experiences with FreeTaxUSA, though they still charge for state returns. I have wondered before now why a non-profit couldn't set up an entirely free site and ask for donations.
By dangerous they mean dangerous to advertisers. Facebook's decisions like this have nothing to do with harm to humans. It's to profit.
It's not a "no worries" situation if you just left one job for another only to find out the culture isn't a good fit.
Does this do validation?
Yeah, a part of me agrees because I did it and never intended to go to an elite school (I was never good enough!) but at the same time it's still a more constructive way of handling rejection than I did so I can't really complain.
That seems okay to me.
So they should ban all the people you want banned, because, you've got a better handle on what's "dangerous"?
>How many people do you think were interested in old school conspiracy theories like Area 51 [1] or the protocols of the elders of zion [2]? Henry ford printed half a million copies of the latter!

I think most of the people were interested in it for entertainment, just like people are interested in horoscopes for entertainment. Or would you argue that all these newspapers that had horoscopes in them pushed fringe conspiracy theories on the level of flat earth?

>They're dangerous in the same way that, say, anti-vax views are dangerous [3].

You have to show some evidence for a wild claim like that, because you're insinuating that Paul Joseph Watson and Milo are getting people killed.

>Where the "line" is and how we talk about it isn't clear, but I think there is a line somewhere and I feel pretty comfortable that the people Facebook banned are probably on the other side of it.

Until it inevitably comes back to bite you or something you like.
I agree about FizzBuzz.

But how often do interviewees showing up with gross clothes, swear, or be rude to interviewer?

I'd say almost 0?
Tried installing peazip just the other day and was surprised that it wasn't available via apt.

It's available via 'cnet downloads'. So... NOPE.
Nothing unhelpful about the comment. There are some excellent state schools: Georgia Tech, Penn State, UMass, Virginia Tech, just to name a few. The education is top-notch, the rest is indeed what you make of it.
Too little, too late. The average person is beginning to hate you as much as the tech savvy people, Google, and there's no one to blame but your greedy elitist self!
Embedding Lisp as a scripting language is a nice way to balance performance vs. expressive power from my experience.

I recently started working on something similar [0] in Go.

Why does it have to collapse? The failure of capitalism might be just a brief blip as we transition to the Next Big Thing.
It’s great that the site decides. It is exerting editorial control in this case. Hence, they should be liable for the speech that they do allow. Which means, they should be sueable if a user does slander on their platform, posts copyrightable material, etc.

Wait, locally discounted? Is that still how this works? Seriously, are cars still being sold where the price varies in those crazy ways? Because those things are sold for over $33,000 USD in Canada ($44,800 CAD). A quick check on car search shows dealers in Canada pricing the thing at $47,000 CAD ($35,000 USD)
> Could you point out which of these activities would be deemed 'quackery'? These all seem like fairly benign things, with backing from scientific studies or centuries of tribal knowledge being passed down.

You conveniently omitted the parts that aren't backed by science. It's not just a sauna, it's a "near infrared" sauna. Saunas aren't quackery but a near infrared Sauna is. It's also probably dangerous. The article also mentions his use of cryotherapy which isn't backed by any solid science and also conspicuously absent from your list.

Your last six comments are some version of this same question so I suspect you aren't asking because you're genuinely curious but rather because you dislike the conclusion others have reached.
It's [planned](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/615). The feature will only be present in the self-hosted compiler, not the "stage1" C++ compiler, which is what is currently shipped.

It'll be especially well suited for this kind of thing because the self-hosted compiler is a long running process that watches files for changes and rebuilds incrementally. [1 minute demo of early progress](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Pm29crq6Q).
How do you predict whether a biotech company will pass phase 2 or 3 trials?
> Both cases are false, but personally I cannot fault the people from assuming such based on how often it appears those assumptions are true

The problem is that regardless of I'd those assumptions are true, those assumptions can stop you from listening to and understanding the actual arguments and beliefs.

Additionally, if left unchallenged, those assumptions can stop at a superficial understanding of the issues that face the person holding the position.

If you assume that the person arguing for the forgiveness of student loans simply wants to save money, you might miss that the real impact is the way that mandatory student loan payments prevent that person from quitting their job and following their dreams or boot strapping a business. That information is critical to find solutions or compromises.
I'm stuck at 1 fps. just me?
Any examples of Milo making a racist remark? Afaik his criticism is mainly towards certain cultures. Not races.
thank you craze3. We are super excited too. I like that comparison because the major thing we are all discovering together is that we really care about creators (Patreon) or organizers (Withfriends) that we love, and all we needed was to make it easier to get behind them. The member benefits make it feel good, but I believe the desire to become a member comes out of something more essential to who we are.
This is specious. It's pretty clear that if Ivy+ acceptance didn't mean anything nobody would go. There is a genuine bar here that admits pass that non-admits don't. As a non-admit, I realize this more and more every day after graduating from a non-selective college.

Full disclosure, I did get into two schools in the fall which I am excited to attend.

How does that work?
The whole lead in was specific about complete failure.
1. Each package in Nixpkgs repo has assigned maintainer mentioned in source.
2. Nothing prevents you from using your own repo/hosting solution for Nix channel.
3. Writing or overwriting packages in Nix is dumb easy, so I do not see a problem here as well.

I started using Nix exclusively on macOS and I couldn't be happier. The best part IMHO is the fact that I can easily test different packages without permanently changing my system and dealing with clutter left by these.

So in general, this is less of the problem that you think it is, especially as you clone that repo locally, so you do not hit GH/Savannah on each installation.
UFOs are real.
Exactly this. Nuclear power using pressure vessels is simply too dangerous.
All they wanted to know was could I do anything for them that would make them more money than it cost to hire me.

To this I would add "without a lot of drama or other management overhead."
Generally it isn't illegal under any system based on common law. A necessary component a crime is mens rea, which is the intention or knowledge of the wrongful act. The act alone, even if it is illegal doesn't constitute a crime.

By this principle it's not a crime for a delvery man to be in posession of contraband that he has no knowledge of. This isn't to be confused with not knowing something is illegal. That's no defense. It's about knowing or not knowing the consequences of your action.

That said there are lesser offences, misdemenors or summary offences, where mens rea is not required. They usually have fines
but also can have limited jail time. For example, you can be punished for speeding and whether you knew you were doing it or not is irrelevent.

What's unclear in this case is whether the developer knew or ought to have known there were secrets in the code, or that his push was to a public place. It's also unclear, at least to me, whether Chinese law requires mens rea.
For most companies it's the first 90 days.

> company/tech/what-have-you 'culture' which, imo, is simply a euphemism for ageism, in-group bias, prejudice, hubris, and one-upmanship more often than not.

In my experience working with a couple of wildly different companies who prided themselves on "culture", it's largely just "don't be a dick".

It's still important though.
