Some people don't believe vaccines work and cause autism. Some people believe the earth is flat. Some people seriously believe we are ruled by lizard people.

Is it valid?

At some point we have to determine what is a minimum acceptable level of cohesiveness in though to take someone seriously.

I'm not saying anti-privacy people are in such extreme, but I don't like the 'everything a valid position in the post-modern relativist world'. The line has to be drawn somewhere, and some people might draw it further in or further out. But we all do it.
The parent referred to "Chinese commenters" (and "ward off" was bad enough), but your comment seems to imply that they're all "CCP astroturfers". That's against the site guidelines. Would you mind reviewing them? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Obviously there are real issues to be discussed here, but to do so well means we have to get good at not doing things that kill real discussion, and denigrating large groups en masse is one.
Since netflix knows they will always be encoding, why would they pay for cloud provider overhead at all? It would seem to be far cheaper to have a dedicated fleet.
it doesn't matter. just about every media is like that. many are much worse.
Microsoft started pushing MS IE 8 at that time, too. And you could see that modest MS IE 7 drop before "watershed moment" mirrors MS IE 8 jump.

But MS IE 6 was significantly more entrenched: I have seen plenty of MS IE 6 - only sites and internal tools, but never MS IE 7 - only ones. They existed, probably, but were obviously were rare.
A method of hash visualization based on Conway’s Game of Life that creates beautiful icons that are deterministic, yet distinct and unique given the input data.

The basic concept is to take a SHA256 hash of the input data (which can be any data including another hash) and then use the 256-bit digest as a 16x16 pixel "seed" for running the cellular automata known as Conway’s Game of Life.

After the pattern becomes stable (or begins repeating) the resulting history is used to compile a grayscale image of all the states from the first to last generation. Using Game of Life provides visual structure to the resulting image, even though it was seeded with entropy.

Some bits of the initial hash are then used to deterministically apply symmetry and color to the icon to add beauty and quick recognizability.
The same thing happened with live journal. Executives massively over-react to the terror of possibly hosting child pornography, and therefore decided all pornography - or even anything mildly erotic - had to be ejected. And, like what happened with live journal, the site never recovered.

As a sex positive liberal, I admit a certain level of schadenfreude at seeing tumblr's decision bite them in the butt. Using child porn as a pretext to justify a puritanical purge of all erotic content is absolutely obnoxious IMO.

Measured in money and man-hours, car companies actually spend mind-boggling amounts on software. They largely just haven't figured out yet how to do it right. They also think that they are special as in better when they are much, much worse at software than other industries.

Show HN: NLP Mueller Report Summary
> Ask your friend who can read Chinese what the head line says. If the author was honest, she should explicitly stated that "detained" or "arrested" is from other source but not from the image.

Headline from the image in the article: "Whoever establishes a group is responsible [for it]" "Whoever manages [a group] is responsible [for it]" "New rules established for national internet messages, after this the responsibility of group masters will be big[ger]"

Headline from the image in an article prominently linked from this one: "[If] members break the law, the group master will be 追责ed [pursued and interrogated? punished? arrested?]"

Headline from the other Chinese article linked from this one: "Whoever establishes a group is responsible for it! Many group masters have been detained, everyone who has a group [should] read [this]"

> No body notice the date of the newspaper is missing. If I say this is quite old news , would anybody be surprised? Is the missing date accidental?

This looks like a fair complaint, actually. The pictures are clear that this was announced in 2017, with the new rules to take effect October 8th 2017. Coverage in April 2019 seems to have missed the boat a bit. On the other hand, according to this piece, the state has chosen to re-emphasize the message now. ("“Did you all think being a group host is free and easy? Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!”, official state newspaper Xinhua posted on Weibo on April 26.")
I don't believe most US eggs are pasteurized; it will be clearly noted, and the texture upon opening will be different, if they are. My understanding is such eggs are somewhat safer for use in recipes requiring "raw" eggs, but there's still some risk.

(The specific US-style washing-then-refrigeration in this article is just one way of minimizing shell-to-inside contamination that's distinct from pasteurization.)
how do you know he questioned sandy hook deliberately? he questions a lot. and he has the right. we have the right to question. and we have the right to be wrong. you sound like a dictator - "he doesn't deserve a second chance!". he's his own boss, you're not his.
Facebook redesigns its web and mobile apps
It's alarming. I feel like the common sentiment on censorship, and many other issues, among my in-group has shifted under my feet. We have existing laws against harassment and terroristic threats, and in the case of Alex Jones it seems to me that those legal avenues are being pursued properly, so de-platforming serves only to create a dangerous precedent. As an anti-war leftist, I know that my group is next on the chopping block if it's not there already.

Yes these are private platforms, but that line of reasoning ignores the extent of the coordination between governments and these corporations. Do any of you Americans ever think how this kind of precedent will play out in smaller countries, where Facebook blindly does the bidding of corrupt governments? The internet and social media networks are the telephone and mail systems of the 21st century. At least until it is more feasible to have an online presence without going through multiple corporations as intermediaries, I think we need to be more diligent about protecting even the ugliest forms of speech on private platforms.
The risk is reduced with pasteurization.

Salmonella can contaminate both the outside of eggs through contact with environmental contamination, or inside the eggs from a hen colonized or infected with Salmonella.

Cook your eggs.
I didn't see anywhere in the Chinese article that mentioned "politically sensitive information", "bring news about Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan that has not been reported by official news channels", publish “military information.” The sentence "spread rumors" is mentioned in combination with "scamming" and should be focusing on "scamming" part.
To be fair, Yahoo didn't "get" Tumblr either; they just more or less didn't try to do anything with it. Verizon tried to appeal to more advertisers...but completely shot themselves in the foot. I honestly don't see how it can be salvaged. There is a rumor that PornHub could buy it, but I'm not sure how that's possible. It will be interesting how cheap it is sold. Yahoo bought it for $1.1. Billion. I'm sure by now it's worth 1/4th of that.
Argon-16 Computer
Depends on your definition. I think they qualify as a startup because they're still in their hockey-stick growth phase.
Unless your APK is internal and not distributed outside a small circle, assume your code has been reverse engineered.

Surely if you're running something that has to be that "closed", most of the key code is server side and the client is just calling APIs.

Reverse engineers are not your enemy.
I think you're trying way too hard to make a thing out of this. You were able to give an explanation of 'be vulnerable' here in the shortest sentence in your paragraph

82% of them were mistakes.
You can buy pasteurized eggs, either in-shell or as liquid egg products, in the U.S.

You seem to think that it is courageous to echo the dominant opinion that a majority of talking heads and blue checkmarks on Twitter agree with...try doing something radical like criticizing the U.S. war machine, or Israel, or endless neoliberal regime change and see how that works out for you...you'll find out you can criticize these things using your real name, but they'll be concrete consequences

FanDuel charging inactive users $3 per month for not playing
So it appears the USA way works better.

Does it? Both the UK and EU mandate that hens be vaccinated against salmonella. This step pretty much eliminated eggs as a carrier of salmonella.

I think it's about expressing vulnerability, not merely being vulnerable (which we all are, and have no control over, whether we choose to express it or not).

A simple example of expressing a vulnerability is prefacing a technical opinion with "I'm not too familiar with this technology, but..." or asking a teammate for help with a problem that is giving you trouble.
It's funny that if you tried to sell US eggs in the UK, they'd be illegal, and the UK eggs would be illegal in the US.

But Japan has the best eggs and you can eat them raw or half-cooked without any fear of salmonella.
1- salmonella is not due to eggs only, but meat and vegetable also

2- you probably read in the article like all of us that chicken in Europe are vaccinated against salmonella, while this is not mandatory in the US

Therefore I am not sure how you reach this conclusion.
> illegal activities like distributing pornography, gambling, scamming, etc, which are problems on the social networks that are quite important to solve

Distributing pornography happens all over, right on the street. And on the regular internet, outside of chat groups.

I would not say that distribution of pornography through private chat groups rises to the level of "important to solve" given the infinite other very easy ways to get it.
"... and it literally becomes an example of ..."

No, you would need to actually kill someone in order for that to literally be an example of "to kill 1 as a warning to 100".
In their other post you can read that they have just added a few gitaly worker nodes and got better disk IO by not using raid 5. I don't see why the cloud provider is relevant here, could all been done on azure.
But like another commenter said, that still doesn't explain crappy software.

One note is there is no promise that a cure for HIV is possible, and if so, isn't potentially decades away.

Drugs like this, and HIV as a manageable, chronic condition have the potential to vastly change the face of the HIV epidemic.

A bigger concern, in my opinion, is how you get the drugs necessary for this to a place like Uganda, where the per-capita annual health budget is $0.05.
I'll give em $5, anyone willing to beat that?
It's hilarious to me that your name is BinaryIdiot and your post is a false dichotomy.
>The reach of facebook, or the reach of youtube, twitter etc, is so high, that if you want to disseminate a message, those _must_ be the platforms you use.

This isn't true though. Alex Jones can disseminate his message through countless other websites, which have their own users. This is really just advocating for equal exposure of opinions, which isn't a free speech issue.

Ask HN: Why nobody talk about age discrimination in silicon valley?
Not sure but I suspect the EU to have larger regulatory variance among member countries, as well as likely overall lower cost barriers to obtaining a diagnoses.
This strikes me as an attempt to skim a tiny amount of money from forgotten accounts in the hopes that a substantial portion of these users won't even notice their credit/debit cards being charged $2.99/mo.
> The shareholders of Facebook are entitled to run their company as they see fit. Because they own it.

That isn't entirely true when we are talking about "customer discrimination"...we'd be having a completely different conversation if Facebook came out and said "we're going to ban Filipinos" or "we're banning those who express anti-war sentiments"...it's a lot easier when the people being persecuted are right-wing nationalists, anti-Israel, or conspiracy nuts...
We all know what "spread rumors" stands for.
Sero-discordant couples (one partner is HIV+) are fairly common - it's not asking people to do this, its asking some of those people to take a drug while they do it.

You can get near to an RCT with newer trial designs like stepped-wedge designs, which are way better in terms of equipoise and nearly as efficient statistically.

Long shelf life might be desireable, but the UHT process has a really bad effect on taste. I prefer buying fresh, short expiration date milk.
Women getting together is fine. Not once have groups of women ever been known to rebel against the government.

Were you also attributing "It's better to let things burn" to me personally?
that begs one question: where to get the apk from?
I haven't been able to find in-shell pasteurized eggs for years.

You can pasturize them yourself, but the margins are pretty tight, and there is no way to verify you were successful.
I think it's maybe more likely a result of car sales being down in general. Nisan light vehicle sales are down 7.8% (~35,000 vehicles) when comparing the first 4 months of 2018 to the first 4 months of 2019.

Not a fan. Sure, a touch screen makes it easy to have an interface you can change on-the-fly all through software, but it requires eye-hand coordination which forces you to stop watching in front of you. How is this any better than trying to type on a cellphone while driving? I prefer proper dials and buttons in such a situation, which I can easily use without looking at them.
Pasteurized eggs are available. For example: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Davidson-s-Safest-Choice-Large-AA...
I work at Google, I neither know Brendan Burns nor Mike Burrows. According to his LinkedIn Brendan was a Senior Staff Engineer at Google, i.e. Level 7. That is not a particularly high position.

My previous manager was a Principle Engineer (Level 8). I am pretty sure no one here ever heard her name.
Making their software available for licensing is widely understood to be a fairly fundamental to the near bankruptcy of Apple in the mid 90s.

Similarly why would Apple sell their hardware to other companies at below consumer prices? The best case scenario is that they ... make less money?

Seriously, what is the reason that Apple should provide subsidized r&d for other companies?

I like to think the link is that if people truly think that their discussion and what they've presented than they have nothing to fear. Nor are they willing to sacrifice their integrity for it.

The best possible way of doing this would be if the person is basing this argument from the basis of good intention and good will and that they know the subject is of good. But if you can't do that perhaps deep down in side you know there is something wrong with your position. If you still believe in it you ought to have a solid argument.

Not this every people make mistakes as if all mistakes are the same argument. A distracted mother caused a car accident that kill someone. A drunken driver killed someone in a car accident. Both are mistakes but they're not equal, if they were then one of them wouldn't be likely to have a harsher punishment.

Having a real name forces at person to be honest, civil and actually put real effort into the discussion.

I like to think the people who hides behind these fake names are more like those Klanmen hiding behind those white hooded costumes. I'm not alluding to racism but it is either because deep down inside they know they're wrong or they're not brave enough to stand on their own feet or unwilling to put effort into making a solid argument.
From the article:

> Why go to the trouble of washing eggs? A lot of it has to do with fear of salmonella.

> eggs contaminated with salmonella are responsible for about 142,000 illnesses a year in the U.S., according to the Food and Drug Administration
Show HN: Spieel, a simple happiness tracker for Android
I made a simple mood/happiness tracker as a side-project for myself and friends to use. I know there are thousand of mood trackers already - this is mine.

Spieel allows you to log how happy you feel in a particular moment in time, tag it, and then save an optional photo and diary entry with your entry.

Over time you can view you average levels of happiness over months, days and hours.

You can also filter your happiness log by tag, getting some deeper insights into how specific things or people affect your mood(pizza, that person, your job).

Being able to visually see how your levels of happiness vary over time would likely allow you to make some important life decisions with more clarity, or just allow you to fine-tune your life satisfaction a little bit more. Well, still use your judgement though - my logs so far reaveled that eating junk food makes me particularly happy, this is not something I think I should optimise for!

Privacy-wise, sensitive info like passwords and diary entries are hashed, and all network calls are sent over https and/or ssh. If you want to delete your account and associated data, you can do so instantly in the settings menu.

Spieel is only for android at this stage, if there's enough interest I'll port a verion to iOS too. I have some future updates planned, but will only look into those if there's enough interest.

Please be kind, it was only myself working on it on-and-off, early mornings and an hour here-and-there over weekends.

Hope this helps someone!

Mods, please change this garbage clickbait headline to, "Eggs need to be refrigerated in the US because they come pre-washed."
I think we need to accept that from this point forward some subset of the internet will be outraged about literally everything, and try not to let it have a disproportionate effect on our actions.
I put a bit of effort in to providing a comprehensive, multi-pronged, take on my interpretation of what's going on with this use of vulnerable, a use that isn't covered by any of the entries for the word vulnerable listed in any of the dictionaries I have close at hand.

I refer you to the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
~50% higher incidence is a small difference? In the US that would be an extra ~23,000 cases of salmonella.

IIRC that measures time more than spoilage. In the sense that it takes time for eggs to spoil, it works well. You'll be tossing safe-but-old eggs, but eggs aren't that expensive.
I strongly disagree. There are many ways to combat misinformation that do not involve censorship. There is nothing to applaud about oppression driven government censorship.
