It's kinda crazy. We say this - but I suspect we are a minority.

Simply because "we" (some of us - not I) are parents of kids in these systems, but there are other parents of our age with kids in these systems who like them just fine - and I suspect there's more of them.

Otherwise - why would "we" let these systems exist, if "we" are glad they didn't exist back when "we" were in school?

I also suspect that those parents of our age who do support this today would also side with our views as well - if they were presented back when "we" were kids.

But for some reason - I don't know how, why, or when or... - but people seem to somehow forget their past as children. I don't know if this is deliberate (in some cases it might be, possibly for valid or at least rational reasons - such as abuse or whatnot) - or if something else is going on...?

Why is it that "we" (here on HN or elsewhere) can self-introspect and say "wow, I wouldn't have liked this as a kid - so why would I think my kid would like it, or their friends; heck I wouldn't like it myself as an adult" - but a larger majority (it seems) of adults seem to be unable to place themselves back in the shoes of their younger selves?

Are we the strange ones? If it's all about numbers alone, we might be...
"And it appears as though it will be compatible with other controllers. (Probably not the Chromecast version, though.)"

May I ask how you arrived at this conclusion?
>OK, I think we really need to investigate protecting the privacy of our youth. This is effectvely acclimating our children to minimal privacy as enforced by authoritarian organizations.

There's no privacy when you post things publicly on the internet.

If you're referring to the 2012 case of EA vs Zynga, it doesn't look to me like it established different jurisprudence. The artwork in that screenshot comparison looks very obviously copied. For copyright, copying something doesn't mean that you have to copy it verbatim without modification, as derivative works where you take the original and modify it slightly can still infringe upon the copyright holder's rights.

This is why projects like Freedoom or Hedgewars recreate all game assets to make them look quite different. Just making minor changes that make it obvious that the original artwork was used as a guideline is not enough of a defense against an accusation of infringement.

What is a defense, however, is when copyright infringement is not willful. If you and I happen to make the same artwork but we can prove that neither of us looked at each other's work and the similarity is just a coincidence, then it's unlikely that we can claim copyright infringement.
> If they're posting publicly, then they're posting publicly. Privacy isn't a thing.

But in many cases they weren't. That article talks about taking personal photos off of a student's personal device just because they connected it to a school computer for a short time. It included things like nude photos. Now the school has committed child pornography by copying these photos from the student's device. I don't see how anyone can think that's reasonable. Just because I bring a bag with personal letters into the school doesn't mean the school has a right to open those letters, read them, and make Xerox copies of them. It's the same with bringing a personal device to school.

The only "new" bit of verifiable information is that a link to Paul Le Roux's Wikipedia page appears unredacted in a document presented by Wright in which most other specific names are redacted because he claimed their exposure could put him at risk (implication being that he helped put criminals away). Everything else just starts from "Le Roux may be Satoshi" and employs conspiracy theorist logic to get there ("He uses an alias that kind of sounds a little like Satoshi - Solotshi. This suggests that he IS Satoshi.")
It feels like the need for multi-cloud designs and infrastructure are becoming more sensible. If costs are best with one provider, by all means put 95% of your traffic there... But keeping 5% running smoothly on a second cloud, with a simple means to rebalance between them would be a huge win. It would mean the difference between an annoyance (argh, one of my cloud providers doesn't work) and a disaster (my sole cloud provider just ended my company). It would also save you the next time AWS or Google's cloud have an outage.

Are there any good resources for deploying multi cloud architectures?
Yep, truly horrible things like buying power tools and wood working plans, but not wanting to see advertisements for those things on every last fucking website or application I ever use ever again for the rest of all time.

I visited the Bay Area for the first time (as an adult) a few weeks ago and was astonished by the difference between what I was expecting based on HN comments, and reality.

All I saw of the city made it seem like a giant suburb. BART stations were miles apart and therefore practically useless. It is really not that dense and traffic is not bad.

I am sure some areas are different. I was mainly in the area around SFO, and my conference was not hosted in downtown because apparently the homeless problem is bigger there, but at that level of low density and congestion, I fail to see how public transit is much of a win. People will not realistically take public transit if it doubles their travel time. And this case applies doubly to medium-sized suburbanized cities in the central US.

On the other hand, I can see what people mean about a housing problem when there are virtually no buildings taller than 3 stories except hotels in such an urban area.
Absolutely, your domain name might be your most important asset. It’s silly to put that in the hands of a party that you might have to fight. Especially as there are hundreds of alternatives.
I played the AC Odyssey Stadia/Stream beta -- at least for that kind of single-player experience it felt comparable to console input lag with no jarring effects. I'd be interested in how it would be in twitch shooters though.
I have a votum separatum.

I think it is lovely that Medium charges people directly, instead of:

- selling data

- spamming with adverts

What else do you expect? (I'm flabbergasted that most people prefer shady ways to get revenue... and then criticize it as well. Even here. Let's PAY for social networks and services. And let's finally acknowledge that the "free" model is more than often tricky/shady or at least - not sustainable.)

FlacheQL- fast client-side caching on super/subset queries for GraphQL
Current solutions for client-side caching in GraphQL are slow, heavy, and often come with a lot of functionality that may be undesirable if you are looking for a caching-only package that aims to decrease loading time. We are excited to release FlacheQL 2.0, a ‘smart’ client-side caching solution.

FlacheQL 2.0 returns subsets from cached data based on the query’s parameters. For example, if you send a query to the Yelp GraphQL endpoint for 20 businesses, and then you send one for 15 businesses, as long as the parameters match, FlacheQL 2.0 will return that subset directly from the cache. Additionally, if you were to query for 20 businesses and then subsequently 25 businesses, FlacheQL 2.0 will retrieve the set of 20 from the cache, restructure the query so that it only pings the server for the remaining 5, and stitch the two responses back together to send the response to the client. This reduces the load on your server from GraphQL resolvers, and speeds up loading time in your application. This new release also includes cache persistence via IndexedDB and TTL cache expiration.

We have seen a substantial decrease in page load times relative to other caching libraries. Check out the demo app if you’re curious to see how we stack up against Apollo—we have query timers on there for comparison purposes. Check it out here: http://www.flacheql.io.

We’d love to hear your feedback about our library, available on npm. This is a work in progress so please feel free to contribute or raise issues as you see fit. You can also download the nom package, and star the repository here: https://github.com/FlacheQL/FlacheQL. Thanks!
I won't neccisarily agree. There is space for "simple" hosting for some thing which is a bit more than just a (static/wordpreess) website, but not a large application, where cloud tooling setup is beneficial.
We use a local provider http://www.trans.net.pl/ and they have some special setup I'm not sure what it's called but I think it's long range wifi and they use a satelite dish as the antenna. The speed is not super great, especially the uplink is to low for us with 1 Mbit/s and we need to stream cctv from there continously, but the downlink is ok with 20 Mbit/s and we pay 56,12 zł which is about $15 per month.

Neither device is the brains. The controller uploads inputs. The Chromecast downloads outputs.

The brains is Google’s cloud.
I also think this this a great idea. I'm making https://epiphany.pub , a mixture of medium.com + Jupyter notebook.
I would think it's just sending data on your inputs to the data center directly to reduce latency, but otherwise has no other brains.
We also have pervasive surveillance, drones that bomb enemies of the state at their weddings, social credit scores, masses who are addicted to their (two way, voice controlled!) telescreens, bionic humans with RFID chips embedded in their hands, reality TV stars running the government, people drinking green mush called Soylent, reusable rockets to colonize Mars, a cloud of Internet-bearing satellites surrounding the earth, and a cult of rich people who think time is going to end as AI takes over and technological progress accelerates to a singularity.

We are living in a cyberpunk novel.
Google isn't a company that restricts their services in such a coupled manner. I fully expect it to be supported on most devices where it's possible to support it.
This is a pretty good column, with kind of a dumb headline, as is too common nowadays. The column is not really suggesting that Neal invented bitcoin.

C/Unix is generally largely credited to Brian Kernighan, Dennis Ritchie, and Ken Thompson. Although Ken Thompson did contribute to Go, he appears to have retired early in the life of the project (I can't find any contributions of his that don't pre-date Go's 1.0 release in 2011), and credit for Go instead tends to lean toward Rob Pike and Robert Griesemer, the former of whom worked at Bell Labs, but appears to have joined in time to have more of an impact on Plan 9 than on Unix. In particular Go bears very striking resemblance to Pike's two earlier languages, Limbo and Newsqueak.
But you don’t need the same architecture replicated across two providers, as your parent post demonstrated. Run Postgres in DO and upload your backups to S3/Azure Storage. This is both cheap and simple to the level that any startup could manage it. If and when it makes sense, you can investigate multi provider replication, but it might just be YAGNI.
Was there a post mortem by DO?

They where a company that was around when node took off, so they offered products and services around that.

Last I heard Samsung had acquired them.
I think the natural engineer intuition is that if a drug is just a chemical, and generic and name-brand drugs are the same chemical, how could there possibly be any difference? Don't be duped by advertising, save the money, be rational, etc.

One interesting case where there was a real problem was with generic extended-release bupropion (an antidepressant). The time-release mechanism on one of the generics didn't work correctly, although the manufacturer managed to get it past the FDA (they actually tested only a 150mg dose, and extrapolated the results to approve the 300mg dose).

Joyent has been a subsidiary of Samsung for a few years (presumably running Samsung's internal private cloud) and I guess they are now focusing almost entirely on Samsung and their public cloud was a distraction that didn't make much money.

Bullying seems to be such a massively larger problem these days, compared to when I was in grade school a couple decades ago. Or at least people are hyper-aware of it. I suppose part of it is that it's not really acceptable to turn around and punch somebody in the mouth if they are being an obnoxious shit anymore. If it is just allowed to slide, the harassment escalates over time, especially in an environment like a school where you can't escape forced association. There's much to be said for short, sharp, action to set boundaries.
Because DO has their $5 and $10 / month plan, and that's really enough for me.

> Define barely. With all due and sincere respect, have you ever tried to build an audience or community from zero without partners, a leverage point, or an ad budget?

The Internet has been building communities from its inception. Medium has nothing on the average fan forum, IRC channel or even subreddit. They grow organically and if moderated properly, can last decades on zero budget.

But it also seems like you're not talking about actual communities, but about potential sales targets (ad budget? partners?).
> Distributing software via online store is not interacting with the program.

Has that been tested in a court yet? If it hasn't, then a lawyer would immediately see risk.

I mean, look at Oracle vs Google on whether or not an API is copyrighted.
It's essentially the same thing. A word is a label on a category.

I'd also argue that what neural networks do is not the same thing as humans inferring categories from instances.

1. We prefeed the NNs with categories and examples. The main work is already done by the human.

2. What the NN learns from cat pictures is not 'cat', but a bunch of trivial visual features that happen to correlate with a bunch of cat pictures in a very brittle manner. Not at all like what happens when humans learn 'cat' from a few instances, and then can recognize cats everywhere in a huge variety of settings and transformations (as I'm learning with my toddler).
By moving Satoshi's coins he is not proving him being Satoshi, he is only proving that he has a private key of Satoshi's wallet. If I steal your Bitcoin wallet's private key and I move your coins does that mean I am you? Probably not. Craig said in of his interviews that he has a bank statement of bitcoin.org domain purchase so I am eager as much as everyone to see the bank statement.
Right. The idea seems to be that the controller directly talks to Google via WiFi to minimize the input latency, while the display device also directly talks to Google to minimize the output latency.
To follow up with your first point, there's been some analysis suggesting that financial markets today are more efficient than they were in the 20th century, which means that price discovery happens more quickly. Historically, the markets returned 8-10% for people invested in indices. I've heard that the market returns today are closer to 3-4%, so even with FIRE you'd realistically need to budget for 1-2% to accommodate for market fluctuations.
Because hypothetically your instance should be hardware agnostic. If the physical hardware dies, it should automatically migrate to another physical server at their data center without your intervention. It will only look like an unexpected restart from your perspective.

That's something worth paying for. It would be more comparable to two servers at Hetzner with rapid failover. But even that is more involved since you have to set up the logic of when to failover.

Auto-scaling is a benefit of "cloud" services. But it isn't the only selling point. Hardware abstraction is perhaps bigger.
Tech's growth has been riding on monopolies (FAANG) and useless, manipulative apps (a large portion of SV startups) for the past decade. It's no surprise that a correction is coming. Useful software will never stop being important, but there's a whole lot of fat right now that's just waiting to be trimmed from the industry.
Yeah, I agree on reporting in particular--would be nice to make them easier to modify
I am old enough to have lived in soviet times for a short while. One thing I remember from back then - in order to get things done, you had to know someone. Perhaps your aunt's friend worked in the politbureau or your mom's classmate was a friend of the director. Through connections like that you could get what you needed.

It was such a relief when times changed and regardless of who you were, you could start exchanging money for things and services.

This story and many others like it remind me of those times - it's back to who you know to get your account unlocked. I've never gotten a story on the front page of HN and probably have 5 twitter followers. What's my avenue of getting my data back?

This isn't just about DO either. Similar stories about google and other services are many to be found.
Guest languages introduce additional layers to debug, usually lack in tooling vs platform languages, require additional FFI considerations, their communities tend to create their own libraries and build tools to parallel platform libraries and tools, just to be more idiomatic.

Also they aren't guaranteed to be around forever.

Platform languages stay around while the platform is still relevant.

So, Kotlin is Android's Swift. Outside Android I bet that in 5 years it will be as relevant as Scala and clojure are today.

TypeScript is a wonderful language from Anders, but tsconfig.json allows to change the semantics in multiple ways and it is relatively hard to track down what changed in every release.

F# is only partially supported across all .NET deployment scenarios and VS Tooling. It was even left out of the new WinUI roadmap announced at BUILD 2019, even though .NET Core does support it.

This is right up my alley being a pretty casual gamer. I have a 1GB Fiber connection at home so streaming shouldn't be an issue, the cost is fairly minimal, and not having the worry about downloading or updating games and just being able to pick up the controller and have a quick gaming session will be perfect. And the cost to entry is very low, so even if the service is a bust and I leave after the 3 free months, I'll still have a Chromecast Ultra that I've been looking to pick up anyway.

there is an assumption the shuttlecock is the Universe and there is nothing outside to observe the object.

It's not an assumption, it's explicitly part of the model.

Same with "What's south of the south pole." It ignores the stars and galaxies past Earth itself.

If I say "the latex in this balloon is like the surface of the earth," I'm not so much ignoring the stars & galaxies, they're just not part of the analogy.

Is your point that, for an object to be curved, there must be something for it to curve into? For example, in order for a 2D surface (like the latex in the balloon) to be curved, it necessarily must be in a 3D (or higher) space?

I'm not convinced you can be much simpler than Rust while maintaining memory safety without GC (including reference counting) while still having standard heap allocation and deallocation. If you throw out memory safety, then sure, you can be simpler.
> The point that many people make: "* Upto 50% of pollution a car will cause is done during production of the car ie before even a kilometre has been driven. Replacing lots of good working cars from the street is not environment friendly."

You're completely wrong. This may be the case for a weekend vehicle that is sent to the junkyard before you put 30,000 km on it, but is 100% wrong for a taxi, that drives >300,000 miles over its life.

It takes 6-12 tonnes of CO2e to produce a car. [1]

Taking 35 mpg, every 10,000 miles driven is 285 gallons of gasoline. 1 gallon of gasoline produces ~8.9 kg of CO2e. That's 2.5 tonnes per 10,000 miles driven.

After 50,000 miles driven, the typical car breaks even with its manufacturing emissions.

The average taxi (in NYC) puts on 70,000 miles. Per YEAR. [2] In a single year, it's fuel emissions exceed manufacturing emissions.

If you want good return-on-investment, taxis are the first vehicles we should be regulating. They drive a lot more than the average car.

> What is added to the social value of bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general?

Authoritative leadership. Nakamoto filled this role historically, and since becoming absent Bitcoin has faced a scalability crisis, and resulting loss of confidence leading to forks. Arguably this has prevented Bitcoin gaining greater use as a currency and payment system, rather than as an investment.

Founders often serve the role of a steward in open projects, and help give direction to development. Examples are Linus Torvalds, Larry Wall and Richard Stallman.

Cryptocurrencies in particular need a consensus on what is the canonical version of the software, so lack of authority is detrimental.

From the very specificity of the restriction, I gather that they're not copyleft-adverse. They're "Don't upload stuff that risks us being forced to divulge our closed-source code.". Without the prohibition, even if a user of the service included some AGPL libraries without Square's knowledge, a cunning lawyer could argue that Square was complicit in distributing this code to end-users and thus liable. The prohibition makes that argument difficult.
