The thing is, I don't even really like Docker as an init daemon. I have my gripes about Systemd but I see no downsides to not having a long-running daemon for a container engine. Really, whether you need root or not isn't even the most important issue; you can do sudo or suid or whatever with any container engine; Docker just has it be an implicit, unintuitive behavior.

I used to use systemd+rkt for simple container setups when I didn't need all of Kubernetes. Never noticed any downsides versus using Docker, but on the flip side, I had far fewer issues with my containers not properly starting at boot.
I personally know many that did not. Including refugees from other countries who arrived with nothing.
Because this has to do with western medicine as a discipline and practice, in which we over-objectivized health care and the doctor/patient relationship is heavily asymetric. This leads to the fact that in most cases, doctors do not really listen to their patients, let alone believe them when they don't manage to find objective cues of a illness.

They easily discard patients' subjective experience. Recent research is calling for a change in that aspect, and change is slowly happening.
But yes, pain is how your brain protects your body. Pain means you need to rest before your tissues literally rip to pieces from a structural failure.
DAU/MAU is an engagement metric, not a growth metric. The decline says nothing about their growth rate.
I would like to see the healing time compared with that of hydrocolloid[0] bandages. Anecdotally, I have found them to be very effective at speeding healing and minimizing scarring.

> certain topics—some political but some not—are not "friendly to advertising", and so get demonetized on various platforms

I think they're pretty different. If you look at the AdSense prohibited content policy [1] or the ones for other general-interest networks they don't allow their ads on sites about porn, drugs, gambling, etc. If you run a standard newspaper, for example, covering the full breadth of what a newspaper typically covers, you should be able to put ads on ~every story.

In a world without ads, the newspaper would probably be a subscription site, and would be competing with non-subscription sites that are funded by people who want to push a perspective. The current dynamic effectively prioritizes perspectives in terms of how much people want to read them (because that's where the advertising money is) while in this new dynamic there would be more prioritization based on how much money the people with that perspective have (because that's where the funding is). I think that's probably worse for the world?

I don't understand why this was done suddenly. Warning Iranians that there account will be blocked next month and offering read-only access in the meantime would be much more reasonable. I'd expect legal action to impose the ban would likely take at least this long. I'm glad git is a distributed system, and hope no one lost any information.
>You can’t impose “minimum standards” for housing by fiat

Of course you can. This is precisely how the modern world operates.

>any more than you can make a plane fly by regulatory directive.

This honestly sounds like a childish understanding of governance. How you can compare two entirely different things? Aerospace is perhaps the most regulated mode of transport than I can think of. Planes are, quite literally, kept flying by regulatory directive. I'm embarrassed for myself that I need to stoop to explain such a fundamental working of the world.

>That idea displays a level of ignorance comparable to flat eatherism. All you can do is push on the balloon—and when you do, it’ll bulge out somewhere else.

I think you've either got a lot of reading to do or you're a young person who's been inculcated with a juvenile ideology. In either case you need to rid yourself of this simplistic world view.

>In the context of housing, that means if you make it illegal to build housing for poor people in places wit jobs, you’ll either make them homeless, unemployed, or you’ll saddle them with long commutes from places with affordable housing.

You need to have more imagination here. Most countries manage this just fine.
I'd say this could probably give some people a way of looking at things, the environment they live in and that privilege is often there even though it's tabu / taken for granted.

At the same time, I find this to be true for a small type of entrepreneurship. My barber, the local store, my favorite restaurant is not really connected to privilege and everyone of them has gotten where they are anyways.

It was essentially an extraordinarily expensive toy.

So not unlike early cars.

By 1900, at least 100 different brands of horseless carriages were being marketed in the United States. Since they were all virtually handmade, the cars were outrageously expensive. Cars were perceived as no more than a high-priced toy for the rich. The early 1900s cars were, to many, a despicable symbol of arrogance and power.

I think the ad blocking arms race is unfortunate because it's converging on recognizing/disguising ads so that they can be hidden/served despite what the other side wants. That's lame. I don't have any need for a hyper evolved system of coersion/rejection.

Wouldn't it be far better if instead we focused on identifying content and finding ways to serve it more efficiently? Why download the whole page and then hide 95% of the data?

I'd like to see a system where we crowd source the identification of content. If 100 people all view a page and see 100 different ads but the same article each time, a smart browser extension should be able to conclude that the uri actually refers to the static text. Store that on ipfs or somesuch and when I click the link, don't waste my bandwidth downloading the site, just serve up what I wanted in the first place.

I'm not sure how such an approach would play out--but all we're getting out of the current strategy is smarter and smarter ads. I can't imagine we're gonna look back in 100 years and be glad we aligned our incentives in such a direction, so I think trying something different would be worthwhile.
The “former role is free”? Google is huge and has thousands of managers, so it’s only “free” in the sense that they’re hiring some managers. There’s still only one Jeff Dean.
An idea: maybe it's both ways. Maybe there's a gulf between being wealthy and being fairly poor where you are content enough with what you have to be unwilling to take a risk on entrepreneurship. Either you have nothing to lose, or you have so much that the losses wouldn't really impact your way of life.

(Sidestepping the question of whether the article is bunk, because it doesn't really seem to be saying much interesting.)
I think it was a cross over study. Or everyone went control for 4 days and study protocol for next 4.
> This impacts legit US producers who want to sell healthy food by putting them out of business.

I'm sorry but there is no evidence for this claim. I can't think of a single Big Food company that wants to sell healthy food. Look at the poultry industry. Look at how milk, pork, and beef are produced. There's no reason to believe that "Big Shrimp" would be any more ethical.

Local corporations put profit before health and safety just as much as foreign corporations do.
“This error of understanding has dominated Indian culture for centuries and has turned the principle of life upside down. Life on the basis of detachment! This is a complete distortion of Indian philosophy. It has not only destroyed the path of realization but has led the seekers of Truth continuously astray ... Indian scriptures are now so full of the idea of renunciation that they are regarded with distrust by practical men in every part of the world. Many Western universities hesitate to teach Indian philosophy for this reason.”

- Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 12 January 1965, Preface to Bhagavad-Gita
the thing that rubs me the wrong way about mindfulness is how it sits neatly between secularism, spirituality and obsessive self-improvement, it's exactly the sort of thing "high performers" who are full of themselves are drawn to. No value commitments, little meaningful connection to the real world, it's the sort of replacement for religiousness you expect to find in a tech mecca, which is of course where it has been gaining popularity.

When I hear minfulness I think of Jack Dorsey meditating in a private retreat in myanmar while the rohingya are being chased down the next street by a mob organised on twitter. A few years ago it was reading Marc Aurel and the stoics and now it's apparently meditation.

The irony of course being that the entire practise seems to have been commodified already, now we can all medidate with the premium subscription meditation app that wants us to get away from our subscription services.
Ok - but how does this anecdote help if you don’t have data?

Using personal anecdotes to refute a binary assertion backed with data is a category error, even though I don’t doubt your experience.
HN does have ads. They're job ads for YC companies, and they're the entries you see without an option to vote on. Ones like "Come eat – I mean build with the ZeroCater (YC W11) engineering team".
Engagement fall happens when users lose interest, revenue fall happens when advertisers realise users have lost interest. It makes sense to me, advertisers will lag a bit.

> We are taught and continually retaught that discipline and hard work are the keys to success in life.

Maybe we should work on that presupposition first. If we're talking about career and material success it's probably true, but these very rarely bring true lasting happiness. You also have to look at who's telling you to "work hard" and why it's in their interest for you to do so.

Imho once you go above a very low threshold of income (allowing you to live comfortably without excesses) you should have better things to do with your time than spending 7+ hours a day working.

Vacations are the proverbial carrot on a stick. "Be a good worker this week and you'll get to spend your money and enjoy yourself this weekend", "be a good worker this quarter and you'll get to spend your money and enjoy yourself during the next vacations", "Be a good worker all your life and you'll get to spend your money and enjoy yourself during retirement". Fast forward 45 years and you spend literally 70% of your life either working or sleeping, the rest being divided between distraction that barely keeps you going (daily Netflix or video game, weekly party, quarterly vacations) and chores. You're now physically and mentally a shadow of your past self but you have all the time you want, success!

It's extremely easy to get lost in all the little made up games we play days after days and miss the big picture.
Not really, nope. You should not focus on anything. You should experience the experience openly. If you eat a fruit and it reminds you of home, you should experience the food and the memory and yourself, without blocking any of that by focussing on something specifically.

Of course to get to that state of mind you first need to learn by naively focussing on it, that there is more to the experience than what you can see at first. But that is like the additional wheels you put on a child's bike. It's supposed to be on there forever. It's just to get you started.

The goal is to oepn yourself to parts of the experience you didn't have before. For instance have you realized how much your body is automatically communicating your inner feelings through body language? Just keep thinking about your shoulders over the day and see how often they are actually raised as an unconcious way of protecting yourself. It can even happen when you brush your teeth because of what you are thinking about in that moment.

So when you are able to combine all these observations, and are able to not overwrite your observations by thinking too much, and be able to do it all the time without needing to expend any kind of energy on it, then you have achieved Mindfulness.

Even the guys in the text books that are praised so much probably haven't achieved it btw. They themselves would not even claim so. But the people who wrote the books were on a lower level where they thought they needed to expend energy to achieve something, e.g. by telling a more enhanced version of the story they might advertise the book or its philosophy to you.
There's good evidence that this kind of thing was made in the Arab world in the "dark ages" and that many of the moving statues in western europe were powered from the same sort of mechanisms in the medeival period. Great listen here : https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bk1c4d
There's like one sentence of "because I said so" analysis in this article. The idea that Facebook is dying because MAU is growing faster than DAU is basically ... dumb. Both numbers are going up. Facebook users are growing. Feels like people just like upvoting anything anti-Facebook even if the content doesn't really make the case well or at all.
What's your point? That Chrome now can't adopt Safari's extension API to save battery life because...? Improving Chrome's battery life by adopting a simpler extension API helps close the gap. That's a significant benefit whether or not Safari did it first or whether Chrome still has room for improvement.
I don't have data, but I know scores of people who started up companies, and almost none of them came from money.
That sounds great- congrats on the impressive growth last quarter.

However, it would be more insightful if the earnings report made it clear that the revenue was actually $ 2 BB last quarter in addition to giving a 'run rate.' We would then be able to apply an apples-to-apples comparison with AWS, which made $8.4 BB last quarter, growing 37% from the quarter last year, with a 'steady-state run rate'(no growth) of $33B.

That seems straightforward, don't you think? Giving partial info when compared to your peers will only encourage deeper scrutiny.

As for the point about ARR in the other comment, it would be good to see how much of the revenue is due to pre-existing commitments vs. on-demand use, but you won't get that just by using a single 'run-rate' number.
> I'm working on an early-stage startup right now, and I'm certainly not going to use ads as part of my revenue model.

That is great, but who are the people paying you? Are they end users, or are you selling a service to other web companies that DO rely on ad dollars to make money?
> The airlines shouldn't have bought unsafe airplanes, but were crazy enough to do so. The buyers turned out to be even worse chancers.

The plane was made by Boeing, and signed off by the FAA as being safe. Some airline on the other side of the world isn't going to even pretend to know more about the plane than Boeing and the FAA do. It was a completely reasonable assumption to make that the aircraft was airworthy.

The only airlines who would know that the FAA is actually corrupt (captured by Boeing) and could be failing at their regulatory function are the US airlines.

It's unfortunate that you seem to be blaming Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines for the crashes because apparently they should have known better than to trust that Boeing and FAA would approve a faulty plane. Keep in mind that the FAA approved the plane as is and not "airworthy only if you buy the extra features"
It's more "Planes are new and unproven and if you want to ship cargo on them I'm going to want to see numbers". In fact this did eventually work, but not until FedEx came along half a century later using surplus early generation jets that no one was imagining in the early part of the century.

Someone who threw a ton of venture cash at "Air Freight Ltd." in 1913 or whatever would have lost their shirt.

Back to the point: I'm not saying this won't work. I'm saying that there are firm limits to how well it MUST work just to be better than technology that was proven out five millenia ago. That's a really high bar, and it needs numbers and not press hits.

You 'd need to have an archive of private conversations for such things (not just on facebook). I think the NSA/FBI will take care of that
MITRE - The First Twenty Years - a History of the MITRE Corporation

There used to be a lot of juicy stuff shared on various .mil(.x) domains ~1990s, that provided a view in to the apparently significant transition to viewing the world as constantly at war, and the US and its allies' views during the initial phase of militarization of non-military information and communications networks and space. Probably some portion available on archive.org. Search using domains of military research organizations.
There are several simple data transformation steps. There's nothing inherently wrong with these steps. The compiler can't read your mind and guess what you wanted to do.

But wouldn't you have to wait until you sign up say, 100 or 200 people to build a reasonably dense apartment building? How is that going to be practical? A co-op is then going to have to run on consensus about what sorts of amenities to build, and what to do with common spaces, etc.

Another question might be: there's nothing stopping anyone from doing this now. You could go start one of these at this very moment if you wanted to. Why do you think it hasn't been done?
Yep. I'm pretty curious where the overwhelmingly negative FB sentiment on HN comes from. I've never seen so many people pride themselves in never having used / deleting Facebook.
Yes I have had it, and am fully recovered now thanks.
Looks like blogspam.
On the other end of the spectrum, compared to raw technical challenge, is building something (esp an application) that actually has users.

We as craftspeople tend to overfocus on raw technical challenges and technical superiority, and we lose sight that the purpose of our tools and expertise is to create things.

Creating things that other people find fun or useful is even farther out of most of our comfort zones. And it puts a lot of things into perspective, like how unimportant technical superiority is when picking among trade-offs when you're actually trying to get things done that isn't just a self-inflicted technical puzzle that will die on localhost.
Let's say there are three variables, risk tolerance, money in the bank, and bet size. Risk is bet size divided by money in the bank, and if that's less than your risk tolerance you take the bet. That would predict that investing $100,000 in a business either means you're a crazy adrenaline junky that switches countries and abandons their life stability at home to get a better economic chance, or it could mean that you have $1,000,000 to start with.
Being a developer really helps. I've interviewed many dozens of self-funded founders who've explained that the reason they felt comfortable "taking the leap" of entrepreneurship was because they knew they could always fall back to working as developers. Getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to write code is a pretty solid fallback plan.

This was true for me as well, and is why I've never had trouble starting things, even when I didn't have investors or a rich family to rely on.

YMMV, etc…
Because the design and engineering greatly outstripped the extant methods of manufacturing the devices didn’t actually work that well.

It would take another 1000 years of slow incremental improvements in manufacturing to be able to make one of these devices accurate enough to be useful.

If you want to make civilization resistant to collapse and increase its ability to recover quickly: bury gear cutters, lathes, magnifying glasses, precision tools, etc. The most difficult part will be bootstrapping the ability to build accurate tools with which to rebuild an industrial society.

Some comments mention money grabbing. It is $7.50, seriously.

It's classic Doom, it is on the Switch and it plays really well. I'm enjoying it as much as other full priced titles.
IMO this war will lead to greater consolidation on publisher side. If only FB/Google are left with ability to make money of the web, we'll be left with hobbyist who do it for free or super platforms.

Right now Verge created a wordpress website put google ads on it and can afford a team to right some content. If all third party ads are blocked option left would be `paid content` or go to Google/FB platform to publish wherein you'll have lesser control but more revenue as all ads are first party.
A "garage startup" is the silicon valley's symbol of romantic start "from zero". Fun fact though: most people around the world, even middle-class (by local standards), simply can't afford a garage.. So if your family owns one, you indeed come from a family with money.
> You suggest that we should sacrifice the rigor of pilot training to allow delivering planes without safety compromises

Describing this as "sacrifice the rigor of pilot training" is illegitimate. If someone is already certified on a similar plane, the training they need is really only on the difference between the planes.

> I think there’s absolutely no justification for safety compromise in this scenario - the new plane will pay for retraining costs in a slightly longer amount of time than it would’ve had retraining not been required — oh well.

The problem is that monetary costs are still safety costs. Now the new thing costs more and people choose alternatives that may be less safe. If new planes are more expensive then older planes that are more likely to suffer wear-based mechanical failures stay in service longer. If air travel costs more then more people drive.

Boeing obviously screwed this up, but we gave them the incentive to screw it up, and that's on us too.

> The real question to learn from this tragedy is not how can we make it slightly less expensive to produce a new air frame — it’s how can we ensure that safety is not allowed to be compromised during the design phase of new passenger aircraft in service of _truly_ minor cost savings

But that is how you do it. You figure out how to achieve the cost savings without compromising safety. There is no law of nature that says they're mutually exclusive, and without forcing them to be at odds there is no longer an incentive to choose the wrong one.
