> No, it's not. The alt-right used anonymous web boards like this one (but not HN to my knowledge) to coordinate and celebrate mass shootings that are directly admitted to be race-focused and white-supremacist-led.

This happens equally on both ends of the political spectrum, and I would not entwine "coordinate" and "celebrate" so closely. If you have any real exposure to these communities you recognize any "celebration" as a performative stunt by losers (for lack of a better term) who have few other outlets for asserting self-worth. I've never witnessed a crime being publicly coordinated online.

Do you take it all these people are uncommonly virtuous martyrs? Authentic mental handicaps totally lacking self-awareness and logical consistency? I'm genuinely curious what you think the story is here, because I've always found this observation interesting.
It's all just never been a problem for me. I see an email in the notifications on my phone and either archive it there or swipe it away so I'll see it when I'm at a pc. I get lots of notifications from various things all day but they're just there and not an issue if I'm doing something else.
That's great, but Europe could dial all emissions to zero right now there would be virtually no impact. Even the US doing the same would hardly put a dent in climate change's trajectory, and the issue people have is that we can't simply assume that if we overhaul our entire economies at ruinous cost, China (over 2x America's emissions now and increasing every day), India, Russia, etc will be inspired to get on board. We need a binding global solution. Domestic solutions seem worthless to me.
I don't like about the popularity vote-moderation that it tends to become a dictatorship of the majority: if you're outside of the accepted canon, you'll get thrown out. It's effective for creating an a fairly consistent echo chamber, but I don't believe it comes with few casualties. You won't see the casualties, because they are censored.

I'm fine with using a system like that for starters but ultimately let benevolent dictators overrule majority decisions. My biggest problem with your previous post was the implication that whatever isn't popular doesn't have merit. The relation between the two is weak, that's what I wanted to express.
Yes, and a bunch of harder drugs that destroy lives and are much more dangerous than cannabis, but perfectly fine because some big corp is making billions selling it.

«Very few developers are prepared to write code that can efficiently use 256 threads / machine»

This junk justification has no longer been relevant for years. Most developers don't care because (1) they rely on core applications that are already multi-threaded (web servers, SQL engines, transcoding, etc), or (2) in today's age of containers, VMs, etc, it doesn't matter to them. Now we scale by adding more containers and VMs per physical machine. Bottom line, data centers always need more cores/threads per machine.

Well, going back to the origins of skype it was advertised as encryption that not even employees can read or listen to your calls. I know that broke around (or probably before) MS purchased it - but I just find it funny how much humanity is willing to let things slide. So much so that we go from the most secure peer to peer architecture ever to - oh yeah contractors are listening to skype calls.

You know what I guess I am corrected - they said "employees couldn't read or listen". It's a contractor loophole!!! -/sarcasm

No, it doesn't. The left is not a racist, hateful group and they do not coordinate and perform mass shootings. This particular problem is not shared equally by both sides.

I have nothing to back this statement up...

I am sure they are "training" their AI. I don't doubt it but they have access to masses of data. Some mega-personal I would imagine and also some that can provide insight into other businesses and markets and so on.

The temptation to "use" that data would be absolutely enormous and the financial pressures to use it to provide whatever advantage would be equally enormous.

I recall years ago reading about the FB app spying on users' usage of other apps on phones (My Google-fu is broken right now but I'll keep looking for it and update if I find it).

Imagine if <insert mega-corp> has data from one purpose/system that could provide a massive leg-up to them. Do you think they would ignore it? Perhaps in regulated industries like finance (I happen to work in finance and we have systems and procedures in place for this kind of thing) they may have to destroy it once it's been used for a very specific purpose but we're talking about Skype.

The best scenario is if the data doesn't exist or can't be read... it removes the possibility of temptation and financial pressures to use it.
Not to threadcrap, but I am curious what people think about this.

Over the years I've seen a lot of developers take none open-source code, or private JSON data strings and paste them into random sites they find searching "json format" on google.

Does that make anyone else cringe? Is there anything we can do about this? Or is this just not a big deal and I shouldn't worry.

So you're talking about what bunch of politicians say rather than textbooks?

Infact India has by far the better textbooks compared to developed countries like US. No one questions Theory of Evolution but many Christian schools and Islamic countries teach students to question this. Similarly abortion, anti-vax etc. Looks like US is suffering from religious-tribalism.

I was wrong to assume your were from some Western country and used the word "racism". The right word is Hinduphobia. When India is defending itself from neighboring country which named it's country, constitution based on religion, you are terming this defense as some sort of religious chavunism.

Many abhramic religions teach hatred towards polytheistic and idol worshipping religions like Hindusism and call it pagans and what not names. I believe you're indulging into same and spewing a hatred for Hinduism and spreading Hinduphobia disguised as 'religious-tribalism' word.
I would agree with you but think your examples are poor. Rogan generally lets his guests just talk about what they want to talk about without questioning them. Ben Shapiro sounds like he knows what he's talking about, but tends to pick debates with college students. Shapiro is full of platitudes, something which you seem to criticize the New York Times and New Yorker about interestingly. All of the people you mention, besides the Young Turks who I don't know anything about, lack self-awareness of their place in the world and the effect of their words on the general populace. I'd also argue that CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc have the same issues.

Also I'm not advocating for cable news, I think for profit news is generally terrible.
I'm half German, half Croat. Granted, I was just a kid, but I can remember hour long waiting times at the borders. Even today, with only the border Croatia-Slovenia remaining (and, back to Germany, our beloved Interior Minister's Grenzpolizei checking tourists for not carrying refugees), the waiting times can be hours. The earlier we can get rid of this crap, the better.

What is also a benefit of ever more unification across Europe: communication. Family vacations in Croatia meant next to no communication with friends back in Germany as phone calls and SMSes were ludicruously expensive, and mobile internet roaming all but unaffordable. Now? No roaming charges any more.
I like that they bring up distractions. The addictive nature of online media is an issue, but that isn't the only thing going on.

People are hyper sensitive now, and at least here in the US, there is a sense that 'someone one is to blame, and that person needs to be punished'... and that sense is way stronger than the sense of 'is this person even guilty'.

Where I'm from, I give hitch hikers rides all the time.

Since I've lived in the US, I don't. If the hitch hiker was to have drugs on them, and we got stopped, I could easily be liable for this, and go to jail and lose my right to be in the United States. Those are some high stakes. Especially since I don't have a $250,000 lying around to pay for a criminal defense attorney.

And lower stakes happen everywhere. The other day I was hiking (with my expensive hiking gear) in some back-country trail and I watched as first the dad took a shot, then what appeared to be the mom. So I offered to take the picture of the whole family. The mom yanked her camera to the side when I offered (as if afraid I'd steal it) and tersely rejected my offer (a single, cold and distrustful "NO")

One day I sat down at a restaurant and there was a really nice new cell phone on the seat. In my home country, I would have taken it, and waited to receive a call from the owner to give it back. Not so in the US. I wouldn't want to be accused of stealing it. Instead, I called the staff to take it away. Maybe they stole it? I don't know, but I don't want the liability.

When you do away with presumption of innocence, there is a strong chilling effect.

Maybe it's just slight conservatism. If all existing RTOS' have pre-emptible kernels and yours doesn't, perhaps you'd rather let the market decide you've built an RTOS rather than stating you have and risking an argument over terminology.
It’s not reporting as broken; it’s just reporting as “not our problem if it fails.”

The Right-to-Repair discussion often ignores a key problem companies have: figuring out whether a device is under warranty (i.e. whether they’re obligated to repair the device for free) when it’s submitted for repair.

Some repairs make themselves obvious, and so make the removal of warranty obligation obvious. Other repairs—like third-party battery replacements, done following the Apple process for repair and with Apple OEM components—make the warranty status of the device illegible. If the phone accepted a new Apple OEM battery without saying anything about it, the user might be misled into thinking that the device is still under warranty. But it’s not. It’s been repaired by a non-authorized third-party. It’s no longer Apple’s fault if the device breaks, because that third party may have screwed things up inside the device in any number of ways.

This is, in a sense, a “chain of trust” thing. It’s the same reason Chromebooks have that on-boot warning in development mode. The user needs to be aware that the chain of trust between the OEM and the end-user has been broken; and that, when that happens, anything may potentially have been done to the device.

That’s not to argue against Right-to-Repair. Non-authorized third-party repair shops should have every right to operate as businesses, and end-users should have every right to do business with them. But Apple also should have every right to warn users that the chain of trust has been broken—because it has. The user knowingly broke it themselves! (And, of course, Apple shouldn’t have the right to misconstrue breaking the chain of trust as anything more than that. The battery health is unknown because it’s not an Apple-certified repair, certainly; but that doesn’t mean that the battery is bad, and it would be anti-competitive to claim that.)
some of it is that the security is based around already being internal to the network.

That isn't true, because of how many undocumented immigrants come in and these numbers remain positive.

Nobody is filtering out the undocumented, and yet here we are, still net gaining from their existence in the US.

Further, no one is asking you to make that tradeoff, it is not at the expense of lower runs of our society, because immigrants are the lower runs of our society, at least they are right now, due to how we treat them.

Also, why are native people better or more deserving than the immigrants to a better life? You say it's not a tradeoff you're willing to make, but why not? People are people, regardless of where their birth town is.

Why do you value natives higher than non-natives, despite the clear indications that the non-natives are of a net benefit to you over the natives?

You want to keep America small, its economy small, and its people worse off, all because you believe there's a false tradeoff. That's a problem.

To put this another way, if there "magically" were no tradeoff at all, if the "lower runs of American native society" weren't "negatively impacted", would you change your position?
Also remember that in an arms race, America will pull stuff out of its ass for the sake of propaganda victories.
I am extremely skeptical of climate change arguments because I overwhelmingly hear it from politicians who lie through their teeth about virtually everything and typically for their own gain. I want to believe but my bullshit meter just goes off so strongly whenever I hear a politician say anything

As a counterpoint, consider this quote from an article [1] by economist Robert Murphy: "In the climate change debate, people often forget that under all but the most catastrophic scenarios, the future generations who will benefit from our current mitigation efforts will be much richer than we are. For example, Nigel Lawson points out that even under one of the worst case scenarios studied by the IPCC, failure to act would simply mean that people in the developing world would be “only” 8.5 times as wealthy a century from now, compared to 9.5 times as wealthy if there were no climate change. [2]"

Seriously: we are all going to fucking die from this if nobody does something, and soon. Except maybe a few billionaires in space or bunkers.
From my perspective the story is: some people on HN which profess to value knowledge, scholarship and professionalism and "reducing" things for the sake of simplicity, express strong opinions on a matter of which they know little, their behavior mirrors archetypical behavior studied in the literature, and then rage when they're "reduced" based on scholarship they don't know. This is too long, so I'd summarize it as "HN commenters stuck in a bubble of ignorance rage on a topic they know nothing about."
Except that they are typically not. The Zen architectures are NUMA and controlling where memory is allocated is key to decent threaded performance. You may even have to do seemingly counterintuitive things like duplicating central data structures across nodes and other tricks from the distributed systems playbook.
There is no problem for Excel to allocate memory dynamically for rows and columns as the user edits the sheet as long as it will also handle an allocation failure gracefully. That generally means the user input events call functions that fail and become no-ops until memory can be allocated again.

That's how we used to write software until Linux ended up running everywhere, and that was the only way to write software for platforms without a MMU. As recently as a decade ago mobile phones, before Android, often had strict memory management. Each allocation could fail, and these failure paths had to be tested.

Explicitly committing after a fork() would just make fork() cost a bit more but it would work. The fork() call would fail if there's no memory to duplicate all anonymous pages for the child process. But once it would succeed the child process would know it won't cause an OOM merely by writing into a memory location.

> The nice thing about having discussions based on fact...

Certainly that kind of positivist approach is valuable and warranted for much but not all of the subject-matter on HN. If you're discussing technical subject matter, stuff like the inner workings of regular expressions, programming language features, electronic components, sure, it's all about "the facts".

Things are different, however, in discussions about human affairs, political, inter-personal topics, social movements, historical interpretations, art, design, music, aesthetics, business and other topics in the human experience. These discussions DO EXIST on HN. And NO, sorry, pure facts may not be enough or might be incomplete or out-of-reach for that subject-matter.
It's not a good reason, but it does avoid scary mixed-content warnings. Your (insecure) connection might not be secure!

Yet somehow we were able to handle emergencies before mobile phones existed. I’m not willing to sacrifice quality of life 99.9% of the time just to be able to handle the odd 0.1% outlier situation.

People usually can wait. For the rare case where they can’t, there are even ways to poke through Do Not Disturb mode.
Possibly. But the reality is that if we (either Canada or the US) were looking to "spend money on jobs", there are a million things we could have been hiring people for over the past couple decades, even stuff as simple as infrastructure maintenance and tree planting.

Looks like there are projections for a bunch of jobs in the carbon capture industry (eg https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/mar/17/carbon-c...), but I'm still hazy on how we're going to find trillions in the general revenue pot to make it happen.

@pjmlp Thanks for the suggestion. I can see using WPF/WinUI for corporate-type apps where it will run under Windows on thousands of desks. However, if WPF/WinUI doesn't run on macOS, there is no incentive to use it for consumer products. When I do customer presentations, the number one question is "When will it run on the Mac?"
