> I do not trust the incentive structures of Silicon Valley to permit you to adhere to this principle.

Neither do I! My point is more so that we try to take steps not just to say "hey we don't read your thoughts" but also to align the incentive systems so that 10 years down the line we're at least pointed in the right direction.
Look in Public Pair for the Office Actions. The 101 will usually be the first objection raised if it applied. There are many ways to overcome these, even in a Final Rejection, by narrowing the claims or revising the specification (however, the latter resets the priority date).
Wouldn't irc's ignore feature count as a version of shadowbanning too? Channel admins can silence a user channel wide or users can ignore individual users. In both cases, as far as i know, the ignored or silenced user receives no notification of this.

I also seem to rember msn messenger also had a silent blocking feature. Your activity would be invisible to the blocked user and you'd appear as offline.
Notably, subinterpreters might be able to share data without copying it. ProcessPoolExecutor can only share data by pickling it.
This might be even more interesting:

> Forbes also revealed on Monday that Apple was to give bug bounty participants “developer devices”—iPhones that let hackers dive further into iOS. They can, for instance, pause the processor to look at what’s happening with data in memory. Krstić confirmed the iOS Security Research Device program would be by application only. It will arrive next year.

So called "dev fused" iPhones were like gold to security researchers up until now. There are a handful in the world outside of Apple's control. If you had one you'd have a massive advantage at finding exploits/holes.

Unclear exactly what qualifications you need to meet to get a developer iPhone under this program but I'd suspect established security companies or consultancies only.

As an aside the $1M figure is only for kernel exploits without any user interaction, or network exploits without user interaction on pre-release versions of iOS (due to the 50% bonus on $500K).
I interpreted the use of labels as partly poking fun at how trigger happy many people are with applying those labels. Actual alt right and "sjw cesspool" comments get flagged and dead. Me I felt that the comment meant to communicate that divisive issues that elicit these labels (but don't actually warrant them, hence the quotes around both) are permitted on HN and that is something positive.

> HN should work towards having thoughtful discussions and providing useful contributions. It shouldn't be about tolerating particular political views or not. That shouldn't be the mod's job.

I agree and I'm confident the previous commenter would as well. The only piece of nuanced disagreement I have is about the involvement of moderators. I agree that ultimately it's the users that need to do work towards providing useful and thoughtful discussion, but moderators do have a crucial role is fostering and maintaining that kind of culture.
I would say that monocultures, monopolies, vertical integration, etc. are all really good at making a local maxima, but at the expense of making it harder to find things that might be better still. And... sincerely, they are good for local maxima. They have the mindshare, they have the money, they have everything they need to succeed, today. And then tomorrow will come and they'll be stuck. But that doesn't mean that they can't be good, just that costs have to be weighed.
(Further devolving into off-topic:) What I don't understand is why they moved from BSD+Patents to MIT, and not to pure BSD, by just removing the Patents file, which would be the obvious step?
Channel 4 has never been funded by taxes as far as I'm aware. That wikipedia page states it was paid for by the ITV companies paying for the right to put adverts on it, and now funds itself from it's own advert sales.

Channel 4 is a bit of an odd one, as it's publically owned but not publically funded.
You might appreciate the sourcehut approach (which I am the author of). Each build job is decoupled from git and can be submitted ad-hoc with zero or more git repos declared in the manifest. Your manifest is machine-editable too so you can add extra build steps or tweak various options before submitting it in specific cases. postmarketOS does this, for example, to automate builds of all of their packages. SourceHut itself does this to fill the demand made by this trend, too, by pulling build manifests out of your git repo and tweaking the sources to check out specific commits, then submitting it over the API.

I think of most in-house corporate lawyers as playing the role of "no men". There job is to highlight risks and stop things from happening. It's a rare lawyer who understands business goals and can balance them against risks.
You'd be taking on currency exchange risk, as the Danes will want to loan you Euros but you'll likely be paying back the loan in USDs.
It makes no financial sense. You can't even talk about what the P/E multiple should be for that growth rate because you can't guess what their earnings will be. As many others have posted they are not close to breaking even so it is hard to conclude what changes they would have to make to earn $1 in operations. (I know they have had a profit in a qtr. I am taking operating profit.)
I don't think that's worth it vs a slightly more rigid and more waterproof phone. Changing the battery is done 0 or 1 times in the lifespan of a phone, so making it a 10 minute affair is hardly too inconvenient.
Fascinating to hear all the different meanings of "CTO" depending on context.

The whole history of ups and downs as founder/CEO/CTO and other roles you've had, sounds like it would make for educational story-telling time for other people who are learning to navigate these waters.

Godspeed, would love to (somehow) hear how it turns out.
>Still surprises me the new Mac Pro isn’t AMD.

Yes, I was rather hoping for some surprise, with 2 Socket, 128 Core Max Mac Pro. I guess Apple has to keep Intel happy until they get their hands on Intel's modem unit.
> At what point do I simply say "fuck it" and stop working too, because some ridiculous percentage of my income has to be applied towards feeding those who won't/can't/don't do anything productive?

Econ 101 opinion here, so I'm ignoring totally reasonable things like "people work for reasons other than monetary compensation" and assuming you're a rational participant in the economy, but I'd say there is no percentage at which you'd do that.

No matter how high a percentage is taken, you can always increase the topline number to make the bottom line number come out ahead of not working. I'd take a 99% tax on $1 billion/year over $14k/year in social insurance taxed at 0% if it were offered.

Anyway, isn't this similar to what the comp of people implementing something you might call automation is already doing in US tech hubs? We've had relatively low inflation in the US over the past decade (by CPI, anyway) but I can find you an article by Joel Spolsky from the aughts lamenting the fact that some tech companies were paying top new grads nearly $100k a year.
>Absolutey irrelevant to my point.

It isn't, because unless you've been lurking for years or have an alt account, you're just being an elitist poser. People have been complaining about HN "turning into Reddit" for so long that it used to be listed in the guidelines as a common, semi-noob delusion.

>Why do so many of your comments in your post history denigrate women and minorities?

Point them out to me, please. I'm usually defending women and minorities here, and often getting downvoted for the effort.
I currently have no TV licence. I cancelled it over a year ago as I don't receive a TV signal in my flat. The TV is used for netflix, Amazon Prime, Youtube and the Playstation.

I filled out the form to get my refund and you have to choose an option for why you don't need a TV. e.g. you are moving, you are in the military, gone blind or something etc etc. Not an option to tick "I don't watch TV".

Anyway, I got the refund and within a week I was getting threatening letters from them saying I don't have a TV licence!

Great joined up IT guys. The letters have continued at a rate of one or two a month ever since.

I could probably make them stop by calling them, but I already filled out the form, I got my refund... I don't see why I should waste more of time helping them out.

I expect at some point someone is going to come to my flat and request to see in the flat to check I'm not watching TV without a licence. If they do they won't be getting let in.

It's the tone of the letters that is most annoying, they are quite threatening and they try to be intimidating. I can laugh it off and just bin there nonsense and ignore it, but I could see some people getting upset / intimated into paying, which is sad.

The only reason that taxis have been able to achieve any decent utilization at all is the medallion system which greatly restricts supply. Without artificially constraining supply at the expense of consumer demand, taxi utilization would be abysmal.
That is partly true, but I think it's mostly so that you can't just claim you only only watch reruns of Family Guy on E4 and therefore shouldn't have to pay.
> This seems like a good place to ask the question: how is it that we're seeing $15T of bonds worldwide trading with negative yields? [1]

We've been on a 10 year run of growing economies after the Great Recession and stocks/equities have price-to-earning (P/E) ratios that are really high—as high as what they often were before other corrections and/or recessions:

* https://www.macrotrends.net/2577/sp-500-pe-ratio-price-to-ea...

* https://www.starcapital.de/en/research/stock-market-valuatio...

> Here’s the price-earnings ratio for the S&P 500 since World War II. Right now it’s hovering a little above 25. In the past three decades, it has never reached that point without leading quickly to either a deep correction or a full-blown recession.

* https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2017/12/raw-data-the-...

So people are worried about equities and "running to safety" of bonds. But there is a lot of demand for bonds, but only a limited supply: when governments tend go to the market and ask for money, usually private investors ask "what are you willing to pay me for the use of my money?". And private investors get a positive return.

But now it's the opposite: private investors are saying "I'm so worried about my money that I am willing to pay you, the government, to hold onto it". And so private investors get a negative return—because they're worried having the money in (stock) market could be worse than a predictable negative rate from a government.

Between the Summer 2007 and November 2008 the S&P 500 dropped by (IIRC) >40% during the fiscal crisis before the Great Recession: a bond "returning" -1% isn't too bad in comparison.
Swap causes not disk decay but performance decay; the system gets unamanageably slow and would have been better off with a clean crash and failover.
> Well, if you don’t believe that it’s better for a user, at least believe it’s more efficient for us, because we only have to release one application instead of two. Efficiency is in our values.

Wow, this is some terrible reasoning. Efficiency and cardinality are orthogonal.

For a company of the size of Gitlab, releasing two apps instead of one shouldn't be much of a burden.

Now two different concerns' uptime and performance are coupled.

No wonder that Gitlab has an infamous track record when it comes to response times / uptime.

(more constructively: I'd point out that both end-users and GL developers could have an equally unified experience while the concerns remained separate. Good architecture makes it possible)
Okay, Mr. Galt.

You owe a massive amount of your economic output to others because you stand on the shoulders of people who are standing on the shoulders of people who are standing on the shoulders of people... and it's not a simple pyramid, but one giant ball of interdependence that will be thrown into chaos if a critical mass of people try to buck off their riders.

You can't pay the guy specifically holding you up, and not anyone else, because no one can truly identify their keystone supporters. So you pay a bunch of free riders, too, because that's the only way to ensure your supporters stay happy enough to carry you. And they may think that you aren't outputting anything of value to them, and they only carry you because they can't tell who's throwing all the bread down from above.

I pay freeloaders, because I don't want to fall off the ball, onto my fat ass, and fend for myself, using only what I had on hand when I dropped.

If someone engineered a more efficient society, where everyone has a useful and necessary role, for which they each have an individual advantage, and waste is unsupportable--such as for bootstrapping an off-Earth colony--I might join that, but then still accept that I will implicitly be supporting future generations of freeloaders by accumulating capital that will outlast me.

You don't want an accounting on what you are truly worth to society at large. Trust me.
According to a font designer that was commissioned to design a custom font for IKEA, they decided to go with Verdana after all due to bad webfont support at the time. (They wanted to be consistent online and in-store.)

With that said, I share your opinion on Verdana and that can definitely have played a role in their decision.
The batteries are not locked, and off-brand replacements work perfectly. There is no impediment whatsoever to repair here.

iFixit are therefore making a misstatement.

The only thing Apple is doing is not making assessments about the condition of off-brand replacements. This is pretty obvious and expected behavior.

iFixit are using a misrepresentation of this to generate publicity using the same narrative as they always do.
I have replicated the performance differentials (for Azure), and they definitely suck.

But people are REALLY REALLY expensive (not only the ongoing costs, but hiring, firing and overhead), and Cloud has another huge advantage: accounting tricks (which help a lot to said midsize firms).

Literally one of the first things they teach you at the Azure training is the difference between CapEx and OpEx: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/paths/azure-fundament...
Competing against yourself adds expense, but also gives you more ways to win. It can be better to capture more of the market and then converge products rather than letting someone else have the market. Or, if there are different specific needs in different niches in what is descriptively the same product class, don't converge and win in two markets that a naive analysis would have considered parts of the same market and lost part of by not meeting the different needs.
You'll be shocked by these eleven ways that lists about things are terrible!

Empowerment implies that users may do things with this software you don’t personally agree with or approve of.

The world is clearly better in many ways over the last 20 years - more productivity, more literacy, less crime, less poverty, more accessibility, more communication. Those improvements have also brought new problems: more radicalization, more surveillance, more exposure to “keeping up with the Jones’” that might lead to depression.

Are we creating more than we’ve solved? Maybe? There have been radicals and electric eyes online since BBS’ in the 80s, we just haven’t societally kept up with what was obviously going to happen when you drop the cost and barriers to communicating. I’m think we will fix things.
Happened at my company, where we had some policy in response to an incident, put into place by a couple of senior leaders... the policy was overly broad, but kinda made sense for the problem.

After a while, those two leaders left, and we started seeing issues that the policy was causing. However, people still stuck to the policy. When I would argue that the policy wasn't really accomplishing what it was originally intended to do anymore, I was repeatedly told it didn't matter, it was the policy. There was no one to even argue against anymore, because they were gone, but the policy remained.
This reminds me of a previous company that paid consulting fees to have their Postgres configuration tuned. When the hardware was upgraded nobody knew to review the memory settings. After a series of production outages we realized that the new Postgres servers were utilizing 16 GB of RAM when we had 128 GB available.
Certain developed country governments are considered safer than private banks and companies, which is why they can persuade people to accept negative interest rates on their bonds whereas regular private entities can’t.
If the negative interest rates go even lower, like from -1% to -2%, then you get a capital gain on your bond and can profit by selling it, instead of holding to maturity. The longer until maturity, the more your gain, so this mainly helps with long-term bonds.

(I'm not claiming this is the reason people hold these bonds, just describing the scenario where they would come out ahead vs. cash.)

If they communicate that they're eavesdropping, which is what was proposed here, it seems excessive to then claim that they're not communicating this monitoring or listening of calls in a reasonable way which would mean it's not eavesdropping.
Yep, this is a fascinating (and scary) thing to think about.

What will happen to a society where every single person has their basic needs met by some form of automation, and nobody needs to work?

I would say most first world countries are already in this scenario if so much money wasn't spent on non essentials. Industrial scale farming, mass produced pharmaceuticals, rapid house construction etc. mean that if a society wanted, you could have 10% of the population providing for the 90% (an inversion of what was the case for most of human history).

There is no precedent or example from history to show us what this will do to society. How will humans cope with not actually needing to do anything? I personally envisage a Matrix like scenario where this societal change will also usher in advances in VR and related tech. People may spend most of their time engrossed in entertainment, until eventually, they see no need to participate in the real world at all.
It's interesting to see the difference in complexity between an application in theory and examples of the actual engineering requirements. It's no different than reading Glamour magazine for makeup tips or Men's Fitness for health advice, etc. Not everyone is going to be into the same level of depth and complexity here.

In the potential failure to recognize the intended audience of these lists, I wonder if the antipattern accusation is really an antipattern (hehe). But I honestly don't know - Were these lists intended to be used as programming guides?
What does that have to do with having submitted earlier?
I think it is much easier to get out of farming with no money, than to get into it. In the US, policy has punished rural communities and farmers for a long time:

>then that means there's an unmet demand for labor in the host country

Where did you come up with that idea? Maybe you meant there is unmet demand for labor at a lower cost, or lower than minimum cost (under the table, etc). This can come at the expense of people earning moderate wages who are not going to be happy about this. A race to the bottom does have issues.
A certain glass ceiling was nicely shattered by Ardern, NZ's PM. She's boosting NZ's respect abroad even further, if that was possible.
Alot of junk out there so thinking your cleaning the air effectively with a $100 unit is hilarious. You might filter more dust but not the particles you may really need. Products like Amaircare can be attached to your entire hvac and clean all the air multiple times an hour depending up on the size. Other room purifiers can target specific things like chemicals, dander, and dust but these units cost more because you get what you pay for. If you worked in a salon or paint store all day long, there is a lot of stuff floating around. Better units have very good filter(s) which is the difference.

when I say that it should be taken to mean "you don't (and are not entitled to)". there are a few bad actors who are persistent and tools like shadow banning are very helpful with that, saying that socialism is awful isn't going to get you shadow banned.
Got discouraged by the fact that I have to introduce my credit card details to try the app. This is a no no for me and I'm sure that it will be a no no for a lot others.
This is ridiculous. We had shadow banning on reddit in 2007, four years before this was ever filed. In fact, we met with Facebook and told them about it before 2011, and they hadn't considered it before that. I'm pretty sure reddit is where they got the idea...

To be fair, there was no public record of it until 2012 or so.
It doesn't matter, GP would just have been redirected here in this case, since the recent submission already existed.

Agreed on the fractal tree. My favorite part is clicking on the comments of an article whose subject I have some experience in, and finding new areas of it I didn't know about before. I can't count how many rabbit holes I've fallen down following links to downloads, videos, and code repositories.
> I don't know when Reddit implemented it

We implemented it sometime in 2007.
That's how it should work yes. Unfortunately it doesn't actually happen like that, hence this entire discussion.
I don’t get it.

1 - there is a Mr.No guy but, the author only knows him by reputation

2 - there is a technical problem that seems to revolve around memory

3 - the author has an idea of a solution, she actually tries as people don’t believe her

4 - her solution works, but she is told the “No” guy said “no swap” once a long time ago

Her reaction:
“Did I care what he supposedly said? No.”

Why doesn’t she go talk to him ? The “No” guy could have had another solution than raising swap. He could have recognized being wrong, allow swap and learn from it. He could continue say “No” but now the author has an actual experience of it, and not just hearsay and reputation.

It seems like nobody communicates correctly in that company, the author included, and it must hurt in so many places.

Edit: fixed author’s gender, thanks
