What's missing from this dialogue is the idea that Twitter is fundamentally a political organization, just as a soapbox is a political tool
Well, they should have repatriated it. The only reason they're not is because they're hoping to get a one-time tax cut from a Republican administration, and with the amount of money involved it was worth it to wait out Obama, who wouldn't have any of it.

If this is intended to make a §230 argument, consider that its reason d'etre is based on the complete impracticality of pre-clearing user generated content.

The practical considerations differ by orders of magnitude when we're talking about paid advertisements.
“The truth” as applied to the realm of politics is very often something of substantial controversy and disagreement.

Asking a corporation to be in charge of arbitrating those disagreements doesn’t seem like the end game these politicians are actually pursuing here. Instead my interpretation of their motivation is to silence their opposition.

They are trying to setup a system where they are gatekeepers of these political disagreements, ignoring the fact that the same system will almost certainly be weaponized against them.

For what it’s worth I’m on the same “side” as these politicians for many issues, I just feel like they are playing a dangerous game here.
Just curious, what's your solution to frauds and bot clicks on static images without client side scripting/cross site tracking?
Can you make your political bias any more obvious? Compromise is a way of life unless you turn everything into a life or death, good or bad, moral or immoral decision so that you can claim the virtuous high ground as a way to justify your means in the name of your ends
Is there any numerical analysis in here at all or just stories? Because the anecdotes make no sense to me. What is the comparison between discussions of traveling to Europe and being afraid to talk to the professor? (My first reaction to discussions about travel to Europe is often to point out that I don’t even like to leave the state. Is that a sign of lack of privilege or maybe an excess of privilege?)
Well as I stated, I agree that an outright ban on outside work isn’t fair. So I do agree with you that it’s a little ridiculous the way the system is currently set up.

Also, I think the ncaa rulemaking concerns use of the athlete’s likeness — I’m pretty sure that would cover the school’s own use to promote their programs so in fact I think it means that the schools would also be paying the student athlete for that use. And that becomes the problem - in its current form it’s not well thought out.

But my point is slightly different: I’m saying the policy disproportionately impacts a few athletes at a few top schools. And doesn’t resolve the issue of allowing students the ability to earn an income if they need to or desire to. The ncaa is trying to thread a needle and in doing so is making bad policy. The only athletes who stand to benefit are going pro anyway... you’re telling me they can’t wait a few years and simply focus on their degree and supporting their school’s program?

I'm not sure it's normal. When I was in school (before I failed out pretty quickly) no one would bother to give me the time of day. By the time I was able to see someone about my academic progress I was at the point in the semester I had to drop. This is after performing very well in my schooling before university.

Before that there was a spat where I was not able to get """documentation""" quickly enough and now have grades that follow me around and prevent me from taking scholarships.

It's fucked.
Better yet: make the school liable for the loans if the student defaults.

I also only follow people with very high signal to noise ratio, and it works for me. I will use the option to "Turn off retweets" from people who retweet useless fluff but tweet good stuff.

What I would love is a button that temporarily removes the the retweets and/or tweets of a person from my timeline. Some people will on certain days get really passionate about an issue I don't care about and don't want to see 20 tweets from them, when their daily average is 1.
You could swap the two and your words still holds true. It means nothing. There is no substance to what you said. There's even some group, Maga I think it is, there is no equivalent for women. Who's getting sick of who?

All I see is individuals being more choosey. People ghost both ways now a day. No gender does it more than the other.

Given many republicans do not agree that climate change is caused by humans, I don't see the substance of your point.
Also, if you already know at least one, choose the one you know best.
No that’s not my argument at all. I’m saying the policy doesn’t help most student athletes - only those whose programs already benefit from large budgets. And really only the stars... you think Nike is going to pay some back bencher at a nationally ranked program for use of his likeness?
Someone need to generate the wealth in order to subsidised healthcare and even these days most "productive" jobs are done by men. We just collect the taxes and spread them to the rest of the population, mainly women and children who doesn't contribute much to real production of wealth.

Women don't create new businesses, they don't do physical jobs, they hardly innovate, they hardly participate in engineering and technology, they don't maintain our infrastructure and they don't produce most food. Women still work mostly in care taking jobs and value transference jobs like law, marketing, HR or banking. Many of them work for the government and get payed by taxes from this real value that men create.

So you still need men very much, it is just that men contribution is now masked by all kind of isms and ideologies but the hard facts are that men are still the providers for this society.
Those burns release a lot of pollution and CO2. I've always wondered if it was possible to collect the brush and dry plants and burn them more usefully for energy.
I should also mention that very many poets and remarkable works have due to matters of popular taste, etc has failed to secure a firm place in the cannon as it is now. So I think considering the cannon, older works and poets need continual relook and re-evaluation. Poets like Edward Young, Walter Scott, perhaps even Dryden, etc may fall into such a category. Even works of 20 century poets like Ezra Pound and Philip Larkin, aren't that popularly known to general readers.

I find the cannon limiting, for the reason that it does not cover enough of the past, it makes a narrow representative selection that misses out many unique and eccentric voices of their time.
Yes, people are fine with all sorts of murders and other atrocities taking place, as long as its not happening to them. As long as the right kind of people suffer. Your phrasing is wrong, of course, because you're conflating support for something with committing the act yourself, but you're not too far off the mark.
> I think making this conclusion from the data in the linked adblock report is a bizarre interpretation of that data.

How so? One of the big pros every ad blocker advertises is "faster page loads". Slow page loads is very much an incentive to get an ad blocker. It's just how Google working with betterads.org to implement an Ad Blocker for outrageous ads in Chrome.

The first post also has parts where he explains how even by contemporary standards it was cruel. That doesn't excuse the attitude that we often hold, that we are the most morally evolved and have the right to judge.

I don't think the implied ad hominem is necessary or useful here. I meant what I said and I don't think there's any overt virtue signaling. The author was awarded a PhD in 2018 on Roman history so I think the author is well-versed and strongly opinionated, no virtue signaling there.

The sibling comment about admiration I think has an important point. We don't need a universe that's perfectly in balance, which is to say that if Sparta is romanticized I don't think it's necessary that we demonize them to balance the scales. Of course it's important to understand what they did and know the whole story, and what the author does to disillusion about 300 is good work. However, at least this first article is written in a persuasive way rather than an informative one, the author clearly wants us to be on his side about how awful the Spartans were rather than just inform us so we understand what we might be admiring. Another sibling comment said that the outrageism goes down in later articles, so maybe they're different and worth a good read.
I'm not sure whether this paper is a great overlooked observation or a trivial result that one can prove with a couple diagrams and no calculation at all. Maybe it's both :)

If you assume all orbits are spherical, then the distance from your planet to the sun is 1 AU.

Now draw a graph, with the sun at the origin, our planet P at 1 AU 'below' the sun, and the other planet P' going around in a circle at distance R around the sun. Now draw a right triangle, with the sun at a near corner, the other planet P' at the far corner, and one of the short sides pointed straight at our planet P.

__x__P' (t2)
| /
y /
| /
|/
sun
|\
y| \
| \
|_x_\
| P' (t1)
P

You can see that the y-distance of the planet from the sun exactly averages out to zero - half the time it's on the far side, half the time it's near. Therefore the y-distance from our planet to the other planet always averages out to exactly 1 AU.

However, the x-component is sometimes to the 'left' and sometimes to the 'right' of P. We know from the triangle inequality that |y + x| >= |x|, so the x component always makes the distance between P and P' larger than it would otherwise be, therefore the average must be larger than 1 AU, and this discrepancy grows with the radius of the other planet P'.
I don't disagree, but this was a very narrow, and IMHO naive analysis.

PG&E is screwed because of years of graft and mismanagement. But now also because they are now (thank you) saddled with decades of deferred maintenance (technical debt) and lawsuits (thank you). But they can't raise rates and they can't generate more revenue. So the only path is cutting costs (corners) more. So... guess what isn't getting fixed anytime soon.

The "affordable" housing crisis is not a crisis, it's a bubble. Again (2007). Again (1999). It will, again probably, fix itself but at the great expense of mass foreclosures when it pops.

The fires are as much a constant as they are an effect of mismanagement and inattention to the fact that Californian's love to build sorta very super expensive suburban homes in the middle of tinder dry scrub-waste-land.

Whatever you blame on climate change, this is not it. This is building high-density in the desert with blinders on. And blaming "Climate Change" isn't going to clear the brush. Which BTW, we already pay the state, county and cities large sums of taxes and fees to do. But (see PG&E) they don't. They neglect more and more of the work to pad more and more of the bureaucrat salaries, so they in turn can barely afford to scrape by in the "overpriced" housing markets (and also afford to drive Audis/Teslas/Range Rovers, etc.).

So yes, California is becoming unlivable. And it's due to it having become ungovernable and economically unsustainable.
That might be the source of the Statista data, as it too only goes back to 2010. The data on km traveled by bike seems to agree with the 2.5 km figure in the original article.

The question is where the black-background graphs came from, as they have data from 2006. Particularly the first as the 1.5 km average is very different from the 2.5 km national average.
Ask HN: How do you organize and manage database migrations?
When building services that rely on relational databases, in my case postgres, what are some best practices and tools to help manage schema changes?

We've been using migrations and doing it all manually but it's become a bottleneck and a little bit of a nightmare with multiple consumers of the database needing to make schema changes.

Another concern is multiple environments, from local development to staging and production. We're using docker-compose for local development which runs the entire "full" schema and then I'm manually applying the migration files to staging and production before we deploy.

I've looked at some projects like flywaydb[1] and liquibase[2] but both are not completely free and seem proprietary. Does anyone know of another open source system that could help manage database schema versioning and migrations?

Thanks so much HN, this is something that I have been struggling with.

Housing prices (both buying and renting) are rising faster than inflation or wage growth and occupancy rates are high. That means demand is outstripping supply. We aren't adding housing fast enough to keep up with demand.

And Atlanta added far fewer units in 2018 than 2017 (you can Google the numbers) so we're actually slowing the rate at which we're adding housing.

>There’s only one time in the past 30 years where housing prices dropped and people lost money. It wasn’t because of NIMBYism.

When did I imply that NIMBYism caused housing prices to drop. I said the exact opposite.

> not one had a non male aggressor

Decades ago I briefly dated an extremely physically abusive woman. Nearly killed me a couple times. I ended it. Not a single person has the slightest bit of sympathy over this. I've never struck a woman but maybe I should have in self defense. If I had though I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever I would have been reported, arrested, and imprisoned, regardless of all facts.
I would expect that to require an extremely huge amount of money and be impractical.

Candidates + parties + PACs + lobbying + think tanks + advocacy organizations spent $10B in 2018 in the US, whereas the US almond industry made $12B in 2018. So I expect political spending to not be able to change ad prices very much compared to commercial ad spending.

You did not answer the question of SIZE_MAX being the limit. So here it is once again:

> Doesn't it imply that it must be finite, because you can use sizeof() to find its size, which yields something of type size_t, which has maximum size SIZE_MAX?
> It’s basic economics

Yes it is! An employee only produces so much value. You don’t raise a salary beyond that no matter how limited supply is.
I agree and in one of my replies I acknowledge that. It's okay to admire but you have to understand what you are admiring and its context. A very good recent example is that the Nazis were the first government to acknowledge that smoking is bad, and they had strong animal rights positions as well as decent policies on environmentalism.

Nobody would argue that these footnotes mean we can overlook what they did, but what they did doesn't invalidate (emphasis) the good they did. It definitely outweighs it!

If we weren't allowed to admire then what do we do? Even saintly figures have blemishes.
For nearly a decade, Donald Trump said Obama was not born in America, despite that being objectively false. Is that a position that shouldn't be silenced? What value does that objectively false assertion add to society? In 2016, pro-Trump ads targeted black voters with ads indicating the wrong day to go vote, with the goal of suppressing the black vote. What value did those objectively false assertions add to society. Why shouldn't they be silenced?

I’m not saying that the current system is fair. What I am saying is that the minute you make a student athlete a professional then it’s a logical outcome that the value of their entire scholarship is taxable - did you consider that in your remarks? I’m not defending the lack of fairness in the current system, I’m saying the policy is a half attempt at reform and not well constructed. In my view, it’s dumb to say a student athlete can’t work hard, can’t be a good student and can’t be a amateur athlete at the same time. Clearly they should be able to be all three... but there’s probably a better way to do it and one that’s fair and doesn’t saddle athletes with unnecessary tax consequences.
Some kind of statistical analysis of online clicks versus uptick in actual sales in, and slightly beyond, the time window of the advertising campaign.

Base payment scales on impartial ratings of website popularity.

I'm harshly anti-ads (for a swathe of reasons), but the problems of ad-fraud is an internet-unique problem. Advertising campaigns on TV, Radio, and paper mediums didn't track views (clicks didn't exist, my gosh!). An assumed value was given to the advertising based on the popularity of the particular TV show, radio program, magazine type, etc. AND the ads were generally targeted to the audience of the medium.

The advertising industry had this problem solved before it even became a problem. They wanted more, and are whinging about people blocking their methods to gain this 'more'.

f90 introduced recursion and allocatable (dynamically sized) arrays.

So (in reference to tombert's comment), f90 and beyond doesn't have those limitations. It also introduced conveniences like operator overloading and element-wise array operations, so I think it's a really simple/convenient language for basic scientific computing, if you want to code up some algorithm.
That said, I always reach for Julia instead.

Shareholders profiting from a corporations externalizing their costs is not a natural disaster.
This is an extremely bad example for two reasons:

- one: you are bringing religion into a discussion where it isn't necessary

- two: it hangs in a frame where a causual passer-by might think this is usual. I mean: if I write "if the rabbits chases the cats and the dogs do nothing" an hypothetical reader who knows nothing about cats and rabbits might easily get the idea that this is a common occurrence, while in fact it is fact a very unusual one.
> Advertising exists. You can't make it go away.

That sounds like a challenge. :)

FWIW I agree with OP, I block all ads, where ever I can. On web pages, and even when streaming live TV.

I have never agreed to view ads in exchange for viewing content. Advertisers and site masters may think there is a self evident implied agreement, but I do not.

Advertising, no matter how or why it is served, always tries to steal your attention and force a mental context switch.

Filtering this out using your mind is just tiresome and frustrating.
Sports-focused publication's writers quit after being ordered to stick to sports
These things are always carefully rewritten to try to soften the essential ugliness of the whole endeavor, but the effort never quite succeeds. Some of it must be to avoid distracting from the drama of the story, but the rest must, I think, be simply the habit of deception. Re-reading, carefully, we can find the chinks where the truth has been sealed off.

The most essential activity of spycraft, always and everywhere, is extortion. It may be in what we think is a good cause, but spycraft doesn't care. In this case, all these people executed or driven to suicide got there in service of protecting what was, in the end, a doomed republic, betrayed not by spies but by its own hope that appeasement might mean peace. They incidentally handed over to Germany all the armament built to defend themselves. Germany used Czech tanks, and probably no small number of Czech soldiery, to invade France.

I predict it will turn out, in the fullness of time, that the coroner who ruled Epstein's death was suicide was compelled to that conclusion, not by the facts, but by some threat, from somebody served by his death. No republic is defended by the compulsion, but the overwhelming majority of people taught the practice were taught in service of government. Once taught, they go on to a career of it, somewhere.
I supported feminism as it was originally explained to me, as against violent and abusive dictatorial strictly patriarchal systems insidiously designed to suppress and oppress minority viewpoints and ways.

But since then I've realized there are many other things that feminism means to people. It's not a great label as it doesn't mean anything in particular. Some variants are definitely bigoted hate against a certain gender. I don't agree with those. Diffusion of label-meaning: what can be done about this. For me... be a label-skeptic. Irrelevant, though no one cares. Only mindless labels matter in the great big wide world.

Salesforce seems like a particularly bad solution, you end up with a small army of high priced, low skilled salesforce contractors and a heap of vendor lock in.
Other folks have mentioned things you missed, here's another: insider threats.

A authentication event requiring a hardware token is significantly harder to deny, especially if used again by the legitimate user after the questionable event. So any insider attacks that are not last-hurrahs or one-shots plausibly explained by theft are significantly riskier.
