I feel like this business model (which I like) is too reliant on the health of the gig-delivery ecosystem, which I get the feeling is propped up by VC money subsidizing delivery costs. Once the funding dries up and the deliveries stop flowing as easily, these types of kitchens might be in danger.
> Anyone who has only been deplatformed and is complaining that the world is becoming authoritarian needs to realize that this has always been the way of the world. Forever. There has never been a time in history when someone could voice an unpopular view or be seen as an unpopular identity and not receive public ridicule, shame, or retribution of some kind, and where companies censored no content whatsoever.

I generally agree that historically we haven't had totally free speech; however, we've been on an upward trend, and some of us are sad to see organizations at the helm of huge channels of speech using their power to prop up certain worldviews, especially somewhat extreme, fringe worldviews with questionable moral credentials (to put it charitably). We should keep the trend going; not reverse it to regress back to "the way things always have been".

> There has never been a time in history when someone could voice an unpopular view or be seen as an unpopular identity and not receive public ridicule, shame, or retribution of some kind, and where companies censored no content whatsoever.

No serious person is asking for the ability to express views without criticism, and regarding corporate censorship, utilities aren't allowed to censor speech--I support regulating social media companies as utilities. This doesn't mean social media has to be a dumb channel either; those companies could curate content so long as it's not on an explicitly ideological basis. For example, it would be fine for Twitter to promote content that is popular, so long as "popular" is determined purely by their users and not dependent upon Twitter's ideology.

> What America, and other nations who value freedom, have is a protection against government interference. Let's keep it that way and accept that people are jerks to each other and not everyone wants to hear what you have to say.

I think social media in its current state is represents a kind of threat to free speech that formerly could only be mustered by governments. Notably, there is a significant concern on both sides of the aisle that social media companies can be used to steer governments, including as an attack vector by foreign governments. These companies have unprecedented control over speech at this volume that it must be dealt with, in my humble opinion.
SQL server has had transactional DDL for as long as I remember.

MSSQL also uses per session settings as part of the cache key. This can be confusing if you think its only based on statement text and wondering why two different client are getting different plans, its because they have different settings.

The planning overhead would completely destroy some applications I have worked on. Some more complex queries execute extremely fast but take some time to plan. Its hard for me to believe planner is so much faster as to be a non issue.

Global caches are key to db performance thats why PG has shared buffers. MSSQL is single process multithreaded though while PG is process per connection so I would imagine that complicates shared data structures somewhat.

There's nothing happening in the world.

At least nothing near the scale of what was going on in prior times, nothing to important to say.

We're living so comfortably, so safely, we're so industrialized and digitalized, we get bored. We turn focus to the small trivial things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism_of_small_difference...

If you're focused on mere syntax of how someone says a word, or has an opinion, maybe it's time to reflect and show gratitude that's your schtick. Not that you're starving, looking for a safe place to live, stability, but merely some stranger with zero connection to you broadcasts an idea.

I love 2019 and thank God for it. I'm grateful we're discussing mere information etiquette on social media rather than being in a world war, a famine, a global disease pandemic, an asteroid hitting us.

This article discusses annoyances mostly about internet speech, then it goes:

> In 2018, 99 journalists were killed—21 more than in 2017. At the end of 2018, more than 250 journalists were in prison (also up from the year before) and more than 10 percent of those were being held on “false news” charges.

That's a huge leap. I don't think it's helpful to lump them together! Wow! Very dramatic though. Caught my attention!

Has anyone here ever tried meditation? I've been pondering mindfulness. Thinking deeply of what I'm grateful for.

We should close our eyes and breath. Think of how far we've come as a society. We're better than we've ever been. We should be celebrating and having parades and deeply introspecting ourselves for can we can cooperate better with each other.

Maybe we just need to give each other a big hug!

Maybe we're just one step away from peace on Earth, forever? The proof is in the pudding - we're focused on squabbles over social media. We're comfortable, organized, educated, and highly developed - just bored. I look forward to us building a space elevator.
Hey, looks like Mitsuwa is in NJ and Chicago; good to know!
Maybe just convention? It's standard practice to use stdout for directly interacting with a user and stderr for log/error type messages. You can redirect stderr to a file to get all of your log messages, but keep stdout available for interacting with the user. Super useful to separate meta-messages out in this manner.

Here's a good blog post with more info on stderr for those interested: https://www.jstorimer.com/blogs/workingwithcode/7766119-when...
Yes, go to scholar.google.com and search the name of the network. You’ll find the original paper (it will likely have many citations) which will describe the architecture in detail and have a useful diagram for you.
Each individual user isn't doing that much, just loading an asset from another site, which is fairly inconspicuous. It's when billions of users start doing it that it becomes a problem (the first D in DDoS), but any individual person isn't doing anything out of the ordinary.
> Maybe I'm wrong to consider this a zero-sum game, but surely if ISOC made a good deal selling .org that means that Ethos Capital got the short end of the stick.

The field of economics, and pretty much all monetary transactions, are about demonstrating that sales (and thus wealth) are not a zero-sum game. Whether that’s true for any particular case, such as this one, can be debated forever still, just often not based simply on that assumption.
Why was it repulsive?

Symmetrical broadband enables a lot of really interesting p2p use cases that are otherwise infeasible. Think content distribution, routing, etc. You don’t need to be part of the tech crowd to benefit from p2p software.

You're really using a gotcha by claiming to be a startup founder, but also have no employees or investors.

Yes, in your current situation your viewpoint makes sense. Once you have investors and employees that worldview is no longer tenable unless you're a sociopath. Right now you're only responsible for yourself - once that changes so will your goals (as you pointed out yourself).

I don't think we're disagreeing so much as speaking from very different perspectives.
This is missing the point. Amazon is acting anti-competitively towards the sellers currently using its platform. That is the problem, not that businesses could potentially set up their own sites. The conflict of interest is the problem; Amazon undercuts its own competitors using their data.

Maybe it is a better decision for a given business to not sell in Amazon. But that doesn’t make Amazon’s behavior any less anti-competitive. Many small-time sellers have no way to reach a large market without using Amazon to reach customers. Most people don’t go to smalltimeseller.com to buy stuff; for a large portion of consumers, online shopping is synonymous with Amazon.

This probably is more true if "Knowledge" is a representation of others' knowledge.

I notice domains. And I don't trust domains that don't end in .com, .org or a recognizable national TLD.

Besides, the point is irrelevant.

When you build an online brand, you build it by having links distributed on the web, to get the Google juice going, on social media, on forums, etc. Even in business emails you add your domain there for easy reference later.

Then if you have to change the domain, all of those links will be broken.

Nope. Just trying to help people distinguish the two businesses. PE companies acquire private companies and run them. VC companies invest in founders and they run the company.
Unskilled workers can dig through rock and concrete just fine, you just give them power tools. We don’t use them anymore not because they aren’t suitable tool for the job, but rather because they got more expensive per hour worked in the meantime, by a factor of 10-20x.
> By policing who can use software, the author's of this letter are very much going against the spirit of open source.

I'd be inclined to agree, but it's a little weird in this case because GitHub itself is proprietary software, so they've always been in the business of policing who can use it.

Contrast: if ICE were using GitLab and GitLab decided to pull the contract, ICE could just (well, "just") self-host and be on their way. Open source in practice was always more about the freedom to walk away than about collaboration, and this is reflected in the licenses. Exit rather than voice, if you will.
Again, where the hell did I say I’m the only person with rights? Could you please stop putting words into my mouth?

And again, in the cases I was alluding to, people were only terminated because of supposed “public outcry”. Without “public outcry” the companies wouldn’t have done anything. You think they actually enjoy disassociating with employees because they made some remarks on Twitter that are completely irrelevant to what they’re hired for? Think again.

So, Twitter mobs have no obligation to listen to or associate with the individuals I was talking about. Exactly. It would have been great if they disengage and left well enough alone. But nope, they’re out for blood.
This is barely worth a reply based on your tone but here we go:

(1) "Poor people make bad financial decisions" is practically a meme at this point. Why do they make those decisions? Perhaps the incessant advertising and rampant consumerism in America? Poor financial education? Why not fix those things instead of demonizing them for enjoying a few minor comforts in their lives?

(2) How does buying an iPhone have anything to do with rent? $500/yr on a phone would barely put a dent in Bay Area or LA rent. Once you include total cost of living the new iPhone is a rounding error, even in 'cheap' places, and especially if you have health problems.

(3) I'm not sure what upper middle class people you're talking about, but all of them I know have new iPhones. You don't save yourself to a $200k/yr income, that's a shitty argument pushed by the "personal financial responsibility" press to make rich people feel justified in their immorality.

You're just looking for reasons to feel justified keeping people poor. If you can't afford to eat, it's not because you're overspending on a car or a phone, you're probably driving a beater you pray every morning will get you to work.

Not only that, you're _still_ missing the point of my post. AT HOME SERVICES and CLOUD SECURITY PRODUCTS are for rich people. No poor person has a cleaner and a fucking ring doorbell, get real.
Ask HN: What home or herbal remedies have worked for you?
The effectiveness of many ancient medicines, like those practiced in ancient India, China or by the tribes of South America, has not been scientifically validated. But this does not mean they do not work. On the flip side, there's a lot of snake oil selling going on there. So what has worked for you?
You can serve your customers and make a profit either way because you have effectively a monopoly. In the example of social media, you see FB now open and even advocating the government regulate social media - because it only makes it that much harder for the new guy to jump through the hoops whereas FB is already at more than critical mass.

I think your second point is overly simplifying a lot of complexity. I agree that government has this coercive function... However, it’s also true that unchecked private enterprise ends up influencing that government to meet their own special interests. You want to promote the former, but the former ends up making the large campaign contributions so they can have legislation written in their favor... laws that apply to the common person don’t apply to these big corporations. Hence, we socialize losses but privatize profits. The fat cats go to prisons (if ever) that are potentially comparable to high end hotels, nicer than the homes of many ordinary citizens.

The idea is that if you can internalize your acceptance of mortality, you will make better life decisions.

Living like you're immortal until you're not is how people end up on their death bed regretting how they spent their time on earth. Like arguing on HN instead of calling your mother.

Living like you're mortal, to me, suggests someone who lives in the moment and maximizes their life fulfillment. Not someone who lives in fear of death, which I'd argue is why we spend so much time living like we're immortal.
> Were sweatshop workers in New York City free? Ranch hand employees out west? Chinese railroad workers in the USA?

Slaves were definitionally not free under the law - their bodies were property of masters, just like farm animals were. If those slaves escaped their owners, they were legally allowed to be hunted down and returned.

That is a fundamental difference than the sweatshop, railway, or other workers, even though those workers were also abused by their employers. They still had the option to walk away, even if it meant accepting the destitution as a result. Lots of them did walk away and starve. Some toiled away as workers generation upon generation. A few went on to build great wealth and influence, as is evidenced by the rise of the early industrialist families of the United States.

> Are starving workers freer than well fed slaves?

Absolutely, and that doesn't excuse a system that lets free workers starve, just as a full stomach does not excuse the enslavement of humans.
> .Net Core isn’t “new”. It’s been around since 2016 and the direction that Microsoft is headed in.

And yet most of those RFP keep referring to stuff like .NET Framework 4.6 and .NET 4.7.1.

As for the job, luckily Europe is not as bad as US in what concerns ageism.

Over 40 here as well and so far no problems switching jobs, because I always strived not to be labelled as only being good at technology X, without anything else to offer.

My advice is to diversify domain knowledge, master soft skills, be able to jump between developer, QA and technical lead roles across delivery sprints, and most customers will find less relevant how well one masters the very latest version of technology X, rather what is the business value one brings to the organization.

And some of them, do value a lot that one is able to keep that old clunky VB 6 application running, instead of sinking several thousand euros attempting an half-baked rewrite into the latest stack trend, and do pay accordingly as well.
Plenty of users check other users' profiles, just as you did.

I don't know about AMP discussions elsewhere, but HN is certainly not shutting them down. We've had two huge threads in the last two days (this one and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21703345), and half a dozen other ones this year alone. That makes it an extremely well-covered topic here. In fact, HN moderators usually downweight threads that relitigate already-well-covered topics, and we do that less in this case. Most likely there are many HN users who are tired of these AMP debates, since they're not used to seeing so much repetition here.

Debate is fine, attacking other users breaks the site guidelines, we ban accounts that do that, please don't.
Can someone comment on how to use knowledge graphs for search? I have seen some applications in NLP but I am curious how it can tie in with traditional search.
From the article :

"Mitigations

These attacks would not be successful if the following resources were served over HTTPS instead of HTTP:

You may want to consider blocking these URLs when not sent over HTTPS."
My argument is so what?

That's what living in a nation with the First means. People can protest you, even for frivolous reasons. I could go organize an online protest against Mattel because I want a Malibu Barbie with stripper heels and poles.

The Constitution doesn't dictate how I use my rights, it only says that the government can't interfere with them. That's the line that can't be crossed.

Now if Twitter finds my request for Malibu Barbie Stripper Heels and Poles ridiculous and wants to get rid of me, that's their right.

Why? Because Freedom of Association is implicit in the First. And Twitter may decide that my request for Malibu Barbie Stripper Heels and Poles crosses a line that it isn't comfortable with.

Finally, I fully realize that Malibu Barbie Stripper Heels and Poles is obviously a ludicrous and trivial idea that Twitter would not even bother banning me for, but you get the idea. Some social justice warrior might come along and be offended by it and go on a crusade etc etc etc. But that's their right is the point.

I understand why public figures have no recourse to slander and lies, but it doesn’t make it fair. It’s only just in that protecting the powerless against armies of lawyers from the powerful, is the best we can do. But allowing damaging lies to go unpunished is certainly a black eye for justice.
I still use Chromium (and Iridium, a derivative that hopefully doesn't send info to Google), specifically on OpenBSD, for reasons summarized here (lower chance of privilege escalation, limiting bad behavior): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21566041

(...and discussed further in the parents of the above link, like: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21559122 or the full recent related discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21557309 ).

Given which, I might switch to Firefox for some uses after the next OpenBSD release where it will have pledlge/unveil support (preventing it from accessing the computer beyond config-specified limits).

Edit: One thing I wish I knew about firefox is a way, without extensions/add-ons, to limit which sites can use javascript/images/etc., and/or to open multiple config tabs at once to quickly turn those on by exception for occasional specific sites, as I do with chrome. Exception lists, even better. This was discussed a little bit at those above links.

And even when doing aerials, you don't even need any kind of certifications or permits because you are never going past phone line height towards power.

Yes, the idea of liberty (for everyone to use free software regardless of intent) and the liberty of immigrants in the US to live without harassment and terrorism of their communities are indeed in conflict. So you have to choose one. By not choosing one, you're choosing the existing system -- ICE uses this software to accomplish these goals.

We're not trying to infringe on ICE/CBP's ability to use popular open-source software. We're simply asking some companies not to help them with support contracts.

Hope this helps!
> With big integers, the logic is simple: if you use little endian, you can operate on the same memory representation of the bigints quite easily with machine integers of different sizes.

That's true with big endian too, but you just have to store your integers in the opposite way as you would on little endian: with the MSB at the lowest address (which of course is the same as the distinction between little and big endian in the first place).

Basically the bigint layout has to be compatible with the the endianess.

I don't know what bignum implementations do in practice on big endian systems though.
