I recall similar happening during Bush admin during 2000s. Many of our software customers were international. To obtain an export license we were required to scan our source code with an approved Dept of Commerce scan software vendor to look for all kinds of inappropriate code like a too strong cryptography algorithm in the licensing portion and plagarism of copyrighted code. The first couple of releases this was done were brutal. Many of the developers not far our of the university were used to taking anything from the internet/open source if it saved effort. There was not a clear company policy about this until the export restrictions. Sometimes there would be a half dozen chain of borrowing before a culprit turned up. We muddled through and fixed hundreds of flags. If I was the program manager, I'd schedule and export code scan every week to avoid late problems.

AI code is just another layer in this odorous process.
Interestingly the wings on a jetliner (and man-made planes in general) don’t really look anything like wings on birds or insects nor do they function in the same way.

In fact, one of the big breakthroughs in flight was to stop trying to make them like birds. Planes fly like birds in the same way that submarines swim like fish, i.e. they don’t.
Yes.. I said that? You linked the one reference for the very thing I referenced as known to be bad...
What about email signing?
Both are bad. Let's punish both. Are you up for the task? Ready to start sanctioning the US? And as long as first one gets away the others would do the same. This is how it works. Has nothing to do with good/bad because on that high level they're all big bad guys and had caused and keep causing lots of people die and suffer. They do not really give a shit as long as it advances their goals.
... that increases the purchasing power of a worker’s earnings, even if their wage has not risen.

If your boss said you're not getting a pay rise this year but that's OK because you'll still be able to buy more would you accept that as a fair and reasonable argument?

No?

Don't use it as an argument to keep poor people's wages low then.

The People of America may not want war. But the people of USA™, Inc. do. Which one are you?

>Leaders are to blame but most of the people in this world are just living their life.

The people get the leaders they deserve. This is because people are the ultimate power - convince enough people to go along with you overtly: you're a dictator. Covertly: you're a 1% of 1%'er, who knows the right strings to pull in the world.

In the end, neither of these conditions can occur unless the people, in their enthusiasm or in their apathy, allow it.
Helmets in cars aren't without issue, though. They restrict your vision and situational awareness via hearing. I was a rally driver for about 10 years, and the MSA (UK Motorsport body) banned drivers on road sections from wearing helmets - both because it was a PR nightmare, but also because of the issues with vision (in full face helmets) and hearing (although I appreciate many people have loud music on in cars, or wear headphones, etc).

Also, you really -want- to have a helmet on in a race car - you'll typically have an unpadded roll cage right by your head, and the FIA-approved padding for roll cages is designed to work well with helmets, not with heads. I used to dread long road sections on rallies as I knew that an accident would be a real mess if there was any contact with the cage. There's more room in a road car, and there's padding / airbags etc to cushion you from impact on hard structures.
What you meant to say is the propaganda has tried, and quite successfully, to make his opinions seem less informed each year.

It's funny you say that pro block-size increase people don't understand the decentralization, privacy and reliability trade-off, while the people against a block-size increase have never defined or quantified these trade-offs. And very often they also have the notion that "everyone must run a full node" that implies they don't have a good understanding of Bitcoin at all.

Ask HN: Why is there still no kill ring in “modern” OSes?
In Emacs you can “kill” text, then “yank” it later. If you kill a second, third, ..., nth time, you can cycle through the “kill ring” to yank some previous kill. Nowadays we have copy/paste from the preinternet age, and that’s it. Poor users could not possibly ever want to get to the 2nd, 3rd, ..., nth kill — only the latest. WTF?
> Attaching emotional value to math is done incredibly frequently for all sorts of reasons.

Writing alarmist articles for clicks being one of those reasons.

> Attaching emotional value to technology is also fine.

Why??? Doing this with other things would be ridiculous. For example, instead of "The poor are disproportionately affected by climate change" a journalist could write "The climate hates the poor". Which subtly plays down the human cause in all of this.

> "Machine learning is fundamentally conservative" gets the point across better

It demonstrably doesn't. If you just read this thread, you'll find enough people discussing whether "conservative" has a political meaning or just a "deviation from the norm" meaning.

Usually the way it works here is if a rider sees a kid or older person then they will slow down to walking pace and only pass when it's safe. Pedestrians still have right of way, after all.

I am not against dedicated roads for bikes (although depending on the city's density, they can just end up as a second sidewalk), but I also think it shouldn't be treated as a prerequisite for developing a bike culture.

Yes, and that was exactly my point. We (can) have laws and enforcement for the issue this article is about too.

Lots of interesting precedent to come out of it as well. By putting code on Github, an American website, as a developer are you actually exporting it? Or are the people cloning the repo reaching into America and extracting it?

If it is considered exporting, is github the exporter, or is the developer. Just like a company might produce a metal widget but another company procures and exports it, the original company that made the widget isn't the exporter.
I think the philosophy behind this is lovely, but it unfortunatly falls short in reality because the flexibility of smart phones is their entire value.

If I want a phone that allows me to make phone calls and send texts and otherwise not distract me, there are a billion £30 feature phones that will do that, and have a week+ battery life.

If I want a phone that does anything "smart" but doesn't distract me, what I consider "smart" but not "distracting" is going to be different to everyone else, to the point where you need an app store to manage all that difference. Which is why the only real option is to just manage what apps you install, manage how it interacts with you (eg notification and noise settings), regulate how you interact with it (ie stop picking it up, leave it in a different room etc), and do all that with a normal smart phone.
Per your link, the swastika is a religious symbol for a large number of people for a long time. It's strange to suggest that it is an obscenity just because a small number of people used it to mean something bad.

> Personal plug, with my current project, Loop Thesis, LAN play is the only multiplayer.

What do you mean by this? A lot of game developers seem to be obsessed with the term "LAN" but I don't really understand how that has anything to do with application level network protocols that build on IP, which does not care about physical network topology.

It is very irritating because each developer seems to have their own made-up definition of "LAN." For example, there are games that won't let you connect to IP addresses outside the private ranges. There are games that won't let you enter an IP at all, and instead require the host to be found by broadcasting on your subnet. There are games that won't let you connect across subnets for other, arbitrary reasons. And then there are many games where they use the term LAN but it has nothing at all to do with LAN and works exactly like online multiplayer in any old game -- select the host (or enter its IP) and bam you're connected, whether the connection is local or intercontinenal is none of the game's concern (this is how it should be).

I have no idea what I'm buying whenever I see a game that sells "LAN multiplayer."
It's more likely that British glass manufacturers used a different chemical.
I like the idea. However, am I the only person who haven’t used an actual phone for years and is relying mostly on internet messaging services? So we should get an e-ink phone with only messenger apps installed and simplified UI to switch between them.

Yeah, you should really have a look at the youtube video I linked to in my sibling comment. What you buy into with your position is the right of strong or the law of the jungle which is something we as humanity have been trying to overcome and shown to be less effective than cooperation.

If you don't buy into this for your own species, why do you cling to this world view in relation to other species? Have you ever considered that the universe is evolving and old practices which have worked at one point can/should be replaced by more effective ones? Just because we had cruel practices at one point, doesn't mean we should hold on to them if we notice that there are better alternatives.

And what happens then?

In the limit the only beneficiaries are shareholders, who now own all the wealth and capture all of the productivity.

You now have a choice between a neofeudal dystopia where a small percentage of the population lives like emperors while everyone else is relegated to a shanty economy where they fight over scraps, or you stop the nonsense and set up a humane economy where all productivity is redistributed and humans automatically have economic freedom as a birthright without having to work for it or inherit it.

Currently we're on our way to the first option. But the second is the only viable long-term outcome - because in the limit the wealthy will continue to play status games with wealth, and the circles of distribution will become smaller and smaller until eventually literally everything is owned by a small handful of individuals and - perhaps - their immediate families.

"Most people living outside the USA are very negative about the United States because this president is a very "bad guy""

That's a very simplistic view of people outside the USA. Unlike US news that do no mention US proxy wars, veto votes and the like, other countries are well aware of US foreign policy and the terror it brings with it, be it in south America, Africa, the middle east or elsewhere.
It does, but even if in a court you will probably win, you have to spend thousands of dollar of lawyers. This is why the patent system is unfair and should be abolished at all. It favors big companies that cross license their patents and crush the small developers, especially free software developers.

4. Regulators and the public have both grown increasingly alert for 'fake it til you make it' gambits. Regulators are more likely to intervene when companies create a public hazard (eg. Theranos, Uber's self driving program) or skirt legality with their business models (Uber, again, hmm.) The public is more likely to cynically exploit loss-leader behaviour and then jump ship once the company tries to turn a profit.

Sadly the author doesn't understand what iterating quickly means. It's not a means of achieving greater performance in a known area, but a means of finding something that works in an unknown space.

So the completely opposite argumentation would've worked. For the last 10+ years we spent iterating over several startups to find how to use this new technology of mobile and internet, and now that we have found most reasonable usecases we can slow down and optimize them.

On the other hand there are always areas we don't know much about, like in the areas of shared knowledge, in the niches. There of course quick iteration continues to be the way to go.
Americans, you need to understand this - and well: we do not compare China's concentration camps with your kiddy jails.

We compare it with the million innocent people America slaughtered in its illegal wars, and which it continues to slaughter with impunity, under the cover of its heinous "Coalition" quasi-sovereign joint task forces, which exist solely to let Americans get away with murder, while none of us are looking/able to witness the horror.

Now, on top of that, like - really seriously here - America has actual concentrations camps of its own: it's prisons.

Which nation on Earth has the highest portion of its population working as indentured slaves for less than $1 a day in a for-profit complex run by a cabal?

My answer would be: as the things are so broken, that I sometimes wonder how anything still works.

All security headers were supposed to be added by gin-contrib/secure middleware (https://github.com/gin-contrib/secure).

I have been part of an acquihire. As an early stage startup employee you work really hard for years, take salary cuts and hope that some day all the hard work will pay off. All of it will be for nothing if there isn't some kind of success/validation. In this case Digg was fairly well known but you don't get much credibility in the job market if the startup was never in the news. So if there is any form of acquisition, you get some of that brand exposure. In my case, even though we had built a great product, I rarely got inbound calls or interest in public forums. Now people reach out to me even when I haven't spent much time in the new company
Americans have already decided they cannot possibly be held responsible for the war crimes of their state, nor do they have any interest in putting their own leading war figures in the appropriate places (i.e. The Hague) - so you can expect no collective agreement from the HN scene.

But I just wanted to let you know, I have only one upvote to give, but I'll take the downvotes along with you.

We must not stand for the Western aggression to go unacknowledged, nor must we civilised people with the luxury of functioning society (i.e. bridges not yet bombed) allow the war criminals to escape justice.

Every single time the people of the USA assassinate another sovereign entities citizens around the world, it makes itself another few million enemies who would gladly shun Americans, individually, for the deeds of their state.

It is a terrible state of affairs - but rest assured, not everyone sees war as inevitable. We must resist.
What's the issue with people bragging? That's what luxury items are for. It's just a modern status symbol.

It's fairly simple, though maybe you mean you don't understand why it's good (or if it is), rather than what it is.

But all it means is "we manage the server, both physically but also its operating system, you just bring your application code and we'll run it".
Or, instead of porting Lucene, just take its main concepts such as analysis, tokenization, an in-memory trie or binary search tree, query parser, term, query and collector and implement them the way _you_ would and using whatever bit maps and other file formats _you_ see fit when serializing to disk. If you iterate enough times you'll realize that as you have grown in your capacity of understanding these concepts your code base has turned into quite an approximation of Lucene, with the same flaws and the same strengths.

If you feel Lucene is close to a global, or at least a very high local optima, then by now you know search.

Now the real fun begins, because now you get to implement your own search model as either a Lucene model or one that is supported by your own code.

There are ten or twelve really interesting problems to solve before you can call it a day. Before you're done, you'll start to see everything and I do mean everything as a search problem. Use Wikipedia as your tutor but prepare yourself to have your current world view become completely transformed, because what's a search problem, really?

What's a word? What's a phrase? What's their meaning? What's this word's meaning in the context of these other words? What's a paragraph? What's the meaning of this paragraph, in the context of these other paragraphs? What are some of the patterns we can perceive in the binary representation of our data? What are some of the patterns we can perceive in the vector space representation of our data? The answers to these questions and more lies in the search model and implementing one is the most fascinating thing there is, because no one, not even Google's top engineer, knows what the correct set of questions are.
