Maybe they have an AI that ingests thinkpieces and twitter feeds lambasting them for insufficient censorship, and based on the strength of sentiment and number of retweets apply additional censorship to the specific examples listed, with the cost function being something like f(likelihood_of_negative_public_opinion) + g(impact_on_search_quality).

If I were to do this I'd allow penalized results to resurface from time to time, and leave it up if nobody tweets too hard.

The classic prime joke (saw it originally in Sci Am back in the ... 70's? 80's?). Found an approximation when I googled it:

A mathematician, physicist, and engineer are taking a math test. One question asks "Are all odd numbers prime?"

The mathematician thinks, "3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is not prime -- nope, not all odd numbers are prime."

The physicist thinks, "3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 ... experimental error, 11 is prime, 13 is prime, yes, they're all prime."

The engineer thinks, "3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is prime, 11 is prime, ..."
This has been an issue with Netflix for years. It's almost as if the translators of movie or TV series don't have access to the videos themselves because every other sentence is slightly wrong.
I find this notion that you should be absolved of all responsibilities just because you give it away for free to be completely wrong. They should still be transparent about what they are doing.

This notion also does not translate very well to things which are not related to IT. I use a very large number of things in my daily life which I am not paying for but I still expect them to work and be safe. Or would be it be fine if I take an elevator and it falls down and kills me? Or whoops, I got a free candy which turned out to contain toxins. I guess I didn't pay for the service so why do I have some expectations for it to work or be safe?
As they should. Software IP needs a new domain of IP protection outside copyright/patent/trademark law.

This is the domain of the legislature, not the courts. We shouldn't shoehorn in an interpretation we like or don't like because of the failure of the law to adapt to new kinds of content and culture towards it.
> Yes, hence the "almost".

You can't put "almost" on a false statement and make it true. Equity isn't "almost" a loan by any stretch of the imagination, just as going to a movie isn't "almost" "making an unsecured loan to a movie theater" (if you don't enjoy the movie, you still lose your money).

> startups do get money of that magnitude that is essentially unsecured. If the startup folds, the investor loses the money, in the same way a borrower loses the money if the lender defaults.

This is stretching the meaning of debt beyond all recognition (and accuracy). The ownership that comes with seed funding doesn't just involve giving them money like debt does. First off, you're entitled to a _proportion_ to their value/revenue in perpetuity, as opposed to a fixed principal+interest as with debt. Secondly, part-ownership of a company gives you rights to the company you own beyond a revenue stream: which is why seed funders have partial control over the companies that they partially own (eg sitting on boards).

> So if there's a way to get unsecured money to startups for risky ideas without the founders having to indebt themselves for eternity, there ought to be a way to do the same for individuals wanting a college education without indebting themselves for eternity.

As I said in my comment, equity financing for humans is in its infancy, and I've been in support of it for a long time. The comparison to seed funding, however, is ludicrous, since (as I said), rights in perpetuity to income streams are not on the table, and neither is the ability to (partially) make career decisions for the recipient of the funds.

> (And therefore GPs argument was wrong.)

Nope. (see above)
I too am very interested in this, so tried searches with "macos", then "mach" and "xnu".

This led me to tentatively conclude that it's not in XNU.

On the one hand, http://newosxbook.com/src.jl?tree=xnu-1504.15.3&file=/bsd/sy... seems interesting.

On the other hand, https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/blob/0a798f6738bc1db0128... is suggested to be a red herring because of https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/blob/0a798f6738bc1db0128.... I have no idea if these are connected but they might be.

I'm not sure if my GitHub and/or Google queries aren't finding the relevant bits of magic though; had (only) a couple minutes and got curious.

As Gary Bernhardt said, and I quote often, it makes sense when it’s right half of the ass.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZQnyApKysg4
If we're going to wander off into metaphor, this seems more analogous to a doorman refusing to allow you to bring your 800lb gorilla (sneakily dressed as your child) onto the elevator.
Yes, some startups can get seed funding. If you have the right vision, product, market, team, and strategy. Assuming you know or can get introduced to the right people with the necessary capital, that you’re willing (in most cases) to give those people some degree of control and direction over your company, that you are willing to give them preferred equity in your company which will be paid first (and before you) in an exit, and a host of other technical and legal rights.

Assuming all that is true a startup can take money from investors, under a strict regulatory framework, such money which must be spent properly for the benefit of the company subject to oversight by the SEC, among others.

In short, the ability of startups to raise money is highly regulated and highly specialized work.

It’s a very different thing indeed from the essentially guaranteed issue funding which is available in the form of student loans.

But all that aside, the central point is just this. If a bank is making an underwriting decision, then the bank is setting the interest rate and taking the risk. If the loan fails to pay back, well that’s why the bank diversifies.

In the case of a federal student loan, there is no underwriting. There is no sliding scale interest rate - or if there is one it’s more likely to include subsidies for higher risk borrowers than an actual risk adjusted rate.

In return for this, it becomes a sort of super-lien which can’t be discharged. This makes sense from a theoretical perspective and even from a policy perspective as long as a college education provides a strong ROI on average.

The system breaks down when the ROI from attempting to get a degree is a wide distribution which includes a fat tail of people who see zero return on the most sizable investment they ever made or possibly will make.

IMO the solution is 1) that the repayment should always be income based, and 2) the school should have to refund a significant portion of the loan IF the tax returns of the student over the next 10 years don’t support the repayment of the loan. 3) the student pays for 15 years post-graduation maximum.
From what I can see online, there are only around 8000 reported drug users out of a population of 7 million or 0.1 %. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2018.0045...

The actual number is probably higher, but doesn't compare to the USA with 24 million drug abusers out of a population of 331 million or 7.25%. https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/nationwide-...

Which cities?

I think it is also different as well because of the climate. HK but definitely a city like Bangkok are a lot warmer and the warmth is more 24/7. In south of Spain or PT it is still warm and you can sit on the terras during the day now, but once the sun leaves it gets quite uncomfortably cold. Bangkok does not have that, so night is actually nice and comfortable to walk around it, shop, get streetfood etc.

Another difference is regulations and hygiene. In Cambodia and Thailand, even in villages you can get up 3 am and wake up someone in a stall (of which there are 20+ in a row, so you can pick) (sleeping in a hammock) to cook you food, get you a beer etc; you cannot do that in the EU.
As a fan of college basketball, I have no real love of John Calipari, but I assure you he is a profit center for the school. UK basketball takes in around $45 million in revenue and dies around $20 million in profit.

Calipari’s ~$9 million a year may seem high for a state employee, but his performance is easily measurable and comparable to others in his field.
The average 18-year-old entering college has no idea what $70k a year is. Many of them have no idea what occupation to pursue, or if it even suits them.

Many folks rou the kids taking on too much student debt, but I bet there are thousands more kids, like me, that didn't go to the prestigious school because there was no way I could fathom paying $200k (a while ago) in college tuition.
> Honestly property ownership being default-public seems like a weird anachronism

Land registry is a necessary function of local government. But this is one of those things which was historically only available within a government office, and now can be found in a second on the internet.

Personally I would be perfectly okay if my local government required disclosure of the personal ownership of LLC property owners. But I have no idea if that's constitutional or legal under federal laws.
The original argument was that education debt should not be dischargable insofar as it allows a person to increase their earnings and cannot be “stripped away” from them if and when they enter into bankruptcy. At a first glance, that’s almost reasonable (although terrifyingly vindictive and materialistic) but on closer consideration it’s not at all consistent with many other paid-for advantages (such as medical care, which though inordinately expensive, certainly does, by virtue of keeping a person alive and functional in the workplace, enhance their future earnings).

Non-dischargable debt thrust upon youngsters and carried by them like the burden of original sin for the rest of their lives must come to an end.

Good question. Clusters are special environments. Falling into a cluster means the cooler gas from a galaxy is stripped off relatively quickly, reducing star formation in most.

You should get star formation in the central massive galaxy, however, as the atmosphere should cool relatively quickly (less than a billion years). However, the central black hole appears to regulate cooling to low levels. There are filaments of star formation in many clusters like the Perseus cluster, but these appear to know more about the black hole activity (it's structures) than the sloshing. There may be some sloshing imprint, however. The scales the sloshing happens on are also important. These filaments are on small scales compared to the sloshing we see.

I would assume that the sloshing moves the cooling hot gas to one side, which might make cooling more efficient as it's further from the central black hole.
Or rather, you should stop driving your oven.
CLR was designed to support C++ since day one.

And while WASM trumps the security trumpet, without actually supporting proper bounds checking, the CLR will taint C++ pointer arithmetic as unsafe, thus making the whole module unsafe.

So I as consumer can decide if I am willing to trust an unsafe module or not.
A lot of these CV hacks work only on existing tech. If I a human can still recognize a face then it is almost certain that a better CV tool can. The bulletproof method is to wear clothing that entirely covers your face religious style clothing comes to mind. Total face covering may not be totally socially acceptable in your area but it almost certainly is more acceptable than dazzle makeup.

A fairly casual setup that looks pretty acceptable is to be riding/walking with a bike, helmet on, sunglasses on and a bandana covering the face (This is normal to stop bugs).
Yes, but I would disagree with the idea that inequality is fine because the poor have a non zero chance to success with a lot more work then the rich, yes is great that cast systems are not a thing in most countries but because the current way is better then the horrible cast system is not enough.
I guess I could have been more clear. I was not primarily discussing this particular case of what Discord is doing. Instead of I was against the notion that I cannot have any expectations because something is free.

If you want to argue that Discords measure in this case are fair then I'm fine with that, but just something like "STFU the service is free" is not enough when it comes to these companies with massive impact on society, IMO at least.

Edit: After thinking about this a bit more, I guess the point is that if they are just dropping (potentially) malicious data, or in your case not letting a gorilla through the door. This does not have anything to do with the service being free as far as I can see, they can be argued for independently.

Instead I see people defending questionable behavior by pointing out that the service is free. And the point I tried to make originally was that I would like to at least be informed about the questionable behavior, so I have a chance to take this extra "cost" into account when I select a product.

Bankruptcy is meant to be the point where the law decides the entity simply cannot pay its debts in a particular situation and what the next step(s) should be. Philosophically, if a debt cannot be discharged due to bankruptcy, isn't it really just some wacky exception to enable some form of slavery?

Are there other examples of "debt" that cannot be discharged through bankruptcy?

To answer the headline, a worthy option is to not play the game. It's another kind of optimization and often it's better to spend the effort on making your program more understandable and accessible, more correct, simpler, have more features, more iterations with user feedback, easier to change, cost less engineering-hours, etc.
I'm fairly certain that this is the default behavior of WebRTC SFUs? (all that I've seen at least) (SFU = Selective Forwarding Unit)

Unless Discord claimed they were P2P encrypted this shouldn't be a witch hunt. It's the default behavior for most WebRTC systems.

The clients establish (encrypted) connections to the SFU(s). The SFU then reads incoming data and forwards it to whichever other clients are supposed to be receiving it. However, they maintain state per client and possibly do things like transcoding audio and video if the receiving client can't handle the source quality.
I get your point, that the subject matter here isn't worth downvoting. It's like arguing whether chocolate is better than vanilla.

But I would say that failing to describe a podcast and why you like it (or specific episodes) is poor communication. It would be like a thread about food and someone saying, "Italian cuisine is great. It's delicious." I know nothing from that type of comment about what makes Italian cuisine distinctive and what attributes stand out for the commenter. There are a number of comments like that in this thread.
What was that cost for? 60k visitors is less than 1 req/sec, something a terribly small server should be able to handle with relative ease. We’re there a lot of static assets not served by a CDN or cache?

> I actually must admit I disagree that interfaces are trivial

No one is arguing that they are trivial (or "not creative" as this argument has also been posed).

There are many non-trivial (and creative) things that aren't copyrightable...for instance everything covered by patents.
Two answers. First: sure it does. It's not about the person, it's about ourselves and what things like personal attacks do to the community [1].

The second answer is more pragmatic: in practice, it's much easier to simply ask "please don't take HN threads into partisan flamewar" [2]. Everyone understands that. If we say "please don't do personal attacks" or "please don't do online shaming" about a major political figure, people mistake that for an expression of political support and object sharply. It's not worth the confusion, and I only have so much energy for explaining that it doesn't mean we're Trump supporters or communists or whatever.

Discord trying to take on Epic and Steam to create a marketplace was perhaps the worst move I've seen in the past few years. Steam is entrenched and Epic is printing money.
