The fairness doctrine was only constitutional because there were a limited number of channels (Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC), and it was impossible for anyone else to create one due to FCC regulations. I genuinely doubt that it would be constitutional today with cable television, let alone the internet.
I actually think the infinite loop, while frustrating, is a good sign! As a kid I had a recurring dream just about every night (I’m talking years) about infinite escalators. I’d ride an escalator up and get off only to find several more to choose from to continue riding up. No matter what escalators I chose there were always more. No end. No way out. It was pretty stressful for my elementary school self.

I had a psychologist relative who tried to help me with my “nightmares” by telling me to just accept the escalator dream instead of being frustrated by it. Somehow it worked, instead of getting frustrated by the endless escalators I eventually figured out how to just dutifully ride in peace until I woke up.

Of course that was super boring, but once I stopped frantically searching for the “right way” to do the escalators I started to figure out all the cool things I could do to entertain myself on the infinite escalator rides. I still use an escalator to “start” my lucid dreams if that makes sense. Maybe you’ll similarly take the train to lucid dreams?

All that is to say that I think the loops are actually the perfect way to practice if you can manage to abandon the problem-solving urge. Easier said than done, I know. Best of luck!

Seriously, the amount of time people who pretend to be hard and rational loose their minds over things like "one syllable."

> Persian, for example, is a genderless language: it has no 'he' or 'her,' no 'waiter' or 'waitress,' no 'actor' or 'actress.' And yet I think most folks would say that Iran is far less gender-neutral than any English-speaking country.

That's a straw man. Asking for gender-neutral terms when referring to groups of people does not equate to asking for gender-neutral culture. Take it from a trans person, that is _not_ what most of us are asking for.

What datasource are you using? I've only used Grafana as a visualizer and use other alerting/monitoring against that datasources. At my current employer, Prometheus is the data source and we use Alert Manager which allows us to write alerts in PromQL which is very flexible.
Great. This seems like a good place to wrap up then.

I think we can both conclude that automated censorship systems will fail because they fail to capture "context clues, human judgement, imperfection, inaccuracy".

And, I think you'll agree, proactive censorship systems are authoritarian by default (even if that authority is private). Their purpose is prevention not resolution. In that sense, there can be no trial, no jury, no judge, not even a plaintiff to accuse you.

So we move on from the corporate world and enter the legal world. The world of government. How best to determine and punish hate speech? Does intent matter if the offense was deep and damaging? Do you jail the author? Fine them? Destroy their works? I think no matter which path you choose you can draw comparisons to every totalitarian government that has ever graced this earth.

If I am nothing else I am a humanist. I believe in the progress of humanity -- all humanity. You, your friends, and the white supremacists who post pepe memes to scare and annoy them.

Time is long. Systems that we put in place now will be with us for generations. Society's attitudes will shift -- for better or worse. The only thing protecting us from each other are the systems we agree to. The systems that permit the most freedom at the least harm.

In my mind, there is no censorship device that can withstand time.

That's all I have to say. Best of luck to you.
As someone who has hired many engineers and PMs, and runs a hiring budget today, there are some reasons to feel at least fairly secure if you're an engineer at a growing company:

- Building a high-quality product is a longterm investment and most technology companies know that. As a result, in my experience companies who expect growth would always prefer to keep engineers and PMs as investments.

- Companies generally find it hard to hire Engineers and PMs that meet their standards, especially in competitive markets like the SFBA, NYC, Boulder/Denver, Seattle, Austin etc. (You can argue whether that's caused by overly stringent hiring standards - that's a much more complex question). As a result, companies are somewhat more likely to "hoard" engineers if they expect that they'll need them to grow.

- Because engineers in these markets are expensive, it makes economic sense to spend to improve their productivity. If I have 100 engineers on my team and I can make them all just 1% more productive by hiring an additional engineer who focuses solely on internal tools or open source libraries that improve developer QoL, that's arguably money well spent.

- Many products at scale are more complex than one might expect from the outside, which demands a lot of ongoing product/engineering effort to maintain. If you're working on something that has a credible path to revenue or clearly makes/saves money now, your job is probably fairly safe.

This all assumes that 1) the company wants to keep you, and 2) the company is growing, even modestly. Once the financials go downhill companies will cut directly to the bone in order to survive, and at that point nobody in any industry is safe.

Ask HN: How Do You Find/Curate Academic Papers?
After discovering Sci-Hub I am excitedly diving back into reading academic papers. Fellow HN denizens, what do you use for finding papers that interest you?

I have used sciencedaily.com for general news that sources directly from articles and journals, is there anything similar around for other areas, or niches, maybe something like a website or newsletter with articles of interest? For instance I enjoy reading research papers around political science and international relations, but also would love to explore things around UI/UX.

Pray tell, what do you use?
To be fair, I was acknowledging a common criticism for the purpose of refuting it.

My purposes for doing so are a combination of fighting against the tendency to underrate the importance of the Internet and, and this second factor is a little unfortunate, pre-emptive innoculation against a genre of attack that I'd be exposed to professionally if I were to jump immediately into "HN has positively changed the course of my life for the better and is one of the best communities on the Internet."
React Considered Harmful
Yeah, but RDRAM gave them one big benefit: Even with the price premium of RDRAM back then, it was the cheapest route to getting 500mb/sec of memory bandwidth.

The Playstation by comparison used EDO (Based on eyeballing the pictures on wikipedia, baseline was 70ns/60ns for CPU and Video memory.) But, It's main bus was under 133mb/sec, and the fastest it could read from CD was 300kb/sec.

EDO Memory would have kneecapped the N64 from a memory bandwidth standpoint. The cartridge bus alone is over 200mb/sec. SDRAM -might- have done the job but may have wound up being more expensive; PC-66 (we are at the infancy of SDR in 1996) would have meant a PCB with 8 chips laid out for the parallel bus. To be frank I'm not sure Nintendo could have even gotten such a configuration (i.e. 8 512KB PC-66 chips.)

RDRAM was definitely a design compromise, but in retrospect I understand it's use in keeping overall costs down.

Dedicated video ram would have been a better option however, but I think it was another cost issue.
Just want to say: thank you for testify!

No. You're assuming that a particular sort of imaginary market dynamic overrides any and every other motivation anyone might have. That is nonsense.

If they can make 2% more by selling out half their users and giving them inferior results to serve the interests of somebody or something willing to pay Google money to screw over the users, they will do that without an instant of hesitation, in the absence of oversight. They are in an absence of oversight.

You are wildly in error to believe that people magically can tell they're not being harmed. People absolutely have no idea whether they are being 'given the best' anything possible, much less something like search results (or information in general).

It is highly profitable to screw over mass audiences for one's own benefit and there's largely no mechanism to prevent this… again, in the absence of oversight.

Rise And Grind, Bitch: The Joy of Hustle Culture
I dunno. I realize Balmer peak is a semi-joke, but I really enjoy bowling and used to go once a week or so with friends. Some days we'd get a pitcher of beer, some times we wouldn't. My third game is reliably better if we bought a pitcher. So who knows! Lots of confounding questions there. (three beers, though, my bowling probably gets much worse reliably)
Actually, I accidentally found I am better at pool with like 3/4 of a beer. Something about being in that relaxed but pre-inebriated state.

What Happened at UserLand
For what it's worth, this isn't unique to unicorns. Almost company successful enough to get to the scale of tens of thousands of employees likely has huge amounts of waste within it. The situation you describe of niche projects being scrapped after several person-years of effort had been invested, incomprehensible management hierarchy, and no coherent strategy perfectly matches my first job out of college, a year at Sprint in 1999. Me and two other new hires spent a year doing next to nothing on a team of 20+ building a complicated Java service with a purpose I never understood, but which had been going on for about a year, with half the team made up of contractors. Pretty sure I never wrote any actual code, though I did have to fill out time sheets every week. I had two managers, neither of whom I ever talked to. After a year, I got a 15% raise and a promotion. Then soon after I found another job and quit, our project got cancelled, but everyone on the team just got moved to other teams doing similar "work".

"sharing things like photos between apps becomes tricky."

That's a solved problem. Apps on iOS can request access to the photo library. Why Apple still doesn't allow write access to the music library is frustrating.

Well, you know how MobX itself is very unopinionated? MST is very structured and opinionated. It's also immutable which means you get snapshots of every mutation to the tree which is very useful in almost all cases.
I'm actually inclined to disagree here -- I think after a couple of beers it's reasonable to assume someone might be better at pool. Firstly you're both physically and mentally more relaxed and often more confident too so I think it's completely plauisble theres a couple of beers sweet spot for playing pool.
That’s quite the endorsement.
That sounds like a rationalization. If there was a gift box sitting on your counter that when opened would make all of your wildest dream come true, would you procrastinate opening it? Again, all you would have to do is take 10 seconds to open it.

don't feel bad, a lot of people working at Big N companies have a lot of those interview qs memorized.

most interview questions you get are variants on a few themes (DP, binary trees, sorting, etc, etc). if you can do a few problems from every theme on autopilot (through a shit ton of practice) you'll be able to do the variants.
They could even do it with less churn, because of https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/conf/opti... FreeBSD easily achieves binary compatibility with earlier versions. So no need to mess around with DKMS or their own thing. Or at least less so.

The API changes impact 3rd party apps that deal with segment and segment leaderboard data. That is not trivial and surely the reason many people use veloviewer. Seems as though 3rd party apps focused on aggregate stats and exploration (statshunters, wandrer.earth, veloviewer's explorer tiles feature) will not be impacted afaict. When I first read the post, my heart sank as these 3rd party exploration layers have given me a whole new reason to ride.
I do some hiring and we offer either whiteboarding or a take-home exercise, because of this exact situation. Anyone that you would enjoy working for would probably provide accommodations if you told them in-person whiteboarding gives you anxiety.

Also, we generally use whiteboarding as a way to understand how a person works, if they are on the track that's good enough. I would focus on getting better programming in general, by doing it, study interview questions for whatever you are interviewing for, and then try to take the pressure off yourself. It's ok to have imperfect whiteboard answers and the stress of the situation can make it harder.
Only one approach to procrastination has worked for me: lack of rational thought. The only conscious deliberation I allow is the decision of whether or not I should do something, after that i just _do_. No further thought required. If I catch myself thinking about it, I stop myself and just act, the decision was already made. Sometimes, rational thought is overused.
I wish responses would specify their gender and if they are in a heterosexual or same sex relationship. It would be easier to frame where these answers are coming from.

> But as an example, with the whole 50 Cent Army, a few people have heard convincing arguments from them and turned into unwitting (or otherwise) propagators of the same rhetoric.

The 50 Cent Army posts pro-Chinese propaganda on Chinese websites. Do we have any evidence that the 50 Cent Army posts on English websites? I can't imagine it being that difficult to produce given that we traced Russian propaganda. Forgive my snark, but it sounds like you are unwitting propagating rhetoric that designed to dismiss anything that defends China.

If you're interested in what the 50 cent army actually does, Harvard published a paper about it. It turns out that China rarely actually engages in argument, but rather tries to distract people, so they think about other things.

I think the case for parental leave is pretty obvious: we want healthy children. Not only are babies difficult to take care of, but frequently want to be constantly held. If you want a healthy society and to ensure that your next generation: is healthy, has more opportunities to climb the ladder, lower crime rates (more healthy home environments), etc, then you want parental leave.

I don't think anyone on the left disagrees. But I don't understand why the right shouldn't. These things also make a lot of economic sense. It is like a mutual fund where we're investing in our next generation. Returns are even proportional to your investment. If you're wealthy you're likely to either own a business or stocks (or both!). You get a return by efficient workers who make businesses grow. This has a clear effect on GDP (I'd actually give similar arguments for education and health care, but I don't want to deviate too much from the topic (p.s. I don't identify as a socialist either)).

As to why I'm saying parental leave and not just maternity leave, I'm worried about consequences of just maternity leave. Having just maternity leave does generate bias towards women because... well women are the only ones that give birth. On the other hand, a parental leave should generate less bias because males will have to be given the same leave (I don't think it'll completely wash out the bias towards women, but I suspect it would decrease it). This should also have obvious consequences of reducing stress in relationships (again, leading to lower crime because better households) and especially less stress for women, who are (given social norms) the primary care givers of children.

TLDR: THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
