CLIs are not guaranteed to have a predictable interface at all. The flag prefix isn't standardized at all. On Windows you see the awkward / prefix. On Linux you will see a random mix between -- or - and the way values are specified is also random. Sometimes it is --flag value at other times it is --flag=value or just -f value or -f=value with no fully written out counterpart. If there was actually a standard that every CLI application followed (or the format was parsed by the shell instead and applications simply receive the parsed array of arguments) then you could make this argument. I would love it if this were true but that isn't the world we live in.
I'm surprised no one is getting excited for pxe boot.

> The draft order also states that the White House Office of Digital Strategy will re-establish a tool to help citizens report cases of online censorship.

> Called the White House Tech Bias Reporting Tool, it will collect complaints of online censorship and submit them to the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

> It requires the FTC to then “consider taking action”, look into whether complaints violate the law, develop a report describing such complaints and make the report publicly available.
I don't get it, is there a legal obligation for twitter to follow its own terms of service?

This EO seems to be a nothingburger, the courts have already established that the text of 230 creates broad immunity, they aren't going to defer to the FCC about that.

Has the FTC even established that platforms have obligations towards their non-customer users?
As this field is labor intensive and only marginally automatable, I'd assume the wage floor is a reason.

It would be great if the occasion were used to consider this and other points dispassionately.

Your point is solid ('get' is a common name for packaging systems) but if you're not familiar with Linux, apt-get is from Debian.
Better to rent a $5/month virtual server.

But if you want to learn about hosting (web servers, static routing, linux), then DIY. Using at least 2 GB RAM makes life easier.
Micro is excellent as a git commit editor. You don't have to leave your terminal, and you have full mouse support if you want to go back and change something.
The 1st amendment isn't the issue here. The issue is Facebook pretending to be a publisher when it is in fact much more like a newspaper editor. You don't get to run a private company with unparalleled influence over US politics and not play by the rules of other media companies.

I don't see how HN is what's wrong with the web. It's a very well managed online community.
Seriously, business never was and never will be a nice place. For every company in Silicon Valley there's a story about a dickmove, both in startups and corporations. Yes, Microsoft screwed you over. Capitalise on the drama buzz and move on.
IANAL, but this seems reasonable and similar to what e.g. Germany is already practising: if you assume responsibility of your users' content by verifying/correcting it, you are held liable. For example, portals that collect user reviews and check whether they are complete and correct: https://medien-internet-und-recht.de/volltext.php?mir_dok_id... (German).

Yup; home security will deter a quick grab, but if someone wants to come in they will. The main things there is, will it be noticed in the act (like how much noise will it cause), and will there be damage. If you get robbed with no damage or evidence of a break-in, insurance won't pay out.

It would be very easy for the US in this case. Twitter's entire revenue stream is ad based. All the US has to do is to sanction any US company that is doing business with Twitter. Once the ad money dries up, Twitter would be as good as dead.
IT Companies have limited features to outside the EU countless times, search engines even locally censor search results here in some cases; I can imagine twitter might just do the same and offer a slightly different user experience inside the USA for legal reasons.

---
EDIT:

Of course they could also attempt to separate this fact-checking from their platform, for example by having another company build browser-extensions and endorse these extensions in some way. How far they could go with this is beyond my understanding of the legal system of the USA, but I imagine it should be doable to some extent.
At the bottom of the page I linked are some resources. But you can take a look at the most recent alife conferences like... ALife and GECCO to see what people are up to these days.

Half the battle is knowing whether something exists or is possible.

Twitter is being threatened because they are arbitrarily censoring people.
> I don't see how HN is what's wrong with the web

I think he's saying it's a distraction. I agree.
Too much of their revenue comes from the US. Big US advertisers would be incredibly skeeved out by advertising to US users via a US jurisdiction dodging middleman.

They could survive just fine as a communication tool but not so much as a business.
Hahaha political censorship is so funny hahaha
1. It would be hard to build a system that couldn’t be filtered out. Something is liked and unliked? Just don’t include it. Mouse isn’t moving randomly on the page? captcha time. Not to mention that they could randomize the element class names and ids or at least change them regularly so it would be a constant arms race to keep up.

2. You don’t want to be randomly liking crazy stuff on Facebook or randomly retweeting. There are real world consequences for doing the wrong thing there.
Very clever. This has nothing to do with the twitter tagging of his tweet that everyone is talking about.

The tagging incident just accelerated the idea that social media shouldn’t enjoy the cost benefits from being classified as a publisher or a platform depending on how much it costs to answer a legal question poised to them.

This has nothing to do with free speech, so I completely expect the conversation to go completely off the rails.
I am curious about the actual cost in $! Managing your own kafka or observability infra is expensive, you need a team to do this.

A 67% reduction doesn't say the whole truth. They have more services to manage now, which means they need more people and more time to do this.

Saving 10k from your AWS bill by hiring 2 more engineers is not cost effective.
There are sites where the bias goes the other way. They just happen to be disused by most people because of that clear bias.
Some friends and I are trying to built a new private web where tracking is impossible without user permission and users own their data:

It’s not reasonable in context, which is as a temper tantrum resulting from having a fact check posted alongside Trump’s blatant lies. The content wasn’t edited and taking responsibility for the speech of others is absurd.

Replying to @all

What I was getting at was dead simpl,e: turn off JS and install a hostfile-based blocklist, or other. It really was that simple. I also enable cookies just for HN posting. Else no cookies of any kind ever accepted.

So are people doing that, because if you don't co-operate with their code, tracking you gets vastly harder. You can take back control of you machine - if you choose.

It's simple and you can do it now - if you choose.

@benjaminjosephw: can you give more detail? (glad you're not just all talk!)

@marcus_holmes, @zdkl, @saagarjha: you may need to get together with others to unify the idea of doing your own web servers. A collective not a commercial entity which you are trying to avoid being involved in. That gives you together much more power.

I think that's what @MaxBarraclough is suggesting looking at . I will to.

@saagarjha: writing your own browser engine seems totally pointless - it's the web at fault, not the browser that renders it. If you don't like bits of the browser, remove the code. Don't understand what you're trying to do.
Show HN: Karate Club – A Python library for machine learning on graphs
Because the world is very big and we're really well insulated from most parts of it. Yeah there are hospitals full of patients in Wuhan, who cares. Yeah I can't go to Rome this year, because those frightened Italians closed shop, even though the plague is only in Northern Italy. Hah, those New Yorkers are losers, they don't even have enough morgues, probably because the constant crime! Damn these irresponsible city dwellers brought death to our doorsteps! Uh, well, Joe the neighbor got well after two day, so fuck these mask-donning gun-fearing science-suckers, don't tell me what to wear, and I won't cover my face, I'm not a Muslim woman!

And so on, and so on. The cognitive dissonance is palpable at every turn, but that doesn't help those who are in its grip. 100+ years ago people blamed that new thing, electricity, for the Russian flu, now people blame 5G. Just as sometimes lovely religious folks blame gays, rock and roll, and video games for everything.

There are very few clear cut things in our world that our brain accepts as such. (The Earth is round? Well, it seems flat to me. An anvil falls down faster than a pillow, so that must be because it's heavier.)
You seem to be ignoring the other, more legitimate motivation for DRM schemes: rampant piracy meant that as many as 90% of copies of some games were illegal. With production costs today so much higher, a lot of modern games probably couldn't have been made in that environment.

Walled gardens and proprietary lock-in schemes are still undesirable from the user's perspective, and I suspect many of us might support stronger consumer rights in this area, but just switching off all protections without a change in culture so people do respect the rights of creators as well is unrealistic.
>I'm not seeing the issue.

The issue is when they didn't just fork the codebase, they repeatedly flew the person who wrote the code out to Seattle on false pretenses, implying a job offer and additional money for their work, then picked the developer's brains until Microsoft learned all they needed from him, then just ignored all communication from him.

The issue is that it was dishonest and scummy behavior.
I love that they started to fact check the president, but the very stupid choice to use CNN basically means that shot themselves in the foot...
As tromp has a meta-circular implementation of lambda calculus maybe that Turing Machine could be implemented in lambda calculus and we could have an objective measure of which one is "simplest"?
If the code could be extracted into generic top-level pure functions, I generally don’t unless its used in more than once in the codebase. Otherwise I find a number of contextless generic functions/classes without any idea of their use exhausting to look at eventually.

I have some functions that live in closures that are fairly generic. I’m always contemplating extracting them into a higher level. But they’re currently only used in one place, and they currently reside close to that one place, and this seems sensible.
Well, also remember that a tonne of internet is using a very low-bandwidth connection (sometimes much less than dial-up speeds). I imagine that without no-script installed a bunch of the web simply can't be used.
> You use it.

And you keep the copyright notice, otherwise you're violating the license.

If it's based on the same design (i.e. same file formats, mechanisms, etc.) then the issue is still not giving credit and pointing out the design it's based on. Doesn't cost them a thing and gives a lot of goodwill from people.

Like, if someone uses my code, I'm happy, if they copy the idea and present it as their own that's dishonest.
Yes, they are definitely fast enough for simple pages to a few thousand daily visitors. I've hosted dynamic websites from home using much more modest hardware and eventually used a first model Raspberry Pi for it.

Eventually I moved my sites to a VPS out of convenience. My ISP can't guarantee a static address with my current plan (although I've found it is static in practice so far), and the additional cost of a plan where they can exceeds the cost of renting a VPS.

If you have an ever changing dynamic IP allocation, you can still use Dynamic DNS services to update DNS records. I use GoDaddy for my names and AFAIR they provide this service, but there are also free providers that'll give you a subdomain, like https://dyndns.org. This requires some additional setup, because you need to update your IP with the dynamic DNS API regularly, for example via a cron job.

As for setup, if all you need is static pages you can use Raspbian and just install Apache or Nginx, put your files under /var/www/html and on your router forward some port to port 80 on your Raspberry Pi.
And Twitter is not politically biased? At least we vote for government officials. None of us vote for the Twitter mods who censor mainstream political discourse.
While no longer advertised as such, alcohol is still a common pasttime ingrained in a lot of cultures. In informal advertising (e.g. Reddit memes), weed is a recurring theme and ingrained in a lot of people's daily routines. And on HN, articles and comments about how great psychedelics are make a regular appearance.
The issue is bringing the author of the MIT code to your HQ for a fake interview and make suggestions that he will work with you.

You just milk him for information and let him go without any further communication.
>Mozilla just recently changed their program to divide bounty amongst submissions of same vuln within 3 days.

One potential issue: someone on the Mozilla team could pass some of these on to a few friends who then claim some of the money.

It's not a major likelihood, unless the bounties are numerous or especially large.
There are a few things you can do.

1. Get a better shell with good auto-completion. I find bash to be lacking in this regard. I use fish but others like zsh.

2. Use a helper command like `tldr`[1]. It's not perfect and certainly not a replacement for a proper manual page, but it helps when in the middle of work.

Section 230 should stay but the definition of re-publisher vs publisher should be narrowed down.

The law should be written such that if you go beyond removing spam and illegal content, and especially if you are editorializing user-submitted content, you are are a publisher, rather than a re-publisher.

This will put large platforms in a situation where they will have to chose whether they maintain neutrality. Each platform can then pick whether to be a publisher or a re-publisher.
If Microsoft is serious about supporting open source then this is the kind of story that it needs to stop happening.

It may be perfectly legal to come out with their own version of AppGet, to base it on AppGet, and give it a name that is very close to AppGet, and if the developer wasn't a fit for Microsoft then they don't have to hire him.

But behaving in this way is like biting the hand that feeds you in terms of open source they come out sounding like a*oles.

When it was clear they didn't want to do an acqui-hire one solution would be to indicate that it was possibly they were going to create their own version of the product and perhaps 'purchase' the AppGet design/concept, or pay a consultancy fee for the time the developer was being interviewed - even for a token sum.
This is correct. And China isn’t really interested in low quality sweat-labor manufacturing anymore. This brings in very little added value, and it damages the environment. But these jobs keep the lesser educated people from the villages occupied, and it gives them a chance to get their children a formal education.

Instead, they want massive robotic, automated, and mechanized manufacturing. Where a technician is standing by, and just watching the robots, for quality control.

All those assembly line technicians at Foxconn can go to college and train to be a Computer Scientist or Engineer. Then in another 10 years, China will have a massive amount of computer programmers, engineers, and AI scientists.
Yes and the opposite of that is censorship by drowning the opposite message

It's a private platform
Imagine being a part of a party that has been pushing for the destruction of net neutrality, and complain that specific services on the internet are censoring the internet.

Deciding what traffic to allow on the networks is OK but services shouldn’t be allowed to police things on their own platform.
Actually, the issue is that his primary campaign strategy consists of saying completely unsubstantiated bullshit, and that the introduction of any kind of fact checking would fly in it's face.

What rules do newspaper editors have to play by, exactly? Most of the major outlets are 24/7 propaganda machines. Calling any particular politician out on lying is hardly controversial for them, depending on who the politician in question is.
Back when the entire web was like this, simple websites would be hosted on 50-200 MHz single core machines with RAM in the megabytes. So I don't mean to come off as confrontative but if you can't host a text-based website on a quad-core 1.5 GHz machine with 8 GB of RAM you're doing something seriously wrong.

As for setting things up, if you can apt-get install apache on any generic Linux box, you can do it on a Raspberry Pi.
This period of Trump benefiting off unfettered, direct access to the public, and Twitter benefiting off of greater clout through hosting the president is most definitely coming to a conclusion.
I think other bundlers/build systems can also do incremental builds (although may be implemented as modules in some systems, and not part of the default system)

for example, lastrun in gulp (which is part of the default)

I heard vim supports Vim keybindings out of the box. I may be wrong, I use IdeaVim mostly.
No, that's not why they're being threatened. They're being threatened because they did something Donald Trump did not like.
Perhaps the role actually required skills other than those used to build Homebrew?
Research has focused on long-term (months to years/permanent) benefits from just one or a small handful of psychedelic experiences. It would even be difficult to find marginally responsible "psychonauts" who would recommend attempting a "never-ending psychedelic trip", which regardless wouldn't be physically plausible due to how rapidly the short-term tolerance increases.

In short, perhaps do more research on this topic because you're arguing against a position no one has taken.
Unlike GP, his life is also about hating Apple in every way possible. Just looking at his YouTube channel for about 4 seconds makes it pretty obvious that he isn't even trying to be fair.

+1 on the thing with Docker, all I want is a "start" command to go through that dockerfile I just wrote (also with some effort). At the moment it feels like I have to build it, then build it again but with a tag or name, then look up that same tag or name again and find the right command to actually run a container, oh and then there's a bunch of old versions of that container still taking up space but if you don't actually google for "how to clean up old docker containers" you'd have no clue how to find them.

Is there a docker frontend for idiots like me somewhere?
