Honesty feeling hopeful for the first time in awhile, bullish on protest and I think that tech can be leveraged in a significant way

Looking over your posts in this thread, you seem eager to deploy censorship and violence so long as it’s against people you disagree with.

Surely that could never turn around on you! Right?

Think past your nose on this, think of there were even “sides” here and Obama was president and some far right people were causing riots, would you really want them to use censorship via “platform advantages” and violence of painful protest? Can you imagine no scenario where you aren’t on the side of the majority?
You've got it backwards. Voting and promoting change is what has not worked. Economic damage is likely to be the only thing that's going to persuade the elites to throw the working class a bone. You're witnessing the anger of the masses in its most pure form here.

Of course, the police are guilty of some despicable behavior when responding to the unrest.

As an example, firing rubber bullets at innocent people causing harm and arresting journalists.

That doesn't mean it's justified to burn down an occupied building with children inside and prevent fire crews from accessing it. That's diabolical.
A union leads to exactly what its members want it to lead to. It's a democratic entity.
I'm really sorry that your precious neighborhood has been defaced by graffiti. Its certainly as serious as the police systematically killing the people of non-white communities.

> It's destroying the fabric of these cities. It will cost these cities decades to come back, if ever, from the decimation. On the other side of this is poverty, ruin, and gang violence.

There is absolutely no evidence of anything close to that level of destruction of property. The majority of protests have been peaceful. And you seem to have no idea about what causes poverty, ruin and gang violence (hint: its not the destruction of Macy's stores).
There are people getting even richer due to all this volatility right as we speak. Be wary of those who support the protests and are part of the faction that would like riots to continue.

I've taken 3000 pages of notes in a linear, bullet-point fashion, and I also keep up with education research.

As far as I can tell, both in studies and in personal experience, the fiddly details of your note-taking schemes don't matter. The only thing that matters is attempting to integrate the information into a cohesive whole, which takes intentional thought.

With linear notes, there's a failure mode where links that should be made aren't; you can even walk around believing outright contradictions without noticing. But with a web, there's an equally bad failure mode where your knowledge gets diffuse and unstructured (instead of "X causes Y if Z", you get "X, Y, and Z are related. But... was Z the thing that caused X? Wait, but then what was Y for?").

Both of these reflect a failure to aggregate and chunk the information into hard tools, but no productivity system can magically fix that; it always takes time.
Ignorant here and sure this varies per state, but what are some of main the legal or tax challenges?

This is probably the wrong time for Facebook software engineers to try to flex their muscles. Most large firms have put their hiring on hold due to COVID-19. A lot of engineering talent is now on the market looking for jobs due to layoffs by startups and many other companies. Facebook is gearing up for remote work which will expand the talent pool beyond Silicon Valley.

The situation on the ground has changed a lot in the last few months.

I am not sure how much real leverage they will have from the walkout.
> (even getting TV shows from the UK, a western country, was hard, because they were on PAL. people used to "camera copy", running a VCR from one system to a TV, and videorecording that with a camera running the other system)

Some time ago I watched some documentary about people watching western movies in, IIRC, Romania during the Cold War. There was a flourishing black market industry, some people smuggled VHS tapes in their cars over the border (either hiding the tapes in their car, or then by bribing the border guards), others who knew English (e.g. school teachers) spent their evenings dubbing movies to the local language in somebody's home studio. And then because few people had TV sets and VCR's, people had makeshift movie salons in somebody's apartment.

In Estonia, people built TV antennas to receive transmissions from Finland; Finnish and Estonian are fairly close to each other, and in Finland foreign programs are typically subtitled rather than dubbed making it easy to understand. So people in Estonia were fairly familiar with Western TV series like Dallas or Knight Rider.

Kid culture behind the Iron Curtain is particularly interesting, since for some reason censorship wasn't as strong there. So you have kids classics like Uspensky's Uncle Fyodor, which, if you read a little between the lines, contains some pretty harsh criticism of the system.
You carefully cherry picked one aspect of my argument and didn't address the arson of occupied buildings with children inside. That's one example, there's also kidnapping, rape and serious assault with deadly weapons to point at.

Someone was nearly stoned to death on the street with bricks by rioters for protecting a business.
I make sure to link my OneNote pages together by simply right clicking on a page and copying the link, then pasting it into another page.

No one is claiming that it wouldn’t reduce his reach, just that a “small group of Silicon Valley engineers” cannot unilaterally “control and censor” his communication. He would still be perfectly able to have his message heard by literally any citizen who wanted to hear it — in fact, he is the US least susceptible to censorship.
I really enjoyed it! It is quite short. It's pretty funny.

>Web developers have utterly squandered all efficiency gains of the last 30 years

It's true, whenever a company has pleaded with me to bring a site in with better performance, I have adamantly refused to do so.

When companies say guess what, Bryan, we are going to focus a sprint on just making sure everything download as fast as possible and we get rid of anything getting in the way of the best possible user experience, I have spent that sprint watching quirky animation, and sometimes turned that animation into a base64 encoded gif and put it in a div that was set with a z-index low enough that it would be not seen by people but would still have to be downloaded by the browser!

I do all these things of course, because it was decided by the Secret League of Obnoxious Web Developers (SLOWD) that we should do the utmost in our power to make the web slower for everyone.

OR - it could be that I have in fact asked project management at sites repeatedly to focus on performance (and accessibility, another thing that always gets ignored) and been told that nobody care about that stuff.

I guess it's up to you to determine where the fault lies.

The purpose of the AGPL as envisioned by Stallman is to give you as a user of the network-based software some of the same freedoms that you would have as a user of a local GPL program.

This would include the freedom to know what code is running,and the freedom to modify that code and run you own version. The ideal outcome of someone running an AGPL server would be that if you find a bug or if they decide to terminate the service, you can host your own version, so you are not locked in.

Unfortunately, it turns out that this freedom is very hard to actually guarantee, as the deployment and monitoring of a server can be as daunting as the actual application logic itself. This is somewhat similar to the case of releasing GPL code without the instructions for building that code, but probably far worse.

You seem to have assumed I am personally someone who was bitten by this, which is not the case. I am not even a firm believer in FLOSS values. I am just a by-stander observing how these things are used in practice as opposed to their ideals.

By the way, even Mongo's initial use of the AGPL was somewhat counter to the spirit of the thing - they also believed that the deployment part is going to be too hard for many companies, so they hoped that companies would come to them to pay for hosted deployments. If they were using the AGPL according to its spirit, they could have made their own deployment and monitoring scripts public and would have defeated Amazon's lock-in attempts that way (of course they could never do that, their whole purpose was to create that lock-in effect for themselves).
There is always Flatpak. Yes, the idea is similar, but the execution seems to be better.
Hello.

I launched my MVP, https://simple-scanner.com this weekend.

I've formerly been a pen-tester, sys admin, and most recently a software developer.

I've personally been hacked years ago, and so decided to build a simple, automated service to scan sites or IPs and give the user simple reports on possible vulnerabilities present.

First 25 signups get their first month free.

Also looking for any feedback you are willing to give.

Thanks

Show HN: Chrome Extension; Hover tickers/companies for market data, news
Chrome Extension that scans the page you're browsing for tickers and company names (currently covering the S&P 500 (large-cap), S&P 400 (mid-cap), and QQQ (Nasdaq 100).

The matched tickers/keywords are subtly highlighted, and hovering over them retrieves market data (e.g. day and 52-week trading range visuals, historical valuation) as well as a curated feed of news and tweets related to the company.

Would love any feedback!
I think it does matter. This is an issue that is affecting black people. White people who are protesting should be doing it to support them, not to hijack their movement and running it how they see fit.
It's not about censoring or not censoring. It's about Facebook actually giving a shit about the state of the world it's in, and not just Mark Zuckerberg's incessant handwringing about "feeling disgust" but... doing nothing about it.

Too long have abhorrent actions by Donald Trump gone completely unchecked by major platforms and, if Facebook won't even do the token step of doing something about a clearly racist and disgusting message, then they are truly spineless and complicit.
They'll find out how much of the rhetoric the company feeds them is true or not. They'll know for themselves when they deemed it important to draw a line.

As a matter of calculation, the timing isn't ideal. None of them seem to be saying it is a matter of calculated timing to leverage their market value though.

The problem is antifa has become the new boogy man for the GOP, and they've been pushing this narrative extremely hard. It's apparent they've identified their enemy, but this approach has me worried that "First they came for the antifa..." might not be far off.

I see a lot of mischaracterization of what is a category, not a group. From what I can tell antifa is anti-fascism, and somewhat characterized by people willing to take direct action.
All i learned is that liberals view anyone who disagrees with their interpretation of race at any given time is racist.
This is like saying a political party leads to what it members want it to lead to, since it's a democratic entity. In practice different members want different things, and it easily ends up as political games with mismatched incentives.
It doesn't work that way. Boeing employees don't get to dictate what Boeing as a business does, only how it interacts with and compensates its workers. No union is going to change that.
How is that relevant to what Internet Archive is doing? As I understand it, the Internet Archive has decided that it will freely distribute even self-published authorship.
I think Facebook's way of handling the political messages by not interfering is much better than Twitters. I do not want some random person inserting a fact note which corresponds with their view of the world. Facts are very seldom only one sided and it should be up to the readers to comment the tweet or do a google search.
Freedom includes the freedom to not do something.

That's why when I modify a free software package for my own personal use and gratification, I'm not forced to distribute the changes to anyone, not even upstream.

Archive.org's copies, like the one at https://web.archive.org/web/20190212143902/https://wagtail.i... , seems usable. Plus, things like http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v2.4/ are still live.
Lots of different types of unions exist. Seems silly to throw the idea out because some unions fought for things that aren't popular with this crowd. Instead make a union that fights for the things you want. They are democratic institutions after all.
> Twitter has been a very interesting petri dish for me to see how people interact with each other when they feel like they can say and behave any way they want

It is very self selecting though, isn't it? You even acknowledged that mentioning people fleeing Twitter for Mastodon. It seems Twitter (etc.) attracts the people who want to make a lot of noise without repercussions, who then proceed to make the most noise. And studying behavior on Twitter just studying this small subset of Twitter users, who are a even smaller subset of the general population. Or are you able to adjust for all this?
Okay, but this is not about whether publishers should exist...
Eh. Apollo 12 landed within 200 meters of Surveyor 3 with 1960s-era technology and after manually evading a bunch of boulders. These days, SpaceX can land a booster on a ship in the middle of the ocean after a hypersonic return. I think they could manage a precision landing on the moon.

Good job voting Trump into office. This clownesque theatre you got going on would be amusing to the rest of the world if it wasn't so damm tragic.

I've recently started integrating PyCharm's debugger more instead of python native tools and it really has been a life changer!

My favorite tiny unique feature is that it injects variable values as temp comments in the code as the program runs in debug mode. So you're seeing `foo = get_foo() # "bar"` as your code. Really helps to debug complex algorithms when you can see the values right there in the code.

My only problem is that debugger shell feels very clunky with ideaVim plugin, so if someone at JetBrains reading this that would be a very welcome improvement!

We've been disappointed with the direction MongoDB is taking. ACID has been a disaster and has just slow MongoDB without reaching its objectives. The new distribution license is restrictive and is killing innovation and MongoDB future.

We want to hard fork MongoDB at the 3.4 branch, make it open source again, and focus on performance. We're looking for someone with deep knowledge of MongoDB internals, C++ and JavaScript programming who share our vision and wants to work on a MongoDB hard fork full time.

That's not necessarily a given. To be fair we also technically live in a democracy with a democratic process. Many would argue that the views of the majority are not reflected.
Some states have worker’s compensation monopolies so you have to buy it from the state.

All states require that you register as a company there and pay taxes.

There are PEOs like Justworks that act as the employer and file taxes for you. But you still have to register first and then assign the company to the PEO.

In short it varies a lot and that doesn’t take into account things like local laws on compensation.

I say this as a founder of a remote-first startup registered in 12 states.

> This has happened, incrementally.

Do you have statistics that show that? Are more cops charged and imprisoned after murdering unarmed people every year, or does the number of unarmed murdered people go down, at all? People who die mysteriously in custody?
Kinda. Not sure if this counts: One staff member asked me to wall off permissions so that he'd have god-privs in his area of the application, which he used to lock out everybody else. He said it was unfortunate but necessary due to sabotage. The rest of the staff haven't complained since it was put in, but it's pretty clear they can't go there anymore.

The manager there is really breezy and lets-move-on-ASAP with regard to personnel issues, so I can only anticipate this continuing. That's kind of the issue--a more or less frozen executive stance when it comes to this sort of people problem. When they bring on people who are cut-the-bs types, those people don't tend to last and are forced out. Still, the organization is effective in its unique way: It operates in a field where blowing smoke is the happily accepted norm. Even I wouldn't want to change it.

What is their end goal here? I certainly don’t want Mark Zuckerberg or any of his employees making decisions on what is considered newsworthy, especially on really important stuff like this. Even if you don’t personally like what is being said, the fact that it _is_ being said - and who is saying it - is an important point for people to know.

The next time, it may be your own opinions that they’ll censor: Facebook has far more reach, and has much less journalistic pretensions than any of Murdoch’s properties... you really really don’t want them to start getting involved in politics.
