> I'm able to post comments on many websites that are counted as publishers - try any online newspaper. I was able to post on countless forums long before Twitter appeared and still can.

Right... Because they have section 230 protection. Forums and newspaper websites are not "counted as publishers" with respect to comments you make on the site exactly the same way twitter isn't "counted as a publisher" for your tweets.

> They can remove shadowbanning - They can remove algorithmic manipulation, of all and any kinds not instituted by the user - They can adhere to the rules they've set up, no retroactive action...

Why is it a false dilemma? You've offered up an arbitrary list of product and business suggestions based on your own opinions about how twitter should be run, but nothing you've said seems to contradict the conclusion that twitter should lose the legal protection that allows them to keep the site open if they moderate the site.

Let's use a clear example. Do you think twitter should be shut down because of decisions like hiding Trump's tweet?

From my vague recollections of the original article, it was actually a sub-division of Maxis that wrote the B2B simulations like SimRefinery. They separated from Maxis and became Thinking Tools, and eventually went public, bringing on a new CEO that took the company into insolvency but not without making all the employees hate the company:

'At the end of 1998, Phillip Whalen gathered the staff together for a final meeting.

'Well, I wanted to bring you all together,” Wibbens remembered him announcing. “The good news is that you’ll be able to spend more time with your families this holiday.”44

'“They couldn’t even pay severance,” Skidmore said, frustrated. Whalen told the staff to take home their office equipment instead. “That’s your severance.”9 It was the last insult, the ignoble end to the company at the hands of growth capitalism.

'The employees of Thinking Tools did take some their work home, and they burned it. After they were let go, they got together for a bonfire, taking some of their project files, their pink slips, whatever papers they had around, and letting the past burn away.'

Realistically that will just yield guidelines on GDPR compliance, which was already adopted by major providers, and interoperability. Even if this non-political actor would lead to regulatory advice, we already have similar guidelines in areas like security, framing that alone as anti-competitive seems somewhat odd. I doubt a major cloud provider is "hindered" by suggestions such as "give your users something to control where their data goes" / "give your users the ability to get their data back out of your infrastructure". Startups might have problems work existing regulation that essentially says "make sure this data doesn't leave the country/union" but I don't see much difference to investing in any other compliance on the other side of the pond there.
I think I understand whatok's distinction, and I think it's significant. They're saying the Fed is buying ETFs instead of individual bonds not because they prefer to buy ETFs, but because the certification rules forbid them from buying bonds. That's a consequence of those rules, and not of the market for the individual bonds, except to the extent the different characteristics of the individual bonds vs. ETFs caused those different rules to be written in the first place (which I do believe is the case, per my other comment).

I believe my original comment more or less correctly describes the operation of the program, and the reason for that operation. That operation wasn't actually the intent of the program, though, just the consequence of rules that didn't work like the drafters expected.
The biggest thing I have found to keep in love is kindness. Sure, I could come up with a cutting, sarcastic rejoinder in on something my spouse says, but that would be unkind and cause pain.

If you look at the list presented, there is vitriol in pretty much every question. Don’t do that.

Also, along the same lines as kindness, never speak ill of your spouse or put them down in front of anyone. Be their biggest fan.

Speak kindly. Act kindly. No matter how you feel, make it a habit. This will go a long way towards a good, long-lasting relationship.

Ask HN: Solutions to Control Binary Distribution
I have a bunch of customers and I want to distribute to them firmware files for them to flash onto 50+ different application hardwares.

I need to control the distribution of the firmware flash files, so that basically 1. customers don't see anything they don't need or didn't pay for and 2. so I can pull or update a firmware flash file if I need to and easily expose the release notes/make old versions available. It would also be nice to see which customers have downloaded which files and allow them to subscribe for email notification of updates or something like that.

Is there some software out there that does this that I can install on-prem? My budget is max $2000 preferably one-time cost and it's unlikely that having any intellectual property hosted externally will be allowed. I can only seem to find JFrog, but there must be heaps of these out there.. surely.

I’m in the opposite boat. I went from Clojure to Java.

I got really tired of “finishing” my work, only to discover that it was riddled with bugs from all kinds of weird edge cases. My favorite is having to use (map vec <thing>) all over the place, because the seq abstraction leaks like a sieve.

To be fair, I also worked in a domain that was extremely poorly suited to Clojure. The “data first” approach of Clojure falls to pieces the moment you have a bunch of data that’s syntactically similar, but semantically different. This requires a lot of cross-method coordination, creating a huge mess and a risk of missed cases.
It most often has to do with browser sandboxing. See CORS, cookies, etc. It was a security flaw that began being addressed circa 2010.
What a convenient analogy to cover someone's ignorance.
Those mostly sound like good things to me. I’m sure people who enjoy music or art will still do it regardless. The people who might enjoy it but don’t quite have the talent will have more powerful tools to help them express their creativity. And as for the engineering, that seems like an absolutely good thing, as long as we don’t get too complacent and overly trust the machines to do it for us without double checking.
Telegram is not E2E per default. They claim to not turn over data to authorities but I doubt that claim. Signal on the other hand is fully end to end encrypted.

I also found that Clojure is full of weird edge behavior. Sets are unsafe, and might change the type on you. Seq leaks like a sieve, so there are all kinds of places where you have to map seq, and type hinting is the worst. The moment you type hint a Protocol, all kinds of weird shit starts to happen, including the need to import the type hinted classes in the consumer (except Java.util.*), even if you don’t reference it. Oh, and if you type hint protocols wrong, it doesn’t error, but your performance remains bad.

At least it did in 2017. I haven’t used it since then.

There is hundreds of millions in over the top research. Some of which is good stuff that moves us forward, but do we really need a Boeing X37 separate from NASA? Are we really getting our research money's worth when no one is allowed to know about, talk about, or otherwise leverage technologies developed?

One of my favorite parts about Apollo and Kennedys involvement specifically is the very deliberate choice to make it a civil program. The question wasn't if we needed to put effort into demonstrating superiority in space or not. The question was to do it as a military or civil program.

Point is, a country can accomplish a lot of the same things in different ways just by varying to which government agency we give resources.

I would rather go to space on a peaceful, multi country mission, not on a military weapon. I also would rather give our public resources to first responders, medical workers, emts, fire fighters and other civil servants than to our military. We reap what we sow.

You can also think of this as sunsetting petrol car infrastructure that can't be repurpoused for EVs. Making petrol stations more scarce good way to reduce their usage.

I love the idea of forcing "deep talk". I found that the fleeting nature of the connection doesn't pair as well with in-depth answers and good conversation, but it pairs great when the conversation is bad.

I also ran into a lot of instances where I got reported with the message of "be nice" when the other person wasn't responding and/or wasn't on cam. I'm assuming I got reported, but couldn't confirm why.

Overall, really cool concept and slick implementation. Just wish more than 30% of the conversations had been fruitful. I'm assuming if you forced people to have accounts, you'd be able to improve this experience over time.

You're right about the counters/classifiers do exist in ancient Chinese.

If there no classifiers there would be no straight forward way to specify if it's "a cup of water" or it's "a bucket of water".

With that being said, there's not many usages of catch-all classifiers, unless it is stretched to balance the number of characters in poems. Usually, there would be no classifier if there's no ambiguity:

"一人一桌一椅一扇一抚尺而已" --《口技》("a man, a table, a chair, a fan, a fuchi and that's all") -- 'The beatboxing'

The classifies usually are used in listing of things, and they would be postfixes, instead of being used as prefixes like in typical ways:

"...金碗二对，金抢碗二个，金匙四十把，银大碗八十个..." -- 《红楼梦》 ("...golden bowls: 2 pairs, golden qiangwan: 2 units, golden keys: 40 grasps, large silver bowls: 80 units...") -- 'The Dream of the Red Chamber'
as they learn, I want them to build reliable open source products that will be useful and maintainable after they find jobs and leave. Since less experienced engineers are prone to making mistakes, TypeScript have been really helpful in maintaining code quality. I think its a win win for their growth and for code quality.

> if one is able to build a well-motivated model for the photon's source and path of propagation, one can extract still more.

I think this is what the parent comment is getting at.

How are you supposed to build a model of a black hole given the source is universe-scaled and the time-line for receipt of any particular photon is probably(?) vast and our observations are distant.
While I would usually agree with your line of thinking, I'm not sure it applies here as well.

There is more money to be made in not providing the service and slowing down EV adoption, environment be damned. That makes it the perfect situation for the government to jump in and re-align those incentives.

Updates aside, what goes wrong if a customer has access to a firmware file for a device they don't have? Is the hardware distinct, such that the "wrong" firmware won't run on a given piece of hardware? If so, then customers won't be able to use anything they don't pay for, so consider the zero-cost solution of "don't worry about it". And if not, then some customers will pass firmware images around to bypass your access control mechanisms.

UX and usability is absolutely valid, and you might consider having a customer account system with which customers can identify the hardware they have (automatically if they buy it through you) and see the corresponding firmware they need. But that's a user experience question, not a licensing matter.
This seems to be a humor piece, but it honestly just makes me sad. My only feeling is that I wish I hadn't read it. Maybe this resonates differently to someone else?

The fruits of American labor and dominism are not distributed equally. Most Americans have these rights and necessities in varying degrees from bare minimum, eg leaded water will prevent death by dehydration but causes other problems. Or housing insecurity due to poor opportunities and insufficient safety nets. This does not mean America is not rich as a country. Just that American leaders are incompetent at the wheel. It's been established that America has the means to feed, house, and clothe everyone. Yet it's still an issue. Just a political one.

You've not responded to several of my points and are instead writing paragraphs about the headline summary of my comment. I'm not sure what points you're even trying to make here, maybe you're just venting? You started off talking about what is provided to Americans, when I elaborated on the things you've brought up you've moved onto different topics.

Percent of income spent on necessities is not a comparable metric between developed and developing countries when using it to make unspecific sweeping claims about progress. You're conflating American accomplishments with individual metrics. The two are related yet separate issues.

Your friends making 2-300k are fiscally irresponsible in my opinion. If someone making 6-10x median income can't figure out what millions of other people have on a fraction the income then that says more about the person than anything else.

Telegram only end-to-end encrypts "secret messages", which I assume are rarely used.
It's been a massive battery drain for me as I have no Google services. It's a known bug. You can't really turn off that drain either in favor of getting messages later.

You get that on Signal. I’ve got it on my phone, laptop, and tablet and I see the chats on all of them.

Do you mean message history when setting up a new device? They are working on that, but it’s not so easy to do without storing all your chats with a server side encryption key. Apparently something coming soon though.
Sadly, my (65 year old) mum is the only one I managed to convince to use to Signal. All my (mid-30s) friends won't budge from WhatsApp.

Piracy is no concern as long as there is just really basic access control to stop i.e. random end-users that might know someone who works at said place from deciding they want to transform their X into a Y using a flashtool.

But also another and more important reason you can't have people cross-accessing firmware images would be because certain firmwares would contain blobs that are considered IP of certain joint partners in a project.

So yeah, piracy is not a concern, and I'd be completely OK with just manually allocating who can see what. It's for factories and not consumers.

Also hypothetically, if you were really persistent, you can flash the wrong firmware files onto the wrong hardware and hypothetically you could accidentally sell it to someone. And that would be an absolute nightmare that I want to avoid as well. The application is sort of similar to flashing engine tunes onto a car and not necessarily hardware variant A/B/C etc. But there's potentially soon to be hundreds of variants and the end-user could very easily get lost. (At this point it's a UX concern)
> It hasn't aged very well, either. "Even today, the X server turns fast computers into dumb terminals" hasn't been true for at least a couple of decades...

You're not wrong, but that's only because people wrote extensions for direct access to the graphics hardware... which obviously don't work remotely, and so aren't really in the spirit of X. It's great that that was possible, but OTOH it probably delayed the invention of something like Wayland for a decade+.

It's been ages since I've used X for a remote application, but I sometimes wonder how many of them actually really still work to any reasonable degree. I remember some of them working when I last tried it, albeit with abysmal performance compared to Remote desktop, for example.
It's sometimes in control or out of control. Writing script in defensive way is better for security if filename is out of control.

They’re working on support for email based accounts rather than just phone numbers. This will likely open up that possibility.

I’m looking forward to it as well as my only Telegram use case is using it as a notification service for my servers. All my chats are transitioned to Signal.
It's a way for them to stay somehow relevant. I think the ones in cities will be gone once EV adoption takes off - people will charge while out shopping, when parked, etc.
