Yes, I remember there was a OO programming style/discipline layered on C that was floating around in the mid 80's and I tried it out. (just found out there's a whole book about it - https://book.huihoo.com/pdf/object-oriented-programming-with...)

Shortly thereafter, C++ arrived in the form of "cfront" which was a cross-language translator that would generate .c and .h files from .cxx and you'd compile those with a C compiler. There was no actual C++ compiler at first.

The U.S. is the hegemon. It's going to use its weight to push people around, especially if it has a chance to push China around. It did.

When the 2008 financial crisis happened, some Swiss banks were in crisis and the FBI managed to finally break through Swiss bank secrecy in exchange for bailout funds (for U.S. operations). Suddenly tons of Americans hiding money in Switzerland had to make "voluntary disclosures" and pay tax. That's what being a hegemon allows you to do.

Japanese cars were considered cheap and poor quality too, until they weren't. Chinese-made used to be a synonym for shoddy workmanship. Like recently, when I was an adult, and I'm not that old.

Yeah, lots of the problems with rent control are related to it being an unfair disadvantage to some (usually not all) landlords and they have expenses as well.

But again: the reason rent control is passed is because enough people with significant political leverage were hurting. We need to be able to show them a better alternative if we don't want the pain of rent control's (un?)intended consequences to linger.
When I visited a friend in England I accidentally stayed at a council estate that someone put up on AirBNB illegally. While it wasn't a slum, it definitely wasn't "just OK". I suspect the reason why that particular unit didn't look like a slum is because the owners were renting it out and doing their best to keep it nice. Not a single bit of that place was built well. Maybe it was cheap. Looked OK from the outside but inside it was like some background location for a movie that's about to experience an apocalypse.
> I think that stock appreciation profit should be taxed at least as high as personal income.

I don't understand why... if I invest money I worked to earn, the profit from putting that money to use should be taxed three times: once while paying the employee the company hires to carry out business, twice after profit is calculated and corporate income tax taken, and then thrice when they tax me for the dividend. Surely twice is enough?

> That said, it is worth pointing out that public investors do have access to primary market IPOs.

Not quite, the have access to the resellers of the primary market IPO. The original buyers of the equity are the underwriters plus whoever registered during the road show -- and they must be accredited I believe.

>social media sites should not be the business of censoring elected officials. That is the job of voters and Congress.

What about Paul Nehlen, a political candidate who (before he was permabanned) frequently railed on Twitter against the "Jewish media" and mused about the "JQ", which stands for Jewish Question? Who called Jewish critics "shekels-for-hire" and used the phrase "The goyim know!" as an imitation of their involvement in a supposed conspiracy? Who said he wouldn't mind "leading a million Robert Bowers [the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter] to the promised land"?

Is that something Twitter is within their rights to ban for, in your view? If so, would that change if he were elected?

Social media is a not a public square where people can plant their soapbox, it is a set of privately owned servers where people can persist small amounts of data that comply with a set of rules. You break the rules, you get kicked off the private property.
I highly doubt an intelligent psychopath who knows how to manipulate people and knows what to say can't get through this "comprehensive psychological evaluation". If you want to kill people you aren't going to tell others this in the open, or admit it on a test.

Unless those tests include CT scans of brain activity I wouldn't trust it. And that would only disqualify people born with some sort of problem, not people who develop it because of upbringing.

Also https://thefreethoughtproject.com/dad-confronts-cop-killed-h... mentions the officer that told the guy to shoot killed himself after the event. So it's likely this case might just be a freak accident due to negligence and poor training.
I'm not a fan of Gab, but it could easily be not popular because it's offering a worse version of the current form of FB.

If FB's status changed, Gab could theoretically become more popular. Not all new platform/publishers would be the equivalent of a Gawker and thus raise the ire of a billionaire. There are plenty of independent journals, magazines, blogging platforms, etc that don't get sued out of existence.

There’s no contradiction between abusing you wrote and police being violence workers. Police cannot do their jobs without resort to the threat of violence and occasionally actual violence. The degree of restraint varies wildly between different forces but that does not. When traffic wardens, paramedics, social workers or firefighters need someone to do legal violence they don’t do it themselves, they call the police. They are one of the forces the state has delegated its monopoly on the legitimate use of force to, along with the military. They are not primarily in the business of violence, like the military, but they can’t do their jobs without the capacity to be violent either.
I would say that the overwhelming thing that separates Jack Dorsey from Twitter employees financially is that he is massively wealthy, not that he earns more for working there. If he founded a new small startup today, valued at a nominal amount, and paid all employees including himself $75k/year, wouldn't there be the same inequality? You'd hardly argue that he should need to light on fire $100mm/year for the privilege of working at the new startup, in order to make his compensation somehow the same as the other employees.
By doing this, SeatGeek seem to be going against the trend of recent years. Why have some forums not only provided Facebook sign-up, but even insisted on it or hid deep in the UI the ability to sign in with a username and password?

Was it just to discourage spammers from signing up, because Facebook has taken measures to ensure that there is a real person behind each Facebook account? Or by logging on through Facebook, did you reveal details about yourself to the forum’s proprietors that could be used for targeted advertising?

Project C-90, an attempt to catalogue every cassette tape
The problem is really pretty simple:

-Facebook has a culture that is extremely biased toward the political left. The left has a (recent?) trend of wanting to censor speech they don't agree with.

-America (and the world) has a lot more viewpoint diversity.

Zuckerberg is stuck with trying to keep his workers happy but also not wanting to alienate large portions of users, customers, politicans, etc.

In my opinion, he has chosen the path correctly and only those deep in an ideological bubble would think otherwise.

If you disagree with this, think to yourself - would you want Trump supporters deciding what you're able to post on Facebook?
There are a number of "housing projects" in the US that turned into rampant crime nests. US politicians are largely wary of such projects right now.
Say what you will about the fact that these exist in the language, I found this post interesting because although realistically and thankfully I never have to deal with these quirks day-to-day, it brought me more insight to the weird nature of this language.

More specifically, the first one was quite interesting and subtle enough that if I didn't have the `parseInt(N, 10)` rule ingrained in my head, if I had to parse a list of numbers I would try that and then scratch my head for like 30 minutes being very confused. It's also subtle enough that I could see it possibly going to production, because it could be missed if the code is only lightly tested and could be missed in a code review too.

The other one that intrigued me was the second one, and I had to look up why it works -- I didn't realize that using the + operator turns any non-parseable value into NaN.

Thanks for the cool article!
I think we should go to a system where companies must pay out all profits to investors, who can choose whether to reinvest or not. Stop the 'too big to fail' mentality -- if companies want money, ask the investors, not the government.
I did not see any of these post, let a lone flag them, but here is my opinion.

1) A bit bucket status post to the status page serves little purpose. If I want to know the status I can visit the status page. Perhaps a better post might have been "Is bitbuckt down for anyone else? I can't seem to get to it".

2) The Moz move page is almost 11 years old. I did not read it, but are you sure other did not find it outdated?

3) I am not interested in covid articles on a site dedicated to "hacker news"

4) I am not interested in social justice or police brutality on a site related to hacker news.

If I wanted social commentary (and I don't) there or other better ways to get it than here.

> unless the platform is run by the government. The First Amendment applies to restrictions on free speech by the government, and is not related to the actions of private enterprises.

That's not quite accurate. There is precedence for regulating speech in private media for example, as in the case of broadcast networks. Broadcast TV networks are still restricted on speech/expression to this day, as are radio stations.

There's nothing to say that social networks can't also be brought under the regulation of the FCC and have their speech and terms of service dictated to them. This turns social media platforms into something more like a utility. All users must be treated equally or the platforms get massive fines. If I were attempting to get this through, I'd argue the major social media platforms are natural monopolies due to reinforcing network effects and the finite nature of user time (there can only reasonably be so many large social networks, and the market has already strongly demonstrated globally that that is a very small number). You can replace a natural monopoly with another (an independent Instagram, allowed to evolve as a threat, possibly could have killed Facebook for example and become the new monopoly), but you can't have 100 Facebooks that will all perfectly compete with eachother (some people will argue that in theory you could, but that would never happen in reality). For whatever niche / category / concept they target, social networks inherently trend toward either consolidation of users or death; it's why the Twitter clones were all killed off in the early days when people were still experimenting with that social concept. It's why there are not dozens of large scale YouTube or Reddit or even Stackoverflow clones (the rather brutal combination of network effects and finite user time wins in all cases and you end up with consolidation of users to just a few viable platforms). The market, largely left to sort things out on its own in the social media sphere, has provided a lot of proof that large social media platforms are natural monopolies.
Let's not forget that the police themselves have their own share of fallen officers. For 2019, ~150 officers killed, out of ~700k total LEO.

sorry, I re-read your original comment and now I'm not sure how I assumed it was about criminal hacking
I like to think I've been paying attention - I'm a person of color who grew up with some financial privilege, I'm a quiet, introverted nerd, and it was obvious from highschool onward that police treated me much differently than my white friends. When I was 17, I got pulled over at 1am on a small unlit backroad, but the cop didn't get out of his car. He stayed in his car, told me via the megaphone to exit my vehicle, put my hands behind my head, walk backwards, put my hands on the trunk, while he frisked me, then put me in the back of the cop car and searched my vehicle, then let me go, telling me "it's a dangerous area and I shouldn't be out this late". Speeding tickets were always aggressive encounters. That stuff sticks with you.

That said, I still found the attacks on the press this week absolutely shocking. Police treating people of color differently than white people is absolutely nothing new. Attacking and arresting credentialed journalists, while they are clearly identifying themselves and broadcasting on live TV is something I never thought I'd see in America.
Is Facebook / Twitter / the internet in general infrastructure in a similar way to telephony and electricity?

There is an argument to be had there.
It’s downvoted because it’s arguing that because the arrest was short and not violent, it’s ok. That’s not how the law works; An unlawful arrest is an unlawful arrest.
But here is this complete disconnect in how Americans think about this. As a European you point out that cops are trigger happy and shoot people 100x more frequently than say in London. Then Americans respond "well we have way more guns so cops are on the edge and shoot more easily."

Well how about introducing some gun control then and reduce the number of guns in society?

But no, Americans don't want that. So many American problems are self inflicted wounds due to a dogmatic adherence to particular principles and ideas which simply are unworkable.

No society has managed to maintain the kind of inequality and high gun ownership that the US has without leading to violence. Inequality combined with high gun ownership and lax regulation, just doesn't work. There is no way to make it work.
Where does this claim come from? Ex-USSR sounds too broad. Any sources on the 'active use'?
A CEO gets paid in stock, which the company later buys back with cash. Ergo, the CEO getting stock compensation reduced the amount of money available to pay workers.

GAAP requires companies to report stock compensation as an expense because it does actually move wealth around in a zero-sum fashion. It’s not a magic free money tree.
An absolutely amazing claim. $28,000 is cheap for "millions of Americans".

What's a moderately priced car to you? 50K?
Police in the small US college town I live in is pretty much part of the community. I personally know many of the officers - and they are fine people. Even so, they are still a target for antifa agit-prop tactics. The playbook is always the same, catch the one cop that said or did, or appeared to say or do, the wrong thing, once, and you can tarnish the entire department, the entire profession, forever. And it works. Somehow we lost all perspective and have come to expect that our officers, whose jobs regularly confront them with mortal danger and the darkest parts of human nature, will always display the same perfect virtues we carefully signal everyday on Facebook.
> These stories that come out of the woodwork every time tenants are mentioned are why I’ll never be a landlord.

My wife and I own a number of (8) rental properties. My wife manages them and we rarely have problems with tenants.

I will tell you what I think is the secret. My wife figuratively crawls up the ass of all prospective tenants. She needs to see credit history, pay stubs, and proof of punctual rent payments in their current situation (if applicable).

I don't think many landlords do this type of background checking because it's extra work and it can come across as confrontational.

But you'd be amazed at the number of prospective tenants who don't come back after being asked for that information.

Yes you do, you can send an email to hn@ycombinator.com. Controversial posts get unfortunately flagged by users, and mods can put them back.
You are also greatly exaggerating the risk to citizens in the USA when calling the police. The risk is not to the caller, the risk is to the alleged criminal that may get manhandled (or shot) way out of proportion to the offense. But you don’t make a mental “death chance calculation” when you call the cops.
I think the technical aspects of building the necessary communication infrastructure for a human trip to Mars would be absolutely fascinating. Due to the large RTTs (varying from 4 to 24 minutes), use of TCP/IP on Earth-Mars links is infeasible. Instead, you'd have two TCP/IP Internets (Earth's Internet and Mars's Internet), with store-and-forward protocols being used between them [1].

Just because they legally can does not mean they should censor the official representatives of the voters. The bigger the audience the more important it gets to show all points of views.
