Designing a new protocol is the easy part.

But for that new protocol to be useful, it would need to:

(1) become an open standard which anyone could implement, and

(2) be built into every major platform.

For example, if I want to send a message to someone, let's say my doctor, I can't expect them to download some app or create an account on some new web site to be able to read it. E-mail doesn't require that, and any protocol that does would face huge obstacles to being adopted by the general population.

Facial Recognition Technologies in the Wild: A Call for a Federal Office
> Apple claimed that Huseby was allegedly importing “counterfeit” iPhone screens. Huseby denied this, saying that he simply used refurbished iPhone screens that he never advertised to the public as “genuine” parts from Apple.

I'm no fan of Apple's crackdown on repairers in general, but this sure sounds like he had third-party screens that he called "refurbished iPhone screens," which sounds pretty misleading to me. If someone told me something was a "refurbished iPhone screen," my assumption would be that it was originally a genuine Apple part, and it doesn't sound like that's what he was using.

Just leaving out the word "genuine" doesn't make it not-misleading.
Odd question. As I understand it, Apple flouts EU rules regarding standards ( Lightning charge cable comes to mind ). If a company does not play by the same rules as others, can't it simply be barred from the markets that offer them the legal protections ( just as it demands basic compliance ). Or is this a case of too big to regulate.

They should just expire much more rapidly. 20 years is an eternity in the software world, and 10 years, or even 5 years, should be enough to develop a lead, profit a bit, and fund your next invention(s).
Instead of comparing prices compare lifetime value.

Android OEMs support their phones for typically 2-3 years. Apple supports them for at least 5 likely to be longer in the coming years.
I'm confused by some comments here. Speaking out about one evil isn't warranted if there is another that could also be addressed? This flavor of whataboutism is not helping anyone is it?
I am not sure who is harmed in them talking about inclusion and recognition of people who have suffered systemic disadvantage or loss. They are not rallying people up to riot. And even if you don't like the violence which happens at some protests (which I wouldn't like either) there is much more to the idea than the riots which everyone is so focused on. Discrediting the movement because of violence caused by few is a shallow perspective which doesn't address the problem that the movement wanted to solve in the first place.

edit: I see comments vanishing in case anyone is wondering who I was referring to
If you struggle to put it all together,try to flip it and deconstruct. For instance, you want to build a website that pulls trending tweets from twitter's API. Think of it as a whole,i.e. some scrolling boxes showing tweets,maybe a list that keeps growing.Then think how would you go about pulling tweet data from the API.Then how would you store it.How you would read each tweet and show it on the screen and etc. Suddenly,each individual part become much more manageable.
Well, you can write code a lot like this in JavaScript using a library like Ramda, and get a lot of the benefits.

But then everyone that you on-board to that project has to be up to speed with how the code is being written and why.

With Clojure, that understanding is table-stakes.

So in that respect, the conclusion does write itself.
The fact that you couldn't remember red/black trees or splay tree balencing works is a GOOD sign in a software engineer. It means that you're not going to try to re-engineer existing solutions.

I've gone ahead and restored the article, but not knowing much about Rich Hickey I hope someone here can edit the article to actually contain some (sourced, i.e. with citations) content, as it's pretty bare right now (looks/looked like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rich_Hickey&oldid...).

The article was created in 2008 and its deletion was discussed and happened in July 2011: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio... Someone recreated it (without discussion) in August 2013, and it was reverted to its "redirect" state in January 2014. I suspect that notability has changed now (e.g. Clojure itself is more popular, there are other things, and if nothing else his notability as a speaker is probably worth mentioning) and my guess is that if the article were to be discussed again, it might survive. But this is assuming there is actually content for the article that someone can add to it! Otherwise what's the point of an article about a person that doesn't say anything?

If you look at the other articles mentioned in this thread so far (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guido_van_Rossum, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Wall, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Gosling, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Odersky, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasmus_Lerdorf, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukihiro_Matsumoto, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Syme, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Pike) all of them contain some information about their article's subjects, beyond simply mentioning the language they were involved in.

In my experience, adding something well-sourced to Wikipedia is usually a more lasting contribution (probably more people will read it, over time) than comments on HN -- the only downside is that it may get reverted quickly on flimsy grounds and you need some experience to make good edits that will stick.

Edit: Or just mention here what can be added to the article and what the source of each bit of information is, and I'll try to add them!
Could you be more specific? I don't get it.
In some states, the DMV uses the photo you took during your permit test. Clueless 15 year olds show up with messy hair to take the written test, get their photo taken and now that photo could be on your driver's license till your 30s. DMV lets you renew your license by mail without a new photo sometimes.

My license has a picture of a 15-year-old with the height and weight that's quite different from my current self..
Thank you! I did not know you get to a "sql like group by" using uniq -c. That's so cool! I think I used to pipe it to awk and count using an array and then display but your method is far better than mine.
Most state-run and controlled media are much more free than pretty much all mainstream media in the US (see BBC). This is FB saying corporations are more trustworthy than state-backed free media which is laughable (see FOX and friends).

This is like adding DRM to computer games. The only one hurt are those who shouldn't be.
Hi, OP here. I started working on recommender systems in 2016 during my
undergrad, specifically doing music recommendation. I spent about five months
in 2019 trying to make a music startup based on that. However, during that time
I realized that there would probably be more value in having a really good
general-purpose recommender system. i.e. if you're looking for something
specific, use Google, and if you're not looking for something specific, use
Findka. That's the vision anyway.

Some good articles on this topic:

"Search, discovery and marketing"[1]

> Google is very good at giving you what you're looking for, but no good at all
at telling you what you want to find, let alone things you didn't know you
wanted.

"The Big Promise of Recommender Systems"[2] (2011)

> When we evaluate the current generation of recommender systems from the point
of view of the “recommendee,” we find that most recommender systems serve the
goals of the business instead of their users’ interests. Thus we believe that
the big promise of recommender systems has yet to be fulfilled. We foresee a
third wave of recommender systems that act directly on behalf of their users
across a range of domains instead of acting as a sales assistant.

The algorithm currently is dead simple. Just collaborative filtering without
explicitly taking into account content type. So it's naively cross-domain.
Since the data set is still small, there's no need for matrix factorization. I
recompute the whole matrix every hour and store it in memory. See [3] for the
implementation (it only took 30 LOC). That's a little out-of-date but the
general approach hasn't changed.

For the tech stack, I'm using a Clojure web framework + deployment solution
that I made.[4] It's like a self-hosted version of Firebase (I'm running it on
DigitalOcean). See [5].

“Socialising of this risk is fraught with moral hazard” - Daniel Loeb

What does literally happen still in the US Navy, I heard, is that if a warship sinks, the ship's commanding officer's Naval career is over even if everyone involved knows that the sinking was not actually the officer's fault.
No, no assumptions here. If I had to make any assumptions it would be that we do not have enough police officers in total, but that is largely dependent upon geographical or local criteria, much it is with any public service entity such as teachers, firefighters, etc. A $150 million cut (7.2%) in the LAPD budget ($1.8 bn) might mean nothing in the overall functioning of the organization, but to a smaller police department, a 7% cut in funding could mean very bad consequences.
In my area the city had been paying the owners of a golf course thousands of dollars every year to have first dibs on the rights to purchase that land if and when the owners ever decided to sell it.

A few years ago the golf course owners finally decided to sell. The mayor of the city (a real estate developer) decided that the city did not want to buy that land...and then bought the land for himself in a private transaction.

This is an interesting analogy because the roadrunner just runs without looking and everything works out fine.

Wile E. Coyote only has problems because he is aware of what a huge mistake he’s made.

I don’t know what the behavior analogous to road runner is in an economic sense. Perhaps suspending capitalism? I can’t imagine anyone going along with that.
I've had cmarshall.[com|org|net] for a long time. I recently also fetched chrismarshallny.[com|org|net|dev], along with a bunch of various social media handles (see my HN ID). Right now, they point to my LLC site, but I'll probably set up a personal site; sooner or later. I did notice that a squatter had grabbed the Pinterest name. I don't care.

I've decided that ChrisMarshallNY is my "Google Me" name. It's working fairly well.
2020 ICRA Robotics Debates
There are some legitimate and common-sense applications of "terms of service" in physical products. You wouldn't want someone removing a battery from one device to try and retrofit into another and then sell the refurbished device as safe. Inevitable problems could be both a safety issue and injure the reputation of the company.

Whether a phone or watch generally is one of those sorts of products though is certainly something to debate.

Depreciation (writing off a loss on the fed balance sheet) might cause a lot less problems than you think. Recessions like this are already deflationary. Plus global economic slowdowns increase demand for dollars
The normal way payment holidays work is the missing months are added at the end, and the interest (historically incredibly low at the moment) accrues as normal. So the mortgage holders are not really out of pocket here. Nor are the landlords since they can charge another tenant at the extended end of their mortgage term.
Also Houston resident. That whole thing was ridiculous. The problem goes back many years. Municipal and Police blew up the pension budget to something unsustainable through a variety of tactics, and firefighters got nowhere near the amount of cash that those two departments got. Then like 20 years ago when all of the cities in America started defunding pensions and then the chickens came to roost, Houston started issuing crazy bonds to keep up with the police and municipal workers, and firefighters actually had a decent fund that was mostly self sustaining and didn't require external funding as far as I know. Something super high like 90% of their pensions were fully funded.

Then when Houston made budget cuts recently, they disproportionately cut firefighter pensions even though they were mostly responsible and funded, but I guess it looked like a stash of cash to the city. Keep in mind firefighters had previously made pay raise sacrifices to ensure their pension benefits continued. So they wanted the pay raises back since the pensions got cut, and they got laid off (and also some raise was given).

This. And also to intimidate other repair shops. Plus a case like this sets a legal precedent.

Btw. If I by a car from, say, Toyota and go to a shop to have it repaired. Of course the dealer may use off brand parts to repair it.
In the US I had this done in the post office by an on-premise photographer. It's also where I picked up the form to fill out to get a passport in the first place, and where I was going to mail it from anyways, so it's not like the US doesn't have one-stop-shops for this.

> The Fed is buying bonds at market prices

In some trivial sense, sure, but not really; by pouring tons of money into these funds, it is moving the market price. Real market prices are below the levels propped up by the Fed.

I agree with that as that the knowledge they're questioning is more of a recency to being in school. Outside of school you don't write these things. You rely on frameworks and librarys. Why? They're mature and have been verified by others. In addition: if you don't know that software has to be well verified, you are VERY in-experienced in the field.

You run a fusion reaction that mainly produces charged particles, and then convert the KE of the charged particles directly into electricity. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneutronic_fusion#Energy_captu... .

There's just the matter of getting the temperature up to 10x of an ordinary D-T fusion plasma. Non-equilibrium reactors like the polywell try to bypass the problem entirely, but (to my knowledge) it's very hard to maintain a non-thermal state.
Actually, very few of his talks are about Clojure.
Perhaps the violence was not out of control because the police were better enabled by the curfew
in previous days and apprehended/scared off most of the troublemakers? The rioters and looters proved the curfew was necessary. The video seems like it is proof the police are more than willing to treat people with respect if they themselves are not being violent or enabling of those who are being violent.

The Fed has two corporate facilities in-place right now: the Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility and the Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility. ETF purchases fall under the SMCCF. Secondary corporate bond purchases are also under the SMCCF but they have not made any purchases yet. There is an issuer registration process that is thought to carry some stigma (Google "discount window stigma" if not familiar with something similar) especially with backlash towards larger companies taking advantage of PPP. There are no issuers currently registered.

As far as primary issuance goes, the same issuer registration process is in play. There are pretty punitive funding fees vs where syndicated bond issuance is right now so there's little incentive for issuers to participate in it as well.

Primary corporate markets are very wide open and have been ever since they announced these facilities. Investment grade issuance is at over $1trn on the year and have been very concentrated in the last few months. The Fed has bought around $6bn in ETFs so far which is really nothing in the grand scheme of things. The main effect these facilities have had so far is restore market confidence.

That's a hypothetical I disagree with.

Politicians will always address their counterparts and should always try to inform their constituents. It's up to the constituents to stay educated.

Censoring politicians because people might be too stupid is a really bad reason.
I've noticed that employees in many professions are covering (often "accidentally") the identifying information on their badges. Not crazy about that, but I'm sure they're not crazy about having crazies show up on their doorstep at midnight.

The advent of our panopticon arguably makes this less important. Maybe we should keep expanding that.
First of all: "The police have frankly earned every last scintillia of their hatred from their actions and lack of accountability." Is just ignorant. The VAST majority of police are wonderful people who have dedicated their lives to helping others. Secondly, you have no idea what the stakes are for anyone who is following orders, and it could vary from: none at all too: not being able to pay for their child's leukemia treatments.

Is there some sort of camera fingerprinting technology out there, then, that distinguishes between processing done on the camera vs. post-processing in software? If not, how are we even going to tell, short of having signed files coming off the chip?
How is my justification craven - "lacking in courage or cowardly"? What do you think I am hiding from? I am open and forward about my desire to abolish cops and prisons to anyone who asks.

What is willfully ignorant is pretending violent protest does not (also) achieve results, or that violence can never be justified without "undermining" peaceful protest. Both are legitimate.

> We've all seen the videos.

Yeah, of cops murdering people for decades. You want craven? It's anyone who capes for anything the cops are doing now, including any negative discussion of looters.

Fuck the police. Once we're done with that, we can talk about your broken window.

This isn't true.
Do BBC and NPR actually buy Facebook ads? Especially NPR, I feel like it's not exactly the type of organization that would like Facebook or want to do business with them.

I think I am also adding meaningful context to bring back the original issue on "right to repair". the commentor is masking the actual issue! its unfair to downvote without talking actual issue. look at other comments where it says the shop owner is not marketing them as apple products
That is a rather impoverished explanation of a complicated word. A closer description would be "to understand something on such a deep and personal level that the lines of identity between it and you blur."

Here's a passage from the book that coined the term (as a word from an alien language)

> Grok means "to understand," of course, but Dr. Mahmoud, who might be termed the leading Terran expert on Martians, explains that it also means, "to drink" and "a hundred other English words, words which we think of as antithetical concepts. 'Grok' means all of these. It means 'fear,' it means 'love,' it means 'hate'—proper hate, for by the Martian 'map' you cannot hate anything unless you grok it, understand it so thoroughly that you merge with it and it merges with you—then you can hate it. By hating yourself. But this implies that you love it, too, and cherish it and would not have it otherwise. Then you can hate—and (I think) Martian hate is an emotion so black that the nearest human equivalent could only be called mild distaste.
Probably illegal. And certainly a good way to get your ass kicked by protesters (and the police).
