This may be of interest to you as well. I found some of the original video lectures from the 1980 session of the Berkeley Grad level Interactive Computer Graphics class on Youtube. James Blinn, Ed Catmull, Alvy Ray Smith. All working at Lucasfilm at the time in the days before Pixar. The demos are still pretty compelling!

That's incorrectly ordered, Rupert Murdoch wishes he was Mark Zuckerberg. You can see that in the non-stop whining - projected envy - out of News Corp about the power of the FB platform over the course of many years.

Zuckerberg is also ~12 times wealthier than Murdoch (who has a declining empire).

Most recently:

"News Corp Australia blamed Google and Facebook for undermining the profitability of Australian media outlets, including 60 of the company's local newspapers that may publish for the last time next week."

That's not how it works. They can't censor. It's why they don't. Can you show me anyone who has been #Canceled from their phone service? Ever wonder why nobody demanded Harvey Weinstein or Trump lose their phone numbers? Because they can't do it.

If AT&T wants to censor, they have to go find other business. They can't be in the telephone business and censor. It's a lawsuit and possible jail for the execs involved.

People are so desperate to justify censorship that they'll make up nonsense. I can't believe anyone is dumb enough to believe all the pro-censorship nonsense in my thread. The only explanation is bias once again forcing people to make up and accept nonsense.

Tell HN: Azlo Discontinues Developer API
Hi Nikolay,

According to our records, you participated in the Azlo
Developer API beta program. This note is just to let you know that we’re going to be discontinuing the Azlo Developer API soon.

As of Friday, June 19, you will no longer be able to access the Azlo Developer API, or any of the related resources at developer.azlo.com. We appreciate your help in beta testing this feature, but we have decided to divert resources to other projects at this time.

Thanks,

The Azlo Team
> ...moving the EC (which should not be abolished IMO) into electing actual electors by district.

It’s honestly surprising that only two states are winner-takes-all by district. The other 48 are winner-takes-all for the whole state.
> Scala is a language I find interesting. Between Spark, Akka, and all of the FP, it seems like it has most of the boxes I’d want. I have read mixed things about the language though, specifically with respect to its future viability and development. Is Scala worth learning in 2020?

Scala has always attracted an outsized amount of hate and FUD. That said, Scala 3 has taken a long time to arrive, costing the language a lot of momentum, and makes some fairly radical changes.

I'm a huge fan of Scala and I really want it to succeed. Haskell's laziness is a dealbreaker IMO (it makes it impossible to reason about performance), and no other language offers the combination of:

1. A type system powerful enough to replace all your uses of reflection/AOP/metaclassing/etc.. No more magic frameworks to learn; write real-world business applications using nothing but plain old functions and values that follow the normal rules of the language (e.g. your web routes can be literally a function from request to response; they don't look quite as nice as a dedicated routing config file would, but they're normal code that automated refactoring etc. will work normally on). Concretely, what makes this possible is the combination of higher-kinded types (letting you represent any custom effect, e.g. a database transaction, as an F[_] type, and then use the language's for/yield syntax to compose those effects in a way that makes them visible but not overly verbose/intrusive), and records (letting you "walk the object graph" in a type-safe way). Scala can do all this without having to resort to general-purpose macros (there is one macro in shapeless that the whole rest of the ecosystem just reuses), so you can be confident that your IDE/debuggers/etc. will all understand your code.

2. A proper first-class IDE, and a good declarative build tool integrated fully with that IDE (maven - for some reason the Scala community pushes the incomprehensible SBT, but ignore that).

3. Completely seamless compile-to-javascript experience. You write normal code, push the button, and there it is running in your browser. When you want to use a library you import typescript type definitions with https://scalablytyped.org/ and it all just works. Combined with the previous point that means Scala is actually the best language to use for frontend development right now. Unfortunately the set of people who know about Scala and the set of people who do frontend development don't really overlap.

I'm not wedded to Scala for the sake of Scala. But no other language comes close.

All that said, it definitely feels like the next year or two could be a turning point (in either direction) for the popularity of the language. Scala 3 may revitalise scala or destroy it. So it's undeniably a risk. But I'd say that even if the language becomes less popular, learning it will make you a better programmer and give you an appreciation for what's possible.
Lol downvoted. ON HACKER NEWS. Fuck happened to this place?
I think a rule of thumb is that something must have been written that was about you, rather than about your creation or whatever. The idea is that as Wikipedia is supposed to be a summarization of the secondary sources on a topic, there should be some material that would fit only in an article about you, and not in the article on whatever you're famous for. Some interesting examples are in the section about “people notable for only one event”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#... (which is not about people who created something and does not apply here! Just mentioning it for what it shows about interesting aspects of their policy.)
> Google may have taken that video down in accordance with their policy to delete videos the are counter to WHO policy.

Good grief. Why are urban legends so hard to kill? There is no such policy. There never was.

The source of that bit of ginned-up outrage was an informal interview (when I looked this up earlier, there wasn't even video or a transcript available anywhere!) where someone senior was asked about what Youtube's criteria were for vetting advice in the face of the pandemic. And the answer was a hand-wavy thing about how anything that was clearly wrong, or clearly dangerous, and one of the examples given was about medical advice that clearly runs counter to existing health care bodies like the WHO.

And that's as far as it went. There never was a policy about the WHO. To my knowledge no video was ever removed because of a conflict with the WHO.

The whole point wasn't to nitpick about exactly what the WHO said, it was to reference the fact that Youtube would adhere to expert consensus where possible.

> That is what is wrong with platforms like Google and Facebook adopting the role of fact-checkers.

The irony there is that, had Google or Facebook or someone taken on that role, you wouldn't have internalized this fake fact because whoever it was that spun it to you wouldn't have had an audience. But they didn't. So you got lied to.

Which is better?

The markets need aggressive orders as well as passive orders. There is nothing inherently bad about liquidity taking. It is generally just as beneficial as liquidity providing. If anything, the misuse of passive orders is probably more common than the misuse of aggressive orders because passive orders can be used to influence a market without trading.

Even the taking of liquidity in the anticipation of a price move is not inherently bad. It is only bad if it degrades market efficiency (for example, by adding instability). An aggressive order that anticipates a price move due to an existing market inefficiency (for example, a sudden over-reaction to a report) benefits the market by speeding price discovery and adding stability.

As to your question of how an aggressive HFT strategy could benefit Vanguard, consider that if Vanguard places a passive order, it is because Vanguard hopes to attract an aggressive matching order. If they are unable to attract one within their time requirement, they will likely need to change their order to a less-profitable price. Their time requirement could be quite short during times of great volatility. An HFT strategy able to more-quickly recognize that Vanguard's original price was attractive would save Vanguard the cost of a price change. This benefit can be particularly large during significant market stress when participants are forced to liquidate assets in order to manage risk.

Think of all the money, real estate wealth, media presence and power that exists in NYC. This is why.

NYPD can operate with impunity, because they know they will not be exposed by local media and will be backed up by the financial power they are protecting.

Contrast this with any other city, whose police force may have unfortunate levels of systemic cover and approval, but nothing even close to NYPD.

Additionally to all of that, the militarization of police forces that many seem to be aware of nationally, seems to have occurred with NYPD as much as any other force [0][1] (9/11 being the obvious reason). So they are extremely well funded, well supported, and "well" (over) trained as far as tactics and methods.

There's also documented, but controversial [2] examples of some of this wealth and power mixing with ethnic conflict, that have resulted in shameful racist abuses of... well it isn't even police, but a sort of "private" force that a lot of people don't know about which has surprising amounts of funding and power. Fact that something like this even exists with limited coverage in media given the abuses is pretty surprising.

A ton of embedded systems and software relies on having an open SMTP relay to send emails. Network printers and monitoring solutions are a prime culprit.

That may not in itself be a bad thing. The scary thing about UBI is that we'd create an unhealthy dependence on the state. I could see it derailing.

And you can see similar things in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. I used to preach UBI but now I'm sceptical. I think minimum wage is a less dangerous tool.

Get this: before announcing the salary trade-off option, they already gave negative feedback to people in positions they were looking to cut. Then they announced the salary exchange option as an opt-in for the entire company, saying that if people trade at least 30% of salary across the board they wouldn't lay anyone off. You could opt to trade anywhere from 1% to your entire salary for 2x pre-Covid stock valuation. People who were concerned about getting laid off traded more as a result. Some of them were laid off anyways after working for reduced salary.

This is a great comment. People complain about youtube censorship... on YouTube.

There is a widespread misunderstanding of the YouTube removal reasons. Bad faith actors are spreading these rumors and creating conditions to falsely claim censorship.

For example, most "alt-right" videos and users were removed due to their targeted harassment of other users. But they mix it in a larger video and then claim that YouTube removed the video for the generalized content. This is a bad faith argument, and they know what they are doing.
That's correct, which is why I said _starts_ with the streams. The child can do what it wants with them after that.

I have never had my fingerprints taken for my American passport. For my Croatian passport, I had to go to the consulate in Los Angeles (halfway across the country for me) to get my identity verified and my fingerprints taken.
