> Did you consider asking while meditating?

hehe funny enough, I did it 20 minutes before writing this post. I couldn't find the answer inside so I though: "Fuck it, let's ask HN"
Read "The most good you can do".
Hahaha, I actually got interested in marketing from reading patio11's stuff back in the day! However marketing is definitely still more of a hobby for me, my main focus and day job is frontend DevOps. I do love treating this whole social media game as an engineering problem though.

My channel is still small, it's mostly software engineering career advice and personal finance (videos like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4YeX6tbR60).
Is the Catalan Independence still a big topic?
"Dissolve the organization and start over from scratch" is an under-used solution in American life, even in the private sector.

Apparently Camden, NJ did a version of this in 2013 with a fair amount of success: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-04/how-camde...
>>However, as public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission

This post is pretty double speaky because these doctors can't quite come out and say stay home because the virus is still here and dangerous. So they say things which are self contradictory and therefore ultimately meaningless but allow themselves to signal their support for the cause.

It's what happens when your institutions become explicitly partisan.
There’s a counter added to the encrypted portion of metadata of the message. The receiving client increments the counter by +1 if it forwards it. At some point, some client receives a message that has the maximum amount of forwards and thus the option to forward it won’t be shown by that client. This is handled in-app. An old or modified client won’t do anything with it, you can try it. It’s not a server-side thing but embedded in the E2EE’d data.
I admit I definitely need to do some more reading of those authors. Anything, in particular, you'd suggest to get me started?
A slight tangent, but one very nice side benefit with split keyboards is that if you use a Mac and use a Magic Trackpad, you can fit the trackpad between the two keyboard halves and split the mousing load between your two hands. Just switching to this setup (versus a normal mouse off to the right) took a lot of pain off my right wrist.
It sounds kind of crazy on the surface but it makes sense - what else would you do if you completely lost faith in the police force to do its job effectively? It would probably seen easier to disband it and replace it with something else than to try and reform such an organization.
Users blocking ads know damn well they are not giving me anything. Some of them might decide to back my Patreon because of this, some of them will back my future Kickstarter because of this.

Users running Brave and buying their crypto will assume they are supporting me, even if all Brave has done to tell me they’re holding crypto for me was to send email to an address at my domain that doesn’t actually exist.
I see it a bit differently. Some people get on a cycle of taking action, reviewing the results, and learning to improve the results of their next action. All three of those I cited have that in their DNA (or so it seems to me). Learning from others is a key aspect of that approach. In reviewing the results, and even before taking the action, search for how others have approached the same problem. Not necessarily to copy them, but to identify what worked and adopt it, what didn't work and avoid it, then, synthesize and move forward to the next challenge.

A Musk quote that stuck with me came in the midst of one of his Twitter escapades wherein he was regularly attacked for seemingly erratic, likely sleep-deprived statements. He came across as very defensive to a reporter who asked him if he felt he could accept criticism. He responded, "How do you think rockets get into space?" He may not be so concerned about how Wall Street perceives his character, but when it comes to SpaceX, and likely all of his serious endeavors, he's relentlessly critical of solutions.

Hacker News is just one source to get ideas, learn new things and practice rational thinking. Folks around here are more than happy to help hone your skills. If you can carry that into daily life, you'll catch a rabbit or two.
There's ANS Forth. Chuck Moore doesn't like it, but it exists.
But that’s not a good analogy. The right to protest is important precisely to protect unpopular (but still widespread enough to have many supporters) demonstrations.
It can: you can just apply encryption after the FEC/ECC. This is done for example in GSM and I believe in many other radio systems. Of course there is one huge caveat: it inherently means that you are doing MAC-then-Encrypt which is generally disliked as error-prone.

I hope one day we don’t have to think about these things any longer but given our history I think it is worth keeping them in mind.
Oh for Christ's sake, not this again.

I will not call slaved drives minions. Those drives have work delegated to them by a drive specially configured with authority over the writing process for the group. The word fits. I will not change the meaning of whitelist (implicit deny, conditional allow) and blacklist(implicit allow, conditional deny) because of the political hot potato of the month.

The white and black in white list and blacklist are there to contest the opposition of the mechanism. The fact particular people to whom everything comes back down to race issues can't help but project their favorite topic of discussion where there is quite literally no tangible place for it is not my problem. It's theirs.

Same with white hat and black hat. Nothing to do with race. It comes from the habit in old Westerns whereby "the good guys" could be identified by their wearing of white or light hats, and "the evil guy" always ended up with a black hat on. No race issue. No dog whistling; and the only ones who see any type of racial undertones are ironically the ones who think they're fighting racists.

Take your agendas elsewhere. We don't need to be rejustifying fundamental cultural concepts in terms of neutral and weak phraseology. We have plenty of history to build on, and frankly if you're a practitioner in the field you should be ashamed for even allowing this notional type of "virtue signaling" to pop up. It would be like a woodworker's apprentice walking in demanding that everyone stop calling a screw a screw because it offends their sensibilities to so closely associate the name of a penetrative fastener to a euphemism for sex. The problem is not the rest of the industry in question.

Given the limited amount of time we all have on Earth to get something substantive done, why don't we actually focus on doing something rather than trying to manufacture old conflicts in new times. This damn argument has been had 1000 times before and will likely be had 1000 thence from this outburst.

Stop pretending that someone has a point when people take your jargon out of context and apply some agenda favoring connotation to it. To do so is to let yourself and your work be colored as something else than it fundamentally is.

>To do so is to let yourself and your work be colored as something else than it fundamentally is. ... Nice slip up there Mr. Racis...

I'll write you a stern letter of disapproval for intellectual disingenuity if you finish that. You know damned well what I intended to say, and I'd do it only reluctantly and might not at all if in the end all it would accomplish is giving you the satisfaction of pretending I just somehow indirectly admitted you (note the use of the Royal you) had a point. No one who follows this asinine attempt at trying to look sympathetic and "emotionally in touch with the struggles of People of Color" does.

For once, check your 'ism's' at the door. Life is hard enough without people going out of their way to race bait.

It will be great if in the future war is simply a function of how much money you’re willing to spend to destroy a target. Probably not much anyone can do to defend against a swarm of drones that never gets tired, never misses targets and doesn’t even care about death.

Interesting tweets - I could see myself agreeing with a lot of those points a few years ago, before I decided to go into management instead. More recently, I seem to find a "thrill" of sorts in navigating any external bureaucracy and filtering it down to concrete technical requirements for my team.
They can both be true. Signal Protocol for message encryption is something different than Signal the official Signal Protocol client. ;) That’s where the difference lies and why the statement can be true: WhatsApp uses Signal Protocol for its encryption, but WhatsApp isn’t Signal.
You clearly haven’t used jitsi in the last 6 months or so.
I don't think it will work. Minneapolis has one of the highest crime rates in the country, just as Baltimore did, and that city saw crime rates rise even higher after protests led to tighter regulations on the Police ... but I don't live in Minneapolis and so I'm curious to see how it will turn out. I support this as a great social experiment.

Certainly within the EU, eggs are generally of a higher standard than in the US; there are generally completely safe to eat raw in the EU, whereas this would be unwise in the US.

Comparing the number of salmonella deaths/cases between (for example) the UK and the US is rather interesting/amusing depending on ones perspective.

The goal of the S3 team at Amazon, or somebody like Backblaze is to make hard drives 100% of costs. That is, they want to reduce the cost of compute, datacenters, racks etc. to approximately zero.

If CPUs are dominating your costs or performance, then you're doing S3 Compatible Object Storage wrong IMO.
Unarmed police in other countries seem to handle those situations just fine.

You could say that about anything. Most common jargon already have a clear meaning.

Primary/secondary has a clear meaning to me, same with leader/follower. Both are very different from master/slave.

I'm not saying we must at all cost continue to use master/slave, I'm not married to that piece of language. But I'm struggling to find cases where primary/secondary would be a good replacement for master/slave. That's assuming master/slave was a good fit in the first place.
What could go wrong? Lunatics are running the asylum it seems. Authority is always here. Disband the police and you will get another arbitrary authority (being gangs, some kind of political repression, and so). There already are no-go zones in Europa where the police don't go anymore, believe me, you wouldn't want to live there.

If you don't want the official police anymore, why not starting with your place, your home and your family?
Indeed, Americans need to realize that almost everything about our society is a bad first draft, in need of prompt replacement. People reflexively defend existing institutions, but the more I've thought about it over the years, the more I've realized there's almost no aspect of American life worth preserving. Police departments might be a good place to start, but most American cities also need to address structural deficit, disposable built environments, persistent segregation, absurd jurisprudence, and more.
Dang wasn't aware, thanks for the info
Actually Signal is uploading contacts with their first and lastname to the cloud now. Or is planning to do so. Read their blog about that f-ing PIN feature. Its explained there. I hope they don’t go through with it, I absolutely do not wish to use some cloud; not even Signal’s. My data should be 100% local. And that they’re gonna push this without a back-up feature for iOS feels a bit like them raising their middle finger to us.

I'm on close to day 90 now. The most noticeable symptom is the cough, which has been getting better but refuses to go away. And after two weeks of total anosmia, six weeks later my smell is maybe 80% back, but there are many things I still cannot smell.

As someone with no history of coughing or any illness, it's getting very exhausting. Hopefully the day with no symptoms will come soon, and I am looking forward to donating plasma, in the hope that someone will benefit from it and avoid or reduce their suffering.
If you think things are worse now than in the 1960's, I don't know what to tell you. They were way worse.

Multiple politicians assassinated. Major multi-day riots across multiple cities with hundred dead. Then a president being impeached.

2020 doesn't even come close to the 1960's.
Here's the thing though, ten people DO NOT do this.

Most people give up after one video. Or never post anything to begin with. I pretty much gave up for 6 months after trying to make one video and got back on the horse recently a few months ago.

Even if the grind doesn't "pay off" in views, it's paying off in other ways for me regardless. I'm way better at speaking in front of a camera now than a few months ago. My writing ability has improved drastically because I'm writing 1-2 scripts a week now. I've gotten a lot better at video editing, which I always enjoyed a bit anyway.

You can't really lose. Even if you never become "middleclass YouTube famous" you're still building skills that are handy in other fields (especially writing and communication ones!)
I'm curious to know if this GPS example has any significant dependencies on prior technologies/physics that was only possible after Einstein discovered general relativity. I don't know enough physics or history to know how much would be different, but can anyone weigh in on if GPS satellites would still be possible?
No it wasn't. The argument was that the costs outweighed the benefits. Let's do this:

They are not only protesting the killing of unarmed black people, but all aspects of the structural bias of American police and the justice system against blacks. These biases affect much more than the extreme cases of the killing of unarmed black people.

Again no. I'm the person maintaining those machines. The maintenance cost is practically zero. Occasionally (every few months) we may need to buy a set of 1/8" bits (for $10).

Entry level CNC machines can be assembled pretty cheaply. eg PrintNC:

I think at least part of the reason tech has become complex is because so many tech stacks today are a briar patch of 3rd party libraries and components that no one person can understand. The 'Don't reinvent the wheel' rule of thumb has practically become a mantra, and enables this. Newer developers who grow up in the online community are so afraid to think for themselves, lest they get mortified to death for doing something dumb. So it's sort of a self-perpetuating complexity problem.
Well no, but the problem is it's a misleading analogy, misleading enough that it's inadequate for any amount of formalism.
That is the very definition of professional.

>When people who normally do not pay attention are forced to see what's happening, then change can occur. It's going to be uncomfortable for a lot of people as they come to terms with their own privilege

Unfortunately you're very correct there, though not in the way I think you're assuming. Force people with influence, power, money, ability to be above common problems, to see what's happening and you're not going to get a pat on the back. Change is certainly going to happen, and it's not going to be the change you're hoping for.
I mentioned this solution in a comment the other day. The NCAA gives sports programs the 'death penalty' when the 'loss of institutional control' [0] is so great the only fix is to disband and start over. Having it as an option is a good thing. The people in charge can't use an 'I didn't know' defense, because that itself is evidence of loss of institutional control.

This is the strategy used at Burning Man, and it seems to work quite well from what I’ve heard, though it’s admittedly not a very representative slice of society. There are “rangers” who deal with safety issues or disputes, and camps devoted to caring for people who might be having a bad trip (or other kind of episode) in a compassionate way. They will only call the police as a last resort.

I think a similar approach at the community level would be great to see in the US. Rather than fighting the police head-on to try to make them respect our rights as they should (a tall order), we could instead try to make them largely redundant. Of course, there will always be some situations where armed police are necessary, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s less than 1% of the calls they’re currently responding to.

So are you arguing that useful measurements are impossible for specific topics or are you just stating that flawed research is less useful than it could be (which it obviously is)?

I can recommend having a look at the book „how to measure anything“ to get a sense of how to apply measurement techniques to „soft“ contexts.

> I would rather see police reforms and a rethinking of priorities

Why? Surely any new policing entity will entail the philosophy of reform and keeping the rotten part around would be detrimental.
Or you could just have a length of black hose in the sun without the solar collector at all. When the area of hose seen by the sun is the same area as the collector opening, the hose will be receiving the same amount of solar energy as the collector could provide.
you think criminals will be scared of self-policed cities? the area already has a high crime rate.

Unlike people, not all deaths are created equal (in my opinion). What I mean is: a death caused by systematic oppression/racism (especially from an entity whose core purpose is to “serve and protect”) is in some deontological sense worse than a death resulting from e.g. a car accident or even a virus. Some things defy utilitarian calculus.

Also, you have to consider that there is widespread and life changing psychological injury (trauma) inflicted on minorities from years, decades, centuries of systemic injustice along every axis of life. Imagine being a child and growing up with a worldview that you and your loved ones are in constant danger (from people that are supposed to protect you, no less) based solely on the color of your skin. I keep thinking of the powerful words of George Floyd’s friend Stephen Jackson in this clip (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-0JdWfUJYYU):

>”We, as black men, have seen a lot of stuff as far as people being murdered and taken from us, right? But now, not only it’s been seen by us and our brothers, but it’s been seen by our children now. So I’m sitting there watching this and my daughter...my daughter tells me, ‘Dad I can’t leave you, cause I seen what happened to your friend, and I think you need me.’ My daughter is 6 years old. For my daughter to see that, and tell me that I need her at 6, imagine the pain and frustration that’s in my mind right now”.
