What do you think they're (slowly, to avoid antitrust attention) doing?

Game streaming, dating, selling used shit, payments, workplace "social" platform, video hosting&subscribing, etc.

They're on their way.
Thank you, this is exactly what I meant. Not sure what that other commenter is on about.
It's a shithole with it too. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Tumblr, Twitch, the list goes on. Every single bad thing we've dealt with since 2010 has been started or exacerbated not even by the existence of these platforms, but by the way they've been managed, and the protections Section 230 has given them against any liability.

This protection needed to be pulled when Twitch banned Hong Kong players. It needed to be pulled when Google agreed with the PRC to provide a backdoor into users' searches in China. Zuckerberg should be rotting in jail for the Facebook platform's policies... policies that have enabled election fraud, made child trafficking and pornography more accessible and easier to hide. We aren't even dealing with the worst of it. I have first-hand knowledge that one of telecom providers in India and South Asia has been trying for years to get out from under agreements it signed with Facebook that went south. These platforms have played a huge role in expanding substance abuse, tobacco use, and crime in youth elsewhere in the world.

They get away with accountability because of crap policies like Section 230. At the very least, there needs to be a quick path to prosecution and regulation.

4chan is bad, but go to Twitter's company page and look at the organizations they are working with on their policies. Every single one is a progressive, special interest group. JK Rowling should be enough proof that the circle of approvable persons will eventually close in and exclude you too, and for a stupidly heinous reason, like, humans who lick their balls are just as domestic as any dog... or John Oliver is actually funny. You know, something real offensive.
Lynching black people and hanging them from trees where their red blood ran. "Red black tree" reduces that history to a mere three words and should really be changed.

That may sound preposterous, but it's making the same claim as the rest of the moral panic over names in tech.
Help make side project work more efficient and fun for developers [Survey]
but many do.
That's literally the status quo. Yes, I probably favor that over this.

My point is three-fold:

1. There's no education about what this actually means. This has been pitched as during the 2020 election, hide ads from candidates. But it's not that. The coverage is unclear and it's unlikely Facebook will fully explain.

2. There's no flexibility to let people change the settings how they truly wish. Maybe I want to hear from organizations I belong to but don't want to see ads from political figures, for example. There's no setting for this. Keep in mind, you can be a dues-paying member of an org, follow them on Facebook, and still rarely see their organic posts. Facebook limited to reach of Facebook pages to encourage advertising, so simply being a Fan isn't a reliable way to see updates.

3. The meaning of "politics" is unclear. It allows ads from polluting companies, but not from environmental orgs. The restriction applies to Black Lives Matter, but possibly not to organizations raising money for police.
Consider that I couldn't agree more with your statement, yet to me, the GP post sounds exactly like (one side of) the extremists we're discussing.
Unfortunately, illegal business models seem commonplace at least in the US. See the various food delivery companies committing fraud by misrepresenting themselves as the restaurants (buying domains & phone numbers and outranking the legitimate website on search engines), etc.
I would have to assume that plenty of home computers, routers, and Android devices are involved in botnets as well. Do unsuspecting people with malware on their device get visited by the police if criminals are using their computer as a relay?

Punitive vacant property taxes would solve that.

You do have a choice - don't use Apple.

> On Apple you don't have that choice so the onerousness of the store policies effects consumers by proxy but the lack of freedom for users directly is far worse.

This is one of those "popular on HN because it impacts developers" points. Everyone I know is extremely happy with their iPhone in terms of apps and the appstore. Allowing a flood of apps will not make it better for a lot of developers - ones that followed the rules and didn't make shovelware. Now good apps will get drowned out in a sea of garbage.
The old, traditional yogurts were made by using soil (yes, literally earth). The soil had the bacteria required :)
Man I should just start coding on a twitch account for my side projects. I can't go to meetups anymore for obvious reasons and I have been putting it off.
Space porn.
I used to have an office job in the oil industry but the company I worked for had quite the opposite attitude. Due to a strong union there was a department where "restructured" people, to the tune of ~900 at some point - went on to do absolutely jack schitt until a project or activity needed resources. In which case you'd first have to go fish in that pond and if you simply couldn't find the correct skill set then you'd look for resources outside of the company. Some people stayed there for years until retirement.

On the field work side there were a couple of rounds of layoffs as automation started to kick in. Most in the field were contractors so their employer moved them around companies as needed. But for one person to see 30 rounds of layoffs I'd say it's still quite a bit of bad luck.
+1 for ocean beach under a dense fog. Also something to be said for finally making it to the lineup after a tough paddle out.
"All Lives Matter" taken literally totally is compatible with "Black Lives Matter". However "All Lives Matter" when said is not meant literally. No one said all livers matter until someone said "Black Lives Matters". It's an attempt to shut down "Black Lives Matter". And the opposite of "Black Lives Matter" isn't the opposite of "All Lives Matter", the opposite is Black Lives Don't Matter, which is what is happening when so many black people are killed by the police and no one says or does anything. Looking at the evidence how black people are treated by law enforcement as well as the legal system, that they are treated as less than equal.
Yup remember how the NDP is bankrupting your future, the economic damage to giving money away is going to bite the youngest generations in the ass in 5 to 10 years.

Not even just the submissions, these sort of articles end up in discussions that break majority of thr In Comments guidelines, shattering any illusions that HN is somehow superior to everywhere else on the internet.

IMO, I don't think the articles should neccesarily be flagged, as the rules seem kinda loosely interpreted on this stuff, but more of the comments should probably be flagged than get so.

You call it self-censorship. I call it opsec. In case you haven't noticed, we don't live in a "liberal democracy". We live in a police state, where anything you say or write can be held against you, and you're lucky if it happens in a court of law.
Apple rejects Hey email client from App Store for selling subscription off-app
I don't know what the right answer is but as far as analogies go the phone companies don't decide which calls you get and which of your incoming calls/texts to make a priority.

Twitter and certainly Facebook do run algorithms that decide which of the 300 things the 1000 people you friended or follow should be displayed and in what order so they get decide what to emphasize as important by deciding what you see first and even what you see at all.

In order to be the same as the phone company they'd have to give you the entire feed of every person you follow in chronological order, no filtering.

I suppose one solution for them. They could default to no filtering and let users turn on filters. Then it would be the user's choosing the filters, not them. I'm not sure what scrutiny the filters themselves would need.

A simple filter like "show nothing with the word 'poop' in it" would seem safe. A complex filter like "let this ML algo decide for me" I have no idea.

Smart. But is it too late? Payment apps such as Venmo and others became very popular in recent years. Everyone already has one installed on their phone and connected to their bank account. Although at least Venmo is such a crappy and stupid app that maybe it's not too late.

This just shows again how slow big companies are. The idea of allowing payments within whatsapp has been talked about for at least 3 years now. They are only now starting to experiment with it.
Yeah right. Just today's search in DDG news for 'apple monopoly':

Right, but this is in the context of AWS, where Amazon has got thousands of customers running their own code in its data center. I'd (naively?) assumed that any novel protocols to ship data back and forth between hosts in that environment would have been built on TLS from day 1.
If the user interface depends on synchronous IO something is very wrong.
I'd be curious to see a couple of organizations that have taken different approaches in this area discuss how they made decisions around investing in observability systems. When metrics gets to be a meaningful fraction of your total data size, and when it gets to be an operational burden on its own, I think it's tempting to ask "Do we really need to emit and store all this?" especially if you acknowledge that only ~2% of writes ever get read.

In some sense, the organization is making an expected value of information estimate, where there's a complex interaction
between the data you have and actions you can take, especially to preempt or resolve issues.
I can imagine some day in the future where people start tearing down statues because they were meat eaters.
Cross-Cluster Traffic Mirroring with Istio
> porn

Sure, this is a fair exception. FB has decided that it does not want to be a porn site. We may all disagree with that decision, but it's theirs to make.

> lies about non-political topics

Can you elaborate on this? It is 100% possible to post non-political lies on FB. The only exception to this is libel/defamation and false advertising, but that's for legal reasons. And even there, you can only sue for material damages incurred, and cannot simply sue for the speech in question (which is itself protected).

To the extent that FB wants its platform to contain political ads (factual or otherwise), it's because they subjectively see value in a global platform for users to decide for themselves what is true and what is false. You may argue that this is bad for society/bad for democracy, which is fair. Facebook clearly seems to disagree with that, which is also fair.

When you see a bad ad on TV, you might talk about it with your spouse or kids. When you see a bad ad on Facebook, you argue with 1000 strangers.

I deactivated my Facebook account 6 months ago or so for precisely that reason. I was in a "community group" for my neighbourhood and every little thing would descend into an argument you would never have if you were talking in person. For example, a person complained that his neighbour was shoveling the snow from his sidewalk onto the road instead of his yard. Huge 40 person argument began. People act different online.

> specifically the subset that includes natural resources (specifically precious metals) mineable on mars. How much of that market is bottlenecked by supply?

IIRC, mining on Mars for export to Earth doesn't make much sense vs mining on an asteroid, since you're paying for transport through an extra gravity well.
I have the following in my Sway configuration and can't get it to work on anything other than Chromium and Electron apps, for some reason:

Apparently new_window is deprecated. Not quite sure why it acts like this, but it's nice to reclaim those extra pixels, especially since Waybar displays the window title anyway.
The terror of layoffs isn’t just in losing your job; it’s in the unpredictability of it. If you know you’re going to be unemployed in 3 months, you can prepare. Suddenly finding yourself unemployed right now is a different beast altogether.
Even with chunks it's prohibitively expensive at this scale, and you then need some intermediate system batching the inbound data either to disk (then why use S3 instead of a database) or in memory (more expensive, more risk of data loss).
VS already hires super-attractive models.

And they still find it advantageous to edit their images... touch-up skin tones to make them more "generically white", bigger boobs (when most of the models have ample bosoms already), remove "flab" from elbows. And then remove nipples, because despite selling lingerie and pushing a sexy image, a cloth-covered nipple is a bridge too far.

It's a sad testament to Western perception of beauty and body norms.
If T-bills are in such low demand, and investors are so spooked by the prospect of the US not being able to pay back it's debts, why are yields so low across the board? Oh wait, it's because there is huge overwhelming demand for treasuries right now because everyone knows that the markets have been totally fubared by the central banks.
Yeah, not sure why ksowocki was downvoted...
Not to mention you already could accomplish this by blocking ads from those specific parties... just like you could block ads from a company.
I've been feeling stupid these past few days because I've been using ffmpeg for the first time. I've been trying to take an rtsp stream from a security camera and transcode it, restream it, to something that can be viewed in an html video tag. It works, with poor quality, in Firefox, but in Chrome just a green screen. (I also tried using vlc/cvlc's streaming). I've been feeling stupid because of all the copy/pasting from the web into the command line without understanding what I was doing.
Yeah, actually, I would. Since HN doesn't provide a "delete account" feature, why don't you do everybody a favor and just ban this account?
Great looking board - for your use case (playing at home/practicing) it should be great. That is a nice basic set of pedals too!

But a tip as you get started on your guitar gear journey:

1. DO NOT go on the gear board - it will just get you to spend money on stuff you really don't need. I would avoid it until you are at whatever proficiency level you have set for your self.

2. Seriously consider a multi-fx as a way to try many types of effects - so you get an idea of what they do, and how they might interact with each other.

3. And the most important advise - tone is in the hands! 99% of the time, that new flavor of the month distortion/overdrive won't make you a better player, it will just drain your wallet.

After spending thousands on pedals and pedalboards (boards, cables, power supplies, etc.) I sold all of my pedals and basically use a Helix Effects, a boss TU-3 Tuner and a OneSpot CS6 power supply on a Pedaltrain Metro 16. Does everything I need. And will do everything I ever need to in the future or am capable of doing. Total cost of complete setup? $875. Sounds like a lot, but I spent more than $5,000+ over the years on pedals, boards, cables,power supplies. Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) is a real problem for guitar players - so beware.

Welcome to the life long tone chase!

Preprint: Ivermectin Associated with Lower Mortality in COVID19
Ah, that's an understandable interpretation, but my response was not meant to be unnecessarily confrontational. If anything, the closing sentence was an admission that, while we seem wired to sleep mono or biphasically and maintain good health, a poorly executed second sleep block had the potential to compromise it, and that there were provisions that in my judgment were worth knowing.

Not a simple general intro to pointers
A useful gentle intro to the C type feature of pointers to arrays.

The C language has more than one way of accessing arrays. Other languages don't.

In the classic 80s teaching language Pascal if you started with pointers it was because you where working with linked lists.

Most people I have taught programming to conflated the pointer access in C and the linked list concepts to their disadvantage.

I taught linked lists first and left the point abstraction intact. Later I crossed the the layer of abstraction to explain memory access details.
I have had more success (less learning difficulties) this way.
Why should everybody vote? I live in a solidly blue state where the electoral college votes are a forgone conclusion. I'd just be adding another thimble-full of water to an ocean. I suppose voting would give me the sticker, but I'm not really a sticker collector. I could move to a swing-state, but I like living where I live, and not everybody can move to a swing-state anyway.

Granted there is local politics, which I occasionally vote in, but more often than not I am not sufficiently informed in local politics to make an informed decision. If I don't feel I can make an informed decision, why should I vote? My input, if anything, would only add more noise to the process. That doesn't seem productive. I think, when aware of my own ignorance, abstaining from the voting process is the responsible choice.

I made this dashboard using data from RobinTrack to create a hypothetical portfolio based on Robinhood user holding data, and compare its performance to a standard S&P 500 market index.

I found that Robinhood users underperformed the market by an average of 4% over the last year, however this is partially due to lower volatility in their investments.

Let me know if you have any suggestions on how to improve this data!

By "experimental data" do you mean something like "this had a pattern of neural activity that looks like what we've observed in biology," or do you mean "we tried driving a self-driving car with this method and it worked really well." The latter is more what I'm talking about, whether it's robotics, image classification, game playing, etc.

My guess is it depends if the money they're stealing from any one project is going to be enough to justify taking them to court. My guess is that very few projects have that avenue even available to them... given they use BountySource for funding.
