I would boycott Facebook for other reasons than them not boycotting Trump ads.

Facebook is simply a TERRIBLE company. They make us lose billions of hours and created a mental health epidemic, especially in teenagers that cannot stop comparing themselves with other's fake life on Facebook. That is a good enough reason to not want to advertise on that platform.
I will leave it to anyone uninvolved unfortunate enough to still be reading this to judge whether your rush to insist that it's perfectly normal for presidents to enthuse about how North Korea does political discourse and that the increase in rhetorical, legislative and physical attacks on the 'enemy' in the media by the right in recent years is 'frequently perfectly justified' is the argument of someone sincerely worried about chilling effects on all speech.
You missed my point ...

The (current?) title of the HN news item is:

The Acorn Archimedes was the first desktop to use the ARM architecture

Which is technically incorrect.

It doesn’t even vaguely match the articles title of:

“Why Wait For Apple? Try Out The Original ARM Desktop Experience Today With A Raspberry Pi”
To me Q&A is not the interesting part; discussion, rhetoric, and bigger context behind questions are. That's why I always found niche subreddits or niche StackExchange websites a lot more interesting than Quora. I don't remember finding interesting content on Quora on something that's not already on reddit or stackExchange. The only time Quora shines is when some celebrity makes an interesting, historical comment. Like when Alan Kay himself defines OOP, it's clearly some interesting shit. But reddit AMAs and StackExchange celebrity accounts do scratch that itch as well. So, Quora is pretty meh imho. I still read it (without an account) but I don't find it irreplaceable unlike the other two.
> We want Facebook to censor speech on Facebook!

Well, Verizon doesn't want their ads running next to certain types of speech, correct. Not sure if that's censoring.

> But oh not all speech just some speech that we don’t like. Only we are allowed to define the type of speech we don’t like. And we reserve the right to change at any time.

> So, please just censor speech that we don’t like. On this day. At this hour. At this minute. And next minute we’ll tell you what to censor next.

That does sound like a lot of work to keep up with what is considered acceptable in polite society. I know I have no interest in starting a social media company. But Facebook is making their money from advertisers against user-generated content, so they made their bed, as has every other social media company funded by ads.
I used to get harassed during my bike commute by MAGA douchebags.
The blog post was interesting, but I wouldn't say it explained "what is a photon", it explained more, why do photons have energies and propagation properties that they do. The first 2/3 of it I was wondering, why go through all this intro about springs...

Although, there is one thing that I have always searched for an explanation of -- why the speed of light is invariant with reference frame.

The idea that space is filled with springs might help me with that. If light/photons are the passage of a wave from spring to spring, then the speed of that propagation is always at the "spring speed" however you measure it, or however fast you are going. You can only ever receive the microscopic spring transmission speed of the photon at the place you receive it. (Although it brings up the complicated followup of, how are you traveling through the "springs", etc, I guess).

But I'm sure I'm wrong about that too -- if anything QM has taught me is that my attempts at physical intuitions are usually wrong about QM.
Hard not to say "and nothing of value was lost." MathWorks is a curse especially once you've left university and all the tools you got used to are no longer free.

What is the amplitude of a single photon's wave?

Yes, it's well taught that wavelength is related to frequency. Higher frequency is higher energy energy and lower frequency is lower energy, but it's the frequency of what? Unlike ocean waves, photons do not have a spacial amplitude. A photon does however have a spacial wavelength. This distinction between photonic wavelength and amplitude I've never heard explicitly addressed.

My understanding is that a photon's amplitude is the likelihood of interaction at a specific point in space. High amplitude is likely interaction, low amplitude is low likelihood of interaction. This means at a photon's peaks/crests it has high interaction and at its troughs the photon has low interaction likelihood. These likelihoods are repeated every wavelength, a length measurable in physical space.

This is some of the reason why an antenna for a given frequency range needs to be a specific size. Too small and there's a good chance of missing a signal. A proper sized antenna, related to wavelength, guarantees high interaction somewhere along the length of the antenna.

When speaking of many photons, amplitude (like AM radio) is simply flux, how many photons at a particular frequency exist during a given unit of time. That's not related to the amplitude of a single photon and not what I'm talking about here.

For just shapes the above is a nice visual start.

However a striking feature of the linked article is how frequently there's a major city right near a cell edge.

A more useful list might be constructed by some process involving assigning a "city" an imprint size based on population, and a surrounding 'metro area' based on absorbing any weaker cities that overlap until the process either repeats or is matched by a neighboring city.

A starting point for results that are already similar to that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_area

Would be cool as an analog visualization for a stereo (with tube amps of course).
I really hope we see some specialized remote worker residential communities in the future. Actually, I’m sure there’ll be money in building them.

Imagine a small town with no cars or roads. The community has lots of events to socialize you with your neighbors. Lots of traditions and festivals. Some communities may look like Brooklyn—row houses, except just grass and trees lining the blocks. Maybe another community would have a quirkier layout, with maze-like walking paths between apartment buildings.
Glad to be one of them. We'll see if I make it back to the good ole Bay Area.

Hate speech is widely viewed as a legitimate exception to free expression, along with other classic examples of things like yelling fire in a crowded movie theater. Not by every country to be sure, but by many democracies.

You're portraying this as some kind of whim that changes with people's moods, but that's a complete, total, 100% straw man. There are decades of legislation and jurisprudence, particularly in Europe, that can be used to define hate speech in a stable way.
Normal people have nightmares for years after killing someone, even in the most perfectly justified cases of self defense. You don't easily recover. If you can kill someone and be more or less OK after that, you probably have antisocial personality disorder or you've had a lot of training to desensitize you to killing. Neither of those are good qualities in public service.

Perhaps it is giving Trump too much credit - the actual blame likely lies with the team running his campaign. All the same, it seems strangely coincidental that he keeps on stumbling into racist material and symbolism.

I mean yeah, it was just a coincidence he restarted his rallies on Juneteenth in Tulsa, OK, that he then moved under pressure/outcry. Also a coincidence he used a quote from a racist police chief, and also a coincidence he used a nazi triangle. I mean, sure, it is possible this is all just happenstance.

If in the future he starts talking about campaign bliztkriegs and having his voters celebrating at crystal night parties and his campaign printing "I voted" stickers of dancing people that look like Jim Crow, and then proceed to claim ignorance, just another 3 crazy coincidences, I'm gonna call bullshit all the same.

But isn’t the sometimes toxic “cancelling” on social media (which is what I think you’re trying to lead into) a fundamentally different phenomenon than what Orwell describes in his novel? Orwell warned against the authoritative uses of inciting hate, done in a centralized controlled medium (television). What you’re trying to criticize is instead a more decentralized phenomenon, where an individual can instead use hate-inciting video to create an authority around it.

You can criticize both kinds of hate-spreading, but you have to acknowledge that the two are very different as a phenomenon, with widely different mediums and different motives for the person using it.
Inciting violence is illegal speech. Facebook is giving the president a platform for his illegal speech.

The courts (and the senate) are not going to enforce the law, so as a society we are duty bound to take whatever legal actions we can to correct the situation.

Freedom of speech does not equal to freedom of consequence. What I've listened to people lately say is that when they engage in personal attacks they should be allowed to because "Freedom of Speech". Yet, the type of speech that is protected is speech that is against the government.

Being mean, hurtful, and disrespectful against an individual is not protected speech, it's called being a jerk.

I guess it really boils down to.

Are you building an app? if so build an app. All UI is static hosted on CDN with content based urls that can be cached forever and all dynamic data coming in purely via REST apis.

If you are building a website, then serve html pages with sprinkled widgets here and there for interactivity.

Don't conflate the two. Users don't mind a slightly slow first load but super fast subsequent loads for an app. They'll love offline/PWA support, something that behaves like a native app. Search engines shouldn't care about indexing apps.

Web pages should behave like web pages. Search engines expect html as the format. Users expect the first load to be blazing fast. Proper href links, yada yada.

The worst is when its a half assed slow loading web page that wants to be an app, but is not an app.
> The survey revealed that 16 percent of owners reported residents broke their leases or unexpectedly gave a 30-Day Notice to Vacate.

So, 50 landlords (~16% of 315) reported that they had at least one tenant unexpectedly leave early? Over what time period? How many tenants in total? This may or may not be an interesting story - we can't tell.

Yup, similar -- I've never visited either in my life prior, but on macOS it goes to realty.com, but I am shocked that on iOS I type in "realty.com" and it doesn't autocorrect, but lists "realtor.com" as the top suggestion below, but when I hit enter it goes to realtor.com instead of realty.com!

That is seriously bad functionality. I've already been annoyed at iOS's keyboard overly autocorrecting, but to change a URL I typed in explicitly really pisses me off.
I agree in some respects. I see more and more of this in the company I work for (and its peers) to the point where it's getting a bit overwhelming. I often wonder if we actually even care about building a good product anymore, or if the mission has changed to social justice initiatives. Not to say I'm against them, but it's slightly concerning that pockets of social media outrage is having such a pronounced impact.
One ground fatality and 7 ground injuries, so not good, but not horrifying.
I think the difference of opinions is that it sounds like you think the boycotts are a moral stand while we think the boycotts are driven by more practical considerations (in that the ads have become less valuable, either due to reduced consumer spending or increased brand risk).
Why is it worthwhile to "fix" society's "unpleasant" aspects? And who, exactly, determines which aspects are "unpleasant"?

Much better from my perspective to have multiple huge "big corporates" protest each other to the point of landing economic body blows. That's the tried and true "let the market solve the problem" solution.

So everyone can vote with their dollars.

> You can earn more money per unit of time by creating greater value for others.

The majority of wealth that gets funneled into politics does not come from people who have high wages, it comes from capital invests or directly from corporate donors. This directly means that those for whom the system already works well have an outsized influence in making sure that the system will work even better for them in the future.

> That doesn't sound like the kind of society most would want to live in.

I think you need to recalibrate your understanding of what people want. Encouraging people to get involved in their communities and government sounds way better than making it necessary for politicians to solicit bribes (politely called fundraising) to keep their jobs.
Not the OP, and I don't think that's what I want, but FB's hide on the wall would at least be a warning to others.

Fully concur. Senior leadership needs to lead by example, whether it be remote work, taking paternity leave, or using a healthy amount of vacation. As some have pointed out, remote work as some companies has the potential to become the new "Unlimited Vacation"-- i.e. technically the policy but employees worried about advancement are unlikely to take advantage.

Props to Quora leadership for leading by example.

I don't fly retractable gear aircraft, but I did spend several months exclusively flying a Citabria. On my first flight back in a more typical Cessna 172, I went through the downwind, base, and final legs as usual.

After landing and getting the plane stopped, I turned to my instructor and commented that the landing sight picture seemed a lot steeper than what I had remembered.

He smiled and pointed to the flap switch, which I had completely forgotten about. The Citabria doesn't have flaps.
One feature I've wanted since forever is a full text search engine of only stuff I've previously seen before.

I want to keep this data, too. But I want to keep it on my own devices, in my home, running software that I control. This option doesn't exist yet.
> Considering that the target audience is other designers, why does the presentation matter

I fail to see the logic here. Good design helps people learn easier. It's not like designers have some unique ability to learn equally well no matter how poor the design is.
I have been a long time M43 user since they released the very first OMD-EM5. And the OMD line has been the best camera for the everyday user - highly capable, small with amazing small lens that really are great. The Olympus 45, Panasonic 20mm and the 80-150 are truly some the greatest lens for any system. Shure, you loose some depth of field - but for 95% of the people it is perfect.

However, when I was ready to upgrade my OMD-EM5 purchased in 2009 (11 years ago!) - I started the move away from my M43 system. And heres why:

Cost - The Nikon Z6 with an FTZ adapter can be had for $1550 brand new. Compare that to a new OMD-EM5 MkII for $1200 - the EM5 just can't compete.

Size - the Z6 + Nikon 24-70 F4 S is really not that much bigger than the EM5 MkIII. Add the Nikon 24-70 F4 S lens, and the size difference is negligible. But the AF capabilities and image quality are far superior.

Compatiblity - The Z Mount is absolutely amazing. With third party adapters you can use just about any lens (Nikon F, Nikon S, Sony FE, Canon EOS) with full autofocus capability. The Z Mount is the most universal mount anyone has ever come out with.

Video - I am not a video user, but the Z system has an excellent reputation for video. Olympus never really concentrated on video - they seeded that market to Panasonic.

All of this with an amazing echo system and with the first gen Z mount it is quite amazing already. And the Z mount going forward I feel is going to allow Nikon some amazing things
- largest diameter with the shortest flange distance allows for unique designs and edge to sharpness that is absolutely amazing.

I know this is turning into a Nikon Z love fest, but the point is - with the new entries from Nikon & Canon, combined with average consumer going to the cell phone instead of a traditional camera - Olympus simply had to invest way to much in R&D to justify the possible profits. The shrinking camera market just put a stake through the heart.

It is sad. Olympus was the most innovative camera company. They were the first to have sensor cleaning, the best in body stablization, amazing lens and real-time exposure. All with the most robust bodies in the business.

It is sad to see such a great company with a respected name go to an investment group. They will probably use the brand and make sub standard products going forward or milk the brand for a quick buck.

Here's to hoping that some other company comes in restores it to its former glory.
>explain to the police why there's a dead man in your living room

>and a few hundred thousand dollars later in court and legal fees

This is not legal advice. In the future, please consider not talking to the police for any reason. Please also consider buying legal insurance for self-defense incidents.

Aside from that, I don't see what your point is. The power to defend yourself with violence is a legal right that Americans have in practice in most states. In Texas people with licenses to concealed carry end up committing fewer unjustified killings per capita than the police. They seem to be wielding their rights just fine.

Also in practical terms how exactly would you censor "sci-hub" if you wanted to? They could generate a new address for each transaction and amounts could vary.
Meh, the 'yelling fire in a crowded theater' is, rightfully, not protected under free speech but "hate speech" (which has no legal definition in the US) has consistently been allowed by the Supreme Court. Doubt we'll reach a hate speech exemption anytime soon.
