What is a photon? (2017)
The two things I learned most from On Liberty is:

1. The greatest enemy of liberty is a repressive majority.

2. Truth is the result of two, or more, opposing points of view.

Essentially most people seek agreement, not truth, and will actively suppress truth when agreement is challenged.

Or any other state change.

Because it's not stateless.

Hence not FP.
In my current company on year seven, I've definitely learned more on this job than the previous seven years where I worked at over a dozen companies. It's not even business specific. It's about how to build software that doesn't need to be rewritten every few years, that can be used, maintained, updated, and added to for at least a decade or two and that runs reliably for all that time. And how to develop shit software that doesn't do any of the above by corollary. Most of the things I've learned are simply not issues that arrive after a year or two. So I agree completely. People that don't have at least one long stint as a senior engineer often did not know how to develop software that will live and be maintainable for years because they never developed such software before in their lives.
Tom Cotton is a cosponsor.
Okay, but this doesn't explain why they didn't move to amd instead. Changing architecture like this is not cheap.

Besides, Apple just pissed off the entire software industry. Assume you are Adobe or Abelton and now have to spend serious money to very quickly port your software to arm64 without getting any new sales.
Azure Linux already exists actually, https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/azure-sphere/
It’s no different, in practice, from the good old Linux/BSD model: “source is free, but you can pay us to get a bootable ISO ready to go”.

I have to do a “not interested” purge on my Instagram about once every 4 weeks. That’s how long it takes the Instagram Explore algorithm to devolve into degenerate memes and echo chambers regardless of my interests.

Why did fingerprinting never catch on in that way? That tech has existed for ages. Way cheaper to implement as well. Seems like it would also be less prone to false positives compared to facial recognition, but that’s just speculation on my part.
Both added in iOS 14.

I guess Apple's not "full of shit" anymore.

Just to be clear, parent is describing fictional software, not the system in the article. You seem to be conflating the two.
If languages adopted structural typing, rather than nominal as the default, then it would be much easier to align the types (e.g. projection/renaming of columns). Most FP languages have a limited form of structural typing with tuples.

If you want a new perspective to the entire nocode space, remove the line "building apps" from any conversation or line of thought.

A spreadsheet to track a project need not be an app, the ability to temporarily give access to internal data to a non developer team (which become CSVs in email) is not an App.

It is this need of building a full solution which actually takes us away from the need of the users to the need to justify a resource for the thing.

Google payed Apple $12 billion in 2019 to remain the default search engine in Safari.

It's a large amount, even for Apple, but they would survive losing that. Besides that, they are even taunting Google by putting DuckDuckGo in their marketing copy:

https://www.apple.com/macos/big-sur-preview/

They also started a partnership with them in 2019:

https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-maps-gooses-duckduckgo-in-se...

I think they are slowly preparing to loosen that tie.

I hear this line about their business model all the time, however it is bullshit. Given the opportunity all companies will take the money.

I agree. Apple's incentives are just temporarily aligned with customer's privacy. Their margins on hardware, services, etc. are so large that they can afford to make privacy a differentiator. If they are not in that comfortable position anymore, they would monetize the vast user data trove.

But while this is the status quo, I am happy to use an iPhone for privacy.
I recently took a look at the top 20 reviewers, and based on some personal knowledge of what the items that buy 5-star reviews are in the current market, at least 3 of the top 20 people are doing it. These are people with thousands of reviews. It's rotten all the way to the top.
Not from the US, but many on the left will see these capabilities as a counterweight to corporate data collection, others against the "dangers" of free thought. Very naive thought, but I think this will pass. Republicans mostly don't seem to know much of anything but certainly won't drop this opportunity.

That said, I don't think it would end encryption though, since it is out of the hands of governments. Of course a lot of traffic will be compromised still and it would grant access to large data hoarders.

edit: Of course that also means that Apple and MS OS aren't safe anymore.
I don't think they have the balls to pull something like that.

If a manager suggest this in a meeting, the legal folks will eat him alive. If it comes from higher upps, then someone will leak this and that will be the end of Google.
Unless they're getting extensive facial surgery, their phones will acknowledge them.
Controversial opinion here: you can't. If you do, you'll just lose. The movement is based on being offended, on feelings and identity politics, not reason. I event doubt to write this because I'll probably be called names instead of being reasoned with.
Except I would ascertain that is has been a pyrrhic victory, with 200+ distributions, and being used mostly as a free beer POSIX clone.

Apple and Microsoft efforts have proven that the large majority doesn't care what they have on their laptop, as long as it looks POSIX enough.

With Linux and GCC being the major surviving GPL projects, enjoy while it lasts.
I could not find them on Eastern European Movies but the movies directed by Andrei Tarkovsky left an impression at me. While some were made when he lived in exile and are therefore technically not Eastern European they still fit the genre. Besides the obvious Solaris and Stalker I can recommend Nostalghia and especially The Sacrifice.

On a more lighter note I really enjoyed the children movies and TV series that were made in Czechoslovakia in the 80s a lot as kid and so does my kid today. My favorite is The Visitors aka Adam '84. Classics are also Pan Tau, all the fairy tale movies from Hofman/Polák, Lucie, postrach ulice and Létající Čestmír. Generally everything out of studio Barrandov is worth to have a look at.
>Is saying that someone with a criminal record like that "didn't live a virtuous life" really a fireable offense?

Talk about wild hyperboles!

“In the wake of George Floyd’s death, most people in the country have framed this as an act of racism,” Moloney’s email continued. “I don’t think we know that. Many people have claimed that racism is a major problem in police forces. I don’t think we know that.”

The Chaplain has said enough things that association with him became a liability for an institution like MIT, that is all.

I agree. Because of Amazon's scale selling counterfeit items is good for business. Only a minority of customers will notice the fake and return it, which they've streamlined so that it's no big deal.

Counterfeit items likely get Amazon more customers than it loses. The cheapness of counterfeit is attractive to new customers, and the ease of returns retains customers. Besides, everybody can't be a conesieur in everything they buy, so it's feasible to still be successful at high rates of counterfeit goods on the site. Some econ student could probably share some good studies on this kind of economy for us.

Maybe Amazon can try the pirate Bay argument that they just host the content they're not responsible for it respecting copyright?
Politicians on both sides increasingly care more about party loyalty than values.

Super! This may well beat the old school method, which involved searching for video and subtitles separately (if not simply watching undubbed).

I found:
https://sovietmoviesonline.com/ru/melodrama/345-dom-durakov.... (set in the chechen wars)
but can't remember the name of a former-yugoslav dark comedy, in which a bunch of slavs go underground during WWII, only to emerge forty years later to find the countryside is riven by war and everyone is still fighting "fascists". (on the other hand, maybe it's just as well, given how many former-yugoslavia refugees we have in my area, that I've forgotten how to say "flipping fascist melonfarmers" in one of their local languages) Can any kind HN'ers remind me? Thanks!

Incidentally, comparing soviet-era movies to western fare clearly shows how different the censorship was on each side of the iron curtain. One can probably quickly get an idea just from browsing the placards, without even watching any.
Googled origin of "Ask not what your Country can do for you, but what you can do for your Country". It is from John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address 1961.

We are talking about deeply divided country back then in the middle of civil rights movement. Which happened when large parts of population were not free to speak their minds without very real threat to their safety. It is not change from people free to speak their minds to here. It is change from one group risks lynching, beating and economic consequences to another group risks economic consequences.

It was not only thing that was going on, obviously and it is not that everything is changing for the better. But the way we idealize the communitarian ideals of the past and their impact is mostly nostalgia - remembering good while ignoring bad. We are talking about good days of free speech of the past and then talk about suppression of sexual or racial minorities as if it would be unrelated.
Or for that matter free speech of whites who pushed for equality - the consequences for them were could be quite high too.

And I think the push back or just not taking these liberty arguments all that much seriously has something to do with those arguments not being really serious about past either.
Pretty sure they are an enterprisey tech-driven lawyer outfit.
But it is unacceptable.
I don't accept "you can't" as an answer, it is too important.

Reading through https://blacklivesmatter.com/ pages, I am truly shocked. I don't think any of my colleagues who support this organisation agree even with a quater of BLM stances. How did this happen?

The name they chose is so strategically well chosen, but it can't be bullet proof, what can we do?
I often use Motorola devices as I find they are one of the OEMs which applies the fewest customizations to the OS.

They got worse, also with updates since they were acquired Lenovo. Last time that I surveyed the Android landscape (~2 years ago), Nokia was the place to go for a pristine Android experience with quick updates.
Is there a way to see exactly which senators vote for a bill? I’m writing my senators now about how bad this bill would be, and I want to see if they follow through.
You can use std::visit() for the time being, and pattern matching is being discussed.
What I really want is the ability to turn on GPS without allowing Google to see any data, not even "to improve our services" which is legal speak for "it's ours now, we can do whatever we want".

I am pretty sure Google is not following GDPR in this regard. You cannot force people give you data just because they provide an unrelated service (search) on the same platform.

Edit: to clarify, I want to remove Google maps, install Here or Bing maps it whatever and that should be enough to not send a single positioning sample to Google.
The problem with any language like this is that you have to work with others, and if others produce write only code that's your problem, too.
> What precisely did I say that makes you think I'm trying to excuse, rather than explain?

By only pointing a finger to the other side, you strongly hinted that the behavior of citizens was not only the cause of the behavior of police, you implied that it was also the solution to the problem of the behavior of police. This causal link may or may not be partially true, but nobody really cares about the cause, unless it helps with providing a solution to the problem. By only pointing to the cause, you imply that the solution to the problem lies there too, which, in this case, is both very questionable, and classic victim-blaming.

Is it really a case of wanting to silence those views? To me it looks more like PR. "We don't associate with people with bad opinions, so we're good".

I would even go so far as to say that "companies" don't really care. The reason being is that for firing someone, you must have hired them first. But they consider there's something to gain, image-wise, by taking this kind of stand. This, they hope, can be transfered to dollars, so it looks like a good strategy.

It's been a decade so my memory is fuzzy, but it was likely on the order of $1-3million (USD) and 3-6 months. Not sure what HVAC would cost over that time.

The real problem is that these types of adaptations are only in spec over some range. Any deviation from that range can be problematic and non-linear.

Debian itself I wouldn't worry about much, but Mac OS would be close to Windows.

And I'd be more worried about malware than the OS. Especially phone malware.
> why do so many people assume it can’t happen here?

Is that actually the assumption? I'm pretty sure everyone already assumes that the government already has all of your messages, browsing history, transactions, etc, and they can come for you if they want.

Between the massive surveillance state that already exists and the judicial miracle of "parallel construction", it's already very much a problem. The only thing left to do is scale up.
> Also of interest are historical treatments of how support of libertarianism in the mid-18th century could coincide with the most brutal zenith of race-based slavery.

The most obvious explanation being that the advocates of human freedom were predominantly the opponents of slavery. There were, after all, two sides to the civil war.

You'd need much more serious fans. And this method lacks any kind of real control. It would reduce the gradient though.
The point was "it's an OS feature, not an Appstore feature, so Apple's Walled Garden approach has nothing to do with that feature, Apple's OS has".

It's working. But not because of Apple's Appstore policies.

Calling someone’s argument “obvious gaslighting” is just an appeal to incredulity.
I can't find how to setup cron at your site. Can you please point that out to me?
> one of the problems that computer science has studied is how to manage the size and complexity of programs and development teams

Did we though? Can you point out some books, or PHDs or whatever slightly more scientific and substantial than blog-post anecdotes?

I honestly believe as an industry we completely don't know how to scale development and I would love to read something that helps understanding this challenge.
Why not just go with the flow? Who knows, maybe you might enjoy a racialist society where everything is decided on the whim of the trending minority group. I'm not white, so it's kind of funny seeing white people kiss or clean the feet of black people because they're guilty of another person's injustice done onto someone else other than the ones having their feet worshipped.
>>the requirements ... are some variation of vague, ill-specified, and flat out wrong. And it's not their fault at all, it's just that unless you've gone through the process of writing code it's impossible to understand just how pedantic and explicit you need to be when building software versus, say, giving your human colleagues instructions.

I (mainly) work in inventory management and this is so very true. For our specific requirements, there wasn't anything in the SaaS space that would work short of SAP or Oracle, no other vendor had all the requirements in one package.

However, our quality control department had tasked me with writing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for most of our receiving & warehousing processes. I swear, those .docx files took longer to write than the custom inventory solution I ended up coding. However, most of that SOP time was sitting in front of a whiteboard trying to figure out how to explicitly define all the processes in detail. This experience was incredibly valuable though, I'm convinced that having to define the business process beforehand made the software vastly easier to write. I spent more time getting django configured & setup than coding the business logic, and the business logic was complicated enough that I couldn't find an off-the-shelf solution.

I've since done this for some other projects at the same company (I wear a lot of hats), and spending 1/2 a day bothering the 'customer' with my incredibly pedantic questions while we drew up a flowchart or bulleted list saved so much time down the road with catching edge case bugs. Note that I'm not talking about waterfall style dev, this only focuses on the actual business process and not at all on software. There aren't any questions about how the software should function, but instead 'if a customer has this problem, what do we do?' The trouble is, this strategy wouldn't work if you can't force the user to spend quite a bit of time on what is an unpleasant process for everyone.
I don't understand these naive do gooders who want everyone to delete their social media. "I did it and I feel better!" Really, how much more self-centered can you get?

I'm a retiree. My kids and family are scattered. Social media is an important part of maintaining family cohesion and my role in the family. I've reconnected with old friends that I otherwise would have lost forever. Deleting social media would impoverish my life and drastically increase my loneliness and isolation.

Do gooders: give it a rest.
I respect the effort you put in to really understand this system, most folks wouldn‘t do this based on our short conversation.

Unfortunately the system is rather convoluted and the math has more unknowns to it.

- the maximum salary on which you pay the retirement insistence is dynamic and rises every year
- every year you earn “points” based on the relationship between the current average salary and your own salary. (The average is 1 point)

Now these two above can be ignored to get an estimate how the return compares to a capital based system. The following three can’t:

- the worth of a point changes, both while you’re working but also during your retirement. You’ll receive more money in year 14 of your retirement than in year 1. Today one point is worth 33,23€. 2010 it was just 24,13€. The value changes based on the average net salary of those who pay I to the system.
- the insurance will pay out early if you become disabled and unable to work. I just looked up my numbers from last year and while I only earned retirement benefits of less than 300€ so far (based on the current point value) my disability benefits would be over 900€
- if I die my widow and/or unsafe children can get some money for a certain amount of time. E.g. children under 18 or under 25 while in college

I want to stress again that this system is far from perfect and smart folks will save up in a capital based system as well (and there are tax incentives for this, especially for low earners) but it does guarantee a good baseline retirement for folks who worked all their lives that can’t be lost. No divorce, personal bankruptcy or anything else will be able to touch this money.
How does understanding the root causes help with providing a solution in this case?
for me it's flask. couple lines of code to get up and running
That's not true. His girlfriend was fired previously for posting racist messages on Facebook and then refusing to go on a sensitivity training course offered by her employer.

That article is a summary of a daily mail article, so it's bad journalism squared.
In mainstream news (ap, CBC, bbc, others), increasingly people and groups are being labelled as racist without any discretion. Eg, people out protecting Churchill statues in the UK are labelled as racists in several stories[1]. Surely, there is at least one racist in the group, but increasingly every single person who doesn’t tow the line is being called out - entire police departments, mayors, city councils, schools, news organizations - everyone is either supporting the cause or else is a racist, with no evidence or scrutiny being applied. How can entire police departments be racist? Entire companies?

[1] to be fair, Churchill was a racist and a colonialist. He opposed Ghandi. He also helped defeat fascism and naziism and is an important historical figure. Defending a Churchill statue does not automatically make everybody in the vicinity a nazi.
I would not call it bravery. She started her career as an anti-conservative blogger and then realized there was money to be made in being conservatives' token minority friend.
Last two items I ordered online I skipped Amazon and ordered from the manufacturer to avoid getting stuck with a counterfeit. I'm considering dropping my Prime membership if this keeps up.
Can you give us some concrete examples of this movement being based on “being offended, on feelings and identity politics?” What about this movement, specifically, seems wrong to you?

Throwing negative labels like “identity politics“ around kind of denies that the whole problem is that we as a nation are treating one set of people unfairly because of their identity. So yes, it’s “identity politics.”

I hope I come across as reasoning. I’m not going to throw names your way. As respectfully as I can be toward you and your ideas, I am not seeing a lot of substance to your argument. The argument seems “controversial opinion here, I don’t like this, and I won’t explain why.”
