Trump did more than you suggest. He used well understood language (“when the looting starts the shooting starts” is a famous quote from a white supremacist) to encourage his supporters to murder/lynch blacks.

His campaign eventually started using Nazi imagery suggesting various opposition groups and protestors should be sent to concentration camps.

Facebook pulled the ad. Around the same time, he used Twitter to (successfully, apparently) incite lynchings.

Pulling a few Trump campaign ads was too little too late, and now people are boycotting Facebook.

Here is a link to a story about the ad. Don’t take my word for it: https://boingboing.net/2020/06/18/trump-ad-uses-nazi-symbol-...
Well excuse me

I am sure the author polished his work over several years. I devoted mere minutes to chatting it up on Hacker News. There's a reason you pay the author for the book and you don't pay me.

Let's see you argue something better instead of just taking potshots at people who bother to try, jerk.
Downvotes are a valuable signal. Adding that kind of friction means most people won't bother.

Maybe it could work if there were pre-determined answers one could select (so it's faster) but I don't see how the simple UI could display that.

Food for thought: should upvotes require a reason too?

What's an SLT?
I was just noting that fundamentally this is an issue between two corporations acting in their own interests, and that the government isn't involved.

The OP paraphrased as "we want Facebook to censor", but that actual demand is "we want something that makes us comfortable". Which is a bit different.

These corporations are deciding out of their own free will, to withhold their money.

This seems to me to be ideal behavior from a free market, libertarian, perspective. Correct?

I'm not interested in playing a cat-and-mouse game with Amazon's netsec team. If I try to bypass their blocks, they will probably blacklist my account. Then I couldn't access the music and movies that I already purchased.

Amazon has many techniques to combat fraud, each has a cost and benefit. They decided to block VPNs because they thought it would help them make more money overall.

Publicly-traded companies care only about money. Increasing the cost of VPN blocking is a good way to get them to stop doing it. That's why I cancelled my subscriptions and did it by phone, since phone-support is more costly to companies.

I'm using PrivateInternetAccess.com . I picked them because they have California servers and they fund EFF and WireGuard.
I'm very proud to live in a country that still has a strong, foundational principle of Freedom of Speech. Most of the euro countries at this point have criminalized objectionable expression, "hate speech", online. And they compel social media companies to delete it or face incredible fines. I don't consider France, Germany, or several other euro countries to be free societies.

As someone who helps fortune 100 companies with digital marketing, this is cynical view of Verizon and other companies. I am not sure why you are shifting the conversation from advertisers trying to reform FB to advertisers taking advantage of the media pause for positive PR. I don’t believe any of the companies with paused FB campaigns are paused elsewhere. That means Twitter, AdWords, Amazon, affiliate, and CTV spend is live. Digital marketing teams have to make hard decisions and decide how best to communicate with their customers or potential customers. Pausing FB is a step in the right direction. Other organizations have done the same on YouTube. I am as cynical as they come but I don’t see how reduced ad spend is something to hide and blame one single network.
Right. I just can't think of a more mainstream tool in this space than puppet - that's why I thought your statement seemed odd.

Regardless of how good this deal actually is, I have a knee-jerk reaction to anything regarding Comcast.

I would not trust them with anything whatsoever.

Mozilla even if they made a good decision here seems to be taking a step backwards just by virtue of associating with Comcast in any slight form whatsoever.
That's the Intel version, and since OP mentioned the DTK, I'm pretty sure they meant to imply the ARM version.

I just typed realty.com into OSX Safari 13.1.1 and got the proper site. Then when I picked up my iPhone (ios 13.5) and started to do the same test it autocompleted 'real' into 'realty.com'.

On the OSX side, the 'search' pane of settings has Safar Suggestions and Quick Website Search on, has preload top hit and show favorites off, and has DDG as the search. On IOS I have DDG as the search, and have Search Engine Suggestions, Safari Suggestions, and Quick Website Search on, and Preload Top Hit off. And have Frequently Visited Sites off.

It is worth mentioning that OSX Safari offered 'realtor.com' as a 'Top Hit' suggestion below the address bar, which I could have chosen with a quick downarrow, return, but at no point did it try to fill in autocomplete for me.

I almost wonder if this is happening to the owner of realty.com because they have spent a lot of time looking at realtor.com while building a site that competes with it, and Safari now thinks this is a site they really love to go to. — EDIT. Oh no I missed the part where there are videos of this being done on demo iPhones at the Apple store. Crazy! And not good.

This is a Pareto optimization with a limit on the size of the formulas. Sure, with a formula of arbitrary size you can fit anything with 100% accuracy, but the task is much harder if what you are looking for are short models.
Unfortunately, like all such descriptions, this one misses the mark also.

I've never heard a good explanation for what a photon "is", or any particle for that matter. That's because physicists don't know either.

No, seriously. Ask a randomly selected set of physicists about any core concept in Quantum Mechanics and you'll discover that their answers diverge wildly. Ref: https://arxiv.org/abs/1301.1069

Basic things like: "Are the photons quantised or is it just the photon interaction with atomic orbitals that's quantised?" I've personally asked this question and had working physicists confidently state that either the former or latter is true, and the other is false.

(PS: Compare this to biologists, chemists, or engineers. They all 100% agree on all core concepts. So do astronomers, and physicists studying classical mechanics and relativity. It's only quantum mechanics that's so fragmented.)

Ask any working QM researcher to clearly show how "a single photon" interacts with an electron in an orbital and they will without a doubt draw you a cartoon diagram. Never in the history of theoretical physics has anyone, ever, anywhere made a numerical visualisation of this. This is because both the QM mental model and the mathematical theory applies only to ensembles in potential wells.

This is a very narrow scope of applicability that was explicitly called out in the QM papers back in the early 1900s, but is now glossed over. People assume that what applies to a special case is the hard rule that applies to all things. It doesn't. There are no photons in free space. There are no little hard particles of light. You can't have a point with a wavelength. You can't have a single pure frequency with a finite duration. This is all gibberish, it's just a simplification to make the maths tractable when done with pencil and paper for special cases! The output of this simplified model is a 0-dimensional scalar. It can't do output much else, such a simulation of a full 3D interaction of any type.

Trying to work backwards from such an oversimplified model in order to explain the deep nature of reality is futile. This is like pointing at the bandwidth measurement in Windows Task Manager and saying "we can understand how the Internet works by watching this number go up and down".

I used to challenge people with this on Reddit and the results were sometimes silly ridiculous. In an echo chamber like environment people sometimes downvote because they are compelled by the gravity of Reddit’s visible vote count and sometimes because they are willfully using a downvote as a blunt weapon to suppress a challenging opinion. Yet when you compel people to put that into words the results are clearly a form of cognitive complexity with people twisting themselves into knots to describe their own behavior in a meaningful way. That absurdity aside I would notice that the challenge of asking people to qualify their downvote would slow or halt the pace of the echo chamber foolishness.

HN is not Reddit though. The maximum downvote count is 5 reducing a comment to a score of -4 and aside from the color fading of negativity scored comments vote counts are not published. The majority of users and discussions are also generally superior to those of Reddit as well.

Even with that said problematic discussions do happen on HN even if far more rarely. The reason for the problematic behavior, as many people clearly identify, is people looking for agreement more than discussion or insight. In this case people on HN engaging conversations only for agreement are generally eager to advertise their censoring foolishness and insecurity.

Aside from contrived political discussions downvotes are generally reserved for comments that are far off topic or impose violating behavior.

Either way the biggest change this would result is visibly associating a user to their down vote. Otherwise, I don’t see this having a dramatic impact on HN. This would have a huge impact at Reddit though.

> I don’t believe any of the companies with paused FB campaigns are paused elsewhere

Can you clarify these points because the way I read them they sound contradictory.
Also, where are you finding this info about companies' advertising spends?

Not trying to be provocative, there's just a lot of misinformation out there.
> But I defiantly believe they are a bad ally. I don't know what exactly they have done to get such a high status as an ally in the US.

They opposed India, which was opposed by China, and the US spent the post-Vietnam period cozying up to China, because it opposed the USSR.

So, to answer your question, they haven't done anything other than be the enemy of an enemy of an enemy of an enemy.
Yeah, I was thinking more broadly about systems utilities rather than specifically state management.

None of this matters unless the end users stop using FB. If not, advertisers will keep spending money on ads.

> It worked majority of the time. It typically stopped to work only when power to be ceased to have power.

Which is to say it has never worked. Because all power structures eventually collapse and yet the ideologies they tried to suppress remain and rise again. And sometimes, it's actually the resurgence of those suppressed ideologies that destroys the established power structures. As is the case in the USA right now.

> The suppression of nazi ideology post WWII did not lead to blow back either.

You can't be serious.

> I don't really know anyone except for very networking-focused people who can explain how anycast works to achieve the same thing.

I'm not familiar with the crap the IETF et al have smeared on it, but in principle, it's very simple: each network vertex maintains a mapping from (blocks of) addresses to edges (and the neighbors on the other ends of each edge) moving closer to that address, such that the directed edges for any given address form a rooted directed graph (ie a tree) where the root is the host with that address. Anycast just relaxes the requirement that the latent directed graph for a anycast address form a single tree with a single root, and instead allows multiple trees and roots forming a exact cover of the network. Updates still try to find the neighbor with the shortest round-trip time, but now there can be multiple network vertices with RTT=0 (ie multiple servers with the same anycast address).
How is it any different from Stack Overflow or Yahoo Answers, except generalized and civilized?

That's not possible for products that rely on social networks. Facebook has a monopoly in communication in Brazil, and if they had to compete with Pix they'd win regardless of the product. Pix, however, means anyone can integrate the functionality in their application, making every service compatible with each other and increasing competitiviness.

I think the homeschool movement has become too extreme. You can do homeschool if you want. But you also need to learn from others. The school system does help. I went to a 4-year university. I got a degree in Computer Science. I think it's very valuable. It helped me build a good career. I would say half of the professors were solid.

At school, after lectures, we have to do homework. It's a practice to get a deeper understanding of the knowledge. Then we have to take test. It's a validation of our understanding. People certainly cheat their ways through college. But if you are into learning, you can learn a lot.

Laura Deming mentioned that she had a hard time with entropy. I think this is because of not having a formal education. Entropy is an overloaded term. It means different things in different fields. In physics, it means one thing. In information theory, it means another thing. If Laura had gone to a university to study the concepts in different classes, she would have grasped the concepts. Laura is likely a generalist thinker, polymath. That's why she has a hard time digging into deep concepts. To really understand them, you need to practice (homework) and validate (test).

I work in cryptocurrency space. Vitalik is another generalist, polymath thinker. He makes some wild claims like quantum computer can break Proof of Work. If you study Computer Science, you'd see how dubious this claim is.

You don't know what you don't know.

Schools are good for teaching you what you don't know. Both Vitalik and Laura come out of the Thiel Fellowship. When you are young and got chosen by a billionaire, it may have gotten you hype up about your intellect. You buy into your billionaire's view. You think professors are idiots. Nowadays, social media give people a microphone. So they get even more indulgence. They see themselves already successful.

I think the young generation, like Laura and Vitalik, is talented. But they live in the fame bubble too early. Albert Einstein had this problem. He was an early achiever. He made his important discoveries when he was young. Those achievements became burden. He had a hard time with quantum mechanics. He spent endless time with the theory of everything. He was miserable in his later life.

I teach my kids at home after their public school time. When they grow up, I hope there're still good universities for them to go. Go to school, take some test, you'd see how much you really understand.

My main gripe with modal windows is the name. The first couple times some developer told me that's what she was using, I waited for her to explain what modal meant. But she did not, as if it was standard self-explanatory terminology. Way to name something a word that sounds like it has a standard (even deeper) meaning, but does not.

With time, I have just accepted that this is what modal means (I'm going to create a window of this type to display the data/filters), disconnected from any meaning of the term "mode".

But I still don't like it.
Hi,

I wrote an SSH step for you. Here's the source code:

https://github.com/relay-integrations/relay-ssh/blob/master/...

And since it isn't documented yet, here's how you would use it in a workflow:

steps:
- name: ssh
image: relaysh/ssh-step-exec
spec:
connection: !Connection {type: ssh, name: my-ssh-connection}
username: relay
port: 2222 # defaults to 22
knownHosts: |
server1.example.com ssh-rsa AAAAEXAMPLE
server2.example.com ssh-rsa AAAANOTHEREXAMPLE
# or
#strictHostKeyChecking: false
on:
- server1.example.com
- server2.example.com
input:
- whoami
- uptime
- cat /etc/passwd

Please feel free to shoot me an email (check my profile) and I'd be happy to help write a workflow for your use case with you!
The question is, does that 'community' effect offer a measurable, competitive advantage to businesses with offices vs those that don't?

If no competitive edge is present, it is wasted spending that could be redirected into more fruitful efforts: growing R&D, etc.
Interesting! I have a very new iPhone 11 and it takes me straight to the google results. I wonder if the behaviour depends on your locale?
Or even better: if you can change the problem so that you don't need to parse at all, then do that instead.

Recently I made a comment on the overhead of textual formats from the validation perspective: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23582056

I think that a textual format is overall a horrible idea if the use-case is not presenting the vast majority of the content to humans.

In an ideal world, communication between machines would be all in binary protocols, and developers would know how to read/write them with tools like hex editors as naturally as a second language.

Instead, countless amounts of time and space are wasted by machines converting their native integers into strings, wrapping it in JSON, base64'ing that, wrapping it into XML, then sending it over the network (whose lower layers are thankfully binary) to another machine where the reverse process happens, but with additional checks during parsing. (I am not exaggerating. I have seen systems like this.) 99.99999...% of this data will never be seen by a human. What a disgusting waste of computing power.
