> I can non-aggressively disenfranchise a group of people.

How would you accomplish this non-aggressively, especially if the disenfranchised group resists?
You're forming a false dichotomy, and you're mistaking competition of code with competiton of institutions.

Having different organisations with different goals is what prevents these scenarios.

Otherwise the webkit blink thing wouldn't have been successfull.

Mozilla could also have forked blink and started replacing it with rust, and you would've gotten the same improvments.

Mozilla could have taken SQLite as a foundation, started a living spec, and immediately begun translating the codebase to rust.
The effort would have been the same as for their half assed IndexedDB stuff, but the result
would have been much better.

It doesn't matter where a code base comes from, it matters where it goes to. And when it comes to
diversity of implementation the repelling forces of different ideas, viewpoints and aesthetics that normally result in dreaded project forks, work for the advantage of all in browsers.

"Highly articulate speaker?" Yeah, sure, he might come across like that when he can pick and choose his interlocutors for the weakness of their rhetoric and their arguments, and then just yell over them and drop the call anyway. In a fair fight he'd get his ass handed to him in short order, which is why you never see him in one.
Ads run the internet and fueling rage and hate helps social networks keep engagement high (and sell more ads).
> Since you know this to be the case, why not have an onboard if flow they Sign In with Apple where you have them A) choose a visibility email used for sharing/communication etc. and B) allow for this email to be their backup email? So if they forget their login or whatever you could just transfer the account to this email instead?

I'm fairly certain that detecting someone hiding their e-mail from you and then making them pick a different e-mail goes against the spirit, if not the rules, of Sign In with Apple.

That said, it would be extremely beneficial to pop up a screen saying "Hey, is this the e-mail you want to use for communications?" and let the user decide.

That said, removing third-party sign-in is also a fine solution, almost definitely a better one, and simplifies things immensely for everyone involved (assuming their sign-in form in the app supports saving passwords to the keychain).

Gigabytes of pictures in an archive called "the fappening" say a different story.
The mileage is just for the headline. A better stat mentioned in the article is that this one has a 50% smaller footprint than Lithium
For someone who has mostly sat on the sidelines of these debates, the coordination is really disturbing. Who is pulling the strings here?
no master->main renaming bullshit
Jesse Ventura wasn't affiliated with either party, along with a lot of people on that list.

The founding fathers were afraid of democracy itself and put in many explicit constraints on it, never mind undesired self-organization like the two parties. So it's easy to find perspectives from which the US isn't the archytype democracy. But what's the point? That it somehow a bit farther down the road to authoritarianism as a result? I'm not sure about that.
ECDSA: Handle with Care
Which is a pretty anti-competitive move on Apple's part.

They're essentially using their control of the iOS ecosystem to benefit unrelated products.

I seem to remember that those kinds of actions didn't work out well for Microsoft :)
Show HN: Product Manager Interview Question
I would love to be a product manager at a great technology company so I built a quick app to help me step through various recommended interview questions in a way that mimics a real interview. It is also a good script for the friends I convince to give me a mock interview. I hope it will be useful for anyone else who is going through the same process.

I'd be happy to hear what you think of it.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your post, try something like this:

$ log stream --level debug --process MyProcess > mylog.txt

For lighter-weight logging, replace "debug" with "info" or "default". If your program has debug symbols, you can also toss in the --source flag to add the filename and line number for each logging statement, if available.

The new logging is a significant improvement once you get used to it, IMO.
I guess it depends on how you both define left wing. From the economic perspective, maybe not (except medical care for all, maybe); from the human-rights perspective (e.g. gender rights, race-related policies), the more popular subs are surely leaning to the left.

Can you not see the new loophole? Simply convict anybody we don't want owning a firearm of a made up misdemeanour or hate crime. 2A BTFO.
Great contribution, care to present your case next time?
Or perhaps the far-right just has the habit to coopt members of others groups. Not only free market supporters, e.g. Sara Winter and Carla Zambelli were from the feminist group FEMEN, and nowadays are Bolsonaro supporters.
at what point does groupthink suddenly flash over into the wisdom of a crowd? is there some kind of dunbar's number at work here?
Why not? Because their customers don't like it either.

It all comes down to what is popular and unpopular--which is fine in a marketplace. That's exactly how marketplaces are supposed to work.
I'm chinese and I'm glad the indian government is taking action before the US/Europe, which still haven't rstricted the spread of Chinese spyware.

1. Tiktok and wechat are bigger threats than huawei as they taken user generated data and biometric data to build a large surveillance network of not only chinese, but also folks living outside of the great fire wall.
2. The chinese government essentially bans the top 20 websites outside of china. Not seeking reciprocal treatment is the extension of clinton era illusion that somehow china will open up as they get richer.

How is that different from FB/Google's login services? The only apps that are required to support Sign in with Apple are those that also support FB/G/etc sign in, so those companies have already chosen a path...
It's good that you read Hey's blog post and are repeating it here, but it's not very accurate in this case.

Specifically, if you implement Sign In with Apple, then they are still your customers as much as ever, they just might choose to hide their information from you because they don't trust you, which means that the power in the relationship is transferred to the user instead of the app developer.
I don't know how widespread this belief is but I personally know people who believe this and it seems to be only spreading in the current heavily polarized environment. It is truly astonishing to witness

Who said anything about price? This is an R&D milestone at best, not a consumer product as the article very clearly states both in the subtitle and in the body of the article.

Great way to derail the conversation
> Spring/Spring-boot is another painful one for Oracle because it largely sidelined J2EE related products and standardization.

I'm thankful for J2EE and things like EJB 2. It's complexity gave rise to Spring and it's amazing ecosystem of frameworks and tooling that we have today.

It isn't, but pretending that 70s Kodachrome black nationalism is the same as 1080p60 white supremacism is a useful lie as long as you're talking to somebody who doesn't know any of the history involved.

If you're an open-source project, the community aspect allows a better engagement of ... community, that is devs, users. For devs that means reviews and interactions, for users - issue reporting, maybe some support.

Integration of community features improves visibility and situational awarness. Compare this to emails or IRC, or forums.

Of course, effectiveness of this is as good as the ability to manage the vast information that get generated in open projects like this. What's the point of having everyting in one place if it's hard for users to find the information they need, or if no one is able to properly care for the tons of issues raised from the community... Anyways, GitLab is a tool that helps one organize and tie together these streams of project information.

I am actually shocked at how little thought went into this policy. For example in UK, women are majority. This policy now allows someone to say "I hate women". Everyone except Americas and Europe can now say "we hate people of color". This is such a short sighted policy that I can't believe it's not a joke.
Not sure if I understood it correctly, but the branch in Hungary seems to do it for 120000 HFT = 350 EUR.

If you have a friend who is a customer, he could (this is cheating) buy one for you (pretending it is a replacement for him), and explain to you how to use it. You save a lot of money, but the disadvantage is that it is not fitted for you. I am not sure what difference it makes.

So, if that is an option, I would recommend buying one via friend, testing it (with oxymeter), and if you are satisfied, follow the official channels (through Hungary). At the moment you are sure the solution works for you, I think it is worth the money, considering how costly and/or inconvenient are the alternative solutions. (Then you can do an extra test whether having the wire fitted for you is an improvement.)

(It would probably also make sense to take photos of the wire immediately after you buy, so that you can try making duplicates later when the original piece breaks or loses shape.)
Part of it is figuring out how to classify "production" as R&D. Well we need to test a prototype and in order to that we need it made as the same was as production due to structure property process relationships.

Or manufacturing defects is going to be a huge source of bad thing so we need to do some research into the manufacturing process.
That defeats the entire point of shadowbanning someone. Shadowbanning is used primarily _because_ it is opaque to the person who is banned. If you told them, they might then make a new account, rather than thinking that people aren't engaging with them and moving on. If you give them a notification that they have been banned and why in the interest of transparency, its no longer a shadowban.
It actually is not that complex. I'm using Crunchy Postgres Operator at my current employer. You get an Ansible playbook to install an Operator inside Kubernetes, and after that you get a commandline administration tool that let's you create a cluster with a simple

pgo create cluster <cluster_name>

command.

Most administrative tasks like creating or restoring backups (which can be automatically pushed to S3) are just one or two pgo commands.

The linked pdf looks complex, because it:

a. compares 3 different operators

b. goes into implementation details that most users are shielded from.

And I'm actually not sure which one of the three operators is the author recommending :)
IMO we need to stop giving more permissions to browsers. Everytime I install a new browser (I am intentionally not taking sides about which browser), the first thing I do is disable notification, microphone access, webcam, and location access.

All applications that want to interact with system level hardware needs to go through the system vendor. Get proper driver cert, developer account with their physical company address.

I have a special distaste for plugins, extensions, PWAs, and even <canvas> tag. Browsers ditched system UI and favor of CSS driven UI elements which created the soup of unimaginable mess, inconsistency and lack of quality of UI in the browser. And this is just UI, the level of scrutiny given to a browser extention is insanely passive. Extensions get bought and sold like a hot commodity and no one bats an eye.

I can't use a system level blocker (such a Little Snitch) to stop an extension from communicating to the internet without blocking the browser itself rendering it useless. I need to resort to a horrifying mess of blocklists and a Raspberry pi hoping to catch one of these domains in its hole.

I personally want a browser to display HTML, may be some interaction with the DOM to help out (check all boxes using jQuery for example) and that's all. I don't want anything more.
All of this seems to have an unstated prerequisite: The US two party system where voting for a third party actively damages your own interest. It's not perfectly solved in other countries, but having more "evils" to choose from is a good start.

Obviously politicians have have little incentive to change the process they already had to master to gain power though in the first place.
JP Morgan Chase. They aren't sexy. They don't have a great API. They don't have a good UI. They're slow as shit to process your paperwork. Our rep calls us every time even though I have asked him to email instead. They suck in almost every single way you can imagine. But, they also tend to function like a real bank, and outside the last few months, have treated us pretty well.
Hi Eugelo am glad you liked it. Feller is not a stats book neither is it a machine learning book but you might like it. It is full of cute and relatable exercises.

Books like ESL are front end books, they cover the shiny and the methods. Feller is more of the backend.
You can run Github on your own infrastructure too, so is the only benefit of GitLab that it isn't owned by Microsoft (the largest contributor to The Linux Foundation since 2005)?

> > If there is an API to get information on you, your contacts, or your device... well, they're using it. For what it's worth I've reversed the Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter apps. They don't collect anywhere near the same amount of data that TikTok does, and they sure as hell aren't outright trying to hide exactly whats being sent like TikTok is.

I find this unconvincing and reddit comments are not trustworthy at all.

Wouldn't data collection be limited by the mobile OS anyway? I actually have TikTok on my phone and it requested no special permissions, compared to most other apps which don't even let you view content without validating a phone number.
I'm sure it was done in coordination with the advertisers that pulled their ads. Probably a group coordination between the companies and groups like the Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP, Sleeping Giants, Color of Change, Free Press and Common Sense that spearheaded the original advertising blackout.
All the more reason to drop any 'majority group' based logic and just ban targeted harassment and discrimination based on immutable characteristics in general.
This is interesting mathematically... but false empirically.

The forces behind modern political polarization are extremely well-known and well-documented in political science, and they are:

1) The awareness by political parties that extreme views motivate extreme voters to vote, more than moderate views motivate moderate voters to vote, therefore parties and candidates are being pushed further away from the center than decades ago

2) Political primaries are now democratic, so less centrist candidates are being selected than from when candidates were selected by party leadership

3) The awareness by the media that politically polarized coverage is more popular than centrist/balanced coverage, thus the rise of right-wing and left-wing news

It really is that simple. Potential solutions include making voting mandatory (like Australia and many other countries) so extreme views aren't used to drive turnout, various strategies like eliminating primaries and using ranked voting for elections instead (allowing multiple candidates from all parties), and well there isn't really much we can do about the media, but if parties and candidates aren't pushing the polarization as much, the media probably won't as much either.
What experiments are you referring to? All the data I've seen has not shown any sort of "progression" towards more extremes like you're describing, but often shows the opposite.

Let's look at some real data from [1], which provides a breakdown of how impressions flow between channels. By using the panel on the left side, you can look at specific political leanings. If you pick the left/center/rightdrop down, you'll see that right-wing impressions flow into to more left-wing impressions than right-wing.

In fact, if you pick pretty much any position on the left panel, it looks like impressions from more extreme content flows into more impressions for less extreme content.

No more going viral: why not apply social distancing to social media?
I guess I look at it the opposite way - which is why wouldn't you run everything in k8s once you have the basic investment in it. Let's you spin up new environments, vertical scaling becomes trivial, disaster recovery/business continuity is automatic along with everything else in your k8s environment.
Celebrities are so full of themselves that the thought people would give a shit if they were doing something other than amusing us. So arrogant.
Relying on the frameworks formats seems like a great approach. However, there are a few more open questions related to model governance. Versions of frameworks, input data specification, output data/scores specification. I'd expect all of these pieces to be part of ML model description (this is even more important for model serving, then storing/versioning).

It would be great to come up with a common format for all these pieces. So, many levels of ML stack can use it.
Outside this list Safari's support is limited or nor for many other APIs. MediaRecorder and many WebRTC APIs have no clear roadmap for support.

Many APIs including getUserMedia and all of WebRTC are not supported in WkWebView (only way Firefox/Chrome works on iOS due to Apple policy blocking them from building their own browser) Means some apps will only work in iOS-Safari and not in iOS-Chrome/Firefox.

None of this has to do with privacy, being able to record media locally without sending to STUN/TURN server increases privacy not reduce it.
This isn't a cheat-sheet. I expected a PDF with one or two pages of very condensed key information, not a long web article.
It is using that we are used to look at faces as a way to display multi variate categorical variables. Not all of such dimensions are bad/good dichotomies. Deeming a visualization technique as evil because it can be used to poor taste may seem clever, but ultimately will leave us with no visualization techniques left.
Both parties broadly promote global US military and economic supremacy (unipolarity), draconic IP laws, corporate tax benefits, social division on immutable identity issues, anticommunism, etc. There is wiggle room (i.e. Overton window), as you point out, but the main thrust is clear and opposition is not tolerated in an institutional sense.

At best, the establishment Dems have been passive observers to the catastrophic erosion of social systems over the past 50 years.
I should be the prime target for a community sarcastically titled “consume product” as I hate spending money wastefully and enjoy getting good mileage out of anything I buy. Instead I learned how to block subreddits on my Reddit app of choice because the content had absolutely nothing to do with criticizing wastefulness. I could never quite put my finger on what the subreddit was designed for (I never subscribed, I only interacted with it when it hit /r/all) but I knew it wasn’t a criticism of wasteful consumerism.

Social media has a trolling/brigading/hive mind problem in general across all platforms and I would add solving this problem to Paul Graham’s list of “frighteningly ambitious” ideas.

1) I found the reference from 1976 you're referring to, which is so misleading as to be false (note the cumulative arithmetic in Table 5. Trees don't grow to the sky.)

https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/197600...

In addition, that was pre-bungled Space Shuttle and ISS programs. Even the GAO is reticent to talk about how much money was wasted in those programs in case future space programs would be immediately cancelled due to gross mismanagement.

2) If you're a scifi fanboi, just admit that you support whatever wasteful spending NASA does. But don't hide behind obfuscated numbers that you haven't read and don't understand.
For a sense of the culture surrounding the move-out-at-18 thing. Look at the worse of America's response to the pandemic. Imagine someone like that is your parents. Imagine trying to have a healthy respectful adult relationship with them. While not all American's have a bad relationship with their parents, looking at the worse helps visualize the central theme of "freeeeeeedom!" that moving out at 18 represents. Then also, some parents choose to start charging their children rent to live there, often when they turn 18. If you've got to pay rent, living with friends your own age sounds enticing!

As far as local culture, there are regions (and stereotypes for them) in the USA; the West Coast, the South, New England, among many others. There's a large amount of homogeneity (eg the same supermarket chains; the same 3 choices for ISP) but also smaller regional chains that haven't yet been "bought out".
