Perhaps there is an association between strongly supporting principles of free markets and problematic ethics.
i dont know any of the people involved, but the time when Dave Morin was in the platform was the best for 3rd party developers. it was a really neat, very open platform well ahead of its time, it was reliable and really made developers feel included. FB shut the door for us abruptly in later years because they liked fake news better than virtual sheep.

Facebook had a developer forum in the early days which basically chronicled what was happening on their platform. pity they took it down...
The New York Times Ends Apple News Partnership and Pulls All Articles
I don't think you need to worry about missing some essential screen area of a Quibi show.
Not terribly surprising honestly. That's pretty much the nature of aggregators. People are far more loyal to the aggregator than the content that underpins it. And once the aggregator captures enough of your audience they can drive your margins to zero since they have more data than you about how well you're doing.

Aggregators are great for small shops since they do all the customer acquisition work and audience building for you but a raw deal for large shops since they siphon your organic customers and charge a premium to get them back.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out since news is more fungible than other media properties and if NYT is the one of only a few defectors then they'll lose big and get a much worse deal when they try to come back.
Compilers/transpilers seem like a prime example. For example, imagine Typescript vX using utility-library-a, which itself is written in Typescript and has Typescript vY as a dev dependency.
It is realistic and at some point, one of the browsers will be a shell that runs Wasm and browser updates will just be Wasm.
An article about one of their shows ('Murder House') told me all I needed to know about Quibi. Our culture does not need to trivialize murder or revictimize victims of crime more than we already do, thank you.

No amount of quality content could overcome my revulsion to use a service which features this:

"There's a new television show in the works that combines all your favorite things: home renovation projects and true crime stories [...] all about renovation houses where murders took place."[1]

The statement is from the perspective of the studios, not customers (studios want to sell in every store they can, customers only buy the game once).
There is safety in numbers, they can argue that reddit did it as well (either in court or somewhere else)
Since these threads often turn out the same way once they get popular enough (assuming they don't get flagged first), a while ago I wrote a comment[0] which can help sum up some arguments from "both sides" of the debate over Internet censorship, and I hope it's useful to those who would otherwise repeat a discussion that's been had many times before in these comment sections.

VScode is.
Sure but for a long time web has been touted (rightly or wrongly) as this safe sandboxed convenient distribution platform. The expectation is very much still that a website shouldn’t be able to harm your computer and that expectation isn’t going to change any time soon.

In top of that, less technically inclined people don’t even expect native applications to be able to harm their computer and we haven’t been able to change that expectation.
I'm still convinced that it was a joke in the beginning, and then the subreddit saw an influx of people who didn't get the joke.
wow, didn't know that, looks like awesome use of JavaFX!
The only problem I see is the lack of a comprehensive standard library for Node.js.
But there is not "one true way" to coordinate a democratic election. Especially when considering the differences between presidential republics and parliamentary republics.

Or even concepts like "one person one vote" force systems to converge towards a few stable establishment parties.

It would still be democratic if voter could grade candidates and the winners were chosen by some appropriate statistical measure, or if voters could select arbitrary subsets of okeyish candidates and the winners were those with most votes, or any combination of many other systems.

The real objective of most democratic electoral systems is governability and meaningful representation. Pretending that popular vote is the only meaningful way to elect representatives is naive.
Unfortunately, a portion of the 2000s internet rationalist movement radicalized towards these views.
With Rust you get safety at compile time while avoiding memory safety issues at runtime. The compile times are objectively longer compared to most other languages. But whether this trade-off is worth it for you depends a lot on your company's CI pipeline and the skill of the developers.
We've changed the URL from https://pib.gov.in/PressReleseDetailm.aspx?PRID=1635206 to an article that adds a bit of background. If there's a better article, we can change it again.

The site guidelines call for original sources, of course (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), but press releases (especially corporate ones) are a bit of a grey area because they tend to leave out important context, if not outright mislead.
Jumping onto one of the most popular source control platforms is a really good move for KDE, but I'm a bit disappointed to read this. Phabricator is a really excellent piece of software, and seeing large projects like KDE running on it gave me hope that it would have a long life ahead still.
Clash of Kings is owned by a Chinese company called Elex-Tech aka "Beijing ELEX Technology Co". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_of_Kings

Not to be confused with the more popular "Clash of Clans" which is owned by a Finnish company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_of_Clans

Wrong how you ask? Wrong in the way that hospitalizations in SANTA CLARA only are a woefully inappropriate way to "support" your original contention that CASES in CALIFORNIA were flat.
"coincidence"
Though the term are almost meaningless, this can be described as waterfall product development. Waterfall isn't always bad (like when you're building a space shuttle or a smart watch) but for consumer product it's almost always wrong. Even if you're able to pick the correct idea to build far in advance, if you develop a giant scope without releasing anything it likely took longer and was more risky than releasing and iterating. And let me tell you, in the vast majority of cases your original idea is far from correct.
..which seems like it would make it more expensive to achieve the same level of credibility via such 'fake' accounts. Seems like an improvement to me.
Not completely related I guess, but ...

I recently bought an LG phone for mobile dev (LG V30). I need to enable developer mode to properly use this device for development. I am able to set the device in developer mode, but there is no way to select transfer protocol over USD with connected computer.

I worry this device might be hacked and this device is modified to prevent people from removing any hacks. I am also not able to do a hardware reset using the instructions I can find on internet.

On the other hand, this could just be some weird Android bug. But I think it's all quite suspicious.

By the way, part of the OS (e.g. the first menu shown after doing a soft reset) are not in English, only in Korean (I think). Also a bit weird imo.

Either way, these weird experiences with this device made me a lot more worried about security.
Do you need to move your email? Can’t you just have that go to an iPhone?
I agree on that, but I think this case was a bit different. A lot of the early posts were making fun of Trump pretty thinly veiled.
I don't know, I still remember how, in a poll before the invasion of Iraq, a majority of Americans though that Saddam Hussein was connected to the 11S attacks.
OP, I'm your age.

I'm still paying my lease in Austin, but I went back to the East Coast to be closer to family in early March. My one bedroom apartment in a busy part of town turned into a huge drawback once this all started, especially since I have a large dog. He's been enjoying the yard.
Last week I found the science book in a Little Free library and I came home so excited. I have fond childhood memories of cooking hot dog slices with the fresnel lens. A book so dense with engagement. I am keeping it as a reminder of good design. Unless my nephew wants it :)

EDIT: added a second quote
This "adjacent" concept has no meaning. Paraphrasing a point I made on Twitter recently:

- Richard Spencer: evil. Created 'alt right' movement.

- Ben Shapiro: called 'alt right' because he's right wing

- Joe Rogan: called 'alt right' because he talked to Ben

- Bernie Sanders supporters: called 'alt right' because Joe endorsed Bernie.

Ergo: by this logic Karl Marx could be considered 'alt right'

Molyneaux might be awful, he might be fine. But the argument one way or the other must be made on his own merits, not those around him.

----

Edit: Replying to dralley due to rate limit:"

I have included an example where there are four links. But 'adjacent' is a plainly silly idea if there is only one link.

If 'adjacent' being silly isn't already obvious, you may be very left wing (since 'adjacent' seems to be a popular argument on the left).

So consider: former KKK member Robert Byrd is in a photo being friendly with Hillary Clinton [1].

Is Hillary Clinton alt-right adjacent? Plainly Hillary Clinton is not alt-right adjacent. That argument would be absurd to make. Guilt by association is evil.

To determine whether Stefan Molyneux's ideas are good or bad, we should consider Stefan Molyneux's ideas. Not anyone else's.

You've included a video of Stefan Molyneux speaking. That's good - we can find out what he has to say for himself. What someone else has to say is irrelevant.

It's a purge. It won't stop with these three. The censorship will continue to get worse and be disproportionately applied to those on the right until all is left with the world.

Conservatism has a place in society. I'm not endorsing any of these guys viewpoints nor am I associating them with conservatism in general, because it's a broad group of over 100 million people in the U.S. with a diverse range of opinions that lean to the right. It's extremely important that society be balanced and not tilted to the extremes of either ideology. This process of selective banning and purging will not end well for Silicon Valley. The problem is they are not approaching the left's extremists with the same fervor. In fact they're turning a blind eye to the vicious hate against cops and conservatives on their own platforms.

And a lot of this hate is disproportionate to reality. That is, the perception of the problem exceeds the actual statistical problem.

I'm of the strong opinion that a society needs it's left and right brain to function properly and constructively in order to tackle the diverse set of problems we face. If there is no push-pull give and take between these two groups, then society will become unstable and increasingly more polarized.

I'm a free market capitalist, but with Silicon Valley's recent muscular intervention into free speech, and the overwhelming propaganda power they possess, I fully support the break up of big tech monopolies in social media, search, and app stores.
Amazing comment, and I totally agree! I am actually one of those people who never used to like making tutorials. What changed my mind ultimately was gaining an understanding of just how impactful they could be.

Good documented can indeed be a work of art, and is the first port of call for anyone who'd like to engage with your technology. Why would you not want to take that seriously?
Just for clarity's sake: I spent a year monitoring HN (somewhat primitively, but with automation) for white nationalist content, and I stopped because it's become increasingly clear that the site itself finds white nationalism repugnant.

Though it's not explicitly stated in the guidelines (the guidelines would be long indeed if they had to state every pathology that emerges on an Internet message board), it's abundantly clear from the "informal moderation log" (the feed of comments from 'dang) that overt appeals to racial, national, or religious superiority are against the site rules. People are routinely banned for this stuff.

It's also just pretty clear that the community on the site has much less patience for racism and misogyny than the rap it gets on Twitter (which is an objectively worse site, for whatever that's worth). The real reason monitoring for white nationalism got boring is that practically every comment I'd catch would get modded down and flagged. I used to report things to Dan when I saw them, but I was batting less than .200 on reporting things that weren't flagged by the time Dan saw them.

What's problematic about evaluating the site --- and you don't have this problem, because you're a regular, but lots of other people do --- is it can be extraordinarily bad if you snapshot it at the wrong time. Anyone can join! Without a credit card or a phone number! They can post whatever nonsense they want! You have to watch the site in action over the course of hours to see what the community actually thinks about something. That's plenty of time to make an effective Orange Site Dunk on Twitter.

I don't believe the status quo is really acceptable, and there must be room to improve it. But it's better than a lot of people think it is.
> The only case where a platform must provide services outside of the strictest sense of an intended audience is in through US Code Titles that may be applicable by law such ADA accessibilities (these codes are of course regional and may not apply outside the region in which that service is provided).

So we're going to start see ADA accommodations for white supremacists claiming they're mentally handicapped and therefore shouldn't be censored?

I moved out of NYC after the 2001 Al Qaeda attacks and back to my parents. There wasn't the same level of lockdown, and the 14 days I was stuck in SF when my 9/12 flight was canceled seems quaint now.

I used the change to learn python, improve my html & css skills, cook, and garden, all while consulting for my former employer. My parents were happy to come home to a meal every night and our relationship grew into friendship. My younger brother moved home a year later. Within a year, we had each found our "dream job" 90 minutes from home in opposite directions.

I left home fairly early and none of my school friends were still in town. The internet wasn't nearly as social as it is today. Going to see friends and doing freelance work in Brooklyn were the social highlights of the time.

In my neighborhood now, lots of younger people, many of color, are moving back in with their parents. In some cases, the parents have lost their jobs. The return to the nest is helping my community survive as these people are doing remote work or getting essential jobs and helping make ends meet. I am expecting foreclosures in the coming months, but these families are in a better position to weather it because of the returning income.

edit: In my mid-40s, I would move back in with my parents in a heartbeat. SARS-CoV-2, though, would likely hurt them more than me, so I'm staying clear.
Native apps are hard to develop and publish through app stores compared to PWAs, and many users don't have access to Play store.

Web apps are also more strongly sandboxed which is important considering how much of Android install base is running on devices without security updates. (Android devices notoriously stop getting them after only couple of years after device launch, or even sooner)
You are missing the point. Organizing, coordinating, recruiting, all these activities have costs associated with them. Costs like time spent on them, time spent finding tools to use for the job, etc. Make a racist subreddit go away and the N people who were a part of it won’t stop being racist. But it will be harder for them to find another platform to recruit and to some degree harder to find ways to coordinate. Now time that could have been spent indoctrinating new recruits can is being spent on less productive tasks, slowing the whole community down. Will it stop racism or even the racist group from doing what they do? Of course not. Will it slow them down, yes absolutely.

If a bunch of assholes showed up to your front lawn and started doing asshole things, do you kick them out knowing that they might go to your neighbor’s lawn? Or do you keep them on yours to protect your neighbor? I guarantee you that you’ll kick them out and then likely help your neighbor kick them out too, not shelter them and help them do the asshole things by providing your lawn as a platform. How is this different?
I think the anti-brigading rules were put in place because of them.

"With relatively few sites reporting the radiation increase, identifying its origins is challenging. The RIVM added media reports that it believes Russia is the source are likely based on mistranslations of its Dutch statement, and that "no specific country of origin can be pointed out at this moment."

yet you took the trouble to collect in your post almost every single bad thing you heard about Russia, half of them outright lies, the rest being half-truths, and dump them all here.
He went bad about 10 years ago. Before that he was halfway decent, however he did have some problematic tendencies, which I'm afraid were amplified and pushed out anything good.
good lord, you all are tough customers. It also takes up 50% less space and charges faster (though doesn't say how by much).

Ask HN: Is charging less VAT illegal?
I know it's illegal to charge more VAT than the specified by a given country and that if the VAT is changed during the year then companies should update it as well (by law).

But, let's say that the current VAT for a given type of product in a given country is 20%. Is it illegal that I, as a company, charge 5% only (or even 0%)? Sure, I understand that I, as a company, will pay the difference to the tax system anyway.

Why would I do it? Well, mainly because staying up-to-date to how VAT changes across different countries is a PITA. I know that there are companies that provide this kind of services (VAT related), but let's imagine that I want to keep my company as independent as possible of external factors and that losing VAT money, in my opinion, is worth it if that means I don't have to worry about VAT anymore.

No people, we want someone who KNOWS, not just saw something on the Discovery Channel this one time ... it's such a refreshing change from the magical internet experts that come and go.
Why? There is a massive political movement for racial equality happening all over the country. They are responding to pressure from consumers, which they very much should, because all of these companies have ignored these issues for decades. They aren't coordinating with each other in some conspiracy to silence white supremacists. The -people- want white supremacists to be deplatformed (a good thing!).
And your proposed solution is?
Molyneux, precisely, does not advocate specifically for a white ethnostate where Spencer does. However, Molyneux doesn't oppose one on principle, which for most is too close for comfort so he gets branded as one.

I understand for many that is evidence of guilt but logically speaking that's not the same thing.
> Seems odd for multiple independent companies to act in concert like this

Yes and no, this is less collusion and more to avoid platform hopping basically if one platform bans them they’ll flock to another even if the medium isn’t identical or the platform is not optimal for their use case any platform would do in times like these.

I’m pretty sure at this point when the behavior pattern is known the platforms inform each other of high profile bans.

The others follow suit to avoid being branded as the one that didn’t or worse as the one that accepted the now pariahs “with open arms”.

It seems like you and the word meritocracy have some issues. I never brought it up and frankly it has nothing to do with my argument. You inserted it into the conversation, then immediately played victim.

Neat idea.

I'm wondering what ML model formats you use and what is specification for inputs\results? Do you try to use some common format or it is fine for you to use a proprietary one?

I'm building https://DVC.org - Git for data. We think about how to save and version ML models properly (through GitFlow). One of the biggest challenges - there are not common formats for ML models, inputs and scorings formats.

I'd appreciate if you could share your opinion about models format generalization.
