There is something that I've never managed to put my finger on: most companies as huge as Google / Apple / FB etc... or even more traditional ones (banks, oil, etc ...) are sort of "well known" in the sense that they do PR, they have well known figureheads, etc ...

VISA has always struck me as a very nebulous entity, whose structure, governance, is not very well know by the general public.

I wonder how they managed to grow so large while managing to keep such a conspicuously low profile.

edit: and to answer my own question, the wikipedia page is quite informative : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_Inc.
>dated concept of free (hate) speech

Explain further how free speech is a dated concept we don't need anymore.
Definitely agree with this. It's something that I have actually been guilty of in the past myself.
> But native apps don't deal with input coming from the internet? If that's what you think, you're... wrong.

If you're going to write a native app, I am not subject to any of its radical security implications every time I try to browse the Web in general, and we are no longer in conflict.
I am talking about the modern day. Why the qualification "US citizen"? Are murders outside the border less of a crime? Are human lives outside the border less valuable? Also, is murder for using speech a much greater crime than murder for other reasons? There are very recent examples of unjust murder of US citizens by the government.
A recent HBR IdeaCast episode on political polarization. They viewed our political climate through the lens of industry competition and came to many similar conclusions.

good question. Without random tests, I'm not sure if we even have a clue as to what percent of the population has had this. As such, we can't say how many are negatively affected after. In cases where people were admitted to a facility, we can follow up, but that is already selection bias.
Ban waves aren’t that simple they take time to prepare the legal, PR, community relations and tech support etc required.

While it probably isn’t as spontaneous as the penguins I also don’t see it as some smokey or well these days vapey dark room where they sit around the table with a bunch of dossiers laid out in front of them taking a vote.
> In their defense, this is how Hulu started. I initially dismissed based on that, but it proved to be a solid rival for Netflix.

Kinda. It's USA/Japan only, so from the other side, it basically looks like "The American version of Crave", rather than Netflix, which a global behemoth.
Either sling or hulu, forget...
The nice thing about running a DB inside a cluster is running your entire application, end to end, through one unified declarative model. It's really really easy to spin up a brand new dev or staging environment.

generally though in production, you're not going to be taking down DBs on purpose. If it's not supposed to be ephemeral, it doesn't fit the model
The important thing to distinguish is that they protect free speech, not free platforms.

People are free to say racist things, produce racist games, setup racist podcasts.

What they aren't entitled to is google showing their racist crap, steam carrying their racist games, hacker news keeping their racist comments uncensored. You are free to burn a flag, you can't force someone to watch you burn it.

If someone feels hurt that youtube censors too much, they are more than free to make their own whitepowertube. The fact that there is a ton of far right media right now shows that they aren't completely without a voice.

Try what I believe will become a common practice in the next ten years. Buy your parent’s house, they keep the cash on the condition they build a secondary detached dwelling in the yard. Aka granny suite. It’s a great deal, you get a house with a separate apartment. When they pass away, it’s an income property at no expense to you. Plus they help raise your kids while you help them in old age.
So Al Qaeda etc would be legal in the US?
But they do assault people and commit acts of violence. As do hundreds of other domestic terrorist groups.
>Is this not the clear cut definition anymore?

People who want to discriminate on the basis of race and sex have contrived a definition of racism/sexism that exempts themselves.

>At what point did it diverge?

The 1980s apparently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory
Antifa USA 2020 is not the paramilitary wing of a german stalinist party, even if "Antifa in Germany 1931" was one. It is not the same organisation. It is a lifestyle branding sold to left wing youth, like Che Guevara t-shirts.

Now there is an organisation in the USA that has recently started to use the Antifa Branding. It's called Torch Network or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Racist_Action but that one, too is not related to Germany 1931 or to Stalinism.
If any representative of these big brands reads this, and you really want to make a statement, you can buy https://www.quitfacebook.org for one million euros.
i hate the hater-haters
How long will it take China to rebrand these apps under a different name ?
More like “Intel Inside”, I would think. It separates their hardware from that of other companies, not from future versions of their hardware.

I don’t see them moving to new names or to “Apple Silicon v2” when hardware advances.
The climax of this boycott will come when companies that have never even advertised on Facebook declare they will not be advertising on Facebook. No one will bother to fact check, and they get to ride on the free PR.

So yea, fuck the companies doing these PR stunts and their opportunistic advertising.
He would probably get banned for cheating
All the little brands selling stuff on my Facebook feed are probably stoked they are printing money now because of reduced ad rates. I remember the early days of Google Adwords where you could just print money putting up affiliate links to stuff because ads were so cheap.
I've been watching the "Hate Thy Neighbor" series recently, and some common threads I am noticing among the individuals involved in hate groups include:

- They rarely admit to being racist, usually strongly arguing that they are specifically not racist

- Most of them have very strong preferences about the correct terminology to use in referring to them, as if their niche hate label of choice helps them avoid the stigmatization of the more common hate labels most of society finds unacceptable.

Many of them really sound like career politicians the way they try to spin their position as not condoning hate or violence, ignore all evidence to the contrary, and quibble over which hate labels they prefer. So yes, very often what a group is not willing to oppose can be very telling about their true position, which is often never admitted to in any kind of straightforward manner.
In a way, this is yet another derivative of Dunning-Kruger IMO. It's all derived from either: (1) overestimating one's abilities (esp. when transferring from one domain to another), or (2) the corollary of underestimating the difficult/complexity of a given problem because you think you already have enough skills/expertise/resources to tackle it based on your prior successes.

- "I'm a rich/powerful/successful media person. I had success in my industry doing business a certain way, so why shouldn't I be able to translate that into running a tech startup too?"

- "I'm a good programmer and I don't see any reason why Zuckerberg would be smarter than me. What's so special about Facebook? We can beat them."

- "I'm in touch with what most people want, and this product idea totally makes sense to me. All I need to do is polish it up, and I'm sure I'll find users who are as excited about it as I am."

Or, the flip side of the same coin is really about ego. One of the hardest lessons of the lean/agile/tech-y start-up culture (in its idealized form), is to not let ego interfere with learning, but also to be able to let go of ego-centrism without giving up confidence or competence (i.e. you don't have all the answers and you should be fundamentally humble and curious, BUT you should not forget or overlook your existing skills or competencies either).
I don't disagree with you and it was proposed. However we didn't have A/B infrastructure in place then and on a project that may never make money it just wasn't a high enough priority to justify the spend.
> but I knew it wasn’t a criticism of wasteful consumerism.

I'm fairly certain it started off that way. Unfortunately it doesn't actually take much coordination to brigade and take over a subreddit.
Silence -is- complicity.
Yeah I was going to say that. I'm not sure if that is due to our weird interests. :)
Yes. They want to stay in your mind’s eye.
I didn't find the subject interesting but I'll complete the request for consistency here: it doesn't bother me that Apple requires Hey to use in-app purchases.
The first amendment is a limitation on Congress, not YouTube. The first amendment also confirms the freedom of association. On the balance, your radically expansive view of "free speech" trods deeply on the freedom of association and is unlikely to find any satisfaction in court.
Dead is dead, it doesn't matter if it's the klan's racial hatred, or if the eye of the party has randomly decided you are the kulak today.

There's nothing xenophobic about the claim that PRC blocks a huge portion of the internet. I operate several websites that are blocked by CCP in PRC, despite having no relation to any policy priority of the CCP or law/edict in PRC.
I agree that it would be nice to have a limited amount of the Web MIDI spec, but bear in mind the staggering few people who actually have MIDI devices, and the even more staggering few of those people who want to use whatever website has midi support for its features.

To answer your question about why not to just limit the API: because that would be another data point to use to fingerprint users, and because the amount of engineering time that would have to go into Web MIDI support (including testing, security auditing, etc.) would never be worthwhile compared to putting those same developers on something that might be beneficial to vastly more users.

(Also note that Firefox made the same decision to implement nothing at all.)
> Both parties broadly promote global US military and economic supremacy (unipolarity),

Maybe that's the goal but the execution is lacking. Seen from outside the USA it seems that the influence and the prestige of the United States are lower now than at any time in my life. The apex was any year in the 90s.

Obama started the trend. Trump accelerated it. Dealing with allies as if they were enemies doesn't help to keep a supremacy. Everybody needs friends, even big countries.
How is it anything but a win to have an additional easy option to use a more trusted relay rather than not? Many people have never heard of a relay, and wouldn’t understand its benefit if the option wasn’t presented to them like this.
I'll take your second branch, and I'll take the contrapositive: Because there is such overwhelming evidence that all humans belong to a single genetic legacy, one single race, we therefore must reject the entire premise that started the statistical inquiry. Instead, we are obligated to realize that IQ is not correlated with some mythic "g" number, and instead correlated with socioeconomic status and quality of education.
I'd love to provide virtual cards for my business. Is it a simple process to start using them with Mercury?
It's curious that it's possibly downclocked from the latest iPad Pro, although only a very little bit and that may not even be accurate reporting by GeekBench running in emulation. But of course the Intel mac mini in the same box has the famous pretty large fan. And the DTK still has the large vent opening on the back. So there is probably the same fan assembly in there — a first for an A_ series device.
Is this sarcasm? Because I can give you a couple examples of well documented, savage, systemic oppression of white people.

Are you one of those that thinks history begins in the US 250 years ago?
It reads like a constant self-congratulatory victory lap.
In my opinion, while a low point even for a high-functioning schizophrenic with a talk show, that is still small potatoes compared to the journalists who repeated the 'WMD's line. And no one is calling for them to be deplatformed.
I’m not sure I understand... What would break on your local network if a public domain you own and use only for internal resources is registered by someone else? How is this different from making up a domain name? In both cases you have to set up something to resolve the names to IP addresses on your local network, be it a hosts file or DNS. I would expect that to keep working regardless of the ownership of the domain name.
Racism is racism no matter what direction it's pointing. You don't need to have experienced hundred's of years of prejudice to experience racism. Racism is treating someone differently because of their race. It is wrong full stop, no matter the status of the perpetrator or the victim.
I mean it can be better for privacy if you think about Google/Facebook loging. But it will prevent adding all third party login services, potentially even ones that are more privacy respecting than Apple.

Also there are cases where a "sign in with <particular provider>" is the only option that makes sense because you really want to integrate with the API of this provider. Take for example a "sign in with GitHub". Or in case of services correlated, take for example Instagram where you obviously can sign up with a Facebook account.

I'm more for letting the developer choose what it prefers for authenticating the user and not having a authentication system that gets imposed by Apple.
> The party chooses the nominee, not the people.

Compared to many other countries, this is only true in a very weak sense in the US. What do I have to do to have a vote in a D or R primary? "Register as a D (or R)". That's it. Nothing more. I don't have to actually join an organization, let alone pay anything or play any role in the party other than this vote. That's fairly different from (for example) the UK, where you have to be an "actual member" of the party to help choose a nominee.
Hopefully with the coordinated move to gitlab and the now greater existence of Gitlab instances, there will be a push towards ForgeFed[0] which will allow cross-instance merge requests, forking, issue creation and more.

I imagine it would make collaboration between different instances / groups easier e.g a KDE developer won't have to create an account on Debian's gitlab in order to fork a project or create an MR, but simply stay on the KDE instance, do all the work there and then submit a cross-instance MR.

> This is not how it works. You cannot "shift" cases into summer.

Herd immunity is not binary, it’s a spectrum. Every person walking around with antibodies suppresses the R factor that much more. IMO this is a big reason new cases have been so low in NYC - so many people walking around with immunity it’s now highly suppressed.

> I also keep hearing about "hundreds of thousands of death due to side effects of quarantine" and have not seen a single reputable study regarding that.

Well, for example, the NY Times reported about 1/3 of excess deaths in NY were due to quarantine;

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/06/01/us/coronaviru...

And that’s just the immediate effects of quarantine. The long-term effects are actually worse.
And it's important to remember that ACH is typically used to:

* receive direct deposits

* pay credit card bills

* pay rent

Which represent a large amount of the value transferred vs number of transactions.
> Early on I definitely engaged in a manner that was less than pleasant...

From your top-level comment, it sounds like you started when you were 15? So, um... I and a number of others don't really want to be judged by how we commented when we were 15. (In my case, not on HN - it didn't exist yet. But yeah, I was "less than pleasant" a lot of the time.)

Don't be too hard on yourself for the teen-age years.
Um, it doesn’t forward to their iCloud email address, it forwards to the email they use for their iCloud login - eg the primary gmail or whatever address.

Users have the option to provide their personal email address, but given the track record of these being sold it’s reasonable to expect users to not trust you.

You can email them correspondence because as above that goes to their primary email.

What you lose is the value of the email address as an asset.

"We want our community to be largely white" seems like a reasonable founding principle.

Minecraft isn't source available, it's just that people in the community have put a ton of effort into decompiling and deobfuscating it. Granted, this probably wouldn't have been possible if it were written in C++.

I'm very comfortable with containers (less so specifically with k8s), but generally for stateless or stateless'ish services. What are the advantages of k8s specifically for a database?
The "corrupted" term is better here because it describes what the article is about: how to avoid security issues with real-world software tools, some of which match true regular expressions and some which match extended pseudo-"regular expressions".

See where the article says, "Faster engines may not support advanced features, most notably backreferences and lookaround assertions."

In a discussion about sucrose, fructose, aspartame, and stevia, you wouldn't tell someone to stop using the term "sweetener" and instead use the narrower and more precise term "sugar". If you did, you'd be advising them to use a word with the wrong meaning.
Yeah, I am also having a really hard time reading this visualization as perpetuating any stereotypes - assuming ofc that the data itself is correct. It would indeed by perpetuating them if it were not the case that urban stress is disproportionately felt in the Black population - but even proponents of racial justice are quite clear that this is the case in many American cities.

The legend uses the words "Low/High" and not "Bad/Good." It's a quantitative measure, not a moral/aesthetic judgment.

The conclusion of this graphic would be - There is more stress in South Central LA, which has a higher proportion of Black Americans. Or possibly, the least stress is towards the West, where there are relatively fewer Blacks.

I guess if you are concerned it will read as, "In South Central LA, there are angry black people, don't go there!" - that leap of faith will be made regardless of how you visualize the data. "Poor people are naturally lazy/violent/immoral," is a stereotype that has existed for far longer than any widely accepted attempt at data visualization.
Second that, I used H2 as the basis for a time reporting/invoicing system that has been runnin without issues for 7 years now.

How to learn mathematics: The asterisk method
If you haven't noticed, we've spiraled down to the point where group think determines what is real, not facts or logic. If you can convince thousands people to scream that something is racist, then it "becomes" racist, no matter whether it meets any factual concrete definition of what racism is. Once this behavior started, it was then used as justification to change the definition of racism to something it never used to be.

If we're going to talk about countries using their proxies to control and suppress native populations, then we can have an entire discussion about America's role in South America.

I'm not condoning China's past at all - I condemn what they did, and what they are doing right now. But any criticism of China can't come from a position of moral superiority, as it often does from western critics.
It´s Microsoft, when has Microsoft shared a downtime postmortem?
Thing to watch out for is that Amazon often is the shipper but not the seller and some of Amazon's greedier dark patterns make it tough sometimes to notice that a product that looks sold by Amazon just means it is shipped by Amazon. (It's one of the UX things were they have to be clear about it but are fighting themselves with how clear to be. Both phrases "sold by" and "shipped by" start with "s" end with "by" and you certainly have to imagine Amazon counts on you skimming the middle parts in some of their UI layouts.) Outside of "Amazon Basics" brand products, Amazon directly sells almost no electronics, from my anecdata, but they certainly ship for a large percentage of their 3rd party sellers (because of course they do, that's the easiest way to make items Prime Eligible and thus further their Amazon SEO quotients).

Though Amazon can be credited that they are consistent with returns in "shipped by" products as much as they are with "sold by" products. At least there their attempts at confusing the marketplace means they hold up some standards universally as well.
I used to agree with the idea that entertainment and tech are similar, but I've had a paradigm shift in my perspective over the last 2 years and it's helped quite a bit.. easy to forget that the internet business is in its infancy. It only feels like a hits-driven IP business right now because there is still room left for innovation and land-grabs. That won't last forever..
Well said. I especially appreciate the distinction you're making between balancing liberty with liberty-destroying ideology.

This is the kind of difficult nuance that I rarely see in these discussions. One one side there's the free speech absolutists, whose arguments tend to ignore the fact that unmoderated propaganda, and hate speech tends to be more addictive, and spread ignorance faster then fact-checking can fix it. The consequences of this sort of callous attitude are literally genocide[1].

On the other hand, there's the 'cancel-culture mobs' (for lack of a better term) which are now censoring regular speech that disagrees, or appears to disagrees, or isn't sufficiently subservient to their opinions. Just yesterday I was sadly reading this depressing thread where Yann LeCun was run off twitter[2] for explaining how bias (in the social science sense) can be traced back to various steps in the ML pipeline (in this case, mainly a feature of the dataset itself, but also the choice of errors, bias vs variance, etc).

The inability to admit nuance is the only thing I can think both these groups share, and maybe what needs to be emphasized more.
