First of all thank you for relativising my one-sided comment. Let me clarify what I mean a bit.

I agree with you on your arguments about Chrome. I don't support Chrome specific features. They even have broken things in the past.

My perspective on this is that iOS locks out non-Safari browsers, so users are forced to use it and as a developer I'm forced to make workarounds for it.

With IE11 I don't have this problem anymore. We're at a stage now where I can convince my clients of "This is a browser, which is losing official support soon. I can make this feature work/look better on IE11 if you really want, which costs me this much time". IE is being faded out just by the fact that more new stuff looks worse and works worse.

With Safari this is not the case. There is no "Oh this website works better with Firefox, you should install it" which is likely the biggest factor for browser adoption and my gut feeling says that Apple knows and uses this.

This particular statement seems questionable:

> My main point is that Safari is not flouting or disregarding established W3C/WHATWG web standards but, rather, being very careful about how it implements those standards which takes time.

In some cases their actions simply don't make sense, except if you look at it from a perspective of protecting their iOS App platform. For example breaking localStorage in the name of privacy (which is ridiculously paradox) and not supporting obvious, simple UX improvements like scroll-anchoring.

Safari is in some cases stricter/more standards compliant than Firefox and especially Chrome. But in some cases like above the feature intersection of Firefox and Chrome is the one that makes the most sense for the web.

It depends. Which ones represent the right of owning dark skinned people? I would be happy if they ban those too.
If I understand this correctly, the author was rejected from YC, failed to get any customer interest for his own startup, so he’s pivoting to running Hackathons in Universities as an incubator.

> Univation is the way to change the process and implement the above-listed solutions. An incubator program, for Universities, to let Student Founders start 1) on an already developed idea and 2) make them into teams.

This sounds like any other themed Hackathon event without pre-formed teams. My concern is that he doesn’t mention what, if any, financial interest he takes in their output.

If he’s simply coordinating students with experts in a mentoring environment for fun and learning, that’s great.

If he’s taking advantage of students to do work on other people’s (“experts”) ideas and keeping large portions of the equity for himself and experts, that’s not so great.

Until we have the details, I’m skeptical. I’ve seen a lot of great things come out of university entrepreneurship programs, but there are constantly sharks in the water around enterprising college students. If you find yourself approached by one of these programs, make sure to find an external mentor without a financial interest who can provide some guidance and review terms for you.

> What do poor people tend to eat? Fast food burgers and other high calorie, low cost meals that are readily available. No prep/cook time, minimal cost (at least on the surface) and hot and palatable to most.

I think it is a uniquely western problem. I know for a fact that for most of Asia and Africa, and even South America, cheap food doesn't include processed food. In fact, foods like lentils and rice tend to be a major parts of the diet. This is usually supplemented with some form of local crop (veggies or otherwise) or easily accessible wildlife (or farmed animals and birds).
Thinking with your code can be an effective learning tool. You can learn how to offset more and more abstraction layers to your code and focus on higher level capabilities. When your code becomes a thinking tool, you will pay more attention to the languages you use, and start requiring more from them; as they will shape your thinking.

Initially, ML languages did this for me. I now use Rust in a similar fashion. Even when I have to program in languages that require heavy cognitive load, like C++ and JS, I can leverage what I've learn in my preferred languages. Program defensively (maybe slower?), design with types, and still be able to build highly complex software while managing complexity.
Tech professionals weigh in on what they expect from companies post-Coronavirus
No. I think that it is a responsibility and a duty for citizens and private organizations to self enforce censorship amongst themselves, as we see happening here. But, I do not think it is a good idea to grant that power to the ruling class due to the risk of abuse. Free speech is specifically a check on political power -- this is why it is entirely okay for private companies and individuals to censor speech but we greatly restrict the government's ability to do so. Yes, some governments with "hate speech" legislation have managed not to abuse the power, but there are plenty of examples of abuse to show that it is a risky step to take. Why should we take the risk of expanding state power if we have alternative solutions?
I think we should at least seriously consider that advocating for the murder or enslavement of people falls under the same speech category as incitement and yelling "fire!" in a theater.

And the Confederate Battle Flag and Nazi Flag absolutely do advocate the for murder and enslavement of people.
James McPherson, a Princeton Civil War historian says: “Probably 90 percent, maybe 95 percent of serious historians of the Civil War would agree on the broad questions of what the war was about and what brought it about and what caused it, which was the increasing polarization of the country between the free states and the slave states over issues of slavery, especially the expansion of slavery.”"

Look at the secession documents from the states:

At the very onset, on December 20, 1860, South Carolina declared that President-elect Abraham Lincoln’s “opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery.”

On January 7, 1861, the ordinance signed in Montgomery that “it is the desire and purpose of the people of Alabama to meet the Slaveholding States of the South, who may approve such purpose, in order to frame a provisional as well as permanent government upon the principles of the Constitution of the United States.”

On February 2, 1861, Texas declared its decision to be “based upon the unnatural feeling of hostility to these Southern States and their beneficent and patriarchal system of African slavery, proclaiming the debasing doctrine of equality of all men, irrespective of race or color—a doctrine at war with nature, in opposition to the experience of mankind, and in violation of the plainest revelations of the Divine Law.”

On March 9, 1861, Arkansas’s George B. Smoote added a resolution: “Resolved, that the platform on the party known as the Black Republican Party contains unconstitutional dogmas, dangerous in their tendency and highly derogatory to the rights of slave states, and among them the insulting, injurious and untruthful enunciation of the right of the African race of their country to social and political equality with the whites.”

On April 17, 1861 latecomer Virginia, provoked by Lincoln’s raising troops to suppress the already seceded states, declared “Lincoln’s opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery” as it cut ties with Washington. Tennessee was the 11th and last, its population divided on secession (eastern Tennesseans generally opposed it), but not on the slave issue.

...yeah, that's why the war was fought. Don't let confederate apologists change history here. Every confederate state had "slavery" in their constitutions.
I agree with regards to private companies banning racist symbols, but the top comment was talking about anti hate-speech _laws_, which seem like a departure from my understanding of the first amendment. If a law against displaying the Confederate battle flag can be justified without a change to the constitution, then it really does become a slippery slope when determining what other unpopular expressions the first amendment fails to protect.
I'd recommend you abandon this idea. What attracts most people to YC is money, connections, and advice. It doesn't sound like you're in a position to offer these things.

If you need help figuring out to work on, Startup School is a good option. Reading Paul Graham's essays on ideas should help. His advice is not all applicable to people outside his bubble but his advice on ideas is excellent.

Choosing the idea is the most critical thing you will do. The difference between an idea that seems good and one that is actually good can be very difficult to determine. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is to launch multiple projects and see which gets traction. In any case, the ability to iterate on multiple projects and then multiple versions is a hugely powerful ability.

I'd recommend you focus on solving some problems you have experienced personally. Want a GIF meme generator for your Discord channel? Do that. Or anything regardless of how trivial it is but just focus on making it grow. Worry about the financial aspects after you have learned how to make something succeed. Maybe you will find that your project can't be easily monetized but at least you will learn what market success feels like for the next project. Or you can decide to do only things that might have a good financial outcome, that could work too, but it still would be very good to solve a problem you have experienced.

Yeah I could have amended about security, but I was replying to a comment about specs and Android phones being deprecated after 2 years, which I don't interpret as being security-related.
Calling this his choice is an odd word selection, if someone is under extortion or blackmail do they give in by choice? If option A is horrible and one has to chose option B, is it fine and dandy because it was made by choice?
"This slope isn't particularly sloppy" is the single best reply capturing the delusion and dishonesty of the people who celebrate the limiting of speech and expression heere.

At least admit it proudly, that you are placing a punishment on vocalbulary and imposing self-censorship and thus invading privacy too.

All these masks attempting to cover-up reduction of politics to friend/enemy distinction are even more insulting than the act of limiting speech in the first place.

Ah yes, Mexicans, famously known for subjugating Americans under slavery for centuries and denying Americans Civil Rights for more.
This. I have recently discovered after many years that I have fear thoughts and laziness antithoughts that convert into anxiety and fear and sometimes indignation. Its a mine field out there in a mind. Mental health is as much work as keeping up with fitness/gym routine.
Orange?
AFAIK Germany's anti hate speech laws revolve around the use of national socialist related lexicon and symbolism. I think it is perfectly reasonable that a line is drawn in this case, regarding where free speech goes to far - i.e. fascism is never OK.

Whether the goal of these censorship policies in other countries / companies, is something that should probably be determined on a case-by-case basis. Generally your question brings to mind 2 more questions I would ask you in turn for elaboration:

1) Do you think there should be a line drawn anywhere to say that this is the absolute limit of free speech? E.g. being able to say that some people are less valuable as human beings arguably brings little value any discussion.
2) Do you believe that symbols may change overtime to represent ideas that perhaps do not relate as much to their original meaning as a symbol? I'm talking about the confederate flag here. Granted, I'm not a US citizen, but I do not understand want possible purpose the confederate flag could serve in today's age, other than as an acknowledgement of antiquated values and ideas no longer endorsed by today's culture? Maybe 20, 30 years ago, not as many people really cared whether the confederate flag had anything to do with racism or slavery. But now, its meaning is arguably more hostile, just due to the way it is used as a counter to the BLM movement and other related anti-racism movements.

So, why would some one honestly use the confederate flag as a artistic symbol in this way today? Just as no-one would use the SS lightning bolt as an icon or symbol in Europe and expect to not get a reaction from people. In these cases, I would argue that doing is more an act of ignorance than it is an act of freedom of speech.

Disclaimer: I am a EU resident in Germany who knows next to nothing about censorship law in this country - this is my humble and probably misinformed opinion. Any knowledgeable Germans please feel free to correct my interpretation.
I may be biased, having lived here all my life, but I would agree, it is a pretty nice place to live.
To be frank, there's few countries that I would even consider moving to.
> From what I've seen in my career, the expectations for an architect are far more "hands in the dirt" as time goes on.

As it should be, I'm an architect, worked for Central banks (equiv of the FED), working for crypto startups, and also medium size enterprise... I don't respect architects that can't "do". That said It's an important function IMO.
Reminds me of when Trump a while ago (before the recent George Floyd stuff) was commenting on statues being torn down, and commented something like, "next they'll go for George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, where does it end?" John Oliver did a bit on it answering "Somewhere. It ends somewhere," implying that he was an idiot, that it was a stupid comment, and everybody laughed. Now we're here and it has actually happened in reality. It's even gone further. Roosevelt. Lincoln?? We even have prominent BLM figures saying the western portrayal of Christ is systemic racism and must be erased.

Since then I've come to see the answer "it ends somewhere" as completely void of any value or meaning, and mostly just a justification for mindless erasure. It's not a smart zinger, it's empty.
Fair enough, I was thinking in context of the overall thread. Cheers
There's a rather large selection of good-to-extraordinary software that doesn't use any sort of analytics/auto-reporting. Off the top of my head, GNU coreutils, and BSD flavor, sqlite, qmail, (neo)vim, emacs, GIMP...
I did my own "JavaScript Server Pages" using Rhino (JS for Java), which does compilation of JS to java bytecode. It worked great for me. I did two sites using it, then changed job.
It strikes me how this gives a value proposition for go that is very similar to COBOL: Easy structure, predictable to build and run, minimize individual coding style differences,....

Not necesarrily disparaging for either lanfuage, as COBOL, boring as it is, has brought tremendous value in large scale software engineering.

There are of course big differences too, like i18n, variable width strings, ... But if you give COBOL a c-style syntax,some dynamic size data structures, and you squint a bit, you end up quite close to Go
Not really. The rising sun flag is the flag of the imperial Japanese army, the one that allied with Nazi Germany. They were brutal and deserve to be regarded in a similar manner to Nazi Germany.

The Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force flag is problematic. It's like Mississippi or Georgia's state flags before 2020, it's a call back to things that should be left in the history books.
To add, a lot of practices that were considered "spyware" or "malware" during the web dark ages have become normalized as growth-hacks or the cost of using free (as in beer) software.
Of all the reasons to boycott Facebook, why did it have to be their free speech / anti-censorship policy?
Because that’s not already the case in the US? Ask a Muslim friend to post a joke about blowing up JFK and see how long it is until their door is broken down
For machine vision problems, synthetic data with domain randomisation definitely works, provided, that is, you are able to generate a large enough number of different modes of variation.

In fact, it works so well it feels like cheating.
>it's a pretty slippery slope.

I disagree.

>Is this a hate symbol?

I believe so.

>will you also consider whatever other symbol gets co-opted?

Yes, if it does get co-opted to the extent of replacing its original meaning. Luckily that only happens rarely. That's just how symbols and communication work - it's an unfortunate and unavoidable reality. The swastika is the most obvious example.
That falls over very quickly in go unfortunately because of zero values.

I don't have an opinion on this as it's way too fresh to have observed the effects of it and render a judgment; just here to provide context.
Fork it? The better solution is to use less dependencies. Or in this case write JavaScript the browser can execute today, not to standards that might not be implemented tomorrow.

Or work with a paid version of npm if you’re app is business critical.
This is why I still use Python in performance critical code (but not so performance critical that you need to squeeze each CPU cycle). It's simply too easy to write performance critical functions in C and ffi call it in python. Of course, compared to many other language it's still slow "in general" but for your give particular task it's pretty easy to make it very fast. Just write the bottlenecking tight loop in C and everything else can be in python.
You can create your own website and and host it yourself.
I get people who succeeded preaching their view on what made them succeed (even if it often mis-attributes luck to spurious factors). But what is the recent trend of people who haven't even succeeded in their field preaching about what it takes to succeed and being listened to? Youtube videos, that coding career book that was posted here recently, this incubator, etc. I mean, I get the Dunning-Kruger effect as to why they preach but why are people paying so much attention to them?
Slavery was a huge economic driver as the economy of the south was largely agricultural.

> Wasn’t that a factor that was emphasized later?

States rights was a factor that was emphasized later. Historical documents indicate that the war was explicitly over slavery.
>This is the real crime. Its 2020, can't we have a better physical interface than a flat surface?

Carbon nanotubes!
But they're rather fragile, expensive to manufacture on a commercial scale and you'd be fighting 30+ years of legacy products, marketing and manufacturing infrastructure.
What I've seen personally is the rename started with the terminology of "master/slave" such as for database replication. This is happening now and at speed because of Black Live Matter and related progressive movements.

My clients are changing terminology from "master/slave" to "main/replica", and from there it's an easy step to changing terminology from "master" to "main" everywhere else including git.

My clients are doing related kinds of word changes, such as changing security terminology from colors "white/black" to functions "select/reject", and "whitelist/blacklist" to "allow/deny", and "white-hat/black-hat" to "ethical/criminal", etc.
um. Turbo Pascal was owned by Borland at that time.

It's the more rural areas that are putting requirements on people coming into their states, not cities/states keeping people from leaving. (And the requirements I'm aware of may weekend getaways harder but they're not a real barrier for someone making a long-term move.)
Sure, it might not violate the law. The problem with private companies trying to enforce political opinions and controlling speech on their platform is that it is pretty much the definition of McCathyism. With people losing their job over liking a tweet. I remember when the left was looking at the McCarthy period as a dark page of american history. I am appalled how quickly this went 180 degrees.
For example there is Parler, an alternative to Twitter. While it is not a state company, it promotes free speech. They claim "Our content is moderated based off the FCC and the Supreme court of the United States which enables free expression without violence and a lack of censorship.".
The underlying assumption in your comment is that worrying is bad.

Worrying is a great thing! When I get in the car, I worry I might have a car accident, so I wear a seat belt and pay attention to the road.

Either you think OP's concerns aren't well-founded or you think their psychological way of dealing with worry is bad. Since you don't know OP and OP is questioning the former, why not address the question "should we be worried about the economy?" rather than tell OP to go to therapy?
No band 14 support :(

I admit this is a niche issue, but it's critical for me.
All meaning aside, I think the off-center rising sun flag is really cool looking.
The lack of decline in SF housing prices is deceiving. Landlords won't reduce the base rent because of rent control. Instead they'll leave units vacant or offer a few free months or $0 deposits.

So the stats might show a flatness in rental rates, but in reality there was a drop. And then as soon as the crisis is over, people want to move back and the rents start going up from that flat base rate after the incentives stop.
A man who runs an incubator in Portland once told me that anyone can run an incubator one year. Almost anyone can run it two years. It's years three and beyond that make all the difference.

With that in mind, I'm exciting to see where this incubator is in 2023!
