> accusing people of lying to win an argument is bad faith

I didn't do that. I accused someone of using a cheap -- though fairly common -- type of rhetorical trick. It's a form of motte and bailey, which is itself a logical fallacy.

Is accusing someone of using a logical fallacy against the rules of HN as well? Would be ironic in the current context.
Great codebase. I stumbled on this while trying to figure out how to programmatically control screen brightness in a macOS app. Turns out that this is far more difficult than imagined. Even controlling just the built-in screen, something I assumed would be included in Apple's libraries, was not included. The source code in MonitorControl is very well written and commented and helped me catch the mistakes I was doing in my very hacky solution.

Madison is still correct, in a way.

The US Congress has incredibly low approval ratings, as a whole. But each individual congressperson enjoys surprisingly high approval from their constituents. I guess Madison just didn't see that those two things could happen at the same time.

If viewed from the different perspective of government intrusion on tech, it can appear less shocking. A government encouraged by its citizenry to use its leverage over tech companies will continue to do so, and not always in the same ways.
Because history has shown time and time again that governments cannot be trusted to do what is in the best interest of the people.

Is Grubhub the one marking up the prices, or are the restaurants doing it (to recoup their Grubhub fees)?
Hi scarygliders,

That's a good question and valid skepticism. The UI serves two purposes.

The first is to manage your cluster. For example, you may want to change a users role (to change what servers they can access) or play back a session recording to see what a user did within a session. You can do all of these things from the CLI, but sometimes you don't want to remember the exact command and flags, that's where the UI comes in.

The second is to have access to servers from an environment that either does not have robust SSH support, doesn't allow you to install software, or maybe an environment (temporary) into which you don't want to install software. For example, when the UI was first written Windows did not have great support for SSH certificates, but the UI would allow Windows users to access Teleport clusters.

Lastly, the UI is completely optional, in addition even the CLI tool is (almost) optional. Once you've fetched your certificate, you can use your OpenSSH client as normal. In-fact a lot of people use Teleport this way.

I disagree many times it's often the only 100% factually correct statement. Person A was run over by a car. Person B was arrested at the scene sitting behind the wheel. The reporter often only has that information to go on. They can not know 100% for sure that Person B ran over Person A.

2 weeks later camera footage comes out showing Person C driving over Person A, getting out of the car and running, and Person B moving over to sit in the drives seat.

I have been using this tool over 3 years. It is just first time I share it. And it is for FA person for sure.

I have found many patterns by combining multiple financial indicators (events) that shows momentum of the businesses.

For example:
- Free cash flow change positive in row
- Debt negative in row
- The highest dividend level in 5 year period
- etc.

You can combine this data in the basket feature.

Of course, this tool gives ideas for long term investors.
First of all, deaths are on the rise[1]. That said, if the populations for new cases stays about where it is now, the relative rate for new cases vs deaths will likely still be lower than we saw in the "first wave". This is because the population of individuals getting covid now is skewed toward young people. Think of it as a large group of individual that have a low risk of death engaging in behavior that has a high risk of getting them infected.

Wow... is IBM the Kodak of computing/hosting?
Yes. I was aware of my characterization and the word peackocking (to make a vainglorious display; strut like a peacock) was used before it was co-opted by PUA community (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/peacocking).

Let's rewrite that paragraph and use fewer emotionally charged words.

--

As a younger person I thought transgenderism was about seeking attention. But being trained in the liberal arts I decided to question this assumption and not act antagonistically towards them because of my personal interpretation of their situation.

As I got older I realized my initial assumption about attention seeking was incorrect and I took responsibility for and corrected my beliefs.

I guess it could have turned out differently if I hadn't been trained in the liberal arts. So I'm glad my training included keeping an open mind and accepting people different from me and with different life circumstances.

--

Same exact content, none of the emotional baggage and vainglory.

Notice all the words I took out because I knew they would elicit negative reactions in the reader: stupid, dumb, mistake, very very angry, upset, homophobic. He repeated those words enough times that a perceptive reader would have picked up on the subtext of him trying to distance himself from those negatively valenced words. He's not trying to educate the reader, he's trying to put distance between himself and certain associations. That's why it's not good writing. It's about him, it's not about the reader. And in his attempt to "peacock" he's putting associations into the reader's mind that are detrimental to the reader's thought processes all the while elevating himself as a paragon of goodness. As the term "peacock" suggests, his writing is vainglorious.
> It's not any better if business trade-offs make another decision better.

I'm sorry, but cleaning your windows with Windex instead of tap water is then "not any better if business trade-offs make tap water better". I am just not sure what you are arguing for: Static typing is better, except for when you don't have static typing?

Some folks here are in the position to choose their current, or shape a collective future landscape, and for those static typing is a consideration.

You mention PHP a few times, but I think this is actually a good example for something that has been pushed away in favor of better things. My impression is that at least the bigger software corporations have moved away from PHP if they ever used it to begin with. Even Facebook, one of PHP's biggest users, replaced it with their own so-named "Hack" eventually, which is apparently a PHP-derivate with "both dynamic typing and static typing" according to Wikipedia.
How about let the free market decide?
Here in Norway, we don't have any entrance exams - your HS grades are the only thing that counts - along with some extra points for age, military service, etc.

For the most prestigious University majors, this results in two sets of students: Those that had good enough grades to get in on their first try, straight out of school - or those that simply have to wait X number of years, until they've re-taken enough classes, gained enough age points, and what not.

One roomie of me during college had spent like 5 years doing all that, before finally getting accepted to medical studies. It's insane.

But still, with all that, I really feel bad for the students in China / India / Singapore / etc. where your future pretty much rests on one exam, and that's that.

At least here in the west, especially richer northern counties, people can "screw around" for years trying to find their way, without it hurting them too much - financially, or professionally.
Its german BND sitting at DE-CIX, but they fully cooperate with NSA to the point where they had to answer some ugly questions about why the fuck they helped a foreign intelligence service to literally spy on the german governement.

Reminds me of some of my difficulty convincing old C# developers to break years of DateTime habits and move on to DateTimeOffset. One round trips ISO 8601 directly and the other uses "magic" (DateTimeKind) that is sometimes (likely) wrong.

That also reminds me that .NET documentation likes to pedantically remind me that what I think of as ISO 8601 is probably more specifically IETF RFC 3339, which defines a formal BNF grammar as ISO didn't think to do that in the 80s. (Yay, standards.)
> But I think if you discount by 50% or so you'll be pretty close

Look, a metric ton of sugar wholesale costs about $250. When you buy it in 1kg bags in supermarkets, with an extremely streamlined and risk free distribution chain, it already costs about four times that price. Imagine how much would the markup be if it were sold by the gram (typical purchase a few grams), by random people on the streets, with a huge personal risk and maybe even cut with other substances to add mass, after having passed through three or four intermediaries. The retail price is probably x1000 the price of the shipping container.
IMHO the situation of the USA is worlds apart from what I experienced as a kid in South America. The systemic corruption is normalized in Latin America. I remember when my dad bought a car that looked nice and we considered trading it because transit cops would stop us every now and then to get a tip from us. If we didn't agree to tip, we could potentially be arrested and paying your way out of the commissary was more expensive. The privileged had government printed plates that stopped cops messing with the occupants of the car.

I came to the USA to have the future I couldn't have back there, and I call bullshit on your comparison. I didn't go to an ivy league school, I went to a public school, and today I make hiring decisions over engineering candidates with Ivy League school backgrounds. That type of social mobility is a fantasy in South America and the other countries you are trying to compare with the USA.

It's typically white people funding these types of causes. Does any black person actually think it's a good idea to draw attention towards skin color at such young age without giving children any context?

Children don't naturally think about these differences at all. Parents are the ones who teach them to focus on it. They real lesson should be that skin color is not important - Not that it's so important that you need a fancy box of crayons to represent all the tones accurately... That is insane! What next? Are we going to start punishing children for misrepresenting people's exact skin tones? They can barely draw accurate stick figures.
> Collective bargaining evens out the power imbalances between workers and their employers.

The reason it's strange is because if the government is a democracy (representative or direct), there should already be a mechanism for collective bargaining.

The fact that this is often insufficient strikes me as a pretty strong indictment of our systems of government.
I wrote the article - I don't think it is inflamatory. It is irrelevant if 0% of business owners are Black. The US Treasury (which controls the IRS, money printing and funds the government) should not abuse its power to favor a certain segment of the population. The government should not bail out private companies.
Somewhere I read an argument that numbers games (private, local lotteries, sometimes run by organized crime) helped some poor people by acting as a form of savings, except one that paid a negative interest rate and where you couldn't control the timing of when you got your savings out.

That sounds like a super-awful kind of savings account, but I think this argument assumed that many numbers-game players' next-most-preferred use of the money they would bet on it was even less like savings, so it could still be helpful by pulling money away from other things. Of course, that's a pretty big and pretty specific assumption.

This project and the idea that inspired it are a way better form of savings because the savers can actually access their principal and don't actually have to pay the bank.

To summarize some of the limitations I’ve read in sibling comments:

– Recent trend appears to be bundling resources (e.g. Webpack) instead of using CDNs.

– This trend is complemented by browsers moving to per-site caches that limit the benefit of CDNs.

– Content-Security-Policy and/or Subresource Integrity restrictions can break some websites.

– Only a limited set of resources are included with Decentraleyes.

All that said, this is a really cool idea from both privacy and performance standpoints. Would love to see ways to address those limitations in the future.
>The recognition of what right?

The right of sovereignty of Native peoples over themselves and their lands, as recognized and respected by treaties signed onto in (ostensible) good faith by the United States, and natural law itself.

>You believe its right to subject a person who lives in Oklahoma, who has never lived in a country other than the USA, who has never stolen anyone's land, to the non-representative rule of a person (who's land was never stolen) because of their racial origin?

Yes, because parts of Oklahoma are the sovereign territory of Native peoples. That's been established legal fact for centuries. Here's a Wikipedia article on Tribal sovereignty in the US for further clarification[0]. When you cross from one sovereign territory into another, you become subject to its laws.

I'm sorry the situation is frustrating. Things would obviously be simpler if the settlers had either not committed to the path of Manifest Destiny and genocide, or else committed to it entirely. As it is, they half-assed it and now things are complicated.

But the Natives were there first and their rights are no less inalienable than yours or mine.

>I'm very interested in the ideology that led you to these beliefs.

The ideology is, simply, morality and respect for the rule of law.

This may be the first interesting/good use for the Touch Bar many HN'ers have seen.

But the touchbar was designed primarily for AV professionals from the beginning -- sliding controls for filmstrips, audio sliders, colors, etc.

It's just that most developers have never needed to do any work like that, and have never used the creative apps that expose this, so don't see the point.

But it's genuinely for the "professional" part of Pro. Not develop professionals, but creative professionals.
This article lacks the self awareness or nuance that I was hoping for. I don't think there's a single part where the media is portrayed in a negative light. I think it's save purely by the author's prose.

For example

> "bear the classic markers of grandiosity: the conviction that they are at once potent and beleaguered"

Is only applied to tech not journalism. But is so well written that you ignore that fact."Gray Lady against the Grey Tribe" is great turn of phrase and I hope it catches on.
You should probably factor in the enjoyment and experience gained - doing repairs or building something yourself, for example, could be more rewarding than the dollar amount.
Mavericks? Do you mean Mojave? Because I don't even think Mavericks runs on the Touch Bar MacBooks.
I think the problem here is that the left has learned that compromise positions leave gaping holes in the legal framework to the point that the laws that do get passed become largely useless.

Sure, we can compromise on the background check requirements such that certain types of sales don't require background checks... well, ok, but then that just means that the people who would fail a background check will buy privately or from a gun show, and their access isn't really diminished, so the so-called "compromise" was little better than not passing a law at all.

It still boggles my mind that if I want to drive a car, I have to be tested and licensed, and carry insurance, but if I want to buy a device specifically designed to kill, I can just walk into a store, and after any weak legally-mandated waiting period, walk out with a gun I don't even know how to use, let alone use safely.

And all this because it has to do with an amendment to the constitution that was never intended to mean what people have since "decided" it means. The current legal interpretation of 2A only exists because of lobbying groups like the NRA.
IMHO the main thing that determines this trend is whether the results are good enough. For the most part, there's only some overlap between the people who work on better results and people who work on more efficient results, those research directions are driven by different needs and thus also tend to happen in different institutions.

As long as our proof of concept solutions don't yet solve the task appropriately, as long as the solution is weak and/or brittle and worse than what we need for the main partical applications, most of the research focus - and the research progress - will be on models that try and give better results. It makes sense to disregarding the compute cost and other impractical inconveniences when working on pushing the bleeding edge, trying to make the previously impossible things possible

However, when tasks are "solved" from the academic proof-of-concept perspective, then generally the practical, applied work on model efficiency can get huge reductions in computing power required. But that happens elsewhere.

The concept of technology readiness level (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_readiness_level) is relevant. For the NLP and CV technologies that are in TRL 3 or 4, the efficiency does not really matter as long as it fits in whatever computing clusters you can afford; this is mainly an issue for the widespread adoption of some tech in industry by the time the same tech is in TRL 6 or so, and this work mostly gets done by different people in different organizations with different funding sources than the initial TRL 3 research.

Disclaimer: I don't have a settled opinion either for or against this surveillance. I really don't think I've heard all of the relevant facts or perspectives yet.

The main "pro-surveillance" argument that comes to mind is that sometimes these protests devolve into illegal looting and destruction of private/public property. I think my ideal would be for police to have only the surveillance needed to prosecute those crimes, and nothing else.

Seeing how compromise didn't work and the history of abuse some of the restrictions you gave have seen (i.e. poor availability of classes, failure to issue in reasonable time, concerns about abuse of psychiatric diagnoses, or attaching a monetary cost to the exercise of a right) many will no longer settle for anything but the repeal of all restrictions on the right to bear arms.
