Heroku also forces you to accept your app will die and needs to run from a cold start. Surely there's more to this k8s thing than "it's cheaper than heroku" ?
I don't read the WP nor the NYT, do you have an example of an article in either of them that is a caricature of leftist news?

My main news source (besides HN) is the Dutch public news, which is described as left-wing, but to me it feels very objective. I find it hard to judge if that means I'm just leftist and don't see what they're leaving out, or that the right is in an alternative reality.

I don't remember a single example of anybody fired from their job for opposing Iraq War (I'm not talking about top politicians, of course). I don't remember anybody fired from any papers for allowing an article opposing Iraq War to be printed. I don't remember people being beaten up in the street by rampaging mobs for opposing Iraq War. Can you provide any example of that happening?
And all sorts of nonsense happens on Facebook. But TikTok is almost infinitely less political than Facebook.

The Trump rally thing was a prank that was widely publicized on the internet. And the "I love China" videos seem to be a joke too.

You're going to find a little bit of everything on every platform. The idea that TikTok is somehow pushing Chinese ideology remains completely unfounded and baseless. It's pure imagination and conjecture.

If it ever does, it will be obvious and action can be taken then. But until it does, banning something like TikTok is simply blatantly anticompetitive and stooping to China's types of censorship. Again, we're better than that.
My personal recommendation is not to take those pictures and videos to begin with. Once it leaks, it's over.
> But, in 2020 you cannot question or be skeptical of the "progressive" agenda. Merely hinting that you are not fully bought in will get you labeled as a racist, or even worse these days, a "Conservative".

Is it really the case? Or is it a perception you have? I've become less and less liberal the past three months, for multiple reasons, and at least in my liberal bubble, i did not face any backlash.

That’s not true about YT wormholes pushing viewers into far right content.

And yes people are being banned for innocuous misgendering. And for saying only biological women are women. It’s not hate speech to say that.

Declaring things as true don’t make them true. Let’s try reasoning from first principles and acknowledging that principles actually exist. Amorphous relativism is a destructive force in society.
It does make sense because fines also serve as a deterrent.

"First, to the extent that these types of sites continue to proliferate and possibly replace traditional local news organizations, the partisanship that has come to characterize our national-level journalism could increasingly characterize our local journalism, potentially amplifying the political polarization that is already affecting the country, and potentially undermining effective self-governance at the local level. In future research, we hope to explore whether these partisan sites produce misinformation more often than their more traditional counterparts. If that is the case, it could have significant implications for well-informed local self-governance."

They are aware of that, but are also aware that local news is different and could exasperate things in terms of misinformation.
Yes, exactly. The authors are aware that some people’s receptiveness to new information is a very fragile thing, a door that will slam shut forever at the slightest hint of ego threat. It’s a shame that we need to coddle people in order to get them to ingest factual messaging.

What did the company have when he bought it apart from a name?
I agree. Basic pedagogy: if you are about to introduce an example where you think you might have to choose between being truthful or confusing, you should not introduce that example. Or, if you have to, do it the confusing way.

Lying to beginners to shield them from confusion does not help them. Find a way to do what you want to do while still telling the truth.
That's an amazing book indeed. I think you will like this one!
That's debatable. Consider this quote:

> It’s worth repeating something else Bari Weiss said [in my April 13-19 column, “Columbia Whitewashes“]: “We are doing this because we believe in the rights of all Columbia students to dissent without fear of abuse. Yes, this means for conservative students as well as left-wingers, for Zionists as well as anti-Zionists. . . . Criticizing professors does not violate their academic freedom or stifle debate. It only adds to it.”[1]

That doesn't sound like someone trying to get people fired.

Show HN: AI Generated Food Blog
When plainoldrecipe.com was on the frontpage a couple weeks ago I thought it would be funny to do the opposite: add extraneous flavor text to recipes. These flavor texts are generated by GPT-2 since I have no interest in making the content myself. Some of the stories are funny. Surprisingly the Wild Rice Pancakes suggest adding Nyquil, which I do not endorse.

Things I'll be working on next:

Automate new recipes every day (or every page refresh)

Generated recipes (the current recipes are human generated)

Deriving recipe ingredients and steps from user submitted images via http://pic2recipe.csail.mit.edu/

GPT-3. I will be applying to the open beta later this week. This would make a lot more convincing flavor texts and could be aware of the recipe itself. Right now I feed GPT2 the title only.

If you have any ideas or feedback please let me know. I'll post updates on Twitter if you are interested.

West got their regionalized treatment and given more latitude in response to media pieces alleging political censorship last year. I surmise controversial content doesn't get promoted much outside the immediate circles. Main point is the DNA of why TikTok feels the way it does is connected to experiences learned cultivating media platforms behind Chinese firewall. Politics and toxicity exist all over Chinese internet as well, they just get filtered / harmonized over time or never reach many eyes in the first place. My hope is that TikTok sticks around at least long enough to monetize and demonstrate that social media doesn't have to primarily drive conflict to reach eyeballs. Douyin (TikTok parent app) is fairly profitable in China, but it's hard to tell if the model works unless its exported and flourishes under different cultural backgrounds.
As many as it takes or is permissible, then.

The notion that customer support, just like security, is just a sunken cost needs to stop.
But in Germany courts have basically no relationship to "their constituents" because judges aren't elected but appointed (lifetime appointment). Of course you might argue that promotion chances are higher if your decisions are "popular", however such a small decision as in the current case which hase basically not had any media attention in Germany will most likely not have any impact on the deciding judges career.

Edit: after reviewing it, there hase been some media attention on this case in Germany as well.

AMD SEV's mode has changed over time (as AMD moved from SEV, to SEV-ES, to SEV-SNP). Each time, some academic has managed to reverse engineer the mode. This paper (published 2020) has documented the developments and reverse engineered the mode in SEV-ES. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.11071.pdf
This uses AMD's SVE, which as I understand is more akin to Intel's MPX than SGX (which is what Microsoft is using).

Noam Chomsky says a lot of interesting stuff but he published his writings on 9/11 a couple months after the attacks (and he certainly has his own ideological filters). He's an essayist, a linguist, but not a news source. I'm looking for the better alternative to the NYT here.

Where would you go for information if I told you about some surprising event occurred and people on Twitter are posting very different statements of fact?

That seems like an interesting choice.

As an individual, I don't think I'd ever pay for promotion of a package unless I had moved my career to providing support for open source packages.

I can imagine companies using it as a marketing exercise for their open source efforts. That might not be a bad thing as packages backed by companies tend to be better, more mature, have better support.

However I can see this then being abused by SaaS companies using this as a way to advertise their service. i.e. they provide a package that integrates with their service, so while the package is open source they are making money on the use. I can imagine this significantly degrading the quality of packages.
I believe you can add a delay for what the viewers see, which would give you some time to cut the stream in case any secrets are shown.

Reddit banned a bunch of hate subreddits. Full stop. I don't care what you think about trans men and women but this is not a case of people being overly sensitive. "Gender Critical" is the spiritual equivalent of "Race Realists" and their subreddits were nothing other than a safe space for them to express their overt hate. This was not a place "simply" for people with an opinion.

You don't understand hate speech. Misgendering a trans person isn't hate unless you do it with the intent to hurt them. Saying that only women get cervical cancer or that that shit that JK spouts about menstruation is literally no issue except for the fact that it's said to purposely be mean and exclusive.

Like FFS, I'm glad we're finally at the point where this bullshit "I'm speaking in coded language and therefore technically not being a hateful pos despite everyone and especially my followers know exactly what I mean" is being called out for what it is an not tolerated anymore.
Wow, that operation was sketchy as hell, lol. The bottom of the heli was below the water line and took on a few hundred gallons of water into the bay for a few moments. One wrong wave, a momentary loss of power, and they are all toast. I can't imagine doing that under fire.
Agreed. I saw it as a general lament against over-engineering. I don't think the point got lost in the super specific example...

You could just as easily level similar rants against the likes of React and it's wider ecosystem, Tensorflow, Typescript (many will disagree), Docker... I'm sure others have their own bugbears.

Much of this is subjective, of course. But to me, it feels like software development is trending towards unecessarily complicated development processes and architectures.

And the only beneficiaries appear to be the large technology companies.

I suppose in exchange, you're getting a guarantee of maintenance. But is that really worth the additional complexity associated with the common use of these tools?
Musk is a great hype man in an industry where hype is the difference between success and failure. If he'd started out in a different field, he could've been the next Tom Ford or Zaha Hadid. That's not necessarily a statement about the quality of his or his companies' work - Zaha Hadid does not make nice buildings, and I wouldn't buy a Tesla - but it's difficult to say whether Tesla would've succeeded if not for Musk's hype... and the point of great hype men is that people buy into the hype.

On balance, having a hype man for [PayPal Mafia voice] innovation in the world of atoms seems like a good thing. Musk may not be the best person for the role, but you probably have to be a little crazy to want to be a celebrity in the first place.

If you hate the direction the open source project has gone in, why not fork it and have the v2/HTTP version live on forever? The project does not owe it to you to stay crystallized at a moment in time.
Yeah, of course you're going to have a majority bucket of calls. The issue is when it goes above and beyond that. There isn't critical thinking.

- This customer called 3 times in the past two days and we told them to reboot their router. Maybe it's something else. (I've had personal experience with this and it took over a month to get someone to replace my line from the pole to the house).

- In the case of retail, it is much more complex (returns, repairs, warranty, pricing, etc).

It turns from an "OK" experience to a very bad one pretty quick when the script doesn't solve it.

> Also, yeah, out of the crooked timber of humanity no straight thing was ever made. People get things wrong sometimes. It sucks and we should use our freedom of speech to help correct those errors, not argue that freedom of speech should be shut down.

There's a difference in my opinion between harassment and free speech. Notably, if you're trying to punish, threaten, or coerce someone, you fall outside of the bounds of "criticism". This may not be the legal definition, but I can't see any other definition that would be consistent with free speech ideals.

Further, because it's perhaps too difficult to legally litigate this kind of harassment, we could also approach the problem by making it more difficult for employers to terminate employees, thereby neutering the mobs (they can "speak" all they want but they can't persecute).
wow... you are literally embodying the cancel culture by claiming that their opinion is irrelevant because of some HR pay practice you discovered that is totally orthogonal to the conversation?

Should we cancel your opinion because of some seemingly inconsistent opinion you had in your comment history?

This is exactly the practice of arguing the arguer, rather than the argument, and it's a bad faith tactic.

i went trying to learn how to make my linux box do something at startup.

as somebody learning how to use my linux, systemd clouded the discovery process of learning how to linux in the intended way.

i ended up using systemd, but now that's the thing i'm familiar with if i want to add some service to my computer... so it has infected me with some non-linux-y knowledge that won't go away soon.
Thoughts and You
Because FB/Insta/Snap aren’t indirectly owned by the Chinese Communist Party. By definition, the communist regime owns all of China including all Chinese companies. TikTok is owned by ByteDance which bends the knee to the CCP. TikTok is not inherently bad, but the CCP is. Conversely, Facebook, in and of itself, is bad without the help of the CCP.
You would have to explain the degree to which parts were traced, certified, tested, etc. If you simply trust the supplier and distributor anything could happen.

I mentioned in another thread that we had one of the top two US electronics distributors knowingly ship us low "B" grade components many, many years ago. These components were in allocation and an enterprising young man at the distributor thought he would be smart and ship us a lower qualified component instead of what we ordered. That was twenty years ago or so. It cost our company dearly, nearly took us out of business.

This was that learning moment for me and it changed my approach to sourcing as well as the level of trust I grant anyone providing us with components. I will never put anything into a design where an illegitimate or lower grade component could jeopardize the safety, reliability or operation of the system.

At some level this is what engineering is about, isn't it? It's that old "Trust but verify?" concept.

We are working on industrial, flight (aircraft) and space (lunar) projects at the moment. No component will go into any of these systems without full knowledge and verification of its origins. This is true for individual components or contracted sub-assemblies.

BTW, this issue of failures being caused by not verifying components isn't anything new. The history of engineering is full of examples. One reasonably recent example of this happened to SpaceX a number of years ago:

Israel's a tricky case, to be honest.

It's worth noting that the more virulent people on both sides I've encountered tend to be either citizens or residents of America, which I find odd.

I do generally agree with your point, but it's a general facet of humans, rather than something specific to an issue.
I think it comes down to your "persona". For example George Hotz does multi-hour long coding streams that are all over the place, but they have some entertainment value because he's a bit of a kooky character.
Sounds like it's pretty bad at the NY Times.

"My own forays into Wrongthink have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I’m “writing about the Jews again.” Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in."

This is a classic example of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." The problem congress had was simple: Businesses need help keeping staff and paying bills. The solution was also simple, give the businesses some cash asap.

To implement this solution would prove to be tricky as magically poofing billions of dollars into the hands of these businesses requires a lot more than just handing a check to people who filed taxes and thus were on record. They thought they would leverage an institution that already issues money to their audience here: business loans.

This sounds great, right? Fed says (not a direct quote), "Go ahead and issue money to (almost) any business who asks for it and we will guarantee it" and, "Businesses who qualify will have it forgiven." It uses a system already in place to get cash out fast to people, rather than the law requiring a website to be built out among other bits of infrastructure as by the time this is done, many businesses would have likely gone under when this cash could have helped them prevent that.

The problems, however, present themselves very quickly. First, banks were reluctant to loan money out to organizations with no credit, but the fed guaranteed all of these loans, right? Well, kind of. They guaranteed up to an amount issued but if banks loaned out more, they would be on the hook for servicing that loan to a business that is already struggling. The information as how this would be divided amongst banks was also unclear. In short, banks did not trust that congress would have their backs if something got messed up with the interpretation of the language and delegation of available funds. The second issue was where they favored large businesses who would likely have been able to weather the pandemic and thus they could collect the loan from if Uncle Sam did not end up backing it for technicalities. It's also easier to make 100 large loans of $100,000 than 500 small loans of $20,000.

Small businesses represent more than 2/3 (fig. might be outdated) of all businesses, they are typically among the top employers in rural areas, providing livelihoods to people living in smaller communities and this shit has screwed them big time. Many have closed, and more will close, that will never reopen again.
