I firmly believe that TR (with their higher base freq) + ECC would be the ultimate SERVER.

The TR 3970x in particular is amazing for a server. It's 32 core, all running at a base freq of 3.7Ghz. It's amazing to have that kind of high clock with so many cores.

I wonder why my immigrant friends get so passionate about American politics. I find it mostly boring.

I think you’re not describing real political passion or engagement, though — Americans can get quite worked up about politics but we’re not all that engaged, or passionate enough to lobby for real change. Politics serve as signs of tribal affiliation and self-identity, and sometimes as a way to bludgeon other people. In that sense talking about politics is similar to, and as pointless as, arguing about sports. We (Americans) actually don’t show much real engagement if you look at voter turnout.
For a paid account this is utterly unacceptable. For a free account I can kinda understand it, although it'd still be nice to get some automated explanation. An automated system that can't provide a good reason to disable an account, shouldn't be disabling accounts at all.

If this is a thing that happens at Github, I guess that's another reason to check out Gitlab instead.

The author is not aware that etcd is still offering the JSON API he mentioned. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23835651 so his main argument doesn't hold in the first place. The rest of the post is "Google's technologies like protobuf/grpc influence people too much, everything should be a json api".
That's a lot of money, but not "change public policy" levels of cash, either.

On the other side, handling pennies is expensive for businesses and banks, I bet it costs at least that much. There are special interests on both sides of this.
The article suggests the likelihood that the writers of the content are lying about who they are and in fact are not in the local environment they are 'reporting on'. Is it really local news if the writers are lying about their identity and they are not located anywhere near the news location?
"People were mean to me and other opinion writers who weren't fact-checked and frequently got facts wrong. I'm not considering these complaints Free Speech, but our hurt feelings mean that Free Speech was hurt.

My boss, James Bennett, solicited a piece from Tom Cotton that called for the state to take arms against protesters (protesting might called… speech?), and didn't read the piece before publishing it. The people saying he was doing a bad job are against Free Speech.

Opinion writers like me aren't fact-checked and are allowed to mouth off on Twitter, my newsroom employees _are_ fact-checked and not allowed to have opinions on Twitter. They broke the rules and used speech to say I misrepresented an internal meeting to my own ends when I thought they weren't going to talk. They still dare to have Slack emoji reactions (not speech, somehow) to tell me my ideas are bad.

Anyway, I'm on Team Free Speech and everyone else hates Free Speech."

1. The project leaders agreed to this; it's not just the Google people. If it were just Google, they would have had to fork the project and call it getcd or whatever, then ruin it at the expense of their own reputation.

2. Speaking of forking, it's still quite possible for a few interested developers to fork an clean older version, call it freetcd, and rebuild the reputation. It worked for LibreOffice after all - and that's when OpenOffice wasn't terrible, just somewhat mismanaged.

All that said - I don't quite see why you need a specialty database for a simple key-value store for /etc settings. Aren't there plain-vanilla kv-stores which would do?
Speed, efficiency, and type checking are the main reasons.

Yes, you can keep NATting the same address space as many times as you want. As long as you have proper network boundaries there's nothing preventing, say, your ISP from using 10/8 for the country, then each province having a router that NATs 10/8 up to your gateway, which then NATs 10/8 for your home network.

But the further you go into the NAT layers the worse performance you'll see, because each NAT adds some latency overhead and more places where things can go wrong.
> Is it really the case?

Pretty hard to answer that question in HN with anything other than another anecdote, but I would personally answer that question with "yes". I have seen this behavior on several online forums I am in (including HN) as well as in real-world settings.

The well-documented incidents with "non-left" speakers on college campuses is another data point. Take a look at the insanity that happened at Evergreen College, for example.

This sort of behavior is easily observed, from my point of view, in real-life and online.
To be fair I think the green screen whiteboard trick was a much more valuable tip, I've done a similar thing in the past but it's probably less intuitive/widely documented than how to make your device's screen appear.
A bit of aside admittedly but not knowing much about Molyneux I checked to see his credentials as a 'white supremacist'.

Perhaps I should I have just relied on what Twitter and countless parrot sites say about him (try a search on his name). But I didn't.

In https://www.freedomain.com/2020/07/07/what-i-believe-stefan-... I found:

"I do not believe that any race is “superior” or “inferior.”.

"Eugenics is a government program that uses force to control people’s reproductive choices and is utterly immoral."

"Naturally, I oppose all morals and laws that create unjust advantages for either men or women."

and other reasonable statements to which which vast numbers of people would assent.

https://www.freedomain.com/2020/07/07/what-i-believe-stefan-...

Are these the views of a white supremacist? Perhaps he's a secret one for all I know. If so it would be nice if we stopped using gross simplistic labels for people and simply attacked his views head on (if we wish) quoting their actual words and not attributing views to them that they don't appear to hold.
Exactly. As much as I despise Googles practices, who would ever organically visit Facebook when in search of a video?

> maintaining large open source software projects is soul crushingingly, destructively, enormously hard.

Are you making a case in this package that complex open source projects are impossible unless completely controlled by very large, highly opinionated companies? That can be proven wrong by endless examples.

> Did the author join in on the discussion when these changes were made? Did they voice their concerns? Or did they just read about it after-the-fact and say "jeeze, that piece of software I played around with two years ago really took a turn, I'm going to write a post about how evil corporations are."

You don't know this to be true, so why make this accusation? Why not address the argument as it is instead of inventing ad hominems?
I think it is quite unlikely that the Gmail team had anything to do with the search teams decision here. Certainly I wouldn't expect them to be well enough informed about the legalities and the details of the case to be colluding.
I think the takeaway here is that if you don't want a project co-opted by $MEGAHUGECORP, release (or fork) it under GPL 2/3.

"Always" is a strong word. Usually it just means you noticed some things that you dislike [1]. The problem is that we're all far more likely to notice such cases and to weight them more strongly, so before long we've sample-biased ourselves to "always". The other side feels the opposite "always" [2]. Same mechanism in both cases. It always feels like the mods are against you, just as the refs are always against your team and you're always the one who gets the speeding ticket.

I actually ran into this problem in grad school. I was trying to simulate an optical phased array with a target at the moon, it turns out that a single bit of a double is about 1 wavelength of light at the distance of the moon. I ended up doing most of the calculations symbolically and only using floats for the differences in the distances between each beam which was enough to get out of the solar system but not out of the galaxy...
Right, but as I mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23835764 (and last month: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23481049) every process is going to ask this…
Do you not get the feeling of something being wrong? I've only just had this start happening in the last few months and twice now I've known there was someone just outside our door and in the house, and I need so badly to reach my wife to wake her up, but I can't move my hand.

In my experience it's horrible.
React I have been thinking about, having worked with it a lot and also recently done a React / TS / GraphQL (GraphQL may have been the poorest choice I made; time will tell) project.

I think React itself is awesome and I've always enjoyed it. While I'm not an expert, it's conceptual foundations and core abstractions felt right, and I do think it makes lots of frontend tasks simpler, especially for non-small projects.

At the same time the frontend ecosystem is a mess, as we all know, and as my CSS skills advance I see more just how much could be done with HTML / CSS / limited use of JS and your classic REST app, that's not a single-page app, and how much complexity might be able to be avoided and thus time saved.

At the same time, I don't think it's just "trendiness" that has caused the growth of React and SPA's. I think they give us various wins that we probably take for granted because we're now used to them.

So, the short answer to my long ramble is, I don't know.

But I do think React itself, specifically, hit a sweet spot in terms of being a powerful yet understandable tool, and still remaining a tool, as opposed to a framework.
He's aware of the old API, but believes it will be killed soon. From the article:

> 95% of these sites are conservative-leaning. That's the story here

No. The story there is that hyperpartisan sites are masquerading as local news. That they're mostly from a few conservative companies should be prominently said, but to claim that they're only conservative is obviously incorrect and misleading.

I believe the GP just hadn't read the complete article but merely skimmed, saw five conservative companies and understood "it's all conservative sites".
This seems a bit one-sided. As the opening paragraph of the article says, there are very good reasons for not just complying with every request:

“The right to be forgotten must strike the correct balance between, on the one hand, the public’s right of access to information and, on the other hand, the rights and interests of the data subject,” said Hielke Hijmans, Director of the DPA’s Litigation Chamber.

Obviously, in this case, Google was wrong.
> I don't know how your Google Voice example (which is an application/service) applies to cloud infrastructure

I tried to explain the concept above, but it's that whether it's an application/service or cloud platform, it's tooling has to be designed for the entire customer base. Often, a far stupider solution can be far more effective, if it only has to be written to apply to one use case.

> such confidence

Don't get me wrong: Nobody's perfect and everyone has security holes. But things like all of the public S3 bucket fiascos should remind you that the cloud is, by default, open to everyone, and people become incredibly overconfident that Amazon or Google or Microsoft will keep them safe.

> If it turns out the equation favors you

It almost always does. When I do something in house, I am paying for hardware, software, and engineers. When I do something on the cloud, I am paying for hardware I don't own, software I don't own, engineers who work for someone else, and a healthy profit margin for one of the five most valuable companies on the planet.

Cloud is a narrowly-effective solution for startups which can't size out their solution themselves fast enough, and short-time peak loads. For everything else, you should probably not cloud.
I did say that he was popular in my post? That's not really the point of the debate. Of course the NYT is a niche market in the sense that only a minority of people actually pay for news. Fox and talk radio probably have 20 times as many viewers/listeners, that's always been the case.

But that doesn't say anything about what the NYT has become. They have a larger audience now than they had in the past, and their status isn't just a function of size of viewership.

Pewdiepie has a hundred million subscribers or whatever, does he dwarf the New York times in terms of influence in social or political life? No. The fact that there's a new entertainment personality in mass media doesn't say anything about the state of journalism.
It would be nice if the root cause was solved. Until that happens I just put a bit of black electrical tape on annoying indicators. Especially on my notebook with OLED screen, which emits next to no light when in terminal/dark mode, the power indicator (white LED) was incredibly bright and quite distracting.
I spent a lot of time writing a reply and eventually deleted it. It's not clear from your original post to which I replied that you're being descriptive, not prescriptive, that by pushing the issue of dragging out TikTok's propaganda machine that it opens the door to dragging out Facebook.

It's really hard to tell that you meant, "the public perception of Facebook is..." (that it's not in the business of influencing politics).
I think if you have the means, you should always get a custom domain for your email address. Your email address is the key to your online identity. You should own it, and not lease it from someone else.

And it is not like you have to manage your own email servers. You can use services like fastmail or any number of email providers to receive email on your own domain. You also have the ability to change your implementation without changing your address. You can decide to host it yourself, or go to another provider without having to tell all your contacts that you are changing your email.

It becomes trivial to actually give out email addresses that are customized for the service. Instead of me+service@hotmail.com you can give out service@mydomain.com.

In my opinion, the money you spend for your own domain for email, is well worth it.

> I wondered when I can buy a AMD workstation with official ECC support, looks like that will finally be possible in September. Hope the price will be OK.

You don't have to wait. The current Ryzen 3000 series processors support ECC.

ASUS, ASRock, and Gigabyte have several Ryzen 3000 motherboard options that support ECC RAM. Example: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Pro-WS-X570-ACE/
I use the Tufte-CSS underlining on gwern.net and noted the recent announcements, which I thought would simplify the CSS nicely.

But the support is still less than the 95% or so of users that most people try to support, and there are still glitches and bugs with them. Given that you'll have issues with the new skip-ink stuff and probably will have to include fallbacks, why bother with the churn? Maybe in another few years...
You'll have all the data to fact check whether or not they're doing this, too. We all do on a receipt.

That's a bit misleading. Musk was a part of Tesla from day 1 and provided most of the funding. He served as Chairman since 2004.

When he took over in 2008, Tesla had just started producing the first roadster, which was really just a conversion kit for a lotus. After musk became CEO, Tesla became the world's most valuable car company...
IMHO there's no reason for hardware support for floats beyond 64 bit.

If 64 bit IEEE-754 floating point numbers do not support your needs, adding more bits will almost certainly not fix the problem. The problem isn't lack of bits, it's going to be something fundamental about the nature of IEEE-754. You'll probably need something like a rational data type, or a symbolic algebra system that can abstractly represent everything that shows up in your domain without losing any precision. Generally you'll be required to do this in software.

32 bit is the sweet spot between precision and performance. There are only a handful of things that require 64 bits, (notably latitude and longitude) but these things are common enough that hardware support is (IMO) valuable.

Not a Musk fan by any stretch but that's unfair to Musk. He does deliver, albeit too late and overhyped. He also has a tendency to shoot his mouth off and doesn't know how to deal with dissent. But Trump is an outright fraud and that's several levels removed from where Musk sits, arguably Musk has done more in two decades than Trump has managed to achieve in his entire life.

Draw your own conclusions, but please read past the summary.
Well, I'm gonna disagree. Let's quote wikipedia:

> An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilot does not replace human operators. Instead, autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems).

This is 100% exactly what Tesla is selling. Instead of constant manual control you focus on the broader operations of your car.

Even the colloquial use of "autopilot" makes it clear that being on autopilot means you're not paying very much attention: https://learnersdictionary.com/qa/what-does-on-autopilot-mea...

Your car being on autopilot very much implies you still have to pay attention.
