For me it was more like watching nature documentaries, morbid curiosity and all that. There wasn't really anything I'd consider snuff on that subreddit, it was natural death, murder, and accidents, all of which are part of natural life.

I found most of the videos less offensive than extremely graphic horror movies, which ironically I have less stomach for. If anything that subreddit made me generally more aware of my surroundings and safer in my daily life.
I see a couple of new bsd jail tools: Bastille, iocage, CBSD and pot. I still love ezjail. What simple tool is idiot proof and used at large? I love the concept of Bastille , what is the main advantage of Pot?
> Imagine not understanding that there may be some disagreement about whether something 'considered objectionable or offensive' is truly objectionable or offensive

And this is really the crux of the issue. If I find what you have done to be objectionable or offensive, it shouldn't matter that there is debate about what society at large considers objectionable or offensive, you have lost my personal support. If lots of people also consider it objectionable or offensive, and they all subsequently withdraw their support, that's how things are supposed to work. You don't get to decide what other people get offended by, nor do you get to decide how long it should take them to get offended by it. If my support is valuable to you then you shouldn't do those things which I say offend me for fear of losing my support. If you don't value my support, then you are free to ignore my cancelling of said support. This is what it means to live in a free market of ideas.

Let's not pretend that this issue is some complicated and nuanced situation. There have always been weirdos out there who get vocally offended by dumb things - maybe you pissed off a bunch of flat earthers by having a globe in your profile pic - and nobody cared. The reason people are concerned about cancel culture is that they recognize that some of the things they have said or done or plan to do could legitimately be considered objectionable and offensive by a significant number of people, and rather than choosing to address their own behavior they instead choose whine about how unfair it is that people don't unconditionally support them.

I'd consider volunteering to moderate a particular geographical area, when I was a student Facebook constantly took down the student confessions page I eventually ended up helping to run for the vaguest reasons, while letting actual hate posters run amok. I know I would say that, but we would genuinely get taken down for jokes that wouldn't even make sense out of the tiny university I attended. It was immensely frustrating having to build up the userbase again and again because the moderators of Facebook just weren't/aren't terribly good at their jobs. I'd happily have taken on actual moderation duties rather than had to constantly appeal and get a blank, inhuman "declined" message.

I think they tend to take an "if in doubt, remove it" approach which basically allows anyone who doesn't like a niche page for whatever reason to have it taken down through sheer attrition, if you report it enough it'll probably go down eventually even for stupid reasons. I actually ended up writing an app to cut Facebook out of our system altogether (it was kind of similar to Yik Yak with a much better moderation system and better anonymity protection - I really can't be arsed to deal with a GDPR lawsuit...) but we couldn't launch it in part because it took me ages to develop as I've since graduated and work as a full-time developer and because coronavirus meant our launch event got cancelled. I might take it live when students go back this year, but I'm concerned that with nothing much going on it'll fizzle and die because there's nothing interesting to post about. It'll all depend on how the Welsh government lift the coronavirus restrictions.
This is totally not what you are talking about, but the closest thing I have seen to that is the Netflix docuseries Don't Fuck With Cats. It hits on a lot of the same topics. The primary differences are that the hunters are Facebook users and not moderators and they are hunting the person to get justice and not violent revenge.
Of course, few have that luxury. When drawing comparisons, it's important to not have false equivalence.

For #2, again, any specific advice? Are blogs still a profitable thing? What platform do you use to buy/sell blogs and/or plugins?

For #3, yeah already working on that one. Pandemic doesn't help with that.

The author didn't say anything about "interesting" vs. "boring" companies or ideas. He said YC should curtail funding of dev tools/SaaS startups, because the traction they appear to have is misleading. They're selling to each other, revenue moving in a circle, without demonstrating value creation outside of the sphere of similarly-situated startups. Not explicitly stated, but he's also implying it's a portfolio risk for YC.
I think the impact size of that effect is likely to be very, very small. The whole thread reeks of gatekeeping around (as someone in another comment put it) what it means to be "Real Founder."
> Two decades ago, computers performed addition much faster than multiplication. The speed gap between multiplication and addition has narrowed considerably over the past 20 years to the point where multiplication can be even faster than addition in some chip architectures. With some hardware, “you could actually do addition faster by telling the computer to do a multiplication problem, which is just insane,” Harvey said.

Is this true for popular architectures such as Intel and ARM?
I can't even barely read this article before becoming extremely sad for these people and the individuals (especially children) who were abused in these videos. I hope everyone involve gets the healing they need.

It's not the flat-earther and somesuch conspirary communities that worry me. It's the people who share and get enjoyment from this kind of content, and the networks which enable it.

> Cancel culture are witch hunts organized
> over social media.

I can't take the teeth-gnashing over the "culture" aspect of "cancel culture" seriously, though plenty of people I respect do (eg: Yascha Mounk, Matt Taibbi, Noam Chomsky).

The actual problem is social media, much more than culture. Social media flattens all the world's events, without regard to their relevance. Does it alarm me if a professor or police officer loses their job because they say the "wrong" thing? You know, not really, in the vast majority of cases. And I'm glad that such a culture results in, for example, Twitter "mobs" reliably doxxing right-wing extremists.

Where I see an actual problem is in the scope. There's a difference between someone losing their job over an isolated incident of poor judgement, and someone losing their job and being hounded by outraged people from all corners of the globe, and gaining a life-long bad reputation.

On an ideally-designed internet, "cancel culture" would exist, but not be a problem, because its reach would scale according to the behaviour, and the importance of the person. Some random person in a tiny town does not merit as much scrutiny as an elected official, but currently, they may get it anyhow. The problem is the design of social media.
They glossed over some really big considerations. First, you have to be really self motivated to accomplish this. I don’t know too many 18 year olds that would push themselves enough to get as much out of a purely online program as compared to an in person program. Second, a DIY degree is not a “real” degree and will be looked down upon by many employers. That’s not to say that you won’t learn as much in a DIY program (if you are self motivated), but you’re going to restrict your job prospects.

I do agree with the idea that you might as well try it now. I wouldn’t recommend someone pay full tuition for an online class that was created in a hurry by a professor that didn’t want to do an online class. But you have to be prepared for the idea that you won’t like a DIY degree and will end up starting a regular degree next year. If you’re smart about it, you’ll make sure the classes you take note can transfer the credits- these types of courses are more expensive (hurting some of the DIY value proposition) but it’s a good insurance policy against having to start at square one next year.
Yeah, monopolies can do that.

You can say the same thing about any single lower undergraduate subject.
Yeah, it's debatable.

Should every proof in the book be based on simple theorems or it's ok to have a "best proof" on advanced proofs.

(That is, assuming that the book is built on the current understanding of mathematics and not some other very different set of axioms)

But I'm afraid if I start talking about it too much we'll end in a confusion of Russel's paradox analogues trying to prove there are infinite possible books for the infinite possible sets of axioms describing math.
> Plenty of documentation out there on how lego selects a theme / item, designs, plans production, and releases a product. It passed theses rigors, but not the "mob".

Again, the same can be said about recalled products as well - years of development and planning and even post-production QA, yet f-ups happen all the time.
I think OP was referring to practicing for silly leetcode style interviews that FAANG companies are known for with the ultimate goal of getting a position at a FAANG (or in that ballpark) company and seeing your TC (I assume total compensation) double.

When Amazon was teasing numerous cities for their HQ2 I researched the stock options and if you can weather the rat race of working there for a few years, they would be a legit slice of the pie. Probably why OP was referring to total compensation, your take home pay might be about the same but the stock would surpass that when it vests, assuming it doesn't tank.

In the article they say that these planets are young and hot and they detected them in infrared by blocking light from the host star using special device. We would easily detect such super-massive hot planet at 300 AU in the solar system, but there is no reason for them to exist here since solar system is much older.

I think the article and headline are fine for HN. I clicked on it and read it and am not sorry I did. I read the Amazon and Ebay comment to mean just that! There are no other juggernaut e-commerce sites that have dominated the market, not that there are NO other e-commerce sites.

I find that Facebook has managed to fill the void without explicitly being an e-commerce site interesting.
Nitpick—I wouldn't say it's a huge surprise, since they said last year they planned to do this.

I was actually wondering what was taking so long.
The SAAS thing is real. In my own broader network, I've seen so many interesting new consumer companies not even get an interview but SAAS companies of all stripes not have a problem getting an interview. It also heavily correlates with FAANG/Stanford phenomena which then leads to a mostly white male batch.

There are so many reasons why all this is, including the fact, these applications heavily bias towards 'solving a big problem that the interviewer CAN grep', and so many of those readers and interviewers are themselves from SAAS backgrounds.

Anecdotally, within female founders, it is quite understood that if you are a female founder with a consumer startup, good luck getting an interview whereas if you are FANG employee with event hint of an idea, you get an interview!

I am pretty much as high up in my company as I can be without being an owner. We don't use these terms, but effectively I am occupying the role of the CTO.

With the current pandemic I am doing very little going out. That doesn't mean my expenses are better off though. I am directly supporting two kids and my life partner who works but her career is very low paying. She takes care of most of her expenses but housing is on me. I indirectly support two other people because I care about them and their well being. I am stuck living where I am because I am divorced and my ex won't move. If I move I don't get to see my children, which isn't an option for me.
Some schools offer non-degrees and/or the ability to audit a class. I can apply to be a non-degree student at the local college. Then audit a class for free (no credit/grades). The scope of auditing depends on the professor, I've had some that will grade coursework for non-degree students, others just let them into the lectures. Total cost would be like $25 + books.

Ramen profitable does not mean the company isn't worth a billion dollars. People aren't suggesting that your endgoal is to be ramen profitable - the mindset is to get ramen profitable as fast as possible so you have a foundation to build a billion dollar business. Venture capital does not have use for companies that make $5k a month. That doesn't mean it's a bad company, but I suggest taking another look at the PG essay about black swan farming to understand what they are looking for as venture capitalists. For $5k a month MRR, I think that's really only able to be funded via bootstrapping and friends/family if you're privileged enough to have access to the latter.

My question is:

Are those courses actually available in MOOCs? Is the feedback sufficient from the MOOCs for the more technically difficult courses?

I cannot imagine taking, for the first time, a course like CS Theory, but maybe a follow-on course, as a MOOC. So much of what we learned was because of feedback during the semester and tailoring to our level by the professor. If you're talking about an online course with 20-40 participants in a cohort with a dedicated instructor/professor, then it could've worked online. But most MOOCs are not set up that way (from what I've participated in).

On top of that, lacking discipline, I can't imagine anyone in that class but 3 of us choosing to take it voluntarily if alternatives had been provided.
Judgement: A managerial quality that is hard to define but important to possess
https://archive.vn/XdhlV
It's easy to skip a lot of fundamental classes and classes which are less interesting. Lots of people would skip "Boring" topics like data structures and databases and focus primarily on just piling into learning Swift or Kotlin to build apps on the platform of their choice.

Math is another biggie I think a lot of people would skip. While I'm not quite sure everyone needs 3 semesters of calculus to be an effective programmer, I think it is helpful to understand at least the basics of calculus and trigonometry.

There are also a lot of aspects of formal schooling that help you prepare for work/ life later on. If you see a degree on someone's resume, you know they've done a least a little bit of collaborative work and building an app to someone else's specs.
Balance is important. This is why I'm not willing to sacrifice my family, but I am willing to work differently or in a different field. I am old enough to know what balance feels like to me and am always looking to make sure it's maintained.

I can understand the relationship between the two is what makes the difference. But the framework and the tools must as well.

Given the same level of trust, empathy, communication, etc, one form of therapy should give different results than other. They can't all be equal.

Unless ofc none of them do anything. I can find no other possible explaination.
I'd argue that this is less true for the specific field in question (computer science). Most companies looking to hire a developer aren't looking for a jack-of-all-trades hacker, they're looking for someone with a specific skillset, and in my experience it's not very hard for one good developer to recognize another good developer, especially with the way most CS interviews are conducted: problem solving, whiteboarding code, mock design sessions, etc. If you're a developer and you can't satisfy yourself that another developer being interviewed has the skills you need, you need to work on your interview questions.

That being said, it's almost certainly easier to land an interview in the first place with a good degree. I'm in Atlanta, and every company I've worked for here has almost automatically granted an interview to anyone with a degree from Georgia Tech.
In my opinion this is an argument in favour of shutting Facebook (and every other large social network) down. This sort of work is damaging and abusive, and nobody should have to endure it just so we can have social networks.

I understand there are some jobs in the world that need to deal with dark stuff (like law enforcement), but social networks just aren’t worth the human cost.

Having fostered children as young as 15 months, I think it's patently absurd to claim that the relationship with early caregivers matters not at all.

The effects of abuse and neglect are so large, and so hard to change after age 3 or so, that you really don't need a big sample size to see it.

It's entirely possible that the threshold at which nurture no longer matters is so low that most parents are far above the bar, but I guarantee you if you did an experiment where you spanked a 6 month old every time they cried, or left a 14 month old in a car with a box of cereal and a sippy cup alone for 12 hours every weekend, you would measure some long-term affects quite easily.
I took a class in Library Science. It didn't change my outlook on anything. It only confirmed my belief in the wastefulness of certain general ed requirements.

I don't think anyone is arguing that taking MOOCs and taking classes in person are exactly equivalent. I think the argument is that you may be able to get what you wanted by taking the correct online classes and not attending college (which is incredibly expensive).

From my personal experience in academia, both as a student and as a lecturer I honestly think most students don't really benefit from being present in person.

Also, about the inroads to places like FAANG, almost all of those companies require you to go through the entire interview process even if someone recommends you and landing interviews isn't that hard. I actually know plenty of people who self-studied their way into those companies without degrees.

If you do manage to stick to the program and go through everything on your own (which requires an incredible amouunt of discipline) in my opinion the biggest issue you would face right now is bias and stigma.
