There's a tension here, and I'm not saying that I know where the appropriate balance is-- but it's a tension between the positive societal impact that inexpensive and ubiquitous broadband may have, vs. the societal impact of scientific knowledge from ground-based observatories.

I'm sure there's other ways of solving the broadband problem. I'm sure there are other ways of getting the astronomical data. I'm also pretty sure that all of them would have their own trade offs. Everything does.

In this case, I think the unilateral approach that Musk is taking has hurt perception of the project as much as the trade offs represented by the project itself.
Yes but it's missing the fact that you can't actually drain an account even with access. The overall network is designed for rollbacks, but more importantly, they're internally insured. My money will be put back if someone inside steals it (outside is completely different).

With twitter, the damage is not practically reversible since it was a bitcoin scam.

The analogy/comparison works to a degree, but misses some key differences as to why this is actually worse with twitter than a bank.
> This is bonkers. The attribution is still there, you just have click it

This means, almost by definition, that the most viewed versions of these photos on twitter, probably by a very high margin, have no attribution.

Why is this bonkers? The right to attribution is clear, and it’s not your place to judge whether or not the artist should be exercising it.

The latter question comes down to how feasible it is for a person tweeting to know how their tweets are going to look on the main timeline w/regard to attribution, which seems like something it’s reasonable for a court to decide.
Agree with you that we should be gentler on people when they are just introducing ideas to the world. I disagree that this is not HN's culture. Example, read the dropbox launch thread, among many others. Usually when I come to HN I expect the top comment to be some pseudo-intellectual takedown of someone else's hard work.

Well, now we know why Apple initiated the move to ARM this year. They must have known about this for quite some time and Intel probably shared this new timeline with them. Apple's ARM will on on 3/5nm nodes when Intel hits 7nm.
> OCD is not adaptive in any situation.

I don't believe this first claim is true and from my understanding the second isn't supported by current evolutionary thought. Could you explain more about why you believe these syndromes are never appropriate responses?

I can offer my own anecdotes that OCD gives me a competitive advantage in many aspects of life despite its drawbacks. But I'd like to hear more of your thoughts.

Edited: for clarity.

The OP mentioned they work 4-5 hours a day and are distracted the other 3-4 when at work (in the office).

I was saying during those 3-4 hours you have multiple side conversations (on company time) that it makes sense to the company to encourage. Not just cuz co-workers who get along have a better work environment, but that it makes a more interconnected environment.

Did you see in that article that the head of cyber security for AT&T added his two cents in shaming Twitter?

AT&T was just in the news recently where employees were accepting bribes that allowed criminals to swap SIMs steal bitcoins from AT&T customers.

Unbelievable.
I think the argument is that someone merely hosting something horrible on YouTube isn't really a problem if no one can find it? YouTube could still exist without Section 230, and it would work "great": it wouldn't have any "recommendation" or "discovery" algorithms--which we all know have been shown to actively drag people into extreme positions, and are of a class of systems that optimize for "engagement", which isn't even a healthy thing for a user to have--and would feel more like Instagram (without the discover page that doesn't work well anyway, and without the new recommended feed that maybe you like but a lot of us despise), where if you know about someone you follow them and you can see what the people you follow posted and you can get notifications when those person post new videos and if you dislike them you unfollow them... what sucks about all of these systems right now is someone posts something horrible and you then that content is actively pushed at people all while YouTube is making a profit, and then they can choose how quickly they want to respond to different kinds of moderation, and the whole thing is a bit evil :(.

The first chapter of The Death and Life of Great American Cities touches on this topic a lot.

That just won’t work. Just target the attack in the middle of the night or lunch hour.

Furthermore, the next attack will probably be automated and be against far, far more accounts.
their 'automation' of support, from my experience, is actually basic idiocy -not a plot. it's actual people thinking they just need to make their 'ai' better. not understanding that a huge switch statement is not an ai. it's hipster trash writing code.

i ordered a pixel2xl for over $1k. week later, days after promised arrival, status unknown on fedex tracking#. called fedex -they have no idea where the package is. no way to reach google on their webpage where i bought the phone. after a couple of days, i started a chat with play store support, asked them about the phone. they had no idea, i said refund, now. also, order is cancelled -i refuse delivery if you find the lost shipment. 'ok.'

a week later the phone shows up. i have my refund. i said come to my door, pick up the package. amazon can do it with returns, and mail services offer this. they said 'no -you must bring it to a fedex office and mail it back, or we'll charge you again'

blocked google from my amex, flashed a custom rom, typing this on my free phone now, years later. super fast, only needs charging once a week.

and in my work, i sell solutions that often do failover to cloud. but i don't even offer google cloud to customers. because i care about customers, and google will randomly cause them issues. google has lost literally tens of millions in business. by causing me to dig and find out how shitty and dangerous dealing with them is, which was caused by me getting a free phone, and them threatening to close all my google accounts, and fraudulently charge my card.

google is a bully. an incompetent one. while they make money, they are also missing out on a lot of money, by sheer stupidity. myspace was big too. and yahoo was big too. big because of dumb masses -and dumb masses are driven by emotion and lack of logic. super volatile.

I live in Tokyo, and pretty much every neighborhood has some cafe/izakaya being run from the back of a home by a grandpa or grandma. Usually these places are extremely tiny and can seat max 4 people.

No, according to The Block, @elonmusk repeatedly tweeted the scam at 4:17pm, 5:19pm, and 5:32pm, a span of 90 minutes, and the final scam tweet was at 6:05pm from @KimKardashian.

An hour after @elonmusk's first scam tweet, 7 celebrity or corporate accounts had tweeted the scam, all with the same Bitcoin address. With the two-click system I described, how many compromised admin accounts would you expect the security team to have been able to suspend by then?

8 more celebrity accounts went on to tweet the scam, plus @elonmusk and @kanyewest repeating the scam tweets.

It's weird in our context but there's followable logic there.

Being absurdly protective of the person who did the work is at least erring on the side of protection.

It's not impossible to imagine a world where the internet could have social media platforms with some attempt at media attribution functionality...

...instead we have the wild west where the vast majority of content is shared without acknowledgement, let alone attribution or permission. Even EXIF attribution data is stripped whether you like it or not. You have incredibly successful artists trying to protect their work with watermarks and JS-disabled right-clicks. Seems silly.

To me there is a difference between mislead and deceive. Deceive has a stronger negative intention behind it. Consider someone saying "I was misled" versus "I was deceived".

And conversely I don’t know anyone who didn’t own a PC in 2000. 2000 was the very height of the dotcom boom. The dotcom boom wasn’t fuelled by a tiny upper middle class - it was about everyone suddenly being online.

Even if the rent was subsidized or more likely rent-controlled -- you still have to pay those four employees enough to live in commute range. That forces the margins you have to charge for computer repairs to shot up to a level that would make the Geek Squad blush.
As other commenters I'm reminded of the classic RIM roadrunner effect - the decapitated chicken that keeps running.

Another thought though: is it completely unthinkable for Intel to pull an AMD themselves and spin out their fabs and rely on whoever has the best fabs out there? I mean - if they are years late with something that is already outdated there are not too many downsides to it.. Next-gen process nodes are now so delayed that they might as well use the time until then to retarget their designs for TSMC/Samsung.

> It's obvious that with Symmetrical Encryption AWS obviously needs to know the other end of the key at some point so that it can decrypt the data.

Its worth noting that even symmetric keys dont imply direct access to the secret itself. You can instead use the highly controlled secret material to derive less sensitive material. For example a hash derived from a known input + the secret. A third party can use this to prove that two other parties both have/had access to the shared secret. But the third party never needs to access the secret itself.

Theres a great example of this in the chained hashes that make up an AWS sigv4 API request signature. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/sigv4-calculat...

Disclaimer that I really know nothing about these kinds of deals.

I understand that has historically been the case, but AMD is in a pretty good negotiating position right now, being effectively the only company that can provide what they bring to the table.

* a SoC with integrated CPU and GPU

* with high performance and decent power consumption

* and great synergy with the desktop x86 platform, in terms of developer knowledge, available tooling, and ISA compatibility with older games

I wouldn't be surprised if AMD is making a decent
respectable margin this time around. And if not, what they most certainly did get, was a bunch of free R&D money for developing ray-tracing technology for the consoles, which they can now leverage through their entire portfolio.

You argued:

that white supremacy should be the dominant principle for
governmental rule.

I was pointing out that in order for A to happen, B must happen as well -- but in a rhetorical way to deeply undermine your argument. I assure you, it was completely in good faith. You probably just didn't like the result of it.

If they did a better job of making sure you got a chance to see the city instead of the inside of a hotel, a taxi, a convention center, and office, then I think it would be different.

My coworker got sent to 'back home' to do an install for a big customer. He was planning to take an extra week to see extended family, and he asked if he should take it before or after the install. I pushed him to do it before, but he opted for after.

He spent two weeks sitting in a server room trying to sort out problems and barely saw any family. If he had seen them first, we would have extended his stay to get the customer sorted out.
