I've noticed a trend lately where items will "ship from the US" with an estimated 2-3 day delivery date only to be delayed at the sender, eventually "ship" a month later, and arrive with international postage a few days afterward. I'd love to filter that kind of crap out as well, but I'm not sure how Amazon could go about actually implementing it.
"Trying to forcibly deplatform an widely held opinion doesn't work and may need to it's resurgence" is another fact that people unfortunately do not understand.

If you want to deplatform anti-abortion people, you need to show to them that their understanding of when a cell becomes a human is wrong. The only way to do that is to have widely used technology of growing a baby from any cell artificially, and for that we need to remove the 14 day limit on embryo exexperimentation.

So basic, how does YC let these companies in.
What I did not find from your post is in what manner are the data accessed. Is it at all publicly available? Is it metadata e.g. usage/billing? or is it production content like S3/lambda code/EC2 storage? It would be very helpful if you can clarify what kind of access it is.
Your response can be defeated by tweaking their statement, for charitable interpretation, into this: "Without profit, people couldn't have created [most of] those things in the first place [that people want the most]."

It's not the free, hobby stuff that's giving IA trouble. And if you look at what people are consuming the most (games, books, movies, tv shows), they obviously prefer the content made by people trying to make a living, not the free-time hobby projects. The biggest games on Twitch are League of Legends and Fortnite, not The Battle of Wesnoth.

Pointing out that people will make some content for fun doesn't really mean much because a world where we depend on hobby/passion projects is obviously not the optimum. I want someone to profit by making the exact content that I want.
There is absolutely room in the middle for compromise. We are not the extremes put forth by the news agencies, but shades of grey.

Perhaps more bluntly, are you yourself a Nazi, a Communist, or happy with where the US is politically? If you're none of the above (as you likely aren't), then you must be able to see that moderate views can still be left or right-leaning.

Maybe the kindest reading of your comment is that the average person that's overly critical on Facebook only sees in black and white, left vs right. And if so, we completely agree :)
>No. Not only did I not say that, there's no reasonable way to infer that from my comment, and your doing so demonstrates an unwillingness on your part to argue in good faith.

It's quite straightforward to draw this conclusion from the following portion of your previous comment:

>Unfortunately, in your world, the racists and white supremacists take over

How does a community 'take over' without expanding to at least a dominant minority? And how does the point being argued, allowing them to speak freely, enable that unless we're to assume that simply being exposed to that worldview will grow their ranks?

I have a CSS book from that time, one I kept too long because I felt it was one of the better CSS books in its time and hasn't been replaced as I keep a certain amount of books for decorative purposes and haven't bought new development books in a while.

The final chapter, in a "putting it all together" style spent most of its time om a holy grail layout.

If I was writing a modern CSS book, this topic would be somewhere in the second quarter in a chapter on grid and flexbox.

>> Is there some special right for a photographer in Japan to have their name shown on an image, that determines whether a reproduction of it is an infringement? As far as I know, you acknowledge the service will transform your work as part of the ToS for uploading an image to it.

It was not the photographer who originally tweeted it. At first I thought the original tweeter was the one at fault, but if it was OK to tweet it with the attribution in the image then it was after that when the violation occurred.
> Just what have they done with all that star wars budget if they were lofting flowers in muzzles?

Failing to produce much of use, mostly. It's hardly the first unproductive R&D program in our history.

That said, there were absolutely weapons tests as part of SDI; they were just ground-to-space (and eventually turned into the current ABM programs). There were also space-based sensor systems - radars etc. There's no evidence I'm aware of of any US space-to-space weaponry having made it into actual testing.
Thanks! That's really helpful context.

Lisp + immutability is the right foundation for symbolic/logic programming, datalog, declarative programming, graph programming. None of this is really feasible in other langs due to bad ergonomics and no coordinated ecosystem buyin. Haskell lacks platform portability and Scala 2 is just too complicated to think clearly about anything high level.
I think it's an older issue. Before it was sold, GEDmatch was ran by several part-time developers. It was running some old PHP 5 version the last time I checked. In general I advise to be very sceptical of amateur-ran genealogy sites - I know of at least 3 search engines with obvious SQL injection issues (which allow me to run better queries, but still). All of the major commercial sites had some sort of leaks as well (I'm not sure about FamilySearch).
I would argue most people in a organization actually are fungible, especially the more junior they are. At least in software.

It's not a coincidence that conversations around the number of engineers/designers required for a project commonly end up referring to them as 'resources' in most companies.

Since algorithm interviews are the current norm for filtering, there are a huge swathes of people who are just as good at beating such interviews but never got the chance due to their location.

That’s basically how Treasuries are auctioned. The problem for an individual company is I might be interested to IPO only under certain terms and be willing to pay a middleman to arrange that for the certainty. (The Treasury auction isn’t likely to move much and when it does, well, that’s the price-the government needs the cash to run; that’s not quite the same as a company who has other possibly viable options, including waiting.)

> It's like saying to a cancer patient that he shouldn't worry about having cancer because in the future you believe there will be wonder drugs that fix everything.

Is the field of astronomy facing death because of Starlink? That seems a bit excessive.

I would say it's more like a national healthcare system covering only poor quality glasses for vision for a decade while they pump money into research and training for laser corrective surgery to both reduce the downsides and make it much more affordable, in preparation for covering laser reconstructive surgery at the end of that period.

> I already have a ton of money invested in earth telescopes. What good does it do me if you argue that in the future I might gain some capabilities if I scrap everything and buy a whole new infrastructure?

Again, telescopes aren't scrapping everything, astronomers aren't going to disappear. They're at most some percentage less useful than they thought they would be prior to this. That sucks, but homeowners have complained about other people moving in and obstructing their perfect view for a long time, so it's not entirely new. I don't support Starlink because I think SpaceX has some right over astronomers, but because I think humanity as a whole benefits from more industry in space, and there's a solution for astronomy on the other side of this, and I don't want humanity held back because astronomers feel it infringes on a domain with a problem they've generally not had to worry about (even if they would probably argue that they are doing it for the benefit of humanity by providing knowledge).

Bottom line, I think the benefit to humanity from increased space industry is greater than the benefit unhampered astronomy provides in a case where we impede that industry.

> Why don't they structure IPOs as an auction, such that the initial sale is at the market price.

Why do you think this would work? Google IPOed with a dutch auction, and went on to pop 30% in the first 2 days.

An auction allows you to find a market-clearing price, but does not allow the information-exchange to do proper price discovery, so it doesn't solve the problem. The IPO pop is typically explained as the reward for taking the risk of buying an unpriced asset.
I've been thinking about this "not lost - just stagnant" thing the last week, unfortunately, I don't think it's actually true. You are always losing or gaining depending on what you are comparing to. If the economy is measured by the market, then it costs you more to get in later, it's effectively the same as losing.

Sure, you may not be losing on purchasing power of staple goods, but on almost any scale where an investment is valuable, you are losing, unless you can get in at the net crash. Just a different perspective.
And how about that black hole photo from last year? Definitely a hoax--black holes are supposed to be black, dummies!

This is correct. I agree with many of the commentators below - I could have been clearer.

> Or are you suggesting that they should have known they were going to be kicked out and destroyed everything in preporation?

That's precisely what I'm trying to say. A campfire is certainly the fastest way to get the job done. It's just a very open public acknowledgement that you have stuff to burn. Every embassy or consulate on foreign soil has plenty of documents that are very confidential. Not all is criminal by any means. There is plenty of supporting material and analysis of economic concerns that are treated very confidential.

They're trying something. If you don't like it, give constructive criticism, but this hostility is unhelpful and unwelcome.

>Why is it a Samsung device?

I worked on a startup which was a video chat project similar to this with a different target. We also used an existing hardware device. Why? Because tech support is hard, and tech supporting hundreds of different combinations of people's hardware is a project itself. We bought tablets, loaded our app onto them, and that was our hardware device. Yeah, we wanted to make our own device eventually, but we weren't at the point of sending a team to China to do it yet, and that's what it would have taken.

Stop this. This is not HN's culture. If you want to offer constructive criticism, then fine. If you want to be a jerk to somebody about their product then go somewhere else. If you are thinking you want to make an alt account to be a jerk to somebody about their product, then go somewhere else even faster.
I don't know what platform you had in mind, but this isn't generally true for Linux. No part of a Linux executable is in memory except the page containing the main entry point, initially. You'd have to pre-fault the sections of interest and protect them with mlock to make sure they stay in memory. If you don't their cached pages may be dropped, which is essentially the same thing as swapping.

In short, these embedded assets are no more likely to be in memory than any other file-backed data. If you want to guarantee they are in memory, it is up to you to make that happen.
> The real story here is Twitter's lack of spear-phishing training for their support staff, not support employees have access to support tools.

Spear-phishing by its very definition is a highly targeted attack. I wouldn't count on any level of training to prevent someone from getting phished. Given some of the spear phishing campaigns I've seen, I wouldn't trust even myself not to fall for them.

It's a problem that needs to be solved with technical solutions like hardware U2F, locked-down customer support devices (e.g. Chrome enterprise policy managed ChromeOS devices), and special account VIP/anomaly locking and auto-escalation.

The article didn’t deliver for me. As another commenter mentioned, there were so few books listed that the article is almost not worth reading. I expect follow-up articles to be similarly vacuous.

And the author seemed to want to focus on forgotten books written by women and Blacks. Ok, that’s fine, but that doesn’t necessarily make them good books. How about focusing on forgotten books that were popular in their day regardless of the author’s race or gender? (Which may and may not include women and Blacks but also Jews, LGBTQ, and even Whites in no particular marginalized group).

I'm also not an expert: based only on my reading of Wikipedia, you are correct and it is bonkers from a US perspective.

The photographer may be in breach of Twitter's ToS for enforcing their moral rights, but that would not _stop_ them from enforcing their rights. In this case, the initial post to twitter was not from the photographer, but someone else. So Twitter likely has nothing to hold against the photographer.

When I visited Japan, I went to an izakaya with room for maybe 9 people in it, it was smaller than my living room at home. I was hungry and I saw the sign lighting the alley about 40 yards off the main road. I was thinking at the time, if I lived in that area, you bet I'd be there a couple times a week to talk to my neighbors. I wanted to ask those inside if they were all neighbors, because they seemed to know each other and the barman well. It felt almost intimidating, since I don't know any Japanese, but of course Japanese hospitality is top-notch.
I hear that you can use Python from Julia and vice versa. You could technically get started immediately and strangle the python away.
No, not by virtue of them being some of the richest people in the world. A million people could all pitch in $5,000 and form a satellite internet company if they wanted, and it would play by the same exact rules that spacex/bezos/whoever is currently out there.

Who would you suggest gets paid for putting satellites up? Who does American Airlines, or the random dude in the Cessna pay in order to fly over my house?

And yes, they can profit, just like telecom and other companies that use satellites do.

It's not comparable to COVID-19 and it's not comparable to the other concerns he listed, and for someone so deeply rooted in moral and ethical philosophy as C.S. Lewis I'm surprised.

Not the most convincing conjecture when the "loser" in your comparison is one of the biggest music genre-creating powerhouses in the world and its music is rife with sampling, and the "winner" in your comparison is mainly known for a single genre of music.
Initially I thought this was an error, because there are other variable fonts on Google Fonts that are displayed with multiple sliders, such as Playfair Display or Work Sans. However, it looks like in each of these cases, the italics are a separate font definition, with only a single variable axis (weight) offered for each. It appears Google Fonts doesn’t currently have a way to deal with multi-axis variable fonts.
I feel like this is just being pedantic. obviously business is nothing without its customers, however it's also nothing without something to sell.
