>I really had a hard time conveying how subversive and groundbreaking Gary Larson and David Letterman were in their time.

I don't know. Knowing French and Italian comic strips from the 70s, but also underground US stuff like the Freak Brothers, Crumb et al, I can hardly imagine Gary Larson being "groundbreaking".

And watching some older US hosts, like Dick Cavett, I find them much better than David Letterman (or anybody there today)

Their goals is to make it sufficiently annoying to take down your information, that most people give up. While at the same time removing it (regardless of the process) for anyone that occupies them too much time - because your individual data isn't valuable enough to waste defending against a take-down.

I suspect a (faux) lawyers letter is easier to get these takedowns processed than the calls/emails that most people try.

I’ve done MBA and been involved in small family business my whole life. I think more relevant than finance or accounting practice are the business fundamentals which I think are different but related. If you want to learn the former there might be good resources in this thread.

To level with the CEOs, I think many CEOs value few things above else: either have a great understanding in relevant specific industry niche like residental construction or copper mining or in specific technology like web applications or weather measurement hardware. Another few things CEOs have to constantly think about are investments, in what and how much to invest to balance optimal risk reward ratio. Third thing is maybe the strategy/business/industry language like SWOT, business model canvas, balace scorecard, revenue, roi, roe, equity, debt, corporate taxes, ebitda, earnings, customer life time value, product lifecycle, growth drivers, organic/nonorganic, acqusitions, divestments...

I don't live in America and Catholic priests are leading the mini movement against lgbt and feminism. And by opposition to feminism I mean stuff like claiming that male should be head of household and keep her in line via yelling and hitting table with fist.

Ops, that was obviously a controversial standpoint. Just to be clear: I’m all for individual rights. But laws need to have predictable consequences and be fairly and equally enforced, and my impression is that the GDPR is not. As an example I’m pretty sure the local court here in Malmö, Sweden has violated my rights under the GDPR. Do you think anybody would give a rats ass if I complained? I highly doubt it...

It can't be too unusual; I've seen this critique shared in forums, to which you've replied, for years.

I've seen developers remark how turned off they got by reading stuff like this on its front page, which is frankly just noise and undermines the goals of a serious project:

> re-frame is lucky enough to enjoy an unfair advantage...When we use Lisp, we get to leverage 50 years of foliated excellence from the very best minds available.

I mean, come on. The very best minds work in many different fields with many different languages. Lisp doesn't own the best minds, and neither does re-frame. The fact that lisp or Fortran or other languages have been around for many decades is kinda irrelevant, and this writing style permeates all the docs.

Maybe useful information, I'm not sure: but I was at DellEMC world in 2017 and they showed off this really cool k8s storage tech. It was called RexRay and was obviously being demo'd with ScaleIO in mind.

However I see that it has multiple backends (including CEPH), might be worth looking into as it seemed very fault tolerant and fast. :)

Every plant is a "carbon remover". "Funnels air into the ground" can describe a potatoe plant. Surely there can be economy in that.
If it becomes a government service, it will instantly become a political target for budget cuts and regulations that will exclude people from getting help.

As an example, I have someone in my extended family that works for one of the state governments for employment services, and from the stories they've told me about how the department has been slashed and burned and forced to work with a skeleton staff, I'm not surprised at all that when the pandemic hit that everyone was having a hell of a time signing up for unemployment or getting the money they're supposed to be getting, and desperately need right now, or even just reaching a live person to talk to.

And of course that just makes the department look badly run, in people's eyes, which makes the average citizen even more likely to allow more money to be cut from them, because they just assume it's well funded already and "they suck at their jobs, what are we even paying their salaries with our tax dollars for? They should be fired!"

Whereas churches have a bit of a shield from that, at least, especially from the GOP in the US, who aggressively and consistently fight against social programs and non-defense government services otherwise, but their voter-base tends to be very religious, so they have an incentive not to hurt churches in any way.
If you try to come up with lots of clever analogies and complex stories, layered with lots of self-congratulatory enthusiasm, some people will get it or like it, many will not.

On the other hand, if you write simply and just get to the point, everyone will benefit. Leave out the editorials and just say what needs to be said so developers can use their time on their code.

You could easily remove 80% of the words in all documentation about re-frame without losing the important content.
The article is not about privacy violations per se, and a single individual quitting Facebook would not help the issue.

The article is attempting to raise awareness of how Facebook’s mode of operation (or its vulnerability to certain kinds of exploitation) can render fair elections impossible.

Notably, it’s written by the same journalist who exposed the scandal around Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, featured heavily in both Trump election campaign and (more importantly, given this is UK media) Brexit campaign.

What is your issue with storage ? It can take M.2 cards.
Briefly, my point is that tax efficient charitable donation schemes can only be said to benefit the donor if you start with the assumption that part of their lifestyle includes the charities getting a certain amount. E.g. if I want the charity to get 1.25k, I only have to spend 1k for that to happen.

The schemes amplify the effects of existing altruism, rather than offering incentives to persuade non-donors to donate.
Depends on the sport.

Regardless, I don't think risk of death should dissuade humanity from doing things as long as the people at risk are aware of it.

> Zuckerberg says Black Lives Matter and yet we know Donald Trump used Facebook’s tools to deliberately suppress [1] and deny black and Latino people the vote. With no consequences.

[1] https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-10-27/inside-th...

> The Trump team’s effort to discourage young women by rolling out Clinton accusers and drive down black turnout in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood with targeted messages about the Clinton Foundation’s controversial operations in Haiti is an odd gambit. Campaigns spend millions on data science to understand their own potential supporters—to whom they’re likely already credible messengers—but here Trump is speaking to his opponent’s. Furthermore, there’s no scientific basis for thinking this ploy will convince these voters to stay home. It could just as easily end up motivating them.

Nowhere in that article is anything about denying black people a vote. Even if Trump did that, that does not negate that Zuckerberg thinks Black Lives Matter.

I am sick and tired of politics and sourness masquerading as bad journalism. Step up the game now, or forever deserve the awful Fake News moniker. The United States needs an impartial factual news media now more than ever. Forget the clicks for a month or three.

Because it's your own problem. Do you think some blue collar worker should be taxed to subsidize your safety or privacy on the internet outside of the EU?

Where i live, secular non-profits has tax excemptions (almost similar to churches) without need to apply for them. While disguised business enterprise may happen, that is something that has to be proven by state. This seems to me reasonable.

So perhaps US should loose the rules for secular non-profits to be on the same level as churches?

How is it a dangerous argument to make? Are you arguing that you should be entitled to exploit the world's natural resources by making your children and children's children's generation pay for it? You can argue that, but it makes you selfish and entitled.
Local jurisdictions within a city should have little to no control over policies in a pandemic like this. Giving them that control rather than operating at a higher level is idiotic. China was relatively successful because they sacrificed the economy of Wuhan early, but acting even sooner could have completely contained the virus and prevented the pandemic.
This is such an insightful post/question. I hope it gains traction and discussion here on HN, Thanks for posting it.

As an open source lurker/consumer I sometimes take a dive in to a projects' bug tracker if something glitches at a reproducible level and some of the tickets I've seen have been appalling.

The sense of entitlement in those has left me slack jawed on more than one occasion.

I've pondered on this a few times when debating whether or not to open source some of the stuff I work on from time to time and the conclusion has been a massive 'Nope'.

Not because I don't want to share for the good of humanity but because of this exact issue.

Criticism I can take (). The open tickets that either DEMAND that something be changed, those that have hit a valid bug (but failed to check the repo for open issues before raising a ticket) and then say that it is costing them $$$$ in downtime and (again) DEMANDING that it be fixed make me weep for the maintainers.

As to what the solution is – I’ve heard (via the grapevine & IRC chats) that receiving an email saying ‘Hi, thanks for making this.’ with a subject line like ‘Thanks dude’ makes a world of difference when having a bad day™.

Yet this is not enough to properly thank those that do Open Source.

Somehow I think that browsing an open source repo and searching for the ‘Help Wanted’ tags is something that all should do if they use an open source program regularly. Not all of it is CODING stuff. Sometimes it is a translation request (no coding skills needed), A request for ‘Does anyone else see this happening? If not will mark as ‘Closed’ etc. Also most will have a metric that maintainers can monitor about how many viewed which pages. Seeing a ‘help wanted’ bug be unviewed for months on end while being confronted with ‘WHY UR PROJECT NOT DO THIS?’ level of tickets is ….. depressing.

Hopefully others here on HN can chip in with what would make them feel valued and appreciated.
My B450 board with Ryzen 2700 has only 4 usable SATA ports (if a M.2 drive is connected, the SATA ports 5 and 6 are disabled) and the 4 disk scrub in FreeNAS is fairly slow compared to the sum of the speed of each drive. Heavy FreeNAS users confirmed many times on the forum that the performance of a dedicated controller is visibly (not only benchmark measurable) better than the onboard SATA. I did not test, personally, just pointed to the FreeNAS forums.

Very happy re-frame user here - I was pleased to see the 1.0 release recently and I like the sound of the new developments.

Personally I do appreciate the amount of conceptual framing (pun intended!) contained in the re-frame docs. It's one thing to know the syntax for, say, declaring a subscription, but it's something else to know what subscriptions are for. For me, Re-frame's value-add is that it provides a bunch of sensible patterns for structuring an app, so this stuff clearly matters more than it would for other libraries.

That said, I think some of the basic elements of how to use re-frame are harder to find than they should be. There's the instant gratification "just show me some code so I know what I'm dealing with here" problem, where I think people just want to see a bit of sample code in order to orient themselves.

Re-frame has a very positive story here, because the API is very concise: you could show registering an event and a subscription, and subscribing and dispatch in the view layer in maybe 15 lines of code. For a new developer, the understanding that the API is mostly just two functions and two macros makes the whole thing look much less intimidating.

The reference docs are also a bit tricky to work with. The generated docs tell you about functions that you will probably never call, and crucially the generated docs don't include built-in effects. I'm sure there is some documentation on how to use `dispatch-n` somewhere, but I'm damned if I can find it and so I normally just read the source code to remind myself.

It's not my privilege talking I don't think. In my country we're down to a few hundred cases per day and I have gone physically back to work since early June, business is looking up again.

That's the wrong trade-off I'm talking about. Yes, the lockdowns and measures hurt both privacy and economics, but not dealing with it hurts people more, both privileged and non-privileged, there are no winners.

Imagine in a country with 300 million people, if covid is not controlled it will cause tens of millions of hospitalizations, heart/lung damages, millions of stroke victims, the damage to liberty and prosperity is immeasurable. In a country like India there will not even be resources to appropriately care for everyone.

I also don't have a strong opinion about the apps in particular, just the general point. In Taiwan they gave everyone phones and manually checked on them every day. Quick, temporary restrictions have already enabled them to go back to normal life.
Yes but they won't like all the second order effects that come with it.

It's really just political gaslighting and has been going on since the Soviet era. Frida Ghitis used just that term to describe the ridiculous denials from Russia when presented with evidence of Russian operatives active in Crimea.

What's worrying to me is that it's by no means unique to Russia, even if they have perfected it. The current president of the United States does not consider himself above using the exact same rhetorical strategy.
My favorite/worst example of language evolution is the word factoid. Factoid literally meant a thing resembling a fact (i.e. a false fact) which is believed to be true after being repeated in print.
