I don't think this is really a sensible interpretation - the clustering is derived by tracking twitter interactions and relationships on twitter. You could do something similar for HN and identify some clusters, although you'll be missing things like 'follows' which twitter makes public and explicit.
obama did vote for TARP as a senator, so it's likely he would have supported it (or a variation) as president.
On Linux, you can turn on the performance counters systemwide and watch instruction counts of various types of instructions tick up, if you want. I don't know how to do this on Windows.

I imagine you could also use any number of disassembly tools to peer at the instructions - looking for xmm/ymm/zmm in the textual output would be the giveaway.
US politics is so fucked

- Fake news is bad

- Government taking out fake news is actually bad??

- But facebook taking out fake news based on its own judgement with absolutely no due process is obviously okay???

Now it becomes a shouting match to get Facebook to ban posts/people they don't like.

Who can harass Facebook employees the most will probably win the shouting match.

Ask HN: Why not give unpaid leaves?
Imagine your life if you could get a month or two, or maybe even 4 months of unpaid leave from the job. It'd be incredible change in your life. You'd be able to LIVE every year. Get taxed less, sure make less, but in exchange live more. I'd always take May to Aug off. Travel, vacation, and play sports. Watch sunsets, camp, connect with family, and experience new cultures.

This would allow me to come back to work REFRESHED!!!. Maybe even have new ideas.

This would be better than paid vacation for companies.

Deep down all entrepreneurs want this, freedom. This is freedom.

Tech salary is high enough if spent conservatively to last few months easily.

Maybe some countries have laws that require employers to give unpaid leave.

Makes for better knowledge sharing as well. No risk of one employee leaving with entire knowledge. 4 months leave would naturally expose others in team to his/her problem space.
Will the WeChat order cause collateral damage to Riot? They are a wholly owned subsidiary of Tencent right?
“Potential” Political bias.

Can we just acknowledge for a moment what it’d be like to have a colleague who’s desperately trying to prove that your work is a “big conspiracy” when you’re honestly all just trying to do your best.

I see so many of these stories of weirdly rogue political activist type employees recently surprised when they their employer doesn’t like that they’re purposely trying to undermine them and their employees work. I’m sure Facebook isn’t perfect, but I know enough good people who work there to know they’re not all out to “get” us.

This smells like sour grapes* from an employee who focused more on their plans to take down their employer than their actual job.

*ed: previously written as “sour apples”...it’s been a long day.
I'm writing this from desktop linux (so I like desktop linux) but the market for linux in servers and other non-desktop uses is much bigger. Yes they target desktop software with Snaps, but also non-desktop software, which is where Snaps started originally as well. This includes being used in commercial products like some Dell networking gear (IIRC), which I imagine is another source of revenue.

Negative only if we're presumptuous enough to think we know better to call it that. Otherwise, your remaining points generally hold.

I haven't used Facebook for at least 5 years now. I use WhatsApp occasionally, so you can in fact, be blocked on Facebook and live. You cannot be blocked from participating in society and be free.
I wouldn't really call this an "exit". They already IPOd back in 2012, and then went private after that.
The sheer hubris of your post is the problem I'm talking about. Banning cars saves lives. Forcing everyone to wear a helmet when walking saves lives. Banning sugar saves lives. The issue is how many lives and at what cost?

I'll wait to see how many millions end up homeless before I say that the lock downs saved lives anywhere where they were implemented.
I wouldn’t feel remotely comfortable using this on an existing project unless it had an iron-clad test suite.
Of course this happens because if Facebook actually nukes pages like Breitbart, right-wingers will claim this is evidence of Facebook's leftist bias. I see this claim on my feed all the time already.

There is nothing Facebook can do that won't cause a riot. But if there's truly no acceptable action for Facebook and similar platforms, maybe the only option in the long-run is for them to cease to exist.
I don't want to use any of that though, I have no interest in it

For what it's worth (admittedly not very much), you can build the release version of Firefox yourself while allowing extension sideloading without even changing any code, it's just the "MOZ_REQUIRE_SIGNING" option.

Taking this together with the recent house hearings and with other material, like AOC's questioning of Zuckerberg, it seems like leftist people (a) are distrustful of the tech giants' business and wealth and don't really believe it's been beneficial; and yet (b) trust them to regulate speech and want them to do so more aggressively. It's not logical.
> This smells like sour apples from an employee who focused more on their plans to take down their employer than their actual job.

The story didn't read as "sour apples" to me but rather an employee pointing out evidence that contradicts the "two strikes" policy Zuckerberg explained at the company Q&A. It's tough to write that off as "Facebook isn't perfect".
I've migrated a production app from mysql to pgsql although not with django but a different orm and language. The app also had some custom sql. The reason was for proper json support as we have a 2tb table with unstructured data (1tb at the time) that was slowing mysql down severely (most used table by far). A later version of mysql with json support was not available on aws so wasn't an option. This was about two to three years in so the app was actually almost finished and in maintenance mode.

It worked. It took many months and copying the data and doing the migration was a pita. The orm helped in that I had to modify fewer queries by hand, but modifying the queries we did have was trivial also. It's one of only two times off the top of my head that the orm was a net benefit rather than a liability in the apps that use it. Would I use an orm in the future in case this comes up? Hell no. I'd pick a proper db first, aka pgsql (that decision was before my time). But even if I didn't, I'd still prefer to convert the sql one by one from mysql to pgsql rather than incur the horrific penalties and extremely slow run time and development time the orm imposed on us. Developing with the orm was many times slower and the runtime was ten times slower than the actual query time due to hydration. Rewriting a few thousand queries is nothing compared to losing months to the slow development speed and the slow runtime speed which required a completely separate rewrite of most of our functionality alongside the orm just so we could serve api requests in a manner somewhat reminiscent of not completely slow.

So yeah, even when switching from mysql to pgsql, the orm wasn't worth it. It never is or has been.

Not really true. Content policy can take a lot of different forms. There’s a purely compliant approach — only respecting the legal requirements, like illegal content — and then there’s an approach of being Big Brother, taking a censorship role. Facebook seems to want to be at least a little bit of a censor.
Sorry, but "good people" who are involved with all the evil things Facebook does by working for them aren't good people. I know it's hip to absolve yourself of responsibility by saying "I just work here" or "I didn't work on that", but all these rationalizations don't fly as long as you're one of the quiet majority that does nothing to fight what Facebook does.

Seriously, techies seem to act on the same amoral plane as business executives and I wonder how you people manage to sleep at night.
Yep, listening to one employee out of thousands who claims something outrageous is just like listening to that one "scientist" who claims climate change is a hoax or the one "doctor" who claims vaccines are dangerous. If there was truly a hoax, I'd expect a good proportion of the workers there to be outraged about it.

Executive Order on Addressing the Threat Posed by WeChat – The White House
I know lots of people who do this. They are contract labor (or consultants if you prefer that term). The contract is negotiated before work begins. Many employers like to make the initial term short so they can terminate the folks that don't work out. Most US states have "at will" employment laws so either party can terminate at any time.

The drawback is of course that you will have no job stability/security, and no benefits (unless you go with a big body shop).

If you have the skills and reputation, employers will want you on your terms.

For those tradespeople, running a small business can be seriously time consuming. I try to support lone tradies or very small business people, but it's almost always easier finding slightly larger ones that have enough staff that there is someone handling quotes and delegating tradespeople.

I'd suggest building a backoffice for tradies that automates as much as possible. Payments, chasing payments, reminding them of people waiting for quotes, etc. A CRM app that all their incoming enquiries go directly to, etc. Otherwise they have quote requests coming into their phone messages or emails and getting lost along with everything else. I run a small business and have 200-500+ unread emails at almost any time. If something slips off the first screen of G-Suite, it is much harder to remember it.
I worked with one.

He and his buddies had and endless list of grievances involving political this and that. Nothing seemed to happen that wasn't somehow 'political.' They surrounded themselves in this thicket of 'logic' where the simplest explanation was impossible and conspiracies were the most obvious answer to them. Thankfully it was long before social media as we know it.

He was fired for leaving some nasty bigoted comments in code.

But for the record I have no idea who these folks at Facebook are or their motivations.

If the guy I'm thinking of made the news, you wouldn't know either.
Just to be clear, I'm a fan of cutting down light pollution for legitimate reasons (energy conservation, astronomical observation, and wildlife protection) but I twitch at reasons that are either exaggerated or misleading. I felt that throwing in lights along with the pesticide limitations was not a well motivated argument.

My experience has shown that when people are skeptical of your argument they are less likely to comply voluntarily and so the good that you hoped to do is lost and you have damaged your credibility with the people you need to support these ideas.

A small example of this in action was back in 2010 when Google decided they were going to stop stocking bottled water in the fridges around campus because the "energy waste and plastic disposal problem." The only problem was that Google regularly achieved over 95% capture of recyclable trash out of their bins and the energy saved was on the order of maybe half a dozen employees not commuting from San Francisco.

The real reason they wanted to do this was of course cost. They could replace bottled water with filtered dispensers and that would save them a few pennies per employee per month. I had a good conversation with some folks in charge that they could have said, "We're giving every employee an insulated water bottle in your choice of size and color (12, 20, 32, or 40 oz) that you can keep at the office and use to get water from our fancy new dispensers. This will save us money, AND its better for the environment." That would have been honest and gotten a good reception I believe with the rank and file. But dressing up the reason in a cover story that everyone easily poking holes in simply lowered morale and confidence in management.

Google allows 3 months of unpaid leave at request.
Sure, but that’s not really what I was talking about. Citing maven would have made the point stronger for exactly that reason!

(And the lesson isn’t that either, the claim was never “this feature is terrible and ruins the language”, there very much are successful examples. The claim is that the lack of the feature does not mean failure.)
Google doesn't have to allow all transfers of extensions between different groups. The behavior of the new owner could have justified transferring it back.

One of the things I've had trouble is that sqlalchemy also supports cross db but not completely (I never figured how to do date diff that works between postgres and sqlite). Does django orm help with that? And have you come across any flask+django ORM repos you can point to ?
Sometimes yes.

And sometimes you have many other things to do and you want your database to just work. In this case it is perfectly fine to rely on ORM.

It is like C vs Python: yes, I know C pretty well. Yes, it is significantly faster. I am still going to write the project in Python.

Trump banning TikTok/WeChat from operating in 45 days if not sold by companies
It was a health food grocery app, so basket size per user was high. It was RM32-RM128, which by purchasing power translates to roughly $40-$168 per paying user per month. This is also averaging it - as a diet app, we peaked around Dec-March.

And it was more on the flow. We got 1200 users in the first 24 hours, after a two week hack. There was definitely a market there. The goods were overpriced because we didn't have economy of scale, but if we did get the prices down as intended, we'd have far more regular customers.

Because healthcare is tied to your employment 35 hours a week in the US.

In other countries, similar laws trap employees into necessarily working even if they could do the job part year.
This seems profoundly naive to me. "If it's profitable do something" is beyond simplistic.

Profitable compared to what? Profitable for whom? Profitable based on what assumptions? Profitable by what metric? Dollars accrued to capital? Dollars accrued to GDP? Quality of life index? Happiness index? Life expectancy numbers? Infant mortality? Profitable with what externalities forced to be part of cost-factoring?

What is "the market"? What is a "decision" in this context? What is the cost benefit analysis of allowing "the market" to "decide" versus more policy-driven unfolding of the outcome?

... and so on and so on ....

The first amendment was written when the idea of a corporation as large and powerful as Facebook was unthinkable. We need better protection for free speech that applies to corporate platforms (or perhaps to just apply the same common carrier rules we apply to the phone system to other platforms).
