FYI and for anyone reading this, Bitchute is not P2P or decentralized at all. 100% of its requests are served from data center IPs in Kansas. It's a fraud.
The website is great. I'll try it!
Do you think that is it useful for a SaaS project?
Oh come on, save your silly sarcasm for reddit. If someone doesn't want to use the App Store for their app they have NO OTHER OPTION.

Nobody cares about other markets, but you can't even host your own app! You are forced to give up 30% of your app revenue just to be in their walled garden. That is monopolistic in every possible way. And stop with the childish "ooh we're gonna end up like Android". Android devices are more than capable to hold their own against Apple's offerings nowadays and I haven't heard anyone complain about viruses and malware in like five years now.

And when I want to install an open source app I can do so on Android but Apple wants to tell me I can't after I spent $1k on their shiny phone. Amazing stuff, let's not lose it for something silly like user and developers having a fucking choice.
Woopra the best believe me. You must try.
Not censorship.

Freedom.

Private property includes the freedom to restrict what occurs on that property. Reddit is private property.

Same goes for Hacker News.

Let freedom ring!

edit: guess people don't like freedom :-(

Would Hacker News be "censoring" me if they deleted my submission to TIMECUBE? Isn't it "MAH RAIGHT" to proselytize my sincere and deeply-held beliefs about TIMECUBE?

Are you CENSORIZING MAH FREEZE PEECH by downvoting and thus hiding from public view, this comment?
As an electrical engineer, I'm intrigued. Do you actually control the angle of the foils during travel?

Is it to maintain a set height or change height too. I know that too high, and the boat becomes unstable.

I know that retracting the foils is a simple thing, relatively speaking.

However, if you are actually controlling the foil angle, isn't the technology available for decades? I mean there are cooling water pumps that change the impeller vane angles during operation at 400 - 700 RPM, there are helicopter blades that change angles, ship propellers can also change angle during operation, etc. There are many examples.

What technical problem have you specifically overcome in this case?

You surround yourself with 7.8 billion people who shit nearly every day.

To put it bluntly, you are judging yourself when you take yourself to be judging others, you claim an excuse that associating with others leads to your own self-admitted "badness"... You judge yourself, and rather than taking sentence with those aspects within, you externalize it and make assumptions based upon comparisons of your ideal shitty person, which deep down we both know that we are our own worst critics.

This only leads down one road, self-annihilatory behavior.

Learn to love yourself completely, you are not lacking, and to be honest, you taking yourself to be one that thinks of others or yourself as a shitty person is one of the most lovable parts about you.

A long way to go to solving 'hate speech' on Reddit. If you can first find where to draw the line that is.
They clearly outline their definition of "hate content" in their post about it. [0] They go over the methodology and dig a bit into the results. It looks like a good start.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Doesn't seem like it would be feasible to maintain all drivers as employees.
Thank you I just ordered it.
> You put everything in a Box::new (regular heap memory) or RC::new (reference counted memory) or Arc::new (reference counted memory suitable to be used concurrently in different threads), and then when they go out of scope they'll be cleaned up.

Please don’t. This is probably one of the biggest mistakes I see in people coming from languages with garbage collection to languages like Rust or C++. They attempt to use smart pointers as a replacement for garbage collection.

The idiomatic use of these languages is that unless you have a good reason not to, just put the variable on the stack. This will make your program shorter, easier to reason about, and potentially faster due to memory locality.

The rough guideline I have heard for C++ which likely applies to Rust is that 90% of your variables should be on the stack. Of the remainder 90% should be unique ownership such as unique_ptr or Box. Shared ownership such as shared_ptr or Arc/Rc should ideally be no more than 1%.
Those also happen to be fairly common names for operations (rounding up or down to nearest integer).
I would prefer it if the methods in java.lang.Math had been called "larger" and "smaller", instead of "min" and "max".

I sometimes mix up "min" as "take the minimum" rather than "take the larger given this minimum".
This is a natural extension of any platform geared for the general public as creators, because managing all that for someone in one place provides real benefit to the user. It's just as you note that benefit comes with loss of control.

It's really no different than anything else in life. People hire contractors to do larger home repairs, and the contractors contact and subcontract other specialty workers as needed (drywall, woodworking, plumbing, electrical) for things they can't cover themselves. As the homeowner, unless you make an effort to know who these people are, you won't know who they are and may not know what their company is. The benefit is that you don't need to know any of it and can just let the contractor coordinate it all for you.

Youtube is just like that contractor, except instead of a local guy that cares about your business it's a giant multinational which is hard to get to care if they screw something up for you because you're one of many millions of other customers.

The parallels of you can handle all this coordination youtube offers with more control are obvious. Either hire someone to do it all for you or handle it yourself if you want control, because no matter what platform you go to that handles it for you, chances are it will exhibit some or all of the problems that Youtube has, or even new ones.

You may be interested in a detailed breakdown of authorship of various parts of the Bible [0]. In summary, to a first approximation, only the books written during the Babylonian Exile and during the preaching of Peter and Paul were written during the events that they describe, and most other books were written much later. The Gospels are decades after Jesus' life and death, and all of the Bronze Age stories are set centuries before they were recorded.

TypeScript versioning is a joke on Semver that Daniel and team love to play. They go from 3.9 to 4.0 because as you all know 3.10 would be impossible!

Every version of TypeScript is potentially a breaking change so if they wanted to be pure Semvers we would've been at TypeScript version 100 or more which could make people feel overwhelmed about being behind with their current version.

As always a great release! Congratulations to the team! We love TypeScript at my team.

I've never seen someone who wants to go back from TypeScript to plain JavaScript. Design decisions made about structural comparison and not much focus on correctness made TypeScript an easy forgiving type system that hold developer's hand without being a pain in the bottom. The way TypeScript interacted with the community and received feedback also helped its success.

I manage petabytes of storage of media content. While this content is not mine, I'm just saying I'm fully aware of the size of video content. My personal video archive is in the hundreds of TBs. I have put forth the effort to save my content in multiple formats aw well as locally, offsite, and in the cloud. I'm saving RAW content. Most "YouTubers" are producing MP4 video content which is tiny compared to RAW. If I can do it, they can too. I guarantee YouTubers making money are making way more money than I am.

Thoughts on speculation that this will cause drunk driving deaths to increase?
Good for you but are you going to pay me few thousand dollars a month so I can sustain an independent business? Probably not. What I need is access to a lot of people who are willing to pay me a small sum each for the software that I make. Multiple appstores with uneven access is unlikely to help with that and would probably increase my development costs too.

That's not that big a problem for established and big companies but it is something that I am not looking forward to.
More accurately would be to say Reddit reports 18% of hate content moved to a different platform. This would be akin to saying "salmon30salmon saw a reduction in hate content when he stopped attending hate group meetings".

While I appreciate any attempt to reduce hate, it isn't really something to cheer in this case. The goal is to reduce hate, and pushing people further into the fringes doesn't do that. Now instead of being part of a community that has hate, but also positive information, the hate groups are going to be forced into a more focused hate forum. It is a means to further push people to the fringes which could further radicalize folks.

Essentially, Reddit etc. doesn't make people hate more, the internet just exposes the hate that already existed. It is part of a larger cultural problem. People don't generally become hateful after seeing 12 memes, they are raised in an environment that breeds hate. Banning the subreddits _feels_ good, but it is not a solution to the core problem.
Ask HN: What is a science fact that blew your mind when you learned it?
I'll go first. When I read that it takes a photon over 100,000 years to exit the Sun as visible light, I was completely astounded. Curious what other insights from science people have learned that were completely unexpected to them.
"Hate speech" is a very specific term, and I'd guess Reddit's deliberately avoiding using it. They're targeting hate in the broad sense, the sense that they want to build communities where people are nice rather than mean.

To win what? Lets not forget what the stakes are, the countries where all these narcissistic psychopaths were either elected or self imposed dictators for life were held back. Who wants a president who considers winning a personal gain? It is extremely harmful for the short and long term as well.

A president has to inspire unity for the country and most dictators suppress and hide the fact that they don’t even have half the country supporting them using different tactics from rigging elections to squashing the opposition.
Robots/AI can't even automate many of the existing ways. Examples abound, but: robots/AI can't replace carpenters, plumbers, mechanics, or couriers yet. In knowledge work, they're far from replacing engineers, designers, or authors. They can barely walk on two feet, struggle to open doors and climb stairs, and can't think originally. And we have a long, long ways to go before they can. I'm not worried about "automation" as long as I can clean a toilet and a robot can't.

Flight sims are a lot more useful than FPSes for training.

My first flight hour was an ILS approach in a King Air. Supervised, for sure, but the owner was rather shocked I could navigate and follow glide slope without any actual time in the air.

The same is not true for a FPS.
I used to drive for Uber, a few hours a week during my downtime when I was bored and had nothing better to do.

The earnings weren’t great, but it was very helpful as an extra. I had a fuel efficient car and kept track of all my expenses for deductions and made above minimum wage.

I’ve met plenty of lovely and fascinating people and had great, enjoyable conversations. I barely had any issues with riders.

This extra income helped me buy more stocks and make just a little bit more progress towards my financial goals. These stocks are still compounding away.

I’m a bit sad that this opportunity is now taken away from Californians.
"the amount that we remove from forests through foraging and hunting is trivial compared to the amount of resources we demand from agricultural land."

Sure thing. I just debated the "closed system" point. Forests are mostly a cycle in themself (called ecosystem), but not enclosed.
Well I guess they will find ways of expanding the definition of including turning innocent gestures, images, emojis, etc into 'dog whistling' signals which is only picked up by the hysterical extremes on both sides.

Again, how does one draw the line on 'hate speech' or 'hate content'?
This was my first thought as well, sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Now the counter argument would be, where has that sunlight been these past few years with everything out in the open...
That's just our own minds applying their own adaptive heuristics to the universe, though. We're used to dealing with systems that have a history, because that's what allows us to avoid the tiger lurking in the dark. But there's no particular reason to think that kind of evolved thinking should be scale free, through time and space.

Why is a universe that has always been in existence, cycling through different states, any more sensible than one that pops into existence only to ultimately fizzle out? Both require the presupposition of some kind of uncaused system. Gathering evidence pointing toward one or the other is key.

I do think that the Big Bang maps better to Western religious cosmogony (matter was created ex nihilo) and Big Bounce to philosophical materialism (matter is the fundamental substrate of the world), but that shouldn't bias a scientist against the Big Bang.

California has proven itself again and again to be really good at centrally planning the economic activities of individuals so I think this will work out pretty well in the end.
Said differently: "Reddit banned nearly 7,000 subreddits, but left alone the ones that contribute 82% of hate content."

That seems like a dismal result, practically an admission that many of the bans were unjustified and/or subs that should have been banned were not.
When I moved to CA, I put off getting a CA license for years. I always told myself I'd go to the DMV and do the paperwork, then I waited long enough to find out I would have to retake the test, until finally I just resigned to using Uber and Lyft all the time. I never thought I would need it and so I never made it a priority.

So this news really sucks, as you haven't been able to schedule DMV appointments at all and it looks like it will continue to be that way for the foreseeable futuere. I understand the Uber/Lyft may have had this a long time coming but it really is inconvenient for this to happen during COVID.
Joshua 10:13, Joshua commands the sun and moon to stand still for about a whole day. Isaiah 38:8 God brings the sun backwards to set the shadow of the sundail of Ahaz back 10 degrees. Genesis God sets the sun, moon and stars inside the firmament with us. Or the great flood that is recorded with similar versions all across the world. Even the Roman Catholics believed the earth was flat at the time of Christopher Columbus. There's a reason why sea level is always at zero. Point being its about worshipping our heavenly Father that created all things, and set aside all of man's teachings to forsake the things of this world to have enternal life.

We immortalised our boss' departure on the blockchain (see comment)
[Amit](https://www.linkedin.com/in/amittikekar/), our beloved manager is leaving the company tomorrow. We the crew have decided to immortalise him by writing our farewell card on the Ethereum blockchain so that the Internet (tm) will never forget what a wonderful human being he is and the great time we had together!

It's a pity that we can't celebrate have the last day in person (pandemic be blamed).

Hackers, please join us in bidding farewell to our boss, mentor and friend, Amit.

P.S. The text is embedded in the transaction data.

P.P.S. I sure hope he doesn't check Hacker News this evening! (It's 2:30 AM over here).

Hi! Can understand the reservations about the subscription service. The base Quell game is free for life. Our subscription service provides access to a steady stream of new areas, enemies and modes that will keep Quell exciting. The base game will still have a lot to keep coming back to, but the subscription will help us run the development of this new content so that the experience stays fresh for longer. We'll also be opening up the hardware to other developers, including those in VR, since we know that broadening the ecosystem can only help ensure people have a reason to keep using Quell long-term.
People freely working is not exploitation. Full time driving jobs already exist if you wanted that instead of freelance rideshare driving.
> Instead, what Sacramento politicians are pushing is an employment model that 4 out of 5 drivers don’t support.

Is that stat accurate? If so, what is the argument for imposing a model that the vast majority of drivers don't support?
Thanks! This is mostly used for UX, right? :) I'll try demo.
The dreaded algorithm. Sorry to hear this.
Everything I've seen suggests that removing platforms actually does reduce this stuff. It's analogous to the argument that there's no point trying to reduce suicides; people are just gong to do it some other way. But no, if you put a barrier on a bridge, suicides really do go down in total. If you make something even just a little bit more difficult, you reduce it.

R₀ is used to describe that (roughly anyway, I think it doesn't align exactly with what you are saying).

Herd immunity means that enough people are immune to drive R₀ below 1, absent other factors. So the number of infections would decrease without social distancing and without mask wearing and so on.

The reason herd immunity gets so much attention is because it is the threshold where things can go back to normal. If you redefine it to include mitigations, then you need another term for when you can reasonably safely cease those mitigations.

(Hopefully we can get herd immunity with a safe vaccine, rather than the majority of the population getting infected)
Sure. And ultimately the gains in productively are due to his labour.
I said this in another thread but I've been in the industry for 10 years. I don't expect to come in and rearchitect things on day 1, but I expect the tasks to be meaningful. The stuff I'm working on isn't an on-ramp to bigger tasks or being better integrated with the rest of the team, it's a silo that nobody wants to touch.

If your perspective is that onboarding is basically hazing people have to do to fit in at your company, I think that's pretty messed up. The best places I worked at tried to get people to ship meaningful features that would have an impact quickly.

Service will degrade too. "Your driver will be here in 45 minutes" type of stuff going forward. A huge incentive of using uber/lyft was that in major cities you could literally be picked up in a few minutes of requesting the ride.
It's not for me, it's for when I get bug reports and I need to decipher what flavour of linux, what release of the kernel, what libc etc. "I'm running decrepit duck" doesn't really narrow it down too much. Especially when multiple distributions use these jovial monikers.
> All of it except cosmetic. A.k.a. universal healthcare.

I really wish people were more educated about this. In 2013, the US Government spent $4,981 PER PERSON (only $4,500 was privately funded per person) [1].

That is more government money per person than Sweden, Germany, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, etc (more than almost every first-world country).

The US has a pricing problem and a healthy-living problem. Almost 2/3 of all healthcare spending goes toward the obese 1/3 of the population [2].

Under 45, costs are less than 3k per person per year on average. The next 2 decades see prices soar to over double at almost 6.5k and over 65 they almost double again to 11.3k [3].

Why should I have to pay twice as much because someone else is overeating?

Put more interestingly, if obese people were denied government funds, the current amount of government spending at current prices would not only pay for EVERYONE, but would even have money left over (most likely gradually reaching equilibrium as those people lost weight to gain coverage).

Personally I think that it's just the limits of geometric understanding for some peole. Personally I hit that limit when I tried to understand quaternions. Some people hit that limit with calculus. I guess others hit that limit when they try to understand perspective from a sphere.
That's not a very charitable view. Some people want to help solve problems that are local to them or have personally affected them. There's nothing wrong with that.
