You're basically saying 'my mob is right and that's that'.

It's completely wrong.

The community is way, way more important than your opinion, and we have many established bodies to help us try to be objective about things, to protect minorities, to make sure we have a civic foundation.

Even at the international level, we have some semblance of rules we try to follow.

You don't get to pick and chose which laws to follow.

The best way to fix ICE is to vote, and support litigation if they are doing something which people feel is against the law.

They are a mainstream US government entity, there is otherwise no reason to ban them other than supporting internal political mobs.

Finally, I would double down on the excessive narrow mindedness of all of this. Take a moment to talk to migrants of countries with actually 'bad' regimes and you'll get an earful. There's real calamity in this world which makes a lot of consternation over otherwise relatively civic stuff seems really immature. I can't fathom how we must look to the immigrants we work with. At very least, if we're going to be serious about it we have to be consistent, and there are zero corporations that have the ability to do that, which is why we defer to established groups.
If the Thai department of immigration was separating children from the families, locking them in cages in dangerous conditions and forcing hysterectomies on women in their custody...

IPLD, and its ability to embed existing references (e.g. git hashes) I think is a good "big tent" approach to get people on board.

Relatedly, I think files / encouraging application layer to marshall/unmarshall from flat bytes was always a terrible idea. IPLD encourages not doing that.

The most important thing is betting people to agree on how we content-address data (see [1]). At that point, we can just let the network protocols duke it out, using bridges to ensure any fragmentation doesn't hurt network affects so bad.

Ultimately, shared addressing scheme -> commodification, something this industry desperately needs, and indeed something humanity needs to make better and fairer use of technology. It's a lot like the identity problem with human-oriented distributed systems, just way easier to solve prior to coordinating better since the actual content addressing (as opposed to agreeing on the scheme) is trustless and coordination free.

I tend to think that the "Trump will seize the presidency" is akin to the "Trump is a fascist" narrative which is only a hop and skip away from the "Trump is a Russian stooge" narrative.

Notice how little we hear from Democratic messaging about Russian interference or impeachment? Clearly this must not have tested well when they were vetting their messaging against test audiences.

My guess: the idea of some refused succession is all bluster and fantastic delusions of media-elite liberals, unable to imagine a reality that's not all-out emergency.

> It is curious to me that you think that acting ethically somehow sows division and hatred.

It does, after a fashion. The question is 'do we care'? There are many parties that get upset with people who are assertive. People-pleasers get trapped into thinking that it's their fault if everyone isn't happy with them at all times and in all things. It's unhealthy. Every choosing beggar they meet turns them into their own personal doormat.

In interpersonal dynamics there is a concept that:

It never occurred to me that of the thousands of chemicals in a cigarette some of them might be geared specifically to "help" you take in more smoke, and by extension, more air after.

Even assuming that were true (Hootsuite is a B Corp, so it's not quite that simple), companies have to engage in reputation management as part of making money. The result of this is that even entirely profit-focused companies will often refuse to deal with certain suppliers and customers. This is effectively a cost of doing business for highly disreputable companies and organisations; certain suppliers simply won't deal with them. As I mentioned elsewhere, pornography is a particularly dramatic example, with its own (very expensive) supporting ecosystem of companies.

I don't understand what "utilitarian immigration policy framework" means, but in any case policies are made by congress not by ICE. In fact it would be quite undemocratic for ICE to decide universally they aren't going to enforce the laws that congress made.

Maybe this is an unnecessary comment but I think this was uninsightful for SSC. It's impossible to divorce some of the conspiracies from political alignment so I'm surprised he's willing to try to make a case for that; and if he wasn't doing that the perfunctory attempt at connecting this to a broader point about false belief and how it is acquired and retained failed.

In the article before this one he more or less intimates that it's not necessary to publicly refute false heterodox belief (creationism/ID). W T F? He also ignores, or doesn't include the reasons why it became such a huge topic in the 2000s: bush's presidency.
Hypothesize a machine that allows you to change people's emotions directly, one that has seen mass adoption. Sure, people opt-in to using it, but once plugged in, it works as advertised: send the right commands to it, and people's emotions shift.

You could do a lot of good with one of those! The ultimate anti-anxiety treatment, the ultimate in letting people become the cooler heads they need to be for good ideas to prevail in tense situations.

You could also hack into it with almost no effort and turn a whole city into a bad knock-off of Resident Evil; hit the neurons that rabies hits, get people tearing and biting at each other.

Should people be allowed to install it?

I think it's possible that books were a great idea and a machine like the one I described (without proper constraints to put control in the hands of the owner) would be a terrible idea. There's probably some technology along the line between these where we say "Whoa, wait. What this could achieve is grand, but the way it gets there is, uh-oh."

The more powerful a technology is, the more obligation it implies upon the people holding control over its implementation and execution to consider moral and philosophical concerns of its use.
> It’s amazing how many practical problems in software engineer come down to gluing systems together in new and cool ways.

Right, but the difference is whether you will ever have to do more than "just a little glue" and making sure you can easily delegate to a different tool to handle those cases. In my experience, there are precious few cases where you never have to do more than just a little glue. Basically any application in which Python owns the data model (e.g., the data model is a non-trivial tree of Python class objects), this is incompatible.

> Sure, and we agree: you wouldn’t use pure Python for something where every scrap of performance matters.

I don't want to be disagreeable, but this is the sort of thing I would say about Go or Java--you shouldn't use it for cases where every scrap of performance matters. But there's an enormous gap between the things Python can do and the things that Go and Java can do. Moreover, if you do run into problems with Go or Java, there's a lot of optimization available to you (at least not in the general case, although there are niches where you can gain a lot of performance with pandas or similar).

Moreover, there's just not a good reason to choose it these days. There are better options without the traps.

I know that the whole "it doesn't work without javascript" story sounds like "get off my lawn", but content authors, esp on HN, need to realise that quite a few of us refuse to browse the Web with JS enabled esp on mobile devices.

With JS the experience on the mobile web is garbage. It's difficult enough to find quality content as it is, we don't need all the added "benefits" of JS.

Out of your thousand or so nominal ancestors from ~1776, none of them lived outside the US and Canada? That's an astonishingly complete genealogy and given that the vast, vast majority of Americans have more recent immigrant heritage somewhere, more than a little unbelievable.
For me, the price of the app isn't really the distinguishing characteristic of whether you're 'inside' the app or not.

If I'm using a free app, and a bug causes it to break, would I report the bug to Apple or to the developer? If I saw something objectionable, or ugly, would I say that iOS is ugly, or would I blame the developer? I think that regardless of the price, when I'm using an app and I find myself in the state of attributing the experience to the developer instead of Apple, that means I'm playing in the developer's space, not Apple's. Getting past all of the analogies, what Apple is doing is saying that you're not allowed to mention competing storefronts even when you're inside your own space.

In contrast, if I went to a app store page and the app store crashed, or the app didn't download, I'd contact Apple, because I'm not in the developer's space there, I'm in Apple's.

There is some fuzziness there, and there's also some fuzziness around whether or not it's OK for Apple to decide what you can and can't do inside your own 'app space.' Different people can have different opinions on that, and ultimately the courts/Congress will probably end up deciding whether that is Ok.

But that's the non-analogy, purely app-centric explanation I would use -- Apple is dictating what you can say to customers when you're in your own space, and they're doing that to a degree that goes beyond protecting users from malware or fraud. I personally think it's very difficult to argue that keeping people from mentioning prices elsewhere is a restriction that's purely designed to protect users. It's not really the same as restricting phishing attacks or fraud inside of an app would be. So to me, that makes me feel less charitable about arguments that Apple should be able to have that kind of control about what happens in the developer's space, because I don't see a compelling reason for them to have that power.

While Mr. Torvalds may have been a much richer man if he prohibited "Linux as a Service", it was the unrestricted freedom given by the GPL which allowed companies like Amazon/AWS to use Linux in the first place.
God, imagine how fat we will become when we don't even have a reason to get up off of the couch. Just consume and consume.
Fair enough, but again the whole anti-alternate app stores narrative hinges on the supposition that these app stores will be a significant source of malware. I'm wondering if there are any Android security studies that proves or disproves that point.

>ICE was created after September 11, 2001. It doesn't even operate "at the border", but inland. The border is protected by the United States Border Guard, Customs, and local police.

I'm not sure that that has much relevance to the above poster's beliefs.

Even though ICE was created after 9/11, it's not like no one was doing immigration enforcement before them. ICE was just a re-org of existing agencies like the INS. In some circles, people don't even refer to ICE by its new name: Meet the new "la migra", same as the old one.

If you're someone like the GP poster who believes that people shouldn't be in the US illegally, it's logical to support immigration enforcement of people past the border. ~40% of people who are in the US illegally didn't enter illegally. They came legally and overstayed their visas. There's really nothing that the CBP can do about that, unless they take on the INS's responsibilities.

Perhaps the takeaway should be that these sorts of studies need a control group. Now it may be difficult to find a population that would be good to serve as a control group, which I think points toward the idea that these sort of studies should be used to examine the differences between groups, rather than to make claims about any group in absolute terms.

I also think that studies of the form "people who disagree with me are stupid because they think X" are fundamentally dumb. This particular issue is just a small part of why I think that.

I don't think I agree with the "Stop Snacking" advice. We all go through times where we need a boost to our sense of accomplishment, it can put the wind in our sails to address bigger problems. Sometimes snarfing up a bunch of snack tasks can make all the difference in the world.

Yes, you shouldn't solely be a snacker, probably, but I think it's counterproductive to think of engineers as highly autonomous, robotic units that can view each task selection in total isolation. Previous, unrelated tasks can influence your ability to complete your current task. The weight of future tasks can pull you down.
I think the question isn't about "can or can't" but about "should or shouldn't."

"arbitrary software"...

Take the world "arbitrary" and we can see the truth.

Now let me rephrase this in the right way, to avoid the language tricks used on your question.

Should the user have the right to install software on the device they bough and therefore, they own?

Its not "legally mandating" the provider to be "forced" to do anything. Its just a matter of rights of the user who buy stuff from anyone.

Its a pure ethical thing to do, that protects the user freedom, and thats what the law should do, to protect the rights of the party with the least power in a negotiation between two parties. Especially if the concept of property and ownership is involved.

I dont get the half of the comments in this thread. If we depended on your point of views, we would be stuck with the Intels, Microsoft's, Apples and the likes with absolute control into our digital lifes.

Remember Prism and the collusion of goverment spy agencies and tech companies to know everything everyone was doing?

Now imagine how much power this represents? Imagine a modern fascist with that much power on his hands? What would he would be able to do?

You dont even need to get into conspiracy theories, but just think about the rights and freedoms of the users against the effort of tech companies to control them.

But to avoid the centralization of power and control would be a side-effect of people standing for those simple right's.

- 1 is anti-Police

- 1 is anti-Barrett

- 2 are misc. politics (covid, etc.)

> Compression and aggregation performance in TimescaleDB is much worse than ClickHouse

You are likely basing this off on an old version of TimescaleDB.

For the last year TimescaleDB has included native compression (in part by storing data in a columnar format):

https://blog.timescale.com/blog/building-columnar-compressio...

TimescaleDB now implements delta-delta, Gorilla, and other best-in-class compression algorithms:

https://blog.timescale.com/blog/time-series-compression-algo...

This has yielded 94%+ compression, which should make TimescaleDB and Clickhouse fairly similar in storage compression.
