Certainly, there's middle ground (concessions) in several issues like tax rates, zoning, visa policy.

Rights-based positions, on the other hand, are no-compromise by their premise. They're binary issues. "Women/BlackPeople/Felons/OtherGroup should be allowed to vote." "Women/BlackPeople/Felons/OtherGroup should not be allowed to vote." Sometimes you have what looks like a concession in these issues but it's really just one side masquerading like a concession. Example: voter disenfranchisement disguised as implementing voter literacy tests or "you must pay your court debt". Straight up abortion denial disguised as good faith "limitations" (limit after x weeks, insurance requirements, clinic closings, heartbeat, sleep on the issue, fake clinics, etc.).

The policy that follows isn't the thing that most people find appalling. It's the premise. You're absolutely right that we should be focused on policy, but only if people are on board with the premise. Check out the top ranked articles shared on Facebook and you'll agree.

If you take your comment and apply it to moments that sparked huge civil rights changes, I don't think minority groups would have gotten this far. It's the "no compromises" attitude that leads to great social change. Not half measures.

Edit: On further thought, it's arguable that segregation was the "middle ground" between slavery and equal rights. The middle ground just doesn't sound too appealing when it comes to equal rights. Minorities are right to instinctively distrust invitations towards "compromise".

> Really the only practical limitation that I can see now is if you're AWS you can't launch a competing service with Timescale by leeching off their software without paying for it. That's a glaring short-coming of FOSS licenses that really should be addressed

Then use AGPL?
Frankly the new version is still wrong. There's no such thing in rust as a "type not subject to the borrowing rules". Raw pointers don't respect borrowing, but they themselves are still subject to all the same borrowing rules and their pointees are subject to the same borrowing rules if aliased by a reference. In short, any claim whatsoever that it's possible to "turn off" borrowck is FUD.

You might as well claim that Cell, RefCell, and Mutex turn off borrowck in safe rust (since they allow a kind of aliasing outside the borrowing discipline, just like pointers) when we know that's patently false.
Once I got stuck in dry river sand in Arizona (had a job surveying). The truck just sank down in the sand and couldn't get any traction.

It was late in the evening on Friday, almost dark and I was out of phone range. I was single at the time, my bosses and co-workers had all gone home for the weekend and no one was going to miss I was gone until at least Monday morning.

It was probably a good 8 or 10 mile hike minimum back to the road so I decided to settle in for the night and hike out in the morning and get help. So I slept in the truck.

During the night it rained and wet the sand and the next morning I drove right out. Then I kicked myself because there was water right there in the stream and I could have wet the sand myself!
> No one is forcing them to develop for iOS.

The market is.

You can not afford not to publish something on iOS, if iOS were a niche platform used only by 1% of users maybe, but it is a mainstream platform used by more than 40% of users in the US.
I disagree - I always test a real database, never mock it. This is because in my embedded domain we often ship with an empty database, so it is no big deal to add just the tables I need with whatever data I want, and then test it. Sqlite makes this easy for us.

Likewise filesystems on modern operating systems are fast (there is a cache): I cannot measure the time difference I save mocking the filesystem calls out, so it is easier and safer to just work with files I create in the tests. It might some effort to ensure my tests put files in places where they won't collide with other tests, but this isn't hard once you have the idea in place. Since our plan was put into the code early on most people don't even consider bypassing it for some hard coded locatoin and so it is easy to use the plan on test files located in a different location.

Note that the above is specific to my domain. I understand that some of you deal with one database so there is no abstraction that lets you substitute a test database you create on the fly, something not worth fixing since you still cannot afford a license for every developer and CI machine. I'm sure there is a similar argument against using a file system.

The point: before saying don't use something expensive in tests do a benchmark: prove it actually is expensive. You may be lucky like me and discover that databases and filesystem access in tests are not expensive!
This is similar to how Frequency's FX-322 drug works. It stimulates progenitor cells [1] within the cochlea to divide and form new hair cells. From what I've read, progenitor cells are basically one step away from a stem cell.

Not all vertical monopolies are trusts in need of breaking up. Apple's market share may not be enough for the monopoly to require anti-trust intervention, but definitionally, Apple has structured its hardware and software system on mobile as a vertical monopoly.
Ask HN: How to do password strength checking in 2020?
What should I be doing when I can't force users to use a password manager?

So I understand you shouldn't be using hard rules, like including numbers, special symbols, and mixing upper and lowercase characters, as you can have a very weak password that passes those rules, or a very strong password entirely in lowercase. Nevertheless, one does need some sort of password validation to prevent technologically non-savvy users from entering trivially crackable passwords.

I've used dropbox's zxcvbn, but that is no longer maintained, and the ports to other languages are not reliable in my experience.

You came to look at it. That's why it was newsworthy, it's the news that people want to read.

News follows views.
all good points. super confusing times we live in right now. Are we going to evolve where theres conservative companies and liberal companies who only support customers of that same belief system? I dont think so but who knows. I dont see how anyone can get think we are going down a path that wont lead to ugly, ugly times.
You can't edit a function like that. If you add a new function definitoin for

foo(x::Baz)

then you will never enter the method that has those if else statements. This is the benefit of multiple dispatch. You can't add more if else statements inside a method that is already written but you can add new methods.
Welcome back to 2010. Even some Sandy Bridges had AVX.
The C/C++ standards allow compilers to do whatever they want as long as it does not cause observable output changes.

So LLVM could do runtime profiling if it wanted. But I suspect that in the majority of the cases the cost of the profiling would be worse than the potential gains.
Most proponents of Proof of Work don't celebrate the use of energy. They celebrate the use cases that PoW enables. I don't know of any other way to trustlessly establish a consensus ordering, and I believe that being able to trustlessly establish a consensus ordering is very valuable, therefore I believe PoW is worth the expense.

These decisions get made on an open market, it's not like anybody is forced to put money into a wasteful system if they aren't getting value out of that system.
Abortion is a great example here. One side thinks their opponents want total control over women's reproductive systems while the other side thinks their opponents are fine killing babies as long as they haven't actually made it through the birth canal yet.

Very few people think they aren't the good guys in their own narratives, and what's moral isn't an obvious choice in a lot of situations.
I was hoping one of these would cover personal care and hygiene.

It seems that taking care of oneself is a problem for at least one person on every team. Either they don't regularly bathe, wash their clothes, or they smell (either due to smoking, drinking, or body odor).

In my experience half of these people are suffering from mental health problems such as depression.
Almost all of the tech giants have a service now. Now Microsoft's acquisition of Zenimax seems obvious as a defensive move.... content will be key moving forward.
People criticizing censorship on this website make me laugh. Hackernews is the most heavily censored website I've ever encountered. The way this website treats unpopular opinions is like Mao's China.
I think a solution to the App Store problem is to decentralize it, like the web. So I built a decentralized domain-based Android App Store: https://skydroid.app
Indeed, inspecting typed code, lowered code, llvm ir, and native code from the REPL is great. Combine that with @benchmark for microbenchmarking and it's amazing.

Note that the 'manual dispatch' is optimized out in a very early stage:

julia> @code_typed foo(1)
CodeInfo(
1 ─ return 2
) => Int64

So, no need to look at assembly here.
I don’t care.

Don’t get high on your own supply.

Users of drugs know this about their dealers, users of these dopamine producing platforms do not.

Anyone to spread the message, especially an authoritative source, directly to the representatives to do something about it, is the right start.

History has shown this is better. When mayors and representatives try to get their own population off of drugs, it hasn’t ended well for the state.

If a public servant cant effectively do it, then you only have people left that would have a conflict of interest, not controversial.
>In a feature that sounds similar to Google Stadia’s integration with YouTube, Luna users will be able to jump into games directly from Twitch streams.

I predict many Twitch viewers will drawn to the service so they can try and stream snipe their favorite personalities without having to buy the game.
Got caught lying, I see.
3 or 4 generations? Give me a break. My family came over so long ago that we don't know when it happened, just that our lineage can be traced back before the Revolution, to Loyalists and Patriots alike, to both Americans and Canadians, but we don't know and can't discover when they arrived via ship, but it was a lot more than 3 generations ago. 3 generations ago my family was fighting Nazism. 5 generations ago, they fought and died for the Union. How many generations do I and my family need to live on this continent before this is a place we're allowed to live without it being on "stolen land" like the radicals in Canada like to proclaim?

Or am I supposed to tell my children they have to "go back" to countries that no longer exist, on a continent that never wanted them in the first place, six, seven, eight generations after their ancestors left? A continent which is also under pressure to accept whatever immigrants wish to move there, no matter the repercussions of conflicts of culture.

This kind of dismissive attitude towards European-descended Americans is the same racist attitude that underpins the hatred towards anyone who identifies ethnically as "American," which I do, because my family's heritage is long-severed from the Old World, and thank God my kids won't even be able to be accused of being White, that evil race, due to my own miscegenation, so they do not need to listen to this kind of racist drivel about Americans with light skin on sites like this one day after day after day
Amazon re-designs Echo, unveils car security, indoor drone and gaming
What games are you talking about specifically here and when? Fortnite was also developed by Unreal by the way.

Also, Epic is not the first company to buy a game + its license and then only allow people to play it via their platform. Counter-Strike was a independent mod back in the days, before Valve bought it. Same goes for Day of Defeat and bunch of others games.

I'm sure we can find even earlier examples of this happening. For all I know, this happens with every digital medium, pretty early on, and it's not news that game companies are greedy (both Valve, Epic and every other AAA studio/company)
This is really fast and I like it, but I expected my results to be narrowed as I entered more terms but they weren't.
People do this because good unit testing often requires a better design, which is hard -- and, for existing code, may have negative ROI.
In my conversations, such employees don't believe they have the right, they believe their political positions are objectively morally superior and hold an 'ends justifies the means' opinion on influence.
I bet everyone of those people that want to limit 'illegal immigration' are themselves immigrants only 3 or 4 generations ago

There is a difference between immigration and illegal immigration.

You can be in favor of immigration, and against illegal immigration.
I partially agree. I just think Epic’s remedy will make things even worse.
On one hand, I agree that using Facebook and other social media can be destructive for most people. On the other hand, I see that democracy and many other institutions of our world have fallen behind the times. We can't stop that the world is becoming more connected. We can't stop that there are means to broadcast all kinds of information to millions and billions of people. Perhaps it's time we try to figure out how to upgrade existing systems or draft new ones.
Give me some of that sweet loadbalancer action. Its been like a week, i'm starting to lose it.

I've been vocal in the past about using an OSI-approved license for one very specific practical reason: it gets you the ability to be packaged for Linux distros etc. that have policies that match the OSI definition (usually by having terms that match the OSI's current definition, not by delegating the decision to the OSI). In my opinion, that's important for adoption - not as important as it used to be in years past, yes, but still important. Even if production users are going to want to run the latest version (or run a commercially-supported binary), the ability to apt-get install something on your laptop to test it has value, as does the ability for other pieces of software in a Linux distro to depend on it.

That said, given that they're following a more-or-less "open core" model where there's a clearly FOSS portion (Apache 2) and some non-FOSS extra features on top, I don't think that this is going to be a practical barrier. It looks like the Apache 2 portion of Timescale is substantial enough that you can package it in Linux distros and use it. So in this particular case, I think it doesn't matter whether the rest of it is technically "open source" - it very clearly isn't going to be accepted by Linux distros, and it very clearly is fine for its intended users, and both of those are okay.
Sure, but then it shouldn't be allowed to hide behind Section 230.
And the ability to sell themselves.

Anyone got a good read on how can one sell oneself?
Maybe don't think it as a DSN, but rather how the Root Files are hosted. Currently there are national security issues with the way how Root Files are hosted. It is ONLY fair since the Internet is for the world that the Root Files are decentralised in that fashion as well.

Although I'm not entirely sold on BlockChain, there are other more energy saving gossip based Byzantine fault tolerant protocol to consider for use. However, everyone is just prototyping in this space. So for one I'm big supporter for the Root Files to be stored in this fashion, even if it is on a blockchain.
> Nobody will force you to do anything

My previous bank forced installation of a rootkit in Windows and Mac, and required full permissions in Android just to open. Their website didn't even work in Linux because they didn't make a Rootkit.

I didn't really have an option at the time: this was before my government made a law allowing you to use any bank, so I needed the bank to access my salary.

I'm all for freedom of fully owning your own device, but the reality is that software developers and software companies will abuse this freedom.
FYI, the word "out" doesn't belong in that sentence and drastically changes the meaning!
I could dig it up, but there was a leak about ten years ago where literally thousands of high wealth individuals were caught out hiding money from the IRS. And a a large US money manager was found to be helping thing them.

What happened?

Some people had to pay fines. The company paid a small fine with no charges filed. Leaker went to prison.

The system is completely corrupt.
Just the opposite, without some kind of objective basis for this decision making, it's more likely that corporations will make heavily politicized decisions.

It's short sighted, and it's basically shocking how narrow in scope a lot of this populism is.

Has anyone bothered to venture outside the country, maybe for a 2 week vacation?

China is putting people into camps on the basis of their ethnicity.

Qatar has a new form of 'indentured servitude' where they bring in workers, grab their passports, force them to work of the 'debt' - and give the absolutely zero form of recourse, there is no 'justice system' just what the ruler decide on a whim. Beatings? Dead workers found the desert? Who cares?

Or even softer political movements like Irish Catholic groups that demand and end to all contracts for Northern Ireland based businesses?

It's not even scratching the surface.

CEO's taking actions on these populist causes willy nilly will lead to their own implosion.

There has to be deference to legal or legitimized entities or this will not end well.
You completely missed the point of GP's comment. They never said Facebook can't do whatever they want. Just that Facebook employees shouldn't feel like they get a say in it.

edit: btw I'm not saying it is GP's opinion that Facebook can do whatever they want. I have no idea what GP thinks about that. I'm only saying their argument wasn't specifically about that.
The problem is that facebook has partially replaced both broadcast television and private conversations people would have in person or on the phone.

Historically, nobody would batt and eye about a network policing the opinions represented in its programing. However, there would be uproar if a phone company controlled what was said in a call.

Facebook fills so many roles that a single solution does not exist.

You need battery mass to capture energy on decent, why lug that mass around when there's cheap energy available down on the ground where you're going?
I just don't find your cognitive dissonance to be relevant.

You’re asking for something to be proved - or supporting evidence that requires a whole dissertation - because your exposure is starting from a position that is fundamentally wrong.

“Suspicious” is a misnomer referring to an automatic reporting threshold, that in fewer additional circumstances allows for discretion in filing. The end.
They closed the news server (and its web gateway) a few years ago. I guess they did it to avoid the backlash of news like this. Wow.

Edit: is there any other forum out there? I remember some google group or something but it was mostly dead too.
Not as ballsy as it sounds, considering that Hootsuite is a Canadian company, not an American company.

When Hootsuite locks out the RCMP, I'll be impressed.
This is scaremongering. Android has alternative app stores and most apps don't bother releasing to them. iOS would not fragment overnight into dozens of app stores if it was to become open. Likely the majority of apps would still target the App Store, with a handful of major competing stores. These competitors would be incentivized to attract developers, otherwise they would end up with the same lack of apps that killed alternative smartphone operating systems. Not to mention, there would be some degree of standardization of store rules across these platforms, because that's how industries with multiple players tend to function.

You're describing an entirely extreme position without any basis.
The licorice pipes were not the super-strong shiny black variety but the somewhat sweet, softer black licorice that, when torn, is a dark brown inside.
You can see /r/conservative is more than a little active. Maybe the problem is that /r/politics moderators want reliable sources?

I mean, if you take a look, /r/conservative isn't exactly a bastion of lucid discussion. Case in point:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/iytx49/locati...

Implying that protesters are out there burning down houses (they aren't) and that the huge increase in size and number of forest fires lately isn't a result of climage change (it is).

The real problem isn't that liberals are over-represented on /r/politics, but that most people who identify as "conservative" on Reddit and elsewhere have gone so far-right or conspiracy-theory or troll-hard that conservative outlets lately tend to be mass-producing more propaganda, right-wing content, or misinformation. If you're an actual conservative who hasn't been sucked up into this psychopath right-wing bubble, it's difficult to actually find content that isn't pandering to those who have by posting deliberately misleading or outright false articles.

I feel bad for anyone who believes in legitimate conservatism, because their viewpoints and political party have been so completely co-opted by the fascist far-right and alt-right that there's not much else for them to do but vote dem or join the lunatic fringe.
If Apple wanted, they could release a decentralized app store relatively quickly, by just allowing Cydia to exists and be installed without having to require root access to the device (actually don't know if Cydia still exists, basically a app for listing/searching/installing/removing apps from any repository online)
AMFare. The first fast food robot? (1964)
People certainly do falsely assert that things are more harmful than they are to justify taking them down. But it's not disingenuous to point out that there are many cases where disinformation really is deeply harmful (as in it results in death or bodily harm to many, many people).
lol, this reminds me of a meeting the department I was in at the time (tech support) had with the head of operations years ago. When she opened the floor for serious questions/comments, the first thing some jackass brought up was his disappointment in the lack of free tea in the break room. The look on her face was priceless.
Oh honey, bless your heart.

At no point did I say the science was wrong. It isn't. If anything, the projections are too rosy.

There are types of speech that are legitimately harmful, and discussing how to protect people from its harms is part of being in a functioning society.
Programmers complain about code, but that doesn't make the results wrong. I guess I could explain why the models aren't can't be exactly predictive, but nobody wants a deep dive on epistemology.
But the deeper problem is this isn't a great use of anyone's time:
"You cannot reason someone out of something he or she was not reasoned into."

Your not understanding something doesn't make it wrong.
Your skepticism is based on some combination of fear and pride, not reason, but it's ok. I'm not mad at you. I'm sure you're doing your best.
Out of curiosity, following that definition how do you semantically separate news from entertainment?

I'm not asking because I am convinced that I have the answer, but because the question is worth being asked :)
