Good for Twitter and good for Facebook for once not bowing down to conservative demands to allow them to spread untrue propaganda and conspiracies (https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/6/21357663/facebook-removed-...)

I'm very surprised so many people have a problem with this.

I'm even more surprised people are demanding that forums and social media be stripped of the ability to moderate porn, spam, and vile personal attacks (ie not be able to moderate anything not illegal). Oh plus conspiracies and racism. This would likely turn most forums including HN into trash

The reality is that once you’re as big as FB, Google and the rest you have enough money to play both sides of the aisle. Doesn’t matter who is in power, you’ve got them both under control.
Yes, anyone can see the violence that happened in Charlottesville and the white supremacist that ran a car into people killing a woman. Anyone can see the 17 year old white supremacist in Kenosha that killed two and injured one. Anyone can see the statistically disproportionate state sponsored violence against minorities that results in their murder on the street during daylight like George Floyd.

Minority votes are being suppressed, they make less money than their white counterparts, they have less access to higher education, less access to nutritious food, and they’re disproportionately dying during a pandemic.

But sure, let’s ignore reality and talk about your narrow view on housing prices and police “protection”.

Thanks for this! Got a link to this last week from a coworker and was super helpful.
For fixed-site applications of sufficient land area and scale, it's difficult to beat pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH). The round-trip efficiency is around or above 70%, the same or better than CAES. CAES is probably best used in applications similar to flywheel (FES), away from occupied areas.

>Anything pro S&P500 should be suspect, especially when the comments are defending bad news.

That's a pretty ridiculous assertion when you consider how many people benefit from these companies' products/services. (Look at how many people like Apple products.) Subsequently, they will defend the companies that they think are getting unfair treatment.
Rather than give me negative points, how about you folks doing that trying to actually respond?

> How much does Zoom's software differ from Cisco/Webex?

It's been 9 years, so I would guess quite a lot.

> Should Cisco/Webex sue Zoom for IP theft?

I mean they probably could, but this is more of an employee retention problem. If Cisco had not mismanaged the engineering department (And if they had not mismanaged the engineering department, then why did ±1000 engineers decide to leave for a competitor within a week), they would have been able to build the software in the way they seemed to feel they could at Zoom. This is Cisco's fault.

What's the point of having intellectual property if it is very clearly inferior to that of a brand new startup with a lot of the same engineers? How much is that IP worth if a significant number of your employees decide to leave to work on a product in the same space, because you can't do it right?

As always, thoughtful resources, especially provided gratis, are a wonderful contribution, and appreciated!

That said, I think there's a fundamental problem with what determines a 'good resumes'!

Resumes are generally assessed by a wide range of hirers and various layers or recruiters or hr in the middle - and the people who assess it they all have (very) different ideas of what is good!

I've seen this play out many times where person 1 says make it longer, person 2 says make it shorter, person 3 says not enough detail, person 4 says too much etc ..

So on balance I don't think it's possible to make an objectively perfect format of resume that will always be more successful than a different format for any given job application.

Other variables like number of applications, personal connection with the people you talk to etc are possibly going to be more valuable to focus efforts on in a job search, once your resume is 'good enough'. Then expect to modify it to suit various people's preference if you are really interested in a specific role.

I don't think the threat model is comparable. Quote-mining is a problem for Google because it's an effective strategy between multinational companies wielding a hundred lawyers. On the other hand, if the government decides I'm a terrorist, they will "take care of" me, and they don't need some stinking search log to justify their action.

> It was owned in the sense that mattered. A governing body could make changes to the land or its use if it cared.

Not really. Often there was simply no entity that exercised executive function over the land or its use, which is a large part of why even plainly dysfunctional arrangements persisted.

The idea that there must be an owner to incentivise is modern and ahistorical. As traditionally conceived, the tragedy occurs not because "the owner" has the wrong incentives but because there simply isn't an owner. Pre-modern states didn't have the capacity to administer land in that kind of detail, even if they'd wanted to.
Replace the word 'tyrant' with the name of almost any major political player and it remains relevant. The corruption runs far beyond any individual.

It's been argued time and again, from one side that Facebook and Twitter are private companies and that free speech doesn't apply on their sites, and from another side that what we're talking about is an abstract principal of free speech, not the legal definition.

But if you remove the loaded term of "free speech", what's actually being discussed here is "website moderation policies". With that framing, what is the expectation for Facebook and Twitter? To devolve into 4chan?

Personally, I like well moderated sites. That's why I'm here! It's bizarre to me that so many other people who chose to spend their time here expect Facebook and Twitter to be laissez faire about moderation.

Yeah that's fair. The gender/race swapping is sort of a different thing I guess. By all means, diversity is good, but at the same time, I kind of rolled my eyes when seeing "Enola Holmes" show up on netflix. It's Sherlock Holmes, but a girl! Well technically his sister, but its more or less the same. Maybe its good, but I'm hesitant to watch something that's main thesis seems to be "Girls can be good detectives like Sherlock too". I don't want that. I want a story about a competent female detective that just does things her own way. Say, idk, Jessica Jones.

It's the difference between making a film about black Peter Parker vs. (black) Miles Morales for spider man. If they go for Miles, great, sounds like a good start. If they go for the former, you really have to wonder why, and how big of a deal its going to be. Being talked down to with drudgingly obvious and childishly simple messages about racial equality is annoying. It's so, so much better to demonstrate equality by having competent outcomes from a diverse cast.

GOP is talking big about Section 230 reform, but it is absurd on its face.

Prior to Section 230, if you censor ANY content (say, child pornography) then you are "moderating" the discussion and are liable for ALL content. If Twitter deletes a death threat tweet, why didn't they delete the defamatory tweet against Hunter Biden or whomever? Biden could sue. So Section 230 allows websites to delete the kiddie porn without becoming a "publisher" of everything that gets posted. Biden can sue the poster but not Twitter.

Reforming (weakening) 230 would force Facebook, Twitter, etc. to choose between allowing all content, and blocking anything that could be the basis for a lawsuit. Of course Facebook and Twitter are not going to become an 8chan free-for-all, so they would be forced to crack down harder, censoring much more aggressively.

Also far-right sites (e.g. InfoWars) very much do not want increased liability here.

So "230 reform" is a useful rallying cry for conservatives who feel censored (rightly or wrongly) by social media giants, but the idea is so obviously bad that I can't imagine they'll go beyond minor tweaks.
I’d argue that for the majority of founders, they’re both important - knowing someone gets you in the door, but having a compelling pitch and story (with the metrics to back it up, which assumes you’ve done the hard work to build a solid business) is what you need to get to a term sheet. Of course, there are always exceptions - like the extraordinarily well connected founder who’s had a successful prior exit might be able to raise purely on the basis of relationships and reputation.
Brave's business model is also about ads.
Ironically, at least half of the things that make Haiku awesome are buried deep inside its kernel rather than being anything directly to do with the desktop.

Also, the contrast between Haiku and Linux in my mind just points to the more fundamental difference between a design that says "you will do things this way, because this is better" (Haiku) and one that says "we'll give you a dozen ways to approach every problem because we're not into dictating optimum solutions, which may change over time anyway" (Linux). It's not that Linux can't replicate almost everything that Haiku gets right, it's more that it provides everything necessary to do 12 related things, on the same desktop.
>I think it would have been less work for them to be legit

I had the same conclusion when someone told me about the dozens of cheap/used Android devices they and their roommates used to get paid to "watch" ads. Apparently there are apps that will pay you for ads you watch, and you can babysit them pretty easily to make like..... $200/mo.
>The six figures reference may be a reflection of what the person in question is likely to be walking away from the deal with in terms of “money in their own pockets” as opposed to total money made available to them by Netflix for the purpose of making shows.

When I click the link "also in the six-figure-Netflix-deal club" it takes me to an article[1] titled "$100 MILLION CLUB: 7 Hollywood titans that Netflix, HBO, and others have signed 9-figure deals with during the battle for talent". So that second article correctly matches 9-figure with $100M. This tells me that the first article just has a typo, not that there's some sort of 1/1000 conversion factor for salaries. I have a hard time believing in a 1/1000 conversion factor for salaries without some source clearly explaining that.

Long-runners work to the extent that they are soap operatic and viewers can tune in for a single arc and feel happy. Look at manga and its various adaptations to screen for examples of how this plays out long term: While many successful books will get a "one cour" (12/13 episode season) TV anime treatment, enough to be an advertisement and depict some major scenes in abridged fashion, the most popular ones get the 100+ episode exhaustive adaptation. The vast majority of those are shonen battle series of the Dragon Ball Z mold. In those, expectations are set for each arc being relatively contained and focused on the development of a few characters or enlargement of the overall cast. The plots can be complex but usually not so much that you are relying on knowing the whole thing, because it will helpfully flashback that information in nearly every episode. And like a wrestling lineup, if one character has exhausted themselves and their development, you just sideline them and add a new one. The individual plot arcs can say something on their own but they work through an overall supporting framework and formula.

The stuff that's relying on being dense and literary, with an overall point being made, tends to need to get the job done within a few hours of runtime. 6-12 hours, like you say.

> at that point it's still sitting there mounted and they can read the file?

Yes, if someone has exec access into your container, they'll be able to see the secret, unless you do something like making the K8s secret an already encrypted blob, and then in process decrypting it again and reading it. If someone's got exec access to your container though, you've got bigger problems.

> Or do we just accept that you have to treat anyone with access to kubectl as authorised to know your private cert ?

You can set up access so that someone can login with Kubectl but still only be readonly, and you can preclude read ("get") access to secrets to the readonly role, so they won't be able to view the contents of the secret.

I'm not sure there's a sufficient difference between those things to make the point you're trying to make stick. There's a non-trivial amount of people in this country (and on this website, it seems) who think Trump is, literally not metaphorically, an agent of the Kremlin. Are those people a threat to democracy? I certainly don't think so. I think they're idiots, but I don't think they're literally threatening democracy.

>Injecting completely false information into the public discourse is a direct attack on democracy.

The line you are drawing here is very very close to accusing people who share false information of treason. Are we sure we want to walk up to that line? I'm not. I think it's frankly pretty silly. It's also interesting that you assume there is some neutral arbiter that can decide what is "real" and what is "true" and what is "fact" (all different things, btw).

>The only way democracy can work is if voters are making decisions based on real world information.

It's also interesting that you think this was ever the state of democracy, and not the status quo.
It's called scalable video coding. The source sends multiple streams of packets depending on their upstream, and the more streams you get the higher quality the resulting video. Each client can tell the server which streams they want to subscribe to, which are then picked apart and multiplexed per the needs of each receiving client.

You clearly do not use "creative" software. While you might draw from the internet to do video/audio work, ultimately the stuff happens in front of you, burning cycles on a machine directly connected to your keyboard (or, potentially, accessing some compute-server farm that is 1 IP hop away).
The difference here is that the older parts of the constitution have a very big impact on our lives today, and they're constantly being discussed/argued over. On the other hand, all the discourse around the new york post is about articles published recently. Accordingly, if a constitutional amendment was passed today, the amount of reverence towards it would be non-existent.
I turn my phone completely off at night. There's maybe a little bit of anxiety (what if there's an emergency and someone tries to call?) But then of course, they can't call because my phone is off and whatever the crisis is it will still be there in the morning.

When I wake up and have that urge to check my phone "real quick" to answer some insane question in the middle of the night, I remember that I have to wait while the thing boots up first, so I grumble, roll over, and go back to sleep.
Since the advent of Windows 10 ordinary people have gained the kind of virtual desktops that only wealthy Mac or tech-aware Linux users could have in the past (Win+Tab, new desktop at the top; Ctrl+Win+right arrow). Multiple clipboard copy/paste with a clipboard history (Win+V to paste). A running program history (Win+Tab and scroll down) to go back to them, and maybe to sync between devices when signed in with a Microsoft account. Ordinary programs reopen after a reboot, including things like Notepad coming back with unsaved file content. Windows' photo app on desktop does the same kind of image recognition and face recognition that smartphones do, enabling search-within-image. Windows tablet devices have handwriting recognition in basically any input box in any program

You do realize that natural selection iterates through these same sorts of garbage proteins at a rate of trillions and trillions of bacteria per year for millions of years?, and with bias toward previously existing functional structures? It's a pretty potent optimization process, given the timeframes and scale. and the uncertainty is enough. It isn't equivalent to that, because there can also be incremental progress made toward a functional protein, unlike code.
I don't think you are wrong. I would not dare to suggest there are easy answers here. My initial reaction was to attempt to argue that we are not, in fact a democracy, completely derailing the conversation in an attempt simply to 'win' an argument. I am oddly surprised with myself over this. There is no ego here. Nothing to prove. And yet, the need to be right on the internet prevails. This agrees with your note that humans are not rational.

I definitely agree that lying is effective. I agree that outrage machine is getting really annoying, but I also found a way to deal with it in an imperfect way. Stop consuming this information and, eventually, stop internalizing this overwhelming pile of crap that is shoved into our minds 24/7.

There is a reason we are a republic. There is a reason we protect ( or at least give lip service to protecting ) minority voices. And that's usually, because popular opinions don't need defenders. And I want those voices protected even if they are unpopular, ill-informed, dishonest, or even just lying.

The alternative is that we ban lying. Period. No cute ads that dance on the edge of misrepresentation. No white lies. You had a shitty day. Say so. No lie of omission. Your company uses child labor, disclose it in 10-k ( oi, all material facts should be available for investors ). No politician talk.

The Apple MacBook was March of 2015.

The Galaxy Note 5, released in August of 2015, used a MicroUSB port. I think we'd both agree that is a premium Android device, and clearly, "standardized on" USB-C did not happen "long before".

In fact, Android only introduced support for USB-C in 6.0, officially released in October 2015:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Software_support

So I'm quite sure your memory is faulty, on that one.

Given that the specification for USB-C was only finalized in August of 2014, I'm confident your statement about Windows laptops is equally off base.
