I feel that HN is reasonably amenable to discussing direct relationships between technology, policy and society. Folks that were here when GDPR got off the ground likely remember quite a bit of the discussion was left untouched and i think we collectively did ok.

However it doesn’t seem that humans have figured out how to effectively navigate our differences in the more ideological aspects of governance on a forum like this. Just think of how many times in a personal conversation you are happy to respond with nothing more than a ‘yes, but why?’ vs the same topic being discussed on HN or reddit? Or how much more information is exchanged in the ambience of that moment vs words on a page (and it’s still difficult). Online it’s nearly impossible and what you’re left with are echo chambers and vollies of insults.

For my part I appreciate the wet blanket thrown on those types of conversations on HN. I just haven’t seen them yield fruit elsewhere and i appreciate the harbor.
Idk if it is that simple. Right also often refers to pro-capitalism, pro-business, low taxes.

In 2010, left-leaning media agencies would post left-friendly news and not post right-friendly news. And right-leaning media agencies would post right-friendly news and not post left-friendly news.

In 2020, left-leaning media posts left-friendly news, and doesn't post right-friendly news.

It's not equivalent.
> They may not be raising specifically 230 concerns. But democrats are absolutely bringing up anti-trust concerns regarding major tech company.

My comment that you replied to says that democrats in the house have been bringing up anti-trust concerns. Anti-trust and 230 regulation are two separate things done for different reasons. They are not equivalent actions nor do are they being pursued out of the same concerns. Trying to conflate them is wrong.
I think the only flaw here is that while it may be trivial to get raw data from say fossil, any major multi-department retailer (Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, B&H...) is not going to be this easy.

Prices are competitive information, at least competitive enough to warrant obfuscation and preventing scraping.

And, the more sources you have, the more likely things will constantly fail. Scraping is always fragile.

One of the first web-scraping projects I ever built was to find the lowest price for Clif bars. I ate about 365 per year, and in only 45 minutes of programming a cron job and push notifications, I easily saved $100 that year.
> possibly faked or hacked emails

What gives you the impression that this is the case? Hunter Biden's receipts from the computer repair shop are public for this too. I think bias might be clouding your judgement.

EDIT: Because HN isn't even allowing me to reply to the comment by user heartbreak, I will just edit this here:

He was NOT impeached for bribing Ukraine into fabricating exactly this sort of story. He was impeached because the democrats didn't want Biden's crimes exposed. “When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime you’re being ruled by criminals” - Edward Snowden

The emails came from Hunter Biden’s laptop that he dropped off to get fixed. He never came back to get it therefore it became property of the shop. They spent money fixing it, waited for him to pick it up, he didn’t so by the terms of the agreement the shop owned it. All Hunter had to do is pay $85 and pick up his laptop. The NYT published illegally obtained tax returns of Trump. Why weren’t they censored?
Right, this is a good data point in favor of the argument that it's unwise to extrapolate too much from midterm races for the general.
“nothing to do with Mozilla Corporation or the Firefox browser” is a little strong

“Firefox is maintained by the Mozilla Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation” https://donate.mozilla.org/en-US/faq/
You're vastly underselling the value of mobile internet in 2002 (and through the period up until the iPhone launch in 2007).

Email was (and still is) the killer app, and it worked great. Instant messaging worked great - and at the time, Maxis (where I worked) ran on AOL IM the way people use Slack now. Danger's web browser actually worked through a proxy that chopped up pages and served them in a reduced format, which was effective in 2002 but was a liability by 2007. You could even edit your contacts online with full syncing!

The Hiptop was popular and "quality of the integration" was better than anything Apple had produced right up until the iPhone. However, by 2007 the data networks had gotten fast enough that the Hiptop's web browser was feeling a bit antiquated, and navigating web pages with a scroll wheel was cumbersome. The capacitive touchscreen was a major leapfrog, and coming up with all the UI behaviors to leverage that was a major feat - Apple deserves a lot of credit! But maybe not quite as much credit as the OP suggests.
Have you tried the "functional medicine" approach to treating heartburn?

The theory is: instead of "too much stomach acid" being the problem, sometimes it's "too little stomach acid". Age, medications, and infections may all lead to reduced stomach acid production, which leads to unwanted fermentation and impaired digestion of carbohydrates in the stomach, which increases the production of gas, which increases intra-abdominal pressure, which causes the lower esophageal sphincter to malfunction and let the little acid that is left travel up into the esophagus, where it irritates the lining and can cause symptoms like you describe.

Might be worth looking into. A simple way to test this theory would be to get a "Betaine HCL with Pepsin" supplement and take it with meals to see if that helps. Do not try this if you have ulcers or other issues with the integrity of your stomach lining.

I only mention it because this approach cured my persistent heartburn and sore throat issues, after various PPIs worked for a bit and then failed. Conventional medicine is great, but why they continue to recommend PPIs for chronic GERD cases is a mystery to me. The stomach is meant to be acidic - the goal should not be to neutralize the acid.

Good luck!
I found a few anecdotes on reddit about how a user had “withdrawals”. I’ve used bottles of the stuff, have randomly run out and not re-ordered for months/years, and never noticed any withdrawal symptoms. If you have any studies, I’d be interested, but I think this is just reddit lore at this point.

The 1126 MJ / kwh given at https://www.mdpi.com/2313-0105/5/2/48 puts it at about 312 charge cycles.

says>"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?"

Let me rephrase that for you (with a mind toward a court case):

" 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, while working for Cisco/Webex, they worked out all the bugs and now know how to write the software right?"

Nail in the fscking coffin, Dude! Cisco is going to own Zoom (literally and figuratively).
I know this will get attacked for the source but this summarizes it well. There's numerous other examples too:

I'm highly skeptical of those figures, and considering that there are trillions of dollars of corporate interest wanting grid storage and electric cars to fail, maybe you should be too.
>>but now they've gone and infused it with a bunch of power it didn't have prior.

I don't know. I think the people that are going to believe these kinds of stories at face value would have found this story on their own regardless. It is not like the NY Post is some obscure paper. It may make this story stronger with those that are already inclined to believe this stuff.

I think by this time people have already made their decision on whom they are going to vote and they will use any story that agrees with their decision as proof that they are right.
What are you on?

The right wing media has been manufacturing bullshit for 4 years, and allowing the President to gaslight the public that it's the left wing that is fake news, and somehow in the last 6 months hackernews started to eat the bullshit?

Witchhunt stories about Child Pornography Pizza Parlors is fake news.
Stories that are inconvenient to the Republican leadership is not fake news.

I can't tell what is going on with this Hunter Biden story because the NY Post abandoned all journalistic credibility since it's been owned by Rupert Murdoch, so maybe there's something there.

But other than this story, the right wing media has been allowed to spread and perpetuate aggressively dangerous misinformation for YEARS on these platforms without repercussions.

Before you downvote me, read https://www.thedailybeast.com/man-who-reportedly-gave-hunter... and tell me if this story of conservatives finally getting SOME resistance to the spread of lies and bullshit should incite any sympathy from any logically-minded person on HN.

It wasn't obvious until a few years ago that high pressure supercomputing was a thing at all.

The Folly and the Value of Gal Gadot as Cleopatra
The political machine is more sophisticated than using a public image. If anything it looks like an iCloud hack. Last week was a top HN article about finding an XSS vulnerability in iCloud. Not unreasonable to assume Biden’s crackhead sons iCloud was owned by operatives. Especially since the subject is a main topic of Trumps impeachment.
Today, the distinction between hardware and software is murky. Hardware can't even be tested without co-development of software. Even making these things happen in separate departments of the same business, by people who eat lunch together, is inefficient when trying to move fast and create new things. I often have hardware and software development tools open on my computer at the same time.
> After all, it stands to reason that the open source browser would be funded by the non-profit Mozilla entity, not the for-profit Mozilla entity.

Why would that stand to reason? Firefox makes Mozilla money (through search provider sponsorship), and therefore needs to be a company to receive that revenue. Nothing else Mozilla does makes them money, and therefore nothing else they do needs to be a company. What would you imagine the Mozilla Corporation exists to do, if not to make money from Firefox (and then plow that money back into Firefox development)?
I paid for Netscape back in the day and I’d pay quite a bit annually for Firefox or some other browser. But people are used to not paying for browsers and I’m not very convinced most or maybe not even enough people would.
The reason you stumble upon youtube videos that make you uncomfortable is because we have a free and open web where anyone can publish whatever they want (except the most extreme content such as terrorism how-tos).

I don't see how this Mozilla tool could ever contribute to making the web more free and more open; in fact it seems to be designed by activists to make the web _less_ free and _less_ open.

I don't think any ATS will actually "reject" a resume on any grounds. HOWEVER, what really is the difference between "reject" and "ignore"?

I think what essentially happens is that resumes get ranked and high priority indicated factors (like a lack of Bachelor's Degree for example) will cause a resume to end up so low in the stack that it essentially doesn't exist. I know that when my company puts up a job posting we get over 100 resumes the first day. We might look through the top 30-40 resumes a day. While the other 70 resumes haven't officially been "rejected", they effectively are, since they will never see human eyes. Maybe companies with fewer applications go through every resume, but every company I have worked at gets more resumes than a single hiring manager can realistically go through, especially if they have other responsibilities (like running their department). So the ATS ranks them and we look at 30ish per day. Manually upvoting or favoriting the ones we read that we like.

The myth/rumor that certain factors get rejected by the ATS is effectively true. Rejected might not be the correct term. But "buried" could be more appropriate. But the idea that they aren't going to be considered by humans is effectively true at large organizations that get lots of applicants.
I don't know the difference, and I'm not being snarky (honest). Is Canada easier or harder?
That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

Judging from the lack of announcement, it seems Apple has yet crossed the 1 Billion iPhone users threshold. ( May be they did but held back due to pandemic ) i.e The user growth is slowing, or reached ceiling.

4.5B people have a smartphone. Most of them are on at least 3rd or 4th Smartphone with plenty of chargers lying around. So it would only effect a tiny percentage ( I am willing to bet less than 5% ). So it is not a bad move from environment perspective.

Of coz I wish Apple had at least bundled a high power charger for a few generation before they moved on. But I am ok with the new pricing reduction of their charger. ( $19 )

If you're interested and feel you would be a good fit, please email me your work experience and examples of your work to bj@funnelrolodex.com
Cisco have had nine years to own Zoom for this IP theft you allege. It's not going to happen.
I think the other points are that the laptop had pictures of Hunter Biden, the FBI allegedly confiscated the laptop, and that Hunter Biden's lawyer didn't deny that it was Hunter's.
> None of the other steps will do you any good if you don't have a successful business.

This sounds wise, but is not true when applied to VC funding.

If you have a very, very successful business, then you don't need VC.

But if you build something successful that has moderate revenue, you just proved it's not worth the VC's time.

Starting sales can be the kiss of death for a startup that really wants funding.
Temperature was one way to change the properties to enable superconductivity, pressure now being another.

So in effect we have shifted the - can we get superconductivity at room temperature towards - can we get superconductivity at room temperature and pressure.

Whilst many will view the whole advance here is not going to make nice long wires, it does show that for some small devices, there is another avenue beyond changing just the temperature.
I think the point is that those activities are clearly "black hat", while astroturfing isn't inherently illegal. (well, maybe in some jurisdictions it is. I seem to recall that the UK has much stricter "truth in advertising" laws than the US)

It all exists on a spectrum though, and we can disagree on where the line for black hat is drawn, with no one being wrong because it's a matter of opinion.
The safest bet is it changes nobody's opinion. If you're left leaning, you've drowned out Trump's repeatedly false statements --or become numb to them-- no October surprise will have an effect on you. If you're right leaning, this furthers your perspective that Clinton and Deep State are up to no good. Nobody comes across content like this without an existing world view to inspect it, and the lines have been drawn a long time ago.

At the top of the article, "Free Speech will Save Democracy" is displayed in a large headline font --- and hovering over it, is a warning box: "Disputed by 3rd party fact checkers. Learn why this is disputed below". Clever and perhaps overly gimmicky, sure. But I found the whole article to be a very thoughtful treatment of a very complex issue.

This article seems to assume we'd convert the compressed air to electricity, but I could think of a bunch of applications that could use mechanical air power instead.

Is this censorship? My understanding is they held it for review, that just seems responsible? Also it seems like the NY Post article is highly suspect, so again, this seems responsible. Especially given echoes of a previous email "bombshell" that proved to be absolutely nothing after the damage was done? I just don't know what people want, they want FB to stop misinformation, but not step on anyone's speech? Also I see lots of cries this is partisan, but not seeing many credible examples, so if you're going to what-about on this please give sources. This thread is filled with claims of double standards and no links.

Not all computers are connected to the Internet.

In many high-security environments, the computers cannot be connected to the outside world. And yet those computers are still necessary and useful.

Many of us were using computers before the Internet became popular and they were still very useful despite their limitations.

Everything that matters is not online. Many businesses and government agencies have data that they would never want disclosed, let alone available on the Internet.
