I will drill deeper into the documentation during the weekend, but if Mitchell is still around I have a few questions about how this might work for some apps I'm building.

1. Is there ECS support for Fargate, specifically, and how does waypoint exec (for a shell) work if Fargate is supported? We hacked a bastion container together using SSM remote activation, and it feels so brittle.

2. If I want to deploy multiple versions of my app into the same VPC is that possible? My use case is having 1 giant VPC/RDS that multiple app/feature versions will take a slice off and use. Rather than setting up a VPC + all services per staging/feature environment.

3. Is there support for dynamic URLs using native cloud tools? For example, I'd love to use ALB auto-provisioned certs and carve off dynamic URLs on a subdomain.

Thanks :)

This directly contradicts what the article says. The FAQ item is dated September 2019. The Reddit article is 9 hours old as I write in October 2020.

The followup here, strongly suggests other un-related people have been called, even cold-called, and offered by people puporting to be glassdoor, to wipe the problem.

I agree you aren't offering an opinion and I value that. I would also value some commentary to my note: What do people think, about what people said on reddit, and said here, regarding this, and what glassdoor said in September 2019?

I know what I think: I do not believe this policy is well enforced, and I believe the posters who say they were invited to pay to clear their record. You notice they do not have "report breach here" links on that FAQ item. They do disclaim it has legal force.

It may of course be unscrupulous non C* staff, or it may be intermediaries mis-representing their role, e.g. SEO leeches.

I don't want to ban you! I'd rather try to persuade you to make your points without sharp elbows. Others also do bad things (for example, I can see how https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24772044 was a provocation) - but that it doesn't make it ok to escalate; we just get a downward spiral that way. Rather, we each need to spend the energy and time needed not to escalate. That creates capacity to then respond neutrally with good points. This strengthens the commons rather than damaging it—and as a bonus, your comments become more persuasive.

"Free speech" means different things to different people and depending on what one wants, there are different tradeoffs. On HN, we're trying to optimize for interesting speech, i.e. curious conversation: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... That means we have to moderate people away from being nasty to each other. I don't think that's "intolerance of free speech", because HN's guidelines leave lots of room for arguing most views.

pg had a much lower threshold for banning people than we do, FWIW.

If you're not persuaded, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24620683 is an explanation I wrote recently which makes the same points I'm trying to make here and gives more examples. It also links to other comments on the same. The point is that smart people often come here with a combative model of how to do intellectual discussion that actually works well in smaller, more cohesive communities. The reason we don't allow it here is not because we think it's bad in itself, but because it doesn't translate well into HN's context—here it's just a recipe for tedious flamewar.
>If you have family, work from home is great. But if you're single, staying cooped up alone at home can be a disaster.

I like the break from my family. I didn't get it during WFH. Enjoying being back in the office now.

It's all just different strokes.

Having some companies that choose to go all in on remote gives those people who it suits them some options and for those of us who prefer WFO we know to avoid those companies.

It's polarizing, so I think it's good if companies kinda just go one way or the other.
Two things I wish this had,

1) A "I'm finished humming" button

2) A way to tell Google what song I just hummed when it guessed wrong

It failed for me on "Sofia" and "Peter and the Wolf" -- maybe this only works for recently popular songs?
My Turkish isn't great but, iyi ki dogdun translates to "good thing you were born" which always amused me. Happy birthday is more like "dogum gunun kutlu olsun" (something like, may your day of birth be celebrated). It's always fun to see how language gets worked with to fit a certain melody.

There's a lot of functionality, but all of it is clunky as hell. Connecting to the camera is a PITA, the apps on the camera (at least my a6300) are slow as molasses.

I updated the -- again, full featured, but clunky -- remote app earlier and had to enter my account information using the camera 4-way stick, one letter at a time, as if it's 1995.

Edit -- forgot the best part: during the update, the camera locked up displaying "Updating, do not turn off". Lovely. (I turned it off -- removed the battery --, it still works.)
I wonder how the calculus plays out.

You could be local but within "commuting distance" of the office, which could include Sacramento, Tracy, etc. for an SF office. I think you could get a 2BR in Sac for the price of a studio in SF.

We might also see some exodus from the Bay Area, which would put a downward pressure on tech salaries till they hit some equilibrium.

I also wonder what enforcement mechanisms exist short of an IRS audit to make sure you're actually "local" and not in a cheap cabin in North Dakota. Employers could monitor corp traffic, but I wonder if it's actually worth the cost to enforce and they'll just go by honor code.
Detecting the presence of these transmuted elements should be much easier to replicate than trying to characterize "excess" heat, right? And the next step would be to try and find out what isotope of the transmuted elements was? Anyone know how much deuterium costs?

I'm a very musically challenged person, people usually don't recognize when I'm humming a song they like for them, and it used to really infuriate me.

So, I bought SoundHound 8+ years ago in a Google Market promotion offering several apps for pennies (10c, I guess?). Tried it without much hope and damn it, it worked well. Sometimes it goofed, but truth be told, it may be my problem.

Also, it had the ability to identify covers in a crowded bar, or non-playback live versions. Shazam, which was very popular at the time, admittedly couldn't do any of that - in their FAQ (which I could not find right now) they even told that if Shazam recognize a live version, it must be either a playback or a player with microsecond precision repeatability.

To call this "the left" is ridiculous. What you're talking about is the "multicultural mainstream", the neoliberal center.

Essentially, it's the ideology of those major corporation that want to ban all sexist and racist discourse because this sort of thing makes it harder for teams of people scattered about the world to work together. It's an ideology that's still OK with tremendous wealth disparities but which want those disparities to not be reinforced chauvinistically.

The idea of expressing 15 minutes as 0.25 is useful. “Imperative time” is a terrible name and I suspect the product of some misunderstanding or translation error. There should be a slider button and it should say “6 min/0.1 hrs” or similar.
For a lot of people for a lot of applications and tools, this level of sync isn't all that necessary though. If you are working on something yourself and not as part of a team then the age-old save-document-and-reopen-elsewhere method could work as well as it ever did. You don't have to have it open on your phone, laptop, desktop, and fire stick all at the same time with immediate sync. Have your offline documents on each machine, automatically back them up to "the cloud". If you edit one in two places because of disconnection issues then do a manual merge like we did in the old days (hopefully it won't happen often enough to be that much of a pain). In version 2+ of your product, once the base features are proven viable (and for commercial use, profitable), start to worry about automatic sync/merge/other with a granularity smaller than a whole document.

A lot of offline-first efforts are trying to solve every possible use case from day one, from single person with a laptop to huge international teams all working on the same asset at the same time and everything in between & beside, and in that direction madness lies. Implementing a useful, viable, relatively minimal product, and expanding its capabilities later would make more sense, though of course that suggestion is immediately countered by fears that the next clone of the idea will implement something first and be crowned king leading the thought process back to "must do it all, must do it all now".
> Having many users should not suddenly mean you don't own the site

You continue to own it, but that does not mean you can do arbitrary things to your users. That's precisely how things work for utilities. You can do whatever with your private road or power generator. But if you're providing essential services to the masses then eventually universal service, non-discrimination and neutrality rules come into play.

If doctors coordinate their covid response over facebook groups, elon musk makes stock-affecting announcement over twitter and the police sends out warnings via twitter than they're taking on the role of a public communication provider.

You could argue that it's a free service and you're not a customer as you're with a utility. But on the other hand you're paying with your data and attention.

> Removing the liability shield for sites that moderate will destroy either the site or the moderation, and either way the usefulness of the site comes to an end.

You're assuming that there is no way to adapt to the new rules. Separation of platform services and moderation would be one. Would it work? Maybe not and you could be right and communities would be destroyed. Or maybe it would result in more Bloggers, Wordpresses and Signals.

> Make a new network that puts control in the hands of the users in the way you envision, and test it to see how well it works.

Regulation is a valid approach though? I'm not saying that the FCC is intending to do good here, just that I can can imagine a hypothetical well-intentioned version of what they're doing.

> That angle is why Section 230 was created in the first place, and why it should remain intact.

Let me rephrase, I find it concerning that it could specifically empower the entrenched players while harming the smaller ones. Requiring an army of moderators when you want to create a global communication platform on the one hand but impose your preferred corporate image (and be it just to remain attractive to advertisiers) on all participants then I am not feeling all that sympathetic.
And this isn't just about communication in the narrow sense. The controversy around the apple app store is in a similar vein. On the one hand they pretend that they act as a simple market facilitator, a platform. On the other hand they categorically ban certain categories of legal software because it goes against their corporate interests. Forcing them to choose between platform and publisher could result in either a smaller, carefully curated official apple store + sideloading or larger, more open default app store. Either outcome seems desirable to me.
You can absolutely make a request. If you are interested in the software, go ahead. However, the Freedom of Information Act only applies to records, and software is not always considered a record.

So Freedom of Information Act request will work if they're already predisposed to release the software, it's no guarantee.

As William Gibson claims to have never once said: Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.

When I got older, I got a lot better at telling people who I was, my limitations, and saying "No, I'm not going to do that. I don't care if you think that's a deal breaker, it will make me miserable for something you likely won't even notice."

And then the folks who were assholes made themselves painfully visible by not being willing to understand and work with me on mutually agreeable terms.

That was when my life got substantially better.
Seems like only a few groups tried to silence this because it was demonstrably fake news. Others are happy to play it up. This is more like the type of journalism that put Hitler into power than, say, the smear campaigns against Snowden.
> Why would the rules that govern the phone network make sense to apply to Wikipedia?

Because it is a platform? I don't see a problem with enforcing neutrality on platforms, in the same way that I don't see a problem with enforcing it on my phone company, or my ISP.

> Do you think HN would be a better place

I think the old school reddit model is a reasonable goal to aim for for these types of platforms.

(yes reddit has taken down some communities as of late, but lets assume that this didn't happen, to clarify the example)

IE, delegating moderation to users, but allowing communities in general to be created, with their own sets of rules, feels pretty fair and neutral.

> I still don’t understand what outcome you want for social media. How do you imagine it will look?

The model would be that any form of "moderation" on non-illegal content would be driven entirely by users, or communities of users.

IE, we can still allow people to do things like have shared block lists, or even curated communities within that platform, as long as other users are also able to create their own communities on that platform, that ignore those sets of rules.

Users could still make the choice to have certain rules, or moderation, if that is what they want.

Or, in other words, the reddit model, but without reddit removing non-illegal communities (which, to be fair, doesn't happen that often on reddit anyway. Reddit still mostly tries to be neutral, and they do an ok job with it)

EX: if a user doesn't want to see NSFW stuff, or trolling, or "misinformation", or any other offensive content, then there could be general categories, that describe those things, and the user can have that as a setting to not see that stuff.
>people who wish to do civil society harm
>a vanishingly small fraction
>never socially potty-trained

A facade of politeness & shaming, a reality of censorious rules. The encroach was slow, almost imperceptible, but here we are at last. The current state of the Twitter rules is impacting investigative journalism. Internationally recognized journalist Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept explains:

Look carefully at what Twitter is saying to justify censoring the Biden story. If applied consistently, it’d mean that some of history’s most consequential journalism — the Pentagon Papers, WikiLeaks’ war logs, Snowden docs, Panama Papers, our Brazil Archive — would be banned. [1]

Ceding the full power to the platforms has failed us.

> Most teaching is done by non-generalists -- be it in schools, on TV, in documentaries, in courtrooms.

So you believe K-8 teaching, the greatest amount of teaching by far globally in the modern era, is done by non-generalists? Who specializes in arithmetic (number theorists and spreadsheet wizards aside)? If you define “pedagogy” as a specialty, perhaps, but that’s not the generalist/specialist discussion here. Even high school teachers generally only require a Bachelor’s degree...two years of content study (Junior-Senior...first two years is general education) out of an adult lifetime of, say, 50 years. Any “working professional” in a discipline wouldn’t count that for much. The media and courtroom teaching...you’d have to expand that discussion a bit for me to believe it. Law school, media studies...well, that’s another matter.

It’s not that rare to contribute across multiple disciplines...the entire discipline of systems engineering is predicated on it.

BTW: Can anyone summarize the thesis? This isn’t a tl;dr situation. I’m too old to read articles that look like the argument, if any, hinges on semantics with evidence that is, at best, anecdotal. (Frankly, we all are.) And so I don’t.

PS: I really like the “>” indent style for quotations for block text in this UI.
Another solution is to store a URL and a integer score (so you can rank companies). The longest URL I was able to get through CloudFlare recently was about two thousand characters but most will be much smaller. If someone wants the review taken down they can talk to whomever is hosting the content. Tweets, Medium articles, Facebook posts etc could hold the review content itself. Want to take down 5 unfavorable reviews, then write 5 letters to 5 different companies.
