Not that I use Slack anymore, I use Discord at work...

I disagree with the details of this argument, the costs seem strawman ish. You quickly get used to writing styles, chat systems are an ongoing ecosystem and you adapt quickly.

What I would suggest is to try and make your messages self contained with context. Avoid private messaging and ask things on open channels, too much information is hidden away in private messages. Even if your question is really for a specific person. Seeing conversations helps build narratives and context for teams.

>>Money laundering (obfuscating the source of money)

No, that is not the definition of money laundering. It does not broadly criminalize efforts to maintain financial privacy.

Money laundering means hiding the source of illegally obtained money.
Anecdata, but I find Discord great if you're dealing with a big group of people that need to be moderated; it's got great tooling for that. There's multiple access levels, permissions, etc. exactly geared for that. When you're dealing with a trusted, invite-only group, you don't need many (if any) moderation features. Then, Slack shines for its ability to have organized, opt-in discussion. I really hate that you can't leave text channels on Discord.

I've been trying to move friend groups more towards Slack and it's been a huge improvement over group texts / Facebook chat / etc.

(of course, for our gaming group, discord voice chat is still superb. But, we only use it once a week and all the rest of our chatter/discussion happens in our new Slack team)
This is always a business decision, imo.

It's similar to publishing on medium (or Huffpost, from a few years ago) as opposed to your blog. You'll get more reach in the former case, but have much less control. For that matter, it's similar to serverless vs code everything and host it in a server on a rack somewhere.

Engineering is all about the tradeoffs.

So, how would I make that call? I'd think about how much it mattered to have control of the auth experience vs the easier onboarding of customers. I'd think about the risks of having the auth yanked out from under me (I'm not aware of any cases where this happened). I'd think about the value add of auth to my app; in most cases it's slim to none. I'd also look at what the auth provider allowed me to know about the user when they deliver an authenticated user to my application.

I think in general auth isn't a huge differentiator for most applications, and offloading it to a social provider, as long as a chunk or most of the target market has an account (github for devs, linkedin for sales folks, google for, well, people with an email address), is a good choice.

Don't forget, you can provide both; I've worked at companies with only social login, but don't think that's very common.

Disclosure, I now work for a company which provides auth software (link in my bio).
> IKEA does have some solid-wood stuff.

The majority of their catalogue items are actually solid wood, the particleboard items are the minority.

But by sales volume, it's very much the other way around, which gives you the wrong impression about what they actually offer.
Discord is an order of magnitude better. It challenged the rigid voice chat where text chat was a secondhand feature, where voip was unreliable, and where a sense of community was lacking. It cultivated all of that.
Now you see streamers, gamers, and groups of friends making Discords for their communities.

In both cases, we don't know how much we don't know. The abuses of both that we aren't aware of are hard to account for, so I don't see there being a clear answer to this matter.

In this case Face/Touch ID represents something you have (the iOS device with a persisted credential in its secure enclave), and something you are (fingerprint/face).
Those tools tell you if you comply with some persons style choices, and maybe catch a few potential problems. That says close to nothing about cleanliness or correctness. They're for internal use, not for making external measurements of code.
I wish Slack had better portability of custom emoji. There's no blessed API for adding/exporting emoji.
* "serverless" aka no IP grabbing and doxx

* voice + chat (with emojis, images, videos) + easy desktop sharing

that's all I guess, no other software did offer that.

Well, all electronic computers all the way back to the Mark II have had unconditional branches (jumps) and conditional branches: I guess you're strictly correct that "while loops" aren't technically primitives, but conditional branches are and the only reason you'd ever use one is to perform the equivalent of an if or a while.
Huh. I'm quite familiar with the banking side of AML having worked at one. But I was completely unaware of this.
I think such cases are interesting.

One result is that the allegation got investigated here: HN isn't just regurgitating the news, its readers are making news. Sometimes, misinformation is the result of an honest confusion. Better to discuss it out in the open, than cover it up.

The other result is that it's a teaching moment for people who have incomplete understanding of related licensing issues.

David Korn explains what happened here:

c) Under Solaris and HP-UX, ksh88 is installed in /usr/bin/ksh, ksh93 is installed in /usr/dt/bin/dtksh, but the default shell is the "Posix" shell, a superset of ksh. Is there any hope of getting this mess straightened out?

"c) Since ksh88 is not fully POSIX compliant, some system vendors have modified ksh88 to make it compliant and used that for their POSIX shell. One way to clean up this mess is to get all the vendors to move to ksh93. ksh93 has a single source that compiles on all systems from pc,'s mac's, unix systems, and mainframes. I have no say over what vendors do, but users on these systems certainly can state their preferences."

...

# ls -la `which ksh`
-r-xr-xr-x 2 bin bin 186356 Jul 16 1997 /usr/bin/ksh

A lot of effort was made to keep ksh88 small. In fact the size you report on Solaris is without stripping the symbol table. The size that I am getting for ksh88i on Solaris is 160K and the size on NetBSD on intel is 135K.

ksh88 was able to compile on machines that only allowed 64K text. There were many compromises to this approach.

Learning of (keyword of) concepts and ideas is fun but the reason schools exist is because most learning is a grind. Learning to draw well, learning a language, learning an instrument, and even learning math and logic require going through the grind of learning and repetition.

The grind is only harder if you don't have a good book or teacher because the practice you do could potentially be actively harmful (or useless).

Exploring is fun for children and adults. Being exposed to new things is always interesting. The grind is the hard part.
>at casual amateur levels you can overcome natural disadvantages by training harder and playing smarter.

no, it is just a feel good fairy tale. You're missing the point - amount of oxygen defines your speed/endurance/etc that you can reach. It is basic law of physics. Put a gas mask on and narrow the pipe half or even just a quarter - no amount of training will help you overcome that. I was an amateur boxer - 4th at University 30 years ago - so i'm not just armchair talking.

For the last decade i've been running and hiking regularly and there recently was a deep in my performance - pushing harder didn't work, it was just like hitting glass ceiling - which got corrected once i saw the anemia and corrected it with supplements. Did i instead have to accept the low level of performance, accompanied by easily setting fatigue, etc. just for sake of "naturalcy"? And if I to run some competition should I stop the supplements and try to run with anemia?

>No one realistically expects a level playing field.

exactly. So why wouldn't we try to to level it as much as possible. Wouldn't it make the competition more honest as it would allow to win the ones who train harder and play smarter than the ones who just accidentally got better DNA?

Indeed. There are dozens if not hundreds of people consistently working on decentralized tools that fit the current laws/social climate. Not even China can fully centralize the actual internet, so what hope does anyone else?
Cargo cult is an early stage of development, this is evolved to the point of having a logic of its own.

It might just be a matter of boilerplate. The permissions and usernames are (in code, in legalese, etc) may be tied to the concept of a signup. They might have investors, advisors or whatnot asking about weekly registration trends or somesuch. They may have a regulator, and the regulator assumes that you have info.

Even banks are increasingly getting regulator-ish. You may need to produce a "know-your-customer" policy.

Activists struggling to reform a local police department doesn't seem like great evidence that it's easier to reform something like the FBI.

Lance Armstrong and his Postal teammates routinely did blood doping during the Tour de France. They smuggled frozen blood in a hidden compartment and arranged secret transfusions in hotel rooms. All the sordid details are in "The Secret Race" by Tyler Hamilton.

They're referring to the default notification settings that admins can set. Annoyingly, the Discord default (when you create a new server) is "All Messages" and not "Only @mentions". Sometimes I find another server still on "all messages" for some reason.

You are slightly improving as a person. I did not expect that. To respect your personal growth, I'll retire this account.

In the case example that you linked, I find it disappointing that you still do not read entire threads. The original article is a Wikipedia article with many authors. The original comment, which critiques either Wikipedia or Baumol & Bowen's original study, includes the summary:

> So - this is simply a bad, ignorant example. It's not just wrong, it's flagrantly, wildly, outrageously misinformed, and is based on an almost total lack of insight into an industry that is worth $146 million a year - of which around $90 million is income from streaming.

My comment concludes with the line:

> This is a bad, ignorant example. Not just wrong, but flagrantly, wildly, outrageously misinformed.

I understand that you object to when we (those who know of the Prime Directive) hold a mirror up to HN. It is embarrassing to imagine how other people must see us, knowing how we see other people. However, that does not mean that we should stop looking at ourselves in the mirror.

Oh, and finally, have a happy Halloween.
You don't need to replace historic Victorian and Edwardian houses necessarily, although its one option. Instead you can extend zoning in areas like SOMA to allow much larger buildings there where there aren't as many people already living there and most of the structures aren't nice historic houses. This is exactly what they've done. San Francisco has a whole area of very tall residential skyscrapers in various stages of completion as well as the tallest building on the west coast (the Salesforce Tower) as part of a new transit hub.

Many of the schools are great. Sorry if your school district is bad. There are excellent schools in many areas. Cupertino, most of the Peninsula, Berkeley have some really great ones.

My coworkers for a decade took public transit more often than not. You live in the suburbs if you think 5% of the population takes BART or Muni to work. Plus many people walk or bike.

I've walked all over San Francisco so if you don't find it walkable its on you. Grab an electric scooter, a bike share, an electric skateboard, some rollerblades, or one of those uniwheel things and the hills won't be so bad if you can't handle walking them. The Mission has more streets of great walkability with restaurants and small businesses everywhere than almost anywhere in America.

Perhaps the fact that you don't even know about the BART expansion should be the warning sign that you don't really follow Bay Area transit very closely. Ironic that you ask if I have ever actually lived in San Francisco. Yes I have. Trying to act like the government is so incompetent that they can't open a station when they just opened Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose stations on June 13 says more about your lack of attention to local issues than it does about their urban planning. They also built 7,000 nearby housing units. Its actual transit-first development as they've been doing in SF for years.

I've met more people in junior roles get rich in the Bay Area from equity than would ever be possible by trying to live in the cheapest possible place with minimal opportunities such that your expenses are a slightly lower percentage of your take-home pay as a new graduate. If you did an entry level job at Twilio you're probably a millionaire now. People get promoted significantly faster in the Bay Area due to the number of fast growing companies and the pay, which started out higher, grows that much more every year due to promotions, larger cost of living increases, etc.

So sure make your money and leave. Don't try to improve things you don't like, just complain about them. Go somewhere new and find out all the issues there that you didn't realize including several of the ones I brought up here. Learn what a truly unwalkable place is like.
I wonder how many people (as a percentage) use monero "correctly" enough that they can remain anonymous even when faced with the resources of a nation-state hacking team. I'd wager it's single digit percentages at most and even that is pretty high.
I was homeschooled until the age of around 10, and then my family adopted a new approach called "lifestyle of learning", which is just another way of saying "unschooling".

Basically, I was allowed to skip schoolwork, as long as I was doing something productive.

I hated schoolwork, so I started spending all my spare time tinkering with stuff on the computer. I wasn't allowed to play video games (since they aren't productive), but I was allowed to BUILD video games. I was also allowed to build web sites and do programming.

By the age of 13, I was doing contract web development work, and by the age of 16, I was employed full time at a local web development company.

My parents wouldn't let me get a drivers license and car until I had at least passed the GED, so I spent a couple of months cramming for it by studying a 2 inch thick book about how to pass the GED. I passed it without too much trouble (I think I got a 98% in math, if I remember correctly).

My career has developed across multiple companies over the last 20 years, and I'm currently making around $150K a year as a software engineer. I never did go to college.

They took "unschooling" even further with my younger brother. He didn't even learn how to read until he was around 10. He ended up having to cram for his GED to get a drivers license, too. He ultimately ended up getting a job as a waiter, then as bank teller, then put himself through college and got a degree. He now owns a house worth around $400K and has a career as a software engineer at the banking company that initially hired him as a teller.

TL;DR: "Unschooling" worked for my family because they combined it with at least a base of traditional education.
Well, it's only a dystopia if you want freedom over prosperity.

Turns out, most people want prosperity and the only reason they actually want freedom is because they're afraid lack of freedom blocks their attempts at prosperity.

The internet doesn't (yet) actually interfere with freedom in this sense, so few people care, and I suspect many of them are on this forum.
> hopefully their community would rise up and vote with their feet (just as you would today if a rogue moderator got trigger-happy with /ban)

This doesn't tend to happen though, in communities offline or online. My own experience (particularly in online communities) is that once groups achieve a certain momentum, the average participant in the group cares very little about policies that impact a tiny minority of users no matter how draconian they are.

If it were true in general that people would "vote with their feet" we wouldn't have autocrats in positions of power or much injustice in the world at all.

I love Matrix and have been running my own Synapse instance for friends and family for years -- I appreciate all the work that has gone into it. And further, I appreciate that this is a challenging problem to solve in general, and that you're unfortunately being forced to come up with "lesser evil" solutions to counter all of this talk of E2E encryption being the "tradecraft of terrorists and child pornographers".

I'm just deeply disappointed to see it -- social credit styled systems like this penalize people for having bad mental health days, or who have unusual interests or points of view, or who are LGBTQ+, or belong to some other vulnerable minority group, and I think generally have a chilling effect on communities -- or rather on these specific subcultures within those communities, clearly not all of whom are "bad faith" actors.
