The president (who presumably is also the chairman) was the only "non-staffer" on the committee and thus almost certainly had full responsibility already.

The rest of the board should ask for his resignation.
It's just Andy Terrel who's in both, right? That's not a huge amount of overlap. Enough to potentially cause a problem, but 6 members of the board being different (and a whole lot of public backlash) should probably be enough to resolve this.
I don't get why anyone believes that owning an idea is more abstract that owning a house. I can easily "open" any door with an ax and/or battery-driven grinder. Ownership is a legal construct of a society, meant to incentivese certain behaviours. It comes with both good and bad. This is true both for houses (inner cities are monopolized by the rich) as for software (key technologies being monopolized by few companies).
But that market exists, we can all hop online and buy counterfeit goods today. The difference between the van and Best Buy is customer service -- with BB I can return the item in a week if I don't like it, claim warranty, etc., and with the van I can't. Meanwhile, I've gotten better service from private tracker staff than any streaming service.
> A lot of the program seems to have rested on subsidies and incentives, which are nice ways of saying you're relying on a profit or investment motive.

I mean that's just an implementation issue. To scale fast at that time, the government paid already existing corporations to build but kept ownership of the completed buildings. The point is that it's still a state venture and the profit motive/investment, "free market", was essentially suspended. So without this kind of government program the market, because of profit/risk/investment motives, won't build this.

There's always two sides to extensibility. One the one hand, you have the opportunity to do it your way. On the other, you have to do it. The extreme of extensibility is always an empty file. You get to pick the language and the architecture and everything!
i am really looking for an ai service which is able to detect signatures and threads out of email messages and extract the „real new message“ part - does anyone know some tool?
This feels like voter disenfranchisement to me. For an example, I don't "approve" of any candidates in our current presidential election. I'm simply going to vote for what I think is best, strategically. If I had to say who I "approved of" (and took the words literally) I would vote no-one. I suppose I would end up still voting strategically and ignore the wording, but would all voters?
Are you talking about the Haskell one?

If so, you can't do IO inside a transaction (it won't compile), and any value not on a TVar is thread-local.
But they puff for any motion, like, if you get in the way.
We have very particular protections for certain kinds of people, to make sure that you aren't discriminated against for who you are. "Holding an opinion I disagree with" is not a protected class.

So I should be able to refuse to send an email on your behalf no matter your race, if the content of the email is uninteresting to me.
We do ask the federal/national government how cities and rural areas should be organized in a broad sense, which is really what’s going on with grey wolves in Wisconsin. More to the point: rural and urban citizens have the exact same interest in protecting endangered species.

Making this a city-slickers vs country-bumpkins debate is just an exercise in resentment politics that obscures the actual debate.

You actually do mean this as an attack - you quite literally accused me of being "_dramatically_ privileged"

Maybe you meant it as an attack and maybe you didn't. If there was a HN CoC, maybe I'm the kind of asshole that would try to accuse you of abuse. See how easy it is to abuse the system?

Not the op, but not all vegans have animal cruelty as their primary concern. Many do it for health reasons and avoid ingesting animal proteins in general, regardless of how they were produced.
It's where those initial cells were taken from, that's all.
It's not that labs create cells from scratch but rather they efficiently reproduce then.
It would demand a constant source of reliable cells from animals, from what I understand.
Now, personally, do I think this is better than the current situation? Probably yes, but it's an utilitarian reasoning, which tends to justify the misery of few for the wellbeing of many.
I was hoping you would support the argument you are making on this topic in this conversation. I have no interest in wading through your old comments, especially if they are as handwavy as the new ones.

You might be hitting the limits of the RAM. I think LPDDR3 maxes out at ~4.2Gbps, and running other bus masters like the HDMI and OS itself would be cutting into that.

Make the Old Ones Great Again
Or they're spending their money on the "front page of the internet" like Reddit. See the links I shared in my other post for examples of clear nation-state activity linked to Reddit and Twitter. Facebook certainly does skew more to the right, but note that it's popular verified personalities like Franklin Graham or Trump himself who are getting those likes/hits. Whereas with these other sources you never know who is behind the accounts (is it Russia? China?). This being said I will not excuse this behavior from the right or from Facebook.
This kind of argument often comes up. Two implicit premises should be questioned:

1) Liberal values are associated with privilege.

2) Because of this association we should embrace authoritarianism.

Is authoritarianism any less privileged? It assumes that the authorities are on your side and protecting your interests... that seems right down the middle of privilege. A low privilege person would probably benefit from liberal governance/norms that limit the damage hostile authorities can do.
At least they apologized, unlike the Linux Foundation when they banned a guy from a conference for no good reason.

This can be really bad if the vote is split enough that the top two candidates are not the actual voters' preferred top two.
It is the same problem as with censorship/fact checkers etc ... who do you trust to determine what is truth/fake news/coc violation and why do you trust them.

In abstract the CoC are fine if are written and enforced by impartial angels with well developed common sense.

The people that usually push for them are for politics and power.
The worst thing is when nobody is actually offended or hurt, and someone says your behavior could be considered offensive or insulting or whatever and takes action based on that. That's just someone wanting to exert their power for the wrong reasons.
Berlin's 'new' BER Airport: A story of incompetence and corruption – DW News
To point one video out there:

Blindfolded Mike Tyson's Punchout is an amazing niche documentary. To repeat, a blind speedrun of a very old boxing game. The level of skill and dedication that those runners have is just astonishing. In some strange way, it really makes you reevaluate the limits we humans have, and how they aren't anywhere close to where you think they actually are. It's a heck of an achievement. All that from a game with Mike Tyson on the headliner.

The F——ing Article. Slashdot-speak for the article being discussed here.
Well, first of all, sacrificing the outermost 10-20m of development to build a dike along the shore is a trivial expense compared to abandoning the city or dealing with regular flooding. But more likely the dikes will be built over the first 10-20m of what is currently the sea to avoid demolishing buildings built up against the water. That, or existing barriers will simply be raised. Whenever buildings are built directly against the sea they already require some sort of barrier to cover the difference between high and low tides and to deal with storm surge.
Sounds like "I empathize with them but I don't care about protecting them"
do you know of any media that has good depictions of this kind of culture? Ideally as part of the show, rather than a one-off foreigner in an American show. As an American this is how I sometimes wish our culture was like, but at the same time I realize I can't even imagine the reality of it since our culture can be rather extremely towards the opposite end of the spectrum
It was very mean of the greens to vote for their preferred candidate.
HN changes titles and it's getting stupid.
I know a lot of Hacker News users don't like it, but fact is that getting to the top of Hacker News is often the most-successful driver for getting something fixed in the tech industry.

Another good example of the impact of HN was the Triplebyte profile controversy (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23279837) a few months ago, which 100% would have gone through unchanged if it weren't for HN driving awareness. (followup: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23303037)
Maybe this has been mentioned already, but they seem to have some special integration with the Google Assistant. As far as I know there are currently no alternatives that allow you to e.g. perform a web request for any arbitrary voice command. And you can use arguments in voice commands. You can even override the (ever growing) reserved assistant commands by prepending 'please', I think.
As far as I am aware they don't need to harm the origin animal when they take the cell, and they only need to do it once at the start and can then reproduce the cells from the lab grown meat. But I could be very wrong. I am perfectly happy with plant based "meat" myself, too. By the way, I had a really hard time finding vegan food in Spain (outside of Barcelona) when I visited. Out of desperation I tried to get a veggie burger in McDonald's (I know not vegan, I was desperate) and they didn't have one! Barcelona however was awesome for vegan food.
There are people who are openly hostile to all of these ancient principles.

Yes, it will continue to work without internet. NAS and clouds are different things, a NAS is just a USB drive over the network, a cloud gives you more functionalities (versioning, backup, sync, collaborative folder, etc...).

What is exposed to the outside world (port forwarding) depends on your configuration. If you use SFTP, you will need to forward 22 towards your "local" cloud. If you store your cloud on the router, it will more likely be FTPS, and there will be no need for port forwarding.

You will need login/password/ip of the storage, and in the future when we implement E2EE, the password of your cloud.
"building a product" and "building a company" are two different things, but i agree that for some kinds of products and scale, you need a company to make it really successful. I think about all the "lifestyle businesses" that are examples of products that don't need full on "companies" to exist.

I think that if you are passionate about creating a product for people to use, then you will see through on all the other aspects of making that product survive and be used.

Otherwise, what you're interested in is "development", and big places like Google will give you plenty of experience in doing that.

This is not a value judgement. Personally, I have no problem working at a company where I'm paid to engineer products from the ground up. Maintaining things is boring. But that's just me.
"The fucking article". As in, "RTFA".
As a German, this whole registered voter thing still puzzles me. It's almost as if un-registeres people are second class citizens. No ballot access, and even that access can be cut off with voter role purges. It took me a while to really wrap my head around the fact that bot every resident is automatically registered. Without party affiliation off course. Just implementing that would go a long way to fix things. Add more polling places, get rid of gerrymandering and make voting day a public holiday and the US would almost be there. Except for that electoral college thing.

Germany is based on the experience of the Nazi's raise to power, one thing Germany got right after WW2 was the German constitution. Stuff like the 5% hurdle to get seats in parliament for example. The US on the other hand still seem to struggle with a system put in place after the civil war to suppress the black vote and satisfy the former confederate states. But I might be wrong.
I have been thinking about asking this for a while here now and hopefully somebody from this smart community can enlighten me

Why does debt matter when you can print your own money? Is it just inflation that we are worried about when we “pump” too much money into the economy?

In fact why does imf and world bank matter/exist when countries can print their own money? May be it’s not about the money but selling developed worlds “expertise” to build things in developing countries under the guise of a “loan”. Are these banks basically saying here is xxx million or billion to build a power plant and you can only use this money to pay companies from “my” country that will build your power plants ??
Yes. That's what tabloid writing sounds like - trying a bit too hard to arouse emotion in the reader. The left-wing tabloid articles have it too but with their own unique language.

Yes, a further answer might be:

It's tricky to combine convincing people that their own votes were counted, with making people's votes anonymous, and with convincing people that only registered voters were able to cast votes (and only one vote each).

There is computer science research that tries to address this, but it's subtle, and sometimes people are concerned that voters would be unpersuaded that the math is right.

Two other general problems with online voting which are as hard, or even harder, with blockchain-based voting:

(1) If people are voting from their own devices, those devices might be hacked in order to make them submit votes that don't match the voter's intent. This might be an even trickier problem if the votes are being anonymized by a complicated cryptographic protocols.

(2) Someone might try to attack the election by interfering with the vote-collection infrastructure. This is probably easier on a public blockchain, where, for example, miners could try to prioritize blocks that don't contain information about votes, or people might try to do fork attacks specifically during the election to cause fluctuations in estimates of whether votes were included on the chain or not.

Some of these things can potentially be addressed with even more cryptography, but I think the biggest insight is that just having a public ledger won't itself convince people that only registered voters were able to cast votes (and only one vote each), especially when the votes are recorded anonymously. In fact, just having a public ledger won't even interact with this challenge!

(Debian has had a clever solution to some of these problems for a while, just using a digitally signed web page rather than a blockchain, but their voters -- Debian developers -- are technologically sophisticated and publicly listed in a database that all other voters can agree on.)
This is certainly true, but how else would you propose solving the deeper problem?

One option is to designate someone or some group as arbiters / benevolent dictators, and have the rule of "If so-and-so decides you're making the place worse, you're not welcome." It's certainly effective. But it exacerbates Jeremy Howard's complaint - which is not so much about CoCs per se as about the group of people who enforced them and the way in which they did so. I don't think getting rid of CoCs will really solve that problem.

One option is to have a closed or invitation-only group - but that's at odds with the goals of many communities. (And it doesn't reliably solve the problem, it just makes it less likely you'd run into it.)
I'm currently the CTO/cofounder of a few-months-old startup and I think I could more easily give you a list of what NOT to do!

But if I can attempt a list it would be something like this:

* 1. Get Organized!
The BIG difference between being a software engineer, maybe even a lead/senior engineer and a CTO is that you have A LOT MORE to focus on than an engineer. You might need to be juggling thinks like
* Code architecture/clean code/PR reviews
* Security audits (i.e. Google API verification)
* Interviewing engineers
* Translating the ridiculous CEO request into actionable specs
* Keeping up the morale of the engineering team
* Evaluating technologies/platforms/services
* Attending/leading meetings (i.e. project status, planning, etc.)
* Keeping up with the industry (i.e. reading HN daily ;-)

I'm probably forgetting things but there's a lot that gets throw your way, mostly small things, but a bunch of small things that makes a confusing collage out of a regular day.

* 2. Be pessimistic
I say this not as an emotional state to be or an attitude to adopt but always assume and prepare for the worst case scenario. It is a lot easier to inform the CEO that you where able to manage that migration 2 weeks earlier than promise a delivery date and be 3 weeks late. That really throws out of whack whatever planning the CEO has and screws with the (likely) promises he might have made to investors/shareholders/board

* 3. Keep engineers happy
This one is particularly dear to me. I can look back and remember the times my engineers showed initiative and when they got some free time fixed things that needed fixing without me needing to ask, and wow! those are the times that I love my job!
Happy engineers doesn't just happen due to cool tech, interesting problems or free pizza day, it comes (in my opinion and experience) from respect, appreciation and the knowledge that they are making a difference and if they weren't present their absence would be deeply felt.

As for the rest, we all are making it all up as we go! So don't feel discouraged or afraid or even needing to "validate" your ideas based on some perceived "experts". Read comments, learn from other's mistakes but also enjoy the ride! Good luck!
In the past many societies had a rule where if you falsely accused someone, once it had been found you falsely accused them, you would suffer the same penalties that they would have suffered. Maybe it is time to bring back those rules for CoC complaints.
> Surely you own money?

Money as a physical item is tangible, money as a ledger entry has more complicated rules of “ownership”. For example, you do not actually own the money in tour bank account, you have a claim on the assets of your bank equal to the amount on the ledger. Other forms of ledger money are equally bizarre in the limit. Suppose you use a weak address with bitcoin and someone transfers “your” bitcoin to a different account. Its not clear that they committed a crime and there is no recourse for the former “owner.” Similar cases abound with ETH.

I think the question is specifically regarding, what if a less famous person encountered this issue
Yes. It is possible that the original submitted title included this. I have submitted similarly formatted titles before and had the leading colon-delimited content automatically removed.

However, if the submitter will edit the submission quickly enough (within 2 hrs I think), then an edited title with the correction will be accepted. At least that has been my experience in the past.
And there are a lot of people that dismiss his comment and the rest of his writings by ignoring what BASIC meant at the time of writing. Visual BASIC certainly wouldn't have been his favorite language, but had the features that BASIC at the time lacked and that he disliked it for (when you start digging into it: lack of recursion, non-reentrant functions, massive use of global variables, preference for goto versus structured control flow).
All languages end up with simple concurrency primitives such as async/await.

No one takes the next steps and introduces the high-level primitives you actually need to work with actors and concurrency in a sane manner: monitors, messages, supervisor trees. Erlang has been around for thirty years, people.
We believe there are several advantages of Lobe over tools like Google AutoML :) Lobe is making the entire process of creating custom machine learning accessible, from creating your dataset to training and playing with your model, to integrating it into apps:

* Easy to use - no coding, cloud configuration or machine learning experience required.

* Free & private - train for free on your own computer without uploading your data to the cloud. No accounts required.

* Ship anywhere - available for both Mac and Windows. Export your model and ship it on any platform you choose.

AutoML requires paid accounts with high friction setup and is focused on just training a model on your data. You would have to pay and retrain your model manually every time you want to make an iteration. Lobe gives fluidity with iterating and providing feedback to your model through Play.

Well yes because 5Gbps Ethernet is actually a thing ( NBase-T or 5GBASE-T). So 1Gbps x 5 would be more accurate.
