From my point of view, its not just about whether the company is private but also how easy it is to substitute the service. Twitter and Facebook are not close to the only means of publishing information. I don't think that people deserve any particular audience for their speech, so the ability to substitute other publishing methods alleviates concerns about censorship on my part.

On the other hand, its much more difficult to switch ISPs, so I would be very concerned about censorship at that level. Things like search engines which are substitute-able but held by few hands and difficult to replicate privately are more of a grey area in my opinion.
I don't think Detroit was ever behind saving the Packard plant. Now that Ford is saving the old Michigan depot the Packard plant is the largest piece of blight left in the city. But unlike the depot it's no where near downtown and the neighborhood surrounding it is pretty much destroyed.

The Packard plant was an amazing place for a very long time. But in the last thirty years it's been an attraction for urban explorers and a rave site.

Things could have been very different. The Packard plant had a secret: a large and especially nice Banksy painting. Before this guy could take charge of the plant a group of 'renegade artists' went out with air hammers and 'liberated' the Banksy and put it on display in their storefront museum. A large lawsuit ensued but they were allowed to keep it with the proviso that they not sell it. Kind of a unique Detroit only story of legalized theft. Of course in under a year they sold it for millions of dollars!

If the new owner had that Banksy and sold it he could have gone a long way towards paying for demolition of the site. The state could have been persuaded to take care of pollution remediation and he would have had the largest single piece of property in the city. Perfect for perhaps an Amazon warehouse?

Building flood barriers is a lot cheaper and a lot easier to throw money at than reducing emissions. Barriers can also be constructed on a local or regional level, whereas emission reduction requires achieving an intractable global consensus. It doesn’t follow that the same dysfunctions that have prevented emission reduction will prevent the construction of flood barriers.

> Code of Conducts give a single canonical state for what's considered acceptable

This is what they're supposed to do. In reality, this is impossible because so many of the rules in a CoC are subjective, and therefore are enforced based on the opinions of the people enforcing the CoC.

> but more importantly, give organizers something tangible to point to when there is a violation.

This just gives the enforcers a sense of moral authority to impose their opinions, nothing more. I don't see that as a benefit of what is inevitably an incomplete document, and frequently poorly thought out as well.
There are no special protections because you don't need one to not be sued by someone for a wrong party! If my car is vandalized I don't get to just sue Bill Gates be he is convenient and known!
I read the apology without knowing the backstory. It just feels so weasel-worded: they apologise for their process but certainly don’t make any suggestion that was innocent so actually increasing the smear. A proper apology also needs personal, private apologies from the committee members. I can only hope that Jeremy receives a better apology than this for the shit he has been made to chew by them.

I disagree that it's counterproductive or irrelevant anyway. In the near term it's inconceivable that someone that isn't R or D will win Maine even with RCV, it will solely allows voters to additionally indicate support for a third party without spoiling their major party preference.

Basically I'd only expect it as enabling the the Libertarian or Green party to start challenging the majors after 20 years of iterated elections, which gives plenty of time to deal with the perceived issue of Maine voting Libertarian instead of Republican and a Dem winning by 1 electoral college vote (which seems an anyway implausible result).
Almost everything is a FPS or multiplayer... I mean all the big budget releases. Cyberpunk and Wasteland III are exceptions, as is Divinity OS and games like that. My theory is people want reaction-time games versus think-and-do games.

Or maybe I'm old and don't like the reaction-based (and certainly not multiplayer) games anymore.
I think your comment is behind the state of the art. I bought a house with a beautiful garden in the backyard. I didn't know what any of this stuff was or how to take care of it. The app my wife got (not sure what it is) got all of them correct except 1, with a single photo. That's for at least 50 different plant species.
Right, except (my lay understanding is) that would require something special to happen to infalling matter at the event horizon, though we don't have a plausible theory for what that thing is--the prevailing interpretation is that passing through the event horizon is a non-event for the observer.

On the other hand, the holographic principle says that the event horizon surface is big enough to contain all the information, so in a way of speaking we seem to be free to model black hole information as though it is "on the event horizon".
This whole thread is a thought experiment. I made a single simplifying assumption, for the sake of clarifying the particular qualities of that thought experiment: that voters would understand the policies of the second and third parties to be identical. In that case, IRV isn't "unlikely to break 2 party dominance", as you claimed above. So, that claim isn't universally true. It might be true in some circumstances, but we don't know what those might be. You'll need to explain more carefully why we should reject RCV in favor of some more perfect alternative.
I would even go further and put it in the category of conservative victimhood porn. Their narrative is that the Mailchimp "arbiters of truth" are going to come and censor your conservative viewpoint which is already "continuously targeted." It annoys me that this tabloid style content consistently filters to the top of HN, especially with the number of self described "free thinkers" here that think they are immune from political bias.

I would assume that the jurisdiction would be determined for some intentional harmful act (as opposed to a computer network event - the crime, if any, is that a person did something not that a technical thing happened), and the more relevant states would be the ones where the actor was located and the legal residence of the organization who suffered damages; the location of any involved hardware may have an impact (especially in the discovery process) but they're secondary to that.
I used to have feelings similar to yours, and then I started playing Valorant with my wife. The amount of vitriol she gets simply for being a woman is staggering. I had no idea because I didn't come across women in tactical shooters very often, and I wasn't a jackass to them when I did. But it's something like every other game that someone is ridiculously rude to her because she's a woman. This is in addition to all of the normal toxicity that, e.g. I receive just for being a person playing a game where everyone has mics.

Before this discovery, I would have guessed that "someone inevitably gets their feelings hurt and points to some well-intentioned rule in the CoC to get the 'offender' shamed/removed even if no harm was intended" was a much larger percentage of the cases than it is. I also would have thought that anything that makes a lot of people uncomfortable that they might accidentally cross the line is worse than the current harm.

Now that I've much more personal experience with what it means to be a person who is an actual target of harassment, I realize that these edge cases make up a tiny proportion of the harassment that happens. And when you bring the hammer down on people who are unequivocally harassers, it is important that you do so in a way that's fair and not subject to recharacterization as unjust later, when no one who was there is a part of the conversation.

A great many good people being uncomfortable is unfortunate, but I also think it's a sign of the kind of cognitive dissonance that I experienced before playing with my wife. I had never experienced anything other than the usual toxicity, so I naively assumed that it couldn't be that prevalent. The fact that a CoC feels like overkill is, perhaps, evidence for the proposition that the problem with harassment is much more real than it might feel to those of us who are not targets of harassment.

And the kind of people who will harass someone so shamelessly are exactly the kind of people who will boldly lie about not being given a reason for their discipline, or who will loudly complain about the rules not being explicit, even though it's incredibly obvious to everyone present that their behavior was beyond the pale.

The edge cases are edge cases, and unfortunate, but I don't believe most cases are edge cases.

> For the endless commentary on Trump profiting off the presidency, Trump running an "organized crime family", Trump this Trump that, we have actual hard, concrete evidence that a Vice President's cocaine addicted son was selling access to the office (presumably to fuel his addiction), and on top of that his father lied constantly to the American people about it.

The dispute is that we don't agree on whether there is concrete evidence that the vice president's son sold access to his office. Hunter certainly capitalized on his name, but to this point there is no hard evidence that this resulted in political access to Biden, that Biden accepted any money, or that Biden gave any favors with regard to Hunter's associates. If you can't prove any of those things, then hammering on it endlessly with no new evidence or any change in the story would be journalistic malpractice.
That's a false analogy. Saying something incorrect about a computer is different from using an incorrect/biased statement to try to shut a person down.
I think maybe they meant linking Port 1 to Port 2, and Port 3 to Port 4? Also I believe gigabit ethernet can be full duplex, so you should be able to send 1000 and receive 1000 on a single interface at the same time if it's in full duplex mode.

Wayback though is now going back and promoting a chosen context. History should be preserved for its integrity. If someone said something false let it stand on its own feet. Let individuals look at the content and context and decide on their own if it is true.

Most of the world is able to hold a reasonable election.

Our problem is not how quickly we arrive at a result. That's not even really a problem. Fast results and "breaking news" both have created more problems than they solve.

Our problem is too many people in power aren't interested in trustworthy, reputable elections.

Doing that well does not require machines. In fact, using them often adds weak, or dubious links to the chain of trust between voter intent and a human readable, suitable for a court room, record of their vote.

Further, the winners of past elections are not very interested in changes or improvements that may impact their future in a negative way. Status quo inertia is strong.

All we really need are people, a publically visible process, and leadership committed to a fair election.

We don't have that right now, and we don't have it because corruption is rampant and the incentives to reform run into conflict with large amounts of money. No joke.

I don't know how to fix it. I have seen nothing electronic that comes close.

Think after you read this. Go take a look at elections, and fair and free election standards around the world, and wonder about how we apply those here. More of us need to.
Having rules that are written down and apply to everyone is a liberal value, last I checked. It is far more authoritarian for the standards to be unwritten, because then instead of applying them to everyone, the people in charge can do whatever they want. Throwing out the whole concept of having agreed-upon rules because of one bad outcome seems like a major step backwards to me.
> Code of Conducts give a single canonical state for what's considered acceptable

Except... they don't.

They say things like (quoting from the NumFOCUS CoC):

> Other unethical or unprofessional conduct

That leaves things wide open -- whatever the committee decides is "unprofessional" is hereby banned. How am I supposed to guess their mind?

I don't know, look at what sells well: massively multiplayer games, and FPSes. As I mentioned in a previous comment, there are exceptions, but as a rule it seems if you're a game developer you're more likely to make a reaction-based shooter or real time thing, versus a subjectively-paced adventure game with point and click puzzles like Sierra or LucasArts games were.

It might be gaming culture changed as consoles got big and more people got interested.

These sort of capabilities are exactly what serverless / function-as-a-service ought to be giving us! How do we expand them beyond industrial developer tools, & make them more user tools?!

I think one of the missing pieces on DIY/user serverless is that there's not a lot of connectivity. Systems like node-red have integration points for all kinds of systems, whereas serverless tech tends to have a more concentrate developer-oriented focus for it's connectivity, taking events off queues and via http endpoints.

We're only just starting to bring more focus onto the messaging bus underpinning serverless. Knative Eventing, for example, is one of the contenders, which defines a pluggable architecture for what events are, where they come from, how to write more. That way you could start extending the system, having events come in for your light switch, or your weather sensor, or your car's location or what not, adapting whatever protocols or systems you might have.

FTA: ”This is a common pattern: a class with a private queue and some properties that should only be accessed on the queue. We replace this manual queue management with an actor class

[…]

Things to note about this example:

- Declaring a class to be an actor is similar to giving a class a private queue and synchronizing all access to its private state through that queue.

- Because this synchronization is now understood by the compiler, you cannot forget to use the queue to protect state: the compiler will ensure that you are running on the queue in the class's methods, and it will prevent you from accessing the state outside those methods.

- Because the compiler is responsible for doing this, it can be smarter about optimizing away synchronization, like when a method starts by calling an async function on a different actor.”

Dividends were very common pre-1980. What makes you think they weren't?

> I think stock is supposed to be like gold, you invest in the value of gold.

The value of a stock comes from the possibility of capital return from the company. If the company never gives anything to shareholders, the value of a stock is no more than the paper it's printed on.

Ha, thanks! And those visuals are still quite simplistic as I haven't implemented yet all the ideas to visualize tiny wavelets present in any realistic sound.

A few possible next steps I had in mind:

(1) Turning those ACFs into actual shapes, not just colored rings assembled together, so say an accord on piano would create a sophisticated 2d or 3d shape with elaborate structure. Perhaps, just mixing the flat ACFs with an exp decay would achieve the result.

(2) Visualizing the ACF heights map as a water surface with a raytracer. This sounds nonsense until you see a few real (physical) examples: "cymaglyphs". Those are reflections and refractions on the rippled water surface that's assuming shapes of the so-called Faraday waves (a parametrically driven wave equation, see "Numerical simulation of Faraday waves" by L. Tuckerman on arxiv). However this requires solving a complex diff equation + an extremely high quality raytracer, as otherwise you'd get blurry pixelated images. None of the existing raytracers would work here.

As for compatibility with other browsers, it works on desktop Chrome and Firefox, but not on their mobile versions. I haven't figured out yet why. Must be something to do with GPU differences. Safari is a whole another story. The visualizer uses WebAudio + WebGLv2, and Safari isn't known for supporting the bleeding edge standards. While you could do everything without GPU, it would crawl at 0.03 fps and you wouldn't be hear and see sound in real time.

I trained Lobe with two labels - cats and dogs.

In pictures where there are both dogs and cats, Lobe would say Dog or Cat instead of "Dog, cat."

Well, you need operations people and people with experience anyway. We've seen the blog posts by companies like Discord and others that needed to implement difficult workarounds in their golang code bases. The problem is always there, not thinking about it won't make it go away. I'd argue that golang "solution" was a big hack, and that having a proper mature solution like the JVM would have saved time and effort.
HN is a pseudo anonymous message board, thus not as restrictive. But in any activity where people are "collaborating", especially in shared space (like a conference) there are more concerns to be addressed.

The programming world historically has been the domain of white men, and these CoCs are often a response to the fact that things have changed.

Any talk about "CoCs are bad" or "CoCs are just for people to arbitrarily impose their morality" are wrong. We need guidelines, and we need to be prepared to refine those guidelines and how they are enforced on a continual basis.

That dismissive talk brings this quote to mind: "When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality seems like oppression."

Except their apology doesn't do what you're saying as it doesn't say he was innocent or that he didn't violate the CoC. It simply says they didn't fully follow their process and that if he wants to appeal the board will hear it. As I read it he is still considered guilty unless the board accepts the appeal.

edit: And since he seems too emotionally exhausted by this to deal with it further there will possibly be no appeal filed and thus he will stay guilty by default.
> For me, the biggest downfall of IFTTT was how many services started locking them out of useful hooks.

Absolutely. The 2000 - 2010 time range was filled with such great hope for APIs, for expanding humanity creativity.

The last decade though has been shuttering & closing & withdrawl of computing, the systems receding, getting further & further away from general usability, a retreat into the walled garden, systems effervescing from manipulability, going up, into the cloud.

I've been calling the before time the Pax Intertwingularis era, the peace of intertwingularity, interoperation, interfacing of systems. When we were all excited to build & interconnect & share, when the hope, what we all saw, was humanity getting better & better from the power to wire ourselves together in new & changing ways.
