Developer Advice to Self
I can appreciate the deeply principled stand people on HN tend to make about this issue. I know there is a libertarian streak here around the access to content and information. I don't share those values, and think unchecked distribution of manipulated content creates a worse outcome for our society; I'd argue it is more inherently dystopian than straight-up government censored speech, which of course is not what's at stake here.

It doesn't matter whether I trust them to vote because they have a right to vote no matter what I think. I definitely do not trust masses of people to identify real vs. manipulated content that is expertly designed to be misleading, and I think companies that directly facilitate the spread of information have some level of responsibility for the consequences of enabling manipulated media to infect their users. I don't know what the balance is, I'm not dogmatic, but I think everyone needs to be a little less dogmatic on this issue.
Kind of makes you wonder how many other folks have works of art they’ve worked on for lifetimes that are either a) destroyed, b) never released, or c) lost forever.
It's all headlines and nothing more. Buzzfeed and TMZ use an identical model. The fact they published the recent laptop story means they don't care at all about integrity or facts. Money is king!

We need to reinstate the fairness doctrine to restore honesty in media. The "news" we have today used to be called "entertainment" and half the people on cable news are opinionated talk show hosts if you can even stand to watch any of it.
So just visit nypost.com, don't rely on twitter for your news.
It's a regional thing. In New England, we call Interstate 95 "Route 95", Interstate 93 is "Route 93", etc. US Route 20 that stretches from Boston to Oregon is "Route 20". And both the US Route 3 that goes north from Boston through New Hampshire, and MA Route 3 that goes south from Boston down to Cape Cod are called "Route 3".
And why do you think that's a meaningful distinction?

No, I didn't publish a picture of your credit card, just the numbers on it.
> The market-based solution depends on assumptions about people acting "rationally," which isn't possible with such asymmetry of information between the parties involved

It seems to me that having a respected publisher call out another publisher for having tried to peddle bullshit is an important contribution to reduce that asymmetry.
Keith Olbermann, currently hosting on the mainstream news channel of YouTube (/s) after being evicted from actual mainstream news, is the opposite of strong evidence. Further:

> "The hate he has triggered, the Pandora’s box he has opened, they will not be so easily destroyed,” he said. “So, let us brace ourselves. The task is twofold: the terrorist Trump must be defeated, must be destroyed, must be devoured at the ballot box, and then he, and his enablers, and his supporters, and his collaborators, and the Mike Lees and the William Barrs, and the Sean Hannitys, and the Mike Pences, and the Rudy Gullianis and the Kyle Rittenhouses and the Amy Coney Barretts must be prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society while we try to rebuild it and to rebuild the world Trump has nearly destroyed by turning it over to a virus."

The implication "should not be allowed to exist" is very different from "prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society." So even taking a marginalized voice talking from his YouTube channel, arguing that the left believes the right "should not be allowed to exist" is a ridiculous stretch.

You need to read more than just the headlines.
I don't think this is true, and even if it were it would be something everyone except literal fascists would oppose.
But the 'knowledge is useful' stance presupposes that these classes have value, that what they're teaching is actually true or useful. That's precisely what many of us don't believe.

Suppose we were discussing a risk management seminar which you had reason to believe was teaching a flawed methodology, one likely to cause serious harm if widely adopted. Would you be similarly sanguine in that case?

I had good success with EyeFi back in the day and used it across a couple generations and cameras. Unfortunately, WiFi on a camera is a feature, not a product. Between phones eating cameras and WiFi getting built-in, it really wasn’t a company built for longevity.
With two parties divided along ideological left-right lines, it’s expected that a majority won’t be switching side too often in their lifetime. The opposite would be ideologically weak parties doing a form of clientelism that would change according to the trends of the day.

Question: Isn't there US regulation around sending out mass emails and the consumer having to opt-in to receive such emails?

If so, would this breach that regulations since sending non-account related information to account holders feels like this company just used their internally collected email list for mass unwanted spam.
He doesn't speak of ageism in our industry. A lot of the frustration comes from realising that experience in our industry is short-changed for ageist hiring and compensating policies.

In context, I think it means "not too often".
This is so true. I think it's easy focus on the flashy aspects of success. This is just the final product.

I think every successful person from Lebron to Bill Gates is successful as a result of their day to day habits.

The dunks and the companies are just the product from that.

Makes you want to find out these peoples daily habits and reproduce them.
You dont, that's the point. The people saying that are being disingenuous, they know what they final goal is. If any of the measures, would have been taken against people they agree ideologically with they would be up in arms. Compare the reactions to the case when a gay couple drove hundreds of miles to specifically ask to a well known bakery owned by conservatives to make them a gay wedding cake, the guys refused btw silly thing and all the mainstream media wouldnt shut up about censorship. When the same thing is done to right-wingers you get OP's reaction, "stop complaining and create your own Visa, Amazon and Youtube"
I would expect a company with more diverse leadership to outperform, because they are able to access more talent.

White men are like 35% of the U.S. population in total. So on the back of the envelope, a corporate culture that inclines toward hiring white men, also inclines against hiring from 65% of the population. That's a lot of talent available for your competitors to hire.

And the numbers get even more dramatic the younger you look. Non-hispanic white U.S. residents under 16 made up less than 50% of the population at that age as of last year. And the trend direction is obvious. Source:

https://www.brookings.edu/research/new-census-data-shows-the...

The left-hand side of this chart is what the future of the American workforce will look like. The right-hand side is what it used to look like:

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/07/30/most-common...

If a company does not figure out how to hire, retain, and promote people who are not white men, they are going to see a shrinking talent pool for decades to come. The data is obvious to corporate leaders, which is why so many companies are treating diversity as an issue for management of the business.
The pipeline is cases -> hospitalizations -> deaths, with a week or 2-weeks between each stage.

Only 20% of cases turn into hospitalizations, and only a small percentage of hospitalizations turn into deaths... but that's the general pipeline. The exact % changes depending on population dynamics (who gets sick, and where), but the biggest contributing factor is the number of people in the previous stage of the pipeline. (If you double cases, then a few weeks later, hospitalizations will almost certainly double).

If a case-spike happens, the idea is to make a decision BEFORE hospitalization spikes up a few weeks later. We want to be ahead of the wave, not behind it.

Unlikely. Remember, there were 10 separate investigations into Benghazi, for instance, and Twitter didn’t block any of them from being posted.

No reason to suppose they will act differently for Biden.

Their action here seems to be more out of fear of a pre-election bombshell similar to the 2016 “emails” that turned out to a nothingburger.
Well, then it has to be so also from a legal standpoint.
Nationalize Twitter and Google, or declare them public utilities.
Until then, they're totally free to do what they want.
In my opinion they should have already shut down President Trump's account, regardless of the backlash they would receive. They could single-handedly eradicate a broadcast opportunity for the single person closer to a literal dictator the U.S. has ever had.
I did something similar for Twitter few years ago, but then came to my personal conclusion that this type of information is not very useful , since people on Twitter (or Reddit) would not be the key factor to move the needle on a particular stock. So in the end it is just one datapoint of many.
You can go on Robinhood and buy stocks for free. Courtesy of some HFT in return for getting first dibs on your trades. If we compare that to the fees of yesteryear it's brought real value to long-term retail investors.

Unsophisticated investors only using market orders will also pay less spreads than they used to.

Going out on a limb, I think the losers are mutual funds and similar who are less able to monetize their fundamental analysis by buying or sell big chunks of stock without moving the market.
I agree with you, but that's a truly horrible reason.
Excellent example. I have mostly the same problem at the opposite end of the political spectrum, and then one extended family member on the other end who is a lot like what you describe. They all are disruptive to family life.

And the media has covered the many revolts/disagreements of activist employees at Facebook, Twitter, Coinbase and elsewhere. I'm sure people have seen the coverage?
This media bias chart may be of interest: https://www.adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart-2...

Reuters and AP are rated similarly there.

Granted that you need to read the websites methodology to determine whether you think those ratings are credible.
Visa and Mastercard are both publicly traded. You can go look at their financials. I believe Visa still holds the crown for the highest gross margin and price-to-sales ratio of any stock in the S&P 500. Mastercard isn't far behind. These are not marginally profitable businesses. They are money printers that rely on tightfisted control over merchants and the payment clearing infrastructure.
I actually don't need strong consistency here - I'll only have a single instance of the container accessing the sqlite file at a single point, but they can be running on any host. As long as I can ensure replication is synchronized before process start when a container gets rescheduled we good.

It goes over my head a bit exactly why (related to POSIX lock mechanisms?) but sqlite doesn't work reliable on NFS/ceph/gluster/networked filesystems, even when only accessed from a single host, distributed or not.

It seems to be a fairly clearly laid out, easy to access, summary of some key photography concepts. It seems like a decent resource to have just to glance at.

It's been a while since I learned photography stuff, just skimming through it refreshed some stuff I'd forgotten.

It doesn't seem to be unique in its information, but it's decently put together and covers a bunch of different things.
Out of curiosity, which do you think is less credible? Both primarily write stories that advance the political interests of their respective parties and both rarely verify the accuracy of information that supports their party. The only real difference between them is that Breitbart writes all their headlines in all-caps and NYT uses the less obnoxious sentence case.
Very interesting article on a complex topic. Finding the right balance between too much and too little specs is not an easy task. Basecamp's latest book "Shape up" (https://basecamp.com/shapeup) helped me a lot finding it.
What do you mean? Even within the category of corporate "people", different types of corporations are regulated differently by the law.
I have mixed feelings about this.

In one side, I'm happy that some of the people affected by the Mozilla layoffs have now secured a job.

On the other side, now almost all the power of the WASI standard is concentrated into the Fastly corporation (with wider penetration thanks to the WASI integration in Rust). The main and only player of the Bytecode Alliance becomes Fastly as well (as Mozilla is out of the server-side Wasm game).

So... how this could be bad? The Bytecode Alliance has been biased since their inception, blocking any attempt of collaboration from Wasmer based on personal bias (I work at Wasmer) and other external entities out of their control [1] [2] [3]. This move is conceding them now a full-control over a standard such as WASI, placing the whole standard at risk [4]

I'm talking about social media in its entirety, not a single provider of it. Twitter/Facebook/Whatsapp have billions of users and would be treated as a single class of service.
> It really sucks to find out that the whole idea of it just being about the code, meritocracy blah blah blah ... isn't really true.

Have you considered starting your own company so you have control of how employees are treated?

More generally, this seems to me to be a potential solution to the disillusionment problem described in the article that is not often considered. Bad management and bad treatment of employees should be bad business; but for that to be the case, companies that do those things have to face competition from companies that don't.
I think people show their true colors when emotional, and many blame social media, misinformation, etc as why Trump won in 2016; whereas before they were praising how savvy Obama was to use social media, etc.
Apathy and centrism are friends of evil governance everywhere.

To quote Howard Zinn (even if you disagree with his politics - it applies to both sides of the aisle): "You can't be neutral on a moving train. Events are already moving in certain deadly directions, and to be neutral means to accept that."

Being "above" politics is not a virtue when the politics in question are harmful - thus, the "moral crusade".
Speaking generally, can nanotechnology be applied to superfund site cleanups? As it currently stands, our tools for cleaning up these chemicals are extremely crude.

Why can't we develop a nanobot that is able to detect the chemical in the soil or ocean and then break down or decompose that molecule?
With the sports example... the company "laying off a team" may actually be able to expect a payment in exchange for facilitating the transfer of their well-assembled, functional team to another company. It's entirely possible that wouldn't actually be a bad outcome for everyone involved:

- Source company which is financially strained gets some income in addition to reduced salary expenses.

- Destination company saves on paying other recruiting costs and acquires a pre-assembled team. They're essentially buying a working unit instead of having to build their own.

- Employees avoid the uncertainty of being dropped in the middle of the process (or summarily laid off), assuming the right protections were in place in the agreement.
Does this person actually think he did anything other than piss off his customers? If they were voting Biden, they will continue to vote Biden. If they were voting Trump, they will continue to vote Trump and on top of that cancel their contracts with his company
I always appreciate when someone leaves the well-defined path and does something different, such as you self-studying Math and getting enrolled in a Masters program.

I am just curious about your process of actually joining the masters program. They usually require 2-3 letters of recommendation etc. How did you handle such requirements?

> Second, classroom lectures mainly act as a structured table-of-contents for working through various textbooks.

On a side note, actually studying math as an undergrad, I can't stress enough how much I agree with this, especially in a remote setup.
Public usage is how regulations and legislation are determined. Making social media a public utility is the point of the discussion here.

The law does not place that limitation on filing 1201 claims.

Also, the RIAA is not an unaffiliated party. They act as the collective legal representative on behalf of their members (i.e., the recording studios).

The alternative is that youtube-dl (and others) could face multiple lawsuits, one from each music company, instead of just one, and each company could test a different legal argument. The music labels can afford this. In fact, in many situations they would prefer it.
the problem is for a competitor to emerge, they have to do a lot of work after X years.

My proposal is to have a company parallel develop processes so we can have competitor after expiry immediately. The competitor can't profit from it, but it can do work at 0 cost.
>I'm not aware of any claim from them. I thought the claim of the hack comes from the NY Post article itself where they said the shop owner made a copy of the hard drive.

The NY Post article claims the laptop was abandoned at the repair shop (never picked up) and that according to the law in that state became the legal property of the shop owner.

>all of the information The Times obtained was provided by sources with legal access to it

Notice that The Times does not say the source was legally authorized to release it. I didn't say it was criminally accessed, but that it was criminally released. For example, if an IRS employee or an employee at Trump's accountant released it without permission, those would be crimes.

>So at least from the perspective of being a small time employee of Twitter that has to work on moderation

I can accept that for the low level employee at the time of moderation. But once it got so high up that @Jack commented on it, and now over a week later the NY Post's account is still banned, it doesn't float.
I appreciate your opinions.

This isn't a small fringe group.

The right is almost 50% of the country.

The fact that you're demonizing such a large group instead of attempting to understand them reveals a little of your fanaticism that you may not even be aware of.
Sure, but Twitter conversations DO disturb other people.

Starbucks absolutely has the right (and would exercise it) to kick a group of people out if they were, say, conducting a KKK meeting and talking so everyone in the Starbucks could hear them.
You have a built in assumption in your statement that you haven't acknowledged: that the drug helps rather than harms. A new drug may help or it may harm.

If the drug turns out to harm people, a healthy person may be able to deal with it and recover. While a person that is barely hanging on to life may be pushed over the edge. There's no data to support a new drug raises the survival rate. It may in fact lower it from low to zero. During testing you generally want to kill as few people as possible.

Once more data has been collected on the drug, then the balance starts to shift toward giving it to at risk groups.
Spectroscopy isn't simple. There are huge grey areas. Very well-defined signatures often overlap into a blurry mess of lines. Even within a single element, say hydrogen, there can be different signatures for different ionization states. Rather than clean detections there is often much opinion and debate, for years, before spectroscopy evidence is agreed as a legitimate detection of a substance.
In 1922, the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms deputized someone who then traveled to Ohio and arrested the brother of the sitting Attorney General after he ignored a Senate subpoena and was cited for contempt of Congress. The arrest was upheld by the Supreme Court in McGrain v. Daugherty in 1927.

In 1934, the Senate cited two men for contempt of Congress and sentenced them to 10 days in the DC jail. One, William P. MacCracken, Jr, fought the case in court, eventually losing in the Supreme Court case Jurney v. MacCracken of 1935. He served one night of his sentence in the home of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms and another in the Willard hotel... I was unable to figure out if he ever actually ended up in the DC jail.
Net Neutrality is not really that different. These corporations just want to be the ones doing the blocking instead of allowing ISPs to do it.
