A 'community' is far more than a collection overseen by a collector. For one thing, it's a place where members value and help one another. Facebook has no idea about community, and will never have 'community' standards. It's too bad anyone trusts it with their valuables.
One of the dumbest statements I have seen on this website. I genuinely do not know how someone can read this comment and hit the reply button. Nice generalities about Americans. Too bad it literally makes no sense lmao. Try looking at the statements you want to make and assess if you are actually saying something with purpose and intent rather than vomitting in the comment section
Based on how they’re used it doesn’t even require a copyright violation \o/
I worry a bit about this kind of surveys. By this standard, I've faced sexual assault because a drunken guy started petting me once (I'm a straight guy). By any reasonable standard it was a funny incident, but in a strict interpretation of a "have you ever" survey, I'd be a sexual assault survivor.

Could be the same here. Say that in 1/100 of interactions between a upper and lower caste there is some form of discrimination, regardless the intensity. I'm too tired to do the math, but it seems reasonable that would lead to a high percentage of people ending up answering yes to a "have you ever been discriminated" question.
I learned that Teslas had some self driving functionality by seeing obviously inattentive drivers in them.

While on the road I try to stay as far away from any tesla as I can.
They have "effectors", which is highly advanced tractor beam-style technology that allow you to manipulate matter from a distance with a precise field, which can obviously be used for all sorts of scientific / constructive pursuits

They also have gridfire, a weapon more potent than anti-matter.
Who has a legacy anyway and why would a normal person expect to have one? A tailor's clothes get worn out, a farmer's food is eaten, the cook's dish eaten, the hotel cleaner's "output" gets messy again, the architect's apartment block torn down etc.

Who has a true legacy outside a small minority of philosophers, artists, scientists and political leaders?

Ask HN: Google Photos users: What will you do if your Google account is banned?
So I've been thinking about this for a while and diversifying services as much as possible (mail, drive, docs etc) but Photos is one service that I can't replace.

Of course I take backups of the (super messy) Takeout, and use the API to make (incomplete, lower quality) backups of photos.

None are ideal though. So, here's my question, what's your contingency plan if you lose access to your Google account?
Look at countries where DST was implemented more recently so you can compare :P (I was in such a country when it adopted DST in the 90s and can tell you power bills were not reduced after the change).
Is there a link to some text that I could read. Listening to the spoken word, I tend to nod off after five minutes. Don't think I can manage 42 minutes :]

Personally I didn't start a company in one country (but moved to another) just because of the high bureaucracy cost and high taxes.
I think I agree with your points on the surface, but disagree with (what I presume to be) your implications. It sounds like you're arguing that the current system is somehow a step forward. I very much question that.

To your point, CoCs are not really the issue. The issue is that CoCs and their subsequent enforcement are often advanced by ideological zealots engaging in witch hunts. I don't see how that is in any way an improvement over the status quo. I see no evidence that suggests these zealots are able to effectively deal with real harassment when it happens, either.

>All we can do is judge them by their actions.

Quite right.
Not sure if you know, but there are 'Upper Castes' that eat Non-Vegetarian food. Asking someone if they are vegetarian or not, just to ascertain their caste would be a dumb thing to do, especially when you can know someone's caste from their last name (and maybe some googling on top, if you really really wanted to know their caste)
Replace The Head with "AI" and I think Lewis wrote a fantastic cautionary tale. In essence, check your sources, consider your ends.

Science is a technique performed by humans to achieve some end. Humans use machines to run mechanical routines called AI to perform tasks in the world.

What are the sources of our results? What are the ends of our chosen uses and efforts?
I share your view in part, but I think you've ignored the basis for which the maintainer is reasonably understood as a malicious actor: it's not the overreaction, it's the deceit.

They said that they had conducted a complete rewrite. There is no reason to do this other than to mislead and create a self-serving false narrative.
I speak to a lot of enterprise buyers ands startups and it's definitely a major issue when it comes to buying products, especially from a startup.

There's a big difference between what a product does in theory vs in practice - and social proof is a big guiding factor for what it can do in practice.
>Plants do no have brains, they do not emote or feel pain.

Science says plant feel & can hear esp. whilst being eaten by insect or are cut.

It's also proven that plants communicate with one another, and can share nutrients with one another, even warn nearby plants to get ready for attacks.

Absolute bullshit. 99% of drivers will frequently commit a series of small mistakes on an everyday <5km drive.
Why not? I can't really see the difference, except that identifying a person by face is easier than by voice.

No – think really, really hard before accepting contributions under those licenses. If you're worried about not being able to take it proprietary, have some kind of Contributor Agreement saying “you need to hand over the copyright to get pull requests merged”.
It is not so simple I'm afraid; he allowed outside contribution from people who thought they were contributing to free software. He deserves the backlash. If he wanted to make money, he could have created a sub-project using octotree binaries and extended modules under new licensing terms.
The eventual collapse of the soviet union is attributable to dozens of causes, including an oppressive government which lost the support and confidence of it's people, a military budget in excess of 30% of GDP, an expensive and pointless foreign war, widespread censorship, and a crippling bureaucracy.

I'd be skeptical that price controls had a larger affect on the distribution of information than censorship and the threat of imprisonment in the gulag.
Yep, though as with effectors, I'm fairly certain the technology/equipment that enables gridfire is the same that enables hyperspace travel, so it is also dual purpose in peace and war time.

Once again showing that The Culture is the coolest idea of a Utopia ever conceived.
I’m in a fun boat where I got my Facebook account completely disabled last July 30 minutes after creating it (made to communicate with fellow interns for a job I just started). I didn’t provide a phone number, and I turned off/toned down every single tracking/anti-security preference they had. I then signed in on my phone’s browser (no way am I installing the app) and that flagged it for suspicious activity, which when I (admittedly very very stupidly) used the same picture as my profile pic for their request, disabled the account.

I have submitted for account recover 7 times by this point with a picture of my license to no success of hearing from the company. And I can’t request for them to delete my license from their servers because lo and behold, you need to sign in to do that!

The best part is that if I trying making a new account/signing in with the same email, it says I can’t do that because the address is associated with an account that is disabled. If I go to the recovery site to submit a request, they claim an account with that email doesn’t exist to be recovered.

At least my Messenger account is separate, but they still have my phone number.
There were many problems with the Soviet system but the collapse was not really related to it not being a market economy. In fact the enormous economic collapse that happened was due to privatization shock doctrine promoted by free market fundamentalists. Ironically free market reforms killed Russia not their command economy.
Maybe Japan was not a planned economy, in the Soviet sense, but it was hardly a model of "laissez-faire" with their zaibatsus and keiretsus and a very clear industrial and protectionist policy implemented from the state.

Probability has surely morphed into an algebra, and what you study in modern introductory books is the conversion of the algebra into "everyday language" so that students don't get scared. It has very little similarity to what probability looked like when it was being developed.

Also, you seem to be overstating the maturity of PDE (people are pretty much still trying to turn it into algebra, but it may not be possible) and number theory (that's an active research area).

I have never seen that saying either, but it seems quite correct, with the exception of the areas where an algebra is impossible, so the field matures without becoming one.
I had a class in grad school called Database Implementation. We wrote a simple SQL database from the ground up, with a SQL parser as the first assignment. I had worked in industry for a few years, so it was fun seeing that "I have painted myself into a corner" look in some people's eyes. And the "I have to rewrite everything" scramble. :-)

That was also when I learned you could deadlock AIX 3.2.5's NFS filesystem using mmap. (I was also working as one of the dept's sysadmins, so putting 2 and 2 together was easy.)
You raised some very valid questions. I'm speculating here, so take my answer as sort of sci-fi premise. I think as the internet and IoT grows, it becomes more decentralized, it will be come unfeasible for all these nodes to communicate to some central nodes (i.e. servers), so we will move toward automated peer-to-peer communication, with some simple routing and optimization rules.

These of these nodes automatically detect, connect, and communicate with the nearest node. Think of it as bluetooth vs wi-fi hybrid of the future. The aim is to make a more resilient internet by eliminating single points of failure (i.e. AWS servers down), but the end result will be some sort of rudimentary network, that will lead to "emergence" of some sort.

I just realized I've been describing "Edge computing".
As covered elsewhere, they're not the sole copyright holder.
Not necessarily the logos in the presentation, but I saw a lot of purchases where knowing someone who used the product in other similar companies was a decisive factor in the purchase. These meetings that you mention would almost always involve something in the lines of ”I will ping a friend on company X using this and check what they think of it”. Or the product was being considered in the first place because someone had worked on a company that used it or a friend working on another company have recommended it.
Totally agree. It's a really hard balancing act. Open source really helps us learn though.
> Many (not all) HN readers, being software engineers, have a high level of pretentiousness that comes from being good in one field, and then carry over that arrogance into areas where they have no clue.

Or maybe they trust scientists who are saying that we don't have good evidence yet?

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

> Although direct evidence is limited, the optimum use of face masks, in particular N95 or similar respirators in health-care settings and 12–16-layer cotton or surgical masks in the community, could depend on contextual factors; action is needed at all levels to address the paucity of better evidence. Eye protection might provide additional benefits. Globally collaborative and well conducted studies, including randomised trials, of different personal protective strategies are needed regardless of the challenges, but this systematic appraisal of currently best available evidence could be considered to inform interim guidance.

This para says we don't have enough evidence, and what we have isn't particularly good, and we need more evidence, but in the mean time the bits and bobs we have could guide us.

This is why I say "people should wear masks, masks may help, but we need better evidence".

All the way through your article there are people saying that the science is not clear.

> But for the variety of masks in use by the public, the data are messy, disparate and often hastily assembled.

[...]

> So, scientists have relied on observational and laboratory studies. There is also indirect evidence from other infectious diseases. “If you look at any one paper — it’s not a slam dunk. But, taken all together, I’m convinced that they are working,” says Grabowski.

> But such studies do rely on assumptions that mask mandates are being enforced and that people are wearing them correctly. Furthermore, mask use often coincides with other changes, such as limits on gatherings. As restrictions lift, further observational studies might begin to separate the impact of masks from those of other interventions, suggests Grabowski. “It will become easier to see what is doing what,” she says.
Relying on another country for your energy needs isn't a great idea. We've long sought to be energy dependent. Doing so has led to less wars and less influence from outside governments. Are you really going to base your entire economy and civilian well being (because let's be real, we live in an electric world) on the promise that another country will always sell that energy to you at a fair price? Always? Never decide to change?
The real trick is getting people to not have the same year of experience over and over again.
My advice is to enable 2FA on your account and then Google pretty much leaves you alone. Last I checked you did have to provide a phone number when initially turning on 2FA, but once you have any other 2FA method defined (totp, u2f, recovery codes, etc) you can then remove the phone number.

Without 2FA it can be a real pain to recover a Google account if you get locked out.
People's reasons for driving through a freaking city include 'couldn't be bothered to walk', 'couldn't be bothered to take public transport', and in the case of the person I'm replying to, literally 'sometimes I just get in my car and drive for no reason at all'.
We're still a few iterations away from what I call the primordial network that could lead to that. We need some sort of automatic peer-to-peer communication between nodes, that is not in place yet, but I'm guessing will become norm in the future to solve a different problem.

I think "Edge computing" is taking us to that direction.

Choosing a language isn't like trading. You don't win by sticking to one. You rather lose by not knowing the strong points of each without trying any others.
SLBM are big, a Trident II is 13.6m long and 2.11m wide[0] and Ohios need to fit them straight up plus the hull, so we're talking 14m moulded depth or so (excluding the sail),

There are designs that use the sail, the North Koreans are using that configuration. They took old Romeo class and extended the sail back along the hull to fit 3 launch tubes. But the tubes extend so far down into the hull that they have had to remove batteries in order to do it. Which is a pretty severe compromise as what you absolutely want in such a sub is endurance.

Interestingly they have designated those missiles Pukkuksong, which translates as... Polaris!
Yes, they have, lots of public data. The latest show that autopilot on is just slightly better than a human re. safety (but Teslas overall are about 10x safer than the average car already).
It's funny that we always associate soviet technology as crude and uncomfortable, but in some instances, they are actually more comfortable; (Not always, sometimes)
I don't quite understand why you're being so pedantic about this. The earliest reference I could find was from 1987, theorizing that proto-planetary objects could be ejected from a planetary disk and that this likely happened in our solar system due to sling-shotting from Jupiter[1]:

> After Jupiter had accreted large amounts of nebular gas, it could have gravitationally scattered the planetesimals remaining nearby into orbits which led to escape from the Solar System.

But this was purely speculative. It wasn't until many years later that the planet was actually observed.

> After billions of years, I would expect all planets be attached (gravitationally) to a star, shouldn't they?

I am not sure what you mean by that. All planets are formed in disks surrounding a star (or possibly a brown dwarf); rogue planets are planets that were able to escape the influence of that star. It might take billions of years before they get close enough to another star in the galaxy to fall into its influence.

Just my personal opinion. Don’t use Google Services for “critical” use cases like storing personal photos. If they have the ability to ban/ shutdown your Google Account without recourse, I wouldn’t be using their services for anything other than searches, junk mail account for newsletters. There are plenty of companies out there with very reliable products that serve customers with respect for a tiny fee.
Agree with all of that, except that for some companies logos are used as a substitute for internal expertise.

Most people who know what they're about will also know that companies sometimes pay to have other companies use their product, just for the logo on the presentation. Or that it could just be used in one little local office of a multinational. Or that it's just shelfware, bundled with whatever it is they bought that they actually wanted.

Everyone else thinks, "Oh wow, X are using it? Must be good!" And it grabs those people as customers. And that's why it's done.
Why "Please Hurt Me Robin" is not a thing?
Not to speak of cases where there is an inaccurate perception of discrimination, perhaps because of a real family history of it happening in India.
About 'innocent', I'm not sure why I went for that choice of word. I think an earlier version of the comment in my head had "killed" instead of "starved" but that would include war casualties which are more ambiguous so the innocent thing. Either way, it was incoherent and you're right that "people" was a better choice of word. English isn't my native language but it's no excuse because I've been speaking and writing in it for years.

>To address the main point, history is full of this.

I agree, but I do feel it is relevant to acknowledge the portions of someone's legacy that aren't clean. The quote in isolation is a fair and fine one, I suppose. I would show more restraint in bringing up the cursory comment on Churchill if the context of the thread was something else entirely.
That my friend sounds very similar to a famous movie from the 80s!
Again, I find it amusing that you went straight to an authoritarian, and particularly uncharitable answer, when it is clear what my comment means in context of my previous comment. You know, the one that you read and responded to.

It's interesting that you went to that place when the TL;DR of my post is:

Can you really become a better person if you haven't attempted to undo harm you caused? If you have changed, part of that change is acknowledging that you harmed people, and how those actions were harmful. You can't acknowledge that you have harmed people, and then handwave that harm by ignoring it, and still say you are a changed person.

It's inherent to self-improvement that you would want to undo the harm that you have caused, if you understand it.

And if you don't, then can you be said to have improved?
Right, and that's a bad thing.

Mask proponents say we need to wear a mask to prevent us spreading our covid to other people.

When you touch your mask you transfer covid to your hands. You then need to clean your hands immediately. You may have excellent hand hygiene, but we know (because there are hundreds of studies on this) that most people do not wash their hands often enough, and don't wash their hands properly.

If the science is telling you to wear a mask it's telling you to keep it on and stop touching it.

Show HN: Use your webcam to animate an avatar and use it to make friends
Hello again, HN! I’m Wen Bo and I recently built and launched Alto - it’s an app that enables you to chat and connect with others while preserving privacy and comfort through customizable avatars animated by you.

I moved to San Francisco last November, and since then, I’ve found it difficult to meet new people due to sheltering in place and social distancing. I’ve tried apps like Chatroulette but found it uncomfortable using my video while chatting with complete strangers.

I wanted to create a safe virtual space for myself and others to connect without sharing our video feeds. I also didn’t want to sacrifice the visual cues that help us communicate in more meaningful ways.

You can customize your avatar by selecting from 7 skin tones, 10 hair styles, and 10 hair colors that are currently available. Feel free to join any room or invite anyone in the lobby to chat. Once you’re in a chat, you’ll speak as you normally do, and through your webcam, you’ll animate your customized avatar with your movements. Users you chat with will hear you and only see your avatar.

Here's my previous post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24824283.

Looking forward to your feedback and hope you make new friends!
