Depends on the experiment. Oil drop is based around something we "know" exists (the charge of an electron) and is just trying to measure it. Measuring a fundamental value is a very different kind of experiment than trying to determine if something exists at all in a wildly multi-variate system (most of the research suffering from reproducibility issues).

Not every experiment needs to be reproducible in exactly the same way, just like not every study needs to be double-blind. You need to interrogate the reason the experiment exists in the first place.

I guess another way of saying it is this: even though Millikan's actual final result is not reproducible because he fudged his numbers, the scientific method employed in the experiment is valid, which is really all you need in the case of that experiment.

The problem with medicine / psychology / other less "hard" research is that in many instances it doesn't matter if the method is reproducible if the results are not. If the goal is to show that eating pancakes cause depression the result is actually all that matters.

Thanks for the link, I will give it a read.
> removing barriers to municipal broadband as a goal, which is the only way you are going to get competition

Municipal broadband is the only way you’ll get competition? A “public option” seems to invite the very opposite of competition. Less regulation is how you increase competition — by allowing more new entrants into a market, you necessarily increase competition.

Municipalities should own the wire, not the service flowing through the wire. Making capital expenditures less expensive would encourage more service providers.
Actually, computation, in the classic sense used by Turing, Church, and other pioneers, refers to evaluating the value of (mathematical) functions. The word computation first appears in the earliest papers of the field which would later become computer science referring to "computable functions", which refers to functions which can be evaluated by a mechanical process. Hence saying "not everything computers do is computation".
I was just talking to a person today, it turns out there are parts of Western San Francisco that can't get good connectivity (without shelling out ~$100K to dig a trench or some shit.)
Very cool - but in a lot of ways I think that if you believed in the system of Karma then it worked?

You posted a high quality post (being first) and assume if you wrote the script you also took time to write an accurate title.

While it is arbitrary and noise you beat out those you posted 30 seconds ahead of - the same hours a bunch of people posted home videos, self-promotion, or old clips and didn't get any karma.

It is imperfect but the karma system had some desired effect.
It does, and we use it at work this way without difficulty. But its an exception. Windows is much more common among our users, even for Matlab.
I'm not sure how insulting people can be a crime?
Hmm I was separating the concept of "thread-per-core" from sharding. I would argue that typical cooperative task schedulers (e.g. work-stealing) get the performance benefits of thread-per-core without requiring any static partitioning.

But if thread-per-core is fundamentally tied to the idea of sharding, then I think I see what you're saying.
Update, it is fixed! WOW.

If your dev machine contains credentials, like private ssh keys, aws keys, npm auth tokens, github tokens, etc, the compromise still can do some damage.

One very real benefit that separation gives you is that if you consciously run your email and banking outside of the VM, you now have a VM barrier between those things, meaning the malware now can _only_ steal ssh keys and docker logins and such, not those and your email + banking account password.

But really, why stop at just one VM? Why not use Qubes [0] and put your email webbrowser in a different VM from your banking webbrowser, your nodejs development in a different vm from your ruby development?

Ask HN: Share nostalgic anecdotes here on HN about tech for posterity
Yeah, it feels to me that it used to be HTML, CSS, JavaScript, a server language like PHP, and a SQL database. Now it's just JavaScript (with JSX), JavaScript (with express), and a JSON store (MongoDB, etc). The term "javascript fullstack" in the submitted article just gave me pause, you can be "fullstack" and really know a stack that's one thing deep.
Germany has very different freedom of speech laws than the US. Personally I think the US has it right. You can’t claim free speech but then selectively decide what’s acceptable, politically correct, or moral. It’s a slippery slope.
Agreed, Thompson misinterprets so he can make his point, constantly "aggregation theory" and massive cut and pastes of prior posts to prove that he's right. He's interesting but in terms of making his case when confronted, he is a little reactive not heavy metal and reflective.

> OCaml fares pretty poorly at these (e.g., tooling, ecosystem, community, pace of improvement, mindshare, etc).

I think this is unfair and OCaml has a lot going for itself. The fact that it also has an active academic community of people who care about Fancy Type Systems does not strike me as an intrinsic downside.

To me, OCaml has a very different paradigm from most languages, and that can be a big strength. Implementing something in OCaml after you've written out the types can feel like you are doing a duet with the compiler.

Sorry but your quote is just not correct. You are mixing sentences from two sections of illegal things.

It is illegal to sell swastika stickers in Germany even if you don't engage in any propaganda.

You would need to have clear context that critizes the prohibited parties (e.g. swastika thrown into a trash can).

That's not what happened at all. He never attacked them for that. He debunked the nonsense that Tom Ritter was posting. The Tor Project never even considered using hardened_malloc either. I suggested that Whonix use hardened_malloc and so HulaHoop (another Whonix developer) asked if this could affect web browser fingerprinting on the mailing list. No Tor Project developer made any indication that they wanted to include hardened_malloc - quite the opposite.

Fwiw the degoogled phone experience is rough: I installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 4 XL 2 weeks ago (yes I appreciate the irony to have to use a Google phone to ... degoogle your life :)

The notifications aren't working properly: this morning my alarm didn't ring and this evening a reminder didn't fire either.

The Fdroid store is nice but it lacks a lot of well designed apps.

A lot of things aren't customizable like the ugly icons (looking at you Bromite! ;)

So for the first time my phone isn't my enemy but it's so limited that I'm not sure it's worth continuing using it.

For the first time I'm thinking going to Apple. I know their privacy stance is mostly marketing but they scare me less than Google. I don't know.
No relation? Fees to content providers are indeed allocated by their popularity, in aggregate. It's why ESPN gets paid (by the cable company) much more than other channels. The only difference in your proposal is the extremely inefficient calculation of millions of individual persons' viewing hours and moving pennies around for each.
Same as German. I wonder if actually English is just the exception and most other languages have this "rule"/trait.
That doesn't prevent dark UI patterns to highlight "Accept" and hide "Reject" as much as possible, or not having a "Reject all" button.

That actually depends. Some states put a large weighting on lifestyle costs. So even if Jill is making tons of money, she probably won't be required to pay anything if she has been spending it on a BMW and other expensive things. Even if that were not the case, most states would not require alimony if Bill is still working. Also, some states would consider the education costs a gift and it would not entitle Bill to anything.
No, the "total ban" mentioned in the BBC article existed only in the context of video games. Displaying the swastika has been allowed for many purposes for quite a while.

Balkan countries can't seem to agree on this question as well.

There's a current dispute between Bulgaria and (North) Macedonia. Basically, Bulgaria is not willing to recognize the Macedonian language, with their vice-prime-minister recently saying it's the "Esperanto language on the Balkans". They're also veto Macedonia's EU membership negotiations. It's an ongoing, heated discussion which has (unfortunately) caused hatred between the countries (North Macedonia and Bulgaria have been mostly friendly between each other in the past).
FYI a site owner can whitelist Tor as a "country" to stop mistreatment of Tor users. Of course, hardly anyone that uses Cloudflare does that.
I think you're right that this is often the case, and my heartfelt sympathies go to any engineer who struggles to do the right thing in that situation.

But in what sense are these kinds of internal politics NOT "unwillingness or inability", at least at the organizational level?

Organizations where managers are allowed to play political games at the expense of users' security are not to be trusted with any sensitive data, and need to be publicly called out and shamed if there's any hope to effect change.

I cannot believe that we went to a point where people will be censored for what they say without directly or indirectly harming anyone - except only the people who want to live with the illusion that everybody loves them! Being raised in a Commie country, this brings back memories... but it's even worse! People back then openly shared thoughts only in circles of trust. Personally, I'd rather allow people to say their hatred openly so that I know what they think rather than policing only their verbal output and disguise their thought process, which I only care about as that could lead to actions and harm! In fact, this censorship can only make people who have those destructive thoughts and ideas to do real harm more united as they now feel persecuted!

P.S. I didn't know there are so many censorships fans on HN!

Yes. And a big reason I am considering to move to the US. Germany (and most of Europe) is getting more and more scary.
Well, the thing is, in Germany we‘ve experienced first hand what happens when hatred goes rampant - when criticism turns to ostracism, hateful words to hateful deeds, inflammatory speeches to flame-filled cities.

And I‘m not just talking about Hitler and the Holocaust. Elected representatives of the people, from village mayors to members of parliament, are giving up their office because they can no longer bear the barrage of abuse and intimidation thrown at them. What starts online doesn‘t stay online. The current mayor of Cologne was stabbed the night before her election, a top Hessian state official shot dead in his own garden.

Democracy cannot survive indefinitely under an atmosphere of fear and hatred. If you want more examples, look at the end of the Roman republic, the Weimar republic, the pre-Civil-War United States. Free speech is a precious right. But if you abuse this right to undermine the very democracy that gives it to you, you have thereby forfeited it.
I've seen this name but still don't understand where's its root of trust. In other words:

- How does the program making use of it make sure it's not been patched so the code that's supposed to run in the enclave runs without one?

- How does it know it's not being run on an emulated CPU or in a VM? And that those checks haven't been patched out, too?

- How does it make sure the OS is cooperating? I assume there is some cooperation required from the kernel at least.

Why cant netflix just have a "translate" style flag symbol to say what country you are in?

So - one of my best friends who works at netflix along with his wife, who does translation there.... they are attempting to mask their library limits.... this is whay they killed ratings.

But my biggest complaint against netflix is they should have an icon in the corner of each that says "already watched"

I also want the ability to make playlists

They are amazing in streaming movies - but the UX is fucking retarded.

We live in a democracy and clearly, no, this isn't what people want. They want people to not lose any living standard over something "they can't help" like a divorce, and of course all animals are equal but some are more equal (kids and women). This money is not allowed to come from the state or justice system so it must come from the only source it can come from: whoever actually earns money.

So if you divorce, you should immediately become a total deadbeat, be broke and unemployed, ideally well on the way to homeless, by the time the trial happens. In contact with social services. Because men ALSO can't lose living standard. You won't get as much, because of course the justice system is sexist, but they're forced to give you something. Obviously the justice system cannot prevent this from happening. They may respond by placing the kid in foster care.

The net result of these laws: whoever is willing to most seriously damage the kid will have a decisive advantage.

Actually, everyone is talking about this: Big Tech has been beating this drum for years, and paying everyone else to talk about it. The source of this article, Conde Nast, has an incredibly close partnership with Google, and this whataboutism has no real place here.

This entire article is tech companies' public policy teams screaming "please look somewhere else!"

Meanwhile, Big Tech is vastly larger, vastly more profitable, has little regulation, and blanket immunity for what they do online (Section 230) while ISPs are heavily regulated, and report a fraction of the profits.
