In other words, "and then a miracle occurs". I don't see how this requirement could ever be met in general. For particular cases (like first responders at an emergency being able to directly feed what they are seeing and doing), perhaps.
I could understand why a lot of people would want to do something like that to him, he seemed like a real shitbag, but it does make you wonder just who he pissed off bad enough for them to track him down and brutally murder him like that.

I remember back when they first found the body, there was some worry there was a random killer in the area. The squamish highway has a pretty bad reputation for murders as it is. But, this seems like something premeditated.
I don't get it. What's wrong with normal CORS? They do work for private networks. Also I don't think browsers are the right place to do this kind of protection.
And on a related note, I just put on yesterday's Under the Radar podcast episode, and their main topic is complaining about this same stuff.

Makes me fell a little better knowing that professional iOS developers are having a similarly hard time with this, I was starting to feel dumb about it. I'm reading the docs, why can't I figure out how to use this?
Oh, good. So something less to worry about. /s
I really hope that Firejail becomes more popular at least on par with Qubes OS and to make it more popular hopefully someone can make a Linux distribution based on it. It utilizes seccomp-bpf before eBPF is even a thing, and what a smart programming move with virtually no library dependency. As they always say security is as strong as your weakest link.

Talking about programming, the author of Firejail is most probably the same anonymous programmer who wrote RCP100, a little known slick layer 3 switch/router. The RCP100 codes has been touted as the best quality code ever written in C code alongside Redis[1].

I've kept a spreadsheet to compare the last polling estimates from fivethirtyeight.com with the actual election results. Although there may be 8 or 9 million votes left to count, the percentages are probably good enough to make some comparisons.

What I saw was an average polling error of 4.9 percentage points. The actual results for Trump were 4.9 points higher than the polls. And the errors were greater in states that had higher percentages of votes for Trump.

For example, North Dakota: The last polls showed 37.9% for Biden and 59.6% for Trump, a 21.7% difference. The latest popular vote tally from CNN shows 31.8% to 65.1%, which are 33.3% apart. That's an 11.6% error, much larger than expected sampling errors of 3-4%.

Shor's explanation was interesting. Whether the explanation is right or not, I can see the effect Shor is describing.
Of course! Unlike the other imaginary hypocrisy in this thread, I actually saw someone on reddit say this exactly. They were just there to vote, and they were asked to turn their BLM mask inside out while they were there.

Of course they can. They can do $0 _and_ fuck someone else's life over out of spite, vindictiveness, or company policy.

I'm with all the other poster saying what General Catalyst, while almost certainly at least party for self interested reasons, deserve praise and respect for doing this. I know with certainly that there's a bunch of people reading here who'll now move a General Catalyst offer/termsheet right up the top of their pile sometime in the next few years. I hope this works out well for both General Catalyst and for future startups and founders who work with them.

Just want to give a shoutout to the author for giving a fairly unbiased take here. Sex work is stigmatized way more than it should be, and with places like OnlyFans making it a (relatively) safe option there's a lot of people who are able to make money while maintaining autonomy. I've noticed especially among people working in tech there's quite a bit of sex-work shaming that goes on. Hopefully this article helps break some of that programming.
This is my personal experience: over the course of my life, I have held both conservative positions and more progressive ones (depending on the topic, and in different periods of my life). I have always been much more willing to discuss openly those positions that I would describe as progressive.

This is despite the fact that over the years I have been living in more than a handful of different countries, each one with different cultural norms. So I think there must be some sort of general tendency, where conservative opinions tend to be disclosed less frequently. I don't know why that is the case, and I would like to hear if anyone has an answer.

Yeah close rate is a good alternative way to look at it. GC can always have Josh as a founder reference to chat with a founder on the fence - at current market they could probably turn over in one deal (i.e. opp to invest in another business they wouldn't have won otherwise, at the same amount as Baremetrics). Great move for everyone!
With the Hispanic vote there are two things happening:

Firstly "Hispanics" is way too diverse a demographic to ever vote as a block. Cuban Hispanics in Miami vote very differently to people of Mexican extraction in California. That in itself will cause some variation election-to-election.

Secondly, and specific to this election: Republicans were very effective in their door-to-door registration and get-out-the-vote campaigns in "new voter" Hispanic communities in Florida and Texas. The Democratic party avoided this because of COVID-19 and it cost them badly.
Plus an awesome multi-core solution.
I love this article, and it's one of the things I point colleagues to, every time I introduce them to HN.
You might find therapy much cheaper than the cost of cleaning up the mess when this gets worse.
1. The market those as "Pro"

2. Their entire presentation focuses on editing large image files, editing 4k video, machine learning, and graphics-intensive games (games were mentioned more than anything else)

So, given how these are marketed, they are extremely low on RAM and storage.
Disagree. Engineers of that system surely knew it wasn't E2E and voiced it, but marketing purposely lied. I will bet my farm on that.
There was only ever one $800k "given". You're making it sound like "today" they went all in on $1.6mil in total. That isn't what happened.
giving everyone a platform is a noble goal from some perspectives, but is it also what makes up the worse parts of platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube. suddenly every crackpot and grifter has been given room to spread their garbage opinions and views. just look at the massive disinformation and radicalization pipelines that have popped up. letting people beam info right into their heads would only make this issue worse.

I'm am not trying to say gatekeeping information platforms would solve this or is even morally correct - I am just trying to demonstrate the downsides of such a system that lets the floodgates open to content creation with lax moderation. if you want some semblance of truth and accuracy in the media people consume, it doesn't hurt to have some bounds on what is an acceptable source of news (again with caveats)

We all have bias and there is no point in denying it. But that shouldn't stop people in professions like journalism aiming for independence and neutrality. People can be honest and intellectually honest, follow the evidence and logic impartially, in spite of their biases. The problem comes where they see their role as something different; then they become propagandists and political partisans who hide behind their supposed impartiality.

Reminded me of PG's article on how to build the next Silicon Valley: http://www.paulgraham.com/siliconvalley.html

PG's thesis was building a new Silicon Valley requires a critical mass of nerds and investors in one physical location.

Even with the rise of remote work, I think this still holds true.

Everyone can move to random places around the US, but ultimately, I think they will feel lonely because they're not surrounded by other like-minded nerds.

No magnitude of Zoom meetings can simulate the feeling of being physically surrounded by others like yourself.

With no clear alternative for physical location, I think everyone will come back after shutdowns end.
Another key point is that 31 and 28 are well short of 51.

What's the plan to get there?
He was still wrong though. The ban isn't on anything that might seem vaguely political... gay pride flag, blue line flag, trans flag, UAW hat, etc.

Seconded.

It’s often valuable to use jargon from another discipline in discussions. It sort of kicks discussions out of ruts. Many different disciplines use different terminology for similar basic principles. How those other disciplines extend these principles may lead to entirely different approaches and major (orders of magnitude) improvements. I’ve done it myself a few times.

On another note, the issue of “jargon” as an impediment to communication has led the US Military culture to develop the idea of “terms of art”. The areas of responsibility of a senior officer are so broad that they enter into practically every professional discipline. The officer has to know when they hear an unfamiliar term that they are being thrown off by terminology rather than lack of understanding. Hence the phrase “terms of art”. It flags everyone that this is the way these other professionals describe this, so don’t get thrown or feel dumb.

No one expects the officer to use (although they could) a “term of art”, but rather to understand and address the underlying principle.

It’s also a way to grease the skids of discussion ahead of time. “No, General, we won’t think you’re dumb if you don’t use the jargon, but what do you think of the underlying idea...”

Might be a good phrase to use in other professional cultures. In particular in IT, because of the recursion of the phrase “term of art” being itself be a term of art until it’s generally accepted. GNU and all that...

HN tends to devalue the individual, and value the content. (E.g. high quality comment by a not famous person)

Twitter seems to value the individual, but devalue the content. (E.g. low quality posts by a famous person)

The former is more meritorious, inasmuch as the vote base can accurately judge a comment. The latter is more consistent, in that popular people stay popular (and admittedly, are popular for a reason).

Personally, I prefer the HN-style model, but I also believe it only works as long as the ratio of HN-encultured users to bad / average actors stays above a certain threshold. From a technical and vote system perspective, HN isn't that different than Reddit: what makes it HN is the culture and community.
You can say that about a lot of interest groups
It's not that any sort of moderation is an attack on free speech. It is that the meaning of the word "moderation" is being stretched and warped. When those sites began, moderation was removing illegal content (illegal in the US), and community moderation was ensuring on topic discussion. You could essentially say whatever you felt like, and those places didn't devolve into cesspools of hate.

Nowadays even on topic discussion and critical and informed discussion of controversial topics is "moderated". In some communities it is so bad that even by the letter on topic discussion that deviates from some community orthodoxy is removed. Worse still, in a lot of cases groups of moderators share lists of people to crusade against.

The problem I have is that the old, actual definition of moderation is used to show how productive communities can exist, and then that is given as an justification for this new form of suppressive moderation that does not produce productive discussion.

The distinction must be made between moderation and control of narratives. You might not want to call it censorship because it isn't a government doing it, but it isn't the same as what internet perusers have always referred to when we use the word " moderation".

I know exactly what you mean - I've taken years off work to do with my time as I please, and I find that only people who have completely broken out of the cycle for 2+ months can relate. My biggest advice to you is to start searching for a new job now, and when you get offers make it clear you're only available to work 3 days a week (or 4, or 2, whatever you want).

It will take time and hard work, and it will pay off for the rest of your life.

There's a "history rhymes" kind of dynamic to this.

The first recognizable, critical-mass online social media(broadcast, topic driven, message posting) came from BBS operators, mailing lists, Usenet and proprietary variants.

The moderated ones gradually disappeared as users migrated; the unmoderated ones drowned in noise over time. Pieces of it still survive as relics.

The next generation was website driven: home pages, forums and weblogging. Again, a similar pattern: moderated places disappeared, unmoderated ones drowned. But, this time the scale was larger, with different dynamics. Self-publishing was getting easier: at first there were web rings, later a "blogosphere" emerged. Forums were more varied.

But again, some relics were left over.

And from there, social media platforms started emerging, aggregating the space. And each one in turn has followed this life cycle, on slower or faster timelines. Moderating keeps the signal alive, but after a few years people tire of the status quo and look for the next thing, somewhere with fewer gatekeepers, perhaps, or more structure, or stronger or weaker identity models. The signal decays in amplitude rather than drowning in noise.

What tends to be overlooked in social networking and virtual worlds discussions is that there's always a quality-of-service tradeoff dynamic to them. If you engineer the rules to improve one area you may lose some others. This is true even when looking at search systems: they retrieve correlated info that often has an intentionally wrong meaning.

Trunk Based Development: Monorepos
TimescaleDB behaves more like a regular relational database, while Influx is fairly different and has some interesting nuances that you'll need to understand if you want to have a table with a bunch of columns. For example having a lot of metadata columns has different performance implications than having a high cardinality of actual measurements (although it's been long enough since I've used Influx I don't remember what those differences actually are)

If you're used to writing SQL, TimescaleDB is much easier to write queries with although if you get over the learning curve both of the query languages in Influx seem very powerful

One notable advantage of Influx is its integrations with other tools for ingest and visualization, and it seems like 2.0 is doubling down on that
