I counted 57 different tools or apis across all the different functions, not included the deprecated stuff. All of this justifiably used by just Jake, who is doing it all. On one hand, that's awesome and inspiring, and on the other that seems like of knowhow to acquire and to maintain. What kind of overhead goes into one person maintaining an operating environment that complex? I imagine installs, configuration, and and upgrades all need to just work. I imagine as well it pays to keep your usage of whatever pretty vanilla and simple. I don't see simpler ways to do stuff. I guess I just wonder what a bad day in the office looks like.

I made a huge mistake of not applying there and to MIT. I was concerned about the heat in Pasadena and the piles of snow in Boston (silly me. why don't Ivy's relocate someplace nice like Hawaii?). I aced the math SAT-I section without studying and was in GATE and NMS. Instead, I went to a top 50 public state research uni (that became a party school just as I got there) because it was a sure thing. I think I learned more and developed more initiative because it was so sink-or-swim, and the standards were high and the assistance was low. I even hustled an undergrad paid research gig in a top security lab to fix grad students' and postdocs' network code that looked like spaghetti after being puréed in a blender.

I recently started using tiktok. I cannot believe, how much I love that app.

Im pretty sure there are only a few small things that tiktok needs to do. And a few mistakes they shouldn't do.

When they succeeds in doing those things, and if social media is a zero sum-game, it will kill all its competitors.

Ask HN: Shouldn't PGP keyservers be redesigned to be compatible with GDPR?
The GDPR allows individuals to request correction or deletion of their personal data, as well as restrict the usage done with this personal data, for example, request that the data is not shared with third parties. The GDPR also allows a user to request the list of third parties with which their personal data has been shared.
Also, please note that the GDPR legally protects European users also from organisations located outside the European Union.

The nature of the information stored on PGP keyservers makes it personal data, as it allows to identify individuals related to this data, using their email address.

PGP keyservers are implemented to 1) synchronise keys (and the associated revocation data) and 2) make the keys immutable (they cannot be deleted, only revoked).

Now, if any user protected by the GDPR wanted to have their personal data (thus keys) modified or deleted, any organisation that would be requested for this change would have a hard time not completely taking down their PGP keyserver in order to comply. PGP keyservers and their key sharing protocol are old systems that are barely maintainable. They just run, and until GDPR, it was enough. It might prove difficult to modify their code reliably...

I think a redesign of keyservers is long due. Actually, I am not even sure that keyservers are necessary at all. Why not just have PGP keys published using DNS?

Any thoughts?

You've hit the nail right on the head.

When I first started using airbnb, I would run into these awful listings because I was scraping the bottom of the proverbial barrel.

On a visit to Boston, I once stayed in a cheap AirBnb in the bad part of Methuen, MA, where the local grocer knew I was from out of town because I paid in cash and not food stamps.

My wife, on the other hand, always reads the reviews and I've never had a single bad experience travelling with her.

If you go by price you get what you pay for. This isn't a failing of AirBnb, its how life works.

You assume you know more about this fictional car than the fictional employee actually (um, I mean fictionally) building it.

You should apply for management.

It's mostly regulatory arbitrage, same as Uber.

If cities and townships were to have looser regulations on hotels - which evidently they should, given the vast demand and 'mostly' it's not excessively problematic for communities - then AirBnB wouldn't exist because hotel prices and types would have much more variety and competitiveness, and so would listings.

If anyone could just get in their car and tell the local dispatcher 'they want to drive tonight' - probably Uber would have never been able to come to fruition in the first place.

I'm not saying that either company is good or bad, or that the regulations are good or bad, rather, that the underlying business models depended on a kind of civil regulatory asymmetry.

Personally, I wish cities would adjust their regulations to be more appropriate, I don't think there needs to be an Uber or AirBnB.

This feels like a rather dishonest interpretation of the parent comment. The restrictions in many countries have gone far beyond "wearing a mask and caring about others".

The government is certainly taking away your civil liberties by severely restricting your ability to meet your friends or even go outside.

What point are you trying to make by being deliberately obtuse? It isn't "just wear masks and care about people", it's also being prevented from seeing friends and family, and not being allowed to go to work. Not everyone is fine being alone for 6+ months.

Plenty of criticism of Apple itself, but that is not a criticism of their customers.
My recollection is that you had to actually have a reasonable justification to be given an official master key, but if you acquired an unofficial master (such as by borrowing someone's official master and copying it) nobody would bother you about it.

When I was there (late 70s, early 80s) the best masters were actually not official masters. The best were Whitehead masters, made by a student named John Whitehead. He hand filed a master with intentional deviations from ideal designed so that when you copied it, the copying errors would make it closer to ideal. Whitehead masters were copies of that hand filed key.

Several people from campus security used Whitehead masters instead of their official masters because the Whitehead ones worked better.

I had an accidental master for a while. My room key happened to function as a master when inserted halfway. I don't remember how I discovered that. I'm assuming that they have long since changed the lock systems, but on the off chance they have not, it was room 21 of Ricketts.

Its true that we (Americans) don't have a the right to free speech with a private company.

But that doesn't mean we should stop talking about it.

Clearly there is reason to believe people cannot express themselves freely enough.

When all modes of modern communication are privately owned and there are no government run equivalents it does kind limit expression.

Nowadays you are limited to where exactly that you can express yourself within your first amendment rights?

Let's see, a police station, a courthouse, a town hall meeting, and a protest.

Did I miss any?

Nothing on your smart phone that is for sure.

None of these places have reach or exposure equivalent to facebook, twitter, youtube, etc.

Change cannot come if we refuse to acknowledge the existence of a problem. We cannot bring about meaningful change by refusing to talk about an issue.

There are many ways to solve this issue, but ignoring it or saying that all is as intended is not one of them.

We must demand meaningful change from our governments.
I agree with you, but the one that doesn't make any sense to me is the ones coded as "Alzheimer disease"....8,253 deaths coded as that, but it's from COVID?

Security almost certainly doesn't patrol the tunnels with any regularity (they're uncomfortable to be in, after all), especially after the recent switch to contracted security. Maybe they'd patrol the entrances on occasion. The majority of doors are silent-alarmed, but plenty of students know which ones :)
I fee like I've gone around on TikTok. At first it was a joke and a silly waste of time, then it blew my mind with how subversive and funny it could be, then I was scrolling it for hours at a time, then I felt uncomfortable, now I rarely even open it.

It's a bit like a drug. Heroin is supposedly extremely good, meth too. Yes, TikTok manages to find and repeatedly push that little satisfaction button in your brain in a surprisingly sophisticated way. That does not mean that it is good or healthy.
The lock at your door is also assumed to effectively control who can open it, but as we know keys can be dupplicated. However, it is not possible to copy it without access to your original key and the necessary effort. This is sufficient for the legislator. It would be different if you hung your key on the outside of the door a priori, like Youtube does.
GrubHub is quietly replacing restaurant phone numbers on Yelp
This whole discussion is a good reminder why any analysis is always subjective. If there is an actual fault in the underlying numbers, fine, but what I see reading the thread is people finding ways to justify why the data is incomplete, there are still more people dying, we need to fear covid, etc.

I've seen the articles that talk about excess deaths, and then the posts are all affirming that yes, we need to fear covid, people are dying, etc.

I think there is obvious evidence that covid is a real disease that kills people, but the cherry picked reactions that people have to data saying different things drives home that analysis is always political, not some kind of objective thing we can hold up as beyond criticism.

See climate change...

> his combination of data and code in a strict hierarchy means that all data access patterns are baked into this dependency tree

I believe OOP is really good at modelling state and really bad at modelling data.

With state (and side-effects modeled by state machines) you want a well-defined interface, messages, local retention and so on. This way you get the benefit of reasoning about state in a constrained manner both as the caller and the callee.

For example it makes sense to model Mario as a state-machine that receives messages from game-pad (pressed buttons) and collision events. Note that this is a conceptual, high level kind of modelling and not a concrete, structural one.

But data is about something. There is data about Mario at any given point in time: his physical dimensions, his velocity, consumed power ups and so on.

This is where OOP makes no sense at all. Reading and transforming data should be universal/uniform rather than guarded by idiosyncratic getters, setters and so on.

This is why SQL, JSON, XML, HTML, Unix filters, AWK, Functional Programming etc. are so powerful. These technologies provide/enable a uniform/universal way of reading data and composing transformations.

(As a side-note: I consider state that never leaks as an implementation detail, usually for performance)
I never understood the fascination people have with self-referential 'paradoxes' like : "This statement is False".

Pronouns do not have an independent existence.
Until the pronoun 'This' resolves to an actual statement which has a valid true/false property, it is a recurrence without termination i.e. a infinite loop, that has no meaning.

Suppose I say:
1. Sky is blue.
2. Previous statement is True.
3. Previous statement is True.

And ask you 'Is Statement 3 is True or False?'. You would say 'First I need to know what 'previous' refers to', so you would do pronoun substitution for the word 'Previous' in Statement 3:

3. 'Previous statement is True' is True.

Since this statement has an unresolved pronoun, you would do pronoun substitution for the word 'Previous' in Statement 2:

3. ''Sky is blue' statement is True' is True.

Since there are no more unresolved pronouns, you would evaluate the statement 'Sky is blue', and then the next Statement 2, and finally Statement 3, and say 'Yes, Statement 3 is True'. So far, so good ?

Now, suppose I say:

1. This statement is False.

And ask you 'Is Statement 1 True or False?'. You would say 'First I need to know what 'This' refers to', so you would do pronoun substitution for the word 'This' in Statement 1:

1. 'This statement is False' statement is False.

Since this statement has an unresolved pronoun ('This'), you would do pronoun substitution again.

- ''This statement is False' statement is False' statement is False.

Since this statement has an unresolved pronoun ('This'), you would do pronoun substitution once more.

- '''This statement is False' statement is False' statement is False' statement is False'

And you will keep doing pronoun substitutions forever since statements with unresolved pronouns cannot have a True/False property.

I find this teenage-girl-at-a-rock-concert-feigned-fascination with self-referential 'paradoxes' silly.

> "Let local residents handle it" is also how we have legal marijuana and gay marriage.

Well, no, we nationally have gay marriage because of federal court decisions voiding state actions prohibiting same-sex marriage as violations of the federal Constitution.

And we don't have legal marijuana anywhere in the United States (we have states which have chosen not to layer state prohibition on top of federal prohibition for some acts involving marijuana, an federal law mandating deferring prosecution for certain acts involving medical marijuana that are consistent with state law. Anyone who actually makes significant money in marijuana would still be subject to the federal drug kingpin laws were the policy deferring prosecution ever to be lifted, and technically without that if any part of their business involved any acts not entirely within the required deferral of prosecution.)
>Mathematical Challenge Eight: Beyond Convex Optimization
* Can linear algebra be replaced by algebraic geometry in a systematic way?

I think this is probably by far the most useful, practical and relevant challenge to be solved for science and engineering, and perhaps closely follows by the stochastic and duality challenges.

For computer science and engineering it is the popular "Gimbal lock" problem in 3-D environment in which linear algebra cannot comprehensively represent but easily represented by geometric algebra or quaternions.

Similarly in electromagnetics (EM) wave propagation, due to the prominent effect of polarization (other waves like sound does not has polarization), comprehensively modeling polarization with linear algebra is close to impossible. I kind of liken the geometric algebra unpopularity and conundrum similar to 18th mathematicians suspicious views when complex number was originally introduced and looks how far we have got now by embracing it [1]. Basically the discovery and utilization of complex number provide us with WiFi 6 and 5G. But if we want to move forward with robust and reliable wireless similar to wired (or close to wired connection reliability) we need to take control of EM polarization by embracing geometric algebra.

* a tech company is a company that makes technology that it sells to consumers and other businesses.

Amazon is a tech company, but only because of AWS, not the marketplace or its own retail operations.

AirBnB is not a tech company. Neither is Ebay.

Maybe we need a new term like "tech-dependent company" to describe most of what are currently termed "tech companies".
> if you want a phonemic transcription that can be read by non-native speakers, then it makes sense to do what Hepburn does and accurately represent the sounds (not the writing) of the language

When you say "non-native speakers" you mean "monoglot English speakers". Hepburn represents the sounds in a way that corresponds to English peculiarities; it's easier to read for English speakers and English speakers only (speakers of non-English languages with Latin orthographies find Nihonshiki easier). It makes sense for teaching materials aimed specifically at an English-speaking audience, but not on e.g. signs aimed at international tourists.
I just got an email from AirBnB outlining their plan to offer shares to hosts as a part of the IPO with first dibs to hosts that first came on the platform.

I don’t see why it ‘doesn’t make sense’.

It’s a clear distinction.

That why many people are saying ‘Sweden didn’t have a lockdown’.

What they mean is ‘Sweden didn’t have a legally mandated set of restrictions’.

This is just a true statement.

The fact that the Swedish government made recommendations that Swedes followed without using force of law is interesting, and informative.
