Nothing that would meet some arbitrary, establishment defined definition of 'corruption.' The fact that the sons and daughters and son-in-laws and daughter-in-laws, extended family and close friends all end up in cushy no-show non-profit chairmanships where they launder corporate donations to family foundations, drive their fleet of foundation owned cars, live in foundation owned mansions and accrue their foundation pensions is the sort of perfectly legal corruption people have in mind. The sentiment appearing here is correct; not a cent of the money invested by the EU in semiconductors will escape the clutches of establishment grandees and instead find its way to anyone that knows how to compete effectively with prevailing foundries, so don't expect to find any European manufactured chips troubling TSMC et al. in this lifetime.
I noticed this too. I am a casual observer in politics, but see what both sides are up to typically via r/politics and thedonald. /r/thedonald was mostly memes and some disillusionment. The new site is a call for absolute civil war.

It has never been cheaper and easier to operate in several languages. Seriously, translation and internationalization is as cheap as it can get (and most folks in Europe are at least bilinguals!).

What they need to focus on is a unified marketplace and harmonized regulation. Now each tiny country has it's special snowflakes regulations (how to accept payment, who and how to pay taxes, huge amount of paperwork to get employees and ultra-restrictive labor laws). I mean it's good as a job program to keep EU civil servants employed, not so much to bootstrap a tech ecosystem!
Good point. I wonder how much expertise would actually transfer over from ICE manufacturers.
There is a difference between thinking that something might happen, and seeing it actually come to pass.
This is ridiculous. Regardless of your politics, this is just going the wrong direction. Where was this policy when the other side was pushing the Russia collusion narrative for years?
If instead of googling for 15 seconds you had any real experience about developing apps that need to run in the background (like I do), you would know that this 'background running' is a joke.

The only way to run an app non-stop is to have a persistent notification. And even then, apps are killed off left and right by the likes of Samsung. See https://dontkillmyapp.com for more details
This is such an unbelievably bad idea, especially if they are trying to avoid regulation.

Even if we agreed, for some reason, that widespread fraud did not possibly happen and no possible evidence could ever be discovered to suggest it might have, they are going to have a ton of collateral damage that will effectively ban legitimate inquiry and discussion of the topic, including any neutral or objective attempts to analyze the data if it even leaves open questions.

Previous elections, particularly the Florida debacle, were the subject of a ton of statistical analysis and voting machine security research for years after the election. This is useful.

In this election, there were a lot of things that looked odd at first glance. I’m sure many people saw the huge vertical spike in Biden votes. A reasonable person would see that and say it looks suspicious, we should find out why. And as part of that process, an explanation was found, and this served a useful purpose in giving us confidence that this anomaly was nothing nefarious and was not cause for concern. What exactly do you think happens when you suppress our ability to do that?

All of this because our youtube nannies want to decide what we should or shouldn’t see? If Trump is being a moron, I have the right to watch him be one first hand. I want to know how dumb my president is. Why would anyone want Youtube deciding this for me?

Such an utterly stupid move youtube.

I don't know the details here, hopefully these laws are extremely tightly scoped. Being able to be put in jail for speech doesn't sound like something that is "working pretty well" to me.
It still has the pseudo-vi key bindings that you can turn on in settings. I've been really satisfied with how fast it is to do anything because of the key commands + relatively quick response and autocomplete (except click on links because I have to turn off Vimium for Gmail).
Going through that right now and the anxiety is awful. I’m glad I have a therapist.
The media breathlessly reports allegations in complaints as fact all the time. Stacey Abrams' case against Brian Kemp over the 2016 election was voluntarily dismissed without the court ever reaching the merits. The media reported on the complaint, and an early ruling granting Abrams discovery, but of course never reported the quiet voluntary dismissal when nothing turned up.
IMO CentOS stream isn't problematic as such, and neither is CentOS "classic" switching to stream; distros evolve all the time. The basic idea of stream seems like a decent one as such. Some may not like it, but that's okay. In my opinion, the problematic part is that the EOL date of CentOS 8, released last year, suddenly shifted from 2029 to 2021.

For years CentOS promised long-term stability and "boringness", which was its main selling point. A very long support cycle was its main selling point. It's why people installed CentOS, and now, suddenly, that's gone.

I don't think it matters that it's free in this case; they made a commitment/promise and suddenly went back on that. I wonder what all the sponsors[1] think of this; I'd be pretty darn peeved if I would sponsor something like CentOS, and it suddenly shifted direction like this.

Because it wasn't a charade. The US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence found that collusion occurred between Russian nationals, and possibly Russian intelligence, and the Trump campaign.

You missed a step: There were several "community editions of RHEL", including Scientific Linux, which merged into CentOS (because why duplicate effort). They're not terribly happy either.

I still have friends whose votes weren't counted according to their state's Secretary of State website.

I'm not even sure what's the point: Supressing misleading info prior to the election is one thing, but the election is over.

No amount of censorship will convince skeptics.
How do you describe "far-right"?

Edit: the reason I ask the question is that I've noticed a trend among people from very left-leaning areas to define anyone slightly right of center as being "far-right". I've been called "far-right" because of beliefs that were typical of moderate Democrats in the 1990s.

What label that leaves for people like actual Nazis, fascists, neo-Confederates, etc, I'm not sure. Far-far-far right?
Mass censorship never ends well, regardless of the justifications given.
How long have you been out of Texas? I think we know people aren't coming to Texas to live in Tyler; They are moving to the cities, Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, which are all diverse, and have large gay communities.

Even Tyler has changed. (old article, but still)

I suppose it would depend on whether the claims in the video have been substantiated, e.g., by the intelligence community. A video talking about Russian interference via targeted facebook ads would be fine.

On the other hand, a video claiming Russian agents infiltrated thousands of voting centers with sleeper agents should probably not get through the filter.

Though as with any content filters, there will be edge cases, false positives, false negatives, etc. that will all pose a problem.

This is the fundamental problem of common user spaces on the web these days: a failure to impose standards will often result in a toxic environment. Yet attempting to impose standards is something of an arms-race game of whack-a-mole.

I think HN only manages the balance somewhat decently because the users themselves are also highly interested in productive conversation and mostly downvote -> dead comments that are likely to provoke flaming instead of discourse.
> Houdini is a set of low-level APIs that exposes parts of the CSS engine, giving developers the power to extend CSS by hooking into the styling and layout process of a browser’s rendering engine. Houdini is a group of APIs that give developers direct access to the CSS Object Model (CSSOM), enabling developers to write code the browser can parse as CSS, thereby creating new CSS features without waiting for them to be implemented natively in browsers.

I think you're ignoring the point being made. The point stated wasn't "The first amendment applies to Youtube therefore freedom of expression should be allowed on Youtube". The point stated was closer to "Freedom of expression is important so it should be allowed on Youtube".
Mr. Musk is a closet Trump supporter.
It's not out of touch to question metrics when it appears a company was dumped on public investors with no profitability in sight. Growth is not success; profit is, growth is simply the mechanism by which you're supposed to reach profitability.

If we define success as cashing out, sure, success. It feels like the delta in journey between building a sustainable, profitable business that handsomely rewards you at your exit and "congrats on your lottery ticket" is growing by the day. Let's not kid ourselves, investor dollars chasing after your equity when you go public and with no evidence profitability is possible is a rare lottery ticket that has paid out (or maybe not so rare! See: Adam Neumann/WeWork).

EDIT: I want to really stress that this isn't "sour grapes" but more echo chamber fatigue. If you are founders at a startup, who grow it into a unicorn, are delivering value, your employees and customers are happy and delighted, and you're profitable, those are the folks who deserve to be congratulated when they IPO and become billionaires and are who you can learn the most from on your own startup journey.
You mean those dumb boomers and generation X'ers who were raised on the boob tube rather than YouTube.
Times change. At least in Austin (where most of the tech people go), the prevailing political viewpoints are pure coastal-envy liberal
your take is one of the nuttier ones i've seen during the pandemic

"Society chose to ban the vaccine, killing hundreds of thousands of lives that could have been prevented. This pandemic is effectively solely a problem caused by this decision."

you say this of literally the fastest development of a vaccine in the history of our planet. vaccines only work if people take them. people only take them if its safe. (and even when they are safe, anti-vax crowd actively works against uptake).

so your proposal is to give an untested vaccine to the entire planet, because the harms of doing that would be fewer in number in the short term while completely destroying the ability for society to deliver any vaccine in the future.

scenario plan for this: the next pandemic is 10x worse than this one and you blew all of society's goodwill on an untested vaccine this time around. nobody takes vaccine. everyone dies.
Here's yet another option that does essentially the same thing but doesn't provide a reference implementation for self-hosted push server. https://github.com/onepf/OPFPush/tree/master/samples/pushcha...

I've consistently seen orders marked Doordash that have been sitting for 30-45 minutes when I got to pick up my own food. They also have flaked several times on me-- no delivery after an hour. They seem to have a weakness dispatching drivers. The restaurants are doing their job.

What happens if the restaurant completes a Doordash order but then Doordash fails to deliver it and must issue a refund? Does that transaction still get recognized as revenue?
FWIW, several youtube celebrities have also spoken about having moved out - or expressed serious interest in moving out - of CA. Most have deliberately stated that taxes are a major reason, but they also cite increase in homelessness (which has become particularly bad in LA and SF) and related safety concerns as factors (especially considering how said high taxes are supposed to go towards fixing these issues).
I am reminded of the videos we have probably all seen of Flat Earthers doing experiments that are supposed to show whether the Earth is curved, the experiment does show a curve, and then they start to question why their experiment is failing rather than question their beliefs. Beliefs are a pretty strong thing.

It is much easier to stop harmful ideas from spreading rather than trying to argue down these harmful ideas once they have already taken a foothold in someone's mind.
Why? Its true.
Seems to be a common thread - if you want your phone to remain secure, it must be powered off before seizure. This way, there is no encryption key in RAM. As long as the key is sufficiently strong (random passphrase, not a 4-digit PIN), you have a reasonable guarantee that they will fail to crack it.
Practically speaking, network effects make it nearly impossible for alternative platforms to achieve the scale of their mainstream ancestors. Right-wing communities exiled from Reddit have much smaller audiences in their new homes.

I'm not so concerned with this level of "censorship" in and of itself. But what happens, when, inevitably, the media starts to demand the same out of Google, AWS, ISPs? That's the truly scary prospect.

EDIT: scary
I don’t know. I’m feeling the need for large gatekeepers especially in the media space. I have lost faith in the public’s ability to make reasoned decisions for themselves.
YouTube was originally about "you" publishing whatever you want to the "tube". Now it's turning into some kind of censored truth filter, which is not very appealing.
Imo they should instead put one of those disclaimers on all election related videos, linking out to a set of reputable sources for election results. Removing it just fuels conspiracy theories and directs people to more extreme platforms, downranking and adding proper sources at least has some chance of helping well-intentioned people get to accurate information.
You need to do more than just keep a backup of current state, if you want to deal with problems other than complete failure/destruction of the primary. What about accidental deletion and incorrect editing (done too long ago for "undo" to work)?
We've seen this hundreds of times throughout history. The Salem Witch Trials come to mind. Conspiracy theories need to burn their way through the population, reaching a crescendo until saner minds take sway.

These are the natural ebbs and flows of popular opinion. It's seldom rational even without conspiracy theories being involved. Trying to control this back-and-forth by shutting down one side of the conversation is just going to increase the pressure until the natural cycle continues.

I think _maybe_ YT has some sort of long-game in mind where they come out with a business model, but this doesn't appear to end well for them or any of us. Treating complex and sometimes chaotic systems as if they were simple ones doesn't make for good results. If you think the question is whether or not the claims are true, you're not even close to the critical conversation society needs to have right now.
That's fair. My tone was not supposed to be pleasant :)
I'd take it today with zero qualms.

Don't worry though, what is likely the "average" HN reader (30, male), is pretty much last on the list, so by the time we get it there will be tens or hundreds of millions of people who have received all of the various types of vaccines.
My reading of Tanden's tweet is that she's rebutting Trump's first sentence, not the second. Ie, Asserting that Russian hacking (in the form of releasing sensitive emails) was plainly sufficient to flip 70 kVotes (Donald Trumps cumulative margin in the states over the tipping point) and ignoring the question of whether "voting machines [were] touched".
I started investing in my 20's too, fortunately had a few good mentors who taught me the basics. Am talking the general population.

I really hope something is done against Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai's content. He's been posting highly misleading/disingenuous election fraud material in order to gain a following, and people are believing it because he touts his PhD from MIT. Honestly at this point between his senate run and "Inventor of Email" scandal I'm surprised MIT hasn't had a response.

For example, here's a video that debunks many of his claims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aokNwKx7gM8
At the same time, getting used to curation of informal speech and having intermediaries censoring this type of content has its own, potentially greater risks.
Honestly? Yes.

Yes, your example isn't complaining about then() being clearer than await (because it isn't) but rather complaining that top level await isn't everywhere yet.

In other words, your complaints have disappeared in node, and will soon in browsers: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-top-level-await

So yes:

Yep. You can make your own video uploader. Then build your own hosting provider. Which would use a payment processor that you also built. Which handles transactions from a bank that you created yourself as well.

I don't think he's presenting a dichotomy at all, false or otherwise.

To paraphrase heavily, he's delving into the fact that these are simply different things. Profit, free cash, EBITDA, etc. These have different implications. Particularly, they translate into capital very differently. Ability to borrow. Ability to raise equity. Pay dividends. This translates into radically different trajectories and outcomes.

In 2020 terms, you might also include growth rate, MAUs or the current trendiness of the startup. This also, essentially, translates into real world effects. Big ones.

Most people, including many "business people" don't quite realize the implications of a positive or negative float. The difference between a -20 day float to a +20. With a positive float, growing itself is cash generative. With a negative float, growing is cash consuming. A business might grow, produce less profit but more cash.

Outside of accounting, there's a tendency to dismiss this nuance as trivial and convergent in the long term. In reality, the future never comes. It's always the present.
Oh, so it IS TRUE!

Wow.
Pretty interesting to see how much glee many people take in anything negative about California. What is that about? No other state gets so much hate.
No, but if they were so obviously fraudulent so as to merit a media blackout, wouldn't we have established that by now? When there is actually a real dispute over authenticity, that's news.
Why should credibility matter? That is to say, how can the average person know that what they're reading is credible or not to make that determination and say "oh, CNN reported this and it's credible! Must mean that CNN is becoming more credible and I should watch it more because they have a better product" rather than "CNN is reporting this but it doesn't line up with what I want to believe, they must be wrong and not credible". Your metaphor doesn't make sense in a world where news stories are looked at skin deep, where someone doesn't even know that the toilet paper is scratchy it just _looks_ scratchy from the label or uncle Joe told me that it must be scratchy because it's made by Proctor & Gamble.
And just to add to the above . . .

This is not a problem confined to ancient texts. If you read The Great Gatsby any time before the 1990s, you probably read a quite "corrupt" version of it. And, of course, there's Hamlet -- a textual situation so complicated, that some scholars have spent most of their careers trying to work it out.
> Maybe it's high time to leave where I am seeing this all go on.

From my own experience, I would say yes.
+1 on that. Plus you can breathe the air and the electricity stays on most of the time.
If you are attempting to follow the advice of business books verbatim that could be the problem.

Most / all of the good ones I have read tell one view of what led to success. I take what I learn and attempt to apply it to my own schools of thought and with any luck come out of the exercise with a more well rounded opinion than I went in with.

Your post seems to advocate for peer reviews in business books as well, don’t you think that unbiased reviews from readers fill that need?

This is a really dangerous line of argument for an example where one platform has a de-facto monopoly on views, whose censorship is fine-grained enough that people open to these other ideas simply won't be able to find them.

It makes a lot of sense for individual publications, or even Reddit banning certain communities, since people looking for alternatives will know to do so. It's a lot more insidious in a case like this, since there's no clear indication that anything is missing.
Fair point, I read "Democrats" rather than "Government."
