Trump will continue to bellyache about it because his supporters will send him money to defeat the “deep state,” so expect more moronic headlines until the media decides to stop paying attention to him.
Striked, I find funny that searching the web still has the same user experience than in the 90' while most web sites are now apps. Feels like this model is outdated.

If it's on TV it's probably not the topic for HN.
You’d be surprised how much work goes into operating with that many subscribers. Top funnel, attrition, constant harassment, stolen content, fan requests, just to name some obvious ones.
There’s a blood test you can pay for.
Yeah for top tier in a lucrative industry this isn't surprising, and in fact low as you mention. For most of them this is only one revenue stream.

The last four years was already a nightmare of sore losing, what makes you think it's going to stop with the shoe on the other foot?
Why can't the phone company listen to private conversations? What does being paid have to do with their enforcement of their own property rights? Couldn't they just say in the EULA "we will listen to your calls and disconnect you if you say something we don't like"?
You should not be flagged for this.

Regardless of the validity* of many of the claims it is certainly relevant to the topic.

* And there are few debunked ones.
Since I'm being downvoted for what I thought is a common sense answer, here is a more elaborated one:

1. HN is a mostly technical forum, with a technically inclined user base.

2. Statistics show that there are less women working in Tech than men [1,2]. This can be translated in interest in Tech.

3. Only a fraction of those women would be on HN, and only a fraction of them would be pregnant.

4. One more data point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5520342

You can therefore safely assume that it's a very tiny number, which can not explain the NO responses of this poll.

We have a really strong presumption against what's called a prior restraint. It means you generally can't stop someone from publishing something, but you can sue them after.

This does two things. First, it makes it so that if someone feels strongly enough that they're right to be willing to risk the penalty, the public still gets the information. This is important. It's a check on the courts getting it wrong.

And the second is that in order to punish someone for speech, you have to prove it in court in a public adversarial proceeding where the person being punished has an opportunity to defend themselves and the claim is aired as part of the court record in a context where everybody knows that it's in dispute but the media and any interested party still gets to find out what it is.

This is obviously not what happens when you implement a general prohibition against all claims of election fraud with no meaningful opportunity for anyone to view the material being censored or make their case that it shouldn't be prior to its removal.
Huh, I have the opposite problem with Slack. I’m constantly missing messages on Slack, but I never did on Teams.

I very much like the "rediscover" part. The web has indeed lost it's charm when the results only show Facebook, Twitter and 10 or so other huge sites.

As for tagline, I'd suggest something along the lines of "Rediscover the web and escape your filter bubble!".

Sorry I should of been clearer, by worse I mean the virus living in more hosts. Not worse for us humans.

I agree on the vaccinated Vs unvaccinated life point.

Does that not depend on how the R number is calculated? Sure less people will be showing symptoms so less tests and less positive tests. We will not however know the true never of people carrying the virus. The R number may be growing after vaccination however we just don't show symptoms.

You might ask yourself why judges that Trump himself appointed are quashing his lawsuits. The answer is that the lawsuits fail to meet basic requirements of standing, evidence, remedy, etc.
If you have a group of services running inside a perimeter with secure entrypoint(s), issuing client certificates allows you to coarsely segment service-to-service interactions within that perimeter to contain blast radius from a malicious insider or service compromise.

You don’t need revocation because the credential is useless outside of the perimeter. If you find a malicious insider or a compromised service, you fix the service or lock the insider out of the perimeter. You’re glad that you had client certificates in place as it reduced the scope of the compromise. It would be nice if you could actively revoke any compromised credentials, but it’s not critical because you’ve locked out the offending user and/or fixed the compromised service.

Interesting, if an idle CPU costs 10x less, it ends up costing the same as 1 GB of memory, which amounts to about US$ 6/month each (Tier 1 pricing).

For an app with low usage, you start getting a price that can compete with Heroku.
He does consistently misspell it as "paradice" across multiple letters, but why is it necessarily intentional? Two potential explanations for the consistency are that he intended to call attention to it, or that he simply thought or assumed the word was spelled that way. It's a reasonable phonetic spelling, using an existing English word ("dice").

He has a lot of other phonetic misspellings like "victoms", "darck", "epasode", "pencel", "paterned", "cruse", "coupples", "untill", "allready", "dissapeared", "rubed", "positivily", "ventalate", "silowets", "choaked", "extreamly", "posibly", "twich", "comitt", "descise", "saterical", "comidy", "butons", "considerbly", "promiced", "shure", "inthusiastic", "phraises", "nucenses", "truley", and mistakes like "to many" and "loose" for "lose".

It's possible there's a meaning to it, but I suspect the most boring explanation is the most likely one, there. He may have spent a lot more time speaking than reading/writing and perhaps might not have finished high school, or maybe just happens to not have been very good at memorizing spellings.

His misspellings sound a lot like phonetic misspellings I still regularly see online today, and like how people tended to write English more phonetically and less consistently a few centuries ago. We take it for granted, but English really is not at all an intuitive language when determining spelling from pronunciation or vice versa, compared to more consistent languages like German.

He does seem to have an interesting affinity for using the letter "c" almost any time a soft "c" or hard "c" could be called for, and sometimes eliding other letters. Like "twich", "darck", "promiced", and "paradice". I wonder if an automated analysis of basically every piece of writing you can find from around that time and area, taking some of those patterns into account, could uncover something. Like every single physical letter written to every newspaper about anything. It'd probably require way too much manual digitization labor to be feasible, though.
I think the issue is that people don't work to have money. They work so they can:

1. Have real practical advantage over other people in their community
2. Have real practical power to shape their community

For #1 that's mostly the middle class, who want better schools for their children, and safe pleasant environments for their families. Actions that remove that incentive, make the middle class irrelevant. Very few people are willing to work 9+ hour days during the start of their career, just so they can have more toys, and not a larger house in a good neighborhood later in life.

For #2 that's mostly the elite. If they're denied influence via money, they'll simply go into politics or religion where we'll end up with a society shaped by lucky charismatic people, and not necessarily anyone who has any skill. At least we can say non-hereditary wealthy people are lucky, and skilled as opposed to just being lucky.

I'm sure it's also easier to hire/lay-off people when they're just remote "zoom employees". Virtual employees seem way more disposable. My team hired college-grad engineers since march and managers still don't actually know their names.

Escape Velocity + ResEdit was how I got into programming at 8 years old.

Back then I didn't have internet access and had hours upon hours of time to explore my family mac without distraction. I came across ResEdit and teduously learned how to change stuff in the game. First thing I learned is to always back up your software. I would make mods for my brother to play. Javelin Spray was my favourite.

My brother and I would also daisy chain AFB keyboards and he would control the ship and I would control the escorts.

Even this is not entirely correct. They do not consider you a CA resident, but they consider the income you make while (more than transiently) in the state taxable.

Many states have similar clauses (NY, NJ, etc.), CA is not unique in this aspect.
> You have a right to say whatever you want to whomever you want without fear of government retaliation, as long as it isn't "hate speech" in a fairly narrow legal sense. This is what "having free speech in society" has always meant

Wrong twice.

First of all, the United States doesn't have laws against hate speech. The US Supreme Court has said hate speech is protected by the first amendment. So, you're protected from government retaliation, even if it's hate speech.

Second of all, that's NOT what "having free speech in society" means. It's what the first amendment means. In American culture, writing op eds to a privately owned newspaper is a classic example of free speech, going all the way to revolutionary times (and actually predating the constitution). In the past (before the internet), prominent newspapers would brag that they would publish editorials from any significant public figure, even if they detested that public figure, because free speech was a good thing. That's why the NYTimes has published so many editorials from dictators.

That depends on the nature of the business and how well it could transition its employees to WFH. Again, that's the environment I work in, and until recently my experience was mostly just "friend of a fried of a friend".

I'm not downplaying this, I'm not saying it's not a real thing, or that my experience is universal or any other implication that this isn't a real and pressing crisis. I'm simply saying that for a variety of reasons, it's entirely possible to not be in the middle of nowhere and still not have COVID invade your usual social sphere, though such experiences will quickly become extremely rare at the current rate of infection.
Speaking of faraday cages - one of the NYC firms got a sweet deal on office space. Turns out it was close enough to the metro/rail system that it would cause a magnetic disruption to the monitors. The "cheaper" fix was putting in flat screen monitors that were crazy expensive back in those days. Apparently the hardware cost wiped out any rental savings they thought they were going to have.
Please, by all means, wait.

I read your whole comment and I’m not calling for completely free speech like yelling “fire” in a theater.

I just find it odd that you brought up government like it’s relevant to free speech and censorship by corporations. I’m genuinely curious as to maybe you think corporations censoring speech is appropriate. And I like this forum to be able to ask.

In my mind, I don’t want the phone company bleeping me out when I curse. Or disconnecting my service because they think I might be buying drugs. Phone companies are regulated by government to legally require these kinds of free speech requirements. But that doesn’t mean I can crank call people, or spam people, there’s still rules.

I think my problem with these companies is that they are arbitrary in their restrictions. And they seem biased politically.

Perhaps they aren’t biased. But similarly, while being required to show ID to vote may seem reasonable, in practice it discriminated against certain political parties.
Why is it insane to criticize the decisions of a corporation? Activists of all stripes regularly criticize corporate behavior that is completely legal and within their rights as a private company. Is there some substantial difference between arguing a corporation should go out of its way to accommodate the spirit of environmental conservation, and going out of its way to accommodate the spirit of open discussion? You shouldn't presume such criticism is lobbying for a change to the law (the original article does not).

I do think there was fraud, I'm sure there is even some amount of fraud every election. The real question should be, was the fraud widespread and did it make a difference? I don't know but the fact that people can't even debate this is concerning to me.

What does it mean to be a “comparable” alternative to YouTube?

There are dozens of online video platforms[0], plus other places like Patreon and OnlyFans, and decentralised systems like PeerTube. If none of them work for you, you can get a VPS and start hosting videos on your own web site.

The difference between YouTube censorship and ISP censorship is the amount of capital you need to circumvent it. If ISPs start filtering traffic, you need tens-to-hundreds of millions of dollars to build hardware infrastructure to run a competing ISP. If YouTube starts filtering videos, you need $5 to rent a server to host those videos instead.

Boy, technologists. We used to see a gap in the market and fill it with superior products. Now we see a gap in the market and complain that the market leader isn’t owning that space any more.

I very strongly disagree. Even in a physical workplace, quick text messaging has a place. Saying that the video services are more valuable than chat is comparing apples to oranges. And I don't know of a mainstream video conferencing service with text messaging as good as Slack. (Maybe Teams? I was strongly encouraged to used it over the previous option that worked fine, and have intentionally avoided it since out of protest.)

If you look at the actual construction of a Supercharger station [0], the charger stall units don’t have any power electronics. There is a pair of big DC wires from each stall unit running to the big AC-DC units that are usually behind a fence.

I believe Alan Kay is saying that while people know Guitar Hero isn't real guitar, they don't know that using an iPhone isn't "what computing is about". Here's the full quote from him:

If people could understand what computing was about, the iPhone would not be a bad thing. But because people don’t understand what computing is about, they think they have it in the iPhone, and that illusion is as bad as the illusion that Guitar Hero is the same as a real guitar. That’s the simple long and the short of it.

What’s interesting is, the computational ability of an iPhone is far beyond what we need to do good computing. What you wind up with is something that has enough stuff on it and is connected to enough stuff, so it seems like the entire thing.

>Rigged election are not fine, but if they do happen no harm done.

What evidence do you have that "rigging" occurred? No actionable evidence was presented in any of the 50 or so cases already filed (and uniformly rejected by the courts) in AZ, GA, MI, NV, PA and WI.

Are you claiming that not only thousands of election workers, party officials, elected and appointed government officials, but also a couple dozen state and Federal judges, including the US Supreme Court (cf. Kelly v. Pennsylvania), Democrats and Republicans conspired (and succeeded) to steal the election from Donald Trump?

That assertion would be laughable if it weren't so corrosive to our election systems and our federal constitutional form of government.

But don't take my word for it. Or anyone else's for that matter. Read the case records, including complaints, briefs, arguments from both sides and the judicial opinions.
