What is the harm model here? After the 2016 election, more than half of Democrats disagreed that the elections “were free and fair.” https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politics-government/e...

> Of registered voters surveyed, 53% said the 2016 election between Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton was free and fair and 33% said it was not.... 39% of Democratic or Democratic-leaning voters said it was. Half of Democratic or Democratic-leaning voters said it wasn’t free and fair.

I’m not trying to create an equivalence between what Clinton said and what Trump is saying. I’m talking about the beliefs of the voting public, which are clear in the polls. Half of the people who lost in 2016 thought the election wasn’t fair, but democracy didn’t end. What’s the danger here that justifies censorship?
ipv6 is heavily used in the mobile network space.
No doctor is ever going to prescribe steroids that do not end in a tapering dose (necessary for initial durations longer than 5 days).

Yes! You can change the primary color of the product in Figma with one click. And I created the landing page in 2 hours, so, I decided to go with the basics. :)
Yes and no.

buy all of AWS's? Then: no, it would cost less.

buy from open market? Then: yes, It would cost more
The original list of assigned blocks [1] is a fascinating glimpse of history. Some of the Class A networks are still recognizable (MIT, University College London, Stanford) while others have faded in prominence (BBN, CISL, DEC, MITRE, Tymnet). The same 1981 document also contains a list of assigned ports which of course does not include DNS, HTTP(S), IMAP, POP, or SSH.

On a wall, trying to create a flow. Preferably with the client, giving them the chance to contribute to the design and planning process. After this, comes the wireframing process.
I'm becoming more convinced that the whole "but everyone's living longer!" thing is nothing more than another gaslight attempt to ensure we continue to love our betters.
> give our isolated elderly generation a much-needed opportunity to see family and friends

There's concern that elderly people's weaker immune systems won't react as strongly to the vaccine, so it won't be as effective.

How can you be sure that that } is the end of a certain defined block? This most importantly affects the scoping and in many cases it's ambiguous. IDEs do have rich metadata besides from the source code but then parsers should be aware of them.
No, not white meth addicts. But middle class or wealthy white people, abso-fucking-lutely.
Java still seems to be the main sticking point - Bedrock (C++) seems to have much higher performance these days.

(Although, intriguingly, Apple Silicon runs Minecraft under Rosetta 2 much more efficiently than the i9 I was using a month ago - no fan noise, no burnt legs, lasts hours on battery, stable 60fps - despite using higher settings and without quitting everything else first. Roll on an Apple Silicon JVM.)
Other kind of media having issues does not disprove the comment you're responding to. You're also assuming some opinions at the beginning which we haven't seen in the parent's comment. Things don't have to be black or white - it doesn't have to be democratisation vs establishment. There's way more nuance here. Including platform protecting its existence in case they fail so badly at filtering content that they get regulated by... establishment.
Doesn't quite work. It's also used in water boilers and most of them corrode after 10 years with the anode in good shape.
Redstone circuits in Minecraft are honestly one of the most fun things I've played in a long, long time. When I first played the game as a HS-er I didn't really understand enough about boolean logic or computation to understand it.

During shelter-in-place I took another look at it and was totally sucked in. I absolutely love the cool thing the community has come up with. I really like the creative challenge of coming up with new designs for machines that automate away the problems that you have in the game.

Honestly, it's a real shame the devs don't encourage more automation directly. The real reason I stopped playing in the first place is that it quickly just turned into tedious _work_ to collect resources.

Another thought I had was that the spatial nature of the thinking that you are doing when you are constructing redstone circuits works really well for my brain. I wish I could leverage that side of my brain when doing programming work. I'm able to keep a lot more in my working memory when I can reference a component by it's location relative to everything else. It's hard to describe, but I really quite liked it.
Stupid question: why does WhatsApp need to be its own AS?
I feel like the Green River Killer is quite well know...

But even if he's not as well known as Zodiac, again, look at the victim profile: runaways and sex workers. It's not just about skin color, although for some reason both of you zeroed in on that. I specified "marginalized groups" such as [mostly black] runaways. It's about being poor, unknown, and not white.
I’m not arguing for that, but it might actually be an indirect solution. By forcing everyone to deal with it, skepticism will grow and new solutions toward treating information and the media will arise.

As an example, I think a similar situation will happen with deepfakes. Once it becomes widely known that it’s easy to fake video, people will become more skeptical of it.

Thank you for the motivation!

I don't like these kinds of products sold with a monthly fee, as a designer. That's because I don't think a monthly fee.

What I'm thinking is to create another set, with mobile flows in mind, as an upsell to this product.

Maybe after that, a wireframe kit, as well. Let's see :)
>All I can think to myself is whether what I’m doing is really worth it compared to spending time with the baby.

Ever think that your baby may be thinking to themselves "Man, am I ever going to get a break from this guy?" also?

Literally nobody is suggesting this.

Why was a scam company able to raise $76M Series B? (2012)
Just out of curiosity how does one go about purchasing and maintaining ownership of IPv4’s. Do you need to do it through your own company or is it possible as an individual. I’ve heard you have to demonstrate you can use them but that was in relation to IPv6’s.
How do you own an IPv4 in perpetuity? Can they be bought in small scale, say 1-10?
Is this you?

It's great that you feel empowered and have been successful in this country. Lots of minorities haven't been, and for reasons outside of their control, based in historical inequalities.[0]

So do these minorities you reference have yours and other elites permission to post on Youtube? Or will they also get censored?

This. Trump will be gone. The trashing of our liberal values in the name of “moral clarity in the age of Trump” will remain.
Ceramics used in water boilers crack. You don't want that in a nuclear reactor.
Maybe its just me but I never liked the games who adjusted difficulty ie as I leveled. That's lazy design. Completely demotivated me to try to do sidequests / other ways to improve myself before moving to more difficult quests/areas. I mean what would be the point? Just facing more difficult enemies.

Compare it to the game who gets the difficulty balance just right with static setup, and every gain makes a bit of difference and game is never frustratingly hard nor too easy. Areas of initial struggle become walk in the park. To me that's rewarding.

Maybe some middle road where enemies can get a bit harder, but still they become more defeatable as player progresses would be ideal. Or even better - make it tweakable in the menu (but that's a mammoth effort to do and test)
Censorship by definition includes not only banning and deletion, but “suppression,” which fits denying monetization to particular content on a site otherwise designed for it.

For example, it wouldn’t get around the first amendment for the government to say “we’re not banning this book, you just can’t charge money for it.” (I understand that Google as a private actor is permitted to engage in censorship while the government is not. My point is that demonetization is clearly censorship because of the government did it it would be illegal.)
I used to own 10k IP addresses that I sold as proxy servers to internet marketers. I made about $20k a month and it paid my bills through college. I had no idea what I was doing and eventually shut down the company, but damn, I wish I at least kept control of those things.

If you want to see some sketchy shit, look deeply into what the VPN companies are doing.
I've been on steroids multiple times, for sometimes months at a time. No doctor ever put me on a tapering dose.

So whatever they are supposed to do, that's not what I personally experienced.

> Then when you gut the HTML for UI overhaul, if the functionality hasn’t changed,

How often website redesigns are only about html? Usually everything changes. New flows, new dialogs, new toolbars, new frameworks.

Often the web UI gets and Android UI and iOS UI siblings. Gets replaced altogether by a completely different UI, developed by a different team.

APIs change much less often, and can be shared between many UIs. You can also version them. How are you going to version a web UI? Like reddit with "turn back on classic look"? How long can you keep the old UI around just because you have 1000s tests around that use it.

> but the idea that the tests are inherently brittle is wrong

I don't think so. Tests are great calcifyiers (check my blogpost about it if you want). If you test though your UI, you're calcifying your UI. The more you test though it, the more you calcifying it. No way around it.

>The idea that banning certain information will somehow result in it disappearing has been shown repeatedly to not work

Maybe it didn't work in the old days.

But now maybe the CEO of Cloudflare will wake up one morning, decide he doesn't like your politics and block your DNS.

Now you might wake up one morning and find that Mailchimp have terminated your account because they don't like your politics (Molyneux).

Now your social media twitter clone might be banned by the Apple/Google store because they don't like what people are posting on it (Gab). As if you're a publisher... which you're not under section 230...

Now your GoFundme gets pulled if whatever leftist running GoFundme decides they don't like you.

Now the payment companies won't process your payments (too many examples to name).

Now, despite being the fourth largest newspaper in the country, your twitter account will be disabled indefinitely for posting "hacked" "russian disinformation" that turns out to be neither hacked nor disinformation. And we find out after the election that the Attorney General of Delaware has been investigating this matter for over a year.

Now some dipshit moderator on Hacker News will shadowban you permanently on a whim.

Your google docs will be blocked for violating the terms of service.

Youtube will demonetize you.

There is nowhere to hide from the dystopia that every fucking retarded left-winger here is so eager to embrace.
It's like being in the middle of the red scare, but everyone says they're ok with telephone companies listening to the bad people's conversations and disconnecting their phone lines if they mention communism. Because, you know, they're "private companies" or something. The only cold comfort is that it will surely be used against them one day.

Who is framing the argument that way? No one is saying it's against our rights.

That doesn't mean we can't oppose it. People are allowed to oppose a company's actions, even if they're not illegal
I know this kit. And there is another one, which gave me the inspiration to create Flow Cards: https://www.uxflowcharts.com/

If I was living in US, I would definitely roll out a set of physical cards. Because in my research, I couldn't find a comprehensive set. That's because I created this one. Flow Cards consist of 147 different cards, with 16 card-back designs to organize those.
The demand gets higher, therefore a healthy market will move towards a supply/demand equilibrium.

There are creative ways to go around most problems, given the incentives are strong enough. i.e. we all live underground /s

On the other side, too much regulation can prove to be a strong disincentive. In this case I expect architecture or density requirements, amongst other things, in cities like Amsterdam to cool down the market, maybe a bit too much.
> They severely undervalue the risks of the various diseases, and severely overvalue the risks of the vaccines, and land in the wrong conclusion that every single vaccine therefore is bad for you.

What's the data look like for long-term effects of an mRNA vaccine?
For anyone not as familiar with AWS, basically:

* They'll provide a free dynamic IPv4 address attached to any interface/VM for the life of that VM.

* They'll provide static IPv4 addresses. These are generally free, but you'll be charged if they're not attached to a VM (i.e., sitting unused). Only one IP per instance is free.

Charge is a half cent an hour, so works out to about $3.65/mo to camp on an IP address.
I’m trying to envisage what different lava lamp failures might look like, and I’ve gotta say, there are some entertaining possibilities in that idea.
Google/Facebook/Twitter have become monopolistic de-facto utilities. The you'll have to build your own megaphone argument is no longer valid. Especially when they're attempting to impact election results while cashing in on governmental protections that minimize their risk.
I understand you wish to flatter WalterBright, but please note that your comment is fairly toxic and not well suited to Hacker News. Please stay on topic and feel free to contribute to the points being made. This kind of hero worship often just degrades discussion and is better left to other forms of social media.
I'm glad that you found it useful, thanks.
Right now, at this very moment, Facebook and Twitter prevent you from sending certain links via private message.
There were some fantastic mods back in the day that focussed more on the automation side. Can't remember what they are called now (Tekkit maybe?). Gave Minecraft a very Factorio feel. Huge mining drills, assembly lines, conveyor belts, drones, robots, computers. Immense fun.
I think you're also not supposed to take it while breastfeeding. So it could be 9 months plus a year or more.
>Weaponized misinformation has existed as long as human speech has existed. What is new is the democratization of it, hence the establishment’s hostility.

Beautifully put.

Better get ahead of it lest the proles gain class consciousness and use it against us.
I would expect it would cost more from AWS. They're not just holding them unused like a lot of organizations, they're necessary for them to continue making their $35b+ per year from AWS.
The question is: Is the machine learning, or is the machine intelligent.

The answer is its neither. But we've taken them to be useful analogies and loosely designated them to mean different things. Neither one really applies because in truth, the machine isn't learning. Because we've deemed some types of organs optimizers, others dynamic programing and others learning. It's all arbitrary.
Taofledermaus talk about their "mass accelerator" and "launch director" for the same reasons.
At this point, it’s the same as RF spectrum. Yet clearly there is no regulatory body to manage it.
Do users on cgnat typically have cgnat ipv6 or not?
That sounds pretty incredible too.

Speaking of flu vaccines reminds me of this Pfizer press release from November 2018 [1] that described “a collaboration with German biotech BioNTech to develop new RNA vaccine technology to create a better flu shot”. The press release concluded with optimism but cautioned that “the technology is several years away from being tested in the US”.

Demonetization is not censorship, imho. They support YouTube through their advertisers, and their advertisers don't want to be affiliated with guns. It makes sense that they won't pay you for videos that they can't monetize -- they're just passing on the loss to the video producer.

Beyond demonetization, YouTube did categorically ban videos demonstrating how to install and/or fabricate an autosear. In practice, this also extends to purely educational videos explaining how an autosear works.
How does this differ from you "learning" words of a foreign language?
> If I were a foreign actor with malign intent towards the US, I would be very pleased with how things are playing out.

Then you wouldn't have thought enough about it. Look at what happened when the USSR collapsed: the world became less stable and nuclear tech and scientists found their ways in unsavory countries.

There were some civil wars or frozen conflicts that are still a pain today (Transnitria, breakaway republics in Georgia, the whole Ukraine thing, and more recently Azerbaijan vs Armenia).

When the enemy has nukes you want him to be a known quantity, stable and predictable.

Pretty sure youd have better luck purchasing a perpetual license to one from a top tier owner.
That's not exclusive to poorer countries. Cellular carriers in first world countries aren't assigning a public IPv4 address to every cell phone.

You may want to review your pricing model it does not make a lot of sense. Here is why: Pricing by business process with the jumps you have in your pricing probably will not work.

Have you validated your assumptions on how business operate and how many process are involved even in small businesses?

You go up from 1 to 25 users in your first small tier of 300/Mo but you only increase your processes from 5 to 10. You don't define a processes on your pricing page and your FAQ is unclear. You don't define the real value to someone using it for a real job would have in advocating why this is important to the COMPANY. Do your offer an SLA that is safe enough for any real business to trust your service? What happens if you go down for a few hours? What happens if you sell it?

-edit removed typo
nah. when you have a ceo who wants to price match other ceos in the industry when they dont have money to pay the developers, that has to be decided.

my question. why does firefox need any sort of corporate overlordship? is having a skeleton crew to handle payroll, organise some events not enough ? bureaucracy kills stuff and here you see its best example

Creating a Chrome Extension with React and TypeScript
Pretty incredible and pretty surreal. I honestly wasn't sure how the utterly incompetent federal response of the US would ever dig itself out of this and I guess the answer is here.
I think the idea is making things harder to access.

The failed idea behind making drugs illegal is that they'd be harder to access and less people would do them. There's evidence this didn't work.

I think the idea here is the same - if the big platforms ban certain types of egregious and harmful misinformation (that gets recommended to people susceptible to conspiracies) - these companies are hoping less people overall will watch this content, and probably more importantly, if anything bad comes of this, they won't have their brands tarnished because of it.

Will it work? Who knows. They're companies. Why can't they do what they please as long as it's within the law? Does the law require YouTube to keep up all content? YouTube has a Terms of Service and has censored lots of content for a long time. Why is there such a big distinction between beheadings, child porn, anti-vax, hate speech, and election misinformation? These companies already have a history of censoring "political" content for foreign countries.

What is new here?

HN votes more on delivery style than substance. A short post in plain language espousing human rights will generally do worse than a long, academically styled post restating Nazi ideals.
Sounds like a task out of 'Surviving Mars' (and the kind of tech I expect to see up there for real in a decade or so, if a crewed expedition is ever to actually take place).
There is one positive side, that this will further erode the trust to social media, with youtube becoming official part of conspiracies. People will adapt, they ll find new venues
This is really cool, thanks for sharing. Very elegant.
I want ipv6 as much as anyone, but we are not spending enough time preparing for NATs death. It's responsible for far more security than we as a collective would like to admit and there's a lot more we could be doing now to get ready.
Sounds like we don't need youtube to protect us then.
> It's nice to believe this, but having a flu jab is only proven to protect yourself. It's not sterilising immunity so you can still become infected, shed virus, and infect others while asymptomatic.

Hi, is this what you’re looking for? https://www.mojeek.com/support/search-operators.html
The problem is some engineers are ideological, you don’t want to work with those. If you have this argument during an interview and the interviewing engineer is insisted that X is always the right choice, run away.

Anytime a commercial language gets bogged down in parsing, unless that is core to the product (and mostly it isn’t), also run away. Parsing represents like 1% of the work that needs to be done on a compiler, even if it’s an IDE parser that needs to be really incremental (the only worse thing is to get stuck on lexing).
How did you find a recruiter?
Set a weekly time to review your metrics. Do it every time on time and take actions based on the analysis. If you take no action, monitoring metrics is pointless. A decision tree is a great way to make positive progress without the obsession.
> What if, there was in fact an organization comprised of people smarter than you and obviously better than you at figuring out what is true or not - and I would go further - one that can tell you how to make better/more optimal decisions than you would have made without them?

No, because our interests would probably not converge on many things.

The kind of orgs you describe already exist, but they're not benevolent, they don't act for the good of humanity.
