Good faith and bad faith environment is about trust. When that trust break down you either find methods to regain trust or discourse becomes impossible.

So what strategies works most effective in restoring trust? We can learn by looking at the effective ways people have done in the past to create the opposite, increase distrust and conflict. Assuming bad faith based on race and class is very effective in creating environments of distrust, both on internet forums and elsewhere. Preemptively exercise power in unpredictable way, and enforce unclear rules in an inconsistent and nontransparent way also works wonder to further conflicts. Displaying symbols of ideological values and focus on tribal differences can effectively increase conflict over multiple generations.

You can not censor people into trust, and thus censorship is not a tool to create a good faith environment. You can remove people from the discourse until only people who belong to the same tribe is left, where every single participant trust the others because of psudo-kinship. Free speech, along with concepts like human rights and liberty, is however centered around common rules being enforced consistently in order to create trust among people who would otherwise be mistrusting of each other. You let the other side talk in order to create a common trust that they will let you talk.

Same thing happened with many of the first car manufacturers, electricity providers (Edison getting localities to ban alternating current), etc.

In many areas the Airbnbs were not illegal, and sometimes "regulatory capture" should be fought as unjust.

Of course, in other areas, you're totally right that sometimes the local regulations should win, the company fined, etc. All depends on what the local community wants, imo.

I think I'll treat this as the latest in a several line of warnings about not going all-in on all these Cloud services until you seriously know what you're doing.

So much of it is so unnecessary to begin with. You can do so much with a cheap VCS or two without thinking about lambdas or cloud functions or kubernetes or who knows what. But these days you'd be forgiven for thinking it's dark magic.

You're not going to run up a 5 digit bill in a day by starting up on a few $10 VPSs. And you'll probably have an architecture that fits in your head to boot.

No, I'm not contradicting myself, I'm saying the level of authority should be appropriate to the issue at hand. Child abuse apparently widespread enough to go beyond Pornhub's already existing moderation implies some responsibility for the payment processors, and also at the end of the day responsibility of the law enforcement. What I'm saying is there is no division of labour in the sense of outsourcing everything to law enforcement, or everything to Pornhub.
Because it was there.

Yes. In general, I would choose Scala. Better tooling, (pretty good) type system; not without its warts. Main concern I'd see ahead is the 2 -> 3 transition, which has the potential to be as difficult as the Python 2 -> 3 transition. That said, Scala 3 looks nicer to me as a language, with top-level functions, significant whitespace (more concise code), and better ADTs.
It was a lot of work, but we had enough staff to make it someones job for half a year or a quarter, depending on how bad the migration is. With big codebases there are other issues that pop up with every new major Xcode release that we have to migrate, mitigate or fix. For example we are still at xcode 11 because of various bugs in xcode 12. Doing the migration was annoying, but it was not much compared to all the other issues, because the fixes were tractable.
It works when it works, it doesn’t when it doesn’t.

Meaning that the company has very little insight or control into the quality of any of their listings. So it’s always a dice roll. If the listing ends up looking nothing like the pictures, or is dirty, or you’re locked out you’re on your own, and the best you can hope for is not getting the run around from customer service and they refund you fully and/or put you somewhere else.

What about the bill for the sites this request cannon was pointed at?
The only coverage I can find for this is from 2018, but even their brand new top of the line mirrorless cameras from 2020 (Sony A7S3 for example) still require a kernel extension. Suffice it to say I'll be using a Windows VM to update my camera for now.
Or just test on a good old VM, which can be had for just a few cents per hour and doesn't even allow for storage or network traffic going out of hand.

The first mistake is to deploy tests on completely opaque hyper-scalers. Pretty much any software infrastructure - from (SQL/No-SQL/In-Memory/etc.-) databases to entire web-frameworks can be found as ready-to-go VM images and containers these days.

Sure, it's a bit more work to find and setup, but in the end you gain an understanding what system is actually doing, how it might behave and the ability to deploy into any environment - from local workstations to bare metal to (a fleet of) VMs to high-level hyper-scaler services.
Sure, but Pornhub is the largest and probably the most technically superior. And it's likely after this, it'll be easier to bring the smaller sites down as well.

Accuweather will give you a 3 month forecast! I had to blink a few times to make sure I got that right. Their existing long term forecast goes to March 10, 2021.

Pornhub actually charges a subscription fee, pays actors/actresses, and owns a half dozen production companies.

Sure they got to this position by allowing the free upload of copyrighted content, but they don't do it now because they're now part of the establishment that others try to disrupt.
That is a trade off with some pretty deep implications and some subtleties. I doubt it's such an obvious choice.
> Even more importantly, they need to allow installation of apps via links without requiring an App Store altogether.

I really don't know about this, or rather I understand why Apple might argue that it's protecting users in addition to its services revenue. As far as I can tell from my mum's Android phone, Facebook has a lucrative business of advertising absolute garbage borderline-malware apps through their Android apps to people who don't know any better. It might be that Apple don't expose the APIs you need to make an iOS device a terrible experience for a user who installs your app at all. But if there are any holes in that walled garden once you drop the app store and review, a lot of iPhones will be a lot worse because Facebook will push horrible stuff at their less savvy users.
Some financial service providers (i.e. those who do NOT buy low sell high) might try to move into the custodial market. Assessing the risk there is beyond my pay grade I don't know how smart that'd be ... but we can observe it's not common. If that did happen clients could use that provider's IT system to do trading and voila since all data is at one provider, some kinds of reconciliation is easier. In short, market consolidation.

There's tactical steps too that can partially overcome the independent IT systems, say, getting the custodian to send data realtime, sending it realtime on the trader's behalf to the recon entity ... I'm not sure what custodial service provides think about that ... presumably they would if they could probably hampered by their own IT systems like the rest of us.

The final approach is what appears immediately above: traders and custodians --- generally any set of business entities N who need to compose data --- publish to a virtual shared DB. I'm gonna read the white papers and follow-up afterwards.

"I like that my mom can install apps and not worry about them spying on her."

Until very recently (ios 13/14) apps did exactly this. There are arguments for the walled garden in terms of ensuring applications are built, signed, and distributed safely but developers (e.g. Facebook, etc) absolutely abused the system APIs to spy on users and collect data they had no right to.

Even with the newer protections, apps randomly want to access my contacts or local network or location. The average user (like my mom and dad) are most likely just gonna click through those.

I'm not arguing for ios/android here but we should be factual. I will say I like the walled garden for other reasons, such as a consistent payment gateway, etc.
I prefer functional programming, and have a background in functional programming, but I still primarily work with Java, and it is currently my go-to for any project. In my opinion, Java as a language is gross and unlovable, but the runtime, the development tooling, and selection of libraries and other integrations is about as good as it gets.

I feel like I am continuously looking for a better alternative, but it's hard to overcome the practicality of using something with such immense buy-in. For example, nearly all major SaaS offer a Java SDK, or have Java-specific docs. They want the big companies to be their customers, and they know they use Java. I am all too happy to benefit from that.

It should also be noted that Java the language is rapidly being enhanced with features inspired by functional programming. For example, sum types (in the form of sealed classes) have been added to the language, and ML-style pattern matching with compile-time exhaustiveness checking is in the pipeline. More on the platform side, Java now has a REPL (JShell).

Of course, Java codebases you encounter in the wild are very likely to make you want to cry. The world of Java development has a lot of bad taste and questionable practices enshrined as best practices. That said, the Java community is slowly shifting toward a better style.

amazing! my technique works, as per usual. :) thanks for proving my point.
This is quite an American centric response!

> IMO the worst thing is government surveillance, and our lack of true democracy.

Agreed on the lack of democracy, although it is really nothing new. Gerrymandering has been an issue for decades now. Corporate lobbyists have been openly bribing bureaucrats for quite a while too. The 1980s are, on this regard, not that different from the present.

This is also compatible with a cyberpunk-esque world, though.

> Just look at the opening sequence of Blade Runner (staged in 2019?), and tell me we really live in that world.

Apart from the flying cars, I can think of several metropolis that look almost the same, including the pollution levels.

I was in Beijing five years ago, around September. Out of four days, I think I saw the blue sky only once, the day of my arrival, and it was because the authorities banned the circulation of 2.5 million cars for two weeks in August. I believe it was something related to a national holiday, but I'm not quite sure.

LA is not that far from it either.

> It's definitely not the case that economic inequality is "just accepted". Yes, it's a part of our lives, but the social justice moment is also huge, and sometimes misguided.

No comments on the "misguided" bit.

To be blunt, economic inequality is accepted, especially in the US. The ideas of the Protestant work ethic and the Prosperity theology, so deeply rooted in the American psyche, revolve around it. There is no movement that would change that in a generation or two, because too much is at stake.

Gay marriage took centuries to be legalized, and it wasn't until 2003 that SCOTUS ruled sodomy laws unconstitutional. Women's suffrage in the US was legalized in the 1920s, over a century after the country was founded, and still women struggle to enjoy full autonomous rights until quite recently. Many people of color couldn't vote until the mid 1960s! Or have the same access to essential services as other citizens.

My point is, these movements need to exert a constant pressure on society, for decades if needed, to achieve results. And, on the other hand, it may only take a few months or years to undo everything. I'm pointing here to the 1970s and 1980s, when many individual protections were repealed, and corporations of all kinds took advantage of that.

In summary, I respect your optimism, but a cyberpunk world also has electric cars and demonstrations on the streets.
You state those preferences as if there's no possible way they could be provided while allowing competition.

You have been presented a single option, and find that you like some aspects of the outcome. What's being hidden from you are other options where the same or similar outcomes can happen which might have even more benefits you would like.

Right now you seem to have what you consider a benevolent dictator. What happens when the dictates are not as benevolent?

You desires matter less to Apple than they do to organizations that actually have to worry about users users leaving more. That's because there's so much you give up if you leave. How long until this is abused? Also, what of those that are already abused because of Apple's power? Where Apple makes arbitrary decisions dictated not by the rules they've put forth but by internal business decisions and the desire to prop up their own offerings?

What about a world where Apple was a clearinghouse for what was allowed on the phone, but followed a very clear set of rules that dictated what was allowed and not, and took a well defined fee to review apps, and allowed App stored to be registered and submit apps for review and apply their own additional rules on top? Wouldn't you get most the benefits you like out of that? Wouldn't that provide both competition and provide a similar level of security?

Thank you for the correction. The logic applies the same, but I did invert the effects.

eBPF is a way to run micro programs in the kernel without really having to create kernel modules. That’s what I understand anyway. It’s powering things like Cilium — the networking startup doing cool networking things for kubernetes. I’m sure there’s more to it I just am not all that versed in it just that I know it’s being touted as a great boon.

Io_uring is async file io done right. There have been benchmarks that show huge gains with it.
We could of made it work. I think the one big benefit of the rewrite was how the architecture and nullable types basically gave us one more 9 of crash free rate, which we saw after the release with swift. With ObjC I could forsee how it would of crashed a bit more, because nullables aren't hard enforced in ObjC, but I could also see how we could of stepped around that by strong guarantees in the model & network service generation code.
I personally had a former partner put images of me on the Internet. (I got drunk, got the content taken down, and got a restraining order within 24 hours) I know people first hand who have been victims of similar situations but far worse.

> I am genuinely curious how you were able to work 8 hours a day on it and also work your regular job.

Fulltime jobs usually aren't fulltime in that they take all of your available thinking capacity, nor do they quench a person's curiosity or interest. More often, fulltime jobs (especially in tech) are ~40% work, 60% absolute garbage timewasting. Sitting through meetings that don't need to happen, to satisfy an insecurity or requirement that someone above has, without actually solving any real problems or creating any change.

Some people do exactly as much is required at their actual job (so a generous 40% of their available capacity) and then spend their nights, weekends and freetime pouring themselves into other things. Startups, personal projects, hobbies, families, etc.

Fulltime jobs are almost never rewarding or exciting. A startup may start exciting/fulfilling, but eventually corporate garbage sets in and you're on the same treadmill of meetings to talk about prospective work/how much work there is, fitting actual fulfillment of tasks in between.
What is the price per lozenge?
You go through PSC as if you are the needed level.

So you're calibrated as if you are a 5. But if you're still a 4 because you're not delivering as a 5... then you'll fail to meet expectations, naturally. The rest sort of takes care of itself.

Pro tip: ask them for the severance instead of the PIP, and GTFO.
Was seeing if saurik commented in this thread yet, only to see that he posted it!
I totally agree. We as techies /developers see problems from our perspective (too high of a cut, arbitrarily limiting what apps can be distributed, no third-party payment processing etc). And those are legit concerns.

But in a typical “customer harm” perspective I think it’s very hard to make a case.

Apps aren’t really that more expensive on iOS nor is the catalog smaller.

However much we want a freer iOS experience, competing App Stores will just make iOS like modern gaming with a crappy custom App Store for each vendor. It would be more reasonable to have easier side loading for enthusiast or stuff Apple doesn’t want in its store.
it’s all financially settled. there’s no actual physical delivery of water with these contracts.
I was also at first confused, and I find the problem as published in 1894 (i.e. almost 130 years ago) much clearer:

"A circle containing one acre is cut by another whose
centre is on the circumference of the given circle, and
the area common to both is one-half acre. Find that
radius of the cutting circle."

I think that formulation had to be at least mentioned near the beginning of the text, when not used in the first sentence.
What 50% ?
> but both political parties in the US agree it’s time is over.

There are factions within both parties that agree that Section 230 should be repealed or replaced with something significantly different, but there are factions in both parties that disagree and, perhaps more importantly, there is a lack of consensus on whether it should be simply repealed or modified/replaced, and if the latter on what the replacement/modification should be, and many of the people that agree that there is a problem view the status quo as better than other faction’s preferred end-state.

So, while I think there will be a lot of noise about 230 over the next few years, I’m a lot less confident than you seem to be that there will be any successful action to repeal or massively modify it.
Yes, exactly. And determining leading indicators of what will make money is hard. I think smart people will put non-zero positive coefficients on the earnestness that YC is talking about here.
No, but since they have no cost trial and developer options, its basically easier then managing who gets access to what, as anyone who gets those no cost versions are entitled to the source for those packages.
