But you can't just say that bias exploitation should never be banned simply because there's a large variation in how it's done. Obviously some of these things are unacceptable and others are subtle enough to be acceptable.

It'd be like saying that all car driving should be banned because high speed driving is extremely risky. Of course that makes no sense, because there's a huge difference between driving 100mph in a neighborhood and just doing 25mph, and it's also the reason we have speed limits, which draw a line in the sand, past which we say "this is unacceptable."
Hah! What an ironic mistake. Glad the message still got across
When we have new communication technology, it can rapidly change societies and cause conflicts. Think Nazi radio propaganda, or the role of the printing press c. 1500-1700, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_wars_of_religion#Defi...

Over time things should stabilize as we get social antibodies against new forms of persuasion, and a new balance of power between groups that organize differently because of new communication patterns.

For us on HN, Internet may be something that's existed for many decades, but social media and smartphones really changed things for the masses starting around 2008-2010 or so.

Reading history is the honest answer.

You read enough good books and articles about current events and history and then are able to make reasonable inferences.

Suppressing, or evening worse distorting historical knowledge is always a tool of authoritarians and oppressors.

Which is imho part of why so many folks here in the U.S. are so historically illiterate :/ :(.

Chaos Runner, or anything else that you run on your EC2 instances (or in your ECS containers) requires you to install some kind of agent or daemon. This is non-optimal as it is work in and of itself, it is also hard to correctly simulate things like the network, or various AWS services being down/unreachable.

If you run the agent/daemon on your production stack, then it's a potential vector for misconfiguration or attack. But if you don't run the agent/daemon in production, then it's another way in which your test stack diverges from production!

I saw various PR/FAQs related to Chaos engineering while I worked in both EC2 and the AWS developer tools org. I've been gone over a year now, but I would bet that FIS does something at the EC2 Network level so that you don't have to install stuff on your instances or containers.
The rise of remote work has been pushed forward hard by the pandemic which means that new companies with a modern and enlightened structure will have minimal need for facilities and offices. The servers are in the cloud and employees can sublet rooms to keep rent minimal.

The resource metric that really counts is talent. That probably means there will be more of NorCal, BosWash, Texas, and Rust Belt all getting involved and contributing whenever there is a truly significant effort.

As someone who admittedly isn't a die-hard fan of the original, I think something independent in a similar style, set in the same universe could work. But I suspect any corporate attempt at it would break it... can't take too many chances so need to make it bland, need to insert too many throwbacks, ...
It's always amusing when I see corporate engineers espouse some open source value and then follow it up with, "That's how it's supposed to be!" They totally ignore that if you entirely profit off of grafana and then destroy grafana labs in the process then they will be the maintainers of grafana and since that will go well beyond a "two pizza team" AWS will drop it.

tldr: corporate engineers have to be trained to respect and understand open source and it's just weird.

I am not wholly convinced.

There is a considerable problem in enterprise software where trivial features are enormously expensive. If you hide all of the useful authentication features behind thousands (or tens, or hundreds of thousands) them don’t be surprised when somebody scoops you.

Value add needs to be more like added value than ransom.
It may be trite, but it seems like strong social ties, community, and having a family are pretty key to filling that gap.

I suspect it’s a built in sense of purpose from millions of years of selective pressure.

Other things like novelty seeking, learning, getting better at crafts help - but looking at people that feel generally content, investing in a good partner and having kids seems like the surest way to fill that purpose.

Lots of ways that can go poorly (I think mostly people choosing their partner poorly or for stupid reasons), but if it goes well I think that’s probably a critical piece.
Discussion on ubiquitous wireless mobile networks
Ideally mobile network should have
- high-speed internet
- low network latency
- low cost
- good connectivity even with roaming
- unlimited data volume

How long will it take for a large portion of our planet to have such network?

What are the major roadblocks in achieving this?

What is the role of StarLink satellites by SpaceX in helping such a network?
Yes, that same hypocrisy applies to Mozilla. And it's been a total and unfortunate way to run a nonprofit - getting money from a direct competitor that wants to pay you as little as possible. The lower the browser market share, the worse their negotiating position got.

I wish they had come up with an alternate revenue stream.
Moreover, you're cutting your throat by introducing yet more regulation that only established players can afford to comply with.

There's this problem in the sciences and higher academe where we give things names that sound like something but mean another. For instance, Einstein's Special Theory of Relatively is a common example. Ask the average person on the street what it means and they'd say, "Well of course I know what it means, after all, it means that everything is relative."

Well obviously that's not what it means. What it means is that the speed of light is rather impossibly constant. Likewise, economics has this same issue. "Free Market" does not mean everyone has complete free will and has total immunity to persuasion. "Free Markets" defines a philosophy of trade where individuals can own and sell property. Whether or not people are 'easily affected by suggestion' as you put it, has got no impact on the concept of free markets.
This has been my experience as well. I am FB friends with some very right wing people (Coronavirus skeptic types) and left wing people (literal anarchists). My feed remains fairly innocuous and is mostly photos and comments from friends with the occasional discussion friend.

Occasionally I do have to mute someone that's getting too annoying or use the "stop showing me this" feature for certain re-shared content. These are actions I take every few months, so it's not a very regular maintenance.

Hey there! The "homescreen" is also natively embedded and provides todos, snippets, & notes that are accessible across folders & workspaces.

This can't be real. Why would Disney use/ruin the Firefly universe for this show idea when they already have the Star Wars universe?
I'm not sure this is the correct question. Every company has cost centers and profit centers.

Historically, for example, Playstations were sold at a loss and the games were sold at a profit and a licensing fee to offset that loss.

In the more modern world, Steam and Apple and Epic Games all charge a percentage-based commission for the games and in-app purchases their games have (at least some of them charge the latter). The cost of keeping the game in their catalog is very low compared to the price they charge. The markup is very high; but, it does offset development costs throughout the company. Those development costs may or may not help drive traffic or even use the services that the money-making services boulster, but the money-making services do help pay for it.

Actually no, it's the opposite. It's governments regulating companies, and thereby taking responsibility. Going a step further would make governments actively intervene in day-to-day-operations.

I think one problem of gql relates to caching.

Using rest, it's dead easy to enable caching on load balancer or CDN level with background updates.

But with graphql- it's not so trivial. Youll have to do workarounds by caching POST requests (which imo is bad practice) or use GET requests, which might not work because the URL gets too long.

Or use named queries, but then - what did you gain compared to rest?

Another problem is that you expose internals and may more easily make yourself vulnerable to overload attacks.

Plenty has been written about not using the server/container/pod id as a label because it leads to high cardinality which leads to poor performance (cost aside). Time series databases have been purpose-built for certain workloads and you can consider this their weakness.
Yep, that was the one.

It’s nearly the exact same conversation you see today. It’s a little wild to me that they thought housing prices were high then.

The previous sentence provides useful context. They're going for PG, not PG-13. PG-13 is already "Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13," which sex work probaby fits into. PG is even tamer. I don't see it as throwing shade at sex workers, just as saying the original firefly probably couldn't get a PG rating, in part due to Inara's job.

This was a nice project. Used the open source variation of Chrome OS: Chromium OS. They have a nice hardware compatibility list. In my brief experiments with them, it worked well. They gave away the OS and charged for support in large deployments. I hope they'll survive this acquisition.

I personally think they will. In a time when many schools are short of money, it makes sense to allow deployment of Chrome OS to existing hardware. Allows Google to expand Chrome OS's base while working within budgets that don't allow for mass purchases of new machines.

For those looking to try Chrome OS on their personal equipment, there's not only Neverware, but there's also the Brunch Project. The Brunch Project uses the official Chrome OS images and provides a way to install them. Neverware sometimes lacked certain features because of their use of Chromium OS, but the Brunch Project avoids that problem by using the official images.

I can attest that I am wittier and verbally "quicker" when in a relationship or have more friends. In those cases even when I happen to be alone, I notice things to comment on, and can always find something to say. It's like... how will I remember all these interesting things I've seen or have happened to me and will want to tell my friends or girlfriend.

When I'm single and without many friends around, I rather just slide past life. I don't latch onto interesting stuff as much. I have my thought processes and goals and since nobody asks how my day was, there's no point in remembering minor inconsequential stuff. But as you don't need to remember them, you don't even notice them. Like even a mundane task of taking a package to the post will be more of an emotional adventurous roller coaster when I have people in my life and rather a goal-directed straightforward thing when not.
The reasons why monopolies are bad isn't automatically due to the size of the market that a company controls.

Instead, the reason why they are bad, is due to things like barriers to entry, and the anti competitive practices that they enact.

For dating apps, I don't see how match group is putting up anything that could be described as a barrier to entry, for other dating apps.

Whereas Apple is absolutely doing things that effect competition in the market, by, for example, preventing competing app stores on the Iphone.

Therefore, Apple's actions are much worse than Match Groups, even though they have a smaller percentage of the market.
Ask HN: How to get Google to not autocorrect your name?
Right now if you search on google "flurly" it automatically autocorrects to "flurry".
This confuses many of the users I've been cold emailing and I'm not so sure what to do about it. It feels a bit like a chicken & egg problem where to get recognized you need people to click on your site when searching, but to get people to click on your site when searching, your site needs to show up at least for your own name.

I already did all of the SEO recommendations

- Go to web.dev and make sure site is performant, accessible and crawlwable

- Added meta tags, nofollow tags, title tags, h1, etc

- Made sure the name of the site - Flurly - is in the title

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get around this problem?

Thanks!

FWIW if you google with quotation marks "flurly.com", it will show up... but very few people who know that unfortunately
> they don't have a responsibility to protect free speech because they are a private entity

It continually amazes me when I see people who are ostensibly on the left trotting out this chestnut like as though it's even remotely a valid argument for the curtailment of one of the most important rights over the past few centuries. It's like as though they're in complete denial about the idea that this kind of speech control could ever negatively impact them. Must be nice to be completely aligned with corporatism to the extend that your personal set of values is literally dictated to you by the Google HR department.
All it takes is for some other area to reach some critical mass, to gain a reputation for tech and reach a certain tech size. Once that happens, all that pent up CA move out demand will start prevail.
I will have to keep that in mind. A lot of old management interfaces for rack-mount servers run flash for their web interface :S

I think it is crazy that a brazillian bank owns Cognitect, the creator of Clojure, and Plataformatec, the creator of Elixir. I had never heard of them or new about them being acquired by the same company until a few weeks ago. It must be a really interesting bank to work at :)!
Yeah, probably the worst type of profession to attempt to regulate in this way. It's just ridiculous to me that the justice system is pay to play. Seems to contradict the stated purpose of the system by definition.
Well I guess they named their company right!

> standard SNES hardware

It was not uncommon to have expansion chips: even early games such as Super Mario Kart had a (DSP-1) chip to help with 3d calculations. Later chips such as Super FX 1/2 (Star Fox, Doom, Yoshi's Island), Cx4 (Megaman X2/X3), and SA-1 (Kirby's Super Star, Mario RPG) were used in a significant portion of the library.

The SA-1 was basically an additional 10Mhz SNES CPU (which was a 65c816 at about 4Mhz)

That just sounds like the opposite of privacy and additionally restrictions on free speech. If Poland doesn’t like a YouTube video criticizing their government it sounds like they now have a legal framework to get that removed, for example.
They should, yes. "Disturbing the peace" seems to be fabricated, and resisting and officer and failure to disperse should not be applied to journalists given our press freedoms.
what exactly is 'economically illiterate'. i cant take anything you wrote seriously until you explain this made up word wrt this talking point.

if you are talking about the exemption given to the children who inherit property and the prop 13 benefits along with it, i am in agreement.

i am also in cautious agreement with prop 13 being amended when it comes to commercial properties.

any prop 13 amendment that adversely affects tax paying citizens or senior citizens who own property is the untouchable third rail.

any increase in taxes will result in higher cost of living. just like the myth that high density living is sustainable (because a cluster of high density homes within feet of each other is not high density but just over crowded. high density is only sustainable if it spares sprawl and lives within allocated available resources), the notion that high taxes will somehow benefit the state is a very ill thought out plan.

there are a million ways to raise taxes. but following that dollar isnt as easy. every single tax dollar misappropriated by our politicians is a travesty. we are already a highly taxed state. before demanding to tax others on our behalf, perhaps we should first ask WHERE the tax dollars are going right NOW. it's not like we are a tax free state. anyone paying taxes and making a paycheck in california is just an ambulatory ATM for sacramento. tits to balls, we are taxed to death.
It's a completely circular definition (as far as I can see).
Hey, author here.

I wrote this back in January and I am aware of what you are saying about people rushing too fast into DNN.

But I agree with the disclaimer in general and will incorporate it into the article.

BTW, I started with Ng's course simply because of the way he teaches in a very clear way, and not scaring people out, it is a very good intro and most people would feel confident in moving forward to other resources after his course.
I think in the business world this would be called "not having a moat." There's basically only one to proceed if your product can be semi-trivially copied by someone throwing money at the problem. You have to sell it to them for less than it would cost to build in-house. Sure they could throw money at the problem but they won't when it's cheaper to just buy it.

Encapsulating Ruby on Rails Views
It does not autocorrect for me, but maybe you should have also thought about not being 1 letter misspelling of a dictionary word.

Or the fact that flurly's urbandictionary definitions have existed for over a decade and are probably not ideal.
I'm working on a similar thing, tho I don't intend to extract it into a library (yet). I was inspired by Gary Bernhardt's blog post [1] and video [2].

I have an endpoints.ts file, shared between client/server, which has something like:

export type Endpoints = {
createProduct: {
path: '/api/products.json';
method: 'POST';
clientSends: { name: string };
serverResponds: ProductJSON;
};
}

The client can do `makeRequest('createProduct', ...)` and the Express server can use `registerEndpoint('createProduct', ...)` which must adhere to the schema defined above.

TypeScript's structural typing helps a lot here.

Of course, I can "lose" typing through things like raw SQL queries (working on a mini db helper library to help with that), but so I'll have to validate that the endpoints return what they say they do through tests (probs using io-ts).

I'm just getting started (coming from Rails). Not sure what the "correct" way to do this is, but my approach works so far. Would also be nice to have a generic way to create REST endpoints for a given resource, but meh.
