I would argue they basically invented it. A lot of the dirty tactics in play today are because companies feel the need to catch up to Facebook, who set the ecosystem as it is by continually being dishonest and predatory
Yes, agreed. I get that confluence is supposed to be for everybody, not just programmers, but there are plenty of great WYSIWYG implementations that use markdown under the hood (and make that accessible). If I could clone the underlying git repo (or an abstraction or something) like Gollum allows, I'd advocate for confluence everywhere. As it stands now I advocate for either markdown/asciidoc in the code, or gitlab wiki (which allows doing that).
Information overload leads to people seeking succinct information and answers. The upvote/downvote systems ubiquitous today are easily manipulated to spread misinformation, propaganda, and fake news.

We need to do away with upvotes and downvotes. It’s manipulated everywhere it exists.
> Perhaps GNU/Linux should decide

GNU/Linux is an abstract idea, not a person, organization, or even community. GNU/Linux cannot 'decide' anything.

If you want something else, you should use something else. As you mention, popular alternatives exist.
When you are build on a certain core you can't change who/what you are.

Facebook is built on getting / using user data to determine what to show.

Google is built on geting / using user data to determine what to show.

To betray those goals wouldn't make sense. How they go about it can change. Facebook has always gone hard and fast. They treat you more like a raw piece of meat. They will run ab tests on you and treat you like a variable in a ongoing experiment. Google has such reach that they can make minor changes and capture vast amounts of data.

Other companies are doing the same way but instead of using it to determine what to show you they use it to determine what ads look like so you can buy their product.

You can just write information out to files in Terraform with no stress.

In terraform resources this is what that looks like:

resource aws_iam_user email {
name = "email"
}

resource aws_iam_access_key email {
user = aws_iam_user.email.name
}

resource local_file smtp_password {
content = aws_iam_access_key.email.ses_smtp_password_v4
filename = "SES_PASSWORD.secret"
}

So what's the plumbing that you would have to do? Under the hood, Pulumi is using the Terraform providers...

(I left out username, because I don't see where you're setting emailUsername)

In my pipelines I don't bother writing out to files things that are in terraform state. I just create an output for that state (potentially set to sensitive) and then use that output in my CI/CD. Remote state stays encrypted and without wide access and I don't have to worry about secrets being in files anywhere.

That's where the bash scripts do things with outputs. It could by python or whatever, it doesn't matter really. But with bash I can easily just set variables to `terraform output -json | jq <select output &/|| do stuff>`.

Mainly all I do is write terraform outputs to vault (i have simple bash automation to do all of this) and then I can use the Vault secrets in other CI/CD pipelines.
Huh, didn't know that active placebos existed. (I'm not in the medical field) Would you go more in depth on this? What would they use as a placebo, if not psilocybin? Couldn't an active placebo affect the patients and skew the results/measured effectiveness of the main drug being studied?

That’s a shame. I have a high-powered desktop and sometimes it’s nice to work from the patio by opening a few VMs on my laptop. I get the oomph of the big box with the mobility of the laptop.

Agree, but having to make these judgement calls at all is a mistake. We need to get to 'just fix it'.

Knocking on Turing’s Door: Quantum Computing and Machine Learning
The entire Library of Congress according to the earlier calculations would fit into 21 TB. There's already a 100 TB SSD that's the size of a 3.5" HDD.[0] 10000 times the Library of Congress would fit onto 2100 of these drives.

The dimensions for this 3.5" drive are 26.1 x 147 x 101.8 mm.[1] That's a volume of roughly 391 cm^3. 2100 of them take up 821,100 cm^3.

A Fractal Design Define 7 has the dimensions of 547 x 240 x 475 mm. That's a volume of 62,358 cm^3.[2]

You could fit 2100 of those SSDs into the same volume as about 13.2 Fractal Design Define 7 cases. That's roughly the size of a bookshelf. You could fit the books of 10000 Libraries of Congress onto one bookshelf.

Now imagine using tape for this. Edit: I'm actually not sure whether tape has better density.

I'm still having trouble drawing a line in the sand between "healthy skepticism" and "overriding suspicion".

When someone like michael moore does "bowling for columbine", people didn't accuse him of being a conspiracy theory advocate.

Yet, if he were to do a documentary today on the influence of pharmaceutical lobbying on the way the world handled covid (or the influence of china), he would surely be suspected.

I don't think this category is useful in any way to think about a given issue / theory.
That's not an answer, you are building the compilers and tools from source, the only reason not to trust the builds of a cloud hosted build environment is if you believe Microsoft is maliciously poisoning builds of OSS compilers its compilers build in a way that escapes detection from its easily disassembled byte code of the compiler and everything it generates, including other modified F# compilers it builds which has to somehow retain its reciprocal poisonous code - all undetected.
Not GP, but I'd say because it's heavy, and if you didn't have to use it (as there are alternative methods) then you don't pay the performance penalty.

i completely disagree. i'm glad this person wrote that - it lets me know that this board isn't completely 100% dead and there's people here who think posts about 'facebooks integrity advertising chief' have no business being on a board about Hacker News. maybe everyone is afraid to speak up against this kind of useless B.S. for fear of being accused of not being 'constructive' enough or something.
When I became vegetarian I was 'hungry'.l in the way you describe for about 1-2 weeks, after that the issue disappeared and a plate of beans is very satisfying and keeps my stomach happy for a long period.

I would guess this is a lot about habituation/expectations and less about whether the food is meat/milk product/soy/grains. Therefore also some caution about the study: eating an unfamiliar food a few times might leave a very different effect than something the body is used to.

> people who order online have already accepted the absurd fees and taxes imposed by the app (19% fee on Doordash, 16% on Grubhub, + tips + taxes).

Is this absurd? You have to balance it against the service you want, which is having someone drive to an arbitrary burger joint, wait for your order, and then drive it to your door. That's such an inefficient use of someone else's time that I'd expect to pay a lot for it. It's not clear to me that 15-20% is somehow "absurd". I get mild sticker shock on the few occasions I order delivery, but the sticker shock is directed at my own laziness, not price-gouging. Wasn't there an article on HN just yesterday calling these companies "parasites" for screwing investors, drivers, and restaurants, all in the name of delivering unreasonably low consumer prices?

> If you're willing to pay extra money in order to get your desired food while you're busy doing your own work, isn't it reasonable to get mad at the restaurant and the app for handling the food poorly?

Those standards don't extend infinitely. As the original comment I replied to says, some foods don't deliver well. If you get a burger delivered, it's probably not going to be as good as in the restaurant. This isn't just common sense; it's the type of common sense that a sufficiently intelligent person is usually not going to be able to avoid thinking about. As an upthread comment says, it's fine if you want a soggy burger, but expecting it to taste fresh off the grill is almost physically impossible.

The only way for the restaurant to get around this is by leaving items off of their delivery menu. But this would be a terrible idea: if I felt like a delivery burger, I wouldn't want a restuarant deciding for me that it's too low-quality to even be an option.

Fundamentally,the act we're talking about is complaining in a review that a (subsidized) delivered burger tastes like a delivered burger. It seems pretty irreducibly dumb to me.

We have certainly heard from some customers that agree that 'everything' is slow, but we've also heard from other customers saying they have no problems.

We would love to fix "everything", and we have some longer term projects focused on this -> However, "everything" fixes seem to be a more incremental boost and also take longer time to complete.

If you have any feedback about "specific" items that are the most frustrating, we'd love to hear about those -> targeted fixes for specific can be much faster, much greater gains, and usually offer better user experience gain/engineering time returns.

If not, I can only say that we are definitely working on making 'everything faster'

(edit: trying to reply but looks like HN is limiting my reply rate)

(edit: maybe I can post my replies here and hopefully they'll get read)

------
@rusticpenn - This is definitely possible that 'some users are just used to it'. But we also see a very wide variance in individual customers' performance numbers (ie. some instances have consistently faster performance than other instances), and even within individual instances variance amongst users (some users have consistently faster experience than other users on the same instance) -> we're trying what we can to narrow down the causes in this variance.

Hearing from "users with slow experiences" is simply one of the ways we're trying to track this down, but it helps if users are willing to provide more info.

--------

@ratww - thank you for the suggestion! We have some amount of data that helps us see what might be different between instances, but haven't gone out of our way to 'interview a fast customer', I'll bring this up with the team to see.

The two biggest factors I think we've seen: slow machines can contribute (but not a necessity), and large pages (especially with large tables, or large number of tables) can contribute.
Science, when done properly, is supposed to divorce itself from our biases. The whole point of the scientific method is that someone like Kary who is a bonafide crackpot, can still make one of the most influential valid scientific discoveries of all time.

As a process in its truest form, it works. And we should all be very glad of that, and use it as a lesson to be aware of how biased we can be, and how a biased person can still wield the tools to arrive at the truth.
This isn’t rocket science. At least 20% of all dollars that have ever existed were created this year. It’s inflation. This is also why Bitcoin is peaking. It’s really interesting to me that media outlets like the NYT continue to obscure this fact.

Honest belief is not sufficient for a good HN comment. Inflated rhetoric and flamebait can just as easily be "honest belief" as anything else. In fact they're easier that way, since then one can feel satisfied with oneself as one breaks the rules. It's the rules that matter, though, so please follow them: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

That includes not using HN primarily for ideological or political battle any more.
Your lie has to pass scrutiny. Your lawyer also had to be willing to lie on paper. The companies who set up these fake corporations (with bogus boards) now have to supply a real person. If they don’t make an attempt to verify this information, then they become criminally liable too.

Hm, this sounds like something I would want to use, but I just tried it with an Ubuntu Bionic server on Dreamhost (Python 3.6) and got an exception installing flask and flup:

distutils.errors.DistutilsOptionError: can't combine user with prefix, exec_prefix/home, or install_(plat)base

I don't understand why this doesn't work, but it seems like it should.

I was able to install those 2 packages in a virtualenv (although weirdly Dreamhost requires you to build your own Python 3 to do that, python3 -m venv doesn't work)

I've been programming Python since 2003 and have no idea what's wrong :-(

TBH I thought I was a luddite for avoiding virtualenv and pip for a long time. I would downloads tarballs and use distutils to build them! But for this project I'm using flask which has more dependencies... Gah. And now I'm seeing all the downsides...

It’s worth noting that people do crap on google for doing this style of stuff constantly. It has basically nothing to do with the release early part, and everything to do with how things are deal with after that early feature light release. The entire point of “release early” is to be able to communicate with users about what direction the project should go. If you don’t keep iterating and working with user feedback (as at least google often doesn’t), then that’s why people complain.
I'll pitch a different approach: nobody else's experiences/opinions will be close enough to yours for them to help much, if at all. It's like asking a stranger "What language should I use for my app?" - only here they don't know what you're building. You may not even know what you're building :-)

Instead of trying to guess right, spend a month in each of these using Airbnb monthly rentals, then decide. A monthly rental is roughly the price of rent. For the cost of rent, you'll have a fantastic experience and conclusively answer a question only you can answer.

I've done this and others I've suggested it to have done this, and the possible outcomes are:

1. Any of them is fine. Choose based on non-experiential stuff, like taxes, ease of travel, relatives nearby, etc.

2. One of them is obviously better than the rest.

3. None of them were better than places you've lived. Don't move.

4. Some aspect is actually much more important than you thought. For example, an aspect you know is important like access to water sports, or an unexpected one like access to transit or a friend to introduce you to their social circle. You pick a city based mostly on that.

Just live your life there, don't be a tourist on vacation. Pick months with representative weather for the area, ie, don't go to Texas during the winter.
Imagine if products prior to the 90s or outside software had these sorts of “agreements.” Every store in a mall would have them and every piece of fruit in a grocery store would require you to agree to arbitration clauses and privacy policies and non disclosure and non competition. Consumer reports and class action suits would not exist, and nobody would really be allowed to talk about it because of the NDAs. Automated facial and voice recognition in smart home devices could sell data to companies to enforce it. The news would not be able to talk about it. It would be a good setup for a dystopian movie, no?

That incubation period doesn't sound right. Google tells me: "The interval from HIV infection to the diagnosis of AIDS ranges from about 9 months to 20 years or longer, with a median of 12 years." (https://www2.health.vic.gov.au/public-health/infectious-dise...)

So yes, median of 12 years. Not minimum.

Wikipedia's entry on HIV/AIDS denialism links to this document from a committee organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1988 where the committee says they find the evidence of a causal link between HIV and AIDS conclusive (page 33): https://www.nap.edu/read/771/chapter/4 The rest of that section explains the evidence they have: extremely high correlates for HIV infection and subsequent AIDS prevalence in at-risk communities, no cases in populations that were not at risk, near 100% detection rate of HIV in the blood of AIDS patients, and the tracing of HIV infected blood donors to transfusion patients acquiring AIDS.
Something I think you are missing is that at the moment if the government is investigating potential money laundering and the trail leads to a shell company then the trail ends there. With the new law, if the company is registered to someone that doesn't exist then a felony has been committed and they can probably seize all the assets of the company.

If the criminals risk forfeiting their money they may look to other avenues instead of using American shell companies.

I very much doubt anyone is under the illusion that this will stop criminals trying to launder money through American companies, it just makes it easier to seize assets of potential laundering operations and to investigate sources.
Yeah, not sure how to handle that. It seems like the guide has been deleted. But the rating is correct, I researched the Mi A1 specifically, the battery is easy to swap out. So the information still seemed useful to me.

Not sure how to interpret your comment, but it is indeed very clearly illegal in Europe where anti-discrimination laws (at EU and national levels) explicitly state that it is illegal to treat people in a worse way on the ground of gender or race, which is exactly what she is calling for.

But the LG UltraFine 5K is still alive and well. My original one (vintage 2017) died recently (bad mainboard) and I went out shelled out $1400 for a brand new one from the Apple Store. They had a bunch in stock - it was not hard to locate.

I don't know whether it's new firmware or new hardware or what, but this monitor works 1000000000 better than my older version of the exact same one. I had plenty of issues on the last one - wouldn't startup after sleep, etc. This new one is just flawless - starts right up every morning, no ghosting, etc.
That’s correct. I’m using a Mini so that’s not an issue but with a laptop you’d have to connect power and the monitor separately.

Lenovo sell one that does provide power.
Yup, strong similarities there, since the original Rust compiler was implemented in OCaml :)
