Wow, this is definitely something I didn’t know. I’ve removed the incorrect part of my post, as I wasn’t sure if it’s possible to do a strikethrough on HN. Thanks!

D.C.'S Acting U.S. Attorney Calls Scope of Capitol Investigation 'Unprecedented'

I didn't audit Tensorflow. But I don't install Tensorflow programs, anyway, because I don't have the resources.

The point isn't auditing, though; it's auditability. If it's auditable, then somebody's probably done it – but if it's not, you can't rely on just a spot check of a few dice-picked dependencies.
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" comes to mind.

The Capitol break-in was nothing compared to the degradation from loss of confidence in our institutions, and the thing that can cause that is the overdramatization present on both sides and in your comment.
Is moving to Japan worth it for career/life-balance? I know its a vague question but from the things I've read/seen, Japan seems like an amazing place to be.
This is what the internet was meant to be. You have your little individual corner of the internet: a personal website on a VPS; your personal space to use however you deem fit. People can listen to or ignore you as they please. There is no higher authority playing arbiter, filtering, controlling your little space, who can visit it, who can't. People can avoid your personal space if they wish, but they cannot shut down or destroy it.

And an RSS feed was and still is a great way to deliver and receive messages/updates from someone's personal corner of the internet. I wish it were more fashionable. But part of the reason it's not fashionable is because it's not profitable, financially, socially, or politically.

Other issues include the technical barrier to getting started with a personal site, and discoverability. I'd like to see more federated search engines to solve the discoverability issue.

So yes, it could be an opportunity for RSS to shine, but it won't catch on.
I'm not ok with completely silencing anyone, but I am ok with extreme toxicity correlating with difficulty of amplification.

I don't think alex jones should be cut off from the internet or his home ISP, but I don't think twitter, facebook, youtube, google or anyone else has an obligation to broadcast him if they choose not to for example.
I submitted this because according to a lawyer friend, it is extremely rare for a US Attorney to speak about a big investigation in this much detail.

"What does elimination of Israel mean in the viewpoint of Imam Khomeini?"

"The only means of bringing Israeli crimes to an end is the elimination of this *regime*. And of course the elimination of Israel *does not mean the massacre* of the Jewish people in this region. The Islamic Republic proposed a practical & logical mechanism for this to international communities."

I have a hard time understanding why so many people equate Israel with Israelis. Many people are opposing the Chinese government. Do you also equate their calls to end China's government with a call to genocide against all Chinese?
> When I asked stripe how we can handle taxes they just told me to use another Saas to do the tax calculating for me.

Do you know if most people actually do this? I feel like they don't because I hear about Stripe a lot but never how people handle tax.

> Sure paddle takes away like %10-20 from each payment for their service but it really saves stressing over taxes and other things.

Just to clarify for others, but it used to be 5% + $0.50 for Paddle fees and Paddle take out the country specific tax (which they don't have a choice in) before sending anything to you, leaving you the rest.

So payments from e.g. the US to the UK you won't lose anything extra to tax but from EU countries to the UK the VAT ranges from about 15% to 25% depending on the country (and these tax rules are always changing, but Paddle deal with this for you).
> Are microservices meant to separate data too? As in, each service has its own database.

Ideally yes, to scale.

Sometimes you have a service with obvious and easy-to-split boundaries, and microservices are a breeze.

Some things that are easy to turn into microservices: "API Wrapper" to a complex and messy third-party API. Logging and data collection. Sending emails/messages. User authentication. Search. Anything in your app that could become another app.

However, when your data model is tightly coupled and you need to choose between tradeoffs (data duplication), having bigger services, or even keeping it as a monolith.

Btw, if you don't care about scalability, sharing a database is still still not the best idea. But you can have a microservice that wraps the database in a service, for example. Tools like Hasura can be used for that.
And how inconsistent God was in the story in helping is what I would consider a plot hole and one of the reasons I found it a poor story.

It's called a “deus ex machinā” for a good reason — it makes for rather poor storytelling if some higher power, with all the might to ensure a happy end at any point, only elect to do so at specific points.
Regardless of https, ddg or startpage see your IP address and search query and you'll have to trust they don't log it even passively.

In this case, your query is encrypted on the client side, passed through a proxy, decrypted at the engine, search is performed, and then results are encrypted, passed through the proxy, and the client side decrypts and displays the results.

USER Encrypted Search --- Proxy --- Search Engine Decrypts Search, Searches, Encrypts Search --- Proxy --- USER decrypts results and displays.

The search engine does not know your IP, and Private.SH does not know what you searched for.
>What's more, in all 3,193 elections (one in each US county) every election day, there are polling/canvassing observers for all candidates on each ballot present.

>And since there are 3,193 separate elections, each with their own administrators, poll workers and polling/canvassing observers, literally tens of thousands of people are involved.

It's too late for me to edit the above, but the number above should be 3,143 not 3,193.

My apologies for the typo and any confusion.

> It might be that the unstable stuff is mostly in the standard library and not the compiler itself? Does it make a difference?

It might. There are at least two major things off the top of my head, regarding libstd:

1. specialization is needed for performance around String and &str

2. const generics are needed to support some trait implementations

We currently allow some stuff like this to leak through, in a sense, when we're sure that we're actually going to be making things stable someday. An alternative compiler could patch out 1, and accept slower code, but 2 would require way more effort.

There has been some discussion about trying to remove unstable features from the compiler itself, specifically to make it easier to contribute to, but it unlikely that it will be completely removed from the current implementation of libstd for some time.

Until then, you think everyone in the country should be cut off from the internet?
Well we could avoid "black/white America" terms probably if we were more careful about the statistical significance of such inflammatory statements.

If it is indeed the case, then it is a horrible thing that should be researched more, and dealt with.

If not, publishing it is just racist and divisive.
Mine doesn't, but that's because it's too fancy, and has a special coating on the inside that's supposed to make stuff just come off. Freaking Whirlpool. It doesn't work.

China's Uighur policy isn't "One family one child."

It's sterilization, so that Uighur families can't have children.

EDIT: HN won't let me respond, probably due to the automatic moderation controls kicking in on this article, so here's an example of the forced sterilization policy indiscriminately targeting all Uighur women: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/04/muslim-minorit...
Kentucky Route Zero is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion and is more of an experience than a true game. It really helps to read some critical analysis of the game after playing it to to get a better understanding and appreciation for the historical background that is being referenced.

The game is part adventure, part ghost story, part commentary on the fading american dream, and part artwork. It sounds pretentious, but it never felt that way to me. It is really hard to describe the game and the plot.

It is my favorite game along with Journey.

Yes, there are many laws dictating various businesses.

This is why it is interesting - it’s a question about regulation.
State and law “interfering” with private company interests.

I like regulations on big companies in general, but this one would end up with weird effects, I reckon.
Just here to give a shout-out to any other people on this site who scrub their cast iron with soap and water after each use and live their lives in peace.

It would seem that Twitter is fearful of the CCP, and simply removed the tweet rather than engage with the CCP in a more confrontational way like labeling their tweets.

I hate to disagree, but SEO as an industry was booming pretty early on. I remember going to a conference in 2001 that was massively popular. The type of stuff you'd learn there was pretty outrageous and very very black hat (so much so, that people sharing those tips were too self-conscious to reveal their identities, hence the term black hat).

My point is - you could very much do very well back in those days regardless of your content quality (which consequently trended down and gave rise to content farms). It's only in the last 10 years (and particularly starting in 2014 based on my experience with my own content) that the content quality became a true proxy for ranking, and vice versa.

As a side note, these days, you still have SEO conferences, but the stuff you learn there is so diversified that people have started calling it content marketing and other names. The perhaps most useful gathering is SEOktoberfest, it's invite only and they admit only 30 attendees. Never been there, but I've heard it's worth the six grand that it costs to get in as a first-time attendee (I am not affiliated with it in any shape or form).
They have every right because they are a private corporation. Joke's on China if they think they can post freely without being questioned.

There are not enough people holding the Chinese government's nose to the shit they're dropping.
Do you mean AmE speakers? Because 'confused' is (roughly) what it means to me, a BrE speaker, but your comment made me curious and indeed Wiktionary gives def 2 (proscribed, US, informal) as 'unfazed, unaffected, or unimpressed' instead.

> The researchers did not attempt to identify a cause for this disparity in this study

I think that's an important point. I see people already jumping to the conclusion they prefer in other comments, but from what I understand we don't know what is causing the disparity. The paper points that it exists and should be studied more in details. Which is quite important, but it's too early to declare that a specific cause is _the cause_.
Yes, I agree with that point. I think my point was more that Serverless is a good idea, but the current implementations are still not good at removing complexity. But I can see this easily changing, with open standards and the such.
Less hiccups and downtime. It's faster and with better latency to other third party services. Superior internal control. Ex: In, linode a private IP address gives EVERYONE on the same data center access to your Linode server. Also, last time I used them they didn't have a Firewall.
So none. Thank you for conceding.
Yes, but is that name really fitting?

The meat of this story is that, instead of showing the Google oauth flow which would say “sign in to continue to <app>” with the list of permissions shown to the user, he embedded a web view that is actually a URL for setting up a new android device.

It actually does.

I mean, I didn't give you a specific number of such "mostly peaceful" protests, and they didn't necessarily result in exactly 5 deaths, but it is clear that the protest on the 6th was not the only such protest to result in people dying even with the past year.

Oh, and by the way, that first guy (JuarezTX) has many more posts along those lines.

So, thoughts? Is it more "subjective analysis" to consider these posts to be incitement to violence? Should Parler be removing these?
This type of attack is already known, so it wouldn't be eligible for any kind of bounty. It is why Google is switching to disallowing auth from embedded browsers, and only allowing known-good + standards-compliant browsers to do auth instead.
I wonder if anyone has conducted a study on how many internet comments on articles alleging bias are variations of 'now hang on a second, there may be an innocent explanation here'.
I think you can assess his intent and his state of mind from his contemporaneous statements during the occupation of the capital.

He asked the rioters to “remain peaceful”. As in, by all means, the thing you did to break into the building, that’s OK, but be peaceful. And by the way, the election was stolen from me and I love you.

It was only later, after sustained pressure that Trump told the rioters to leave.

This is like the police after being called to an in-progress home invasion telling the invaders to not break anything while in the house, and by the way we really like you.

"... your falling empire, the almighty America" - I live in Canada, so technically part of America the continent, however I feel your skepticism or doubt relating to the current state of the US is a lack of understanding of the evolution process - even to the universal mechanism of yin-yang balance and cycle: yin is the state of stagnancy or being stagnant or slow moving, whereas yang is action and movement. The US has in fact been in a yin state due to regulatory capture of bad actors taking over and controlling systems, extracting value, for their own selfish reasons - and leaving less, distributing less for others. Policy wise the different complexes that have reenforced to allow this are easy to shift.

The ability for private companies to deplatform who they want is a feature, it's a failsafe against authoritarianism and tyranny - and it's not black and white, all or nothing - it's a spectrum or gradient, and it can be evolved with good core policies like those that will break apart the duopoly and reduce the power of amalgamated mainstream media; I hope you're aware of Andrew Yang and his core policy proposals which will do just that.

I'm mentally too tired to reply thoroughly to the rest of what you say, however you're right in that there is a beast on both sides of the duopoly that's integrated with mainstream media who will sensationalize - and stir up both sides however much they can for the sake of views and revenue. So I don't agree with your premise that either side had actual control of what narrative was presented, which is a problem in of itself - and one pro of social media is people like Yang who can share what they've learned and interact with others online without the gatekeeping of TV channels and newspapers, a relatively direct connection to people interest in tuning into your individual channel; 3 days ago he also stated: "For Cable News we should revive the Fairness Doctrine which the FCC had on the books until 1985 that required that you show both sides of a political issue. It was repealed by Reagan. If there was ever a time to bring it back it’s now." - the thread is here where he discusses this: https://twitter.com/JanPerry/status/1347211706162769921 - he begins by saying "There are 3 problems with our media that are fueling polarization: ..."

This is a perfectly fine place for your "bullshit" - you didn't name call, so you're all good in my books.
Is it a bug?

Arguably, everything here is working as intended.
> Censor hate speech in low engagement content? Isn't that the very reason you gave for why Twitter is not removing those hate speech filled posts? Because they are surprise, surprise low engagement posts.

Nope. You see you tacked on your own little part that changes the meaning in a HUGE way.

Parler eschewed censorship period.

You're slowly inching towards getting this

No matter how much engagement a post had, how much vitriol someone spewed, literally the first page is promising there is no deplatforming a user for their speech.

So when your differentiator is you don't censor at all, you become a lightning rod for things like hate speech!

I mean seriously this applies to ANYTHING: imagine a burger place called "WcDonalds"

We have an 1:1 equivalent to menu to McDonalds.

But we're lesser known, long term prospects are unknown.

Despite that we aim to be functionally equivalent to McDonalds with one small twist...

We allow drug use in our restaurants.

Let's say it's a state that decriminalized drugs, we allow you to toke up in line, as you eat, we're saying its your right.

-

Who do you think ends up going to our WcDonalds?

If someone claims WcDonalds locations are just full of drug users, are you going to go "you have no proof of that!!!!"? Isn't it common sense that's the outcome?

That's Parler and Twitter. The biggest draw to Parler is that you have free speech regardless of engagement, where Twitter is limited speech. Anything that doesn't fit in the Twitter limited speech, including hate speech and racism, is going to be attracted to Parler.

And in Twitter when you see it you can report it and there's a reason for it to be removed! Even if it fails for old low enagament posts!

But on Parler, by design, that content will not be removed. No matter how big it gets, how many reports it has, by design, the user won't be deplatformed.

-

Also seriously I want you to clarify if you actually think Twitter only deletes Right Wing comments, it's a pretty off the wall claim that harms the weight of any further discussion
Very true, just trying to explain the source of the “cloud reduces complexity” argument. There are a number of small operations that don’t want to manage all their own hardware, so cloud and web are conflated, and you get the web platform simplicity argument being used to justify a cloud platform.
Japan is very clean and nature is considered quite sacred. There is greater cultural harmony overall, making it feel very safe and relaxed. In the cities, there is a lot of isolation despite the number of people, but in more rural areas there is a more relaxed attitude. While English is taught there from a young age, it may be difficult feeling truly integrated into the fabric of the culture without learning the language. It depends on what sort of work you do for "work/life balance" since Japanese salarymen are sort-of expected to work long hours. If you work for a Japanese company or a European or US company in Japan, the differences in expectation will be notable.
Certainly food for thought. Unless startpage.com has revenue, and they leave it unchanged, I would have to be cynical and say that it's only a matter of time before the advertising shows up.
