As an observation, I think a great deal of this is because of the "depth of features" of things a really good service (like Discord) gets insanely right. There's just this mountain of really important quality-of-life things, or needed features available out of the box.

For example, I was scared when I started using discord, because it's entirely reasonable to think if I'm logged in in two places and start a voice chat, surely it'll start playing that audio anywhere I'm logged in, right? Everything else follows a "you do it on one machine you're logged in on, and you do it on all the others as well (such as writing a partial message, and not posting it - the same partial message is right there waiting if you grab a different device).

Well, not only do they correctly handle that one use case (audio chats) with a totally different 'you're doing it only in one place' model, they even track which machine you're currently live on. If you're actively using your home machine, they don't ring your phone - your phone which you might have left home. Or the session you accidentally left running on your office machine. They know you're actually live on a particular machine, and don't annoy or embarrass people by making the others ring.

There are just a lot of really, really important things like this they get right.

Forums did have a little bit of shared standardization, since a lot of people tend to use only a handful of highly popular forum apps, but kinda like the old 90s-style thing where there was always a roster of "must have" OS tweaks and apps you'd install on a new machine (and get to thinking 'geez, why don't they just make this part of the OS) - there's a similar thing with forums where there are a lot of sidecar things that ought to part of every forum, but simply aren't standardized. (Some of these are critical to doing certain jobs; some of them are, like accessibility features, critical to certain users, and difficult to make forum admins care about if they don't personally have the problem).

That, and what you're saying about "having it all in one place". It has a lot of benefits, like being able to cross-communicate and deeplink between communities.
Considering philosohy "pseudoscience" is what's silly.

Without the human mind, there is no meaningful concept of "reality".

The title is not a yes/no question. You can't answer "is it real or fake?" by "no", the law doesn't apply and you have to take the bait to get the answer.
When trading on exchanges no one can see your order before it makes it to the exchange, it’s literally a private connection directly to the exchange.

Once your order hits the exchange 1 of 2 things can happen, your order can trade (that is it immediately clears) and all participants get an update which shows the new state of the exchange (the previous state minus whichever order(s) your order matched against). Or your order doesn’t trade, it “rests” because your price doesn’t match what anyone else is offering. At that point your order is at the back of the queue at that price and all other participants get an update showing the new state of the market with your order added to the state.

So why is latency important? The most important reason is not adding orders, which is only important if no one is already quoting your price, it’s for cancelling orders. If you get some information that makes you think your orders are incorrectly priced you want to cancel them before anyone can take advantage of that and then get new orders in at the new price you think is correct. This information is either off exchange (e.g. the fed job report) or is on the current exchange or another similar one (e.g. some big hedge fund is selling a ton of Swiss Francs in European exchanges).

On the map in the article exist 2 exchanges, the CME and the ICE which trade different but highly correlated symbols (CME WTI oil and ICE Brent oil). If I see a price change on the CME for those correlated symbols I can bet with high confidence the price will change for the ICE symbols as well, so I’ll race to cancel my orders that don’t reflect that new anticipated price.

For market makers providing liquidity order management is as important if not more so than inventory management and that’s where speed reduces risk, allowing them to provide cheaper liquidity.

A market maker wants to end the day flat on inventory with well positioned orders. Holding a big portfolio of inventory is the worst case scenario.
The Room (2003) likes this. The point is, that with certain products it's not a valid strategy, but fuckups do happen regardless :)
Personally, I'll have the former style of business jargon over the latter. Sure, "leverage the innovative" doesn't mean anything, but at least it's not actively infantilizing.
Yeah I was curious about your experience but at the same time the wondering and living it without prior info may be better.

What made you go and what made you leave though ?
I started using st from suckless and realized that met most of my needs, especially when I learned to use tmux properly. In some ways XTerm is the luxury version compared to st. I don't necessarily recommend st, but it is always interesting to learn that you can get by with a lot less than you thought you could. And it helps you learn some tricks you might not otherwise think you needed.
> The average American earns more than the average European, let alone the average global citizen. Heck, even construction workers in the US make way more than in Germany or Denmark.

Is this based on data or a is it a generalized assumption?

A short time ago, on HN, there was debate about the exactly opposite argument - that the purchasing power significantly decreased¹.

This is a good feature but normal users are getting locked out constantly. IMO a good middle ground is if you forget your password or lose access, you can start the process of a factory reset which triggers notifications to your apple account and your email telling you to cancel it if the device was legitimately lost or stolen but if nothing happens after a week your device gets reset.

Part true, but to be precise:

Public, notably 4G infrastructures, have been used as underlying networks for day to day military and security activity. The overlay network itself is still encrypted and resilient by using other networks if public network is not available.

With 5G, it even accelerates. Therefore it justifies part of the ban of Huawei and the security needed for 5G networks.

So this program does not look so astonishing.
Algorithmic just means using a computer to decide what to do, and often to execute the trades too. What I described can and was done by manual options traders.

As for a guide yes it's hard due to all the get rich quick adverts. Perhaps read Wilmott to get an overview of how things are priced.
I strongly believe the goal post of online censorship should be incitement of violence or obvious hatespeech. The rest will always be open to interpretation, that will depend on the biases of the censors. It seems to me this is the case here. There is nothing in his (other) tweets that incites violence.

Or can you show anything? Can they do it? After all the criticism they received, they still can't produce a IoV tweets as evidence? This does not look questionable to you?

A question I have is - why am I even asked to be reading twitter's thoughts about a matter, instead of actual tweets or things that the account wrote? Who is twitter? Why should I care about their opinion, who gave them right to affect opinion? Why are they supposed to have the moral authority to decipher complex situations for me and tell me how I should understand one message or another? Who elected them? What was the democratic process behind it?

It is these questions that make the situation real shady, not the two tweets.

I think the recent mass de-platforming is a knee-jerk reaction to the Capitol riots.

There are so many problems that need solving 2021 and beyond in order to maintain and civil and fair society.

I don't believe it's going to be the platforms to lead the charge, it's going to have to come from lawmakers.

When you can't tell the difference between a right wing US citizen and a Russian intelligence operative on an anonymous internet forum, there is a big problem.

When media is able to distribute blatant lies and get away with it (and when the media is so heavily concentrated) there is a problem.

When a certain political demographic can silence individuals with no oversight, there is a problem.

There are lots of problems and it's going to be hard to solve them, but we should try.
If the brand of your political party is “contains at most 20% confederate sympathizers” you have real problems.
This analysis only makes sense if you discard the context for the tweet.
Everything with voice. Not that secure but only use it for nonsense things and keep the traffic separate.
You might be thinking of Quantum Field Theory, which models particles as excitations in fields specific to those particles. It's completely compatible with the Schrödinger equation, but operates on a higher level of abstraction to allow easier understanding of systems of multiple particles.
Humans are incredibly biased in making judgements like this. How do you “train” a person to enforce a standard that goes against their inherent biases?

Seems like the more objective the process can be shifted (by moving away from human decisions), the more effective/fair the process becomes.

Anyway, it sounds like you may work in this space, and, therefore, might have further insight, which I am very interested in hearing about.

It is definitely an Achilles Heel for social media platforms.

In this case I was considering three points, but yeah, they're all in the northern hemisphere, so your scenario applies.
Who is Twitter? They own and operate Twitter, and are the final arbiters for what is allowed on Twitter.
That's far from all Trump said and did.
he incited a riot then encouraged more riots by calling the people who shit all over the capital building (yes they did) and beat an officer to death with an american flag patriots, and that he loved them on twitter

maybe you can explain to the dead officers family that trump did nothing wrong there, tell his kids
You'd make this change alongside others that would require recertification and retooling anyway, and presumably a lot of those engineers have a full-time contract so that's not an additional cost. Overall assembly cost may be higher or lower depending on those other changes. It really is just that $0.0273 for the switch, which compared to the very steep marketing and branding challenge of convincing privacy-minded folks that Amazon isn't evil, is nothing.

I love how people on HN can rationalize every imaginable bad thing, and figure out reasons why the good thing is really, truly impossible. Qwerty is superior to any alternative, healthcare in the US is completely rational, we can't build cheap tunnels but at least we build the best tunnels, English spelling is a feature not a bug, as are Imperial units by the way, and college education is optimally priced.

Money affords a certain amount of incompetence.. Disney has nearly $20 billion cash on the balance sheet. Their product might never be as well designed and efficient as Netflix's (and I very much enjoy the Netflix technical blogs that lay out the complicated engineering to shave ms off of latency and compress things 1% better) but they don't really need to be if they have Pixar + Star Wars + Marvel + the Disney Vault and a streaming service that works well enough to launch those titles.
But they do seem to emerge from the same struggle don't they ?

At least here in the Czech Republic the share of people owning their home vs. the share of people renting has not changed dramatically.

Low interest prices are likely to spur second home buying among people who already own.

It's difficult to generalize the wealth of Europe, so this is not strictly wrong, but it's not strictly correct, either.

Northern countries (at the end of the spectrum, Scandinavian nations) are typically far richer and with more stable job positions than the eastern/southern.
Linux Puttering is not only a talentless programmer, he's a horrible, evil, wicked person, who in a just world should be beaten to death with a claw hammer, or thrown out of the nearest airlock.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Most scientists fully expect the approved vaccines to prevent infection and transmission for some significant % of people. The only thing that hasn't been conclusively proven is what that % number is.

Not to mention there is already limited/preliminary data that the Moderna vaccine reduces asymptomatic infection (https://www.wsj.com/articles/can-you-still-spread-covid-19-a...).

It's funny that your comment is fading out due to downvotes, as if disappearing from the existence.

It reminded me of Douglas Adams' quote from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
'LIBERATE MICHIGAN!' -Trump, Twitter

Soon after this Trump's insurgents were intending to carry out a two week long televised execution spree in my state capitol building.

Hmm. A siege on the seat of government. Where does sound familiar. Didn't Trump stage a rally down the road from one that got besieged?

How weird is that huh? These funny coincidences. Lets discuss another coincidence.

Recall when Trump supporters consisting of Nazis and white nationalist groups held the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville? How one of his supporters committed a domestic terrorist ramming attack against protestors killing a girl?

After being forced to make a statement by those near him, against his wishes, Trump stated there was "very fine people on both sides." Essentially saying thank you to his supporters instead of disowning the extremist elements among them.

Fast forward to the D.C. attack. Who was in the crowd? The same white nationalists that years ago rallied at Unite the Right. One being Matthew Heimbach who already committed violence at one of Trump's rallies.

What did Trump say after his coup failed, at a time when he was meant to denounce the extremists among his supporters?

'I LOVE YOU. YOU ARE SPECIAL.'

So I'm going to get to my point, I don't believe your concern. Maybe people 'on the right' should spend less time fomenting outrage among themselves and start the process of distancing themselves from the cult of Trump.
How to Keep Up to Date with Web Development
Reinstating net neutrality will be a good thing. Shelving that mostly helped ISPs, who've now expanded their anti-competitive zero-rating practices to broadband.
This is looking more and more like a coordinated censorship attack against people who have power and who don't think the same way as the "left".

From Paul’s weekly post:

Many Americans viewed this assault on social media accounts as a liberal or Democrat attack on conservatives and Republicans, but they are missing the point. The narrowing of allowable opinion in the virtual public square is no conspiracy against conservatives. As progressives like Glenn Greenwald have pointed out, this is a wider assault on any opinion that veers from the acceptable parameters of the mainstream elite, which is made up of both Democrats and Republicans.

This is what Americans need to understand. Democrat vs. Republican, right vs. left are smokescreens designed to distract you from actual issues. The real divide is more like legacy institutional technocracy vs. local-focused democracy.

In real terms: Trump and Sanders are mirror images of each other, not opposites. Both basically have/had the same populist platform with different implementations.
Not nearly as much as Fox and OAN are extensions of the Republican party. These platforms have allowed Trump and QAnon etc. go on for years and when they finally put their foot down they are unreasonable? It's Fox's corporate policy to be an extension of the GOP.
Whoa, so many factual mistakes.

RIM is dying/dead, and Shopify is mostly a US company now.

Great, not only an anecdote but an outlier too.

> Most of our workers don't work as hard

I would describe SV founders as working hard, but not staff. However, SV senior staff usually have worked at marquee companies and know how to work smart, when they have to.

> they don't have to worry about healthcare costs.

US companies pay engineers salary PLUS healthcare premiums.

However, in the future US copays will creep up to $10,000 and more as premiums increase 20%/year.
So what did he say? Can you please produce a tweet where he incited violence? I only ask because no one including twitter seems to be able to do that? And I have looked... Maybe it's hard to do now that the account is banned... What is this "context" they speak of, where is the hate speech?
At what point has his site been favorable?

Never played the Cyberpunk 2077, but having recently finished Witcher 3 GOTY edition, it seems there are still a substantial number of bugs in it. Some bugs even prevented me from finishing a quest.

Despite this, I still enjoyed the game a lot. I wonder why the reaction is so different this time, as CDPR is not known for their "perfect" gameplay. That said, given their style of releasing, I'd prefer playing it later for patches and free additional content.
This is also a plot point in the Broadway musical (and its movie adaptation) “Chicago”. It even gets a great song, full of double entendres, “My Baby and Me”.
But isn't that just the theory happening to be "right"? If you have some thing that describes how nuclear physics works, and it happens to predict a particle that turns out to do what was predicted, that means the particle is real in the sense of being described accurately?

Reminds me of tunnelling. That's one of those "it's weird but the equation should work on the other side of the barrier" situations, lo and behold stuff goes through the barrier.
So your smoking gun is... an opinion piece from 2015 where the host didn’t contradict or challenge the opinions of the guests? I’ve heard lots and lots of unchallenged opinions from guests on NPR, many of them from conservative perspectives. It is not always possible (or even desirable) to be a real-time fact checker in a daily interview show.

So again, an example of bias in actual news reporting?
I don't think it's anything new. People used to call political activists' house to make death threats. It's a recurring theme in Selma, the movie about Dr. King.

I never had to deal with this as a community moderator, but these sort of virtue spirals can destroy communities if they're not nipped in the bud.
This is gold. I think that with a few extra tweaks (sane scroll bars and the like) it might replace rxvt as my regular “lite” terminal.
But it's not an argument from the paper. The idea is that superintelligence have to understand a consequence of any program to check for harm. And this is undecidable due to the halting problem. This argument is correct, but trivial and not worth a paper, in my opinion.
> President Trump’s permanent ban from Twitter and other outlets – was shocking and chilling, particularly to those of us who value free expression and the free exchange of ideas. The justifications given for the silencing of wide swaths of public opinion made no sense

That's all I need to read in order to dismiss anything further that he says.
It's a MEMS microphone: silicon electromechanical device + amplifier in one package.

First, this generally means that when depowered, the output signal line is connected to ground by the ESD protection path.

Second, the actual mechanism which picks up the audio is generally variably capacitive-- a few picofarads-- in MEMS mics, and requires a pretty high bias (~15-200V) voltage to induce a usable signal for the in-package amplifier to be able to pick up the audio.

To not only have the in-package amplifier turned off, but also no significant bias voltage across the microphone electrodes, and somehow pick this up on the other side of the trace would be somewhat miraculous.
Pure speculation: To prove a point about incoming FB bans you don't have to concentrate on a single person. Get a large number of "not very active, but known and generally acceptable" people. Spam reports for any old posts that can be taken the wrong way. Wait for any success story. You're bound to find someone who isn't currently protected, or someone who will make a review mistake.

To be clear: I'm not saying this is what happened. Only that we know targeted mass-reporting to get people banned happens and is successful, so it's one of possibilities.
I was quoting the parent comment for misspelling "pottering" as "poettering" since I'd not encountered either term.

I'm not sure using someone's surname is such a great idea for this purpose. But I now at least understand why. Also their anger at the added complexity being done to Linux and surrounding structures including but not limited to systemd.

But these structures are still in flux. Even if it means a mess along the way.
One is untelligible and the other is at least. But maybe in action they end up creating the same politics and systems.
