Can you tell us more about how you’ve been using this service?
Thanks for hitting the nail on the head. The problems we have are manufactured by the structure of the medium (BigCorp social media optimizing engagement at scale) that we cling to.

For those looking for a relatively accessible introduction to McLuhan’s ideas, check out his book “The medium is the message/massage”. It’s fairly short, and with illustrations, quite readable. I think it has more concrete examples than “Understanding media” which is a more abstract & denser read.
As an industry we're letting history repeat itself and making all the same mistakes.

There are different kinds of developers. At it's most base form, you have systems focused developers and algorithmic focused developers. Sure there is a grey area but I think those two buckets are pretty defensible.

In the data science world you have an exact parallel. Those who build the systems and those who optimize the thing the system supports.

In the ML world you have another parallel. Those who build the systems and those who optimize and pioneer the model architectures and parameters.

We never reached consensus on the titles for different kinds of developer/programmer/computer scientists. And we're failing now to reach consensus on sane titles for ML and DS.
It’s a different problem when someone with authority does this. “Someone #AssasinateTrump” from a random person without authority (implied or otherwise) to actually order an assassination runs afoul of their community guidelines, Trump saying we should take the capitol is likely a crime because of his authority.

That being said, these Twitter guidelines are an absolute mess because they rely on human moderation and human attention. I don’t think they deserve their status as a defacto public square.
Ask HN: What orgs. can help defend an activist accused of hacking the gov.?
Yesterday, Andre Conte https://twitter.com/AndreBConte, a well-known Panamanian human rights activist was taken by the Panamanian police to face accusations of stealing data from government servers. More details here: https://www.prensa.com/impresa/panorama/fiscalia-pide-una-audiencia-para-imputar-a-andre-conte/ . Given Conte's vocal human rights advocacy activities, criticisms of the government, given the Panama's long track record of impunity regarding to human rights violations (most recently the violent treatment of protestors), it is suspected by many that this is a move by the Government to abuse the courts in order to silence and intimidate its critics. This case has little precedent in Panama, and the ineptitude of the court systems to handle cases regarding information security came to light recently with the failed attempt to convict an ex-president (Ricardo Martinelli) for wiretapping. Are there international organizations that could help in this case? For example, helping to determine the validity of the evidence presented by the government, etc.

> The most valuable people in the data chain will be those that can take idea to near-production.

Having hired many data scientists/ML engineers over the years, people that build robust automated intelligence directly into products are extremely rare. I've estimated a maximum of 10K people in the entire world. They also command the highest salaries, not coincidentally. Very few people have both the statistics and engineering backgrounds as well as temperament to be successful, particularly when the problem requires new data sources or new types of models. There are some real simple practical hurdles such as the need to implement robust tracking that allows data snapshotting at the time when a decision needs to be made without affecting product performance, as well as figuring out how to gather data on users/situations that are actually important for moving the needle (first time users, casual users, etc.) There is also a mismatch between the best frameworks for prototyping/research and implementation which (at least at the companies I've worked for) can be summarized as "Java is good for application development, not ML. Python is good for ML, not application development."

It's proprietary; patented by one company.
> become boring

80-95% of "ML" has always been "boring" and any data scientist/ML-engineer worth their salt know this. This also concerns what you refer to as "pure ML job". It only takes fresh grads and juniors a couple of projects to realize the true meaning of "data cleaning", "outlier detection" "robustness" and their likes - it's painstaking work.

Maybe for you. I don’t use Facebook and if it disappeared I wouldn’t care. But I know many people find value in it, and I respect that.
While that meets the definition of "person that does nothing", but is not the cheapest alternative. That person has student loans to pay off.
It is basically:

- wine with some additional patches (written by Codewavers themselves so they will make it to wine proper)

- DXVK and its DX12 counterpart for better direct X compat (these work fine with wine, but they are not part of wine)

- Some bridging layer to let wine programs talk with native Steam (previously you would have had to run Steam itself under wine)

You can run other programs under proton by adding them to Steam, but probably not worth it for non games.
> iCloud isn’t for you.

I’ve come to this conclusion. So what are my options since Apple keeps such tight control on everything? Plug in nightly to iTunes or libimobiledevice? Stand up an iTunes server for LAN backups requiring Windows or macOS? What about the 30-40% of nights I’m on the road?

I’m all for ditching iCloud for backups but Apple has made it really inconvenient to do automated backups with anything but iCloud. Libimobiledevice is slowly working towards LAN backups so we’re getting there but then I’m still in need of mDNS reflection to make it happen over WAN.

I’ve made efforts into tying as much of my data to self-hosted solutions as possible but full device backup on your own hardware is still a gaping hole in the iOS ecosystem.

There is an art to it, and I just got lucky. I saw someone had posted it yesterday and it got no attention. I reposted it in case it went better and it did.

Usually HN doesn't let you repost, but in some cases it does if the original article flew under the radar and didn't get much attention.

This is pretty fascinating!

It's a shame subclass numbers do change from version to version, so there is no "one-size-catch-all" injection string.

Someone in this thread posted a solution with next() that iterates over subclasses to find the correct one. But an injection with spaces won't work as well when injected in jinja2 (something that original injection accomplishes in python2).
Going down this path, consider that Facebook caused genocide, the active killing of a population.

Such protective equipment might be legal in most parts of the world, but they have a small market - the ad in the article is selling it like any regular product... literally they say "The survival gear that you are missing!", like it's some pillow being sold for a good night sleep.

>I would bet any EU state (and in case of my EU country I can buy an AR-15 or any sort of semi-automatic weapon)

Well in the case of my EU country we can't buy AR-15 or any semi-automatic rifle. The weapons owned here are mostly for hunting, not for sports/self defense.

Godfather was Walloon, ex-roommate was Flemish. Very different accents when speaking English - my godfather sounded like a French person, the Flemish roommate could be mistaken for a Scandinavian ... also notable that he sounded nothing like a Dutch person, who in my experience have very good British or North American "clean" accents.

... but without the stigma.

But I think the guy himself has a point when he says he lowers the bar. Think how many different jobs (or "roles") there that can be ranked in a kind of hierarchy: not in the sense of a career ladder, but in services and expertise offered. Between the bottom of this hierarchy, and nothing, is a gap to fill.

Take for example personal protection. Sure, if I need a high tier of that service, I could get myself a bodyguard, maybe one of those with ex-military experience and all the combat training etc. Between that and "nothing" is a random joe who tags along to the Tinder date, like this guy.

Or sure I could meet a licensed therapist. Don't want to? Can meet a friend. Don't have one? This random dude to the rescue.
One of my favourite hobbies is to look for available domain names. If I find something interesting then I turn it into a weekend project, and if I really love the name and see a lot of potential in it, then I go a step further. My favourite domain that I discovered this past year is Ask.Moe, which I found using my domain name finder tool (https://ask.moe/domain). This approach is perhaps not ideal if your goal is to make money, but if you're looking for a fun weekend project that could turn into a startup then I think it's worth trying out.
Just bring evidence next time. Easy peasy. Otherwise, learn.
That’s a false dichotomy. The only thing that ad tech gets you is specific targeting on a per user basis. You can still advertise related products and services based on the context in which the ads are presented without needing to know the marital status age range and skin color of the person doing the viewing.

The problem with sin taxes is that they even further increase the divide between rich and poor.

The wealthy won't be concerned if they're spending twice as much on booze, as it's such a small fraction of their income. But the working class may be denied one of their few pleasures - even if they were perfectly capable of keeping their consumption at reasonably healthy level.

Even worse than taxing alcohol is trying reduce car use by taxing people off the roads (without significantly improving alternatives). That's taking away vast numbers of opportunities from those who need them the most.
I've heard it's more like an acting role.

You can't literally do nothing.
But that's already what "link" means. If you make everyone use "associated" in this context it will just acquire the same colloquial connotation as "link" and you've gotten nowhere.

From my European point of view. One was response to conspiracy theory that cops are assholes biased black people (much more likely that cops are assholes in general), second was response to conspiracy theory that democrats stole the election (much more likely republicans just didn't vote by mail). That said, attacking government building during recent riots makes much more sense then previous BLMers looting and setting on fire random supermarkets/buildings which were not related to cops or government in general.
> My daughter learned to say "chouette, c'est joli !" in her french class, which is preposterous and almost akin to saying 'Jolly gay, old chap!' in English today.

Don't be so harsh. I would not be surprised to hear a child (~6/8 years old) say that, assuming some kind of polite/policed family background.

> Yes, they don't teach you the "on a...", "faire le truc avec...", "ouais" and "ca marche"

Imagine us watching Stringer Bell from "The Wire" for the first time. Or listening to pop or rap. Or chatting with native speakers.

We just have more exposure.
I think you are exactly right, and want to add a couple things ():

- It's easy to recognize scientific / technological revolutions in hindsight, but at the time they're anything but. I think most recognize the importance of persistence in the progenitor of an idea. What's often missed in these discussions is how important the subsequent incremental progress is: working out consequences of a theoretical insight, figuring out what you can build on top of a new tech, etc.

- I don't have a strong opinion about the optimal amount of "risk," but I do think making risk existential (as in one would starve without a research breakthrough) would have the opposite effect, because while we all say we like people to take risks, what we really mean is like people to take risks and suceeed. And yes, too little risk can breed complacency.

And yes, convolutions are a specific kind of linear transformation, whereas matrices represent linear transformations on vector spaces. The specific structure is that convolutions represent linear transformations that are translation-invariant, a property that many types of data (e.g., images) have, at least approximately.

1. That’s not what iconoclastic means. If you actually care about iconoclasm in Islam, the Saudi government has unfortunately destroyed almost 90% of Muslim holy sites without a word from other countries.

2. The Second Commandment Christians follow is “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain” and I can tell you a lot of Christians follow that.

3. You have it backwards. It’s not Muslims’ fear of the name of God, it’s Yahoo’s fear of literally just the Arabic word for “God.”
This sounds like a credible situation an engineer may come up with and implement without thinking through the reality of what they're doing.
> Morimoto receives words of gratitude from customers who state that "the act of doing nothing serves as support." However, he remains nonchalant about the praise, saying, "I'm not doing it for that purpose, so my only response is, 'Oh, really?'" He also doesn't want his work to be seen as an act of charity.
> "I'm not a friend or an acquaintance. I'm free of the bothersome things that accompany relationships, but can ease people's sense of loneliness. Maybe it's something like that for me," Morimoto told the Mainichi Shimbun.

People can derive support from Morimoto, but he doesn't intend to provide them that support. That lack of intention makes his service simple and allows people to get what they want from him.

How genuine.
GP is being humorous, and cracking a joke about consulting companies and their productivity.
I’m certain they existed; I just didn’t see any, in a month or so of very active trawling of Parler.

So, in my experience, Parler’s primary purpose was unlikely the planning of evil.

For body armor and certain kinds of weapons and attachments, one needs a Class III license. They are not available to the general public, as you wrote.

EDIT: I'm wrong on body armor. I could have sworn at least some of it was restricted and required a license.

Do you consider China to be a rising totalitarian world superpower? Strength against foreign manipulation (e.g., markets, trade, diplomacy) is a great reason for national unity.
> weed is not even close to the most purchased drug via the dark web

I can only agree on this.

Sure different parts of Germany differ in their handling of weed but I don't think anyone in Berlin bothers buying weeds from the dark web. I mean it's just way to easy to get weed from other sources, which don't require any online payment and by asking frequent weed consumers in your environment you have a better shot at getting good quality weed.

But while this is the case for weed it's much less so for other drugs, mainly due to the police being very lax on weed but less so on many other drugs.

Yes, that is exactly the argument that you obviously did make. Just like all the other extremely naive tools always do.

So what? PUSSY.
It is surprisingly solid, I have tested multiple Windows games on M1 MacBook Air through Crossover and the only one that had issues was Outer Wilds - its engine (Unity) uses geometry shaders for GPU skinning and Metal has no support for those.

They could be emulated using compute shaders, but MoltenVK does not do this at the moment. Animations work properly inside Windows VM through Parallels, so I guess this is what their proprietary driver does.

Apart from that I played Witcher 3, Sekiro and Dark Souls through CrossOver with no issues and very solid performance on basically the weakest ARM Mac that will ever exist.

But I of course agree that Linux is much better option for gaming.
Wine itself used to work fine on OSX, but dropping 32 bit support means a lot of programs stopped working.
This reminds me of professional mourning [1]. Throughout history there have been professionals that help families grieve in different ways. Hiring someone to wave goodbye when you move strikes me as a similar function. Both are offering emotional services during a time of transition, albeit in very different ways.

How is it that this is the case but Amazon and Twitter aren't facing antitrust action for teaming up against Parler? Amazon protects a huge account and the huge account takes down a competitor.
One annoying thing about being a generalist is that domain experts in any given area that you need familiarity with can't help but complain about how little you know about that domain, ignoring the fact that your job requires equally deep knowledge of several other domains simultaneously.

In the case of data scientists, I think the business folks that want them to understand the business domain better generally have the strongest argument, followed by the statisticians - good data scientists need to personally understand both of those things well, while the engineering and ops stuff that data scientists are also expected to do is easier to compartmentalize on other teams. So I agree that we should have more data engineers, but apparently for the opposite reason as most people in this thread.
Why is this being parroted in every thread? Do you realize the trend was not itself a threat but a discussion about Trump supporters at the capitol calling for the hanging? The words are alarming without that context—- which I believe is why Twitter had it removed—-but surely discussing and condemning someone else’s hateful expressions is not the same as expressing those things yourself.
