Amazon's problem is not that Parler had threats, but rather that they did nothing to prevent or remove them.

Twitter has a huge team to work on that and removes them when they see them.

> Downvote me to hell, but study history of other socialist / Marxist take overs; you will see the same pattern.

You're right, a lot of socialist revolutions do start with people storming a capitol building and trying to murder government officials.
My point was that I could be flagged as a gambler even though I've never used pokies, I wasn't talking about alcohol consumption.

In other words I'm worried about a rating being decided by an obscure algorithm that no one can vet.

> A server is just a useless chunk of plastic, metal, and silicon if you don’t have an ISP willing to give you an IP and route traffic to you.

Hence, the argument for net neutrality.

> And without a domain name, you’re only accessible to technical users

Hence, why DNS service, like ISPs under net neutrality, should have utility-like neutrality regulations.
There's nothing stopping Google from silently pushing a keylogger to your phone and recording every single thing you do. They don't need to hijack Signal or anything else for that. By using your phone you are implicitly trusting Google, the manufacturer and several other parties.
You can't run unsigned kernel drivers unless you boot the operating system in test mode, right?
If you just want something to share files with your wife, I created an open source project that does exactly that: https://github.com/chrishulbert/flare/

Of course it's not as easy to set up as Dropbox, I originally had grand dreams of somehow turning this into a startup back when there were a lot of people upset that Dropbox was using an invasive kernel driver (IIRC), but I never found the time.
A lot of folks here are calling out the lower pay for SWEs in Europe and Canada as a failure - but also praise the low wealth inequality and low income inequality in Europe and Canada.

You can't have low inequality by definition if you decide to start paying one group a ton of money.

Well, this is a lot like the housing conversation in the US. "I want my house to go up in value, and be a great investment!" Also: "Why can't I afford a house?"

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

It's not necessarily a failure, it's just a different place to draw the line on social contract. While individual contributors earn less the social safety net also makes it much easier to found and grow a business without the threat of death and guarantees a peaceable minimum standard of living. It's also worth pointing out that salary, especially at high seniority levels, becomes a smaller and smaller part of total compensation.

Dude, please find a therapist. See if your employer works with any mental health providers and if not, try finding one on https://www.psychologytoday.com/ . Yes it's expensive and time consuming, but this is the most important step you can take to better your life. Please do this, work is a band aid you are using to distract yourself from serious issues. They will catch up eventually.
Since JuiceFS written in Go, GO SDK will be the first, then we can have other languages using CGO. We already have Java SDK internally, Python will be the next.

But the way, A S3 gateway is on our roadmap, you can spin up an S3 gateway for JuiceFS, and talk to that using existing S3 SDK. This only make sense when you have other applications outside of Lambda using JuiceFS.
Didn't notice the article author encourages people to e-mail him, right from the blog page. :)
Hey! Cofounder Eric here. I 100% agree. We will get some info about us on our site in a bit.

For now, here's some quick info about us. We're just two hackers living in San Francisco.

Kyle's quitting his job at Cruise Automation in a few days (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylejohnmorris/).

I've never had an actual job before haha. I've just been messing around building stuff (https://www.linkedin.com/in/automationist/)

Did you build Beaker Browser? Would love to get connected.
So here's the scheme (or scam depending on your point of view):

1. Tether exchanges BTC for USDT

2. Tether prevents people from exchanging USDT for USD

3. Tether immediately sells their newly gained BTC for USD

4. Ideally Tether would back USDT with a 1:1 in assets in USD.

Point #4 is under debate. But since #2 exists it's unclear that even if #4 is true, Tether would stop a run on USDT.

What it really looks like is that Tether figured out a way to extract capital out of the crypto market by buying assets and replacing them with worthless IOU's. Meanwhile the founders have walked out the back door with suitcases of cash.
Trumpists seem to have a real victim mentality: there is always a conspiracy against them, they're always a minority even when they are a majority, they're the underdog even with the President and Senate and Scotus.

AWS can't possibly just not want to do business with Parler. They can't just be worried about their own brand. They can't just be covering their legal arses. No, there must be a conspiracy with twitter (one of the most wild-west places left), despite having no real business connection between the two!?
With Intel's cashflow, they can do both without any difficulty. But yes, they should be the american TSMC.
I discovered Games People Play in 2017, and found it to be a fascinating exploration of how people communicate. I still refer to it.

I don't have much info on this, but I brought it up to my mom who mentioned that the book had a period of popularity before my time, but had apparently been debunked as too rudimentary. I'm convinced that the framework is still relevant despite that, although I typically trust my mom's intuition on people's behind the scenes incentives -- she's proven to have theories about people that take months to play out but end up playing out.
Windows developers develop for Windows on Windows, including kernel developers. The guardrails are lowerable - you can disable SmartScreen, Protected Boot, even Kernel Driver Signing Verification. Nothing prevents you from making your system as insecure as you'd like
Durov wrote his thoughts on monetization lately here: https://t.me/durov/142
Don't forget Keller's contributions there. It was a much smaller operation so it was easier for a couple of people to change it. Intel, on the other hand, is a supertanker that's going to be very difficult to turn around in time.

The fact that the congo is listed means that they're including the literal chattel slavery that's common in the mineral extraction process there.
Defining “better” isn’t easy, but “more valuable” is a falsifiable measure. I hate Facebook and Google but they do provide a lot of value to their customers (advertisers)
I’m unaware of any big companies that do less then two weeks a year of vacation for their salaried employees. There might be some, but it is uncommon.

Across all workers in the U.S., the average after 5 years is 15 vacation days, with 8-10 additional holidays and a more variable amount of sick leave (https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2018/mobile/private-industry-wo...)

Now Americans are notoriously bad about actually taking all our vacation in a year, but the limited data I see suggests that we still on average take more than 2 weeks a year.

Edit- grammar
“Open” is not the only problem.

I tried prioritizing “open.” I had a customized firmware on a fully open-source (even open-source WiFi firmware) Atheros-based router. And “open” turned out to mean, “enough rope to hang yourself.” I didn’t dare update that thing for years because I installed it in an inconvenient location and I couldn’t trust that it would continue to work if I installed upstream updates.

Now I emphasize update automation. The closed firmwares of ISP routers are not great, but the ISPs take charge of maintaining them. I don’t recommend plain OpenWRT to non-technical users because it doesn’t auto-update.

Maybe a Turris router, because they have the CZ.NIC people in charge of updates. Even there, the transition from Turris OS 3 to Turris OS 5 has been disruptive because of the upgrade from OpenWRT 15 to OpenWRT 19 and its migrations to Device Tree and Distributed Switch Architecture. At least CZ.NIC is still updating the Turris OS 3 packages.
"all-powerful and ever-the-victim" is an authoritarian tale as old as time
I believe that knowledge management tied to a development platform is a bad idea. Development isn't the only thing I do in computers and knowledge management should be able to store stuff from all other activities (including cooking recipes or reading notes to read on a mobile phone).

I don't love tiddlywiki but haven't found a better alternative yet. I'd love something easy to configure but powerful like the wiki and bug tracker on the Fossil SCM, but not tied to a specific platform. Also, Markdown/text/html because no vendor should own my thoughts. Obsidian[3] and Notion are in my "to check" list.

> What’s the point of arguing if companies are able to limit free speech in theory when they just did so in practice?

Whether what they actually did is “limiting free speech” or not is, in fact, part of what is in dispute.

Obviously, if one grants the argument that that accurately describes the events that occurred, it becomes indefensible to argue that it is not within the power of corporations to do it. But that is very much not a point of consensus.
Correct. It's advisable to do it on a VM or another computer you own, rather than your main computer.
Agreed, we can have both.
Few Achievable New Year`s Resolutions for Healthier and Happier Living
After reading the comments and the blog post, I think that the requirements boils down to fast persistence to disk, minimum dependencies and fast test-runs. Fortunately the data is very small 150MB and it fits very easily in memory.
According to the post the data changes often so they need to write the data many times in a second. But I'm not sure why do they need to flush every time the entire 150MB ? Why not structure the files/indexes such that we write only the modified data ?

Sweet! And yeah, I basically "listen later" most of my articles now too
As a game dev myself I truly sympathise with the devs and the situation they found themselves in. I've been down to the wire with bug fixes and had to balance the remaining bugs vs potentially missing our ship dates that would mean breaking contracts with major retailers and other partners.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a technical marvel and on high end hardware the loading times are stunning - something I aim to push for with future titles I work on. With so much data being loaded and unloaded, bandwidth limited hardware was always going to struggle, and generational leaps in hardware are always hard to navigate even if you aren't on the bleeding edge.

I've been having a lot of fun with the game on PC and I've hit relatively few bugs. I believe a lot of the bugs people are seeing may be streaming perf related. Delayed physics lod loading could cause results like objects being catapulted around as seen in videos.

I was also pleasantly surprised to find out one of the more interesting side characters is transgender, and this is communicated very respectfully as you get to know them through their side quests. Some of the marketing material was quite tasteless so I'm glad to see this inclusion, as some other characters you encounter in the game did not come across well.
This recalls me of a code I wrote: https://github.com/clamiax/sw

It may be worth to dive deep into Ledger concepts.
This is a really good article.

Lots of pieces about neural network design skip over the design of the representation in the input stage, which is one of the key design issues when building a custom neural network.

I love how much depth this articles goes into about that representation.
My reading was that they were saying the documentation would end in utter chaos, not the project as a whole.
This one works 14 years without issue.

Except that 2 times was crashed and then start with blank settings.
I have one, though I work in finance (in London). I’ve heard the same for finance / trading companies elsewhere (e.g. Slovenia). Not sure about pure software companies though...
Doesn't Scala beat Clojure in industry? That would be my experience and it has higher number of jobs on Who's Hiring. My ranking for adoption goes: Scala > F# > Elixir > Clojure > Haskell > OCaml. F# doesn't make much of a showing on Who's Hiring but I think it has stronger adoption in industry than Clojure.
Technically yes, but no issuer will provide long expiry certificates anymore [1]. They won't be recognised by major browsers even if they do anyway.

Some still sell 2 or 3 year certificates but that's a marketing ploy. You pay the price for the next 3 years in advance but you still have to renew it every year.

Ask HN: Tips for staying motivated when pursuing a different path in life
I went back to a community college for CS at 25 and consistently regret not getting into it earlier and having a solid life plan and focus/discipline etc. Having said that, the courses are great but aren't enough so I've definitely had to self-learn as if I didn't go to the school in the first-place so its been both good and bad and at times frustrating.

What are some tips for staying motivated when dealing with depression/regret and has anyone had success seeking out a mentor?
The world is not divided into collusion and coincidence.

If I’m standing near someone and a bomb goes off on one side of us and we both run away in the same direction, there is no coordination, collusion, or common endeavor needed to motivate that similar action.

It’s also not at all “coincidence”.
London is hugely expensive, so tech salaries should be higher there to attract workers.

Also, finance generally pays better than other industries (although banking in Netherlands pays typically low-average); but trading and investment companies pay above average.
Only in America.
JuiceFS access objects in S3 using an unique id to generate key, so the result of lifecycle will not change the way JuiceFS accessing it, except the StorageClass Glacier or Deep Arching, which is not accessible instantly, will hurt the user experience for JuiceFS.
Sure, but this is in the context of wanting to run kernel code to cheat in a video game (which is what that forum post is about)
Agreed. This article was very off putting to me. And felt like someone complaining about something without taking the time to learn the something first. Probably because that’s what it was.

> I feel as though this operator could be a detriment, or at least come with some prickily moral hazards

I don’t care about how you “feel” about elixir, or how it “could” be. Take the time to learn it, then speak to what it _is_.
True, but Apple has been the harbinger for a LARGE number of advances in consumer computing adoption. Mouse/windows desktop interface? Apple. Font libraries? Apple. USB? Apple. Touch interfaces? Apple. Modern smartphone? Apple.

The list goes on and on. M1 could be such a harbinger. Who knows if anyone else can compete, and likely Apple will be in the pole position for some time, but Apple has shown everyone it can be done.
> You often don’t subscribe by credit card but by bank account (you authorize them to pull money from your account)

It's a good thing actually, reverting a SEPA debit takes two clicks. But indeed, cancelling payments is definitely not a way to get out of a contract.
They have become safer by adapting ... and by having the most vulnerable filtered out by earlier waves.
Hehe, same. Along the same lines - I don't care how fast my toaster makes toast because I need a machine that does way more. Unfortunately, this loud minority of people living in toaster bubble land won't stop going on and on about their limited-purpose devices.

Glad to know that my preferred desktop setup can still serve me faster than they can make toast though!
A New Deep Learning Course
This is all still a special pleading that people are entitled to an audience of millions, rather then what they actually have a right to which is speech in public spaces protected from censure by the government. Not from private individuals.

I'm more then happy for us to decide that some parts of the internet should be public spaces, paid for out of general revenue and provided for the common good by the government. Internet access should be a basic human right.

But frankly, once you have IP-packet routing functionality, that's as much as I think you should be offered. No one else has any obligation to associate with you.
My primary prediction is that the main US platforms will fall behind homegrown alternatives in India over the next 1-2 decades, >80% likelihood.
I suspect an NVIDIA Jetson would be a better choice for this kind of application.
I think that must be in units, not dollars. Qualcomm chipsets are nearly universal on the higher end.
yes, that's a very recent change (afaict, the big change was going from SATA interface to NVME).

Then I must have misremembered something. Thanks for the correction!
So operations-wise, applications would still require workarounds to be resilient to failure in production. From what I recall, all network filesystems have this problem, so I avoid them all.

The essential problem is trying to do something with an interface that it wasn't designed for. It's the same problem network protocols have. They can't communicate metadata about each layer across the layers, so your HTTP protocol has no idea that it's actually being tunneled in another HTTP protocol and that that protocol's TCP connection just got a PSH,FIN,RST packet. Your file i/o app also has no idea that you just lost a quorum, or that one section of the network just crapped out (and even if it did know, what would it do?)

It’s definitely possible to have non-competes in some cases in germany, but they come with a catch: the employer needs to pay the employee the (usually full) salary for the entire period, potentially reduced by any income from a job. And it needs to be negotiated in the work contract and cannot be unilaterally enforced after the fact.

So generally speaking, they’re only worthwhile for people that have important company secrets.
A post being flagged does not prove your point nor does it prove anything at all beyond one admin agreeing with you.

It shuts up the discussion and moves it elsewhere, helping further the bias between the two political groups, one of which clearly rejecting any discussion with the other and increases extremism online and in society by proxy.

Shushing up anyone who disagrees with you and ignoring logic will only lead to bad results on the long term, and not only for those one disagrees with.

The Capitol events only prove that. Seventy five million people have no place to express their opinions about the person they chose to elect. What was everyone expecting?

"nothing happened, he most likely forgot about it". Are you serious? It was the Ayatollah who posted that. What's the difference then between that and Trump's tweets?

Go ahead and make this discussion over too. We're living in such strange and sad times for freedom of expression.
If they could compete with American companies to get better developers they could build move valuable companies.
Cool this is great information.

There are plenty of cases in the world where security trumps cost by a massive, massive amount. Not sure why you're talking about personal cloud computing, probably not interesting there.

How many licenses have you sold for this? How secure is it? Got any kind of metrics to share there?

In the past every single time I've probed claims about QNX (claims not made by QNX themselves at all, I hasten to add) as the example of delivering on the promise of microkernel OSes they have turned out to be unsubstantiated.

Needless to say if, you can substantiate them that would be utterly fantastic! Also a massive, massive marketing opportunity I would have thought. Link us up!
Yes. But if you specifically are targeted by organisations capable of issuing NSLs, you're completely hosed already. (And they're just as likely, if not more so, to have done that to your OS instead of just the Signal app.)

Pre Brexit, there was > 500 million people in the EU with free movement between member states, most tech companies still sourced a substantial number of their employees from outside the EU - some even had majority non EU tech employees.

The only jobs filled by locals were those which had artificial cap on employee numbers and local regulations(accountants/legal)

Whilst some of these engineers were A+ level brilliant, most were mediocre and doing jobs that could easily be done by local talent.

The benefits for companies doing this? - immigration visa tied to job and ability to lowball salary (as residence in host country was itself a major plus) thus ensuring salaries rose way slower than demand would otherwise have made them.

The one off cost of Visa is nothing compared to the money those companies saved.
Why not work on something else that makes you happy? Pick up a new skill to exercise a different part of your body or brain? Take time to take care of yourself, cook a nice meal, meditate, call your parents. Build relationships, repair old ones you may have neglected. Very few people wish that they worked more when they get older.
I know that there is use for it ("any space will be filled"). A buddy of mine has two teenage boys -- 'nough said. I just don't see that as explaining the market for 100Mbps+ connections to the home and such routers.

Your use case reminds me of the (mystical?) fellow who allegedly complained that his new graphics card didn't allow him to play his favorite 3D FPS game and watch a movie simultaneously.

I particularly like the accusation that it is discrimination that they didn't ban Twitter from AWS, despite Twitter not using AWS. Very confused.
If you went a bit colder you could use superfluid helium and laser cut microchannels through the whole die. You would need to cool it to 2K and every degree at that temp is a fight but once past the transition point it becomes a remarkable thermal conductor and loses all viscosity. It seeps through tiny pores in porcelain like it's a sponge.
Maybe more like Apple in the 90s?
