What I find funny is that something like Apple News that does have moderation in place (seasoned editors manually curating cross-sections of news sources)—you can actively read whatever Trump says there as his press releases will be widely covered by all forms of media from every corner of the political spectrum.

Not to say I think there's any ploy.

But I find it just a little funny that there seems to be a great deal of overlap of those who are decrying what they call censorship by online chat platforms—who they previously praised as the new alternative to "censorship" traditional media (who haven't "censored" anything).
If one is to go this road, one may consider the model of the boycott organizations structured by the NAACP---how they designed them, how they enforced them.

Practically, the hard power any such organization is going to have would start with their spending dollars (and possibly their signal... A lot of Google's "special sauce" is big data from big usage, and if usage goes down, software quality suffers). Google would (and does) listen to a significant percentage of their dollars-base saying "Change this or I'm taking my ads to Facebook and my infrastructure to AWS." They may perhaps listen to a significant percentage of their user-behavior-base saying "Change this or I'm using Bing," though it'd have to be a hell of a large organization to make a dent.
You don't need to setup the whole thing yourself, at DigitalOcean we launched the app platform so you can just connect your Github and one-click deploy your code base. You also have the rest of our services available so you can expand and add services, droplets, etc as and when needed.

Do you mean use JuiceFS as the place to store RDB or AOF? Yes, for backup. The fsync() is much slower than SSD(20ms vs 100us), so it may hurt performance.

Atlassian products are garbage for many reasons. But this is literally #1 for me. It's 100% unusable in a securified browser.
My current strategy is to never downvote (not counting the rare accidental misclicks that I don’t know about). Instead, I try to upvote other things that deserve to stand out.

Leaving something at 0 upvotes is still a signal, although it’s less distinguishable from “no one saw this”. This approach makes the decision of voting binary (to upvote or not) rather than one with 3 choices, which reduces mental overhead. It also allows me to focus on positivity and finding comments that provide value, and pay less attention to ones that don’t. In the end, I think there can be value in downvoting, but I personally just don’t feel that the benefits of doing so outweigh the costs.
What if it goes the opposite and Python takes a big step toward maturity?

Maybe Guido van Possum and Microsoft can solve the packaging and change/config issues.

That said, yeah. I don't know why people are screaming so hard about censorship when the simple truth is that this was an attempt to retroactively apply moderation to a community that had verifiably gotten out of control, at a moment where it was clear that many of these threats were real and not just rhetoric.
I think there's a big assumption that maintainer does the work to gain notoriety. Many of them (myself included) do it completely anonymously. Many others have a traceable identity but still they may be motivated by other things.

Define quality. For most people for most of human history, more calories == more quality. It still tastes better most of the time.

Then consider that people might not share your view of what quality is.
I feel like a lot of the companies are the same way though. I mean AirBnB pretty much only ever has had 1 product.
Yeah, health insurance is interesting over here. I've been fortunate and never had many problems with health insurance. Once or twice we got a surprise bill because a doctor deceptively ordered a test that our insurance wouldn't cover, and we had to pay the full cost (probably 1-2K). In one instance, we explained the issue to the company that produced the test and they comped it to us (and somehow the cost counted toward our deductible, which was really nice). Anyway, IIRC, there's legislation to make this kind of deceptive practice illegal (doctors can't refer you out of network or order tests without your explicit approval), but I might be misremembering.

None of the above is to make any sort of political point. I still want universal healthcare. Too many people aren't insured or are under insured and it's far too easy for hospitals and insurance companies to screw you and leave you with no recourse, especially if you're already vulnerable. There was a time when I was undecided on the issue, but it seems like every country that has universal healthcare really likes it even if some of them complain endlessly that their healthcare system is a financial black hole (e.g., my UK friends complaining about NHS always getting more money and yet the quality of care doesn't improve perceptively--although that was a pre-COVID sentiment).

I also know American friends who have flown to India to have lasik and paid full price for a reputable Indian doctor to perform it because all-in it was cheaper than paying for it domestically (it's possible that their insurance didn't cover lasik? I'm not really sure how that worked out).
How do they do when there's a branch on the trunk ?

I too was planning on applying to them in the next few days. But I will first find out who exactly is being cut out. This article says that its some support staff (I assume these are mainly non-technical people), but it does raise some concerns.

Alternatively, you could buy higher quality items instead of bulk-buying cheap throwaway clothing. If you have to buy your t-shirts in bulk, that sounds to be like they wear out way too fast.

Instead of buying cheap cotton shirts in bulk, try buying a few good merino wool t-shirts from a responsible manufacturer, locally produced under much better labor conditions. It will also impact the environment less, partly because cotton production uses ridiculous amounts of water and partly because you're not having products shipped to you from halfway around the globe.

A merino wool t-shirt will be more comfortable, last longer and be more resistant to dirt and odors, as well as regulate temperature much better. For normal day-to-day use, you can alternate between two shirts. Hang the shirt in the bathroom while you shower, then air it out in your bedroom for 24h. You'll find that it doesn't hold on to odors, because the wool isn't absorbent like cotton. Give it a quick shake and wear it for another day, letting the other shirt air out.

Carry on-only travelers swear by merino wool because it's generally lighter than cotton and because you can wear it for several days or even a week like this. If you're not squeamish, you can even do this same routine with underwear, too.

People are so obsessed with quantity now, perhaps because it's an easily measured property. Try going for quality instead :-)
There really are so many trash self-help internet communities in the wild. These algorithms are amazing at placing people that share an interest in re-experiencing their buried childhood insecurities together and hire the most active commiserators to build their community.

It definitely doesn't seem like the communities that actually help each other gain a sense of security required to pause and self-reflect and unpack their issues get very popular because the click-optimizing algorithms don't give them a chance.
You could just communicate with words, like an adult though?
Thanks for verifying that.

And yes - I was attacking the idea that we should write our angry/scolding/righteous response before we even get the basic situation correctly. If you are right now, you will be right in 15 seconds or one question down the line. But you may not be.

Trump may be the craziest motherfucker there is (although from a far he is just a hapless president that couldn't or wouldn't do anything people were assuming he was willing to do), but the cyberpunkeque reality we are sliding into is crazier. And we all push. Because we all get our little fix of being on the right side of history (or least of the more vocal mob). We the culture warriors are zealots. And it will get a lot worse, before it gets better.

In my opinion, there needs to be more emphasis placed on users who live in states such as Florida where there aren't as many government subsidies for rooftop solar as there are in other states such as New Jersey. This will help change the minds of people who think that rooftop solar is only viable due to massive government subsidies.
If there was a WRT54G version with Gigabit ethernet, it would be my daily driver today. Having a 100mbit/sec switch is the only reason why my WRT54G is sitting in the shelve without any work. I only use it for tinkering one day or the other.
Huge fan of Svelte!

I'll take the time to plug my side-project here: https://www.listenaddict.com/

Built with Sapper (Svelte) and Tailwind on the frontend, and Rails API as the backend. Total frontend load is less than 95kb (transferred, uncached).

I've been incredibly pleased. I've done a lot of AngularJS and React, and a fair bit of Vue and a little bit of Angular, and compared to those, it's been fantastic. Sure, the ecosystem is missing some things here and there, but all the built-in things more than make up for it. The documentation is incredibly simple to go through, and you can read everything in half a day (plus do the tutorial).

For future projects, I don't expect to or have a reason to go back to React (or Vue or...) unless something huge happens.

Nothing Jason from WireGuard wrote invalidates anything that the original blogger wrote. The Mac App sucks and Jason merely explained why. In other words, both Jason and Rachel are correct.
Good lord.

You know, a lot of downvotes are rooted in "You and I come from vastly different backgrounds and will probably never see eye to eye" and it's a giant, giant, humongous, painful can of worms to dig around in that. A downvote (or ten) is the least painful way to let very different people "say" things like "Wow. I think you are stupid because I'm a racist/misogynist/classist asshole and the way you said it tells me you are the wrong color/a woman/poor." or "I'm from a different country or culture or religion and, good, god, there is so much baked in implicit assumptions that it would take weeks, months or years to sort out why we don't agree."

I mean, if you participate regularly and remain civil, some of that may get sorted over time. But it's not going to get sorted today because you submitted the downvote equivalent of a "bug report."

Downvotes are annoying. And they are often kind of like that saying about democracy: "the worst thing ever....except for all the other options."

(Edit: I wish there were a word that meant simultaneously misogynist and/or misandrist. I don't mean to suggest it's just "men hating on women." (if only because plenty of women hate on other women) I just have been up all night and I'm failing to find the elegant way to say that in a more gender neutral or even-handed way. Sorry 'bout that.)
From the Drawbridge link of the article:

> Drawbridge is a research prototype of a new form of virtualization for application sandboxing. Drawbridge combines two core technologies: First, a picoprocess, which is a process-based isolation container with a minimal kernel API surface. Second, a library OS, which is a version of Windows enlightened to run efficiently within a picoprocess.

So does this mean that the 'library OS' translates WinAPI to Linux?
Hi HN community, maintainer here (http://github.com/aeneasr)!

I started the project Ory Hydra back in 2015 as a side project, and it has now become a full time job with a dedicated team! Ory Hydra is used at a lot of companies and we have since started with some other projects such as ORY Kratos (https://github.com/ory/kratos).

If you have any questions regarding Hydra, Ory, Golang, or open source - I am more than happy to answer!

edit:// Signing off - if you have any questions for maintainers feel free to check out the ory slack channel or ask on the GitHub discussions board!

With Comcast's new policy to raise rates for heavy internet users, I'd like to understand my family's usage patterns better. Does anyone have experience with appliances like Firewalla as a monitoring solution? Monitoring, security, and centralized ad control are all appealing.
It would be interesting to take bets on the solution :)
Garry Kasparov: What Happens Next?
Well, if you join a team you join whatever they're using. Which may not even be C. If you want control, you have to lead the team in the company or run your own company. That's part of being a "company man". You forfeit control over the kinds of things you work on and many decisions about what and how they're made unless you have the right ear or the right level of authority.

And yet Apple, Microsoft, SAP and Facebook have offices in Paris.

What's up with that then?

This shows that even giant US and German companies can work with French labor laws just fine otherwise they wouldn't be there.

So, to me, this whole current push in the west to drive down labor laws in the sake of "staying competitive" is just a big globalization scam on the working class and a backtrack of all the quality of life progress made from years of struggle by previous generations.

Good for France for not giving in!

Zoom didn't gain traction by being a pioneer in video conferencing, they gained traction by offering a far superior and easier experience, I agree some dark patterns are leveraged for that experience but at the end of the day a zoom meeting is easier to start and is of a higher quality than what Microsoft and Google have offered for years and especially in Google's case seemed to consider a solved problem.
I like the idea, but the title feels aggressive. I'm no psychometrist, but when people feel like they are being attacked, they don't respond in a positive way.

Downvotes may be feedback, but they don't feel like it.
For me it was the lack of storage tiers. When the only options is to get 1TB or more, I think you lost a lot of users. Additionally, they should have figured out a way to share storage with a family, if the only profitable storage tiers are 1TB or more then let people share it.
This is true. It is still a massive problem space but my point is that you don't need to consider every possible game or state.

I'm barely active on StackOverflow anymore, because posters show less and less effort. I'm somewhat of a senior WordPress developer and eager to help, but the sheer amount of absolute basic stuff, without any effort made by the poster, just kills it for me.

And it's not even the "can you recommend a plugin"-questions, but those which show that somebody has been given a task (or took it by themselves) without knowing anything at all. It's like getting into a car and then asking what that round thing right in front of you is for.

I just downvote and flag those questions. I think nobody should answer those questions at all and we have to discourage behaviour where people, without any knowlede and effort, try to collect breadcrumbs to (somehow) reach a goal without even trying to understand the bigger picture.

edit: Why the bigger picture is important? Because we are talking about systems that are, in most cases, facing the internet. And the internet is a hostile place where attacks against your systems are starting right after setting them up.

It's ultimately important to know what you are doing and what the consequences are (or could be) when you start tinkering with theme files, "how WooCommerce works" and whatnot. That's especially true for shop systems which contain private data of customers but it's also important for any page that could be misused to send spam, distribute malware and whatnot.
I agree with you - it rewards attention seeking behavior and short attention spans.

That said I understand the term of good quality - in that it isn't vitriolic political messaging, conspiracy theories etc. It's mostly devoid of any true meaning - more like entertaining, sometimes hilarious content. I wouldn't say it's enlightening or provides much educational value. As I said early it also probably reinforces short attention span, attention seeking dopamine feed back loops... likely long term damage to brain development.

Just my opinion, no facts here.
There's also the SoylentNews approach, based on the Slashdot approach. Positive scores are capped at +5, negative scores are capped at -1 (iirc), a reason must always be selected for a positive vote (e.g. Insightful) or a negative vote (e.g. Flamebait), and you also have the option of neutral votes (+0 Agree and -0 Disagree).
To me this description sounds like a specialist high performance computing company rather than a consumer technology company. That may be a perfectly reasonable market to be in, but is that type of company worth $200bn? I'm not sure.

Roughly 40% of their revenue is consumer chips where, apart from some games optimisation, they are no longer standing out from the crowd, and the leader is arguably Apple, with AMD doing well. The next ~30% of their business is servers, where there may be a significant number of HPC clients, but the bulk of this is again likely to be VMs running non-Intel specific software, and this market is starting to realise that Intel is nothing special here.

Looking at their revenue breakdown, I struggle to put more than 20% into the things that you mention they are great at. Should they focus on this? It would lose them much of their market cap if they did.
Your proposal sounds similar to the flagging mechanism on many online forums, where the person who flags the comment is asked to specify a reason so it can be triaged by a moderator.

In the case of downvoting, it doesn't rise to the level of needing to be triaged by a mod, but I suppose you could argue that by giving the commenter a signal about why you downvoted, you're allowing them to self-triage (e.g. update the post to address the issue, or at least try to do better next time).

Being able to choose from a short list of predefined downvote reasons -- even if it were between "This breaks forum rules" versus "I simply disagree" -- would be useful.
All children are different and all children learn differently. Schools have a mandate to educate all children. Teachers instinctively make small (or large) changes to work will the children in their classes. Good teachers are good at this, not so good teachers are not so good at it. But at least it is happening.

In observing online educational things for my kids, I have noticed that this doesn’t happen at all. We supplement with multiple services, and each of my kids gets something different out of each of them. No single service would work for even one of my kids, let alone all of them.

If you want a new remote education system, you have to have one that is flexible and adjusts to each student. Not the other way around. I don’t see anyone willing to do that. It’s hard.
