That’s exactly my point. Put DDG into your original post. It refutes your own argument which was based solely on how google is an ads company and Apple is a hardware company.
I believe they have an option so you can peer your VPC to their hosted offering's VPC, so logs from within your VPC don't have the typical expensive AWS internet egress/ingress costs.

I'm building a tool to take Instagram posts, parse the descriptions, and spit out a calendar.

I don't like browsing Instagram but a lot of events I'm interested in are only posted there. Instagram is very ephemeral, and because of the way the feed works it's very easy to miss posts if you don't browse constantly.

It works fairly well already though it still has a few false positives. It works on simple rules because machine learning would be too laborious to train. Still, I use it regularly and it's very handy to see what's happening around town.
Wasn’t there just a SCOTUS case where they actually stopped the federal government from doing something because it would violate an old treaty? If so, it seems like the government’s ability to do whatever it wants in this area might get clipped.
> These days even drunk young guys seem to be content with hurling a few insults.

I think there is a strong cultural influence for that. I'm from Spain and in my country drunk fighting is something that mostly British and German tourist do. We don't understand why, we may get super drunk and have super heated arguments, but it's quite uncommon we will get to a physical fight. But in the areas around the Mediterranean Sea full of tourists, fights are a daily occurrence.
I run a community hackerspace in Fresno, CA called Root Access.

https://rootaccess.org/

My main focus this year has been – and continues to be – working ways to ensure the space survives the pandemic.

We started making PPE earlier in the pandemic, which resulted in a lot of donations from the community. This came in clutch, and helped us build awareness of the space locally.

https://rootaccess.org/covid-19/

We also have another grant-funded project, in collaboration with several other non-profits, to build a network of low-cost air quality monitors in disadvantaged communities across the San Joaquin Valley.

https://www.sjvair.com/

We were hoping to use the funds from SJVAir to build up the space, get some new equipment, and run some cool events, but so far it's all gone to paying rent on a building we haven't been able to use since March.

Fascinating human being.
Is the process of making batteries easy to move to low cost countries? I’d wager it’s in Korea because of their amazingly developed electronics industry, but it’s also true that the average American makes more. If it’s easy to move to low wage countries, there are countries in Europe with lower wages, and surely American states as well.
I don't think that argument applies here because HN is not a general-purpose discussion site. It has a specific mandate which explicitly doesn't cover everything [1], and that's the most important fact about it. Plenty of things are off-topic here, and that's not "robbing the human race" any more than, say, not letting people walk their dogs in the library.

To argue otherwise is basically to say that all sites have to be the same. That can't be right. I think there's a place for a website (at least one?) dedicated to intellectual curiosity. We can't have both that and uninhibited political battle, so if HN is to exist at all, it needs a moderation strategy similar to the one I've outlined at the links above.

If anybody has a better idea, I'd love to know what it is, but please make sure you've familiarized yourself with those past explanations first. If it's something simple like "just ban politics" or "just allow everything", I've already explained many times why it won't work.

(Edit): If we had the ability to tag posts, and then ignore categories like politics, this might help. While American politics is generally fascinating (whichever side you happen to end up on), everyone likely already has their own means to get this. Some find it divisive and exhausting.
I think you or your friend might be conflating malleability, which was a UX issue in 2013 that caused people to be confused about whether a tx was confirmed or not, with the disabling of a handful of script opcodes in 2010 for security reasons (they had buggy implementations and were the cause of a severe vulnerability).

Edit for detail: In 2010 the "worst bug in bitcoin's history" was discovered, which let anybody spend ANY output on the chain, due to an obscure feature of the bitcoin scripting system allowing the signature script to simply "return true" before the actual script is executed. This was when OP_RETURN's semantics were changed to unconditionally fail the script if ever encountered rather than the short-circuiting behavior implied by its name and present in early versions. A quick emergency audit was simultaneously done and ALL opcodes that were unused at the time and moderately complex to review were "disabled" as a precaution.

It's not clear that the developers understood at the time that they would not be able to re-enable those opcodes for existing scripts without a hard-fork. The distinguishing between soft-forks and hard-forks were still being worked out back then. So large parts of script were in fact removed, but it was done as part of an emergency bug-fix and the permanent disabling may not have even been intentional.

The disabled opcodes weren't really that important to smart contracts though, at least not without additional primitives that bitcoin never had. There are various proposals to add these features in to segwit script or the upcoming taproot extension.
I have two recreational programming projects active now.

The first is a deterministic password generator [1] which is designed to be easy to use and manage. I've been using it myself for a couple months and have a couple UX improvements in my head that need to be done before I'd recommend it to anyone else.
[1] https://bitbucket.org/nealtucker/whose/

The second is an infrastructure project which my brother and I are building as an opportunity for him to learn about automated infrastructure and security. Terraform starts by instantiating an automated private CA for the purpose of securely issuing certificates to all instances, and then all other instances come up with an agent that generates keys and calls the CA (along with a signed auth blob provided by the terraform run) to obtain certs. Nomad server also comes up, using the same certs, and controls all the other nodes. All communication is MTLS from the start and I'm in the process of adding ssh hostkey signing to the CA so at the same time the instances get certs, they get their hostkeys signed so we don't have to TOFU the ssh hostkeys. We have no idea what we'll do with it, but it's fun to build and teaching both of us a lot.
Im not sure why citizens of representative democracies would want to inhibit political discussion. Presumably one of the benefits of living in such a regime is the ability to participate in policy formulation through voting, political campaigns and various forms of public service. As a result, would it not be reasonable to assume that most of these individuals are very knowledgeable about a variety of aspects of public policy? Therefore the majority of political discussion would be rigorous, fact based and consider a wide variety of points of view.

Analogously it would seem that citizens of dictatorship-based regimes don’t have to worry about these details (hopefully the dictator and their lieutenants have taken care of everything) and can focus on enjoying their lives.
I think they meant more system technical risk than financial. as in, a change to prevent bypassing private key checks, or minting quadrillions of BTC / ETH beyond the issuance schedule.

> How true is this, in practice? I hear software folks say this sort of thing somewhat frequently, but I haven't heard it from a _legal_ person.

As a business person, I'd prefer to avoid the legal expense and risk to find out the hard way later on. Who knows who'll manage ElasticCo 5 years down the line and whether their motivation may be to milk their IP through litigation. Do you really want to be the guinea pig? The smart business move would be to either license explicitly OR stick to the Apache 2.0 version and plan a migration off ElasticSearch
Hi! Thank you for this feedback. I totally missed it.

> I definitely wouldn't buy one based on the two sentence description and the short video you have on the product page

Quite right. We've done all our advertising so far through Instagram, which is a much more visual medium.

> 1. Is the app required for setup or can I just plug it in?

You can just plug it in. It'll cycle through its patterns

> 2. Do I need the app to change modes, or are there any buttons on on the light? Does it even have an on/off button or does it need to be unplugged or turned off with the app?

There's one button at the back that does both! Holding it down changes the brightness, and pressing it once changes the pattern.

> 3. Does it stand by itself? How thick is it? Can I hang or lean it on the wall? Or is it thick in the middle and I need to hide it in a corner like in your video?

It stands by itself, and it has a hook on the back. Both look quite nice, but hiding the cable is a little tricky on the wall. I need to figure out white cables.

> 4. The front looks clean and simple, but what does the side and back even look like?

It's a "shadow box". The sides are white, the same as you can see on the front. The back is a piece of hardboard with the controller mounted to it.

> 5. Can I have it display a solid white light if I'm reading and don't want all the changing colors? (I'm assuming the answer is "Yes" now that I viewed the editor tutorial)

Actually yes, the app has a mode where you can set a colour with a colour picker. It makes a surprisingly good reading light.

> 6. How bright is it? Like a typical monitor?

It's brighter than that. It's very bright and eye-catching. Most people run it at about 50% battery.

> I can't find answers to these questions, any contact information to get those answers, or any photos of the light. I can't possibly buy it. On a side note...

The website is much more of a placeholder. We have found that advertising on Instagram is much more effective! We've mostly sold these lights to Instagram fans and friends of friends. Which works great for the quantity we're producing. I wouldn't want to sell too many too quickly and have to support them. It's still a work in progress.

> 1. The editor looks really cool. I'm surprised this isn't showcased on the site anywhere, or any examples from the gallery. Once I viewed the editor and some examples, I realized what is actually possible.

Thank you! It's very powerful. There is actually a demo on the homepage, but it's only visible on medium-to-large displays because of the way it renders.

You know what, I see what happened here. You've hit our Store homepage instead of the main website homepage. https://www.soulmatelights.com/ has much more info for you. I need to do a better job of linking them!
Nah that would put incumbents at a disadvantage against their competition.

And, forcing them to use more official accounts like @POTUS might give existing office-holders undue advantage.

I think drawing the line at inciting violence is proper. We do need more competition at the platform level and I think this comes when we establish a competitive environment among ISPs and content conglomerates by reinstating net neutrality and discouraging regional broadband monopolies.

What I found interesting is that while he does pronounce more things than a typical Parisian would today, he does skip some e's, in a very typical Parisian manner.
Really? For just that reason? I live and work full time in China and we use G Suite and Slack with a good VPN (there are some similar Chinese services but none are nearly as good).

Sometimes I can’t watch a YouTube link if I’m away from home and the VPN isn’t working on 4G, but that’s as bad as it ever gets these days.
No product can solve the problem of self-discipline. The problems you're describing are an aspect of human nature. At some point, users will become particularly busy with something for days or weeks. After which they will dread seeing an app full of missed reminders and unread items, and they'll avoid it like the plague.

If you come up with a good enough solution, people will use it and you could be quite successful. But the day will always come when you have to declare Productivity App Bankruptcy

The extension also shows you a random but helpful prompt to reflect on the nature of consumerism and happiness. Maybe it won't help everyone, but I hope that it reaches some.
Also not an expert, but it seems to exist in culture overall. You can see reflection in movies, (where it's not the main topic) for example in "Tokyo Family" (2013) you'll see that when his wife dies, an older, physically capable man starts getting his cooked meals provided by neighbours like it's obvious that happens now.

I don’t think “LARPers escaped into reality” is a good metaphor, because LARPers know they’re playing a game.

The QAnon crowd unquestionably has a lot of members who genuinely believe this stuff. Generally LARPers don’t play act their way into hundreds of federal felonies, nor do LARPers vote along LARP lines.

Also, those guns and bombs are sure real.

An web-based video creation tool where you can create short animated videos. Similar to Kapwing but focused on videos and with more animations and effects.

Still far from complete but it's been used for a couple of notable product hunt launch videos already such as bufferi.ng. And for a couple of blog posts of Supabase.

Not profitable or anything at the moment and looking at various niches where to take the product, could e.g. be used to automate news highlight videos from news articles (similar to the Onions instagram stories).

At any given time I'm working on all sorts of stuff, but most of my focus these days in on AI, and more specifically thinking about AGI. For a while I was doing a lot of work with automated abductive reasoning, specifically using Parsimonious Covering Theory. And I still think abduction is something important to incorporate, but recently I've gone back and started (re)-learning some of the basics around logical inference: forward and backward chaining for inference on FOL, unification, skolemization, resolution, magic sets, etc., using Prolog, OPS5, yadda, yadda. I'm just about at the point of wanting to try implementing a simple inference engine or two using forward chaining, backward chaining, etc. as a learning exercise for myself.

No real project to link to at the moment. I've just been doing a lot of reading and thinking, not much coding. But hopefully there will be code soon. But, at least for now, it'll just be re-implementing well-known stuff for didactic purposes.
I gotta say, the Yale School of Music website is pretty cool on its own
CMake tackles the unsexy challenge of cataloging every compiler on every platform. If things seem easier in Go, it's in part because Go mostly stays in its sandbox. Where Go interoperates, it's worse than CMake.

For example, Go's build system for C (cgo) is configured by stitching together environment variables and magical comments:

// #cgo CFLAGS: -DPNG_DEBUG=1
// #cgo amd64 386 CFLAGS: -DX86=1
// #cgo LDFLAGS: -lpng
// #include <png.h>
import "C"

As bad as CMake is, that is even worse. Imagine making that stuff portable!

CMake has major problems (package management and language, as you say) but I don't know of any other tool that solves the problem that CMake solves.

I observe that developers usually ignore Sentry bugs. If not, they have to switch context to fix them, even a small bug. Sentry bugs are notified in Slack, Github issues, Jira card... are not a good way to get devs jump in. I'm working a Github bot, it will show bugs related to file in every Pull Request. So devs don't need to switch context to fix. They are touching these files, know the business logics and fixing bugs are easier.

100%. By the same token, however, despite how Section 230 has come to be interpreted, I think these companies should be held responsible for the user-generated content they publish. They should be publishing their own content not acting as middlemen, providing a so-called "platform". All in the interests of surveillance and selling advertising services.

Telcos and cable providers provide access to the medium, i.e. the internet, whereas the web is just one protocol that allows internet users to publish. Having websites with 100s of millions of people posting to them is no substitute for peer-to-peer protocols (private communication) or websites owned by news organisations that employ journalists (publication).

>The data lifecycle is waaay overpopulated with Data Scientists who are not empowered or knowledgeable enough to work with product designers and engineers to do everything that empowers Data Science and ML.

This matches my observations as well. I'm an engineer (The non software kind) at an Industrial plant, I have noticed similar in my involvement with data scientists.

I think in a lot of cases it needs to be acknowledged that data scientists are not domain subject matter experts. Very often the data scientists we have worked with lack knowledge I take for granted as an engineer such as knowledge of basic chemistry, physics etc. I can sanity check plant data almost instantly. For example I will know if a material reacts in an endothermic or exothermic manner and can verify that its effect on a temperature prediction model make sense.

As a result I often feel like Data Scientists are not empowered to bring their full expertise to bear, they don't understand our process fully and lack a lot "engineering" knowledge to make value added inferences about what their models are demonstrating. Often they can deliver a model and show that a particular term is significant but they have a very shallow understanding of what the term actually represents and can't provide concrete recommendations as to how we could modify our plant to benefit from what their model is demonstrating.

Sometimes I feel like we need an additional translator sitting between who can speak both "Data science" and "Engineer" I don't think this is quite what "Data Engineer" as suggested by parent article is but possibly the role could be expanded to incorporate this.
