This reminds me of a reddit copypasta:

---

I just downvoted your comment.

FAQ
What does this mean?
The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?
There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

Rudeness towards other Redditors,
Spreading incorrect information,
Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.
Am I banned from the Reddit?
No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?
Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.
Think everyone did :D
I stay logged out of YT, and clear my cookies every so often when I start getting too many of the same kinds of recommendations. They do match based on IP, since that's all they really have from me. When I delete cookies, though, things start over, basically. Then I get recommendations based on what I've searched for in YT and what I've watched since I last deleted them. It's nice, really. For a little while, YT doesn't know enough about me not to show me both sides of an issue I'm searching for. It's really touchy, though. Two or three videos covering one particular side of an issue in a row and the other recommendations disappear.

Of course, I can't subscribe, like, ring the damn bell, or whatever it is they want me to do in every video. I do use patreon for those content creators I really like.
> I also believe the feature (auto) makes sense for C++ with its verbose and lengthy types nobody but your compiler cares about (say, e.g., multimap::equal_range). For C? Get out of here..

It's more than convenience. auto is effectively mandatory in many cases where the return type of templates/functions is private to the implementation (lambdas being the most common example, but libraries like hana make extensive use of such private types).
Attempting to topple the legitimately elected US president comes with consequences. No matter the reasoning. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Edit: It is interesting to see my comment downvoted. Taking part in such acts and not expecting consequences is naive at best.
I might go a step further. I downvote anyone who uses broad brush strokes especially when using traits like race, sex, gender, political ideology, etc... These days that ends up meaning if you are anyone who takes and espouses a strong political cultural leaning, you get my downvote. Anything that's bad faith, like complaining someone has a perspective of "both sides" immediately gets a downvote. I have voted independent since I could vote and constantly having these camps attack me for my unique perspective and life experiences has taken its toll on that way.

I've been all around the world by now and I've realized people are rarely what you think they are. Even when you can point to stated political ideologies, I've argued and debated with enough people to know that the box almost never fits. I can judge your comments at point in time, but I've often found myself scrolling someone's post history on here and saying, "They're not so bad, they just lack perspective or experiences in this area." It's also possible they've had overwhelmingly negative experiences in that area, but a bad opinion nonetheless gets a downvote.

The whole point is I can rarely bring myself to judge a person as a whole. That takes some overwhelming information about them for me to do. I can judge individual criterion and that's exactly what the downvote gets used for on this account. I don't expect people to change and I don't really expect my fraction of an opinion to matter much.
> I don't think that social media alone is to blame, nor do I think it is the main culprit, it is an accelerant, but not the cause.

There's an opinion piece today in the NYT which argues that the present state of politics, with the rightward and even reactionary shift in certain areas of Republicanism, has been 40 years in the making:

Republicans have been fueling the conditions that enabled Mr. Trump’s rise since the 1980s.

A growing Southern and Western evangelical base pushed the party to replace its big-tent, bipartisan and moderate Republicanism of the mid-20th century with a more conservative version. Under President Dwight Eisenhower, the party had made peace with New Deal social provisioning and backed large-scale federal spending on infrastructure and education. Even as late as the 1970s, President Richard Nixon passed legislation expanding federal regulatory agencies. Yet when Ronald Reagan moved into the White house in 1981, the Republicans sharply slashed government regulations. They cut taxes for the wealthy and oversaw a hollowing out of the American welfare state. At the same time, the party shored up its heavily evangelical base with tough-on-crime policies, anti-abortion rhetoric and coded racist attacks on “welfare queens.”

The full piece is here:

It's a really reliable signal that the company is optmizing for the wrong things. The company just got out of its way to make non-customers life harder, that normally doesn't happen by accident.

It's not impactful by itself, but the more impactful things are less reliable as signals anyway.
Yes, and please leave C++ alone too, at least for 20 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination

"Discrimination is the act of making unjustified distinctions between human beings based on the groups, classes, or other categories to which they are perceived to belong.[1] People may be discriminated on the basis of race, gender, age or sexual orientation, as well as other categories.[2] Discrimination especially occurs when individuals or groups are unfairly treated in a way which is worse than other people are treated, on the basis of their actual or perceived membership in certain groups or social categories.[2][3] It involves restricting members of one group from opportunities or privileges that are available to members of another group.[4]

Do you think Apple giving 100MM specifically to "Black and Brown companies" is unjustified?
Hello, thank you for your comment and for your work on Signal.

I wrote a comment here outlining my frustration over the lack of export ability in iOS: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25763997

I feel this goes beyond simply not providing a "feature", but rather it is actively harmful to users, especially in combination with unreliable mobile/desktop sync. It means that people get their memories destroyed, without warning and without recourse.

Would you be willing to have a conversation with me over email (address in profile)? I would like to discuss what can be done about this, and I would be open to compensating developers for their time.
To me, an upvote just means "I think more people should see this" and a downvote just means "I think fewer people should see this".

If I simply disagree with someone, I prefer to reply (or upvote someone else's reply) with an explanation of why I disagree. I try to only downvote posts with whom I disagree if I believe they are being mean.

As for my own posts, I do get frustrated when I am downvoted but nobody replies with an explanation for why they downvoted me. I leave comments on sites like HN because I want to evolve my own thoughts on the subject and help others evolve theirs. So to me a downvoted post with no replies is a missed opportunity to evolve my thoughts and better understand those who disagree with me. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this site applies to HN comments.
Is IPSec as fast as Wireguard if I'm running it on a potato like a Raspberry Pi 2?

You might need a source for that.

>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.

You lost me at Apple. Apple owns around 15% of the PC market space and almost the entirety of that is Intel-based systems. Outside of HN, nobody cares about the M1 chip, it isn't a selling point to my mom or her friends. If someone at the Apple store recommends it they might buy it instead of an intel-based system but it definitely isn't something they're seeking out.

The only threat Intel has right now in the consumer space is AMD, and it's a very real threat. AMD won both Sony and Microsoft console designs, and the mobile Ryzen 5000 chips released at CES look to have enough OEM design wins to put a serious hurt on Intel in 2021.

Even if Apple goes 100% M1, there's the other 85% of the market that Intel is likely far more concerned about.

It doesn't need to be just because of that book - e.g. companies can see impending food scarcity and invest in agricultural research etc. to avoid it and profit by meeting the growing demand.

The thing is although we now we can often figure out solutions when the problems become more apparent, we can't guarantee it - so it makes sense to start working on solutions as soon as possible.
Experiencing negative consequences and adjusting your behavior to avoid them is also called becoming a better person.

Pretty sure that's American exceptionalism, and not actually true.

Dockerizing AdonisJS and Redis
A) I think internet providers should be regulated as utilities which would prevent them from arbitrarily refusing service

B) It is illegal to refuse service on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or disability. It is legal to refuse service on the basis of ‘I don’t like your opinion’.

If I start a bar, I can’t ban people because they’re of a race, from a country, etc. but if there’s a group supporting the overthrow of our government, I absolutely can (and probably would).
Any time! You can learn more about software maturity here: https://www.ory.sh/docs/ecosystem/versioning

So basically Ory Hydra is the most stable and we did not have any big breaking changes (maybe a CLI command arg renamed) in the last 2 years iirc.

Cloud service is planned for a private beta in Q1 2021 (lmk if you are interested). Public release probably end of 2021 I think!
This sound like you're living in a not-so-developed (part of the) country though? Sorry if that's the case, but from my experience living in Germany you can easily afford decent food (in fact there's little bad food, except the artificial American stuff) and housing while going to uni for free (you might even apply for BaFöG and stipends). This would especially apply to you as a bright person.
Google drive unofficial client works pretty well for me on Linux.
I've been unable to use Beagle boards in the past as they ship with an old kernel and uboot without the sources to update or config them (this was specifically with the black variant). It probably had something to do with vendor NDAs with chipsets or something but it made them entirely unusable to me and more expensive than competitors by almost 2x to boot.

I would love a RISC-V board to play with that is a bit more stable and about the size of a Raspberry Pi within a reasonable price range. The SiFive development boards are pretty pricey, definitely showcase hardware (look at all these peripherals or this is basically a desktop computer!).

I'm hoping with the explicit call out of open hardware and open software that this board won't have the same issues as the Beaglebone Black...
I'm very cynical, much more so than you, however you do make a good point. I like that at least they have a little bit of transparency in the talk pages, even if im often not always happy with the consensus

Re: Stack Overflow, while I agree with you, most of my experience with SO downvoting has purely to do with other members thinking "I feel this is a stupid question so I will downvote you".

Usually SO is a last resort for me once I have done enough research and read through lots of documentation for hours trying to understand why something does not work as expected.
I ask a question on SO, and rather than being answered, am downvoted and belittled in the comments. It has made SO a toxic place where honest questions that are researched prior are punished. I do understand why it happens though because for every honest question, there's probably thousands of questions from people who obviously don't do any research.

Then having your "Thank you for answering my question" comment removed by SO moderators because they don't want thank you's on the platform... It's just turned into too much of a toxic place and is an absolute last resort.

IMO. Others experiences may be different :)

The point is that people generally downvote for whatever reason they want. Even with community standards that help to educate people, by empowering people to downvote, they just exercise that right and it has consequences for the community.
Not a Dropbox user myself, but this system of counting shared files towards your quota seems pretty awful, and I'm surprised I've not seen more complaints about it. Do other cloud storage providers work this way?
Can't waste a good crisis. Its the same way every time. You only have to look back at terrorist events and see the long-term impact on our freedoms and how it was used to push an agenda. And I say this as neutrally as possible.
In the EU, a company can choose from a pool of many governments and picks the one that suits it the best and then gets access to every other country. And there are not that many other countries, which have a government which fit yoir definition.
The magical thinking comes from trying to organize a significant portion of Google's customer base (all android phone users, all google search users, etc) spontaneously into a body that can really damage their value proposition financially.
In a labor union _all_ of the value is generated by a bunch of people who are geographically close together and able to organize more easily :)
Ask HN: How do we know Signal or Telegram don't store our data on their servers?

As I understand it, the newspapers in Australia want Google to pay for the right to show them in search results. Google is experimenting with not showing them in the results at all, which I assume is the alternative if Google doesn't want to pay. And now the newspapers cry foul? So the idea is that Google must show them in results and must pay?

Seems absurd to legislate that company A must pay company B with no alternative.

There' has been always a split between software that is expected to be run for 10 or 20 years and software that will be obsoleted in 2 years.

https://www.cip-project.org/ aims to backport fixes to released kernel for 25 (twenty-five) years.

Because you don't "npm update" deployed systems on: banks, power plants, airplanes and airports, trains, industrial automation, phone stations, satellites. Not to mention military stuff.

(And Debian is much more popular in those places that people believe)

> Devs want to distribute their software to users, and they aren't going to chase down rabbit holes to get it packaged to comply with every different distributions set of available dependency versions.

That's what stable ABIs are for.

> Really this idea that a distro (even a large well maintained one like Debian) has the resources to package a set of known versions of go/node packages for common open source software seems wrong?

Yes, incredibly so. Picking after lazy developers to unbundle a library can require hours.

Backporting security fixes for hundreds of thousands libraries including multiple versions is practically impossible.

> And no dev is going to downgrade some random dependency of their app just to comply with with Debian's set of available versions.

Important systems will keep running in the next decades. Without the work from such developers.
> Now that our news channels, like Fox News, and CNN, spend more time talking about their opinions of the news rather than what occurred

This is why a lot of countries have state-sponsored media with an obligation to report objectively, but without the pressure to be profitable. With news anchors and journalists that can build up trust and integrity over decades, without the need to sensationalize everything for the sake of viewer numbers. Obviously not a silver bullet either; if there are government officials breathing down their necks instead of shareholders it's probably not much of an improvement, but if enough independence can be maintained it seems to definitely help keeping the discussion civilized.
It's hard to understand isn't it. He makes the Trump Administration look like amateurs considering how many people were deported under the Obama Administration and how tough they were on jailing minorities. Even Harris's record shows she was incredibly tough on crime and hard on minorities. Sure they like raising taxes but generally it's to make the rich richer and poor poorer.

Bezos, Suckerburg along with all the others worth 10's of billions will be just fine. It's the little guy that is going to get crushed. Anyway, this is all just a distraction to keep you stupid, tired and poor.
How is that a contradiction?

Is it important that images and videos are present in your new chat applications ?

On Android Whatsapp images are part of "All Images" (don't really know how to call it) and these are synced with your Google Photos account, but you are free to sync them with any other means (they're just files after all). I guess it's time to self-host this content so as to not have to do this dance again when the next platform fails you, again

I think Amazon the entity is exactly the right person to decide who their customers are and what their contractual obligations are to those customers.

After reading the wikipedia article, I agree. I don't see what the parallel could be for "good information" being taken "out of circulation" by hoarders (since it's non-fungible).

Perhaps he intended something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons, that can explain people pitching bad ideas as credible due to information asymmetry.
The nice thing about storing everything including metadata in S3 is that you have a consistent copy of your filesystem. How do you back up a filesystem that is split across Redis and S3 for example? I was able to blow away the cluster running it, spin up a new one, point it at the bucket and add the encryption key, and it would bring up a working filesystem. Just like plugging in a hard drive.

If you're 26,000 pieces of content behind, might 98 of those 26,000 be the ones you've been asked specifically to address by the other party in your contract?

Why is a backlog of 26,000 tasks acceptable? Why can't they auto-flag things upon report and hide them pending review? This is not a hard technical problem. This is a people and motivation problem.

Try getting 26,000 flagged operations behind when the flag is OFAC or underage porn and see who shuts down your business.
