At the level of speech, yes I agree with you. It becomes a problem when these commercial platforms meddle with government business and the social contract. Things everyone is supposed to have and equally. This means access to fundamental goods and services – health, banking, food and water, employment, emancipation, etc. Software only gets to eat the world if it involves itself in every industry and aspect of life, end to end. And no one makes money in startups unless you are a unicorn (unlikely) or acquired by a large existing player (more likely). Where does this go in a post-COVID recovery with 60% unemployment and the destruction of small business?

I never thought I would say this, but I have become a fan of Europe's approach to regulation. They've pushed for GDPR which at least gets us the ability to obtain and delete our data, they've acknowledged the right to repair, and as self-serving as it may be, they understand the ramifications of a unilateral takedown of the communications of a head of state – particularly the precedent it sets. They will likely continue their fight until they've setup their own alternatives to SV-based infrastructure.

It's only bad if you poorly estimate your minimal expenses over a long term.

If buying a PS5 is really important to you, then by setting money aside for it you are paying yourself first. For most working people, though, there are much more important things to save for, and the wiser decision would be not to buy the PS5 if it means reducing the savings.

Congrats man. I similarly decided never to work for any government or connected organization ever again when I realized all governments are criminal orgs comparable to the mafia, living off of theft and extortion, basically slavery ('taxation').
Thanks! I'll check it out later!
Some exotic life form, which did not originate on earth would most likely have interesting features we have never seen before. Scientists could study them and gain insights about alternatives to the biology of earth creatures. Who knows this research may lead to new drugs or procedures we can use to better our lives?
It's likely more of a failsafe. All CA's, registrars, DNS providers, CDN's and hosting providers have some variant of that wording so that they can terminate your account without facing legal recourse. It's easy to miss it, some AUP's are massive and default to tiny font.

Some of these companies are as big as a small city. How much control or responsibility would you say an average resident of the city carries over the actions of their city council?

I wouldn't say the gap is closed. It's not bad as previous Intel modems but not Qualcomm quality. I had Pixel 2 went to iPhone XR(current phone). In between I also had other android phones (S9, G7 and Pixel 3) for testing purposes. When compared to iPhone XR, iPhone XR had slower speeds when compared to Qualcomm modems. Also if your carrier supports carrier aggregation then the speeds are noticeable. I had do live streams with tethering this summer and Intels modems are not fast as Qualcomm modems.
Yes, I have poked around DynamoRIO a few times. It's now geared toward dynamically modifying binaries for various purposes from code coverage to fuzzing to performance and memory profiling.

There doesn't appear to currently be a turn-key solution similar to the original Dynamo. DynamoRIO could be used to put a small conditional tracing stub at the start of every basic block at application startup time, and then do some binary rewriting, similar to the original Dynamo, but it doesn't seem there are downloadable binaries that currently do this.

This dynamic optimization would be much easier and lower overhead (but less general) with cooperation from the compiler.
There used to be a service/project called Hashbase[1] that would "pin" (aka seed) a site for you. Looks like it's inactive, though, which is a shame since it feels like something along these lines would be pretty necessary for any Beaker sites you might consider remotely real/serious.

Congrats on launching a product. I think it’s a great idea for small - medium sized shops to use this.

I used to be an SRE at a large company with a gigantic AWS account. While the console can be a mess, it’s really information dense and once you are familiar with it, you can find a lot of stuff. It also meant that it was easier to use awscli because you knew what was available without reading the docs.

I honestly don’t need things to look well designed with lots of white space at the expense of lowering the information density.

Cost saving views displayed in plaintext above resources are cool, but not better than the billing console which can be fairly powerful.

Coincidence? Probably not.
Nobody is advocating the position outlined over your "fiction" heading, your "truth" section talks about only about likelihood and details like the total mass of the contaminants are irrelevant figures. As for the "deeper truth" section, why would historians need to be informed of this if they had access to 2020 news stories already? And how would a false (or, worse, true) claim about committing such an act bolster the credibility of other information related to the crash?
Oh - just in case that's a very polite hint - when I post links like that, it isn't in any way to imply that the submission shouldn't have been posted. It's just to satisfy people's curiosity. HN readers like looking at past threads.

HN allows reposts after a year or so, or if a story hasn't had much attention yet. In cases where it has had significant attention in the last year (or so), we mark the repost [dupe] and downweight it. That's not the case here (though I'm sort of playing the "or so" card with respect to May 2020).
Thanks, but I read the article, and my enthusiasm is justified.

Because thus vitamin D would be a great solution against autoimmune diseases, among which are a lot of the cases under the umbrella Chronic Lyme Disease (it is supposed that the borreliosis can provoke an autoimmune dysfunction that continues beyond the disappearance of the bacteria).

A lot of cases of chronic fatigue would be treated by vitamin D, which is a huge news.

Ensuring that our spacecraft are 100% sterile costs significant money and time.

Barely 1/3 of eligible California voters voters for Clinton in 2016, yet she got 100% of the electoral votes.

Software is a second career for me, and the pervasive hostility of the tech industry has never stopped shocking me. I dream of communities where differences are celebrated, enhancing creative ferment; the tech industry as a whole won't be that way within the foreseeable future, but there can be pockets where tolerance and constructive interaction are norms.

The Rust community is one of them. Regardless of whether it is successful as a recruitment tool, regardless of the effect on productivity, building a kind community is worthwhile just for the sake of its members.

Because life is short, and every hour that we spend enjoying ourselves rather than enveloped by hostility is a treasure.
Great product - sorely needed for AWS - that said Heroku is an interesting choice... I’ve been using it for almost 10 years now and I’m not sure how much more room for improvement there is - maybe I’ve got blinkers on - what are the Heroku UI/UX pain points you’re seeking to solve?
> Plaid claims to not store this info, and I assume that they don't

Think of it as Plaid storing OAuth2 access tokens, sort of; and the tokens do expire (over pretty long periods), though, some bank integrations do allow them to generate their equivalent of refresh tokens.

Plaid didn't go into this blind; they know the tightrope they're walking. As someone who's worked with Plaid to build an integration into our product, I'd say they're definitely in a very gray area, but that's pretty much all of the Fintech space right now.

Although, I'd also say they're not malicious; even if it is just motivated by the fear of the bad press resulting in a customer exodus.

Distasteful speech is legal and so is kicking distasteful speech off your private platform. The primary limitation on what businesses can and can't do with who uses their platforms are that they need to avoid affecting protected classes.

If you think we need to protect MAGA supporters as a class, I just flat out disagree that there's any cause for it. That group of folks are largely already brimming with privilege that protects them (see walking away from storming the Capitol after killing multiple people).

If you think that the government should force private entities to not enforce consequences to speech they disagree with, I believe the government would struggle to prove that that doesn't itself impact the free speech rights of the private entities and it face immediate law suits to overturn such a law. The 1st amendment protects us from the government, not us from each other.

Appreciated! Well, it's always possible to correct bad information by respectfully providing good information, without breaking the site guidelines. That's what other users are doing (some of them at least!). I'd say flagging is best reserved for when the comment you're flagging has broken the site guidelines itself (which was the case here, but isn't always).
I’ve never been much of a fan of realtime chats.

Heck, I even had a personal policy of never scheduling regular meetings (they all needed to be “as-needed”).

However, I worked for a Japanese company, so regular meetings were a part of my life; whether or not I liked it.

I prefer “store and forward” communication (email is the classic form). Working for a Japanese company actually helped, there, as it was damn near impossible to have realtime chats with Tokyo.

If I use Slack that way, I do miss stuff in noisy channels, but I’ve learned to live with it (so have people I work with).
With the state of American politics today, saying "I don't think we have enough evidence to conclusively tie ____ to Russia" is sufficient evidence for a significant chunk of the population to accuse the speaker of being "in the pocket of Russia". Unfortunately.

Disagree, they are hiding the fact by assuming ignorance of most users. A true “link” , would use something like OAuth to have the bank handle authentication and provide explicitly scoped subset of consumer data to Plaid. Instead they are taking the plaintext password and getting total access. Just taking that passwords itself is a security vulnerability. Google doesn’t even know your Gmail password, just the hash, but since Plaid can’t use a password hash to login, it must store your plaintext password to your financial accounts, some of THE most sensitive data. Furthemore they have access to way more data than they should rather than clearly defined scoped subsets of it.

The whole company is a privacy and security disaster. Of course it’s annoying that banks don’t provide reasonable OAuth APIs, but Plaid “disrupts” that by deceiving consumers into dangerous security vulnerabilities with their most sensitive personal data.
The 21st century version of Godwin’s law is still Godwin’s law, it seems.
People always say this, but it doesn't make sense. The reason there is such a thing as a battleground state is because some voters matter and others do not, thanks to the EC. Look at this map from the 2016 election. New York is almost all red, but Trump didn't even bother courting voters there because their votes matter not at all. If there were a national popular vote, then every vote everywhere would matter. No candidate could focus on a few places if they want to win, because the whole country would be in play.
Buddy said the same is true at Amazon. There are some locked down repos but a vast majority of everything is open for any engineer to see.

Leaks are possible, no doubt. But yeah, prison.
Trump is a customer like any other and if he is reducing the value of the service for a sufficient number of other customers then it is a net benefit to remove him from the platform. Trump starts flame wars for self-promotion and profit and YouTube doesn’t see adequate compensation for their costs. They could stand to have less abusive speech and more money in their pocket. YouTube has a very wide moat trenched around them and so they don’t have to cater to niches to maximize their profits.

I posted this in response to another of your comments, but in Section 2339a;

> ...it is necessary that a defendant in some sort associate himself with the venture, that he participate in it as in something that he wishes to bring about, [and] that he seek by his action to make it succeed.”

The example of Sec 1466a is an excellent one. Facebook is the world’s largest platform for sharing exactly those types images, and they have not been charged under 1466a, because they are not liable under it.

What would be pertinent is 18 USC 2258A [2] which requires service providers to report any such content that that are made aware of to the tip line, but by now we are far afield of the topic at hand.

Wild to me that so many people think that the Hunter Biden fiasco is now settled.
It's also subtle in that while false negatives are common, false positives are rare (very rare). But general public don't get that subtlty and assume "the test isn't reliable" so a positive means they're not infected.

Here is what we do in my company:

`precommit` and `prepush` \#git hooks are used to catch issues before they are pushed upstream.

* `precommit` runs only on staged files (takes few seconds)
* `prepush` runs eslint typescript and unit tests (takes up to 20 seconds)

Every time a commit is pushed:

1 ) We build a #docker image & bundle cypress and other development dependencies. This allows us to run all subsequent tasks using the same Docker image.

It is fast. Takes 2-4 minutes.

2 ) We run 5 tasks concurrently to validate our build.

* ESLint
* TypeScript
* jest Unit tests
* cypress Integration tests
* Fetch, validate & compile GraphQL schema

2 ) For every commit, we deploy a review app.

Review app:

* Allows anyone to preview what is being developed.
* Allows anyone to preview our storybook.
* Allows to leave visual reviews (WIP)

3 ) Before changes can be merged to the main branch, we use GitLab to mandate at least 1 review from the team.

In addition, we use GitLab review system to advise who is the best person to review the code based on which files have changed.

5 ) When changes are merged to the main branch, we automatically deploy to production.

We use argocd to implement gitops. This means that we have a detail log of everything that has been deployed, and in case of a critical error, reverting is as simple as "git revert" Receipt

6 ) Finally, we push changes regularly to the main branch. Small incremental updates, dozens of times a day.

This means that if things break, they are typically small things and easy to revert / patch.

We use feature flags to hide any WIP features.
If the web browser was actually a replacement for apps there would be no apps in the app store because it would be easier and far cheaper to run a website.
>I'm going to agree with the parent comment: The question of ISPs being a public utility or not is crucial for this discussion because it goes to the core of the issue of what should be a privilege and what should be a right.

I'd go further than that. Requiring ISPs to be dumb pipes (that means no port blocking or throttling, among other things) can reduce the power and influence of the large social media players by making it easier to host your own data[0][1][2] and share what you want with whom you want.

No middlemen, no abusive data mining/tracking, etc.

But doing so requires that ISPs are not gatekeepers, just suppliers of bandwidth/routing.

> Also, giving your credentials to any third party, including Plaid, voids the warranty at many financial institutions.

Funny enough, I've seen that be the case at some banks that simultaneously integrate Plaid into their online account application flow for the initial/funding deposit but. Pretty ironic that users are implicitly coerced into voiding their liability protection at their existing bank during the course of opening an account at a new one. Who wouldn't hesitate to turn around and also invalidate your liability protections themselves if you
used your new bank's credentials with Plaid elsewhere.
None of the radicals used parler.

I forget which podcast it was on, but Automattic's CEO (Matt Mullenweg) talked about how they use blogs internally for much of their communication, so there's a huge searchable archive of information back to the early days of the company. People occasionally write posts to collect useful information that's fallen too deep.

It was probably either in his interview[0] on The Knowledge Project or a recent episode of his own podcast[1]. Probably the former since the latter usually focuses on what other people are doing instead of his own company.
