> I’ve met constant resistance to my product vision, my strong belief in free speech and my view of how the Parler site should be managed

This is a lie, it’s just a question of whether or not he believes it or if he’s just saying what he needs to say to land another role. Parler moderated all kinds of people off the platform for a variety of reasons, including political speech. Anything they said to the contrary was no more than PR puffery, not reality.
Clearly patents and secrets work against humanity in this instance. The government should just buy the tech and open it up.

"The piano-and-bass introduction for the piece was written by Gil Evans for Bill Evans and Paul Chambers on Kind of Blue."[0]

At about 35 seconds into this[1] filmed version of So What, recorded between the 2 sessions for Kind of Blue, you can hear Gil conducting his intro, arranged for his orchestra. It sounds like pretty much exactly what Bill and PC play on the record.

I'll give him credit for the sound of Flamenco Sketches[2] though, maybe my favourite Miles track, adapted from his Peace Piece. And I love the 1958 Stella he was on[3], although for me Coltrane is the star of that.

Also I love his duo records with Tony Bennett.

I really, really dislike his trio stuff though, gee. (Jazz pianist here.) Unswinging, and argghh that clunky locked-hands style is the worst. It puzzles me when people talk as if everything he ever did was uniquely great, and rave about his genius. </rant>

It's been communicated since their SwampUp conference in August, just not very well publicized until this announcement.

The "no writes after 28 Feb" is a new twist...
How was “it” an insurrection? What is even “it”? Are you talking about the entire group that heard Trump’s speech and marched to the Capitol? Because if so then the vast majority protested peacefully outside the barriers and broke no laws. Are you talking about the ones that trespassed onto the Capitol, because the vast majority broke no laws that leftist groups haven’t in recent years in their own illegal invasions of the Capitol*. Are you talking about those that stole things or vandalized things? Because BLM rioters did that all 2020 and I didn’t hear their acts termed as insurrections. And if not them, who or what exactly are you talking about and how did you prove their intent? Maybe you should consider that a few people acting in such a manner is not evidence that either Parler or Trump are responsible for those individuals’ actions.

* Hell, AOC herself participated in one such illegal riot at the Capitol (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic...). And since it was in the pursuit of a political goal (the Green New Deal) that makes her political criminality an act of terrorism, by definition.
Eh, service in Australia is generally not particularly great. This is often a function of staffing though, since wages are expensive (national minimum wage $19.84/hr) and many Australian restaurants consequently either operate with a skeleton staff, pay under the table (migrants/students are brutally exploited), or both.

Japan, on the other hand, has incredible service and absolutely no tips.

But we're not really limited in resources, here. We have TONS of money, people are unemployed, and this is essentially the biggest problem facing the world right now. We can AND OUGHT TO be "wasting" money by throwing large resources at a wide range of potential vaccines (some of which wouldn't work).

The whole "we don't have resources" thing is absurd. We've been spending literally trillions of dollars on COVID-19 relief (and monetary easing, etc) which is a poor substitute for actually solving the COVID-19 problem.
Yes. I tried it, ended up writing my own node version manager inspired by chruby, then went back to asdf and have been so glad I made the switch back. It's performant, it makes it easy to manage all the things where I care about using a specific version so easy, and the maintainers are super responsive and engaged.
> This site is obviously not for mass consumption by the general public, so it's OK that it isn't highly ranked by Google. Google is for the average user. Sites like this are discovered by their target audience and spread largely by wires of mouth.

You find some really good in-depth content for niche areas on these sort of sites (personal HTML websites, neocities.org, etc.). But if you forget the URL, it's usually very hard to find them again on Google even with using specific keywords. Too much SEO spam clogging up the results. I suspect not having Google Analytics scripts on the pages may also contribute.

One that I can remember off the top of my head was a blog with a pink-ish background with content on making quills and ink from plants, among other stuff. One post specifically had an easy ink recipe that used walnuts iirc. Google will show you tons of big SEO'd Wordpress blogs with ads/affiliate links but not the old school genuine site.

Another one was the blog of a day trader (a real one, not a guy trying to sell day trading courses). Impossible to find. site:wordpress.com helps filter out some of the SEO spam but I think it must have been hosted on a custom domain. It definitely looked like a standard Wordpress website when I read it a long time ago.

Marxists are against charter schools, so we'll see if those will continue to exist or not in cities like SF since private schools can substitute Marxist ideology.

In some areas of North America, non-Muslim families are considering sending their kids to Islamic schools to get away from Marxist (CTR, trans-first, etc.) public school programs. Or Catholic, etc.
That's a tough one. Could go either way (he's unstable... but resourceful). Tesla has been helping CureVac, though, which is one of the other mRNA vaccine providers (and could perhaps help scale out Moderna and Pfizer's vaccine, if they were given access to all their IP?).
> Generally you have little to no service interaction in these stores.

Actually, in stores like Nordstrom, you get a lot more service (if you want it) than at a restaurant - even when you don't want it. I avoided them for years for this reason. They have a fair number of people who spend much much more time providing these services than doing the other stuff you mentioned.

Sure, if you have a VPN that's probably fine. Though this is another piece of tech you need to setup, and thus another barrier for non techies. That's why encryption (secure by default) is better than having users know how to securely setup things, and even needing to know that it's a concern.
Possibly because of this, wage theft outstrips all other forms of theft.

Ponder this.

Can you ever willfully choose option C, if you never knew or had anything lead you to think that option C was even an option?

Or better yet, can you willfully imagine a new color that's not in any way related to the colors or any combination of colors you've already seen before? Or further, not related to ANY CONCEPT you're already aware of?

You can't. But if you could, how would you ever describe it to someone? After all, if you describe this new color using other ideas you're already acquainted with, then it is thus in some way related to those very ideas used to describe it...

This shows that, any "new" ideas you imagine, are nothing but a combination of ideas you're already familiar with. Otherwise, to become familiar with ideas that are not in any way related to what you're already familiar with, can ONLY come from your senses. Hence, all concepts/thoughts/ideas you ever have ultimately stem from your senses (seeing, hearing, etc).

Since all ideas ultimately originate from our senses, then the thoughts we have and decisions we make are ultimately subject to the stimuli inputted to us. Thus we are as mechanical as anything else in this world. Fundamentally no different than a rock in how it operates on the physical stimuli inputted on it. Granted we are much more complex than a rock and hence have much more complex responses to our stimuli, but nonetheless just as deterministic.

The brain may attempt to control what's external to it, but the way it does so has been programmed from the stimuli inputted on it (from DNA instructions, to nutrition, to physical stimuli).

What, specifically, did AWS ask them to do that they could have done?

From outside appearances, it seems they were given non-specific demands to remedy problems that Twitter has in greater magnitude (eg, Twitter being sued for their hosting of child porn, unremedied).

Picking and choosing how to enforce rules based on political sentiments is a “partisan act”.
I don't disagree about the "saying one thing and doing something else" part. I was commenting on the general principle of lowering one's wages (even to below minimum wages) if the person gets enough tips, and how common that is.

As someone who's lab studies how memories are stored and recalled in the mamalian brain, I was excited to see a headline in the top list of Hacker News. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to see what was actually there.

As is often the case, this article conflates some ideas that are truly remarkable and interesting (how are memories stored?) and mixes them with very strong statements that are clearly wrong. In this case, it is clear that synapses (connections between neurons) HAVE to be involved in memory, as the only way that a memory can ever be expressed is if a neuron triggers another neuron, etc, down the chain to a muscle. (OK, thoughts don't necessarily involve muscles, but to show your thoughts to the world.) And if synapse *dynamics* are not involved in memory, then either they never change, or they change randomly, both of which will lead to problems. (That's an exercise left to the reader.) So dynamic synapses are involved in memory, definitely, no question.

The article mentions a couple of things that are interesting misdirection, like invertebrate models where "memories" are transmitted via serum. These are super cool experiments, but these are memories in the same way your immune system "remembers" a virus. Despite Tonegawa's best efforts, I think most researchers are quite confident that recalling your memory of last Christmas uses a very different mechanism than your immune system does to generate imagined tastes and smells and warm feelings.

The article also talks about RNA ticker tapes. There is some super cool neuroengineering research around the idea of making a designer protein that would record a neurons activity in nucleotide chains as a readout. Definitely worth a dive if you're interested.

And how neural activity drives synapse dynamics is a very big open question. It's known to involve protein synthesis (pkm-zeta, anyone?), so RNA is definitely involved.

Finally, for those curious about how memories work, look up the "cognitive map" or the "index theory of memory".
Ask HN: Resources to plan organizations data strategy?
I'm looking for resources to learn about development of a wholistic data strategy for large organizations (>1,000) people - to store data, share data, create automatic/realtime reporting?

Starting from a very low base - I've learnt to mockup R Notebooks to analyze data sets and used PowerBI to create (somewhat) informational dashboards and KPI measurement for organizations.

E.g. For an organization with +10,000 users, what options are available to setup datastores/share and develop pipelines for a large organization - hosted/local. E.g what tools are used? Whats industry best practice? Whats open source vs proprietary? Security implications/trade-offs?

Any directions helpful. I've briefly looked at Power BI and its hosted platform but looking for what else is around.
BeetleB, Most of that old-style retail is dying out though. The department store model of Sears and Macys lost to the big-box model of walmart and best buy. These days you are lucky if there is enough staff to run the registers in a pinch; big box retail and specialty can be absurdly cheap.

Like the whole gamestop debacle-go into the store and you'll find maybe they have barely enough payroll to have more than one person in the store on non-peak days.

> You're assuming people won't create great things without ad profit. I submit Open Source and Wikipedia as evidence to the contrary. Not making a profit on the original creative act might lead to larger profits for society overall and indirect advantages to the original creators.

Both examples you listed are products that are feasibly created by the many small contributors. Many products cannot feasibly be created in such a manner and rely on some manner of income to remain feasible.

There are quite a few content creators that are capable of producing content because their efforts are supported by advertisement. It would be hard for them to operate on the many small contributions-model.

> And usually content created for profit is quite untrustworthy, I prefer content created out of passion.

Few men enjoy the luxury to devote so much time to their passions when other parts of their time are allocated to securing the income they need to feed themselves.

> Also, there's nothing wrong with ads, but they need to be topical to the content at hand, not targeted to users.

This situation would indeed benefit the visitor more; it would not benefit the advertiser, nor the middleman, nor the space where the advertisement stands.

How experienced are you in topping trees and installing antennas?

IMO the safest way for a heavy older person to climb and then top a tree is to have the right safety equipment, years of experience doing this kind of thing and some other experienced person to help.

Other than that, if you're willing to risk life and limb, at least hire an expert to assess your materials and proposition.

Oh, and if you really end doing this, try topping and attaching an antenna to a... say 8' tree first. That way you can learn the basics from simple maiming, instead of more severe outcomes.

Tips have become so detached from their original intention too. I've been to so many places (pre-covid) that asked for tips upfront during checkout before I've received any service. How would I know what the service would be like and therefore how much to tip? Might as well call it a surcharge and be done with it.

I guess same thing now with food deliveries, but at least I can change the tips (I think?) afterwards if something wasn't good.

Money and manufacturing resources are not at all the same thing.
When you think tipping, remember it’s origins in feudal Europe, and American slavery. “the Pullman Company, which hired newly freed African American men as porters. Rather than paying them a real wage, Pullman provided the black porters with just a meager pittance, forcing them to rely on tips from their white clientele for most of their pay.”

The Effectiveness of Speed Cameras [pdf]
While Prussian culture and the unification of Germany has been done to death in regards to the origin of Nazism (my personal favorite detailing of that history and how Nazism may have its roots in that culture is Iron Kingdom) I’m not sure I’ve read a similar account irt Italy, it is just my pet theory.

Further, I’d argue that Portugal and Spain can play a role to help further this theory. While Italy and Germany spent the years developing a national identity at war to enlarge their nations (and form this outright) Spain and Portugal spent that same time period developing into a single culture while fending off newcomers and trying to keep their nations intact. For this reason their form a fascism was less expansionist (or to be correct, was less able to be convinced that expansion was their only hope.)
> but audiences everywhere wanted to see, and hear, the real Laurel and Hardy.

This was probably due to the fact that until some time earlier people had not actually ever heard _anyone_ speaking, these were amongst the first movies which had audio, they just had not thought of dubbing.

But they started applying normal dubbing soon after: according to wikipedia, the "self-dubbed" movies were produced between 1929 and 1931 but then stopped.

A fun side effect of this is that the new dubbers kept the odd english accent! So if you get a copy of later movies where Hardy is dubbed by Alberto Sordi (one of the greatest actors of italian cinema) you can hear him make this funny fake accent, and mispronouncing words (e.g. very famously "stupìdo" rather than "stùpido").
I believe in the Pareto Principle but I believe it's inescapable. And the author says so himself, just not in these words:

Most if the things you will try will not produce desired effects. Sure, the more you try the more you will succeed, but that's still 20%, just of a larger overall expended energy.
I feel like there are some misunderstandings in this thread. Let me summarize my understanding:

Safari has effectively disabled third party cookies. Nothing broke. Chrome has announced that they will do the same in 2022. However, unlike Apple, Google doesn't want to cannibalize the ad industry so they decided to introduce this Privacy Sandbox which allows targeted advertising without sending a personal identifier to the server.

The article that we are discussing is saying that this Privacy Sandbox will favor Google Ads. The top comment said that this article is likely astroturfing. It written by people affiliated with other ad networks, whose goal is to water down the Privacy Sandbox proposal so that it enables more tracking.

Some people have said that they don't trust Google to implement Privacy Sandbox in a privacy friendly way, so it shouldn't exist at all. But that was never really on the table.

Never having a tipping culture is a much different thing than having to transition from one that tips to one that does not. Did Australia have tips then do away with them at some point? If so, how did they pull it off?
Not the mob directly, but a wicked power struggle could have ensued if they'd, say, succeeded in hanging Mike Pence or Nancy Pelosi. For instance, martial law could have been declared, or an alt-right paramilitary could have formed, or the Federal government could have reacted so strongly that states defy orders and rulings. Probably the most realistic worry would be that political violence and domestic terrorism become normalized.

It really did make the US government seem far more fragile than I even expected.
How is that inherently harmful? Doesn't charging a large sum for something offered by an ad mean, that the ad provided something of value to the user? My issue with personalized ads isn't that users end up spending money on what they offer; it's the potential for the collection of that pervasive data to negatively impact the user and broader society.
