I'm a DevOps guy at heart turned manager and founder of open-source MLOps tooling. I've scaled from 30 to 230, from 5 to 50 and most recently from 0 to 5. Along the way learned to love hiring/mentoring teams, building purpose-driven tech stacks, solving challenges data-driven and with a people-and-result-centered culture.
The practical reason it wasn't overturned is that it wasn't appealed (IIRC, they reached a settlement). Had there been an appeal, it's possible the court would have recognized that exercising some editorial control over third-party content doesn't make you into a newspaper-like publisher. They might have set the bar some place like "actual knowledge of the content, pre-publication". That might have created a precedent where there was something resembling distributor liability - where a platform wouldn't be liable unless they were put on notice and failed to take down defamatory speech.

That would still be a problem (because it would allow companies to censor critics, even if the criticism wasn't actually defamatory), but at least we wouldn't have incoherent arguments about a non-existent publisher/platform dichotomy.

That city-journal piece is pretty awful. For instance, regarding the bit you quoted, they absolutely can claim that 230 protects free speech. Private censorship on private property is free speech.

Congress almost certainly can't pass a law that outlaws viewpoint discrimination for web sites that would survive 1A scrutiny. Fiddling with defamation liability to get around the constitution might work, but just because you can doesn't mean you should.
I think the point is, with a middle-class (let alone wealthy) background few of those poor decisions in the youth spiral out into lifetime handicaps.
looks to me like bang/buck here is still going to be amd. you could put together a very nice amd board for $750
Working class people can now afford air travel, you can ship oranges between states without applying for a special trucking permit, almost 50% of Iowa's power generation is renewable, stock market trades went from 80c _per share_ to retail traders being paid to trade, and we still manage to make and enforce rules so that average gas mileage has gone from 13mpg to 26mpg.

I don't agree with Rayiner about Texas, but I don't think you can wave your hands at 60s-70s deregulation and say "lol Milton Friedman". The deregulators were right about a lot of stuff.

Yup. Tesla has shown absolutely zero obligation in releasing, without authorization, telemetry data from drivers and incidents to defend the company/vehicle, while you, poor owner, are forced to go through the subpoena process to get information on your own vehicle to defend yourself in an incident.
However most cars in the world do not drain a whole charge each day (i.e.) only a small percentage of the 1.42 billion cars will drive 300 miles each day ! Besides, home roof solar can easily charge small EV cars. Please see this story : https://restofworld.org/2021/tesla-vs-tiny-cars/

Ask HN: What are examples of British Web Innovations?
Hello all. GB has the second largest number of Software Engineers in Europe, after Germany. I'm doing some research, so could you please comment on what British software products (libraries, frameworks, engines) for building the web do you know, and people behind them?

For example, for Node I think substack and TJ Holowaychuk (although he's not noding anymore) are British. Yet I don't know of any British innovation - elastic search, mongo, react, reducers, node, name anything -- doesn't come from the UK. You can include non-web software too but please indicate so (e.g., Arm was founded in Cambridge). What are your thoughts on why there isn't much British innovation in the field, especially considering there are such Universities as Cambridge and Oxford? Thank you.
Simple minded here. The fact that we don't know why Amazon pulled Clarence Thomas' documentary is problematic. Amazon seems too large to be pushed around against it's will. The continued speculation is understandable due to the lack of transparency. It would seem an honest company, presumably like Amazon, one of if not the largest company in the world, would have the courage of it's convictions and if they chose to pull it, to simply acknowledge the truth as to why. And if on the other hand there are extenuating circumstances why not state their are, even if for reasons of prudent corporate governance, they must not divulge those details. I, for one apparently lonely long time Prime supporter, would appreciate this level of transparency.
No, Sony pulled Cyberpunk 2077 after CD Project promised refunds and then forced Sony to do it on their end. Sony didnt like that.

Once again - Control by Remedy ran on base PS4 at 10 frames per second, TEN frames. Critically acclaimed, reviewers loved it and didnt tend to mention TEN frames per second on base consoles, not pulled from the store.
I can kind of relate to it however in my opinion being able to solely rely on public transportation in the city is still the best kind of freedom.

what's the value of bitcoin?

optimally positioned = few people bought it cheaper and now enjoy an excess of it and wants to start to spend it?

if its value is USD, then i'm afraid to tell you that it's worthless

the future is a world without currency, without money, a world where people freely create things, people freely use things, and people freely do things

if it becomes chaos, then be it, no need to fake things with "money" c'mon people, we can do better as a virus

imagine if molecules needed money to do things, we wouldn't even exists! haha
> "But when the development started things often went wrong. Frontend, backend, dev-ops and other teams, had to crank out hundreds of thousands of Jira tickets, and their quantity, not quality, were the only thing that counted. To meet a quota, teams could substitute senior devs for more juniors, skip testing steps to speed up agile velocity – the list goes on.”
For some definition of "deserving", I would agree. Certainly, everyone should have the tools and opportunities they need to build the life they want.

Society has limited resources. Until we manage the post-scarcity utopia, I would prefer my tax dollars go to someone who will use them to build a better life.
What's wrong with the people getting the most benefit paying a little more? They aren't paying for a dozen other vendors to fill in the gaps for things they go all in for.

Most of the people I have known that I would label as "freeloaders" seem to have some combination of developmental emotional abuse and mental health issues that are either not diagnosed or not properly medicated. They tend to become homeless of their own accord and tend to blame people for the relationships they destroy.

At first it comes off as entitlement when they assume free access to other people's property, time, and resources when those other people are trying to help. But after a long enough period of direct social involvement it becomes frustratingly clear the behavior is something like a passive non-violent anti-social behavior. It can be sad to watch. Its worse if they have children.

As a life-long space fan, and as a SpaceX fan going back many years, I'm super happy to see any and all activity in this area. For example, I was pumped to hear that Bezos was going to turn his full attention to Blue Origin!

> [Starship] is an enormous vehicle though, designed for a different purpose. It is like comparing a freight train to a Sprinter van, if that makes sense.

It is definitely enormous, but in my mind, its most fundamental purpose is to minimize cost to orbit. The other missions: landing on Earth, Mars and the Moon: are all dependent on and follow from achieving that main goal.

Musk always over promises, but there's at least a good chance that SpaceX will get Starship/Superheavy launch costs down below the million dollars per flight level.

In that eventually happens, what would Stoke's economic model look like?

Once again, I was delighted to read about this, and truly wish your company the best possible outcomes!
I had that exact conversation at my old job. They only started listening to me when some requests started timing out because of Heroku's 30 second request duration limit.

Same thing happened with memory consumption. The problem was ignored until we regularly had background jobs using > 4 GB of memory, causing cascading failures of our EC2 instances and a whole bunch of strange behaviour as the OOM killer sniped random processes.

> I honestly don't know all of the ethical commitments that the NYT has made. But I'm assuming that they are at least broadly following some standard of journalistic ethics [1]. I believe that journalistic ethics are a fairly standard part of journalism school, and that many of the reporters at the NYT have been exposed to them.

I understand you aren't sure what they've enumerated for themselves. The point is that they don't follow most of the most obvious standards one could conceive on a whim. If one had no formal knowledge of ethics, but chose to engage in a quick thought experiment in which one identifies "the basis of communicating truth", the NYT (currently) do not adhere to practically any beyond "factual".

Let's say they follow the generalizations in your wikipedia link:

> ...most share common elements including the principles of truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness, and public accountability.

Abject failure on:

- accuracy

- objectivity

- impartiality

And just a bit further down:

> ...the ethics of journalism include the principle of "limitation of harm." This may involve the withholding of certain details from reports, such as... information not materially related to the news report where the release of such information might, for example, harm someone's reputation.

Well the NYT article is an absolute rejection of this principal. (Not that you disagree.)

I'm not sure what ethical standards you do think they follow, but whatever conversation they had about whether to reveal his name (or the ethics of the article at large) clearly didn't emphasize honorable intent in good faith.

The most generous interpretation I can muster for their ethics revolves around some notion of, "for the greater good." But history is pretty clear that's an invariably evil form of ethics.

I have no doubt they think they're doing "good", but their rejection of objective standards puts them in the camp of "partisan propaganda", far away from "journalism".

Right. And the analogy also fails because buying Apple shares is as easy as selling them; what makes the destruction of all the original IM platforms so dumb is that it's a one-way move. Once you shut one down, there's no Ctrl-Z.

> I won the lottery and you can too. Luck has no color.

Maybe the Wish will help, or Intentionality. Prayer also popular.

Against this never lose sight of the fact that since 1971 economic mobility in this country has eroded as comprehensively as has the social safety net as has access to high quality public education not to mention health care.

Since 1971 wealth inequality has increased and we are now over the event horizon. So much wealth has been concentrated in the hands of the ultrarich that they have successfully captured both discourse and polity. The possibility space is defined by those who own the means of not just literal communication but the fabrication of consensus opinion and the boundaries of the political spectrum.

What was possible, like this, a generation ago, is literally orders of magnitude more unlikely today.

The status quo cannot hold, and it isn't holding. We remain on the brink of literal violent fascist coup and permanent kleptocracy. Take a look at the headlines from CPAC...

These are dark days.

Most readers here are part of the precariate 10% or aspire to be, the buffer zone of the rich-enough who zealously angrily defend the prerogatives of the very wealthy with whom they identify though they are no more of that class than the utterly disenfranchised permanent Lower Class who have roil and rage in Nomadland, controlled by the surveillance capitalism systems so many of us are building...

It's not going to hold. It's not holding.
I guess most people just don't know the numbers and go by gut feeling, mass media and what they learned in (primary/secondary) school many years ago.
"Nevermind the fact the only reason they think it's true is because I told them it's true."

Is that really the only reason? Could things such as major networks hiring ex-CIA personnel [1] contribute to that impression? Or maybe Reuters and the BBC acting as an arm of the UK foreign office [2]?

Edit: And of course the article itself cites some compelling reasons in the very next paragraph.

The Power of Quantum Complexity
Never been a fan of C style strings for exactly this reason. C style strlen is slow. In C++ strings, the size is included in the string structure. Also, fetching the distance between two std::string::iterator is fast. string_view::size should also be fast when that's available.
> Note: The hostess and her husband were both doctors. They had a combined income somewhere upwards of $200,000 a year

I find this a bit puzzling. If the couples are both doctors in the US, they certainly are making much more than $200K/year. The median salary of a generic doctor (internal medicine) in the US is ~$250K. I really wonder where this couple doctor is practicing at.

Other than that, I agree with the whole post. I came from a lower-middle class family (my dad died when I was 12; my widowed mom worked very hard and earned as much side income as possible--I remember having to send baked goods to nearby stores for my mom before going to school at 8am--to give me and my siblings as good an education as one can reasonably get in our third world country). Even to this day, I don't own a car. I live by $600/month budget for food, entertainment and other necessities. I am always saving and investing at least 50% of my income in case I become poor again.
IMHO education plays huge role. More often people decide to go to collage, then have a career, people also learn what a huge effort have to be put into rising child. On top of that there is so many fantastic things that person can do and have to give up at least to some extend if having a baby. In my opinion those are huge factors. This is a reason why on average successful, well educated people tend to have less children even though they have all the resources to have a lot of them.
