Yeah, that much was clear, just thought it might refer to a hidden option that triggers a funny message, but it didn't for me so perhaps it was a macOS' gzip thing or an ancient/recent gzip version thing.

I empathize - blockchain's benefits do suffer greatly from the behavior of many practitioners. It is wise to carefully evaluate...

However, doing even certain simple things, like securing time (https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/579.pdf), benefit from hardened consensus. Our background is in high reliability IoT infrastructure, so we got here not by bullchain hype, but by discovering and leveraging certain unique technology benefits that directly contribute to allowing solutions like Diode Drive to exist.
"Targeted advertising" may not be the best metaphor here...
> Newspapers should simply have a staff member read and approve every post.

You're talking about a lot of added cost for little added value. Newspapers aren't exactly swimming in money these days.
Just the requirement that one have valid payment mechanism deanonymizes most people, at least to the newspaper. That should tamper most of the worst behavior. The holdout jerks can then be banned in a way that sticks.
That seems completely reasonable, as local newspapers were never two-direction mass-communication before, but it's somehow harder to justify removing a comments section once you've decided to have it.
> IITians are often entitled, opinionated and in rare cases obnoxious.

I've worked with IITians and this is very accurate. They also refuse to consider alternate opinions, because if their opinion is not accepted, they assume that it would damage their careers.

I also know of one team that hired all IITians to boost their output. Lots of "white papers" but not much action. After a year, the whole group of IITians were upset because they weren't promoted, demonstrate low engagement with other teams and eventually left. It was funny to watch that team self-destruct because it went from the golden team to the team no division wanted in 12 months.
Thanks for letting us know - we will check out options...

If you don't like racism, sexism, and so on, you can always just let your eyes slide past those comments and focus on other ones instead.

But we see that the Inquirer wants to be proactively censorious.

Why? Economic reasons? A religion-like desire to police what they suppose is morality? A desire to avoid giving their political opponents more power?
Free speech sounds a lot like free market when you put it like that.

I mean, there's "technically" a free market, but advertising works and thus clearly it's possible for poor quality, expensive products to beat out cheap, good quality ones.

Same way, there's "technically" free speech. But if corporations can use their billions to trumpet specific politics only, then it's also possible for poor quality, expensive opinions and speech to beat out cheap, good quality ones.

Note: I am not saying the comments are good quality ideas, just making an analogy based on parent's comment.
IANAL

> How is that distinguishable from "What gives this place any spirit is sheisters.. Take that away by forcing <standard practices>"...

If there was any standard practice that could force sheisters to move elsewhere without negatively affecting the rest of us, I would stand by that policy 100%. Even within our standard systems, we tolerate a certain baseline level of fraud. Banks quite regularly work with fraudsters or worse and knowingly violate regulations (see: HSBC, Wells Fargo for high-profile cases). The regulated and the regulators appear to be somewhat cozy at times. But we accept this, perhaps because the value provided by these systems seems to outweigh their flaws.

As for cryptocurrencies: do they provide value to anyone besides the sheisters? Yes. Not everyone is convinced, but at least I can claim to have performed legal transactions with Bitcoin and Ethereum that I don't regret years later and that I wouldn't have done without those currencies, and that's enough to convince myself.

Would these things exist if KYC was strictly enforced on 03/Jan/2009? No. No, there would be no Bitcoin; it would be impossible to reach the audience which embraced it in 2009-2011. The ideas would likely not have spread beyond the cypherpunks, ideas which I personally think have enriched my life.

Should we put up a fight against scammers? Absolutely. Is KYC one way to do that? Yes, but please don't underestimate the cost (previous paragraph) nor overestimate its effectiveness (take a look at the list of coins on Coinbase and Robinhood -- both of which adhere to KYC -- and tell me that these are all things that a responsible company should be promoting to its average user).
You could use the same argument for digital piracy. There’s countless examples of people who have been caught and penalized for piracy.

> The Voynich Manuscript: clearly a language used to share thoughts, even though only the author (presumably) understood it.

The Voynich Manuscript has been referred to as a "personal shorthand" rather than a "language" quite often. "Language" is a specific term, and "being used to exchange ideas between people" seems to be part of the definition as people care to use it.

We do call large systems of grammar+vocabulary invented by one person "con-langs", which suggests they are "languages" — but we only call them that when those languages have usage guides published, such that other people could theoretically attempt to speak them. Before that happens, we don't really have a term for them. They're private thoughts in the creator's head. Do you need a term for that?

(What do you call hypothetical semantics underlying the random runic scripts used to decorate buildings in sci-fi movies, that only the authors know the meaning of — if there ever was a meaning at all? Intuitively, "language" is not quite the right term there. Even if there is a fictional language in that fictional setting, the representative samples of writing aren't necessarily valid samples of it — especially if the authors never bothered to actually construct a language for those samples to be sampled from.)

> the "artist" shuffling around a pile of salt whilst on his knees for hours each day

My argument there is that a lot of people are conflating something being "bad art" with that thing being "not art." But they don't do it all the time. They still use "art" to mean "art", as well as using it to mean "good art." They'll use "artful" or "evocative" to talk about "good art", but they'll use "artistic" to talk about any "art", good or bad.

Art, like writing or music, is an act of communication. Art is seemingly described as "good" when it's powerful; that is, when it successfully communicates something, perhaps impactfully.

That has nothing to do with aesthetics, of course. Awful images can be good art, if they're powerfully awful images.

Bad art, then, is powerless: it fails to communicate. But this still doesn't mean it's not art.

Art isn't opacity; doing a really bad job of making art doesn't make the thing less art. It makes it lesser art — lesser according to some societal ranking function — but that's not the same thing as becoming less like what people mean when they say "art."

People who are speaking unintelligibly (perhaps because they're very drunk, say) are still speaking, rather than "making noises." They're still attempting to communicate an idea through the medium of sound to others, and that's what makes that noise they're producing "speech." Intelligibility doesn't come into the question of "is it speech." It only comes into the question of "is it a successful act of speech."

A human born in the wild, though, with no exposure to other sapient minds capable of engaging in exchange of ideas, isn't "speaking" when they make mouth noises. They don't even have the concept of "speech." They're not attempting to communicate any ideas to others. There are no others.

Art is, AFAICT, the same.
Thanks I've never read 230 before. This is why I love HN. Who would have thought or considered to read it ? And of course we do want moderation because moderation done right will generate a consistent, knowledgeable (moderate even ?) editorial voice, just what 230 envisioned, not the messy internet we have now.
Once in a while someone posts a submission about the literary to HN (not really tech-news) and even though I'm not the most well-read, I always appreciate it. Thank you!
First off when you say:

> My team currently has very few docs for their codebases

Note this is the default state in most companies and organizations, so don't feel you have an especially bad deal.

> [...] but I've never really learned or put in the effort to WRITE good documentation myself.

There are no special skills required to WRITE docs, other than to simulate what info the ppl who will READ the docs might need. So in a way, your past experience reading good docs optimally prepared you to write docs now.

Overall I think you have an interesting opportunity to add docs to various projects you will be involved in (very worthwhile experience to write things up to understand, and help future onboarding of collegues, but also to help with extraction and exchange of info within existing team.

My recommendations would be to start in the following order:

1. README.md in each repo with ##Installing and ##Running sections (avg. dev setup should not require a meeting or support—REDME should be self sufficient)

2. Data models info (since code bases can be 100k+ lines of code and you have NO chance of understanding right away, you can start by looking the DB tables. Ideally export the schema from a production DB so have latest info. Look for tools to help you extract info and transfer to a shared spreadsheet where can be further annotated.

3. API endpoints. You don't need to document everything, but if you can get a list of all endpoints for a service it can be very helpful (`./manage.py show_urls` in Django if you have django-extensions installed).

4. System diagrams. This is not really for you as a beginner to do, but maybe you can ask some of the more expreinced teammates to draw an overview diagram of services and interactions (think box-levle diagrams like business people would use in slides, not detailed). You can volunteer to turn hand-drawn summaries into nice diagrams to use in docs (this kind of birds-eye overview diagrams are very useful for beginners, and generally low maintenance since don't have details).
To be very specific: if you’re not comfortable with implied teenage suicide and incest, give the show a pass.

Add The Athletic, a subscription service, to the pile. Early adopters were enthusiastic and polite in the comments section. Even just one year in, the tenor had changed significantly.

Hitler was not good, much less great, for technology. Germany was the scientific center of the world before the Nazis took power, so their successes are mostly attributable to inertia. The Nazis destroyed this on their own with the 1933 Nuremberg laws.

I've collected a lot of Gould's recordings over the years, but I never heard him interviewed or speak. I can see how Richter influenced him later in life, and Richter seems like the superior artist. There's a depth of soul that reminds me of Arthur Rubinstein. Gould's version of that anglo-Canadian accent is funny to hear again. We used to call it the National Theatre School accent. The CBC did one of their tedious hit pieces on it calling it 'Canadian dainty," but it has more cultural depth than the ceeb would give it. Gould may have seemed like a cartoon genius from a cultural backwater, affecting the reflected tropes of things he aspired to be, but still nobody has done Bach like him since. There are some pretty versions here and there, but I still think he set the bar. The whole national treasure preciousness around him is irritating, but for all his flaws, he understood what he was doing.
Well, there are hypo- and hyper-.
Local newspapers were the inspiration for comments sections, specifically the “letters to the editor” section.
Dem_Boys says " If life is in danger, why would I reach for this thing (a gun) that I don't know how to use properly?"

Thanks largely to movies you very likely can a gun. For example a double action revolver requires merely pointing and pulling the trigger. Even a blind man can shoot a gun:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=blind+man+shoots+assailant&

Often the mere appearance of a firearm in the hands of a victim is enough to convice an attacker(s) to leave. And shooting a firearm, whether anyone is hit or not, attracts all kinds of attention from neighbors and police.
You have to boil cornstarch to disperse it. Arrowroot can disperse at lower temperature but it's kind of obscure (around $3–5/lb but lasts a while). Powdered sugar might be a more practical option?

Yes, but I'm not sure if those people have thought through the ramifications fully. When we went permanent DST in the 70s, it was quickly repealed 383 to 16 due to the problems it caused.

Imagine you are an artist and you have your own space, maybe a small table at the fairgrounds where you are selling your pictures from.

Would you allow random people to attach notes to your pictures -- the notes that everyone who wants to look your pictures would see? Or will you say, "this is my table and I decide what goes here"? If the later, does this make you undemocratic authoritarian?

It is not just "the powerful" who "get a microphone". Anyone can speak out. There are tons of places where we one comment on articles -- we are on one of those. And getting your own site is pretty easy, too.
I don't understand how Metakovan has $69mm, like the accounting doesnt match up.

Metakovan buys to lets the B20 digital fund own art assets. The B20 fund only collected like $3mm dollars and the rest is just a floated marketcap of B20 tokens.

So is Metakovan just going to pay for the art piece personally and just arbitrarily transfer the piece to the B20 address? Like basically B20 itself cannot pay for it, and the auction house isn't accepting B20 tokens.

Its cool Metakovan has so much money. There have been plenty of opportunity over the last few months to turn $3mm into $100mm, let alone over the last decade in crypto. So it isnt outside the realm of possibility that he has that much.

But if he doesnt pay, does Justin Sun get to complete the purchase and get it?
I don’t know what that means.
Tesla is literally the largest selling EV maker in China.

And if CCP simply starts attacking foreign auto-maker based on pretences based on pretences. Then the US have a significant interest in paying back China auto and battery makers in equal measure. And European car makers and companies also have to seriously ask them-selves when its gone happen to them.

The deals about how the car market is set up, is being made between countries and are part of international agreements.

> Maybe is because only paid subscribers are allowed to comment.

That's certainly not true for all substacks. Authors choose whether each post is paid-subscriber-only or not, and publicly visible posts can be commented on by unpaid accounts.

Maybe Substack comments are better because they represent a narrow audience (people interested in the output of a particular writer). Generally it is up to the author of the substack to moderate its comments.
That's great. Then show some examples of that. My point was that the examples in the linked video were meh at best. The map's resolution was useless in functionality. The texting example was also weird, in that I don't want every other person in the room to see my texts. Things can be fun, but bad examples just don't do it justice.
Why does any of what you said disqualify them as a startup?
The next evolution of such killing tech will be AI capable but remotely controlled systems.

Its time governments around the world invest in quality gamers to help them fight their battles.

I can't help but think, in a war between two nations fighting exclusively with such tech (not too far fetched for my generation or my kids generation), war itself becomes comical and essentially a measure of economic strength. How quickly can you build these robots and how quickly can you deploy them.

Imagine a general shouting orders over a bunch of acne-faced teenagers trying to win a war for his country.

It's bad for branding; the Inquirer is hand-wringing about having their name and logo next to things that they don't want to defend. This kind of organization really shouldn't be in the comment business at all, but got convinced it was necessary in order to keep up with the future.
Its not 'junk'. The sats are all under control, do active avoidance of SpaceX works with other sat providers (ESA, NASA and so on) to avoid crashes.

Each sat is designed at end of live to have enough fuel on board to deorbit itself safely.

The 5 year self drop is only relevant in case a sat a has a failure. In such a case it is in a known orbit and can be avoided.

The US and soon Europe are actively tracking object and multiple companies are working on it. Europe is also working on a laser to measure with high accurate move dead objects.

The first garbage truck missions are already planned for dead objects.

Space junk is a problem and need to be taken seriously. But people need to seriously stop with the panic and bringing up Kessler syndrome in every single discussion as some sort of thread for global civilisation that is imminent.
Similar story: I finally created an account last week and after a few minutes of looking around, I tried to follow 1 person and got locked out. It requires a phone number to the unlock the account now. Just feels like gratuitous extortion of personal data. Also, seriously asking: Why does it even let you create an account with email if it will force you to give a phone number anyway?
I use the Firefox "Temporary Containers" addon (and Multi-Account Containers for permanent things). New tabs open in a temporary container, a few minutes after each is closed they delete all cookies/local storage/history/etc. Basically does what you're looking for AFAICT.
I wanted to close an account from a credit union in the States, mid-pandemic. I called, they said to email a support person. The support person told me to write a letter, photograph it with my identity card in the picture, and send it over. It felt strangely surreal.
> The rule of 3 doesn't apply to C++ native polymorphic types and your statement is so far out of left field I'm guessing you don't do much C++ development.

First: I've done professional C++ development since 1996. Fulltime, with just a smidgen of Java in a couple of places. So your guess is completely mistaken, as is your opinion of where I'm coming from.

Second: The post I replied to never mentioned "polymorphic", so I interpreted "value" as your claiming that you couldn't treat a pre-C++11 class as a value type, which is clearly a bogus claim.

I do mostly embedded systems. I do use polymorphism, but most of my objects cannot be cloned (private, unimplmented copy constructor and assignment operator), and the only collection they live in is a fixed-sized array.

If I had to do your Cat example, I'd probably have Animal's copy constructor call a protected pure virtual clone() method. I understand the slicing problem, and that a slice is not what you want.

I confess that I don't understand how type erasure helps with the copying problem, nor how std::function uses type erasure.
I think it works out in my benefit. Yes I've done a few late nights and logged on for an hour some weekends to fix something real quick, but those I think are outweighed by all the days I dip out at 4pm if I'm at a good stopping point, or the 1.5 - 2 hour lunches some days. I'm quite happy with the arrangement, especially the part where I can count on my paycheck always being about the same even if I was sick or on vacation that pay period.
To me it sounds like the new liberalism couldn't be farther from the classical libertarian / liberal values, that's why it's sad when that word is used.
I don't love the IP ownership rules, but I feel like it should at least be acknowledged, in tech one of your job functions is literally to create IP. Construction workers and teachers, not so much.
