> This explains part of the otherwise unexpected opposition to school vouchers by college-educated affluent Democrats and the support for them by rural Republicans in bad school districts, when the vouchers would allow students to escape bad school districts.

I'm aware of wealthy families wanting the voucher to throw toward private schools (they were never going to send their kids to public schools regardless). Wealthy families are of both political leanings.

Then there are the conservatives that dislike public schools because the teachers are in a union, or they believe teachers are liberals, or that they indoctrinate their kids into anit-Capitlist thinking, etc....

Really unfamiliar with the scenarios you paint.

There are many art forgers that have cranked out fakes that have fooled many art experts, i.e. they are truly indistinguishable. And yet, their value, once discovered to be a fake, is negligible next to the cost of the "original". So no, most of the value (at least to the market, maybe not you personally) is not in the technical quality, but in the provenance -- in that it's the "original".

Not sure about that. There is a hypothesis that what you describe is simply a fundamental property of matter:

The smoking gun is that labs in Wuhan were studying different coronaviruses in bats at the time the virus emerged. One of those labs was right near the seafood market which had one of the first documented outbreaks.

It's all circumstantial evidence of course, but that's really all you're going to get with a country like China. We can be damn well sure that they would never admit to the virus originating from a lab leak. To me, this is the clearest and most likely source of the outbreak.
If F-16s can do this, what exactly was the point of the F-35 (and possibly the F-22)?
This is entirely unlike high-temperature superconductivity, though. We knew superconductivity was a thing in some materials under a give material-dependent critical temperature. Looking for compounds with higher critical temperature is not a major shift, or surprising in any way. Why would any editor say no when someone writes “look, we’ve found a crystal with a high critical temperature”?

Had they published something along the lines of “we’ve seen this cool thing; we think it works that way; could anyone replicate this?”, there wouldn’t have been any controversy. But they did not offer any insight, their results were unreliable, and their interpretation was doubtful. It’s not because you don’t understand something that fairies must be involved somehow.
That's his point. The main value is the userbase and not the software itself.

Ask HN: Due to Covid Google is moving my data to Google US LLC how to object?
Google referred me to the Terms of Service and informed me that it will move my data from the EU to Google US. In the email it refers to a place in the terms of service where I can supposedly object. But I don't know where that would be.

Does anyone know how to make sure they don't move and abuse it? Even requesting to delete my account would probably not happen within the 30 day period. So they would probably first move, analyze and then delete.
Experienced it. Unrelated apps suddenly began to crash. Just did an update to the webview and it seems to be working.
This is the bigger concern. Their efforts at privacy between users is basically a joke and between users and bots its basically non-existent.

Lots of talk with respect to user privacy and discord, overlooks the distinction between a users privacy as a discord user (User <-> Discord) as opposed to the users privacy when communicating on discord (Discord User <-> Discord User or Discord User <-> Discord Bot)

I don't mean to imply that all criticism of RMS is invalid at all. If that's what you got from my explanation that his detractors fall into two separate camps, then I must not have explained it very well. Let me be absolutely clear, then.

Some people criticise RMS because they don't like the things he said for moral reasons, whether intuitive or explicitly thought through. Those people mostly act in a way that they believe is effective at stopping the thing they don't like. I support these people, even though I don't agree with them all the time.

Some people criticise RMS because they've been trained by the Skinner box that is social media to dogpile onto anyone who's the target of criticism, or because all their friends don't like RMS and they want to fit in, or because they've made a career out of outrage. I don't like these people and view them as pack-hunting predators.

With regards to the rest of the post, I feel like you're fishing for things to be angry at me for, on the basis of a fundamental miscommunication.
Discord hasn’t solved it anymore than slack, iMessage, teams, etc. The experience is more polished but it doesn’t do anything fundamentally special.

If discord shutdown tomorrow my friends would be annoyed and would just move to some other similar group chat + audio.

The value is entirely in the user base. I wouldn’t be on it if nobody was there.

> Really? How did you come to this conclusion?

Because that’s how every social network works. Here’s a thought exercise. Do you think Microsoft would offer $10B to buy Discord if they weren’t allowed to transfer over any of the existing accounts?

If it’s $10B worth of just software engineering, then that’s an easy “yes”. The realistic answer though is “no” because Discord is useless without the user-base.
I don't think the numerical comparison you want to make has any meaning at all, let alone something to do with the relative importance of the activities of trading vs. issuing stock.

The ratio of stock traded to stock issued can be anything from zero to infinity.

We could imagine having "high frequency trading" of car loans producing a huge volume and it wouldn't change the fact that the car loans exist because people need transportation.

You seem to be using the phrase "real art" as an unstated code word for physical art, i.e. paintings, sculptures, etc.

Is photography or digital art not art?

What do you think of http://deafbeef.com. Is that not art?

In any case, I would disagree that an NFT does _nothing_ to authenticate a physical art. While, to be sure, an unscrupulous NFT holder could theoretically swap out a physical painting it is meant to represent with a fake, a holder of a claimed-to-be-original painting surely has substantially more credence to his or her claim if they also hold the non-forgable NFT that proved they acquired it in a legitimate chain of transactions.
This is an example of a common antipattern in software: some piece of software fails to correctly implement something (here, modern HTML autocomplete="cc-exp-year"), and another piece of software goes through all kinds of contortions to work with incorrect or incomplete implementations with the result that it now behaves undesirably with a third piece of software. Specifically, 1Password has to do complicated guesses of what to fill where because many sites don't set autocomplete properly, so inevitably it will guess wrongly sometimes.

Other examples are problems with lock files and file versioning (because programs tried to roll their own when the operating system didn't provide them), and the complexity of parsing "HTML soup" and emails with all kinds of bizarre invalid syntaxes.

I can't offer a general solution, but if password managers simply refused to autofill to any field other than the one with the matching standard autocomplete attribute, web developers might start doing the right thing. (Do Safari, Chrome and Edge already do this? Only they have the clout to make it happen.) The user could still fill out a text box lacking the standard autocomplete attribute by right-clicking and manually selecting the correct field. Password managers should also get cheaper because their vendors would not need armies of developers adding workarounds for popular sites.

Somehow this kind of nonsense has become culturally acceptable in the software industry. If the car industry worked this way you'd have to take your car back to the dealer once a month to be patched to take account of constantly changing fuel formulations. Standards exist for a reason.

I doubt that, unless they're using a lot of proprietary GCP tech. A Microsoft-owned business using Azure to (most likely) save money is kind of an obvious move, and I don't consider it a bad thing.

Right, so it has nothing to do with the software and its value is entirely the network momentum. Reddit is a perfect example of how software can be made worse and worse while maintaining user growth.
In other words, it avoids "Tony Hoare's billion dollar mistake" in conflating reference types and optional types. Tony Hoare had a gut feeling that it was going to cause code messiness when he made all references reference nullable in Algol W (instead of going through and adding extra type rules and tracking for nulls), but it was a very simple change to the compiler's type checker. It was too hard to resist such a simple change that made the language more flexible, even if it introduced footguns.

In most languages without ML-like type systems, null is treated as a "bottom type", as if it were a subclass of all classes. This violates the Liskov substitution principle and results in an unsound type system.

When I was working on Google's indexing system, I was very excited to hear rumors that Ken Thompson and Rob Pike were working on a new language. When it was unveiled, I was pretty disappointed to learn that it repeated Tony Hoare's billion dollar mistake.

I think this is the definition everyone uses. I know the phrase from Google's BeyondCorp, which seems to be the first implementation of a zero trust network. [0]

However, some providers, such as SpiderOak, claim they are zero trust compliant, which in that case means that they cannot access your data, even if they were persuaded. In that sense, data is encrypted/decrypted solely on your own hardware.

What was attractive is that it had extremely low friction to onboard new members into a community. Click a link, type your name, and you are now a part of whatever community.

Compare that to skype where you had to download a whole piece of software, register a new account, go to your email to activate your account, click the link for the community group chat, and then you can finally start talking in a single channel.
I assume those data waivers are set up through deals between the telcos and the companies behind those applications. Microsoft certainly has the resources to arrange similar deals, but they seem to have given up on Skype years ago. Absolutely baffling, especially with the recent valuation of Zoom.

The issue is that we are entering a phase where secondary services are adding value on top of discord. Things like Patreon integration for content creators, numerous service specific bots and a growing number of VOIP related integrations (for example https://craig.chat/home/) make it harder to consider alternatives as replacements.
I have XPS's and MacBooks in my house. For the record, none of the XPS's have HDMI or USBA. They have for several years. That's a shame. But in addition, none of the other things you mentioned are worse on the XPS.

I bought one cause I prefer Linux, my wife got one because it was 1k$ cheaper than the comparable MacBook. She's a designer and the screen is 100% Adobe RGB coverage.

The XPS and MacBook, from a hardware perspective, are basically equivalent. Its a shame they both took the ports out.

Only if you consider single games; in repeated games a lower risk engagement (choose to draw or retreat rather than take a high chance of loss) will make sense.

The flight dynamics model won't have any data points for large parts of the flight envelope, so if your robo pilot exceeds tested limits we don't know what will happen, or even if control is recoverable. Experienced pilots certainly understand dynamic performance better than state space models -- the original learning platform! People learn jets in 100 hours, it remains to be seen how much training a machine takes.

Pulling 12G all the time also imposes stresses on the platforms that they were not designed for, so you'd probably want to ration that.

What I'm getting at is that sustainment of operations is as big a problem as individual engagements. You can loose a whole campaign by responding too heavily (or weakly!) to feints and probing.

This information was true a few years ago. Now, with modular JVM you do not ship a VM with the program. JVM by itself is lean and starts up pretty fast. You can also compile to native with GraalVM - this is a viable option if you want to write lots of tiny command line tools.

>I am not sure what exactly makes Discord so attractive. Let's for the sake of the argument say it is a low-latency noise cancellation technology.

Discord is not popular because the technology is advanced. It got popular earlier on because the UIs for alternatives were garbage and they nailed the ease of multiple servers/channels/etc.

The entire point is that discord could be easily reproduced from a software perspective. That won’t matter thought because the users won’t be on the new network and will have no incentive to switch.
Kind of unrelated but I just accepted a software developer position at Microsoft (Redmond). Any advice?

I previously failed twice at Amazon and promised myself to never ever do another excruciating Amazon interview. My interview at Microsoft was super nice surprisingly, questions were difficult but not as tricky as Amazon.
> so it has nothing to do with the software

Of course it does, because software is part of the overall customer experience that built that network momentum and is inexorably linked. Users would not have tolerated, promoted, and evangelized otherwise. It may not be the primary ingredient, but in Discord's case I think it helped.

Our highways are free because they're a public good (in the economics sense) and prone to monopoly pricing due to geographic constraints on competition.

While it isn't inconceivable that housing could be public, the same underlying economic rationale isn't there, and private housing works really well. You'd be solving a non-problem (or, to the extent that there is a problem, it's one that's easily addressed by simply increasing private housing stock) and risking a lot to do so.
Could MS really build the Discord tech stack themselves though? At first blush it might be possible in theory if you look at only the key algorithms, architecture, and compute needed.

But what about actually getting the engineering headcount to execute? And to build it with enough flexibility to experiment and adapt to users? And to pick technical challenges that will actually keep the headcount engaged?

Google Plus seems to be a pretty good example of a competitor doing a copycat, doing a decent job technically, but then the product fell apart. Plus didn’t hit Facebook-scale growth, but it was wildly popular with certain niches like the CS academic community. Imagine if Plus had channels (in addition to circles), less corporate emojis, and 100% private circles. Then you’d have most of Discord, no?

But Google didn’t build into Plus that ability to iterate. And the headcount got interested in other things like AI. And Alphabet got to join cookies through unified auth to get their ad targeting more competitive with FB. So the Googlers had their giant offsite in Maui and then let Plus die.

So I don’t know if the tech stack in this Discord deal is necessarily worthless. The user engagement is probably worth more, but the software is part of the whole organism.

The EU started this particular game of iterative prisoner's dilemma with the assumption of cooperation. That trust in was betrayed in the first round, and now we're seeing the reaction.
Considering the supply chains cross many borders, there is a good chance this will now escalate further, and total production capacity may well be harmed as a result, which is exactly why cooperation was the first choice. It may have been naive in a practical sense to assume that Johnson and, at the time, Trump would be capable of thinking two steps ahead. But getting burned on an assumption of good faith isn't exactly the worst thing in the world.
Plus, once the US, UK, and Israel are done, and with more capacity coming on-line, the spigot will turn to the EU and the difference may end up being far smaller than one might think from just extrapolating current data.
This is hair splitting, because the effect is exactly the same. The UK made sure not to export any vaccines until it has more than enough. This is exactly what the the US is doing, even if they use technically slightly different means.
