No, it really isn't. Look, I agree with you -- a company throwing their weight around feels super shitty. But leveraging your advantages is basically just business.

Netflix paying Roku to add their button on remotes wouldn't be anti-competitive in the same way that buying exclusive ad space isn't. And therefore Netflix realizing that they bring so much value to the Roku ecosystem that they can get their button without actually having to pay is good business. Like I hate it. But it's true.
how come if you cover the soil with cover weeds?
Correct. My wording could have been better probably. I would never put Android phone's face unlock in the same category as FaceID (nor their fingerprint vs TouchID). It's been a while since I've seen tech on an Android phone that Apple later implemented where the Apple's was just equivalent to the existing Android version, it's always a bigger stop forward.
Everyone needs to pick and choose which information/disinformation battles they want to take part in. Flat-Earthers, Chemtrail People, Moonlanding Hoaxers, these people aren't really worth anyone's time. How does someone else believing the world is flat impinge on your ability to live your life?

Now, I can understand wanting to combat vaccine hesitancy because that does tangibly affect society at-large (recent measles outbreaks). But most of the disinformation boogeymen you listed are just people with kooky ideas who aren't persuading society.

Lastly, it's okay to be wrong about things. The body of human knowledge is so vast that everyone is bound to be more wrong than right.
That doesn't make any sense. RIAA EQ is a serialization format, that is then decoded by your audio equipment. That's what the phono jack is for on a receiver, pre-amp, etc.

What people "hear" regarding LPs is generally their biases + their particular analog setup. My setup is going to sound totally different than yours, regardless if it's from a CD or an LP.

There are some cases where an LP had a better -master- than a CD for the same release, but that is due to the publisher/owner of the master tracks and not the actual medium itself.
Ah, I missed the part about it being temporary. It seems like quite a large and expansive judgement for a temporary measure. Usually they are small injunctions against a new law or policy, like the recent one against enforcing the bump stock ban.
The genius of man is that it uses any standard system pager, and so the navigation semantics (admittedly simple) are clear.

Info uses a dedicated document viewer, which, unless you use that frequently is novel and ideosycratic when used.

(This can be changed, but more painfully than with man.)

Info is a hypertext documentation system admittedly. It happens to have been invented pretty much simultaneously with another you may have heard of, the World Wide Web. A system with slightly greater user familiarity. And Free Software implementations.

Debian's 'dwww' is an interesting marriage of multiple docuentation formats. It presents manpages, info pages, Debian package information, and additional documentation, all categorised and indexed, and accessible through a web browser from your local system.

Including, as it happens, console mode browsers (lynx, w3m, elinks, links2, etc.). Which tends to amp up and standardise access to all of the above.

dwww is the one thing which makes info actually useful. Which is a shame as there really is some quite good info documentation, it's just buried under what is for most people, an impenetrable interface.
Bitcoin is the opposite of a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme relies on fraudulent accounting to work. The earlier investor is paid a 'return' from funds that come from the principal of later investors. The distinction between a Ponzi scheme and an honest investment pool is that the latter maintains clear and honest accounting of investor funds and ensures that each investor's principal and gains are accurately accounted for.

With Bitcoin, the transaction ledger is public and immutable, making it impossible to conduct a Ponzi scheme on the Bitcoin network itself. If everything is verifiable it becomes much harder to run scams.
> Roku alleges Google has asked it to favor YouTube music results from voice commands made on the Roku remote while the YouTube app is open, even if the user's music preference is set to default to another music app, like Pandora.

This seems reasonable to me - it would be super frustrating if I'm in YouTube, hit search, and Pandora pops up. Like what's the point of that?

You could get shadow-banned. If the ratio men:women is 4:1, they might prefer to have the top 50% of men get all the good leads and the bottom 50% of men talk to mostly bots or employees. It might make the website more interesting for women, which will drive engagement and earnings.

Remember also, the aim of the website is to keep you on the website, not leave the website and start a relationship. If they have a big part of the market, you will just have to put up and shut up. They might have tricks to keep you there and add a bit of noise when you seem to be dating someone long-term, like sending more explicit desireful emails to distract you with greener grass.
> we stop committing people to the garbage heap of humanity via religious-like shunning

There’s also religious-like forgiveness too. Some incredible acts of forgiveness were accomplished by very religious people. Pope John Paul II immediately forgave the person who almost killed him.
>The number of graphs of size n is 2^(n choose 2).

This is overcounting by many orders of magnitude. For example, there's only one graph with one edge, not (n choose 2). For n = 43 you're overcounting these graphs by a factor of 903.

Similarly there are only two graphs with two edges (either the two edges are connected or not), not ((n choose 2) choose 2). For n = 43 you're overcounting these graphs by a factor of ~200k.

For graphs with three edges you can have (1) a triangle, (2) three edges connected end to end forming a single path, (3) three connected edges forming a star, (4) two connected edges and one single, or (5) three unconnected edges. Compared to your count of ((n choose 2) choose 3), you're overcounting by a factor of about 24 million for n=43.

The total (over)count is going to be dominated by graphs with approximately (n choose 2)/2 edges, which intuitively is where I also expect the overcounting factor to peak.

This was tried with Slavery, it was very popular with the two political parties, and it led to a civil war, whose conclusion was: no, states do not get to decide on slavery, and additionally they do not get to secede if they disagree with the federal government.

That being said, I don’t think any of these three particular things would become the underpinning of a society or an economy, to the extent that slavery was in the antebellum South. So, there probably wouldn’t be another Civil War fought over it.

I think the 2nd amendment one is the most interesting one to me, since our interpretation of it has become so distorted with the passage of time, and since we don’t seem to be converging over time on a consensus (unlike the other two, which were basically contrived for political purposes in the last generation). It’s almost impossible to imagine what the founding fathers would think about its application today.
Other comments in other tickets said it might not be the complete solution, and it's not released on stable yet. I hope it works, but it might not.

It's also a bit indicative that this kind of issue is left standing for years. The desktop resize jank one similarly took years to resolve.

Amazing ELI5 on the value CEOs bring to the company.

Only difference: instead of coach Kyle making just _you_ feel great, he's actually running the US Olympic Junior Team and has to hire five or more coaches under him that make _you and your teammates_ feel great and perform well.

That's why CEOs get paid well: their impact has a much wider scope.

Sticky headers suffer from one glaring issue: If the page loads to an #anchor position, the sticky header covers up the anchor. Fix:

window.onload = function()

var titlebarfixcoverfunction = function()
{
if (location.hash.indexOf('#') > -1)
{
var titlebar = document.getElementById('title');
window.scrollBy(0, -titlebar.offsetHeight);
}
};
titlebarfixcoverfunction();
window.addEventListener('hashchange', titlebarfixcoverfunction);
}

>Systems built specifically for contextualization might not only support media literacy; they could also provide the data needed for fact-checkers to determine what to focus on, and could even help support the emotional literacy relevant to avoid harmful reactions to misinformation (from lashing out at loved ones, to terrorist radicalization).

All I'm hearing is techno-authoritarians building a system to further suppress dissenting views. Even "authoritative" sources are supposed to disagree; that's how science works.

I think the uncertain nature of reality is such that any "authoritative" source is likely to eventually make mistakes, and building rigid systems to hide alternative viewpoints is a form of social disenfranchisement.
This looks to me like it's high skilled jobs, specialist manufacturing.

> I feel like we truly have failed to a common, lasting, platform for storing arbitrary data.

As wonderful as What.CD was, and as much of a void as it left, it wasn't that. I'm increasingly convinced that any general purpose metadata store is going to be insufficiently granular for true specialists, while conversely, most specialist metadata stores are going to be overwhelming for a casual user. For example, What.CD's most successful successor has not one, not two, not seven, but forty-two different releases of Wish You Were Here. And even that is a small portion of the 768 versions listed on Discogs[0].

But does a casual user even care? Hell no. They'll keep listening to the CD they got at Wal-Mart some time in the mid-'90s, happily, and none the wiser. This only becomes a problem when, eventually, there is something that casual user does care deeply about – model trains, or Funko Pop! figures – but they're turned off (or banned) from contributing the site because they got in a flame war with a moderator over the omission of one particular re-release of Star Wars: Episode V. Über-metadata sites are either insufficiently granular (see: Wikipedia), insufficiently well-curated (see: Internet Archive), or inaccessible (in both meanings of the word; see: the hypothetical combination of all specialist, private filesharing sites).

As an end-user, I prefer Homebrew over MacPorts because Homebrew is simpler to get it installed and use in the terminal. MacPorts in other hand, takes some tinkering to get it working. It has problem detecting installed XCode because it was looking for a specific outdated version (this happened last month when I decided to give MacPorts a try and I uninstalled Homebrew before trying it out since both of them cannot co-exist together.)

It is likely that it is not the devs prefers it over MacPorts, it is likely that end-users prefers it and the devs are following what the end-users desires. Homebrew have huge catalog of software and libraries than MacPorts.
Anyone curious about the history of Zope should read [1] for how the Python web server landscape looked in 2001.

[1] https://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2001/papers/html/SRichter/...

I discovered Zope in late 2000 while looking for an open source web application platform. Somehow I heard about Zope and thus learnt Python version 1.5.

Zope seemed to be on the cusp of greatness. The Zope conference in Paris in early 2001 was my first tech user group meeting. (Was anyone else reading this there?)

I stopped with Zope in 2003. Then 7 years later got a strange sense of deja vu at a bank I joined, where its trading platform used a Python object database possibly inspired by Zope's ZODB.
You construct the same kind of false dichotomy that is so incredibly common among the but duh rich and duh poor blahblah do.

There are more categories than the ultra rich and the incredibly poor. Stop that.

A lot of people can save 10-20% in stocks (such as via index funds.) A lot of people would rather not do this and still complain and point sticks at "the rich."

What can you do?

"The reason is that being a shareholder only matters for those already making a ton."

Is simply wrong and nonsensical. I don't make a ton, I am not ultra rich, it matters a lot to me to be a shareholder. It matters because that way I get to make money when "they" do.
What a terribly not secure phone then.
No. That fork is significantly behind the current codebase and wouldn't work with the client driver we're currently using.
How about nobody does instead?
No. If I'm in YouTube I want Tidal to play music, not their janky YTM setup that can't give me quality audio even if I pick the video myself. At least make it a toggle for users to manage themselves vs hard coding it into the app.
Yes, but if your service didn't do this initially then you're struck..

Personally I see infrastructure as the thing that gets qualified people to productivity and keeps them productive (jobs or whatever form that takes), and I also expand the notion of infrastructure to include a society and community with effective education and healthcare to maximize the human capital of the group. Given this I see infrastructure and the various components of it as decades behind in the US and Apple would be smart to take the direction. Just consider the process of applying for an SBIR or finding a job or starting a startup or getting from SF to San Jose, etc.
There is some truly great info-based documentation. The GNU AWK User Guide comes to mind:

https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html

There's alot of information in there that is not in the manpage.

(I'm painfully aware of this as I tend to rely mostly on the manpage, and learn things every time (which is rare) I read the GNU docs.)

At the same time, the info interface and navigation remain completely opaque and nonintuitive to me.
Inequality as some level of uneven distribution is not a problem iff that distribution keeps the lowest percentile above poverty. In the real world this doesn't happen, because not only is the distribution not bounded for minimal fairness, it has been shifting by those who have capital to further push value upwards - so it's a problem that never self corrects.

Imho Cowen makes obscure arguments to inequality not being a problem because he is paid from the Koch empire (for at least a significant portion of his career w/ George Mason University) which has put in significant resources into developing multiple Economic arguments their their wealth and influence are not a problem.
I agree that your overall point is broadly correct, but I think that a good principle in internet discussion is to be "liberal in the evidence you accept, and conservative in the evidence you 'send'".

The overall thrust of the "there's too many sequels and remakes" argument is that recent cinema shows a staleness/creative exhaustion in the industry, which is relying on brand recognition to cover for its failings. One creator expanding on their animated shorts to make a feature film out of them (Office Space) or a filmmaker making a (relatively creative, I think) adaptation of Shakespeare (10 Things I Hate About You), doesn't really demonstrate that, IMO. Many of the other examples you cite do. Certainly people have been complaining about sequelitis in movies for as long as I can remember (30+ years).

My own impression of a big trend in film over recent decades is the decline of comedies, especially in the family comedy/romantic comedy sub-genres. But I don't have hard data on that either.

> But handling state efficiently is Java's weak spot. Objects are tiny fragments scattered around the heap.

All mainstream JVM GCs are compacting, but I agree that without “value” types, an ArrayList for example will point to objects that can hurt performance. But that’s why you profile, if a given part is a hotspot, then you can rewrite it as an array of primitives. But due to compacting, allocating objects randomly in C++ vs in Java, Java will likely win.

And valhalla is coming, and with primitive types, the JVM will have a way for that last piece of performance.
The idea of any system, much less a society and state, lasting for hundreds of billions of years in any recognizable version of itself is dubious. The idea of any relativistic society functioning as a thing over vast stretches of the observable universe is also dubious. The variations time and space would bring would make worrying about alien competitors beside the point.

But even granting those premises, any early-universe super-civilization would eventually be cut off from its own distant reaches by expansion. This would be true of any civilization that expanded to its observable limits.

Being a junior previously I derived a lot of benefit from light pair coding every now and then to learn something from a more senior developer. I have also been in code reviews where 2+ people are of equal relative skill, but have different approaches to a problem, and it almost becomes a stalemate or some kind of power struggle to 'be right'. 6 devs seems very excessive and an expensive use of time heh.
Last I used one, the Apple tv remote control sucks in comparison to Roku. No tactile directional buttons, I couldn't get used to the trackpad thing. No mute button. No "lost remote" button on the console to make the remote beep.

Also, I know many will disagree, but...no headphone jack. I don't like bluetooth earphones.
Noise is also a big part of the RIAA curve.

Almost all the noise on a record is high frequency...so by applying a strong treble rolloff most of it just disappears.
I gather there is still no improvement for Enum syntax. That's a pity. The bulk of proposals the community discusses on Evolution now seem esoteric to me. We're off discussing concurrency and function builders, and the syntax for enums — as common a language feature as it gets — is still awful.

Agreed. If I am within the YouTube app, I am expecting search results from YouTube. Showing search results from Pandora is just tainting those result.

If I want or search across all apps, I should be able to go to the Roku home screen and search there .

Airbus is known for making good software, they earned their reputation by releasing the first fly by wire airliner (a320) in 84, which forced Boeing to go this route with the 777.

Making safety critical software is a totally different world than what is seen on HN. The culture needed is safety culture and it is all about doing boring code, following strict coding rules, doing tons of documentation and analysis prior coding and a doing tons of review of tests. I don't think it will arouse interest here.
