My guess on "When you build brand equity elsewhere, the duopoly become better channels":

I think it means "Don't build your brand on a Facebook business page or Youtube Channel. Build it on your own site (or whatever), and promote it on Facebook and Youtube."

I run an Eero with Eero Secure because it works well enough and I don’t want to mess around with manual firewall rules and pi-hole porn blocklist’s because that’s what I do all day.

I’ve tried everything else. NextDNS was another good option but required too much fiddling and client configuration.

With Eero I just set up device profiles with porn and malware filters and time schedules and I don’t have to touch it.
If it is a reasonable conclusion from the way the person's workplace is structured, and the way their coworkers judge their coworkers, I don't see how it reflects the person's purported transphobia, but rather the bigotry of their coworkers.

20 years ago I had no problem having three to five conversations running in private chats mediating between guild members, keeping notes about them so I could remember for next session and still grinding XP in demanding highlevel areas of an MMORPG.

Let me add to the rant. I complained to the Swedish Data Protection Authority (IMY) twice about such school apps. Their answers were consistently "we don't have the resources to pursue this case".

With such a weak regulatory environment, the result is fairly expected. GDPR and data protection is not just a Google and Facebook thingy. My privacy needs to be respected by both big and small players.
Neither Google nor Facebook cancelled anyone's talk in this case.

That's sort of a ridiculous standard. What counts as "corporate backing?" The Intel/AMD chips in your servers? AWS/GCP/Azure that hosts them? The cable companies that own the fiber your data moves over? Businesses don't, and never have, existed in a vacuum. Why draw the line at frameworks like React?

Generally, yes. Most companies will go through splits long before that, turning every share outstanding into two or more shares (usually with half the value) on a predetermined date. Having a very high stock price is actually kind of inconvenient, as it makes it hard for random day traders to afford.

I was on vacation a couple years ago, and in some downtime I was just scanning PRs awaiting code review, because I am bad at work/life balance. Lo and behold, there was a PR ready to go that would have exposed students directly to a third party. A reputable third party, but a third party nonetheless. It had the requisite votes but the user had not merged it. I very quickly threw up a blocking review and called my boss.

I made quite a stink about it to my boss, but he didn’t seem to think it was a big deal. I went up the chain to his boss, and he also didn’t see what the problem was. At this point I call my bosses boss and basically beg him to talk to legal about it. He does, and they put the kibosh on the whole thing right out the gate. I’m sure I burned some political capital that day, but in my book at least it was well worth it.

Hanlon's Razor in full effect. Even then though, I know these people well and know they’re not dumb, the way the web is structured makes it really easy to expose people and not even realize it.
The article series Modern SAT Solvers: Fast, Neat, and Underused[1] argues that we don't use generic problem solvers enough in our daily engineering work.

A generic solution won't beat a hand-optimised specific solution, but if you're good at phrasing your problem in the right way, you can get 80 % of the way there with 20 % of the effort by using a generic solver.

Z3, being an even more generic SMT solver rather than "just" a SAT solver, should allow you to do even more with less.

I've long wanted to integrate this type of solver into my workflow more, because I think that if I can make it into more of a habit, it would provide insane leverage for prototyping. Does anyone have experience using these techniques for that?

On the contrary, my criterion for distinguishing between organic and artificial interactions is exceedingly simple: you either got paid for the interaction, or you didn't. This distinction is made not "somehow", but explicitly, at the moment of recording the interaction.

A distributed consensus network would be an ideal medium for this hypothetic model, as there would be no single intermediary able to fiddle with the interaction counts, and everybody would be free to crawl the resulting social graph using whatever algorithm their user agent provides.

But don't we face a huge collapsing if people stop considering this huge amount of dollars still have the same value than 10 years ago ?
You can write a cloud function to automatically run when you go over the budget and shut down billing. They provide code for doing so in the docs:

I'm not sure if that's what you meant by "manually catching a pubsub" -- you have to manually set up the script once, but it will run automatically when triggered.
This seems to be happening everywhere and it's infuriating. A salaried job for an educated professional barely lets you save anything, and at this rate the only chance of retiring will be if you get a decent inheritance.

"In the marketplace you’re not expected to be aware, you’re expected to be efficient. Efficiency is a quality of machines. Machines are more efficient than human beings. Because efficiency is required, you become more mechanical. And as you become more mechanical, your awareness disappears. And your awareness is your real being. By efficiency and mechanicalness you may succeed in earning more money, more power, more prestige, more respectability, but you will lose yourself."

Sure, I don't really disagree with any of that; that this entire "Muslim test" works in the first place is because it substitutes it with a group that is disadvantaged in some way, and it "feels more wrong".

But it's still "punching", whether it's punching "up", "down", or "side-ways" doesn't strike me as especially important. Maybe "punching down" is "more bad", but IMHO both are bad and we shouldn't do either. Yet it's still not only commonly done, but also socially accepted. "stop whining, it's not as bad as [..]" doesn't make it okay (not what you said, but some people have, indeed, this is essentially what the entire "#NotAllMen" meme is).
In general MDM provisions both the spyware and the configurations/client certificates necessary for internal resources. With some effort you might manage to unbundle the two. But just wiping the machine and freeing it from MDM only nets you a normal off-the-shelf machine. You aren't getting at privileged resources with it anymore.

Absolutely. I wouldn’t dismiss a couple of day’s sprint. I’ve done those myself and accomplished a lot. Short-term “stress” and alertness have been evolved to be a very useful feature.

You just have to realize, like a good night out drinking, that you’re trading it for something in the other end.

Azure groups most things into resource groups which greatly simplifies things.
Not op but two reasons would be:

1. The computations are distributed enough that there is no one hot loop

2. Go is shit at integrating with other software without IPC, ipc could be infeasible or have too much overhead, it also complicates building / bundling / shipping a lot

Obscura No More
I think this section of the readme speaks to that:

Is this supported?
Short answer: no.

We've made Cinder publicly available in order to facilitate conversation about potentially upstreaming some of this work to CPython and to reduce duplication of effort among people working on CPython performance.

Cinder is not polished or documented for anyone else's use. We don't have the capacity to support Cinder as an independent open-source project, nor any desire for it to become an alternative to CPython.

Facebook is basically just open-sourcing their changes to CPython, in order to make it easier to work with core CPython developers. For a company of Facebook's size, migrating to PyPy would probably be have been a much bigger endeavor than simply forking CPython. Since the goal of this open-sourcing is to improve CPython rather than to attract people to a competitor, I would interpret this work as "Facebook investing in CPython" rather than "Facebook investing in a CPython alternative".

I'm a bit late, but I suspect the poster is referring to a theoretical city type called a charter city[1], much pushed by the economist Paul Romer.

None have been built, although both Madagascar and Honduras briefly considered the idea. The theory is presumably inspired by Hong Kong, but obviously Hong Kong wasn't set up with any such purpose.

Doesn't seem to be totally opaque to me.
Yes, well aware. I'm not sure if you actually looked at the code on that page but you have to catch the pub sub in the deployed cloud function in order to shut down billing on the project/account. This is precisely what I was referring to.
No, you misunderstand. They are optimizing for what they think will get them success, not what will actually get them success.

> And yet it's this agency that created such a thing as incels.

No, incels were not created created because women have agency in who they date. What toxic nonsense.

And also, you still haven't put forward any changes you'd like to see to remedy the situation as you see it. Bring solutions to the table if you think there is a problem.
> We don't know the context, but as to your second item... when did denouncing white supremacy become something controversial?

We do know the context. It was in the article. And without taking sides on this issue, just to clarify - the original question "debated" wasn't an ask to denounce white supremacy, it was the question of whether "we live in a white supremacist culture" and whether "white supremacy exists at basecamp", which are both very different from blanket denouncing white supremacy.

(And just to be super clear - this did lead to being asked to denounce white supremacy, and I get the impression the employees considered the response to this request inadequate, though in follow ups Jason did denounce white supremacy. I think the context of when/how this was asked is important, and luckily we do have it.)

There is a booked called "the millionaire next door" that is a good read.
I am surprised to hear that commenters consider a person with a closed Google/Facebook/Amazon account of being able to clearly know why it was closed and how to remedy that situation.

I have read many HN articles and pleas for help describing the exact opposite - a cancelled/blocked account and no proper explanation.

Of course in this gamed scenario, both parties claim the above! Ludicrous.

The same as it is not expected by anyone to know how to ride a bike or drive a car. Someone has to teach you or you have to go and take a course.

Same with any technology, you should read first all the documentation that there is, watch all the videos that AWS releases every year for free where they explain in detail every service that they have, and try to explain the best practices of it - this is all for free, or you could spend $1000 for a course, instead of risking to lose $10.000.

If you jump in to the water without knowing how to swim, and then get angry at the water because you drown - well...

After 18 years of age you become a grown up, because your parents are not responsible for you anymore. You become responsible for yourself. That is what distinguish a child from a grown up.

Of course a parent needs also to tech you responsibility and what it means.

Mine for example never did, and I had to learn life the hard way. At first I was blaming others, but then I realized that to really grow up, I need to stop blaming others and start owning my mistakes.

So, it is not expected for anyone to know everything, but it is expected that if you want to learn something new, you need to first research the topic.
> what an absolute debacle that was for the Internet

You make it sound like it ended the Internet or something. One could also argue (with only similar level of hyperbole) that it was sendmail which made the Internet a success. Obviously the truth is in between, but lets give credit where credit is due. Sendmail served us well in its time. It's not inherently the fault of its developers, that the Internet evolved to a much darker place over time.
> A generic solution won't beat a hand-optimised specific solution, but if you're good at phrasing your problem in the right way, you can get 80 % of the way there with 20 % of the effort by using a generic solver.

Using generic solvers is especially useful, because when the problem slightly changes, you don't need to re-write your hand-optimised specific solution from scratch.

Generic solvers also naturally make you separate the specification of your solution from your method of finding that solution.

With hand-crafted approaches, almost always the implementation (of the solver) becomes the de-facto specification. And it's hard to tell which accidental behaviours of the solver are now being relied on by other parts of the system or by users.

I have more experience with (Mixed) Integer Programming, but the same principle applies.
So far even the screenshots Signal posted contradict and disapprove Signal's story, and are in line with what facebook is saying.
Black is an overloaded term. It’s a race and an ethnicity. If you were to write about black people in Africa, it would be nonsensical to capitalize it because black doesn’t communicate any shared identity in that context. The right granularity is national, ethnic, or tribal.

But Black is a cultural identity in the context of the United States. Blacks, or African-Americans, are ethnically distinct and have shared history, culture, and language. In 1840, almost all blacks in America were slaves. In 1950, almost all blacks were descendants of slaves. At either time, almost all of them would have spoken English as their first language. At either time, most would have been born in the American South. Most importantly, at either time would have identified with each other on the basis of those shared traits.

Whites, on the other hand, are comprised of distinct ethnic groups and had their own communities throughout American history. Go to any major American city and you’ll find neighborhoods that are historically Italian, Irish, or German.
I think I'm going to save this whole thread as "why zero friction micropayments are never going to happen".
Are you being sarcastic?

> I think the big problem is that usage collection is a few days out of date, at least for GCP. Autoscaling can react in seconds to increased load, but it takes about 3 days before that shows up on your cost reports.

That does not sound like a good reason, but more like a crappy implementation of usage collection.

I don’t see why a bunch of Google engineers can’t implement real-time billing properly, and see no reason to defend their inability to do their job.
> As the article points out: Every other cloud does this!

No, they don’t, the article is misleading if not technically wrong (since they use “and/or” to link billing caps and better whole-project deletion, the latter of which mitigates a subset of the problem but doesn’t address accidental unbounded spend from a project that you want active at some level) and the same general class of complaint is raised for the other clouds on this issue; the frequency of the complaints seems to vary (ordinally, but not linearly) with usage of the various clouds.
Although colonialism played a role, 'it started' before that.

It's fair to at least 'talk about' the 'pyramid of hate' and maybe 'believe in it' so as to 'make a point'.

But I don't think it's ok to accuse regular, well-meaning employers of 'holding up systems of White Supremacy'.

It's also basically tone-deaf for an executive, facing a 'sensitive moment' to challenge claims of racism with 'reverse racism' - even if the executive might have a rhetorical point - it's just going to inflame the situation.

I think the execs should have basically 'not acted out of contempt', said some conciliatory things and moved on. Even if they had a legit point to make, they're supposed to be 'bigger than that'.

So I'm not sure if it's worthwhile to dig into the rhetoric, but rather, they should have just found a way past the issue.

Finally, it's a good example of how toxic this stuff can be.
