Unlike latinx, people actually use the skin-tone emojis. I see them used quite a lot, actually. You can disagree if you want, but usage states otherwise, and I'm glad that we're adding emoji that actually get used.
Well obviously they're not going to say "drive over the posted speed limit on public roads". "too fast too furious" with a "professional driver, closed course" disclaimer at the end should be enough. After all, there's nothing wrong with being fast and furious on a racing track ;)
HN comments, by and large, are extremely polite, and people are open to discussion, criticism, etc without resorting to insults, in my experience. I don't really see the sort of complaints brought up in the post here, well, ever, outside of the rare ghostly, semi-transparent comments that have already been flagged or filtered.

You don't have to spend long on Reddit, Youtube or Facebook to really appreciate just how nice and non-combative it is here. Maybe it is just the relative difference from those sites' comment sections that blind me to how many assholes are regularly posting on HN, but I really don't see them.

Admittedly, as another comment pointed out, the further it gets away from tech, the less informed the comments tend to be (the recent thread about mystical experiences and psychedelics had the level of rhetoric and nuance I'd expect from a teenage Reddit capital-A Atheist on the subject, for example). But that's fine, it's not where I come here for.

Yes, iterators are typically a hard[1] problem in Go. I think this essay[2] describes perhaps the closest lazy eval iterator pattern in Go, which is much more complex to write than languages like Python.

> I've never used Snapchat, but my understanding is filters are 1st party content: created by Snapchat themselves. That is why this case doesn't get 230 protection.

Not always true w.r.t filters. A majority of the filters that users are shown by default (Dog with floppy ears, pink cat, white cat, face distortion, etc) are first party content created by Snapchat themselves. But there is a "marketplace" where new filters can be created and downloaded that's included with the snapchat application.
Yes, that particular case was one of what I had in mind as one of many valid examples, it's the largest one but there are many others.

The receiving instutition(s) could safely assume that the message is actually from Bangladesh Bank and whoever was sending them has the authority to act on their behalf even if it was not true. If Bangladesh Bank allowed hackers to send messages in their name, they are still fully responsible for their content, the recipient does not have necessarily to verify anything (for a counterexample, consider the legal risks involved with not verifying who has the authority to sign for a large international contract) unless a specific bilateral contract specifies that - like in the Bangladesh 80M case, there's no blame or risk placed on the message recipient/executor (Federal Reserve Bank of New York), they had the rights to assume that the orders were from Bangladesh bank, and all the losses from that case were solely on the Bangladesh bank. In all the major cases there have been lawsuits or threats of them - because why not try - but the general precedent is that those lawsuits fail and the recipient is reasonably safe to make that assumption.

In a similar manner, if the SWIFT infrastructure itself was hacked and fraudulent messages inserted (this has not ever happened AFAIK), you still can assume that the messages are valid, and that in that case the liability (insured!) for any losses would be on SWIFT.
In my view, "children" are used here, because the topic is school apps. On the other hand, one thing special about children is that we have specific laws to protect the privacy of their school records, namely FERPA. This also provides a potentially useful attack vector that the rest of us don't necessarily enjoy. This problem might lend itself to a class action FERPA lawsuit against the school districts that have released the information.

I'm going to assume without being a lawyer, that sending out school data is a violation of Federal law.

Why does the law matter in this discussion? They just wondered whether there were any public transcripts, didn't bring up any laws at all.
The lower court also misunderstood it, that's what this decision is about.

> The panel reversed the district court’s judgment dismissing on the ground of immunity under the Communications Decency Act (“CDA”), 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1), an amended complaint brought against Snap, Inc., a social media provider. [...] The district court held that the CDA barred the plaintiffs’ claim because it sought to treat Snap, Inc. “as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” [...] In short, Snap, Inc. was sued for the predictable consequences of designing Snapchat in such a way that it allegedly encouraged dangerous behavior. Accordingly, the panel concluded that Snap, Inc. did not enjoy immunity from this suit under § 230(c)(1) of the CDA. [...] The panel reversed the district court’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) dismissal, and remanded for further proceedings.

So I think the author article is correct that if other courts have been making similar mistakes, this appeals court decision could help.

Is it? Your line of thinking is really confusing to me. The likelihood of this happening by accident is effectively 0%. Even if it was intentional, this makes even less sense. Because then the person would not only have to find some prions to put in their vape, they would also have to inhale it themselves to then blow it into other people's faces?

It’s a sign of elitism to have this much contempt for internet comments. The internet is not academia or your fancy hierarchical tech job, it’s a place where anybody of any ilk can have a say. Yes there will be wrong comments or mean comments but that’s just because you’re amongst the people and the people are imperfect. Yet it’s the masses of people who form the audience of this site that make this site so valuable.

If one cannot get over their contempt of bad internet comments then it might be better for their stress levels to stick to reading academic journals or other elite publications. Much higher ratios of nice/correct opinions there.
This absolves the driver from the responsibility of using their vehicle safely. When you are in a car it is your responsibility to not drive it recklessly, end stop. I don't see how Snapchat is at fault, even if the app is boneheaded.

The real fun will begin when some new technology comes along that appears similar but operates differently from what it's replacing, leading to complications with the vision systems. We already had a traffic-related version of this happen: when LEDs began replacing incandescent bulbs in streetlights, engineers had to add heaters to make up for the fact that LEDs didn't melt the snow that accumulated on the housing.
What checks and balances exist on the board? What mechanism does the board have to ensure a sufficient diversity of ideologies?

I've seen news outlets describe the Oversight Board as a "Supreme Court" of sorts. With the US Federal Judiciary, there's a mechanism by which judges are appointed by democratically elected bodies (setting aside the debate around how different elected bodies are composed). As a result, we have some modicum of ideological diversity in the Courts; you have originalists, "living Constitutionalists", and everything in between. The balance experiences shifts every few decades, but by and large it's remained a balanced body.

If the Oversight Board really is a "Supreme Court", how can we trust that its composition will be made up of the right balance of perspectives? If the board members elect new board members, what happens if the board members become increasingly homogenous and create an endless negative feedback loop of self-selection[1]?

I had a great-grandfather who was in the SS, in one of the divisions that wasn't really known for their good deeds to say the least. There is a journal which he wrote, I have yet to gather the courage to read it. All I know is some vague stories that go around in the family but from what I gather it isn't probably too pretty what he did.

It's typical that most people will tell you their grandpa was in the resistance, rarely they will tell you that they collaborated.
3 or 4 inches seems a tad on the low side, but then again I remember somebody giving an example of a US tilting train being barely faster than a conventional European train on a similar curve due to more conservative standards prevailing across the pond.
In Germany, up to ~5" (130 mm) are permissible on the main line network. In theory and exceptionally, even values up to 6" (150 mm) are possible, although haven't really been used in practice so far as far as I know. The maximum speed for trams/streetcars/light rail is often based on a maximum deficiency of 150 mm, too.

Tilting trains in Germany can use up to ~12" (300 mm) of cant deficiency, but then again in Germany they really seem a dead end so far.
I don't understand if this post is exclusively about people who think that others are responsible for them not having sex, or about all those who don't get sex.

I come in the latter category, and I don't think anyone needs to sympathize with me. The reason for me never having being in a relationship is exclusively due to issues with me, some that I have/had control over, like weight, grooming, and some that I have little/no control over, like looks, mental issues, height.

It would however be nice if people didn't ridicule/look down upon lonely men, and if society wouldn't assign value to a man solely based on what he can provide to his family.

This makes sense if the disease propagates linearly like bacteria on a petri dish. But it probably doesn't.

Meanwhile the main fire is only stopped by water or other major geographic feature.

I didn't say you were racist. I said you used every braindead trick in the book that racists employ to pretend that we're dealing with hurt feelings instead of a real problem.

It's actually quite difficult to tamper with a car. You have to find the car in an unattended and out of sight place. That opportunity isn't available for high value targets, and doesn't scale to 100k cars.

In contrast, there are tens to hundreds of thousands of popular car models sold every year. Eg 55k Ford Focus sold in the UK in 2019. https://www.statista.com/statistics/463148/ford-focus-annual...

Just a DOS attack would require every car to be taken by tow truck to the garage or visited by a tech to patch it, and the resulting reputational damage would be huge. I'm sure Ford/Toyota/etc would pay a ransom to avoid that.
Bridge is a game where you sit directly across from your partner, but the rules say you are not allowed to communicate with them. There are probably hundreds of things one could do (gestures, coughs) to signal. Good on the bridge community for catching this, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this kind of thing is actually relatively common.
This is strictly a ruling that the company can be sued. They had moved for dismissal, claiming that the facts as alleged couldn't possibly support a finding of liability, and the appeals court here is only saying that the plaintiffs can proceed to gather facts by getting documents from Snap, deposing some of their employees, etc.

This ruling isn't about whether Snap did or didn't play a role: just that the plaintiffs have stated a plausible argument that they played a role, and are entitled to build their case.

I generally consider myself fairly good at gathering evidence of self inflicted problems, but I’ve worked at places where the worst offenders never really admitted hey have a problem. Once you involve the ego, people can feel an existential threat when you tell them the thing they are good at, the thing they enjoy doing, is hurting everybody.

We tend to develop coping mechanisms to deal with our own flaws, but everyone else can find themselves adapting to the new circumstances fairly suddenly.
So the majority of people are yellow, and yet we still have black/brown characters (Bleeding Gums Murphy, Apu, Carl, Dr. Hibbert, etc) and most East Asian characters were given almond shaped eyes.

I've finished my 2nd viewing of Blade Runner:2049; the replicant K buys an AI(-ish) holographic program that presents itself as a beautiful, loving wife, her name is Joi. Think about that, robots buying robot love (I know it's a movie, work with me.) Comes the turning point, they have to run. Joi has been a constant companion to K all this time, if the bad guys get access to her "memories", they have access to everything K ever did, saw, everywhere he went. You have to destroy the console, she said. But that means if anything happens to the remote, you'd be destroyed, gone forever, he said. Break the antenna too, she said.

On first watch, I thought, awww, semi-sentient AI fumbling toward love. On second watch, I thought, there's nothing here that replicant K doesn't want. He wants to destroy the console. He wants to destroy the antenna. That it came from her voice doesn't change that, especially not when the advert for Joi - a Wallace product - is "Everything you want to see, everything you want to hear." There's no AI in love, there's only K, has been all along. Joi is an extremely well-adapted product.

Ranking 'quality' is tough because it has multiple dimensions and aggregating multiple kinds of utility is problematic, see

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow%27s_impossibility_theore...

developing a good ranking function for bag-of-words full text search is about carefully balancing the attraction of larger vs smaller documents in the collection. If you try to aggregate several bad search engines you get a bad search engine, if you try to add more factors you get a bad search engine, instead you have to walk the path of BM25 or one of the more modern 'information theoretic' ranking functions. (e.g. precious knowledge I got from years of reading conference proceedings and still having no idea how to make a good ranking function then finally reading the right review paper that pointed out the two discoveries the conference made in the first 10 years!)

European doing B2B and SaaS, which gets treated as accessing software over the internet. It's less complex than shipping physical products but still a mix of regulations as each US state can classify SaaS differently.

https://www.quaderno.io/blog/sales-taxes-for-saas-in-us "Some states regard SaaS the same as electronically downloaded software, so they tax it. Some regard it as a service, and some states don’t tax services at all."

https://www.quaderno.io/resources/sales-tax-for-saas has a table of countries. India for example has no threshold https://www.quaderno.io/blog/saas-businesses-indias-online-s... at the same time with B2B it's the customer's obligation to deal with the tax.

We, well our accountants, do the EU required breakdown of sales by EU country for tax purposes. For non-EU countries we don't yet.
> The higher-order function style also tends to be much slower, so when writing a loop there's a decision burden every time between saving a line or two and writing fast code. (TIMTOWTDI is not really the Go ethos.) And programmers usually prefer concision, so the net result is often slow, HOF-heavy code.

This is very real. We do it all the time in JavaScript:

Object.entries({...spreadMerge, ...secondSpread}).map().filter().find(x)

Not once do I think about how many things are initialized, iterated over, etc. Rarely would I do something like this in Go.

Whether it matters is a good question, but the point is true: language facilities make you care more or less about performance depending on what it does.
>Google is becoming less useful.

Exactly. I wonder how a person could construct a highly curated google search. Not just blocking of sites but also a bit of parsing on the site for disposal purposes. Could it all be done on a local machine?

On a related note, as eBay became more of an all-purpose webstore I'll tend to use it rather than Amazon search to find products. The actual purchase, if it happens, is wherever.

Setting up your own servers was absolutely the bottleneck. Providing on demand scalable computing and storage untethered a generation of garage startups from venture funding. Prior to 2007, if you had a great idea you could build it and then start renting, or building and colocating, servers to run that app for you, at considerable up front expense. Plus, you got to do all of your own system administration, up to and including driving down to the colo when you couldn't adequately diagnose issues remotely.

So when you say "what AWS does was previously done by every single IT department at every company across the globe" yes sure but (1) it was done worse in many cases, with data loss or significant downtime, and (2) there were fewer such companies by magnitudes, because of the cost barrier.

What AWS did was take a costly process, done inconsistently and to varying degrees of correctness across the business world, and make it available to everyone at a very high quality, with a innovative pricing schedule.
There is already VisualBasic for Applications which is just similar to Python, only with begin/end-blocks instead of indentation. And with a little fiddling you can also use JScript/WSH to remote-control some parts of Excel, as well as all the .Net languages.
This is quite different. In communism, in theory - everything belongs to everyone, so nobody cares about anything. There is no so-called "minimum" that you have to do - you just have to been seen as "working".
