That's why I can't.

But that is the level of poison it takes to hold back the commercial slime.

Any "legitimate" enterprise online is part of a tracking economy which is really quite scary when you think that those funny ads for silly old people really come from servers in countries who are famous for their intelligence services.

I hocked my house to start an image sharing site that I eventually had to shut down -- I saw many good sites go down because of the brutal economics, an era from which only Pinterest and Instagram really emerged.

So I am fascinated that anybody is running a sustainable image sharing business on the web and that they're doing it because they're not in the tracking economy.
Wife first when it comes to arguments. If it's a money thing... I guess I would expect my wife to understand if I were supporting my parents. Maybe that's a conversation that should happen before the wedding though!

Given that the board is made up of people that much better jobs than being on the FB oversight board, I don't think that losing this side gig is a particular incentive for them to deciate from theor standard ethics.
The reason that the cancel mob is a problem is that it's a tiny vocal minority convincingly pretending they're the majority. If an actual majority of people wanted something cancelled, then it probably should be cancelled.
Why would it be illegal to pay yourself more than market rate?

In the US, you typically want different entities owning the real estate versus the ones operating the business for liability and tax purposes. The IRS treats owners' basis differently based on whether the income is due to passive (real estate rental) or non passive activity (operations).
>So... Oppress women is the solution you are proposing here?

If that's what you want to call shaming them for certain behavior, yes.

>Why have you gendered it at all?

Because women are, on average, different from men, and, on average, exhibit different tendencies. Different measures are needed to push their behaviors to the same point.

>Why do women have to face social stigma and not men?

As I said, a man who has sex with a woman outside of marriage should be pressured to marry her, or in other words, if he doesn't marry her, he should be shamed for it.

Note that I don't think that should apply if he's not the only man that's had sex with her. In that case she is the one that should be the subject of social shaming to discourage other women from following in her path.

>What about gay relationships, presumably you'd apply the same thinking (en route to a marriage or married)?

I don't think homosexual behavior is very relevant to the discussion of men being unable to find suitable wives, but generally speaking, I don't think society should put any effort toward ensuring homosexuals end up in healthy marriages. And if there is any conflict between the interests of homosexuals and the goal of getting normal people in to healthy marriages, the conflict should be resolved in favor of normal people every time.

>What about poly relationships?

I think society should reject polygamous relationships.

>I'm going to assume you mean owes you a supportive, caring, platonic relationship. Eg, two married people support one another to their mutual benefit. I'm going to assume you don't mean to imply your spouse owes you sex.

I mean both. Both are important to the maintenance of most healthy relationships.

Back when I was a student employee of a state university I had to sit through a mandatory training part of which was where they told us we were not allowed to be overt racists, sexually harass each other, embezzle money (i.e. the usual stuff) or say things not befitting a the government's self image (I'm paraphrasing but that's what it was) including specifically the phrase "good enough for government" and suggested alternatives. Based on the training it was pretty clear that this was a generic training that anyone receiving a paycheck from a state entity had to sit through.

Having a specific phrase to refer to known half-assery isn't specific to China. I suspect it's a pretty universal thing across cultures
> There is nothing preventing people from writing their own reduce() in their own utilities package, and I expect a thriving ecosystem of "even-more-functional-constructs" packages to spring up as soon as generics hit stable.

I really hope this doesn't happen because then you have random utility libraries that "infect" projects for what is essentially basic flow control. I would say stuff like this is best supported in the standard lib and not home rolled.
I watched it (at 2x, 17 mins): The enthusiasm of the convert.

Values are in tension, but time is fungible. When you add up hundreds of hours waiting for very, very, very slow builds, you should wonder if maybe those hundreds of hours would be better spent elsewhere. If you have traded them for two hours of debugging, have you come out ahead?

(Is there any objective reason for the Rust compiler to be two orders of magnitude slower than a normal compiler? Maybe an alternative implementation strategy would help?)

It was telling when he posted his "values" of C++. Suffice to say, when you need to lie to make your case, the argument is already lost.

Your client lived with crashes because they couldn't be bothered to use valgrind, to use the address sanitizer, to use the UB sanitizer, to set a watchpoint in gdb? They didn't need rr.

There is no substitute for competence. If they had been competent to (re-?)write it in Rust, they would be more than competent to spend 0.1% as much time just fixing it, or (better) not coding the bug in the first place. But who could they hire to code it in Rust? There are orders of magnitude too few Rust coders for that to work.

Rust might be a way not to code bugs in the first place, but modern C++ is another way. It doesn't pretend to make bugs impossible, as Rust pretends, but it does remove temptation to bugs: bug-prone code is ugly, and better ways are equally fast. And, modern C++ is mature, fun, fast building, and can "#include" C headers for essential libraries unchanged.

There is an interesting anecdote here. There was a saying at Google Apps (now Workplace) of WWMD What Would Mike (Mike Kail) Do when they talked about cloud products adoption by Netflix. The person who said that at the Google Apps summit held at Fort Mason was Clay Bavor who was very close to Marissa Mayer (head of Yahoo at the time). After that Mike Kail left Netflix to Yahoo.

Interestingly Mike Kail chose onelogin for Netflix at the time for non-obvious reasons.
Yeah, that was an immediate red flag for me too. It's the same kind of rhetoric used by sites like Voat and Gab which are immediately taken over by the far right (and I definitely don't want a single cent of my money going to them).

I've honestly never understood the appeal of a completely unmoderated space. I'd prefer a site that was moderated fairly and competently so I didn't have to wade through extremist dross looking for content.
The fabric of society has been torn and a website would be the least of our concern.
The handshake emoji bothers me for the same reason as the fist-bump emoji on slack - it ignores consent. What if the receiver doesn't want to shake your hand? Or what if they don't identify with the skin tone that you chose for them?

These types of emojis would be more powerful if all parties had to engage to make them happen. Senders would have to run the risk of being left hanging, which would make a successful shake/bump mean a lot more, and everyone could choose their own skin tones.

My beef is likely with the chat apps that implement this functionality rather than the emoji spec itself, but the implication of letting one person choose the color of both hands in an interaction like this seems to further complicate the consent issue.
> Calling it a subsidy makes it seem like it's something governments are doing on purpose.

Governments are not unaware of the environmental impacts, so that impression is accurate.
> it got moderated down a couple of weeks ago.

Not completely sure what you mean by this, but if you’re saying HN moderators “moderated down” your submissions — no one was moderating them down, they simply didn’t have enough votes to stay on the front page.

Also, https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html asks you to not use HN exclusively for promoting your products.
You're adopting a very dismissive tone for what seems like a reasonable position. If you believe Trump is uniquely dangerous (disclosure: I do), why couldn't you have a reasoned, objective belief that social media companies need the tools to keep him off their platform? If someone comes to me with an undisputable argument that suchandsuch principle means he has to be allowed on Facebook again, I consider that to be an argument against the principle, in much the same way as I'd reject a principle that proves we can't enforce laws or can't block spam.
Yup, exactly right.

This works if the sender of the shortened link wants to protect other's privacy preemptively. Then they could certaintly follow the link, log a single click, then grab the final url and share that.

But the average person isn't going to do that. They will share the nice, short, pretty url that tiktok gives them. But once someone gives you that shortened url, there is no way for you to view the video on the other end of that URL without being tracked. You would need to follow the link, tiktok would track you, only after they have logged the data will they send your browser a redirect to the proper url.
> By only looking for safety of the design, Westinghouse was able to submit designs that were safe, but not particularly buildable.

Because the commission is biased towards safety above all else. They need to be more realistic and not cave in to fearmongering. The design needs to be safe, but against a realistic threat model.

The designs also need to be assembly line and not so highly customized. French style reactor designs are good for this reason. Part that holds the reactor? Fine, evaluate for weather and calamity resistance and build per location. The reactor? Hope you like black.
Spot on. Right now you are better off gambling your life savings on crypto than working hard to get promoted. Jobs aren’t paying enough.
There is no evolve(). All phenomena that can be measured, calculated, or conceptualized by humans are in fact governed by capricious gods who behave non-deterministically an cannot be described as a function. The appearance of any phenomenal consistency resembling natural laws is merely a coincidence caused by the capricious gods being in a mood.

My point here is that scientists are stuck in a box where everything must be a law. Those questioning fixed laws are still substituting meta-laws by which the laws evolve. To me, it's wishful thinking. Of all the possible universes I can imagine, I contend that those with fixed laws OR meta-laws would both be in the minority. The most likely case is that there's nothing to discover but happenstance.

Yikes! Like I said, obsessed... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are way more ethnicities and races than skin colors. E.g. there are hundreds of distinct ethnicities in Europe that Americans would merrily categorize as "white" based on their obsession with melanin.
> Is there a real difference between the classic MS office applications, though?

Yes, there absolutely is.

You can create a document with styled text in Excel instead of Word, just as you can edit a photo in Paint instead of Photoshop. You can do it, but the two tools have dramatically different capabilities.

It's important to think about developing for use-cases otherwise we will end up with overly complex software that aims to be all-things to all-people.
A language that is functional from the ground up can be very beautiful, concise and a pleasure to program in. I agree with you though, that bolting functional programming onto Go will make it worse. Especially with the millions of lines of legacy Go code out there, it would essentially become an entirely different language.

They are hardly sending him down the memory hole (there are plenty of records of his statements and assertions etc).

Newspapers have chosen to report, or not report on issues since time immemorial.

There is no shortage of reasons to criticize FB and to consider network effects such as you raise.

But I am specifically disagreeing with the “memory hole” point, and in particular of a public figure.

Yes good point, their "prestigious" space programme is still many decades behind what other nations have already done. And now even private companies have eclipsed their rocket programs embarrassingly.
" If an actual majority [of an internet forum] of people wanted something cancelled, then it probably should be cancelled." I added to your statement lest people think simple majority is a good way to determine what viewpoints should be allowed to be presented!
I heard that story before and it’s nothing more than a self serving idea spread by cheaters to justify their acts. No, cheaters are not beneficial at all but to themselves. Kind people who are also a bit more trusty are holding the fabric of society together. Without trust we’d eat eachother alive (figuratively speaking).

And you know what? Im starting to suspect you may actually be a net negative to the society yourself and I’d be veeery wary dealing with someone like you
If the HN mods feel I've overstepped, I'm certainly happy to defer to their judgement. Otherwise, I'm going to keep on truckin'.
I'm a startup founder in Canada, and it almost feels like being a second-class citizen in the startup world. I know I know first-world problem... So many of the programs and services aren't available or way more complicated than they would be for a US-based startup (thinking of Stripe Atlas, Brex, etc. It's not anyone's fault, really, but I'm glad to see an effort to accommodate us as well. You wouldn't believe the time we wasted in this pandemic world just to open a bank account.
"higher profile official"...? Higher profile than Trump was when he was banned? I don't think that's possible...
You’re biased as someone who presumably likes Reddit and wants to read an internet forum. I wouldn’t be so fast to assume it’s the best result for everyone.

For example, I would wager the average person is happy with the results of googling “best running shoes” over “best running shoes reddit” where an authority like RunnersWorld.con pitches some shoes with a quick blurb.

Meanwhile, I clicked through some threads on r/running and it’s the usual mix of ok advice couched in banal, inconclusive convo, rants, and infighting. We’re used to wading through the cesspool, but the average person just wants some damn shoes.

I think adding reddit to your search query and being happy with the result isn’t a knock against google, but you just knowing what you want, shaping the query to match it, and google delivering. Seems like a non sequitur when used as evidence of google’s decline.
Why do these require much energy? Unicode is big, why not just add everything? I still am pissed of by the fact they rejected Tengwar - how much energy would it take to add (id nobody opposed)?
Why subsidize those sources when they are taking over the market today?
Due to increased regulation the capital cost of building nuclear power plants has gone up about 400% since 1970. It was much cheaper than coal, but now it's a wash.

I wish I could add text to the example grid inside, to test how it behaves.

Grid has a problem with long texts without spaces. (Finnish language tend to have those and I find grid sometimes difficult to use). It can be fixed if you use minmax instead of 1fr.

E.g. grid-template-columns: minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 1fr) works for two column layout that doesn't break with overly long words.
maybe? what Chinese have done is already done by the US back in the '70. i believed SpaceX/NASA still have the lead.
You can easily store waste underground, the democrats wouldnt allow it in arizona.
I think nuclear might have been the cheapest in the past, but it needs to be compared to modern technologies again and reassessed if it's going to have that crown now. It never got as cheap as it was claimed it would be, accounting for loan interest or not. And now we have just experienced a decade where intermittent renewables have plummeted in cost to below that of fuel-base energy. And storage is on that trend too, with storage being added to most solar and wind projects these days to increase profitability.

Nuclear is characterized by very low opex compared to capex, but that ratio is even higher with renewables. If we are going to give nuclear the benefit of low capital costs, we should also give renewables that same cheap capital when comparing to nuclear.
Tesla’s are not real drive by wire so currently there’s no possibility of taking independent control over the wheels.
Netflix was a customer of ours and Mike was a contact, but we never gave anything to him in the way of equity or cash or gifts. But that is only because I had previously worked in intelligence, where if that happened and you got caught, you were not going to be having a very good time.

I can imagine plenty of new startups that do not know how enterprise sales are done, looking for an advisor who is high up and has connections, and expect him to disclose the relationship prior to any purchase order being made by Netflix. The startup has no idea about the inner workings, unless it was extremely explicit, but it usually isn't.

I really admire Rust iterators, especially compared to C++ iterators, but I lament that there is no easy way (that I know of, anyway) to build an iterator from a closure which yields `Option<T>`s. I don’t like that I have to define a type and implement a Trait (in general working with closures is cumbersome in Rust). That said, this isn’t a major problem either and on balance I’m very happy with Rust iterators.

General amps seek to diminish distortion. In particular:
1. Clipping - an overly amplified signal can have the peaks of its signal "clipped" off.
2. Cross-over distortion - because of the way most amplifiers work, one part of the circuit amplifies the positive signal, and one the negative (above and below the midpoint of the signal). Where the one part "crosses over" you can get a misalignment which results in distortion.
3. Harmonic distortion - for example the extent to which a 400Hz tone is translated into a certain amount of 800Hz, 1600Hz etc overtones.

All of these things can actually result in a cool guitar sound in the right proportions. Hard rock in particular has strongly distorted sounds created by tube amps (for the most part). But even sounds which we think of as cleaner have a significant amount of tube distortion (e.g. the intro to Sweet Home Alabama, or the main riff of Day Tripper). If you put an electric guitar into a regular amplifier, in general, it sounds flat and terrible.
I don't think so. I believe it was a screening question. Which was odd since they allowed me to give blood at that time.

> Honestly, in this story everyone looks like a big child.

I don't know about "child" but there is a similar vibe here. This also comes through in blog posts and Twitter threads I've seen from some of the people involved. A certain assumption that their own account or opinion should automatically be accepted as default. Arrogance? Petulance? Entitlement? Somewhere in that space.

It shouldn't even be a surprise, really. Even if they were able to overlook political differences, DHH and JF were overwhelmingly likely to hire people who were like themselves in some ways. It's what founders and CEOs have always done, and has often been remarked upon since before they were born. "A fish rots from the head" is one of the less charitable forms. People's high self-image and approach to disagreement or confrontation seems to have been one of the (quite likely unconscious) selection criteria here. After that, a blowup of some sort was only a matter of time.

Rust has lazy iterators, so a chain of iterator steps like this has the same complexity as a single for loop over the iterator. There's no reason Go couldn't do that same thing.

The actual quote from the article:

> “I strongly disagree we live in a white supremacist culture,” Singer said. “I don't believe in a lot of the framing around implicit bias. I think a lot of this is actually racist.”

That looks much closer to "one of the senior management team said white supremacy does not exist" than "he questioned the existence of white supremacy at the company."
