People obsessed with ”fighting fake news” are the same people who want a single narrative shoved down the throat of everyone. I’m wildly more comfortable with the bottom-up style information flow we’re experiencing now; as with big structural changes, some growing pains are inevitable - but it will be much more beneficial and resilient on the long term.

For those concerned with the eye witness testimony:

In this case, the neighbor saw the suspect go into the victim's house and then leave, and followed him.

At the suspects next stop there was a women who knew him. This is the woman who later ID'd him.

This isn't a case of a botched police lineup, or a stranger relying on memory.

It's good to keep an open mind, but just look at the sheer number of different metrics on that website that show some kind of change at or soon after 1971. With enough correlation you can make a hypothesis, hopefully a testable one. Unfortunately there are no countries that use a gold-backed currency left where you could perform an experiment.
> it strips away any supposed appearance of justice being about re-education and not about plain punishment

It's only hypocritical if the justice system claims to be solely about re-education. But you point out two other goals—deterrence and isolation—and there really are people out there who believe punishment is a moral good and a necessary component of justice.
Deb, rpm et al don't help here at all.

You can't use their dependencies or you'd need to provide builds for different versions of the same distro (because many many many libraries aren't that stable, and distros typically only provide one version of each).

And you probably don't want to run your own repository (and I'm not even sure apt can do repositories with a login, so you'd be making your game available to everyone with the link), so you can't use their update functionality either.

So then all you have left is a bad archive format - essentially a distro-specific .zip that's more annoying to build.

The other tools ship dependencies with the program, so they don't have this particular issue. AppImage and Flatpak are also cross-distro, while snap is tied to Canonical and awkward on other distros.
Is that a code name or engineering name? In my experience in a similar company there are three names that are not always 1:1 matches. An engineering name like Q187, and code name like Lemon Cardamom, and an external name like Aleph 250+. Only the third was never used internally, I’m not sure why the sometimes we used the engineering name and sometimes the code name. Usually but not always it was a 1:1 translation between the first two.
One thing that is a bit amazing to me is that there are all sorts of absolutely bonkers rules to English that 99% of people can’t describe, but do subconsciously anyways. Things like the order of adjectives (“big red ball” sounds right, “red big ball” sounds wrong) are surprisingly complicated [1], but we passively learn them at a young age.

Here is a continuous quote (nothing omitted except the start/end of conversation) from a discussion between Andrew Lee and me from 2017:

[2017-08-03 11:48:56.616000] <rasengan_> justJanne: I like the way you think about a lot of things and doubly appreciate the fact that you share these thoughts so that others can know and understand the realities of them as well. But, I do want to emphasize that while I am in fact listed on some piece of paper for a couple of IRC networks, I am not in control of any. That's not only a promise made, and my word means so much, but it's a reality: I don't have an O.

[Editor's note: O, or +O, means that the person is operator and has administrative control over the network]

[2017-08-03 11:48:56.789000] <rasengan_> Whenever something comes up I don't get involved or don't even know. (ps: plz excuse my space bar i think there is something wrong wiht my driver)

[2017-08-03 11:49:37.530000] <rasengan_> But the thing is IRC has alwasy been a glorious thing. The infra has always been sposnored by companies or people. But the great thing about IRC i s you can always vote and let the networks and world know which you choose - by using /server.

[Editor's note: /server is a command used to switch from one network to another]

[2017-08-04 21:48:37.553000] <rasengan_> I'm fully confident though if PIA were to show any kind of negative intentions, people would /quit fast.

[Editor's note: /quit is a command to disconnect from a network]

His statements that he had no control and would never have it were believed by staff all those years, but due to experience interacting with him I never did and have warned against this very scenario ever since the sale (which prompted above interaction).
the primary argument here is one of trust

the original creator of the channel gained trust by their userbase to not do untowards things with the feed, like filtering out certain things

then they moved their project elsewhere and left a redirect in the old location

now rasengan has deleted the redirect and pretends nothing has happened, and as for trustworthiness ... note how in the screenshot at the end of the article, humblebot is killed after posting a link to this submission here

To put it another way: low-end goods are consumables, high-end goods are assets.

Houses and land have, traditionally, been great equalisers because even the lowest-end house/land is still an asset. Now the poor are unable to buy houses/land again they are forced to be pretty much 100% consumers. That's how you stay poor.
> They've never had someone teach them how to manage money

This. If you don't know how money works, most people who offer advice are just trying to scam you. But not taking any advice is also not helpful.

If I knew how to invest in index funds 20 years ago, who knows, I might have already been halfway to retirement. Before I had kids, I was able to save a large part of my salary. But everything I did with the money -- following the advice of people pretending to be experts -- only made the money disappear.

If someone has a friendly person who spends a day or two helping them set up the system, so that all they need to do later is send extra money to a specific account once in a while, it can change their future dramatically. But many people do not have such friend.

Many judges in the US have lifetime appointments. This is one reason it was so damaging (depending on your point of view) when congress refused to confirm Obama’s judicial nominees, then rammed through a record number under Trump.

It led to Trump boasting that the judges would just tilt the scales on the election for him if the count said he lost (that didn’t work out), and the current large crop of new abortion bans working their way up to the (in his words), “Trump judge” federal courts.
On the other hand, the European definition seems to be “social democracy” at most. Marx would have thought the name of today’s French “Socialist” Party was ridiculous.
> If you equate people who are bad at their jobs with hobbyists, it implies that hobbyists are bad at what they do which is simply untrue. Many hobbyists are very very good at what they do

I see it as distinguishing between endeavors where being good is a requirement and those that are not. Of course there are many highly talented and skilled hobbyists but it’s not a requirement. It’s not even a requirement to want to get good at a hobby, though most probably do have some level of attainment in mind.
Why would they need an argument? Politics isn't about who has the better argument. It's just that no one in those states has (so far) had the skill, energy, and resources to organize political change on the issue.

I agree that it's relative, it was the point. The parent asserted that not having children is somehow a better or smarter thing to do. It isn't, in the long run we're all dead, but children make grownups feel human and not just like a cog in some pointless machine.

It's odd, because when I suggest that money and power stays within a handful of wealthy families, nobody seems to disagree. When I call that a "class-based system" or use words like aristocracy, then people disagree...

There's a ruling class that people are born into, same as how the old Indian caste system works, at best it's a "democratic aristocracy" because you get your choice of elite. Of course, that's just semantics...

I started out assuming they had kids, but I did catch myself:

> Ah. I've left out the obvious option: You don't have kids, and don't plan to?

Yes, that's their business.

My problem isn't with their personal decision per-se. It's that today's myths ("the glorious and independent startup founder") encourage people to make sacrifices that they may not think about until it's too late. I think most people who chase the startup dream will regret it. I also think that there are other people, not founders on average, who benefit from these myths. So they should be treated with suspicion.
Looking around, I've been really blessed by putting together a full career of that very sort of thing.

Some things you have to watch, especially if you are selling domain knowledge as an employee, is that products in a given subindustry will tend to become cheaper/higher volume/lower margin over time, the push for Asian manufacture always becomes a reality, and as companies age they acquire the anchor of supporting and repeating old products.
Goddamnit, dtx1, the people on the other goddamn side of the wire are people. I'm a person, in Colorado, not a party appratchik.

I'm a person. I fucking agree with your desire to boycott China in solidarity with the oppressed. What I'm not, and you are being (but are not, since no one is one thing, since you're human), is an asshole. I don't assume the person on the other side of the wire is evil, or incapable of having a civil discussion, or, ludicrously, as you are doing, a supporter of evil because they advocated tourism in China.

The "good faith" is about talking to someone, not about Pakistan, or spying, or anything else. It's about not assuming I'm evil. It's about you having an assumption of the decency of your interlocutor, and them doing the same for you, even when you disagree, even when you suspect their opinions support evil. This is what allows you to be heard, and it's the only path that you'll ever have to actually convince someone of (your very obvious and very common on HN anyways) opinions.

For chrissakes the parent post didn't even advocate especially going to China to support ethic cleansing, they just suggested its a good idea if you wish to understand the world. Which, objectively, is fucking true. You're what's wrong with the internet! Grow up and understand that you're talking to humans, or go to reddit, please.
As a native English speaker, I had no idea about this rule. It’s good to learn something new about the language I speak everyday.
The comment you're responding to is actually a conservative perspective, one which I agree with - make big business and banksters suffer the preexisting rules, rather than changing the rules for some larger overall goal after they run into trouble.

The desire to narrow the scope of government comes from a place of wanting to help all people, believe it or not. The big picture is that both professional political parties have been captured by entrenched interests. You, empathizing with the grassroots left, naturally look at the intentions of your political allies, while giving a pass where the higher level falls short. But at this point, those higher level "failings" are fundamental to the system.

The more recent development is that the rightist party has seemingly gone batshit crazy - after decades of being frustrated by their moral prescriptions becoming irrelevant, they've turned down the path of destructive spite. But this doesn't invalidate conservative thinking altogether, and we still need the sane bits from both philosophical frameworks / modes of thinking.
For a babysitter, that seems fair. For most minimum wage jobs, though, no. They are not just filled by teenagers until they can get a "real job." If you look at charts 1 & 7, you'll see most people working at or below minimum wage are 25+.

> imagine someone posted a podcast of an ideologue, in a place where you feel safe expressing your opinion, as the detractors of your Joe Rogan piece felt safe where you posted him.

Are you trying to get me to say my reaction would be the same? It just wouldn’t be. I would at least listen to the episode before just commenting. Also where exactly is this place? My small group of friends? My partner? Anonymously online? That’s basically it. Because it’s definitely not work or social media.

> Certainly with a PhD you can't actually have been surprised by the reaction to your post. What's the point of your performative surprise?

Someone asked me for some weird stories from San Francisco, so I shared some.

Yeah that’s pretty much the point of my stories and the topic of this HN thread.

Yea this conversation is over then. If you think I’m just trying to troll people there’s really no point for me to talk to you.

This is an extreme shifting of the overton window and cult behavior that excommunicates liberals from the left. Joe Rogan himself is on the left, he has mostly liberal views, he wanted to vote for Bernie Sanders. But because he's heterodox and talks to the "other", he's a sinner who must be cast out.
This is inconsequential. People ARE dying, that part isn't made up. It would be fake news if there had been no casualties and pictures from other wars were used to assert that there had been.

Fake news is largely defined by context and degree. Details can matter, a lot, in specific situations. This isn't one of those situations.

To say that "people were just hanging out with him because he was rich" is a very biased and uncharitable reading of his biography. He gave away all his inheritance pretty early in his life and later often had to depend on friends such as Keynes, Russell and Moore to support applications for grants so that he could continue his research at Cambridge. Of course it's true that he came from an extremely privileged background and was never in danger of starving to death, but he could spend as much time on his philosophy as he did because he lived a modest life and was lucky enough to be supported by Russell when he first came to Cambridge.
I think you've pointed out the fourth kind of luck, as described in the article. The people building the houses, driving the Bobcats, have a skill they've developed over time through their effort, that now affords them employment.

If you know how to do something, and someone needs that, they're going to call you up and ask you if you'd like to do that thing for some amount of time for some amount of money. So that ability is a form of wealth.

I don't think he's talking about everyone in the world becoming passive investors; kind of the opposite actually.

Fatter options package = you pay more taxes when you exercise. Also, the opportunity cost of giving up on big company roles is higher.
My humble recommendation: If the company has a valuation or is close to one, ask them to add the necessary money for early exercising to your signing bonus, which is usually pennies on the dollar for them. Then do it the moment you get your options converted to stock.

In that way you minimize any tax risks and at the same time you test how much the company is interested in you and values their employees.
> However, the common usage of "fake news" is not only literally "news that is not true", but rather "news that is deliberately not true in a very specific way".

The word "fake" surely doesn't have a connotation of an honest mistake, does it? That's not just "common usage", it's the only one I'm aware of.
There's some truth in it though, which is that there's a common pattern where formerly poor people, upon achieving higher income, keep their habit of spending every last cent that's coming in, just now also on nice things in additon to necessities, never accumulating any reserves. Their buying decisions seem to be locked in an algorithm "do I have the money, yes or no?" where someone with saving ability would ask themselves "do I want to spend that amount of money?"

But I suspect that this might be more common amongst those that rose from low but not very low income, I could imagine that the group of people who rose from extreme poverty contains a considerable number of people very much able to save. It's certainly not the only reason for poverty to exist. But if the poorest person you know is the high(ish) income/spend it all kind, I can easily see how you'd come to the wrong conclusions.
You’re saying not all startups are bad, just a specific kind are bad: bad startups. Seems tautological.
The option is to compensate for it on top of extra salary to the point where you get enough volunteers for rotation, and/or hire for it.

I had a side gig that very explicitly was being hired to be the guy that gets woken up by PagerDuty. They paid me about an extra $1k/month purely for having my phone on in addition to what they paid me for the time I spent dealing with actual issues. Even then $1k/month was only enough because most of the other work I did for them was explicitly to improve site availability so I could ensure the platform was resilient enough that I rarely got woken up. In effect my hourly rate for being woken up probably translated to $2k-$3k/hour, with it sometimes going half a year between being woken up, before suddenly a bad release might cost me sleep a few nights in a row.

But having felt the stress of this on a full-time basis in the past, without that kind of compensation, I don't think it's cost-effective to have your dev team serve this role vs. having a few people on retainer to at least triage and try the obvious things. You're going to pay for it with staff that do not get proper rest (even when the phone doesn't go off it'll be there at the back of your head).
Any attorney or judge who justifies their conviction on eyewitness testimony has to know, at this point, its bullshit. Every criminal attorney at this point knows the infallibility of an eye witness has been proven over and over to be false.

These are internal codenames I think, not the marketing names.

Of course the fact that the codenames are used more often than the marketing names is itself a marketing failure.
I think that the metaprogramming situation is a little problematic in Elixir. Elixir makes heavy use of macros in basic libraries like the Phoenix or Ecto frameworks that are used by more or less everybody.

I understand that macros are useful to build a DSL for a specific project but using macros in basic libraries like this leads to "way too much magic": Trying to understand (or somehow extend) Ecto is not really possible for all practical purposes and following the control flow in Phoenix is like a maze because of all the macro substitutions. This also leads to cryptic errors where you get an error in non existant lines of code.

This heavy of macros is my main complain about Elixir and I think it's one of the main problems that new people
face when trying the language resulting in either not using it at all (or if they start it they will abandon it).

Finally, I understand that using macros in these libs allows for much more compact (and maybe beautiful) code, however I will always pick a more verbose (but less magic) version of this if I had the choice. I think this is the case for most programmers that want to use a language as a tool to do their job.

The problem is how to encode early returns in that context.
