The article doesn't offer any examples which makes it hard to really understand what issue the author is arguing about beyond vague generalities.

> In the name of freedom, an equally venal, arbitrary and rapacious foreign corporation is effectively waging war against the Indian state, all wrapped up in the garb of “freedom of expression”.

It feels like there's some additional context not present in the article itself that the audience is assumed to have.

Perhaps Twitter is acting undemocratically in India, but the article doesn't make a good case for that on its own.

(Also, somewhat ironically when trying to copy and paste the snippet above, the website offers a post-to-twitter overlay/button as soon as you select some text)
Leaving aside workman's comp issues, why would it be any different than if you were there on vacation? As a US citizen, for most of Europe, I just get a stamp (maybe) when I arrive. I'm not even applying for a specific type of visa.

I hope there is more exploration around a “Factorio Cloud” that connects multiple Factorio servers so you can visit and exchange resources with other factories. I think there have been a few projects similar to this but nothing substantial yet.

In general I like this idea of connecting local sandbox games in a sort of multiverse. It would be cool if there were an open-world, multiplayer game where you could create portals to your game server(s) hosted elsewhere. So you could go to one portal to play a game of Civ, and another to play Factorio. And somehow each game could include a mod that implements a common interface so that your performance in that game can have some effect on your character in the “root” multiverse game.

I get the sense this is maybe roughly what Tim Sweeney wants to do with Epic. And maybe Roblox has similar ideas.
I currently live in an area where Spectrum is the only "broadband" provider. I pay $75 for 200/10. My town finally said enough is enough and is now in the process of rolling out municipal owned internet.

You can see the details for that here: http://dryden.ny.us/information/dryden-municipal-broadband-s...

It's unfortunate that many states have passed legislation to block municipal internet. Corporations such as Spectrum, Comcast, etc. should not have that sort of lobbying power, but yet, here we are.
I feel it's kind of telling here that the opinion piece doesn't give even a single actual example of something Twitter is, specifically, doing wrong in regards to India.

I have recently stepped back into the realm of dealing with leadership and executives. The juxtaposition relative to a bunch of recent programming has made me realize why leaders don't fully understand why interruptions are so difficult - the type of work is fundamentally different.

* When dealing with Ops work or leadership, much of my work is thin and wide. In other words, I spend my time on a LOT of different things, but rarely need to deep dive. When I do need to deep dive, I'm looking at a timebox measured in hours. I can be interrupted because none of my thoughts are difficult to rebuild.

* When I'm programming, I'm working thin and deep. I have a very narrow problem that requires diving into something very deeply. There are often a lot of little details that are potentially blockers. All of that needs to be in active thinking memory - or at least very close to it. When I get interrupted while programming, those auxiliary details go "poof". Sometimes they're hard, if not impossible to get back.

Isn't this the same FUD as calling BitTorrent a "notorious copyright infringement system?" Mixers / crypto and BitTorrent have legitimate purposes.
Article title is slightly misleading: by smaller they mean process size, increasing the range of the rowhammer attacks logically due to decreased distance between memory cells even though the physics limited distance is the same.

Perhaps someone already mentioned it here, but GraalVM lets you interop between Java and anything LLVM, and therefore Rust, without the JVM startup cost, with breakpoints across languages, even (as I understand it). Compile time is long, though.

borkdude has been releasing for some very cool stuff using this stuff. Here's a Clojure/Rust combo:

Here's an example with the NE2000 network card (PCI only). I've tested it both on QEMU and with a real RTL8029AS card. Probably the most important thing is quality, RTL-level reference documentation. When you hit a dead-end, having a battle-tested Linux or BSD driver to peek at helps a lot, because hardware has quirks and the documentation might not tell the whole story.

SerenityOS currently doesn't have a lot of tooling to help debugging drivers aside from kprintf() and kubsan. Other operating systems may offer more advanced capabilities, such as NetBSD's rump kernel where you can run drivers in userland for example.

You can follow topics on twitter.
Ah, okay, I understand better what you're saying. So you do perceive Twitter as different than HN, but only in quality of writing, not in lack of hateful content.

Can you give an example of a thread that turned out that way? I'm genuinely curious if I've been missing something, or if I've just managed to steer clear of topics that end up like that.
Do you have any thoughts on Lentz's comment that IPWD "made a rush to judgement" on his draft of Hyper-Fast []? Or has anything changed in your assessment between the draft and publication of his paper? (I did not see anything on his blog)

I think we regulate them like telcos. Verizon is supposed to provide everyone fios in my neighborhood but our dead end street is underground working. I don’t get fios but the cable company thinks we do and keep offering great rates. I don’t dare tell them that we don’t get fios.
I think people forget that it's incredibly difficult to coordinate a group of people beyond a certain number. We're all walking, talking grey gooey blobs of personality, feelings, ambitions and stubbornness (even managers/leaders). To even attempt at mitigating and guiding such things to team or company-useful outcomes we have to have meetings. Sometimes lots of them. It's the unfortunate nature of such a dynamic and chaotic system.
It's going to be a very, very long time before there's an actual shortage of land in America. Take a flight from New York to San Francisco and look down the entire time. Just an endless expanse of...nothing.

The only thing that changes within the span of a decade or even a single lifetime is desirable vs undesirable land. Purchasing property isn't as much of a "sure thing" as everyone believes. Housing prices are dictated mostly by local policy and speculation rather than physical space.
My take is that was just poor wording and they should be considered alternatives or potential future replacements in progress. Once you give up on that word, the page makes more sense.
I think that's beside the point - more relevant is that people were both willing to pay a good deal to organize the games and that the games were a central and import part of roman society.

You can argue - almost certainly correctly - that there was a significant portion of society that found the game distasteful, but you can't argue that there was still an even larger slice of the population that considered them so important that they built the coliseum to host them.

Ideally the turnover of businesses should be really high

Meaning outflow from business bank accounts older than 5 years should be really high and inflow in business bank account younger than 1 year should be high as well (all as % of GDP)

As much as people like Bezos claim "it's always day one" they won't risk the company on moonshots like they did back in the days.

Partially because they feel they can't win as if the big bet were to be successful then you can't cash on it because the antitrust would immediately dissolve a 5 trillion dollar company.

The only crazy coked dude out there still pushing is Musk, but he has a taste for picking industries which make terrible businesses, and I think will retire before any of his companies generates positive FCF

> he truly failed to communicate his point

Yes, exactly. His ultimate point in this article, if I understood that right (i.e., affirmative action can be helpful, but it is the beginning, not the end of the support for those people it helps) I find quite reasonable. Everything leading up to that point seemed to be saying "the system is doing exactly what it was intended to, the people who think this is fixable are fools, we should just leave it alone." I think a lot of people who might otherwise agree with his point would get lost in the liberal-bashing.
> Tax systems rely on citizens reporting anyway.

It relies on reporting and the right to audit, so they may end up with all of the information anyway; it's more that you are making them ask for it rather than providing it proactively.
Counterpoint: I've attempted to prevent it from becoming a political shitshow by specifically following people only in my field, yet it somehow seems to bring up political bullshit to me.

Youtube is far easier to make intellectual, there are tons of great educational channels & podcasts to watch and listen to.
> the chances for triggering a buffer underflow / overflow exploit are zero

Doesn't the mere existence of unsafe make this untrue? From a quick google I can see at least one[1] so the chances are definitely a lot higher than zero

Thanks for the reply. Of course I'm not "expecting" or forcing companies to pay! It's more of I'm hoping or I hope for support in the future.

Also of course I know everything about open source licenses, so as I said I'm not forcing nothing. Thanks for your hints I will try to apply them and see if it would help ;)
I'm on Hacker News more than I care to admit and I don't see evidence of this widespread racism you proclaim. Please provide evidence if you're going to make these wild accusations.
I think the difference is that taking a drivers education class, and (in my experience, at least) is that there is actual hands on driving experience. I think an IT certificate or security audit is a lot more abstract.

The only way to check the "Has taken a driving class and has at least 20 hours behind the wheel" is to do just that. How many different ways could you check the "Secure password requirements are enforced by users" box? How many ways could you check the "physical security to encrypted systems" box?

How do you answer discovery?
The problem is everything is in the cloud even if it does not belong there.
Law enforcement uses commercial services offered by several different blockchain-analysis companies to investigate virtual currency transactions. These companies analyze the blockchain and attempt to identify the individuals or groups involved in the virtual currency transactions. Specifically, these companies create large databases that group transactions into “clusters” through analysis of data underlying the virtual currency transactions.

Thanks for the link, that was a fascinating read. In case anyone was wondering how anonymous their crypto accounts really are, it's all out there being cross-referenced with any other big data social media and credit companies could use to identify you.
It's appropriate because it will improve your thinking to consider that I might just be right.

Edit: I happened to see your response since deleted. Don't worry, I'm not offended. I will say that HN at its best invites intellectual exploration. Take all your comments in this thread and look at them. What thoughts did you provoke? What did you add?
Broadband infrastructure is expensive to install and upgrade, so it's expected to last a very long time to break even for the installer. Often, broadband speeds are more indicative of how recently the local infrastructure was upgraded than anything else.

> Honestly, even the lower-end prices are not great. In France you can easily get 2Gbps for $60 / month.

Broadband is extremely dependent on geography and the city.

In many places in the US (my city included) it's easy to get gigabit broadband for similar prices.

I have friends in remote areas who would be happy to have even reliable 10Mbit at this point, but their properties are so isolated that it's prohibitively expensive for anyone to run infrastructure out to service their sparse neighborhoods.
Mona Lisa was special in part because it was uncommon for people to smile. In Middle Ages, someone smiling a lot would be perceived as stupid. That's why facial expressions in medieval imagery are so serious. Today, being surprised a lot is often taken as a sign of stupidity, whereas in ancient Greece an owl was the bird of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Because, obviously, an owl is always surprised, and surprise is the first step to understanding.
But a char[] could be binary data for all the tool knows, do you want it to do a buffer overflow and end up bricking your computer? std::string etc. exist exactly because char[] is unsafe for holding strings unless you carry around a size.
1nm Breakthrough: TSMC, MIT and NTU Published on Nature
Not sure I see the point in extending our lives. All the problems we have with history being forgotten and humanity repeating the same mistakes won't go away, the cycle will just take 150 years instead of 100. It will take longer to evolve, longer to learn our lessons, but in the meantime the wealthy get a few more good decades riding high on the backs of the billions living in poverty around the world. Hurray for that I guess.

This sort of research is tailored to the infantile concerns of narcissists who believe their individual lives matter more than the health and longevity of the species and the planet. Is death really so scary? Is it so difficult to imagine that it might be important for our lives to end? Oh you poor, mistreated mortals, the heavens weep for you.

The only way life extension really makes sense to me is if we imagine that humans have reached the zenith of their evolution, which is just laughable. Just remember,the last laugh is on you ;)
This is a shallow nonsensical article set to the whims of the ruling dystopian political party.

Couple of weeks ago members of the ruling party , BJP, put up fake documents on Twitter with fake symbols of opposition party. Twitter labelled the tweets as unauthentic.

The ruling party went primal on twitter. Modi and his parties are everything that an absolute dictatorship would be. I still remember how they set the police to assault journalists in Gujarat when the media questioned his role in the Gujarat genocide.

The ruling government will stop at nothing to be in power. The previous Gujarat massacre, the current pandemic fiasco.. they don't care. Anyone that questions them is labelled as antinational and is considered traitor.

They jailed a 19 year old girl who protested climate change. Imagine US jailing Greta..

And shill opinion pieces like these just plays into his goal of total control.
It goes back further than that, at least to the prosecution of organized crime syndicates in the early part of the 20th century. Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion, after all.
I think the reason it hasn't hit consumers more is because most consumers cannot afford assets.

The best analogy I can make is Ecuador, which although one of the poorest countries in SA has very high prices on average. It was explained to me that this is because government salaries are pegged to a certain rate, and that basically forms the middle class. All the poor cannot buy stuff anyway, so the high prices don't really matter in that sense.
It absolutely is. Thankfully we have 200 billion combinations we don't have to use while still covering every person in the world for the next hundreds years or so.
Had an attorney doing some work for me a while back. Emailed 3 emails over 3 different days - wasn't hearing back after the first, so I emailed again, etc.

I was told they couldn't work well with constant interruptions like that. WTF? Probably was an extreme ... something going on on their end, but... wanting/needing some answers and waiting 4 days was, to me, being rather patient.

This seems like itself an inherently good thing. I don’t see how Amazon’s warehouse workers would be better off without it.

Rather, the article framing and critical commentary thus far are focused on the other issues.

Those issues withstanding, this still seems like a positive albeit minor fringe benefit for Amazon’s warehouse workers.
I think the point is that random tweets - especially replies - may be low quality. But the 'curated' tweets from those you follow are much more likely to have value.
because if you have one party that is nice and polite and uses proper decorum and they are actively doing harm to another party, and that other party is upset because harm was done to them, and your response is "I will listen to the person that is behaving according to decorum", you are taking the wrong side. Bad actors -love- decorum, especially when access to understanding the rules of that decorum is itself a marker of class, tribe, or belonging in some way.
So my pet theory is: All conventional wisdom on inflation deals with the assumption that all money is equal.

But we've come into an unprecedented situation where a lower and lower share of overall money is actually used in transit instead of being parked. You don't really notice all that invisible money, because in practice, inflation is really only tangible on the circulating part, that's why the overall supply increase doesn't _feel_ like inflation.

That circulating part of money already has shrunk further and further, now probably down to single digit percents. What will happen if a big fish actually tries to cash in a large chunk of that invisible money for goods and services? No clue. We're in completely uncharted territory.

I'm going to hazard a guess that the author is a supporter of the BJP/Narendra Modi and that Twitter is not being as accommodating as Facebook has been in accommodating that party's political objectives.

In political communications and propaganda (from the Italian word for propagation, eg of an idea), facts are not as important as the feeling that is communicated to the reader. You see this a lot in tabloid media where headline writers will tell readers what emotion they can expect to get from a story, eg 'Outrageous: minor annoyance is symbolic of general grievance.' It's worth bearing in mind that hormones are like drugs and people can get addicted to being angry or depressed just as much as they to feeling good, so people often read the news selectively in order to get a fix of their preferred emotion.

Another thing that's important in political communication is posture. Again this need not be based on facts, but is about framing the discussion a certain way. The best way I have found to explain this is to suggest you watch scenes from an unfamiliar movie in a different language with no subtitles, or in your own language with the sound turned down. You don't need to know the plot or the content of the film in order to get a sense of which characters are in adversarial or cooperative relationships, or which character has 'won' a scene.

Narrative filmmaking is full of little tricks, from camera angle to lighting to framing to music to help you feel your way through a scene without too much intellectualization. It's much more work to watch a film with no music, or to maintain focus on the story just by reading a script or listening to actors reading it at a table, unless you are already a fan of the film.

This article is an example of the same thing. Most HN readers are in the west and are not familiar with the political and cultural mores in India. But many of those tropes will be immediately and even unconsciously familiar to the target audience, and the writer's goal is to use those to present Twitter in a certain role that will incrementally reshape public perceptions.

Of course, I am not sufficiently knowledgeable about Indian politics to understand all the factors in play, but I suggest that they're not all that different from this extant in the American political context of recent years.
