"people wouldn't go near certain areas because they knew what was there"

Right. Everyone knew. There have been a number of inquiries on this. The deaths at residential schools has never been a mystery. There is nothing new being unveiled.

This is an absolute tragedy, but there is a bit of a lie happening in the presentation of it, with each "discovery" being treated like it is unveiling some dark secret. No, it is a dark, but very well known, truth that has been in the open for the entirety of the program. And the truth is that mortality across the entire demographics of Canada was bad in that time period (3 out of 10 children under 5 died across the country), so it isn't entirely atypical.

"we need real change in Canadian society"

What does this even mean? Should the country abolish the residential school system, despite it being long abolished?
How many people continue to drive a car after having their license revoked? When they do, they are capable of far greater damage than a revoked drove license. People that have to respect for the law are not going to follow the law. How many criminals carry weapons even though there are laws?

The point of laws are to give guidance to know what is/isn't allowed, and to allow for punishiment when broken.
Hi,

I have been a solo-dev working on Blanq[1] for more than a year now. It is a powerful link shortening platform that supports custom domains, SSL and traffic routing. I released the API to simply link management for you. The plans are cost-effective and the service is extremely reliable(99.99% uptime).

The backend is Java Spring based with Mysql as DB. To generate docs, I have used Redoc open source tool that relies on Open API spec. I will soon release Zapier integration as well.

For graphs, I have used apex charts that are a pleasure to use. The UI is built on Vue and uses some third party plugins.

Here's an example of analytics https://blanq.io/analytics.html

I am an advocate of privacy and have tried to incorporate as many best practices as possible to avoid identifying users.

I am open to feedback and would love to hear your experience.

Not sarcasm. More a thought about "ratchet" dynamics, memes, and Markov chains, with some anthropologically-flavored cynicism thrown in. If you're a meme named "B", and you can make P(A -> B) >> P(B -> A), then you're going to have more mind-babies. The steady state distribution will have more "B". So norms that favor A -> B over B -> A are interesting.

Not sure if "meme" (US civil religion) or "organization" (US government) is the better description of the actor here.

Also a thought about how apparent inconsistencies, or hypocrisy, can sometimes be explained by finding an underlying true "motive" that explains the various "inconsistent" behaviors. (One example: People who are liberal in their adopted country but conservative in their home country, can be understood as simply being self-interested.) Though in this case the "actor" is not really a person, but an organization or memeplex.

> I don't know many people who'd describe the US immigration system as welcoming.

That's a fair point, which undermines the idea. Well, it's debatable, but I get what you mean. Yes: The (blue-state) norms ("welcome everyone!") don't match the reality (actually it's pretty hard). Say, if you're a high-skilled student from India you wait years in a queue; that doesn't seem particularly "welcoming". (On the other hand, it's easy to win the visa lottery if you're from Kazakhstan. I digress.) On a relative scale we might still call the US welcoming though; its identity is much more built around immigration than other countries' identities are, citizenship requirements are much lower than many other "developed" countries, and even the language -- a mishmash of Romance and Germanic, with a phonetic alphabet, inherited from a trading empire -- is easy to use at a basic level (though its inconsistencies do pose problems for mastery), which again helps spread/assimilation. And in the US you at least can't openly act like your country represents a specific genetic/ethnic group (unlike in many other countries, where that identification is tacitly and unapologetically assumed).

It's the "cultural/mimetic dynamics" aspect that was interesting. The "P(A -> B) >> P(B -> A)" thing.

That this is additionally connected to tax revenue is also interesting. Money enters. Which is another fascinating subject.

These things -- populations, memes, capital flows, births, deaths, conversions -- all flow and swirl and transmutate around, like the weather. I am on the lookout for absorbing states.
I think it was fixed 2 weeks after the announcement: https://gmplib.org/repo/gmp/rev/5f32dbc41afc

Our success at procuring vaccines was, at best, dumb luck. If we had any idea what we were doing as a country, our death rate wouldn't have been so high and perhaps we wouldn't have needed to be so desperate for vaccines.

It's like setting yourself on fire and then being really proud of yourself when you manage to find a fire extinguisher.

I want to choose a phone where i cant sideload apps. I don't want competing app stores, i want all purchases and subscriptions in one place. But hey, screw what i want, nerds need leet decentralized apps to project their identity.
I want to unpack that statement to make sure I understand you correctly.

Did you just say that if statistics show that black Americans commit violent crimes at a much higher rate than whites, controlling for income, you would be in favor of racially segregated restrooms?

I personally find the idea of segregated restrooms to be incredibly offensive, no matter what the cause of this graph:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:USA_Homicide_Offending_Ra...

Looks like the homicide offender rate for blacks is 5X-8X for whites, depending on year. It isn't broken down by income but from my cursory knowledge of the statistics, that's not going to make the effect go away.

We could explore the root causes of this but I really don't think they matter. Segregated restrooms have no place in a civilized society, full stop.

As an aside, there are also plenty of species where females eat the males after mating. The problem with evolutionary arguments is that there's plenty of examples to choose from to advance any claim you'd like to make. We aren't those species.
Except here's the twist: Imagine if John Deere made their tractors from day one with the proprietary gasoline formula. And that people liked their tractors from day one and grew them into the behemoth they are today despite the formula.

That's more like what the current situation is.

In that case someone should build an streaming platform where there is no censorship, let the market decide.
This is good: Starlink or such would be probably an ideal way to connect a space telescope (or any spacecraft) to the internet.

This nicely show why Rust/WASM speed up things.

All that detective work? Is UNDOING what javascript do, idiomatically!

Can be argued that JS is "fast" after all that, but instead, that show Rust give it for free, because is idiomatic there.

The problem with JS and other mis-designed languages is that do easy things are easy, but add complexity is easier. And the language NOT HELP if you wanna reduce it.

In contrast, in Rust (more thanks to ML-like type system), the code YELL the more complex it becomes. And Rust help to simplify things.

That is IMHO the major advantage of a static type system, enriched on the ML family: The types are not there, per-se, as performance trick, but for guide how model the app, then you can model performance!

P.D: In other words? If JS were alike rust (ala: ML, plus more use of vectors!) it will be far easier to a) not get on a bad performance spot in first place b) easy to simplify things with type modeling!
I would absolutely not feel trusted if after working remotely for so long they say they “need” me to be in the office. I’d leave such a manager for another manager. Or that manager would be the reason I’m quitting and looking for a remote job tbh.
As fucked up as this sounds, beating their culture out of them was one of the more mundane things that went on in these awful places. I'm not sure who will read this so I'm uncomfortable going into much detail, but if you do some digging, you'll find stories so horrific that you may find yourself thinking "I wish they had stopped at beating the culture out of them."

These are some of the most horrible stories that I've ever heard. It's too horrific to even be believable fiction- the fact that it all happened and that I have graves of Indigenous children all around me is just about too terrible to think about. :(
It definitely becomes tiresome than downloading an alternative chat app from Playstore. Signal has been gaining ground in India since Whatsapp came up with its new terms. A ban on Playstore will hinder that progress.
Is US media worse, or has the ability of alternative media to thrive in the US (largely because of the First Amendment) just meant that the US citizens are more clued in on how corrupt their media are? Perhaps both.
OP's point was to remove any form of censorship.
Your ideas could have stood up on their own without the jab at "upper middle class white men". When you judge groups like that, you put too much diversity into a little box guaranteeing bad conclusions.
Then why can't they get any information about it? The list of kids who died at these schools is much shorter than the numbers that we're seeing here.

I don't get why anyone would so aggresively go out of their way to carry water for a company that doesn't even allow users to use a modern web browser if they wanted to.

are you paid to write this? what is your reason for being such an apple boosterist? do you really think waiting for specs to stabize is critical important to your day to day, that not having emerging features somehow saves you anything? why does absence buy you?

standardization requires implementation. we need the data. we need people to try things to succeed in making good standards. in my view, waiting till it's done to start is not an option. it's how not to make a standard.

I don't understand why you would work so hard to justify anti-web behaviors, particularly ones users are so vulgarly locked into.
Don't be surprised. Our journalists grew up on Cold War propaganda. They don't hire people from the 'other' team. I don't see the Western public ever breaking free from their IC narratives. Imagine a news report on the good deeds Russia/Iran/China do, automatic label of foreign state propaganda.

'Otherwise reasonable' does not negate ignorance and we are overflowing with ignorance thanks to our journalism(propaganda). Logic is some math term which automatically gets trashed because lolol im no good at math who needs that stuff amirite?.
A better analogy would be if Deere required a new fuel formulation that all the industry players had access to but no one else had sufficient clout/“courage” to use.
Of course it doesn't. But it does show how hard it is to come up with slogans. Can you think of a 'synonym' that isn't divisive, ill advised or harmful in any way? That's a high bar.
Creating viruses to sell anti-virus? That sounds like something McAfee would do, ironically.
Decent point, but I think the relevance is that there are large swaths of the US that are blanketed by this conservative news bubble, and that our Senate is apportioned (and to a lesser extent the House) to land, not people. So the fact that lots of land is covered by this bubble is relevant at least to the functioning of the Senate.

Any number more than 0 is too many. "Cops shoot unarmed white people too" is not the defense of cops you think it is.
Others explained why. But, it’s not really been necessary since maybe the early 90s, unless you have hardware terminals around?

It’s more efficient to echo CSI 0m, in shell than to run another process to do the same. Every mainstream terminal supports it.
It's also important to remember that Apple doesn't want to be like a PC or Android phone. They've said so in court filings. They view themselves as separate, and they also say that if you want sideloading, you have that choice by joining the other side.

In Apple's view, they are encouraging customer choice because customers have the ability to choose an open experience, or a closed experience, and the desire to force all experiences to be open removes choice. It's an argument very contrary to us on Hacker News but that's what Apple tries to get at.

I have an MSc in microelectronics. All transferable professional knowledge could have been self learned in about six months from a book. They didn’t teach us how to learn. They didn’t give us any guidance on that front at all in fact. It was just lectures, material (some incorrect!) and a framework in which personal growth was entirely restricted. Tutorials were rushed and incomplete, staff were rarely available for help and a lot of people flounced loudly in the first year over it.

As for incorrectness, to this day I am pissed off that one of the principal lecturers who had precisely zero industry experience shot down an email I sent privately to ask for some material to be corrected. How dare I submit errata! When I landed in industry I took this to a senior design engineer who explained to me in simple terms that the guy was a “jobsworth cunt”.

That being said, I do appreciate that allsides uses an interesting method to blind bias surveys to help categorize. But sometimes things don't always line up.
Yes, I think you’re exactly right. Overall it’s a good business strategy. I just personally think that in this case, it’s an example of “what’s best for profit margins” conflicting with “the best user experience for most users,” and the awkward place they’ve landed today is how they’ve split that difference.

This article is heavy on quotes but very light on actual data. This is a trend that I see in media (mainstream and otherwise), where they take something that is by nature very difficult to study, find some researchers or limited studies that fit their narrative, and then report it as gospel. It's really not that hard as a reporter to essentially start with the conclusion you want to end with and then to back into that with cherry picking supporting research.

And I really take issue with the racial angle that feels like it is basically part of every single NYT article these days. A lot of the issues reported here feel valid, but just zooming back out (maybe pun intended?) for a second, this reporter seems to be arguing that actual face-to-face interactions are so fraught with racism that minorities need to be "protected" by remote work to be on equal footing. If that is the case then we should address the root cause, not put everyone in their home office "safe space".

And to clarify, I'm not even commenting on the pros/cons of in-person interactions. I'm just commenting on yet another media piece that cherry picks some research and quotes to make their own opinion sound like it has more backing than it actually does.

How to Remember More of What You Learn with Spaced Repetition
First, make USD a fiat currency in 1971. Then, print a lot of money during the last 50 years.
Now, when non-banking US corporations debt is more than 50% of GDP govt needs a direction where to move in the future to somehow legitimize endless money printing/cheap debt or at least make it look more plausible. More people surveillance/control will not the hurt the government either.
One such way may be a "digital dollar", and in that case the government might need new "bankers" and new "credit card" companies. It is wise taking a risk to invest in this technology today. Who knows, maybe tomorrow you will end up an owner of a digital mint.

Ask HN: What was that old radio interview about personal computers?
Years ago, I saw on HN a fantastic link to an audio where a (British?) radio interviewer spoke to one of the pioneers of modern personal computing (Alan Kay?) and the guy keeps asking him what computers can do, that we don’t already have. He mentions human imagination, television, music playing and the Dewey Decimal system as things we already have. And the pioneer in computing is trying to explain how computers will eventually do programs to play music, or knit or whatever. And he explains how we will be able to find files, without the Deeey Decimal system. But the guy is skeptical.

If anyone here knows ... Can you please link me to such interviews, if there is more than one? Or to that specific interview? I would realky appreciate it! I can’t can’t it anywhere when I speak to people and make this point.
Partisanship and old loyalties make it very hard for people to see the Democratic Party has changed dramatically in the past few decades.

Used to be the party of civil liberties, now it's the party of censorship, surveillance, and totalitarianism. I tore my membership card up after the past year.

It'd be harder to ban existing installations I suppose.
I agree this was a open secret for decades, but I also think there are a large number of people who are learning about the horrifying things that went on at the residential schools for the first time. The stated policy was nothing short of ethnocide and if it takes "discovering" these issues to finally have the national conversation and action that is so badly needed then let's discover everything there is to know.

A problem cannot be fixed until everyone agrees there is a problem (see race relations in the US and climate change), so the more people who can be educated on what went on the better, because then we have a chance starting to heal (which will take generations).
