We usually do the same in France. Not so much out of a belief than the cold is necessary, but more so that it's practical to have the eggs close by the other ingredients.
You should read Shattered Sword, by Parshall and Tully. It is one of the most comprehensive accounts of Midway I've ever read, and dives deeply into Japanese archival sources in a way that the vast majority of histories of Midway do not. The last third of the book is a discussion of the effect that Midway had on the war.

The short version is that the Japanese did not have the merchant tonnage available to support operations already in progress at that point in the war. An invasion of Japan would've required landing several infantry divisions, across thousands of miles of open water, too far from any airstrips for land-based aircraft to support them. The Hawaiian islands are small, but Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii are big enough for maneuver warfare.

An American loss at Midway would've been a huge setback, especially had all three carriers been lost. The rate of commissioning of new Essex-class ships, not to mention the light and escort carriers, however, would've more than made up for the loss by mid-1943, and the Japanese simply did not have the industrial capacity to sustain a long naval war of attrition.

An American victory was not inevitable, but there's a fairly strong case to be made that the means by which the war was begun, by a sneak attack, had incensed the American populace sufficiently that even further serious naval defeats wouldn't've sapped their willingness to fight on. Indeed, several more American carriers were lost throughout 1942 (Hornet and Wasp), as well as the calamitous loss of four cruisers at Savo Island.
I'm trying to make a distinction between removing literal hooliganism and obstruction, like repetitive posts consisting of "aaaaa", goatse links, etc (the "moderation"), and removing meaningful but politically unpalatable content (the "censorship").

BTW I like how HN allows for moderation that makes certain low-quality comments invisible, but there is a mode when you still can inspect them if you want to. It's like the "spam" folder that allows you to have a clean inbox, but also allows you not to miss something that was deemed spam by mistake.

Do they need to tie WaPo into whatever antitrust may hit Amazon? As long as it's hurting Jeff Bezos, I'm sure some will be happy about it.
No idea what you’re trying to explain here. A business works when revenue exceeds expenses, not whatever you’re trying to talk about here.

I’m pretty sure “literally everyone” understands that, and not “literally nobody.”
You have to do it every day - creativity comes in bursts and you don't know when it's going to show up so you need to be the one showing up every day to work on it.

Hemingway would write (sober) every morning and then be drunk by lunch and for the rest of the day and early evening. But he worked every day for a few hours. People like to focus on his appetite for drinking but he got his work done first.
> We can’t have no moderation. There are a million reasons from spam to hostile government bots etc.

Why not though? Why can't I choose how I moderate spam? If platforms like Twitter and Facebook want to protect users from spam content, why can't there be law requiring any moderation operate as a opt-in / opt-out system so long as the content is otherwise legal? If a platform doesn't want to do this that's fine and we can just treat them as a publisher.

I'm sure some people will complain that Twitter is biased in how they operate their spam filters, but for me this is fine so long as whatever they're doing to curate the content is entirely optional.
There are different scales though. It is very hard to turn a $50M investment into a $500M exit. That requires chasing unicorns. But you can find many more opportunities to turn a $1M investment into a $10M return. Same 10x factor, very different investment scale, and also very different portfolios.
Sounds great! Fits exactly in what they said about every bit being helpful.

Silent, bulk, state-mandated surveillance.

Both for the at-home surveillance, as well as to counter the effect of storing it elsewhere, and permitting that state silent, bulk surveillance of the data of your own subjects/citizens.
This already assumes people are good and get along and are high trust.

What if I’m in a crew am a nice talker and get to scope things out for my crew as we chit chat?

It’s the same thing that did in the lonely hearts clubs. Swindlers came in to the rescue and take advantage of a lonely set of people. In this case people who are open and inviting and trusting of random strangers.
I actually had this exact experience in a civics class in junior high school -- in 1979! We pored through the stock listings in a physical newspaper every day for several weeks and recorded our buy and sell decisions. The "winner" bought a penny stock which went from 1/8 to 1/4 in a day (or something like that). And I did in fact learn exactly the wrong lesson from that because 20 years later I lost a fair bit of money in the dotcom boom trying to replicate that strategy.

It is very hard to come up with a teaching strategy that can overcome survivorship bias.
I voluntarily quit my job once and had the 8 most productive months of my life working on side projects. But, I can see being laid off as doing the opposite. Depression can be a real bitch
What's outdated about it?
I think that if its not single-handedly causing this, its by far the biggest factor. The ways in which our world has been altered by the rise of the internet are things we haven't even begun to comprehend. I think most of our modern societal "ills" that we frequently lament about today seem to all trace back to extreme individualism and narcissism, both of which are fueled largely by the internet and social media.
I read the explanation section and none of them mention anything Soviet related. Just general stuff like less food available for them. So this should be happening across the planet not just Ex Soviet countries

It’s as insufficient as a human looking at a photo. We don’t outlaw humans looking at surveillance videos, so why is a machine fundamentally any more biased here?
If you calculate the US conviction rate in the same way, it is also around 99%.

Thanks for answering, I appreciate. I found good documentation in https://mariadb.com/kb/en/lock-in-share-mode/ but I am not sure how it works in Postgres: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/explicit-locking.html

It says "This mode protects a table against concurrent data changes" but it does not elaborate how. Is it similar in consequences to what MariaDB describes?
I was thinking about KYC and my idea was something like:

You want to promote your micropayments and therefore give your customers for example $1 as a gift and they just need an email address to sign up on your platform.

Once they have $10 in their account they have to at least give you their phone number/address before they can trade more money.
Now you have 12 customers sending money to customer A who has now $12 in their account. In the meantime customer A sent out $1 to somebody else.

Depending on who sent, got the money first you have breached the $10 limit.

And I don’t grasp how this use case can be met with double bookkeeping besides using a single synchronous ledger (or maybe virtual accounts to do reconciliation).
If you now have customer A maybe in USA and customer B on another continent I am even more clueless about latency. :)
You need social proof.

One way can be to partner up with a high velocity VC. This might be a lot of work and probably strings attached.

Another could be partnering with HR hiring companies. In all cases you'll need to have a somewhat established reputation and clients rolling in way before going the "marketplace" route.

Good luck!
I'm not sure it's to feel smart or make a facetious argument, but yeah wow. This article is about government coercion--not Twitter moderation.

According to the article, the US is the number two requestor of takedowns today.
I hope you’re right. Maybe in the future we’ll look back on the 20th century as a time of Great Change and the 21st was when we had to figure out how to make it all work.
There are already approximately 250,000 objects in low earth orbit 2cm and up. The risk from these constellations isn't from the satellites themselves directly, but from Kessler syndrome if they start getting smashed by untracked debris.

One way is to compel (via legislation) all social media networks to speak a decentralized protocol. Another is to make Mastodon, etc a lot better because every one I've tried has been pretty abysmal. In other words, make a product that is compelling enough to get people to move over to it.
Standards don't provide such filtering functionality and telcos operate their equipment as a black box, so they don't have ability to implement additional features, especially when there is no business case for that and it could open them to new liability (undermining safe harbor arrangement).
Consistency is a super power if applied right.

Most people don't do things consistently and of those who do only a few do the right things.

In the long run, you outrun everyone who doesn't keep doing the right things.
Not really. One can have the knowledge and understand the mechanics of a trait, and is still unable to succedd in this trait. Especially creative fields are guilty of this. Similar is sports. A great coach can still be lousy player. Because at the end for success you need far more than just knowledge.
The point is that for the purposes of the lesson the time horizon is too short to know if a student got lucky or made a good decision based on research and the like.

Anecdotally I won one of these leagues in school by picking penny stocks and moving in and out of them a lot. Not the lesson in long term investing the teacher wanted to convey…
That still would have happened with a single spring-loaded door that swings both ways, which are the real problems in play.
There is a lot of luck in starting a successful company, but the ideas are NOT all equivalent and don't have equal probability of success. One thing that may be easier than picking winners is avoiding losers. Ever read the book F'd Companies? Most of those are absurd on their face, yet people invested a lot of time and money into them.
> If you were aware of Bitcoin when it was worth a couple hundreds of dollars and you wrote it off as a fad or whatever and turns out you were completely wrong about it, you would definitely feel like you missed out, no?

I was aware of Bitcoin when it was under a dollar. I wrote it off as a fad. I continue to write it off as a fad, albeit one that became more dangerous than I expected.
If we take your argument further all engineers should be given the root password to all production servers and we should simply trust them (and keep logs) to not use the password?

Access control is something so central to IT systems that I'm frankly dumbstruck that someone would argue against them on HN.
I mean, there is no need for opinion here, cryptocurrency trading is, mathematically and objectively speaking, a negative-sum game. There is no value created, so all money going out of the system comes from money other people put in. And miners steadily dilute the pool and cash out a fraction of what would otherwise be a zero-sum game.

You can not, on average, come out ahead by trading bitcoins.
There is not a single country in the world where largest bank is not a bank based in that country. Like money, data is something sovereign nations want to control.

EU, China and India all have areas where they want US based firms to store data in a specific way. This isn't changing anytime soon.
Does that take bonuses into account? Goldman (and others in the industry) tend to have lower base pay with a much higher bonus. It's typical for low level employees to get a year-end bonus equal to about 50-60% of their salary. As they advance to mid-level their bonus will equal their salary and, if they're in a senior position, it will greatly exceed their salary.

Goldman’s payday is through bonuses, not the base salary.
Is it? The whole point to this thread is that none of the big players stood by their "promises" for longer than a few months. Especially Google's hypocrisy of promoting DNT in Chrome and knowing full well their adtech teams would ignore it as soon as they had an excuse. (Microsoft and Mozilla enabling it by default sure was a "good" excuse, despite that obviously being the best interest of the users.)
> As a EU citizen I do hope things won’t progress any further in this political regard because that will be the death of the Union

why would it be? The Union has evolved feom an agreement to coordinate coal and steel production to much more, and helped keep peace and bring wealth and integration. Globally the challenges are however not purely economic, economy and politics always mix - see China or Trump's arbitrary tariffs. Why would deeper integration be death of the Union?

For me deeper integration is very much needed as plainly the EU countries are mostly too small to play any global role individually and will be bullied by China & co if they don't get more closely together.
The parent to my comment was asking about law and specifically about violation of the law. Laws are about specific text and wordings in documents, who can create the laws and how they are interpreted by others (US courts).

I never said the philosophical idea about freedom of speech was only limited to 1st amendment, just my interpretation of the law as the commenter was asking (IANAL).

I believe there should be an independent (as in outside the company) review process for bans/reinstatement - something standardized across various social media platforms, maybe per country jurisdiction if necessary. That is an ideal whose implementation would be extremely hard.

What Is Congress' Plan to Crackdown on Big Tech?
You are getting downvoted but this is 100% true. Imagine if every maps provider or weather app had to launch their own satellites to offer basic functionality. A large collective investment into core infrastructure benefits everyone. Not every aspect of life needs to be a privatized free for all.
Just showing up everyday to work on a side project on top of a day job and your other life commitments is no small feat, and personally that kind of consistency and perseverance is not something I find easy to do.

On the other hand, procrastinating from a task by overly planning and reading/thinking about the best way to get it done, now that is much more natural

Seriously though, this is a hard thing to keep up, so congrats to them. Most people fail to even consistently show up each day to brush their teeth.
This is like saying I don’t need an apartment because i can cheaply live at the office during weekdays 9-5.
I absolutely agree with this. A lot of what’s in papers is boilerplate - stuff to say “yes, I’ve read the other relevant works. Yes, I understand how qualitative research works. No, my study is not based on the opinions of my four closest friends”. In my field I’d usually skim the abstract, and maybe from there read the description of the apparatus, conclusions, and further work if the study looked particularly interesting. But you can get 60-90% of a paper’s value from the abstract.
Counterevidence: some of them (perhaps all) have a hardware switch to mute the microphone, a requirement allegedly set by the CEO.

Parallel evidence: the Ring acquisition has aggressively integrated itself with police forces.

Partial evidence: some of the devices are known to retain data even after being reset to factory settings (I presume it's a bug).

It has to be listening all the time for its activation command and we have no idea what it's doing with the data that comes in and is determined not to be the activation command.

"Look, many countries are enforcing privacy rights; the ad model isn't sustainable. You should start a social media network with a different model so that you can be the first mover who benefits from network effects when the privacy shoe finally drops".

Something like that, although I don't delude myself into thinking that's coming in the near future unless perhaps Apple makes it part of its new privacy-centric campaign. Even then I'm not sure Apple would do better with respect to free speech and moderation.
Moderation still exists in your system, presumably as a default-on.
Gosh that really made you upset didn't it.
mmh, but really. You can pass laws forbidding certain stuff. But you cannot enforce that globally. Bans on certain weapons do work to some extent, but there are still people creating and using them. And these things are not only unethical, but also not really useful. Every attempt to use them ended badly for those who tried.
Now imagine ruling out a technology that is effective and profitable and not so obviously unethical.

I really am out of words to describe this article. The title should be made the first commandment in the laws of programming (or any field).

It is so effective that you don’t need to read the article the title says it all.

Most people fail at keeping this rule because their mind perceives it to be too simple to keep and falls prey to overconfidence.
As a sofware engieer I disagree: most software engineers have an edge over dumb analysts in analyzing companies, like Amazon / Apple / Tesla / Google / Walmart / Bitcoin / Ethereum / Goldman Sachs. We may not have a deep understanding in the balance sheet, but being able to read the code, APIs, and protocols (SWIFT vs BIPs, lightning protocol, cryptography books, testing infrastructure for example) we can see and understand how well products will work years in advance. The trick is to go deep into technical details.

I think if you're afraid of memory corruption inside the WASM heap, it's better to use Rust instead of C or C++. WASM's job is to prevent code inside the sandbox from escaping the sandbox, not to prevent memory corruption inside the sandbox.

This is a very strong philosophical assumption.

Logic definitely exists as a method in human philosophy. You could argue that it's somehow "baked in" to the universe, whether by a creator or by some other cause, and that we only discovered it and didn't invent it. But the claim that it transcends our universe and would exist and be accessible from all other possible universes, even ones with different physics, different kinds of space and time (two temporal dimensions? who knows?) etc doesn't seem obvious in the slightest.

This is especially true when there are so many types of logic used in mathematics and philosophy to begin with: first-order or higher-order logic, constructive logic, Peano arithmetic, Zermelo-Fraenkel, ZF with Choice, etc.

Even once you have the axioms, they may support different models. Are just the axioms true universally, but models varying across universes? Is it possible that there are universes where all statements are true? Are there universes with Choice and others without it?

Two recommendations that I think will be especially suited to the personality type that’s already matched to software development:

1) The Professional Chef - This is the textbook used in culinary schools. It’s advanced but it starts out from first principles assuming no prior knowledge and just methodically walks through literally every concept one could ever encounter. Not for everyone but if you’re the type that likes to just RTFM this is it.

2) Cooked by Michael Pollan - This is basically the opposite of the textbook I recommended, it’s all high level and narrative and conceptual but as someone who was just starting to cook seriously I found it life changing, it did so much to contextualize what I was doing, so it wasn’t just procedural recipies. This helped me a lot in learning how to open up the fridge pick some ingredients and just know what to do next. Also it’s a breezy read.
Russia is self-sufficient in energy and military power, existing sanctions against the country as a whole act as a catalyst of local development of alternatives to foreign goods and services. The process is far from being painless and efficient, but that is a common challenge of bootstrapping everything new in any other region/domain, and it doesn't indicate efficacy of any of the existing sanctions. Certain individuals might be at inconvenience or even net loss of course, depending on their reliance on relations with EU and US (visas, international business opportunities, exchange programs etc)
