> The Professional Chef

It's a great book. Most of the recipes do need to be scaled for home purposes (eg. soup recipes are one US gallon, mains are "makes 10 servings").

One of the neat things about the book is that many of the techniques illustrated end with "evaluate the quality of the finished product," which serves as a reminder to check what was done and how it can be improved.
It is a common part of the discussions of the effects of climate change but not sure that the models address it at that granularity. Cities are not a large percentage of the earth’s surface.
ME TOO. It's getting close but, wow, what a pile of work it's been.
Yup, but I'd go even simpler. Imagine An OS-level switch to put arbitrary network traffic over TLS.

I'm sure you'd need various switches for edge cases, custom keys etc, but... imagine. Quick and dirty network apps? Half the security battle is done. Crusty endpoint security solutions downgrading your encryption? No need. Malware sending an encrypted traffic? Stands out like a sore thumb, because it's the only thing not sending cleartext to the socket.

Yes, if your OS is compromised, your processes encryption is. Guess what - that's already the case.
> Hosting someone's video for free without even interrupting it with ads seems like the opposite of censorship to me.

Doesn't demonetization on YT just mean the ads still run but the money doesn't flow to the creator anymore? Considering YouTube does it that way with copyright claims and also automatically added ads to previously ad-free videos just because they could, it would surprise me if they'd remove video ads by themselves.
The problem is that it only takes a small percent to ruin it for all. If one in 10 people is awful, and you have 10 meetings with an even random distribution, then everyone will have a story about how they got swindled.
> I swear the last 4 years drove the vast majority of everyone insane, in a very literal sense.

Our current situation reminds me of the brain-eating computer on the book Diamond Age that somebody created to crack passwords. It's like a lot of people are simply gone, and some superconciousness too over their bodies, and it's on the controls 24/7.

I still hope this reverses once the simplistic ideas get hit again and again by reality. Those groups are working very hard to shield themselves, but I imagine some portion of them must always be exposed to the real world.
Maybe just blindly copying what your competitors are doing isn't the greatest strategic plan.

Sometimes I get the impression that Twitter is like an un-moderated comments section, where people comment on comments.

Almost like an infinitely connected comments sections, bringing many of the challenges of the once-isolated comments sections.
The "marketplace of ideas" is a fiction that has long since been debunked. The best ideas arent the ones that win out, it's the loudest ones and the ones that appeal to our most base emotions that win. Only a small percentage of people actually possess intellectual curiosity. Most just mindlessly follow social trends.
*Are* these sites popular as functions of individual choices? It’s been pretty well established that governments and regulators in the U.S. overlooked the actions of or actively supported these companies from the start.

AWS Workspaces is actually pretty good too.
Thanks! No, $doc2data is not a standard function. JSONata allows you to define your own functions (https://docs.jsonata.org/embedding-extending#expressionregis...). JSONata is great for transformation and we added functions for loading data.
Governments care about financial data for a lot of legitimate reasons, including fraud, criminal activity, etc. Having the data local makes sending legal notices for data access easier and makes supervision easier. A country shouldn't rely on sending international data-access petitions to random data centers with possibly hostile governments who will fight them on jurisdiction and non-treaty grounds.

I think what they're doing makes sense.
This is really interesting to play around with. There are some heuristics that are being used that seemed odd to me until I remembered that this is supposed to be for diagramming, not necessarily for ASCII art.

For instance, this draws an obtuse angle and a right angle that are not connected to each other:

_/|__

This simply adds height to the right angle, but does not connect them:

.
_/|__

But this connects both angles together with a sharp point:

+
_/|__

Also, a bit of a nitpick: while I love the amount of examples, I wish they were sectioned off rather than having all of the unformatted text in a single textarea on the left and all rendered images on the right. Trying to scroll the page, I keep scrolling the textarea instead, which breaks the alignment.

Overall, super cool project. I'm looking forward to trying this in real world scenarios soon

> There may be something there, but again I believe the overriding factor is that most people don't understand how little they need to eat when they're driving and sitting all day.

I don't disagree with this, but I think there must be another compounding factor. People never used to count calories, and yet in my own (150lb loss) experience it is necessary because my body wants to eat more than it needs to.
Actually that's a good analogy.

If there weren't people that blindly accepting it as the truth and verified everything this wouldn't be bad, in fact would be good because it could drive attention to something that perhaps was ignored.

Unfortunately large part of population has no idea how to do fact checking, and what's worse many take their news from the Facebook.
> I feel like HN should have a special flag called "survivorship bias" that we can use to tag posts like this

Pointing out the possibility of survivorship bias doesn't add anything to the conversation on articles like this. The author never claimed that everyone who works consistently will have a successful startup. The article is barely about startups at all.

We get it - Startup success isn't guaranteed and following someone else's actions isn't a guarantee that you'll get the exact same results. Startups fail and advice isn't one size fits all. I really don't want warnings that "results may vary" appended to every article about someone's success when we all already know that success is variable.

It's also missing the point of the article. The founded startup was just an example of something that was accomplished by consistent daily effort, but it's obviously not the only thing that can be accomplished with consistent daily effort.

The core idea of doing a little bit of work every day adding up into something bigger over time applies to more than just building startups, survivorship bias or not.
They've opened Pandora's box, because now every Joe and Karen realized they can weaponize censorship by being offended by everything.
It's very difficult to improve oneself without understanding the mechanisms, context, and history that contribute to one's behavior.
My experience has been that a small amount of work each day builds mental momentum which can snowball into something bigger when my schedule opens up and I have some free time & an idea that excites me.
I currently look at Twitter as a destination for socially approved statements.

Twitter is a place where you are either celebrated for having approved perspectives or risk professional destruction.

New users can only be craven popularity chasers. Old users either conform or quit. Why would anyone play in that sandbox if you have any respect for diverse opinions?
That argument would imply that the terms of service are worthless as the platform owner can do whatever they want. That’s not how contracts work, at least not in Germany.
Indeed. I looked for the definition in the whole webpage but couldn’t find it. Even Googling initially failed. https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.06347
I think we have proven time and time again that you can not actually create your own platform, if you try then come after your hosting providers, your network provider, your advertisers, your payment processors, and if that fails they find your family to go after their employers, etc etc etc

So the "just create your own platform" trope has be tried and failed.
True, but if you don't have a car and are going downtown to downtown, it's probably faster to take a train or bus, given that it takes almost an hour to get from downtown Seattle to SeaTac by transit and a shorter-but-still-nontrivial amount of time into Portland on the Max on the other end, plus ticketing, boarding, etc. I think it really only makes sense if you're connecting.
I would think that a big problem here is to only allow correcting typos, not changing meaning of a tweet - which would suck for a public, fast-paced platform like twitter.

This isn't as simple as counting the number of changed characters, especially when you have to consider at least dozens, better hundreds, of languages.

But then again you can already cram about ten times as much meaning into a single tweet if you write in Chinese or Japanese, so maybe they just don't care.
Please note this is the process where I worked but it is different depending on where you are and which level of government you're dealing with (municipal, county, state, federal, etc.) Also I am not a legal expert, this is simply my experience while working in the system.

It varies by jurisdiction, but in most cases you can be arrested on a warrant and held for "first appearance" before a judge, where you are either formally charged by the court or the charges are dropped. If you are arrested on a Friday evening in a jurisdiction that doesn't do weekend court (usually smaller cities and counties), you will stew in jail until said first appearance on Monday. If the charges are dropped at first appearance (which is usually held by videoconference) you are released but the arrest remains on your record until you have it expunged. If you are formally charged at first appearance, you then either receive a bail/bond amount, are released on your own recognizance, or else bound over for indictment. Once indicted, you again may be able to make bail unless the charges/circumstances determine you are to be held without bail (i.e. you are considered a danger to yourself/others/your alleged victim, or you are a flight risk).
They used to say "you are what you eat". That's still true, but I think it's even more true that you are what you give your attention to.
Is this not in direct conflict with the quote from the article / OP. The summary should have this been “regardless of the the contract, we hold that …” which is different from the aforementioned quote:

> The German court held that YouTube failed to make its enforcement authority clear in its contract with the account operator who posted the video.
The advertisers are bluffing when they threaten these boycotts. They're not going to stop advertising on google, facebook, twitter, etc., which these days probably represents a majority of their advertising budget and even more of their ROI. They'll make threats because it costs them nothing, but all the platforms need to do is say "no" and that would be the end of it. Even better: immediately ban the accounts of companies that make these threats. They won't receive any more of them.
The post even mentions a Big Sur / Monterey visual refresh currently in development. As "maintenance mode" projects go, this looks like the best of the best.
Something to keep in mind here: The employees of the Bank of England are ultimately government employees.

They are subjected to the pay scales dictated by bureaucrats and politicians. Of course, they can't attract the caliber of engineers that works for large commercial cloud providers, so they have to settle for programmers that didn't make the cut. And the leadership is non-technical and from the financial and government worlds (you know how these "elites" see programmers and software engineers in the UK...).

The existing bureaucrats running the bank probably see the Cloud as something that will reduce their headcount (why would they have sysadmins and datacenter employees on their payroll when they can simply buy it from a reliable provider), thus making them look less important to other managers. The existing unionized employees see it as a threat to their stable jobs (they are now competing with engineers that are 10x their caliber). That's a pretty bad thing for both.
At any given time 15-18 out of the top 20 stories are Ben Shapiro and others. Its definitely a money-maker, and also at an existential level they feel republicans are less likely to regulate them than democrats. Ironically the right has seen themselves as the victims in this arrangement and seeks to force their moderation to allow extremism.
> Your Tweets may be archived on another site anyway

Or in the databases of one of their data stream customers, or in the database of someone that customer made the data available or on-sold it to. If you're a Twitter customer you're supposed to read and apply their stream of updates and deletes to your database, so that when someone deletes a tweet in Twitter you delete it too, but in practice Twitter doesn't seem to care or enforce that this happens. It's also just a lot from a technical perspective, the volume of these changes is large.

The only reasonable behaviour is to assume that your government (local police, military, whoever - probably multiple separate agencies) has all your tweets, forever. Not because they hacked Twitter or had the NSA tap the lines - they just bought the data from someone Twitter sold it to. Twitter probably doesn't even know who these down-stream buyers are.

(I know for a fact this is happening)
Interesting idea, and that does set a BATNA for any private sales. Looks like it's worth $400 via trade-in, which is a little better than I expected. Good to know!
I do not want to, nor do I use any of the big platforms now... I have no twitter account, no facebook account, no insta account, no tiktok account, etc...

I have locals.com account, reddit accounts (which is diminishing amount of my usage as they continue to "mainstream" aka censor the site) , and HN, that is pretty much it for me
which has to be managed separately for every combination of OS and browser. If all employees use chrome on windows, that's not too bad, but if you have employees using a variety of different setups, it it is more complicated to set up.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I believe a website should be able to choose what videos it hosts.

If it wants to host anything legal, liveleak-style - then that's fine.

But if it decides to remove whatever video it wants then that also should be fine.
I don't think this is "caring less about hiding it". They lied to the private investigators they were using. I think this is just "getting caught".
Why would an attacker in your intranet who's looking at your network traffic be passive? When people talk about passive attackers they're talking about the NSA/ your ISP, not someone who's hands-on-keyboard sniffing traffic.

There's virtually no reason to do encryption without authentication in your intranet.
I get what you're saying, but I just don't agree. They're only different in the abstract. At some point an incredibly noxious (but legal) video gets posted, complaints pour in, and you are either continuing to host it or you aren't. That's a decision and having a policy of "we never remove legal videos" doesn't absolve you.

Anyway, a social platform that only removes illegal content (not even spam?) sounds absolutely dreadful and I would not use it and no one would pay to advertise on it.
Small electric planes do not fly as fast as the current passenger Jets, theor speed is going to be comparable to a high speed train.

In fact i'd say europe could avoid airplanes entirely if it could sort out it's rail network, but, alas, going from Londom to Prague I'd have to change like 6 trains. You have to cross many different national signalling systems, gauge sizes and ticket offices.
I don't think you have to reject the churchgoers to reject the church. Some of the people I feel closest to are devoutly religious. When we eat together I pray with them as a matter of respecting their tradition and participating in the culture, and it is an enjoyable thing to do.

The church has gone out of its way to be unwelcoming to many people, and I just don't want to be part of it. I've been to one church service where the preacher spent a large fraction of the sermon vitriolically condemning atheists. I'm not going to argue with him, but I'm also not going back for more.

I'm not trying to mess up anyone else's tradition, but if churches are shrinking and losing power I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing.
I'd be really interested in knowing where you disagree and why, if you have time to do a writeup.
It’s not about water rights specifically. I’d argue that being by the Great Lakes or in one of the midwest river basins is a sure bet of having drinkable well water in 10 years

All of our legal decisions are facades for the reality of existence. Money is the same, especially debt - why should we not chafe at the entire concept of debt?

These models are convenient fictions so we can rally around shared ideas. One of those shared ideas is that people can own information - it's not technically true, but we as a society have decided it as useful.
Billion dollar companies are composed of people individually acting within their rights and although they should be provided no special privileges neither should they lose their individual rights. Having companies have too close a relationship with donors is a defect not a reasonable basis for regulating businesses as if they were in fact part of the government.
Yes, because the difference is that they are essentially immutable personal traits. The parent was presenting this scenario as an equivalent one and I don't think they are.
What happens if one party, either parent or child, will not "understand the other's perspective"? What happens if "talking them through" just turns into another replay of the same argument?

I have come to the conclusion that my parents, who of course had their flaws, were damn nigh perfect.
> Leaving up a popular anti-vax video is just as political a decision as taking it down.

Why is it political? They didn't commission the content or request that it be created and hosted on their platform in any way. They're offering the same reasonable self-hosting process that they offer to anyone who shows up with an email address.

It only seems to become political when you decide to take action and either protect or remove the material. You're now no longer a disinterested third party, you're making editorial decisions and it's hard to believe they've taken this step without considering the impact of those decisions.
Wow, thanks for spotting that typo, man!

But why is it unreasonable?
> We need a simple solution for this -- a solution that works even for small businesses that do not have an IT department. (That means installing certificates on each end-user's machine is not a reasonable solution.)

I don't get it. Why even have an intranet then? Use Google Drive to share files, or Dropbox, or whatever. Why do you have an intranet at all if you don't want to manage an intranet?
deleting tweets is somewhat pointless when you consider existence of things like wayback machine.
The SPAC was trying to take a YC company, Momentus[1], go public:

"In November 2019, a special purpose acquisition company called Stable Road Acquisition Corp. went public, raising $172.5 million from investors to merge with a company to be named later... Stable Road’s sponsor Brian Kabot met Mikhail Kokorich, the founder of a company called Momentus Inc., which makes plasma space rockets... Anyway Kokorich talked a good game about his plasma space rockets, and Kabot had $172.5 million burning a hole in his pocket, so a deal was struck."

My company takes a reasonable approach to this I think. The hackathon itself takes place Thursday and Friday, so it happens on work days. But the judging takes place Monday, so there's an obvious opportunity to continue to work over the weekend. No one has ever mentioned it though.

Also the whole C-suite takes part in the judging so it really is an opportunity to show off your work.

They don't need to stop all advertising. They can simply stop advertising on Youtube and focus advertising on Facebook, or stop on Twitter and focus on Tik Tok.

They can pit the providers against each other. And that's basically how a free market works.

While that may be true.. do you not believe that the exceptional openness of either of those two platforms has an impact on places outside of them? Do you think there's no intangible benefits to you by these places merely existing?

I can't speak to other countries, but in the US, politicians are not especially well paid. The President makes $400k; Senators and representatives get $174k. Top GS scale employees make $144k.

It's certainly nothing to sneeze at, but many of them were making more before they went into politics. And most of them have to maintain two homes, one in DC and another in their district. It's a small multiple of US average worker salary, but less than one order of magnitude (except for the President, who makes as much as ~12 average Americans).

Most are rich, but they were rich before. It's expensive to go into politics. It's not impossible to get into Congress without being rich, but most are.
Merkel grew up in a country where you could be "banned" for anything. I'm not surprised that she doesn't like the idea of private companies deciding according to their own (not democraticly chosen) rules who should speak and who shouldn't.
