That subtitle really just reads as a doubling down on information that is in dispute.

That is, we have research that shows you strengthen beliefs by weakening evidence.

Now, to your point. This weakened the evidence, it did not falsify it. Does feel very similar.

Not OP, but I think in this context "holding a vendor accountable" means "if the product sucks, you will stop paying them."
The CCP policy should be considered 'Thought Control' where censorship is just one control vector.

It's not enough to get rid of things they don't want you exposed to, it's that societal norms for what is considered normative and taboo have to be strictly controlled.

Some mention (as a commenter below) the fact 'Anyone can access outside withe a VPN! - but to some extent this is not the issue.

It's probably just fine if a small portion of educated people can access Wikipedia. What matters is hard control of the critical mass of citizens.

Admittedly, China would have to shut down specific access in the case of Twitter mobs etc. - they won't allow that 'easily with a VPN' etc..

If the average Chinese remains 'pragmatically loyal to the state' then it's a win.

I think the most powerful part of that strategy is to infuse and conflate the CCP with 'China' itself and with ethnic Han Superiority itself as a defacto subtext.

You can really influence people a lot if you can control most of what they see daily. If the 'Daily Propaganda' is good, i.e. doesn't look totally hypocritical even in the face of facts, then it will work.

Of course it happens in America and other places to greater and lesser extent, but China has taken it to the next level.

I fear that Cuba will not only take China's cue, but literally invite them in to help - and that this will spread.

This is spot on. The only wrinkle -- Twitter could actually do something to create separate communities if they wanted. Some large investors have asked them to. They've drafted up plans to create a separate space for financial discussion. Just haven't acted on it.

I really just think it comes down to Twitter being poorly run. I know Paul Singer made a run to have Dorsey replaced as CEO, but eventually backed off. They seem to lean into the divisiveness. It may be beneficial for short-term engagement but it essentially creates a negative emotional experience for customers. And that's going to come home to roost eventually.
Suppose an employee has a salary of 1,000$ per month. If the employer sets this filter at 50%, the employee can only withdraw up to 500$ on Payflow. Makes sense?

Contemporaries certainly did not consider MLK's actions to be "rousing and elegant". He was cast as a rabble-rouser and a complainer by the establishment and called responsible for property damage done during the civil rights protests.

It is only in retrospect that MLK has been adopted by the establishment as the "good" protestor and his voice has been twisted to support a "colorblindness" that he never supported.

Input ≠ Understanding
As the amount of available data grows, the problem of managing the information becomes even more difficult. There's so much information in the world right now that we simply don't know what to do with it.

There's no running from that fact no matter how hard you try, We're right at the epicentre of it all. If the explosion has limited impact on you, then the shrapnel is bound to hit.

The more of all this we are exposed to, the more we look for to make sense of it. After watching YouTube videos about an idea, we pick up essays on it, then books, then on a podcast, and so on.

Computer Scientists refer to this problem of ever-growing information needs as Combinatorial explosion. Complete understanding requires increasingly more and more information. This combination of everything you need to understand in order to understand eventually becomes unbearable thus exploding.

Ever-increasing input does no guarantee understanding. In fact, inputs prompt more questions.

Our brains were not built with the functionality of keeping up with input.

It does the opposite. Picking out the most useful stuff and leaving the rest behind. Remembering everything is unnecessary, often counterproductive, And is in contrast with what our minds do best: Abstraction.

As Computer Scientist Edsger Dijkstra wrote, The purpose of abstraction is not to be vague, but to create a new semantic level in which one can be precise.

If there’s combinatorial explosion due to the limitless information input, and we live in a world where there's no running away from all the input, then we have to imitate the brain in stowing away every other piece of information but the most useful ones.

Perhaps now, with a Second brain, we have somewhere to store and retrieve most of what would have been trimmed away by our brains. The first one.

I don't recall encountering this specific 100x claim, but I do recall Steve McConnell making a similar case early in Code Complete. In chapter three, he has a chart showing that the average cost of fixing defects post-release is 10-100 more expensive than during requirements, which he supports with the following citations:

"Design and Code Inspections to Reduce Errors in Program Development" (Fagan 1976)

Software Defect Removal (Dunn 1984)

"Software Process Improvement at Hughes Aircraft" (Humphrey, Snyder, and Willis 1991)

"Calculating the Return on Investment from More Effective Requirements Management" (Leffingwell 1997)

"Hughes Aircraft's Widespread Deployment of a Continuously Improving Software Process" (Willis et al. 1998)

"An Economic Release Decision Model: Insights into Software Project Management" (Grady 1999)

"What We Have Learned About Fighting Defects" (Shull et al. 2002)

Balancing Agility and Discipline: A Guide for the Perplexed (Boehm and Turner 2004)

I only have one of these (Dunn), and it's boxed up in the attic, so I can't readily check their sources, but I somehow doubt that all of these simply launder the study under discussion.

I don't want to trivialize some of the good points that Hillel Wayne makes about soft-science research applied to software productivity, but he would have us dismiss all of these citations out of hand, simply because they predate capital-A Agile, which of course changes everything. That doesn't strike me as a particularly compelling approach either.

You do not, and should not, have a right not to be tracked. You should have a right to know if a given company wants to track you, and to decide if you want to still do business with them as a result. Similarly, they should have the right to know if you are going to block/evade tracking and be able to decide if they still want to do business with you as a result. This is how a free market works.
The ARC design immerses the vacuum vessel in a bath of molten salt (which is where the Be is, in lithium beryllium fluoride (FLiBe) salt). That salt is where the neutrons deposit their heat. Replacing the Be with lead means the heat is getting deposited in that lead (or, more likely, molten lead-lithium alloy).

Even though ARC uses salt, it would also have to worry about voltages induced by flow across magnetic field lines -- not because of currents, but because if the voltage becomes high enough it can induce electrochemical reactions, like production of elemental fluorine (or corrosion of metal where the fluorine would have been evolved.) I think they keep the velocity x coolant channel diameter low enough to avoid that, but it's still a consideration they have to address.
So honor system? Or a local deployment software that requires NSO authentication but doesn't share any data?

A vanishingly small minority of users hurting society.

Let’s compare that with the list we have. All the users are being spied on illegally. Some leading to deaths.
100% of use is society harming.

Guns are a tool statistically not used often for crime.

NSO’s software on the other hand is used for crime exclusively.

I'm confused how you can paint individual violence in broad strikes and promote government violence as sanctioned? Tyranny happens when governments have a monopoly on force. Vigilantism is necessary when the government is corrupt or inefficient. To look past the need for individual retribution and justice is naive.

I don't even have to search for 2 minutes before I can bring up countless articles about missing children, murders, thefts, and other immoral acts that the police or federal agencies do not care or have enough resources to address. These victims' only recourse is vigilantism. It's easy to sit in an ivory tower of bureaucracy when you haven't been affected by the corruption or incompetence of the nanny state.

Wow, I thought you were about to object to the generalization of an end-usr denigrating HN perspective!

Okay, even if it is "entitled" to expect something for nothing, it's dishonest not to be clear and upfront about the costs. In fact, if you think the entitlement is misplaced then it's really a failure of the service providers in educating the users rather than a failure of the users themselves.

If you don't agree, it would suggest that you think the average user should be able to read the world the way you do and understand the subtext of "free" services without having to spell it out. Would you be suggesting then that it's okay to take advantage of people who don't understand this the way you do?

I find myself agreeing. I utilize a few subreddits from time to time, mostly about entertainment, and all of them have very homogeneous opinions and aggressively downvote subjective dissent and verbally gang up against it, which I've certainly not noticed elsewhere.

Yes. Personal Computers were typewriters and calculators for the first 10 years. That's not to diminish their importance - quite the opposite. The impact changed the world. That's why it took a whole decade. Consider that when the IBM PC was launched, offices the world over had typing pools populated by women whose job it was to type whatever they were given.

Spreadsheets changed the world. We went from 1 or 2 types of tuna and 1 or 2 types of olive oil in the supermarket to dozens of each. Why? How? The big enabler was Lotus 1-2-3. Product managers in food companies could manage the ingredients, inventory, branding, marketing and sales performance of dozens of products at a time instead of just one or two. The spreadsheet was a fancy calculator, in the same way that a machine gun is a fancy pistol, and a combine harvester is a fancy hoe.

The first decade of personal computers enabled office work to scale, and it reconfigured literacy by enabling individuals to type letters when they felt like it. The fax machine was right there alongside, like the hammer and the sickle of capitalism. The resulting boost to productivity touched every industry the world over.
Show HN: Created Cloud Based Loan Management Software
launched the first version of lendbox.io which is a loan management sotware used to manage loans and repayments. This is the launch of the MVP to which I validate the idea whether there would be an audience willing to pay for such a service.

The target market is microfinance companies and lending companies.

The idea for the website came about when I started a microfinance company and created proprietary software to keep track of loans, soon after I decided to turn this into a SaaS of its own and thus lendbox.io was born.

Currently in the process of acquiring early adopters and gathering as much feedback as possible. so far I am experimenting with facebook ads to acquire early adopters. In all honesty I have no idea where microfinance or lending company owners "hangout" or communities where they can be found in order for me to introduce the product to them and get early adopters. Creating the website was the easy part, acquiring users is a whole other ball game.

On that note, do checkout the site,any and all feedback and advice is much appreciated.
if you look at the numbers raw it might be salary for a week but assuming your developer has stuff on his/her plate and this stuff actually will make you more money in the long run (why would they be employed by you otherwise?) its more than their raw salary and the cost of hardware and rent. opportunity cost.

Thus aiding and abetting murderers like Paolo Macchiarini.

I wish Linux would do this. Patches are available: https://lwn.net/Articles/849125/

Yes, you can do this on Linux with a user namespace, but a user namespace changes the view of user accounts. You have to map every usable UID inside the namespace to a UID you control outside the namespace. At best, you can map a range of UIDs you control to "real" users (root, 1000, etc.) inside the namespace, but they won't be real users outside the namespace. If you're on a multi-user system, seeing other people's files as owned by "nobody" is confusing.

It should be enough to use NO_NEW_PRIVS mode, meaning setuid transitions are not allowed. Then it doesn't matter what user IDs you see inside the chroot.

In fact, back when Linux introduced the NO_NEW_PRIVS flag (almost a decade ago!), this was one of the motivating use cases.

Microk8s is great if you're lazy. I've recently built a small-ish 3 node cluster hosting internal apps for a few hundred users and pretty much the only setup I needed to do was: install it with Snap*, enable a few plugins (storage, traefik, coredns), run the join command on each node and set up a basic loadbalancer using haproxy** and keepalived***.

* I don't like Snap. Like, a lot. But unfortunately there aren't any other options at the moment.

** I have HAProxy load-balancing both the k8s API and the ingresses. Both on L4 so I can terminate TLS on the ingress controller and automatically provision Let's Encrypt certs using cert-manager[1].

*** Keepalived[2] juggles a single floating IP between all the nodes so you can just run HAProxy on the microk8s nodes instead of having dedicated external loadbalancers.
