In my experience (not American, so your experience might vary) it's usually tied to toxic masculinity.
Being the one who provides information, rather than the one who's corrected, has implications for some people in terms of ego and perceived social status, so they see a discussion as sort of a verbal fight for territory.

The same person would gladly accept the exact same information without an issue in any other context, provided that they had not just supported a different idea, but the moment they support one side they have to hold the fort.

In that context bringing up a Google search in the discussion feels to them like you're pulling out a gun in the middle of a fist fight. Sure it's effective, but the escalation is read as "I'm going to win this at all costs", rather as "I want to check the truth", and most importantly, you leave the other party no room whatsoever to save face, which is seen as an asshole move.
I mean, it's true, but it's kind of a semantic difference. I also served on the IETF Lemonade IMAP group on behalf of Oracle, and although there's no implicit vote structure, one or two committee members can pretty much torpedo stuff, although my experience was more positive, because even though they torpedo stuff, people tend to be more consensus/cooperative driven, and look for common ground solution.

So for example, we were seeking to make extensions to IMAP that gave standards based email something competitive with the Blackberry experience. Some of the proposals specified protocol proposals specified yet another tunneled protocol for real time notifications over 25 or 143, but I objected that deploying this widescale was more difficult due to firewalls, I counter proposed a HTTP based solution which also was shot down. But the group did consider my concerns over deployment, and shipped a BCP document to encourage network admins to be prepared for Lemonade specs: https://tools.ietf.org/search/bcp143#section-6.1

That said, this whole thread really bothers me, because people's attitude isn't "well, Apple should counter propose improvements to achieve use cases, but with better battery/security/privacy", but just "Google bad, don't work with them, essentially boycott the W3C/WHATWG and freeze the web in place. Oh, and let's keep the web like it was 1998."

The Web has changed a lot, people's requirements and use cases have changed a lot. Just take e-commerce or passwords. We all know that sending your credit cards or password credentials to Web sites is bad for security. So login and payments need to be solved and THIS REQUIRES NEW STANDARDS.

You simply can't say "HTML4 was good enough. " because HTML4 meant cookie hacks, HTML4 meant storing your credit cards and password credentials on the server. If Apple cared about these things, they'd make sure to work with Google, and Mozilla, and Microsoft to ensure standardized, secure, private payments and logins were widely deployed and implemented for example.

I really tire of this tribalist fanboyism.

If you think Google is evil or shouldn't control the web, the solution isn't to boycott the standards committees, or to cheerlead a stagnant unchanging web platform (an unchanging platform is effectively a dead platform in the face of changing hardware and user demands), it's to get involved. And therefore, the proper court of action is to demand Apple fully fund their Safari team. It's obvious they's skimping on them, as the accumulated bugs alone are not a philosophical choice, but one based on resources.
In every discussion around censorship on HN we see a very large portion agreeing that censorship is good when targeting the right kind of people for the right kind of reasons, and bad otherwise. One side thinking that companies or government are enlightened enough to figure it out, the other disagreeing that such enlightened entity doesn't exist.

It is about trust, not hardware vs wetware. I would not trust a AI to do it better than an moderator. The least harmful method of censorship are strict defined legal systems written by democratic elected people, and as the article demonstrate, it has some flaws.

Everyone can agree that some people has been inspired by fake news to commit crime, leading to death and suffering. Everyone would also agree that without fake news there would still be people doing crime that leads to death and suffering. Crime is a problem, and censorship as a tool to combat crime has its up and downs in popularity. It does not however change the issue of trust.
Good benchmarks! Looks like pnpn is still quite a bit faster in most cases though. It does look like performance has reached a plateau, but a different plateau for different tools so surely it still makes sense to decide based on performance?
For the competition that Biles competes in (all kinds of gymnastics) it is downright dangerous physically to compete without confidence because every small misstep can result in devastating injuries. That's not the case in many other sports.
The copyright term expires a certain number years after the death of the author. That number varies from country to country. Usually, it is around 50 years or 70 years after the death of the author. But in some countries it is as short as 25 years and it is 100 years in Mexico.

Therefore in most countries, ancient work like Beethoven is allowed to be in public domain explicitly by their law; either due to the fact that the work was created before copyright laws existed or due to the fact that it has been more than 100 years since the death of the author.

However, you probably want others to be able to use your work while you are alive. So the circumstances for your work are quite different from that of Beethoven's work.

I don't know if there is any country that does not recognize public domain but see https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc... for more insights on this matter. If we were to trust what is written on this page, it does seem that dedicating your work to public domain is not a simple matter. The CC0 license helps with explicitly waiving as many rights as possible while still protecting you as much as possible with an explicit disclaimer.

The guidelines ask you to respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of a comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ).

This sounds needlessly overcomplicated.
So do you think the police treats tourists worse in Philippines, or all equally bad? (except the local powerclique)

In either way, I rather have a police treating all people with respect.
The article didn't say it was his idea, but one 'carrot' that the company came up with. Tbh, it's a pretty weak one, and I think the pandemic has proven with FAANGs that people will trade autonomy and WFH over free (or cheap) food. It's a misalignment of what people actually want from their jobs, and what manager's think will 'click' with people.

It's casual work fridays with a different coat of paint.

Perhaps it would be better for me to say ostensibly there to build browsers (and other software).

In response to the manifesto I'll ask how recent that manifesto and mission statement is? Surely they weren't always a politics first, software second organisation? They must have started out as free software and then morphed into what they are now at some point.

Or was it that case that the politics was there but it was that that changed?
You're welcome :) Ans since you deliberately chose this style, I'd be interested in learning from you (maybe in a new post) how you go about the process of writing.

It's interesting because, as I understand it (based solely on the article's summary), the meta-analysis asserts that the current lead-crime value is wrong. Either it is much lower than expected because we should see more ambiguous papers and the lack of them points to bias in the study/publish methodology -or- its much stronger than expected because we cannot find many counterexamples. The original publishers just went with the first, the article asserts the second.
And there are other neurotoxic compounds still in common use, such as mercury-aluminium-amalgam for cheap dental work. That would also confound all the simple studies. I'm afraid there can't be a firm conclusion without an in-depth study of heavy metal prevalence in bloodstream and bones vs. criminal behavior. Just plotting sales figures of leaded gas vs. murder rates doesn't say anything. Any more elaborate study is of course smaller and more expensive, so won't be done as easily.
Ask HN: How have you implemented audit trails for enterprise software?
We're building software for enterprise customers and usually as a requirement they want some sort of audit trails.

Been doing a lot of reading into best practices (e.g. Enterprise Ready audit-log) [1] but love to hear everyone else's thoughts on how they've implemented audit logging in there software (e.g. strategies / gotchas, performance bottlenecks, rollbacks etc.)

I think the shortage is in positions companies don’t want to pay much. At least anecdotally, I’ve seen and heard a lot about restaurants having cook shortages. This doesn’t negate your point. I’d say it just bolsters your point.

Daily reminder that Jobs wanted one of their early computers (Lisa? Mac? Can't remember) to be bolted shut, until he was persuaded otherwise. Similar story with Apple II and expansion slots.

It's in their nature. Apple was bound to invent the iPhone.

The business decision Apple made to largely ignore Cocoa, especially any semblance of documentation, and then confuse “native developers” by giving them conflicting half-baked solutions like Catalyst and SwiftUI? I guess given the option between a closed-source half-assed framework like Catalyst that even Apple themselves can’t make reasonable apps with (see Apple News), and an open source half-assed framework like Electron where you can at least contribute a fix instead of having to wait a full year for the surprise of whether your reported issue got fixed or not, most people just preferred the latter.
> it is kind of wrong to blame the tool for the mistakes made by the one wielding it

I strongly disagree. I think it is absolutely legitimate to blame a tool which is practically impossible to use correctly [1]. Some of C's design decisions were justified in its historical context, and some – like zero-terminated strings – were indefensible even back then.

[1] Alternatively, you could blame its creators, but that's not very useful.

It hasn't been the case for some time now. JS started as something to spice up the html content, to add extra niceties. But The rise of virtual Dom JS rendering Frameworks brought upon pages that don't have any html content, that don't display anything without JS, Just a Blanc page. For some time adopters of such Frameworks would keep a limited functionality noscript page, but it didn't take long for them to drop the extra work. The highest profile website following this theme is Twitter, the dropped noscript a year ago. So JS is not optional anymore, to browse the full web you need JS, without it you get a subset that doesn't include some major social networks or some major news sites.

They tell me there is a skills and labor shortage in tech.
That's complete bullshit

> It isn't "society" that's absorbed absorbed increased worker productivity, but employers and those who own the automation.

What society has "absorbed" is an expectation that stock markets will continue rising at a pace that significantly outstrips inflation and (related) wage increases. Pension funds and individual retirement savings (401k, RRSP) heavily rely on employers pocketing the bulk of productivity increases for themselves and continuing to exploit labour. It'd be interesting to see the chaos that would arise if governments decided at some point that workers should get an equal share of that.
What Happens When Your Career Becomes Your Whole Identity
I read it as: "CERN has discovered a new particle, and that new particle is an instance of a known class of particles called tatraquarks". The wording is a little sloppy and ambiguous, but headlines are pretty tightly constrained so I'm willing to cut the writers a little slack on this. I've seen much worse.
I'm sorry to hear that but keep in mind the job market is very different from one location to another and from one sector to another.

The BBC is talking about truck drivers in the UK and it is hardly a surprise: UK used to rely heavily on eastern Europe workers in that area, and they vote (Brexit) to prevent exactly that. They got what they asked for.

If anything, we can complain that the BBC article title is too general and not precise enough, but your particular experience does not necessarily match the experience elsewhere
rough take, DC is fed by workers from Maryland and Virginia, educated in their universities and pipelined into Defense and Defense contracting.

This has been the case for a long time and those surrounding states have large Republican portions especially where many of the Universities are located in the middle of nowhere. But higher education is heavily Democratic, and doubly so in that area.

But the 2010s don't have much to do with aspirations in the intelligence community, mostly undermining those aspirations with the whistleblowing.

So even a tongue in cheek response like that is still trying to make a relation thats tough to make.
Then it should be easy for you to form a rebuttal.
The minimum net salary in Romania is about €280, which is about $360, which is about $500 net. So $6000 per year net. And no (u abused) junior dev is going to be making minimum salary, that's janitor salary.

So you think it is impossible to give up my proprietary rights in france? That sounds stupid and would be a major obstacle. I would suspect it is possible, just not common.

I am very sure it would be possible to do, with proper legal advice or going to a court, but that would kind of defeat my point of avoiding licence headache.
I could probably go to the Web sites of at least a dozen successful IT companies, and go to the "Meet the Team" page.

They are invariably a large group of smiling -young- faces. There may be one or two greyhairs in the picture, but a quick shufti of the "Leadership" page often shows them to be C-suite or Board.

Yeah, I'm a cynic.
what i do is somewhat like you suggest. if haproxy cant determine which hostname it should serve it responds with a "503 Service Unavailable". However, if i expect someone to be able to actually receive that i still need to present a certificate to the client. i use wildcard certificates for this reason. the server wont tell you what names would actually work... you could just terminate connections or signal some kind of handshake error immediately instead though... most sites and services aren't likely to do that as its not very helpful in figuring out why it went wrong or explicitly will try to make it work for clients not supporting this. that's why i noted it being practical as long as incompatible clients are expected to work...
> We know they don’t substitute because if they did, people wouldn’t buy the playdate.

No, all we know is that the people buying the playdate think they don't substitute. Whether these people end up being correct is completely speculative at this point. I'd like to hear an analysis why the same experience couldn't be had elsewhere, preferably by a seasoned game designer.
Like Blockly? Have you considered offering it as an online service? Then you don't need to publish the code and at all and there's no problem.

With public domain, the public owns it. So even though it would be kind of slimy, they would be well within their rights to claim ownership over your work, because you gave it to them. The fact that you feel this way, would make me not believe a public domain accreditation coming from you btw. In fact, maybe it isn't slimy at all. Consider classical musicians. They own their performances of Mozart. If someone takes what you've built and pull through on the execution to turn it into a profitable product, then they're basically doing the same thing. They earned the income.

So the biggest concern with using someone's work, on the path to success, is making sure that it's being used in accordance with their intentions. Since otherwise the moment you start pulling in money those people will turn around and sue or generate bad press or gossip. Licenses protect your users rights. That's why you need one. Since otherwise no one's going to use your work.
Small nitpick - cable broadcasting isn't "licensed" by the FCC in terms of content. Now whether lawmakers would have passed explicit legislation regarding such content, is another story (the 90s was full of threatening to do just that, with video games getting some heat too thanks to Mortal Kombat and Night Trap).

I think that goes back even further: The industry has invested a lot to push the concept of arbitrary automatic updates. Today it's not just normal that the code and functionality of your installed apps is constantly changing, it's almost expected. An app that doesn't get updates is considered dead.

Nevermind that this results in a system that is completely impossible to reason about, that this allows companies and corporations to play out business politics right on your hardware and that now suddenly apps can be taken over by malicious parties.

Suddenly, we need a privileged "app store" 3rd party that can constantly monitor apps and ban them, should they suddenly turn into malware.

That is suicidal.
Crap, I meant Session looks promising, not Signal.
When I was a kid I saw a poster about littering, which made a big impact on me. The poster just had a background of rubbish covered with speech bubbles all saying "my one bit of litter won't make any difference".

So while I agree that many people will not change unless they see everyone else doing it, I still think it is worth trying to make a difference on a personal level, even if only to satisfy my own conscience.

> I don't get this. If, say, the actual effect of lead on crime is 0.33 on their scale (a "large" effect size) then you'd expect to find papers clustered around that value

You'd expect them to be clustered around that value symmetrically, right? That's clearly not the case in the diagram that the blog post author quoted. There's a cluster around very weak positive effects, and then a long tail of strong positive effects but no matching long tail of weak negative ones. This suggests either that the negative results were truncated out, negative results have been hacked to positive ones, or there is some confounding factor at play. And I think the modeling in the paper is just an attempt at finding the confounding factor, and not finding one.

That said, the author's arguments around negative results being publishable in this field + studies not disappearing seem pretty strong.

(Or, at least this is my reading of the situation as a total amateur.)
> If we admit it's a job that a computer cannot reasonably do, then why do we have a computer doing it in the first place?

That's not what you said. You said if it's a job that can be reasonably done by a human, then a computer should be similarly effective. That's clearly false.

> if it has limitations that are significant (and frequent!) enough to cause a large controversy.

Controversies are not necessarily a sign that a problem is significant. Consider all the "war on Christmas" nonsense.
If you use the High consequence classification for delta, what do you use when we're truly fucked?

Delta isn't vaccine resistant and isn't significantly more deadly. Sure it spreads a lot more but most countries are dealing with it just fine.
