I personally think uploading massive files is not usually desirable. Better would be an easy way to chunk it and upload and have the server put the file back together, which would increase reliability.

Better to focus on the things that we have evidence that they are doing (and there is plenty of abusive behavior we know about) than to speculate about unlikely attack angles and say "we can't rule it out" (proving a negative is nearly impossible). Working that way just leads to focus on the wrong threats.

> Having a screen blast your eyes 2” away is only ok for so long.

Distance isn't really a factor here, at least not as far as total light entering your eyes goes - a 1W/m^2 source 10cm from your eyes causes the same amount of light to enter as a 16W/m^2 source 40cm away.

What matters, as others have pointed out, is the distance between your eyes and the focal plane.
Agreed. But there is also a Medicare funded residency bottleneck that we also have to take care of.

We could accept doctors from other parts of the world to do residencies here but imo Che fear would then be that doctors get paid less, and the system is against that and wants to keep it broken. We could also make healthcare education free to the student, but only pay in the 150-250 range much lower than current 600-1.2MM range.

This is one thing that most democrats and republicans don’t want to fix. Biden has explicitly came out against single payer universal healthcare as that would go way against what the corporations want.

So why do people keep voting democrat?

Isn't it possible that places that are too poor to reliably remove potential lead exposure from their environment are also poor enough to attract crime in general?

This makes the assumption that poorness and crime are correlated, which I recently learned is not a universal truth.
Hit the nail on the head here. Hardware subscriptions are in a sense just an extension of software subscriptions. I can sell you a shiny new Dell 64-core Xeon workstation, but if you need to run AutoCAD, you'll need a subscription for that. The PC is useless to you without the subscription. If PCs were special-purpose, and you needed to buy a specific PC to run AutoCAD, it would only become more expensive. The fact that you can, at any time, sell that workstation monster to a gamer (who won't pay for the AutoCAD subscription) is part of it's enduring value.

Have you gone on darknet sites? They have moderation too, or else they get filled with CP and terrorist propaganda just like every other service. I guess that's "fine" if you're anonymous and don't think the FBI will find you. But if you're running a business on the clearnet there's a real name and address and there will be real life consequences. The FBI gets interested real fast if you don't moderate posts that encourage terrorist acts.

The Wireguard VPN protocol doesn’t reply to any packets that aren’t cryptographically authenticated, so that’s a good option if you want something “unscannable” on the internet.

For a regular, publicly accessible server, you do want people to be able to connect to it, so it must be scannable.

I don’t know offhand, but with HTTP/3’s udp based protocol, it ought to be possible to at least make scanning a bit trickier. By requiring a valid QUIC client hello packet, with a valid SNI header for that server, the scanner must know the name of the server it’s trying to talk to. I don’t have any experience with HTTP/3 yet so I am probably wrong.

The premise of the article is that it is unnecessary and inefficient to index the full text fields, as searching on fields is often more than enough.

Other solutions like Loki, which only index non-full-text fields, are suggested.

The suspicion is that the Russian government threatened to punish local Google (YouTube) employees if they failed to comply with the takedown request. If a company has local employees then they can't just hang them out to dry, regardless of how that conflicts with core values. So then should they compromise values to continue selling ads in Russia, or pull out of the country?

I am not really sure about this.

A few days ago, a colleague asked me why a certain Google cloud instance does not exist. I did not know either, so I searched for this name in the Google audit log, and found when and by whom it was decommissioned.

But it was a full-text search, given the instance name. I probably could do it (in theory) as a field match, if I knew which field it was, and which format it was in (I am talking about project/abc/location/xyz type of junk that precedes the actual instance name).

And yes it was slow (this instance was deleted months ago, and Google tries to search the most recent logs first).
How does that work with things that aren't procrastination, like doing the dishes or folding laundry? Because I want to stop the whole time (though I've developed hacks to help me get them done, regardless), but training myself to stop doing things I want to be doing seems like it would make it easier for my brain to stop doing things I don't want to do!
Would you please stop posting flamewar comments to HN? It destroys what this site is supposed to be for: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Also, would you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines too.

You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

It's not nearly as symmetric as you're making it out to be.

In terms of overall welfare, an additional dollar in the pocket of a typical union worker is going to be more welfare enhancing than that additional dollar in the pocket of the typical owner. This is from just basic diminishing marginal utility of the dollar.

Of course, unions can do awful, evil things - they are organizations of people and people are petty, self-centered, greedy, etc.

I'm in favor of workers' ability to elect someone to represent them at the negotiation table (because that is what a union is). I'm not unaware that sometimes those workers can elect bad people.

I'm also in favor of electoral democracy, even if I wouldn't personally defend every single person who has been elected president since the start of time.
Wouldn't it actually get easier to move the tires on a vehicle with a lot of them? You can't change the tire on a unicycle while moving, but it would theoretically already be possible on a motorcycle if you can wheelie long enough (the back wheel is more difficult) and each wheel beyond that just adds more stability and redundancy.
Outside of what the law prescribes - because that's a whole different topic with more grey area than not. If it's what the law prescribes then I'm not contending that.

> you won’t have a choice but to moderate in some way

This is the way that moderation has been done in the past 10-15 years, but does it have to be? Why couldn't a platform provide user-level controls over what they see instead of making those decisions for them? Early forum software actually did somewhat of a good job of this, and I remember building phpBB extensions that enabled more user-level control. Even with this you can go from super granular to just a couple of primary options. It becomes a tagging/filtering mechanism on behalf of the client.

Edit: UGC platforms may discover that there's some value in finding what filtering options their users use.
There's no real magic trick.

- You can post it in places where people might be interested, like HN, Reddit, ProductHunt, Twitter, forums, etc. (carefully and thoughtfully, so it doesn't come across as spam).

- You can email it to people who might be interested (very carefully and thoughtfully, with an individually tailored message, so it doesn't come across as spam).

- You can email it to tech journalists, bloggers, and other people with influence, hoping that they'll help you publicize it.

- You can email it to a pre-existing audience you've built up if you're fortunate enough to have one.

- You can buy ads.

- You can produce content or do cross-promotion (which you say you don't want to do--it can work but certainly isn't required).

If none of the above is getting any traction, most likely the product and/or pitch isn't compelling enough and you should iterate on that before investing more time or money into marketing.

I agree that the nostalgic feeling of physical items and "old" software evokes a much stronger emotional response than modern algorithmic-based "platforms." It comes down to a trade-off between convenience and commitment. Building an extensive CD or record collection took time, money and physical space. Playing a recommended list on Spotify or Amazon requires only the monthly subscription -- very little personal investment. The instant gain up front comes with the potential loss of nostalgia/memories down the road -- the "good 'ol days".

I do empathize with the author. I hope the next generation is able to enjoy nostalgic tech experiences similar to those I feel when seeing a WinAmp video, hearing AOL's infamous "you got mail" greeting, or the old dial-up internet sound. But I'm sure future generations will always have something reminisce about. It will just be bigger things like ... "remember when we had to actually drive our cars!"

Heck, even less than that. I got lenses for my Index for $20. I could have gotten them for as little as $7, but opted for the oleophobic coating to reduce fingerprints when I'm taking them in or out when other people use my headset.

Then you just need a 3D printed adapter which, if you have a printer, you can print with like 5 cents worth of filament, or likely use a 3D printing as-a-Service provider like I did and pay $4 + shipping.

Possibly yes, I was a big fan of Flash 8, but of course the older it gets, the more out of date it is, not to mention that I do not believe that Flash 8 will even work on modern Macs anymore (because of Apple dropping 32 bit support).

Right now, I have a couple-year-old permanent license to Toon Boom, which is very good, but of course it is very much not open source (and I do not believe they even let you do permanent licenses anymore). I'm not an animator, I just play with stuff occasionally, so I can't really justify ongoing costs, which is part of why I would prefer an OSS version.
Native tus support would be pretty amazing.

There have been a bunch of articles lately about the horrors that Facebook moderators have to pour through. FB has been forced to pay $MMs to some of them for mental health: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52642633
It looks like you're getting downvoted, but I think this is a good point and worth thinking about.

I believe one key difference here is group identity perception. If you like thinking in business terms, you could say "branding".

Facebook, Reddit, HN, Twitter, etc. all must care about content moderation because there is a feedback loop they have to worry about:

1. Toxic content gets posted.

2. Users who dislike that content see it and associate it with the site. They stop using it.

3. The relative fraction of users not posting toxic content goes down.

4. Go to 1.

Run several iterations of that and if you aren't careful, your "free" site is now completely overrun and forever associated with one specific subculture. Tumblr -> porn, Voat -> right-wing extremism, etc.

Step 2 is the key step here. If a user sees some content they don't like and associates it with the entire site it can tilt the userbase.

The web as a whole avoids that because "the web" is not a single group or brand in the minds of most users. When someone sees something horrible on the web, they think "this site sucks" not "the web sucks".

Reddit is an interesting example of trying to thread that needle with subreddits. As far as I can tell, Reddit as a whole isn't strongly associated with porn, but there are a lot of pornographic subreddits. During the Trump years, it did get a lot of press and negative attention around right-wing extremism because of The_Donald and other similar subreddits, but it has been able to survive that better than other apps like Gab or Voat.

There are still many many thriving, wholesome, positive communities on Reddit. So, if there is a takeaway, it might be to preemptively silo and partition your communities so that a toxic one doesn't take down others with it.
I'm struggling with this currently. I want to record some metrics with our codebase, like counting each time a certain thing happens. Our code logs requests and response times to ElasticSearch, so there's the option of just "logging" these metrics so ElasticSearch has them too. It just seems a mismatch to me. Earlier I wanted to create a dashboard that graphed some derived stats off of that request data, like server utilization which depends on doing some math with average request count and average response time - it just didn't seem like elastic search dashboards easily supported that. I was able to do it on the AWS lb level with Cloudwatch. Not having had exhaustive training with ElasticSearch maybe I'm looking for a separate metrics system like statsd and Grafana.

> What about not treating users like kiddies needing supervision?

There's two kinds of "users" here - writers and readers. As a reader, in this world with the humans we've got, I do not want to be subjected to everything someone wants to write. It makes a platform unusable to readers who want to read something that isn't a troll, spam, or propaganda.

The trick is to do that without crimping the users who are writers...

I'm interested in why these people were doing this. Were they hoping to get non-tech-savvy people that were searching for computer help? I guess that's a good audience of unwitting users to attempt to hack, but was the goal to get them to submit to one of the remote tech support scams? Were they embedding malware into your blogging platform, or getting ad revenue out of this somehow?

None of them suffer from this problem. Almost all of the charts aren't even density maps, and of the two that are, they are charting family income vs. soil lead level, which wouldn't suffer from the problem mentioned in the comic.
The internet is not moderated in any useful sense for content. Drug markets like white house market, and before that silk road have perpetuated for years. Tor and other darknet websites host content that is nearly universally disdained by governments and even most individuals, which I hesitate to even name here what that heinous content is (you and I both know some examples).

> We assume NASA's site has NASA-posted content. We assume Apple's site has Apple-posted content.

Trust in identity is not the same thing as useful moderation of content. That's useful moderation of identity.

>Sites with different standards for what they'd publish have been around for decades (for gore, for porn, etc) but many of these still exist in a traditional curated-by-someone fashion, or are more open to UGC but still have some level of moderation.

Those sites _choose_ to moderate their content, that doesn't exclude others that don't.

Because if you don't do any content-moderation your site will turn into a horrid wasteland that most of your users don't want to be on, thus defeating your purpose if your purpose is making money or any other reason to attract users.

If your purpose is being 8chan, you'll be good.

> Slashdot is a very peculiar case of near no spam filtering, yet very good user content moderation

So, you're saying they have very good user content moderation. Which means they have content moderation. Sounds like it's human (rather than automated), and they have unpaid volunteers doing it. That's a model that works for some. A model of... content moderation.
