There's a world where I imagine apple tries to compete here, and says "yes, you pay a bit more through apple, but we don't give away your email address" etc, etc. Consumers could vote with their wallet what they care about.

In practice, my bet is that Apple uses their opaque app approval process and ability to change the rules at any time to make it arbitrarily hard for apps that use paddle to stay in the app store.

I think the author is underappreciating end game. Understanding how drive winning pawn promotions informs much of the other strategy. This sort of thing informs when to make a trade or a sacrifice.

Ask HN: Non-tech professionals on HN?
If you look at the front page of HN on any given day you'll see 90% of the news leans heavily towards the tech industry.
But you'll often see great comments from people whose profession isn't directly tech. I've seen historians, doctors, lawyers,
folks in construction, agriculture, the armed forces, etc, show up here.

So the question is, what non-traditionally tech professions are represented here on HN and how did you get hooked to Hacker News?
In what way are salary costs higher? This is on the order of 10 of their people’s annual salaries. This is for a single training run (meaning overall compute costs are higher), and it isn’t the only thing those ten or so people would have done that year (also meaning overall compute costs are higher).

You can't advertise a product that is misleading or dangerous, and yet there are no such limitations (or even warnings!) on the media? Maybe media reporting should have warnings on it like medicine advertising.

> there’s nothing logarithmic about elo. A 1500 playing a 500 has the same odds as winning as a 2500 playing a 1500, mathematically.

Odds ratios being constant with difference is what you’d expect with a logarithmic scale, with a linear scale you’d expect odds ratios to be constant with the ratio of the ratings.

So, you’ve just explained the way in which elo is logarithmic as your evidence that it is not.

Anecdotal here, but I have unlimited PTO and I've taken off 5 weeks so far this year. I'll probably take off another 2-3 weeks throughout the holiday season. I might be compensating a little bit for last year since I only took 2 weeks off until Christmas where I took another two to make up for lost PTO - but last year the pandemic was in full swing...

I do make an effort to take off some time every month. I also work really hard and produce a lot of solid work, including mentoring/training others and picking up work from people who have left the team/company. I'm not in a senior role.

Work hard, play hard.
This is true. It does align risks much better in the sense that US unions have always been far more antagonist, hyberbolic, and aggressive than their foreign counterparts, which lead to severe impairment/destruction once the protected industries they existed in were exposed to foreign competition. The most powerful unions now, of course, are the public sector unions, which have a similarly deleterious effect but are immune to competition, direct and indirect.
That is bad. They should give you the trial for the remainder of the period. I use this pattern all the time. Cancelling earlier removes the burden of having to remember to cancel later. Thanks for sharing I had no idea they did this.
I personally think that Firefox Pro could offer a shiny icon that says "Pro" in it, and the satisfaction of knowing that I supported a project I care about.

Totally agree. A lot of time, money and effort can be spent to make everything redundant and it's one single point of failure you overlooked that will break the camel's back.

The point I think that we have to keep in mind here is that it seems that Facebook overlooked many many points of failure and was very sure of their own ability at doing everything and doing it perfectly all the time.

Anecdote from my previous life: Large corporation you would all recognize and which I won't name for obvious reasons. They ran their own data center(s) and it wasn't a side hustle to do that. One morning I come to the office and I have lots of messages about a massive outage. One of the data centers is offline. Like completely offline. I'm a bit fuzzy on some details because it's been a while but the main story went something like:

External power goes out for whatever reason (don't remember)
Batteries take over
Diesel generators start up
Batteries keep draining
Diesels are spinning
All Servers shut down

What happened to this massively redundant and well planned out data center? Nobody knew and again, fuzzy on the details but the report that came out a few days later was that somewhere in that system, was a non-redudant breaker/power line combo somewhere. And that breaker went flying for some reason.
> Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s all-powerful founder, made a reasoned statement after this week’s wave of anger. He was ignored or ridiculed and increasingly looks like a liability.

The article ends with this statement, and I think it's really the lede. At this point, Zuck is basically the whipping boy of multiple different power factions in the US on both the left and right. If Facebook were actually run by its board, it would probably be an easy decision to move him into a President or Chairman role and get a Dara-type person into the CEO seat. But he holds all the cards, so who knows what will happen.

It does seem like Facebook's long-term driver of value is as a marketplace platform in developing countries. Shipping Libra and announcing a strategy pivot to empowering small business owners in LDCs would be a bold move, but it seems like Zuck has never wanted to antagonize the US Gov the way that, e.g., Travis has.

It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
Butler was a legend at Xerox, for many things besides speaking fast, but he did inspire "the milli-lampson" a unit of speaking speed. Only Butler could talk at 1000 milli-lampsons.

I only spoke to him once, and actually I don't think it was all that fast -- maybe 200 milli-lampsons. He probably slowed it down for my benefit.
Oh yeah, also gives us your full name, email, phone number, and zip code.

Yeah if I'm the type of person who is tired of Facebooks misuse of private information, I'm not going to demonstrate that by giving away private information.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't want to hear a single peep out of a company that manufactures a product I bought. I don't want to be "connected". I don't want to know when their next great thing is available. I don't care what the manufacturer thinks is a really useful, totally non-spam message for me. I don't want that relationship at all.

Maybe others are less dogmatic about it, but I truly appreciate having Apple as a "connection shield" between me and hundreds of thirsty app developers wanting to reach out and tell me all the great things they want to tell me.
Having a VM / JIT in the middle is a way to get there, but ultimately, different. At least in Java's case, my code targets an abstraction instead of hardware, so I don't get the full benefit of compilation. Performance is part of the story... access to the OS and hardware is another.

Sovereignty isn't necessarily all or nothing. The USA has always had a dual structure with states retaining sovereignty but voluntarily surrendering some powers to the federal government when they ratified the Constitution. The trouble with the EU is that the foundational treaty was a little too ambiguous and they lack an effective enforcement mechanism.

While it is true there is energy in lightning, it has a very very high peak voltage, and a low current. The cost of the rectification and step down equipment will be high - or it will be destroyed. In addition, thunder storms are erratic and short duration events. While you can create strokes with high power laser ion paths in the air, if the strike thinks your laser is the optimal path to ground - buy another laser.

Here's a good test - if you find yourself in general almost always agreeing with / aligning with all of the stories that your favorite news source runs - that's how you know it's not a real news source. Real, impartial, objective, news, would report on everything, and give voice to other opinions than your own. They'd report things you agree with, and things you disagree with. They'd report things that further your agenda in the eyes of the public, and things that don't. They'd give others a chance to share their viewpoints as well as your own. When all you read on CNN are stories you personally resonate with, that's how you should know that you're not actually receiving the news, you're receiving an ideology.

I can guarantee you that you don't just happen to hold the "right" viewpoints across all areas, removing the need to ever be exposed to other ideas. (And no, having CNN set up caricatures of other's ideas to make a mockery of them is not being exposed to other viewpoints). The idea that you're so right and everyone else is so dumb/wrong/evil/etc. that they're not allowed a voice, is really not a good position to hold.
No thanks. I’ve used Firefox since the beginning and never took to Chrome etc. Use Brave on iOS so guess I’ll be seeing how that and other alternatives are on Mac. I’d be willing to pay some bucks a month. I’m not willing to have the area of the browser that should be signal littered with noise.
If it helps, there's still a functioning oil refinery run in the Mad Max universe. It's basically declared by fiat that exactly those parts of civilization remain that are necessary to run war vechicles and make bullets. I think it was about answering the question, "what would happen if we only had the parts of modernity we didn't like."
That's my thought as well. These corporations get a ton of free publicity for being "the cool companies that are going to make remote permanent." Then all they have to do to more or less save face is wait for something bad to happen, show some vague graphs about how this could have been prevented if we weren't remote, and that they are forced to implement a RTO order.
I agree. The downvotes rain are coming, but this categorisation of working class vs wealthy, (Infact I am a working class according to them) from so called progressives (really nihilists) is cause normal everyday people problems for their agenda. We don't need your help. We can stand our grounds.

Hmm. I am a) old and b) came from another country and c) now have kids in the US school/college system. This doesn't ring true for me.

I've never heard of _programmable_ calculators being required or used in US education. _Graphing_ calculators, yes. Perhaps all graphing calculators are also programmable these days? Anyway, never once came across a case where programming was used.

In my high school in the 1970s we needed and used calculators. The previous generation of students used slide rules.

In my university career in the 1980s we used graphing calculators. I'm not sure if they were required, but we had them and used them. No programming, although storing various formulae required to be memorized for exams as programs in the calculator was handy (statute of limitations has expired...).

There is a kind of racket. Perhaps it's "regulatory capture" in action. Schools will often mandate a specific calculator model. So will exam boards. So if the student sits an SAT or AP exam, they are restricted to a specific calculator model. I assume the reason for this is to save teachers from having to understand every different calculator model, and also to prevent cheating in exams. E.g. although today nobody needs a physical calculator because smart phones have great calculator apps, the exam people don't want students bringing smart phones into the exam room.

Calculator vendors (TI primarily) have taken advantage of this regulatory situation by increasing the price of the "approved" calculators.

However, for my kids, their teachers said that they could use any calculator that had the necessary functions, regardless of the supposed rule that only one model is allowed.
I respectfully disagree. I found it nice, engaging, and easy to follow.
why the DB? Why not the client itself? How much data was wasted back and forth between the client and the backend? how many CPU cicles were spent in that poorly optimized SQL statement?
We started a project using typing annotations for everything, and it's really a pleasure to use. It's like the type safety of C++ without the insane language complexity; the "advanced" parts of the language usually make intuitive sense.

For our use case of deep learning, REST APIs, and image processing (often a mix of these), Python seems like the best choice we have. The GIL isn't a problem at all because all our computations are done with NumPy or PyTorch, which release the GIL during most of their operations.
I want to see court-mandated open source and federation. Doubt it'd ever happen though...

I feel pretty similarly. Our product used to be a Python/Django monolith and over the years we've ended up pulling so much of the functionality out into services written in golang. It was fantastic for getting the product up and running relatively quickly, and we're still very happy to let Django take care of the frontend and database migrations. But when your codebase has gotten big, refactoring in Python feels like Russian roulette, and when you're doing a lot of background processing, celery feels like the wrong tool for the job.
Deterrent from what, starting a business?

Your theory is that for 250 years America's entrepreneur class has been primarily driven by raiding their own tax-advantaged retirement accounts?

Also if your neighbor story is for real what happened there is he took a loan against his retirement account or did some kind of ROBS transaction. It's already illegal for him to interact with plan assets as part of a self-directed IRA, so he didn't use one to invest in his own business and buy vehicles. Hence this story has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
You can get this effect just by loading some document into the sidebar e.g. Show all bookmarks -> check Load this bookmark in the sidebar -> click that bookmark - I'm not sure how to do this easy in newer Firefox versions - with Browser Console maybe ?

If you want full Side by side browsing mode:

Some part of it is extremely easy - to display ALL tabs side by side:

profile/chrome/userChrome.css :

tabpanels {
display: -moz-box !important;
}

tabpanels > notificationbox {
-moz-box-flex: 1;
border-width: 2px !important;
border:solid #888;
}

For the other part - to have only two panels, sibling is easy, otherwise you would need some JS to mark a tab as something like content-secondary and handle it (e.g. there was an extension last_selected_tab doing like this AFAIR) - as you have only:

tabpanels > notificationbox > browser[type=content-primary]

(Just tested in Firefox 60.4.0.esr - newer versions may need some minor adjustements in CSS, toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets preference set to true and probably some other fixes. In 2008 I had a Norton Commander 'clone' made in such incredibly simple way, ALL file and media formats preview (plugins), with a bit of custom code for nsIProtocolHandler, and nsIURIFixup fixes :) , kudos to archView extension by Pike/Solar Flare.)

R.I.P. Firefox.

x86 is also consistent, just in a different way. There are basic moves and arithmetics, basic branching, and basic stack-related stuff. Next, there are extensions: string-manipulating extension (STOS/LODS/etc.), multiplication/division extension (MUL/DIV with their idiosyncrastic use of DX:AX), floating-point extension, control-registers extensions (tons of those), vectorized extensions, etc. Inside any set of instructions, things are pretty consistent. It's just that the Intel's Software Developer's Manual is not structured this way, it lumps all of those instructions together.

But RISC-V specification is explicitly structured around describing several basic cores and the extensions to those so it looks like it's all very unified and consistent: and indeed, it mostly is since it was developed mostly in one continuous effort with consistency in mind. Bute there are still some inconsistencies between how things are done in different extensions as well, for example, the "C" extension uses zero-extended immediates in half of its instructions unlike the rest of ISA and the other half of this very extension because of pragmatics: nobody would like to have negative offsets in those shortened instructions, so those are unsigned.

Agreed, and I'd even contend that public media dependence on commercial advertisement is a problem. I'd much prefer to see public funding for public media restored.

What are you proposing by "cracking down"? I disagree with your sentiment but do think that it is absurd the federal government subsidizes mortgages on second homes. But I haven't heard a single proposal from the left to eliminate that welfare program for the wealthy.

I'm a university professor who used to work at AT&T. I hold all sorts of positions, but that doesn't mean you should attribute them to "a major US telecommunications firm."
Problems included things like:

* input validation at ingestion time vs processing time

* access control via a proper IAM system with defined roles as opposed to granting access to individual users

* various multi-tenancy, multi-region, and multi-regulatory-regime concerns

* relying on standard frameworks/platforms which provide rollouts, monitoring, test harnesses, etc. as opposed to rolling your own

Some of the things were simply "we know this is important, but we have to hit this deadline so we're going to cut corners", resulting in rework later to do things properly in production

I have a bidet at home and wish they were more common in the US.

But how is it gross to rinse a dirty part of your body with potable water? I think it's grosser to use the bathroom for solid waste and expect rubbing it off with tissue paper is going to result in an equally clean outcome compared to rinsing with water.
