Very cool - one bug, it seems to want to show line variations in the chat, but it only shows the last move, which is then linked to the actual move in the game.

e.g. on move 22

I don't know why black played this. As black, I would've played 27...Kf8 to protect f6 and e5.

the 27..Kf8 is a link ... but the game hasn't proceeded to move 27 yet, so the link goes nowhere.

Clearly it's trying to show some line that ends with 27....kf8 ?

Anyway, the commentary itself is pretty excellent, great job!
> Again, to me, the most simple explanation is that she was coached or prepared beforehand and knew what to expect. I wouldn't put it past some political operatives to slip her some questions from a few senators before the hearings began.

This is entirely standard practice in Congressional hearings.

Concrete example: the Kavanaugh hearings.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/kavanaugh-preps-se...

> According to Grassley spokesman George Hartmann, the committee has also reached out to Cristina Miranda who posted on Facebook that she had heard about the incident while in school with Ford, but has has since said she actually has no knowledge of the incident. Miranda declined to talk to the committee, according to the aide.

> The panel has also interacted with an attorney for an unnamed person that's included in Ford's original letter, but whose name was redacted, but the committee hasn't received a formal response yet.

> Kavanaugh, meanwhile, was back at the White House complex on Thursday, amid a week of visits that have included preparation for the possibility of additional Senate testimony, according to a person involved in the confirmation process.

> Separately, a Republican Senate aide who has been briefed on Kavanaugh’s preparations said the practice sessions “have been going well,” adding that he’s been spending his days as if a hearing will go forward on Monday.

> Mike Davis, chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee, drew scrutiny Wednesday for posting and then deleting tweets saying he had personally questioned Kavanaugh and referring derisively to Ford's legal team — and indicating that, despite his current role in the investigation, he backed the nominee's confirmation.

Some of them even have forms for whistleblowers to reach out.

I think climate change is the bigger risk here in context.
Cases are decided by juries (folks like you and I). In any case, its always worth it to read the other side of the story.
So my suggested points of investigation would be:

How many whilst blowers have tried to take down facebook?

How many of those have been articulate etc i.e. have the skills this woman has?

What are the examples of inarticulate, poorly spoken whilstblowers who have taken down organisations in the information age?

Not sure who the burden of proof is on here tbh. Proof takes work.
> Even in a bad intersection with horrible flaws, 99.9% or more of all humans navigating it will be successful.

I think you will almost universally see that everything in a human slows down a lot when dealing with unfamiliar and/or difficult situations. In driving, this easily causes damage.

When difficult enough we start relying on social behavior ("you go first and tell me how it went") to find something vaguely resembling acceptable performance, then go away and never touch it again.
Let's say that if there are two or more cookies in the jar every morning I add another one to it - under that scenario (especially if we go so far as to say cookies reproduce at some fixed proportion) then yea - it's totally illegal to eat all the cookies. The most common example of this tragedy of the commons is fishing but it happens all over the place.

Specifically on the topic of cookies - it honestly is "forbidden" in a lot of households to eat all the cookies in the jar. At work you'll probably face some consequences if there's a communal cookie jar (or, the more common scenario, drinking all the half-n-half and not getting more). We don't really have "public" cookie jars so this scenario is pretty contrived, but if there was one (i.e. if NYC installed a big cookie jar in Time Square for Halloween) then it probably would actually be illegal (or at least, against a city ordinance) to eat more than X cookies. But, like I said, it's pretty contrived feeling.
How about "Face, Not Book"? That is, interact with me face-to-face, not on Facebook.
What about when a big competitor that's free but has ads springs up and everyone jumps ship to that? Will we then "save" that company in turn by magicking your proposed policy into place for them, and then so on when another company displaces them? It's like trying to ban free trade...a black market will always spring up...you can't stop humans from engaging in what they perceive to be mutually beneficial trade (in this case a great product for free in exchange for their attention/info) except with very draconian policies.
Having driven in quite a few different jurisdictions over the years, my impression became: The safest driving speed is the one that blends with local driving culture. In some places, that’s well above the posted limits, and in others it’s quite a bit below.

I suspect that degrees of being generally law abiding also vary across cultures.
because they're not even attempting to refute anything she says, which the Verge article points out. If you're going to try to smear someone by attacking their lack of experience it would probably make sense to point out how that lack of experience manifests itself in errors in her judgement.

Of course they cannot do that because she is literally citing their own words. Which is why this is just a thinly veiled, pathetic attack on a worker.
>14 suspects in the attack are facing federal charges related to bringing dangerous weapons inside the Capito

There hasn't been a single conviction related to insurrection or anything more sinister than rioting or trespassing to date. Don't get your hopes up. Further, note the misleading language used in reporting, "armed", "dangerous weapons", but not guns (save the two facing ambiguous "firearms related charges") which as far as I know had nothing to do with actually bringing firearms onto the premises. The popular idea that the rioters were armed with guns is effectively (and deliberately) misinformation, though you won't find an article outright lying about guns inside the capitol.

As for the alleged pipe bombs, one was found at both Democratic and Republican offices, and there is still no publicly released information as to who planted them.

You'd think with a place as heavily surveilled as the capitol there would be no issue producing images of trespassers with guns on premises, yet you'd be hard pressed to find a single one[1]. Even moreso if you watch the livestreams of the event, where there are no guns brandished. There was one arrest made of a participant who allegedly had a number of guns in his truck.

>Why didn't you tell DC's US Attorney’s Office that they were actually unarmed

If your "insurrection" consists of a population known for owning guns, yet arrives 99% unarmed, then it becomes much more difficult to convince people that they were staging an "insurrection" or "coup". If nothing else, surely we can at least agree that, given the lack of firearms and damage, this was a "fiery, but mostly peaceful protest", right?

This whole story is merely an egregious example of the politicization of our media and justice system.

1. There is to my knowledge a single security video showing a single person wandering into the capitol through a backdoor carrying an AR style rifle for about 15 seconds before walking out.
The protection levels and chosen restrictions for the default protection level 2 seem considerate [1]. Welcome back to the Web of 2003.

Honestly, for the same reason that we place regulations on businesses instead of just "educating people about their harms". While I'm interested in cryptocurrencies, I'm not an anarcho-capitalist myself, but I do understand the perspective of having an alternative to a (perceived) corpo-state where economic _and_ political actors are all in thrall to large corporations that form an effective oligopoly. Moreover cryptocurrencies aren't forcing you to do anything as much as a new fashion trend doesn't force you to wear the new fashion. There's been a rich history of debate within democratic states about how much power the government should have on its people, this certainly isn't some cut-and-dry affair.

Democratic governments understand that the solution to _everything_ isn't committees of citizens and votes on everything. Democratic governments rely on experts, private businesses, and regulation to bring welfare to their people. Real democratic governments have to balance many factors for the welfare of their people. I feel your view of democracy is a little too naive and unrealistic.

Agreed, and key to both job negotiations and many other situations is to find out what motivates the other party to do as they do, even if it seems to be aligned with your own interests, if the motivation is a different one then that may spell trouble down the road.
I found it an apt comparison, highlighting how something we might accept in physical space (Walmart) yet be critical of equivalent action in the online space. It’s a thoughtful and coherent argument, even if one disagrees with it, not whataboutism
How are you defining "amplification"? Phones already operate by complex signal amplification over long distances. Why do you think burner phones are still prevalent for all manner of illicit activity?

I don't think the phone company should be shut down because others can use it in a way that's considered devious. I don't think the phone company should play "morality police" either. I simply expect the phone company to simply provide the service I paid for.

This type of thinking strikes as the kind that would damn Gutenberg for inventing the movable-type printing press because print has been used to disseminate propaganda and debauchery to billions of people several centuries later.

While you're right that motivation isn't purely an inherent trait of the individual, it is certainly a factor. The old nature vs nurture (or circumstance) debate. The answer is usually a mix of both.
From my point of view, there's a difference between displaying censored results from a 3rd party and implementing censorship. In this case, Microsoft / Bing censored their results and everyone relying on their results passed the censored results along.

No doubt this is bad, but we know who did the censoring (Microsoft). DDG? I guess we can blame them for using a bad source and for not double checking stuff like this (if that's even possible/viable)?

Anyway, what to use instead? The main alt search engines usually use Bing (DDG, Qwant, Ecosia, Yahoo Search, etc). The only one I'm aware that uses a different source is Startpage (they use Google), but now they're owned by an ad tech company (why not stick with Google in that case?). There's also Brave Search (they have their own index, but also include results from Google and Bing if you want), but it's still in beta and I'm not sure if it's ready yet for prime time.

So... no Bing or Bing-powered search engines. What's left? Yandex? Maybe some Searx instance (which never worked that well for my needs)? Going back to Google?
> An individual's smoking and alcohol use can and does harm others, and the state levies excise taxes for that reason.

Smoking and alcohol use can also not harm others. Should those who smoke and drink responsibly be held responsible for those who don't? How does the tax ameliorate those harms?
The goal is to divert discussion from the issue and make the discussion about her personality. The "disgusting" part is not what Facebook says about her (their folks clearly don't have much to smear Haugen with if this is the worst), it's that they don't want to address the allegations directly. The "smear" such as it is, falls flat, but it's reprehensible for Facebook's people to want to make the discussion about her rather than about the practices of the company that employed her.
Wait - does that mean it’s the assholes who make the laws or are they the ones we create laws for? Or does it work both ways?!

It's important for data to be limited to those with business need to know, which is why developers (who are responsible for the application) should have access to its data while ops (who are responsible for core infrastructure) must not.

Remarkably cool. My only bit of feedback is that it's unfortunate so much of the commentary uses masculine pronouns (I found it distracting). Is that just a consequence of the training data?
I'm confused by this HN submission title, which is currently "What can be the next big thing after the internet?" The linked article has little to do with that title, other than being about the potential for artificial intelligence to develop new technology.
The challenges are compounded when two people come from very different experiences. The same words mean different things to them and then instead of fostering the transfer of knowledge, "the words get in the way."

I suspect this is a root cause of a lot of social and political friction. Doing or showing is sometimes the only hope of getting past that.

It's more of a symptom, how bloated the modern web is.

5+ browser windows on 32mb of ram was never an issue back in the win95 time (so, whole os + browser and 5 pages). Now, we've got 8 gb of ram as pretty much minimum on mid range laptops, soon even on phones (flagships have it now), and browsers have become a biggest memory user (outside of newish games) on an average pc.
Would it make sense to log a traceback, on unexpected errors?

The next big thing after the internet was Mobile, then it was Crypto, then it was the AI/ML revolution. What's next after that is still up for grabs.

> This 'whistleblower' is asking the government to violate their own law (the first amendment) by banning individual speech on these platforms.

I suggest you read elsewhere in this discussion, where many people have claimed it is a Bubble Sort, and most have then changed their minds.

Consider, a Bubble Sort (as documented in TAoCP, for one) only ever compares elements in adjacent locations, whereas this routine compares every location to every other location.
Mark Zuckerberg has been pushing for regulation for years. He wants this for two reasons:

1. Abdicating responsibility so that when the public or politicians complain about Facebook hosting or not hosting some content he can say it's not his problem, he follows the law.

2. The second is for regulatory capture. Once a social network gets a stigma of being uncool, people move on to the next thing. His status and net worth are tied up in an entity he must aggressively defend against becoming the next MySpace. If he can't buy out upstarts anymore because of antitrust then the next best protection is to make it so difficult to build a new network without a team of lawyers and moderators that no one would even think about doing it.
Same as Discord, Teams, or Slack. If you do not want to chat sensible messages just use Matrix.
What you're describing sounds vaguely like some naturally occurring psychedelics, but again, those typically aren't addictive because the body often tries to reject them, even when you achieve an altered state of mind. They're not pleasurable to take.

I highly recommend reading the Molecule of More, which does an incredible job of explaining the brain chemistry behind addiction in an accessible way.
It's typical for Vox reporting (parent company of the Verge) -- but also typical for pretty much any vaguely left leaning publication (see also nytimes).

It's possible that the same tool can be used either for, or against, democracy, depending on the environment. That's actually what most tools are like. Using cryptocurrency in an authoritarian state can help democratize the state, while using it in an already democratic state has a potential to do more harm than good. It's similar to violence: using it to kill off the ancien regime can (potentially) pave road towards democracy, while using it to put a non-elected person in charge in an already democratic state will shift the state away from democracy.

It's a postgres install with a proprietary extension. Management burden is about as low as it gets for a small app -- make sure its got HD space for storage and logs, lock it down sensibly, set up a cron job to export daily backup dumps to S3, and you're good.

>If you're going to try to smear someone by attacking their lack of experience

Re-read the parent comment. How is the whistleblower getting smeared based on the assertions above? Are they not factual AND relevant?

edit:

I see comments below talking past this sub-thread. Let's get down to definitions.

> Smear: damage the reputation of (someone) by false accusations; slander.

At best, the article's premise that FB's claims "smear" the whistleblower is flawed and non-constructive even if you're seeking to slit FB's throat.
> Not the original googler responding, but I have never experienced what they describe.

I have also never experienced this outside of this single instance. It was bizarre, but tried to reinforce the point that something needed to change -- it was the latest in a string of major customer-facing outages across various parts of TI, potentially pointing to cultural issues with how we build things.

(And that's not wrong, there are plenty of internal memes about the focus on building new systems and rewarding complexity, while not emphasizing maintainability.)

Usually mandatory trainings are things like "how to avoid being sued" or "how to avoid leaking confidential information". Not "you need to follow these rules or else all of Cloud burns down; look, we're already hemorrhaging customer goodwill."

As I said, there was significant scar tissue associated with this event, probably caused in large part by the initial reaction by leadership.
> Now add in the fact that it's a UAE company

I don't know why you keep saying that. They have servers and offices distributed in different countries, but IIRC most of the team including the founder and CEO are Russian. They say the distribution is so that no single jurisdiction can force them to do too much.
The article does not claim it is new. The introduction says:

> It is difficult to imagine that this algorithm was not discovered before, but we are unable to find any references to it.

the author would almost certainly agree with your other points, and has some other interesting things to say in the article.
