Great documentary. I can't remember if this was made clear in the film, but everything makes infinitely more sense if you s/Communist/Chinese/. Like with the Holocaust, it wasn't only Chinese who were targeted[1], but fundamentally that was the principle social dynamic that ungirded the unfathomable dehumanization of the victims.

My mom is a senior care provider and one of her clients is an elderly Indonesian immigrant. He immigrated to the U.S. either during or shortly after the genocide. She was telling me stories about how he's always railing against the "communists" in the city, the city being San Francisco. She couldn't quite make sense of his complaints and opinions until I "translated" things for her.

Later, when I learned about that film, I sat down with her to watch it. Countless times through the film she was like, "OMG, that sounds exactly like what [her client] says".

[1] Ethnic Chinese were victimized in Indonesia long before those events, which is why Indonesia has never had as distinct an ethnic Chinese community as most other SE Asian countries--conversion to Islam and assimilation into the local culture was much more common. I suspect that many non-ethnic Chinese victims during the "Communist purge" were believed to have had Chinese ancestry, and perhaps did indeed. Again, similar to the Holocaust.
Fastmail is a bargain for me. I’d pay $40/mo for super high quality email.
The Commodore 64 (and possibly earlier Commodore systems such as the PET and VIC20) actually recorded each "block" twice on the tape, and could correct up to 31 errors per block as long as an error didn't affect the same exact byte in each block (it didn't do anything like ECC).

This also made loading/saving from tape really slow - 50bps.
I would guess this is driven by the decline of marriage overall, with those forgoing marriage being those most likely to divorce

I have yet to encounter positive solutions to those questions, as usually increasing headcount does not relieve pressure on team members - it's used to enable quicker replacement by yet-another-junior-to-burned-at-the-altar who will leave after gaining experience and burning out.

The classic "we have niche languages" solution to that is to enable on-the-job learning of those, and not just doing simple fact checking on whether someone honestly claimed to have learnt Popular Language X as claimed on their CV.

FB let's you upload lists of 'purchases' to match, we can just make a vote a purchase.

and then they black box tie them to impressions/ad events.

It only works with early voting, where you get a list of voters who have cast or sent in mail ballot each day.

though arguably you're already targeting a tight list in FB of likely early voters (who are likely to vote themselves even without seeing an ad) so who knows if the ad actually got any extra votes in.

You could do an AB test, randomly show ads to only half the audience and measure lift but there are only a couple weeks of early voting usually and relatively small audiences unless you're statewide. I imagine it would work better for Presidential i've never worked on one, kind of a bucket list dream but also would suckkkk for a few years

You can also upload a final voting list after the fact as offline conversions, but doesn't make much difference after the votes are counted though I guess cool stats
Thanks. I have ethical issues with ad blockers. As someone who has built businesses based on ads it pains me to hurt these sites, even though the ad situation is really fucked up in 2021.

I just found out about Brave this week. It looks promising. I didn't know DuckDuckGo had a browser. I've been using the search occasionally. People say they can't switch from Google, but honestly their search quality is over-rated. They are really sanitizing their results more than the others recently. Even Bing is bringing back more results from really useful obscure sites than Google is.
Part of the issue might be that there aren't a lot of conventional problems being addressed here in the same way that relational databases or spreadsheets addressed the problems of the business world of the day. A lot of the engineering going on that's impressed me has centered around DAO operations. If 10 years ago someone told me that there'd be multi-billion-dollar treasuries governing themselves without a conventional leadership structure, I wouldn't have believed them. There are obviously problems with some of these manifestations to date, but there's also an unbelievable amount of effort being put into them. I recommend you check out how Shapeshift(a formerly private company, now DAO) is structured.
I didn't say that HN is collapsing, just that the signal to noise ratio is noticeably (to me) going down over time. Slowly, but with huge inertia.

Whoops, I got the two companies confused. My original objection was with this comment[1], which was talking about the moderation policies of another company, truth social. That part seemed irrelevant to me, because the moderation policies of one site (truth social) shouldn't make the grievances of another site (gab) less valid.

AFAIK, evidence is pretty clear that delaying marriage (up to a point!) reduces the likelihood of getting divorced.

https://ifstudies.org/blog/want-to-avoid-divorce-wait-to-get...

Of course you are correct that lowered social stigma associated with divorce is also important. This topic must be difficult to study over very long periods of time, because so many things are going on (changing age of first marriage, reduced social stigma associated with divorce, women's liberation, changing religiousity, etc. etc.).

You didn't say "shouldn't be a crime" you said "is not a crime". And I'm not saying that words directly kill. I'm saying words have their own power that can absolutely hurt. Speaking words is an action and it can cause harm.
What are these old comments supposed to show? That it has been happening for a long time? I'm not disputing that.

I was reading HN in 2009, but I don't remember how it was back then. I do remember how it was a few years ago, and the difference to today is obvious, to me.

Trying to silence this opinion is not going to make it less valid, you know.

1. The barrier is using a wallet of some kind. For me this difficulty kind of goes both ways - one, we've primed everyone already to expect to "sign up" for an account as it is, but in this realm they only need a wallet(a one-time operation). You go to a web3 site and click "connect wallet", approve, and that's it. In order to actually _do_ anything in terms of mutating your wallet's state, you have to willingly accept the transaction.

2. Impersonation depends on the application in question. It is a subject with a lot of attention, and I've seen varying proposed solutions for "proof of uniqueness". This is a good jumping off point imo: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/identity-a...

3. This is where things diverge sharply from "web2". There is no "forgot password" or support infrastructure that can come to the rescue. At this current moment you are screwed. But there are some promising ideas that could address this - look into "social recovery".

A GPL Licensing Violation Could Shut Down Trump’s New Social Media Site
Jefferson is a fascinating example of how contemporary historical revisionism is invoked in an extremely selective manner. Jefferson was a Francophile and was probably the founding father most closely aligned with continental European Enlightenment thinking. For example, he’s the source of the notion that the founding fathers were “deist.” Jefferson was, and maybe Franklin, but most of the others weren’t. He’s the main source for the notion of “wall of separation of church and state,” which is much closer to French secularism than what either the Constitution says or what the other founders likely intended. (At the time, several states had “established” churches, so the notion that the establishment clause required a wall of separation is quite odd: https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/inte....) The Supreme Court ginned up the modern doctrine almost solely based on one of Jefferson’s letters. (To be fair, they properly understood what Jefferson meant.)

Today, there’s a lot of “guilt by association” attacks on various ideas Jefferson held. When critics attack Jefferson for being a slaveholder, they also attack notions like federalism or small government or gun rights as being conceived out of a desire to protect slavery. But they never attack his ideas of secularism, even though they could. Until the mid-20th century, “science” (or what passed for it at the time) was more aligned with things like slavery and eugenics. In the famous Cornerstone Speech, for example, the Vice President of the Confederacy declares the new rebel nation to be founded on the scientific truth that the races aren’t equal, and characterizes abolitionists as “zealots.” See: https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/cornersto.... (Which they were—abolition among white Americans was driven mainly by Quakers and other religious fundamentalists. Lincoln’s Republican Party was a fusion of capitalists and religious nuts.)

You'd have to get a pretty expensive digital camera to get as overall high quality photos as a nice medium format (not to mention large format) film camera, to be fair. But only a fool would use film instead of digital for this reason. I just like the hardware more and it's cheaper than an equivalent digital setup.

You seem to be objecting to both the tone and the actual meaning of the word. Since I stand by the meaning, perhaps there is a better way to express it. But if you still disagree with the meaning, perhaps you could elaborate.

A phrase I've seen on HN is "thought terminating cliché". Would that be a better way to express my opinion, by calling it that?

The sound quality is worse, but that doesn’t mean it’s not preferable. If you listen to music with a decent dynamic range and has some breathing room, then the sonic qualities of vinyl can enhance that.

The same goes for cassettes. There’s been a (small) resurgence of cassettes, mostly from heavier types of music. There’s something about the harshness and hiss to tapes that fits really well with metal and punk.

As to the collection thing - a buddy has a growing vinyl collection and a decent, mid-range stereo that he pieces together. It’s a system much like my dad put together when I was growing up. Listening to music on a real sound system that you’ve tweaked to a particular room is a far more rewarding experience than ear buds or even the best headphones.

I find headphones to be isolating and uncomfortable after a short time. And playing music from a phone speaker is dreadful.
Cars are expensive. The old, the unhealthy, the poor -- all of these people can benefit from infrastructure that allows people to get around without using a car. Because cars are expensive.

Absolutely. I’ve been a happy customer as my primary email service (for my entire family, via a custom family domain) since 2012 and while there have been outages in that time I’ve honestly never “noticed” one until I see it posted somewhere like here.

From a pure evolutionary perspective the society and culture that prioritizes having kids is going to expand and grow compared to cultures that don't. There are tons of anti-natalist groups that existed and died off because the entire group died off and there wasn't anybody to replace them
IMO their iOS app would be great if it had offline support - it doesn't...
Pretty sure that every time (or almost every time) when I run `npm install` in a repo downloaded from Github, NPM complains about several security problems in the dependencies. Kinda feels like an unending ‘cry wolf’ situation.
> Does anyone know of a good way to verify that a npm release matches what's on GH?

I'm not aware of any way to do this, and it's a huge problem. It would be great if they introduced a Docker Hub verified/automated builds[0]-type thing for open source projects. I think that would be the only way we could be certain what we're seeing on GitHub is what we're running.

Honestly it’s hard to believe we all just run unverifiable, untrustable code. At the very least NPM they could require package signing, so we'd know the package came from the developer. But really NPM needs to build the package from GitHub source. Node is not a toy anymore, and hasn't been for some time—or is it?

Yeah safari barely works on it, which is maybe half because its outdated and half because websites have gotten a lot heavier since then. The iPad had a tiny amount of RAM by today‘s standards. Something like 512 MB, or even 255? iOS was aggressive about killing apps (esp safari) when RAM runs out. Not sure if it can even swap, or could back then?

Besides the artwork, I buy vinyl because it requires me to be present in listening.

I have to rummage through my collection, pull the record out of its cover (and maybe read it). Then I have to turn it over half way through. Also when people are over I make them do the same. It sparks conversation.

I concede I could do all of those things with digital copies but I don’t. If I’m not working, I largely listen to vinyl only now.
The internet isn’t a static thing. It’s constantly evolving across multiple dimensions including tech, legal, costs, security, censorship and so on. The real challenge is creating a sustainable legal entity that is an organization that will live for over 500 years and provide solutions to to these problems the entire time to ensure service continuity. While it’s tempting to have a technical conversation, in 70 years everything you now know will be irrelevant, as will you.

Please don't tell me what is obvious to me. Instead, assume good faith and clarify.

You said "I'm not saying the Vikings weren't..."

which means to me that you are saying they may have and they may not have. Both are logically equivalent.

In turn, that means that you seem (to me) to be asserting it is the burden of this article in Nature to demonstrate they were.

My point was, that's a premise not something they are establishing.

I believe they were just narrowing down the date. Therefore if they in fact totally failed at their job, it should not affect the question you bring up. It does not seem relevant that they didn't prove it, if they didn't set out to and it is a generally accepted fact.

Does that clarify? I make plenty of mistakes, but I also read as carefully as I can.

I think it's still important to distinguish are we discussing process, or end result.

If the end result is for photo to be viewed on monitor, phone, TV, photo album, or say 11x19 poster, I don't know if there's effective difference by the end between a 45MP FX digital, or a medium/large frame film.

The process though is largely different, including the approach and the sensation and the sense of handling. I fully recognize the important of joy of process.

(It's just that, if I swung that way, I'd go all the way and use the twin reflex film camera for a truly different experience :-D. )
