I think the key is that it's mainstream at the system/platform layer, not so much the application layer (though maybe one day!). Its benefits to the former are clear and undeniable; a paradigm-shift. Its benefits to the latter are pretty mixed by comparison. Anyone who mostly hangs out at the application-layer and doesn't follow this stuff closely could miss the adoption it's getting elsewhere.
I assume the conclusions change considerably when you plug in non-American numbers?

My degrees were about 1/8th the price of many U.S. peers’, which made them more palatable given that my original career was looking at a lifetime ceiling of maybe $90k CAD.
I remember at the time many of laptops that had a IEEEE1394 port had the small size one, not the full-size one that the iPod cable used. Also most desktops didn't have it onboard due to royalty fees so you needed to buy a PCI card. Not an insurmountable obstacle, but enough that you had to really want one to look past that.
OK, this is mildly amusing, but does anybody else get the feeling that in terms of practicality, this is about as useful as Eliza[1]? Or the average IRC bot?

There is something to this. FB has underperformed the S&P500 recently.

Over the 1 year mark, the S&P is up 31%, vs less than 13% for FB. It has underperformed over 6 months as well: less than 7% for FB compared to 9% for the market.

It's only until you look back two years and more that FB has outperformed.

Most of this is because of a roughly 15% decline in FB stock since mid-September.
You mean as a new type of mass marketed device rather than someone's hobby business that could fail and they wouldn't be economically impacted?

Based on the fact that this is not new in the slightest, and the last 20 years is full of people mocking DOS because it's from an era long gone by but then discovering very specific niche industries or suddenly-well-known individuals still using DOS applications... No. No we are not. There is no market here, there are only individuals who made a choice and stuck with it.
Iran seems like it has been made a demonstration test range for cyber warfare capabilities. Anything that happens there, we can probably expect anywhere else.

I've been at the edges of these issues for a while, and we've become so dependent on our tech that we're effectively cyborgs. If you freeze or starve without electricity, fuel, or a globalized supply chain it's not synergistic, you are as dependent on it as ancient populations were on a well, fields, or fisheries. If someone sabotaged the wells, fields, or fisheries of a population, it would be worthy of a physical response. The era of brushing off cyber attacks is likely over, and I would treat them as the initialization for rapid kinetic escalation.

Attacks on civilian infrastructure in Iran don't have the same effect as they might in the west because Iran's government is a resource cursed economy, so the happiness and consent of the population doesn't make a difference to who is in power so long as they can export oil. Using cyber against civilian infrastructure in a non-democratic state is a waste of ammo, or worse, a tracer round that gives away your position. If the attack isn't a strategic miscalculation, it's a very direct threat without follow through, and that kind of bluster is a signal of weakness. It just seems unwise.

Looking at the incentives, the logical strategic response for cyber attacks is deterrence, which unfortunately means an overwhelming shock and awe level of force.
25%+ of US residents receive taxpayer funded healthcare, via Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare (military), or other government programs. I think electronic medical records will only accelerate it to non taxpayer funded populations as it will greatly ease the ability to track data even when switching from one managed care organization to another.
My understanding, from speaking with someone at Facebook who has worked in this area, is that they are primarily empowered to do individual fixes. I.e. they do root cause analysis on why content X was correctly/incorrectly handled, update processes, and repeat.

The problem instead seems to be a systemic one. i.e. What kinds of posts does the platform incentivise and promote as a whole? However, changing the system would require significant product updates and harm the bottom line, as it would likely result in lower engagement.

We're also in this weird position where politicians seem to want to hold platforms accountable for content which is legal, but objectionable. This is also exacerbated by employee activists wanting to do the same.

> drug or alcohol master.

Nitpicking, but since political correctness seems to be all the rage nowadays, please consider removing "or alcohol" from that sentence (at least mentally) since alcohol is a drug, just like heroin or coffee or nicotine or LSD, only with varying degrees of effects, damage and dependency.

Disclaimer: Have tried most common drugs at least once in my life and find alcohol to be one of the most dangerous ones, since dependency tends to creep up so slowly (years) and is practically impossible to get rid of once acquired, barring abstaining completely.

Edit: Saw that you replied but then deleted, referring to common parlance of the English language. Yes, that's exactly why I posted this. It's established (boomer) language to say "drugs and alcohol" and it needs to change. Hence I referred to changing the sentence mentally. This change will take time though and/but it'll happen, one person at a time.

I suppose people seem to look at "drugs" as illegal drugs and everything legal as non-drugs. So now with weed widely decriminalized it'd go from "drugs or alcohol" to "drugs or alcohol or weed". Maybe? /tangent

Edit2: I also suppose people don't want to look at themselves as drug users. This is probably due to anti-drug propaganda, associating any drug user with a "junky". It's also a mental image that needs to change. Most people in the western world are functional drug users and that's fine. Or should be.
> Wouldn't abandoning Xtensa architecture for RISC-V help? Are there any plans to simplify the stack?

I mean, the new one's are already risc-v based and they added tier-3 compiler support for those in rust recently (1.56 IIRC), not sure if they still plan to release xtensa based ones in the future.
I mean, they aren't perfect, but you've got to admit they were solving a hard problem with immense technical constraints. And they certainly care about robust synchronization, since subpar netcode can absolutely determine the success or failure of certain types of games (shooters, fighting games). Players always whine about netcode all the time, although 100% byzantine fault tolerance is not the goal.

Speaking of which, do you really need byzantine fault tolerance in a document editor? I mean, it would be really great if it were possible, but given the vast number of different operations you can perform in a document it seems like a really daunting task to do so both formally and practically. And Google Docs isn't really comparable to Bitcoin or airplane control systems anyway. Perhaps temporary periodic backups (like saving diffs to documents in 5-second intervals for a recent period window, so you can rollback if things seriously fuck up) as an escape hatch would be good enough?
I am not working on integrity (I have a feeling that the integrity offices of many companies have brooms and buckets in them), but I do write software that Serves a constituency that has a very vested interest in the matter, and wish you well.

I also have a personal code of ethics, and hold myself to a very high standard of Personal Integrity.

In my experience, talking about that in the tech community does not end well.

Ethics and Integrity do not seem to be popular topics for discussion in SV.
>IBM also refused to bundle OS/2 with their own computers at a lower price point than the ones with Windows bundled.

Not only that, but, IIRC, they charged more for a PC bundled with OS/2. This was a result of all the groups within IBM having been moved toward being run like individual businesses. So, the OS/2 business charged the PC business (whom they treated like any other customer) more than Microsoft charged for a copy of Windows.

At least that's what I heard at the time.

Not OP. But from my perspective, there has been a huge amount of silencing of speech for non-Left or non-mainstream opinions. Not always in the form of raw censorship, but a weird kind of endorsement, repetition and tacit-acceptance by institutions of only Left-leaning views, and also fear and bully-like tactics that has the ultimate effect of people self-censoring if they happen to be outside of that seemingly-narrow and "Left"-leaning set of opinions.

There are so many opinions that are downright foot-guns or taboos in any sort of public arena for example. And we don't even notice how we self-censor those opinions, nor do we notice it until we have those opinions/ideas and try to voice them. I'm relatively civil and polite on HN, but I don't dare repeat most of what I express here under my real identity.

I’m fairly certain the reason that is currently not officially a thing is due to Safari on iOS missing a huge chunk of features that would have made that possible. They spent over a decade by this point intentionally underfunding that team while maintaining a browser monopoly on their platform under the guise of “security”.

That seems like it’s very slowly starting to change perhaps.

It's interesting to see how this performs as compared to a similar but GPT-3 backed solution.

GPT3:
> Q: Is it ok to express sexism but in a polite way?
> A: Yes.

Allen AI:
> Expressing sexism but in a polite way.
> - It's wrong

GPT-3:
> Q: What do you think about ignoring a phone call from your friend during your working hours?
> A: I think it is rude.

> Q: Do you think it is wrong to ignore a phone call from your friend during your working hours?
> A: Yes.

> Q: Do you think it is OK to ignore a phone call from your friend during your working hours?
> A: Yes.

Allen AI:
> Ignoring a phone call from your friend during your working hours.
> - It's okay

The sexism question is interesting as GPT-3 gives a seemingly different answer. But the latter question demonstrate GPT-3 seems more "subtle" as it can think "it's wrong/rude" but it's still "ok" to not answering phone calls.
I think the Dana has an SD card if that's more your thing. Those things are also pretty indestructible and relatively cheap on ebay.
Ask HN: I built a side project. How do I get people to use it?
At the start of the pandemic, my girlfriend and I decided to work on a side project to keep ourselves busy. We ended up creating https://www.mynamefairy.com/. It's like a tinder for names. It's been a fun project to work on, and its accomplished the technical growth goals that I wanted to get out of it (I learned how to do more modern css, how to setup a FE build with webpack, some vue.js, how to dockerize and deploy a django application, how to use postgres instead of MySQL), but at this point it's been released for over a year and gets maybe 1-2 people a day. Those people are spending time on the site (avg time is 4 minutes, some spend up to 30-40 mins per session), but there just aren't very many of them.

I'm not so much interested in trying to monetize it (although that would certainly be nice), but it'd be great if we could get more people using it. I've shared it on a few of subreddits. (r/django[1], r/python[2], and r/webdev[3]). When doing so, I tried to balance the self promotion aspect with information about which classes I took and found useful, tools I worked with, and various lessons along the way. Those posts did provide a nice little bump for about a week or so, but traffic dropped again afterwards. At this point we're trying to brainstorm what would be the best use of our energies to try and get more people using the site.

Some ideas we've had:
* Focus more on SEO. If I google "tinder for names", we don't even show up. A lighthouse test gives us 100%, but clearly that's not a good enough benchmark for how discoverable we are. We've even thought about paying some SEO expert to help, but so many of the services we find seem scammy.
* Try and find more parenting/expecting mom forums online and posting there.
* Trying to find places around town we could leave flyers (we're based in Amsterdam).
* Just keep on hammering away at features to try and make the site more useful/compelling.

Has anyone else faced a similar quandary and, if so, how did you go about getting more exposure for your project? It's still just a hobby, but we're willing to pay a bit of money if it helped us get some traffic and momentum on it again.

Cron is not a very good task runner on its own if you have lots of hosts, care that your tasks actually run, care that they succeed, need sequencing or need to ensure that multiple instances don't conflict.

cron is fine as part of a task scheduler, but even for very basic use cases you'll hit its limitations and will have to work around them.

It is always interesting to look back. It is clear Intel barely made any improvement since 2016. And the jump from 2014 to 2016 wasn't that spectacular in terms of IPC. PCI-E also happened to stuck at PCI-E 3.0 for a long time. DDR (5) improvement slowed to be point all resources went to LPDDR. ( Although one could argue LPDDR was more in demand ). DRAM and NAND price rise because of Supply and Demand cycle for 3 years. Crypto causes GPU price hike. HDD price only went back to normal in 2016 after the Thailand flood. And HDD roadmap such as HAMR, MAMR were all 5+ years behind. Wireless 802.11ax suffered 3-4 years delay compared to original schedule. Took a long time to agree on NBase-T.

We basically have a 5+ year gap of little improvement in PC Industry. ( Comparatively speaking ).

Don't blame the player, blame the game. Democracy will always converge into extremism the more power government has over people's lives. If you become reliant on government acting violently against the power minority and let government increase it's power, it will always lead to this.

Strongly concur on it being a theater watch, ideally Imax.

The effects are next-level good. You won't see all the detail at home unless you've got one hell of a set-up. There are good sets and costumes, and the CG isn't muddy, cheap Marvel "just good enough not to ruin it" stuff, but is truly good.

It's also very unlikely you have an audio system at home that can keep up. This is both because there's a lot of really good stuff going on in the audio mix that'll fall flat on anything but a stellar home audio setup, and a lot of bad stuff (mostly Nolanesque "wtf did that actor just say?") that'll be even worse.

Acting's good. Big screen doesn't hurt that any, certainly.

The story's Dune. If you like Dune, this is a Dune. That's its strength, and its weakness.

I have to disagree. Script security is often a huge problem. He's solved that by using a program that is unlikely to leak. That was one of the benefits.

You saying the writer was just arrogant feels to me to be the equivalent of saying any artist that chooses to paint with oils instead of acrylics is selfish because acrylic paints are easier to clean.

Edwin from Stripe here. We might place a hold on a Stripe account if a high rate of returns or chargebacks is expected—that way when customers request refunds, their funds are given back to them immediatley (via the account's Stripe balance, rather than waiting to debit from a bank account).

So the guy on the election integrity team then takes a job with the DNC. This is called a revolving door.

The scanning and the database is rapidly growing. We currently cover a large range of domains.

FullHunt is similar to Shodan and Censys, but focuses on solving the Attack Surface Management challenges for companies and organizations.

For example, Shodan focuses on running Internet scans on the IPv4 space, while FullHunt focuses on mapping the external attack surface of organizations. FullHunt can show you the external assets of your organizations a single search about your domain should reveal everything related to the attack surface, starting from CDNs, Cloud Providers, DNS records, Externally-exposed network services, and more soon in the future.

There is a discussion between the Shodan founder and I on Reddit:
