very mature. It's no surprise to me that an advocate of this MLM speculation scam is unhappy people recognize it for what it is, I'm just surprised you couldn't do a better job defending it before resorting to nonsense.
I'm not sure I 100% understand what you are reacting to. I want to understand these two points a bit better:

It is in fact plainly racist on it's face to demonize a group based on immutable characteristics.

Yes. Where have I, or the study's author, done this?

It is even worse when actual diversity of though is ignored and people of color are demonized because they don't agree with a race-marxist ideology.

Yes. Where have I, or the study's author, done this?
Yes, but like IPV4 to IPV6 transition it's work.
You don't have to use the plugin, just search at the top of the page.

The text around the plugin is misleading. Strike 1 IMHO.
I don't like requiring a chrome extension to search, and giving a 404 error on uninstall (https://you.com/chrome_uninstall_survey) is suspicious. If the developers aren't checking links and testing their product, then I don't want to use it.

Pretty much anything that requires real time communication involving a deep base of knowledge. I'm not going to list out hundreds of possible roles that this encompasses - but I'm sure you have the imagination to think of a few.
White supremacy is the idea that white people are inherently better and more capable and therefore more deserving.
Hence, for something to be white supremacy, it doesn't just need to have a bias favoring white people. It should also have a justification of this favoring based on white people deserving better or being better.

Racist systems that have encoded societies biases are generally not white supremacist. The 'justification' for those systems is often things like "this is just the way it is" or "this was easier to do like this" or "I went with my own experience".

These days a lot of racism does not come from white supremacy. It either comes from something like familiarity bias of people in power, or from following the status quo mindlessly. Calling those acts white supremacist can be dangerous. It allows the real white supremacists to hide among the unknowing. It also pushes people who unintentionally did something racist way into the defensive if you tell them they are white supremacist. And pushing people who unintentionally did racist things into defending their actions is not going to make things better.

Great work!

The one thing that sticks out to me as a 'flaw' in this app is how it is marketed. It might be better to market it under a 'normal' name as a great blogging app, which, by the way, is uncensorable, etc.

That might make it seem like a good alternative for the general public rather than just a safe haven for marginalized voices.

Similar for me with protanomaly. I can see a small difference for Machado, Viénot and Brettel (the most saturated red becomes green-ish), but the difference is more significant with Coblis V2, and pretty much just broken with Coblis V1.

To be fair part of the failure of CoblisV1 could be the lack of sRGB/gamma correction, but none of the implementations I found online had it.

If you want to play a bit more with the simulations of Brettel / Viénot / Machado this article has more images: https://daltonlens.org/evaluating-cvd-simulation/
A third party doing support for Frontier Communications, among others. I wouldn't put too much faith in their practices being an outlier though.
I'd say "works as it should" if there was evidence of actual human rights violations. They keep happening everywhere. Not conspirations without any trace of substance and airing grievances of privileged classes.

It's NOT that I disagree. Every now and then I do consider something nonmainstream credible enough to research deeper. Guess how such research ends up. Poorly.
I don't agree at all. The new bloatware is spyware and tracking and advertising and "offers" and popups and subscription upsells. No matter how free you consider my resources, the software actually does bad things that I don't want it to do.
Digging into method, then: more-frequently-occurring tags are presumed to be more general than less-frequently-appearing tags?

Or is there no presumption of specificity / generality at all, and just an association between tags.

If the latter, it's not clear to me how the tags are directed, other than in the sense of an RDF triple's subject, predicate, and object.

“Government is dysfunctional”

We agree on that then. I’m inclined to think that giving them more money will not make them more functional. It will do the opposite. If a private company gives you worse service do you pay them more? In economics I believe they call that a perverse incentive. Paying them proportional to their failure is the proverbial “throwing good money after bad.” Pretending there’s no such thing as “competition” or “incentives” is not merely ignorance of basic economics, it’s disastrous in a democracy that depends on rational voting.
If I could pay $5 or $10 (or heck $25) a month for a programmable search engine, then I'm ready.

But competing with Google 90% on "their terms" seems super tough. Yes the design is a little different and that's awesome that You.com is experimenting, but I just wish I could pay for this.
Aren't the things you listed precisely the things that article is saying will change? The point of the article is that countries with favorable time zones for U.S. business hours can implement policies to attract immigrants to come and work remotely for U.S. companies.
> That's clearly a mistake of history. Political affiliation or non-affiliation really needs to be protected at the same level as religious affiliation or non-affiliation.

Gender and race are social constructs. But they have some form. Political ideology has zero form. This is either a move to render protected classes useless or turn every decision in America into a California-style well of litigation.

We are, though we started out using EBS. As you mentioned, NVMe instance storage performs much better for our workload. We work around the lack of durability through strong automation of point in time restore/swapping in of new nodes in case of hardware failures.

And yes, reservations make a massive difference economically.

Brave browser seems to have figured out a way to make money on ads without sacrificing user data/privacy. If you opt in to their ads they basically sync ad campaigns to your browser and then use local browsing profiles that don't get sent to any servers to decide which ads to show you. It all happens on your computer and it doesn't send your profile to anybody, so the only user data involved is "user looked at an ad, but we have no idea who actually looked at it".
You did a much better job than I did explaining why Washington is a risky person to associate with when trying to convey the idea of freedom. His legacy in that regard is too messy.

And you're absolutely right - I am not enlightened.

SOC is probably the pulse of the future, especially once we reach the point where game CGI is virtually indistinguishable from reality.

I'm sure the idea of connecting multiple things to your computer (like ram, graphics cards, storage, etc.) to increase its functionality will eventually be reduced away to maybe 2 or 3 pieces total, for instance a phone & some biometric sensors that are used to interact with it.

If wattage draw is low enough the whole thing could probably run on a supercapacitor and need a moments charge every couple of hours to stay up and running.
I agree. A phone is also quite a staple for a long time now. Smartphones were so successful because they are basically better phones.

A VR headset is something normal people are just not used to. I guess that will be that way for quite a bit time.
Person with personal interest is opposed to those against said personal interest.
You can, but in France you would have to go freelance, as I did.

There would be no way to charge what I make if I were an employee. In fact, most companies would not give me the level of responsability I had as a junior freelance, even today.

And yet, it's better in IT than in any other field. You already make more money, and the requirements are relaxed compared to other sectors.

I some countries, like the UK (well, brexited now), it can be better. But you'll also most likely be working for a bank.
Out of curiosity, how many languages would meet those criteria? Only one I can think of off the top of my head is CompCert's C dialect. Are there others?

> There were also plenty of kids on my hall who were in their rooms at basically all times, leaving only for class and food.

If I may venture a guess, it may have been caused by the lack of better alternatives.

Reducing the sleeping room to its core feature (sleeping!) may give more space to build rooms for other important features, while disincentivizing staying in one room at basically all times (which I see as generally a bad idea)
They do appear to be addressing some of those rough edges in 1.18 with the ability to specify a working mod file separate from the normal go.mod file, but you're not wrong, vendoring has some rough edges for sure.
You say that you don't store any information to ensure privacy but this is essentially asking users to trust you. Why not build trust into the technology from the outset? Or have I missed something and that is what you've done? Barring that, what actions do you intend to take to ensure data is kept private (external audit, etc)?

You also say this is open source. I didn't look all that hard but could you provide a link to the associated repositories and mention what license it's under? Also, when you say "open source", do you mean the code only or are you providing data to the community as well?

Also, I'm not sure the claim "world's first open source engine platform" is really accurate. I don't claim to have any big insight into what the various "tiers" of search engine there are (code, data, aggregation?) but I see at least one list that looks to have many FOSS alternatives to Google search [0].

Could you go into what's novel about You.com compared to other FOSS alternatives?

I like the concept but the desktop version makes me scroll horizontally to look through results. I'd rather scroll vertically on desktop, and come to think of it I'd probably prefer vertical on mobile. Scrolling sideways like that is really annoying.
> If you core engineering staff is turning over multiple times for arbitrary reasons you have other problems to deal with.

People leave for all sorts of reasons: Moving for family reasons, becoming stay-at-home parents, moving for a spouse's job, retiring, starting their own companies, or even just getting bored and wanting to do something different. Or it could be as simple as getting promoted to a different role.

It's unrealistic to make engineering decisions with the assumption that the same engineers will be around and stuck on the same project forever.

Like the OP said: Every hour they have to spend working on the colocation setup is an hour they aren't spending on your company's competitive advantage, so you have to hire more engineers (and more managers) to compensate.

> If a company can't hire datacenter techs...

How many techs do you think you need for reasonable on-call coverage? 3? 6? Add a manager in the mix because you need someone to manage them.

The costs add up quickly.

It's weird to see people championing colocation as a cost saver and then pivoting to arguments that you just need to hire more engineers and techs and manage them.

Employees are expensive. One of the primary benefits of cloud is that you don't have to hire and manage all of these employees to do all of these things at the colo.
Oh, a postgres disk controler / fs / storage engine would be an interesting project.
Im from Germany and was insured privately during my childhood and my parents still are. The public healthcare system is just as good, you have less stress with doctors using you to earn good money but have to wait sometimes longer for getting an appointment (which still is pretty fast in the international comparison)
I don't see how those are mutually exclusive. You could do something like:

XMPP failed only in the sense that Facebook and Google decided to stop participating in the federation. Other than that it's still alive and a good way to communicate.
I agree, this guy is indeed a criminal.
I feel it's fair that they're on AWS right now. Generally the arc of MVP->IPO involves using the cloud to find product market fit, and as that fit improves your revenues should also. Moving from the cloud to a colo would then be driven by capital investment to bring down COGs; to either improve PPS or get to cash-flow positive.

Heap using AWS just means they've not yet reached a point on that trajectory where the capital investment moves the needle enough to warrant it. That could be for any number of reasons.
I'm not even so sure it's going to come from the insurance industry, but just from B2B customers.

Banks and insurance companies have been implementing on their own and requiring rigorous standards from their vendors. Then there's meeting the requirements for FedRAMP certification if you want to sell to Uncle Sam.

If you look at the tech stack of a company like Progressive and how they do software deployments, they are _significantly advanced_ in comparison to the rest of industry. They also made their transformation extremely quickly by committing adequate internal resources to the problem.

Author here - It's explained in the post but the primary driver is cost. 80%+ reduction in storage is massive when you're storing petabytes of data on ssds.
This is overly cynical and alarmist. Outsourcing has been a thing for a long time and its results have also been known for a long time.

Companies, for lack of a better term, have "fucked around and found out" by not going (relatively) local and depending on offshoring (even nearshoring) to their ultimate detriment. This isn't to say that companies that are remote (as in geographically) don't now have a bigger pool but large and high functioning tech companies are not going to all of a sudden abandon home-grown talent for offshoring.

Back when I used to use toilet paper, I would sometimes encounter a kind which would fall apart while I was still wiping, breaking up into a bunch of tiny "rollies" which would, as you may guess, would remain stuck to my butt. It was one of the "extra soft" brands, I think.
It seems shocking to me, that you haven't yet migrated, however you know your costs/benefit ratio more than I do. Have you ever examined a split model, where some parts of the load are run on your own or rented dedicated servers, and some runs on AWS?

Separately to your comment about LVM... the LVM snapshot requires that a separate part of the volumes be set aside to hold the snapshot data.

If the snapshot volume fills up with changes being made to volume that holds your data before the snapshot completes, then the snapshot will fail.

This does not occur with ZFS as you have noticed.

And then you reach a point where you don't even know what you need to Google to solve a problem. I can't believe some people are under the impression that being successful at your job is only a matter of translating requests through the Google machine and spitting out answers. It tells me that they have not faced complex problems before.
The key difference is that a significant number of high-earning software developers employed by U.S. companies are already working remotely, and many of those are working remotely indefinitely.
Old-school xerox fanzine traded through the mail for stamps and sase.
When deciding what is fair in tax, we should perhaps consider not how much is paid in tax, but how much remains after tax. If a middle to low income earner pays $10k in tax, but then has trouble paying their bills, or keeping a roof over their head, have they paid a fair share? When a bilionaire pays $100m in taxes and has billions left to fritter away on going to space or playing with crypto stocks, have they paid a fair share?
A good designed test shouldn't depend on rote memorization, so it would require much less intrusive spying.

Example: design a database schema for a grocery store with such and such requirements... you either know or don't know how to do it but you won't find the answer on the web.
That's definitely the preferable path if there are significant numbers of pedestrians, yes. If the sidewalk is basically empty, I think it's okay to ride. And there are some 'multi-use paths' I've seen that are basically still just sidewalks where bikes are explicitly permitted.

For web search, are you using the Bing API? If so, do you have thoughts from the private beta on how it compares to Google - where it does similarly/better, where it does worse?
It's already primarily is driven by digital currency in the form of credit. We're not sending greenbacks through the intertubes.

For some reason whenever I try to go to the New York Times site from my phone the browser autocompletes to the HN URL. So it’s really Safari’s fault that I’m here so often...
Voat is a pretty famous and obvious example, sure. But how many people who like to bring up voat actually visited the site or tried to use it? Did you?

For the record, I've never visited voat, so I don't know how accurate the reports are. I can say that I have visited other forums with very lax moderation, and the caricature of "screaming the N-word in everyone's face" doesn't seem accurate.

Generally the reason I avoid unmoderated platforms has little to do with "hate speech" (whatever that is) but more to do with the lack of interesting or original content.

The risk with moderated platforms is this: in whose interest is the moderation being performed? Is the moderation being performed to serve the interests of the platform's users, or is it to serve other interests?

> We can't apply 1:1 laws to crypto precisely because of this.

I think in a lot of cases that's simply wishful thinking. They Howey test is actually a very good fit in the crypto space broadly, especially alongside the guidance from the SEC on how to interpret it with respect to digital assets. [1] Most tokens are just straight-up securities, what we're lacking isn't regulation but enforcement.

NFTs are likely not securities as they fail the Howey test. [2] Fractionalized NFTs, however, probably are securities.

> I can write a piece of code in a few minutes for all the collection I own, does not make it wash trading.

It's still wash trading, of course, it may not be a crime because it's not done against a security as I mentioned.

IMO it could be some other kind of fraud or civil matter already as you're enticing a purchase on the basis of intentionally misrepresenting past trades. If not, I agree, this might be a good area for some additional regulation, either here or in markets broadly (I'm looking at you, art and collectibles).

We need a Supreme Court ruling or law that says if the government doesn’t have a warrant to collect your data, they also can’t buy it from third parties.

App stores are actually an enabler for this sort of cancer; Apple is already speaking about reporting people to the police, they can obviously add an anti-cheat as well. And there will be no way escaping that.

I've wondered about the fact that (AFAIK) Tor routes only TCP:

1. Is that (still) correct?

2. Can't web pages include non-TCP traffic, and if so, is it routed via Tor? For example, doesn't some some streaming media use UDP?

3. QUIC doesn't use TCP (deliberately, I think). Won't that affect Tor's long-term viability if everyone eventually moves to QUIC?
