Follow the link to the WSJ article in the text you've quoted. [0] You'll see a similar conflation of "issues with automated Arabic moderation" and "Afghanistan".

In context, though, it appears to be less a confusion about which language is spoken there and more a narrative lift from the WSJ article. Said article's structure places more emphasis on the facticity of Facebook's AI-based moderation, which only successfully classifies and removes an estimate of 2% of viewed hate speech in any language, then introduces Afghanistan's lower rate as an (imperfect and frankly kinda silly) example of Facebook deprioritizing other languages' AI moderation.

And none of that happens anywhere basically (except maybe some barrios in El Salvador or Venezuela)

Besides, in this world the shit is everywhere it's just the color that changes and the window dressing that makes people believe otherwise.

I'd rather deal with impoverished people and deal personally with my security than some scum of Silicon Valley such as Elizabeth Holmes or Elon Musk.
do you have different backend servers for those endpoints?
Completely agreed, and this is why conflating protocols and programs is really obnoxious. This seems really common in proprietary software, where the conflation is deliberate, no protocol spec is defined, and the implication is that no other programs can interact with the protocol. (E.g. "zoommtg://" referring both to a software client and to a protocol.)
That is incredible. Every time I try to hear it one way I do, and then I try and hear it the other way and I do, clear as day. I even started backing up the playback bar and repeating the exact same part of the audio and it's BOTH!
One example of allowing everything is the mass murder of New Zealand mosque that was live streamed on Facebook, do you say that something like that should be allowed and Facebook cannot censor any content?

I have been on both sides of this.

I worked for a time at a startup with decent salary in a generalist role, such that sometimes I did things directly related to my skillsets and interests, and other times got to pick up entirely new skillsets. This broadened my horizons significantly and put me in a decent position financially, though nowhere near FIRE.

After that I took a pay cut to pursue something fun and interesting (moving to a new country to help an old colleague establish a research group). This gave me a chance to work on my own projects and passions but also pulled me out of the fast-paced and wide-reaching environment that you find in a startup. The freedom is great but the cash compensation hurts a bit, so the rest of the package has to make up for it -- most days it does.

All things considered, you can find interesting things to do (and people to do them with) in most positions. Taking one with higher compensation and comparable commitment of time and energy is rarely a mistake. Especially if that compensation makes you financially independent with reasonable probability.

The part that still baffles me is that if you did that, the NFT community would just say "oh well that's not the REAL owner!" and pretend you don't exist

Similarly if you "stole" the blockchain receipt of an actual NFT, therefore gaining "ownership" of it, the NFT community would simply pretend the person you stole it from was still the "real" owner, despite having zero "verifiable" status to it, beyond having possibly tweeted it before you did

Dark matter is especially dubious to me. Is it possible its literally matter which is dark? i.e. there are more planets and asteroids and mass than we can see because it is not illuminated? How can we be confident in our prediction of the mass of distant galaxies?

Maybe that is what is meant when a physicist says dark matter, and its the media that mysticizes it.
Show HN: Help a Software Engineer Succeed
Hi everyone, my name is Daniele, I am a Computer Engineer and this post is about the game I developed for mobile devices. Throughout my life I studied hard and working at the same time, technology and computer science are my passion I have always made many sacrifices to study what I liked and pay for my studies. Today is exactly the day I developed and released the game I created I hope that at least in part will allow me to repay all the sacrifices made, so please download and rate the App, I believe in you, I believe in this community of people like me. I leave you below a brief description of the game. SplitBall is a fantastic arcade game in endless mode where you have to tap the display to avoid obstacles and collect stars to stay alive and set your record.

In this case he is not making factual claims. It is purely a philosophical discussion. You can agree or disagree with the content itself. But I don't think a person being a liar or not should necessarily stop you from interacting with their content. If you found out Plato or Aristotle often lied in their daily life would that stop you from reading their works?

That would be strange to me.

Didnt say so, did I? Hard work is necessary but not sufficient, thats my statement.
Well you have to start somewhere. You will never get perfect security, however persisting malicious code on disk (and getting the machine to boot from it) is easy and standardized. Doing the same in firmware (or non-volatile storage in other parts of the machine) is going to be very manufacturer-specific and will require knowledge of the exact hardware, versions, etc and because of the air gap you can't even tell whether your attempt worked (and of course if your malware needs to exfiltrate data it still needs to break out of the air gap).

TLDR: it's not bulletproof but increases the effort required from an attacker significantly.
Josh, please read the sentence in context and don't make boring and wrong "gotchas".

Given that 80% of the world doesn't have that, yeah. But for that 20%, the author's path isn't entirely unreasonable (if a bit quick). Make $$$, spend $, invest $$. it requires living somewhere other than CA and probably not having kids, but if you can make those sacrifices and can play the software engineer game, it's more a matter of math working out than it is an unreasonable path.
> Why does a forum post need to be compelling? I just want to ask a fucking question or pick a nit.

The reason you're asking a question is to have it answered. If the question is not compelling enough to get a reply, you have failed to get the information you want, and your efforts have been wasted. The reason you're picking a nit in public is because you either want other people to empathize with you, argue with you, or both. Otherwise you'd keep it to yourself.
At first glance, watt looks like a substantial improvement that would close the door on arbitrary code execution by proc macro crates. Yes, please! While this may not solve the general problem of package identity validation, it closes a Rust-specific hole that hopefully doesn't need to exist.

> I have saved all my money in USD

If your entire life savings are in USD, you're doing it wrong. USD (any real currency, really) is to be spent. It has no returns. It is not a productive asset. The only reason to hold USD is to have liquidity. It is not a good thing for your non-productive medium of exchange to be one of the better stores of value, as it discourages investment into actually productive things. We shouldn't want a society that takes all their value and buries it in the backyard, we should want a society that is encouraged to invest in each other, trade, and grow.
Life has whatever purpose you give to it. That's it.
> I was there. You are just biased.

That doesn’t mean you’re free of bias. If anything it means the opposite.

“Limux worked” and “we solved a whole ton of problems and had to implement printing dialogs, QT interfaces and more” feel like statements somewhat at odds with each other. Were all these bug fixes complete on day one or did they have to be done after the Limux switch had been made?

Obviously I’m an outside observer here but boasting that you had to do a whole ton of work including network management and that no one has done much to it since makes it sound to me like maybe Linux isn’t or wasn’t ready.
What's your experience with Guix and Nix on laptops? Which among them are sufficiently supported to be daily drivers?

Have you tried running Proton on Guix?

For someone who is interested in the Guix/Nix ethos but wants to keep Arch, is there anything aside from sentimental reasons that I would be missing by just running the Nix/Guix package managers on top of Arch .
> What ? I've never heard of a scenario where you get less money after tax as a contractor vs employee

It’s called self-employment tax: https://smartasset.com/taxes/self-employment-tax

It’s not actually a separate tax. Normally your employer pays these taxes but you don’t see it. When you are a contractor you are self-employed, so as an employer of yourself you have to pay these taxes like any other employer.

Some people play games with certain corporate structures where they pretend they’re only worth a fraction of what they’re getting paid and then they extract the rest as dividends. It’s one of those tax tricks that works as long as nobody ever looks to closely at your tax returns, but if you’re caught you have to pay it back plus penalties.
Seriously this sounds like a isht business. End result is squeezing all the merchants into one giant crappy company - all profit rolls up to OpenStore.

This also kills off any creators willingness to bring newer products to the market on a continual basis as they no longer own the store. I guess alternatively what you end up is with a bunch of people who make stores quickly off a new product and sell to OpenStore, rinse and repeat.
What other attributes are there for success?
No one said miracle. It's just a list of facts that some people aren't aware of. If it felt miraculous to you, well sir, its your lucky day, you get to experience a miracle yourself and instal Linux!

A charitable interpretation would be to understand the "arabic" as in "The arabic script", that is: the alphabet. This is indeed the written representation of Persian and Urdu.

It's a common confusion for some people to conflate a natural language with it's script. Compare with the similar confusion that conflates a programming language with either it's implementation or the snytax used to write it in text files.

>The pebble time used a small FPGA to act as a display controller for their custom ePaper-like color LCD display.

Minor correction: the pebble time uses a standard off-the-shelf Sharp Memory LCD display[0]. These displays are commonly used on smart watches so they're not propriety to Pebble. Sharp ships these displays as complete modules, with all control logic built-in, so you just need to supply power and serial commands to drive them. Any standard microcontroller can drive these.

You're right that Pebble chose to put an FPGA between their main microcontroller and the Sharp Memory LCD though.

It's worth noting that this behavior is also a sticking point with some users and distros, and I believe was at least part of the reasoning behind podman being developed by Red Hat.

Sometimes you don't want some third party controlling and blessing what's okay, you want to explicitly control that by only allowing sources you control so you can't even accidentally use that third party.

Different groups have different use cases and it's hard to support them all well.

> So there’s a lot missing from this blog post. I suspect maybe the author got lucky with some outlier investments, but that’s not something that can be conveyed in a “how to” blog post.

Why do you think that? All the numbers work out. Even in your hypothetical scenario, investing 100k for 7 years, especially in the last 7 years, would easily bring you 1M total investments.

> FIRE type wealth trajectories are possible, but this isn’t what it looks like. Working normally-paid jobs for 7 years and just living your normal life doesn’t get you there.

This is exactly what FIRE is, and again, using numbers from your own post, which I think are reasonable, this is exactly what it looks like. 1M invested, 25k/yr expenses = 40 years with no gains in investments, people into FIRE usually assume 4% growth, so he would be even better off. If that isn't FIRE, I don't know what is.

There is something wrong with grouping all "crypto" together.

It's like having an asset class called "coinage" that includes gold and silver coins, copper pennies, and everything in between.
As I read this I kept finding my mind pulled toward metallurgical concepts. A rigid ego gets people into lots of trouble. They lead people down dark alleyways. They break instead of bend, leaving sharp edges everywhere that hurt everyone around them.

Flexible people can either be door stops or assertive, and which they are has to do with how much they think of their own opinions and abilities.

Strength doesn't have to mean rigid, and there are multiple neuroses depending on which mix you're discussing. 'Ego-strength' suggests one dimension which IMO simply muddies the waters.
AFAIK I can't really run Jupyter notebooks, R, LaTeX and Rust on a tablet though. Perhaps the JingPad.
If the intermediate is compromised you'll need to do a new key ceremony with the root to sign a new CRL, correct? And I'm assuming every component is configured to explicitly check CRLs and fail if those are unavailable for whatever reason, right? How does it ensure that the CRL it's getting is the latest CRL including the now-revoked certificate, and not an earlier one that's being replayed?
In French it's horrible as well. They have such a naive approach it is ridiculous. One word that keeps getting banned is "pédale" which means pedal but was also used as a slur till maybe the 90s in France. Some people getting banned because they want to sell their guitar pedal... pretty ridiculous.
It’s akin to them holding www.google.com, which is a memory block in a distributed database in a machine network to other machines.

I don’t need to use DNS to transmit/receive bits but only Google can transmit and receive from google.com using the DNS network

There’s nothing stopping people from setting up their own tribal network now that high speed reliable physical networks exist and cloud is push button deploy for an expert.

Like video subscriptions everyone is selling a platform to own memory addresses abstracted into a domain, and NFT.

Our internet is a multiverse of the same old electron states printing differently depending on preferences

I think humanity is starting to realize again the mainstream ephemeral value store (dollars) is not the only one. The network that generates these experiences is.

Who cares how much we spend (money is just an emotional abstract) so long as the network lives?

Long live the network
At least with iron, you'd have the benefit of the existing refined ore lying all around you in a post-apocalyptic setting. There's little need for actually mining iron ore anymore if your population has been reduced by 99% or more. You can walk down any abandoned street and find sources of iron and other metals. Now, there's still the refining process (but it would be shorter from something already processed) and fuel to contend with.
An NFT is also not an object.

Regarding consciousness - do you think consciousness is not made of atoms? What is it made of?
No. What I'm saying is that many of the dependencies in any language don't need to perform side effects, they only do pure calculations. For example a JSON parser takes a JSON string and returns some data structures. It's a pure function. However, in a language like Rust you can easily hide malicious code that has access to network inside such a function. In a pure functional language you can tell from the signature of a function you're calling that it is indeed a pure function and is guaranteed to not perform any side effects. So it is safe to call any function from a third-party dependency that doesn't do side effects (which you can immediately see from the type signature) without even inspecting the code.
a) His definition of wealthy isn't entirely financial: "My personal mantra is: 'try to get 80% of the reward with 20% of the work'. I’m not interested in giving 100% to get 100%: that is an overcrowded game."

b) It says that he reduced his living expenses and invested most of it in a diversified portfolio without too much in crypto.

c) the real missing ingredient is to do this all during a period of explosive growth in both the stock market and your chosen sector, which involves a lot of luck.
No, the analogy is that censorship is criminal. We have one set of criminals (people complaining about Facebook) wanting to turn in another set of criminals (crackdown on Facebook censorship) so that they're the only criminals around (they want to be in control of the censorship). They don't actually want to stop crime (they don't actually want to stop censorship).

100k invested a year at 8% return is $963k, essentially a millionaire and very wealthy in most of the world. Nothing fancy required just get standard stock market returns.

Even going slightly less aggressively, if you are self employed you can put ~52k a year into a an i401k pre-tax and then 6k into an IRA. So 58k a year makes you a millionaire after 11 years.

Run it for 20 years and you have 2.8 million and can retire relatively young. Its not driving a Rolls Royce retirement but its comfortable and you got there through low stress and got to enjoy the journey.
There is no one who is eg the GM of Heroku. Salesforce has no idea what they have and are basically tying to figure out how to get existing SF customers to use it. I think they want Heroku customers to start using SF more but have no clue how. The result is that Heroku feels abandoned and on life support.

Its too bad because Heroku is a great product that has a ton more potential.
