Are you talking about comments by this user? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29719232 They were badly breaking the site guidelines, so we would have moderated that if we had seen it. We ended up banning them some time later: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30128527.

If it seems to you like there's less moderation happening on that sort of comment than there is on comments complaining about corporate product, I can see how that would lead to resentment about how HN is moderated. I wouldn't want to be part of such a place either.

Because there's a degree of randomness in what we happen to see, and we can't moderate what we don't see, there are some comments on every topic that end up not getting moderated. If it's a topic that's particularly important to you (I don't mean you personally, but any reader), bad comments going unmoderated on that topic are going to make a more painful and deeper impression. This perhaps leaves the sense of a double standard because more pain has been caused by those comments than by others.

I don't know what to do about this other than remind people that we don't see everything, that the likeliest explanation for egregious comments going unmoderated is that we haven't seen them, and that we welcome heads-ups about egregious comments that we're missing. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

I never understood the obsession with sending heavily armed police to break down doors for some trivial white collar crime. If there is no immediate threat to life, it can wait. You would think that with all the financial and digital surveillance, the government would be able to do better than physical search, asset robbery, and intimidation. I pay my taxes so the cavalry would come during a violent crime like robbery and kidnapping or physical damage/larceny of personal property. It seems that police are useless when it comes to the urgent crimes and instead waste their time pursuing cases better left to a non-armed government division.
$200 is cheap enough, but it's still not sharp enough to replace a half-decent monitor.
Class analysis isn't that relevant in the workspace. At least in the US, your perceived class changes with economics, so there's not much class differential in meetings.

All said, I don't intuitively buy the idea of Zoom radically changing opportunities. At least as a short engineer, I've sensed zero difference, but then again, I never thought of my height as an actual handicap with regard to my job (studies on initial impressions be damned as the initial impression isn't that relevant once you've built up reputation).
From what I can tell Musk is literally a founder of SpaceX. I know he was a dick to the founders of Tesla, and he deserves shit for that, but it is a fact that Tesla has come very far since then under his leadership, and any claim that the founders would have done better is pure speculation. And of course the teams at these companies deserve credit, which he consistently admits. People who are obsessed with tearing down Tesla/SpaceX are often inconsistent in that any good thing these companies do cannot be attributed at all to Elon, because “he’s just a grifter hypeman, the team/other founders deserve the credit”, but any bad press they get is somehow entirely Elon’s fault. The truth is just that he’s partially responsible for all the good and the bad.

From accounts of people who have actually worked with him, he’s a legitimately smart guy with a laser focus on executing, albeit a micromanager. All the people I’ve seen saying he’s just some idiot MBA type who doesn’t actually believe what he’s selling are random media personalities and pundits. I can’t claim to know which is true, but one is certainly more credible than the other.

> Couldn't have possibly been calculated in bad faith.

> It was.

Lying to the FBI is a serious crime. There’s no way the corporate counsel from Amazon would just allow some “bad faith” calculations to be used to give a false story to the FBI.

Generally, these criminal cases involve multiple employees at the company. The story doesn’t say who else was arrested as part of the investigation or what their outcome was. The FBI can prefer to target the people at the center of a crime.

Did you see Petra? How was it?
He's been testing the waters with going independent for the last couple of years with his tech tech potato channel, and has collabed a lot with Wendell of Level1Techs which is a similarly sized channel, so I'd see it as more likely he's going to try go full time independent. Though it is always possible his experiences have convinced him the other way and he tries to join up with someone now.
>That insistence on reminding everyone, all the time, that he has a doctorate is seriously awkward, though.

He didn't even use it until fairly recently. In the past 3-4 years? I think he had his doctorate even before he joined Anandtech. He only started using it because people were asking him why he didn't put his Dr. in his title.

And it means a lot in different context. Basically it could be used as the biggest middle finger to marketing and PR department to STFU and get a proper engineer to talk to me. Especially in the context of foundry where his research was on Electrochemistry.
Found this to be a pretty awful article throwing around a lot of wild accusations and grandstanding that just really isn't backed by any serious reasoning or interesting facts.

For example:

> ever been a time to really, truly reckon with the harm wrought by organizing our society around the married couple and the private household, it is now, two years into a pandemic that has killed nearly 1 million Americans.

Alternatively what are some additional harms done by not having nuclear families? Americans in particular experience an epidemic of loneliness. Divorce rates are high and many children fall to drugs and alcohol or crime with unstable families at home. Just as you can easily conjure up a conjecture about nuclear families and the problems wrought by them, anyone (including myself) can easily conjure up a conjecture about how not having nuclear families causes all sorts of problems. Why wouldn’t nuclear families be more collectivist anyway? Individuals would be harder for the state to group together and control versus families.

Also it's wild to be blaming or even associating COVID-19 mortality with families regardless of individuality.

Terrible story. Civil forfeiture seems utterly incompatible with any notion of a just society. It's like democracy just gave up and regressed to feudalism.

Even _if_ the author had turned out to be 100% guilty of whatever Amazon accused them of - this form of civil forfeiture is still punishment without trial and not in line with the sixth amendment.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

> it's fairly clear to me that the author failed the interview

I’m not so sure. The interview could have been a pretense to get more information, e.g. strategy for future development.

Also, in a sufficiently machiavellian environment, candidates can easily “fail” interviews by just seeming smarter than the hiring manager, scaring that manager into thinking they’ll be leapfrogged.

> Why not just accept byte slice only and make people binary encode even primitives?

It's a good question since this is what go-fuzz did and it worked pretty well; I don't see the reason in the design documentation. But I don't think it's "clearly" because

> it takes a long time to build a corpus when unnecessarily making the fuzzer figure out UTF-8, JSON, little-endian ints, etc.

Not because it doesn't in some cases (JSON it can, UTF-8 and le ints not really), but because having the fuzzer be aware of that doesn't seem to be the best way to solve the problem; this has been discussed in lots of fuzzing literature from AFL onwards. Structurally-aware mutators might as well also be []byte mutators so you can also more quickly generate JSONL, JSON-in-HTTP-request, JSON-in-CSV-column, and not only bare JSON.

For the specific issue of corpus bootstrapping and measuring coverage, it would seem to be more greatly helped by the approach mentioned in "Instrument specific packages only" in the draft proposal.

And this is putting aside my other point: For any complex structure, you have non-well-formed values with other semantic invariants which randomly-generated structures won't satisfy. (And on a more minor implementation note, you may also have some private fields.) To solve both you'll need to go all the way to custom mutators, which is interesting but a much larger issue - specifically, issue 48815.

What kind of use case are you considering where you want to start with an completely-unconstrained-yet-complex struct and not some external representation of that struct?
There's a lot of videos on police encounters where this very thing happens. Not only that, it's amazing how many times the callers embellish what happened to make their case stronger. At least in these videos, the police don't bother to do any type of investigation. I can see how easy it is to weaponize police.

The government isn't some omniscient, omnipotent entity. It's made of people with all the flaws of regular people. The only difference is they have legal ass coverage in the form of qualified immunity, they investigate themselves, they know the system and how to hide their mistakes, and they protect their own. We should consider putting the beast on a diet.
This is still very cheap :) Be kind in the sense of the bible? Well, then you'd have the have read, or at least be educated, in the bible.

This article is focusses on the safety features of Rust the language but this is not something that many developers (or me at least) considered when adopting yet another language. For me I was looking todo computer graphics with something that wasn't c++ but had similar performance characteristics and could compile to WASM.

Rust had the best language features for this and the most momentum behind it with things like wgpu and bevy. Fighting with the borrow checker and unsafe Rust is not something I do all day or every day, it is just something you live with.
Very nice!

> I can't believe anyone would voluntarily go there, seems like hell on earth

This is an extremely privileged way to think, and I am guessing, you are from a western country. You have had good access to food, and education while growing up. Just a guess... Families, who are on the borderline, or are deep in poverty, in countries such as Pakistan, India, or Bangladesh, go over there for opportunity. They will drive taxis, or work in construction, to send money back, and the remittance is massive. In the billions. It has helped people I know personally get out of poverty, and the children are now being educated in UK universities. These are people who grew up in South Asian villages without much hope.

I grew up in a country next to UAE, and it gave me excellent education in one of the best private schools around, exposure to many cultures, and I am now living in the US based on my life there.

But then again, I do hear from Africans in Southern Africa, why any minority would step foot into the US based on what they see in the news, and yet we have many risking their lives to cross a hostile desert region.
> So let's look at safer, more normal behavior. Call it -300 calories per day: either cutting diet by a medium order of fries each day (and keeping exercise fixed) or doing 40 minutes of moderate exercise (and keeping diet fixed).

That's not how it works though, and the article we are discussing here is hinting at that. The mechanisms are very complex. Going for a run for 40 min that "burns" 300 calories versus not going on that run won't create a calorie deficit of 300 calories. Because "everything else equal" is never going to happen.

There could be tons of effects happening to offset this. Eating more? Eating subtly different things? Eating it in different ways that impact nutrient uptake? More efficient nutrient uptake even when eating the same things in the same way at the same time? Changing patterns of movement that now use less energy? Change in overall metabolism (body temperature, body movements, ...)? Less stress, saving energy? ...? This is a very complex topic and "calories in versus calories out" is just not cutting it. And that's what the article is about. It's an approximation, but a so coarse one that it's barely usable for anything.

This matches my experience. Swimming or biking makes me hungry. Running a reasonably long distance (say, 7+ miles) makes me a slightly nauseous and not hungry at all. Maybe it's because running causes more jostling and/or beats up non-muscle parts of the body more?
No idea. It could be all propaganda or at least I assume it is. As for garbage media, agreed I would have to stop watching all news. All news is mainstream/corporate at this point unless anyone knows of an untainted source.

The invasion in 2014 which is still ongoing were Russian soldiers dressed as separatists and rebels so I suspect we will never see Russia proper.
> They will need a lot of CGI graphics of the starship flying through the space,

SpaceX in its whole history has shown very, very little CGI. Specially compared to many other traditional rocket companies.

> Orbital refueling - no technical details, just cgi images

We know for a fact that NASA was very, very impressed with SpaceX work on orbital refueling. In their bid for the moon mission they got a special shout out from NASA because their approach to it was so much further developed then anybody else.

They also have a contract with NASA about demonstrating cryo fuel transfer in space.

Have you ever consider that just because they are sharing everything with you personally doesn't mean they haven't thought about it?

> crew capacity - no details
> ship layout - no details

Why would they provide details? The crew capacity is not a fixed thing. Depending on the mission the internals will be different. We know what NASA is planning for the moon. In that version there will be very tiny crew.

Likely a somewhat larger crew for the Polaris program. And probably somewhat more for the DearMoon project.

Compared to making a fully reusable super heavy this is peanuts.

> life support - ummm scaled up dargon??

Do you have anything to say other then '??'? Yes, those are machines exist and if you have a larger inside you need to add more of them. This is totally possible and not a '??'. If you are not constraint by weight then doing that is totally reasonable.

And NASA own evaluation of the HLS bid also thought it was reasonable.

Its not reasonable for a Mars flight, but that by far not one of the first missions, they have lots of time to continue to work on that technology.

> raptor 2 - 'its stripped raptor 1 and much better' (still in tests, not proven tech)

They have produced many more of them that many other rocket engine program produced in their hole history. They have test-fired them many, many, many times and they have done full duration test fires as well.

> refuealing and relaunching withing few hours - Falcon 9 takes 30days!

You can't just look at Falcon 9 and say 'this proves it'. That's nonsense. They have many Falcon 9s, why would they try to rush a landed booster into service when they have 10 others waiting.

Falcon 9 often lands in the ocean and it takes a week+ until they even get it back.

> Also someone made a super cut of his 2022 update talk and its beat for beat the same thing he said in update from 2 years ago. Its not a good sign if you havent done anything in 2 years for a project that promises so much in few years time.

Of course and he talked about the same thing in 2016 as well. Because the talks are not primarily about technical details.

Also, your comment is just plane nonsense. We have cameras on their production and launch site literally every day. If anybody thinks that they have not made progress in 2 years then they have not been paying attention and are just deliberately making disingenuous argument.
In all honesty, my concrete advice would be reaching out to other local founders privately and asked what worked for them and what didn't. Note there usually is a lot to these stories that aren't told in public for many reasons.

On top, one thing I regret is not having joined a network of founders and entrepreneurs earlier. These days, I would just ask them and get 2-3 spot-on recommendations with warm intros in a day. We hackers and builders usually scoff at these kind of "elite" networks until we realize building and selling a company is fundamentally a people business, where connections and trust are paramount. Reach out to me on LinkedIn for an intro to the organization I'm in (it's global).

As for the original advice: +100 from my side. Especially if the whole founder round is not experienced, you really want to have a cold blooded veteran on your side. Someone who commands respect by founders, is hired by you guys and is incentivized by getting home a part of the deal. Not only do these brokers have the know-how, they usually have a vast network of interested parties to bring to the table at any time to get a bidding war started and are experienced in navigating the delicate timing of the funnel that is crucial for a success. The differences in outcome I've personally witnessed with and without brokers are night and day, even though I have my own cultural issues with them.
Compared to Linux it’s a toss up. Though the Mac UI is miles ahead of standard Linux; you have to spend quite a long time tuning your DE to get something good and even then there is UI consistency across toolkits. The Mac has things like Office, Photoshop, Affinity Photo, more games as well. Linux has better package managers and is more customisable.

Both are vastly better than Windows for development.

Similarly, the average American has fallen out of love with pop culture, since it isn't actually popular culture, it's the fringes of culture trying to drive the status quo.

It can't actually succeed though, because it doesn't agree with itself. At best it can help humanize the fringes. At worst, it will do the opposite because it tells the status quo that out of all of the multitudes of valid ways there are to be, theirs is the least valid.
