Being told you're wrong is helpful. It helps you build up a correct view of the world and figure out the right direction to go. If you're driving in the wrong direction it's better to be told that sooner rather than later, even if that doesn't tell you what turn to make.
They fit the definition of expat; they have no intention of acquiring citizenship nor to move their family there.

This sounds like filter-bubbling. From what I can tell, Google doesn't have user specific filter bubble but user-category filter bubbles, and it's constantly updating the category of users it thinks you're in.
I think you might benefit from examining how bias can take over when you only do emotional labor on an ad-hoc, unplanned, unstructured basis.
I get that it is very tempting. We all want to do anything that could help our kids. However, there are also an endless number of things people are selling to new parents that prey on that reflex. I truly don’t know the right thing to do here, but the position I mentioned earlier basically follows the recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics: https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/140/5/e20172...

This was from 2017 and is basically the same as a reference I found from 2007. Has there been any actual changes in the state of the art since it was published?
I'm a very sparing user of social media, but after work I do love to play games. I play games with people I know IRL as well as a litany of people I've never met - true to my old 90's and 00's gamer days. Now, there's Discord.

I was pretty skeptical the first time people implored me to join a Discord server, but I've found some communities are very dope. I've discovered that managing peoples behavior online is like trying to herd sheep in a straight line. The flock always goes forward, that much is constant. There are sheep on the left and on the right side of the herd that push the herd onto a new trajectory, a lot of the time I don't think they even know what they're doing, but if you take a step back you can watch it occur in real-time. A leader, who likely doesn't know they're a leader, starts acting in a certain way, which causes the shift. Then another leader clashes with that leader by proxy, which is what I describe as the other side of the herd. These bounding behaviors almost never keep the flock constrained, they cause the flock to split.

These leaders are disposable though. They're placeholders for culture, language, collections of experience, values, etc that people identify with. It takes having conversations with troublemakers and making their effects known in plain language. Some people will get it, moderate their behavior despite their culture, language, collections of experience, values etc and some won't. Those who won't will either leave on their own or get banned.
"appName": "Netscape",

So, without checking the user agent string, window.navigator basically tells me that this browser is Netscape 5.0. How is that helpful?
Interesting observations about the sunk costs vs achievements. Makes me wonder if just starting over really is the best approach at times.
I know quite a few women who are disgusted by the number of men just looking for short term gratification that tinder and the like attract.

If anything, I would expect it to mirror the ratio found on sites like eHarmony- basically more long term / marriage / family oriented than Tinder would be.

That said, it is a dating site- men outnumbering women is practically guaranteed.
The sex ratio doesn't really matter if he and his friends get preferential treatment in the app.

That's the usual reason for starting / financing a dating app.
"I think once people move past gene editing as "playing god", we will be able to get rid of advanced genetic diseases entirely (ie, muscular dystrophy) and edit our genes to be naturally resistant to todays and future diseases."

I think the "go fast and break things" mindset is scarier here than the debates about whether or not we have the right to play God.

Apple should be able to identify your MP3s as long as those songs are also in the Apple Music collection (and you are subscribed to Apple Music).

There’s a “Create Station” feature that might be what you’re looking for.

Additionally, for discovering new music, Apple Music has plenty of recommendations and curated playlists to check out. Like most machine-curated approximations of my taste, these never quite do it for me and I end up finding new music by exploring artists/producers/labels I’m interested in “by hand”.

But in any case, Apple Music is definitely a better choice over Spotify if you want to maintain a collection of personal media files while getting access to a big streaming catalogue and recommendations. If you use iCloud Music Library, your MP3s are cloud-synced to all your devices automatically. Spotify allows adding personal files, but it must be done manually per-device, so it’s quite a headache if you regularly listen to anything that isn’t available to stream (due to business, politics, or simply never having an official release).
Exactly. If I just bought some power tool for a home improvement project, I am the least likely person in the country to want to buy that exact same power tool the next day.

It really depends. If you say a facebook employee should quit because their company is toxic, you'll have dang on you in no time. Talk about killing homeless people as a solution to homelessness in SF? No problem.

The moderation here is setup to avoid personal attacks, snark, and to stop people from shitting on YC companies, but for the most part, a lot of the most toxic parts of the internet are just as bad here (or worse) than other parts of the internet.
I don't see why it wouldn't, considering there are conservatives of all sexual orientations, and one has nothing to do with the other.
The problem is that ads price discriminate. Google may not get much money off of you, but there are other users that are very valuable (think of a manager in a billion dollar enterprise searching for a subscription product to buy). Would you be okay with it costing 0.05% of your income?

Of course it will be hard to compete with ads as business model if the alternative doesn't allow for price discrimination.

It's infectious, toxicity. It keeps spreading, and faster, the more serious people take something. When you stop taking the whole thing so seriously and laugh--at yourself, first--then the tension breaks.
Comments can be good but easy to get downvoted, unlike reddit. It's easy for things to be taken out of context or misunderstood. My advice is to make sure you state your positions as clearly as possible. This is not twitter: use as many words as needed to avoid ambiguity. Make sure you have read the post or submission you are replying to as carefully as possible. If wrong, do not clarify. Instead either edit the original post or move on. That may get more downvotes.
This is fixed now. If you download the demo again it should work for you.

Both sides are expensive. Early finality can create costs, and ability to reverse also means effort.

I think, most legal systems are setup to make reaching finality on material things pretty expensive (but also very difficult/impossible to challenge once it reaches finality). Overall, societies seem to work well that way given the pretty long track record.
I think that's the point that the author is trying to make. If the federal government disagrees with the bitcoin blockchain, then the blockchain is wrong.

It doesn't really matter what the code says, or what bits are inscribed somewhere. Finance and ownership are ultimately enforced by armies, not computer programs.

This is one reason why some people think that cryptocurrencies are playing with fire. It's also why major exchanges won't make it easy to cash out laundered bitcoins to USD.
I like this idea of incorporating trust and reputation. As for the curation of websites not scaling, some time ago I thought about the possibility of a search engine where the user supplies a list of trusted websites (for example, university websites, blogs of people they admire), and the search engine ranks pages based on link distance to these websites.

There is a perfectly good solution, and some people use it: don't buy from unknown vendors. If you buy a product from one of a few well-known companies in that space, they have a big investment in their brand, and are much less likely to engage in behaviors that might diminish the value of that brand.

The price is that you pay more -- effectively, you are paying for that branding.

I've had so many bad experiences on Amazon that I am increasingly doing just that. It doesn't apply to everything, but it is a useful strategy.

They're only acknowledging this now?

This principle has long been known to be a bad idea; I've articulated this myself and have heard it from others.

At least most lower-level infrastructure pieces should accept only their documented inputs, and loudly diagnose and reject anything else.

As a software engineer, you cover this with test cases: not just happy input test cases but test cases which verify that bad inputs are handled appropriately.

In my job, I write tests which validate that expected assertions go off in C API's. The assert framework can be reprogrammed to execute a longjmp, or a successful process termination: two different ways available to the test case writer to have the code continue after a failed assertion and report a successful test case (assertion was expected).

For anything that is multiply implemented and has many dependencies, the robustness principle is deadly in the long run.
I'm just disputing the notion that only experts are right. It's not about being pro-mask or anti-mask or pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine
Firefox has a built-in list of websites that need UA tweaks to work in Firefox. (In fact, Firefox's UA override feature was designed by ex-Opera engineers at Mozilla.) You can review the list (and toggle them) in Firefox's about:compat page.

A recent success story: Mozilla recently added a UA tweak to work around Slack's Chrome-only check for video calls. Slack engineers reached out to Mozilla and, just a few days later, Slack removed their Chrome check and now support video calls in Firefox without a UA tweak. :)
> partially voided, with the reversal being worth slightly more than $70 million due to Bitcoin volatility. This didn’t happen an hour later; it happened in 2022. How?

> The answer is nowhere in the Bitcoin whitepaper or any codebase. A full recounting of it is outside the scope of this anecdote, but it rhymes with “If you and the United States federal government disagree whether a transaction is final, you are wrong.”

Following the link in that quote, that didn't happen because Bitcoin wasn't final after all, just because the government "disagreed." It happened because the government found the criminals' private keys, and made a new transaction.

Back to the first article, it continues with this:

> That is true for notorious Bitcoin thefts, but also true for wire transfers

I'm wondering how it is then that theft by wire fraud is a serious problem these days.
Canada publishers want Google, Meta forced to pay for news ‘by the end of June’
From the beginning of TFA:

> An extreme example which proves the point: the cryptocurrency enthusiast community largely believes that code is law, “not your keys, not your coins”, etc. Many crypto enthusiasts would say that the Bitcoin protocol does not prohibit reversing transactions but provides a security guarantee which suggests that the likelihood of a reversal after an hour is infinitesimal.

> And yet: someone sent $70 million worth of Bitcoin in 2016, and that transaction was partially voided, with the reversal being worth slightly more than $70 million due to Bitcoin volatility. This didn’t happen an hour later; it happened in 2022. How?

> The answer is nowhere in the Bitcoin whitepaper or any codebase. A full recounting of it is outside the scope of this anecdote, but it rhymes with “If you and the United States federal government disagree whether a transaction is final, you are wrong.” That is true for notorious Bitcoin thefts, but also true for wire transfers, conveyances of real estate, credit card payments, and graverobbing. “Possession is nine-tenths of the law,” so the saying goes, but the state can conjure as many tenths as required if it is motivated to.
Event loop.
Shallow, and mean hot takes are also not in short supply (not implying that about your response btw). I think that HN has an admirable goal related to this as part of its guidelines:

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

But I feel that it often isn't lived up to. I feel like I've seen a lot of criticisms here that add nothing of value. And even among the ones that do, they are often needlessly provocative. I shake my head every time I see a "I completely disagree" here. I mean sure, that's a fair thing to say, but I doubt it's true nearly as often as it's said. I think more often than not it's an ego-driven response. And that's just one example of what I perceive as a bit of a common, negative tone here.

But I'm not just jumping on the hating on HN bandwagon either. No place is going to be perfect. I find a lot of value here. There are some really thoughtful comments. Even some of the rude ones are sometimes informative. I'm not aware of a better community and I'm not sure if it's possible for this one to be better. It is what it is, as they say.
You and me both: I’ve had the exact same thoughts. I did buy a Sony device (NW-A45), and it’s not quite what I want. It frequently goes into a very slow “creating database” mode when it decides to reindex the SD card. That gets in the way of wanting to quickly add a song or two since I know such changes will induce the long database rebuild.

Not a fan of the proprietary connector either. I misplaced it once and had to order another one. All my other devices use standard cables, of which I have a bunch of each.

If the Sony device was updated to use a standard connector, and the software was given some attention with respect to efficiency and customizable navigation, I’d be pretty happy.

I totally agree on the Android/smartphone OS front. I do NOT want a device that does apps of any form: I just want it to do one thing and do it well.
I wouldn't split the key because as another comment noted, you don't need all the pieces to brute-force the rest. Rather I would have several "keys" that when you XOR them all together, you get the real key. That way, any piece is useless without all the rest.

Unless, this is what you meant by "split" in which case I agree.
>It may not always guarantee good results but a non-violent way of changing government is preferable to a violent one.

I think it's because we've had good times throughout most of US history. Things haven't gotten bad enough for a revolt. Also US history is basically a minuscule fraction of Chinas' history.

> Perhaps I'm under-estimating how computationally heavy search is.

It's because they aren't rolling their own search, they pay Google and Bing to do the search for them (via the Google and Bing Search API's which are charged), mix in a few results from their own crawler, and then reorder the results.

So they will always have a higher cost base than both Bing and Google, because they are paying for 3 different search indexes (including their own), plus Bing and Google's margins on the API, plus their own infra costs.

(Now if this is a sustainable model or not is another question...)
I know it seems moronic, but I think it might actually make sense from the advertisers point of view. Some percentage of people who buy a thing are going to return it and buy something similar in the next week. That percentage is almost certainly large compared to the percentage of the overall population who's going to buy that thing in the next week, and it seems plausible to me it's even large compared to the number of people who have been browsing for the thing but haven't bought yet. (Think of it as the ratio of people just browsing vs ready to buy.)
Never heard of sxiv, but it is confusing, haha. I just typed "never heard of svix" when trying to type it. :P

Do you think my comment was toxic?

Edit: if so, is there any edit you would suggest that I could explain my disagreement without being toxic?
True. There are limited resources.

For example, https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article24376685... documents the purchase for a 90,000 resident city in NC of Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles for $500,000.00 each.

I posted about this yesterday; as time has gone on, I've found myself wanting a separate camera and music player from my phone. The best music player I've ever used is the iPod classic (a couple Nano models were okay too), it was focused, lightweight, and not distracting.

Would love for someone to build a modern iPod mini/nano with just 8 or 16 GB of memory for under $100, but I'm guessing the click wheel is patented?

I don't understand. If you need to detect a >99 version, then yes, you'll need to update your code, but you'll need to do that anyway, to add your >99 logic in the first place. If you don't need to detect that, then no changes are needed, and as a bonus no poorly-coded sites will break.

GP comment already explicitly addressed this:

> Then, separately, you can manually add people you know personally to your "network". You trust them, so anything they trust is also something you might be able to trust.

It doesn't matter how many sockpuppet accounts a marketing company creates if you don't click the "trust" button on any of them, and if the system is designed so that your local trust network only consists of what you trust directly and (weighted) transitively.
Good point.

Reddit is great for a specialized user. Not only is there shilling, but you also find hyper-specialized people who go too deep.
China is roughly 1/5 of the world's population, that means that it has roughly 1/5 of the world's smart people ... for a bunch of political/historical reasons up until this generation they haven't had the same chance to shine that others have, this generation have been catching up and taking their place in the world - the language barrier has made a lot of tech transfer one way, the recent western protectionism is only making this worse, it wont stop smart people doing smart things.

I think that the US has been biting itself in the ass for a while now. Used to be it was the magnet for tech, but regressive immigration policy over the past generation has made it far harder for smart people to move there, meanwhile the internet has made actual geographical location less important (I moved to the US 40 years ago, and left 20 years later).

I do think that China is a big part of the future, the world is a safer place if we trade rather than play at childish brinkmanship. The best thing we can do in the world is to grow large middle classes everywhere who have too much to lose b y going to war
