> When cable and Internet are available to disseminate a broad range of viewpoints, it's no longer necessary for the FCC to be involved in regulating speech.

This opinion is more modern than the legacy "ill listen to any news even if it offends me"

FCC Fairness in boardcasting was not regulating speech by the way, it is closer to defining guidelines for the meaning of libel in the context of authoritative news broadcast on airwaves that at the time were federally regulated.
Arguably every election that brings in a new government is a reboot. A revolution is more like wiping the drive and installing a new OS.

This story makes me smile.

Back in the late-2000's, I worked at CNN on a 12-month contract. While there, I built a predecessor to the current "Breaking News" website banner.

At least at the time, Turner did not allow contractors to extend beyond the 12-month mark. So when my contract came up, they offered to convert me over to perm. I declined, because my interests lay more on the backend side of the tech stack, and my role there had been far more frontend-focused than I wanted for the long term.

Fast-forward 10 to 15 years, and I've had a lot of experiences that I'm very proud of. I've built concurrent systems that scaled to impressive levels of data. I've built event busses that moved hundreds of millions of dollars worth of financial transactions per year. Etc.

STILL, "my son built the Breaking News banner on cnn.com!" is the thing that my mom tells her friends. It's the only thing that my wife ever understood about what I do for a living.

There is such power in the visual, and in the consumer-side. In a very real sense, this silly thing was the crowning achievement of my career... and it was about two days of work and a few hundred lines of HTML and jQuery.

"s a startup, don't build an incremental product that can easily be scooped by a competitor" unless that's the goal (and sometimes it is).
For i18n in my own projects, I typically use tools like gettext and involves lots of volunteers to do the translations. I might try out these neural machine translation tools to see how they fare. I also wonder if these machine translation tools are trained on a corpus of gettext datasets.
Pretty much exactly that. The Government can (and does) request a Privy Council meeting, which issues various kinds of Orders in the name of the Queen. The Queen's Speech is another (less instrumental) way of government using the root account directly.

(Or, I suppose, you could `$ sudo su`and then `# instantiate_republic` to permanently promote the usual administrator account to root. Still not clear it's wise to directly govern from account 0, though).
Not sure if this is bigger than the mycelium found in the the NW US, but still - crazy!
Opendoor New Products Team | Product Engineer | Anywhere in US | REMOTE / SF / NYC | Full-time

Opendoor’s mission is to empower everyone with the freedom to move. We believe the traditional real estate process is broken and our goal is simple: build a digital, end-to-end customer experience that makes buying and selling a home simple, certain and fast.

We are a “startup within a startup.” A small, cross-functional team working on one of Opendoor’s next plays. I helped create this team when my previous YC startup was acquihired by Openhood.

For the right candidate, this role should feel like the best of all worlds: the funding, supportive infrastructure and gravitas of a public company; with a full-stack, scrappy team building from scratch, immersing in customer needs, and iterating fast.

Our team is unique within Opendoor, and also for the technology industry more generally. We have c-level executive sponsorship to move fast and independently, and to build from first principles. Our team has experience building from “0 to 1” at Opendoor, Square, Dropbox, Uber, and Y Combinator-backed startups.

I get my news from Glenn Greenwald, Chris Hedges, Kim Iversen, Jimmy Dore, Max Blumenthal, Matt Tiabbi, Katie Halper, Viva Frei, Louis Rossmann, Alexander Mercouris, among others.

That doesn't mean I believe or agree with everything they say, they all have blind spots and biases. But the quality of the news from these sources makes all corporate news look like complete garbage, because it is. I would be shocked if there's anything any corporate news network could do that make make me trust them for one second. Surprisingly, the closest thing to mainstream news coverage worth its salt that I've seen in a very long time is from Buzzfeed News, and on some issues, especially war-related, Tucker Carlson.

I am positive that I will live the rest of my life talking to a majority of people primarily informed by corporate news networks (and their fake-populist analogues like reddit) whose raison d'etre is to prop up the same corrupt donors and establishment organizations that have hijacked our government and economy.
Activists will do anything they can to block progress. Surfrider and other orgs blocked San Luis Obispo County from putting a pipeline in between the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant desal facility and a deep well in Nipomo — the idea was to replenish the groundwater to prevent seawater incursion.

The grown-up Jeff Spicolis went "no way, dude" and screwed everyone. If the seawater continues to infiltrate we'll lose valuable ag real estate, but that hardly matters to them. See also: Chumash and their undersea "heritage sites" (which are often artifacts that fell out of capsized fishing boats, not actually places where people lived). The Chumash literally teamed up with commercial fishermen to stop a renewable energy project offshore of Vandenberg. Madness.

That's might have been true of the more "enlightened" Indian engineers who immigrated to Silicon Valley in the 80s and 90s. There were also ambitious Indians who liked the old ways but lacked the opportunity to engage in such discrimination until they adapted or the opportunity eventually arose.

Either way, as more and more of a certain ethnicity/race enter a country for the purposes of bettering their financial prospects, many of these immigrants reinvent the social dynamics of their origin country. This is how enclaves are created. And while many of the "enlightened" Indians have left behind explicit caste discrimination, they didn't leave other practices behind either ( e.g. parental authoritarianism, arranged marriages, etc.).

A different geography doesn't necessarily produce a different worldview. Every immigrant arrives with his own family values, religious dogmas (or lack thereof), and modes of thought that lead to these aforementioned conflicts.

The Strange and Too-Familiar Tale of Uncle Suitcase [video]
I am used to Cuba, Venezuela, Kerala as examples of places where far-left ideologies can be found. CNN has a materialist capitalist free-market POV as far as I can tell but since it became the missing child network with Nancy Grace I stopped ever watching it because its annoying, not because its far left.
One time I was on the Lifecycle at the gym and CNN was playing on the big TV. So I was a captive audience for 20 minutes.

This was a Monday. That coming Thursday, James Comey was testifying before Congress about something or other.

The entire 20 minutes they talked about Comey's upcoming testimony and what he might say.

Something that was going to happen in 3 days. And that was the most important news item right then?

From the article, apparently, they're (and "we're" if Joe Biden gets his way) paying for water parks:

> in addition to climbing walls and gourmet dining facilities, many campuses have developed water parks: “The New York Times [in 2014] reported [that] Auburn has developed a $52 million water park, including a 45-student paw-print-shaped hot tub and a 20-foot wet climbing wall … Auburn raised its student activity fee from $7.50 to $200 to fund its water park.” The University of Missouri “has a lazy river, waterfall, indoor beach club, and a grotto modeled after the one at the Playboy Mansion. Not to be outdone, Missouri State has put in a waterpark complete with zipline and lazy river, but insists on calling the lazy river a ‘current river’ because ‘Missouri State students are not lazy.’” So, the answer to “What else are students paying for?” includes college campuses as vacation destinations.
IMO its good to consider what is personally relevant to you. For example if you are into local news, maybe instead of following the local paper you read city departmental press releases and other information they put out to the public instead. The stuff the journalist would be reading themselves when they are writing out the story on that stuff. A lot of this public info stuff can be followed via rss or email newsletters too.
Something like that. And with the Governor General as the VM root.
Ran the basic initial implementation on my Mac Studio and was pleasantly surprised to see

Not a valid comparison between the two machines because I don't know what the original machine is, but MacOS rarely comes out shining in this sort of comparison, and the simplistic approach here giving 8 GB/s rather than the author's 3.5 GB/s was better than I'd expected, even given the machine I'm using.

It depends. In reality, much easier to work with 1k true fans model.

Exceptions are, when your expensive product is in high demand, but not scaled well, so you HAVE to limit number of clients, because you just cannot make more sales.

What this could be? One example I hear from CG community - CG Grooming Artist - at the moment in high demand and highly paid, and many firms accept freelancers, but not all CG firms need it.

I for one love dark mode

Is one on the "radical left" if they think LGBTQ people should be able to get married, that the non-religious / non-Christians should have equal rights? This is a serious question, not a troll. I ask it because the "conservative" party in the US explicitly is against such things in their platform documents.

It's rather strange to me that it is so hard for the term "radical left" to be defined in any sort of objective way, often it seems no definition is available at all which makes discussions about the topics hard to have.
I agree with this sentiment, I've switched back and forth for months/years at a time based on what my body required ...

As a result, I don't ever feel guilt anymore about impulsive decisions. When the opportunity arises to experience something new, I'll take it.
> The wheelchair suppliers that have contracts with public and private health insurance plans restrict access to parts, tools, and service manuals. [..] Wheelchair suppliers make most of their money by selling the wheelchair and tend to lose money on repairs. So there is little incentive to hire more technicians or pay for training.

They don't want to do the repairs themselves, yet they do their best to prevent anyone else from doing them too.
I think this is confusion based on “local”.

There’s geographical locality e.g. apps like ChatRadar[0] that show information from nearby.

And then there’s data-locality e.g. is the data stored on your device or does it all ultimately live on a server somewhere that’s the authoritative source of truth.

Ask HN: How Do Chiropractors Work?
I've visited probably a dozen chiropractors. Many of them have helped me a lot; only a couple seemed to be trying to scam me.

I had a discussion with my current chiropractor about "out of place" joints/bones and whether or not they will heal without chiropractic intervention. I'm concerned about this because I may be moving to a country without chiropractors.

He avoided answering, at most stating that chiropractic care "accelerates the healing process". He wouldn't tell me straight out that my body will re-align on its own over time.

I know there are people out there who believe chiropractors are a scam in general, but I've experienced benefits from them first hand for a couple of decades now and I'm convinced a "good" one is helpful. What I still don't know after all this time is whether the body will realign itself (for lack of a better work, as I'm a layman) on its own.

Any expanded information about how chiropractic care works would be appreciated, especially related to my concern above.
This is a great analogy. I'd like to unnecessarily add that the store then tells us that potato chips are from potatoes, which is a vegetable and therefore healthy. It's important to stay informed! (with our product). Democracy dies in darkness! (buy our product to prevent democracy from dying?!).

How are users that do this not getting absolutely blasted with spam? I stopped using catch-alls years ago when mail servers were getting inundated with (random letters & numbers @ mydomain) types of emails. Are they added them to an allow list in Postfix or something similar?
I ditched everything in 2018 or so, the only one I retain is LinkedIn to check on job markets, but it remains hibernated except for when I check once a year (no connections etc).

Otherwise I still get to enjoy limited exposure (Instagram, Twitter et al as friends still share stuff via other methods like IRC etc) via the various front-ends that exist now..

You'd be surprised how little it really matters - people you actually know and/or care about in real life will generally be happy to use other more direct contact methods, if not maybe they don't consider you worth talking to anyway (the Facebook syndrome, "friends" with people you never interact with).

You can always use IM like telegram etc via other means such as matrix bridges, which is how I keep in touch with family as they aren't quite adept enough to handle a platform that has serious bugs and generally isn't that user friendly (matrix, element).

Really though it all depends on how dependant on social media you are for communication and content, it's certainly difficult if you consume a lot, but after a while you'll probably realise it's a waste of time anyway and spend that wasted time doing something productive or beneficial for yourself.
I think a big problem you'll hit here is that a large number of gamers are generalists - we enjoy playing a variety of games and have a variety of skills accumulated from that experience. That means that the FPS portions of the game are either going to match our challenge level and discourage factory builder specialists or it's going to be extremely underwhelming for FPS players. Factory builder specialists - those folks who absolutely adore DSP and Factorio but who, when dealing with the threats in Factorio, leverage creeping turret walls and artillery to clear the creep and who try and avoid fighting on foot outside of the very earliest game stages.

Building multi-genre games is a really hard problem.

Why do we still have the layout of both group chats and community boards?
Group chats like Facebook messenger and community boards like Facebook groups and Reddit seems to almost converge towards the same thing, feature wise. For instance Facebook groups does add messages continuously as they are written. Is there any analysis of this phenomenon out there? Why are we still having both layouts?
This is great news (no pun intended), but I have to cynically wonder if it's too late. It feels like TV in general has already fully lost younger generations. Other than watching live sports, nobody I know watches cable/broadcast TV. They stream shows/movies from Netflix, and get their news from the internet.
Thanks for your comment and reply! Very valid points.

> what if someone else submits a solution for the ticket I'm in the middle of?

You're right, the bounty should display the number of people working on it and when they started. That should be a feature - thanks!

> What if my solution is valid, but not accepted?

Very valid point again. I'd say it depends on the specification. When we did it https://algora.io/algora/challenge/bounties/1 we specified that we will reward the best submissions and not all of them. And we did only reward 3/5 PRs. Another early user chose to award all submissions. As long as it's specified and clear, people can decide accordingly.

The past few months a recent graduate has been contributing to Algora before starting her job at Snap this summer, and we never actually spoke! Of course, there's plenty of discussion in issue & PR comment threads. The same goes for most open source software contributors around the world. But I see where you're coming from! It might come down to sufficient documentation.
Tell HN: Copper CRM will Charge for 12 months if you Cancel on first day
I signed up for Copper CRM as I was thinking that I was getting a good deal for their 20% lifetime discount to sign up on May 01 2022. I signed up and realized that this was not the product for me. And I cancelled the service, but these people refused to stop charging and as I just saw my credit card statement, was charged for June as well.

I understand that it was my fault completely that I should have used their app for the trial version first before signing up, but having to penalize a client for 12 months and enforce their obligation, because of a 1 day use is in my opinion not a way to treat a customer.

In my opinion, what seemed fair and also as I requested them, was to charge me for a full month of May for not checking out the software first.

Buyer beware!
This case sounds like the definition of easy!
Once the startup takes investor funding, it’s irrelevant what those inside the startup want.

That being said, we all go to work to exchange labor for money. It’s naive for employees to see working for any for profit company as anything more than just a financial transaction.

Investors know that the chances of a startup to go public and then be profitable enough to have long term stock gains is infinitesimally small.

Can you name one startup that has been really successful - ie throwing off crazy profits and margins since Facebook?

Investors aren’t interested in “lifestyle businesses”.
Related, I've often thought a resume site like LinkedIn should include a "What does your mom tell her friends that you do?" section. :-)
