> So if you can’t “buy your way in” to these banks, what are the criteria?

First you will need to be "introduced" to the bank by an existing customer. We're not talking about a referral link here, we're saying who introduces you is just as important as who is being introduced (i.e. long-standing customer vouching for an introduction gets more weight than a newbie trying to get a mate in).

Second, if the introduction is acceptable, then you will be invited to a meeting with one or more members of the bank's senior management to determine if you are a good fit (and no, "good fit" does not equal a commercial fit about determining how much they can sell you, its a "good fit" as in determining that you have your head screwed on and won't cause the bank problems).

You might think this is excessive, but at the most exclusive bank the management have genuine skin in the game (e.g. bank is purposely setup as unlimited liability legal structure, so if management were to ever fuck up, they really would FUCK UP because they have no corporate veil to hide behind).

It also means that dodgy overseas money and the nouveau riche can't buy their way in and start causing problems. A truly exclusive bank values quality of client over quantity of clients.

This is correct. Everyone should support anti-SLAPP laws. These make such frivolous lawsuits very expensive if they do infringe on clearly-protected speech.

There’s always a corporation that can potentially silence you. Even if you managed to build your own entire network from scratch, on which to host this ‘town square’, you could be shut down by banks or power companies refusing to do business with you.

Meanwhile, the size of mob needed to get something/someone deplatformed seems to be getting smaller as deplatforming tactics continue to be optimized.

Indian Cinema and esp. Telugu Cinema has its own style of story telling, remember this is make believe. I find it refreshing as a Telugu speaking American that they are staying true to their traditions.

The Bombay production houses have gone Hollywood-lite making movies for affluent westernized Indian class which as it turns out is not profitable. I am for artsy Indian movies but at the end of the day, this is commercial undertaking and the film crew and its producers should make money out of it.

> In graphs yes, but we're talking about self-referential structure here, and there you don't face this risk: the self-reference should always be a weak reference (the struct should be dropped when and only when the external references are gone, the internal ones don't count).

Graphs are a common example of a self-referential structure.

In C, people tend to reimplement data structures in their project because the dependency management story is quite dated, but it's not something anyone else does in other languages: most of the time you just import the standard library's data structure (or someone else's) and call it a day.

On the several occasions I've look for crates that do what I need. They either don't exist, or I read through the code and they're poorly written and make lots of gratuitous copies of data and are very inefficient. You also have people using crates.io for their blog, literally.

Then why doesn't this sort of thing happen with other communities which are also highly online? It doesn't matter if you try to do gate keeping to say "oh those redditors" or "oh those guys on hackernews" aren't the REAL Rust community, the end result was a real package being really deleted from the real Rust community.

The problem with Fargate is the cold startup time and lack of support for GPUs. It's also quite new and there's all sorts of issues with it but hopefully will get resolved.

I think ECS is a better fit if you require GPU or you can do with not scaling to zero. Obviously once Fargate catches up and polishes its kinks it would stand on its own but given the way Cognito is, I have very little faith that things will improve quickly (theres an open ticket in cognito that is over 3 years old).
>I think what you mean is that people are calling for internet platforms to kick out certain groups. This is in no way a call against freedom of speech.

Right, that would be freedom of the press.

>Did people complain that newspapers wouldn't allow the KKK to print opinion essays whenever they wanted? Did they get upset when a convention hall wouldn't let certain groups rent out their space?

Did people demand that typewriters and printers be beyond the reach of the badly opinionated? Did people demand the Post Office refuse to mail their newsletters? Did people demand that they should be denied phone service or that spammers should be allowed to tie up their lines to prevent them receiving calls?
Deferring rendering of the images seems like an easy enough thing to do if your alternative is infinite scrolling. Pre-load the text and layout but leave the images and video until they're close to the viewport.
Yes!

One real life example: One need to resolve tech debts before merging the PR.

Else later on, 1 minute NOT resolving tech debt would cause hours of working hour to clean, refactor and working on new feature.

OK, how to pay the tech debts? Relax your sprint and treat output as out of tech debt , not only the result.
> You fight bad ideas with better ideas.

This does not in fact work for hate. If you think you can prove otherwise, give it a go. But take a look at the rise of bad ideas over the last 30 years. Take a look at how dis- and mis-information have caused so much harm.

> That's a false choice.

No, it's not. Because people who are subject to sufficient online hate will leave the platform or never sign up. And it doesn't have to be directed at them personally; people in targeted groups observe what happens to other people in those groups and leave or self-sensor.

That should be obvious from a little bit of thinking, but it's also what Twitter internal research shows very clearly. (I worked in Twitter's anti-abuse engineering. And previously worked on bianca.com, the web's first big anything-goes chat space.)
Should WE worry? No. Should the military worry? Yes. It's their job to worry.

The government recently released a report on UAP. Here's what the report concluded about certain unexplained observations:

- These are real objects (not some weather phenomena or camera effect)

- They have been observed behaving in a way that exceeds our known physics (acceleration, no means of propulsion, multi-modal transport (going from air to water))

- They are not Russian or Chinese tech

- They appear intelligently controlled

- They come and go from our militarily controlled airspace at will

- We don't know what they are.

The only conclusion I can draw from this data is aliens.
How does this compare with Umbrel (https://umbrel.com/) which appears to be a similar project?
With you on this one.

I started noticing thoughts that were so negative/depressive that I was actually aware of how irrational it was. For example things are actually quite good but my mind is in the dumps. So called Automatic Negative Thoughts (ants).

Since then been trying to reprogram my brain. Force those thoughts out of my head. Start singing randomly. It’s hard and I’m not always successful but I’ve definitely noticed a big improvement overall.

Hopefully this helps you too!

> What was the last time an American citizen seriously worried about being invaded by a foreign power or attacked by a nation state? It just doesn't even occur to the average citizen that there are about a million people working to ensure Americans don't even have to think about not being attacked by foreign power.

Post 9/11, when American citizens rights were trampled in the name of "national seccuirty?

It is crazy you post what you did, stating you are a "senior DoD technology leader' and "know how it works".

So.. the "missile gap", real or imagined? If imagined, what was the purpose of allowing the US citizens to believe it was real?

U2 spy planes told the truth, US presidents did not.
You're talking the US first amendment and how freedom of speech relates to governments, but that's only a limited subset of the general concept of free speech. Obviously discussions around platforms involve more complexity, but for example if AT&T started refusing to send my texts based on what kinds of ideas I was arguing for then this is a serious attempt to limit speech and discussion which is morally incorrect, regardless of legalities.
There are two factors at play when we talk about free speech.

1. The legal protections which are currently very strong in the US
2. The culture of free speech

As much as we like to think of law as impartial, the legal regime is downstream of, and lags the cultural milieu. If we degrade free speech culture then the legal protections become weaker after a couple of decades.

You can see this at FIRE which successfully overturned college speech codes in the nineties and aughts. The return of new forms of speech codes, and new attempts at bad laws attempting to stifle protected speech (Florida's STOP WOKE act). They'll get overturned for now, but we may have seen the high point of legal protections for speech as younger legal theorists who don't prize free speech progress in their careers. [1]

> You’re not entitled to buy everything that exists.

Interesting how do you came to the conclusion, that they cannot afford it. It's possible to have money and still believe that something has poor value for its cost.

I would argue that is true for the iPhone, given for eg Pixel or other flagships are easy to buy at half of the cost of the iPhone.
I think this is the workflow most people should be moving to: immutable development.

If your dev environment's state mutates and deviates from the rest of a team's (or away from production), the deviation introduces bugs. This tool lets you "start fresh" with the correct environment every time, but (I imagine) also lets you update that shared environment by pushing a new container.

In this way you ensure everybody is developing off exactly the same thing, and can easily update that shared environment, but nobody clobbers anybody else's WIP, and you can test new changes in your own container, even persisting your own configuration using persistent volumes.

Sadly, this does not support port forwarding, which is the final feature necessary to do remote development (run your web app remotely, see it in your browser locally).
In 2022, most speech happens on the internet, so if that's outside the ever shrinking "free speech zone", free speech is practically dying.

Also, it's easy to be smug about this when it's only nazis and other despicables from "the other side" being silenced. But once these tools exist, whoever is in power will gleefully use them against those who cheered when they were being "deplatformed".
If you're going through all the trouble of conducting a literature review on a given topic (ie. finding all the relevant studies and evaluating their methodology/results), then can you really call that as "scientific method and practice"? It seems much more accurate to say that you're trusting your ability to correctly evaluate studies.
Docker is the de-facto standard in the community now (and, to a lesser extent, alternatives like LXC or podman). The daemon should be run rootless if possible, or the containers rootless if not.

You can still use VMs, and some use that as an additional layer of isolation because they're virtualizing anyways (performance overhead is really negligible).

I've been self-hosting on my home server for at least 5 years now, and I think I've only seen two or three vulnerabilities across all the services I know about, none of which were ever really exploitable.
That sounds amazing sign me up.
I want to like Google Cloud but so many horror stories I've read from people having their production environment shut down and locked out of their accounts because the over zealous fraud detection found an issue or non-chalant account managers.

Not sure why you would need 60 minutes for HTTP invoked functions, that alone should be a signal to offload it to another queue or asynchronous process.

You might be romanticizing the situation. Before Jelly Bean, it was still completely a Wild West. If anything, custom skins from manufacturers were even worse back then.
How do you check what satellites you can see?
I have not heard any group calling for free speech to be blocked. Who is calling for people to be arrested for what they say? Or to be blocked from being able to say it out loud?

I think you'll find a significant portion of the HN userbase supports the idea of the police arresting people for saying racist things on the internet. Mostly Europeans who live in places where that's already the law, but Americans as well.

Unfortunately even in the US the people defending your right to be a big meanie are also the same ones who want the police to arrest teachers for telling kids that transgenderism and systemic racism exist. Those of us who think freedom of speech applies even to people and opinions we despise are a shrinking minority.
> tape broke and got tangled up and likely ruined

I'm far from a beard-and-suspenders type who got to use those systems when they were current, but my understanding is that When a tape tangles it doesn't affect the magnetic data stored on the tape: only a sufficiently powerful magnet can do that - even if it got tangled-up inside the tape machine one would hope the machine was designed to not energize the erase or write heads unless the tape was known to be moving smoothly through the tape transport.
Oh, it's not? When they opened the video with the Unreal Engine logo, I thought it was.
True. Norms are never linear since they cannot be negative.
Some favorite math books

Intro to Smooth Manifolds, Lee -- sweeping intro to geometry with minimal prereqs, great at balancing the nitty gritty details with conveying intuition

A Course In Arithmetic, Serre -- classically terse and elegant intro to algebraic and analytic number theory. Goes from quadratic forms to Dirichlet's theorem to modular forms in a mere 100 pgs!

Princeton Lectures in Analysis, Stein & Shakarchi -- 4 books covering much of classical/modern analysis, they really shine in their discussion of applications

The large scale structure of space-time, Hawking & Ellis -- The most mathematically satisfying treatment of general relativity I've found. High points include proof of singularity theorems!

Spin Geometry, Lawson & Michelson -- Deep dive into the enigmatic "spin groups" and their applications in geometry. Also the only good (book) reference I could find on the index theorem
Free speech, like majoritarian American democracy, is relatively young - less than 60 years old, much younger than what American mythos tells us.

I do not think attempts to restrict speech are very new.
>I'm fine with a world with more than the absolute minimum number of mentally ill people. Put another way, there are things that are not worth sacrificing in order to have fewer mentally ill people.

Cool, that's your opinion. It has been tried. Your opinion creates the tweet I linked as well as this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB6gwOBClwE. I can post many more videos like these as there are plenty.

My opinion is that your principles are completely idiotic and they're not worth sacrificing other people's well being for. You disagree, that's fine. But you're obviously and verifiably wrong based on the state of reality and anyone with two eyes and a brain can see it.
> the most serious threat to free speech in the US right now is cancel culture

Surely you cannot be serious?
As an aside, cash app is pretty different to Revolut. The former is a payments platform and the latter is a bank.

> Just spend a week on tvtropes.org and you'll instantly become a better writer I think.

Maybe, but from my experience I find the more time I spend on browsing through tvtropes in a certain week, the more I overthink my writing and get absolutely fuck all done.

Don't get me wrong, it's worthwhile to understand tropes, but its not going to make you a better writer instantly. And repeated exposure to an attention-sucking site like tv-tropes doesn't help. It'll maybe make you a slower more methodical writer, but that's not necessarily a good thing. You can always fix quite a bit in editing.
Reliance on servers controlled entirely by the developer is the biggest enemy of video game conservation by far.

Digital games can be pirated. DRM that runs on the client can be fooled or bypassed with enough effort. Storage is becoming cheaper as time goes by. Time is generally not critical for any of these.

Unlike all of these things, reliance on servers has no real solution and is a guaranteed ticking timebomb. Many games released today (manly "live service" games) have no offline mode and simply cannot fully function offline even if they're reverse-engineered and modified to do so, because a significant part of the game logic code and data is simply not present on the client. Often the only real hope is attempting to reverse-engineer the server logic and capture relevant data via packet sniffing so custom server software can be developed that emulates the behavior of the official servers accurately enough to allow the game to be played, but games nowadays are becoming so complex and game logic is becoming so intertwined with the servers that this is simply not a feasible task unless you have direct access to the server data somehow.

Unfortunately, this is a problem that has largely not manifested yet, so most people don't yet realize it's a problem. Live service games only started becoming the norm in the last decade, and the vast majority of the popular ones are still in operation. In a decade or two, most live service games people love today will no longer be playable due to the servers being shut down, and developers have no financial incentive to allow them to be playable after that. Will a solution be found before then? Probably not. I'm not looking forward to it.
In the 2011 game Hard Reset there are smart kiosks shouting "Special discount for smart people" when you go near them. Always made me smile because I've seen people fall for this sort of thing in real life
