Iran is geographically two countries away from Israel, the country that clandestinely fomented similar riots/insurrections in 10+ other countries that border Israel during the Arab Spring. Furthermore, Israel has been greatly outspoken in its hatred of Iran and Iran's nuclear program, going so far as to deploy the most sophisticated cyberattack in history[1]. It would hardly be a conspiracy theory to pin this on Israel rather than women suddenly waking up and deciding to riot after thousands of years of oppression.

A good thought experiment here would be: If you were magically assured that the other people would be thrilled to be around you, find all your jokes funny, etc (fill in your own fantasies), would you still want to be alone?

That distinguishes between "I truly want to be alone" and "I want to be alone because I am not the person I wish I were".
There was an old Dilbert comic where Dilbert gets permission to work from home and he asks if he has to work a full 8 hours, or can he just work as much as he does at the office once with all it's distractions
The BTC core team was highly concerned with the legality of the network due to previous failed currency's (eCash, B-money, Bit Gold, and Hashcash) that ended up driving certain decisions in architecture.

The original btc had a networked pokergame along with the wallet, but was taken out for a couple of reasons, including regulatory issues.

I'm not saying parent is right, or wrong but to dismiss it and to speak for the core team out of hand is folly.
All government mandates were implemented using executive agency rules not laws. Thus far we have treated agency rules as acceptable despite being essentially laws that can be created by the executive.

With executive agencies the executive does not need to pass a law or even ask permission to implement any number of rights violating policies.

So you think the people shooting 4K video and taking RAW pictures are posting them to Instagram?

The lowest common denominator is the same reason that Bluetooth outside of the Apple ecosystem is such a shit show.

Android has supported its own proprietary video over micro USB for ages before USB C became more ubiquitous. What are the chances that Android manufactures won’t cheap out and not ship with cables that can support video over USB?
Then maybe Firefox OS and Ubuntu Touch would still be around as FOSS mobile OS.
Assessment of what constitutes good reasoning is somewhat dependent on having a lot of prerequisite knowledge. It’s hard, because I think public debate is healthy generally, and I think that some valid discussion was quashed. At the same time, there were loonies spouting dangerous nonsense that did have tangible impacts.

What are the ways in which you think they tried to "destroy his reputation"? By banning him and accusing him of making sockpuppets, or something else? Or by failing to delete posts by individuals who made other accusations? Links would be helpful if it's something public.

Edit: I now see your comment in another thread about Quora and Thailand. I was looking at the "threads" link before, so didn't see those. Even if these are true (I don't know about these, but I confess I'm doubtful without proof), I suspect that Dan (the moderator of HN, and not so-far-as-I-know a bigwig on HN's investment side) wouldn't be the individual responsible for these.

Edit 2: You started with a suggestion that Michael should be unbanned (which seems like a reasonable position), and then moved to suggesting that bringing him back wasn't the point, and that HN's moderation team has committed sins for which they should never be forgiven. Presumably you have reasons to feel this way, but it seems like a bait-and-switch. It also leaves me wondering who you are, and what your actual motivations are. I'm feeling played, and think I'll bow out at this point.

Depression and anxiety are complicated because we still know so little about these conditions, as evidenced by the recent serotonin kerfuffle.

That means we are left to solve an urgent and life-altering problem with relatively artisanal techniques that center around our intuitive understanding of the world and of human psychology. This can take the form of therapy with a licensed professional (which is still an artisanal undertaking) or it can be the individual centering on what they know about themselves and their circumstances and 'tricking' their brain into being functional again, on the basis of the condition being hypothetically tied to our subconscious perception that things are going poorly.

I think you under-estimate the amount of power you have if something is really important.
"Neanderthals are depicted as hunched-over creatures who don’t seem to have the imagination to do anything besides stare uncomprehendingly at a rock"

I'm pretty sure the illustration the author is talking about depicts a neanderthal using one rock to chip another rock into a sharp implement – not puzzling over it.
You can, however, vaccinate against it.
You drastically underestimate power that those oppressive governments have in real world that some fancy decentralized solution would solve. They just take down the internet.

Here's the thing about Instagram: aside from posts by your actual real-life friends, everything you see is an ad. It's either a literal ad, or it's a popular user trying to sell you their t-shirts/newsletter/onlyfans. My wife likes to look at Instagram videos of cute kids and dogs, and whenever she shows me one the text at the bottom says something like "Our merch shop is open again!!!"
Only if it's not a highly contentious issue. Otherwise the bigger states just go "We control X amount of the American population/economy, and thus we are going to enforce our own law anyway"

Granted they would be in the wrong since this is clearly and unambiguously interstate commerce, but that hasn't stopped them before
Laws are not the only way that government can violate your rights.

If a random cop stops by your house and tells you to take down the sign on your lawn, the government has violated your rights.

The allegations in the article are of that sort, that government agents were giving direction to private companies on what speech they ought to permit on their platforms.
this just sounds like whataboutism and is skirting the issue. there is an enormous amount of censorship power within BigTech right now. given the “value” their core businesses provide, which is funded by manipulating your attention to get ad impressions, they should be broken up. why does facebook get to run whatsapp when it’s an ad business?
Supporting anecdote: I develop API integrations with third-party software used by our clients. Part of that means testing various APIs that may have quirks or be poorly documented, and sometimes inspecting the way our clients have chosen to arrange their own data in those APIs.

This can lead to a lot of little scripts like `list_thingies.sh` or `get_thingy_by_id.sh`, so that if something goes weird I can easily provide a small repro-script to another person with some confidence it'll be helpful even if their company has a very different tech-stack.

However all those unpredictably one-off experiments and tools for inspecting remote data shouldn't be part of whatever I check in for our production code, not least because they often have some credentials embedded in them. (Especially when the thing being tested is whether we're authorizing our client correctly.)

That said, we've been discussing how we might want to keep them in a separate "random exploratory shit just in case it's relevant again someday" repo.
Again, do your homework. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
There are several factors.

One is the government's violence. They shoot people with rifles, arrest them and kill them in the prison, do everything they can to scare people off.

Another is government's total control over communication. In 2009 they shut down the internet and SMS for a week. They did that again recently. When people cannot communicate, they can't organize.

Another is a lack of leadership. The government has successfully removed (killed or imprisoned) anyone people trusted. Intolerance plagues cooperation of opposition groups. Maybe that's because of the history of Iran, maybe part of that is fueled by the government (it maintains an army of supporters in cyber space, spreading misinformation, hatred, and everything else they can do to prevent a large scale movement, some times masquerading as opposition)
Today I disabled Facebook and Instagram. I also removed all shortlinks to various newssites. I want to avoid them as well. Including Reddit . The only thing I am allowed to read is hackernews. I find that one of the few good sources. Even for general news.
IIRC, tinyurl also rewrites URLs to some commerce sites to include their affiliate token.
I 100% agree with you. Once I learned about the "Trusted News Initiative" and the cooperation between Reuters, Pfizer, major media organs, and watched how Fauci previoulsy described the mRNA shots as 95%-100% effective, and later saw that number dwindle down to the low 50s, the Canadian trucker protests against absurd mandates and the shockingly draconian response from the _Canadian_ government, the despicable Australian and New Zealand policies in which citizens can not (and still can't) legally leave their country without getting mRNA shots, listening to Rachel Maddow and Joe Biden telling my poor, miserable father that "if you get the shot, you won't get sick and you won't spread it" which is probably one of the most destructive lies the ruling class perpetuated among fearful, isolated humans in my lifetime...

You seem to misunderstand: The government's position is not at question here. Their use of influence to suppress free speech is.
It's insane enough letting Big Corps lobby your legislature and even write language that eventually gets enshrined as law.

It's even more insane we allow the state-affiliated entities of our adversaries to do this.

Yeah, everyone complaining about zeroing taking time are ignoring that this should be a sane default, and for fucks sake if you need performance you shouldn't be constantly malloc'ing and free'ing on the heap in your critical path anyway. I guess that bias was built into me because I learned C from tutorials written in the 90s where they kept stressing heap is slow somehow because it was on a P3 I guess.
Is the research design capable of distinguishing from the opposite causation here; what if people who are more depressed are more likely to use facebook more?

This occurred to me because I more and more think of social media use in terms of addiction. For more typical addictive behavior with drugs, we are more likely to think people who are depressed are more likely to develop addictive relationship to alcohol (or other drugs), than we are to think using alcohol (or other drugs) too much will makes you depressed. Although I suppose it can be somewhat circular and complex.
An use case:

I work daily with short links, because we need to pass parameters in URL and, depending on the amount of parameters you use in your URL, it gets bigger quickly.

Then you have many stakeholders, with no IT background, using those links and if for some reason they use ctrl+c missing some part of that big URL, the access will be broken and then they will complain its not working.

Short links are better to avoid that problem.
If you're accusing others of acting in bad faith you need to substantiate that. With a proper argument. Otherwise you're not acting in good faith yourself.

You are right, this is not going to be trivial and you definitely need buy-in on a management level. Backstage is pretty malleable but the only way to get it to work in an organisation if there is only a single source of truth for things like your software catalog.

If there is a lot of legacy in your org, or if there is not enough buy-in then it will definitely be "yet another" system. There's a lot of functionality to unlock once you have a bunch of data in Backstage, though, so that could help tip the scale. The cloud costs dashboard that helps to show how much every service costs is a good demo :)

One benefit to Backstage's approach is that you don't necessarily need to change your processes and tooling to work with Backstage. It can help, but it's not a strict requirement. Other tooling in the space requires you to buy in to their specific workflows and so on whereas Backstage is a bit more agnostic.
Good stuff! Much appreciated.
There was no paperwork or anything to actually verify this claim, please note. The guy could've been lying.
I just got back from a trip were I was visiting a lot of older relatives and everyone of them now has a iPad that about 40-70% of their usage is FaceBook. In a battle between Apple and Meta I honestly wonder who would blink first but my money would be on Meta. Apple has already made their money and the primary FaceBook audience isn't rushing out to buy a new iPad every year, where as losing complete access to the Apple market would immediately have a huge impact on Meta's bottom line.
Curious, what type of database are you using for storing the language AI features? I would guess SQL as it's structured but could be wrong. Are you planning to support embeddings too, that will probably help to make the search semantic instead of keyword based.

I'm similarly racking my brain, and I came to the same finding.

755 permissions on the home directory lets others see what you have, which isn't great.

The good and bad news is, permissions on the files matter too.

SSH (private) keys for example categorically won't work outside of 600 permissions, meaning nobody else can read your private key - without escalating privileges

Now, if you go defining auth secrets in your shell profile (which is world-readable by default), probably something to reconsider.

Restricting umask is a good protection for this, for what it's worth. You can make it so that newly created files/directories are not accessible to the world
Earlier this year, I had a recruiter invite me to interview there, and I made an attempt at convincing myself with reasoning like:

- they're going to do their evil thing anyway, may as well show up and intentionally do it marginally worse

- they're going to pay someone large sums of money, may as well be me

- I increasingly believe this whole industry is net evil overall, and large sums of money mean I can leave it sooner

- also, it was their VR thing, and if it was a VR thing at literally any other company I would be excited about that because VR is at least conceptually cool

These are not particularly good arguments, and that's why I don't work there now. But statistically, I can imagine a few people who we would otherwise categorize as non-evil actually convince themselves with arguments like these, and when you're casting as wide a net as Facebook does, a few is all you need.
Well, that was the example this thread was talking about. You could change the topic and make what we were talking about unimportant, but that seems a bit churlish to phrase it that way : - )

It's basically 1 and 5. Plenty of places have 2, 3, 4 (despite what people on the West coast tell themselves), and I'm not even sure what 6 is supposed to mean.

For all the soul-searching about why Silicon Valley became Silicon Valley, the overwhelming reason is because once you have a successful base for an up and coming industry, you will win by default moving forward. Once Silicon Valley became the initial bed for tech, tech talent moved there for the jobs, and new tech companies move their to follow the tech talent. Its a virtuous (or vicious for everyone else) cycle. That's it. Virtually every other reason is looking for patterns where non-exists.

The weather certainly helps, but I feel like that is more of a post-fact justification than an actual cause. People want to tell themselves that paying out the nose for a closet with 4 roommates in San Francisco is worth it because the rest of the US is a hellscape with weather unfit for human life. It's not, and with climate change, the California weather is becoming less and less attractive.

There may never be an "next" Silicon Valley other that Silicon Valley. But it won't be for any reason other than being a Mecca for an industry is reason enough to sustain itself.
Virtually everyone relies on ISP DNS servers, which can trivially bypass DNSSEC (DNSSEC collapses down to a single bit in the header on the last hop from server to stub resolver). If all you're trying to do is resist DNS censorship, you can get almost everything you need from using an out-of-country name and DoH, which is universally available, very much unlike DNSSEC.
If you want to build anything with reliability, testable and amazing echo system j2ee is the way to go.

I was a skeptic myself always thinking it's too heavy and too large and too slow, but after fate handed me a codebase of j2ee platform and seeing how reliable and no effort is put into maintaining it rather just focus on the application logic.

I would always chose java for any software that's expected to last 10 years plus and should work reliably.
There is no reason to start at episode 1. His show is not a story nor does it build much on the past. Just search through the backlog for guests you are interested in.

Nobody with decision making power actually cares whether any of the software in use in enterprises works well or not.

^this just isn't true. There's three camps of people. 1) The people who use Teams today and think it works just fine, they even enjoy it and find it simple to use (these people exist). 2) The people who use teams but are annoyed by many small issues that together cumulate to a poor UX. 3) People who will never like Teams for many reasons but make a point about being as vocal as possible about their hate.

Decision makers and leaders care about 1 and 2, which imho is good. I do agree that Teams isn't perfect and I also agree that it plays best, for now, with IT ecosystems. That said, end user love is critical and I think fixing that for group 2 will only help to secure Teams' undeniable comp advantage.
No, that's not needed. There's a K8S plugin for Backstage that can link your deployments to the services in Backstage's service catalog, which is useful. But that's pretty much the only part of Backstage that would "require" Kubernetes.
