There's a difference between a "function" that uses implicit contextual state and one that doesn't. We can call it a function with implicit context or we can call it an object or a service or a process. It doesn't really matter as long as we have some way of talking about it. Those other words have been in common use for a long time so it's probably more convenient to use them.

Musk Twitter Takeover: Questions and Answers
I'd say close to just works. I've spent the last 6 months developing with Rider on Arch and it hasn't been a completely smooth ride. Admittedly, a lot of my pain just came from inexperience. I screwed up permissions; it took me ages to setup the right .net packages due to the nomenclature (which, when I installed Visual Studio on Windows, is easily glossed over); function apps took a while to get working.

But it really is satisfying once you've got everything working.

> Which means there isn't the one true way of doing things you need to learn either.

A nitpick/disagree here. While it’s true that both C# and the framework are pretty lax about things, there’s definitely a “right” way of doing things as recommended by Microsoft. Following that guidance means it’s easier to hop between .NET codebases
I think SQL is both the simplest to learn and most worthwhile in this aspect.

Why? Short answer - Because it doesn't have for loops.

It forces you to think about data in another way. It is like origami for programming. You can't brute force it, you have to fold your way to the result.
Security is not privacy though. If I had a piece of information that could kill, I would trust Google with safeguarding it. What I don't trust them, is not to use information they got. Or rather, I expect them to use it (but safeguard it from others, because that's how they make money: by being the only ones allowed access to private information).
Yeah. This situation is entirely alien to my career, though I've also never worked at a non-tech company (hence the speculation)
this is essentially what wikia is, but focused only on specific niches rather than all content that wikipedia doesn't want to include.

if you wanted to create a wiki that included all the stuff you wished wikipedia hadn't deleted, you could. but that doesn't really solve the problem, because the problem isn't that there's nowhere on the internet to post information about topics you are interested in - the problem is that people want to use wikipedia's authority and importance to promote topics that they are interested in. posting that content on some other site that isn't wikipedia doesn't accomplish that goal.

if jessica wade didn't want her work to be subject to wikipedia's notability requirements, she could have made a blog and written a series of posts highlighting different female scientists.
OK but then we're just talking about content moderation, which seems like a separate issue. I think using "YouTube copyright claim" as a proxy for "legal copyright claim" is more to the parent's point, especially since that's how YouTube purports the claim to work. Otherwise it feels irrelevant.

>I wonder if Pastebin is a solution

Pastebin has had overly aggressive algorithmic deletions for a few years now, I wouldn't use it.
For the benefit of future authoritarian, empire-hungry leaders, letʼs correct the historical lesson Bismarck & Co. can provide:

- The first of the three wars was a reaction against Denmarkʼs attempt at annexing Schleswig. Prussia and Austria won the war on behalf of the so-called “Deutscher Bund” ‘German Federation’, a rather loose federation of states. It actually was a defensive war: against an on-going forced annexation.

- The second war was Prussia against Austria – not Germany against Austria; in fact, the majority of the German Federation was on Austriaʼs side, which lost the war.

- The third war was declared and started by the French emperor (after a public outcry in France over an alleged insult by the Prussian king, it was a ridiculous matter) with the objective to annex more of the German regions to the left of the Rhine. So it certainly was a defensive one.

This is often misunderstood because the wars were of use to Bismarckʼs policy. But he was not able to telepathically force the Danish king or the French emperor to their aggressive policies. He just had an uncanny ability to foresee peopleʼs actions, especially their stupid ones, and to align his policy with what he had foreseen. And of course it was necessary that the wars then were won, which was mainly Moltkeʼs work as far as the mere military matters were concerned. But the victories, especially in the first and third war, depended also on allies and benevolently neutral parties Bismarck won for his side.

So the lesson here would be: Donʼt start a war, you have to wait until you can credibly claim to be attacked; wage war from the position of the defender.

(Besides: “After these 3 wars, Germany was more than double in population” doesnʼt make sense: Before the war, the Germany that was after the war didnʼt exist in the first place; and the Germany after the war was rather “little–Germany”: the realization of the “kleindeutsche Lösung” ‘little-German solution’ because Austria was out.)
Accessing a computer system without permission is illegal. Search engines operate under the assumption that they have permission to access any public available server unless explicitly forbidden.

If a company or person assume they got copyright permission to any work public accessible then they will quickly find out that such assumption is wrong, and that they require explicit permission.
Ask HN: Ryan Howard's Wuphf?
The U.S. television series "The Office" did a bit where one of the characters (Ryan Howard) tried to start a company named "WUPHF" (pronounced "woof") where users could send a single message which would simultaneously be delivered multiple social media accounts/platforms. (Here's a clip for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrVskziCc4w)

It was intended to be a silly bit on the show, but I would actually like to do something similar to communicate with/organize volunteers for work days supporting a non-profit organization that maintains multi-use trail systems in the midwest. One-way broadcasts are probably sufficient, but I'd like a simplified way to get messages out across SMS/email/Twitter/Facebook and possibly Slack. Allowing replies and aggregating them to a single service would be really nice too, but that seems like a recipe for infinite loops and spam concerns.

Before I go trying to hack together integrations with my limited skills, I was wondering if the HN crowd is aware of any services/tools that might help solve this use case, or even just provide suggestions on how best to approach it. My skillset is more in the "DevOps" arena than software developer/engineer but I'm not on a timeline and wouldn't mind using this as an opportunity to do a little coding if it's something that should be within reach of a novice.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or insight.
SD is better than the other two, but it will still centralize control.

I imagine that Disney would take issue with SD if material that Disney owned the copyright to was used in SD. They would sue. SD would have to be taken off the market.

Thus, Disney has the power to ensure that their copyrighted material remains protected from outside interests, and they can still create unique things that bring in audiences.

Any small-time artist that produces something unique will find their material eaten up by SD in time, and then, because of the sheer number of people using SD, that original material will soon have companions that are like it because they are based on it in some form. Then, the original won't be as unique.

Anyone using SD will not, by definition, be creating anything unique.

And when it comes to art, music, photography, and movies, uniqueness is the best selling point; once something is not unique, it becomes worth less because something like it could be gotten somewhere else.

SD still has the power to devalue original work; it just gives normal people that power on top of giving it to the big companies, while the original works of big companies remain safe because of their armies of lawyers.
I feel like changing the width of some of the IO components on the modules is closer to "tweaking" than to "completely changing".

100%, orthopedics are intense. They use pneumatic drills and saws so the auto shop analogy isn't far off. In the med device industry ortho docs are often described as mechanics and they often have a lot of physical issues themselves ad they age because it's such hard physical work.

Not long ago I designed a set of bone taps and drills along with a bunch of related instruments and they were designed and made not much differently than high end tools for metal or woodworking.

I agree that adds considerable depth to the value of the quote, and connects it to the conversation he appeared to be having, which is about the first line you've quoted:

There is no such thing as being a Liberal or Progressive, there is only being a Conservative or anti-Conservative, and while there is much nuänce and policy to debate about that, it boils down to deciding whether you actually support or abhor the idea of "the law" (which is a much broader concept than just the legal system) existing to enforce or erase the distinction between in-groups and out-groups.

But that's just my read on it. Getting back to intellectual property, it has become a bitter joke on artists and creatives, who are held up as the beneficiaries of intellectual property laws in theory, but in practice are just as much of an out-group as everyone else.

We are bound by the law—see patent trolls, for example—but not protected by it unless we have pockets deep enough to sue Disney for not paying us.
For Python folks: we just started using Streamlit as a basic front-end for the data / algorithmic work we've been working on. Been a great option for demos / prototypes -- not a full replacement for a custom app but still a useful tool.

I've also been meaning to check out Retool for this same purpose.
The poster isn't claiming that this is a valid DMCA suit. Nearly everyone who is at a mildly decent level and has posted their own recordings of classical musical to YouTube have received these claims _in their Copyright section_. YouTube itself prefixes this with some lengthy disclaimer about how this isn't the DMCA process but that they reserve the right to kick you off their site based on fraudulent matches made by their algorithms.

They are absolutely completely and utterly bullshit. Nobody with half an ear for music will mistake my playing of Bach's G Minor Sonata with Arthur Grumiaux (too many out of tune notes :-D). But yet, YouTube still manages to match this to my playing, probably because they have never heard it before now (I recorded it mere minutes before).

So no, it isn't a valid claim, but this algorithm trained on certain examples of work, manages to make bad classifications with potentially devastating ramifications for the creator (I'm not a monetized YouTube artist, but if this triggered a complete lockout of my Google account(s), this likely end Very Badly).

I think it's a very relevant comparison to the GP's examples.

Maybe - but Substack is pretty big, do they algorithmically ban? I didn't find anything saying specifically that they didn't. I guess it's not too big of a problem if I get banned and it's the only content I have there, but I would have wasted time.
> I was hoping to see an interesting technical discussion of the new OS

But what would be the point?

For one, as some people said, it's secure but whatever it does will certanily pass information through Google, and you can't trust them.

And two, as some other people said, Google projects don't survive if they get less than 100 million users.
Given that people pay to advertise on facebook, any false statements they make about their moderation systems via the internet almost certainly constitute wire fraud.
As somebody who has had a lot of interest in maintaining knowledge bases, yes it does, and the biggest problem is compromising search. It doesn't matter how good your approach to indexing is, there's no better approach to filtering out irrelevant rarely used information other than deleting it. Obscure entries in a knowledge base nobody cares about actually have a negative value.

A secondary negative effect is administrative and technical overhead. As knowledge bases expand and the number of editors stays about the same, the quality of any one entry in the knowledge base will tend to be worse since quite simply people are stretched thinner.
> That can't possibly be a valid claim, right?

It's not, but good luck talking to a human at Youtube when the video gets taken down.

> Again, that doesn't sound like a valid suit. Surely she would win?

Assuming she could afford the lawyer, and that she lives through the stress and occasional mistreatment by the authority, yes, probably. Both are big ifs, though.

You're saying "may have" but then advising them to throw it away and guarantee it was a waste of time? At least they can test it out. Learning from mistakes requires feedback.

Rather than avoiding pitching at all costs, perhaps they could find more sympathetic advisers to evaluate their product then iterate from there. Like relatives or friendly small investors who know the business.

With a Hugo blog there’s lots of hosting options. You can host on GitHub for free (paying for your own domain). I’ve been using the same random cpanel host for $30/year that has unlimited domains and sites.

It’s not trivial but was painless to set up. I think it’s kind of fun to see the various setups that devs use to host their stuff.

Medium isn’t a long term solution, so aside from its other problems (terrible aesthetic and UX), I’d still want some sustainability for hosting.
If only macOS supported mounting via SSHFS ...
i think this is the difference between hosting and publishing.

pastebin, BBSs, or even just uploading a file to a filehost like S3 would all work. but that doesn't put the content in front of anybody's eyes like the publishing platforms do. if you just upload a file somewhere, nobody is going to see it. and i assume that having other people read it is the point.

but I sure wish I had the resources to sue these powerful entities.

That said, even with a lot of money, are these cases winnable? Especially given the current state of Supreme Court and other federal courts?
This reminds of “liquid democracy”: voters can delegate their votes (including fractional votes) to other people (representatives, friends, caregivers, etc), organizations, or, in this case, an AI. I’d say most voters already do this, referencing voter guides from their preferred political organizations or local newspapers.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_democracy

Science fiction author Alastair Reynold touches on different types of democracies in a couple of his novels. One example is the demarchists, cyborgs with a direct democracy where everyone votes on even minor issues using brain implants.

Another was a proportional democracy where voters who got the “right answers” in previous elections would have their future votes more heavily weighted, effectively becoming indirect representatives of other voters.
> I consider it highly unethical to frame squeezing as much money out of people for shelter as "[taking] away the tenant's ability to exploit an inefficiency in market pricing"

Maybe I shouldn't have used the word exploit. I didn't mean that the tenant is cheating the landlord, I just meant that there is an inefficiency in the market and the tenant is able to use it to their advantage.

Rents, like house prices, do have a fair market value. Buyers and sellers are constantly engaging in negotiations every day in order to set prices on the whole. If software helps the buyer or seller negotiate more effectively, that's fine by me.

I don't disagree with you that it's become much more difficult for people to afford housing and other necessities. It's a huge problem. And I think you're on the right track when you mention large investors buying investment property. I wouldn't be opposed to limiting foreign investment. Crossing my fingers that with rates finally rising, housing/rental investment becomes less attractive and the market comes back down to earth and rents come down with it.
