Just as saying that machine learning can identify spam discredits anything else ex-reddit CEO says.

I'm sure gmail have a clue from their point of view, but those doesn't align with mine (nor, I'd argue, most of their users). Their view also as a coincidence happens to strengthen their hold on the market but who cares?
technically we tried to do that during the sixties but europe, canada, mexico, and a host of other countries eventually came to realize the embargo is washingtons petulant tantrum over the fact they not only couldnt overthrow castro in a decade, they also couldnt assassinate him or his character to any meaningful effect whatsoever. We nearly normalized relationships with Cuba under the Obama administration but the next president in office immediately rescinded the olive branch and our current octogenarian in chief apparently still has a warm spot for the cold war as well.

I love how they define "activation date" for the data plan!

> The hardware will be charged upfront but the subscription data plan will not be charged until the device is activated. The activation date (and $60/yr billing date) for a device is the first of the following month once ≥50 messages are sent. For example, if your device sends its ≥50th message on April 8th, your device would be charged on May 1st. And would renew annually on May 1st until you opt-out.
I expect nothing from managers. When the pay/bullshit ratio starts going in the wrong direction, I have just as much agency to leave as they do to let me go.
Mostly the same points.

In early 2000 within a few months the traffic on 680 south over the Sunol Grade(main road to the SV from points NE) went from dead stopped at 4:30am, to no traffic at all at 7:30am. It was breathtaking.

I managed to hole up in a consulting gig in manufacturing. We had our rates shaved 20% and felt lucky. Everyone who had left for greener pastures called up looking for work over the next year. I mean everyone. It was sad.

As described above, there were no jobs to had.

I recall a new building put up around the 580/680 interchange. I used it as my canary, when it was occupied I would call the recovery happening. It was empty from 2000-2003.

2008 was bad for other sectors, tech had issues, but nothing like 2000.

What's going on now isn't the same. There are specific pullbacks. Twitter is about the Elon buyout. In other places there is money. And in my manufacturing universe I'm having trouble finding people.
I'm not sure we could tell the difference. As Yishan states, the proof of the behavior isn't being made public because of the exposure to creating new issues. Without that, you would never know.

As for specific platforms, aka Reddit, how can one be sure that right wingers on that platform aren't in fact more likely to engage in bad behavior that left wingers? It might be because they are being targeted, but it could also be that that group of people on that platform tend to act more aggressively.

I am NOT saying that I know if Reddit is fair in its moderation, I just don't know.
He could be. Blue checks aren’t just a status symbol, as many seem to think. They serve(d) a ver important purpose. But while that prompted these tweets as the author mention it apples to so many other companies.

Netflix lost me because of this in the last year or two. A VERY long time customer, their quality to noise ratio had been getting bad. Combined with competition, constant price hikes, and gouging for 4K I just gave up.

I actually found this from someone who linked to it lamenting they think Apple is very close to this. A a longtime Apple user I’m afraid they may be right.
The worst part of this, politically I mean, is that the Tories can blame inflation/general recession. But Brexit surely plays a huge part in this.
Absolutely, each audience has different expectations for what "quality" even means. Though I'm not really sure where "the algorithm" (I kinda hate how anthropomorphized it is) doesn't play into even in your scenario. Browse and Search are the two largest ways to grow traffic, and both are algorithmic to different degrees... unless you just mean like, growth is not a goal on YouTube for you, in which case, yeah you can just ignore all of this for sure.

But the language used around this topic is often implying that "the algorithm" will "punish you" if you like, post too often, post too little, post at different times... and I personally believe that that is empirically demonstrated to be not the case, and is also something YouTube (at least lately, I've only been paying close attention for a year or two) has never implied is important. And they've said things that imply that it's totally irrelevant, recommendation wise.
One is enough.

Though technically it was too, I accidentally restarted the first through the in-game restart modes.

Second one I just blatantly gave myself enough money to get to the monstrous amounts of clippers so it takes only minutes to proceed to the second part.

But it's worth to see the both endings.
fear of projected/expected/hypothetical economic conditions though, so they are kind of related?

like i totally agree, i can understand the basic math between

"equities are worth more when corporations can finance their projects/growth cheaper (0-2%) than at 4-6%"

the less money corporations stand to make, the less profitable they are, they less they are worth, the less premium investors want to pay for exposure to their hypothetical earnings yields, etc. etc.

but some stat somewhere said "it's not as simple as exiting the market and waiting for the fed to do QE again" (don't fight the fed)

equities can still "price in", digest, and "go up" during fed monetary policy tightening cycle. i think i read it's happened 9 out of 14 times previously. not sure the truth behind it/wish i could remember the source.
So just to be clear, this of the Apple version of Google's Jamboard and Microsoft's Whiteboard?

The same as Pages is their version of Docs/Word?

I'm wondering if there's anything this does that they don't, but at first glance nothing stands out.

But seeing as a lot of people have never even heard of Jamboard/Whiteboard, it's interesting Apple thought this was important enough to create their own version of.
> I try to use depersonalized language for this reason. Instead of saying "you" did this (yeah that's right, YOU), I'll tell someone that their account is doing something, or that their comment is a certain way. This creates distance between their account or their comment and them, which leaves them freer to be receptive and to change.

I feel quite excited to read that you, dang, moderating HN, use a similar technique that I use for myself and try to teach others. Someone told my good friend the other day that he wasn't being a very good friend to me, and I told him that he may do things that piss me off, annoy me, confuse me, or whatever, but he will always be a good friend to me. I once told an Uber driver who told me he just got out of jail and was a bad man, I said, "No, you're a good man who probably did a bad thing."

Thank you for your write-up.
Did they punch themselves in the face or was it Cambridge Analytica type meddling from groups with a vested interest in Brexit happening stomping them in the face with a boot?

>but I do know that he's being held to a much higher standard than almost anyone else because of his race. And as a dad, I don't like it.
>You are displaying an amazing sense of entitlement.

This is how I objectively know he's being held to a much higher standard. A kid of any other race, to have the same chance of admission to these schools, will need an SAT score 250-450 points lower (depending on race), and a GPA 0.2 - 0.9 lower (again, depending on race), than him. To use Harvard's own statistic, "An Asian American in the fourth lowest decile has virtually no chance of being admitted to Harvard (0.9%) but an African American in that decile has a higher chance of admission (12.8%) than an Asian American in the top decile (12.7%)" They tried to explain it on the basis of soft metrics like "personality". Funnily enough, interviewers didn't judge Asian Americans as low on personality and sociability. Only the admissions staff did. Go figure.
IME, places (or forums, or social networks, etc.) with good moderation tend to fall into 2 camps of putting that into play:

1. The very hands-off approach style that relies on the subject matter of the discussion/topic of interest naturally weeding out "normies" and "trolls" with moderation happening "behind the curtain";

2. The very hands-on approach that relies on explicit clear rules and no qualms about acting on those rules, so moderation actions are referred directly back to the specific rule broken and in plain sight.

Camp 1 begins to degrade as more people use your venue; camp 2 degrades as the venue turns over to debate about the rules themselves rather than the topic of interest that was the whole point of the venue itself (for example, this is very common in a number of subreddits where break-off subreddits usually form in direct response to a certain rule or the enforcement of a particular rule).
In my brief introduction to it, there seems to be an impedance mismatch between snaps and the entire philosophy of Linux (and Unix more generally).

When a program tries to build it's own little world without consideration for the conventions of the operating system it creates all sorts of problems and doesn't allow the user to leverage its functions as part of a complete system like they can with programs that follow the decades old Unix patterns.

What I'm saying is if Canonical wants to be in the Snaps business, perhaps they should make SnapOS.

> Part of the price is determined by investor emotions.

how many investors actively manage their portfolios and do so with their emotions (despite statistical evidence saying you should do neither if you want the best returns)? enough to actually move the markets?

what does that look like in a more zoomed in view? 1,000,000 americans logging in every day/week/month/quarter and rebalancing their 401k/IRA/brokerage accounts? realizing losses by selling?
The government was planning to do tax cuts (further increasing demand during a period of already-high inflation) when the central bank was trying to get inflation under control. The market saw the writing on the wall and people began selling off UK currency, causing the value of the pound to plummet. The central bank had to reverse course and decrease rates to prop up the pound in the short term to stabilize the economy. Ultimately the PM fired her economic minister and then she was ultimately forced to resign herself. This situation was unprecedented anywhere globally as far as I'm aware.
> they decide to just fire 13% for some reason

Maybe they fired some after and evaluation process, and than number came out to be 13%. Or maybe they laid of department X and that department just happened to be 13% of the company.

Why are you so sure the 13% was the starting place of all their thought process?
Best of luck to you, that's tough.

It shouldn't be the case that people can be laid off just like that - particularly if their work was obviously needed.
Suddenly realizing that 14% of your employees are not necessary for your business seems like a sign that something is wrong...

Study urges caution when comparing neural networks to the brain
I struggled for years to get going. My primary blockers were 1) not having a clear vision for why I was blogging or what my blog should be, and 2) concern about finding an audience. I finally started over this summer and am 12 posts in (about one per week).
I disagree. There's an ableist, patronizing assumption to be analyzed here: People with mental disabilities must have the language used around them carefully policed because they can't handle the implied disfavor and emotional harm that language may communicate via their own agency, not like the rest of us.

Sure, we shouldn't use harmful language and emotional intelligence matters. If you're overweight and talking with someone and they constantly find ways to derogatorily refer to your weight or even being overweight abstractly, they may be a jerk. But if someone online abstractly calls something fat, it's not directed at you. That's part of emotional intelligence in my opinion.
I'm not sure what you mean, sounds like the Electoral College is working as intended
You know the euphemism treadmill right? The words moron and imbecile were once valid terms for mentally disabled, and offensive to use casually, but are no longer offensive in that way.

Conversely, people tried to introduce the term "special needs" to avoid the connotations of "retarded", and then "special" became an insult.

The word "lame" is also incredibly widely used and no longer considered offensive even though it's still a valid term for those who have difficulty walking.

I don't have a point, just find the whole thing very interesting. "retarded" is definitely in the grey area where I personally try to avoid using it, but it's still commonly used. Perhaps "crazy" and "insane" are next.
That measures price. Inflation isn't a big secret... The original comment alluded to inflation being caused by supply shocks.

Look forward to your next attempt.

> persuade the user to behave differently

That scares me. Today's norms are tomorrow's taboos. The dangers of conforming and shaping everyone into the least controversial opinions and topics are self evident. It's an issue on this very forum. "Go elsewhere" doesn't solve the problem because that policy still contributes to a self-perpetuating feedback loop that amplifies norms, which often happen to be corrupt and related to the interests of big (corrupt) commercial and political powers.

Braid was released in 2008 -- forever ago in game-industry time. The industry has become more consolidated around Unity and Unreal since then.

Unity has 2D platformer support built right in, and the tricky bits -- like the time mechanic -- could be written as an extension. Heck, there's probably a time rewind mechanic in the Unity Asset Store as we speak. They've so far advanced that you're just never going to keep up writing a bespoke engine because they've benefited from being integral to the industry as a whole. Furthermore, the skills you develop on your own with your little bespoke engine aren't going to translate into the industry, where everybody uses Unity or Unreal.

It's kind of like how you're never going to build a graphic design business using GIMP, Krita, or Inkscape. They're all nice tools for amateurs and dilettantes, but entire industry standards and processes have coalesced around Photoshop and Illustrator, so that's what you use. The open-source alternatives are decades behind the curve here and in some ways, will never ever catch up. Good luck getting PANTONE support, which is critical to graphic design for print, into GIMP or Inkscape, for instance.
"While it will not be the UK's deepest downturn, it will be the longest since records began in the 1920s, the Bank said."

They didn't say it would be the worst, just the longest.

They've also indicated that they aren't going to just keep madly raising interest rates, but expect to top out by next autumn:

"The Bank has done something it doesn't normally do in the published minutes of its decisions - it has given guidance that seems to suggest a peak in interest rates of about 4.5% next autumn.".

So it's far from scare mongering (on the bank's part, can't control how the media portray it), and more "this is not going to be a quick fix, we have some idea of how bad it'll get, and it's not as bad as the 80s. Please don't panic".

Quite a measured response in reaction to some bad news IMO.
Who said you were black or that I was white? White, brown, yellow and others live in Sudan.

Your views are white and black and that's not reality. The world is not a movie. Most people in the world are not even white or black. Why are you excluding them?

Why do you think it is fair to let in less qualified black students over more qualified asian and Indian students?

How to make one boot partition to rule them all (debian, secure boot disabled for UEFI due to weird bug with how files are laid out with removable flag):

parted -s "${diskpath}" mklabel gpt
parted -s "${diskpath}" mkpart primary 1MiB 2MiB
parted -s "${diskpath}" set 1 bios_grub on
parted -s "${diskpath}" mkpart primary 2Mib 202MiB
parted -s "${diskpath}" set 2 esp on
sleep 1
mkfs.fat -F 32 -n "boot" "${diskpath}2"
mount "/dev/disk/by-label/boot" "/boot"
grub-install --target=i386-pc "${diskpath}"
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --removable --no-uefi-secure-boot
grub-mkconfig > "/boot/grub/grub.cfg"

This makes two partitions, one for GRUB to inject legacy BIOS boot code into and one for the ESP. ESP gets mounted to /boot, grub gets setup to support both. Only bug is Debian complains about symlinking .bak files for initrd, no biggie.

(This is part of a larger Debian imaging script I made)
With Netflix’s ads tier, you never know what you’re going to get
This threat model was at the heart of Maemo's and later Meego's app store criteria. Both APT and RPM repository trust model is flat: all repositories have the same privileges to make packages available for upload, and can declare any dependencies they choose in their packages. This allows a third party to override any package in the system.

Doesn't matter who provides the repository, because ownership can change. Even if you trust the current owner to be diligent and fair you have no control over what a future owner does. (Incidentally, buying widely used but badly maintained browser extensions and using them to distribute malware is a real thing.)

For example: the software everyone cares about is in a repo. The company uploads a version of a core library, such as glibc or libstdc++ in their repo and set it up with a very specific version number. Then they wait a bit, and upload a version of the much-cared software that declares a dependency against the specific library version. When the end users upgrade their packages, they also get a compromised core system library and all of a sudden ALL the software on their system is affected. The software you added the repo for has not been tampered with. But a backdoor from the core library is now present everywhere.

I worked with Nokia and Intel before and during the Maemo/Meego fusion. Back in 2010/2011 I had an early draft patch against libzypper that would have allowed to set certain package priority levels behind a fixed signing key, and made the above attack impossible. (Others were looking at how to confine the install scripts.) I went to a holiday in January 2011 and during that time, Elopcalypse happened. When I came back, the project no longer existed and my RFC patch never saw the light of the day.
>He wrote that after he tweeted a cartoon last year, Twitter HR asked him to take it down, along with one he had posted internally.

I do not understand the perceived right some people think they have to publicly harm the entity that is paying them. A private company is paying you to make them money and you accepted the role because you thought it was the most money you could make. If they decide that you have gone out of their way to create PR/money problems for them then of course they will/should let you go.
Dang that's really cool. I remember having a palm and loving it in high school. There was a utility that would crawl a website and then package it up to a certain link depth, and put that on your palm pilot for offline viewing.

I believe that's GP's point! Any of us has the potential to be the bad actor in some discussion that gets us irrationally worked up. Maybe that chance is low for you or I, but it's never totally zero.

And even if the chance is zero for you or I specifically, there's no way for the site operators to a priori know that fact or to be able to predict which users will suddenly become bad actors and which discussions will trigger it.

> because the truth procedure for "legal vs illegal" involves a judge

This part is not correct. Private companies block what they believe to be illegal activities in their systems constantly - in order to limit the legal liability of being an accomplice to a crime. This is the case in all industries - and is standard practice from banking, to travel, to hotels, to retail... it's commonplace for companies to block services.

For spam, I would recommend that it gets a separate filter-flag allowing users to toggle it and see spam content, separately toggled from moderated content.
