I hope you remind your children not to believe everything they see on social media.
Don't be so sure that some of the mods don't work for Reddit. Some of them are powermods modding multiple large subs in the millions of subscribers, and they seem to be able to get their way instantly with anything they want. Pretty lucky of Reddit to have people who can mod multiple huge subs for years for "free". Not only that, but Reddit wants to do a public IPO to raise more money. So let's see how that's going to go with the investors.. "we have vAlUe FoR tHe ShArEhOlDeR by not paying staff, but these are capricious little creatures who we have no idea who they are and they have control over user engagement and the user experience but don't worry about it". How well is that going to go? Not very well. At the very least, it'll be required to be published in the financial statements how much of the Reddit budget goes to PAY mods, and this will finally put an end the oft-repeated claim that all the mods are volunteers.

I hope the supreme court takes away section 230 from these people. They have abused their power so much by permanently banning people who simply have an opinion that is not the same as theirs, that they deserve to lose it.
It's really the only healthy response. If you want to use his work, comply with his license. If F-Droid doesn't accept his licensing, they don't have to distribute it.

The main reason I use F-Droid is because of the apps that they don't distribute. The standards they set allow me to feel safe installing unknown software. I like F-Droid for the same reason that Apple fanatics like their app store; because of what's not allowed.
It seems like your comment is actually an argument for why this should have been flagged?

This easily could be a Russian psyop -- and even if it isn't -- it is definitely political and a potential flamewar. Totally lost here

Why are you making things harder for the author? Once they marked it as something they don't want to fix, nobody else should be commenting or posting it on HN.
Do you think credit card companies are going to willingly evaporate overnight when CBDCs roll out? People will still pay for everything with payment processors and use credit cards.
Serious question(s):

1. Why does he have to fence competitively? Is it not merely a choice/preference?

2. Same question but for any sports.

As for college, what is he/you aspiring to? Is it some average university like Oklahoma State University or something like UCLA?

I've yet to see evidence that it is hard/competitive to get into the former. And while people who go to highly ranked schools do have a minor advantage, it is fairly slight. I've been to both types of schools, so I have an idea.
> Debian has the popcon package that can be installed and reports weekly usage of the software packages.

Right. That's fully opt-in, to the point the package isn't even installed by default, which is the only moral way to do this.
100%. Stuff that needs done, will still need done and a lot of it is going to be difficult to robot away.

The trades have never been busier, and all the different trades I see at different job sites have the 30 whatever being the young person.

Not only are they in demand, but can pay pretty decently as well, plus have directly applicable individual life uses, causing most of us tradesmen to spend very little $ maintaining our own things (cars, houses, etc).

Go to college, awesome. Or learn to use your hands and do something well, awesome.

The stuck in retail / service middle ground seems to be the hardest path in life, and obviously so very subjective, but I'd find that long term path not very internally rewarding, either.
Im not trying to be argumentative, but at that point is this behavior worth encouraging?

I guess whose fault is it but their own? We can all blame our upbringing and it definitely does affect us, but how else can you change the cycle without telling someone to snap out of it ?
Russian attempts to withstand the economic pressure of sanctions have been successful insofar as to prevent a collapse, but the pressure is crushing on all aspects of the economy, as well as any hopes for Russia for economic and industrial development. Brain drain, loss of foreign investment, technology imports, diminishing consumer activity, falling real estate markets - are just some of the headwinds that are in effect outside the energy sanctions.

The budget revenue deficit for just the January of this year exceeds the deficit for the entirety of 2022. Russia has reserves that it can employ for the time being to mitigate some of the damage, but they are not bottomless. If the pace of losses continues in a similar manner - most of the reserves will be exhausted by years end.

After that - one might expect the usual tools to be employed - cutting budgets to pay for civil workers (everyone other than security), pensions etc, attempts to raise money from already struggling businesses via wartime taxes, issuance of wartime bonds to population to borrow cash, and if all fails - start printing money to plug the budgetary shortfalls, and the resulting inflation.

What's the alternative?

You need the database. It must scale and be reliable.

It must have proper UI.

People must be able to use it without prior learning.

Let's say you create a website from the scratch. You need to use some cloud database. You need to build a simple UI which will work with bad network. You have few hours to do that. You need not to go bankrupt because entire country suddenly will use your app.

Twitter is well known to everyone. Twitter has API which basically allows to use it as a simple database. Twitter is web scale and can handle the load. Twitter has solid battle tested website and apps. And everything is completely free.

IMO it's a unique proposition and nothing compares to it.

If you have enough time, you can build better specialized app, that's for sure.

No, it isn't, and the idea that is is toxic.
Yet another "I used ChatGPT and it did was I asked it to" post. I think we should get used to this being the background noise.
Whether or not it "understands" I think is a philosophical question. It absolutely can answer the same question two different ways. I have had to correct it and ask the same question several times before. It's not hard to do.

Re flagging: that's supposed to be for comments that break the site guidelines. If you (or anyone) see a comment that breaks the site guidelines and isn't flagged, or a comment that is flagged and doesn't break the site guidelines, remember that we don't come close to seeing everything, and that you can always let us know at hn@ycombinator.com. It's best to only do that in egregious cases though. For non-egregious cases, it's best to remember that consistency is impossible and not sweat the small stuff.

pop_back() implementations have checks, but they're opt-in (and how to opt-in is specific to each implementation).

This is just how C++ works: performance over safety, safety is semi-possible but requires a bunch of opt-ins. And the parts needed for safe C++ aren't standardized, so good luck if you're using multiple compilers.
Yeah. I did a decade where that wasn't the case. Poverty is longer and harder in southern states.
>If you were personally insulted

I'm fine, reason why I posted reply is because top comment called creating an issue on a public issue tracker "show[ing] up and harass[ing] the developer". Hence my reply that the only harassment(however mild) I saw was from the developer himself, as per his right, but it still goes against the comment I was replying to.
The app you're talking about is called Diagnostic Data Viewer [1].

However, your statement is not correct. It's true that most system diagnostics / telemetry flow through this application; however, that's only one part of the network requests going out of your system.

There are network requests being made every time you type a character in the start menu (whether or not you have web search enabled). That is not considered telemetry so it does not show up in the Diagnostic Data Viewer. It is also not possible to disable it (there were various group policy and registry settings that worked at some point in time, none of them do any more on latest versions of Windows 11).

Similarly, when the "recommended" container of the start menu refreshes itself, it does a lot of network traffic, none of which is recorded in DDV. And of course, any applications that come with the system but are not core OS (OneDrive, Office, Store, Xbox, Cortana, Explorer, etc.) will send their own telemetry (and other network requests) which do not go through DDV.

> Hersh's reputation and the source are absolutely evidence

It’s a signal to pay attention to the issue. To keep an eye out for evidence. It’s not evidence per se.
That's fair, thanks for the example!
This being HN, I get to be pedantic ;-).

Humans are not stochastic, they're obviously chaotic[1]. Which is to say: not parrots at all.

Some of the modern models I've seen also seem to be chaotic too though, so that's interesting [2]. I'm going to assume LLMs probably exhibit the same properties.

(Chaotic systems sometimes seem to be stochastic, but they're actually much stranger and more interesting!)

[2] I've been messing with stable diffusion to get a feel for (and/or avoid) tipping points: that is to say, points in latent space where the model becomes very sensitive to small changes in initial parameters. You can find instances fairly quickly even by hand by doing bisect search.

Recession Fears 2023: What Lies Ahead?
As a German citizen let me tell you, hardly anyone here is angry that the pipelines are gone. No one is even talking about Nord Stream anymore. When Gazprom stopped the gas flows in July 2022, it was abundandly clear, that the deliveries would not resume in the foreseable future. In a way, blowing up the pipelines made things easier, because the government and the industry could fully focus on reorganizing energy procurement, without being needlessly entangled in hypothetical discussions about what could have been. Even if Russia wanted to resume selling gas to Western Europe sometime in the future, there is still plenty of capacity in the remaining pipelines through Belarus and Poland, as well as Ukraine. They are fully operational and currently either not used at all (Yamal pipeline), or operating at a very low capacity (Transgas).

Clifford A. Pickover, for example, seems to be of a different opinion, as he includes Buckminster Fuller's tensegrity systems in the milestones of Physics.

Edit: I will make the comment clearer:

these should not be polls. It is bewildering that one can think of just sharing "I have a bad opinion of Tamerlan". Then you find somebody who declared having a good opinion of Tamerlan. And no progress is made. It does not matter that for the specific point Clifford Pickover was ill informed - that is not the point. There is no sense in making this a "Ok, all those who have a good idea of Tamerlan raise your hand... Ok, now all of those who have a _bad opinion_, of Tamerlan... Good. Back to business now. We meet tomorrow for Gengis Khan".
JS objects are dynamic with the ability to add/remove class properties and methods or to dynamically change what class/object it inherits from all as the program executes.

You realize they're just hash maps / dictionaries right?

Most C++ programmers started programming C++ long before JS became popular.

Do you think most C++ programmers today started 30 years ago in the early 90s?

You realize you can write everything you wrote pretty directly in C++, python, lua or a lot of other modern languages out there right? I get the impression that you don't know much about modern C++ and just base what you are saying off things you have heard from other javascript programmers trying to avoid learning other languages.
In this case the code was using the .data() on a std::vector<char>, so it wouldn't have even been possible to use something like std::stoi (or something nicer like absl::SimpleAtoi) since the C++ routines need a std::string (or absl will accept std::string_view), not a C style string. Which in itself shows you that the code is problematic, because it's been written in a way where you can't even use idiomatic C++ library functions to do basic tasks.

For the memcpy() thing the idiomatic way would have been to use std::copy() with the vectors begin/end iterators, and std::copy will do the right thing in this situation with a zero sized vector. The compiler will generate the same code with std::copy() as memcpy() anyway if the vector contains a POD type (as it did in this example), so there's not even a performance argument to be made for memcpy().
The main reason I use F-Droid is because, it's closer to a Ubuntu style repository, that I can assume it's basically open source, maybe some licesning restrictions, certainly not like 'free' apps in the appstore designed to generate income for the author.

And it's almost always me getting stupid apps that should just be part of the OS.

A Calendar app, I can use without having a gmail account

A note taking app

A sound recorder

'I Never Ever Felt This Liberated': Says Microsoft CEO About Assault on Google
Under several jurisdictions, the depiction of Muhammed is a crime (with extremely harsh punishments).

Am I, a citizen of a free country, not allowed to use this app to read a book that has such a depiction? Is this "acceptable"?

Surely if the author lives in such an oppressive country it should be obvious that they don't want me to use the app for this purpose, and I would clearly be in violation of their terms of service, going directly against the open source license and principals.

I don't know who the author is or where they live but the point still stands. And that doesn't even consider the moet vague terms of the sentence.

This looks like one of those "don't pirate books with our app" clauses that's very well-intentioned, but at odds with the open source license attached to the product.

This is what you get when laymen start doing lawyer work, and why copy-pasting legalese is much safer than trying to write your own.

Obviously neither F-Droid nor any of its users are at any risk of violating the ToS, let alone any consequences of doing so. The problem is that you can either allow ToS/license violations or you can't, there's no in-between.

It should also be noted that F-Droid itself may have issues, since the official repository only contains code F-Droid compiles unlike other app stores where you can upload compiled applications.

It's an interesting problem that I'm sure will be solved quickly without too much hassle, but it's also a lesson for open source developers to watch out when it comes to writing terms and conditions.
Substack is just a platform, like Blogger in the past or YouTube today. Which means there are a lot of mediocre writers and a few really good ones, and it's unfair to throw them all in the same bag.

Seymour Hersh, for instance, is a hell of a reporter. His memoir book is awesome. Instant subscription, and glad to know he's moved to Substack.
Raise the cost of goods to make up for the loss in profit margin. Yeah people can go to PC/Android but there is enough value add(eg. iMessage, app store, continuity) that many will swallow their pride and stay in the ecosystem.
Thanks, I did educate myself and came to the exact opposite conclusion: CBDCs are a pile of nothing and vaporware.

Russia is a brutal dictatorship engaging in a war of aggression against the Ukraine and using natural gas as weapon in it's war.

But is that a reason to not to address or even mention the topic of the post, the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline? I mean, are implicitly saying that covert act was justified? If people believe that, they should say it.

One of the worst effects of war is an attitude of "not only is everything our side does automatically justified, we're going to stomp on any investigation of what our side does".
>The docking to a TV / monitor is a joke with the standard UI...I have never gotten it to work well, so if I need to dock I have to go into desktop mode.

Really? I'm just using an Anker USB-C dock and it works fine, everything runs great and it allows me to charge as well.
This is 100% hearsay and has a high probability of being a Russian psyop either directly or through breadcrumb plants of false information for Hersh to run across. This has no business being on Hacker News.
You lost the game as soon as it said:

> I'm sorry, I don't have the information about specific news events blah blah blah

You can absolutely get it to hallucinate things about the future, but once it commits a statement like this to the dialog you two are writing together, that statement becomes highly relevant to everything said after. And the more attention you put on it through debate, the more it becomes the focus.

In the future, when this happens, just scrap the dialog and start a new one. Avoid bringing attention to what it can't do, and try to make assertive statements about what it can do (what you want it to do). Done correctly, these
statements become more relevant than its pre-seeded context and the improvisation can go wherever you want.

Totally agree. Telemetry has been around and matured and benefits users. I’m not sure the benefits for Go would be as significant as other software but, really, why not?

Do schools in other countries let kids—elementary school and up—take smartphones to school and (due to inability to harshly police it because of reluctance to take phones, since it pisses off parents) use them quite a bit in class? I was shocked to find out that's a widespread policy/practice in the US, these days, and I'd be surprised if other countries are following us off that particular very-stupid cliff.

What's the median age of first smartphone for kids coming up in other OECD states?

Social media has a much smaller effect if you have to go to the family computer to use it, or whatever, than if you've got it in your pocket all day and are checking it constantly when the teacher's not looking....
So it sounds like we can't have telemetry?
What is the argument for opt-out telemetry being unethical?
That doesn't really work too well. What does work is flagging forum crosslnks to live ongoing project drama off the front page and even better, just not posting things like that to HN.
Substack doesn’t curate their content. Any blog platform will have questionable content, but I don’t see that as a reason to ignore all content ever published on that platform by anyone.
What is the alternative? Operating a discourse forum is high maintenance and low visibility. Facebook/Linkedin? Horrible platforms in practically all possible ways. The fediverse has some ideas about a Reddit alternative (Lemmy) but much less mature than mastodon at this point and ofcourse yet to be seen how moderation will fare if user numbers start rising.

Like so many aspects of the current tech landscape, its largely a case of TINA, there is no alternative, even though the deficiencies are glaring.

If nobody would voluntarily do it, why do you think it's okay to do it at all? By your very admission, nobody wants this. Because if they did, they'd turn it on!
I have one problem with PeerTube: its P2P architecture makes the users legally liable for the content they're watching, because they aren't just watching, they are also automatically sharing it.

Of course, Torrent has the same problem but I think in that case people are more aware of it.
A single unnamed source also makes this extremely susceptible to being a Russian plant or asset or "influenced".
There is an additional dimension here - some people start off great and then become toxic due to external conditions (home problems, health issues, organizational strife). Sometimes those problems are resolvable (or mitigable). Sometimes your "problem child" becomes a stalwart after their situation is resolved.

A good manager can root cause these issues and then determine if the resolution is workable in a reasonable timeframe. A great manager keeps this in mind while coordinating all activities and requires their direct reports to assist them in doing this.

Finally, great leaders are sometimes not great managers. Another note - even managers can shift from good/great/bad over time.
