> Do you honestly believe I should instead just take your word for it and ignore both personal evidence and studies? That would make no sense.

No. Also, maybe this is unclear, but I am questioning your decision when you posted your original comment (when my anecdote was unavailable).

If I were you, I would hesitate from making broad generalizations like “[hateful content] is typical content on Twitter”. A very strong statement, but sensible given your unusual access patterns. I would not make the general claim about Twitter that way (other than what studies mention), but seems like you are generalizing your cherry-picked experience.

I actually concede the points about the objective increase in hateful tweets on the site. It would be odd for them to not increase, given that all the banned accounts were reinstated; this is obvious. Similarly, we would reasonably expect less hate speech in countries that penalize them. Free speech was espoused in spite of these increases (for deeper, second/third-order consequence reasons).

To make it clear: I never said Twitter adopting free speech would lead to less hate speech on the platform. I am merely responding to your incendiary generalizations of the platform without having seriously used it.

There’s a sense in which we vary in our sensitivity towards strong moderation and limiting freedom of speech. I think freedom of speech is a hard-won right of history, something preserved for us by our ancestors so that we may enjoy it. It is also fragile, and the default human state is to diminish freedom of speech for exploitation. To me, it’s precious and serves as a backbone of a truly democratic society, but perhaps you may differ.

This leads to an interesting difference between HN and Twitter; I enjoy HN and its strongly moderated nature (there are several other strongly moderated platforms I enjoy).

But Twitter seems different. It acts as both a personal and commercial outlet for news. Personal identities are far stronger; silencing an account is silencing an identity. The consequences of limiting free speech differ.

EDIT: I also took a more careful look at your original comment with the Twitter accounts. I honestly cannot find any problematic accounts after having looked through maybe 30 posts on Top. Did you take most of them from Latest? That would make sense, but you are basically giving Twitter a very short window to respond to things. Besides, it’s not the *existence* that matters, it’s whether they are promoted or not. Because for the average user, they will see tweets with much engagement. I would be happy to see any studies on the average Twitter user’s feed, and see the amount of hateful content. If you can demonstrate that (by some sensible definitions) the average Twitter user sees a lot of hateful content, I would gladly change my mind.
Ah I’m not negative about this here, its just notable and makes the article overly verbose.
People say lawyers are assholes, but they don't think about why lawyers are assholes.

It's a lawyer's job to imagine the worst future outcomes and guard against them in the present.

Everybody focuses on "It's crazy you put that clause in there that was never needed," but few folks appreciate "Thank god we included that clause just in case."

Which isn't to opine there's a right or wrong, only multiple parties each negotiating (skillfully or poorly) in their own interests.

I'm not privy to the extent of the conversations with the vendor, I came in with fresh eyes and found a solution. The writeup was just musing on the process that let it get to that point from my perspective.

Your final issue is not a risk in this case, because we still are validating the coupons. This was a frontend fix, and we obviously don't trust any data coming from the frontend.

> and the vast minority of state school students are equally as capable

OK but I don't think anyone would say I'm even close, since I didn't even get into any top schools (somehow people only talk about the few that got into top schools but didn't go. Seems like everyone got into at least one top school but me). What do I do? Where does that leave me?

> After maybe 10 years into your career what school you went to matters almost not at all, and it’s entirely based on what you did with that opportunity.

I don't know. I'm 5 years out and I'm just an SDE2/mid-level. Harvard CS (and yes I'm including that in the upper echelon with MIT and Stanford regardless of rankings because education isn't what's really rendered at these institutions as the original post argues) graduates from 2018/2017 are all staff and senior engineers at Google and FB making $200k more than me at minimum, or have YC funding because they were Senior engineers at Facebook years ago.

> and it’s up to you to make a stronger resume if it matters to you.

I'm genuinely unsure if that's even possible. I don't think anybody in this tier of humanity would consider a career that started with 3 years at Amazon good enough to differentiate me from anyone else.

> What should matter is if you’re happy with what you’re doing yourself

Why would I be happy if I'm going to be "behind" for the rest of my life, no matter how much effort I exert, and I'm going to be seen as lesser for it?
But not too busy to read the comments!
You've lost the plot. matheusmoreira said they have a billion dollars but they're cutting back on development to focus on agenda spending. You disputed this, but a few comments later concede that they've deprioritized development because:

> "They could spend a billion dollars on making the best browser the world has ever seen and it would still be used by next to no-one"

And increased agenda spending because:

> So they've clearly decided to expand their mission to protect the web. Ensuring AI is used ethically strikes me as relevant to the topic, a little too much like chasing buzzwords to my taste but it's clearly an area of current interest. And hey, maybe a few more people will learn about the Mozilla brand and consider converting to Firefox some day."

You've as much admitted that matheusmoreira is completely right.

Right back at you, buddy. Did I call you shitty? Not until now, to throw your insult back at you.

base64 inline your image with the HTML and you should be well past that threshold.

It's preferable to not make additional requests (like for an image) on an error page - in case the requested server is at fault - breaking the error page.
Is there a problem with the name being similar, as long as it doesn't use the trademarked name?

I understand how "open vagrant" or "vagrant reloaded" would be a violation, but I'm not sure if "vagrunt" would be, unless we think it's close enough to be confused with the original spelling?
I had a similar experience adding new functionality to a web application. It was a simple enough feature that I was able to supply the English myself, but I knew enough not to provide the international copy, even though the only other language we supported was a language I studied in school. I asked the product manager a few times, then created a ticket assigned to them and sent them the link. Meanwhile, my code got reviewed and deployed, behind a feature flag of course.

As soon as they found out the code was deployed, the product manager asked if we could turn on the feature. I reminded them that the reason we supported the other language was that it was a legal requirement for our customers in a certain country. They said turn in on, nobody was going to notice except a big US customer who desperately needed it. So I did.

Within a few hours we had an enraged customer on the phone. Credit to the product manager, they took full responsibility, but the initial response from the founder/head of customer success who took the call was to walk straight to my desk and ask me what the hell I did.
We're extremely lucky in a way. Others civilization like the Etruscans or the Carthaginians which existed during the time of the Roman republic had an extensive literary tradition (according to the Greeks and Romans) but we have no surviving works written in their languages at all.
Awesome, just the answer I was hoping for!
Yeah the "insane pilot error" crashes always get me.

I really beg to differ lol and I imagine many instructors would say the same.

Humans who have never driven before are not capable of driving unsupervised and there are a lot of laws in place to make sure they don't get the chance to.
It looks like the anglosphere or Western world, however you want to frame it, seems to be moving in many troubling directions. It's hard to separate oneself from their moment in time and history and particular vantage point but it does seem we have a growing number of citizens willing (or apathetic enough) to sacrifice a whole bunch of liberty for some promises of security.
> Do you consider most people around you beneath you?

Several of my friends are crypto millionaires who also have higher total compensation than me and they certainly think I'm beneath them. I know a lot of people that got into top schools or have higher SATs/more "merit" than me. I'm probably the person with the least merit in my social circle.
My rule of thumb, design for what you know is a requirement, account for what has an 80% chance of being a requirement (as in, already in the backlog), and ignore the rest. That said, GraphQL is a great way to hedge your bets and make your future as well as current self do less work.
Bob has a wonderful opportunity to channel GigaCorp's deep pockets and penchant for extreme risk aversion towards supporting open source.

I think you might be misunderstanding this page. Bicep's "state file" is actual Azure state. Bicep is a nicer way to write ARM (Azure Resource Manager), which is pretty much an Azure API. if you are familiar with Kubernetes, ARM represents Azure internal state in the same way kubernetes YAML represents actual kubernetes objects stored in the cluster.
the three letter agencys built modern encryption with explicit loopholes. [0] They probably made bitcoin too.

Amazon warns employees who don’t go to the office enough
There is an immense IMMENSE bias towards the idea that if something is vaguely a mental health intervention it must be helping. So much of mental health practice especially outside of pharmaceuticals is well well outside the realm of evidence based medicine.

If a study shows therapy benefits a specific population it given for a specific period of time, it must benefit all people if you go monthly for ten years. The, what is for most people, massive cost of therapy itself in terms of money but also time is treated as if it has no potential for adverse impact.

I’ve been trying to hammer for most people the main cause of poor mental health in the developed world is not lack of access to therapy. It’s poverty.

Ah, its not a term commonly used in neuroscience literatures...probably because what we don't know far outweighs what we do know that its a given that needs no utterance.
Quake 2 and especially the Jailbreak mod were my first big foray into online multiplayer gaming. I was in two clans, one named after the band 311 (had no idea what it even was when they invited me to join because I hung out on their server which had a decent ping), and then later a clan named Atomic Slug Slingers ("ASS", haha, get it?).

It's really too bad that the old ways of independent servers and mods went the way of the dodo. Just the other day for no reason at all I found myself repeating the old guttural "Welcome to GameSpy" voice intro to myself.
I wonder if "spent a year talking to young people" is just a euphemism for "kicked around for a while before going back to work". I know that, at age 25, young people constituted the majority of people I spoke with as well.
I regret getting rid of mine. Harder to find now, or 'pricey' on eBay compared to 10 years ago.

I'll never forget the size of the cpus compared to others at the time. Running them in dual-cpu setups was fun also.
13 years or so ago they gave access to O'Reilly at something like half off, cost around $150-200 IIRC. And that was just O'Reilly. Then that went away. Then they gave free access to a limited set of what O'Reilly offers (my account through my employer has many more books than what they were offering under the previous service). Now they charge $75 for more than they used to give access to. Times change.

O'Reilly (and others) are not owned by ACM, they can't control it they can only influence the contract they get but are still stuck with whatever those orgs agree to. In the same time period they've massively opened up their digital library so now I can share out links to people without them needing access themselves, and content I used to have to pay to access (on top of my membership) is just part of it. That's what they can control, and they've been moving in the right direction there. I have few complaints.
I believe there is a lot of overlap between the transcript of an interview Robert Colwell did [1] with his book The Pentium Chronicles. I've read and liked both. I'm linking to archive.org's copy as the original site appears to be defunct.

The best way to get the elite school benefits as a state school undergraduate is to attend a graduate program at an elite school. The financial ROI on a Yale JD or Harvard MBA will be really strong, and if you want a paid-for program you can do a PhD.
Sounds like in Narrowlink as a proxy passes through all traffic as it's not peer-to-peer? As a home lab with it deployed on a VPS the bandwidth rates/caps could be significant. Granted residential lSP can run into caps as well.
Would spacetime be the medium? Or is spacetime just the language to describe the medium? Again, presupposing there must be a medium.
I don't think I agree. In my experience, being the guy or gal that managers know they can turn to in order to quickly solve problems is a great way to get noticed and get involved in projects that normally you wouldn't be able to.
I think the confusion here is "in space", maybe you can expand on that. Is space itself not the medium? Localization is precisely what prevents backwards causality and is at the basis of relativity, where spacetime is invariant. And from what I understand that's also the source of conflict in the quantum world where that's not necessarily the case, retrocausality is entirely possible, spooky interactions at a distance are entirely possible.

Like the problem of gravity is described by the curvature of spacetime. Does spacetime "exist"? If not it's just a tool, and not an actual observation that maps onto reality. In other words we don't know how gravity actually "works" and interacts or what "spacetime" is, if it is a thing, regardless of how powerful the description is. The description is just a mathematical tool that is very useful, but that's just about it.

"You can still try to define the word, pick something within that description and call it a medium if you like"

Yes... that's how language works. "Spacetime" is mapped onto something. Language is a medium of communication. Spacetime is a medium of interaction/causality. Whether such things "exist" is an epistemic discussion or a discussion for experimentalists. But any medium is just the means by which something occurs or happens. So what is the means by which gravity "happens", or exerts influence on other bodies if not the curvature of "spacetime", which itself hasn't really been established. Does gravity just magically happen?
A similar approach I've been using recently and am so far really, really enjoying is to put all "conversation" into a dedicated "devlog" directory in the project root. We put everything in it: meeting notes, project status updates, memos, changelogs for every pull request, reviews, etc. Every file is markdown and named with a date prefix, a "nonce" for uniqueness, and a category (date.nonce.category.md). So you might have something like:

- 2023-08-10.00.notes.md
- 2023-08-10.01.notes.md
- 2023-08-11.00.changelog.md
- 2023-08-11.01.changelog.md
- 2023-08-11.00.review.md
- 2023-08-11.01.review.md
- 2023-08-11.02.review.md
- 2023-08-11.00.project.md

The file naming includes a small amount of ambiguity and a small opportunity for merge conflicts but in practice it's just not a problem. The best part of this workflow IMO is that it doesn't create a whole new workflow for communication, it treats high-quality async communication as part of the core (pull, read, commit, push, review) development workflow.
What does the sentence you quoted even mean? This reads like a rough first draft that needs to be clarified. I don't get it at all.

The reverse ought to be a risk to manage as well.

Amazon is now large enough that they compete or think about competing in every profitable vertical out there.

If you're an enterprise in a profitable market, amazon's a competitor now or will be soon.
Only some of the providers are based on Terraform. I think it would be incorrect to say it's "powered by Terraform."

From what I read in the PDF, the analysis is very debatable (with The Register putting forward mostly the nonsensical allegations).

Disclosure: I work on satellite design and in the recent years on a program that is part of the NewSpace. I have an intimate knowledge of how what I help design works but a limited knowledge of what others may be doing.

A couple of insights:

* I started working on satellites in a large industrial group where, while not being handled by world class cybersecurity experts, secure communications with the satellites rely on a sane use of proven encryption protocols

* I am not sure when this level of security became standard and what was done to secure the satellites before hardware-level encryption with modern algorithms became available

* I was astounded when I discovered the level of casualness for everything related to security on scientific satellite projects, with even recent projects led by major agencies considering that always encrypting command and monitoring is overkill

And my main grip is that the study relies on asking universities that have the lowest bar in terms of caring about security (they already struggle enough to build a working thing) and then extrapolating from a specious argument that it must be worse on commercial spacecrafts.

> One surprising result was that the larger the satellite, the more vulnerable it was. Larger machinery typically used more commercial off-the-shelf components and was thus more vulnerable since the code base was public, whereas smaller CubeSats tended to use custom code.

Also

> a satellite should be designed so that TCs do not compromise the satellite’s stability without further validation

Says who ? What validation ? If an operator had the right to have a telecommand sent to the satellite, who or what aboard the satellite should decide if this telecommand was legitimate.

From experience, there is a myriad of things that you think are usually not a good idea to make your satellite do and then, when you need it as a workaround or mitigation for an unexpected condition, you are happy you have not implemented a list of authorized actions that is too constrained.

PS: It reminds me of the guy that was able to capture the GPS coordinates of an airplane broadcasted to the In-Flight Entertainment systems and got a lot of press coverage by extrapolating that it meant he could also take control of the aircraft from his seat in the cabin.
There's a few clunky bits but I hardly ever run into them.

Actually since this conversation is going, here's something I just learned this week that somebody might find helpful. I used to consider enums one of the clunky bits, but I just ran across the `keyof` operator:

var modeNames = { FOO: 1, BAR: 2 }

/** @param {keyof modeNames} mode */
export function doThing(mode) {
// the jsdoc type above is equivalent to {'FOO'|'BAR'}
}

Probably old hat to TS people, but since I came at it from the other direction (I'd been using JSDoc for traditional doc-creation reasons before I realized VSCode could use it for linting and type hints) it was news to me.
