The title of the book is not provocative and even if it was, the guideline is there precisely because it is an issue for a messageboard with HN's aspirations. If you think escalation of yelliness is good thing for a forum, that's fine but HN is not such a forum and explicitly doesn't work like that.
Not sure about others, but I'm loosing trust from this experience.
Never, at least that I've noticed. I guess it'd be hard to tell if I missed any doorbell rings technically.
> But all IDEs and github condense empty directories together, so it's not that bothersome.

Yes in most tools that's quite transparent. Every once in a while I use the GitHub mobile app (which is not doing that), I'm reminded how bothersome it is.
I think Taylor Swift is a unique case. Not unrepeatable, just currently unique.

For one she is genuinely talented. Many pretty singers are in fact terrible song writers and mediocre musicians. Their hits are often written by middle aged men, occasionally middle aged women, and rarely themselves and pulled from fake books.

Taylor Swift can write music, sing, dance, and even play her music so she is in rare company with those talents. It helps her a great deal she is attractive. There's plenty of talented women in music that aren't/haven't been as successful because they aren't "pretty".

The second part of her uniqueness is she came up in an age of peak media saturation and peak ease of distribution. When Taylor Swift started the Internet was already big and she had a significant online following. iTunes ascension was also happening so she could easily sell to people only wanting singles rather than whole CDs which maximized her sales under the price/demand curve. P2P file trading was also prominent so she got even more space under the price/demand curve.

The third part of her uniqueness is her age. She's positioned right between Millennials and Gen Z which are both pretty large demographic cohorts. Even her early work was fairly mature (considering her biological age) so it didn't just appeal to people her age. If she was ten years older I don't think she'd have her current level of impact, it would be significant but might not straddle generations so she'd have far fewer younger fans.

The situation in the 50s and 60s was very different. Distribution was harder and more expensive, there were fewer radio stations, and music on TV was very limited. Not to mention just fewer radios and TVs. A household might have one of each but it wouldn't be until the later 60s you might expect a teenager to have their own record player or radio in their bedroom.

By the time of Taylor Swift it would be uncommon for a middle class teenager to not have at least their own radio. A non-trivial segment had their own computers by then so could easily access Taylor Swift's online presence, fan-based or direct.

So I'm not sure her appeal to multiple age brackets being the overall industry coming full circle but instead some unique factors of Taylor Swift individually.

Sure it does. Higher median income in a given area means the costs of nearly everything go up comparably. Look at the cost of living in a place with a six-figure median income and compare that to the cost of living somewhere with a $30k median income.

The students have to live there so the cost of living is what matters, not trying to make it look marginally (and artificially) better by excluding people who earn more because they're old.

I am a tab hoarder, and on multiple different operating systems, with different installs, etc.

Firefox ALWAYS seems to have random leaks after weeks that other browsers don't have, once I saw Firefox taking 24GBs of RAM, while Edge and Brave on the same or more tabs and time were taking only ~2-3gb of RAM.

This has been going on since at least 2019-2020 or so, when I started dropping Firefox because of this behavior. It is just random websites that seem to cause leaks but this has never happened with Edge or Brave and no website should really be breaking a browser like this, the system becomes unusable after a while.

They are seemingly unable to fix the issue or pretend it doesn't exist even when its reported so I basically had to stop using FF as my main browser.
Imagine a future CTO trying to pick the IaC tools for their company. They see Terraform as an option, but then learn there are multiple forks, licensing questions, and a big battle happening in the community. What do they do?

I truly believe that a CTO who sees Terraform as an option and who isn't scared off by the BSL, but then has all of these other concerns, exists only in fantasy.
Globalization is in retreat, so these companies now aren't growing by expanding their markets but by eating consumer surplus.
Can you show me where in the comment some one called someone else racist?

Otherwise, it seems like you are projecting yourself onto the Belgium Congo being identified as racist, which is just like a "Well yeah duh" level of racism. It seems like you are angry that the Belgium Congo was identified as a racist enterprise, which even by their own accounts is objectively true. So do you self identify with the Belgium Congo?
> So you think secretive measures more often defeat spammers than trusting users?

Yes. And it's really not a close question.

"Regular users" don't have to be platform experts and learn tricks and stuff. They just post normal links and comments and never run into moderation at all.
Google massively advertised Chrome at the start with banners on Gmail, Search,... telling you you should download it.

Powerusers don't shift the market.
We're all adults here

well, that is under dispute. if we were, then we would not have to deal with spam.
They're similar because they are both written by humans looking to project meaning into the page/screen. You're analyzing the authors intentions and perspective, not just what was written.
Aren’t they easy to port? There’s a list of the differences.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...

For example, Chromium uses chrome namespace while Firefox uses browser NS. FF already has something called chrome that’s older than chromium and probably conflicts with it. That’s the key difference.

Anyway, what are the worthwhile chrome addons that aren’t on FF?
It could very well be detrimental to release the list. More transparency does not necessarily mean better. Not everyone is an adult, not every adult behaves like an adult. As an adult myself, I have not seen mod behavior that would lead me to believe that there is some sordid conspiracy. Let alone start demanding this place start publishing their private lists that make this corner of the internet not a hellscape.
Yes, this is the "consumer grade" version of this that doesn't require any ESP programming or whatever. Easy and simple, integrates with other hubs just fine. Brilliant.

Me also! Though I have tried to avoid it, somehow I get to be admin for many many years!

And I'm feeling HN's position, even though I occasionally trip some of the mechanisms here.
Can ChatGPT become a content moderator?
Yes, and hopefully we can use that kind of mechanism to allocate 240/4 in a way that achieves very high utilization.
Didn't know this, thanks!
Nothing. Paypal is corrupt as hell and will gladly steal people's money without reason or chance to respond.
I've just updated a codebase from Django 3 to 4, about to do another one. It took very little time, with 0 breaking code changes and a mandatory postgres update to 12+.

Even going from pandas 1->2 and celery major version bump (5, I think) caused 0 problems. Mature codebases like these tend to be careful about backwards compatibility.
Not a terrible idea at all to have a high vis jacket in your car in the US. They can be non-yellow if we want to avoid the association. If we're picking up good ideas from other countries I think North America could benefit from requiring Koreisha marks ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kōreisha_mark) too.
I don't know where you are from but you seem very biased to your own friend or country bubble. For reference I don't know anyone at all who use WhatsApp. I use Google Chat and Facebook Messenger with a few but SMS with Google's RCS with everyone else, including my younger and much older family members.
Terraform core is kinda crappy. The language is awful, and the module infrastructure sucks.

I would support (with my own money) a fork that would re-use the Terraform providers, and reimplement the language as something not so insane.
One of the biggest problem I see with surveillance is not the breach of privacy, but incompetence.

See, I live in Pakistan, where we have mandatory ID cards that are required for anything, and the data of which has been leaked, and where you literally don't have a right to privacy, or any other rights, for that matter.

So I have no delusion that I have any privacy whatsoever from the government, and frankly I damn care because, after all, it's not like I've done or said anything wrong, I self-censor myself quite strictly.

What I fear are mistakes in data collection.

Sometime ago, I went to get a copy of my "family tree" (a legal document) upon the passing of my late father, and discovered that by mistake some other people's data had been linked to the same family tree as ours (some typo in the family tree ID field, the rest of the data was clearly distinct).

Imagine the consequence had I not asked them to correct this, from inheritance issues, to being picked up by the secret police because some "supposed" family member had done something and they check the database, discover I am "linked" and question me about my none-existent sibling.

The fact that I have nothing to hide would be little solace as the police perform rubber-hose decryption on me.

Worse yet, with the data breaches, my (outdated) data being in the darknet means loan sharks using it can come harass me for any debts my supposed relative took.

There are so many reasons why data security/privacy matters, none of which have to do with hiding anything.

I still fear any new additions or deletions in the database since then, but I can't keep going to the HQ and asking to verify my data every day.

This is a straw man argument. The issue isn't the potential presence of moderation, but the potential lack of transparency and the problems that could bring.

Good systems are designed to work by taking into account human weaknesses. The current HN system doesn't do this.
What is the "very defined meaning" that you're thinking of?

The one that I think makes the most clear sense is "censorship" by a state power. But you must be thinking of something different, because HN is not a state power.

Ask HN: Associate Product Manager: Entry-Level or Low-Balling Experienced PMs?
I was an educator for ten years before transitioning into a Solutions Architect role at a tech consultancy. This position had allowed to me to interview/analyze/build workflow and process solutions for a wide variety of tech industry clients - and product management has grabbed my attention as a future good fit.

Reviewing APM postings, it appears the positions may be 1) actual entry level PM positions intended to develop skills/increase scope, 2) PM positions intended for internal transfers, and 3) faux-associate positions expecting PM levels of experience/skills/tech depth (and, hence, created to potential low-ball former PMs).

Is targeting APM positions as an on-ramp into PM work worth the squeeze?

Are these not true entry-level positions?

Is the PM scene so competitive that PMs would slash their comp to apply (and be accepted into) APM positions?
Specific implementations, errors, and data-loss associated with those wear-leveling algorithms change every new firmware version of drives.

Each generation adds new features to the SSD firmware that I don't necessarily need, that will change wear-leveling (and other such details).

Then 6 months later, we learn that Sandisk Extreme was the drive with the messed up firmware. Or the "Slow Reads" from the Samsung 840.
Lipitor and Xanax don't even have a fluoride atom, how can they be PFAS?
>I think it's a good thing that gambling has been legalized and brought out the shadows.

Why? It has increased the transfer of wealth from the poor to the wealthy and heightened poverty while providing nothing of value you can't get from a game that's not for stakes.

What social problems was underground betting actually causing? Was there actually some huge strain on police resources? Is it really a god thing that instead of a small number of gamblers being bankrupted by some shady characters, a much larger number are bankrupted by Disney? At least loan sharks and thugs put more money back into the local economy and small businesses.
This is a good description of the Yubikey advantage. However, now that Authenticator apps are making it easier (and less secure) for you to move your secrets to new devices, this only underscores your need to register at least two Yubikeys in each place where you use TOTP, and don't forget those paper backup codes as well.

TOTP (and other) secrets will never come out of a Yubikey once they've been sent into it. And I like it that way.
From what I've learned here on HN someone who thinks that "free speech" is absolute - their right to free speech outshines the personal rights of others. So instead of discussing where my rights end and your rights start, they will argue that no line should be drawn.

In addition, from what I understand, they seem to think that democracy is a consequence of "free speech", not the other way around.
Microsoft Teams doesn't convert markdown pasted in either.
It used to do code blocks pretty nicely. I don't know if they've removed that functionality, but I can't get it to trigger anymore.
Glenn Greenwald really went off the deep end.

In retrospect, Sam Harris nailed him down exactly right from day one. (paraphrasing) "Glenn Greenwald didn't do great journalistic work on his own merit. Glenn Greenwald is just the guy that Snowden happened to choose". Hopefully it should be obvious to everyone now that Glenn Greenwald didn't do anything of merit before or since, but I find it remarkable that Sam Harris managed to have the foresight to make this comment shortly after the Snowden leaks.
If compensation is the primary factor in causing an employee to start looking for a new job that they ultimately take, a counteroffer can make them rethink their decision. However, if there are other factors that are distressing them, then a counteroffer may keep them awhile but if the other factors are still there, it won't necessarily keep them longer.
They absolutely are, there are only slight differences in APIs. It was the entire point of killing their old APIs and starting from scratch.

You can upload a .crx (Chrome's extension format) to https://www.extensiontest.com/ to check its compatibility with Firefox, most of the time it will be (or require very minimal changes).

The distribution is not compatible. Extension developers still have to upload and support their extension in a completely different store, which is where Firefox deviates from other Chromium-based browsers.
I read code for fun sometimes, but it's usually not whole codebases. I like to read PRs that I think are exciting in projects that I use, and then branch out to the context that they're invoking or changing as well.

I've never thought of it as something I do to advance myself as a programmer, though. I just kinda do it on impulse, and I'd still do it even if I found out it didn't really improve my skills.

Anyone else recreationally browse PRs in F/OSS that they use, kinda like reading the news?
Yes, the brands they own that don't have good multipliers seem like they're starting to slow them down. Stuff like Marvel and Star Wars integrate into their system extremely well.

ESPN is odd because it is a multiplier on its own, but doesn't really seem to generate any money outside of advertising. The sports teams and their own live events benefit from the ESPN system though. I don't know who would buy that brand, it made the most sense as its own cash cow.

Personally I've seen Disney weather many storms in the past, they have pushed out a lot of stinkers and have even had long periods of duds. But their back catalog and branding always remained strong. Disneyland will probably continue to make profitable returns and continue to be a destination. And honestly they may have just focused on the wrong things when it came to streaming, its possible it'll rally with a different focus, like something that strengthens their brand in the long run. I guess I don't really see Disney declining in the wrong run as long as they can make adjustments and play to their strengths again, while ditching the stuff that is weighing them down.
> death knell of Trident (the IE engine)

Nitpick, but the Edge name signaled the switch to the ground up rewrite Spartan engine. Trident is still sort of alive in its zombie corporate state in the Windows backwards compatibility swamp. Trident was still maintained for backward compatibility (and still exists in IE Mode in Chromium Edge), but Edge was always Spartan and it is Spartan that is dead (RIP).

X is now an attractive free-speech platform.
It's hard to say what I mean exactly, because I don't know what I will need to make my program fast, but I know I want the ability to adapt and control low level details. That would include memory layout and allocation, and skipping potential safety checks if I can prove my code works, beyond what the type system and compiler can prove.

I had some Swift code a while back. It was optimized, but when I rewrote it in C++ it got a lot faster. Something bad was happening that wasn't "visible in the code", as you said. The code was pretty complex algorithm and data structure stuff related to computational geometry and computer graphics. I suspect if I tried it in Rust I'd be fighting with the borrow checker and that is not appealing.
It's about putting enough roadblocks in the lane that the spammers just decide to use another road.

I took it to mean "I understand the St Petersburg Paradox, but I think I have a way out".

Which is actually why it's both intelligent and dumb at once. You have to have done some reading in your life to understand this thing. As someone who did well at math and worked in trading, he would have come across it. But it's also unwise because actually lots of other people have also studied it for a long time, and they are not declaring victory.
> Unicast MAC table space is scarce, too, and suffers the same failure modes when filled.

Yup.

> You don't see people claiming this makes IPv4 over Ethernet infeasible

Actually, people DO claim that. Flat Ethernet doesn't scale, and you need to use routing to break up broadcast domains.
FWIW, the cats/zio split has historically seen a lot of contentiousness and hostile feelings both ways, for reasons unrelated to their technical differences, so I would take anything negative one side says about the other with a bigger dose of skepticism than usual.
They are a bit of an "offline" network, in a way.
>It could very well be detrimental to release the list.

I guess we'll never know, right?
I've worked for three companies now that went to hashicorp to buy TFE and left with a quote equal to a quarter or more of revenue and the sales rep acting like they are the second coming and obviously we are stupid for not thinking they bring that much value to our org. No org invests 1/4 of their revenue on a single tool. So we used atlantis or spacelift or hand rolled GHA scripts and saved a fortune.

We are trying to pay them and they are being so unreasonable with pricing that we can't give them our money
> Postwar US Uranium mines in Arizona and Utah also used Dine (Navajo) and other native peoples with similar levels of racism, exploitation, leaving thousands of people sick etc.

Not exactly just exploiting minorities. My grandpa died because he mined Uranium post-war, but he was white and afaik so was everyone he worked with.
Samsung Internet is actually a shockingly good browser for Android, with native adblocking and dark mode for websites (that isn't atrociously slow like Dark Reader on FF)
Except there's no way to export your bookmarks on android out of Firefox without using their sync service. I think this omission (a simple export!) speaks volumes about Mozilla's true goal of browser lock-in and another example of their chronic mismanagement.
I think what's equally as important as the archiving is the aggregating of the information. It's one thing to have a story, or piece of content documented somewhere, but at the end of the day, people still need ways to find it.

I think that's where social, discussion based platforms come in. I'm a huge hip-hop fan and have been running a page dedicated to giving people a space to discuss and share all things hip-hop.

The subtitle of the article is "A mine in the Northwest Territories provided much of the uranium used during the Manhattan Project—unbeknownst to the indigenous people who worked there." So broader commentary on uranium mining in other places using indigenous peoples is relevant and using history to compare to modern day is relevant.
