It's like a schoolboy calling their teacher a Nazi for putting them on detention. There's an abstract point of comparison (authoritarian behavior), but the differences in scale, severity and underling motivation are so vast that the comparison is absurd. If someone seriously wants to argue against this particular form of affirmative action – and knows what South African Apartheid actually was – then they don't make this comparison.

(Similarly, if you think a teacher is being too authoritarian with their students, you won't make your case any more convincing by making comparisons with crazed dictators.)

>PHP is interpreted and Elixir is compiled. Comparing them to Ruby and Python make no sense as they are interpreted as well.

The metric is speed. Compiled vs interpreted is an implementation concern.

You can be compiled and slower than interpreted (and vice versa).

>The fact that Elixir, a compiled language, known for speed

Elixir is not compiled into binary. It's compiled to bytecode for the BEAM vm.

And Elixir was never known for speed, nor was Erlang. They are known for parallelism, availability, fault tolerance, smart schedulling, etc.
Verbatim this is the same things people said in early 00's about people testing XSS et al. against poorly coded PHP/Perl sites.
Only at a very superficial level.
I find your comparison a little too blunt, too rough and lacking in complexity, but ultimately the comparison of politic and psychology is a valuable one in literature. For example, Deleuze and Guattari's Thousand Plateaus explores this relation through a poetic, philosophical lens. As analytic philosopher and radical psychiatrist, these two synthesize a response to Freudian [more specifically, Lacanian] mode of thought. I assure you that this topic is old ground, and that this pair's writings on it paved the way for a larger positivist response to the problems discussed in this thread.
Whatever floats your boat :)

Factually wrong take. Mein Kampf was never "banned", in fact, there is no such thing as book bans under German law, as there is no censorship - article 5 of the Basic Law explicitly says so. The state can make it illegal to sell and advertise media to minors if it is considered dangerous, and Mein Kampf is and always was on that list.

The reason Mein Kampf could not be distributed until a few years ago is because after Hitler's death, the copyright on Mein Kampf fell to the state of Bavaria (for convoluted reasons), and Bavaria just never reprinted it, nor gave license to reprint it. Therefore, any copying of the book was piracy and was prosecuted under piracy laws. Because German copyright ends 70 years after the death of the author, this no longer applies, and the book can be printed and distributed again.

Note that public distribution of the book for nazi propaganda purposes is still banned under German hate speech laws ("Volksverhetzung") - not because it is this particular book, but because all nazi propaganda in public is blanket banned. This is why the now-released official Bavarian-government-approved copy of Mein Kampf contains additional commentary by historians to situate Hitler's remarks in historic context.
The goal is to print with a computer something like a late 15th century humanist document, a tradition of typography 500 years old, and not to print on a 200x320 screen, which had a tradition of merely a decade.

The early computer age of the 80s and 90s was merely playing catch-up to established standards. The standards of the 80s and 90s are not what we wanted to achieve ultimately.

Same with cinema: We shot on 4K-equivalent film for the past 100 years, only in the 80s and 90s with the computerization and videotapes we had a temporary standard of 480i, which we have overcome with sheer computer power, and we’re back to where we actually wanted to be in the beginning.

Philippine environmentalists: oppose Japan's push to discharge nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, not to let the ocean become a dumping ground

Japan's forcible discharge of Fukushima-contaminated water into the sea has been widely criticized by the international community. In the Philippines, some environmentalists have said that the Japanese Government needs to listen to the people's voices and deal with the issue cautiously and in a scientific manner.
Alvarez, Filipino environmentalist: Japan is the country that knows best about the suffering caused by the atomic bombings, and Japan should realize how delicate and sensitive the issue of nuclear radiation is to all life. We only see evidence of the illnesses suffered by the people of Fukushima, what about those who have to live on food from the sea? Their health is at risk, and it could even be life-threatening. Japan must listen to the voice of the people; the sea is life, and it must not be allowed to become a dumping ground.
Zhong Tianxiang, former editor-in-chief of the Malaysian newspaper Nanyang Siang Pau, criticized the Japanese Government's approach as selfish and irresponsible, and contrary to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Mr. Zhong Tianxiang, former Editor-in-Chief of the Nanyang Siang Pau (Malaysia): The decision of the Japanese Government to discharge nuclear contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea, despite strong objections and questions from the international community, is totally irresponsible. This kind of behavior is very selfish. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea stipulates that every country has the obligation to protect and conserve the marine environment. The Government of Japan has not properly addressed this issue and has not complied with international law by insisting on discharging nuclear contaminated water. Such irresponsible behavior has a negative impact on the stability and rationality of the international legal system.
Very badly, this is the polar opposite design of a GPU.

It does share the latency-hiding-by-parallelism design, but GPUs do that scheduling on a pretty coarse granularity (viz. warp). The barrel processors on this thing round-robin through each instruction.

GPUs are designed for dense compute: lots of predictable data accesses and control flow, high arithmetic intensity FLOPS.

In contrast, this is designed for lots of data-dependent unpredictable accesses at the 4-8B granularity with little to no FLOPS.
> He’s done this exact game before, commoditize your complements.

I would not argue with your previous points (I would be a very unlikely defender of Zuck's worldview :-) but this last one takes some discussion. It is years after pytorch (mentioned in the article as the google/tensorflow competitor) was released and its not clear which complement has been commoditized, if any. Tensorflow is also open source so it cannot be further commoditized. The main entities affected by the rapid development of open source ML platforms are niche proprietary vendors of algorithmic tools - hardly Meta's complement.

People have advanced various reasons (keeping internal staff happy, attracting talent, buying good will etc) but releasing various AI tools in order to ensure "continuing commercial dominance in adtech" would be a very long game indeed. Happy to be enlightened if somebody can connect the dots deep into the future.

An annual physical is typically covered, and he did used a tax free savings account tied to his insurance to pay for this.

I'm not sure why insurance would fully cover some sort of extra-thourough physical, when there have been studies suggesting the normal annual physicals show no benefit for younger people.

The example is even more contrived because it assumes all systems have terrible sandboxing like Windows and Linux.

Any system competently designed for robust sandboxing would have limits for all resources and reject requests when the limit is reached.
> I still haven't actually done it yet, but someday I want to rename that call to log.PageEntireDevTeamAt3AM() and see what happens to log quality..

The second best thing (after adding metrics collection) we did as a dev team was forcing our way into the on-call rotation for our application. Now instead of grumpy sysops telling us how bad our application was (because they had to get up in the night to restart services and what not) but not giving us any clue to go on to fix the problems, we could do triage as the issues where occurring and actually fix the issues. Now with mandate from our manager because those on-call hours where coming from our budget. We went from multiple on-call issues a week to me gladly taking weeks of on-call rotation at a time because I knew nothing bad was gonna happen. Unless netops did a patch round for their equipment which they always seem to forget to tell us about.
Purely my anecdotal experience:

Everything tends to waterfall because the natural human "thing" is to create a process which can be repeated to ensure success / quality / <thing deemed good>. If Agile thing worked, let's package it up into something repeatable and follow that to the letter... Oh, waterfall.

Agile requires constantly working against that, which is hard, because Managers want and love safe and predictable and measurable against something concrete.

Make a framework rather than a process, but that's a fine line.

Agile ultimately needs trust in the team to be able to think on their feet for every scenario coming into their board. I'm my experience this trust either didn't exist, or is treated as a second class citizen to said safe, predicable, measurable, repeatable process.

And I don't believe necessarily that Agile is the be all and end all.
Hah, right, I see what you mean. It is oddly well done for what is really just a bit of riffing on an old movie. And to be fair that Pumaman episode is as old as I am. I watched the whole thing in the past couple of days though and quite enjoyed it. Will have a look for the other ones you mention as well. And then maybe just start from the beginning.

Good stuff, thanks for mentioning it!
The paradox of tolerance is about "unlimited tolerance" which already isn't a thing. We have exemptions to the first amendment for words that rise to the level of incitement of violence.

The author of that paradox also states:
"I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise." He only recommends such an extreme action when all else has failed and we're up against "fists and pistols".

I have yet to hear an argument for genocide that can't be countered by rational argument. When hate groups commit acts of violence (not just acts of speech), the US is certainly not sitting around tolerating that. We don't need to fear words. In fact, I much prefer it when racists make themselves known by their words rather than their actions.

> All monitors will process the digital codes corresponding to standard color spaces to generate the appropriate values needed to command their specific pixels in order to reproduce a color as close as possible to what is specified by the standard color space.

This is overly optimistic. It has gotten better lately but most monitors aren't calibrated as well as they could but. And not that long ago the RGB signals were directly mapped to the monitors colors.

Acceptable censorship is of no consequence to a conversation about censorship?
Ask HN: What should be the minimum wage in the Bay Area for affordable housing?
so that regular people can afford housing in the Bay area.

How much does the average home cost in the Bay Area?

About a million dollars

How much do you need to get a million dollar loan?

For a $1 million home, a 20% down payment would be $200,000.

How many hours is it legal to work per year in the bay area?

35 hours/week * 52 weeks/year = 1,820 hours/year

What should be the minimum wage then?

$200,000 / 1,820 hours = approximately $109.89 per hour

Can you explain the flaws in my reasoning?

Same in The Netherlands. In the last year I’ve seen several micropenis-compensating huge RAM and Ford pick-ups appearing in my neighborhood. They don’t fit a standard parking spot. For small businesses they carry less than something like a Ford transit. Horrible noise. Terrible visibility from the wheel. Terrible fuel economy. I’m severely hoping that our government imposes a 1000% tax on them or something.
Conceptually, there is no special difference between a remotely exploitable vulnerability in an HTTP server and a remotely exploitable vulnerability in a BGP router. It would have been theoretically possible to have dealt with log4shell by blocking every IP address that was sending malicious payloads, for instance.

Practically, I accept that there is a real difference. ASNs are much harder to acquire than IP addresses, and there are far fewer of them. That difference might mean that blocking continues to be an effective mechanism. However, in a world where malicious actors are increasingly just nation states wearing a flimsy mask, I'm not sure that the difficulty of getting access to sufficient numbers of ASNs is going to be a forever mitigation.

The main thing I have taken away from this thread is that when it comes to vulnerability management, network operators seem to be pretty far behind the curve in mindset terms. The arguments being made in here ("you can't break other people's stuff", "we have a lot of boxes and SLAs mean we can't patch quickly") aren't even slightly new. The well-proven reality is that threat actors don't give one single shit about any of that.

This is the real problem: if you did the same transactions in Bitcoin, that doesn't free you from the KYC/AML obligations. It just hides the fact that you're not checking.
> That’s what must happen here. The cops and the courts should be working to protect the victims of KF and go after the perpetrators with every legal tool at their disposal. We should be giving them the resources and societal mandate to do so. Solid enforcement of existing laws is something that has been sorely lacking for harassment and abuse online, and it’s one of the reasons people turn to censorship strategies. Finally, we should enact strong data privacy laws that target, among others, the data brokers whose services help enable doxxing.

But the authorities and the justice system seem unwilling to do so, and - in the face of their refusal to act - you can't expect people to just give up and not defend themselves, not when they can exert other forms of pressure.
I am dead sure it is about illegal things based on their phrasing. The kind of things that don't even appear on Zoom's Wikipedia even though Zoom is/was used for the same per documented evidence. Companies won't mention it because it's very bad publicity and other people won't pursue it because it's 2PTSD (or for some 1PTSD) material.

Your comment is phrased like those things are not a big deal?

> There's kind of a limit to how much you can do illegally on a video feed. Nevermind that whatever you would be doing would be recorded and streamed to whoever popped into the anonymous room.

Criminals probably are aware that some of their customers would be cops after somebody got arrested for doing it over Zoom and they probably learned to do it without revealing identifiable details.

And how would viewers pop in into a random room? There's no directory. They have a link that they paid for. And no, they wouldn't share this link with random people online.
Quite a lot of opinions get suppressed over here, and rightly so. You can see a lot of flagged comments in hot threads.

I grew up with unrestricted access to internet as a child, browsed a lot of forums, and most of them were always heavily moderated as well. The thing is, the majority of audience (read-only people) don’t want to see extremely stupid content (subjective). Thus the mods, host and etc. have to play the balancing game. HN is one of those places, and they’re doing a terrific job, in my opinion.

I’m not sure how to put it into words, but Internet is not the same as public free speech. Anonymity, physical distance, not seeing others’ faces contribute to the way people talk. I completely support the former kind, but not the latter. It just becomes a breeding ground for a lot of naive people who start thinking that’s tolerable to act that way in real world too (can’t cite any sources, just observations from my nephews and others kids I know). We like to tout how everyone forms their own opinions, but I’m a heavy believer of the “nurture” side of the debate. If you get sucked into one corner of the Internet, you will start hating the other corner, and that’s basically your nurturing. I guess, the major question is, should we keep fostering this behaviour or not? And I don’t know the answer, as there isn’t “one right corner” most of the time. The best I can do is to support the crackdown on extremely obvious shitty behaviour knowing that’s against the free speech ethos.

The way I see it, you have two routes:

- Accept reality and the fact that this is a crude subject. Use psychological tools to feel less weird over time (ie get a lot of exposure to the stuff that you find unsettling). You might succeed, or you might have to accept that this career is not for you.

- Create your own story about the body parts you need to work with. The guy at the kebab shop doesn't think of a lovely cute lamb having a happy life when going to work. He just sees delicious pieces of meat glued together in a nice roll that people love to eat. Could you do the same? Ie if you need to open a leg in surgery, you don't need to think of a person. That's just a leg, you could amputate it and there's still a person left.

I'm not religious and I do believe we humans are glorified pieces of meat. I'm fine with that but still feel unsettled by some bodily stuff.

For example, I have leukemia and I have to go through bone marrow biopsies. I kindly ask the nurses NOT to show me the gigantic piercing devices and I avoid learning how the process works in detail. As far as I'm concerned, a bone marrow biopsy is a small pinch (anesthesia), followed by some discomfort and cold sweating for 10-15 mins. I distract my mind and think about something else (ceiling of the room, the view, my own breathe, etc).

Deep inside, I know they stick something all the way to my hip bones and extract liquid inside, but I refuse to let that reality disrupt my peace of mind. If I start thinking about the process in detail I wouldn't be as comfortable as I am when doing one of those.
I thought we were talking about PSD2, which the European Parliament adopted in 2015. I recall many startups were launched specifically to capitalise on new opportunities provided by PSD2, so I find your comment confusing.

Waterfall is the default resting state of software development same as how _v3_final_FINAL_newedits_Finalv4_revised.doc is the default resting state of version control. It takes active energy to move away from that state and things inevitably drift back towards it without continued application of discipline.
