Judg: Disruptive social network iOS
Hello everyone ,

Let me introduce myself. My name is Amaury De Buyser I'm a 20 year old Belgian and I've just launched my social network "Judg" on iOs. :)

DL : http://go.judg.it

We are alive since the 19th of May. Press link :

What makes Judg unique ?

-On Judg the content quality is higher than on Instagram due to our voting system. Today people are leaving Facebook because of the poor quality of the feed content.

-We finally give our users the opportunity to say « I don’t like this post » with our rating system. For a long time, Facebook users have been asking for this feature and we have found the perfect way to give it to them without the mean aspect. Mark Zuckerberg said in December 2014 that he wouldn't allow the dislike because he thought people would be mean to each other. Judg is the proof it wasn't true.

-Judg is fun and less serious than its competitors. It's a game and it's rewarding.

Funny facts about Judg:

• Judg is the result of a strong teamwork but also a family work. Indeed, all the founders are coming from the same family. What better way to build trust and cohesion within your team?

• We almost lost hope when Apple rejected our App. The reason? “Your app includes features, such as rating other users, that can result in mean-spirited content”. What!? That’s our entire concept questioned here! Phew… after removing the category “Selfies” (because it targets people too much) they finally accepted it.

Thanks for reading !

Yes, I see your point.

I was responding to the specifics of the parent comment -- the suggestion to build reservoirs and lakes, which are necessarily large cost, time-consuming, high-impact, often high-maintenance, logistically challenging activities in comparison to, for example, simpler methods of improving temporary slowing and long-term infiltration and holding capacity features of soils.

I'm thinking of very effective but definitely small scale activities -- one or two people with a small dozer or bobcat over a few days -- to install contour or keyline swales and bunds, erect fencing to exclude wild animals or livestock from sensitive areas, re-seeding / re-planting with more appropriate species, and so on.

I guess it's a semantic question at some point -- but I think that because you _can_ apply these activities over an entire region doesn't necessarily make it a massive terraforming project, nor more importantly does it necessarily need to be.

Massive projects engender feelings of helplessness and a kind of 'responsibility abrogation' for many individuals, often including an assumption that government and/or big-business are necessary to manage them, that it will be extremely costly, that it will take many years or decades to implement, and longer yet to have an effect. (And, if we're being cynical, a tacit assumption that it probably won't work anyway.)
This might well be the dumbest thing i've ever said on the internet, but extrapolating from "data on 7% of americans just got hacked" to the premise nothing is actually secure

a) What would happen if we embraced this and just made all information freely available?

b) Is one of the likely/possible end or transitional states of the human race, all information being freely available and presumably along with it, a more enlightened approach to dealing with it?

c) Are there any good sci-fi books where this is explored?
Plaintext in 2015 ! Inexcusable.
Being on the other side of a hateful echo chamber
I don’t have nearly the clout of Ellen Pao, nor have I been attacked with the same fervor and hatred, but I do have a relatable experience. One that got me fired from a job I loved, a startup where I was the second engineer and watched as we grew to over 30.

The problem is one of context; it’s so easy for things to be taken out of context in our 144 character-limit world. It’s so easy for someone to draw a line between disparate things and craft the arc of a story that really isn’t there.

When my father saw a photoshopped image of a shark swimming in the flooded streets of NYC post Katrina, he was literally afraid for me. I assured him it was photoshopped. To me it was obvious, but he didn’t grow up in a world where you could so easily fabricate reality. I hope my children don’t grow up in a world affected by social media trolls.

People apply their agendas on an indifferent reality. This won’t change. It is everywhere from the wackiness of our conspiracy theories to the seriousness of our politics. Our first instinct must be to keep a healthy skepticism, not to retweet. We must resist the urge to act impulsively.

I remember the few strangers who reached out to me when things happened. I will always.

I’ll leave with one strange thing that happens to you when you’re attacked that no one talks about. Your sense of self gets blurred, and here’s how.

Say you’re a modest person. One opposite Friday you wake up, and all your friends are telling you to “stop talking about yourself all the time”. They’ve been meaning to tell you since forever, and they’re finally sick of it.

Who do you believe?

Now imagine the crowd is telling you what a terrible person you are.
sleep.
try to stay away from devices, see if you can even do this.. :) - meditate
take a pen and paper, write down random ideas
plan your day/week
ignite a conversation with someone sitting next to you.
For those that missed it, I suggest this look at how comically bad security was (is) at OPM, to the point there were security reports saying the loss of productivity by shutting down the database completely would be preferable to the ridiculously vulnerable state it was in. No one listened.

Did you read the source article in the Guardian? I think the post here is pretty fair to criticize it as oversimplified and decontextualized to the point of absurdity. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/may/29/james-watt...
I don't even think people care about that stuff. The interesting accounting is on her husband's plate. The KP stuff only affected things at Reddit when Reddit started to do funny things to stories about it.

Really, her Rampart-level impedance mismatch with the community was enough.
Nevermind misogyny etc., you're pointing to two incidents of unknown magnitude (because you lack the data internal to the company) among an unknown number of other things she's handled and you claim she's failed as a CEO? That is ridiculously uninformed.
I'm really curious to see how much the original training material affects these images.

Is everyone using the same source? There's a lot of doge in there along with that bird that always pops up. Why are faces so prominent? Is that an artefact of the training data or inherant in the algorithm. I would guess the former.
Banning fph was a good start. "The community" is actually Reddit's number one problem. It has allowed a large contingent of hateful assholes to congregate there. If this continues the company has no future.
At last, a voice of reason in hundreds of pointless comments.

Free speech is a principle and people should be free to say whatever they want no matter how disgusting or distasteful to the majority or mainstream. This is the ideal of a free society and people who can't make the distinction between supporting the principle and yet rejecting the advocates of idiocy are implicitly advocating some form of government censorship.
Wow...that is deeply unsettling. Watching it caused me to experience actual physical stress and anxiety.
Critical thinking just involves analysis of arguments presented. If my arguments were fallacious, then I apologize, but you haven't exactly clarified how exactly I exaggerated the OP's claims, as opposed to just summarized them. I'll accept the godwin's law card, that was a slip.

Secondly, I did notice your analysis, but I was referring to the general "you", so that others can feel free to chime in and critique as well.
So here's something that's always struck me as odd about these sorts of defenses of free speech. (This is something I've been thinking about for a bit, so I'm not picking on you specifically, you just reminded me of it.)

I believe in the power of speech. I believe that there is utility in being able to convey my thoughts, without someone else filtering or censoring them, to others. I believe that my words mean things, that they reflect what I believe. I believe that being a person "of your word" is an important thing: that when you say you will do something, you intend to do it. I believe that lies are, of themselves, clearly of negative moral value. (Which is not to express an opinion on whether lies can serve some greater moral good, just to say that they have inherent demerit.) I believe that if I care about my friends, I care about what they say; if I value my friends, I value what they say; if I respect my friends, I respect what they say.

It is out of that conviction that I think that restrictions on one's ability to speak, whether from a government or a private party, carry great power, which, like all power, can be abused.

If I don't assign a moral value to these coworkers' comments, if I don't care what they say, if I don't care to have opinions on their speech lest I risk "thought policing" them, if I believe that people may say bad things while intending to be good (or vice versa) and that's just okay... it seems that I have completely devalued the power of speech, and I have destroyed the very reason we care about free speech, without censoring a single word. If anyone can say anything and it could mean anything or nothing, and nobody cares, what is the point of speech?
It's true that indented code is different than text, but I don't think it's different enough (or in a way) to affect the conclusion. Indented blocks don't go on forever before the eye must seek back to the beginning. Width limitations help reduce "indentation creep" which is bad for its own reasons. Block comments (including those extracted for documentation) are often full width. For these reasons and more, a column limit yields more readable results.
There is a book about this incident by the same title. It's been so long since I've read it that I don't remember if it was any good.

I got my atomic energy merit badge as a teen, though I was content to make my model reactor out of K'Nex.
It is if you do it with the intent to defraud people or to make a service inaccessible. Same thing with a denial of service attack. It's not illegal to visit a webpage, but it is illegal to visit a webpage millions of times per second to bring the server down.
Well the good news is that they were barely putting any effort into keeping it secure, so reasonable efforts are not in vain.

The bad news is that almost your entire government is barely putting any effort into keeping your data secure.
Hello, thanks for your feedback. I posted this because I feel like it is a very unique space/opportunity and is in the spirit of fostering startup progress. I guess many Show HN posts could be considered to be an advertisement. Usually it is an advertisement for an individual's skills or awesome ability. In this case, my wife's and my awesome ability is restoring a run-down airport facility and trying to make it into something more modern. A lot of hard work has gone into this space and I believe that this opportunity is a reflection of our hard work, just like a lot of the software projects out there.
I apologize if you feel like my intent is too commercial for the subject line chosen.
#2 reminds me how reddit clamped down on the unauthorized nude photos, and then shamed the community for its behavior (correctly, IMHO). But then someone asked if reddit was going to refund all the gold purchased during and because of it, and AFAIK the admins just stopped talking about that. (If they did any more than say "that's a tough call" I missed it.)

It's tough to have a conscience when you are getting funding for violating it.
> Given the amount of stuff I've seen in the last year against various people in the games industry in other places, some of that organized on Reddit, I'm happy to see something done.

I'm not. I'd prefer all of the communities stay on a site like reddit, where specific users get banned for clear violations of harassment rules, rather than the entire communities getting shut down because of the actions of a few. Most communities on reddit had clear anti-harassment rules and moderators usually banned it when it was seen.

Now, instead, the communities are moving over to sites like voat.co and 8ch.net - communities that won't get policed in any way whatsoever. And in many cases, the communities encourage harassment, brigading, and general nastiness. This is going to make the Internet a worse place in general for all of us.
Well isn't that a convenient narrative? Any woman the community likes is despite the fact she's a woman. Anyone they dislike is because she's a woman. The outrage writes itself!
Yishan referred or suggested Ellen Pao, Sam and the board made the decision:

And DOB of your family member, unless the forms have changed. Also (not related to your family), when you're trying to identify yourself on the phone to a credit card or bank (etc.) because you are starting with them or "lost your password", they usually quiz you - almost all of the questions can be answered if you know the previous addresses.
Except that what leaked out is the background checks of almost all of the people that have a security clearance. There's a lot potential for someone to use that information to blackmail ("I'll tell your wife about that affair you had 10 years ago") or socially engineer (pretend to be someone else) their way to the very secrets this process is supposed to protect.
The Paradise Valley generally receives less snow than other places in Montana. My wife and I drive a Prius year round and typically a grocery store trip is ~40 minutes round trip.
We're able to take the Prius on 95% of our winter drives.
This last winter was quite warm, we were flying kites outside over Thanksgiving with our extended family.

The next evolution of machine learning: Machine teaching
I'll say stay away from devices as well, but I mainly mean staying away from social networks, news sites, and anything else that's idle browsing/talking. Also, stay away from work. Too much work, work, working all the time. Come up with new ideas, write blog style posts amount different subjects, look out the window and think, think about where your life is and where it could be, read some good books, etc.
Don't you mean, he should be fired, because he is the wrong person for the product, because he literally does not know how to use the site?
Somewhat broken in Chrome on Android. Tapping a button brings up what looks like a weird tooltip that blocks most of the screen. Pretty much unplayable.
Could you possibly believe many of those same people also post here?! HN would just flag and ban you for saying it right off that bat.

Most people you know are in some form or fashion, an asshole. They quietly be a racist, sexist, nationalist to an extreme, have a fetish far beyond the norm, or other strange or socially unacceptable behavior. They just don't personally show it to you to avoid the judgement. It just seems like there are a whole lot more of them on Reddit because Reddit doesn't silence them. Let that settle in for a little bit. It's the anti-gay pastor that gets caught with a man, for example. That said, people are allowed to show their more negative sides without any repercussions things can become problematic and the more extreme can take over a community if enabled.
If you live by the public opinion, you die by the public opinion.
How are you tying the petitioners back to Reddit accounts to gauge their participation rate on the site?
Citing a google search is a bit lame. Suffice it to say that I am familiar with the concept (hint: it is a lot older than Victorian England) and that I am asking you to defend your statement about ianferrel's comment.

So again, what do you mean by "deserving"? What do the poor deserve that (in your interpretation) ianferrel claims they do not?

It is one thing to say that some peoples' poverty is the result of their bad decision making skills. It is another to say that cash payments are not an effective form of assistance for such people. It is something else altogether to say that we should throw such people to the wolves. Do you acknowledge these distinctions, or do you think they are insignificant?
I think the take away may be that Ellen Pao is not the executive that someone's hype machine purports her to be.
I really detest the term "casual misogyny", as if everyone is living their lives just "casually" having this deep hatred for women. It so easily deflects any criticism or real discussion because well obviously they're all just casual misogynists.

I think people confuse making some jokes about women with "casual misogyny." People make jokes about everything, including stereotypes of women. Maybe that's in poor taste, and maybe they deserve to be called out for that if it's inappropriate, but it certainly doesn't mean they hate women.
The point of drunk, hyperbolic speech is to vent frustration. Just because some kinds of speech can raise armies doesn't mean that all kinds of speech should be treated as if they will.
This comment has no relevance to the top comment it replied to. When we see people doing that, we detach the subthread from its parent.
No, I don't think the internet should be sanitised. But at the same time, I find the MRA shrill talking-points to be of a pretty shallow depth, and, as a group, they're pretty vocally violent. In contrast, I find feminist talking-points to have a fair amount of depth to them. Those feminists who conduct themselves in the shrill manner that MRAs do are just as bad, but when you take those kinds of people away and look at what's left over, it's quite different.

So how should you counter people you don't like? Well, by trying to be mature, and if you fail, trying for better next time. Death threats and rape threats are never okay. Especially if the person in question is not forcing themselves into your life - people go to reddit, reddit does not force themselves into living rooms and makes you read it, nor do many people pay for it.

For the record, I am a white male. I loathe the MRA crowd because they're purely reactionary. Men do have systemic social issues that need addressing, but in general, the MRA crowd isn't actually interested in exploring, discussing, and addressing the issues. Instead, they use men's issues as a weapon with which to beat down discussion that other people are having; there is very little that is proactive in that crowd. For example, here on HN, pretty much all the men's rights stuff has been presented as some sort of counterpoint to a perceived feminist slight... yet these same shrill voices that demand we pay attention to the issues faced by men... never post articles in their own right, only weaponised comments to win internet points.

Threats of violence are never okay unless you're being physically threatened. Immature commentary should never be at the forefront of a social movement, since it's never going to solve root causes and can only provide a superficial salve. These things are destructive, and are all about making the other side lose - an ideal outcome is a win-win situation, though that's not always possible, of course.
That's it ?

You must be detached from reality and what a CEO does if you think those deserve being fired for. And seriously even insinuating that her personal life has anything to do with this is frankly disgusting behaviour.
Thanks for the feedbacks, more details here.

In a multi-container app based on docker with cross-container communication, as structured below:

load balancer → app servers * n → db * 2

How does one deploy new code to the app servers without any downtime?

I'm looking for any docker-based solutions, toolkits or simply tips and tricks, thanks!
This is the kind of "outside the box" kind of stuff I love. Thanks for sharing.
Ellen Pao quits Reddit
reddit has more than $50MM in the bank, which will last many many years.
At some point the business needs to be profitable. Monetizing AMAs does not seem like the right way to do it to me, but again, Steve's call. Ads will work but it'd be great to figure out something better that actually makes reddit better.

What worries me is the trend of Silicon Valley darlings like Reddit, Uber and AirBnB that aren't profitable but still in business.

From a monetization point of view Reddit isn't going to be different than any other news channel out there. It's not a question of quality and never really have been. Not enough people pay for quality content. Yet newspapers and VCs keep this illusion alive.

It seems like lots of VCs trying to milk companies that aren't making any money.

There is probably something I am not understanding but it seems like the emperor gas no clothes and it's only a question about when the boy is going to say the obvious.

Whats going on?
New lowest price for electricity from solar: 3.87 cents per kWh
Ask HN: Why is there no modern package manager for Java?
Yes, there is Ant, Maven, Gradle, etc. but these are more dependency management. Why isn't there something more similar to npm, cpan, etc.? The closest thing I see is https://jpm4j.org/ but it seems to have slowed down.
How much would it cost? Any ballpark figures you can give?
Perpetual PR nightmare averted.
Interesting idea.

I think in a hypothetical situation where everyone had total info awareness you could make it work. If somebody uses your info to steal your identity or something, you'd know who it was and they would open themselves up to reprisal. Some equilibrium would be reached.

In the real world though, releasing 'everyone's' data wouldn't really do anything to protect any given person if somebody wanted to specifically target them and you also wouldn't know who perpetrated it so really you have a system in place that rewards the bad actors.
Student Loans May Be Driving the Tuition Explosion
If your version of free speech means allowing anything to be said anywhere, I don't want it. The principle of free speech I subscribe to is allowing anyone a place such that those who want to listen, can. In essence, to prevent one party silencing a communication between two other parties. Reddit need not be that place.

Thanks brianwawok, I'm currently experimenting with #1, switching between two batches of docker containers with a bunch of script, but am curious about is there more robust approaches to this? What are people using professionally in real world?
The author says that he loves Windows 10, but it is the possibility of having to pay for upgrades in 2 years (home edition) or 4 years (pro edition) that he is complaining about.

Since Office 365 is such a good deal ($100/year for a gig of cloud storage, up to date copies of all apps if you want them, and email hosting if you want it) that I am personally inclined to give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt on how fair they will be to users.
FWIW tons of users have been shadowbanned for relatively light infringements (posting about TPP on /r/news, posting negative news items about Pao on various subreddits) since the 5 sub-reddits were shut down.
This submission isn't an AMA, it's a link to the AMA. He's answering questions over on reddit.
Letting the perfect be the enemy of the good isn't great either.
