Admittedly I skimmed the paper but didn’t see any comparison with state of the art. How does this differ from Tezos’ implementation?

I am a bit curious which influencers would like to have this? Twitch streamers protect their location religiously because exposing it can lead to 100s of pizzas being delivered to your house, stalkers traveling across the country to harass

This is good advice! I’ve heard many engineers bemoan setting up SELinux policies however they’ll dump a non-trivial amount of time into security theatre.

I think the PR strategies of these companies is something along the lines of, say the vague things which have no risk of backlash as opposed to explaining what happened which has higher risk of backlash.

They would be fined minimally for lying about closing their position, peanuts compared to how much they would lose if they have to cover their shorts.

Yes and I think you can add Reddit and potentially even some HN posts to this. The world would benefit from an engagement diet.

Again, it is not up to Facebook to serve the needs of the government. It’s why transparency is so critical for the platform, and they are transparent that they value American ideals.. which no surprise include skepticism against government.

It’s doublespeak to say “I saw no calls for violence when I was on platform” and then to say “of course there was calls for violence on the platform, they are on every platform”. Which is it? Facebook optimizes for engagement.. Parler optim

Links for reference? When the CEO spoke with Kara he said that they have groups of five random individuals on platform moderating each decision. That’s a filter bubble style of moderation and poor compared to Facebook/Twitter’s efforts

Many of these companies have held terms of conduct which condone enabling violence on their platforms. While they have failed to moderate the entirety of their platform, it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t de-platform the cause of the coup attem

A highway doesn’t scale in the same way a social media site does. I disagree that this is brainwashing. We just don’t know how to cope with the internet’s scale and the answer is not clear..

Some for sure, there have been rumors of Telegram groups starting up in the aftermath of Parler.

I don't have the answers for if Facebook's good outweighs the bad, nor do I want to get into a debate. I'm just clearly laying out - and I understand that you mean well with the question and I hope others who understand this

There are many teams trying to fix the negatives of FB - sure you can’t fix everything but overall the intention and effort is there

Overall I agree with your point, I just wanted to add that my experience with small startup vs FAANG is that it was the opposite experience for me. Small startup involved wearing many hats, but in general was a more specialized role than FA

Yes! Programs can be much more efficient with non-blocking operations and a scheduler. This doesn't just benefit high performance web servers. You gain some distinct advantages too by doing this, because you can then just run a single

Yep this is true of all big tech companies in general. It’s a bit like when punk rock became mainstream, but now it’s tech companies - or rather was ~10 years ago. People hate change. These new CPUs will represent a huge generational leap a

It is bullshit I agree. We all know what the intent is with an advertisement. You don’t have to be a “tech-elite” to understand ads. There should be more transparency around how ads are displayed on the internet.. but giving researchers ful

That is not true, according to an investigation ran by a third-party https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-politics-54457407 Do you trust the third-party investigation, or a couple of whistleblowers one of which design

What is the difference between targeted advertisement and targeted content? I’d argue targeted content is more dangerous because the intent of the content is not as clear as for an ad. Btw the ad library on FB allows you to put scrutiny on

I dunno it’s more about the principle of not fixing the product. I think software teams would benefit greatly by setting principles that they follow instead of justifying everything by revenue. Not saying you support the revenue-only model

“Engineer who works at Facebook has taken the name of my open source project”, corrected that for you. This feels like using HN to brigade an individual at best, and people might accept it because they opened the issue against Facebook and
