No. This is different and smells either a crawler that can't crawl a page for integrity purposes, or it can crawl and somehow the url got blacklisted. I assume hunter Biden story is more of the "disinformation" moderators blo

It's a bug but HN crowds like to talk about the evil corps all the time.

I bet it's likely a bug. There were times i wasnt able to post LinkedIn urls in the past. I bet it's their crawler/integrity service having hard time. Never assume malice when it can be sufficiently explained by a bug or inco

If you get more and more users do you say sorry, we are an exclusive club of 2m[1] we won't let you have a chat/group/event with your other friends who were late to the party. That sounds wrong. [1] rando number, large enough

Is it an observation about specific people? I doubt it. Also it's clearly directed at me. Hard to spin it otherwise because it's using things i said either whay you are saying sound more like a stereotype. I doubt you observed eno

Try doing KYC and people will go bonkers(americans in particular). I personally don't give out my passport info unless i absolutely have to. IRS recently implemented this id.me id verification thing and I only went through it because i

have any more substantive comments besides ad hominem attacks? it's 10pm, and i reported this problem a few hours ago - i probably either care about the problem, or i am nerding out on HN, or both. Money doesn't define how i think

oh i mean, identity/authentication alone doesn't make profit right? The problem with using PK cryptography is that if you lose your keys, you'd be locked out. Then we would probably have other key schemes M-of-N etc or social

I don't know if you can really say that for a social network or a search engine. They naturally grew due to their network effects. A weird analogy would be saying "US should have no business growing to 300M if it has XM people und

alpha_squared: that's a little too much extrapolation. people outside of ads don't really care much about ads, to the point i find kind of annoying (i am in ads). non ads teams in general have non-ads metrics they care about more.

Metamask can sign data, which would help you prove the user has the private for a given public key. You do not need the blockchain. The chrome extension to cryptography would help - but we have FIDO that does exactly that (and webauthn i gu

I think this is fair. Part of the issue is as the number of users increase, the support staff has to increase, which in turn would increase the "attack surface" where a support staff might go rouge etc, and cost also increases pro

0.1% * 1B users = 1M users. 0.01% * 1B users = 100K users. I don't know if anyone ever designed a fool proof system with 0 bad cases, but feel free to prove me wrong.

Of course, there will always be someone who won't care about their users, it's inevitable. But knowing how sausage is made, there are different trade offs when it comes to authentication... I was at google before here, and things

FB employee here. Instead of assuming they don't care about you, assume scale and sometimes incompetence. Things happen, people are striving to be better, but scale comes with pain sometimes, sadly. At sufficiently large scale, there&#

If you are reading all columns from same row in your queries that'd break columnar storage use case, and would be slower.

It could have been wrong, but main argument was whether SQL was a good language for retrieval or not, and for me that's a no. It's probably subjective though :)
653.
by tehlike 4y ago
Right, most ORM tools give an escape hatch to execute raw SQL queries. However, even though SQL is turing complete, it's not a great language for retrieval imho. It's probably an artifact of the underlying relational models (and t

Sadly the choice of sql tends to make underlying framework very complicated and sometimes incapable. Some things got easier to express with SQL after Json_agg in postgres became a thing (now you can do multi-depth relations without blowing

Amen. I made this point over and over. Sql is fairly annoying to deal with, linq is very close to me being perfect, prql is close https://github.com/prql/prql

Thanks - it's definitely not an ideal case, but so is losing your ability to work. It feels like a decent back up plan.
