The problem is that science relies on observing phenomena to prove or disprove theories. You don't observer consciousness, so it is hard (if not impossible) to study using "normal" science.

I'm not saying they need or will go back there. I'm saying that the act of banning one type of speech always leads to a group with power and not so honorable intentions the ability to ban speech they don't like. The law is already there for that.

Thank you! I think most are missing the context of the quote. My high school history textbook had this direct quote, mentioned it was a Supreme Court case, but did not discuss the case itself. Funny how that works.

Yes, 64 bit beta. Took a a bit of digging to find it, but it was the first thing I checked once I began seeing this crashes. The only thing that fixed it was when it went back to the single process architecture.
I'm not familiar with this phenomenon of being jailed for helping a crash victim. Can someone elaborate? (Is this as US litigation culture thing?)
The technology to achieve custom molded Bluetooth earbuds like you're describing has been around for a few years, but no one is making them. There are a few startups and old dogs (hearing aid industry) trying to move into the space, but damn are they slow to the punch. I certainly blame Apple for locking down Bluetooth LE and not releasing a product.
Release has even worse memory issues, I had to go beta to get memory usage down and prevent crashes in the first place.
I'm not suggesting you should accept my ideas that you believe are wrong.

I've always been curious where the downright crazy driving style/culture came from in India. It's like nowhere I've ever seen, they drive on whatever side of the road they want, there are no traffic lights, I mean I get that it's a developing country but none of this stuff is that expensive to procure, is it?
Thank you, exactly what I wanted.
A corporation is of, for, and by the shareholders. A country can be thought of as a similar entity where every citizen gets a share.

I'm not saying the two are equivalent - distinguishing between the two could obviously be useful in a different discussion. I'm following this reduction to illustrate a contradiction.

System behavior cannot be met by creating the correct "axiomatic primitives" and then blindly building on them. We are computer scientists, and so we know that complexity eventually creates emergent behavior that likely contradicts our original goals. System behavior must be analyzed for its qualitative effects in the "big picture", to see if our goals are being met.
I would say so on a more minute to minute basis. Awake, asleep, drunk, daydreaming, hypnosis......
Are you suggesting that the government should use its military and para-military forces to actively defend freedom of speech?

The above comment points out that the government has a responsibility to fight people who break other laws, e.g. Murder, vandalism, harassment, etc.

It sounds like your suggesting that these are not enough, that the government should actively pursue those who have not yet committed a crime against someone's body or property, but instead at the point where they are actively threatening (by some definition of that) through speech.

Which by this definition, they would be utilizing their freedom of speech to do... which I think your implying the government should actively suppress. This sounds like it could easily be abused to fight any criticism of any group.
Yes, because speech is not violent but actions can be.

Blaming speech reminds me of a small child pleading that someone made them do it when they learn there are consequences for their actions.
For VSCode crashing, no suggestions since I've never seen it myself. You could try deleting the config files in your "home" directory and run from scratch.

Which language are you trying to autocomplete. For some like Javascript/Typescript, it works out of the box. For many like Golang, C++, Python you need to install a plugin but takes just a few seconds. Also for autocomplete to work across files, I think you many need to open the whole directory ("file/open folder..." menu item.)

Maybe he meant the Catalyst 2900 which was really a 2 slot version of the 5000 with the sup card and a 12 or 24 port line card already screwed in. I did a large deployment of Lightstreams (It think 1010s), Cat 5000s and Cat 2900s. This was prior to official availability of the Cat 5000 and 2900. They were running beta code and we had to upgrade them every couple of days. We hit a stable enough build about a week before going live to coincide with the official availability of the 5000s. Our customer got a big break on the equipment but had to be live by general availability of the catalysts to be a demonstration customer. The chain smoking tool of an engineer Cisco sent, he like to brag his employee number was in the teens, instilled a distrust of Cisco support engineers that future Cisco engineers have reinforced, the good ones have been few and far between. That system made it live despite his best efforts.

Anyways I digress. The Cat 2900 and Cat 5000 came from the Crescendo acquisition as did Mario Mazzola and Prem Jain.

> you'll be treated as a witness and have to attend all court proceedings

sounds like FUD. why should a witness have to attend any time other than one time to testify (usually as a friendly witness, i imagine forcing hostile testimony is even rarer). court proceedings can include filing various forms which are done by one person or not done at all (causing delays). I don't see anyone dragging you to court to file papers that you have nothing to do with... Unless they are charging you with something and arresting you or making you serve on a jury (india doesn't even have jury trials), why would you have to be at the court multiple times just as a witness ?

> I don't have to be entangled in all sorts of legal issues.

The way to avoid being entangled in legal issues is 1. avoid doing things you know are illegal and 2. avoid pissing off someone (who will see that you get prosecuted for failing at 1).
> the idea of absolutely ensuring that some people's identities will be worth more than others ... artificial limit is a bit weird

One of the driving forces behind the 'Dark Enlightenment' is the idea that some people are worth more than others.
Google Now kind of supports this. To activate the assistant thingy, you hold down the home button and press the mic icon. But in the same screen there are also suggestions based on what's on the screen (for example, if I'm looking at a forum where someone's talking about an album it'll suggest finding it on Spotify), as well as a plain Google search box.
Not sure why you think that government censorship is the only enemy of the noblest form of free speech. The government is the only actor restricted by the constitution, because the constitution's purpose is to set the structure and limitations of the government.

However, the ideal of free speech is much greater and the enemies to free speech are, in today's world, much less often the Government and much more often economic or social. While it would not make sense to try to attack them through constitutional arguments, the ideals of the first amendment are a considerable reflection of greater ideals of free speech to which we should still strive.

Why should we not exercise our own free speech to speak out against economic and social forces which try to restrict it? It is not a dilution of the term to apply it in this way. It has since its inception referred to freedom from all sorts of restriction.

Bertrand Russell in 1922 wrote:

"Legal penalties are, however, in the modern world, the least of the obstacles to freedom of thought. The two great obstacles are economic penalties and distortion of evidence. It is clear that thought is not free if the profession of certain opinions makes it impossible to earn a living. It is clear also that thought is not free if all the arguments on one side of a controversy are perpetually presented as attractively as possible, while the arguments on the other side can only be discovered by diligent search."

>My point is that 1 2 should give the same type of error message as "foo" "bar", because it is the same kind of error

And my point is that no it should not. "1 2" is more ambiguous, it could be more things, hence there is a more ambiguous error message.

Yes, any single capability is 'hilariously easy' to implement - the problem with these systems is that there are thousands of capabilities to implement before people can consider them close to doing 'everything'.
There is an F# REPL for VS Code[1], so it's possible at least. Can't say how hard it is though.

I was just using vs code now with vim bindings and was running into roadblocks.

For example, 23G doesn't go to line 23. d5d doesn't delete 5 lines.

I feel fine about them, thanks for asking. I think it's reasonable to make a distinction between those and images of sexual crimes on the basis of protecting the victims depicted in illegal pornography. Reportage also serves a valuable informative social purpose which images of sex crimes do not serve.
IMHO the type system of flow and typescript are pretty different from Java/C#. Structural typing to name one and maybe the most important.
What we will see more and more in America is the privatization of all "public" utilities and services (schools->charter, Libraries-->?). This will enable and allow these non-public corporations to enact and enforce censorship. Since the "free" speech applies mostly to our Government interactions, it won't apply to "private" corporate institutions. They will be outside of the constitution of the US.

America must wake up to what is happening. It's not too late.

We Americans must always be able to speak our minds no matter how offensive, true or false. But we must also never harm ourselves or each other. This should also apply to Government and Corporations. We must always hold those in "power" accountable for their actions public or private.

I wonder though, how easy would it be for someone to hack a Tesla car, crash the car while it's on AutoPilot, and then have the logs say that it was the driver's fault, so it was "just an accident", and not an assassination?

I imagine the people at NSA/CIA are already testing for this. Self-driving cars are scary, especially when you consider that the vast majority of car makers who want to build self-driving cars still aren't taking security seriously, and even continue to send unsigned updates over HTTP. Whatever security Tesla has for its car is actually the exception, not the rule, but I doubt even Tesla has good enough security to protect its cars against state actors, especially when all of its cars can be updated/attacked remotely.

Yeah, hospitals and doctors won't admit.

A quick story in Pakistan: A brain surgeon had a lot of success doing brain surgeries and received much fame, award, and status worldwide, and even though he started out modestly helping the poor and less fortunate, fame and greed got to him, and he became more demanding in terms of payment.

Well, a man brought in a young individual involved in a car accident who had received a big blow to the brain to the hospital where the doctor worked. The young man was a passerby to the accident and a complete stranger. He begged and pleaded this world famous doctor at the hospital to operate, but the doctor wanted payment. He eventually offered his own car keys as a security deposit for the time being while he would try to raise money in other ways. The doctor accepted the security deposit and began to operate. It was too late, however, because when the doctor opened the curtain he found the injured individual to be his son about to take his last breath. The doctor went insane and died.

Edit: Actually "clearly" might be a little too strong. Public schools shouldn't be restricted to only reacting to illegal behavior. But in most realistic cases I agree with your comment.

Outside of identifying developmental disabilities, IQ testing is pretty useless. What's more loathsome is all of the pseudoscience that's crept up through overinterpretation.

You're not thinking of free speech in its standard Western form. Enlightenment era ideals about the power of individuals to self-govern with reason, to dispose of laws that don't treat people like they are fully self-sufficient. Any offensive speech laws that purport to 'protect others' is infantilizing to one side and cynical about the other. Just saying, laws make assumptions about people. Protecting freedom of speech is really about protecting our inherent individualism. Minor concessions are a slippery slope. If you want to curb it, you're also likely saying you don't share the same classical enlightenment ideology of self-sufficiency.

I don't think they should be though. Restrictions on free speech should be narrowly restricted to the enforcement of other laws, as in the example I gave of it being reasonable for it to be illegal to incite crimes. I think defamation should be a civil matter.
Now we both got downvoted from all the strong opinions here. I think your question is valid.

If you read the text about the president needing to speak to a priest it is considered very bad that a person with a lot of military power needs to get so low and talk to a normal person without any military power directly. My interpretation of that kind of comment is that it feels anti free speech, pro surveilance, pro censorship.
>Then it isn't about "freedom of speech" which is a right that means free from government censorship

No, "the right to free speech" means the right to be free of government censorship. "Freedom of speech" simply means freedom of speech, exactly what it says.

Advice if looking for Wholesalers and Dropshippers
This "right not to be offended" a part of the article is talking about is such a Trojan horse. Groups are not claiming a right not to be offended, they are claiming the right to feel "mortally" offended, giving them leverage to pursue goals often not that much related to the original act of offending speech.

Since it is the offended who get to define what offends them, the term "right, not to be offended" falls quite short of the actual problem. Everybody already is perfectly free to not feel offended by anything. This right is a given, everywhere. So the only thing remaining to claim is the right to declare stuff as offending at will and force those decisions on others.
This is really a great startup idea. From a unicorn perspective it won't do, but what a beautiful business it would be.
I run it on a Macbook Pro 15 2015, a Macbook Air 11 2011, and a frankenbox with an i7 from 2013.

On the Air it takes 10 seconds or so to launch. On the others it's less than 5 seconds. Compare to PHPStorm, which is kinda useable in less than 30 seconds, and takes a minute or two to index a relatively small codebase and be fully useable. (Of course, PHPStorm does a lot more than VS Code, but I find that I don't use it anymore anyway; testing startup time just now was the first time I'd opened it in months. I guess I should stop paying for it.)

Google voice used to work poorly in noisy environments, then one day it didn't. I was at a trivia contest in a noisy bar a few months ago. When no one could answer a question off the top of their head, the question would go to a phone search permitted round. Our table won the contest handily because I could use voice search more quickly than any one else could manually type in queries.
+1 I think you make a reasonable argument. I'm not entirely sure that companies should enjoy the same protections as individuals. Being an employee places you under contractual obligations that may restrict your freedom of speech, which can be resonable as I discussed previously.
