> Anarchists and communists have long been banned from entering the US. And I've noticed a strong push back against most of the more mild socialists ideas. The US have not been "the land of the free" for a long time.

American citizens are perfectly free to hold those beliefs. They are also free to determine what kind of people they want to allow in their country, just like every other country on Earth can. That they choose not to allow people who openly advocate destroying all existing social institutions (which is the end goal of communism as stated by Marx in The Communist Manifesto) to enter the country does not mean that the country is not free.

> And I will argue that communism is fundamentally a good ideology. While fascism has never leaned on the good side of human nature.

There are 100 million people who died in the 20th century who would disagree with you.

But, even if we ignore that, the US does not allow Nazis to enter the country either, for very similar reasons. As a matter of fact, if you apply for permanent residency today, you still have to sign a statement that says you're not a member of the National Socialist German Workers Party or adhere to any of its beliefs, even though that party is defunct and most of its members are dead.
You could provide users the option to give up their encryption on the content they wish to export. Chances are, if someone is trying to export their entire account, they are moving away from PM. In that case, encryption is probably not their first concern.

Furthermore, even though PM keeps user emails in encrypted form, virtually all of those emails are unencrypted on one or more servers related to the recipients of those emails. So unfortunately, the encryption is less valuable than we would like.
It's a highly specific procedure that happens before there is interaction with the opponent, so without "handing over" the understanding that having creeps on your high-ground is good, it's very hard for the learning to see through the noise and discover this.
I don't disagree, but the counter is also true. If the developers didn't care about front end performance there wouldn't books on the topic.

The best example of how uncomplicated things should be is the design of an ordinary kettle. I remember an article here on HN where a guy disassembled a kettle to find out how they make it so cheaply.

It was some simple bi-metal wire that would bend when it reached a certain temperature and shut off the power to the heating coil.

I guess the whole aspect of these IoT is that it violates the simplicity of these devices. Kind of like the weapons in Judge Dredd vs a simple modern mechanical handgun.

Society is self-regulating, it's important to avoid herd-mentality within society, and that's why people talk about protecting free-speech, but when everyone agrees that something is not ok, e.g. sexual harrasment is not ok and shouldn't be protected by free speech, then there's really not a problem with allowing these rules to exist. A society where everything is ruled by some sacred maxims, like some sort of philosophical school, doesn't exist, life isn't that simple.

The "everyone" referred to in that document and all other laws in the USA apply to people after they're here. Not before.

Yes they apply to both citizens and non citizens alike. All have those freedoms and short of seeking elected office or voting, there isn't much distinction.

But that doesn't mean those rights apply externally. A woman in Saudi Arabia doesn't have freedom of speech per the US first ammendment. A man in Russia doesn't have fourth ammendment protections against searches.

Arriving at the border doesn't mean you're inside. Until the country lets you in, you're still outside.

> Importing tech talent, rather than promoting.

is often at odds with both the point above and below it. When a company is in rapid growth, there may be a point where the talent they relied on is not quite ready for the promotion they are hiring in for. Without expanding that search outside, you may become stale in the organization, and not provide the right mentorship to ensure that those interested in getting promoted will be able to do their job properly once there. I think the point should be, that you would want to ensure that those you import will be able to help promote from within as things progress.
The difference between the two is that of community standards, in the community of people who click-through TOS and the corporations who publish them it is widely known that nobody reads and does not consider any requirements might apply - the behavior of everyone involved seems to indicate they don't care; among the community of people who use open source it is widely understood that the code will have some sort of license and you should check what it is - companies have open source policies about how you use licenses etc, there seems to be lots of community agreement that these things are important.

The two things are different and it is not hypocritical to note that.

And BYTE itself turned into an "advertisement-like piece on consumer electronics" in its later years. Basically computer magazines (BYTE, Creative Computing, Dr. Dobbs, etc.) in the 1970s and early 1980s were for hobbyists by hobbyists. But then by the late 1980s computers were big business and the media shifted. Dr. Dobbs was longest hold-out, but by the mid 1990s it had pretty much shifted into a corporate Microsoft Windows developer magazine, although in the 2000s it returned a bit to open source geekery before dying in 2014.

You're not a buzzkill. You're pointing out the obvious. Nolan 's execution is technically and visually superb, but there is little depth. These ideas were plumbed to their very depths in Science Fiction by the end of the 1970s.

Truck Driver Shortage to reach 175,000 in 2024
I agree with the argument but not the evidence - I have seen a lot of good tech managed directly into the ground by management teams that have clear track records of non-success. Bad products being sold and kept alive through clever / kleptocratic / crony business practices is what the market for enterprise anything has become because all the purchasers and sellers are one and the same - people that are never the users of said products or even the services and that can skillfully resolve themselves of blame while taking credit for "success" and somehow justifying it all as "positive thinking."
I have worked as an Android developer for 2 years at a startup and the worst thing is the micro-managing part. Companies take so many tests for developers and hire project managers or product managers who don't know shit about tech or how anything works. All they know is to ask "When will it be done?" and don't care about the complexity of the implementation or the time taken to do something the right way , an optimised solution. Another issue is releasing app/software without thorough testing and then blaming the developers for any bugs and crashes. Third and very important aspect is the "Why?". Nobody cares to explain why we are doing things certain way, why are we changing the designs, why are we moving the button, etc. Developers are not robots whom you can give any task and expect them to complete it in a ziffy. Developers want to understand the reason behind the changes, the results of these changes so that they know they are doing something worth the time and effort.

Then the argument should be "The business does not need to be accountable to anyone, except with regards to protected groups".

However, that was not the argument that was made. The original argument is unconditional: "to anyone", period.

Which constitutional right are you claiming applies differently to citizens than to non-citizens at the border?
I know it has been mentioned a lot the past few days, but since the articles keep flowing about it I'll mention it again:

It's a great feat and kudos to the openai team, but it is VERY unfair for the human players who rely on a sensory interface vs a direct API connection. That's unlike chess or go where the interface isn't important. The really impressive feat will be an AI that uses the same sensory information to make decisions (and I really hope that's where the openai will head next)
All those things are contrary to the principle of free speech. There are some things we consider important enough to override that principle - the right to avoid people you don't like, or to form a private association that excludes people you don't like (I won't get into the sex one because there's no clear simple principle there, rather we have a lot of complex and entangled notions).

It's important that a small private business should have the right to not do business with someone they don't want to do business with, but that's not an absolute principle, just as free speech is not[1]. Or rather, all of our principles can come into conflict.

The idea that an entity that processes 10% of internet traffic can exclude someone from expressing their opinions - vile and hateful as they may be - via that entity, is scary. Scarier than not being able to express a given opinion in many countries, frankly. I'm not even saying CloudFlare is necessarily in the wrong here, but it's certainly not a non-issue.

[1] Not to be confused with the US First Amendment, which is very close to absolute where it applies, but does not apply to many cases where the principle of free speech is relevant.

This is nitpicking. If somebody shows a Hitler greeting and uses swastikas and other well-known derived symbols, then he is a Nazi. There is absolutely no problem spotting them or distinguishing them from nationalist conservatives. For a start, Nazis are not promoting representative democracy.

Nazis were a socialist workers party who preached a large and benevolent social welfare program

That must be the understatement of the year. You're either trying to rewrite history or are very uninformed. The Nazis conspired to overthrow the government long before they gained any widespread popularity, that's why Hitler rightly went to prison. The SA was roaming the streets, beating up and even killing Jews and political opponents. They were very dangerous and spread terror wherever they showed up.

Of course, socialists and social democrats would be offended to be called Nazis. They literally went to prisons and Concentration Camps because of their socialist views.

Yes they were elected, but it wasn't democracy that lead to the events that followed and so I don't think this is a very fair argument you make. It might be true that Nazi rule benefited many at a particular point in time but I don't think many who lived through the period would argue that Nazi rule was net positive for Germany.
After I warn them that I will cancel the service if they don't stop falsely claiming I endorse the Nazi cause, and they ignore my warning.

In any case, that is irrelevant as 14nm and ipc are pretty much maxed out, and from this point on, this is it. Unless CPUs move away from silicone, this is as fast as it gets (save for adding cores to the problem).
The paragraph I quoted is talking about two things, one right after the other: concurrency and acidity.

First, it talks about concurrency. It says that a naive solution to concurrency is file locking. It says this is slow. So I first trot out SQLite as an example that is not slow.

It says, "Not only are these workarounds slow, but they won't scale up to allow us to make our database fully ACID-compliant." To me it sounded like he said choosing file-locking for concurrency will mop you into a corner, that you won't ever become ACID, regardless of what you tack on, like a journal.

One other clarification about concurrency: SQLite says it's fast enough for most websites. Then it turns around and says that if you need a lot of concurrency, you should go with another database. The contradiction evaporated when it dawned on me that when database makers say "concurrency," they're talking about many users at a time connecting to a database directly: picture a bunch of SQL gurus connecting directly to an SQLite file and issuing raw SQL statements. Or replace the gurus with several "application" servers that all write to a database on yet another server. For that, SQLite would be bad, we all agree, including SQLite.

But that's not what most of us, the 99% of app developers, are thinking of when we hear "concurrency." We're thinking of several people hitting our website. In that case, SQLite would still hold up (https://sqlite.org/whentouse.html, see Server-side database).

Anyway, again, I'm not against Postgres. It's what I use. I'm not talking about SQLite because I'm invested in it but because I admire it. It's just an example of a simple solution that meets many people's needs, without resorting to more complexity.
Comparing Neo-Nazis to Muslims is incredible, and it says something ugly about your beliefs about Neo-Nazis and about Muslims.

If, instead, you mean, civil rights for members of Muslim extremist organizations, then your comparison would be reasonable. So, you tell me. Should Al Qaeda be given permits for rallies across the US to recruit people to commit acts of terror?

We aren't talking about people who merely say racist things. No one is suggesting racists should have their speech curtailed, as repugnant as that speech may be. We are discussing groups that have as their stated goal the violent overthrow of the US government and imposition of a white ethno-state. It's not a secret that's what they stand for and what they are recruiting for. They talk about it pretty openly, and it can be confirmed by spending even a little time in their online or real world spaces.

It is false equivalence, and gross, to compare Neo-Nazis to Muslims. There is no similarity there. There are violent extremists that are Muslims, but it is not the stated purpose of the religion or the majority of the people (or even a notable percentage) who practice that religion. Neo-Nazis, the groups represented by the Unite The Right rally, are violent extremists, both in word and deed, and it isn't a secret or small percentage of their numbers. It is why the organizations exist.

I love lynx.

I may be alone (or in a group of 7), however, judging by how often I get a 403 Forbidden error because a site is set up to reject anything with a user agent of lynx. Seems to be a default of many Wordpress setups. e.g. lynx slatestarcodex.com.

Maybe I should just tweak the user agent, but hey, lynx pride.

So have you tried actually believing something politically completely different from what you believe right now?

Because it's not really a choice. You can pretend play to advocate for whatever political ideology. The same way you can have sex with women even if you're gay or vice versa. You can choose your sexual behavior.

But political orientation is not really a choice. It is perhaps a result of your choices, early influences, social group, etc.
