>hate speech != speech professing homosexuality

I have never come across anything Congressman Paul has said that is remotely close to qualifying ads hate speech. He is actually all about granting individuals rights and freedoms. Can you explain?

But anyways, is it really a false equivalence, or is the false equivalence based on newly-invented terms? In other words, even if we both agree we dont like what currently qualifies as hate speech; if we start the process of compartmentalizing speech into acceptable and unacceptable baskets, what is going to stop it? After they finish with Ron Paul and libertarians, who is next up to be silenced?

Now you may think, 'they're just crushing a the alt right and moving on towards libertarians.' "I won't protest because I find the alt right repulsive, and I am not a libertarian."

So tell me, when is the time to protest? When "there's no one left to speak for me?"

To me, we need to protect free speech, not to protect hate speech, but to protect the right to say things unacceptable to say, even if your government, or Google, or anyone, doesn't want you to say it. If you care about the 90%, this fundamental right will always be one of the strongest safe-guards possible against authoritarianism.
Pretty sure the first thought of all of those who are of fully able mind in that group is "fuck the white house".

That said, no, because these people are in extraordinary circumstances and don't have time to calmly sit down and think things through rationally. (Comparing storm flood victims with people who're a bit warm is a bit silly.)
If two checks are necessary, that's just more incentive for parents to stay together, or if that isn't possible, the child support can be taken out of the check. Also, with a guaranteed income, a family could much more easily move to a cheaper area with more opportunities.

People also don't tend to consider the harms that means-tested programs do to the poor. Subsidized housing is one huge per peeve of mine because it's essentially creating ghettos.
I decided I wanted to get verbally assaulted by engineering teams I was reporting findings to day in and day out. Who would have thought, I managed to make a career out of it!

It's not a slippery slope argument at all.. My point is that there is some optimal amount of investment in disaster preparedness, and if you make that optimal investment, and despite that a disaster overwhelms you, you still acted rationally and optimally. Investing more than is optimal is stupid.

> There's a lot more spots in the NFL so I don't think it makes you an idiot to go for the NFL if you can do both. Very few can do both anyway.

Since the NBA is so much more exclusive than the NFL, you're right. Very few can, and all of those who can end up in the NBA.

It's not just the pay difference. NFL players have higher risk of injury, shorter careers on average, non-guaranteed contracts, significantly less potential earning power in terms of endorsements...

If you're a first round NBA draft prospect, you have a guaranteed multi-million dollar contract even if you blow an ACL and never play a single game. You know by the time you're a college freshman whether you're in that category, because the NBA drafts college freshmen. The only point where it's a more rational decision to go for football is if you're already not a top basketball prospect...which more or less proves my point about that.

> You aren't going to see anyone in the NBA run a 4.24 40 like Chris Johnson or bench press 500+ pounds. Really any measure of strength. Or enter track and field in the Olympics.

NFL players are specialized enough that an NBA player wouldn't match them on any single metric, but on a combination of metrics the NBA player would come ahead. For example, I don't believe any NFL player would score higher than Russell Westbrook or LeBron James in the Olympic decathlon.

Also, Wilt Chamberlain could complete a 100 yard dash in 10 seconds and bench 500 pounds, albeit at slightly different moments in his career. He also competed in track and field at the collegiate level.
I wouldn’t know. I likely don’t. Which is why I’m kicking myself now.
Because of the low margins, patent licenses are likely to be quite low (though David Hampton, who invented Furby, did quite well -- but he worked for them for quite a long while as well).

The Skylanders founders did well too, but they had a functioning business which they sold to Activision.

In general the reason there are so many people at the toy fair with toy products is because the licensing margins are so low. In fact it typically runs the opposite direction (think Lego licensing other properties). I do have a friend who's doing the whole deal from the ground up (building a franchise from the ground up) but it's hard yakka and he isn't airborne yet.

Simple. If you value your career as a dev, you won't become a pentester. :) There's no upside except intellectually. Being a dev pays more and gives you more options going forward.

That's a harsh way to frame it, but it's also accurate. (I'm speaking from experience FWIW.)

In other words, you could have become an ML engineer anyway. No reason to risk it by becoming a pentester.
I've been wondering if the heat will take down a few data centers in this area. I guess reddit is hosted on AWS, however, so its current outage is not related.
I wonder if AC will pay for itself in resale value in the Peninsula these days.

Just added it earlier this year and I'm damn thankful for it right now. Our neighbor recently sold and I remember talking to the agent at the open house. We were both standing there dripping sweat on a heat wave day. Now if I sold I'd hope for a heat wave because it would magnify the presence of AC.

No, it's not about the comparison of people who are in hot temps to hurricane victims. It's about the root cause, which is global warming, that causes both, and because of that they don't deserve sympathy because of the position of politicians.

parents in some of my local fb parenting groups are frantically sharing locations of any stores in the city still selling fans. looks like most of the places you'd hit up (costco, target, bbb, hardware stores) are all sold out. so is prime now. walgreens may not have any fans even as a last resort - some of the locations seem to be sold out too. it's worth calling ahead and asking.

prime now wasn't sold out of things like ice cream though, and maybe they still have things like cooling towels in stock? i was swapping my cooling towel with my baby earlier today.
Favorite quote:

> There’s a wealth of tutorials, courses, books, and the like about how to write compilers. But if somebody believes that writing a transpiler isn’t fundamentally the same thing as writing a compiler, it may not occur to them to look at any of that material.

The basic argument is this: "compiler" isn't a term that needs to be limited from transforming a high-level input to a low-level output. Any program which is structured to map an AST to another AST, no matter the relative levels of abstraction, can borrow from many of the principles of modern compiler theory, including using many small passes rather than monolithic rewrites.

At a company I worked for, we compiled a high-level declarative expression language of our own devising into SQL and other back-end representations, including English. Is that a "compiler" as many see it? No. However, thinking about the problem like a compiler problem gave us lots of insights into how to architect our product; it let us draw on an existing wealth of knowledge to make improvements quickly and reliably.

Wow he must have been an iron man. Maybe in SF you don't, but you go a bit south and you so much do. I've spent lots of money setting up AC in my current house and now I am feeling it's worth it. I'm relatively ok with heat but 100+ is too much even for me.
SEEKING WORK - Portland, OR or Remote

I'm a polyglot, full-stack developer with 17 years experience. My specialties are Rails, Postgres, Chef, and Angular/Vue, although I've done a lot of Java and Python too. I am reliable, easy to work with, quick to turn things around, and a good communicator. I can work solo or on a team, either as lead or a team member.

> danger of of being an officer have skyrocketed

The danger of being a police officer are significantly lower than they have been in the past. The 70s was a high water mark, and 2013 was the lowest point in many years.
I suppose if you look at it that way, then anyone who has completed Crenshaw's excellent tutorial series[1] could also claim to have written (approximately) the same number of "compilers".

With a parser combinator library, you write a parser by starting with a bunch of primitive parsers (say, that parse numbers or characters) and combining them, eventually building up the ability to parse a sophisticated language.

That sounds like recursive descent, also a highly recommended method of writing a parser for its simplicity, speed, and ease of error reporting.

But if somebody believes that writing a transpiler isn’t fundamentally the same thing as writing a compiler, it may not occur to them to look at any of that material.

From what I understand, the definition of a transpiler is one which almost exclusively performs syntax-syntax transforms, and doesn't delve into the semantics with e.g. dataflow or control flow. Thus the lack of material about writing "transpilers" --- or rather, someone looking to write one should instead be seeking out information on "search and replace" algorithms.

[1] https://compilers.iecc.com/crenshaw/ --- highly recommended.
Yeah, but not in the first release.
It's a comparison you made and it's a silly argument to try because it moves the conversation away from the context it was in.

The person who's a bit warm does not deserve nor need condolences, instead they and the person tempted to send the condolences should see it as a wake-up call.

The storm flood victim doesn't need a wake-up call. They had theirs. And they probably also don't care about "thoughts and prayers" when their very life is at stake. They're not in a soccer match where the audience cheering actually does anything for them.

I just run my editor locally on my personal machine, and have it access all the files on the remote machine via SSH. In Emacs, this is as easy as typing in a slightly longer filename: /remotehost:path/to/file.cpp. Everything else about the editing session is the same as it would be if the file were local. The compile command operates in the remote directory, debugging operates out of the remote directory, all as you would expect.

Just make sure you configure your local machine so that all ssh commections to the remote machine use key-based authentication, so that Emacs doesn't have to prompt you for a password when it connects. SSH can also share connections between ssh processes, which speeds everything up. In the ssh_config documentation look for the ControlMaster option for how to set it up.

The advantage of this setup is that your editor stays on your local machine where your keyboard is correctly configured, but your work is all on the remote machine as desired. I'm sure other editors can be configured similarly.
>I see 3D printing services out there but can't understand who might be using them when you can buy printers for relatively little money.

My impression is that 3D printing is a hassle; between cleaning nozzles, babysitting things, polishing/sanding things post-print (removing supports, etc) and all the other work required.

I love that 3D printing is available, and I love that thingiverse and similar sites let you share models, but in the past year I've only wanted to have ~4 small enclosures printed for hardware projects. At that volume paying somebody else to print something for me is a much more effective use of money than buying a printer and managing it.

I wrote about this, briefly, here:

https://blog.steve.fi/3d_printing_is_cool.html

In short - 3d printing is cool, but its still not a "hit print and wait" process. Until it is I'd rather outsource the actual printing to people with more patience than I possess!
The industry for developers in Montreal is large; it's nigh impossible to find oneself unemployed. However, the number of "big name" companies is quite small. MindGeek (owner of PornHub) is one, Google has an office, and the game studios are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. So while the industry is large, most of it is small private businesses you've never heard of.

The explanation as to why Montreal is a fairly busy tech hub likely has to do with salaries here vs. the expectation for equivalent talent in the US. Most companies here are actually American companies, and the only reason their offices are located here is because even senior developers tend to earn < $85k/year CAD, with $60-70k being more common. That's $48k to $70k/year USD vs. the $100-200k+ USD they'd have to pay within the US. Government incentives (looking at you, SR&ED) reimburse these companies a significant portion of developers' salaries, making it even cheaper. Canada is, for many American businesses, essentially a step above outsourcing to India.
It's all good, just reinforces that they never were free platforms to begin with. Free speech has always been an illusion, society always ostracises those who go against the status quo anyway.

Seriously though, you can use neo-Nazis to justify censorship, but then what about the less extreme alt-right? How about the slightly less extreme religious right? How about economically right-wing libertarians? Neo-conservatives? Where do you draw the line? At what point do you decide to move the line slightly one way or the other? This is the problem. You'll always need to draw the line, and wherever you draw it, you're essentially imposing your worldview since your worldview governs where you think that line should be.

And for the record, I don't think tech companies are akin to utilities, they can do what they want within the law, but just drop the charade that their platforms were ever totally free...

And a book about spam filtering could be reduced to the sentence, "Just make sure users only get the email they actually want." Since the filtering of both email and personal possessions is rather more complicated than that, we end up with entire books written on the subject.

For email you might use a combination of DKIM+DMARC, whitelisting, blacklisting, graylisting, string matching, and bayesian filtering based on word corpus. I guess nowadays you might be using more sophisticated ML techniques but I'm not really familiar with email.

For personal possessions, Kondo recommends sorting items by category before discarding things, she has a bunch of tips on how to store things (don't get a bunch of boxes, don't store stuff in a pile so you never see whatever is at the bottom), and a bunch of tips for how to sort through each category of item.

Common sense applies… I heard somewhere in this thread that someone throws anything out they haven't used in six months, but if I did that, I'd have to buy a winter jacket every year (and an air conditioner, camping gear, etc.). That doesn't mean the rule is bad, it just means it wasn't written like a computer program.

The militarized police officer role is not needed. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, mob hits were being carried out in midtown Manhattan at nice restaurants. We didn’t have militarized police back then, we certainly don’t need it now.
I say yes. Because you probably disagree with what most people will call hate speech. Criticism of religion, criticism of some historical events, is considered by some as hate speech.

Ex-muslims routinely complain that youtube censors their videos criticizing islam. Videos of brutality (that often contains legal proofs of crimes) are removed if they are used by some hate groups, even if the intent of the recorder was to denounce violence.

In France, hate speech laws are now extended to jail terrorism apologists. OK, why not, I don't have a lot more love for them than I have for nazis. But we are also at war with ISIS, that is labeled a terrorist group. So taking its defense potentially leads to jail and censorship (it has already, actually)

And this is a worrying situation for a democracy: we are at war but we can't have a debate on the justification of that war, because such a debate would require making arguments in favor of ISIS, which is illegal.

Remember, fascism is an ideology that comes from many sides. It is not because there is a racist buffoon in the white house that we must not watch the other fronts it could come from.
That is not how insurance works, or rather, people don't just insure against malice perpetuated by untrusted actors.

Example: Say I rent out my house and an electrical fire breaks out. Insurance company says "you were using the premises for commercial purposes at the time of loss and your policy does not cover commercial activity. We won't cover the fire damage." This is a very real possibility you'd find yourself in unless you specifically bought commercial/landlord insurance.
"raped" is not an appropriate word to use in the context of this discussion. Please try to be more considerate.
One of the most effective ways to cool is to wear something thin top and bottom, then wet it (just jump in the shower with your clothes on if necessary) evaporative cooling works much better, the more fluid there is. In Saudi, when people get heat stroke, they cover them with wet sheets, then use the fans, much more effective than just fans, or ice packs. Or when you go to sleep, strip off and sleep with a wet sheet over you, and just wet it again if it dries out during the night.
