> Sure there are some areas today where "never trust whitey" might still sadly be a survival strategy. ... The issue is applying it as a general rule as the parent poster did.

Maybe it's a lot worse than you think, because a lot of people with actual experience being black seem to say so. The people who say it's not are, IME, the people with the least experience.
Yep, pretty much. I started on a parser long ago as a side project and... quickly decided there were better uses for my free time.
Manafort is almost assuredly dirty for something he's done, but it's hard to say if that meeting was related to his campaign work or some loose ends from his past.
Those areas where it is a valid survival strategy for blacks in America are, in addition to the usual "oh, most of the former sundown towns after the sun goes down," but also almost any place the police ever are, ever.

It is not on individual blacks trying to get by in their day to "solve racial inequalities". It is on those of us with privilege and power to ally with those without such privilege and power and fight with them, not to demand that they do stupid and self-harmful things because we, the privileged and insecure, would like to believe that things are just great.

Things are really, really bad for a lot of people right now. It's worth considering their viewpoints before foghorning your way in with yours.
I'm disappointed to see that you're standing up for posting extremely biased political misinformation on HN and shutting down the one person attempting to provide source, context, and framing of the user's intent.

Please just go ahead and ban me. This is completely ridiculous and you're part of the goddamn problem.
I don't understand the downvotes you're getting - the economic circumstances you cite are sound, and historically desperate and remarkable things can indeed happen as Empires and Nations come to the end of their economic rope.

Too long of an article for an author trying to rationalize not liking wine. You don't like it, get over it.
This is very much my experience. To me, wine takes exactly like fermented grape juice - not in a good way.

I used to grudgingly tolerate sweet whites, but red always tasted like something I shouldn't be putting in my mouth and drinking.

Some people clearly enjoy wine, but how/why baffles me.

Declaring what data your UI binds to is not a side effect, so co-locating GraphQL queries with your component doesn't necessarily introduce side effects. You don't have to co-locate GraphQL mutation queries to your component, you can just have your event handlers (or other mutation-creating events) handled elsewhere in your app.

> What happens when two components used in two totally different areas of a single page need common data? Relying on a cache feels like a hack.

When declaring what data you rely on is as simple as a GraphQL query, it's basically like declaring what data goes in your component. It's NOT like building ORM layers directly into your UI components.

Actually you're being very dishonest, namely through the use of overgeneralization. Not all police will kill black people "without a blink", and not all white people from the last 300 freaking years can be lumped together.

Regardless, my "feels" have nothing to do with it. How do you propose to solve racial inequality if people categorically refuse to trust each other on the basis of race? Moving beyond "don't trust whitey" and similar mentalities on all sides would seem to be a prerequisite.

>Most of your examples are covered by other laws. Property rights, defamation or such. However, none of this is forbidden as speech.

That is exactly my point. What do you think defamation is if isn't a limitation on free speech? What do you think copyright is if it isn't a limitation on free speech? What do you think laws against threats or intimidation are if they aren't a limitation of free speech? Those laws are created because we think some speech shouldn't be protected.

>This is demonstrated as false because we had these rights before there ever was something we could call government or even a society. When you are born into the world alone as a living being there is nothing to silence you. Freedom did exist before civilization.

There is no one stopping anyone from taking your rights away if you are born into the world alone as a living being. That is one of the primary purposes of government. The protection of its citizens' rights. If we don't have some force to protect those rights, there is nothing preventing the powerful from taking away the rights of the weak as evidenced by the entirety of human history.

>Status of a free society is not a boolean. The degree to which the society is free is strongly correlated to the degree of free speech within the society.

That is obviously true, but the r value in that correlation also isn't equal to 1. The US is at the extreme in terms of free speech but it is rarely in the top of the various freedom indices that exists to measure the freedom of a society.
Why "idea of silence" and not "silent thinking"?
i totally agree with a lot of this. i don't think people should make decisions by taking the average of their decision over time or anything like that -- this is more about having good inputs to your decisions. maybe i need better copy :)

re: "decisions and opinions brew over time...": i think it can be very hard to "zoom out" of how you feel in a moment and have perspective, and consequently people make impulsive and emotional decisions. being able to see that 90% of the time you're unhappy with your current job can put a good week in perspective. seeing that 90% of the time you're happy with your relationship can put a fight in perspective. it is easy to get distracted by right now, and hopefully this can help. heck maybe you notice that the biggest factor in your overall happiness is the season -- that could help you avoid some crazy decisions, or maybe inspire a move!

re: "the decisions worth tracking are...": yea i think that is right. i think the point is somewhat softened by the above, but i agree broadly. honestly for me i have "coded" some of my questions so someone reading over my shoulder won't know what i'm actually responding to. the important thing is that you take your temperature over time at random intervals so that you don't just respond when you're feeling extremely one way or the other. for me emails help me achieve this, even if the text of the question is just a prompt for myself

thanks for the comments!
One reason I love documentaries is the people in them are often truly intelligent and knowledgeable, where as tv and the movies are full of people who are supposed to be that but don't talk and act like it. And even if the people in the documentaries are not particularly intelligent, at least they are real human beings confronting real situations, instead of phony imitations.
This should not be downvoted. It is a well argued and supported piece on why the vote is inappropriate, regardless of the merits of Catalonian independence.

I think you’re on to something.

A friend once described his reasons for moving from Manhattan. He said that he was depressed all the time and that he realized that everyone he knew was also depressed. Having grown up in a different part of the country, he saw that this was an environmental issue caused by his surroundings. He found that life was much more pleasant after relocating.

Point being, tt often takes the absence of something to become aware of its impact. We notice discomfort more when we have had comfort before it.

It's still young technology and the energy efficiency will improve with the lightning network or proof of stake or different concepts like filecoin.

The societal gain from these technologies is potentially very large and will hopefully realign interests in the direction of saving the environment rather than bailing out businesses.. But the most sane definition of money is actually energy imo

Also comparing the energy cost of printing physical money with mining cryptocurrencies is favorable to CC's iirc.

Of course you do, everybody wants that. But you also want to pretend that white people are already there, and it's the black people who are the problem. And the civil rights movement wants you to know that it's white people with delicate feels and their heads stuck in the sand that are holding civil rights back. Civil rights advance when white people are made to understand that they're pushing everyone else down.

It's not really coupling queries with components, only fragments. You can build a query with fragments so the query is definitely decoupled.

If two components used in different areas needed common data that would get pieced together through the fragments. Just depends how you architect your app.
I don't know if you have spent much time in Spain, but they have a tendency to be pretty heavy handed even when they don't need to be. It is a large contributor to the Basque separatist movement for example. I am still waiting to get better numbers on how many people voted etc. since the reports are wildly disparate, but I wouldn't be surprised if the move was more to send a message to other separatist movements than to deal with today in itself.

Regardless, I think the bigger take away from these events is that they have made their bed and now must lay in it. Almost any result of this vote could have been more easily dealt with in almost any other way they could imagine.
I read your blog post nice read. With respect I suggest your product is too narrow.... space in salons is a very small target user base. I'm not surprised you didn't get much traffic or sign ups from SU Battlefield.... probably no one watching owns a salon or is a beautician.

This has obvious free-rider problems for things like new video streaming protocols. Why contribute to the development of next generation codecs, for example, if you can just copy the most successful solution of your competitors and get 80% of the benefit for none of the cost?

(I say 80% because the competitor's solution will presumably not be totally optimized for your business needs)

Nations have opted to ignore IP. For example, Sweden didn't respect copyright in the nineteeth century, so anybody could print Ibsen's plays. Or print them with different endings - including a quite popular version of "A Doll's House" with a happy ending where she returns and apologizes instead of leaving her husband! Eventually, Sweden decided it was losing out economically (Ibsen had moved to Italy or something by then) and decided IP was a good thing.

I think the current accepted truth about nicotine is that it doesn’t give anyone anything except nicotine addiction. Any perceived boost is simply making a nicotine addict not feel the cravings for a short while, i.e. just like a non-addict feels like all the time. Possibly, as you say, the same is true of caffeine, but as far as I know, this is not currently a generally accepted fact.

It smelled bad from the very beginning and I think the more time passes the more it gets validated. Well, thanks for finding those links, now I can say "yap I was right". Comey's advice not to prosecute bit being extremely fishy, and that the whole Russia narrative was a mostly a PR campaign. Do I get armchair HN political analyst brownie points?

> You have a very obvious agenda and you're doing a disservice to the rest of HN with your bullshit implication that you "stopped buying the Russia narrative".

What's the agenda? Yeah I stopped buying the Russia narrative after I saw that Crowdstrike's report was the only evidence for it. I didn't just stopped buying today, I stopped buying since it came up. Yet every time I see news with grand promises I think "ah well maybe this is it, let's see what's there" and there nothing.

>smiling a universal human thing that worked everywhere as a sign of friendliness

Smiling is always a sign of friendliness. It's just that some places you cannot expect to smile at nothing and will end up looking silly. In those places even small talk is frowned upon unless you really want to be their friends.

The author missed the most important part in this: In these countries you cannot be friendly and not be friends. In western countries it's polite to smile and be friendly to strangers but we do not expect them to become our friends

> IMO industry leaders have pressure to reinvest their profits in R&D and put it in their new products, regardless of whether they can get patent protection for them or not.

They do. What they don’t have is any incentive to open up that R&D for competitors to use unless they have a way of monetizing it. Selling a patent license is better than many of the alternative such monetization models (e.g. Google’s model of developing Android for free so it can slurp down all the data pushed through Android phones).

As to standards essential patents—-the whole point is that you don’t have to buy the product from the same company that did the original R&D. You can buy someone else’s chip, and the original technology developer still gets compensated with a royalty. This is a system that works really well in a whole host of areas everyone depends on. MPEG, WiFi, LTE, Bluetooth, DDRn, PCI-E, all of these ecosystems are mediated by patents. Companies spend a lot of money developing the technology, then implemented who generally don’t have the expertise to develop this sort of technology themselves pay licenses to implement the standards essential patents. It works and it’s way better than the alternatives.

The + operator is not an explicit numeric conversion. What numeric type is it converting to? In Python you can also combine two lists using the + operator.

Haskell for example requires to be explicit about this:

y = (read "5" :: Int) + 5
Well it might be worth a try - you at least don’t have to worry about killing your sales :)
Yes the benefit is that you can prefetch other page assets then client render new pages using only GraphQL queries. Download the whole site once and and runs more like an app afterwards.

Perhaps a good alternative to the flicker effect would be to put loading indicators in place of each UI component as it loads so you can see the structure.
Consider this javascript function:

function add(a,b) { return a + b; }

Although no conversion is requested explicitly in the function definition, a conversion may take place depending on the types of the arguments passed in:

> add(1,2)
3
>add("1",2)
"12"

The article in question defines implicit conversion in this way, and in my experience it's a fairly common term.

I was pointing out that per this definition, the article is wrong in saying that perl's + operator may perform an implicit conversion. In perl the + operator always performs a numeric conversion of both its operands, regardless of types. By writing + you are explicitly requesting numeric conversion of both arguments.

In general perl doesn't perform implicit conversion (of course there are some exceptions -- it is perl after all). It does this by not overloading operators like + for different operations such as addition and concatenation.

This also has the nice property that you can count on a+b == b+a, unlike python for instance. (However, in python PEP-465, non-commutativity was a stated advantage of adopting @ for matrix multiplication instead of overloading *, go figure).
While well written, it does not attempt justify Spain's physical (police) response to prevent the vote, over a legal (court) response to nullify the vote, which I suspect is the issue most people have with Spain's response (it is certainly what I take offense to), save the following tu quoque:

> One more thing to consider: three years ago, the separatist Catalan government authorised police force to stop a popular “multireferendum” about a number of social issues in Catalonia, confiscating ballot boxes. Clearly, the Catalan leaders do not think that casting a ballot is always okay.

In fact, the piece goes so far as to call the physical response justified:

> Hundreds or thousands of elected officials and public servants in Catalonia are disobeying the law, perverting justice, defying judges and diverting funds for the “referendum”. They had to be stopped, thus the few detentions (all mandated by independent judges who are acting well within the law). That is no excessive use of force.

Good. Let them. The act of hosting a vote does not physically harm anyone, it does not "have to be stopped".
Indict the officials who are in breach of the law afterward.
