Haha I am completely dismayed. So that means if I use File -> "Save Page As..." I can look forward to that eventually sending my entire page to your servers ;)

Again thanks for your replies and hopefully they can be more clear in the future (without being incorrect). And just in case I have sounded like a jerk, I really do love Firefox and I have been using it since it first came out as Phoenix. I appreciate the work you all put into it even if my above comments didn't make that clear. I actually used the Mozilla Suite before that, too. I still have, wear, and love my dinosaur head t-shirt I ordered from the mozilla store soooo long ago. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/Mo...

Human civilization has always made concessions in the name of progress, and as we've progressed, the concessions we're willing to make have changed.

There certainly are environmental (and human) costs associated with producing electricity from solar energy, but the costs between that and coal production and combustion are not exactly the same.

I hope there will be a day when the production of conventional PV will be a concession we're no longer willing to make because something even better has been developed.

In the meantime, in a discussion about the socialized costs of coal and whether that's being fairly factored into arguments about its price, I think "but solar..." is a bit of a red herring. Relevant, but only barely.

Ludwig is memorable to me because he stands out as the essential Nerd long, long before it was OK to be a nerd.

Ludwig’s life was tragic largely because he was so far from society’s norms and expectations. Gay, uninterested in his family’s court, definitely not neurotypical (his brother was likely schizophrenic) and unquestionably nerdy; in the early 1800s, he defied basically every expectation society had of him and paid the price by being deeply unhappy, getting overthrown, and dying in his 30s. He’s a patron saint and martyr of Nerd-dom, almost, although of course the history is more nuanced than that.

His story serves as a reminder of how good us nerds (and anyone outside the “norm”) have it now. Being obsessed with art, opera, science, or computers just makes you a super-fan — there’s a website, subreddit, and convention just for people like you. Computers and the Internet made nerds like Bill Gates cool, and enabled all of us outside of societal norms to find and accept each other. I’m sorry Ludwig never got to post at wagner-fan-forums.com. He would have liked it there.

Can you give me a link to evidence of this? Like an op-ed in a major publication or something? My first google shows articles that affirm "hate speech" is protected speech in the US.

I really can't speak for the UK or Canada. The US has free speech enshrined in the constitution's first amendment; and I'm not aware other countries have such constraints that are as absolute as the first amendment.
>Led the transition to a paperless practice by implementing an electronic booking system and a faster, safer and more accurate business system. Reduced costs of labor by 30% and office overhead by 10%.

Just looking at the first example, this nails the head for me as an ex-recruiter about the best way to write a resume tagline. You didn't "use simplybookly.me," you "(action verb)implemented a (description of thing) booking system that (result in hard numbers) reduced costs of labor by 30%.

Be ready to answer on how you calculated that number, but when you are inevitably asked and come out with an actual method (please god don't lie) it'll be all the more impressive. "Holy shit, this person actually had a good way to measure cost of labor and sought to reduce it numerically!"
I feel like the "how people hold the phone" study is sort of flawed - people probably hold it in each of these positions at different times.

One-handed: clicking audio controls, scrolling through news or similar content

One hand holding, one hand tapping: more precise input of things like phone numbers, browsing web pages, etc.

Two hands holding: typing long messages, some games.

Maybe it's because I have a larger phone (5.5"), but I wouldn't do any input task more than a single button press or scroll using my thumb. I always bust out the other hand for that.
Wait what? How is the problem tech support?
>The main issue people have with the book is that it uses CLISP-specific code in a few places.

This makes sense for a tutorial book, since CLISP is easy to install, very small to download (compared to SBCL), and is a fully featured (ANSI compliant) implementation. So i don't think it was a mistake to choose CLISP.

The recommendation in #lisp for SBCL over CLISP might be because SBCL is nicer to the programmer, offering more features. Also, code runs very fast under SBCL; although i suspect that CLISP compiles code faster.

(If any is interested, here is a quick overview on some of the Lisp implementations available and their salient features.
(Most implementations are free)

ECL - Embeddable Common Lisp
allows you to compile Lisp into any
other system by compiling to C

SBCL - Steel Bank Common Lisp
Produces very fast code,
allows static type checking and other niceties
a fork from the CMU CL impl.

CLISP
Small, easy to install and use,
includes readline REPL and X11 features

ABCL - Armed Bear Common Lisp
Allows you to run Lisp under the Java JVM
and call Java code, or call Lisp code from Java.

CLASP
Compiles Lisp to the LLVM, provides C++ interop

ACL - Allegro Common Lisp
Commercial Lisp, fast, feature rich
includes a Prolog implementation, CLIM GUI
and other nice stuff.

LispWorks
Commercial Lisp, fast, feature rich,
includes an IDE, Java Interface,
and CLIM 2.0 implementation, more features.

ParenScript
This is a small subset of CL that gets translated
(in the server) to javascript

JSCL
A Lisp implementation that runs under Javascript,
providing a REPL and Lisp interpretation on the
browser, for a subset of the CL language.

I don't know about MDMA in particular but over the last years I have seen two times the effect of trips gone wrong. Interestingly both involved women ripping off their clothes (seriously!) and running around screaming at the top of their lungs for hours. One especially was alone in the middle of the LA National Forest hours away from civilization next to pretty big cliffs. I just happened to hike by and could hear her for miles. I never do drugs so I just want to make sure I have someone close who knows what he/she is doing and can handle the situation if I respond weirdly.
Huh. Do you think investors are happy with how it turned out? Is there any significant interest group that's happy with how it turned out? If not, I'd have a hard time calling that smart.

I get that the people with power may have maximized their personal short-term financial outcomes. Which is certainly one way to define smart. But it strikes me as a very narrow one.

Look at Bezos, for example. He's spent the last couple of decades mostly ignoring what investors wants on a quarterly basis. And Amazon's gone from strength to strength because of it. If AOL's execs were smart, then that makes Bezos stupid. If that's the case, I guess I'd rather be dumb.
Not to diminish your amazing work. I'm not sure brand-first is user-first. Its most user-friendly to use the standard phone OS controls that they are already familiar with.
> Imagine our society passes laws to ban the publishing of abhorrent and bigoted ideas. No longer are people allowed to express racism, sexism, homophobia, or antisemitism. So we ban Mein Kampf.

Is this an actual proposal?

Most things I have seen in the discourse that seem to be objected to on free speech grounds are e.g. proposals to prevent certain speakers from speaking at colleges, proposals to prevent certain groups from having marches, proposals for certain discussion websites to ban particularly toxic/abusive users, etc.

This seems to me to be very different from banning Mein Kampf as a book. I think you can coherently believe in the above bans while also believing that Mein Kampf should be available on Project Gutenberg etc. for anyone to read and evaluate, for people to understand what is this scary book that people keep talking about, etc.

To take the example of banning speakers at colleges - I don't think any one of the people for whom no-platforming has been proposed lacks a platform of their own. They have websites. They have books. Their ideas are out there. If their ideas are in fact coherent enough for "the opportunity of exchanging error for truth," that debate can already happen.

If they aren't, the virtue-signaling approach of putting up "ideological minorities" in college lecture halls to say the exact same thing they've said 100 times before isn't going to help anyone reach truth.

L0 isn't interested in DRM, or surveillance, or any other invasive method of rooting out unlicensed users. That's an indirect way of saying that L0's approach will accept a certain amount of unlicensed use. The same way that book publishers or music distributors who offer DRM-free files accept some unlicensed use of those products.

L0 shares the approach of the more enlightened ebook and music stores: Make it as easy as possible to do the right thing.

I have this feeling too, especially around the sci-fi of my teenaged years (Niven, et al). It's important to remember that this is the expected result of progress; it would probably be worrisome if middle-brow media from a generation ago didn't seem sexist.

It also seems like we apply current-generation standards most acutely to the N-1 generation. Somehow, a 1980 novel where a woman needs a man to save her from a monster is more offensive than a 1780 novel where a woman needs a man to have an identity or own property or leave the house. Perhaps that's just a matter of emotional distance.

Vuex (https://vuex.vuejs.org/en/intro.html)
I have no data to back this up, but my gut tells me it happens a lot more at companies where the CEO isn't a founder, or doesn't have a high degree of ownership.

Agreed, once the original vision is gone something else takes its place and it is just a ghost of what it was.

This goes hand in hand with the owners/founders being more focused on product development, engineering and innovation. Engineering and innovation are costly when marketing or bizdev/accounting/metrics runs your company which typically happens when the founder leaves. Engineering takes a back seat to decision making, marketing tries to pump revenue out of a product that may be successful not but is not being iterated or innovated on, or the next big thing is not worked on because the company is fat and happy until the grace from that innovation runs out. People join during times of success to latch on and cash out, when the hard work of innovating comes along, those people are gone.

Companies like Amazon, Apple, Google win because they are willing to take innovative risks, engineering is not in the back seat but a driving force and they invest most of their profits back into more innovation, Amazon is probably the best out there at this. Microsoft used to be as well and is coming back a bit but they fell into the trap above when Ballmer took over for a while, more focused on revenues and metrics than the next big step which will always put the current players out of business, or missing a step, if they don't adapt.
I don't even see most of my posts so I think something is still filtered or else I am being downvoted so they don't show? A mod said the new account spam thing was released Don't understand HN well as I have always lurked and never participated.

I have told my story in forums many times and it never got me anywhere but more exposed and depressed so I don't feel comfortable giving too many details...though I sort of laid out the basics in another post. My situation is common but the details are unique so I'd not be hard to ID and feel more vulnerable.

No need to apologize for not being able to solve it...the fact you would if you could speaks to your character. My anecdotal evidence is the majority just don't care until it is them.

> This is how 99% of people are. I wouldn't have believed it until I became a victim. Even people who claim to love you and you have known for life.

I used to be a republican. Or Libertarian. Blame my parents, as I do. They're dyed-in-the-wool republicans/christians, where if you have bad happen, you must have deserved it. So they dont help because you should be able to rescue yourself.

One of their most shameful moments was how horrible they talked of welfare. They qualified for it years ago, and made a big point of pride that they never took it. It to them was this huge badge of shame.

So when I had really bad times, I did take it. And instead of hiding, I said so on Facebook. Boy, my parents hated that. Pity, cause I didnt care. And that it did help me get back up.

> In the end people care about themselves and if you challenge their just-world view by suffering in front of them, or make them feel bad or guilty, they attack. The sad part is for those people nothing will change it but being forced into despair themselves and then it's too late for both of us.

Indeed. Most in this country will never see that. Or they are that, and they'll never be here to say so. Hell, even the "richies" here in HN have had many discussions about it. And one idea that is mentioned is to sell services to them - and its summarily shot down. Why? "There's no money in helping poor people. They don't have money."

> I made an account just to comment on this issue after lurking for a long time but it's surely just another pointless action because it's the same story over and over. Empathy is not common.

We're around. We aren't popular, especially around here. People who focus on empathy simply cannot become capitalists. Because they have to make decisions that preserve human-ness over money, which is completely antithetical to the idea of Venture Capitalism, Capitalists, Big Business, Disruption, and on and on.

There are, of course, token projects that try to show that this class of people care, but in all seriousness, when I stop seeing a fistfull of dollars to X project for "UBI" and briefcases of dollars to lobbying, I'll know that equation has changed.
> the consensus

The consensus for bitcoin is made within the network itself. Not on a mentally unstable person's poll.

Luke-jr, aka the Blockstream coder/troll who has used his pool to maliciously kill other cryptocoins[1], made that poll based on Coinbase KYC info. That polling platform only has use within a tiny segment of Bitcoin users that trust Luke after his abhorrent actions and those that are also on Coinbase with verified accounts.

That is not consensus at all. Bitcoin as it turns out has mechanics for building and signalling consensus but Blockstream & co have been pounding sand trying to subvert it for years now.

Here is an enlightening thread on the type of awful actions Blockstream/Core has been up to regarding 2x and signals to support it among the Bitcoin community. Matt, Drak and the other Blockstream/Core thugs spend their time screaming at people on reddit/twitter while inventing lies[2] that necessitate being called out by their victims[3].

My point is that "commercial" versus "noncommercial" isn't the same distinction you want to use for "pay us" versus "don't pay us". The proper price point for many commercial uses of software products is still zero.

> They control what the neck block looks like, they control what goes into blocks, and they control what's considered consensus.

Not really. Bitcoin's rules define what qualifies as a valid block. Users apply those rules to decide what the current blockchain is. If anything, miners are dependent on users accepting the blocks that they mine in order to be able to sell their mining rewards and fees to pay (usually in fiat) for the electricity they use to mine.

The real "ruling" happens at the exchanges where BTC is valued.

The miners spend efforts finding blocks to add to the blockchain, and can be selective about what transactions they let in. But they are constrained by Bitcoin's rules. They could try changing the rules, but if users don't accept the changes then their blocks won't match the set of rules the users are using and their mining rewards and fees won't have value.

Miners are further constrained by "game theory" as they compete against each other. If one miner chooses to exclude transactions another miner is prepared to mine, then the transaction fee on those transactions won't be earned. Mining is competitive, and leaving money on the table like this widely can be expected to be loss making as the cost to mine a block is no lower if there are fewer transactions in it.

The one thing miners have going for them is that they already pool their resources so can organise. But so can the exchanges.
Yup, exactly. To be clear about my position, I believe that "free speech" is an impractical ideal, and we as a society need to be clear about what sorts of speech we value and what we don't, and if we don't do that, we're left with one of two bad options: either we have to err so hard on the side of free speech that we can't ban threats or incitement to violence or anything at all, or we let the government define "threats" in a way that is prone to government abuse just like everything else is.

Sure, AI might destroy civilization and/or upend the primacy of humankind. But if history has taught us anything, it's that we're gonna go ahead and do it anyways if it's possible.

It's worked so far.
It's not that companies are "operating intelligently" it's that they aren't: they're operating on a principle that maximizes profits (and ROI for shareholders) at the expense of everything else, that's the central guiding principle, and nobody at a publicly traded firm can oppose it successfully, without being voted off the board by shareholders. It's effectively an algorithm that delegates tasks to human operators, and automation is slowly replacing the human component.

> Karl Popper called this the "Paradox of Tolerance."

Popper was talking about a last resort, not something which should be applied as a blanket policy of suppression of "unacceptable" viewpoints.

This gross misreading of Popper's thoughts on free speech was popularized by a cartoon which went flying around social media after Charlottesville. But here's what he actually said on the subject:

> I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise.
