>...the wrong ways people talk...

>...shaping and normalizing the culture and society we have.

There is no wrong way to talk. Nobody is advocating giving terrorists and bigots a forum where they can publicly discuss their ideas with people actually concerned with the progress of society.

But policing thoughts and criminalizing people for _reading_ something on the internet is just indistinguishable from fascism and there should be no tolerance for it. Especially not for furthering the 'right ways' in which people should talk according to your statement.
There was a crisis around 2010 and this did not happen.

First of all, I have literally never heard a critique about the negatives of american free speech. Could you help me understand the negatives?

Second, I do think americans are majorly better off than western europeans for free speech. Consider efforts to ban wearing clothing: that is not how you build a healthy, supportive, productive society, though it is perhaps how you let a culture stagnate. Or, perhaps consider this very article: it is not illegal to read something. (Possesion and distribution are another thing entirely.)

Finally, for better or worse, american free speech has plenty of bounds. Critically, those bounds are typically nowhere near politics or morals, except perhaps reflected in hate speech.
Sorry, you're confusing issues with a completely unrelated issue (SHA1 collissions). I haven't asked about that.
The best, less biased and least slippery slopey way to do this would be to provide more information, not less. If people are in a position to justify violence through something they read online, they also need to learn the opposite side and why that something they read might be wrong.

Of course this assumes things happen in a vacuum, but in reality people don't really justify violence by reading a thing as much as they confirm and reinforce pre-existing ideas they have. In which case all you've managed to do is to give power to already too powerful people (government) for silencing thoughts they disagree with.

Also FWIW i disagree with the notion that trying to restrict the ways people talk and think has anything to do with freedom. And consider that your thoughts about 1984 might also be your inability to see yourself being wrong (i mean if you cannot consider yourself being wrong in this case and since what you consider a good solution is shown as a bad one in 1984, then you consider 1984 to be bad instead of your solution).
I beleive the killer app on this kind of devices is WhatsApp, as most other stuff like Facebook or Instagram can be used through the browser before native apps are provided. But WhatsApp is so omnipresent that convincing them to make an app for your platform would really help. Maybe if Ubuntu Phone managed to get a native WhatsApp client, it would have held on.

what is most fascinating about nassim's writings is the night-follows-day certainty with which they will cause a flock of bitter nerds to crawl out of their dimly-lit offices to unwittingly mutter one item or another from the "nassim taleb is wrong because he's not one of us" list, which isn't so much to proof him wrong, as it is to quickly find one another so that they can fall into each others arms, delivering reassurances that they are not wrong in opposing him, and that their distinct lack of real-world success stems from the cruelness and wrongness of the outside world, not because their supposed superior insights are not, in fact, so.

Their all-time favorite, to be repeated with ceremonial regularity, is that his insights are 'trivial'. ignoring for a moment that these people also believe it 'trival' to bring a product to market once it has been figured out (by them) in the lab (if they even lower themselves to think in terms of 'products' for the 'populace'), treating his literary writings, which are intended for the general public, which is very much in need of trivial insights, as if they were his scientific writings, then dismissing his scientific writings based on his literary writings, is simply malicious, owed to the fact that he is the wrong kind of academic, who lifts weights and calls people 'imbecile' on twitter, hence reflects poorly on their comic book-like self image of scientists as some kind of quasi-master-race, which is above cursing, emotion and whose physicality is a mere inconvenience, getting in the way of dreaming up ever more distant alternate realities, to be sold to the public as discovery.

Hey HN,

I'm helping organize the conference and I'd love to hear some anyone that's run, or been to a conference before, as this is my first.
But how does Bank A know to ask Bank B? That’s what Equifax and friends help with: aggregating the data (and then putting a number to it). It’s a great idea, but how would you implement it? If you cut out the middleman, banks will just form their own centralized system that holds all that data making it easier to access, and... oh, we’re right back where we started.
Not sure what you mean by "inaccessible", but you can use monads pretty much anywhere.

In my opinion the biggest hurdle is the fact that getting to unrestand purely functional programming is pretty difficult. You start with monads, but quickly find out they do not compose. Move on to monad transformers, good for the simple stuff, but then you hit another wall because they don't compose either! Move on (up!) to tagless final and/or free monads. There are _a lot of_ concepts that don't have any equivalent in "the real world". The gang of four design patters are a child's toy in comparison.

> The jews in Nazi Germany spoke german.

Oh, ferchrissakes, you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. The OP did a 'name one' gambit, and I pointed out that there were plenty.

Now, I'm not sure if you know this, but in WWII, the Germans fought more than just their own German-speaking Jewish population. They fought the French (don't speak German), the British (don't speak German), the Americans (don't speak German), the Polish (don't speak German), the Belgians (don't speak German), the Soviets (a collection of people, none of whom speak German), the Danish (don't speak German), the Norwegians (don't speak German), the Canadians (don't speak German), the Australians (don't speak German), the Dutch (DO speak German... but their assisting colonies didn't), the Indians (don't speak German), the Kiwis (don't speak German), the South Africans (don't speak German), the Greeks (don't speak German), the Chinese a little bit (don't speak German), the Rhodesians (don't speak German), some Yugoslavians (don't speak German), the Kenyans (don't speak German), an assortment of smaller, lesser-involved nations such as Costa Rica (also don't speak German) and, towards the end of the war, Italy... which doesn't speak German.

Not to mention that on the eve of the war, there were only about 200,000 jews left in Germany - most emigrated in the half-decade beforehand to distant places like the US. The 6M jews that were killed in the Holocaust were drawn from all over Europe - about half of them from Poland. It wasn't 6M German-speaking jews that died in the camps.

WWII claimed the lives of over 60M people, and 200k people is a rounding error on this number. It's drawing a ridiculously long bow to claim it as a civil war because a few of the victims lived in-country.

> you can't just hand-wave civil wars away.

Again, I wasn't. I was responding to the OP's 'name one'. It wasn't even a 'name one where it's a cause', just 'name one where it's a barrier'.

> Discriminating against people for their opinions is nonconstructive

No, it is the correct way to handle the intolerant.

> should be punished by prohibiting those people from holding positions of power... right?

I would be fine with that. And then you'll say "Oh but then you must agree that you must accept all immigrants!" because apparently it's all or nothing, no nuance at all.

> you just make them angry and more entrenched

I honestly don't care if they're angry and entrenched - whilst they advocate beliefs that treat others as lesser, they should be denied a platform.

> Where do you think Trump came from?

Massive GOP gerrymandering and voting restrictions to disenfranchise Democrats coupled with a broken electoral system that overly favours the (racist) Southern states all helped along by massive foreign government interference in the process tied to an idiotic media who suffered mass Clinton derangement and a late shiv from an idiot in the FBI.

Brexit only had the corrupting interference, to be fair.

The Rasa Core framework has been in development for 1.5 years, so we're incredibly excited to launch it & make it accessible to everyone.

We wanted to make Machine-Learning based dialogue usable for as many developers as possible. There's so much great research in conversational AI but very little that developers can actually use to build bots and voice apps.

One of the big challenges was making Rasa Core useful on day one, when you have no training data. We came up with the interactive learning approach, where you teach the system by talking to it and providing feedback. Rasa lets you scale from nothing up to a robust dialogue system trained on a large number of real conversations.

We're so happy with the community that's developed around Rasa NLU, and so we're really, really excited to see what people build with Core.
Can you please provide some real-world examples of what you mean, because I can't figure the kind of things you're talking about when you talk about excessive empathy being a problem for others.

Not so - a blockchain or other type of decentralized shared ledger is required for the reputation system to work as it should. Reputation needs to be calculated and verified so that it can exist independently of some sort of gatekeeper or platform (as you are implying).

Tokens on the network also are essential for Colony governance (voting, dispute resolution, dividends/rewards, etc.) - This is why Colony is built on Ethereum.
I understand if you feel otherwise, but I see no unfairness in Nobels going only to project leaders and PIs.

I think the sore losers act entitled to something they didn't earn. I don't think that means I'm missing something about humans. Why would you want to suggest that? Your argument ought to stand on its own not by pretending I'm less. That's not nice. Nor kind. But, look, I am missing many many things in my understanding and experience about humans, and life, and every topic, because I don't understand anything completely or nearly so. And I've only experienced what I have in my life. I'm okay with that.

If you think people prefer fairness, then maybe you didn't face what I did, or maybe you just reacted differently (and if you did then you better teach me how!). I learned people prefer themselves, to fairness, and will cooperate or cheat as either pays off.

I'm no better than that. Let me show you: If you don't think the same way as me, then clearly there is something missing about your understanding of humanity, or your experience. See? I like to cheat, too. When it pays off. Or maybe it's fair to give like you get? What do you think, given that you said there's something missing in my understanding, was that comment fair and justified?

My view is both of us are missing many things about understanding and experience, and if we think differently it's just because we had different experiences and reactions. There's not one true way. And I think that's fine. Diversity right?

So if we can put all that nastiness behind us, what's our common ground, how do you think we ought to make the Nobel prizes more fair and still have them be effective? Do you think we ought to preserve, dismantle or alter the hierarchies and institutions that have worked for science? And do you think we can agree that "fairness" is not a universal good, and that in this case we have (possibly competing) interests such as progress, or effectiveness?
Instead of such a knee-jerk reaction to crypto, perhaps you can ask if the crypto token involved makes sense in this use case. If it doesn't, like in 99% of the cases, you can dismiss it then. Colony, IMHO, is one of the few projects where it does make sense to have a token.
For -Wunused specifically, the correct idiom is "(void)x;". It's a no-op that marks x as having been used. Yes, in an ideal world you wouldn't have to do that, but sometimes you're overriding a virtual method and genuinely don't need to use one of the parameters.
If each signature occupies an effective space of 1k (not sure how feasible this is), then for 1000 songs this would take 1M, 10M for 10k songs, etc

Every year gives us around 100 popular songs (add a % of location-specific popular ones), so it seems the plan is feasible.
The book "Disciplined Minds" by Jeff Schmidt explores this idea pretty well.

I love freedom. There is also currently a lot of precedent for saying there are wrong ways that people talk. Twitter is full of conversations where one person is criticising the other for using a word the wrong way ( and I don't mean grammar ) or using a particular word, or having a particular idea.
As previous poster I would advise against this. While your intentions might be good it is usually a bad idea to try to intervene in domestic affairs of another country. See Iraq/Iran/Libya/Egypt and other examples from Middle East. You might just anger the local population and fuel anti American sentiment.

Plus also the point about Chinese people not necessarily sharing your western liberal values is a good one. It's not true that western values are universal (they are just a product of our society and history) and perhaps they have slightly different set of values based on their society and history.
I doubt you played Street Fighter 2 in the arcades when it first came out, then. This was a game where it was possible to redizzy people simply by spamming jab, or one where moves often did insane damage. SF really only became balanced around Super Street Fighter Turbo in the arcades, and a lot of people who play fighting games now don't realize how bad or frustrating a lot of that generation was.
I work for a digital workers cooperative.

It is organised non-hierarchically and via consent (i.e. a modified and lighter form of consensus decision making that emphasises "I won't stop this" over "I 100% in agreement) - there is no voting but decisions still get made. Its called sociocracy[1].

Here is roughly how it works:
1. Someone brings in work, meeting clients etc.
2. They put together a proposal on this work, summoning together a team from people who are around who have the relevant skills from a pool of people in the company and surround networks.
3. This goes up on an internal jobs board called CoPitch[2] where everyone decides how much time they think they will spend on it, how much they want to be paid and so on. They say "I will do this for this much money to this time scale".
4. This passes through a few circles - business development, tech etc - to check it is reasonable.
5. Work goes out to client.
6. If client says yes the resourcing circle coordinates a time box to put those people on that particular job.
7. The work is done. People are paid out of the company what they signed up for. If it doesn't deliver or goes over budget then they have to say why or their pay is basically going to be what they said they would be paid.

Apart from the formal members of the cooperative, we are all free lancers.

I've not read the Colony paper in detail (but will) yet on the surface of it this sounds like some of what we do, but in software. In my experience all of this is moderately hard face to face when you are co-located. I treat this with high degrees of interest but a good dose of skepticism that this is a technical fix for an organisational problem that will, despite the software contracts, still have many of the hard organisational problems associated with this sort of thing.

As far as I can see it tries to tackle this to some extent automatically and quantitively with reputation systems and so on. However, off the bat it strikes me that there are going to be "off grid" problems (outside of the software and protocol) that occur that will require a more "cultural" fix that may be harder. We know from digital sociology that these reputational systems create their own hierarchies and imbalances in the system and I am wondering if Colony can prevent these in any way. As I say, open minded, but skeptical, having been doing something like this IRL for a year, eight months.

> A lot of these games are extremely difficult and require twitch reflexes, which is something a game burdened with pushing a lot of pixels has trouble replicating.

It's not that they have trouble replicating it, they are intentionally avoiding it. With higher fidelity comes higher development costs, so they have to sell more copies to make a profit. One way to do that is to make games easier. People in general want games that can be completed with the least amount of effort on their part.
