Could you cite some sources for the above claims?

Snopes says the increase in reported sexual assaults in Sweden could possibly be to do with the definition of "sexual assault" changing in 2013[0]

Regarding the Paedophile ring, I haven't read any material on it - but there have been several high profile non-Muslim paedophilia cases in Britain, and it would be unsurprising to me if police didn't turn a blind eye at some point. There are some claims that police didn't properly investigate reports in the Jimmy Saville case [1]

Regarding the claim that "most terrorism is motivated by Islam" - are you referring to terrorism globally, or in western countries? And what time period are we talking about here? One interesting data point is that Britain is experiencing historically low rates of terrorism (and most of it was related to The Troubles in Northern Ireland, not Islam) [2]

So the facts above are correct, but the root cause is misattributed to Islam?

...facebook wasn't the first social network. To be clear, I'm not arguing it's a great idea. I'm arguing that it's not worth dismissing the work as ludicrous.

The fact that I'm arguing this on HN of all places makes me wonder what happened to the attitudes of hackers, geeks, and entrepreneurs. Let people do something dumb and fail. It's OK to do that sometimes. If it's dumb, don't invest in it.
I don't think a burden of proof needs to be constructed at this time. OP stated a perceived issue and a possible fix for it.

The top reply at the time was a low level deflection of the idea rather than a constructive feedback of the idea / feature as others did above. Deflections don't constructively argue for one side or the other. It is merely to shut down an idea and stop discussion.
If you see it that way, yes. But getting people to sign up on your website without the 25% cut is also not for free, think about costly advertising and so on. This is probably what Github and other marketplaces bet on. You always pay for any channel, whether it's direct cuts or upfront costs to get a customer.
Universities are tools of capital. That their products are the finest specimens of bourgeoisie sensibilities is not a bug, it is a feature. The world view people leave with is designed to destroy worker solidarity in the most efficient way possible.
> I'll bet there are some French loanwords in English that aren't in French any more?

I don't know any and I don't think I'll be able to spot them since they aren't in French anymore.

But (from your link), there are words coming from Old French in English which then went back in French, but usually keeping the English pronunciation.

Because of its ubiquity, I would put them on par. However, there are many, many more players in trucking than in aerospace which complicates things.
It has to be resurrection of the idea in [probably] better way. These marshrutki were prohibited/heavily restructured long time ago, because everything was wrong with them: drugged drivers, half-working brakes, non-closing doors, refuelling with passengers inside, overloading, uncontrolled cash. These still appear in smaller cities (in much better state), but it is surprising for me to hear about it in SPB.

Not a St.Petersburg citizen though, maybe they managed it right way from the start, but these minibuses appeared long since SU (assuming we’re talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAZelle ). Transporting system of SU was a thing that I really hated in my partially soviet childhood. “Let’s go to ...” was one of worst things I could hear.

You actually expect that from a sub called "the donald". You don't expect that kind of bias from a sub called "politics".
I didn't speed up the video. That is the original.
I don't think it's possible to separate tech from politics unless it's an extremely narrow focus on strict scientific & technical discussion. The site would lose most of its value under those conditions, as it's populated by humans that interact or collide with politics on a frequent basis in very important ways.

Commerce, communications, privacy, speech, expression, lifestyle, journalism, entertainment & culture, knowledge, societal debate, government, money, wealth - it all increasingly flows through technology/platforms that techies, nerds, geeks (whatever term you prefer) now heavily influence or directly control.

There's no going back, it's all going to get more political rather than less as governments gets deeper into assigning regulations to the Internet.
Yea, this just sounds like asset-backed securities with central banking cut out.

This is a side-effect of tech becoming mainstream. Science and business have always been intertwined with politics, and it's silly to pretend they haven't. Tech now is too - from allegations of monopoly against Google to Facebook's ability to change a population's opinion on things.

These are all very worth talking about. Not least because people are going to be talking about them whether we do or not, and the discourse benefits from people with actual technical knowledge contributing towards it.
Please explain. I was under the impression the reason why slippery slope arguments are unacceptable is because events do not necessarily cause more extreme events to occur.
I don't have any genealogical insights (I am half Armenian, half a mix of western European), but I am the same way. I drink iced coffees year round. I wear the lightest thinnest jacket I can get away with in the winter. I sleep with a fan blasting. My best guess is it's a metabolic thing--I run a little warmer/faster than most (though I suppose that doesn't explain why).

Edit: And to address the blood pressure comment, I have always had normal to low blood pressure, so I don't think it's that.
Exactly. UEFI is a bad idea implemented badly.
That doing all of this stuff via rpcs vs function calls is crazy I believe.
How can you post such a racist comment?
They don't. It's strictly recreational. Right now one is in 2nd year calculus, and the other is in "Algebra 2 and trig." There is little or no use of computation in their classes, perhaps because it's so cumbersome. When there is any computation, there is an emphasis on the graphing calculators because they're allowed by the standardized tests, and the teacher is familiar with them. The Algebra teacher even stipulates that he can only work with TI calculators, not Casio.

I think there are a couple of broader issues here. First of all, I'd like to see more of what I call computation for lack of a better term, in the K-12 math curriculum. This isn't for turning people into professional programmers, but because computation has had a huge influence on how people do both practical and theoretical math. Thus, a computation-free K-12 curriculum misrepresents what math is.

Of course the other issue is teacher training, and standardized testing. Changing the curriculum requires changes to both teacher training and the tests. If it's not on the test, then it can't be taught. Remember proofs in geometry? Gone.
>Ah, that's the crux: racism and misogyny are terrible enough that if you hate it, you must be correct.

As is required to maintain what I would call a "democracy" with "individual rights". We have to be vehemently intolerant of intolerance and marginalization (in general), and this is more important than free speech. Free speech is an artefact of-, not a requirement for democracy. Tolerance is required, however. Some people get this backwards, usually the kind of people who can't keep their foot out of their mouth.
You're changing goalposts. If the right had not been willing to suspend democracy in the name of their own hunger for power, 30% or not Hitler would not have gained power.
Thanks. Yeah, not really a "web service", just a reference tool, along with an NPM module you can use.

Also, I’ll be extending the device/resolutions listing, so hopefully it can be a handy reference for designers/developers.
Huh? Pushing? The social media companies continually denied it until pressed. It was the US Intelligence Community that "pushed" it.

And the French Intelligence Community. And the Canadian Intelligence Community. And the Netherlands Intelligence Community. And the British Intelligence Community. And the German Intelligence Community...
What's the "much more overhead"? As far as I know, in the current state of Brave you have to buy tokens, just like you put money in flattr. In the future model, Brave will show you ads vs flattr taking money directly - is that much more overhead?

(The implementations might differ in other important things, e.g. privacy or fee structure, but the basic user attention model seems similar enough to me)
We would never hear about that, either it happening or not.
Should be relatively easy to try it out as a fuse filesystem.
Buying music is primarily supporting the distribution network that supports the artist, which has its pros and cons. I normally go to live shows and buy shirts or merchandise to support an artist because the margins on shirts, for example, are a lot better for the artist compared to the CDs. The label may pay for touring needs but a ton of artists not named Taylor Swift have to pay for almost everything themselves either because the label fronts no money or because the label will force a loan on the artist by having them pay it back in the form of ticket sales. Meanwhile, the label oftentimes works with venues to get a cut of, say, alcohol sales from them too.

LPs and such, while coveted by hipsters, is really tough to recommend as a revenue stream for more mainstream genres. The music business has devolved back for many cases where it’s possibly better for an artist to experience play local shows and promote themselves as an entrepreneur rather than to be an employee of a label as almost an unpaid intern.

Which point is true and has nothing to do with the question of whether your claim re the library of Alexandria was false. You could have replied, earlier, that you didn't care one way or another about which library was burnt, and regretted if you had inadvertently spread misinformation about something you were not primarily concerned about. You didn't do that. I take it you are doing that now, just in a far less than civil manner. Please note that I do not use italics, here.

If you are defended "final", last destruction of a rebuilt library intended to be as grand - I am unaware of support for this, but would be interested.
When a US citizen does business overseas, putting the money into a offshore bank account outside the united states makes absolutely a lot of sense. The article makes it appear that people are somehow doing something wrong by doing business outside of their home country and then not bringing the money back to their home country. The big reason people don't bring the money back to their home country is because the money is subject to tariffs and fees which have nothing to do with the generating of the money in the first place, so it makes more sense to keep it offshore than to bring it to the US.
where is the authority of ownership?... as in, if someone else or group of people own tokens, where's the authority that will back them up if they want to force residency on the property?... if you take your tokens to the police, will they help you evict someone?... no. until there's common authority somewhere, tokens are useless for ownership of physical property.
Many states use tax money to improve the lives of citizens by providing healthcare, education and so on.

And so what ? They also wage war, do you like contributing to death due to wars abroad ?

How do you morally justify taking money away from those services just so you can buy a new Jaguar? How do you morally justify the increased tax burden on everyone else caused by you not contributing your fair share?

What is your definition of 'fair share' ? Paradise papers are about legal optimizations almost all the time.

Also, Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor.

There's two different story of Robin Hood. Some say he stole back money from taxes to give it back the the poor (taxpayers)

Right. Unrestricted, adult conversation is what makes it reddit, not kindergarten. It's not always respectful but neither is real discourse in person. If you make it all kittens and candy, you will lose many demographics.
When I want to talk politics I go to a political forum I am a member off (one of the oldest political forum websites out there). Even there there's slight political slight in one direction but at the very least, given how old the forum is, there are members with tens of thousands of posts and great reputation (since they have been part of community for a decade) representing all different political affiliations.

Today's Democrats are pretty far to the left, but I don't think TechShops' complicated business model failed because of that. I'm sure the high cost of insurance didn't help and thank Obama for that, plus all the lawyers. But the Maker thing was a fad.

It will come back a different way, it's not completely dead, it's just that people realized it is actually difficult to design, cut, carve, weld, mold and otherwise create.

Sure. Of course the communists tend to be very "you'll be first up against the wall when the revolution comes".

Both sides of that fight seem to have legitimate cause to claim self-defense.

>They aren't calling for random white people, religious people, or fiscally responsible people to be thrown from helicopters.

No, but they do seem to be a hair away from actively endorsing subjugation. A lot of them seem to have already taken steps to make sure that that demographic can't have a voice in their movement. They also seem to have set the precedent that any criticism of their activism from outside their movement makes you an enemy. I get the feeling that a lot of them would do all those terrible things, if they could. There are fundamental tenets of the movement that give people an excellent excuse to do horrible things.

Instead, we could just, not? I liked the "judge people by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin" thing we had going on. That's an easy rule to enforce, but less so when you start carving out special exceptions that mostly benefit your voter base.
I think that Apple would not have had quite the same resurgence. POSIX compatibility is one of the unsung heroes of the post-OS X era, and BeOS wasn't quite compatible enough.

Guidelines for submission:

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon..."

Since the rich avoiding taxes isn't some new phenomenon, this is off-topic.
How we treat advertising on social media is a matter of convention, a social negotiation. If we agree that it's just targeting demographics and not endorsing the actual content, then that is what it means, and advertising dollars wouldn't care about the content. The effectiveness of social media advertising doesn't need to be sensitive to content.

And maybe it isn't totally different from newspapers and TV news programs. Just like we don't associate advertising on news media with the often violent and disturbing content of the news itself, we don't need to treat social media advertising as endorsing its user-generated content. And in fact, we haven't been doing that until the recent YouTube controversy.
I really want to use/like Vim. Sounds like I'm going to say it not great, but actually this might be a call for help...

I have used Vim for a couple years I think, maybe more now and learned enough to write my own vimrc file from scratch, understanding all the parts I'm adding, what they do and why and sync it via version control etc etc.

I use it on every server I administer/whenever I use the terminal.

I've added many of the plugins mentioned here, they're great.

But I just can't get around the visual layout and moving throughout a project/codebase. Maybe it's my brain, but I highly value visual representation of the open files I'm working on.

Something like Sublime Text with the open tabs visible is just key for me. I can replicate the sidebar with NERDTree which is OK (still a bit annoying navigating it but whatever) but how can I do the same regarding tabs. Alright buffers, you know what I mean. I want to see a visual representation of the files I've got open, not through CtrlP or a key combo, but on screen like in Sublime Text.

Can it be done?
This is a case of knowing the rules so well that you know when you can break them.

Its also a historical artifact from the days when many programmers wrote assembly yet compilers started getting good.

There’s also an element of avoiding premature optimization: don’t assume the compiler will product slower code or that if it does it will matter in your specific application.

At the very least you should give the compiler a chance, profile, then hand-tune after you’ve fixed all the low-hanging fruit.

I'd really like a code review tool that is code aware. That is, it treats the diff as code instead of plain text. I'd like to be able to figure out where a method is called from, go to definition and so on. Basically the same stuff I can do in my editor, but without having to clone the branch.
HTA were awesome, I wrote a very rich UI Innosetup-alike entirely in it back in the late 90s. Everything was there, it exposed pretty much any system interface via COM, and everything pristinely documented in Microsoft style
Parts of the old Web Services stack.

It is obvious why SOAP died (to me at least). It was a solution in search of a problem that was already solved by REST/HTTP with generic payloads.

BUT.... things like WSDL that gave you an interface description... it would be nice if something like that had survived.

The closest thing to this that I know of is Swagger. But not having a standard machine-readable way to integrate with REST APIs/services is a missing piece of the puzzle I think.

The Web Services Description Language provided that. I'm surprised that or an equivalent never got traction.
Sure, when I worked on boats as a deckhand in Kentucky, I know that international politics were intricately tied into my day to day life.

On a serious note, most people don't vote. Keeping out of politics is not a luxury few have, it's the choice the majority makes.

I disagree. Some of those are related to technology or are an interesting new phenomenon but in this case it doesn't fit.

The guidelines specifically state that this would be an "off-topic" submission. If these types of topics are wanted then the guidelines should be modified or a separate section should be created.
> First off, the first amendment is specifically with respect to congress, and I don't understand why I have to say this so often.

It's also been 'incorporated' against the states (and their sub-governments like municipalities).

But free speech, as a political value, isn't restricted to the U.S. Congress. That may be why you keep repeating something that's mostly irrelevant.

Wanting to "escape into pockets of like minded individuals" is pretty much what Reddit is. I can sympathize with the idea that Reddit, or similar sites, should host anything, as long as it's restricted to 'pockets' that accept it.

A lot of the worst behavior is basically people from one pocket invading other pockets and posting unacceptable content. I think it'd be great if Reddit provided (more) effective tools for the mods to police that.
There have been attempts; they haven't succeeded.
The road to hell is paved in good intentions. If I had to guess, a well meaning and experienced engineer or engineering leader proposed launching a legit bug bounty program. Maybe they pitched the idea to their boss, showing them hackerone or bugcrowd as an example. Everyone thought it was a good idea, but the further the concept shifted along in development and away from the original engineer, the less people understood what a bug bounty program actually is. By the time it gets through legal, and marketing, and the executive team, it turns into a downside protection effort rather than quality/security improvement effort. I have to imagine this is pretty common in large organizations that keep their departments siloed off from one another, reducing collaboration.

>The US's tax policy is to tax income when it's brought into the country.

Maybe true in some circumstances, but not in all. I'm a US based person who recently did a large transaction in another country. The money is in my partner's account (I do not have a bank account in the country).

I wanted to know if I needed to pay taxes in the year I actually bring the money to the US or for the year I did the transaction. I consulted a tax accountant, and they said it has to be the year I conducted the transaction - regardless of whether I brought the money into the US or not. The only condition where I would not pay is if somehow I cannot control the money (e.g. held in an account I cannot control). But as long as I can tell my partner to buy goods with it, it is taxable in the US.

This is for individual income tax - rules may be different for businesses.
