You're not required to "give up sex with others" if you don't want to. Hell, many people are okay with polyamory or casual sex in general.

I was merely stating that committing sexually can in fact be a good thing, and that the parent comment cannot speak for everyone.

Many people, including, uhh, some guy I know, made a pretty penny just because their leftover $100 for buying weed off the dark market is worth so much now.
Well she was really promiscuous, I'm not shaming her but I get it certain words offend certain people so I should filter what I write.
To be fair, going 'out' for lunch (i.e., going for a sandwich) is commom and I'd say standard in the Netherlands (in some professions). Going out for dinner not at all.
It tells you which words you said it considers british and which it considered american by their red / blue colour.

It is also a binary choice. Like the hotdog/not hotdog app, you can't expect an AI to tell you much if it only has two options to chose from.
And while it dropped momentarily, it dropped to 70%-80% of the USD. In the world where most other cryptocurrencies move that much in a regular day without anyone breaking a sweat - that seems like a very good deal to me.
This, and so much this - enough to comment in support.
Another bubble that passed me by, it seems. If I were one of these paper millionaires, I'd be investing in property and precious metals—there are a few companies that accept BTC for those.
A notion in the more calmed legal discussion (as opposed to lobby talk from the freedom movements, which I usually support but feel to be very narrow-sighted at the moment w/ regard to this law - see what is now carried into the comments here) is that this effect might be mitigated by a counterweight law - or rather addendum - that mitigates overreaction by the corporations.

This is german legal culture: our law system is first, foremost and mostly codified. And regulation is used more heavily than in the US law system.

Note that the stated goal of the law is most probably the exact point: making access to effective defense of your rights possible to anyone. The reality consisted of slow law enforcement (which has to act against people who made the speech in question, often anonymous or denying having done it), inaccessible data of the other party (for civil suits) and an intransparent mechanism that did not follow the german legal system on behalf of the corporations.
I got 97% British, which is reasonable as I am British. However, I then tried a couple of time putting on an atrociously bad faux Australian nasal twang, and it still rated me 97% and 84% British - so I'm not so sure on it's accuracy... or maybe it can tell a British person putting on a rubbish foreign accent :-)
I have two accents: the "Finnish Rally Driver" (55-45) and "Monty Python" (7-93). I was ashamed of my regular Rally-Driver until Dame July Dench said "What a delightful accent, are you from Hungary?".
This is such a good description of what's happening!
Would it not be possible to just destroy some of the coins? If they were destroyed for everyone, proportionally to how much they hold, wouldn't that be in interest of everyone? Because it would make the coin itself worth more?
But there always was a very clear procedure for reporting illegal content: You visit your local police station and tell them.
I tried the lineage version: I can't even register for signal (a messaging app) with microg enabled. The only workaround is to disable microg, register signal, then enable microg.
I'm all for encouraging people to be honest with themselves, even if that honesty leads them to ugly places.

But we are talking strictly about the ability to have fulfilling monogamous relationships, not the validity of "prince Charming" narratives or purity rings.

"I don’t mean to be short, but your views demonstrate completely the bizarre myopia of the “hacker community” (for lack of a better term.)
Everyday users experience massive troubles with security issues, and incur painful losses, at the hands of criminals and black hats! I have no awareness of a major corporation “going rogue” and deliberately harming their users, ever."

English is not my first language, and I was ambiguous in what I wrote. By "Apple could go rogue", I meant that Apple could change their policies on user privacy and muck around with making money of user data. True that it is bad PR, and reversal of their current state, but what if there is a leadership change and the new ones think it is a goldmine waiting to be opened?
After all, we have seen Apple do exact things they said they wont. Big iPhones, mini ipad, give up on user privacy to the government in China...

"The incentive structure is the opposite: companies generally try to help their customers."

I think that's a bit too abstract. Companies try to help customers as long as it is in their business interest.

What do I wish would exist?
A hardware company in the class of Apple that stays with hardware, and a company like RedHat that builds mobile Linux OS with a GNU app store, where users can buy apps from the developers straight and install it themselves. That way no one is in complete control. Phones are pretty powerful these days to start using the features we have developed for laptops..
I wonder when the kidnappings will start? Pulling finger nails for wallet keys is a pretty lucrative business, if you're already in that world.
Some friends of mine in Boston used to (might still) hold regular "Monday night in" where friends would come by the house and sit on the couches and read, occasionally talking quietly.
What's this codenames variant you mention? The two player mode described in the booklet?
There's a project called Limn trying to do this. I doubt it has solved the ergonomics issue though.
The first is for system-wide apps, the second for apps that the user doesn’t share with others, the third for some parts of the OS itself. It would be insane to throw all that in one place.

Similarly, yes, getting app info involves parsing files in a known location with a known format, how could that situation be better?

I’m not sure how often people fail to put applications where they go. Especially nowadays, where most applications ship as .dmg files that open to a giant arrow telling you to drag the app to Applications, and many nag you if they’re run while not there, and App Store solves this entirely by just putting them there.
If you are going to move the prison population to vegetarian diets, you also need to account for things they may or may not be getting, such as vitamin B12 or vitamin D. It is much easier to feed a group of people a healthy, balanced diet if you use meat products or have the sense to give everyone a good-grade multi-vitamin to be sure. Unfortunately, that makes it harder in the US because of the lax laws surrounding supplements.
You can't teach new people one by one, but you can write articles and blog posts, then post them here on HN just like this guy did.

Why is that ? They both belongs to the top cloud providers today, both seems to invest highly on their R&D. I don't see anything obvious on what could happen in the future.
There's a distinction between "shitposting" (or smack/trash talk) and actual hate speech. The lines can be blurry and I think Poe's law can lead to miscommunication in both directions, e.g.

* person A might say something outlandishly racist thinking it's obvious they can't be serious

* but person B actually thinks that's something perfectly reasonably to say and agrees

* which person A in turn misunderstands to mean person B is in on the joke

* 30 minutes later person A is wearing a Klansman hood in front of a burning cross and wondering how they ended up in that situation as it dawns on them they're surrounded by actual racists

I think this is how a lot of Internet trolls felt after the US elections. Some trolls just wanted to see the world burn (so Trump is the gift that keeps on giving) but many simply didn't think Trump could win (because surely people would just go for the unlikeable but safe establishment candidate rather than the obviously outrageous joke candidate).

The problem with maintaining that distinction in the digital age however is that it's very hard to tell apart the satire from the real thing. The joke works because the audience is in on it (e.g. rape jokes work because the audience and the joke teller have a mutual understanding that rape is horrible and joking about it is inappropriate -- the inappropriateness is what makes it funny) but the Internet is not the social equivalent of two friends talking smack in a pub or a comedian talking on stage in a comedy club, it's the equivalent of random people writing on a public wall or shouting in a massive crowd of strangers.

When talking to friends there's a mutual understanding of what is or isn't appropriate. There are numerous social cues that can indicate something deadpan is still meant as a joke. Even an actual misunderstanding may still come around as a funny story.

In a comedy club the environment sets the expectation. If the guy on stage calls to arms and rallies the crowd to overthrow the government the context makes it clear this isn't a serious attempt at rebellion but more likely a build up to some kind of punchline.

But on the Internet all that context is lost. Even a conversation between friends can still likely viewed by thousands or millions of other people, so the words stand on their own.

It's obviously still important to have these private exchanges but it's also obviously not appropriate to have them in public spaces where every passer-by might become a participant.
This is actually amazing. I always thought that this "seeing in systems" was also the cause of the lack of empathy that traditionally has been attributed to engineers (being this an unfair stereotype or not).

There are several computational paradigms that we attribute to minds (and people) that more often than not backfire, finite state machines being the most obvious one. Sometimes it works, and we discover a great mental model to live by. Sometimes it goes really wrong and it all goes the modernist way (Mies van der Rohe and co).

This leads to another nasty effect: being incapable to commiserate with the people around us. If the mind is a deterministic black box and I'm not an alcoholic because I refrain myself from drinking, how come there are alcoholics. The answer must be: they do not try hard enough. Same with poor people, obese people. If things have not happened to me, the fact that happen to other people must mean that they've brought it upon themselves.
Just an idea: I wish there was an official wiki in the lines of Arch Wiki that shows how to do things with Rust with lots and lots of examples.

True there is the Rust Programming Language v2 book and several other learning resources online, but they all carry redundant information and pass it on the user to discover what they want to learn. A legendary wiki which acts like a cookbook of all things Rust could be awesome and anyone can pick what they want to learn about and go at it.

I would happily contribute and do it, but I'm just starting to learn Rust. Perhaps it is easier for other experienced Rustaceans to do it right.
Lived my whole life in the States, classified as 84% British. Maybe some aspects of the Israeli undertones from my family, but more likely just a bad model.
I still haven't found a way to buy crypto, and at this point am unlikely to ever do so. I suspect the money is in the hands of people that were already lucky somewhere in the first world and fairly rich before starting out.

As the article says, someone apparently 'invested' the meager sum of $400000 and is now super rich.

But people can only stay this rich as long as none of the initial investors (e.g. the ones with a disproportional amounts of tokens) hold their stuff.

It still feels like a multilevel marketing scheme to me. It'll only stay great as long as people keep buying more and for higher prices.
This is for prosecution. The removal of such speech is a civil suit. Facebook/Twitter might have taken a post more serious when the police came and asked questions, but then, they might not. And prosecution might not what a victim was after, as this involved being part of a legal case where your stance is weaker than that of the claimed perpetrator (as it is a penal case then).
Is there an online reading club for tech articles and books?
I saw the post of the Apple security PDF. By the time I saw it there were already over 100 comments. I am sure some people had time to read it in detail before commenting, but I am also sure that many (like me) did not.

For more detailed papers like that I wondered if there was an online community which works like a book club. For example the link to the PDF would be posted. Then a period of 1 week would be left for people to read in detail. Then a discussion would start. I think this would add lots of value, as the discussion would be more in depth. The same principle could apply to CS papers, tech books, etc.

If this doesn’t exist I guess I could build it.

Here in Idaho at least, a lot & yes. No scary militia type stuff, just folks getting together and sharing knowledge. Still a lot of wild wide open spaces in this country. If you're into winter sports come visit McCall, beautiful mountain lake town, excellent restaurants, and always fresh powder to shred on Brundage Mtn. Just as great to visit in the Summer, way more crowded but it's a good size lake, plenty of room for everybody
One of clippy's authors and maintainers here (though I didn't choose the name); why would you name such a program "lint"?

For me clippy evokes the image of a well-meaning, if at times clumsy helper that tries to nudge you in the right direction. I find that very fitting for a tool that...well...tries to nudge you in the right direction of writing good, fast, idiomatic code.
It's amazing how people pretend to genuinely believe cryptocoins would change the world, but immediately describe so proudly their lavish lifestyle to prove their point. What exactly did they change? Attract and take advantage of the world greed doesn't look new to me...
> Note that the stated goal of the law is most probably the exact point: making access to effective defense of your rights possible to anyone.

Which is completely and utterly fails at in the obvious way, in that your right to free speech is limited by a strong incentive for corporations to silence you if in doubt?

> The reality consisted of slow law enforcement (which has to act against people who made the speech in question, often anonymous or denying having done it)

And the solution to insufficient law enforcement is to have some private corporation do the job instead? I don't think that many people disagree that there was a problem, but the solution is terrible and creates lots of problems itself.
Why? Asking as a non-native English speaker, please excuse me if it's obvious. Is "retarded" somehow worse than "fucked up" or simply "shit", which seem to be accepted in casual conversations around here?
GP was talking about the old, established laws, which were enough to sanction the worst cases of hate speech and which were surprisingly safe from overreach and unintended consequences. Those old ones would rather leave a case unforced than throw out the baby with the bathwater.

What you seem to be taking about is the new one, which breaks many things in the hopeless attempt to maximise enforcement of the original laws. This is a recurring theme in lawmaking: everything has a certain maximum level of reasonable enforceability, and when laws are written to increase enforcement beyond that limit they universally turn out bad.
An M5-Brane Model
True. Societies may, however, be hesitant to follow our footsteps towards atomization and low birthrate.
This might be because we all are relatives, there was a creature which first had something like an eye, then an eye, and it's our common ancestor, so perception of the relative species is to some extent common.

Or may be that's because there is a universal concept of beauty, as Feinman was guessing, but I doubt it.
People have done it.

The self-contained application bundles idea that you espouse can be found as Daniel J. Bernstein's "slashpackage" mechanism, from the turn of the century. It gives side-by-side installation of multiple versions of packages and simple packaged files installation, upgrade, and removal procedures.

The ability for users to isolate their own applications from one another is one of the concepts (removing the superuser) that underpins GNU Hurd, where one can sandbox one's own programs using translators and servers that substitute for the root ones.

And that never went anywhere, because Facebook disobeyed even court orders. They never replied to judges. They never took down posts a court had ordered them to.

The NetzDG is bad law, and will probably be repealed before the Constitution Court rules it unconstitutional.

But it was a reaction to social networks disobeying the law. An overreaction, yes, but a reaction.

I wish it were more commonly known in libertarian and net freedom circles that the pendulum swings both ways. After excesses in one direction it will swing far into the other direction.

Maybe keep that in mind when pursuing extreme goals at any cost, instead of find8ng a middle way that works for everyone.

I think the NetzDG is crap and won‘t stay for long. But I also think that Facebook and Twitter deserve all this pain.
People also have been rejecting that since time immemorial, so the strength of your argument just barely suffices to eat itself.
I wouldn't be so sure lower level code necessarily has more vulnerabilities. It's certainly easier to find the vulnerabilities because the attack vectors are well-known.

Software written in higher level languages is often less widely deployed, so less people are trying to find vulnerabilities. All the complexity adds up, and can result in new vulnerabilities that wouldn't have been there if the code was written in a simpler language.
Apparently not, hence the data reported in the article.
For those of you who read German the following article sheds a revealing perspective on the effects of these new laws:

https://motherboard.vice.com/de/article/kznxz3/vom-netzdg-zu...

The leading paragraph claims that "Trolls and right-wing activists conspire through pr0gramm, Discord and Twitter to 'turn the law against hate speech' into its opposite: a tool to denounce left-wingers, women and migrants."

In other words, the opposite of "hate speech" is "left-wingers, women and migrants" according to the writer of this article. This shows the incredible myopia of these activists who have been warned time and again that those same censorship laws they were pressing for and sponsoring could and would be turned around to target their own political platforms. Unfortunately they did not listen, often because they blocked or banned those who spoke out against censorship as racists, xenophobes and more.

You write about God not making mistakes... but also of repudiating ”Judeo-Christian“ doctrine... which is it?
The point is that many do, and as such this is inherently part of the "cultural quirk" you mentioned. And this is not even mentioning that important development continues after 18.
I hope the Massachusetts based AG who prosecuted him rots in hell.
I'm also an American and get consistently 80-90% British. It seems to think I pronounce "Bob" in an especially British way. I pronounce it in a way that sounds like "Bahb" to me, same sound as in not and cot (I don't have the cot-caught merger). I believe it's the vowel <ä> in IPA that I use. To my ears that's not the way most UK speakers would pronounce it, which I think is more <ɔ> or <ɒ> for all of Bob/not/cot.
I also do this. I make use of Capsicum/seccomp-bpf and jail/chroot to a ro mountpoint, use SSP, ASLR where possible, ... But I still use C as my primary programming language. I've also written code in golang professionally for a year or two.

It's quite common in the embedded space to use C or C++. It's easy to run everything as root and skip fundamental bound checking, so those languages get a bad rep in that space. Totally understandable. But it is possible to engineer solutions that are a lot safer too. It's just a question of priorities. Companies not prioritizing writing safe code or not working on having a safe architectural design will not bother with Rust or other memory safe languages. There's little to no market incentive in most areas. Sad but true.
Which continent?
Heh, so does yours. I can say this without even knowing what language you use to write your software, much less looking at it... All software has bugs, and most of those are security vulnerabilities waiting to happen.

And you think American capitalism provides "gratification" in being a corporate drone in middle management ticking checkboxes for your next paycheck? I'd gain much more happiness in seeing equality of all people around me, knowing my hard work benefits all, than feeding dividend-sucking corporate greed.
That's the massive understanding I see when people who don't live in Germany complain about German censorship of speech:

It's not about feelings.

It's about shaping other people's opinions.

If someone says "jack9 is a kiddy fiddler" the damage is not that it might make jack9 upset, the damage is that others might think it's true and take actions that harm him.

If someone says "kill the kikes" the damage is not that Jewish people might be upset, the damage is that others might agree and commit violence against Jewish people.

It doesn't even have to be a convincing argument, it just has to give other people the impression their hatred is socially acceptable and their violence has public support.

Hate speech is like broken windows: the more a certain hateful sentiment is tolerated in society, the more socially acceptable that sentiment becomes, the more likely it becomes someone will act on it and that society will tolerate those actions too.

Hitler's rise to power was not a coup d'etat. Hitler didn't overthrow the government by killing generals and politicians and installing himself as leader. Hitler rose to power by manipulating people's sentiments with language. He created scapegoats and convinced people it's okay to channel their hate and frustration towards those scapegoats. When the Nazis first called for people to be killed or that their neighbors were inferior, few thought they meant it, but saying it over and over normalised the idea. They dehumanised their victims and their future enemies.

A lot of that rhetoric is normal in many places today and Trump's campaign wasn't even a special example. The rhetoric after 9/11 made Germans feel icky because it was so familiar but even then it wasn't new. Americans worry about racism and sexism, Germans worry about xenophobia -- hatred of the foreign, the different, the "other".
