I do not see how those two quotes imply a particular opinion of how the enlightenment happened - as far as I can tell, they merely say that the enlightenment (however it occurred) has benefitted a lot of people, yet some of beneficiaries can't stop complaining about it.

As for the hostile mistranslators, if they cannot find the presumed dangerous subtext within the work, they should honestly recognize that they cannot find it (which would not prevent them from stating their concerns, just as Aaronson stated his pessimism), rather than pretend that it is there. Ultimately, doing the latter merely reflects badly on both their critical analysis skills, and, to a degree, their ethics.
I don’t think knowledge of particular gun types is relevant to my argument- I am saying that the side effects of banning a particular gun are smaller and far less profound than making the operators of internet platforms responsible for the speech of all users on their platform.

I agree with you that speech is more important! That’s why I am saying the side effects, the splash damage if you will, in limiting platforms where ordinary people can spread information because they might be used for sex trafficking, is not remotely comparable to banning a model of gun because it might be used to shoot a lot of people quickly.

The intended effects and effectiveness of the efforts aside, I think the potential for unintended side effects in FOSTA is of a completely different magnitude and nature.

Show HN: Peaceterms – Chat to people you disagree with
Hi all, I'd like to get some feedback on my side project - https://www.peaceterms.com

It's a way to chat with people you disagree with in order to (hopefully) learn to understand them better. It's based on the idea of the talking stick - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_stick. You can add any opinion you like, and take it in turns to express your point of view.

If it works/gets any traction, in the future I'd like to add a way to share links so people you know can chat directly with you.

All feedback and advice is gratefully received. It's built with Elixir/Phoenix. Many thanks for your time!

In more sane high income countries, New Zealand, parts of Australia, the UK, et. al, prostitution is legal and regulated. If sex workers get into trouble, there are places and people they can go to get help. It at least attempts to be a legitimate industry.

In America, we have parts of Nevada and that's it. Filming a sex act and paying for it is legal (if you do your due diligence and make sure you have all the right paperwork, a good lawyer, and for good measure you should probably only film in California and Florida -- it's why there are so few industries who can afford the lawyers to do porn, but that's another issue entirely...)

The right way to deal with sex trafficking is to make it legal for people to do what they want with sex/their bodies, create as safe a sex-work industry as you can, and make it more difficult for illegitimate people in the sex industry to work.

This just takes me back to the Child Safety Protection Act of 1994. Over a decade later we're fighting the same bullshit.
My son just had his birthday, we took him there and gave him a $20 (we got him a few other things, but we wanted to teach him about money) and let him choose how to spend it.

You could do that online, but when you get to run around the store looking at the toys, it's clearly more fun for him.

There are a few bespoke toy stores around me, but Toys R Us is his favorite.

>worsened conditions

Worsened conditions is quite vague, I went down the line that it covered the attitudes of customers, not necessarily translated it mean physical (or extreme verbal) abuse. The likelihood of customers that [would] make derogatory comments post encounter goes up. Not necessarily the % or ratio but the actual number. For example: pre legalization a prostitute saw 10 clients a day, 10%, one, of them would say "that wasn't worth it" to the prostitute after services were rendered. Post legalization that prostitute might have 30 clients a day, 10%, three, say exhibit the same behavior. While the ratio is the same the hard number of negative feedback is 3 times greater. And psychologically negative feedback has much more weight that positive feedback which can weigh on an person's self-confidence and feeling of self-worth.

This matter being itself a cliche in these circles. Rationalist forums are full of denouncing uncharitable critics who intentionally misunderstand what is obviously innocuous and infallible if you would just understand (presumably by god-given charity). I think this knee-jerk reaction is itself irrational.

In the above review for example the reviewer builds a straw-man that the critics are anti-science. Calling out religious features of arguments bordering on scientism (it does even have a church!) is not denouncing scientific method.
I don't think he said anonymous banking should't be available at all - he explicitly said it was useful. But he also said it should be restricted for similar reasons the other things in his list should be restricted, because significant harm can be done to the public/society with it in the hands of some people. Money laundering is one example that comes to mind. If you're a proponent of Crypto currencies you've probably heard similar statements before - this criticism isn't new.

OK, this actually makes me a little bit amazed at Clinton's hubris. Her campaign was so confident of victory it stopped buying prime advertising space on Youtube and Politico, among other sites. This immediately freed it up for the Trump campaign to buy and use in the last two weeks prior to the election.

Haven't read her post election book but I assume it neglects to mention this own goal.
Because regardless how some of us might dislike C and its security related issues, the truth is that no one is ever going to rewrite UNIX systems in other language, nor the embedded systems where even C++ has issues gaining market share.

So if one finally manages to get a safer C variant that finally wins the hearts of UNIX kernels and embedded devs, it is a win for all, even those that don't care about C on their daily work.

Until it happens, that lower layer all IoT devices and cloud machines will be kept in C, and not all of them will be getting security updates.

The comparison ignores the blistering daily poverty of a medieval peasant. This is not merely a lack of technology - that would be a historical argument.

But even basic amenities that could be easily built in this time period were difficult to come by. Entire villages might have to share a few pieces of furniture, like a stool.

These people may have had a lot of "time off", but they spent it in horrible poverty, many months of the year near starvation, even within the context of what was available to them in their own time.

I would hazard to say that many modern office workers rarely actually accomplish 40 hours of productive work in a given week. They may be physically present, but how often are they chatting, goofing off, or standing around waiting for an interaction. Modern business is built upon availability, not necessarily toil.
Dice.com Is Hiring a Remote Data Scientist (must Be in US)
I respectfully disagree. I think the only thing going for toy stores is last-minute shoppers. Sure if you get a toy in a kids hands, they're going to want it. Which is exactly why I don't want to go to toy stores with my kids. I can find new toys online that my kids like instead of being forced to purchase whatever mass consumer toy is in my face when I walk into toyRus because they are getting a bigger kickback on it.
If the car is at fault here, then Uber should bare the full consequences.

At the same time though, the person with the bike had no reflective markings, wasn’t blind or anything, and was crossing the road without any respect for the incoming traffic at an unmarked spot. They didn’t even flinch when the car was about to hit them. The guy in the car looked away for like 5 seconds. He clearly wasn’t absent-minded. If the visibility wasn’t that bad, any suspicious activity on the left would have grabbed his attention.

Besides Hal Draper, what authors would you recommend to further explore this thought? I’m educated as a programmer and only beginning to deliberately explore ideas outside of science and engineering.

I would encourage you to reflect hard on this.

Personally, I would worry that you're finding it difficult to give your CEO/co-founder credit. I don't know you, so it is not for me to judge the reasons - but I think you should try and understand why you find it hard, and if that is a problem with you, a problem with the CEO or something else.
Well in the case of this particular bill, at least some of the advocates for sex workers had some sense and spoke loudly and clearly about the bad consequences of this law.

Fire the CEO if you can. It seems like this CEO is one of the "who you know" ones.

When you do hire talented engineers they won't want a leader who exists out of nepotism, it has the potential to rot the whole company from the head(seen it more than once).
That is mostly right, but I was responding to someone who said that positive gross margins for the vehicle were only planned for the distant future. Their financial statement for last quarter implied that the 3 would have positive gross margins in late 2018.

Their cash position decreased by about 162 million last quarter and they have ~3.3 billion on hand at the end of Q4. There are a lot of risks still out there due to the production bottlenecks that currently exist (and maybe more on the horizon with S and X), but the cashflow situation isn't as horrible as some want to believe.
"Powered by Huawei" -- ironic, isn't it?
If I'm billing hourly and I'm billing an 8 hour day, I'm including a 30 minute lunch, regardless of rate. Anything longer than that is off the clock. If I'm billing 4 hours, then sure, no lunch. This is only true if I have a single client project on the go; if I'm billing piecemeal through the day (which I never want to do) then yes I'm eating on my own time.

I get being hesitant to bill for certain kinds of troubleshooting, but I think it comes down a lot to what the scope of the project is. If I'm on something that is multiple weeks of work, and I'm dealing with a problem that I would be encountering and would be expected to solve if I were working full-time, then it's billable.
BTW, how does Google fare on these counts? I am sure they have as much data, or perhaps more, on all of us.

I guess it's speed concerns? Maybe they have a custom ASIC they use to pipe and adjust images from the camera, achieving optimal contrast?

Average productivity in the economy is just ratio of hours worked to GDP. It doesn’t mean that all, or even most of the workers work harder or smarter. In countries like Germany, the high productivity industries pull the rest of the economy behind them. The German janitor is not likely to be any more productive that janitor in poorer countries, his wage is just higher than there, because the economy provides better job market, and so the companies must pay higher wages to find employees.

In countries like Greece or Poland, average worker does much more hours in a year, but it’s not because he is working less smart. It’s just the high productivity industries are simply not there, so he must work harder to earn the same money.
If so they're wrong, but that doesn't change the fact that as users of Youtube, we have an absolute right to exercise our actual First Amendment rights of free speech and assembly, by complaining about Youtube's unsatisfactory service and moving to other platforms. The fact that Youtube has a legal right to do what they're doing is completely beside the point.
> daily poverty of a medieval peasant

And death was omnipresent. Most of your kids would die in young age, folks around you were killed by random infections or flu regularly, and there was not much to look forward to in life.
It's not true. It's tough to find a job that doesn't offer 2 weeks and most white collar jobs offer 3 weeks (15 days). That doesn't include the typical 13 stat holidays.

I have a job in the US that offers 25 paid days of vacation, plus the standard 13.
>And working your field doesn't provide for your life?

Under communism, all surplus (or even the full total) is appropriated by the state. So working more and harder nets no extra benefit on the peasant. The incentive then is to exert as little effort as you can. NPR's Planet Money had a really good podcast on this recently [1]

I speculated that feudal peasant may have been subject to the same kinds of incentives as everything they produced belonged to the local Lord.

>because if he produced more food he'd be able to keep more of it

Under certain communist regimes (Soviet Union and Mao's China), that wasn't necessarily true. The state appropriated everything.

Thanks. I'd add a 5th group—trust & verification. Maybe that could be considered an extension of #2, but the ability to know (and trust) the integrity of the software your're running on your hardware has become the most important aspect of open-source software for me as a user.

Now, as a vendor, I want my users to have the same piece of mind. Both of my projects are predicated on privacy, so there's a solid business case in each case.
…in 2004, that was first reported in 2010.
One thing that's always suspicious about those "peasants had more time off" claims is that they imply medieval peasants had a bright line between work and recreation in a way that's just not true. Talking about the day with your family while you spin wool or sharpen a sickle is... work? play? all of the above?

For all that we have issues with a culture where people check work emails at home and are otherwise on-call, we've moved remarkably far from a culture where work was truly pervasive, where it formed the backdrop of everything else.

All of which is to say that both the quality, as you point out, and the purity of our recreation have improved quite a lot. Counting up a nebulous "time off" value seems to seriously misunderstand the changes in how we live.

>This correlation isn't all that direct in my experience.

What do you mean? That's certainly the case for hourly jobs where more hours equals more money.
There are two relevant concepts here, and it's not surprising people get them a little confused. One is the natural right of free expression, the other is the First Amendment. The latter is a law meant to protect the former against a particularly powerful organization, the US Government. It wasn't even originally part of the constitution because founders thought free expression was an inalienable right retained by the people, so explicitly guaranteeing it was redundant. So, I think it's a forgivable offense when someone complains that their "First Amendment" rights are being violated when their free expression rights are being violated by a particularly powerful organization that's not the US government.
I believe 'the boot' is a British term for the trunk of an automobile, which I think fits the bill here :)
Sounds like the stereotypical clueless academic ego quite honestly. Asked for a response in writing? Using online equity calculators 5 months post facto? What planet are you living on? Maybe you are undercompensated and deserve more but the way you’re approaching this shows you are definitely not 2:1 CEO material. Reality check time.
> What has been created by this half century of massive corporate propaganda is what's called "anti-politics". So that anything that goes wrong, you blame the government. Well okay, there's plenty to blame the government about, but the government is the one institution that people can change... the one institution that you can affect without institutional change. That's exactly why all the anger and fear has been directed at the government. The government has a defect - it's potentially democratic. Corporations have no defect - they're pure tyrannies. So therefore you want to keep corporations invisible, and focus all anger on the government. So if you don't like something, you know, your wages are going down, you blame the government. Not blame the guys in the Fortune 500, because you don't read the Fortune 500. You just read what they tell you in the newspapers... so you don't read about the dazzling profits and the stupendous dizz, and the wages going down and so on, all you know is that the bad government is doing something, so let's get mad at the government.

Nothing but scraps of stories handed down and embellished over the millennia. We have no objective measures at all.
The "Russiagate narriative" is a distraction from the reality that the DNC leadership rigged the 2016 primary in favor of Chelsea Clinton's mother, and also from the very real possibility that the emails were leaked from the inside. Russiaphobia also helps in numerous ways the foriegn policy that Chelsea Clinton's mother campaigned on, which may very well have led the US into a war with Russia. Hillary wanted to put a no-fly zone over Russia's sole operational naval base in Tarus, Syria. Can you imagine how the US military would respond of the Russians tried to do the same? Deliberate conflict in the region was her plan ever since she, by her own admission, proudly destabilized the Lybian regime so that weapons could be pumped through it into Syria. "Russiagate" helps her and those who would have profited from this scheme.
Book on Vala language
Right — I actually missed the "has VC funding" part in the original question.

I don't think most VCs would feel great about one founder going behind their backs to get an absolute majority of equity after the funding is already executed. Since the OP is effectively looking to demote his co-founder from the CEO position, he should make sure the VC partner and company board understand what's going on if he takes any action.
I feel this thread is also an argument for never doing an exact 50/50 split.

I don't know about that specific model of Volvo, but the emergency brake works up to much higher speeds in other cars/brands - it's just that above 50km/h it's not guaranteed to slow down to zero or prevent impact, just reduce the speed. I suspect that system was disabled as it would interfere with whatever driving tech tech have though.
