Freedom of speech is a much larger broader concept than the First Amendment.

Consider for a second if some political position was banned by all privately owned mediums in the US. Say for example it was reported on the violence is Bangladesh. Every internet provider would stop transferring data if it detected any mention of it, every server hosting data in any format would immediately remove any mention of it, Microsoft, Google, and Apple pushed updates to their OS's that would terminate what you were doing if they detected it.

Would freedom of speech (not the First Amendment) have been attacked in such a far-fetched scenario? Yes, despite it only being private companies doing things they have the right to do. As such, we can conclude that in such a scenario, freedom of speech includes requiring private entities to support a message they wish to not support. Now, would that not also apply in a less far-fetched scenario? I see no reason it would not.

My first endeavor with asyncio felt worse than a beating with a wet rubber hose.

> Take for example a pedestrian and a car turning right arrive at an intersection. The pedestrian has a walk signal and the car wants to make a right on red. Both those actions are triggered by the same condition, no cross traffic. In a naive simulation they'd hit each other. In the real world they see each other and one yields to the other in a manner that depends on the situation

To be clear, the pedestrian has the right of way in this situation, the car should always yield.

In practice, cars often don’t respect it (happens to me daily). Sometimes because the driver is just rude or ignorant, which is a much harder problem to solve, but often because they simply didn’t see the pedestrian because the driver is looking left while they turn right. Ironically, they’re doing this for their own safety as a driver, because they don’t want to get hit from the left side.

Not to mention, don't comment too much, nor go off the norm to foster discussion at all.
So here's the problem: doing so can decimate a local industry, which is fine until the subsidies stop or, now having eliminated the competition, the exporters jack up the price or otherwise hold the importer hostage in some way.

Australian dairy exporters have been suffering from this because a traditional export market (SE Asia) has been flooded with cheap (subsidized) dairy products from the EU (particularly Italy IIRC). This typically gets labelled "dumping".

Now market forces (and since subsidies are in play it's not really market forces) will otherwise kill the local industry. When those producers are gone and a change of government ends the dumping those producers don't magically reappear. It takes time.

This sort of thing is why so often self-sufficiency and key industries are touted as being in the national interest.

Moderation != censorship. When facebook can send you to jail for your speech, then we can talk about censorship. I don't want to live in a world where I can't ban bad actors from my own servers (thus violating my freedom of speech).
I probably should have added a `/s` somewhere in my post; my internal sense of "this doesn't sound right" is coming from a desire to enforce a distinction between "cloud", "API" and "serverless".

To my mind, serverless is exclusively limited to FaaS or similar means of deploying code without visibility of the underlying server it runs on. S3 isn't about code deployment, it's a third-party API that stores data. EC2, docker et. al. at least have instances of servers you see, even if you automate away the management portion- that makes them cloudy, but not serverless.

Maybe my understanding of serverless is completely at odds with what the industry is, and if so I have learned something new and am chuffed.
While it’s well within Facebook’s rights to censor content that appears on their platform, it’s also within OP’s rights to call out their attempts to whitewash and sanitize their little part of the Internet.

It seems HN readership likes to stand up and defend these companies when they get rid of stuff we don’t like, like Nazis and Alex Jones rants. But if we woke up tomorrow and FB or YouTube started deleting content about progressive causes, we’d lose our minds and start sharpening the pitchforks. The double standard is evident. Either these guys should have editorial control of what they publish or not.

Mercantilism as a zero sum game where you export more than you import and then you get rich reasonable first theory if you start to think trade from the scratch, but it's wrong.

It was already debunked by Adam Smith in "The Wealth of Nations" 1776. Then came Ricard's comparative advantage (1817), the emergence of Classical Theory Of International Trade, then New Trade theory then New New trade theory.

Every area of politics that touches issues like medicine, chemistry, genetics, climate science, macro economics, trade economics, urban economics, etc. is always facing arguments that were outdated hundreds or thousands of years ago.

> I'd rather enable users to moderate their own content by giving them better tools to do so.

I hear where you're coming from, but I subscribe to a small amount of subreddits, and moderate one - and I am absolutely not willing to clean up after every troll, shill and bot that posts to all of them.

As a specific example, I moderate a local meetup subreddit. We have fairly specific rules about what is and isn't allowed, and our subreddit is better for it - because people aren't allowed to just link to random events in the city, we require that they be events that they are actively interested in attending. (The rationale is twofold - one, people won't just spam links to their events, and two, attendees will find at least one person they can connect to instead of attending alone, which can be somewhat daunting.)

If we, as moderators didn't do this, we'd have to rely on every user to "clean up" our subreddit for us. Those that didn't care to would find our subreddit useless, since it would be filled with links to garbage Facebook events, meetup.com sales pitches, and ads for competing subreddits and apps. Those that did, well, they'd have to do the work that we do.

Why should we ask that of people? It's like opening up a dance club, but telling everyone that it's BYOB, and BYOmusic, and BYOchair if you get tired, and also you gotta bring a broom if you want the dance floor to not be full of garbage. At that point, what's our value-add?

It's the case on that forum and the off-topic discussions (religion & politics) are accesible only to accounts older than 1 year, so it helps to limit shitposting in those discussions. Accountability for your opinions in that case just mean getting mocked by other people (I said free speech, not nice speech).

Also, HN has a completely different userbase than most websites. The biggest complaint about Android in the early days was "it has UI/UX for engineers" (that I personally loved). 99% of people aren't looking for a website experience like HN. Most people WANT some sort of slight flashiness and style. Also, most people don't use noscript. It's a valid tool to use, even if it is abused by some. We still run tests to make sure our total delivered payload is small and monitor accessibility stuff. Just because some sites are built like a dumpster fire using modern frameworks doesn't mean all modern frameworks are bad.

There is a huge difference between "you have completely abused javascript and now I get a blank white page with JS off" and "you've used JS to make interacting with your page much nicer"

Lithium, cobalt and Metal hydride are messy and Lithium, since it is so cheap, it is not recycled for reuse.

Red is such an alarming color. Im an automotive mechanic, and this reminds me of a shop I once worked in. We were performing a transmission flush and a tank inside the machine ruptured, causing a huge mess. We dragged it out to the back of the shop near the dumpsters as it was just taking up space until a tech could service it.

The next day we arrived at work to find 6 police officers and a rescue dog team marching around our shop floor looking for a reported murder victim. We sadly gestured to our BG-5 fluid exchanger.
Serverless is not just for APIs. I use it to respond to really spiky events - file puts, queue processing, etc. that really doesn’t have to be real time but you don’t want it to have high latency.

Sure, the standards change over time. You would likely be shunned 200 years ago if you said whites and blacks had equal intellect. You would likely be shunned today if you said the opposite. Society generally moves in the right direction. "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."

I was simply pointing out that this phenomena is not new or limited to the internet. It is inherently human. It also is neither completely negative or positive. It just is.
I wonder if they record traffic casualties, not just fatalities. Those cost $$$ too.
I heard a claim in a podcast the other day that I'm not able to put my hands on (it may have been EconTalk or Vox's Weeds) where someone claimed that trade is generally so beneficial to the recipient that even if your partner puts tariffs on your goods that retaliation is just shooting yourself in the foot purely for appearances.
I wish I could provide a link or more details but there does seem to be an economic case for non-retaliation.
There's one other thing that very few people learn or intuitively understand: there's an enormous amount of light and visuals that we process due to our peripheral vision. While we may think the scene is 3:2 that we frame with a camera, in reality our brain captures 120-180 degrees of information outside the 3:2 frame which adjusts our perception of what would be in a photo vs. what would actually end up in a photo.

Same goes with the light: if you want to know how the camera sees the scene, squint -- it would compensate for extra peripheral light.

I read an article in National Geographic like ten years or so ago that brought up this very idea. IIRC its title was "drying of the west" but I can't find it online right now.
An interesting way to work around this would be to have the ability to scale with mixed instance types.

For example, your base application runs with t2.micro. As soon as traffic starts going up, you launch additional medium/large instances. The load balancer would have to understand this also, and do weighted routing (ideally based on app server loads) so the first micro instance doesn't handle the same volume of traffic as the rest.

I've never seen a setup like this before, and frankly, part of me wonders whether the savings would be worth the effort of building it in the first place (vs just running with medium instances, or just scaling to dozens of micros to handle the load, or just using serverless).

This isn't a "trade war." It's a national security negotiation. But you know? I think maybe trade wars are "easy to win," as Trump said.
It's IE-only unfortunately. Importing I typically just copy and paste by hand instead of using the importer. The importer doesn't work that well in my opinion unless it's mostly plain text. With all the new front-end stuff and ads, it's gotten especially bad on some sites.

You've got it backwards.

"time" is the unit of punishment, as it's more equal than wealth.

We agree that both a rich and poor person should serve the same time in prison for the same crime

Therefore, for a fine, both a rich and a poor person should pay the same fine relative to their earnings per unit of time. i.e., if the fine is $100 for someone making $15,000/year, it should be $100,000 for someone making $15,000,000/year
I think I see what you did there, but I don't think it's an apt comparison. Watching people compete has been done for as long as civilization has been around, and there is something not only interesting but inspiring watching certain people that are the best at what they do compete against others.

It doesn't develop anything positive but instead indulges the wrong aspects of people. Letting kids, who soak up everything, watch this daily is extremely poisonous and develops the wrong values.

For public schools the average out of state tuition is about $10k.
