Two different people will determine events differently based on their inherent biases. They can quite literally view the exact same event in real time and draw opposite conclusions from it. It is the human bias. It is why humans make lousy scientific instruments if your study depends on observation and why we come up with statistically reliable coding schemes in order to try and offset those biases. Even philosophy plays a role here. I don't see it improving. All we can do is press forwards, shine as much sunlight as possible everywhere, and take nothing for granted.

Yes, propaganda works, of course it works. The antidote for it is not to allow one small group to control all media. Oops, in the US it is too late. Maybe Trump is right then? A very unpopular opinion these days...

Also, I don't understand why sudddenly Neo-Nazis are such a big issue? The US has had some fringe Nazi type sympathizers for decades and there has been astonishingly little harm caused by their ideas being out there, even when the Internet is included.

US gun shows always had tables with Nazi memorabilia, but those guys were just basement-dwelling weirdos/odd history buffs with poor social skills, not actual neo-Nazis. Then there were the few Skinhead types selling books and trying to get people to attend meetings and pretty much everyone gave them a wide berth (and let's be honest, 95% of those guys were probably undercover agents or informants). I don't perceive there is any huge upswing in 88ers in the US. What I do see, however, is a big upswing in violent leftists who are clearly being funded by some deep pockets with orders to raise hell. Maybe we should focus our attention on that?

I've always been fascinated with what books are banned in the USA. Librarians always say they stand up for free speech, but they mean Mark Twain, not Paladin Press. So there is a huge double-standard there. And yes, there are books that are effectively banned in the USA, quite a lot of them, in fact.
Use a flow to replicate your onedrive in Azure Files, then mount it to your Linux box: https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/galleries/public/templates/... AND https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage...
This seems like the equivalent of user-agent sniffing. So even though the problem is a feature (xattrs), they will try to detect whether or not the filesystem is ext4 and stop syncing otherwise? Is that correct?

So, if other programs follow suit, will we start seeing options to lie about the filesystem type?
Could you clarify? Unless the systems you are using require POSIX compatibility, why limit yourself? I would agree that using a proper programming language for anything more than fairly basic scripts would be a better option, but I don't necessarily see the harm.
> Maintaining IaaS services costs much less when taking personnel expenses

In my experience the cost savings are because people assume that AWS means "I dont need Ops (any more)" and have developers with zero ops/sysadmin experience running their production environments.
Step 2: use the 20% developer manpower required to support filesystems used by 2% of the userbase to instead better support the other 98%.
Organizations already have such an admin, and workers can sync whilst they're at work. Not very difficult to set up, and saves tons of costs (although a NAS is a small initial investment to make it doesn't require much maintenance).

Individuals don't, but most individuals have no clue about the repercussions of hosting their plaintext data on Dropbox in the USA. Its a ticking timebomb.
HN feels psychic sometimes!... this paper happens to tie together a lot of the foundations I was lacking (out of ignorance) that I need for a personal research project. So happy to have found it :)
Does this mean that the networks are creating derivative works of the content they licensed, and then airing that?
Especially if they are cutting out opening titles.

Overlays and EAS have usually been acceptable, and composing the end titles with something else is a longstanding practice, but it doesn't actually modify the content directly.

What country do you live in? Was it possibly one liberated or defended by the US during the second World War?

Do you realize that a lot of Americans are trying to put things right? Do you realize why Trump got elected and what that represents in terms of reform of bad policy? Do you also realize that many of us would like to cease US imperialism and that such a change is not the same thing as US isolationism (as is the typical accusation from US warmongering MSM)?

Out of curiosity, what happens if you office subscription ends? Obviously you won't be able to sync but does onedrive have some sort of grace period to let you download your stuff and at what point would it go and completely delete your data?

There are many possibilities, as it is not a pre-packaged solution.

For example, if you have Synology or QNAP, there are packages to sync with cloud providers, like Backblaze B2, Amazon S3, Azure Cloud Storage, etc. So if one of your syncthing sync instances (which you can make with few clicks) is such a device, with few more clicks you can choose your cloud platform and backup to that.

Or you can be using something entirely different. That's the beauty, you can use whatever fits your needs and budget, you don't have to fit yourself to limitations of one or two pre-packaged solutions. You can do something entirely different, e.g. if someone from your family also has some NAS, you can backup to each others devices and not rely on third parties at all. The possibilities are limitless.

> The whole notion of treating bicycles as vehicular traffic was wayward and has been debunked. It's really obvious that bicycles are not cars, you can tell just by looking at them.

The same as with Idaho stop, it does not matter. Looking at something that approaches the intersection, do I have to think what that is? What if it is a bicycle with electric assist? Moped? Scooter? Is it electric? Is it with ICE? Something in between the moped and the bike? Where do I draw the line? That is way more thinking than just following the rules of all-way stop/or main road/yield.

> There are differing levels of enforcement in different places, but I've made thousands, possibly tens of thousands of infractions on my bike in 35 years of commuting, sometimes right in front of the police, and I've never had a ticket. Is a rule really a rule if it isn't enforced?

Rules are there for your benefit, not police's.

> Drivers have to obey the rules of the road. Cyclists only have to obey the law of the jungle.

Disclaimer: I don't have emperical evidence for anything I'm about to say.

I think that someone isn't hateful because they're an inherently hateful person. People are a product of their environment. If they only communicate with hateful people, it shapes their worldview.

Everyone has flaws, but somehow hateful speech is that One Thing we cannot tolerate in a person. Bob might be a racist, but he's also a good carpenter, and there's some common ground there. If you just want to get hateful people out of your feed, then ban away. If you want to reduce the number of hateful people in the world, then treat them with respect and gradually show them a better way.

>compulsory single file for motor vehicles" petition?

Yes. In suburbs and rural areas "think of the children" types routinely get all their friends (usually stay at home parents and retirees) to complain to the town that a particular instance of dotted yellow line is inappropriate. Probably about half the time it backfires (e.g. they get a bunch of 4-way stops or speed bumps to slow down traffic through their snowflake neighborhood which results in them listening to every motorcycle accelerate off of every one of those stops or every landscaping trailer make a racket going over the bumps).

If I could make a recommendation, it wouldn't hurt to specifically call out some marginalized groups that often get left out of the Silicon Valley VC mix. Not to call out VCs or anything, but after a while people start to get the idea that even groups that seem generally inviting tend to have hidden biases. And yeah it could be an infinitely long list, but look at it as just being reassuring to those people who might not take the risk. Off the top of my head: people in so-called "flyover states", LGBT+, disabled people, anyone working on research or art that's remotely sex-related.

You do seem to agree that the severity & background behind offensiveness is complex and subjective. Banning is binary, and so it never maps fully accurately to such complexity, especially when similarly complex/subjective humans and weak AI systems are involved.

Obviously, the list of banned content will contain a complex spectrum of offensiveness, including some really blatant stuff but also some where the banning is very questionable or inconsistent with respect to that which was not banned. It is the latter which is most interesting to preserve and study, but cannot be mechanically separated from the former, citing the original problem of who to ban in the first place.

I'm Canadian (from the western part of the country) who grew up speaking pretty decent French, but lost everything but some traces of my accent when my Grandma passed away. I consider losing that language one of the great failures of my life.

I understand that that would be annoying. In your shoes, I'd be annoyed if they didn't even try to learn French.

I find that when I meet French speakers and want to practice, their first instinct is to switch to English. That's very kind, but it doesn't help me. If I was in a workplace in France, I would want people to speak French first, but slow down a little and tell me when I mess something up.

How would that go over in a workplace? Or is it the kind of situation where you speak English because it's the least annoying choice? :)

Well, for one, limiting yourslef is a good exercise in restraint. POSIX shell is simpler than the approach shown here. Using a simpler approach keeps your code more readable and understandable, and using POSIX shell as a baseline means a wide variety of people can understand what your code is trying to accomplish.

And you never know, you may someday find out that you want to move to an OS which doesn't support bash, or you start to distribute your software and the complaints roll in from the BSD users trying to port it to their OS, or bash makes some backwards-incompatible changes to some arcane behaviors this tool relies on, and since bash isn't standardized you didn't know until it was too late.

We may as well say a typical car driver has crossed a red light, driven on a sidewalk, exceeded the speed limit, or made a risky overtaking manoeuvre.

Without some evidence, the discussion just degenerates into the usual cyclists vs. car drivers argument.
Clearly not a cyclist.

Cyclists are not idiots. They are the product of roads that severely punish those that don't attend to drains, grates, glass and metal trash from car accidents strewn liberally in the margin of the road. They make tires called 'gator skins' for a reason.

Go ahead and ride in the gutter, do it tomorrow. And see if that bike makes it a mile, much less all the way to work.
As a pedestrian and driver in London (mostly pedestrian), it seems to me that many cyclists have a sense of entitlement.

For me a relationship is a way to have support in your life.

After a break up, all the support a person has given you is still there. The effect of that person helping you in your life should have lasting inpact on you. It's a strange way to put it but see it as a tool. When you lose a tool nothing that was build with it will crumble. The house will stay up even if the hammer break.
Of all the classic flamewar topics, the cyclists v. drivers death match has the most surprising levels of vitriol.

I don't know any dev doing 120K USD (105k EURS)__as a salary in Paris. I doubt there are many. If you want to make this figures, you need to be a freelancer, which means no job safety, looking for clients, and paying for social security and requirements yourself.

French salaries for dev are in the 30k to 70k depending of your level. 70k is rare. You need to be good. To be able to negotiate or have a rare skill.

However 120K USD is not rare in the US. I had proposals for 220k.

I think a human can and will misread votes, but 2 humans? 5 humans? 20 humans?

The more contentious the voting is, the more people can gather around and count along. And there isn't really a limit to how many can be a part of it, if it grows to be too large, additional work can be done to accommodate the extra people. Counting will take longer, but it will be that much more secure.

Hell, go ahead and throw a counting machine on there as well, but don't rely on it, and don't have it be the single source of truth, or only use humans in case of a "recount" or something.

>but remotely work for an American company

How can one find something like this?
Often, there is more gravel or sand or other crap as you get closer to right edge of the shoulder. Also, potholes are more common at the edge of the road in some places. The leftmost part of the shoulder is usually the clearest and smoothest. And if there are cars parked on the right, it's good to have some clearance in case someone throws open their door without looking.

I'll try to ride as far right as possible, especially on a busy street. But those other dangers are quite real, especially once you've picked up a bit of speed. In the areas I ride, cars can't really go much faster than bikes anyway (except they accelerate faster). So the relative speed of a car in motion is less than all the stationary stuff on the right that can hurt me. My city has a lot of cyclists and bike-friendly roads, so drivers are relatively alert and used to slowing down for cyclists. As a driver, the only time I find cyclists annoying is when they ride on the roads without shoulders or bike lanes and take a whole lane.
