I'm not aware of any such distinction in the law.

This whole ordeal is a good example how f'd up the current internet infrastructure is. For a decade or so it just seems like the beginnings of a megacorp-ruled Blade Runner-ish world.

While companies have all the right to have control over whatever on their platforms, there just isn't a well known unfiltered, unmoderated, "real" spot on the internet anymore that is known to all - just some niche spots requiring technical or insider knowledge.

It's sickening to look at all the stock-footage-showing happy-go-lucky feeds - comments, articles, posts disappearing without a trace, individuals banned, search results removed.

I'm rather sure that the more this continues, the sooner a breakout moment happens, creating p2p-ish network not needing direct corporate support for content delivery.

The situation isn't symmetrical at all; it only appears to be if you ignore or misrepresent the history of power and violence involved. The list of protected characteristics is small and political views aren't usually on it per se.

> coming from a country where people get taught from primary school onward to "disagree with what you say but fight for your right to say it".

I've always found that to be a trite self-aggrandising phrase (especially in its "to the death" variant). How many of the people who have repeated that, actually stick by it long term? Gotta be microscopic.
Imagine you are paranoid and you suspect someone is deceiving you. The reality of whether or not they are actually deceiving you does not have an impact on how much pain you feel.

Alternatively, someone with a mental condition that leads them to believe they are in pain would conceivably feel the same pain as someone who is actually being physically hurt.

Just my take on it.

I don't know of a de jure distinction either, but clearly there is a de facto distinction. Perhaps the law is undefined on this subject?
I don't think so. The sentence seems to be accepting the distinction between imagined pain and real pain, and saying that the imaginary nature of the former does not cause it to hurt less than the latter (technically leaving open the possibility that it does hurt less for some other reason).

Also, we clearly can distinguish imaginary pain from real pain. For example, there's a difference between the real pain I feel if I stub my toe and the imaginary pain I "feel" if I imagine myself stubbing my toe.

Can you provide a source for this? It has been my understanding that turbines had more of an infra-red signature due to the hot exhaust and high mass flow.
That’s simply not true. Without getting into left/right conversation, if you’re being disruptive at a restaurant, they can ask you to leave.

If you start using the inappropriate language at work, HR might have something to say about that.

The study doesn't make any claims about the validity of the "actually" profound statements, because the validity or lack thereof is irrelevant to the study. Those statements simply have actual semantic content, as opposed to the meaningless bullshit statements, which don't communicate anything and therefore can't even be assessed for their validity.

Yeah, that's exaggerated. What author probably meant, that proprietary drivers give some features, which won't work with open source drivers. For example, better results in 3D acceleration. In my case, I was unable to configure properly multi-display with 4 screens and HDMI audio without nvidia proprietary drivers.
The way it makes sense is that "right-wing nutjob" is not a protected characteristic, whereas race & sexual orientation are protected.

For Ubuntu or Debian the dropbear-initramfs package should handle most of it, it looks like https://hamy.io/post/0005/remote-unlocking-of-luks-encrypted... is an alright run through.

Another approach is to use something like OpenWRT as a bootloader then pivot_root into the real distribution after unlocking it - not sure there are any good instructions online for that though. I'm using it on a Raspberry Pi colocated 14000km away for https://dropbear.nl, it works pretty well. Kexec is great for remote kernel upgrades too.
In the 90s and early 2000s you had to search for the nieche content as well or know where it was located. Hundrets of different phpBBs or other forums hidden from "uninitated" people.

The simplicity of central platform just has all the users going there, because they don't want to search for hours to find communities to participate in.

infowars is still available at infowars.com, they just can't use the platform and distribution effects of fb, twitter, spotify, etc anymore, so they are precisely back in 1999.
I'm sure that some more fully articulated and sophisticated version of what you've said forms the basis of YC's decision to continue pragmatically pursuing its goal of being big and important (and incidentally making lots of money).
No, these sorts of faults can occur in any high performance chip. Intel is bearing the brunt only because they're the fastest. But Meltdown also affected an Apple core if I recall correctly and Spectre nailed them all.

This isn't as simple as "Intel/x86 sucks, let's go use SPARC". The causes run much deeper and the necessary fixes may or may not be architecturally elegant or simple.

Right, but if you ask people whether a sentence is 'profound' or 'bullshit', then it's pretty unclear which of those two categories you should put a sentence in if it makes sense but is also clearly false. Such a sentence doesn't really fall into either category. "The moon is made of cheese" has semantic content, but it's not very profound.
>>all traffic speed cameras have to be bright yellow. (I feel this is caving in to the driving lobby.)

If we assume that the primary purpose of a speed camera is to reduce speeding where its placed, then you want it to be as visible as physically possible. A hidden camera does absolutely nothing to slow someone down - they will get a ticket in the post few weeks later, but at the time when they drove past it, it didn't do anything to slow them down.

> it's making really overt death threats

I don't think that's overt, but I think it's grey enough (perhaps deliberately so) that it constitutes incitement to violence. This is awesome - banning account for specific reasons (message X contained an incitement to violence) means moderation can be applied consistently. Twitter has had a much better approach in this case than FB or Apple, who've simply stated there's an issue with hate speech on the entire account without saying what it was.

For those that missed it, Infowars' podcast was also recently dropped from iTunes, and several of Jones' pages dropped from Facebook as well. I'm sure there are many people who are looking to see how successful Jones is in suddenly having to swim on his own, without these hugely successful platform. As much as I'm not a fan, I do kind of hope that he can prove we don't necessarily need these platforms to distribute content and grow one's following (creating that following in the first place is obviously another matter).

As someone who picked out the "two categories" of statements with 100% accuracy before looking at the answers...

I think he has a point.

Creativity could be proposed to be conditional on maintaining personal well-being (health) while undergoing exposure to many new experiences (tolerance).

Losing your health during exposure to new things makes you reactionary and conservative and want to cling to set ideas.

Have no tolerance and you won't even want to be exposed to new or uncomfortable experiences in the first place.

But if you can maintain your health, and tolerate exposure to new ideas, why the fruit that comes from both those while undergoing continued diverse experiences is presumably creativity (being in the future because you can only get it after said experiences).

Interesting! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to say where YC China would be based.

Some interesting snippets (G Translated):

Lu Qi: YC China's new business will include

1) business incubation,
2) talent training,
3) research and
4) public welfare.

These are all in a way that Lu Qi's plan will operate in an unprecedented way. He wants more than just new technology. Technology is only an ability to change society. He wants to establish a new ecological support for new technology to change the society. That is the correct way to open the new world in his mind.

[...]

Q: How will YC China start?

Lu Qi: Among the four businesses, the first to start is the incubator. Incubation camps are the first attempt at YC localization, but at the same time it draws on the core of YC:

1. The methodology of the incubator process and training content established by Paul Graham;

2. A network of YC alumni with more than 4,000 people. Alumni will help later entrepreneurs, and for Chinese entrepreneurs, alumni networks around the world can set up channels for offshore companies;

3. The YC brand, which is incubated by YC, is equivalent to being recognized and endorsed, and is more likely to be favored by investment institutions.

In other respects, YC China may develop its own entrepreneurship curriculum and expect to reverse the influence of American entrepreneurs because I believe that globalization is the best way to innovate. YC China's research institute will be established under the YC Global Research Institute and will establish cooperation with Chinese research institutions. Finally, the charity business is hoping to focus on solving the impact of new technologies on people's employment.

However, it is now the first day of the launch of YC China, and everything is still very early. I only have one person now. The most important thing at the moment is recruiting people.

[...]

Lu Qi: Because we need to build a new innovation ecosystem, so many players with different roles can participate.

The first is Chinese investors. Because YC China will be closer to the early projects, it hopes to establish good interaction with Chinese middle and late investors. Also, YC China will also raise funds independently, and I hope to get support from China LP.

Second, we and the big companies will also have a lot of cooperation. YC China's investment projects may be acquired, acquired, or serviced by large companies in the later stages.

YC China Research Institute will also establish contacts with government or research institutions within the enterprise, and hopes to become China's support for the country to become a big country in innovation.

Freedom of speech is about censorship from the government. As much as Silicon Valley companies love to self aggrandize they are not the government and are under no obligation to allow their platforms to be used for furthering hate speech (or anything else.)

In fact I firmly believe sites like Reddit, Twitter and Facebook allowing racism and other horrible crap on their sites in the mid 2000s until recently is what helped make it more mainstream. In the web of the 1990s these idiots would have had to go to their own sites that nobody else goes to. Mainstream sites like Slashdot or whatnot didn’t tolerate it. For some reason after the dot com crash the new round of sites afterward have had some kind of delusion that they need to uphold free speech. And it’s nonsense.
Not a pure people manager - managers with a background of coding are important so they won't swallow BS, can understand tradeoffs between e.g. refactoring vs accepting tech debt to get a feature finished quickly, etc., understand the reliability or otherwise of dev estimates, etc.

But few strong developers are also strong people managers. The two attributes seldom overlap. And I think being good with people is more important in a manager than being good with code.

I'm unsure of what the exact legal status is federally and per state (although I've heard claims that social media giants represent de facto public forums and thus are subject to some free expression requirements), I'm simply pointing out the inconsistency.

Regarding "history of power and violence", well, if we compare the amount of violence and harassment right-wing events and meetings get (from Antifa, and other such orgs), vs. how relatively undisturbed gay pride events are, along with the overwhelming opposition of the media, academia, corporate elite, etc., to rightist views, I think its clear that the bulk of the "power and violence" lie not with people like Jones

Ask HN: I feel incapable of learning
I'm currently in my second year of University and I feel like I'm not actually absorbing any of the information that is being taught. I'm only just passing. I have difficulty recalling information and putting it into context. I'll hear numbers and terms and phrases and it kind of feels like they all just "bounce off" of my brain. I've tried using flash cards, creating a zettelkasten (a kind of personal wiki note taking system), I've completed the course "Learning How to Learn", I take extensive notes, I've tried improving my diet, exercising, and making sure I get enough sleep. All to no real benefit. Am I just dumb? It's really demotivating! Is there anything else that I could try? Have you experienced something similar?
Clearchannel, which controlled most FM channels, infamously stopped playing John Lennon's "Imagine" after Sep 11 2001. So this is not new. In the absence of popular govt. media and channels, this does form de facto censorship in the US.

The usual explanation I have heard is that free speech is limited to tge govt. not able to arrest you for criticising it. It does not apply to private parties.

I think de facto censorship by private monopolies must also be illegal for true freedom of speech.
Which is a nonsense principle. Private companies should be either allowed to discriminate on whatever grounds they like or forced to treat all equally.
I think that these are different persons leads may be one of the causes of a lot of the negative symptoms we're seeing in project management in our industry. If I compare the teams that I've been on, a lot of the frustration was due to the communication (or lack thereof) between the leadership roles that you've described. The best teams where were single people were responsible for all types of leadership - even if it was more than one person.

Pain hurts by definition. Even if the pain is imagined, it still hurts, by definition. If you are imagining something that doesn't hurt, you are not imagining pain, by definition. Pain hurts, even if it is all in your head.

Hate speech is a slippery slope, it's ill defined and you grant an awful lot of power to the people who get to 'define' the term.

A critique of islam could be considered 'hate speech'.

On the other hand I do agree that calls for violence/murder should indeed be punishable and are also far better defined to be taken up as law.
> It feels counter-intuitive to find cynicism positively correlated with prosocial behaviour (which the article defines as donating to and/or joining a charity.)

Does it? I would expect both to follow from, for want of a better term, "caring more": you would expect someone who is more sensitive to bad things to be both cynical and prosocial than someone who noticed bad things less.
