That an individual would "not like it one bit" at a politically-active conservative company for no reason other than that they are gay, is an argument against modern American conservatism, not against corporate social responsibility.
These are all great starts, I'm glad the Go team is finally able to get some purchase around these slippery topics!

Unless implied constraints are severely limited, I don't think they're worth it. The constraints are part of the public interface of your generic type, I'm worried that we could end up with an accidental constraint or accidentally missing a constraint and having the downstream consumer rely on something that wasn't an intended behavior.

For Go 2, I would really like to see something done with `context`. Every other 'weird' aspect of the language I've gone through the typical stages-of-grief that many users go through ("that's weird/ugly" to "eh it's not that bad" to "actually I like this/it's worth it for these other effects"). But not context. From the first blog post it felt kinda gross and the feeling has only grown, which hasn't been helped by seeing it spread like an infection through libraries, polluting & doubling their api surface. (Please excuse the hyperbole.) I get it as a necessary evil in Go 1, but I really hope that it's effectively gone in Go 2.
This thread is not just horror at the loss of content, it's FUD about the platform.

“There is no evidence you need money to get people back to court,” said [D.C. Superior Court Judge Truman Morrison], a judge since 1979. “It’s irrational, ineffective, unsafe and profoundly unfair.”

Agree. That's probably one of tje reasons why HN is so interesting:

Requiring everyone to sign in with full, verified name limits what people can talk about.

In fact I'd almost recommend against commenting online on anything using your full name.
> There seems to be an interesting cultural view that it's morally acceptable to butcher cows, but not dogs or cats.

I think you nailed it right there with no need to reconcile further.

Most people are horrified at killing or eating dogs and cats, but not other animals, because it's the cultural norm. It's the reason you hear people say, "Why did you decide to become a vegetarian?" and never hear, "Why did you decide to eat animals?"
And what kinds of societies and organizations so these dire situations blossom in? Crime organizations, autocratic regimes and slavery countries.

They're honouring the terms of the original license. The terms of the original license says they're allowed to redistribute however they wish ("including without limitation the rights to [...] sublicense"). They are redistributing with additional restrictions and sublicensing. It's just as valid as grabbing MIT-licensed software making some changes, and licensing those changes under the GPL. Now you can distribute a whole combined work, your changes+the original, under the GPL.

Adding restrictions to MIT software doesn't require the agreement of all authors. But anyway, they did get consent from all contributors: there's only three of them: "I have spoken to Sebastian and Daniel about this and we all want Lerna to do the same."

If you don't like the idea of adding restrictions, that's exactly what the GPL is for. The MIT license doesn't protect you from this.
Well, then a common sense incremental change would be to drop or discourage those tiny bail amounts, not throw out the whole system. Speaking of losing jobs, a whole industry just lost theirs.
Okay, but don't get the illusion that things like Mastodon currently let you port your identity and your data.

Moving from one Mastodon instance to another involves starting over from scratch, just as much as moving from Twitter to Mastodon does. Federated portability sounds like a nice goal and I hear that some people are working on it, but nobody really knows what form it will take.

Early (~3 years ago) NYCMesh used cjdns. I am not 100% sure of the reasons, but I think at the time cjdns had bad performance and was much harder to setup. I personally tried out cjdns recently and was pleasantly surprised with the ease of setup, though I still think hyperborea is having scaling issues and Guifi (the largest mesh) doesn't use it.

There is nothing stopping anyone on NYC Mesh to use cjdns, and some of us do run it for certain services.

The average Facebook user would receive $10 per year if they were to distribute all of their annual profit to the userbase. That's the best case scenario. What's the point?

So users can profit from their content? They won't profit from their content, it's nearly worthless per unit. It's only in the vast total sum that there is any value, and only because it's held by one entity. If you distribute it per post or per person, it's very close to meaningless. $20 billion is a lot per year to one entity; $20 billion per year to two billion people, is not.

If you were generous with Twitter and assumed they can generate $400m per year in profit and then chose to distribute that to the userbase, you're talking about ~$1.30 per active user per year. If you tilt the value distribution toward the most active, famous users (whose tweets are far more valuable in regards to monetization), then you're just destroying the distribution premise to begin with by concentrating the wealth in a slightly different manner: Taylor Swift doesn't need to worry about earning $35,000 per year from her tweets, and Joe Smith getting $7 from Twitter for their 1,278 economically worthless posts also does not matter.

Ultimately you just end up with a YouTube outcome if you value tilt. A small group of rich users earning millions of dollars on FB or Twitter, and everybody else entirely failing to earn even minimum wage for the time put into their economically low value posts. How does that really change the equation vs the people that are capturing most of the value today? Taylor Swift can already capture the value generated by Twitter and Facebook, she can buy the stock.
Usually, perhaps, but learned people had their objections to reading & writing as well.

This one’s pretty well known, although couched in a few layers of rhetoric that mean it’s usually presented without context (and misattributed to Socrates). In Phaedrus, written by Plato around 370 BC, the character of Socrates tells how when the Egyptian god Theuth gave the gift of writing to King Thamus, Thamus replied:

“…this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners’ souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves. The specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.”

If you decide to do it from hempcrete instead of concrete, I can recommend Essential Hempcrete by Chris Magwood which is a good book on the subject. Hempcrete is better suited for a DIY project than concrete, it also more natural, has decent insulation and acts as a humudity buffer, has good time shift properties and fire resistance. It also involves wood framing, but the framing is usually burried into the cast hemplime material.

It's not so much that I don't like Gmail, but I don't like Google in general. All other reasons aside, it's not a very good idea to ever put trust in an ad agency. I'd much rather support smaller companies that make money off their service or product, as opposed to Google which tries to compete in a lot of spaces in order to suck people in to its ecosystem.

Over time, I've been replacing various Google services with smaller alternatives. At this point, it's down to Youtube, which is pretty hard to beat. But it feels a lot better to provide usership to smaller businesses that could use it more.

> What is so different between '20 uses' and 'decades'?

Millions of dollars, that's what. The ability to save costs by designing a limited-use airframe that cuts a few corners compared to a long-lasting airframe and has much lower servicing costs due to its short lifespan, while still being combat-effective within those constraints. Kamikaze aircraft in Japan were much more shoddily built than contemporary conventional Japanese aircraft; they were single use!

It really depends on what you're searching for, but I don't think it's a problem. I think DDG is way better than Google for lots of things, but it's fine if it's not better at everything since a Google search is just a g! away.

You might want to try Bing as well. Sometimes it can surprise you, although I haven't used it as extensively as the others.
Imperialism has had a long, black history across much of the world. Europe, emerging as the world's new epicenter in the seventeenth century, created a new form of commercially-driven corporate globalization that led to massive change in the existing sociopolitical structures across Asia, Africa, and the new world. This new order lasted until after World War II, and now, as decolonization is several generations past, it's interesting to look back and see the relationships former-colonial nations have with their previous colonial masters.

A key example of this, I think, is Indian relationship with the British Monarchy. India, as Britain's most prosperous and valuable colony, but also a non-White one, had a mixed relationship with the British government and the Crown during its colonial era. This crystallized during the later Victorian era, after Sepoy Mutiny led to the establishment of the British Raj, and now, as India enters the global stage as power in its own right, it has to grapple with its legacy as a British colony. This article talks exactly about that relationship: about the role the monarchy played in India, and the impact it has left.

Drivers often make mistakes here, and especially bicyclists. A lot of cars try to turn from the middle lane, which makes passing on the left more dangerous for cyclists. On top of that, many cyclists attempt to pass on the right, while cars are turning right.

Agreed! Go is the only language I’ve found that combines static typing, lightning fast compilation, great concurrency support, a lightweight runtime, a community that emphasizes simplicity over purity, a strong ecosystem, and nice tooling.

However, ever churning dependency management, cumbersome error handling and the lack of generics were all huge drawbacks, that kept me reaching for Scala and Python for backends of personal projects. When Go 2 comes out, I think it’ll be my clear #1. It’ll bring the language to the level of power I like, while maintaining Go’s unique set of strengths (listed above).

remember the 70s and 80s, when TV and video games were supposed to turn us all into zombies? What happened? We eventually learned.

So they turned TV to Netflix.
> Do they need a massive hit though?

I'd say no, because they aren't dependent on advertising. Taking ads introduces a kind of competitiveness within the seller's financial heads. It's an irreversible state change that works for some companies, but -- and I'm no econ -- Netflix might be banking on not needing to do that for as long as they can. We see them dancing with the fire in their menu behavior and intercalary promos[1], so we'll see.

Mostly, getting people to show up for trial. It might not be the best system, but it does work to some degree.

For the same person, setting increased bail due to more serious allegations or greater flight risk does seem to make sense. That people have wildly different levels of wealth to start with is the major problem, but a system that would give me a $5000 bail on a shoplifting charge vs. a $5mm bail on murder seems to make some sense.
I've often wondered about obtaining my own copy of wikipedia (and other knowledge) to put on a portable device. It would be very useful when I jump in my time machine to travel back in time. I'm going to need to know how to build things so that I can become the "winner" of history. Of course, as history would show us if we learned, when you upset the apple cart, the establishment usually eliminates the threat. So, that's the last piece I haven't worked out yet. Oh, and the time traveling bit.
But now you're moving the goalposts. It's no longer about making life decisions for your own family and avoiding homelessness, now it's about forcing another person to do something against their will even though similar services are available elsewhere. Your position is no longer as convincing.
> Known bike thieves carrying a bike while riding another - nothing done.

your choice not to use the word convicted but instead known strikes me as really interesting.

So your argument is that the police should focus on enforcing your perception of order despite the fact that the social contract (and the law is a social contract) has been changed because the populace viewed the existing version to be structurally racist and unfair?

Not to mention this has nothing to do with a police officer's failure to act. The 'one party' that has fought for the police to not be legally required to enforce the law is not the 'one party' you are referring too.

Jerry Brown has had a pretty nutty career. He's been governor for 4 terms (16 years), but that's split into two stints 30 years apart. He was first elected Governor in 1974, at which point he was not quite the youngest governor ever, but close. He's now the oldest governor ever.

It would be really funny if at least one of the following would happen:

- the companies on the list would band together and fork lerna

- one of the projects that lerna depends on would tell them that they are no longer welcome to use their code because they hold the opposite belief

- the lerna community to implode because maybe not all the 169 contributors hold the same political position

Mixing software with politics never ends well in a democracy.
I believe that is exactly what they mean. They aren't proposing that Google etc. hire 6 year olds, they're proposing that the companies get involved in promoting what they do and how to get there. If these companies spent more of the billions they earn on enhancing education, showing off what they do and getting young kids involved in Tech then we may see a change in representation for these underrepresented groups.
I love reading about stuff like this. There's something magical about having an inspiration fire so hot you can't put it out without 6 hours of hard coding at an ungodly hour.
