> Is the difference between the First Amendment and the moral principle of free speech really that nuanced?

It depends if you're trying to win elections or internet arguments, or to ensure a healthy marketplace of diverse ideas exists, because that is the best way we know of to find the best solutions to problems. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube are where modern people "congregate" and get their "information". Cutting someone off of these platforms dramatically lowers the chances that anyone will hear them, that's the entire point of the action. Claims that dismiss this as no problem "because someone else's platform" are not just saying nothing illegal has happened, they are also essentially saying a free marketplace of ideas is not valuable. This is a very new development in western countries, and it's pretty easy to see how far gone most people are already, even on more intelligent forums like this. Partisan politics trump almost everything on certain topics, even one as important as this.
See, you're doing it again. You've (upthread) made a claim you can't support with evidence --- that there's "settled science" connecting genetics in some useful way with criminality --- and then accused people who disagree with you of "closing our eyes and ears" (rhetorical note: it's hard to close your ears) and "pretending that genetics plays no role".

Again, the context of the thread is that appeals to genetic determination are "in the worst case" coded appeals to racism. And, obviously, they often are. You haven't engaged with that argument, but rather constructed a straw man to attack.

What is true is that if you want to ruminate on possible genetic links to criminality, you're probably need to be careful, because you're treading on ground that has very much been staked out by racists over the last 100-or-so years. Don't get angry at people who point that out to you; get angry at the racists. Or, I mean, move on to some other, less freighted argument.

I’m a big fan of Don Norman - I read his book when it was called “The Psychology of Everyday Things” while I was studying industrial design in the lat 80’s. I disagree with him on this. Discoverability varies between products depending on the complexity of the interaction model.

Thanks for the comment. Valid point. It encourages me to write tutorials to shorten the learning curve. Building a tool for non-developers is too much effort for me. I should mention that some parts of the stack, say MobX, has a shorter learning curve, in my opinion, than an alternative, Redux.

I tried a bunch of tool from JS world, this stack, once learned, is easily manageable by really small technical teams (1-3 people).

Overall, I am from the camp "whatever works, customers don't care about stack". Just posted to HN to see if something is not clear in the README or some features can be added/removed from boilerplate.

EDIT: I did not answer your question. Majority of signups at the demo app is web development agencies and freelancers.
Code is data. I'm surprised to see developers willing to adopt "there is no custom grammar, just create this data structure" after how poorly Lisp was received.

Depending on how high in the atmosphere the aerosols are added, they remain aloft for a few weeks to a few years. It's not a long-term commitment to altering the atmosphere's composition like burning fossils has been. This is in fact one of the arguments raised against solar radiation management: that the temperature rebound could be terrifyingly rapid if SRM is stopped. But that danger applies to space sunshades too.

Bitcoin is for speculation. That's its use-case: it's fundamentally a financial system. It's made a few million people rich and several more million people poor, and started several thousand businesses. That's not a bad track record for something 9 years old; it beats out YCombinator (whose use-case is also "making people rich"), which is almost 14.

I've been on the web since 1994. I certainly found it useful in 1998, but the things it was useful for included:

1.) Looking up Geocities pages for my favorite bands.

2.) Reading rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan.

3.) Playing DragonRealms, an early MMORPG.

4.) Instant-messaging my friends.

5.) Earning money through AllAdvantage.com. Think I made about $40 from them off referral fees.

6.) Looking up information for school papers.

7.) Amusing myself with the HampsterDance.

Streaming video existed but was far too slow and glitchy to be worth watching. Amazon.com existed, but my parents refused to buy anything online. My sister was an avid user of Kozmo.com when she went to college, but then they went bankrupt a year later. MapQuest existed, but took too long to load and still required that you print out directions, since you couldn't exactly bring a computer in the car.

By contrast, I've spent over $5K at about 2 dozen different AirBnBs in the last 5 years (and stayed at a hotel...erm, twice, maybe?). I just booked a haircut online, after reading the Yelp reviews and looking up the location on Google Maps. I spent 15 minutes typing up this comment on Hacker News, which I guess is the spiritual successor to Usenet. I don't own a TV, but I watch a bunch of YouTube and my wife's an avid Netflix user. We get almost all our packages delivered via Amazon.

In terms of how much the Internet changed behavior, a lot more happened in the 10 years between 1999-2009 than the 10 years between 1989-1999, and arguably even more happened between 2009-2018 than 1999-2009.

Just wondering if you could provide more details on your model like do you use a CNN or an LSTM? Is there a paper you have written about it? Also how do you get the data for training your models? Also do you do any retraining as new data comes in? Do you also have some groundtruth to measure the performance of your models?

A hell of a lot faster than that. If you can save 50% of your income (which is very easy to do for the vast majority of people in dev positions or those making similar money), you can retire in your 50s. 40s if you're really aggressive and a little lucky.

> Globe-scale carbon sequestration would increase demand for olivine massively.

I ask too much, I know, but first-semester freshman macroeconomic comments drive me nuts. As demand increases, and as production rises to meet it, the entire economics of the production chain changes. Purchases amortize more quickly. Processes improve. Infrastructure gets more fully utilized. The effects of mass production are felt all the way down the supply chain. I mean, as far as I know. I'm no economist.

But anyone who implies that increased demand automatically means increased prices probably knows even less than me.
I might be pedantic, but methane is a carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms. I assume you meant carbon dioxide.
Yes, thank you for pointing this out. Biological systems are huge & interconnected, and changing one component will invariably affect the others — probably in unforeseen ways.
That too is sort of a business needs driven application.

It doesn't occur to someone without sales or maybe accounting domain knowledge that prices on a 'cut' order, bill, or other receipt, while numeric in nature, must be fixed and distinct to that order/line item when it's finalized. It becomes no longer a number representing what a given thing should cost in the future, it is now part of a record reflecting the contents of a legally binding contract.

Let me give you an example of where I live. I make (for here, not in general) reasonable money; most of my friends make considerably less than I do. I also happen to be lucky and live with room mates which drastically reduces my cost of living.

As it stands, if I wanted to rent my own apartment, 50% of my monthly income would be gone right there. That's not including utilities, internet, or food, and that's not a "nice" place - it's just what you can find. With those other expenses factored in, I'd be looking at roughly another 15% gone on top of that.

So as it is, just to keep a roof over my head, and keep myself fed and minimally entertained, it would cost 65% of my monthly income. I don't drive, but my transit pass is another almost 5%, so that brings it up to 70%; if I did drive it'd be another 10-15% on top of that for fuel and maintenance.

So somehow 30% of my income needs to be spread out for ALL of life (clothing, surprise bills, travel for visiting family, actually doing things you enjoy, etc.). On top of that, now there's saving for my retirement; you say 20-25% should go into savings. Being conservative and using the 20% figure, that leaves 10% of my monthly income to live off of. This also doesn't take into account any sort of savings for a mortgage or car, "Rainy-day Fund", or even allow for the remote possibility of ever traveling in your life.
It took me like 15 minutes to replace the battery in my Mi5, 5 of which were spent watching a tutorial video. And I'm neither skilled nor did I have the right tools. The battery itself was 10 EUR including shipping from a local seller, fwiw.

That said I don't think 79 USD every two years is ridiculous for a 700+ USD device. It better not take an hour, though!
How is having recorded video of actual roads not valuable data? You're assuming the only option is training self driving cars on it. They might be training something totally separate to recognize signs, or see damaged roads, how quickly pedestrians react at different times of day, etc.

Very narrow view point for you to take.

Baidu's AI Can Do Simultaneous Translation Between Any Two Languages
An interesting proposition. Though, oddly one that the game mechanics themselves can also have more fun with. Quite simply, it could be that your task is just a side quest. Sure, it is important to you, but not at all necessary in any meaningful way for the adventurer. Nor for any of the actually important things in the game world.

That is, I reject the 3 explanations at the end. It could be that the person is very reliable, the task isn't stupid, and the person is unable to complete your quest without an item. In a world where things are constantly getting prioritized, it is just not making it to the top of the list. Isn't necessarily at the bottom, either, but needs to be "on the way" for the person to get it done.

This seems to be more common when you have people push goals without sharing success metrics. As much as I was annoyed by Measure What Matters, there is some element there to consider.
I’m trying to imagine a technical problem where a worker would necessarily need to do something at the outset, and where it would be visible in the way suggests. Other than really contrived scenarios, I’m coming up blank.
Abruptly terminating a VM is quite common in cloud services, can "unapply" a write, because it's equivalent to a power outage. The data lives in the VM guest's cache until the fsync sends it to the host.

With VM termination in the cloud being not exactly uncommon, I would say that's a general enough failure mode in a distributed system that it's an unacceptable risk to run MongoDB in its default configuration (or any database in the equivalent configuration).
It was an incredible comedic performance. (By his co-stars too, btw, but he carried a lot of the film, I felt.). Also an overall very funny movie.

I'm not sure exactly how much of Graham Norton is scripted, but he's had at least a couple of amazing appearances on that. (It's a bit of an edge case, but I'd argue that it qualifies as 'acting' even if only slightly so.)

EDIT: I gained a lot of respect for him -- as an actor -- after NG. I'm told comedy is one of those things that it's really hard to do well.

Given that every global warming/climate change prediction has been wrong so far, why would it make sense to believe the same political entity making predictions now? If you plug in the data from 10 years ago into any climate model, the prediction for now is wildly wrong.

A more prudent approach, in terms of believing that a prediction for the future may happen, would be to plug the data from a decade or more ago into a model and see if it accurately predicts now. If not, reject that model, try to do a root source analysis to find out what's actually happening, and try again.

Simsim – Trust on first use SSH server
Sorry yes understood thanks.
Yes or they don’t work.

I’ve spent way to much time as lay man trying to penetrate Econ speak to get the issue, but the crux seems to be this:

Currently markets and goods don’t price the cost of economic damage into products.

So plastics are cheap as hell because they don’t reflect clean up costs.

This means we have plastic straws which are so cheap on a per unit basis, that you can sell 100s in a single bundle.

Saran Wrap, packaging plastic, tooth brushes, phones, pens, toothpicks, mugs, wires, buttons, and billions of other items are extremely cheap.

Now imagine if ALL of them went up by a small amount.

Then recall, that for the developing world the difference between a 0.01 cent plastic cost and 0.05, is an increase in packaging cost for cheap goods like single use detergent sachets, or single use shampoo packets.

Of course, this will directly reduce usage of those goods, which is the intended purpose, but the fact is that those goods being cheap means people can grow faster without worrying about the issues which arise.

Carbon curtailment is fundamentally energy consumptive. We will spend more energy to capture carbon. We would have to create a system which is carbon negative in itself (after power and maintenance costs are calculated), and then pay for the whole thing,

Taxing goods to price externalities is probably the most efficient way to achieve it.
Teens use Juul e-cigarettes much more often than other vaping products
This reads like just more "both sides" lazy journalism. It's just a comparison of how self-identified Republicans and Democrats feel about the importance of various issues. TL;DR (and obviously) It shows differences. The vox author takes this as an opportunity to plead for both sides to come together, although that's covered with a fig leaf or two of verbiage.

If this poll has been done over a period of time, we could see how the self-identified party alignments shifted with time. Party members differ right now on which issues even matter, great. How has the importance of those same issues varied over time, by self-identified party members. That would let you draw a conclusion about polarization. This article overreaches.
Super Mario Bros. 3 – the greatest game ever – just turned 30
This is what immediately came to mind. The OA missed the fourth reason why his Canary McGuffin wasn't touched: Maybe you, who gave the task, haven't clearly communicated the problem, or the solution you are looking for. Now who is to blame in that circumstance?

Presuming it's not an issue of laziness, or incompetence, or of higher priorities trumping your request, why are you looking at your McGuffin instead of communicating with the person you assigned the task?
I still don't understand what's the "underlying technology". They call it a Blockchain, is it a permissioned Blockchain?
To be fair, modern video games pretty much train you to ignore people that are just asking for things. Dragon's Quest is rather amusing in this regard. It will even handily keep a log of active quests with graphical pointers to where quests can be found. That said, to my knowledge, there is no penalty for not doing quests. They just pile up, endlessly.

I don't think this is any different than any other open world game I have ever seen. Sure, some will have time bound quests. Most aren't, though.
I feel like I'm on the opposite end of that quite a bit. Quite often, colleagues come to me because they don't understand the task they're given, so I try to explain the pieces and how to learn about them. However, either I overwhelm them or they don't want to put in the effort, but eventually it ends up being: "do this, then that, and don't worry about how I knew to do that".

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a good solution to either side of this. I mostly did what you did to get where I am, and I suppose I expect others to do the same.

Usually my advice is: study this, that and the other thing, and come back to me after 40 hours of study (without my guidance, it could easily be several times that). However, the other side wants something that will take <1hr, and when I give them that, they complain that they didn't learn anything.

It's a hard balance to strike.
No headphone jack? Can't use the fast charger that came in my vehicle? Nope and Nope.

Buy the LG v35 or v40. These phones have a headphone jack, has an OLED screen, is waterproof, has an SD card slot, works on Project Fi, and if you've ever dealt with LG customer support, they're great. The v35 has a 'normal' lens and a 'wide angle' camera, and the v40 has both of those plus a telephoto. The Pixel2's portrait mode was abysmal compared to the offerings from Apple, but LG's portrait mode absolutely stomps both the pixel and iphone. There's no reason to buy a pixel.

The issue with the Kyoto Protocols (and most multilateral agreements) is that there is no recourse from the international community for leaving the agreement. The only enforcement is for members, and there is no penalty against not being a member or real economic benefits for being a member.

There is a place for international agreements, but only if structured properly and flexible enough to change with the timescale they are meant to mature in.

Go programs are not prohibited from using arena allocation provided by a generally available library — that is what the C++ programs do.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a generally available Go library that provides arena allocation. Of course, Go does provide GC.

Does extending them freedom from one problem by removing a greater freedom from both them and the rest of us sound like a good bargain? It doesn't to me nor does it seem so, thankfully, to a great many others.

I mean, sort of - you can't drive unless you pass a test of safety. I'm not sure exactly how that fits your model of "until proven unsafe".

So, a shade of black that is slightly less black than VantaBlack™?
I agree that the cartoon that you criticize is confusing. Starting with the first panel, because it doesn't make clear that Alice doesn't know the color/state of her photon. If she knows it's yellow she only has to tell Bob to prepare a yellow photon and there is no need for an entangled pair to make it possible. The whole point of the setup is to be able to "teleport" an arbitrary unknown quantum state.

But the following doesn't seem correct:

> when Bob receives Alice’s bits, he uses that information to apply one of four transformations to his photon. It is Bob’s action that changes his photon’s state into the state of Alice’s original photon. And that is the only time that Bob’s photon changes state.

To recover the state being "teleported" by Alice, Bob has to apply one of the four pre-specified "rotations" (unitary transformations) according to the two-bit message he receives. In fact one of the operations is to do nothing, sometimes the state of his photon is already the state of Alice's original photon.

Of course this is true only after the measurement performed by Alice. Previously there was no relationship between the state of Bob's photon and the state of Alice's "source" photon: the probability of the state being the same (or related by one of the three other pre-specified rotations) is essentially zero.
I would get annoyed because of all the labeling. It is unnecessary.
