Free speech does not mean I'm entitled to someone else's platform.

But if a platform wants to be a "common carrier" and not a publisher with all the responsibilities thereof, it doesn't get to make the distinction, so actually in a very real sense, you are entitled to use the platform of anyone who wants to be a common carrier, by definition.

If you send something controversial via USPS, they don't have any liability for it, and only in very exceptional circumstances would it be intercepted in transit. If they were responsible for everything they carried, the postal service would look very, very different. If it's illegal you can be busted at either end but the postal service itself doesn't care.

Think about this: If I give you the simplest piece of advice in legal matters, I'm heavily encouraged to declare I'm not a lawyer and that you should contact one.

I would be surprised that a lawyer would tell you this, because I've never met a lawyer who would. I have met plenty of non-lawyers who think that this is a thing, and in fact on HN, every person who spreads this information is a non-lawyer.

In a nutshell, it boils down to attempts by various state bars a few years ago to treat NOLO and AVVO and other websites as offering legal advice without a law license. But the bars lost almost all of those court cases...because it's okay for people to offer legal advice if they're not a lawyer, the same way it's okay for people to offering medical advice despite not being a doctor.

What's not okay is claiming to be a lawyer or legal professional if you're not one, but offering that as the reason your advice should be trusted. If you make no claim to be a lawyer or legal professional, it's not reasonable for someone to rely on your advice. Of course, they could sue you--but they could sue you whether or not you disclaimed being a lawyer, and either way the case would come down to whether it was reasonable for them to rely on your advice without hiring a lawyer of their own.

> What ideas do you have for publishers to actually monetize their content?

How about either:

A) A traditional product or service, where you can skim some money off the top.

B) User donations: Patreon, Kickstarter, etc

I'm open to more ideas, but these are already in the wild, and are already working just fine.
I have bought probably 15 courses. Go get a few. Invest 4-5 hours in each. Put your phone down and focus

This won’t actually make you good. But it’ll start the curiousity.

Then, go buy a coaching program. I’ve gotten a lot. The more the better.

Can start with one that’s small. I’d suggest spending 2k on all of this education in total.

> Why would we throw away these achievements, and turn WASM (with its potentially simple instruction set) into a complicated monster, that's prone to security problems through its complexity alone?

Because sandboxing in process is difficult otherwise. You can't allow the user to control code pointers, but for performance reasons you both need to have the raw pointers on the stack, and need to have semi privileged code in the same process just a function call away. Throwing everything into the process/hardware virtualization models doesn't fit this use case very well. It's why the VM in browsers carefully controls code pointers and is already pulled out to a semi sandboxed process.

And I'll grant you that language implementors want raw stack access to implement their own performant GC; that just doesn't exist yet in wasm.
not one-on-one communications, as far as I've seen. However there are some calls to limit group chats:

"There are good ideas floating around for how Facebook could make life harder on WhatsApp propaganda artists. In an op-ed published in the Times this week, Brazilian researchers Cristina Tardáguila, Fabrício Benevenuto and Pablo Ortellado offered three ideas: restrict the number of times a message can be forwarded from 20 to five, which Facebook has already done in India; dramatically lower the number of people that a user can send a single message to, from its current limit of 256; and limit the size of new groups created in the weeks leading up to an election, in the hopes that it will stop new viral misinformation mobs from forming."

I think Nathan Myhrvold [1] proposed something like this. There's a summary of it on one of the Freakonomics podcasts, but the summary is basically that it acts like an erupting volcano to cool the earth slightly.

"MYHRVOLD: So, climate change is a 1-percent effect. Now all we have to do is make the sun 1 percent dimmer. Now I don’t literally mean changing the sun. But there are a variety of things that bounce sunlight back into space. Clouds are one of those things: white clouds bounce white light back up into space. It turns out that volcanoes throw ash and particles, if it’s a big volcano, very high in the atmosphere. That reflects some of that light. And in fact this happened in 1991 when Mount Pinatubo went off. It cooled worldwide temperatures by a degree, degree-and-a-half-Fahrenheit for 12 to 18 months. Well, my company has come up with some very practical and cost-effective ways of deliberately putting particles into the upper atmosphere. And on paper, it works out that you could nullify all of global warming that way." [2]

I was a bit disappointed recently watching First Man. I get that Neil was a private person, but it was a little too over-dramatic (towards his personal life, not the space program) in my opinion. It seemed like an extrovert's wild speculation as to what's going on in an introvert's head. I think he was just a stoic, analytical type, which doesn't mean you need to be completely incapable of communicating emotionally with your kids or SO.
Unless of course you're the side of the debate that was opposed to Net Neutrality. Then free speech worked out quite well, didn't it?

> Because they have privileged positions in society, so hate speech has never been directed at them.

Really? As a minority and member of other protected groups, I have had to endure what you characterize as "hate speech" many times and yet I remain in complete opposition to the goals of your movement. The restrictions on speech and thought championed by your movement are contrary to the ideals of classical liberalism and, in my opinion, are a hazard to the continuation of a free society.

Your movement does not speak for me and I wish nothing to do with them. I suspect that I am far from alone in this regard among minorities.
We're essentially doing just that when we use the wood for housing and other products and then eventually landfill, then you can plant more trees on that land.
Currently, 6 hours at night (from about midnight to 6:30 am) and then another 90 minutes to two hours from around 8:30 to 10:30. I started last month.

I feel that I need to do it, as it's very difficult for me to go to sleep before midnight and if I don't get the mid-morning sleep I will be ineffective in the morning. At first I felt bad about doing it (going back to sleep when everyone else is working) but I usually work until about 9 pm at night as well as on the weekends for about 3 or 4 hours on Saturday and Sunday so I feel I am working a normal amount, just at really odd times. And I feel much more productive, particularly in the afternoon which I used to reserve for low-brain activity work.

It replaces a much shorter catnap I used to take in the mid-afternoon, which I have been doing for some years. I no longer need to do that.

> There isn't a single country in the world today where you can't spend a US dollar.

The strongest argument I think I can construe from your statement is that every country has at least one place where you can spend a US dollar but I don't think that's very useful.

If you bring a 20 USD bill to Europe, head to the center of a major city and try to spend it, I think you'll have a pretty hard time handing it to a shopkeeper. You'll have trouble spending it at all save for exchanging it for the local currency and handing that to a shopkeeper.
That's sort of orthogonal to what I'm talking about. The issue is that wasm doesn't yet give you the tools to implement those techniques (namely the ability to do brain surgery on a running stack).
Dreamweaver is responsible for the horrible 640px and 800px tabular layouts from the aughts and many other web design sins. The marginalization of these vertical tools is the greatest thing to come out of modern web dev infrastructure. You can still buy it for nostalgia though.
It's alright. There's a 77 KB spinner.gif that can be reduced by half.
The point is perhaps that we know we're driving off a cliff. Is this going to slow us down or not? If you look at the proposals, what does setting up half the land mass of the Sahara as algae lagoons do? How does that affect local weather patterns, wildlife, Etc.

The argument that the action may be dangerous is not as compelling when the prognosis for inaction is bleak.
I think the onus is on those who would silence debate to prove the immediate harm they are advocating isn't the worse alternative. There is a reason why prior restraint on speech is almost impossible to compel in American courts.

I find it curious that those who apparently are in such a rush to suppress Bad (TM) ideas adopt the worst ideas of fascists in order to do so.
Thanks for the quick answer, this all makes sense. Does this get limiting at all, in terms of wanting to mint new coins and not having the capital to do so?
LEO to L1 is not that bad using solar sails or ionic propulsion.

There are going to be real trade-offs to any orbit, but I think the minimum cost is going to be above X mass in L1 means X mass into LEO as you can't use less mass than that in any other orbit.
I completely missed that post even though I'd have definitely replied. Maybe just bad timing.
I find it strange that journalists tend to use singular boom and singular bust, and rarely mention that there's been at least 4 major boom/bust cycles, each one bigger than the previous ones.

One of the two major remaining use cases for DNSSEC was in protecting mail infrastructure, which has a less-sophisticated PKI (for lack of a better term) than the web. But the major mail providers --- including Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft --- have given up on DNSSEC (note that none of them are DNSSEC-signed) and have together generated SMTP-STS, which does for SMTP what HSTS does for websites: after a first rendezvous connection, all subsequent connections are protected by continuity rules rather than policy.

The SMTP-STS standard is explicit that it is motivated by the desire not to rely on DNSSEC.

The other major use case for DNSSEC is, as you suggest, protecting DV verification. But in the long term, DNS is going to get factored out of domain verification entirely. CAs will eventually (who knows how long it will take, even though the protocols are there) just verify domains directly with registrars using something built on RDAP. In the meantime, there are countermeasures against DNS spoofing (that have the virtue of also working against BGP spoofing, which DNSSEC doesn't fix) that the CAs can (and gradually do) deploy.

It's hard to see the justification for rolling out an expensive, inferior protocol to mitigate attacks that we're already adequately mitigating today and will in the future decisively address through other means.
Too narrow a view.

The tree already buries almost half of its biomass in the ground for you. And a lot of material goes through the food chain when the tree rots in situ. There's a big difference between regrown forest and converting prairie to forest and a lot of that has to do with quantity and quality of decaying matter on the forest floor. Dead trees are better than no trees.
>> If I break it out of warranty I throw it out. Other people who care about repairability can buy other brands.

One of the many reasons I don't use Apple products. I don't want to throw away technology because the battery wears out, or the screen cracks. Setting aside the environmental nightmares, I don't want to participate in planned obsolescence. My phone dies when I say it can die, not when a manufacturer deems it time for me to give them more money. I also don't throw away cars when their paint chips or the radiator leaks.
"hate speech" and "dehumanizing" are implicitly political terms. Will you will agree with me that one's politics are simply deeply cherished opinions and nothing more?

It appears to me that we are excluding voices from public discourse because, in the opinion of a powerful group, they have been rude.

One person's rude criticism can easily become another person's hate speech.
We already have laws that deal with explicitly inciting people to violence.

So called "hate speech" generally is not an explicit endorsement of violence.
I wonder why we can’t just extract CO2 and H2O from the atmosphere and recombine them back into hydrocarbons. Not only would this give us a closed-loop supply of hydrocarbons (meaning you could have things like airplanes) but you could just sequester the carbon by storing the hydrocarbons. The only problem is that it takes a lot of energy (more energy than we got from burning those hydrocarbons in the first place) but it would be great to solve the energy storage and carbon sequestration problems at once.
That's all awesome! Now can we get some funding for trials of RISUG? Mr Gates? or at least thoughts on that.
Underground power can solve tree fall issues. But it is much more expensive, both initially, and when any repairs or new connections are needed. The number of repairs likely goes down, but time to repair goes way up. In some areas, soil conditions make it pretty much impossible.

Trenching for the install may require more plant disturbance than would be needed to maintain nearby trees on a regular basis.

Distributed generation and redudnant distribution can help reduce the impact as well. Everything costs money though.
GitHub pages is free and great for static websites.
I used to regularly cross the Lake Ponchartrain Causeway [1] which was for many years the longest bridge in the world at 23.83 miles. It is a soul-crushingly boring drive and dangerous given how monotonous and narrow it is.

A friend used to have this interesting strategy for staying awake when crossing at night. There are two lanes going each way. He would straddle the pair and take up both lanes. That way, if he fell asleep and started drifting, the Botts' dots [2] on the centerline would wake him up as his wheels drifted over them. Probably not the smartest technique.

Are we at war with white supremacists? ANTFIA? Venezuela?

Equating ISIS with supremacists is equating a nuclear bomb with an M80 firecracker.
Agreed. I think the highest leverage at this point is actually in political realms, when it comes to climate change.

It's just infuriating that a $100/ton tax could fix the problem in a perfectly reasonable manner and government has their head in the sand.
It's funny, just yesterday night I was trying to send a quick reply in Gmail. I clicked on the mail I wanted to reply to. Gmail said "Loading..." I waited and waited, how long can it take to load a single mail message? Then as a last resort I went to inbox.google.com and wrote my reply in seconds. I find it ironic that Google wants to abolish Inbox in favor of Gmail, when Gmail became worse than Inbox has ever been.

> they perfectly know that more than 1/5 of their ads expense is having "null" results but overall they are ok to spend the 100% price for less than 80% "real" impressions

Don't ad companies charge fees as a function of spend? The chumps in this chain are (a) shareholders and (b) the managers hiring the agencies.

(Counterfactual: if this spend is that useless, it should be possible to start a competitor that focuses on high-ROI advertising.)
We’re not talking about individuals, we’re talking about large groups.
I don't see any reason not to focus on reduction AND capture now – in fact, I think it would be irresponsible not to. The atmosphere is a reservoir that's already holding way too much carbon; let's reduce what we're putting in AND increase what we're taking out – NOW, at the same time.
How much underwater?
It varies on a state by state basis, but the government provides the Lifeline phone subsidy. In California for example, you can get Assurance Wireless/Virgin Mobile for free with unlimited minutes/texts and 2GB of data. They'll also give you a free Android phone.
Every reply of yours so far has hinged on my definition of terms being arbitrary.

I'm strictly talking about well-defined terms.

Maybe you have never examined them because you never needed to interface with them in practice, or maybe you do understand them and are just arguing in bad faith to defend a more abstract belief. I won't make any assumptions about that.
Not to be pedantic, but it's not enough to have a conversation. You have to apply the law to the specific facts of the putative client's circumstances in such a way that it could actually be reasonably perceived as actionable legal advice.

Just offering general statements about the law, or hypotheticals, like we're doing, on this board, isn't enough.
Just curious, in what part of the world are you hiring and paying engineers only $60k?
Just FYI 1:1 exchange rate is a 25% discount.

Having spent some time in YT, I've found Canadians to be extremely agreeable. If you opened your wallet in a shop in Dawson City and said "Drat, I only have USD. Can you work with me?" I can pretty much guarantee they'll take your money - perhaps at a small discount to compensate them for the trouble.

I've traveled pretty far and wide. You really have to look hard (or piss someone off) before they'll reject USD. It spends easily.
At that point, the distinction between threads and processes gets really muddy even when you're not using wasm. clone(2) is just a superset of fork(2) that lets you decide whether to share memory or not (among other resources).

Similarly (and as an anecdote), I have seen cherry blossom trees blooming in the wrong weeks of the year where I live in southern Brazil. I live across a garden-ish square with dozens of them right across the street. The city is sprayed with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handroanthus_albus too — as I have one in my front yard — and every year I notice the blooming season shifting a bit, to the point that we are now in late October and the yellow blooming is either quite late AND timid or even inexistent because the tree decided to flip the bird (pun intended) to the weather changes.
> while you can represent yourself in court, the lawyers who run the court do everything to ensure you will likely stumble

Non-lawyers who represent themselves in court don't stumble because of a sinister conspiracy by lawyers to trip them up. They stumble because law is a really complicated subject, and no matter how smart you are it's impossible to replace years of full-time learning with a little reading on the side.

The saying "a man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client" is hundreds of years old.
I know what you mean, having had to use those chairs myself, but a less than ideal chair is a less than ideal chair.

I think your summary is correct, although I would add to point 2 (or a third point) about the complex nature of the jokes.

They weren't just one liners but instead would build up gradually.

That's what I like about this analysis, it got me to understand something that I somehow felt but had no idea that it was actually happening.
I think the point was that any comment or remark that you'd try to police with that statement can be flipped around towards you.

First of all: who is to decide what's dehumanizing, or even hate speech?

It's also possible to make a comment that is read by one part as hate speech, but it was never intended as such. The quick attack made on the poster that made the: "I feel that this comment dehumanized me." makes it seem like someone is offended by that very comment. If I, by accident, make comment, that someone decides is hate speech and try to have it removed, I would certainly feel dehumanized. Having the meaning of my words ripped apart and banned by a system that decided that I must hate someone, that's hurtful.

Hate speech isn't what worries me though, it's the notion that me speech somehow needs policing. First we ban the obvious stuff, not attacking people on the basis of gender or race, we can all agree on that. Next it's a ban on hateful speech against religion... but we don't all agree on that one, because some religions need to be criticised. Anyway screw the anti-religion people, who next? Those who go against the government, how about those opposing certain parties. In the end I'm kicked of the Internet for saying something negative about Disney.

I haven't watched it yet, though being from Clear Lake, I have a particular interest in space fact and fiction.

I was disappointed to see Ryan Gosling associated with the project; it looked like he was playing his character from "Drive" as an astronaut. He does "super quiet person" really well, but it didn't look like Neil Armstrong, it looked like Ryan Gosling goes to space.
