It makes me sad how 4chan has largely been reduced to a place where racists and bigots and sexists hang out. When I was a teenager, it felt like the racists in /b/ were doing it ironically (maybe I was wrong?), but now it seems like a place to spout off white-nationalist nonsense, and whenever its called out the people fall back on "it's just a joke bro!"

I, as an individual want to lay taxes and I want them to be put to good use. I also think my income bracket pays too little taxes.

I want a thriving, stable society and I’m well aware on an intellectual level that if faced with the constant decision whether I should donate here or donate there or pay more for child-care so that they can subsidize people with less income, I’ll become overwhelmed and fail. I already fail at deciding if and where to direct an end of year donation.

A thriving society needs money to serve all the needs that a thriving society has: infrastructure, education, governance, just to name a few. I don’t always agree how and where tax money is spent. I also sometimes feel cheated when paying taxes, but more often than not it’s because I see someone else, possibly a large Corp such as AirBnB actively avoid paying their due share.

So please, make me pay taxes, but make everyone else pay theirs.
From the press release

>Google has abused this market dominance by preventing rivals from competing in the online search advertising intermediation market.

>Based on a broad range of evidence, the Commission found that Google's conduct harmed competition and consumers, and stifled innovation. Google's rivals were unable to grow and offer alternative online search advertising intermediation services to those of Google. As a result, owners of websites had limited options for monetizing space on these websites and were forced to rely almost solely on Google.

This just doesn't make sense to me. So Google offers the website search functionality. It then says "If you want to run ads, you have to use our ads" a few years later Google says "If you want to run ads, you have to give us the best N spots, and all other ads have to be approved by us." Because of this the EU concludes "rivals were unable to grow and offer alternative online search advertising intermediation services."

I am really trying to read the logic some other way but the logic appears to be as follows

1) Google let people set up search pages on individual websites.

2) Google set the terms for ads on those search pages so that Google had exclusive/best ad spots on those search pages.

3) 2 limited competitors ability to develop an alternative to 1.

4) Because Google had a dominate market position, 3 is illegal and should be fined.

This honestly feels pants-on-the-head crazy to me because I do not see how this logic doesn't apply to Google.com. Should Google be forced to let Bing run adds on "google.com/search?q=shoes"? No! Yet if it is "ShoeReviews.com/search?q=shoes" suddenly Google is required to let Bing run adds on it.

Is nobody else seriously worried about the safety of lab grown food in general?

It took us decades to realise that cigarettes are in fact harmful. Medicine takes years to get approved. Who really understands the long term impact of fake meat on human body? Why aren't regulators requiring long term trials of these products before allowing them to market?

As a complete outsider looking in, this trend is very worrying. Am I missing something?
Ah, visa reciprocity. A policy that gets created when you let people with diplomatic passports decide who needs a visa.

We shouldn’t let people make decisions when the results can’t impact them under international law.
I think the combination of ideas that Silicon Valley is inching us towards is essentially what Personal Rapid Transit has always been.

Electric cars are about eliminating the issue of pollution. The idea of ridesharing is to eliminate the maintenance, debt, and storage costs of owning a car. Self-driving cars are about eliminating the accidents and wasted time spent driving. Hyperloop is about using up less valuable surface space just for transportation, and hiding the ugliness of roads underground.

Personal Rapid Transit has been able to accomplish literally all those goals since its inception. Each pod is autonomous, on-demand, driverless, and electric. It can be either on a hanging monorail, or undergound, to avoid wasting valuable surface space. And it doesn't require miles of ugly gray asphalt.

Charm co-founder here... We are not betting on hydrogen fuel cell cars. There is an existing $120B/year market for hydrogen used in the production of ammonia fertilizer and oil refining. That hydrogen is currently produced from fossil natural gas, and we are replacing that.

The Sleipner Project for geological carbon sequestration has been ongoing for 20 years with extremely rigorous measurement. We also know that natural gas is stored in geological deposits for millions of years, and in vast quantities. I don't see a strong reason to be skeptical of long-term sequestration a slightly different gas in those same geological formations.

This is the USA, I'm surprised he wasn't shot. Not joking at all, your story is actually kinda funny but it could have gone so much worse at so many points.

Is that AirBnB's fault? Is it the hosts fault? Is it the cities fault for not regulating this? Is it our society's fault for allowing drinking to the point of forgetting your address?

I think in the end it's just a series of unfortunate events, that give you a really great anecdote, which might have turned out much worse. I wouldn't claim this as evidence for or against AirBnB but man did it make me laugh.

Good on you for de-escalating the situation and keeping your head! Hopefully, Trey had the decorum to apologize later on and try to make things right.
Hey, thanks for the link! It seems odd to structure things this way but looking through that thread you linked to it seems they opted for simplicity. Not sure why this is simpler than 15% on the margin though.
I am trying to avoid complete sterilization after reading a quote from a study:

"... a lack of exposure of children (as well as adults) to dirt, commensal bacteria, and 'minor' pathogenic insults results in an immune system that does not function normally. This lack of antibodies to true pathogens in the immune system has resulted in the dramatic increase in allergies and asthma in developed countries over the past twenty years."

IDK that this constitutes the streisand effect. I don't feel like most people are going to be actively seeking this out now that it's being banned. Part of what fuels the streisand effect is that the thing being covered up was relatively unknown prior to the cover-up. People know the details of this event. They know, generally, what's on the video.

The fact that it becomes harder to get isn't going to make Joe-Everyman curious about what the big deal is. He gets that the big deal is that it's a video of actual humans being actually murdered, and he probably has feelings about that.

> Like over the years I’ve noticed that the kind of person that insists on sending me Excel spreadsheets is markedly less conscientious.

While your observation may be based on anecdotal evidence in this instance, just a reminder that not everybody's technology choices are defined by factors that are so black and white. For example, I'm well aware of several tools on Linux which can blow my Windows-based workflow out of the water. But my visual impairment means I can't use them, because accessibility on Linux is terrible. Take the time to consider the possibility that maybe somebody has been forced into the usage of a certain tool by circumstance, rather than by the fact that they're bad at their job. If I was to use the tools you love, I would probably deliver subpar results.
This is a completely reasonable argument. You should absolutely have recourse if your neighbors (short-term or long-term) create a disturbance.

On the other hand, if they behave themselves just as well as long-term owners, then no, you really shouldn't have any say whatsoever about who lives in your neighbor's property.
>What we do know about actual evolution seems to support Gall's Law.

That's because evolution takes place with very small changes in genome. It is an undirected process. Sexual reproduction makes evolution better for certain fitness landscapes since you can basically jump somewhere between two points on a landscape when you have two organisms sexually reproduce, but it is still undirected. This doesn't necessarily show that conscious long term planning is ineffective.
I wonder if there is any research into hardware architectures optimized for Rust.
I was using economic activity (i. e. revenue) in the EU, not worldwide. A company not operating in the EU shouldn't be fined, obviously.
That would be true if no further research has been done in the field and no progress has been made, as if we are only using the exact definitions described 80 years ago. But we haven't. There has been more research done, and the notions have progressed. If we throw it all out, we will have to recreate it again. If you rename it, you still don't escape the legacy. All of this is futile.
Being wireless is just that good. Especially when exercising or otherwise out-and-about.

The charging is not nearly that obnoxious, I've gone through a wide range of wireless sets and they've all had multi-day charges.

Personally I have a nice set of IEMs for longer, sitting use cases and otherwise use a cheap (~$20) wireless set; so that when it inevitably breaks/gets lost/battery wears down after a ~year, it's negligible to just replace it.

Also, nowadays, wireless headphones have surprisingly good audio; especially if you're just listening to podcasts.
This made me think of your point, too: "what we do know about actual evolution seems to support Gall's Law."

But I do wonder if this world is one big 'system'? Or is it something else? I am curious if we are limited by our languages in thinking only of 'system'. Do we need to figure out something else (e.g., via science tools and stronger languages) to a get a 'deep' sense of reality? And by this, I draw on 'linguistic relativity'.
despicable websites such as rotten.com and liveleak should also be banned -- they really mess up human brain. Some reddit subreddits are extremely graphic and twisted too.
The Samsung Gear IconX (last year's model) had 4 GB of storage. However it was useless to me as I no longer manage my own MP3 files. I use Pandora/Spotify/Google Music/etc.

If Apple adds storage, they hopefully will do it in a way where it's easy to "cache" playlists or albums easily without having to manage files.
You can't avoid the choices of others. Pay now, pay later (for instance, in higher health insurance or tax payments), but it's naive to complain about having being impacted at all.
You're right, it used to be very non-political, irreverent, and highly offensive, as in offensive humor. Now there's a whole lot of very sincere religious/political/racial hatred.

This is something that I am observing too.
It's telling that they don't ban Facebook, the site which was actually used to stream it.
Being able to connect to multiple devices at once, not having a chord get in the way or getting tangled while in pocket (happened to me a lot while exercising), not being tethered to a device (not a big deal with a phone, but it can be annoying when you are using a laptop or desktop), some headphones overlay external noises over your music (anti-noise canceling?) so you can be more aware of your surroundings/people talking to you.

These are just a few I thought of off the top of my head, but they may not be worth the price tag for everyone.
>whatever HN and Reddit claims to hate.

Does HN really hate Apple though? Or AirPod? Or iPhone.

I would agree on MacBook Pro.
Those fixes are inarguably lower level than training. Not just to be pedantic but the whole reason Boeing is in this mess is because they figured all the lower level things could sort out issues, without engaging higher level fixes.

I'm skeptical of the amount of automation the big manufacturers are pushing. They're creating wildly more complex system interactions in the process.

m00t had taken action when it was necessary in the past. m00t had already banned the offending parties once. Then he reinstated them and gave them a containment board. In retrospect this did not work so well. The containment board became an ever radicalized echo chamber and worst, it did not contain anything. Since Hiro took over it seems like he has ignored the issue.

This is a great tool for stifling opposing politics of _any_ kind. And seems like the easiest way to start an oppressive tyranny than a method of stopping terrorist propaganda.

Charm co-founder here... Two quick notes:

(1) we agree wholeheartedly on the experts front — for the core technology around gasification we've been working with a variety of PhDs, national labs and companies with extensive previous gasification experience,

(2) the gasification technology we're developing is actually fairly novel and unfortunately in this industry that means patenting is in our future, which means that we're not going to blog about the core parts of our gasification system... instead we can blog about the surrounding systems that still represent interesting challenges. So that's why we blogged about grass flow. Rest assured 95% of our time is going into gasification ;)
"If that's a number they can eventually get closer to the current cost of manufacturing gasoline, well then this is gonna be a $500 billion company."

It's a $5 Trillion dollar company.

This, and the 'male contraceptive with no side-effects' are 'magic claims' style companies, where if their claims are true, they immediately massive companies.

Usually, the devil is in the details. A few little things here and there contextualize the claims.

Think of how many smart people we have working on big problems and how few real breakthroughs we have.

These things will mostly be evolutionary. Like 'male contraceptive' but it actually does have the side effect of long-term problems. Or takes a year to wear off. Or is $20 a pop and last for 1 hour. Or is only 95% effective. Etc. etc..
Scary how an ISP can just up and decide to block a website for hosting what they think is offensive. I guess it's the norm for China and Russia. What's scarier are the people cheering this as if it's a win.

Open addressing has better cache performance, and for most workloads is much faster than chaining implementations. Hashbrown's implementation is based on Google's SwissTable, and they explained the reasoning behind their choices in this CppCon talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncHmEUmJZf4
Dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19227441 ?
Pointer chasing is very expensive if your chains end up in different cache lines. The bottleneck on a lot of application isn't how fast your instructions run, but how fast you can get data to them.
Yeah, free speech doesnt mean "anything goes". We as a society have made the determination that there are categories of speech that are harmful, and as such are illegal. You cant libel, you cant slander, you cant shout "Fire" in a crowded theater. Speech that advocates for the supression or termination of other people based on their race is "Hate speech" and also illegal. There is neither value nor need for complete and total 'free speech'.

I know this is well-intended, but "what about the disabled?" has become almost a canard for suggesting the status-quo is ideal for disabled people. It's absolutely not.

Virtually every suggestion this author made would benefit disabled people. Denser/walkable cities aren't just good for walkers. They're easier to traverse in wheelchairs, crutches, etc, too. A 2+-ton, 100+hp vehicle capable of going 150+mph is not the best way to transport a disabled person. It's just what we have available, given our current city layouts. We can do better.
My guess is they are slipping in under the guise of "on a molecular level we already know what all these things do in the human body and eating protein is safe" and they will argue on a molecular level yes that is just protein matter. I am undecided on the matter. I think responsible farming practices is the way to go.
Absolutism isn't an "ism" in the sense you think it is.
All I wanted was a way to safely and easily cleanup my $GOPATH. I don't have a lot disk space and $GOPATH takes up most of it.

This thing apparently doesn't solve my problem. `go mod tidy` simply removes a dependency from a module, but that dependency is still cached in a big arcane directory at $GOPATH/src/mod. Why?

I think we all should be using something like Nix for dependency management that solves all problems, but that is so hard to setup!
And how is real bacon unhealthy?
This should be upvoted more.
I mean, it's not fake meat. It's meat. Same fundamental ingredients humans have been eating since they became a species (and long before).
All* high performance hashtables use open addressing, because chaining tends to mean (multiple) indirection to addresses outside the table.

* not sure if that's literally true, but I've never seen anyone do chaining in performance-sensitive applications, and all the papers on fast hash tables use some way of open addressing.

Being for AirBnB not driving illegal behaviour != being in favour of zoning. Those two concerns are orthogonal. Empathizing with other people's legitimate issues doesn't imply being pro-zoning either.

I will never go back to wired headphones, especially on the go.

After experiencing AirPods, I will pay any amount of $ to replace them if they ever get lost. They really are that good and they’re probably the best purchase I’ve made in years.

If you go to the gym at all, they’ll be a game changer.

Let me put it this way - sometimes I completely forget they’re even in my ear.
The Rust ABI isn't fixed and it uses LLVM. That's like asking if there's hardware architectures optimized for LLVM.
It might be that I don't see how what you classify as Product A and Product B are different products. I see Product B as the monetization feature of Product A. If I "squint" I can see how they are different products but I am not convinced.
Well there's no mechanical IPD adjustment, so if you have very wide or narrow set eyes, it will not work well for you. The LCD screen don't have the deeper blacks of the OLED screens of the rift. Frame rate is less. Other than that, I think it looks good.
So facebook live streamed the video and also gives the bad guys a massive platform. Will they be banned?
So how does this degrade for bigger hash tables? Surely the two loops implementation is less efficient since your cache is trashed by the time you do the second look up
Not an expert (I just read the docs), but if you only have one binary that you ship, or all your binaries are in the same module, then it looks like a single "replace" directive will do the right thing.

If your binaries are spread across multiple modules, each one would need its own replace directives, so you'd have a bit of duplication. (But maybe this independence is good, since you can upgrade them one at a time?)

If you're publishing a library and don't control the binaries (this is something your customers build) then it looks like "replace" isn't going to work (it's under their control, so they have to do it). If you need to control the exact versions used by your library, you'll want to look into vendoring.
