>You should tell the porn industry so they adapt their business model.

Where have you been the last 50+ years? Porn has been and continues to be under constant attack by society. In the United States, even the First Amendment hasn't been as solid a defense as its wording would make it seem for pornographic works, and some states still have laws on the books banning "obscene devices" (though admittedly sex toys aren't speech)

People don't like others having sex, don't like knowing about it (unless they themselves are horny and want to see it, but heaven forbid anyone else be allowed the same privilege, which is the main reason you see so many anti-gay male politicians being caught in compromising positions with other men), and want to control everything about it.

There are two evolutionary reasons for this.

The first is pregnancy; and the difference between societies that have evolved without access to effective natural birth control and ones that have is as stark as you'd expect it to be.

The second is scarcity, which is related to the first thing (i.e. people weigh sex against major negative consequences if having sex can have major consequences), but can be slightly abated by a massive distribution network of pictures and videos of sex (while not the same thing, unlike physical hunger sexual appetite can be satisfied by the equivalent of simply looking at a picture of a tasty meal for a few minutes).

Modern society has only had 50 years with technology that does those two things reliably. Society at large just hasn't had enough time with these factors in play to loosen up, but the cracks are beginning to show.
Yes, you are correct for all the customer.checklyhq.com URLs. This everyone gets because it is part of the general wildcard SSL certificate for *.checklyhq.com.

However, customers want to have https://status.example.com for their status pages. This is why we need to provide custom SSL certificates using Lets Encrypt.
Yes, there is a contrasting dynamic of restricting/stifling speech "to promote social harmony". This is also present in the US, cf. the deplatforming movement.

My point is that a desire for free speech is not endemic to the US and framing the promotion/defence of it in other countries as referencing the US is misleading. I'm Australian and affected by this censorship. I wouldn't think to reference the US Constitution in arguing against it. When I argue for free speech I argue from principles, not from the example of another country's constitutional framework.
I have to agree. Sounds like a lot of people here like it, but I find it confusing.

One example I see on this page is "be-fore", In my head it is "be. fore." and suddenly this word seems to have a lot more emphasis than it ought to have. And I also get distracted when it's unclear if a word was intentionally hyphenated or just auto-hyphenated. Maybe just the way that some of us process text.
I think a lot more of their efforts are positive than we think--but don't make the news. It's just what's good for the Chinese government is of higher priority than what's good for the Chinese people. For something like this where they aren't in conflict they do good.
"then they should be held legally liable for illegal content"

Thanks for bringing this point.

I never suggested that they move; that would have been presumptuous. It's still a fact that their income would go farther if they had access to the wide range of shopping options to which many other Americans have access. To which I and my neighbors have access, and many of them have very low incomes. Nobody here would ever consider any zip code in NYC to have a low cost of living.

I guess I'll just be confused as to why we're so eager ITT to follow the lead of someone who admits to working for these landlords and continue to blur the distinction between "this area has a low cost of living" and "poor people live here". The words we use when discussing such issues matter, and this Overton window should go no further in this direction.
If anyone's thinking of doing this, I'd highly recommend Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut paste. I got a 10C drop in both average idle and load temps after replacing my MBP's stock paste with it, and significantly better battery life, though I don't have any hard numbers for that. This paste usually wins in benchmarks and it's only outclassed by liquid metal. It's $13 on Amazon for a gram, which was enough to do two laptops and two desktops for me.
You're right, it doesn't make sense. Just like it doesn't make sense to hold Gab.com to unreasonably high standards, while letting Twitter and Facebook get away with exactly the same things.

YouTube also left up Elliot Rodger's YouTube channel for like three years for similar reasons, until they changed their minds and took them down again.

What it looks like to me, is that they just like censoring things and throwing their weight around, and this moral grandstanding is only after the thought.

I found this article nigh impossible to get through with it's weird scrolling and transitions. I had to give up.

I listen to Video Game music while I work. Mostly via rainwave.cc [0] or OCRemix Albums [1]. It's pretty much the only non-vocal music I can tolerate for longer periods of time that don't bore me, but help me maintain focus and block out externalities.

The Final Fantasy soundtracks and their similar epic AAA games from most notably Square Enix (Xenogears, Chrono Cross/Trigger, Kingdom Hearts) as well as Nintendo (Zelda, Mario) are often heralded as some of the best. But, I find the 3 Donkey Kong Country and earlier Sonic music (the 3 Sonic Genesis titles up through Sonic Adventure and the anniversary collection) to be my absolute favorites.

There are also tons of excellent albums and chip tune on Band Camp. Way too many to list.

Rents are higher in San Francisco than they are in New York City. Moreover, most of the density in NYC is historical and it currently has a lot of the same zoning restrictions that prevent new high density housing from being built, hence rents have been on the rise. (It also has a lot of ridiculous nonsense like rent control which reduces rents for historical tenants but raises it significantly for the new ones we get our numbers from.)
I'm not even sure why these things (Taiwan, T. Square, etc.) come up during English classes for kids in the first place?

Anyways, as a hired and paid employee of VIPkid, you are required to follow their rules, like it or not. Otherwise, you can leave and teach somewhere else.

As a western European-American who has spent time residing in various Asian countries along the China<->anti-China political spectrum as well as both blue and red parts of the US, I really don't see a problem with VIPkid prohibiting discussion of culturally and politically sensitive issues in their classrooms. That's just about respect.

If you feel so strongly/morally opposed to China's actions and history, VIPkid is the wrong forum, even if you are seeking to effect change. After all, we already are in the midst of another Cold War.
Crazy right. There are very little blogs or docs written on this.

You're talking about a community of 2000 residents [1] out of over 7 million residents in the San Francisco Bay Area [2]. Do you really expect it to change the housing cost equation at all?

In a largely unregulated market land use is largely dictated by how expensive that land is. Developers don't otherwise just decide to build high rises, mid rises, townhouses or SFHs. It's why the 3-6 story condo complexes you get in, say, Santa Clara County you don't get in Manhattan.

Now obviously this is complicated by regulation, demand in different market segments, what the infrastructure can support, etc but the prices you give seem to suggest the land value is extremely high. Building low density housing on that is going to lead to really high prices.

I don't think that matters here, though I agree with what you said. There's also going to be redundancy on the other mechanisms that can lead to runaway trim, because runaway trim can be catastrophic, because we don't assume that pilots are perfect, and because (as you say) runaway trim can happen in situations where the ground will necessarily arrive before your recovery does.

I think it takes around thirty seconds for the trim motor to move you from one end (where both crashed planes had it) of the jackscrew to the other. And that's with the motor! If you cut out the motor because it was literally trying to kill you -- and as Boeing advises you to -- you'll have to use the hand crank and it will take much longer. Runaway trim at low altitude is death.

It really seems to me that the MAX as shipped was not plausibly airworthy (due to the use of a single sensor). I think even Boeing's going to agree eventually.
This is more or less correct, though the relevant scriptural passages put more shape and nuance on it.

As for why that should influence our votes for public policy, the reasoning goes that sin always brings trouble, death, and non-well-being to society, therefore influencing public policy away from sinful societal patterns and acts is one important way to love one’s neighbors, since it will result in greater well-being for them.
A couple of observations:

1) In the segmented model, the cross-segment elasticity limits the impact of high-end supply on lower-segment prices, but that applies just as much to the impact of _high-end demand_. Yet the same people who reject high-end supply as a solution are much more likely to believe in high-end demand as a cause (those damn techies pushing housing prices up!).

2) There is a significant number of singles with high-paying jobs in San Francisco who are living with roommates, in tiny studios, etc. These people who would live in much larger and better housing in any other city. Thus there is a good reason to believe that the cross-segment elasticity in San Francisco is actually quite high.

3) In general, nobody believes in Economics 101 when it comes to policy, unless it aligns with their other preferences.
You know AB&B could easily add a “report illegal renter” to flag people renting out units that don’t qualify, but they ain’t because no ones gonna drag them over the coals for that.

And why would they do it voluntarily and lose revenue? Cities and locales should _demand_ they deploy a very visible “report illegal unit” form.
Every incident I've had on a bike would have been prevented if this was the case for bike lanes in my city.

Just two days ago I had to slap a vehicle to let him know I was about to be crushed between him and parked cars, because he casually drove into the bike lane I was occupying without looking or indicating.

This would also encourage safer riding by cyclists. Last year ago I had a serious crash because of another rider cutting across lanes of traffic to get ahead of me. Riders being forced to enter the bike lane at the intersection makes them more predictable.
I was wondering the opposite direction.

If there's an FPGA, why have a general purpose CPU?
My neighbor tells me they never let their dog defecate in my yard.

Guess what? With not even that much effort I can find out that their dog is outside and unattended most of the day. (Means/Opportunity)

I can infer they don't like to leash the dog, due to the frequency the dog can be found roaming the neighborhood. (Motive)

I've seem the neighbors unattended dog defecate in other neighbors yards. (Precedent)

I've even had to walk it home a couple of times as well. (more precedent)

I COULD go through the trouble of setting up a bunch of cameras to catch it red pawed as it were, however, that's kind of a moot point, because I know the neighbor has the means, motive, opportunity, and a history of prior behavior.

This is not only a preponderance of evidence, but in the absence of someone else's dog traipsing through my property, this could even be legally considered beyond a reasonable doubt.

After reading your various replies, I just want to leave you with a word of caution: not everyone is worth trusting, even in the absence of direct proof. Especially if you can collect a preponderance of evidence that suggests that an action isn't outside their expected behavioral envelope.

The biggest problem we face isn't a problem of unreliable sources, but a crisis of ease of manufacture of the blatantly untrue combined with an asymmetrical distribution of the necessary skills/tools to refute.

We're still well equipped to deal with this type of situation, but it requires an elevated level of skepticism until we solve the problem of information provenance.

If there is one thing we have, going for us, however, it is a large store of information recorded from times before misinformation was so trivially distributed and manufactured to work from, and the wherewithal to reason from it. Trust, I think, is going to develop into a completely different beast in the 21st century from what it was in the 20th.

I just checked, and only three of the thirteen "blocked" sites are not working. Of those eztv.is appears to have a DNS problem (no A record, only an SOA record pointing at a parking address of the registrar), and traceroutes archive.is and archive.fo get as far as an address in the Netherlands, so I don't think they're blocked in NZ. ISP is 2degrees, Cloudflare DNS.

On a side-note, I'm probably now on some watch list.
I assumed the same, that is a pretty common headline used to mean something else.
And then we hear the sob story of how their own children can’t buy a house nearby and have to move far far away. Can’t have it both ways.

My theory is that this will remain the status quo in CA until the last of the baby boomers is finally eradicated. Only then can the political will to make real change be strong enough to succeed.
McConnell's office disputed Biden's account, as reported by Politico, "pointing to a letter signed by all four congressional leaders in September 2016 and sent to the president of the National Association of State Election Directors, urging cybersecurity precautions in light of reports of attempted hacking."

Comey reportedly wanted to announce the active measures in an op-ed column, as Newsweek reported in March 2017. Two sources with knowledge about the matter told Newsweek that Obama administration officials blocked the effort.

Obama should have publicized it instead of sitting on it, regardless if everyone wanted to sign on or not. Putting it all off on McConnell isn't really acceptable when you're President, but to be fair Biden pushed the blame, not Obama, Obama doesn't think he would do anything differently.

> Pyright is written in TypeScript and runs within node. It does not require a Python environment or imported third-party packages to be installed.

I know which of those environments I would prefer... it's not node. It makes total sense for VS Code though, so fair enough.
I could see this being nice if you work within VSCode, have to juggle many Python versions, and already have Node installed, but I've personally had no issues with speed or configurability with mypy and pyenv. I think it's an interesting project, but probably half-baked at this point.

The only reason a SCO investigation was pushed for in this case is because the media stoked for it.

It's a solved problem for simple text, but a while ago someone on HN pointed out that (1) with other CSS layout features it has become an NP-complete problem; (2) even just for simple text, sophisticated line breaking algorithms usually have time complexities quadratic in the length of text and cannot be as fast as simple greedy which is linear, and the web is full of people eager to take advantage of this by sending your browser a huge paragraph and locking up your browser.
True, although even mobile screens can hold pretty dense blocks of text.
So homosexuals like having sex with females?

Is it ok to assume this about a homosexual person? I think not.

So this article does nothing but prove bi-sexuality might exist in the animal kingdom. You'd have to prove the giraffes know the difference between male giraffes and female giraffes.

When animals have sex with dead animals are the necrophilic or confused?

iA Writer is so much better than other minimal, writer-focused apps it’s an indictment of this list that it’s not on here. Markdown means you have a forever file format that’s exportable.

My only real complaint is that it doesn’t have some more robust manuscript compile features.

All in all, one of if not the best app purchase I’ve made in years.
Windows PowerShell is also smooth as butter. After using it for a bit going back to macos or linux terminals feels sluggish.
The shooter's video is pretty weak sauce, compared to ISIS propaganda. It's a really bad look for him and his ideology, even, I imagine, for people who glory in violence. Who imagines that shooting a women in the back of the head as she's lying in the gutter crying for help will cast anything associated with the shooter in a good light?
And that makes all the new people better off. But we can measure this effect and I recall the city economist found every 3٪ increase in housing stock dropped rents 1%.

> So...either we stop using intensive agg practices and our global food production goes down and we starve, or we kill all the bugs and the food web collapses.

I don't think those are the only two options. There are better farming practices (read up on no-till, see here for example: https://www.usda.gov/media/blog/2017/11/30/saving-money-time...) that require much lower inputs (fertilizer, pesticides, water) than conventional farming techniques.

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-till_farming#Profit,_econom...) also notes that because the soil retains water better and is more fertile in general, a farmer may have the option to plant a new crop immediately after a harvest instead of leaving a field fallow.

There are many other benefits (read the Wikipedia article!) that could make a huge impact in both wildlife conservation and fighting global warming, were we to convert wholesale to no-till (or similarly restorative techniques).

The problem, of course, is that we have massive political dysfunction which leads to policy paralysis. How do you fight global warming when what is currently the most powerful political party in the world (it hurts me to type that ) refuses to acknowledge that anything needs to (or can) be done about it?
Have you seen the movie Dave from the 1990s about a guy who looks like the President and ends up being the stand-in for the President when he has a stroke? He runs a staffing agency who helps people down on their luck get jobs. Anyways, your thread title made me think of that.

I would say instead of just giving away the $$ to charity, why don't you put it towards helping low-income people have career advancement, or training homeless vets, or ex-cons?
Well Boeing wanted it just as much. If you need to retrain all your pilots anyway, Airbus becomes much more competitive.
Why not convert to integer (saving residuals), computing mean of integers via long division and adding means of residuals (arbitrary precision sum)?
Actually the author is more nuanced than saying to build "some" luxury housing.

NYC is a special case all of its own with a bunch of factors specific to it. I'd say the biggest are:

1. Construction costs are so high that it's largely the same cost to build luxury condos than mid-priced condos

2. It's more profitable to build luxury condos, at leas tin Manhattan.

3. Globalization of property markets and the rise of the ultra-wealthy mean that a lot of real estate is just the ultra-wealthy parking money in homes they might visit for 2-3 days a year if at all. That's not just foreign money either (although Chinese, Arabians and especially Russian money seeking refuge in real estate in the developed world is obviously a factor). Steve Jobs owned one of the penthouses in the San Remo building on Central Park West for 20 years before selling it to Bono (or U2), having never set foot in it.

3. Bloomberg's "attract the billionaires" mantra mean that luxury condos, even after property tax abatements end, are the lowest in the city as a percentage of property value. This makes parking money in NYC more attractive.

4. The skyrocketing cost of insurance of construction projects [1].

Outside of urban areas or even just urban centers....I don't think it really is a big topic.
Fair enough, but Amsterdam originally loved bikes. From your link:

>At the start of the 20th century, bikes far outnumbered cars in Dutch cities and the bicycle was considered a respectable mode of transport for men and women.

I don't believe this was ever the case in a major US city.

Nonetheless, the activism bit is news for me so thanks for sharing. I'd still argue, though, that the activism is largely due to the fact that that there was a history of bikes before cars.
I am also a woman and feel similarly, although it didn't deter me from working in the industry (or at least adjacent to it).
Why? Both competitors have put new engines on old frames. Boeing has the MAX; Airbus has the A320neo. As far I can tell, the two planes are comparable.

Also, there's already a 737-700, 737-800, 737-900.
You're drawing a disproportionately weighted link between high property values and the low taxes of past property owners, it's just not there.

This is a problem in the especially desirable pockets of California, and people don't want to give up a good thing once they've got it, especially when it's increasingly scarce due to the low rates of residential development.

You wouldn't have fixed the housing shortage by raising taxes, you'd just have accelerated the concentration of wealth displacing people who luckily got to live out their lives in a place they could no longer really afford to compete in.

It would still be exorbitantly expensive IMHO.
