There are clearly using that title for some reason. Whether they are qualified as a lawyer with expertise in the matters at hand, is another question.
Seems somewhat more likely that this would do harm compared to astrology. There's a very real possibility that someone who doesn't know any better might take the concrete advice of the app. Most astrology apps aren't very specific about what they recommend you doing, and don't tend to recommend things that are clearly bad advice for everyone.
That works better in a place where people can reliably and cheaply take trains from A to B.

The people arguing with you that they need to fly are almost certainly in places like the US, where even local trains are a pretty terrible, expensive experience relative to flying (or driving, on the shorter end).

I'm 90% of an anti-car zealot that lives in the densest city in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the US. I would love to be able to reasonably take a train when I travel, but the ticket prices are astronomical and the reliability is horrendous relative to buses, airplanes or driving costs.

What does that have to do with conversion therapy?

Are you connecting homosexuality to pedophilia?
I couldn’t as a kid but I can now. Not sure why. And unrelated: I still can’t whistle properly.
I'm probably as leftist as you can be (and agnostic)... but this trend is a bit ridiculous. Some in the left are becoming as intellectually dishonest as some in the right/conservative side.

You may dislike religious doctrine, but this is the type of argument that keeps "adult content" and similar "for the good of the children" apps away from the apple store.

You can be both PRO LGBT rights, and also PRO people can hold differing opinions. Policing morality is bad for both the religious AND the marginalized.

I am strongly opposed to neighborhoods built around cars. And I definitely think it's far better if basic needs are closer than one mile but…

> In cold conditions, walking a mile is terrible.

Or you can just be decently prepared and have warm clothing. If you go faster, you stay warmer. That said, I'll admit that I go on less mile+ walks when the weather is rougher (although I do have Raynaud syndrome).

> You shouldn't be needing to cross many intersections just to go shopping

What we want is to avoid crossing traffic. The number of intersections isn't really the issue. In places like Portland where the street grid makes for tiny blocks, it's not a big deal that you may cross 10 intersections when you go just a half mile, as long as it's the tiny streets where cars have to pull over just to let another car go the other way and traffic is really slow.

I otherwise really agree with all the gist of your comment. Car-focused living is the source of probably the majority of all the ills in our modern life. It's anti-social (people don't see neighbors and run into friends on the street), it's dangerous, it creates unsustainable development patterns, and it's destroyed huge portions of our natural environment even leaving aside all the pollution and the costs of SO much paved roads and parking lots…
Declaring yourself as 'Liberal' is a way to identify yourself as someone who believes in a series of popularized beliefs held by the American Left (in this context I think it is a US-centric topic). In Silicon Valley these beliefs are extremely popular thus there is a large benefit for a company or individual to project themselves as a strong member of the group. What we are seeing is a rational judgement by Google which goes against the mainstay belief of American Liberals that anything but encouragement of LGBT is evil and is a harbinger back to recent US history where LGBT individuals were repressed and actively persecuted.

I'm strongly against conversion therapy but if the facts I'm seeing are true I believe Google made the right decision because this app does not repress or actively persecute LGBT individuals.

Also for what it's worth, though it shouldn't matter, I am a liberal.

That's a pretty cynical attitude you have there. You should try listening to all of the acapella recordings of Brittany Spears, or all of the videos of her singing and performing as a child.

As a child who was forced to play piano (and other instruments), in my opinion, you cannot force a child to become a "Brittany Spears," they have to want it too, or they will never perform and work hard enough to make it.

Brittany Spears, whatever you think of her, clearly loves singing and performing. The fact that you have this attitude either shows you have zero understanding of human nature or just are a very negative and cynical person. Either way, it's a sucky attitude.

You can have it back: simply turn off and don't use these things. Will life be less convenient? Yeah, probably, but do you value your convenience more than the negatives? If so, it seems unreasonable of you to make demands.

At the point that someone tries to block them from being distributed across public infrastructure like the internet.

As long as we're talking about Google's app store, we're limited to talking about Google's terms of service and the relative pressure from the outside groups to force them to either keep/remove the app or suffer bad PR from said groups.
I think LGBT deconversion programs are a form of violence.

Imagine being forced to go through a "introvert deconversion" program where you have to read essays and do exercises that are designed to "help" you become an extrovert and shed your "shameful" and "perverted" introvert ways. LGBT deconversion is a far worse version of this.

> Not if it's voluntary and desired by the person undergoing conversion

Citation needed. LGBT+ people who seek conversion therapy can still be hurt by it.

> Otherwise there is no hope for pedophiles wishing to rid themselves of their attraction to children

Bringing up pedophelia in the context of LGBT+ people has a long history of being used to other and shame LGBT+ people. I'd encourage you to find a different example (or just stay on topic -- conversion therapy for LGBT+ people.)

Bangalore Used to Be Cool
I'd like to put this out there. Bengaluru used to be cool, literally, I've heard. Areas near Agara village and Agara lake used to be a cool place. Like 10 years back you couldn't even walk out in summer afternoon without wearing a jacket. It was that cool. Okay maybe not that cool but still. Now let's just not wander off making claims. Sure I've been here only for one and a half years but this is something I've heard multiple people saying. I'd like to conduct a research on climate change and its effects on different areas of Bengaluru. Whats your opinion about this? How much time do you think we have until climate change becomes irreversible?

I've been meaning to get into julia for quite some time, but I always feel like the community is always like, "this version still needs X, when that comes out, it'll be ready." Is this it? I guess if I had applied that logic to anything else I would never have started on those either. Meh, maybe it's just me.
At least in the US, I think it's the combination of cheap airfares + the tracks being owned by freight companies, so there's not a ton of profit incentive to make it better and attract more riders.

I assume Canada has a similar history/present.
Pedophilia != LGBT identities

If someone is truly trying to rid themselves of an attraction to children, they should probably be in therapy.

>At what point do these type of restrictions affect peoples' freedom of religion?

At the point they don't have any other options. They can teach their conversion therapy in person if they want. They can make websites. They can send out newsletters. They can write books. Why should Google, Apple, MS, or anyone else be forced to host this app? It's clear that the "community standards" don't allow for apps like this, because 139k people want it out and ~20 want the app to stay.

Oh yeah, but Intel hasn't published Gen11 details yet.

Emphasis on "yet". Gen11 is still unreleased. This higher-level document is a good start to anyone curious about the next-generation platform, but its still too high level for anyone who is actually working on Intel iGPU shaders or code.

I'm pretty confident that Intel will eventually release more details on Gen11 as it comes out. Ideally, they will publish all the Gen11 features before the hardware is released.
I thought about it too, and it is not an uncommon theory.

The issue I have with it is that you are essentially plotting an inverse function and it breaks down at age zero.

You can use tricks like quantization (a common one: you only consider whole years), add some constant, etc... but then, it stops being an simple and elegant idea.

Now I think the passage of time is complex and messy subject. We have things our body can use as time bases: heartbeat, brain waves, the laws of motion, day/night cycle, winter/summer cycle, music / rhythmic sounds, the amount of data we have as we recall past events, etc... It can't be simple. The paper points out one factor: the fact that our body functions slow down as we age, but it can't be the only reason.
You can be against what someone is saying and for someone being able to say it.

I think that's lost on a lot of people, I'm glad you point this out.

A lack of precision is not the problem. The problem is that at some point the game logic makes a decision such as whether a bullet hit a target, whether a player made a jump, or many others.

These decisions sometimes end up right on a cusp, where a single unit in the last place determines the behavior. In a sensitive physics engine these happen more often than you might think. And when the result changes, all future events are impacted.

This is crucial for replays, it may be crucial for multiplayer, and it can result in unexpected behavior in ways that you only find when writing an emulator.

A slight change in floating-point math may also result in a slightly larger-than-expected number which may then result in a slightly negative number which may result in a NaN (sqrt(-1e39) perhaps) which then results in the poisoning of all future math that uses that number.
> They literally control big parts of the medium for the general public

Conversion therapy is not for the "general public." It's an anti-science and extremist form of homophobia with potentially serious consequences for the victims. And honestly, that's a charitable interpretation.

Honestly this is the exact sort of shit that should be pulled by any company with a backbone.
I have to say I like this - great design, easy to operate, etc.

I think something needs to be done to better indicate "other wheel selections" (ie - to move to "square" or "analogous", etc) - while I discovered it fairly quickly, it wasn't as intuitive as I think it could have been.

Beyond that it's a great tool, and the pricing for the more advanced version is decent. That said, it wouldn't take much for someone to build something like this into say, a VSCode plugin or whatnot, so I'm curious what your plans are to stay ahead of that possibility?

Ugh...it seems that no one in the media actually understands what MMT is saying and what's underpinning it.

http://www.levyinstitute.org/publications/modern-money-theor...

MMT isn't actually proposing anything, but rather is simply explaining how money in the modern economy of a country like America, who's currency is a fiat currency and effectively underpins the currencies of many other much smaller economies, behaves. That's all it does.

In essence, conclusions can be drawn about government debt from this. Politicians are doing this. MMT scholars and economists happen to agree with them because of what MMT shows. Scientifically or rather economically, MMT isn't much different from something like the Credit Theory of Money, in that all it's attempting to do is explain the real behavior of money as opposed to the fiction we create about money in order for our society to function.

MMT does develop this idea of a deficit dove vs. deficit owl, which is where all of this comes from. If you read the article I linked above, you'll see that MMT is mostly focused on deficit spending during a recession.
Even if the company did sell, it could be at a fire sale price and you could be inline to get paid after investors, founders, etc. IIRC, the term is Liquidation Preference. I held options for about 0.5% of my company when it was sold. They were worth $0 due to such preferences.
"println debugging" is a tried and true strategy. Debuggers' firehose of information can start to get really hairy when you have multiple threads of execution, for example. "println debugging" (if you have the right tools) can get you 98% of the way there and show you exactly only the relevant information.
We are really comparing "50-year-old's current experience" against "50-year-old's memory of 5-year-old's experience". So I've never been sure frame of reference mattered.

Instead, I've always suspected it is novelty and memory. To a 5-year-old almost everything is new and novel, and his memory is absorbing absurd amounts of information each day. If he finds, say, a bottle opener and has never seen one before, it might fascinate him. He might spend 30 minutes just playing with it, turning it in his hand, pondering what it is for, etc. Then he'll remember all the little lessons he learned from it. (He might even think more about it later.)

You, on the other hand, have seen so many bottle openers that you've got a sort of platonic ideal of it inside your mind. You see it and don't even have to consciously think about it. You might not even remember later that you saw it, where you saw it, what color it was, or anything about it.

So my take has always been along the lines that a 5-year-old's experience is filled with brand new interactions with the world, so each day in memory is 'bigger'. We older folks have been there, done that, so the list of things we find important enough to remember is a lot smaller. Most of our "time" is just gone.
I wonder how likely it is that the reversal happened because a Google employee reads HN and saw the community backlash.
That's not quite right, in my opinion. In a past life I was an (applied) research mathematician, but started off fairly pure.

Wearing both hats you can find yourself creating new mathematics, but there is a difference in why you are doing it, and what you consider progress to mean.
The remastered TNG box sets kept the same 4:3 aspect ratio as the original standard definition.

Some TV networks have aired a 16:9 version of TNG (as well as an upscaled Voyager and DS9) but they just zoomed and cropped. There wasn't anything smart going on.
I disagree. This is sort of like saying it’s fine to build a restaurant with two large rooms, one that has cigarette smoke piped into it, and one with fresh, clean air. You can sit in the smoke filled room for no additional charge, but you have to sign up for a subscription plan with that restaurant to be allowed in the clean air room.

Now imagine that every restaurant does this. And your grocery store, doctor’s office, airplane seat and place of worship too. To escape it, you’d literally have to become an alienating, dysfunctional hermit disavowed of all kinds of modern standards of living, hypervigilant with every place you visit.

So it is with ads. Nine times out of ten, there is not even any option you can pay for that is truly ad free. Even full paying subscribers are subjected to ads and have their data and consumption habits tracked to build better ad bidding techniques or demographic profiles.

Ads are essentially always a toxic psychological substance, and especially so when their injection into your life is nearly impossible to fully comprehend and relies on personal data about you that is sprawling, with huge companies and teams of engineers designing ways to defeat any expected privacy you might have believed you’re entitled to. Tracking pixels, cookies, browser fingerprinting, data bartering, location tracking SDKs, etc.

There’s an aspect of this where we simply need to legislate away hyper-targeted and constant, pervasive advertising, just like we would have a public health outcry if a restaurant tried to create a room artificially filled with cigarette smoke.

Ads are truly not different. They are a psychological carcinogen and people should have a natural right to avoid being subjected to them while conducting everyday modern life activities. We should disallow the possibility that the only way to avoid an ad is to avoid the content / pay a rent-seeking additional fee for ad-free access, etc. It’s not acceptable to inject a harmful substance into a product and then argue customers are free to not consume it or pay extra for the harmful substance to be removed.

Ads should not be viewed as a logically possible monetization instrument for reasons of sheer public health.

If this means many types of businesses fold because they were only sustainable if they monetized the injection of harmful substances into their customers’ lives, then let them fold. It means they do not provide compelling enough products or services to be justified by the marketplace, and are propped up by a philistine ethical abyss in our modern economy that tries to convince people it’s above board to make money from injecting harmful substances into customers’ lives or charging a premium to avoid the harmful substance.

We wouldn’t allow businesses to monetize based on injecting cigarette smoke into customers’ lives (not even if the mostly uninformed customers claimed to be OK with it). It’s frankly no different with ads.
