> Normally UBI is considered to be sort of a truce between the left and the right.

No, it's not, or at least not by most people who back UBI. There are people who back forms of it on the Left, and people who back forms of it on the Right, and, sure, it's conceivable that one way it might pass is an alliance between those two that involves some compromise, but it's just as plausible that it would get implemented, if at all, by a Right- or Left-leaning governing coalition in a compromise between UBI-favoring elements and others from the same side of the spectrum.
I think you’ve got the right use case. Personally I’ve never found NoSQL to be superior, or even equal, to relational databases for general product development, but with Mongo’s recent improvements (fixing the data loss bugs, adding multidoc TXs), it’s become a pretty good platform for consuming system-of-record data and making it rapidly available. Great for customer 360 or CDP scenarios where you need to rapidly analyze personalization or segmentation data and act on it.

>all hate

This is the problem with this type of censorship, who get's to decide what is defined as "hate" speech. Facebook, who is run by it's own set of individuals with their own set of beliefs. It is their platform, their servers, they can do what they want, but Facebook as a company should not be defining what constitutes "hate" because we obviously have a stratification of morals in this country and what could be considered hate to one person could be considered perfectly charitable to another.
We're working on that, too :) See this post from last Fall where we laid out a way to think about where WebAssembly is going, which use cases to enable, and how:

Too little, too late.

Brexit is around the corner spiraling Britain down to chaos not seen for a hundred years. America is hurting its closest allies with a joker that pathetic dictators love to watch. Meh. Anonymity is still very important for the web. Until FB moves away from the 'face' part of their book, it's a terrible outcome for the Internet any day even with all kinds of curation that they are announcing now. Anonymity = Free speech.
I think you've misunderstood what's changing here. It's not a matter of time zones not knowing that rules vary across time. It's a matter of knowing that "the rules for 2022" vary over time as well - in that the rules I might predict for 2022 may well not be the case now.

"Time zone history" (in every platform I've seen) does not mean "knowing what the rules for 2022 were in 2019". They mean "getting things right according to all the currently-known rules, across all of history". That's very different.
It's actually not on the rise at all, in fact it is down; just like crime across the board is down. We live in arguably the most peaceful and tolerant time in human history. The number of "hate crimes" in FBI stats is up, but those numbers are often misleading. The only place I actually see a slight resurgence is actually in Europe, and it's largely a backlash against the Syrian immigration crisis...which will generally resolve itself as people move back now that the war is over.

China is...a different story, largely because Chinese culture treats rights in a much different light than the West. That being said, if you compare modern China to China of the 70s or 80s, it is vastly better.
From the example dialog, NVC seems to my ears as extremely patronizing.
He didn't destroy them out of malice. He destroyed them because (from his point of view) they were about to be compromised. If users trust the key because they trust updates coming from Daniel and if Daniel is about to lose control of the key to someone else, then destroying the key before it becomes compromised is the responsible and right thing to do.
Ask HN: As a startup, where do you find freelance developers these days?
How can I become less self-conscious at work?
Recently I've noticed that I'm extremely self-conscious, to the point where I am doubting myself before speaking at meetings or team events. In private, however, I am very confident in my abilities, intellect, value, etc, and it shows in my performance reviews. But for some reason, that confidence isn't translating when working with others. In fact, it seems to be making it worse. I am highly confident when working alone and terribly lacking in confidence when doing anything with more than a few people. Anyone else struggle with this or have any ideas how I can become more relaxed in group settings?
I'd say it's more like being brown in the US and trying to advance into C-level roles ... possible, but you may encounter resistance depending on the company and region.
So true, I can see that point, thanks.
So if I follow you, the argument is that the new built-in keyboards are great because you don't use them, and you find the idea that people would want to be able to type for extended periods on their portable computer "beyond you"?

If I wanted a big mechanical keyboard on my desk at home and a nearly unusable keyboard when I'm elsewhere, I'd get an iPad and a desktop. I want a laptop.
At Google I made around that my first year as a new grad (total comp, not salary) and far more than that in following years (again, total comp).

THANK YOU! That was helpful to read.

This is my favorite bit, from right at the top:
"Hate speech in the United States is not regulated, in contrast to that of most other liberal democracies.[1] The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that hate speech is legally protected free speech under the First Amendment. The most recent Supreme Court case on the issue was in 2017, when the justices unanimously reaffirmed that there is effectively no "hate speech" exception to the free speech rights protected by the First Amendment."
I fully support scrubbing hateful content from any place where it appears.

I think people should take note though, that this is the exact point in time when the machinery for censoring and filtering the internet is being implemented. Although hateful speech is a great use case for this technology I can't help but wonder what it will get pointed at next. This isn't the kind of development that can sit back idly after performing its primary function.
This has been studied with pornography and sex crimes and it seems like there are two main findings.

People who consume more pornography and more violent pornography tend to be more violent people.

And when societies are exposed to more pornography the number of sex crimes stays the same or drops.

I mean, it's true. (Norway, though)

The Nordic countries are probably the best places in the world to be average or below, but I'm willing to claim that the US is better for the top 10%.
How to Make Deep Learning Models That Don’t Suck
Five Reasons to Sell End-to-End Products in Early Markets
This is a common argument (bordering on memetic and cached) and well, the budget for ISRO is about 170M USD, rounding up and considering steady increases lately. That 1:9 compared to recent outlay for just healthcare in the budget, after some basic googling. And strategically, India’s historically wanted increased self-sufficiency after the colonial era, and you need deterrence and military power to protect your own interests. So, it seems to just follow from basic needs and doesn’t seem to be out of whack. ISRO handles a ton of commercial launches too, and space industry is growing more and more — makes economic sense to continue to compete and iterate.
They did. They just said before this, they considered white nationalism and white supremacy as different. Now it isn't
It's interesting to me that most comments are confusing Deep Learning with the whole field of AI in general, when it is actually a subset of Machine Learning.

That office plan, and 'Library Rules', are particularly stupid in a world of lack of thought. That is, it's worse than just not thinking about it at all.

3-5 people in the office at any given day? Just build offices, christ.

One of the founders must have had a particular itch to scratch is all, and it has cost the company money so that they could have the worst of all worlds

The 'Library Rules' are dumb because one of the prime reasons you need to make noise in an open office is to share a screen with someone, as you collaborate or problem solve or whatever. This is hard to do if you have to move to a quiet room because you can't move your monitor setup with you, or have the comfort and access of the things at your desk.

Even non-code discussions are easier at your own desk, with kbd and mouse for notes vs laptop and trackpad.

Not being able to talk above a whisper, or at all, at your own desk is a disaster.
A lot of lawsuits are filed without the plaintiff being able to prove their claims.

Even as I speak, a California House Rep (Nunes) is suing a non-existent creature for social media defamation. Nunes cannot prove his claims.

Hell, we have an entire class of laws (anti-SLAPP laws) which exist penalize nuisance lawsuits filed for the sole purpose of silencing or harassing defendants.
The federal government could set certain minimum standards for voting machines used in federal elections. That would effectively set the standard for all elections since I can't imagine any local governments could justify a set of machines for federal elections and a different set for local.
White nationalism isn't even remotely like ISIS propaganda. I am no fan of that ideology for sure but it's actually about something very different than most people think and most people haven't actually spent the time understanding their argument before they form an opinion about it.

Edit: Find it pretty crazy that this can't even be discussed without people accusing me of all sorts of things.
Interesting that this study accounted for regional differences between prostitution legalization regimes, definitely something that needs to be considered considering these kind of markets do not exist in a borderless vacuum.

Have to wonder if the scale effect dominating the substitution effect hints that perhaps the Swedish model is optimal for reducing trafficking wholesale while reducing harm (i.e. Johns need strong disincentives in order to not be terribly indifferent people in aggregate) They suggest that the Swedish model reduces the scale effect but not enough data to say if it increases the substitution effect.
Reddit still allows white supremacists and other assorted awful things to go through their platform.
I did, this is so selectively enforced its comical. That's my point.
Except they are not censored. If these groups feel like they want to espouse these dangerous ideas they still can. They don't need Facebook to do and the rest of us can ignore them. But at the moment Facebook's and Youtube's algorithms put some of this crap front and center in your browser. To the unsuspecting this can seem like validating and endorsing those ideas.
> Why is it important to accommodate people who might want to move to an area?

They're going to move there anyway. Making it more difficult and expensive won't stop them, as the example of SF shows. Accomodating them, then, is about mitigating the negative effects of immigration on residents and welcoming your new neighbors.

You make this just about greed when it's also about toil. Nobody likes dealing with the filth that some people share. The armies of content moderators that have to deal with it don't have happy jobs.

This is a category of labor that formerly wasn't necessary, and yet somehow now it is. Why is that? How can we make it go away?

Perhaps the monetary incentives will provide motivation to solve it.

I don't know why they wrote it themselves, but if they don't want to use third party code, implementing OCB is faaaaaaaar simpler than implementing GCM or just about any other AEAD. But I suspect ChaCha20 would be a better fit since a stream cipher is a good fit for streaming audio.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to get into the mainframe business. Kind of like getting into piloting a passenger jet. You can't pilot a passenger jet without a few hundred hours of flight time on a jet aircraft.

You can't just buy a used one and fly around on your own. So you hope someone who owns a jet will lug you around until you become competent and certified.

Also consider the amounts paid. Programmer time does costs, so not only did they get bad programmers, good programmers don't work that cheap.

But they were not paying the time that even bad-medium programmer would need to do testing/research to improve their programs.

Just for my own personal stuff I will spend weeks getting in right, profile the code, checking behavior for a range of unlikely inputs, and do web search to see how others did the same type of program and if they have better ideas than me.

For a 100-200 Euro payment I don't see how you could make money if you did all that. You get what you pay for.

PS. Plain text and Base64! I did not know they were that bad, I learnt not to do that years ago as a teenager running a BBS on a C64.
While both recognize most of the same licenses, "open source" licenses are licenses like APL, MPL, MIT, BSD and friends, licenses which give maximum freedoms, while "free software" licenses like GPL, EUPL and AGPL attempt to maximize user freedoms.

There is a difference between those two and there are definitely communities that prefer one over the other.

I find it silly to yell "but they recognize the same licenses" when that isn't what it's about at all...

"Speech that harms people" and "speech that hurt people's feelings" are so closely related and sometimes people (intentionally or unintentionally) mix them up.

I imagine that's because it's sometimes subjective and difficult to define. We tend to focus on the obvious cases, but not all of them are. What about the discussion of e.g. race and it's correlation to IQ? How about discussion of trans issues and viewpoints which contradict what trans activists want to hear? Are we allowed to talk about biological differences between men and women which some find offensive?

They are all valid topics to discuss civilly, but some believe that even having a discussion is racist/homophobic/sexist. My fear is that it will move beyond what we've legally defined as hate speech and into "don't hurt people's feelings" territory.
It's a surprisingly comforting response. This ends with decentralization. Let's force all platforms to ban anything even mildly offensive.
Thinkpad T480
I am very much pro free speech. In the sense of nothing should be disallowed. I think platforms should be built in a way that there really cannot arise an ultra-(right/left/X) bubble. Facebook should build mechanisms like they can be found here on HN. If I would write something really offensive I'd get downvoted and eventually my post would vanish. That feedback by the community is extremely important, because I get to learn what goes and what not. Just deleting unwanted opinions makes things worse. People build up aggression against "the system" and feel censored by the wrong mechanisms. If I, however, see that the majority dislikes my opinions I know where the problem is.
Training deep learning models can be tough. They don't work without the right hyperparameters. The interactive blog gives an explanation of the algorithms that can automate the hyperparameter search and has all the code you need to try it out for yourself.
I don't understand your position. The 1A is fulfilled—in word and spirit—to your satisfaction so long as government puts up no barriers to speech, even if private, quasi-monopolistic firms filter speech to their own ends?
I have genuine concerns about civil liberties, but as others noted, there's a difference between using the power of government to prevent speech and a company refusing to provide a megaphone.
That's no less ridiculous. If it's a public object, I should always be able to take a picture of it and profit off of it. Doesn't matter if I'm a little guy or Getty Images.
I suspect there is some value in pushing such content off of large sites to reduce the surface area available for recruitment.

I used to think that pushing such content off a site or forum was futile and calling it for what it is on a site had value, I'm not sure that is the case anymore.

If you look on platforms like reddit and such where you have groups in subreddits calling for race wars, general hatred, and violence and of course the lesser efforts to just normalize hate takes place... there's no discussion anyway. In their own subs any hint of anything less than absolute commitment to their talking points of the day, ever changing theories, and general hatred is an instant ban from their subreddit(s). Then they venture out spam their fake news articles / take over other subs and push their message with endless streams of new accounts. There is no discussion, just constant spam, memes and etc.

We've seen topics like Gamergate, incels and such (while not that tasteful to begin with) quickly pulled to the extreme and go from something about "gaming journalism" or general angst to an identity movement steeped in fear / hate, harassment, and for some actual violence.

I suspect there may be some value in ushering these people away, if only to prevent recruitment of some others who otherwise might avoid their message that fear or dissatisfaction with life and other problems can be explained with hate.
Facebook certainly did not invent the idea of protected classes, USGOVT and tons of news/social companies all use the exact same notion when determining what constitutes illegal discrimination and disallowed hate speech.
The Other Reasons People Don't Get Vaccines
The problem is that an open environment cannot work when there are bad faith interlocutors actively seeking to undermine that open environment. There's a famous Sartre quote that deals with the paradox of tolerance in regards to anti-semites.
More cons: you're directly supporting a surveillance state that has no regard for human rights, that is engaged with concentration camps and medical genocide, and that won't hesitate a second to kick you out of the country and ban you from entry without telling you why or for how long, likely resulting in you losing any type of investment (relationship/financial/etc). It doesn't matter if you've been a good citizen for many years, and you have no way of appealing the decision. If you end up in a relationship with a Chinese citizen then you also risk (s)he won't be allowed to go abroad to a Western country (quite common for those who don't belong to the higher class). You'll also be denied entry at most hotels that aren't 4-5 star because they don't allow foreigners, and the same goes for apartments. If you try to stay at a friends apartment then you risk the landlord calling your friend to say foreigners arent allowed to stay there. I tend to stay at relatively cheap hotels (often the cheapest I can find), in China I'd get denied by 9/10, in any other country I've not once been denied. Trying to rent an apartment in China without going through an agency that have a "Green Book" will result in similar odds.

Do yourself a favour and go to any other Asian country where you won't be supporting modern day Nazis, and where you won't be treated as dirt by the government. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, etc. are all great options that will most likely give you a better experience.

Curious that a post about eliminating white nationalist content actually includes an image with white nationalist content.

https://imgur.com/a/fSm1pHa

It's perhaps an unintentional example of the difference between advocacy (banned) and education or discussion (not banned).

Very interested in how Facebook will distinguish between them when both use identical words.
Why not ban all racist nationalism entirely? What is unique about white nationalism versus Chinese nationalism in China, or black nationalism in South Africa? There are many racist movements all around the world.

Only banning white nationalism is giving fuel to the white nationalist belief that whites are being unfairly targeted. That's not something we should encourage IMO.
CentOS 7 / Gnome-Shell
I guess you must have brushed over the part where it says:

> Our policies have long prohibited hateful treatment of people based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity or religion – and that has always included white supremacy. We didn’t originally apply the same rationale to expressions of white nationalism and separatism because we were thinking about broader concepts of nationalism and separatism – things like American pride and Basque separatism, which are an important part of people’s identity.

Very specifically, it points out that they are not just "doing one", they are bringing one in line with a broader policy that is applied to many different types of hate. So I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make.
