This is a thread about Facebook, isn't it? And the parent,m or GP by now, very much alludes to it, or platforms in general.

In the bakeshop case though, I do not think it has ever been alleged, that they ever refused to serve anyone cakes just for being gay. I think the whole case hinged on the question whether making a wedding cake is significantly more than just selling a cake off the shelf to anyone who comes in (I am really not sure if, as a matter of principle, private entities in a free society should be compelled to do business with anyone they do not want to, be that marrying gays or cynical coders who go by "Fins" though). So no,I don't think saying that they "refuse to serve gays" is a proper characterization.
In principle, I am opposed. I don't think hiding unwanted dialogue is very helpful in the long run. It just makes it fester somewhere else that isn't as visible. If Facebook feels they have to do something about it, then I'd suggest just flagging it. That gives people more information that they can use how ever they see fit. There is also the thought of collateral damage, like your friend ran into.

I also oppose it on general grounds in that I'm a big proponent of freedom of expression. Facebook can do what they want, we're not talking about the government here and I understand that, but I would rather they didn't go this route. I don't want to live in a society where what can and can't be said is strictly regulated either by force or by general consent. I seem to be one of the few that feels that way, though, any more.

There is also the practical concern of what happens if the ideas of what is acceptable and what isn't changes over time? Who knows which opinions that you hold now might become anathema at a later date. For example, the opinion I'm expressing now used to be a lot more common than it is today.
"White" isn't an ethnicity. It's not a culture.

Irish, German, Roma, Italian, Russian, are all ethnicities. All of them have particularly Irish, German, Roma, etc cultures. But there is no shared "White" culture.

White nationalism defines itself not by a shared ethnicity or culture, but by making it crystal-clear who it excludes. A white nationalist can't tell you what being white actually means - but he can tell you exactly who isn't.
I think a year is usually a cutoff for sentencing rules.

For instance, in many places if you serve less than a year you are places in jail, rather than prison. (It is distinctly better to be in prison rather than jail in most cases.) I know in my State there are a lot of other rules that are different if your sentence is over a year or not, but I don't know what rules would be applicable in this case.
I don't know if the suit has merit but I was pretty amazed at the stuff IBM wanted me to sign when I left. There is a saying that every clause in a contract tells a story, well there were a lot of stories in my separation agreement :-). Comparing it to the agreement I signed when I left Google it was clear that over its lifetime, IBM has been sued a lot. :-)
Haven't looked at the other implementations yet but with wireguard-go I've been struggling to run it as non root on OpenBSD.

I've created a _wireguard user+group, setup a /dev/tun0 interface to have the _wireguard group with read/write however from the little tracing i've done it looks like I still need root when it tries to do the unix sys call to set the MTU.
Aww, Watch 4; I still love my Watch 2 though, any alternative app to replace it?
This seems to be a contextual bandit where the previous reward is included in the context.

Congratulations on your achievement ! Do you have your content on Bandcamp ?

Have you heard of the term donkey voting? null votes in Australia are about 5% of total votes (federally)

Also it's only sorta compulsory in a sense, you can just never register and never have to vote. but if you do register you will get fined if you don't vote. the amount of unregistered voters is about 4% of the population. so at it's worst it's atleast more representative then some other democracies.

Cingular was the cellular carrier that signed the contract to be the exclusive carrier for the iPhone, in something like January 2007.

In 1993 I was carrying a bag phone. For millennials it was the size of a woman's purse and had an external antenna.

But by 2001 or so I had a Palm Phone. It was essentially a smart phone but it lacked color, weighed five pounds, you needed a stylus and there was no app store. My non-tech friends who didn't see the value of the web when I showed it to them in 1994 just laughed at me. They told me with complete wonderment, why would anyone ever want the internet in their pocket?

But the same mainframe execs who never saw either the mini or microcomputer coming also never thought that trend would continue.

> If you feel too energetic to sleep, reduce caffeine intake/blue light exposure in the hours before bedtime.

I struggled with this for a long time. I'd decide that I wanted to go to bed earlier, and wake up earlier, but would always fail with the former. I'd get in bed in time, but would never be able to fall asleep. It turns out the solution is really simple...

The silver bullet was:

Don't focus on bed time. That will come naturally. Go to bed whenever you can. The key is to WAKE UP early, every morning. Regardless of what time you went to bed, WAKE UP at your target hour the next morning.

Also - exercise each day. For me, lifting heavy weights and sleeping too little, quickly fixed my "too much energy" at night problem.
This is a false equivalency though.

Like yes I'd be much more annoyed if you cut off my foot than if you served a vegetarian dinner.

That's about as apt a comparison as I can make between "white supremacy" and "science".

Lest you think I'm being one sided, I absolutely support the ability of Facebook and YouTube to ban pornographic content, while I think the groups that do provide pornography are morally fine, something I don't think is true for white supremacists.

So unless you're making an absolutist free speech argument, please elaborate on why you think feminism and white supremacy deserve to be treated the same way. I can name a few reasons they shouldn't be: Haji Daoud Nabi and Clementa C. Pinckney to start.

For these ads to succeed, they not only had to present a vision of the future, they also had to do so in a way that someone watching the ad could understand in just a few seconds. That doesn't leave much time for explanation.

So they chose to present things in a way that the average person in 1993 could relate to. Everyone would have been familiar with calling home from a pay phone when traveling -- so it would make sense to present a future where video calling is done from a pay phone. That doesn't necessarily mean AT&T thought this is exactly how the future would play out.

A happy KB user, let's bring that article down:

1. A server runs KBFS which syncs data with the server. No one could stop you from disabling it on startup and running wherever you need it.

2. Any app running without AppArmour/SELinux or outside of network namespace could get your real address. Latter is relatively easy to set up, I'm running VPN by default and all the apps inside are running only in the namespace with VPN tunnel device.

3. Last time I checked I could make my own package.

4. I don't have time to check it atm.

5. Link for audit results is somewhere in the comments on this post.

6. Works with uBlock on.

7. Some paranoia rant without looking how KB works: it's push/pull mode, all messages are stored as files you could sync.

8. Based on previous points.

9. Each connection is under TLS. Plaintext messages could be read via RAM, and if someone could read it, KB would be the last problem.

10. You could make your own.

11. Fixed. #ls -l /keybase would show you the symlink KBFS_NOT_RUNNING to /dev/null, but shows correct directories under user running the app.

12. Hello GDPR.

13. Like everyone in the world does.

14. Bad outro.
I doubt that works of Solzhenitsyn has any value as a literature. He was a tool of political propaganda against USSR. There're numerous lies and exaggerations in his books. In 20-50 years everybody will forget him for good.
That's pretty cool, I didn't know they did that.
It's a terrible answer. It means they don't even know enough about what they want to have even an idea of what questions to ask. They may as well be flipping coins or tossing crap at the wall to see what sticks.

Empirical inquiry doesn't (usually) start with aimless exploration of data hoping it tells you something. It usually starts with an observation and some pertinent questions.
So, sometimes secrets are needed. For instance, I have found as a leader that holding cards close to the vest is important. When one has implicit power, everything said has weight. For instance, if I started to talk openly about a reorg, then people freak out.

Transparency then is bad if it introduces chaos.

Why XAP CREDIT SOLUTION remains the best for credit repair
Hi everyone, I just thought you about how I tried everything possible to buy a house and to start a new business, all to no avail until I discovered XAP CREDIT SOLUTION. I was actually battling with my credit with score of 470s, but when I contacted the company above, they helped clear all the debts, liens and judgements in my profile and also increased my credit score to 780s within 15 days. I insist you get through to them via XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM you can also text (972) 597 9704. Surely, you’ll see positive results.
It's not just an app, there's dedicated hardware to support it.
A lot of times, libertarians get pigeon-holed into a belief that we are corporatist stooges. The fact is, most of us absolutely support the ability of employees to bargain collectively, and actively oppose government protectionism.

I truly hope that these drivers are able to negotiate for what they deserve. I've known several people who've tried driving for Uber etc, and very few actually like it, and most have given up on the idea altogether. The reality is there needs to be a bit more transparency, and in the end, the Driver will probably get a larger cut of the income. If they're getting less than 30% as it stands, they're probably not getting near what they should be. And if the pricing doesn't support roughly what minimum wage is (not that I'm a fan), especially considering wear on one's own vehicle, then they should be fighting back (striking as a group).

They will have paid a lot in payroll taxes and sales taxes. Their employees will have paid taxes on their income as well.

I say this because when people make a simplistic statement about a company not paying much or any taxes on profits a lot of people are mislead into believing the company is somehow not contributing to government revenue. Which is obviously not the case at all.
I think age discrimination is really hard to prove because the plausible deniability is so strong. For one, older workers make more -- so discrimination can be masked as reducing costs.

Secondly, management is usually older, so if you're reshuffling divisions and reducing management overhead that also disproportionately affects older workers.

There are other tactics that I've seen used like holding those with higher pay grades to stricter requirements, making it easier to get rid of them.

All and all, I can't really see I being found at fault. I'd bet on a settlement being reached.
This comment goes against HN guidelines.

"Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

Consider this a warning, as we eventually ban accounts of repeat offenders.

I’m convinced AT&T did all those things because it was a monopoly. Look at what happened to Xerox after the DOJ killed it’s copier monopoly by forcing it to license its patents. PARC rapidly went downhill. Companies in highly competitive markets can’t really afford capital intensive innovation.

Why does the author look at each city as a closed system?

If we improve one city's community and rents go up due to increased demand, that necessarily means rents went down somewhere else in the US. So, net-net, landowners didn't necessarily get richer.

Furthermore, when the non-upgraded city eventually decides to invest in improving their neighborhood, people will move back, and the system as a whole will equilibrate.
"A society grows great when old [people] plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit."
You are outright failing or refusing to see that the narrative laid out in the comment made no insinuation, explicitly disavowed insinuation, and instead highlighted an alarming parallel. You seem to be the only one having this issue since the other replies to that comment did understand the narrative and din't read it as a shill accusation.

I hope this is in fact a misunderstanding on your part and not reflective of a broader bias.

>You have to "know your audience." This means you need to know your employees, bosses, or colleagues as people and work to understand what motivates them. This is challenging, risky, and requires an opening of the mind to not just understand different psychologies but to accept them as viable alternatives to your own.

I agree, but the trick is how to get them to be open with you about what is going in their mind, and I think NVC is a good way to get that to happen. But I would also add some people are sociopaths (or are stuck in a situation where they have to act that way), and NVC won't work there.

I absolutely despise the NVC communication pattern because very few people actually speak like this and when they do so it's an obvious deviation from their status quo. It feels fake because it is, and it feels fake because I know the pattern. It's like when I get "feel/felt/found"[1] from a salesperson...I know what they're doing and it's not going to work.

NVC is for when you genuinely want to respect both your own needs and those of the other person, which is not at all true for the salesman case.

>People / companies like to have the ability to dispute the outcome of a transaction

Crypto currency doesn't stop this. You can dispute cash transactions and you can dispute crypto transactions. If I pay for something in crypto and it is not delivered, I can sue, complain, etc just as I would with a credit card. What you can't do with crypto is run to visa and have them magically reverse the charge (possibly screwing over the merchant). But dispute away my friend.

This kind of expression helps humanize the otherwise distance created between the Chinese development world and the otherwise Western portrayal.

A few thoughts from my experience living in China. When living in China, I didn't see any appeal in the overworking culture.

Most developers with families worked normal hours. People who were single made time to spend time with friends. I didn't see the overwork ethic it in a positive light at all. Keeping in mind normal developers salaries in tier 1 cities for China is sub-1k USD a month. In tier 2 cities, I can only imagine it gets exponentially lower and so forth for smaller cities.

On the other hand, the vast majority of transactions in my life don't need government-muscled dispute protection. To me it makes more sense to opt-in to that in the occasions you deliberately want it.

Our financial system is its own brand of crapshoot. As we speak, I've just issued my 6th chargeback (6th month) to Amazon more an AWS account that someone hacked and changed all my details except for my payment info.

Finished a bachelor's in engineering physics in 2014. Chose to pursue a career in software/aerospace instead of continuing in physics.

I then left aerospace in 2017 for a quantum computing startup [1]. I'm currently focused on simulation software, where my physics background is certainly useful.

I like to think I'd still pursue a physics PhD if I became sufficiently obsessed with a specific topic.

Funny. I just read about 996 in a comment on another HN post today. I couldn't believe that schedule could actually exist in Chinese workplace culture so I started doing some research. Sure enough, this hellish schedule is actually quite common and official at major Chinese startups and tech companies. It seems like it's not as common at western companies operating in China. There's even a joke about 007: 0AM-0AM, 7 days a week.

Of course this flies in the face of my own experience that for the majority of people, productivity tops out at 40 hours per week unless it's for very short periods of crunch time. It's odd to see people so burnt out they've lost the self awareness to see that they've stopped adding value with their perpetual motion.

One reason for a lower proportion of older programmers is that the field overall has grown dramatically, and many older programmers move to management, while new people entering the field tend to be younger.

But median age for programmers is ~40.
A few months ago I ordered a book on a whim called "The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation." [0]

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it and how much I learned. There were amazing minds at Bell Labs who were given free reign to innovate (as a direct result of AT&T's huge monopoly and revenue stream) and ended up laying the groundwork for many ideas and concepts we take for granted today.

The book is so dense with information and anecdotes but I'd still consider it a page-turner. I highly recommend it.
