Legal status is frequently based on reasonableness. When you have a service with hundreds of millions of users, you already have a reasonable argument for "significant" even if the lower bound of significance is fuzzy. If you then survey the users of a giant system regarding practical alternatives, and the answer is overwhelmingly "even if there were one, I couldn't switch to an alternative offering the same features and price, because it would lack the critically important feature that everyone uses this one," you have a reasonable, practical, realistic means of identifying some of the entities that are too powerful, relative to their users, to be allowed to just do whatever they want with prices, who they will do business with, and any number of other policies.

If you want complete freedom to refuse to do business with users for whatever reason you want, charge anyone whatever you want and change as you like, and so on, you can have it as long as your users can reasonably exercise similar freedoms by doing business with alternatives. If network effects remove those options from your users, they should remove them from you, too.
If you get were paid $100/hr 5 years ago and are being paid $110/hr today, then you need to have a pretty reasonable idea of economic policy and being able to use enough mathematics to calculate that you are being paid exactly the same amount.

I expect most people on HN wouldn't really struggle with that, but that is because this is a forum infested with scientists, engineers, businesspersons and financiers. Most people won't be able to grasp that being paid $100/hr 5 years ago and $105/hr today means they have taken a pay cut. They would struggle to correctly calculate what the break-even rate would be.
You have good points here. However, I think there is some economic utility to the very idea that the United States, and US companies are behind the design and build of the strongest air powered aircraft in this moment. I say this without knowing what the evolving military threat might be or whether a fighter jet can counter it.

The F35 is a recruiting tool, not only to the armed services, but to the very nationalism that is used to persuade people to keep working toward an "American" dream.

> I would venture to say that 90% of what doctors learn in med school does not get outdated.

> A doctor in her 20's will treat 80% of the diseases in the same way when she's 70.

this is patently untrue. I'm in my 6th year of practicing Medicine. During my first day of classes, we were told that 50% of the knowledge we gained would be obsolete by the time we graduated. I took this as a metaphor for the pace of change. However, with the benefit of 2 cycles (Medical School, and then my working years) this has been absolutely true.

We have totally changed both how we approach heart disease/heart attacks (classifications) and treatments.
We have a cure for hepatitis C. Dietary recommendations have been upended. Treatment of trauma has changed. That's just a brief overview.

Whilst the underlying biology may remain the same, treatments even over the last 6 years have changed significantly, and continues to change significantly
I don't have any resentment towards English. The city has been around for as long as the English language and nobody local never called it with the anglicized name if anything it would be more of a correction.
Yes establishing a state religion is a power retained by the states. The states were independent countries before federation and so they retain a great deal of power.

In practice this is not something that we have to worry about here in Australia. The high court has rule in a few case an implied right to freedom of religion in the constitution in much the same way they have done so for freedom of speech - although freedom of speech seems to be under far more attack of late here.

> The 2% per annum is deliberate and useful; it means you have economic incentive to put your wealth to work on creating things-- new businesses, technology, public infrastructure-- by investing it, rather than passively sitting on it.

"Imagine the reverse: a deflationary currency, which becomes more valuable over time."

This describes the U.S. dollar from 1870-1890, but this was hardly a time of economic and technological stagnation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Deflation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Industrial_Revolution

Far from people holding on to their wealth to avoid missing out on the gains, they invested it heavily to avoid missing out on even bigger gains from being part of the technological revolution happening around them. Deflation was then a consequence (rather than a cause) of the economic growth that followed: with a constant money supply but more goods available for purchase, the price per good steadily fell.

If you want an analogy, then a white nationalist terrorist organisation like, say, Atomwaffen or Combat 18, would be the equivalent to ISIS. There's no problem banning those - indeed, we already have laws for that.

On the other hand, banning white nationalism as a whole would be more like banning Salafi Islam as a whole, instead of specifically ISIS, al-Qaida, al-Shabab, Boko Haram etc.

> Are creditors in China commonly non-rich individuals? Are micro-loans a significant portion of what's being talked about here? I'm asking this as a serious question.

From what I saw/met, most of those debts happened between average individuals. That is how the list end up having millions of cases.

I randomly checked a few cases on that list, most of time, the amount of debts are a few thousand USD. It is not some micro-loans for average guys on streets, it is close to one year of their wage.

It's not something most people support, including most LGBT activists, notwithstanding that they may believe otherwise.

If you pay close attention, most of the cultural debate over gender identity issues relates not to eliding distinctions and expectations, but to reshaping the boundaries and expectations of those identities.

It's easier to see what I mean by this with the debate over racism and affirmative action. In the U.S. most white people think equality means being "color blind"--so blind that some refuse to even admit that non-overt racism is possible. In truth civil rights in the U.S. has never been about eliding or ignoring [racial] distinctions, but changing expectations. As long as power differentials exist (and they will always exist), these expectations will matter and will constantly shift.

Another way to look at it is that any identity is by definition exclusive. And identities only matter because they imply a default set of expectations. If you say that people should be literally free to choose their identity, you're allowing people to freely reinterpret and redefine the implied expectations and shared _meaning_ of that identity, which can be injurious to those who previously chose that identity. There's an inherent conflict, there. It's why as a white male I can't go around identifying as a black female, certainly not without making substantial changes to my behavior and perhaps even physical appearance, changes that should be consonant with what being a "black female" means. To do otherwise would be another kind of violence.

You can't really understand any of these issues without understanding and appreciating the genesis--power. It's all about power over others. We can never have a society without power differentials because that would imply the power to _refuse_ to recognize the identities others have chosen for themselves. Power matters not because it's per se evil, but how it's used and how it's distributed and what are the concrete results in people's lives.

In adjudicating conflicts over what the expectations for an identity are, one must take into account how power is used and abused and by whom. For example, it's legitimately problematic for a man to argue that transgender women shouldn't be allowed in women's bathrooms because of the threat of violence. It's problematic because it's another instance of a man making decisions about what it means to be a women, and men have historically abused their social and economic positions when drawing these boundaries to disadvantage women more generally. The logic of the argument is secondary to the power politics, because fundamentally it's really about the power politics. It's more legitimate for women to make that argument, and in so much as they do make it it carries more weight (notwithstanding that women as a group are certainly capable of abusing their relative powers), but in actuality they've been less vociferous about it.

The line of thinking that says power differentials are inherently wrong and/or that we should elide the implications of identities are inconsistent. If only things were so simple....

This is very different from Apple or Microsoft (assuming they had iphones / windows laptops), they are B2C and are not managing individual customer relationships.

Salesforce is a B2B company and actively manages every relationship that they have with every individual customer, because lots of their customers are businesses that are willing to pay $10K/yr, $100k/yr or even $1M+/yr for their cloud products (why? the world may never know).

This means that "Customer Success Managers" are constantly reaching out to Salesforce's customers to up-sell them. Anyone who works with Salesforce knows that the salesforce folks are constantly schmoozing their customers for an up-sell.

This report shows that Backpage was no exception. So people at Salesforce were emailing, calling, customizing software for, taking out to lunch and making deals with a company selling child sex slaves online. They knew and took the money anyways.

Well, ISIS is a criminal organization for reasons unrelated to their speech. Once they have become one, it's not unreasonable to make their recruitment videos illegal to distribute to other people, on the basis that doing so amounts to conspiracy to recruit people to commit crimes (but mere possession and watching them should still be legal, because in and of itself that doesn't help them).

The way I see race actually agrees with you, but the issue is that "white nationalists" DO see themselves as a race and ethnicity:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_nationalism

It's in the first sentence of their description:

> White nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism which espouses the belief that white people are a race and seeks to develop and maintain a white national identity.
> The college will be held responsible if there's misinformation or something of criminal nature being shared.

This is precisely the dynamic that is driving facebook. I don't think the comparison to a newspaper is perfect, but I do think it's apt. In both cases, neither venue is obligated to give anyone their own soapbox to stand on. That was my point.

The "keep the A10" camp is specifically arguing that the A10 is crucial for providing air support to ground troops against insurgent-style opponents, and that there's no equivalent available if the A10s are mothballed.

There's some interesting counter-arguments to that view in this thread; I'm not knowledgeable enough in the domain to have a strong opinion.
Yes, I myself have been through multiple of those, and it's important for people to expect it.

Smart modern companies arrange it so that upper management never has that sort of moment. They break the law by setting up perfectly legal incentives and requirements that just happen, by their combined effects, to encourage or even require the minions to break the law. At no point is this ever acknowledged, and there is almost always a clear written policy stating that employees are expected to obey all relevant laws and regulations. This ensures that, when systematic fraud like this is uncovered, there is nobody to take responsibility and nobody has to go to jail, or at least nobody who matters.
Lots of city names are translated.

Even in India people would probably say "Rome" instead of "Roma", "Moscow" instead of "Moskvá".

And it's not only in English, Italian would say "Tolosa" instead of "Toulouse", German would say "Mailand" instead of "Milan", French would say "Cracovie" instead of "Kraków" an so on...
That sounds like a really weird experience.
No, thats actually the entire point. White nationalists just want to be left alone in their own countries. White supremacists want to take over the world.

Conflating the two is a racist attack on white people. Just apply the standard to any other group and that becomes obvious.
"Geek Squad" was an independent company in Minneapolis 20 years ago that was acquired by Best Buy. There's no reason to put "scare quotes" around it.

n.b. I worked for them as a part-timer (aka 'Rookie Agent') from 98-00 while I was in high school before the company was acquired by Best Buy. I stopped working there when the founder decided to unexpectedly let go of all of the part timers for whatever reason.
And when you talk (in English or Kannada) about Rome, do you write (and say) 'Roma'? When you talk about Moscow, do you say 'Moskvá'?

(Even closer to home, do you say 'naaii dillii'?)
They have tried to push me out of the industry many times, I'm pushing 50 but my ability to learn new things rapidly has enabled me to hang on long past what some might consider my expiration date. To some extent the 21st century can seem like Logan's Run, really the Feds expect us to work until we're over 70 years old, but given tech is perhaps the only decent paying industry left the impact of age discrimination has a broad impact across a lot of areas including projected tax revenues.
Huh? How is it a red herring? Their propaganda is considered speech that is worth censoring. May be specifically naming ISIS makes this too easy. How about generally censoring radical Islamist propaganda that doesn't necessarily name ISIS specifically? The point that you're not really replying to is that people are apparently willing to censor speech for various reasons, one of them links to particular ideology. Is this okay or is it not?
In this specific case (I have never encountered a proposal quite this bad), the correct answer is probably "Give me the proof of concept code and about ten minutes, and I'll give you a version that works despite the patch." You're right about that. "No" is likely to bog down the discussion with "but Bob says it will work", and it's better to skip to the end.

I'm envisioning more of a middle-ground case, where the code is still obviously wrong but it's harder to cleanly demonstrate why.
60% of your submissions are news about China, 94% of them are negative ones. You then mention the word "peaceful", dear god, that is something you need to seek very hard.

2. In most countries you can't legally discriminate based on nationality. In practice publishing this comment here will likely cause you more trouble if you reject someone now, than Australian government.

3. If you apply this to all... what countries are you left with exactly where the government or LE can't force people to do something?

>That is yet another feature which is mistaken by crypto advocates for a bug.

Whether it is a bug or a feature depends on whether it favours you or not. Anyone who owns assets and pays wages would think it is Christmas every day of the year. If nothing changes, they draw ahead without needing to do anything.

> Imagine the reverse: a deflationary currency, which becomes more valuable over time. You would have little choice but ...

No, I'd do exactly what I do now and invest the money in things that grow faster than the value of the currency. Nobody would care that the currency is deflating at 2% p.a. if there is 5% to make in the stock market.

The value of having a consistent measuring stick to figure out what is going on without constantly having to twiddle numbers for inflation would be a remarkable boon.

> Why would you spend your money building a business or hiring workers?

That one is an easy one, because people generally value present consumption and would give you money in exchange for goods and services. As a business owner you have a chance of ending up with more money than you started with.

With the exception of cancer has the treatment of these diseases changed that much since 2009?
If you're a specialist I imagined it's changed more but for a general practitioner it seems like treatment hasn't changed a whole lot. Most of the people I know with these conditions are taking the same drugs in 2019 as they were in 2009.
>> You chose to study medieval [sic] literature.

>That kind of attitude towards the humanities and academia in general is distressing to me, but all too common these days.

I don't have a hostile disposition towards the humanities. I just don't have a special reverence for it either. I don't see the point of hand wringing regarding intelligent well educated people choosing to go into poorly compensated careers. I'm not saying that the humanities are without merit, just that there is a low expected value for pursuing some degrees and we can reasonably expect that the individuals pursuing those degrees know or should know that. We don't have to act like it's a huge problem when the people pursuing financially non-rewarding careers wind up not making a lot of money.
