That sounds dubious to me. The SR-71 had some massive tanks and the idea that it couldn't accelerate to full speed on one tank seems unlikely. Even if you account for the burn in climbing to 50k feet ASL it seems like it has to be underselling the Blackbird quite a lot.

- remember that intention and alignment come become technique. Without them technique becomes a minus, not a plus.

How can a legal body possibly change the timezone retroactively?

All those people on Monday that _thought_ it was 1pm, it turns on Tuesday we decided it was actually 2pm when they thought it was 1pm. But nobody could have known that on Monday. So they've got to... go back and change any times they put on documents on Monday? How does that make any sense?

But incorrect timezone data or implementation is too real, true.
I used to work for a company that occasionally had to interact with others' Lotus Notes setups.

At one point, there was some discussion about migrating one of our systems to a document store. There was a fair bit of back-and-forth at first. After someone pointed out that Lotus Notes is basically a document store, though, the idea was dropped more-or-less immediately and unanimously.

I can see the attraction when you're just starting out on a project, but we had just spent way too much time dealing with what they're like after they've had time to mature into full-blown quagmires.

If I recall corrrectly, early in the history of the commercialisation of domain names (1990's), for a time the sole appointed registrar Network Solutions would not accept domain name registrations that contained certain "offensive" words.

Look at the original quote you're citing [0]:

>"I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me," Trump said. "You also had some very fine people on both sides,"

I can't even read this as him saying there are fine white nationalists, let alone him saying that white nationalist terrorists are fine.

How does that change Facebook's dilemma? Facebook faces PR pressure because they host the content at all, serving it chronologically or non-chronologically makes no difference. Who is complaining that the problem is really that Facebook serves white nationalist content in the wrong order?

What I would like is to to be able to set my "local time schedule" and be able to do it in advance. So for example if I am traveling next week I can indicate that my local time will change.

The problem is that slippery slope is not a hypothetical argument in this case. You can be jailed in France, today, for wearing a pro-BDS t-shirt, because it's "hate speech". At the same time, for all the political censorship that Europe has compared to US, it doesn't seem to be doing anything to stem the rising popularity of their extremist parties.

(https://theintercept.com/2017/08/29/in-europe-hate-speech-la...)

The problem, as usual, is that there's no "we" in "must we allow". You're not actually the person who's going to be doing the allowing - best case, if you live in a non-corrupt democracy, you'll be voluntarily giving that authority to somebody else; and not even to a specific person, but a role. If the bounds of that authority are too specific, it becomes useless in practice because it's easy to avoid its scope. If they are too vague, and the precise bounds are left to the discretion of the enforcers, it just gives them another channel to manifest their biases.
A wise friend of mine said "If you need to debate the definition of 'Nazi' to make sure it excludes you, you're a Nazi".
I would disagree with the blanket statement that folding 90% of the time is optimal, and can be discouraging to new players who are interested in learning poker.

Good players generally play around 20% of their hands, but even that vastly changes based on how aggressive the player is. Also, there is much more to factor in than just the hand you are dealt. You might want to play a tighter range (play less percentage of hands) in early position (let's say first or second to act in a betting round), compared to being last to act (where you might want to play a higher percentage of your hands). This is because being last to act in each betting round extremely useful in poker (If you want to know why, there's a lots of great articles on the internet who could explain much better than I [1]).

> This is precisely wrong - absence of governmental coercion is one of the necessary conditions for the free speech to exist, but it does not equal it and does not ensure it.

No, this is entirely sufficient for free speech.

> If it is functionally impossible to speak in a way that anybody can hear you, is it still a free speech?

Your definition is absurd; essentially you are demanding that "freedom of speech" include not only that you can legally say whatever you want, but that you also are guaranteed a place to say it and an audience who must listen to you. At some point, the freedom of the venue to choose what goes on there, and your audience members to select what they hear, must matter.

> I feel deeply disgusted by it.

You and I both! This is why we have laws ensuring equal access to private services -- however, those laws are based only on characteristics we have determined shouldn't prevent your access (race, sexuality, religion). Having bad ideas does not mean you're part of a protected group.

> But shouldn't we try to do better? And the history teaches us these things start with the outgroups but never end there.

This is a slippery slope argument. We already abridge the speech of people who are maliciously trying to create harm (falsely yelling "fire" in a crowded theater is a classic example). Yet despite this we still have substantial freedom of speech today. The fact that we don't allow people to incite panic seems to coexist quite happily with our current rights and privileges; claiming that somehow preventing white nationalists from speaking on Facebook, or credit card companies refusing to take their money, will somehow lead to the death of free speech is just fallacious.

Frankly we have, socially and legally, always placed limits on speech. The fact that it hasn't been done perfectly doesn't mean we just throw all restrictions out; it means we should always try to weight the good of free speech against the ills that speech can cause.
> My intuition is that the value that YouTube derives from being a place where people can post videos (and, somewhat importantly, monetize them) is much higher than the value that HN derives from people posting content.

I don't see how "value" contributes to the argument. YouTube makes money showing videos to people that other people have posted. Hacker News makes no money linking to articles that other people have written and showing comments other people have written. But in neither case is there a moral or legal imperative to allow any video or post on either platform based on any concept of value. Value doesn't (and shouldn't) matter.

> It wouldn't be very convincing, though, as a shield, if there was no effort put into active moderation not only for "niceness" but also for copyrighted or libelous content.

If such a site did or did not moderate for niceness, copyright, and libelous content I don't think it matters. You can't assume perfect moderation and some mean comment, copyrighted content, or libel might get through. As long the site makes an effort when discovered to remove copyrighted and libelous content then they should be shielded by the law. Furthermore, I think that's morally acceptable. It's incredibly difficult to filter for niceness or copyright.

> The idea lives in that grey area between "completely curated content" and "just a place where people can post content".

There is no such thing as "just a place where people can post content" in the sense that you are going for. Every place is owned and controlled by someone. They have no moral obligation to allow any content. It's also perfectly reasonable for them to also be shielded from copyright and libel if they make a good faith attempt to remove it.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm hoping there are a lot of indie artists out there who are seeing success through Spotify like yourself. Musicians and the songs they write are like authors and their books: there are way too many good ones to read in a lifetime so we end up just focusing on a few really popular ones. Spotify is like a giant library just ready to be browsed for those who want to step off the path. Also I really enjoyed A Laughing Heart!

I think I have asked these kinds of questions in every one of the interviews I've ever done to whoever was the senior manager/C and they haven't even blinked at answering the question. It is critically important to me to know if the business feels healthy as it directly affects my confidence in the company, the vision that the person across the table is trying to sell me, and if the person in front of me has their head screwed on right. This is the kind of information that I use in combination with external signals to call bullshit or not. To also colour in this perspective a bit a frank 'I don't know, we are too small and we are struggling to get our internal operations on track and are looking for people who can help' is a sane and reasonable answer.

If I join the organization without asking these sorts of questions and realize that the person leading the company doesn't even know how their own company is running that kills my morale. It could also be that when I ask these sorts of questions I am frank about my opinions: I don't mind being part of the machine but I am business oriented and derive motivation/happiness from doing what I can to accelerate that business even further.
We sell the F-35 because if it ever came to it, our F-22's would dominate their F-35's they bought from us.

The variance is also what allows poker to thrive and pro players to have an income though. Since poker is zero sum (really negative because of the casino's take) there has to be a steady supply of losing money playing. That means bad players have to believe they have a shot. If they never or very rarely won against higher skilled players, they'd dry up.

Imagine casinos that had cash chess tables or basketball courts. Would you have enough dead money willing to risk playing? I'd wager no. You'd get occasional fish willing to try but they'd get dunked on and go home. Without enough new money, the game would dry up as the best players and the casino accumulate all the rest.

Online poker was really interesting before Black Friday. I used to play back then. Nothing crazy, about 60,000 hands of NLHE at low stakes cash games for fun.

But the really interesting thing to me was how successful the video learning platform SAAS business was for Poker. These sites started to pop up where high level players would record their sessions and talk through their hands, then you paid per month for access to these videos. I remember when Card Runners[0] just came out.

It was one of those niches that lined up perfect for a SAAS business. No shortage of games, lots of online pros playing with different styles, and some of them were really good at talking through their thought process. All they had to do was play (which they were doing already) and comment on their hands.

First you say that “monopoly isn’t important” and then go on to claim:

The 20th century concept of "monopoly" is entirely insufficient. This is the underlying cause of the pseudo-paradox.

Now first of all your last point is conflating the right to express yourself with the right to make a career on someone’s platform expressing yourself.

Controlling monetization+virality/discovery is too potent a combination to let a single entity control for censorship purposes.

As far as the need for network effects to be classified as monopolistic, I disagree

It's hard to convince someone of a fact, if their bread and butter depend on their not acknowledging it.

I do not understand how people can not understand that a percentage tax, by it's definition, does have the largest companies pay more.

I do not understand how people can not understand that the largest companies pay a lot of money to structure their taxes so that they pay proportionately less of their income in taxes than smaller companies do despite deriving significantly more economic benefits from the stable economic system those taxes enable.

Also, the percentage tax does not by definition mean that the largest companies pay more. It means that the most profitable companies (on an income tax basis) pay more taxes on an absolute basis than a similarly-sized company that makes less profit. However, Apple, Google, and GE are all (or at least in GE's case, was) highly-profitable companies that pay ridiculously low taxes for their profit because their "taxable" income is significantly less than their economic income.
That's helpful additional detail. I'm not anti-honey-bee! I just think this is an animal husbandry challenge (one commercial pollinators appear to have handled) and not an environmental crisis --- unlike, say, water.
> So, coming back to the FB declaration, "white nationalist" does not make much sense

That's because you are trying to reason out what it might mean as if it were a simple combination of two words whose meaning should be transparent from the constituentsz rather than a name for adherents to the ideology named “white nationalism” which isn't “white” modifying “nationalism” but rather a construct with (very loosely; it was originally a bit of a PR term for those selling it) the same relationship to the idea of a (putative) “white nation” with specific traits that “nationalism” has to “nation”.

But, you know, you don't have to guess about things like that, there are search engines and decent general references at hand any time you have access to the internet, so even if you didn't know the meaning, you could easily look it up and find out. [0]
