It wasn't, but even if it was, that's only the official rules. We can choose to play by different rules.
The reason it's bogus is because there are TONS of people who talk about wanting to kill so called neo-nazis on facebook and they sure aren't getting kicked off.

I went to an interview in the UK (fancy add/marketing agency) and they (the interviewer) had such a dirty messed up t shirt on, that I would not wear to dig the garden.
The use of financial incentives often displace a genuine interest and motivation to do such things.

Be wary of applying it too broadly, I think.
What the article title didn't stress is the word "a few selected".

Just to re-iterate what it says in the article, the intent was that this draft policy change to re-allow (currently banned since 3 years ago) "select elite hospitals in China to sell experimental therapies would give people with terminal illnesses faster access to potentially effective treatments."

First, this proposed lifted ban is only for select elite hospitals NOT all hospitals.

Second, for terminally illness, experimental therapies are indeed used as a last resort treatment. Just like many other countries. And many anecdotes we've heard. E.g. Was virus treatment FDA approved? No! Did the doctors have any other way to save this patient on a life-and-death situation? Not really. [1]

Given that there is such a high correlation between religion, race and cultural background I don't think it's always possible to say that racism is fine but bigotry and xenophobia aren't.

There are IP-based rate limiters on sites (linkedIn, facebook, etc), but each lambda has a new public IP so by using faast.js, I can stay under the radar.

Buy a nice watch. One that you enjoy the look of and will wear daily.

It'll cut the number of times you grab your phone in half.

Agreed. It seems like it was more of an outcome than a cause.
dude my productivity went down for like 2 years after having a kid. Griping about productivity during what "should" be parental leave is just wrong. Seriously, consider changing jobs, they'r not all like that.
> How many deaths per generation on average do you feel is acceptable to store our radioactive waste?

My point is that only one generation (maybe two) would be impacted, since future generations would have learned from prior generations that "Hey, if you go to this very-ominous-looking place with giant black spikey stones sticking out of the ground you're gonna get really sick and probably die". That sort of thing is the exact sort of thing that gets passed down from generation to generation via oral history.

It's obviously better that people don't die at all, but that's an idealistic goal. If people are going to die, might as well make it as easy as possible to associate that death with the trespassing that preceded it.

> And in the linked example it was highly radioactive, and people fell sick and died within days.

That... only proves my point further. That's even less time between cause and effect, making it easier to associate and connect the two. Especially - again - when it's associated with a place that has a physical appearance that screams "this land is evil; stay the hell away".

> More likely is higher rate of cancers, stillborns and different kinds of genetic damages.

In the example you linked, the rate of incidence for these things among those exposed to the radiation was not higher than the baseline for that locality.

> How long is it going to take before people connect those things to the strange mines?

"within days"

Tech Stack: Across our product portfolio we leverage a variety of languages, frameworks and tooling. Much of code is written in C#/.NET Core 2.x along with handful of other languages such as C++, PHP, Node.js and Java. For frontend, Angular 6+ on the newer products, and a few mature products leveraging Javascript and JQuery. Many databases to store our 200TB+ of production data including MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, DynamoDB & RDS.

We have some monolithic applications though new products & platforms are built using microservices running Docker containers on AWS ECS with some footprint in Azure. We leverage many AWS services – Lambda, CloudWatch, S3, EC2, Route53, IAM, SQS, SNS and more. We also use Terraform for configuring infrastructure, Jenkins for CI, and Git/GitLab for source code. These are flexible (they can and will change) and what a candidate knows for stack is not as important as their ability to think creatively – we can train languages, it’s much harder to train curiosity and intellectual drive.

Maybe I should have been more clear, that follows:

> Most readers on HN

So should be read as "Running a small to medium site isn't too hard for most readers on HN".

If it wasn't then that was a failure on my part to communicate effectively.
The addition of ze (gender-neutral pronoun) is even better than OK.
I am not the author of the parent comment that you're replying to, but I appreciate your civil reply in a flamebait-y thread.

That said, his point seems to be that FB is banning e.g. Farrakhan without making any effort at disproving Farrakhan's claims, and furthermore that many of the commenters in this thread are similarly dismissive of Farrakhan's claims without offering anything resembling a good-faith disproof of those claims.

(Note that the parent and I are not making any statement about Farrakhan's correctness or incorrectness, but are instead merely noting the widespread absence of proofs about this correctness).

Personally I know essentially nothing about Farrakhan and his claims, but I like to believe that I can think critically enough to evaluate his claims on their merits, and do not need to be "protected" from hearing them by Facebook or anyone else. I (and perhaps the parent poster) would like to participate in an agora of ideas where everyone is welcome to promulgate his claims, no matter how allegedly outlandish, and the strongest ideas will win on their merits. Contrast this to a situation wherein the winning ideas win because their rivals are excluded from the agora.

Of course I don't mean this just about Farrakhan. Similarly, I have never read the Protocols of Zion, which are mentioned several times elsewhere in this thread, and I have no clue whether they are related to a Jewish conspiracy for world domination etc. But many commenters here are asserting claims about the Protocols, without offering any attempt at a proof beyond a link to Wikipedia, which personally I find very unconvincing as a matter of principle, on this and any other topic.

In general I am not convinced by assertions/bannings, and prefer evidence.
KO is already a valid word in international (English language) tournament play.

Personally, I am sad about this. Serious scrabble play is largely about rack management - i.e. trying to get a set of tiles that you can play all at once for a 50 point bonus (bingo). That means dumping tiles that make it harder to score a bingo (duplicates, difficult letters) while
taking into consideration the likelihood of drawing better tiles given what's been played and what letters your opponent is dumping (signalling what's in their rack). Most turns are about maximizing the points from non-bingos while putting together a good rack, and that frequently means playing words parallel to what's already on the board to double-up on a premium tile.

The 2006 OSPD addition of "ZA" and "QI" really changed the game, and not in a good way. Q-sticks (sticking your opponent with an unplayable Q) were a staple of end-game play, especially but are now basically obsolete.

OK rankles especially as an initialism. There will be (very nerdy) riots if a 2 letter 'V' word is ever added.
God forbid a comment be made that's even partially tongue-in-cheek. With all the coverage and discussion around Uber, its business model, its financial performance etc, combined with the equivalent buzz around WeWork, I think the comment was excusable and could have gone without the personal attack with regards to understanding the generic topics of business and finance.

its more complicated than that. such as sales tax holidays and classifying stuff you sell correctly. i.e. packaged food might have no sales in some states but what qualifies as tax free food can vary from state to state. to get this right, you have to make sure you are classifying everything in a very verbose manner that covers every single state.
It would be an interesting experiment on this to see if a U.S. politician would be willing to propose raising the age to collect Social Security in order to keep it solvent for later generations. Maybe I'm too cynical but I doubt older folks would be turning out in droves to support that idea.

We need to be able to criticize cultures, as they are choices and not unchangeable traits at birth, and some cultural behaviors are absolutely unhealthy. Your premise opens up certain cultures to be immune to criticism, which is a terrible thing.
> multi-user story

I don't know what this means, so I'm just answering what I'm guessing this means :)

Probably one of the biggest non-OS deployments of Guix is at the institute where I work. We use Guix as a package manager on an HPC cluster. Hundreds of users share the same Guix daemon but each of them can use their own version of Guix with it. They simply invoke "guix pull" to upgrade whenever they feel like it to get a new version of Guix and this affects nobody else.

Users are, of course, not limited to having just one profile. Just like Guix can be used to manage different software environments per user it can just as well be used to manage separate software environments per project. At the institute we do this all the time to create separate environments for independent projects that each have their own upgrade schedule.

> Hurd?

We're using Linux libre by default. Guix runs as a package manager on a Hurd system (such as Debian GNU/Hurd) and Guix has packages for building Hurd servers as well, so a Guix System that uses the Hurd instead of Linux libre is close to being ready. Most of this work was done by a very dedicated student who did this as part of GSoC (twice) and who continued to fix problems afterward.

Not all features of Guix will work on a Hurd system; Linux-style containers obviously only work on Linux --- the Hurd has much prettier support for container features, including unprivileged file system virtualization (something I hate to miss on Linux).

The biggest problem with Guix + Hurd is that we aren't yet building packages for the Hurd on our build farms, so no binaries are available. This means there are only very few people who would be willing to use this and report bugs or contribute fixes. I'm planning to attach some Debian GNU/Hurd VMs to the build farm within the next few weeks so that this obstacle is removed. Many of the Guix developers are Hurd enthusiasts (myself included), so I hope now some of us can close the gaps that prevent us from having a native Guix + Hurd GNU system.

> third party channels with non-free software

As one of the maintainers of Guix I'd rather not share links to channels providing non-free software. I also sincerely hope that people will put their time into improving free software than to develop workarounds to allow them to keep software alive that does not respect their freedom and thus harms our communities. That said, there are countless repositories on popular hosting sites that provide package definitions of varying quality for non-free software (also of varying quality :)) --- some of them are also used in HPC deployments.
Yep, same. And it's word of mouth from people/entities I trust. And that trust has been built up over time. I have zero attachment to Acmecorp or Joe Random, and generally zero trust in them.
Oops...

> My guess is that you're probably looking at it through the lens of living in United States.

Well, that is where I live, so that's the lens I have... My experience is that religions tend to settle down as they age. Catholics, while they may have firm belief, tend to keep it to themselves, and not to proselytize. It's more of a culture and ritual than a fervent cause. Protestants, especially Evangelicals, tend to be a bit more vocal. Mormons were killing people not so long ago[1] (though my Mormon friends never tried to convert me). Scientologists are just insane. Our older religions are, on average, more peaceful and benign.

I don't know where you live or grew up, so I can't guess at your experience with religion.

I'm absolutely convinced that social media is shortening our attention spans, and I do not think that's a good thing.

At one point I realized that I hadn't thought deeply or creatively about anything in a long time, and it was because I was constantly consuming the mental equivalent of junk food snacks. Endlessly scrolling feeds, banal and unchallenging content that demands nothing more from us than a tap/click/swipe... that little red notification icon is a psychological experiment; a Pavlovian intermittent reward. And it was specifically designed to be so.

I firmly believe the human mind needs periods of boredom, and space free from distraction. Without that space, the mind has no room for contemplation or creativity.
That's just it. My daily commute is quite normal, easily within the range of a Leaf or whatever, but I also enjoy frequent roadtrips to Chicago, Cleveland, Dayton, Toronto, occasionally Kansas City or Washington DC. Most of those are weekend jaunts, but there are longer trips too – I drove to Eagle Harbor last summer and Orlando over the holidays. I’ll probably drive to NYC this summer, as I have in 4 of the last 10 years. I love roadtrips and consider them a wonderful part of the American experience.

The standard EV-evangelist response to this is “take the train” or “rent a car for the weekend”, but I’m sorry, those just aren’t comfortable for me – the train lacks the freedom and sense of adventure, and rentals usually smell funny, among other things. Altering my lifestyle to suit the car’s limitations means it was the wrong car in the first place: The car should serve me, not the other way around. The Tesla’s longer range and presence of Supercharger stations along the routes are totally irrelevant for my daily commute, but they completely change the game when you include my other driving.

With any other EV, I would need a second car to address the other part of my usage, and that means twice the insurance, twice the registration cost, twice the driveway-space, and the chance of forgetting something important in the one car while I’m using the other. And feeling like a glutton for owning an “extra” vehicle.

That being said, I still haven't bought a Tesla for a handful of reasons, but nothing else even comes close to meeting my needs.
Certainly, people should review anything they plan on taking with their doctor.

Berberine is well tested (about 3000 years of medical use). It wasn't until the last decade or so they found it had the same use as Metformin. Apparently metabolic syndrome is less of an issue in China? They mostly used it for gut infections and as a clothing dye.

The most common interaction id diarrhea and cramping from diarrhea. (same as Metformin) It can also cause sweating and low blood sugar.

"Here's How Breitbart And Milo Smuggled White Nationalism Into The Mainstream" (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/josephbernstein/heres-h...)

Here's one of many relevant excerpts:

> These new emails and documents, however, clearly show that Breitbart does more than tolerate the most hate-filled, racist voices of the alt-right. It thrives on them, fueling and being fueled by some of the most toxic beliefs on the political spectrum — and clearing the way for them to enter the American mainstream.

> It’s a relationship illustrated most starkly by a previously unreleased April 2016 video in which Yiannopoulos sings “America the Beautiful” in a Dallas karaoke bar as admirers, including the white nationalist Richard Spencer, raise their arms in Nazi salutes.
While it is true that old American voters tend to support what most consider to be detrimental conservative policy, I’m not sure that’s guaranteed to be true forever. That could just be a generational thing? Social conservatism tends to be popular with the older people but social conservatism isn’t really the driving force of current conservative politics as, say, ethnic nationalism.

What I’m referring to just natural self interested voting. Namely protecting housing prices and expanding healthcare for the elderly.

For all countries, democratic or not, it’s going to suck simply because old people are expensive, and often have problems which simply require great deals of time. We will not be able to do a great job on this across the globe, so we’ll hit simultaneous humanitarian failings and economic struggles to try anyway. When the population pyramid flips, the economy doesn’t grow. When the economy doesn’t grow, its the young people who hurt the most.
