>It's like saying some terrorists are Muslim so all Muslims are evil.

Where is the thresh hold the judgment is made at and will we consistently apply it to all groups? I can think of examples of groups that are reviled by most, yet who have members who don't desire directly evil policies. Some desire forms of what may qualify as oppression that are even seen by the majority as acceptable when you swap out certain groups.
Yeah people underestimate 14 year olds pretty regularly, there's a lot of dumb kids out there but there's some very precocious ones too.
Similar to what the Mule can do in the Foundation series, except that he is able to push a person to have insights and make leaps in thought that the person would not otherwise have, at the cost of the person wasting away. He got the anti-nuclear field device that way and almost the location of the second foundation group.
It's still a hell of a lot cushier than what others have to deal with.
well maybe, since the US is finding this really really tricky for some reason, look at what other countries have done around hate speech.... because, you know, it didn't end civilization as we know it, we are all still free ( in fact, in terms of freedom many countries, with hate speech laws, rank better than the US ). It's bizzare that in a country where the kid who goes on a mass shooting, could engage in hate groups online, but until a couple of years ago would have been banned from getting a kinder eggs, coz ya know, it could of hurt him.
I want to agree with this, but the delivery is also not-14-ish. I have a 15yo child. This is in uncanny-valley in both the "what 14 yo would write this?" and "what 14 yo would want to delivery this?" quadrants.

That said, it also feels like copy-pasta from the conservative radio voices of the last 20 years (Rush Limbaugh, etc).
Just Ask Desh
>Because not feeding your children is not speech.

For the sake of argument, I will grant that. That's not what I asked though.

Why is saying "we should not tolerate X" not intolerant speech, when it is literal advocacy of intolerance in the form of speech?

If we agree with you that all intolerant speech except for speech which is intolerant of intolerance should be prohibited, why should such speech not be prohibited, when X != "intolerant speech"?
So basically it has been perverted and acts in ways that harms people now, like most things Google touches.
Yes. I remember AWS asked about the size of the databases I have worked with in the past, and then negged me when it was smaller than their databases.

Of course the databases I worked with were smaller, they deal with some of the largest in the world.

Though you've missed the less likely option 4), an extraordinarily gifted 13-yo girl spending too much time on the internet. Some kids are amazingly smart.
Fair point. I suppose I should have said "nothing someone-else's-cloud connected". I'm actually considering setting up remote access on my system, but if I do it will be through a server I control.
This boasts well for cloudflare and the potential IPO in September.
There is zero chance of this occurring in our lifetime. We don’t understand even a tiny fraction of human biology, and every new drug - by definition - is exploring a new part of chemical space that we’ve never sampled before.

This is the fundamental hard, hard thing about biology and medicine that silicon valley thought-leaders don’t understand. There is nothing about drug discovery that is deterministic.
How do you figure? Amazon makes less than half the revenue of Walmart. Personally it seems kind of silly to talk about any of them as a 'monopoly' when I literally use a competitor to each of the biggies (Amazon, Apple, Google, etc.) every week. Why does anyone consider these companies a 'monopoly' when I'm easily and conveniently getting the same product from someone else?
No, they aren't equating mass shooting and political candidates. They are responding to the assertion that political ideology isn't a protected class.

If you want to defend the 1st amendment rights of companies to choose their customers, you must apply that across the board, or suggest the laws be changed.

If companies can exercise their 1st amendment rights to shut down political ideology in this instance (and if you think that's fine), then to be consistent you need to defend it elsewhere. Shutting down political opponents, choosing which political ads to run, choosing which investigations to allow in search results, etc. And censoring Elizabeth Warren is a perfectly valid example of how companies could exercise their rights, if indeed you think those rights should exist.
I would bet you most of those people are paying a lower tax rate than I am, as they're smart enough (and have the means) to shift most of their earnings to capital gains and take advantage of other tax avoidance strategies.
TFA mentions specifically "good engineers" and the point wasn't about quality, it was about the overall pool. That's all I was saying. It's about the false framing.
I assure you that a politician today in the US needs a social media presence. As much as he/she would need a news presence.

Many people on both side make a point of how memes were essential in Trump's win.
No, this does not resolve the issue at all. The problem is not that police are accessing Ring footage against the will of the owners, the problem is that Ring users are complicit in constructing a surveillance panopticon that affects everyone else and has no mechanisms for preventing abuse.

Personally forgoing Amazon devices isn't the solution. There must be political action.
> The internet is not the public square, until you legally make it so.

Culture and custom generally precede law and government. If the Internet is a public square, it is only so as a result of our various social relations. Passing laws would be merely to preserve it as such.
I'm with you on this, even beyond the first week. Been doing primarily Python for more than a year now and sometimes I still slide back to my Perl days and write the C-style for.
I thought it was fun to run a web, dns and ftp server on a PowerMac in 1997. But I had the sense to start learning Linux and finally get one in 1999.

I was using then-current actual Mac software for this. On classic Mac OS.

The box was not very stable. I had an AppleScript to reboot the mac four times per day.
>...and/or are only motivated by a paycheck...

Are you really suggesting that people motivated by a paycheck are ineffective and can't be trusted? For that matter, that contractors can't be trusted? Or people who would rather be doing other things?
I believe you, but I'm also confident that your quotation was said in jest.
Try putting yourself in the shoes of someone in the US in 1940.

Would the statement "kill germans" be intolerant?

///

When I was in grade school, a holocaust survivor was invited to speak at my school. At the time we had a german foreign exchange student. As a joke, one of his friends baited the speaker into going on a vitriolic rant about how much he hated Germans. The speaker than paused, and gathered himself and said he did not blame today's generation for the previous ones horror, but that the terror inflicted upon him and his family would be with him forever.

I was chosen to ask a question, and asked him what it must feel like when he sees young people today wearing Nazi paraphernalia and glorifying the Nazi regime.
Launch HN: Defimeter – gas costs calculator for DeFi smart contracts
Hey HN, wanted to launch here the application I built to track the gas consumption of DeFi smart contracts. If you use any of the major decentralized finance protocols, it'll help to measure the fixed cost of your operations and spot differences in efficiency between different smart contracts. For example a ERC20 token-to-token swap in Uniswap currently costs about 93,000 gas units vs. >500,000 using Kyber.

The tool currently cover a few exchanges (Uniswap, Kyber & Bancor) and lending protocols (Compound & dYdX) but the idea is to add more - if you have suggestion pls let me know.

I built this for myself and hope you’d find it useful too. If you decide to give it a spin and have any feedback I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Even assuming for academic reasons that the situation is identical in every way, except with left-right political nouns swapped - why is the inverse version bad, requiring that people "take a step back"?
I believe it was found that her brother helped write some of the scripts for her videos.
I think you misunderstood what I wrote. I was describing how de-platforming by private companies would weaken them while not making them substantially harder to monitor.

Of course, they still have their constitutional rights of speech and assembly. But without the signal boost provided by private companies, they'll be in a far weaker position.
Fuck all these losers. I'm not kidding. They can get fucking aids and die at this point holy shit.
It's temporary because these companies create shares every month to give out as incentives to their corporate suite.
>Light is powerhungry and arrogant, but he's also very moralistic. A character that proritizes fear over accuracy would be a different character than Light. He wants to build a better, even perfect, world. And for that, he must have accuracy. Otherwise he's a mere tyrant, something he believes he is not.

Somewhat. You're right that Light is extremely ambitious in his goal, but fear is also explicitly his chosen strategy. (Also, Light very clearly leans into being a tyrant. He says that eventually, he wants to start executing useless people as well.)

Another thing to consider is that (and I believe this happens in the manga), the news reporting itself responds to the Kira phenomenon, and starts publishing names accordingly. For us, let's think "Top 10 people in the world Kira should kill right now" listicles. The upside is that the information becomes more readily available. The downside is that you (our hypothetical, less-evil Light) may eventually want to exercise some discretion over who's being killed, and that would be where information gets leaked, and that's where I think this strategy might falter.
>I still don't think it makes a good case for comparing entire languages as a whole.

I wasn't making such a case. I was pointing out that in limited contexts, different languages may have more or less effective means for accurately describing things within that context.

Attempting to place a valuation on languages and comparing them wholesale is stupid, but that doesn't imply that a language can't be lacking in vocabulary in some space compared to another. That also doesn't mean that there is something fundamentally keeping it from developing vocabulary for such spaces. Which I'm sure they do in niche spaces, such as the academy.

I think it is genuinely her too, and I honestly feel a bit scared... Society is so damn polarized today.

Does there exist two different demographic groups that actually are in harmony today?
It’s not hypothetical at all.

Amazon depends on blue collar workers for its business to run. All of the other companies just outsource their blue collar workers to other countries. Apple for instance depends on hundreds of thousands of blue collar workers working at Foxconn. I doubt that workers at Foxconn are treated better than Amazon warehouse workers. Do we excuse Apple and condemn Amazon just because they don’t employ the workers directly? Google and Microsoft have much smaller hardware businesses, but they use Foxconn also as far as I know.
Citibank is even worse. I use a password manager and have used a 20+ character password for years. Every now and then, as happened a few months ago, they change the website in a way that breaks long passwords. So even though my password manager entered it correctly, it rejected my password until I had to reset it.
These guys have been trying to do something like that: https://upverter.com/
You very much would want to keep it guarded until you have secured your goal.

Bootstrapping the singularity is unlikely to be achieved with a single application of a time machine since you are only sending information to the past, not the technology itself.

And repeated application allows other actors to intervene during each iteration, which may result in the CTC settling into a different fixed point than the desired one.

You can't expect to own and use a time machine and be left alone while doing so.
>exclusion, not inclusion

Why not both? Why generalize to all scenarios at all times?
In America, it’s protected.
I could argue that cell phones (etc.) are technology that is basically: "Come rescue me." There are plenty of other technologies that we can use to help ourselves (maps, compasses, matches, and so forth). I'm at least somewhat uncomfortable with saying that calling for help is quite in the same category.
Mobile browsers need to show a red banner above domains that are known to "significantly drain your battery". In the really bad cases even show an interstitial similar to the "This site is not secure" pages before people proceed to them.

This targets more of the performance side of problem than the tracking & privacy side, but it does assign cost and works as signaling mechanism back to publishers when they do something that harms the user experience.
Hangouts on Air has a bit of functionality which a lot of streamers value highly: The picture will automatically change to the speaker.

Is there any other software that does this as well as Hangouts on Air does?
There were limits to this ability though. All behaviour had to be in character.
In hindsight.. it seems like it could become their downfall.

It also seems so counter-productive for a company that basically controls large parts of the web traffic to become so politicized. What was Larry, Sergey and Eric thinking?

Edit: Seems like I can't create new posts - I'm being rate limited. Editing this comment instead as a workaround.

I think Google's stated mission ("to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful") relies on the staff being politically neutral.
Before you excoriate 8chan, I will point out that I have found all kinds of interesting information on there that isn't some salacious nature. For example, someone posted "confidential" FBI documents outlining that all conservatives are now considered white nationalists/ fascists/white supremacists and how they are a huge terrorism threat and how to rate them. It's not surprising to see it, but there it was in black and white what our government's real intentions for its own people are.

Folks, if you can't see the bullshit that is going on right now, I can't help you. If you truly fear online speech, then why are you in technology in the first place? If technology isn't going to free us from statist coercion but rather further enslave us, what good is it?
What about certain sports teams who deny half of the population a chance from playing? They justify it with notions of biological differences, but in what other setting is that an acceptable justification?

There is also the difference in refusal to serve and refusal to provide a specific service. If you are willing to serve a group but not provide them with a service that you also refuse to provide others, even when the service has a strong corollary with a service you do provide, it is seen as a different matter than refusing to serve a group. This is seen in both the bakery case and the waxing case.
> So she reported her female manager to HR for gossiping

Not for gossiping, for creating a hostile work environment through repeated discriminatory comments. And the manager's gender is irrelevant since women are just as capable of sexism and discrimination as men.
> In the same sense that a mob outside the courthouse ensured a guilty verdict, perhaps. But it's still the jurors who actually acted.

I am not sure what you mean here... but I would find in both cases very problematic that a mob could wield such power. A mob is not a democratic representation.
Right. See flat earth, antivax, qanon, etc.

> how does that reduce shootings?

I'll assume you are a woman.

In the 1998 comedy "There's Something About Mary", sexual abstinence is compared to "going out with a loaded gun."
This is so naive. Terrorists use FB, Twitter, Youtube, Google, Cloudflare, Apache, PHP, Java, Volkswagens, US Senators, phones, pagers, etc. etc.

So here is a formula for you to use in case you want to send us back to the dark ages:

> Can any free speech absolutists explain to me the legitimate public interest that is served by allowing terrorist breeding grounds like _INSERT ANY OF THE PRODUCTS FROM THE LIST ABOVE_to continue to operate?
"Those people" are usually folks with a onetime windfall. For example a startup employee with options not stock. And I don't see what bearing that has on the top rate.
See that's the trick. To make the high tax economies function, you have to tax even the lowest income earners at the high rate. Instead, in the US, we have greedy low earners who don't want to pay their share and just want the feds to steal more money from the rich Other and give it to the Good people like me.
You could say the exact same thing about Twitter, Facebook, Reddit or any other form of social media. People get absorbed in ideas all the time, and those platforms just multiply the intensity.

Personally, Twitter has been a much bigger source of anger, shock and hate than 4chan ever was. Some of the shit I've seen on Twitter made it unbearable to go on my day and yet on 4chan, on boards like /vg/, /ck/, /g/, /wg/ it was mostly just shitposts and once in a while you would see a good post.

All I can do is shrug.. People with no clue will always just yell.

I have had the same experience both in Germany and in some areas of the UK, like downtown Cambridge which was shocking.

In contrast, both Scandinavia and many parts of Southern Europe have great mobile and landline Internet. I guess it has something to do with the structure of the market before EU enforced massive privatizations.
What I’m saying is that the other companies aren’t actively doing bad things as long as you ignore all of the contract labor that it takes to produce iPhones/Pixels/Xboxes, etc.
Don’t confuse capitalism with competitive markets. Capitalism love monopolies as soon as they have the lead.
Amazon is probably not a monopoly in the advertising market, but Alphabet doesn't run an online store.
There's a lot of cynical takes here, but I like to think of this as the type of art project that can only take place on the internet, because there has to be some kind of funding involved.

It's easy to decry him for having sponsors, but that is a bizarre standard. Michelangelo had sponsors/patrons, but nobody disregards the Sistine Chapel because he was paid for it. Personally, I really want people to use the internet for weird, personal art projects that are shared with the world. Getting sponsored by WeWork instead of the Medicis doesn't change anything.
As the guy who said "we are going to send Mr. Obama home to Kenya" I doubt Meadows has a very broad-minded approach to delegating responsibility to those with more experience and expertise.

I wouldn't automatically discount the value that a restauranteur or real estate developer could bring to office. At least it would bring a bit of diversity of opinion compared to the roomful of lawyers. Though in this case, we're experiencing the opposite problem: people who have absolutely no idea how legislation is done or how the government functions, and who cannot be convinced that they're not experts in every domain they touch.

It would be nice if people came to DC with the intent of listening, discussing, and coming to conclusions together. But the system is adversarial by design, and grows more adversarial with each passing year.

As governments seem slow to action, would coordinating consumers shopping help combat the monopoly power of some industry? For example, having an app that notifies you to try and buy from a competitor like walmart for a few days to pressure amazon into bargaining?
Regardless of that, isn't it still a crime this child committed?
I think it's foolish to attribute this kind of awful behavior to being a teenager. We can expect more from children and teenagers than the world tends to credit them.
Yup, its a bit annoying when I argue against them, but its a point-of-view that I've begrudgingly accepted. In any case, its a "correct" way of thinking, especially when a company is still doing a lot of secondary offerings and needs the money (like Tesla).

Factories won't build themselves. It doesn't matter if you're Google / Facebook buying servers, Tesla building factories, O buying houses, or even Disney's entirely virtual intellectual property (Marvel / Mickey Mouse / ownership of cartoon characters + movie characters). Shares are a share of the company. Owners of those shares are literally the owners of the servers, factories, or houses (or other "assets") that these companies own.

To build new assets usually requires money, and that money was provided at some time by an IPO raising money for a company. That's what a share fundamentally is.
That’s kind of what I said....

it just so happens that all of the products produced by Google, Microsoft and Apple that need a lot of blue collar workers are done by contractors in a different country.
This happens everywhere; The superstar software developer (no) who knows everything (no) gets to interview you, and sometimes they are simply not right.

Your story reminds me my ~7th (?) interview with Google where for LRU caching I mentioned Java's LinkedHashMap; which resulted in he explaining me "what a ridiculous, memory-wasting data structure would that be!" - and going on for a good 5 more minutes bashing my lack of knowledge and me trying coming up with ad-hoc data structures.

Needless to say, I continuously refused all their recruiters since then.

(For the interested: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/LinkedHa..., "This kind of map is well-suited to building LRU caches." - part of Java for more than a decade.)
