You supported free speech until you came into contact with groups that freely spoke about things you disagreed with, and now you are against free speech? This line of thought is incongruent, you could be a democrat attending republican rallies, a white supremacist attending an LGBT conference, or a POC attending a KKK rally and this sentiment would apply anywhere.

And at the end of day that's fine, because that opinion is protected under free speech

>What about those communities? I'm sure they can stay on 8chan, or find somewhere else?

Then what’s different about extremist communities?
Most people just rephrase the question in response to avoid ambiguity but that does seem inefficient.
It's still an expression of their opinions and values, even if their opinions and values are simply that they should maintain a favorable public image or that they should retain customers who would otherwise boycott them.

Oh, and you ever thought that Cloudflare should stop providing their services to 8chan, and that your opinion was worth a damn, guess what—your opinion was worth a damn.
In the modern era in developed countries squatting is now largely just trespassing, which is illegal, but there have been periods where that wasn't the case.

Most notably, following the two World Wars you had a large number of young men (primarily) that died overseas with corresponding effects like their family might move as a result and so on. So you had a large number of vacant properties with no clear idea if the owner was still alive or not. So squatting became a way of "solving" that problem. A squatter could get the rights to a place if they occupied it for some long period of time (typically over 10 years) if no one showed up earlier to claim ownership.

In the computerized records era, and with no mass casualties from war in developed countries, this is now relegated to an historical anachronism.
A point David Frum makes in his latest column:

> There is one developed country—and only one—in which it is not only legal, but easy and convenient, to amass a private arsenal of mass slaughter. That country also happens to be the one—and the only one—regularly afflicted by mass slaughters perpetrated by aggrieved individuals.

> You would not think that this is a complicated problem to puzzle out. Yet even as the casualties from gunfire mount, Americans express befuddlement, and compete to devise ever more far-fetched answers.

A similar column from a few years ago:

> A village has been built in the deepest gully of a floodplain.

> At regular intervals, flash floods wipe away houses, killing all inside. Less dramatic—but more lethal—is the steady toll as individual villagers slip and drown in the marshes around them.

> After especially deadly events, the villagers solemnly discuss what they might do to protect themselves. Perhaps they might raise their homes on stilts? But a powerful faction among the villagers is always at hand to explain why these ideas won’t work. “No law can keep our village safe! The answer is that our people must learn to be better swimmers - and oh by the way, you said ‘stilts’ when the proper term is ‘piles,’ so why should anybody listen to you?”

I'm currently looking for launch partners at the moment. So anyone with an existing app / new project can send a request through the site.
That shooter didn't post a manifesto to 8chan, and therefore didn't contribute to Cloudflare terminating their service, and therefore is entirely irrelevant to what is being discussed.
So uh, why is everyone focusing on cloudflare?

If you really want to take down 8chan, why not reach out to their colo provider? https://www.digitalrealty.com/data-centers/san-francisco/200...

There simply aren't enough FBI agents let alone competent ones. If you go to /sudo/ right now you can see Codemonkey's post on a report they received which was given to them as a scan of a print of a screenshot of a threat they wanted to investigate and it took an entire week for them to send it over by which point the post was long gone.
If you have to ask that, then you don't know what forum you're on.

It's a very real opinion and one that gets acted on politically.
Quick question for everyone who's on board with this.

Do we actually KNOW that banning "hate speech" results in less hateful actions in the short and long term as well?

I'll wait.
Say I gave him an IOU for a dollar. When he goes to the supermarket, they will accept the IOU. So will the gas station, his landlord or anybody else he does business with. Their banks will also accept my IOUs. They have all accepted my IOUs before. They all have, or know people who have, converted my IOUs to hard cash before.

The IOU is an account balance. Have I created money?
Wasn't a lot of the "payment" to the railtoads for the transcontinental railroad giving away land to the railroads to later sell to people (who'd take their trains out there to claim it)? You'd need to factor that in to the payment as well.

I should try to find some hard data, but it always feels like construction costs outpace inflation. I don't know if if it's regulation, labour costs, or what.
Particularly given that a large part of the left and of the medias uses the term "racist", "alt-right" or "facist" very liberally. Worrying about slippery slope isn't rhetorical, we can see people actively oiling up that slope right now.

> The first point violates your explicit 'ceteris paribus' assumption.

Not necessarily. The decision of individuals to allocate in a particular manner can be thought of as a continuous function (IIRC this is called an indifference curve). In this case, the individual’s preferences (given by this curve) remain constant. As the relative prices of goods (currency being one) adjust, the composition of the preferred basket also adjusts. This is consistent with ceteris paribus. If an individual’s preferences were assumed to change, then the assumption would be violated.

> A devaluation today doesn't on its own provide information about future moves.

In general terms, people cite ‘momentum’ as a trading factor. A change in price today may continue tomorrow. If you consider the feedback loops that occur as something appreciates or depreciates, it may explain why momentum can be observed.

In more concrete terms, China has very deliberately kept its currency from devaluing below this level against the dollar for quite some time. The country has attempted to undermine short positions against the currency by doing things like adjusting fixings and overnight rates massively against the shorts for a brief period. Given that China is now allowing this devaluation to occur, it signals that the nation has a new exchange target in mind, presumably lower than the previous one.
Only the US has a religious mythology of personal gun use. Guns aren't just weapons, they're practically symbols of inspired personal expression.

So it's not just easy access to guns. It's the surrounding culture of gun play, gun heroism, gun rhetoric, gun rights, gun "freedom", gun permissiveness, guns-make-you-a-real-person-who-matters - and so on.

Other countries don't have anything like the same culture to anything like the same extent. Which is why you can have equivalent levels of gun ownership without the same problems.
How to build a simple hate speech detector with machine learning
> Imagine if real life utilities did this. If because someone used your property for offensive purposes, the water company cut off the water supply, or the electricity company refused to provide electricity, or your phone provider cut off service or what not. That would be ridiculous, yet it's exactly the situation we're in with internet services. No one wants to just be a utility.

These are flawed comparisons, because water and electricity flow from the utility towards the consumer. If water worked like the internet, and the utility was just a "dumb pipe" that would mean you could pee in my drinking water - I would hope they would disconnect you. And you can be sure that if you mess with the power coming to your house they will disconnect you, too.

If we use the example of a distributed water supply, Cloudpipe would be the company that said:

Yes, but you said body and not wing.
Hello HN!

This is my first time showing something here. So, here it goes.
Win-Win does one thing, and one thing only (for now). It takes the games from your Wishlist, and/or Want To Buy, collection on Boardgamegeek and analyses the Geek Market looking for how much of a discount the lowest priced item has in comparison to the median price and the second lowest priced item.

Why

Long story short: I want to create things that people would like to use.

This was partially an answer to that, in the hopes that "people" is not just me. Also, if possible, I would like to create something related to what I like to do, hobbie or area of interest. Guess What? Board games are pretty much a check in all categories. So, here we are.

Next

Well, I have some ideas that could improve the app. But I don't even know if what it currently promises will be enough to handle what you want. I know there's most likely bugs to find and you will probably have ideas and suggestion to improve Win-Win that haven't thought about until now. So any way you can contribute, you can reach me here, or check the About page, where you'll find additional details of contact.

Enjoy!
No, because you don’t have the right to use $1 at any time.

In a bank, Person A gives the bank a dollar, the bank loans out (let’s say the full dollar for simplicity) and, some steps later, the dollar is out back into the bank (let’s say person B does this for simplicity).

Both A and B have title to a dollar, so yes, there’s more than one.

The bank created it by creating a liability for themselves. This is ok because long term the loaning of the dollar should create more than a dollar in value, so the liability will be covered.
Hey! You're not allowed to say those magic words! - Brilliant, I completely changed my mind now.
What success?

It helps when sometimes there isn't any options to start with.

I use Slack as job requirement, outside work I keep my PC Electron free.

Same applies to VSCode, only because of TypeScript and Rust, otherwise it wouldn't be on my computer.
The PlayStation Portable was equally he say to work on, replacing any component was super easy. And to a very large degree repairing the PlayStation 4 is also pretty easy, of course most components are soldered on the motherboard but if you only needed to replace the fan or the the power supply that's very easy to do.

Thanks for posting your stats. Your results match almost exactly what happened when a (trollish) article of mine[0] was posted a couple of years ago.

From memory, I got about 20K hits in the first 24 hours, and another 5K over the next few days, trailing off to nothing after about a week. It was exciting at the time but I had no evidence of any retention.

...ok, tbh TS has a much more powerful and expressive typesystem then Dart, otoh it also works with the constraint of being a superset of JS hence some things are forced to be the way they are since they sit on the foundation they sit.

I don't really like Javascript as a foundation so I'd almost be inclined to throw away a superior type system in order to have the bedrock be something else, opinions might vary though, I know.

And probably we'd all have loved to have Kotlin instead...

I think it is more along the lines of:
Say you have no money.
Your friend has no money too, and needs some.
You lend him a dollar (because you are a bank and have special powers).

Voila, new money!
I disagree that this is irrelevant to find the reasons why these shootings occur.

The Addictive Products Myth: Who Is the Culprit Here?
[...]The most obvious first principle is that a better value system should keep you alive. Being alive is foundational.[...]

Is it?

There are plenty of people that sacrify their lives for all sorts of principles. There exist quite some value systems that explicitely do not hold "being alive" for their foundational first principle!

What about immortality, if it becomes a medical reality one day? A better value system by definition, just because we are staying alive for longer?

I won't go into your derived principles, because it is not even possible to reach mutual consent about your axiomatic first principle.
Most of the latter are interested in expelling those they don't consider their own, violence to most of them is just a means to an end, otherwise "go back" or "send them back" would not have been their rallying cry.

Some really do want to kill people, but then again would you deny that the army or even the police doesn't get their fair share of these people?

Thanks for your support :)!
Thanks for the link! That makes it even more interesting. That military pilot makes it seem even more similar to a flying segway. I only wonder the amount of energy used to drive the center of gravity to maintain balance. In other words, if the same fixture was mounted as a jet backpack how much efficiency would be gained, if any?
It was designed lower to be easier to work with ground handling and servicing. This lead to a few different designs of plane-deployed airstairs and made it popular with Alaska Air and other airlines serving small airports.

> You can only promise the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow to people

Who promised you this pot of gold?

Seems to me that this is what you want and you are not getting what you want. Nobody promised you that you could have RISC-V with a board you like that can do everything you want to do at the price you are happy with.

> Real artists ship, not just go to conferences and discuss how glorious their ISA is going to be in 10 years when they get around to actually getting something out the door.

You understand that RISC-V is a standartisation organ, not a product company right? They have delivered on the standards and all the tools around them.

And RISC-V is already used in products. Just not in the specific products you would like to buy.

Often you can offload the business logic to the backend. That way you don’t have to implement it multiple times for each platform and you can change it “immediately” even if users don’t update their apps.
> The cost needs to be divided out on other things than just for energy

A barrel which costs $50 to produce will cost $50 to produce regardless of its use. There is no "dividing out" costs.
In China, there would be no 8Chan at all because if any post is related to massive shooting (probably not shooting because it's not that achievable in China, you get the idea), the post will be arrested and the website will be taken down immediately, and the website owner will be seriously questioned.

But I guess that's not what you want.

On one hand, this seems to be a praiseworthy deed, and they took all the credit. On the other hand, it shows corporations are wielding too much power, which probably they can wielding it to other factions they don't like.

> The Rwandan genocide was same race, but different ethnicities.

The idea that “race” is anything other than a set of broad-focus ethnic labels is itself racist in the narrow sense and “racism” in modern common usage encompasses racial bigotry as well as bigotry based around the perceived significance of the classical races or things labelled “races” distinct from ethnicities by the actors involved; though, often, the actors involved in which bigotry do explicit use the language of race even when talking about groupings that, say, Americans see as “ethnic” as distinct from “racial”, because conceptions of what categories are “races” is quite fluid and usually (including in the model applied by the US government, which is far from globally universal) not limited to the classical Negroid, Mongoloid, and Caucausoid races.
Good point. I've put in a request with Geogebra for the feature.

In the meantime, I'm thinking of how I might hack it with what I have now by just using URLs attached to text like "Help me! I don't understand!" to out-of-book auxiliary resources to provide another perspective on some of the slipperiest topics (like "growth rate" vis-a-vis derivatives).

I really would like to know where people stumble with these activities... and then fix it. So that feature would be really helpful. Or if someone wants to copy this and change it themselves, go for it! I put this up on Geogebra because it is a fully open platform.

Which brings me to another reason for going with Geogebra: your point.

Geogebra books are a nice balance of free hosting, wide distribution, and a reasonably friendly UX format. That said, it's hardly perfect. But it offers me what I think is my best chance to fail fast, get feedback, and make changes with the approach to teaching calculus that I present in this book. But I want to fully acknowledge your point regarding UX. I absolutely agree. The "Geogebra Book" format has its limitations and introduced new assumptions along the way that make it harder for users. If nothing else, it's A BOOK. There is an inherent "one-way-ness" to it. I don't see that being as much of an issue as you, but I agree some of it needs to be broken down. How else will revisions make it into the book? That's the whole point of it being open.

As a sidenote: I also want to point out that I have tested these activities as best I can in a variety of LMSs and in a variety of classrooms from Ivy League students gunning for top marks to adult learners who "can't do math" and gave up on Calculus 20 years ago, but due to some reason or another now need to know it. This book is sort of the "least common denominator" of all these testings, and is itself a testing.

So... you're right! Thanks. Want to work together to test it more?

I've already changed it just from reading these comments, and I'd be really interested in continued revisions!
I think modernity doesn't mean these ideas are no longer valid, they simply require more precision in what we mean. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to use whatever business services you desire... negative vs. positive rights are distinctly different, it makes all the difference.
