Free speech is also a technological (or lack thereof) outcome. In 1700s, if you had a misguided evil thought, your chance of realizing full effect was still low because your thought must travel through multiple hops, each hop evaluating your idea and possibly terminating the propagation with some probability. So in societies without technological advancements, bad ideas and their damaging effects can stay contained in small groups. But what if technology can directly inject any bad ideas to entire population all at once instantly? Is free speech still viable or do we need new philosophical principals on human communication?

The often left unsaid basis of free speech is that each member of the audience is capable of rationality evaluating the argument, willing to invest in fact checking and is educated on background material. When these conditions are not satisfied, there will be members of audience who will make suboptimal choices based on misinformation with some probability. When scale of audience becomes large, even small probability can uproot sane society.

All these are very interesting questions and honestly I don't think anyone has answers.

The data is gathered but it's so much that any signal is drowned in noise. You either spend billions investigating hundreds of thousands of idiots spewing shit on the Internet or you miss "that one." There is no middle really.
It's easy to become emotional and not realize that 8chan != one of it's boards. Going after 8chan for that one board, is like going after Facebook because one of it's users goes on a rampage. Or blaming a whole group of people for the actions of one. When you get to this point, you are no better than the racists/Nazis you're attacking.
Ask HN: Any other email that does “Send as alternate” like Gmail?
The one thing that keeps me on Gmail is I have a single account (G Suite for Business) and I pull in all the email from all my other domains to there.

Then when I respond, I can send as $OTHER_DOMAIN.

I'm just wondering if any of the other email servers and/or email turnkey solutions support that ?
The quote is from the ZDNet article (reference [1]). It says that Facebook brought up this clause specifically as a reason why the implementation violates Facebooks's terms. Here is a little longer quote for more context:

> Unsurprisingly, Facebook didn't like this change. A spokesperson told the German publication that the way it has implemented the Facebook Like button violates the Facebook Platform Policies, specifically quoting this clause:

>> 8. You must not use or make derivative use of Facebook icons, or use terms for Facebook features and functionality, if such use could confuse users into thinking that the reference is to Facebook features or functionality.
Now you seem to be willfully misunderstanding. He states clearly that your article is specifically about mocking in python. But mocking as a concept need not relate to python at all. Hence the confusion.

A better title for your article would be "Why a mock doesn't work in python"

edit: I enjoyed the article by the way.
It does not clarify it at all. It merely uses it. If you don't know what it means, you still don't.

Agree. All it tells me is that you either worked at someplace that already open sourced something, or you have lots of time and don’t have hobbies outside of programming.

People think that somehow interviewers or hiring managers are going to dig through some random repo and assess it, but frankly there’s no time nor motivation. The most I’ve ever done is click some links, and see if the repo is just 3 files, or if it’s more substantial. There’s just not any time for anything more, and it’s all going to become clear during the interview anyway.
The specific callout of restricting "cryptocurrency purchases" in the title is click-bait.

Actual context from the article:

>And according to Reuters, it will also come with a ban on purchasing cash advances and cash equivalents, with the latter including cryptocurrencies, casino chips, and lottery tickets.

>>It would seem neither Apple nor Goldman Sachs has anything in particular against cryptocurrencies, but Bitcoin and other digital tokens would seem to fall under the cash equivalents umbrella.
We absolutely have the right to defend ourselves here in Australia. With guns even, no less.

I used to own several (bolt action, 5 shot internal magazine capacity) rifles because I used to competition shoot. I sold them off years ago because I stopped competing and just didn't need them lying around the house, rusting. There you go - freedom to own guns or not.

I could probably also get a handgun if I wanted, but I would need to renew my licence and pass strenuous background checks and prove to the police that I store it safely, AND I have to be a continual member of a gun club and shoot regularly with others so they can assess my gun handling skills (and I guess also my mental state) on a regular basis.

What I absolutely CANNOT do is to go and buy a semi automatic gun with a magazine capacity to slaughter an entire school room full of kids without having to reload. What the heck would _any_ civilian in a peaceful country want/need such a weapon? On the flipside, it also means I am free to enjoy the fact that my kids can go to school every day with a less than .001% chance that some maniac will walk into their classroom and mow them down.

To close off this post, and to end that illusion of "I can protect my family with a gun" hero storyline - About 3 years ago we had someone break into our house in the middle of the night. I was woken up by the sound of my son yelling at someone to get the fk out of his room so I jumped out of bed and grabbed a small wooden baton that I keep under our bed.

When I threw open our bedroom door, I saw a shadowy figure run past it in the dark corridor. To this day, I am glad I grabbed the baton instead of an (imagined, non existent) loaded gun, because my first instinct was let fly at the fleeing figure, only to realise a few seconds later that it was my own son, giving chase to the intruder who was fleeing ahead of him. I could have killed my own son if I had a gun in my hand in that split second of rage and confusion.

Later, we found out that the police nabbed the intruder, who turned out to be a 15 year old boy that lived a couple of streets away. Had I shot HIM, I would have had to live with the thought that I had killed someone's child. I cannot do that. I prefer to live with the _freedom_ of not having the guilt of taking someone else's life on my conscience.
I'm a pretty confused on how this all ties together. Are these these deep dives on examples on information theory? Would love some perspective that knows more on the topic.
No, it is not. Most ideologies have inherent basis that not following that ideology would harms the people. Vast majority of ideologies are ironically created with belief that it ultimately benefits more to the human race overall compared to all other ideologies.
Right, so

I'm not endorsing you, I'm suggesting you consult available reference material before you start asking rhetorical questions. A Socratic/tendentious style of argument where you solicit participation from your interlocutors doesn't play well here. If you have a point it's better to just make it and back it up with reference material as many participants have busy lives of their own.
We did this in gamedev all the time with arena allocators[1].

What response are you expecting here?

As a subset of 8chan, if /pol/ isn't properly moderated or policed, 8chan isn't properly moderated or policed.

If a subset of a thing does not have a particular quality that must be universal for it to be true for that thing, then that thing does not have that quality.

Aren't Al Quaeda and ISIS websites shutdown all the time? If ISIS was using 8chan to spread Jihadi propaganda that ended up leading to killing on US soil, they'd be shut down quick. But since the extremists belong to a political side, it's called free speech. When Twitter/FB/YT/Reddit remove such speech, it's spun as political bias.

>We arrive at the truth via dialogue.

In the US, we are currently undergoing the Democratic primaries, and consequently are having many televised debates. Almost anyone in this country who has watched one would scoff at the idea that an unmoderated debate would arrive at anything approaching truth. As it is, I've heard many people criticize the moderators in previous debates for not being more heavy handed in what blatant mistruths they allow the candidates to say on stage. You can't arrive at the truth if one member of a dialogue is not interested in getting there.
Not sure if this is the case, but I'd like to play devils advocate. While most venues are double blind, it is still possible there is a subconscious gender bias. Many studies have shown that gender can be readily detected from anonymized authors based style alone.

I've always avoid getting involved in (semi-)political discussions but I'm very curious here:

It is fundamentally OK for customers to boycott vendors they do not like (right?), then is it wrong/illegal for the opposite? Are vendors disallow to pick and choose their customers?

We, netizen as a whole, are currently under go the sentiment to boycott Facebook and Google right now: for what we believe to be righteous. If Cloudflare believe it is righteous to boycott 8chan as their customer, are they in the wrong? Is Cloudflare as an organization not allow to have the freedom to pick their customer?
There's no point in my spending time trying to write a good answer to this question because so much information is already available about it. Also, it's hard to know how to answer your question if you don't provide any information about your background (e.g., how much you know about programming or math).

You can start with the Wikipedia articles:

>So literally everyone so much as reading 8chan/pol is on a watchlist, right?

Well, crap. When I heard the news I decided to pay 8chan a visit (never really been there before) to see how they took the news(not surprisingly, not well). I really hope I am not on a list because of this.
It is their prerogative to operate their business in a partisan fashion if that is their desire. If you don't like their business practices then you can protest, boycott, and spread the word.
Anti-captcha.com and 2captcha.com are few examples of existing services that provide human based captcha solutions. We were just experimenting with image recognization and deep learning which led to this idea. This became a good learning experience :)

So-many websites ( ex: indian tax filing systems ) still implement captcha in submitting. This is a bottle neck to bulk submit results to such websites.

Please give it a try, by using the demo page. It FREE to use right now.
If, hypothetically, every site were tolerant then you wouldn't have that association.

Yep, I mean the semantic model for data structures.

Try to call idiomatic Kotlin code from Java and see how it looks like. Specially when co-routines and similar higher level constructs get added, or having to deal with compatibility between Java streams and Kotlin sequences, which don't build on top of Java ones.

When Loom arrives, it will be a similar story, Java proper fibers and Kotlin co-routines and how they might interoperate.

Nothing unique to Kotlin per se, all guest languages happen to have similar bumps. Calling Scala or Clojure from Java leads to similar lists.

Then one is required to buy into JetBrains tooling for Kotlin, and get an additional license for Clion as means to have a graphical debugger for Kotlin/Native.

There is an Eclipse plug-in, which is kind of 2nd tier, and none at all for Netbeans.

With Java it is just ready set go, no matter which IDE, with just one IDE for Java and native, alongside mixed mode debugging (a feature JetBrains doesn't see a value supporting) and not all Java shops are into InteliJ idolatry.

At this point, we have tested all 3rd party request libraries that we will be using. It is possible that DevOps could change start using a new one in the future that would not support a GET request with body.

I agree that it is well worth keeping this in mind and checking on the state of third party support.

Would you happen to know which popular 3rd party tools do not currently support a GET with request body?
i think everything you do include on the resume is good (in broad terms), but the challenge you have is figuring out the most appealing way of ordering it and laying it out.

- you don't include a bachelor's and that could be a red flag for some recruiters, like it or not. if you actually do possess a bachelor's i'd suggest including it, regardless of the major.

- if you put a date on a degree, put the month, not 'winter'. you can also leave off the date altogether.

Great article, thank you. I still don't understand who buys and sells stocks. Is there just that much volume that if I decide to sell at a certain market price, there's guaranteed to be a buyer?

Both can be true.
I would disagree a bit. The concern here is that we are leaving doors wide open for businesses to deny service based on their beliefs. We are accepting that people have no right of due process of the law and businesses can just decide to act as judge and jury to punish anyone they desire based on their beliefs. It is likely that businesses will be never exploit the extreme and be benevolent in exercising this power. However its troublesome that it can happen and that they have this power. One of the core foundation of civilized society is to remove this unpredictability, however small it may be, by establishing crystal clear laws.

The purpose of the service is data retrieval based on up to 2,000 ids where the data retrieved can then be aggregated as a csv file. The current service does one id at a time which prevents optimizing the retrieval. Allowing 20+ ids enables 20+ data items to be extracted in a single database retrieval call instead of 20+ separate ones which is currently being done.

So, from my view, the question is whether it is better to use a GET with a request body or use something such as a POST even though the request is read only.
All the above tools pretty much do the same, I'd suggest you not to spend time over-analysing the tools and just pick what you are comfortable in using.

You are partially right. What you miss is that there are the so called market makers - exchanges that ensure liquidity. They buy from you and sell to you while managing order books. These are simply trades records that have a key role in determining the price pressures for it go up or down.
> Led the development of [X] feature, integrated it across [Z] products, resulting in extra [Y] in revenue

The example isn't apt. "[Y] in revenue" has no connection with the engineering function, "[Y] in revenue" is a responsibility of the product, marketing and sales functions. (This then contradicts pt. 3: "Avoid false accomplishments" of the article)

I'd wager technical hiring managers would be more interested in technical metrics (QPS, incident response times, etc.) than business metrics (revenue, MAU, etc.)
