I sort of see where you're coming from, but surely there are a plethora of other places with light moderation and far less hate speech where people could go to discuss things? You seem to be making a slippery slope argument, but I don't really see the start of the slope. I'd also be interested to know what you think of this quote from the Cloudflare CEO:

'If this were a normal circumstance we would say "Yes, it’s really horrendous content, but we’re not in a position to decide what content is bad or not." But in this case, we saw repeated consistent harm where you had three mass shootings that were directly inspired by and gave credit to this platform. You saw the platform not act on any of that and in fact promote it internally.'
Intent absolutely matters - think murder vs. involuntary manslaughter, or even first degree versus second degree murder. A lot of legal definitions of crimes even include the statement "with intent to..." - "drug possession with intent to distribute" is a good example.

It's also completely besides the point here, as we're discussing the statement:

> There was also definitely communities overran with drug related crime that were desperate for help.

arguing that these sorts of drug-related crimes motivated some communities to embrace "hard on crime" attitudes.

If you try Idris, although mostly people are just using it with text editor with simple plug-ins, the auto-completion is incredible: you can auto complete a whole paragraph of code based on the signature rather than just a method, and then you can just do some minor changes.
> As an aside I have lots of friends who own fast cars who haven't gotten into accidents by avoiding them. Thankfully they were driving lighter vehicles.

And we all have friends who regularly avoid accidents in motorcycles. The difference is that you HAVE to avoid an accident to survive them, especially for motorcyclists (the extreme case of smallest but most agile vehicle). While if you're in a big car, you can have an accident and survive.

Its a very big difference. If you ever are a bit tired or distracted, the "trust my reactions to save me" technique will fail.

But if you're tired / distracted, but armored up in a 5000lb or 6000lb vehicle, you'll probably survive whatever hits you.

The survival rate of 18-wheelers (even when they're distracted and tired from driving 10+ hours a day) is quite high. Multi-ton armor just makes things safer.

Glad you enjoyed it! You're spot on: it's a UK take (the authors are based in the UK but work with lawyers from all over), but intended to generalise to most legal systems.

Some of the best lawyers we know in transactional law, IP and, in some cases litigation, come from STEM backgrounds, either academically and / or via prior experience in a STEM sector.

That's an amazing achievement to have paid your way through law school via software royalties. Kudos!

As you say, there are lots of overlaps between the two disciplines. We're trying to write up a continuing series of articles snapshotting these overlaps to help bridge between the techies wanting to work with lawyers and the lawyers wanting to work with techies.

The thing is in the 1950s you still had a lot of respect for scientists, who after all had only recently built an impossibly powerful bomb. And the most famous one of them all was still alive, too.

Go and ask someone who a famous living physicist is nowadays.

I'm afraid the way modern media works is the opposite of what we need for scientists to have authority.
Defending patent trolls here for a moment but agreeing nonetheless.

Patent trolls have a higher bar since they at least need a patent which is somewhat difficult to get. You actually have to prosecute, that's the legal term, your patent application through the patent system and nowadays survive an inevitable IPR challenge from the FAANG companies. It takes a year or two and a bit of money.

A copyright by comparison is utterly effortless, meaning that this sort of suit is also utterly trivial. Not good.

> None of this would be possible in a civilized country.

I think the same concept exists in many civilized countries. In Germany it's called Erzwingungshaft (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erzwingungshaft) and can be up to half a year for refusing to testify (though you can refuse to testify against yourself or close relatives without repercussions, similar to the 5th amendment).
My bad I misunderstood your answer to my first comment. I understood you were taking about the marketability of the produce, not of the means of production.

In any case, that is the reasoning of my second point when originally answering to you: A hypothetic situation where most people would own means of production, would still be capitalism when means of production are free to exchange hands.

That is too say: it's capitalism by definition as long as the means of production can exchange hands freely, it doesn't matter if they are all concentrated on the possession of a few or not.

Some of these entities - schools and utilities, I'd say - can't assume that those they serve all have internet access, so relying only on Twitter or Facebook isn't enough. My local school system, for example, issues important announcements by those means (so I hear - I'm not on either system), but also recorded voice calls and texts, to ensure the message gets out somehow.

If they post information only on Twitter ... well, it's not that important. I bet some of us lose perspective on the relative importance of messages when they are coming in from all directions.

One posted here on HN about to offer bankruptcy services. One of the problems with that besides them not having Florida counsel is that the consumer bankruptcy market's been in a race to the bottom after BAPCPA passed (something like 2007 or 8 I forget). Between petition prepares acting as pseudo attorneys and actual law firms bifurcating their services in what used to be an impermissible way (small amount pre-filing, more "optionally" on installments after filing but immediately before meeting of creditors) the only feasible bankruptcy practice is one that's willing to litigate creditors in bankruptcy court on non-bankruptcy matters, one that has the stick toitiveness to seek appointment by the court to recover exemplary damages for the estate - provided there's a cut for the client - and there aren't bankruptcy courts everywhere. The firm has to be < 15 minutes from the courthouse or the clerk will so screw up your schedule you'll never be able to attend creditor meetings, hearings, and meet with clients.

Were there other startups you had in mind, or could link me to?

The technique you're looking for is Acoustic Fingerprinting [1]. There's a pretty easily understandable python implementation[2] of it if you're interested. In Shazam's case it is looking for peaks in the sound's spectrograph, so I don't think it would likely confuse two songs based on melody alone. It would have to be very close in rhythm, melody, and possibly even be in the same key.

I would be more sympathetic to Katy Perry's case here if I could ever get past the fact that a major part of "Firework" sounds so much like Erasure's "Always".

I'm all for creative freedom, but massively profitable pop music labels shouldn't be able to just crib the essence a catchy melody and make it the whole basis of their song just because the person who wrote the original version wasn't that popular. If it really was a coincidence in this case, then it's unfortunate, but it isn't life-changing to someone as well-off as her. If the original composer really was copied from though, actually being credited and received recognition as deserved, could be life-changing, so I don't blame him for suing.
so lets follow that logic... you are driving a car down the street and because you could screw up and hit me you are attempting murder and should be charged ?

I believe Carter, Reagan and Hillary Clinton have made remarks during their candidacies about getting more information out on this particular topic.

And then the candidate wins the election. God only knows what they get briefed on, but I have noticed some stark changes in composure and body language after the last four candidates won their respective elections and started receiving their initial briefings. It could be me, but they really look like a big lead weight has been gently placed on them.
> You seem to be making a slippery slope argument, but I don't really see the start of the slope.

Okay, so you ban 8chan. Now they move to another chan... there's about 5 different "bunkers" running the same or similar software to what powered 8chan and with many of the same users that various boards have moved to right now. Some of the larger of those bunker chans are actually on distributed networks.

So now what? You have to ban distributed networks? You shrug your shoulders and say "oh well, we tried"? This is where the slope comes in. There's no good ending to it. Worse, as we've seen with 8chan, the farther you push people from the mainstream, the more extreme they seem to become.

MMO's were the propaganda to sell you the same RPG's without having to give you ownership, if you can't see that when Guild wars had 8 player multiplayer but jury rigged a login/drm system on their PC RPG, you're clueless.

That is why PC RPG's were rebadged mmo's, so that they could use it as a battering ram to change game culture. It's all about profits for these game companies, they wanted control of the software to put microtransactions in them. Notice after Valve, EA and activision got control of the software, they immediately shoved microtransactions into games.

You don't have to deal with lootboxes or MTX if you own the game outright. MMO's were part of the long term war on software ownership on the PC. To not see that and think they are special because you have very powerful feelings for these games, means you're ignoring the overwhelming evidence that the game industry was successful in changing public opinion regarding game ownership. AKA got you to see software as a service as "OK" and that's all they needed to get their foot in the door to take control of the software, once they got a generation of kids that's ok buying software they don't control - the skies the limit at abusive microtransactions, lootboxes and in game stores.

That also means level editing, free maps and mods need to be scaled back because it interferes with profits.
HN archive is full of previous discussions on how to start with web development.

https://hn.algolia.com/?query=learn+web+dev&sort=byPopularit...

I keep recommending https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web but previously you wrote you learn python. So tutorials for python+web like https://docs.djangoproject.com/ are better. Don't be discouraged by slow learning, you essentially learn 3-5 languages and 100 concepts and every developer started from zero.
AFAIK, she hasn't invoked the fifth, nor asked for[1] immunity as part of a plea deal. It's just not relevant.

The principle here is that we have a legal duty to testify truthfully in response to a subpoena, and failing to do so is a crime that can be punished. There are specific carve outs, like the fifth amendment, or the various legally defined privileged communication areas (e.g. legal/medical details). But in order to avoid jail time you need to make one of these arguments before the court and win.

[1] Edit: I looked it up, and in fact Manning has already been granted immunity for this case. So the fifth is right out the window, there is no crime in which she can implicate herself by testifying.
In some capacity, is it better to let something like 8chan exist given law enforcement and the government can actively monitor it and try and prevent such events from occurring? Would changing the laws around what constitutes domestic terrorism allow law enforcement to act more swiftly to premeditated descriptions of such acts on similar forums? Even in the NZ shootings, would it be better to let something like that be uploaded and broadcasted as anyone thinking about going a religious service sees the eminent threat of a terrorist attack in real-time? I don't have answers to these questions given the large trade offs, but I do believe it is another side of this debate to discuss.
"The fear of being seen as a coward or hypocrite hasn't motivated those who are standing in the way of reducing gun violence so far, after all."

How are 2A proponents standing in the way, exactly? By not banning guns that have been around for 100 years? Maybe there's something else going on. Maybe the increase in despair is a cause. Or loneliness. Or anti-depressants. Or poverty. Some blame Trump directly. So which is it? Is it really 2A? Are there other causes we could throw our energy toward?

Will banning the tool eliminate the cause? Or just move the depraved on to the next tool?

Finally, a New Way to Generate Revenue for Your Online Business
No one is forced to do anything, its not a public utility. The company is free to implement their service in whatever way they want, and you as the consumer or user can ignore it and move on to something else. If you feel strongly about it, write them a letter. Sorry, what you're saying is not resonating at all, and frankly sounds a bit entitled to me. I don't think this conversation is productive for either of us. Bye!
I suggest you change the title to "Ask HN: How much..."

In terms of your question, there is not an exact % but rather a quite large window. I would consider these two things heavily:

> I worked extensively over the last 5 months and contributed significantly to major milestones

> My skillset is kind of a rare find

Those two things in my mind position you as a quasi-co-founder, and them offering you a 1% is a warning sign for me - meaning they might not value your contribution as much as they should.

Not having any other detail, I would suggest you to ask for a 6-8% equity, but I would also ask myself: why can't I be a third co-founder? What did they do that prevents this option in the first place?

> I don't think any competent authority will tell you that simply running a program you don't trust as another user should ever be relied upon as a sandboxing mechanism anyway.

You're right that merely using "runas" does not provide any additional security (at least none that can't be circumvented). However if you run an application in a separate desktop session under a separate user account that does not have admin access at all (e.g. the account type is "standard user") then it should be sandboxed from other users (in technical terms, it's a security boundary).

The most practical way to do this on a consumer desktop would be to have a separate "Steam user" account that you log in to for the sole purpose of running Steam. While most people wouldn't want to do this (as it's inconvenient), it should at least be an option for those that do want it. To put it another way, there's no good reason to undermine the enhanced security provided by separate user sessions.
I understand your premise, but society is litigious for me to be willing to make a public accessible anything on my property. Little johnny falls off the slide or swing, and little johnny's parents sue me (or at least my home owner's insurance policy). I'm not willing to accept that liability.

I'm also not the type to consider lawn work a pain to maintain. Of course, I'm talking an actual yard, not the back 40. In fact, that's my guaranteed weekly bit of escape from tech. Once the yard is being cared for, a simple bit of mowing doesn't take that long. A few times a year, it takes an additional stroll around the yard with some fertilizer.

#1 Thanks to the internet, Async has because far more important to understand.
#2 CPUs have gotten waaay faster and ram is now plentiful so there's little need for heavy optimization in most cases.
#3 you're almost guaranteed to have at least 2 core available so multi-threading is a real option now.
#4 monolithic code bases are the devil now
#5 some 3rd gen and I think all 4th gen laungages include automatic garbage collections so memory allocation is not a concern for most people

Ok I guess none of those are huge paradigm shifts but in many ways we've gotten pretty spoiled over the past 25 years. A lot of the old struggles have been mitigated at the expense of a lot of cpu cycles. NPM is a great example of the unneeded waste that has accumulated over that time.

We went from think about every byte to just tossing everything in and letting a transpiler remove all the fluff. You can certainly make the argument that computers should do that work but I think theres a middle ground between neurotic 1995 and kitchen sink 2019 that we'll hopefully eventually find.
Thanks for the feedback. Honestly not optimised for anything other than trying to attempt a complete answer to a question we often get asked and see asked time and time again in the press, albeit usually answered in hyperbolic terms, i.e. "lawyers should never code" or "all lawyers should code", neither of which we agree with.

This is an important consideration that often gets missed in these discussions in my opinion. The methods and means to organize a group of people against oppression often are the same ones to rally a group of people around hatred and violence.
I live in an apartment complex, and just yesterday my 1 day delivery was marked as delivered and "left in parcel locker", but it isn't in my mailbox (it is too big anyway), and I have no auto-email unlock code for the Amazon locker type service they have setup in the common area, but it was marked delivered on the website.

I have no way of giving feedback that the delivery drivers here are lazy and marking packages as delivered to keep up their metrics and then actually delivering them the next day. It is very annoying.
As a customer I don't like this as I've had these guys leave packages in my driveway in pouring rain when the covered front deck was only 20 feet away. They also frequently deliver my packages to my neighbor's house and speed around like maniacs.

On a societal level it's a shame that jobs that could actually support a person or family are being replaced by hustle economy types. My own parents never went to college and have worked service jobs their whole life, but could still own a house and eat dinner with us every night. They even bought a computer when I was a teenager in the 90s. I think in today's world they'd be driving for Lyft all night and I'd have grown up in a different town with a worse school system.
