I don’t think those examples are the more difficult ones, and those aren’t the issues that the detractors have. It’s not symmetrical. Some people think that it’s rude or even hateful to intentionally call a trans woman a man, but nobody thinks it’s rude or hateful to call a trans woman a woman. Where that becomes a problem for that side is where things get complicated.

Can trans women fight biological women in MMA? Can they compete in tennis? If you think they shouldn’t, is that hate and misgendering? Who is allowed to apply for scholarships reserved for women? Do trans women get lower insurance rates? Should we even be discriminating on scholarships and insurance rates to begin with? Is it reasonable to expect someone to use other pronouns that didn’t previously exist in English simply because someone requests it? Is a man allowed in womens change rooms because he puts on high heels but otherwise has taken no steps to transition his/her/their identity, or is there some arbitrary level of transitioning that counts? Who decides that? Everybody seems to have strong opinions on a lot of these issues and nobody is going to agree anytime soon. Yes, sometimes it’s hate, but it doesn’t take an ounce of hate for two individuals to be radically opposed on how this is supposed to work.
No such thing was done. You can find instances of awful stuff happening in any city- anywhere in the world. This is exactly what makes statistics useful.
Thanks for the feedback!

That's exactly the direction we're heading towards :)

We've already noticed that suppliers are starting to open up their product data because of the value we can bring to them through our website.

Our long-term plan is indeed to structure data sheets, so that you can actually start comparing products without having to spend hours wading through PDFs docs.

We've soft-launched our API [1], which we're using to build tools like our Data Explorer [2], to help engineers navigate design choices much more easily. Under the hood, we're working with suppliers to convert their data sheets to a standardized format.

We'll work on trying to extend this article specifically with your feedback.

Thanks again!

Police just follow the lead of politicians.

Seattle Police ignore just about everything except active shooters. Even emergency calls about homeless brandishing knives in broad daylight are ignored. (If someone does get stabbed, the police will show.)

Seattle politicians have shown that they have no interest in keeping violent people off the streets, so the police don't waste their time with it.
I'm not saying that Brazil has had a stellar line-up of presidents, and anyone would have had to react to this, and the mettle of the person would be seen in their response.

Bolsonaro's was essentially, "it's a conspiracy against me". It's a pretty extraordinary idea to begin with, and stating it as fact to the press without backing it up with evidence makes my alarms go off at least.
Exactly this. Transplants are part of the problem though - they’ve brought their political culture/voting habits/policies with them, and are ruining a formerly effectively managed city without asking why it was attractive to move here in the first place.
>There is nothing stopping someone from creating a curated "quality" focused frontend that makes money on showing customers only high quality products and then making money on the affiliate referrals for the curation. If this was in high demand I think you'd see these curated stores in the wild. I've not seen one though and since I can use tools like fakespot to help determine the quality of the reviews.

Does anyone actually do that though?

Most retail stores that do a lot of promise on "higher quality things" in my experience are just looking for higher margins and can't help but tack on more to the price for marginally better goods.

And I don't know of any site that really tries to do what you describe, thus I am not sure that they would even if there was "demand" / they would even know.
The vast majority of tracking is about behavioral ad targeting.
That should tell you a lot about the media.
Users who block ads often justify their "free lunch" because of the nefarious things that advertisers do - namely tracking and being a resource hog in their device. Sponsored segments on YouTube do neither of these. Also, YouTube creators who rely on sponsorships are often de-funded due to some pretty sketchy YouTube decisions, or just plain underpaid.

Somewhere along the way, ad networks got incredibly greedy (I know, gasp).

I remember when I was much younger, there were banner ads on a bunch of pages (and pop-ups/pop-unders of varying levels of frustration). The banner ads were fine even when we were rocking 56k internet: not beloved by any stretch, but typically reasonably okay.

I have previously toyed with ad blockers, but at a certain point stopped, figured I'd play nice or whatever. Then there were sites that over time legitimately ate into computer resources to the point they were eating way more energy than reasonable (I can't remember which one, but there was one that if I left the site open long enough, it'd crash all open tabs). At that stage, I went back to ad blockers. I really wish it didn't come to it, but man, that whole "give somebody an inch and they'll take a mile" is in full display online now.
For #1, yes it's decentralized but when running a team of people having a central clone is ideal. Yea I get it you can push and pull all day long but in reality people want to have a centralized location.

The big appeal for moving to mercurial for us was better merging than svn. Our team worked a certain way already, the tool handle this workflow and that's one of the reasons we chose mercurial. Decentralized was just nice for full backups in a lot of ways.

"An individual cannot legally be prosecuted in the criminal justice system if they are not competent because they will not be able to assist in their own defense. When a Mental Health Evaluation determines that an individual is not competent, prosecutors may move for competency restoration. In the three Seattle Municipal Court cases involving Mr. Wilson, the prosecutor did not request competency restoration."

competency restoration is putting a defendant in hospital pending return of competency:

> And why is trying to throw someone off an overpass charged with assault and not with attempted murder?

"The filed charge is Attempted Assault in the First Degree. That crime requires proof of intent to inflict great bodily harm. Attempted Murder in the Second Degree would require proof of intent to actually cause death. Because these are “attempted” crimes, the critical difference between them is the defendant’s actual intent. We are aware from indications in prior case dockets that the defendant has a history of mental health issues. Given that history, the fact that we are early in the investigation, and that the victim thankfully suffered only minor injuries, we chose to file the case conservatively. We can always consider adding Attempted Murder as the case proceeds towards trial. "

The short of it is that society mentally ill criminals are in the middle of a justice system that requires mental health, and a mental health system that refuses to hold people by force, and isn't funded to its expensive needs.
It's one of the many logical inconsistencies of law, and the cost of emphasizing compassion over general safety.

Before you say "emphasize safety more", realize that this leads to giving the State a long leash to use on citizens who might not be mentally nor criminal, but merely accused as such by the state.

In short, this is why we can't have nice things. The risk of harm from a mentally ill person on a bridge is the price society pays for not being able to field a trustworthy government.
The pathway for foreigners to come into most countries is through a visa process, which are capital investment, work or asylum based.

For example, in the US an investment of $500k (will be $900k later this year) in certain businesses will land foreign individuals a green card. Otherwise, they'll need to come in through a family or work visa, latter of which can take years and has high barriers to entry, like requiring sponsorship or a specialized degree.

Those without means are going to have a hard time leaving the country legally.

Wow. I've been on HN for some time now [1], and that's news to me.

I remember seeing "vouch" before, but not for a long time. I simply assumed you had taken that privilege away from me.

It makes sense to only show it for "showdead" users, but it never occurred to me.

I get that, but it just seems like banks make up the rules as they go... I have full coverage on my debit card, actually a limo company stole money from me a few years back on my debit card and I got reimbursed immediately, but it seems like those policies can be changed any time and almost like banks want to trap you in an inconvenient situation. :/

I thought they changed to chip cards BECAUSE they were better at preventing fraud... Banks used to pay me 3% interest on my account, until a bank bought mine out and changed policies arbitrarily...

The article you linked is based on hearsay and people with explicit political agendas, not on facts. For example, the "unprecedented destruction" claimed by Mr. Poirier (a former assistant to Brazil's Landless Workers Movement, a far-left, anti-property rights, violent organization), is easily proven false. Just check the actual historical data and see for yourself (choose "Brasil" in the drop-down menu):

DOJ: Immigration facility shouldn’t have to pay minimum wage
According to their Preamble, what IARC does is collect studies on a particular substance and categorize them according to how likely it is they carcinogenic to any degree. So they essentially publish reviews of existing literature. They evaluate whether there's a hazard, but not how much risk there actually is. The article title should probably be "Monsanto Effort to Defund Cancer Research Reviewers".

Glyphosate sits in the same category ('probably carcinogenic') as:

>Emissions from frying stuff

>Being a barber

>Being a night shift worker

>Red meat

>Malaria

>Glass manufactoruing

>Burning wood biofuel

And some other stuff and a bunch of chemicals whose usage I don't know.

In the 'definitely carcinogenic' category are lots of things that you would expect, such as coal production and ionizing radiation, but there's also:

>Being a painter

>Mineral oils

>Processed meat

>"Salted fish, Chinese-style"

Because I wasn't sure, this is the IARC's definition of processed meat:

>Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve reservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood.

There's also the third group of 'possibly carcinogenic', which includes beverages above 65C (149F), aloe vera, carpentry, asian pickled vegetables, and radio waves.

My reason is the ethics of deceptiveness. I prefer clearly labeled ads over sponsorships any day.

I hope the whitelisting feature allows people to whitelist those who have ethical sponsors, to encourage them.

Also, other than the vessel sponsorship, I've never clicked on a sponsored video's referral link. So, they won't be losing out on any money from me.

Here is my message from a previous comment:

The reason why I made this extension was because I was sick of the deceptiveness some channels used. Some channels don't even mention they are sponsored, but just talk as if they are recommending the product.
Yes, you could say it's obvious they are sponsored, but that is only true to a regular YouTube viewer. To many outsiders, they get tricked into thinking these are actual recommendations and not ads.

I think saying that something is sponsored, then talking about it is perfectly acceptable. Trying to dodge that you are sponsored or being supported by them is very sketchy. And I especially don't like the new common practice of making hard to distinguish segues into sponsorships.

It's a conclusion that's been burned into me after many years of attempting to recover from data loss events precipitated by people who just want to get their boxes ticked in the most convenient way possible and get home, with no regard for whether what they're doing is sustainable or appropriate. If you haven't been exposed to that in the course of your career, then I'm happy for you.

As for "bragging" about HN's censorship, the snippet was added after people emailed to ask why I had stopped responding to them.

Apologies for the off-topic comment — I’m not really sure if the Popeyes sandwich is an indicator of anything, but it’s a damn good sandwich.

My trash food friends and I drove nearly an hour (sans traffic it would’ve taken 20 minutes) to one of the only Popeyes in the Seattle area on Wednesday. There was a small line but a very long wait for food (understandably! It was similar to Shake Shack at lunch — lots of people waiting for their food), and we probably waited 20 or 25 minutes.

It was worth it. It was worth the 30 minute Uber I took home — putting the full trip time including eating in at 2.5 hours. I wouldn’t do this all the time — and I’m very angry I no longer live in Brooklyn and work in NYC where Popeyes was plentiful — but this was easily the best ratio of value to wait time for food I’ve experienced — and I’m a veteran line waiter for trash/novelty food (Cronut, Ramen Burger, Cookie Dough, other stupid shit I can’t remember).

It’s much easier to get to Chick-fil-A or Shake Shack, but I preferred the Popeyes sandwich. I was kind of hoping it was a trap/hype, like the KFC Cheetos sandwich (which was a disappointment). It was not.
Gonna be honest thinking of doing just that. All the neighboring cities use Seattle as a dumping ground for addicts so they are nice and clean.
I've never understood the love for Chikfila. Maybe it's just been the ones I've been to, but the chicken fingers and nuggets seemed average at best.

Now Popeye's, I'll gladly go to every once in a while with the understanding that I'll likely need to take a nap after. Their biscuits are a meal in itself, probably containing 4-6 sticks of butter, but damned if it isn't delicious.
I agree with Google. Don't discuss politics or religion at work. It's not a good look.
There are small talks and talks that elicit a response. Small talks about family which mostly draws wows and wahs are totally fine, but you want work to be centered around the work itself and not get drawn into lengthy discussion about politics. At least do it during breaks.

Work is not meant as a substitution of life, it can be incredibly fulfilling but it's still work.

> Calling arguments "absurd" or "disingenuous" is itself arguing in bad faith, and respectable publications can do better.

Calling an argument 'absurd' or 'disingenuous' is not an argument, it's a conclusion. Its value lies entirely in how well the point is proven.

Here, the article does a fair job of that task. It supports the idea that the argument is absurd because mitigations against browser fingerprinting are already in development, and it supports the idea that the argument is disingenuous because in a comparable situation Google itself did not deploy a privacy workaround, so it should know that fingerprinting is not a universal response.
Yes, but Seattle being Seattle it is not populated by the kind of people who will pack heat. That's like saying "well Austin is part of Texas so why doesn't everyone wear a cowboy hat and go hog hunting on the weekend." Both those cities are basically San Fransisco demographically speaking.

And just because concealed carry legal doesn't mean the process is constructed in such a way that normal people can actually do it (see CA, MA, NYC and NJ for examples of this) though I'm not sure about Seattle specifically.

> but how are you going into a country and stay there legally?

The same way startups figure out how to survive and eventually profit: by continuously adapting and continuously looking for opportunity. In our case, some of my relatives saved up enough "under the counter" money to pay a citizen to marry them until they were able to get a green card; after which they divorced. Others just married citizens. Others got enough education to get a work visa (I don't remember the details). You get the picture. It's a waste of time and energy, dwelling on what you don't have vs how to accomplish what you need to happen. I'm not saying that you should be ignorant of obstacles and challenges (you need to know what they are), but you need to focus on the openings & opportunities to get through. This is a generalization, but I feel that most if not all Asian cultures have this same spirit.

Here's a modern example.
