> Making politicians uncomfortable about their careers.

While this could be true on some deeper level I don't think that this specific event is a good one to base such an assessment on.

Being invited to talk to the UN is a great honor from the political establishment and her speech got interrupted by applause several times. I only watched the speech itself, but I have difficulties to see evidence that people there were uncomfortable.

edit: This appears to be very controversial? Would someone care to elaborate?
Leaving this here: "an agent or factor which causes malformation of an embryo".
Honestly, I can imagine only a 16 year old would have the confidence to be able to speak so sharply to people with significant political power. Teenagers are the most bullheaded people there are! They know everything!

Seriously though, I think it’s well established that teenagers are in the unique positions where they aren’t beholden to many of the adult pressures of the world, but also are old enough to have significant and strong opinions about things around them. It makes perfect sense for me that a particularly ornery teenager would go to such lengths for their given cause!
I've noticed the same in Finland
i guess the argument is that you'll never read random garbage instead of a well-formed object; and given that random garbage could result in pretty much arbitrary "undefined behavior", it should at least guarantee that your program will behave roughly as intended, even if giving incorrect results

(i'm not convinced that's a useful thing myself)
I worked in that industry 12 years ago, and already back then indeed there was a simple method to link some ID (usually cookie) to the injected content.

The startup I worked at used it for contests, out of 100k downloads of a podcast, 1 of them would get a different starting or ending segment to give away something. So it was persistent to your user-login on the podcasting portal (which was a thing back then :-))
Gavin McInnes is really a misogynist and founder of Vice.

She's really building weapons for the US department of defense.

I'm not doing anything, just doubting of her qualities as a spoke person of a movement that targeted RMS for no reason other than ignorance (taking for granted that there isn't anything else behind it)

If we can doubt Stallman as a leader, we can as well doubt Selam G.

And I'm saying it because she put herself there, nobody pressed her to write a hit piece titled "Remove Stallman and every other toxic person", she spoke as a movement leader, a toxic one if you ask me.

Remove is not a word I would ever use in regard to other people.

> The various publications should have checked their facts

That's why I think that she chose Vice for a reason, and not by coincidence.

I guess, but I can't prove it, that she was sure they would have listened and published the whole thing without checking, and even if they did, they would have published it anyway as it is.

It's too juicy.

I'm not trying to break her down, just exposing facts.

It is what it is, I haven't invented anything here.

People need to have all the informations available to make their own opinions.

Round-robin and privacy do not dwell well together. Like mike-cardwell pointed out in another comment, it just distributes the same information to more parties.

As there has to be at least party which will know the request, some information will be leaked. But what can be prevented, is giving "unrelated" requests in the hands of the same resolver. Few of the request per se are interesting, the combinations of them allow to build user profiles.

The policy should not be round robin, but somehow based on the domain itself, so that all requests about the same domain go to the same resolver, but to nobody else.

An even better mechanism would take into account who is the owner and the controller of the domain. So that requests about, let say, facebook.com and fbsbx.com land at the same resolver, but github.com and microsoft.com by another.
Well she herself was right in one thing: She should still be in school and not radicalized by climate change activists and they should know better not to use children like this.

While yes, climate change is a serious matter, in this addressing to an institution like the UN, it is no use in having an alarmist rhetoric in-front of them and then shaming everyone altogether due to the appealing to authority of her age, emotions and questionable 'facts'.

This doesn't change the opinions of others but promotes fearmongering and by even saying '...change will come whether you like it or not...' sounds pretty much like an eco-facist attitude to me.

>this seems to be about blocking ads just for the sake of blocking ads

No shit Sherlock, it's literally in their name: Adblock.

By the way, ads are violating privacy: the privacy of thought. They manipulate your thoughts creating associations between their brands and positive emotions. They try to make you feel bad and inadequate to incite you to buy their product. They lie, deceive and manipulate.

Advertising needs to die. Period.

I find using kids for political reasons to be problematic.

I find using emotions instead of facts to sway the political discourse to be problematic.

There are legitimate reasons to be concerned or even angry at this. Maybe not good enough reasons to create an account on Twitter and scream into the void, though.
I liked this article but kinda want like 50 more examples.

I think the talk vs speak and the something vs anything seem so obviously true but I don’t think I would have realized it on my own, even given a lot of time.

How many other small changes in wording can have a profound impact on communication?
I agree that it's perfectly fine to block ads. And that ad blockers' primary feature is blocking ads.

At the same time, I think most ads aren't malicious. They aren't "intending to do harm". Ads sell things. Sometimes things people want. I'd guess that most people who use ad blockers just don't like being sold things.
You could tell him that if he proceeds he'd inflict the same pain he's in now to his friends & relatives. Maybe that would work?
My dream would be that people that are fine with ads should have them, while people against should be able to subscribe to the content. Like Spotify actually, but radio does not offer that.

This is true. But when discussing the economy, the Indian economy is extremely interconnected. Arguably, the Indian economy is far more integrated and 1 corner of the country is far more affected by impacts from another corner than in Norway, because the lower population numbers mean that people in Norway simply don’t rely on other Norwegians as much as they do on foreigners, which is far less true of India.

China’s population is 4x that of the USA. It makes complete sense that their per capita gdp is therefore less. It should remain that way.
Ok, so how is this post not off-topic for HN?
China still has a mandatory retirement age of 55 for women and 60 for men. This doesn’t mean much in the private sector, but is sort of strictly applied in the public sector. Obviously it isn’t sustainable at any rate.

In recent weeks, I’ve had a vague feeling that climate activism may be jumping the shark with the elevation of Thunberg and her brand of rhetoric. Or perhaps what’s happening is that battle lines are being hardened, in a way that seems almost guaranteed not to help anything. When I listen to Thunberg, it just deepens my sense of dread about the political, social, and other structural barriers to confronting anthropogenic climate change. And while I agree with her (and experts generally) that we’re not going to engineer our way out of the problem without sacrifice, the fact is that the few, heavily qualified glimmers of hope that I see, tend to have more to do with technology and energy economics than with policy. What a mess. I hope this won’t be read as criticism of Thunberg herself.
This is an AMAZING answer. I'm sad I can't buy you a sandwich.
It is up to developed nations to set an example. If they cannot do it, nobody else will.

And Chinas government does indeed take clime protection serious. They tend to understate their measures because of cultural reason, but their results can stand on itself and they don't really need to hide behind anybody.

Of course they still have a lot of problems due to their developmental level and we should be careful to not let the government use climate change as a justification to suppress the population, who hasn't developed a widespread consciousness for environmental protections, if we can even claim our societies did.

Disallowing China to build coal plants doesn't solve anything.

In my opinion, retaining equity, this early in the process, does seem unfair. By far most of the value of the company is yet to be created and if you choose to not be a part of that, it's hard to see why you would have a stake in it at all.

Leaving you 'empty handed', or only paying you the share of the incorporation fee also sounds unreasonable - you did invest time and effort and that largely remains unvalued in that case.

In the past I have dealt with similar situations by agreeing on the amount of hours and effort spend, and attach a market value to that. The leaving party then is paid that amount (either in whole, or stretched out over a period) and no equity is retained.

If you want event more pollution and not even toilet paper available on consistent basis, then socialism is indeed a good alternative.

I think the point was that enterprise users probably don't work over weekends. Of course that might be a bad assumption.

That way if something goes wrong on Friday you've got a weekend to fix it, before the users come back on Monday.
It could just be a path forward. In America a lot of the time we can't get any progress unless it's a racism issue. Things like gerrymandering or marijuana legalization get their first pushes because the most blatant group that suffers are POCs. The fact that it harms everyone is a little lost on most people, but in the end the racism cudgel can be effective for positive societal change. In this case, we can use it to get rid of automatically being identified for crimes or whatever by an AI.

If you ware bringing China’s long history into this, China historically has fought many many wars with its neighbors (there is a reason Vietnam is so paranoid of china’s “70 years” of non intervention).

China is hardly that successful in Africa yet, it just publicized the success it has had greatly and ignores all the riots and failed funding situations completely.
That's true. I suppose some professions do not have propers venues and forums to vent their frustrations.

People prefer free over paying all the time. Just see all of us wanting to avoid paying for the environmental externalities.

The only reason people don’t choose free over paying is if the convenience or cost is worth it. For music, organizing and having easy access to all music files is worth $10/month or less to many people versus risking copyright infringement charges. But raise that to $100/month, and see what people do...

The ease of transferring data on the internet and high bandwidth connections tilts the favor in choosing the free version.

Perhaps paid podcasts are possible if it’s easy enough, I might not mind 50 cents or $1 via Apple Pay in my podcasts app, or a subscription service that eliminates all ads.

Even if we ignore the piracy angle, an additional problem is if a vendor provides a service for free or cheaper with ads, people choose that one over one that is paid. So for items meant for mass consumption, such as podcasts, the more lucrative ones will be the ones with ads. Similar to how no one can compete with free offerings from Google or Facebook.
I absolutely hate advertising on the radio.

But thank goodness in "socialist" Scandinavia I have several ad-free radio stations to choose from. We've got a tax-funded national broadcaster (used to be a fee on radio ownership, then TV ownership before, but now it's tax funded) and some volunteer-run organizations that have their own radio station. Our national broadcaster also has a world feed from other national broadcasters (in their own language), the BBC World feed for example.

Not only do they provide ad-free content, but the broadcast is usually more interesting than the commercial stations. Where the commercial channels have a very short playlist that repeats over and over again (something to do with licensing deals from the record producers), the non-commercial channels have radio show hosts/DJs who can choose what they play. Some of the programs are rather specialized, like a show that plays only Cuban music and another one that plays Estonian music.

In addition to ad-free radio and TV broadcasts, they also have a news website without ads.

Not everyone agrees with me, but I'll gladly pay some taxes for this service. The ad-free radio and TV is only a bonus, what I really want to pay for is the independent news outlet.

Depends on what you mean by "computer", but being able to reliably calculate even just simple arithmetic has clear benefits. In the 1800s there would be countless clerks doing some sort of bookkeeping who'd benefit from it.

Yes! Activate the "annoyances" lists in uBlock Origin. I believe many of them are off by default.

"AdGuard Annoyances" or "Fanboy's Annoyance List" and "Fanboy's Cookie List" should do the trick.

Advertising is necessary (paid or not it's the same shit) for small businesses to get off the ground, at all. Cut off ads and you'll strangle thousands of startups/SMBs. Physical ads haven't lost their effectiveness. If they had then we'd be in real trouble.

I don't like ads either but remember there are multiple perspectives here. We should focus on purging bad actors than the entire practice. For now though, I see ad blockers as the tools of change and fully support them.

I read the context of that whole quote in the past, and iirc judicious foresight did not mean the judicious foresight of leaders in positions of government authority. In the most basic interpretation it can just mean that most people are well-informed. The current system is somewhat hypocritically established upon this idea. If that were the case, PR would not exist at the scale it does.

Keep in mind that in Germany these "church operated" services are heavily subsidised by the German state via regular taxes (not the "church tax" registered church members pay directly to their church via the tax office). In some cases this can be as much as 100% of the operating costs and salaries (although the business is operated in accordance with church labor laws rather than secular laws, allowing e.g. certain forms of discrimination and removing certain protections).

Maintaining churches, monasteries and church operated services is almost never about finances.

Greta's innovation is bringing two important points into the discussion:

1. Why we talk about climate change being serious threat, yet we are acting as if nothing is going on?

2. What is the point of studying science, if politicians do not listen to science?

That, and her determination to strike (based on the two above points).

You can argue that neither argument is particularly difficult or complicated. They are rather obvious in hindsight. Well, there is a name for things like that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_of_Columbus
> This is a bit like saying you wouldn't use LLVM languages because of the semantics of IR, or that you have to understand the guarantees IR provides, isn't it?

Those languages tend to be a lot simpler than C, both in terms of what constructs they offer and in terms of how simply they translate into (platform-specific) assembly language. I'm not against the idea of intermediate languages in general, but IME C is the worst of both worlds: more complicated than most high-level languages and most assembly languages.

> In terms of guarantees, those should be satisfied higher up in the language itself, with C generation being output according to Nim's CGen spec. The compiler is fully open source though and easy to dig into.

The problem is being confident that those guarantees are preserved all the way down. It's very hard to be confident of the properties that any given piece of C code has, because it's extremely rare for C code to be 100% standards compliant and different compilers do radically different things with the same code. And it's hard to reason about the effects of changes because C compilers are so complicated: maybe you understand the Nim compiler and can see how two similar Nim functions will generate similar C code, but that doesn't help you much when two similar C functions can be compiled to radically different assembly (which happens a lot).
