Thank you for this comment. It was quite insightful and really outlined what I think is the major problem with discussing climate change right now.
> She doesn't matter, and any attack on her will be seen as petty at best by those who only read the articles.

I don't care about being being popular.

And I don't even care of being judged by internet nobodys, I'm over 40, I've grown some skin for teenager's shitty destructive behaviour.

I care about not covering facts.

She'll be paying for what she did in the future.

That's for sure, I would never trust at my job someone who leaks information like some sort of enemy spy.

Stallman has a reputation, she doesn't.

Alan Turing was incarcerated for being gay, after all he did for his country.

At least Stallman roams free (for now).

But I've canceled my yearly donation to FSF and I encourage everyone I know to do the same.

It was (physically) a drop in the ocean to help them doing the right thing, not what is popular at the moment.

And I did it despite disagreeing with Stallman on different points, I knew it was for a good cause, now I don't care if they burn in hell, they're just like Google or Apple to me.

If they can't defend their most honorable member, they can't defend anybody.

If they prefer to be on the side of those building killing machines, it's their right.

But they've become useless.

If they had some self respect, they would shutdown the FSF for good.

> Any effort expended on her could have been expended on dispelled one of the falsehoods being propagated about rms.

I did it on several occasions.

And I'll keep doing it.

The two things are not at odds, I can do both.
The appellate courts, including the Supreme Court, have applied doctrines favoring settlements—-which make sense in a normal lawsuit—-in the context of class actions, where they exacerbate the already severe conflict of interest between counsel and the class.

The one thing most District Court judges like least is being overruled on appeal.

But the real blame falls on Congress. They ought to adopt a real regulatory apparatus and put away the class action (vice mass action).
Hehe, Insta. I can sympathize a bit there.
That's a very interesting development. If you ever find those ruling, could you send me a message with links to them?
Seems fitting. They're already controling minds with their computers, why not close the loop :-)
Rough spot for me is the way Startup.cs works. I mean, I'm glad it works at all, but I find the UX a bit nasty compared to how to configure SpringBoot applications.

It just feels very clunky in comparison. I have to remember so many things, which I invariably can't so I have to look them up.

I find EF Core pretty straightforward.

I sure hope this gets turned down. I'm not ready for international law where courts ruling over 65 million people (French population) can enforce their laws worldwide. If a single nation has that power, what's stopping China from making Tienanmen Square unsearchable worldwide?
Nice! Wanted to try something similar for a while using SDR to capture FM radio and start switching radio stations when the radio jockey starts speaking i.e. automatically switch stations when songs are not playing.

The Radio jockeys here (India) have started promoting ads as part of their regular content without any disclaimers or mentions that it is a promotion. e.g. They just say, 'you should put your child in this college for 100% placement' without mentioning they are being sponsored to say so.

So, just adblocker wont cut; I need (RJ+ad) blocker. I might have a jumpstart thanks to this project!
Nice addition to their current technology controlling minds with computers!
The system over there does seem to be terribly unrepresentative; NZ managed to switch away from a FPTP system a bit over 20 years ago, which was a huge improvement (and vastly better than the Aussie system I'm currently living in - which is still better than a traditional FPTP approach).

Hopefully this mess will provide some impetus to improve on it.
We're seeing an awful lot of high profile conservatives, noted for politely expressing widespread views, being censored for stating something the dominant ideology objects to - something for which there is reasonable, if irritating, disagreement over.

Canada barely has any laws requiring the existence of a prime minister.

We elect a parliament. Then one of them goes to the Governor general and says "I have support of the majority of the members", and voila: they are the Prime Minister.

Could be any member, from any party, for any reason, just so long as the majority of MPs support the person.

And once that person is PM, that just means they sit in and control the Prime Minister's office, and choose the Cabinet.

After that, they're just a figurehead who happens to be the MP with the most power.

My Hail-Mary hope for this next election is that Jody Wilson-Rayboul reruns as an independent, wins, then Trudeau gets a minority and gets kicked out as head of the Liberals. This leaves a strange minority government situation that is perfect for Jody to take charge as the first independent PM. (It could happen!)
No, I'm simply saying that your primary motivation can either be science XOR money. If you are willing to suppress results for money, even money you need to eat, you can't call yourself a scientist anymore. Someone is paying you to do something, but it isn't science.

To clarify, I'm not saying it makes you a bad person if you choose to eat. Just not a scientist. There's a reason we give professors tenure.

Ask HN: Why don’t we form a union?
It seems like a union could help work conditions (open office, long unpaid hours) and many unions don’t have an effect on compensation (we’re already well paid).

Notice how you need English education to even comment on forums like these. Now if you don't know English you just get filtered out of a lot of big things in this age. There is little you can do about it, because the west got ahead a few centuries during the industrial/renaissance age.

Don't blame west for anything, because our country was reasonably well off. It has warm tropical weather with 12 hours of sunlight, and plenty of water with fertile soil. Plus we didn't have those bubonic plagues. Despite this the kings here barely did anything on the human resources end. Heck there isn't even a remote concept of social equity in India.

Local languages can't show any miracles because you can't do any serious training or academic work with them.

> Closely study some ads sometimes, they are incredibly psychologically manipulative.

Also, study the 101 of the domain. Like the famous Cialdini's book Influence: Science and Practice, or Cliff Ennico's How To Sell Anything To Anybody talks. Moral bankrupcy is in the very DNA of the practice, so no surprise that most ads just reflect this.

> > I'm not following how normal (census, social security etc) government people registries are connected to the detention centers, much less to the holocaust.

> Because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Laws

You still not argued why registers of people in a country are a precursor to ethnic cleansing. Pointing to the nuremberg laws wikipedia page doesn't really constitute an argument.

There is something here that you think is obviously bad about this law/register, but that you haven't told me. Something that makes you connect the dot between a list of people and the Nuremberg laws. Is the problem that the register contains ethnic/religious info (if it does?)? I agree that's nothing that necessarily belongs in a register. Also of course it can't exclude/include based on traits such as ethnicity/religion. It needs to be a register of everyone.
It won't burden the system. This has happened before in recent memory and is totally fitting with the powers of the Executive (the only difference here is the subject).

And it is worth saying: to get that verdict, they had to take the leap of judgement in assuming they knew exactly why the PM did it. The key assumption in that is there is an alternative before the October 31, there isn't...so it doesn't matter if Parliament is sitting or not because there is nothing to scrutinise.

To explain: Johnson was not denying Parliament a voice at all because he wasn't suspending past October 31. He was suspending until a few days before the European Council meeting, where the final deal will be negotiated, and then Parliament would vote on it. 95% of articles on this topic do not make this clear. The timetable does not change whether or not Parliament is sitting. It only changes if you are someone deluded enough to believe that there is an alternative...there isn't (the EU has said this multiple times).

What is burdening the system is:

* UK voted to leave
* General election was called which Brexit parties won (somehow given May's ineffectiveness)
* MPs voted to leave
* MPs voted down the current deal 4 times but EU won't change that deal
* MPs refuse to re-negotiate the deal or do anything that makes a deal possible
* The "alternative" from Labour is to go to the EU, negotiate exactly the same deal that has been voted down 4 times then they will whip their MPs against that deal too.

It is utterly bizarre to take aim at the only person who actually has a definite idea about how to solve this situation (regardless of whether you agree with it or not).
I don't think you really understand him. What you are suggesting is akin to saying to someone deeply religious "If you spend 20 years making a fortune from drugs and prostitution you will have loads of money to spread your religious message." To do what you say he would have had to go against his most fervent and deeply held beliefs.
Yeah, that's right, but in our country, there are no shares in our type of company, so the ownership is derived from the initial investment (this is most of the times fictional, in our case it's 60:40 as mentioned before), so even if Jim owns the majority stake, he can't do anything about mine
Maybe we simply misunderstood each other? Still I just don't need the WaPo thing. Bezos is notoriously hands off, and even if he isn't hands off behind the scenes, these issues with Apple are nothing that other media outlets haven't reported on, so it's hard to attribute WaPo's nearly identical reporting to bias. It comes off as a bit conspiracy theorist to attribute such hidden machinations absent any actual evidence.
Prime Ministers are elected by parliament, not directly by the people although they must be elected MPs. This isn't America or France.

What about the Nayirah testimony? (Which proved later to be entirely false, and led the United States into the first Iraq war)
One solution is to set up two separate wireless networks with separate VLANs where one uses the pihole for DNS and the other does not. Clients can temporarily switch to the ads network at will. It might not be possible unless you have a decently high-end router. I know DD-WRT or Ubiquiti Unifi gear can do this.

To be fair, the reason that the UK has not left the EU is because the Tory Eurosceptics refused to vote for Theresa May's deal. Not once, not twice, but three times.

I think that the real issue here is that there doesn't appear to be a majority in Parliament for anything (witness the indicative votes earlier this year, which found no majority for any form of deal).

I think that the reason many MP's are unwilling to let the UK leave without a deal are as follows:

1) It doesn't solve anything. You still need to agree what to do for a future relationship, from a much, much weaker position (only Council of Ministers agreeement for Article 50 deal, versus Council, EU Parliament and all national regional parliaments required for a future trade deal).

2) The EU will not allow any trade deals to happen unless the Irish border, the rights of EU citizens and the money issues are resolved.

3) The UK imports the majority of their food, and WTO tariffs are really high on food, leading to potential problems with food supply (remember that it's November, when not much grows in the UK).

Like, I don't doubt that some MP's want to remain in the EU, but for my money most of them have voted for some form of Brexit deal, with the exception of the rabidly fanatical members of the European Research Group.

Additionally, with respect to the terms offered by the EU:
Yes, they will be worse than staying in the EU. By definition, if you leave a club, you no longer have access to the facilities of the club. It would make zero sense for the EU to do a deal for the UK that was better or the same as membership, because no-one would remain in the EU then.

I think that the citizens of the UK have been let down by many of their political representatives, but i don't believe that their desire to remain in the EU is the cause.

Hi HN,

Just launched this little game of mine - Astro Golf. You can think of it as Desert Golfing but in space. I think it was on an HN comment that I first heard about DG many moons ago, so it felt fitting to post this back here.

I'm a one-person team, doing this part time, and this is my first game. I hope you enjoy it. I'd be thrilled to answer any questions you have about how I made the game! It was definitely a learning experience.

Peace

"It's something that would have been unimaginable to happen in the UK a few years ago"

You say that but we had it happen in 1997 to prevent parliamentary discussion of the cash for questions scandal that ultimately toppled the Major Conservative government.

I believe that the Blair government considered it in the run up to the Iraq war too but didn't.
It's almost as if the clock is ticking on a very important deadline, and parliament wants to make sure it is dealt with before it takes any other action that might delay that.
It's really not egregious. Just like $1/song is not egregious. $1/podcast episode (often 60 minutes or more) is some of the best time/$ value among a-la-carte entertainment products.

Yes. The fixed term parliaments act needs repealing in my view. Quite a few people at the time thought the Fixed Term Parliaments Act was a bad idea.

I'm not sure what "suppression" is, if not a deliberate impedance to the free flow of information. It need not be absolute censorship - indeed, absolute censorship is likely to be a less effective suppressant, due to the Streisand effect.
And people prefer paid over free all the time. Many of us are loaded with a dozen+ subscriptions. I have Netflix, Spotify, Prime Video, HBO, Showtime, Apple Arcade, iCloud Storage, EA Access, Xbox Game Pass, Adobe Creative Cloud, NY Times all as subscriptions, and countless paid apps and solutions. I'm far from alone in this. Clearly millions of people pay enormous sums for good products.

The problem is that often it's hard to get anything but an ad-buttressed solution because everyone wants to double-dip (e.g. NYTimes, Hulu). Further the conversation often comes up for things that have lower value, but the creators hope it's their payday. There are countless podcasts that seem low effort -- usually a group of guys chatting with no preparation or work about things -- that I have to imagine people turn on as background noise, but if faced with a pay wall would abandon quickly (examples would be Accidental Tech Podcast or the like, the Daring Fireball one, etc -- the "how can I print money with zero work" podcasts).

There are others that are absolutely brilliant that are worth it but have some byzantine, many-islands, poorly supported way of funding them -- Anthropocene Review, 99% Invisible, Hidden Brain, etc. As we get into a small number of large podcast subscription services I expect a lot of them will see great results.
This article is mostly nonsense, but the paragraphs that really stood out to me as particularly stupid were these:

Throughout all modern history, when we humans see a problem coming from far away,
we have a 100% success rate in solving it. Climate change is no different.
All the right people are working hard at a wide variety of solutions and already know how
to get there, meaning more nuclear power plus CO2 scrubbers, plus lots of green power from solar, wind, and more.

If you are worried about rising sea levels, don’t be. The smartest and richest people in the
world are still buying property on the beach. They don’t see the problem.
And if sea levels do rise, it will happen slowly enough for people to adjust.

I disagree so absolutely with both of these statements that I could not consider that someone would argue them in good faith.

> I think we can all agree the referendum was not “I want to leave the EU in the most chaotic and economically dangerous way possible, preferably with no plan for what to do next”

So... do you mean "In fact it was", or do you mean "It was a simple vote between leaving and remaining"?
"Serverless" is just an aggressive form of container-based autoscaling, and thus has no fundamental difference from it, although of course pricing can unfortunately be arbitrary and thus cause artificial distinctions.

> The only reason people don’t choose free over paying is if the convenience or cost is worth it.

This is how you make a profitable business even if free alternatives (like piracy) exist. Steam managed to pull that off for videogames (their DRM is unfortunate, but it's only part of the equation here).

> 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

That's very true. It's why I argue ad-based models should be made illegal. They're distorting the market, as it's very hard to compete with "free, but monetizes your sanity and/or your data".
