Agreed. The answer to doing something too much isn't to cut it out completely and move onto something else that you'll end up doing too much, that doesn't even attempt to address the issue.
I don't have a solution for Facebook, since it feels like there's a bit too much garbage on the platform. But for Instagram, I've started fresh following a limited set of close friends and interests.

Few enough that I can still participate and get updates about friends and interests without feeling the urge to check multiple times per day. If anything "important" happens to someone I'm not following, my friends are kind enough to fill me in if it's interesting.
French here, I second this.
- Jacques Chirac had an affair
- Francois Holland also had one (quite funny he would sneak out on a motorbike to visit his mistress)
- There is growing rumours on Emmanuel Macron being secretly Gay and being married to Brigitte is a cover

On a side note, someone personal life choices has no impact on their work as politicians so that kind of "scandal" are not that big of a deal in France. It only increase the sales of gossip magazines.
Reality does not rely on society's acceptance or nonacceptance.
My work/life separation is a timer. I like timing what I do so I can compare with my estimates. The advantage of this is that once I get to a certain amount of hours in a day, I know it's time to stop as I wouldn't even be as productive as those initial hours if I continued.
I've worked for a top-3 TV/Internet/mobile provider in Portugal, yet people had to snatch monitors from colleagues who left. Meanwhile my project was in its fifth year of development, and only barely starting to invite clients, after the third rewrite. It's insane.
> none of the above was also a choice

Yes! The Seed of Doubt! If I ever have to create a multiple-choice test, this will always be one of the possible answers :-)

Just last month I had an exam where the examiner had already helped me correct a few basic errors by saying stuff like "well no you switched that around", then asked: "So what is the minimum distance here allowed by regulation?" Me: "Uuuuhh wait, it has to beeeee... 30!". Him: "So it's not 50 you sure?" Me: "wellllll Iii... (fuck you) no it's 30." Him: "Alright."

What's the guarantee that bug/vulnerability fixes in PuTTY are also reflected in KiTTY? Also, how well-tested is the code going into it, considering it's (much?) less popular than PuTTY?
Yes.

A) Infrastructure. a huge portion of the US military might is not deployed in the US.

B) Bombings and collateral damage. The military may not give a fuck about the infrastructure of another country but bombing US cities is damaging their own infrastructure. Litterally cutting of their nose to spite their face.

C) Getting soldiers to shoot at other humans is hard. Getting them to shoot at other Americans is even harder.

D) We sure wiped the floor with the Koreans and Vietnamese without the first 3 points right? How hard could a country an order of magnitude larger, with much better armed citizenry be?
Wanting to take over Taiwan, and trying to take over the South China Sea by building artificial islands and using them as military bases, for starters.

HN seems to be pretty centric to me, but yes, by IT crowd standards it's probably as right as one can get.

"Very conservative views" on gender equality would ask for a niqab, female education ban and a mandatory dowry. I doubt you'll find here a lot of people sharing these views.
This would be a great HN feature actually, fitting in spirit with the existing settings (eg showdead etc). @dang, if you read this, what do you think?
FP Complete ( https://github.com/fpco ) is hiring! We're known primarily for our Haskell and DevOps automation work but we're also using Rust internally.

We're hiring for a senior DevOps and an associate sysadmin role right now. You can see the postings here:

- https://tech.fpcomplete.com/tech/jobs/senior-devops

- https://tech.fpcomplete.com/tech/jobs/associate-sysadmin

We actually use Haskell for our software development work and we maintain Haskell libraries and tools like Stack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(Haskell)

Our ops work is automation and we use modern utilities like Terraform to declarative define the infrastructure we deploy and configure.

You don't need to already know Haskell for these roles so please reach out even if you're just Haskell-curious!
Which is also a reason you'll find rural areas mapped really well in OSM and not at all in Google Maps: Why invest in a place where you cannot run advertisements?

I'm not saying OSM is more complete than Google maps, just that the incentives are different and therefore the coverage is different.

I know you were being funny, but I actually wholly agree with this statement. Every gun owner should have safes/locks for their guns.
China's new silk road comes to mind.
There's a more in-depth discussion of why these are being deprecated here: https://security.googleblog.com/2018/10/modernizing-transpor...

TLS 1.0 relies on MD5 and SHA1 and is no longer PCI-DSS compliant.

In case anyone is curious: TLS1.1 was released in 2006 and TLS1.0 was released in 1999. Fun fact: TLS 1.0 re-uses the SSLV3 version sequence for interoperability. 0x0300 is the 2 byte sequence for SSLV3 and TLS1.0 got 0x0301. Lack of knowledge of the above once led a less experienced me to use SSLv3 for an app in 2011 because "the number was higher".
Not everyone who has guns, but everyone who resists. Even worst tyranny has some public support usually. And if people who tend to have guns are more inclined to support your flavor of tyranny (because you purpose-built it that way), you side step most of those problems.
I laugh at this as well. Most of today's gun owners clutch their weapons as a bastion against attempts for their liberty, while simultaneously crying that for decades the government has done nothing but just that!

Sure the OP scenario of sudden-dictator is bizarre, that's not how it works. If the U.S. ever falls to dictatorship, it will be like a frog boiling in water, and there will never be a single trigger point to erupt the populace into violent revolt.

Just look at what we have today! The majority of gun owners are the staunchest supporters of our most authoritarian president ever. You don't need to worry about a violent revolution when the gun owners are "voting" for you already.
If someone can't be arsed to call me or send me an email inviting me to their birthday then I don't consider them a friend.

I have not had this issue since quitting facebook around 2011. But then again I have clearly notified those people that are actually my friends that if they want to include me they need to call or email or something like that. Nobody has issues with that and fully understand my desire to stay away from facebook.
The US citizenry includes an absolute fuckton of former military.

You're simply wrong, it's not "the truth".
Ultimately it's up to each and every human to make that moral judgement. I don't have a problem with meat eating in the abstract, our species have done it for years, but I do take issue with the idea that it's
1) a luxury to examine food ethics for the first world, when most people commenting on this website live in a land of plenty in terms of food availability and
2) an animal's suffering means absolutely nothing, when I would bet that 99% of people visiting a slaughterhouse would be absolutely reviled by the modern animal condition with how animal farming is currently done. Does our perceived superiority of consciousness entitle us to the vile exploitation of billions of life forms? Would an aliens superior technology visiting Earth entitle them to enslave us, since we'd be nothing more than animals to them?
Exactly. Looking at other things to invest in the opportunity cost right now might already be higher.

Say you could have a slightly higher number of Guinea worms but stable for 1M a year. The 1M you save might save many more lives if used for something else with a higher impact.

At 28 infections per year it's almost guaranteed there's something else that's already much more efficient at preventing deaths.
I used to have a 32" display at home but I got rid of it. I find that I'm much more focused and productive with a single display. Not saying it's going to be the same for you but it's just something to keep in mind. A couple of years ago I couldn't imagine getting stuff done with only my laptop screen.
I tend to prefer to use git-bash or msys/mingw when I have to work on a Windows machine. Never became a fan of Powershell.
True, but "sex" is very unspecific, it's not really a topic.

And I doubt a talk on "drag culture" will be titled "why drag culture is is bad/wrong".

yes, but the putty terminal is still better than cmd prompt.
What is the connection between "well behaved" users and non-racists (or whatever)? Cannot racists be well behaved and non-racists (what is the opposite of racist?) be badly behaved?

I mean, sure, people will leave. But if you aren't interested in discussing something that would be opposite to your beliefs and opinions then why would you participate in such a forum in the first place?

It is right there in the purpose of the forum: a place to discuss highly unpopular ideas and opinions. Who would join such a place and expect it to not be met with discussions they'd dislike?
Is it just me who thinks social media just filled the hole that was missing in the society ? No one forced anyone to join Facebook or twitter. People were obsessed with other people way before social media, they just gave the platform to existing behavior.

This is assuming that the military and all constituents would follow martial law, which I think is not at all a certainty.
Surprised you're downvoted. The U.S. already has one civil war in its history, conducted when the 2nd amendment was in force and even more people owned guns than do today. It played out exactly like what the grandparent said was ridiculous: the respective militaries fired into every rural and urban home, set whole plantations on fire, destroyed their own infrastructure, killed their brothers and extended families, fought over their hometowns, and caused thousands of civilian casualties. There were in fact regional coups - really, the whole thing was one big regional coup, with some fractal splitting in the borderlands - but that didn't stop the bloodshed. And eventually, the guy who nobody in the rebellious states voted for won.

War is not rational. People will destroy all sorts of stuff if something close to their identity is under threat.

I'm only aware of Gui Minhai, a book store owner. He had to appear on TV in China and give a confession of guilt, but was afterwards free to go home. He is not missing. And he is not serving time, the GGP was mistaken.

(EDIT: I stand corrected, if reports of his continuing detention in mainland China are true. His is certainly a curious, unfortunately, and extreme case. It does not take away from the fact that Hong Kong still has a functioning judiciary system independent from mainland China, and the vast vast majority of Hong Kong citizens have no reason to fear the same fate.)

The extradition treaty has officially been withdrawn as a result of the protests.

That alone should tell you that Hong Kong has been able to maintain substantial autonomy from the central Chinese government.

Look, this conversation right here that you're making is exactly why people beiing willing to take a stance against these sorts of "thou shalt be dumped upon for even mentioning" things is necessary.

He's not a fool in that regard. He understands that as long as you can attach paedophilia to something, this type of outrage phenomena can completely sink any attempt at civil discourse, and can be weaponized in order to force through liberty/civic rights destructive measures. Think about it.

We could frame an Act to implement Panopticon for the sake of catching Paedophiles, and then poof! Resistance disappears because if you dissent, you're now pro-paedophile! Yet every last civic minded person who values personal freedom/liberty should be able to tell that the inevitable result of such a system being implemented is inevitable abuse.

Now replace that with LGBT rights, or women's rights, or sexual assault, or any other controversial theme under the sun.

You cannot have the Nazi exception. In any form, or on any topic. Freedom is Freedom. And you can't even dismiss it with a handwave to the freedom to experience consequences either, because you're just perpetuating the sin you're willing to punish Stallman for by tolerating the outright lies of the reporter which fueled the whole thing in the first place.

https://www.popehat.com/2017/04/18/the-seductive-appeal-of-t...

People need to put the pitchforks down, and go about your day. You should advise the people who started the entire hubbub that the proper place to deal with that disagreement was with Stallman himself in private, maybe with an administrator.

If we resort to mob justice to get our way, we end up throwing out any semblance of Order to our country, instead we just end up with a reflexive gaggle of inflammable passions waiting for the next match to be struck.

I hate to say it, but you really can't fault Stallman on this one. You can be annoyed. You can find it distasteful; but in the end he is exactly right. It is important that the more heinous the accusation, the greater the pains needed to be taken to ensure that we specifically and only read into what is actually there, and adhere to what is actually actionable by law.

Otherwise you see exactly what has erupted here. An outburst of rage against someone completely uninvolved, combined with the burning down of the metaphorical village for what?

> But the narrative that there's tension between the two and that somehow African AI is "other" and won't find a place in "Western AI" when the research is world-class is totally absurd and does African researchers a massive disservice.

This tension doesn't really come from the specific communities, it comes from the freedom to travel as mentioned in other comments (i.e. it's incredibly difficult not only financially but also in terms of visas and access to countries where conferences take place). That just (unintentionally or not) automatically excludes African "voices", thereby turning them into the "other".

It's therefore a little disingenuous to say that there's no conflict or that it's manufactured; any African academic or tech speaker can tell you there's plenty of conflict in simply applying for a visa to Europe, for example.

> The US tried to do that in the middle east and failed miserably.

The problem was less with democracy and more with trying to impose a common state on a set of opposed communities that had previously only been “united” in the sense that the one the US was least friendly toward was effectively oppressing the others, and even that might have been successful has the US had needed its own past occupation experience and preserved and reformed state security institutions rather than disbanding them with no transition plan, leading to an internal war before the US even got started with establishing democracy.

Not, to be sure, that that makes the idea of the US trying to impose democracy in all or any part of the territory of the PRC even remotely sane.
Corporations don't regulate themself. Why would they choose to regulate themself if that means higher cost or less margin or less business opportunities (like selling assault weapons to civilian population) ?

Market can bring prices down if competing corporations in the same sector don't agree to set prices for the same range of services of products. That's it.

Self-regulation is conservative non-sense.

The belt and road initiative is fascinating, including their cultivation of Africa. The scheme where they lend poor nations money to build ports and then when the port authority fails to fulfill the repayments, they simply take over the port and basically establish a Chinese base is rather diabolical. From a business perspective it is brilliant but it does seem rather obviously predatory. I consider that expansionist. Did America do the same with Panama, did UK do the same with Gibraltar? There are some parallels.
