Your English appears to be excellent and your original point seemed quite clear to me.

@core-question's reply under yours wasn't an indication that yours was unclear; it was just taking the conversation in a slightly different direction (which is normal).
Is there a reason someone shouldn't make such a clarification if they choose? "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend your right to say it" gets brought up an awful lot in free speech discussions on HN, and that's fine, but we need to emember that it definitionally includes defending the right to say, implicitly or explicitly, "That guy over there is saying really stupid/dangerous things and this is why he should stop and why you shouldn't listen to him."
Meh, just watch how construction happens in the central district of any European city. It's not as simple as just backing a flatbed up to the door, but they get by just fine.
Ask HN: Do you need marketing and growth help?
I'm offering a free hour of hands-on marketing and growth help for up to ten founders or early stage teams.

Need help with branding? Target audience? Go to marketing? Customer acquisition? Content? Social? Customer marketing? Optimization? Operations?

I'm just looking to help the community and get involved. No strings or other expectations.

If you're game, email me to book some time. sean@gsdmarketing.com
Exactly! The same thing could be said about touch-screens. We can do all these things with a keyboard, why need a touch screen. As a matter of fact, that was the argument Ballmer made during the launch of iPhone. I am not saying Soli would be the same. But it's hard to tell how things would turn out. Or it might take few iterations (maybe from other companies) to get there.
Fair enough, I was just genuinely curious. I only started listening to him recently and didn't realize he was someone people would want to argue about.
I thought from the headline that this was going to involve paying someone else to pray the rosary for you, or else just clicking and having it count as having prayed a rosary.

But it looks like it's more like a gamified app to teach people this prayer (albeit at pretty high cost and risk of obsolescence).

I think it's interesting that in parts of Buddhism there is a sort of substitute for personally reading or reciting religious texts such as sutras and mantras: the prayer wheel and the prayer flag, where just having a copy of the text move is considered to generate some kind of spiritual merit or benefit. I'm not sure how universal this is in Buddhism or what the differences are between personal recitation and, say, turning a prayer wheel.
Granted this did supposedly give us the Unabomber so there's reason to be skeptical of such practices. Not to say that what these researchers are doing is MKULTRA.
Wow, that is such a clear analysis that someone should transcribe it. Here's the main part of what Naval says:

"If Google, Facebook, and Twitter had been smart about this, they would not have picked sides. They would have said "We're publishers. Whatever goes through our pipes goes through our pipes. If it's illegal, we'll take it down. Give us a court order. Otherwise we don't touch it." It's like the phone company. If I call you up and I say something horrible to you on the phone, the phone company doesn't get in trouble. But the moment they started taking stuff down that wasn't illegal because somebody screamed, they basically lost their right to be viewed as a carrier. And now all of a sudden they've taken on a liability. They're sliding down this slippery slope into ruin, where the left wants them to take down the right, the right wants them to take down the left, and now they have no more friends, they have no allies. Traditionally the libertarian-leaning Republicans and Democrats would have stood up in principle for the common carriers, but now they won't. So my guess is, as soon as Congress (this day is coming if not already here...)... the day is coming when the politicians realize that these social media platforms are picking the next president, the next congressman. They're literally picking, and they have the power to pick, so they will be controlled by the government."
If Coraline Ada Ehmke were here, she'd say something like: "That language is there for a reason. Transforming open source into a more welcoming place for marginalized communities is the main goal of all my work, from the Contributor Covenant to Ethical Source. But thank you for making your opinion known. I can now confidently recommend to conference organizers that you be banned in advance from any conference I plan on attending."
Shouldn't "monarchy" be compared to "democracy" instead of "capitalism"?

The economic model pertains to a whole different plane, isn't it?
What if you set up 2 channels - #request-active (where task threads are submitted) and #request-closed (where task threads are archived and no other posts are allowed).

When the work is completed, the fulfiller inserts a reaction. X hours later, that work is moved from #request-active to #request-closed through an automated bot.
Our perception of food completely changes the experience. People have experimented with dying white wine red, and people tend to describe it using terms associated with red wine.

Similarly, there have been some studies suggesting kids will prefer foods packaged or wrapped certain ways, as they associate the packaging with foods they like.

As far as I can see the above should come with a footnote saying "for some value of any".

Looks very cool, despite being entirely web-centric.
Interesting juxtaposition between generic tech companies/apps that have stupidly lofty goals like changing the world, and this app that has the lofty goal of world peace.
Language is partly power and identity. Definitely somewhat political.
This isn't about one political faction, though. Both major political parties support women in tech programs; again, bills to set up women in tech programs for government organizations generally are unopposed.
Unfortunately there is no straightforward way to do this, unless you're willing to travel abroad where Ayahuasca/Psilocybin Mushrooms/5-MeO are legal and do your trip there. My recommendation would be to read How to Change Your Mind and The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide, join your local psychedelic club (meetup.com maybe), and ask around. The better informed you are, the more easily you'll be able to trust your gut and know you've found someone you can trust. If in any doubt, back out. Stateside there don't seem to be very many nefarious actors, but substances are quite illegal.

If you can afford it, these 5-MeO retreats are probably a slam dunk, although 5-MeO is not for the faint of heart. Check out the psychedelic toad - hamilton's pharmacopeia for more on that.

All you really need, though, is a high-dose mushroom session with eyeshades and music, supervised by someone's that's done it before whom you trust. Their sense of attention and compassion are more important than extensive experience using them. They're just there to hold the space. Again, see James Fadiman's book for the how-to.
This is what's been tried from about 1960 to now. It turns out to not be anything near sustainable financially, because the low density development doesn't provide enough tax revenue to pay for maintenance on the infrastructure. Once an inner-ring suburb needs to raise taxes to replace its water pipes, it starts emptying out to newer suburbs farther out that don't have to support legacy infrastructure and things like pensions. If you look at closer-in suburbs built 30 years ago, you'll see abandoned former Walmarts and Pizza Huts that followed the growth outwards once their buildings were fully depreciated. Austin might be slightly different because it's changing to fit the mold of an expensive coastal city from the inside out, but the pattern holds in other areas that aren't as trendy right now.

People try, they label him various things and will call you "alt right" if you don't qualify your reference to him. Its a pretty desperate label but they try.
I would advocate for Joe Rogan, he is a voice of openness and willingness to talk about things rather than just shutting down conversations because you might not agree. He is also a great listener. The world needs more people like Rogan.
Morality is not defined by the government - legality is. There're a lot of things that a lot of different people deem immoral - based on their religion, upbringing, media consumption and whatnot - which are not illegal. There's nothing wrong with the company conducting business compliant with the law, even if it may be viewed immoral from someone's point of view. It's a free country after all.
190 light years is in our backyard compared to the size of the universe, but I was curious about how many stars are that close to us. It turns out that we have around 100k stars within 190 light years.

0.120 stars/parsec^3 * 4/3 * pi (190 ly * parsec/3.26ly)^3
Is there a reason someone shouldn't ask about the reasoning behind such a clarification? I never disputed their right to make it, just didn't understand why.
Kinda funny how antithetical that is to tradional conservative values regarding entitlements.
>For example, if you belittle or insult people freely or mock those who you might not agree with

...so basically, acting like Trump.
That has worked great at countless workplaces /s
No, that paper says "What if Planet 9 is a Primordial Black Hole?" and then works out some consequences and finds them to be not ruled out. It doesn't start from observations and arrive at the PBH in any natural way.

To judge for yourself hour serious the authors are in proposing a primordial black hole to explain the anomalies in the outer asteroid belt, I refer you to figure 1 in their paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.11090.pdf

This still leaves the "talking about politics is banned"-point-of-criticism. Since you're the CEO: How did problems discussing politics manifest at GitLab that you feel this step is necessary? Or is this a "preemptive strike"?
Unless one day they take it a step too far, and the entire tracking-based monetization scheme is banned by the government or the EU. I hope they have a backup plan other than lobbying in the opposite direction.
Rights are absolutely negotiable; it's part of your right to be able to trade some of your rights for some benefit.

If you're employed at a desk job, you've traded much of your human right to be wherever the heck you want between the hours of 9 and 5, Monday through Friday, in exchange for a salary.
Actually, I was referring to this bit:

> but managed to screw it up by not restoring the app from a minimized state when you switch to it.

"Screw up" is interesting wording. The implication is that macOS has a fault in it because its window management is (a) app-based and (b) therefore doesn't automatically unminimise every window belonging to that app.

Imagine you had several windows minimised for a given app, switched to that app, and they all automatically swam back out of the Dock all in the name of emulating Windows.

Yeah, people might want a different window management system that isn't app-based, but that doesn't make the current system a "screw up" for not perfectly emulating other systems to which one may be more accustomed — namely Windows.

Just because people aren't familiar with it or don't see the benefits in it, nothing is "screwed up" because there isn't a slavish mimicry of the way Windows does things.

There are those of us, believe it or not, who understand the macOS way of doing things and vastly prefer it. Yeah, we might not have the most valuable input in this discussion, but that still doesn't mean the macOS way is a "screw up".

That's the point I'm making.
The opposite of progressive intolerance is not intolerance toward progressives. One can (and should) object to both.

Strange times.
Yes, and this problem is exacerbated by the raspberrypi's microUSB power input. We've seen countless number of cases where a Pi exhibiting SD card corruption was also experiencing undervoltage. If you're using raspberrypis in production it's paramount to have a good microUSB cable and power supply

But violence against non-protected groups is ok, I guess.

Too much functionality in your XYZ class is not generally the problem. Its the dependencies between the classes and the way the frameworks (looking at you spring and hibernate) can make it too easy to couple your code via transactions, ORM graphs, etc.

What is it that we are doing now (other than inflammatory sport team names)? I'm pretty naive on this topic, so I don't mean this as an attack, but as a legitimate question.
I feel like the IAU is being a bit short-sighted here. The point of the SpaceX constellation is to bootstrap a lot more activity in space than we have right now, by providing both funding and an initial market to get Starship running at volume. Once launch costs are down to $50/kg or so, whatever loss we have in earthbound astronomy can be more than compensated by large telescopes in orbit and on the far side of the moon.

I would regret losing a natural-looking night sky, but the statement admits these probably won't be visible to the naked eye.
An update was merged a few minutes ago: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/...
There's a tension between using private, semi-public (ISP-run), and public resolvers.

The more clients a resolver has, the better the privacy protection it offers vis-a-vis authoritative servers, so there's some reason to want to use one's ISP's resolver, or even a public resolver.

On the other hand, you may not want your ISP to know about some of the sites you visit, or you may not want a public resolver operator to know. After all, both will have a huge incentive to monetize that data.

Regardless, ISPs need to adopt support for DoT and DoH.

Lastly, it'd be nice if we could get authoritative servers to support DoT/DoH, but that will take a long time.

It'd have been nice to have settled on DNSCurve for confidentiality a decade ago... Even assuming Curve25519's eventual obsolescence, it would have served us well while waiting for a better solution.
I think the analogy still stands if the goods/service is a commodity. It's not like $evil_corp will just forego using version control if GitLab doesn't offer it; there are tons of version control offerings.

The interesting spot is where you're selling off-the-shelf goods/ services that nobody else can provide. I would say that it's morally wrong to provide those services in that case since it's directly attributable to you that $villain did $bad_thing because of your offering, even though you had little personal involvement in the interaction.
I don't know of a single person in the world that doesn't say profoundly dumb stuff sometimes.
given the sprawl of a ton of micro-services has anyone based on a central service bus style maybe with kafka where services work a lot like unix pipes instead of ever changing APIs -- sure GRPC mitigates some of that but I am curious as having a central source of truth that is also stateful but not a relational database etc., that works and the whole pub/sub style
If it were the case that these things were never mentioned, and anytime they were brought up, people were silenced, I'd totally agree with your point here.

But we're getting wall-to-wall coverage of basically those exact issues, all the time, with only one point of view endorsed. It's uninclusive to anybody who thinks differently in terms of methods or priorities.
>It's preventing the rule of the intolerant minority...

If a majority want to discuss politics and political change, isn't this just an intolerant majority enforcing their politics on everyone?

Unless someone is the type of person who would never advocate for any change no matter what happened to them, from being made King to being made a slave, then they aren't actually apolitical. Everyone who doesn't want to discuss politics or thinks they aren't political are just saying that the current political status quo fits their views.
Since you have the benefit of discussing this matter often, can you explain their reasoning? What portions of the law/politics do they want to favor race/gender?
No, but the existence of the roguelike keyset demonstrates that there is space on the keyboard for every command. Why do you need to collapse multiple verbs onto the same key?
> is it even immoral for people who believe that homosexuality is immoral to try convincing gay people to change?

It depends on the details.

On one end of the spectrum, a one-off conversation may be OK.

On the other end, there are the horrible things inflicted on gay people in the name of "conversion therapy". And many people who believe homosexuality is illegal want to keep that practice legal (or make it legal again, respectively).
What do you do with a boss, who, when you aren't submissive responds with, "You like your job here, right?"
> Cars also have exhausts that blast fumes in your face

Yeah I never noticed this as much as the small city where I live now. Both bus stops (near home and near work) are next to a busy road, which is one thing, but one is also right before a traffic light, so lots of accelerating traffic. (The other one is right after, which is much better already.) I regularly hold my breath for a few seconds as a particularly bad cloud (invisibly) passes over me.

I sometimes wonder if, instead of speed limits, we need acceleration limits. Or just emission limits. Accelerate to highway speed in 50 seconds instead of in 20: so long as you're not in traffic that goes from 0 to 100 km/h every two minutes, it should hardly matter for your arrival time. Yet most of the time when I accelerate at a reasonable (not slow) speed onto the (uphill-going) highway, the person behind me thinks they should go alongside to accelerate 5% faster and lock me into the merging lane that is by now running out of space. Must spend 80% more CO2 for 20 seconds to arrive 4 seconds faster at the destination!
Since when are businesses responsible for the health of democracy?

Have most business in American history been hotbeds of political discussion and activity? Have we previously attributed the relative health of American democracy to this characteristic of American businesses?

No. I'm not sure whether I think they ultimately are political (is it political for a company which employs lots of Christians to talk about Jesus?), but it's a harder case at the least.
I stand corrected; thank you. I am genuinely surprised to learn that those are called voltage references, but that is an accepted industry term.
Politics could be discussed at work, if parties didn't decide to go for super extreme, polarizing positions. These days it feels like you cannot speak with the other side of the wall without getting into a fight. What happened to pragmatism and centrists? Politicians need divisiveness to keep their chairs.

That said, I would exclude any customer that has extreme views. Why support their platform, especially with a product like Gitlab, and help them spread hate?
What you do matters. The people on the ground turning Syria into the shithole you consider it to be were probably also "just focusing on producing the best work they could". Apparently they did a pretty good job.
If a workplace is political space.. Can it discriminate based on political stance?
In a previous role some time back used F# on top of ASP.NET Core. It isn't that bad and people thought the code was quite clean in the end; we had dev's thinking going back to C# even with F# using vanilla ASP.NET would be a downgrade. There's ways to mitigate the pain of the C# specific API. We went the vanilla ASP.NET Core route (for Swashbuckle) and found only the Startup class (which could be replaced by functions in hindsight) and the Controllers (which were still clean code wise) needed to be classes. The rest (majority) of the program was typical F# code with an interfaced object usually created via an F# object expression put into ASP.NET's dependency injection. Helped to separate the web controllers from the logic layer anyway and keep the ASP.NET code to a minimal. Most of the program was written in F# style with ASP.NET used just as a web server for functions basically.

There's just few public examples on how to do this cleanly so people kinda have to work it out themselves which I think could be improved.
> We can’t improve without discussion, and it’s unfortunate that these type of issues are so divisive.

Around 40% of voters support Donald Trump in some way. Are you sure you really want to discuss politics at work? Do you want someone wearing a MAGA hat explaining to everyone why immigration is too high?

Because that is what real political discussion will involve. In fact, I suspect many people who are advocating for politics at work, actually only want people whom they agree with to be able discuss policies that they generally agree with.

So for me, as long as the company does not prevent political activity outside of work, I am happy to have work be a neutral zone where people from opposite ends of the political spectrum can just work together on how to make money for the business.

As someone who works with client billable hours, actual work usually takes the least amount of time. The communication about your completion, testing/confirmation, documentation and shadow/knowledge sharing take the remaining 7.5h (using your analogy).

If you're truly doing all those things in 30m, you should be running the show.

Sometimes taking the full 8h allows you to put in the packaging to confirm you've done the "hard" part.
This remind me of a similar story with the age of the earth and the solar system. Scientists using new methods were starting to discover that Earth was far, far older than originally predicted...so old, that it seemed to predate our sun. It turns out it our estimates of the solar system's age were wrong, but it took some time to figure out why.

I imagine something similar is going on here. The article mentions that once they got an age older than the universe, they started looking at how to make the star younger...finally by acknowledging the margin of error in estimates. That sounds like bad science to me.
Thanks for answering my question.
