Not to mention the fact that "politics" winds up being a very wide swath. I will be interested to see how Twitter classifies this.

1. Suppose you advertise for an donations to an adoption charity? Finding good homes for children is surely universally recognized as a wonderful, noble cause. Advertise on Twitter.

2. Now suppose the adoption charity partners with and funds pregnancy centers needing adoption services.

3. Now suppose that many of these partner pregnancy center don't offer or recommend abortion services.

4. Now suppose that proposed legislation requires pregnancy centers to provide information about abortion, with resistance from these pregnancy centers.

5. The organizations directly funded by your charity are now embroiled directly in one of the most hot-button political issues of the last 50 years.

Is your charity now political? Can it run ads on Twitter?

---

Note: A common misconception is that there is no such thing as 509(a) political charity. This is incorrect. Non-profits are only restricted from supporting political candidates. They can support political issues all they want and do limited lobbying.

The easy thing is for Twitter is to just use 509(a) status as the yardstick for bordline orgs, but that line would be far into the "politics" space.
If we create a system where only those who can pay are able to get their message across, is that really free expression for the millions who can't?
Any idea of what years/make of cars you will support?
That's true but I think XML has the edge there. It has so many features like defining new types which you wouldn't normally see in JSON. One parser we used had a ten to one ratio - 50MB of XML meant 500MB of RAM usage when using a DOM parser. And that's taking into account the textual representation of XML is already >50% bloat with the closing tags etc.
The Old Internet is when the web browser was a "smart document reader" and information was open and accessible.

Now the web browser is more of a VM for "web applications" and the web is turning into walled gardens.

The tendency for the tech world to centralize around a single browser like Chrome is a big culprit. But once we started having auto-updaters for browsers, that was the nail in the coffin. The centralizing effect of that is huge.

Things became easier for web developers, but not necessarily better for the end user.

The new internet is in the favor of commercial interests. The open internet & the open browser is being strangled.
Your plane will fly anywhere you, the pilot, command it to. The enforcement of NFZ is done by the pilot, not the equipment.

I am complaining about the equipment, not the NFZ. You would, too, if your aircraft ignored control inputs under certain opaque, manufacturer-supplied (and signed) network-updated conditions.

The hardware’s job is to obey the operator. The operator’s job is to obey the law.
> What are your expression worth if you wouldn’t be able to pay a service, cellphone/internet connection/reddit gold to express that? How is paying ads different than paying a campaigner set up a loudspeaker in the middle of a city?

Absolutes don't really work well in the real world: there are too many trade-offs to be balanced and too many positive goals that are at tension with each other. For instance, and absolute right to paying for free expression sounds nice in isolation, because we value free speech. But we also value democracy, and democracy doesn't work well when an oligarchy or foreign power can use its massive wealth overwhelm and confuse the expression of the common people.
The technical quality of it is good, its just that they make shitty UX decisions like autoplaying stuff when you just want to browse their catalog.
That’s already happened in certain US populations with disastrous consequences.
I think the only option there is C. It hasn't changed much for a long time, for better or worse.
Why is traditional media given a hard pass while tech companies are being fisted by this - that honestly they shouldn't even concern themselves with?
Apple Card is likely one of those services which will have little impact on revenue and earning, but outsized impact on stickiness of the iPhone as a platform. If you prefer Apple Card and the way you interact with it, it's going to be that much tougher to move to Android.
most likely the power line to the cameras were cut or interfered with. They should both be on the same network and it should not be difficult to disable if knowing about the security system before hand.
And you're going to tell me a bunch of anons on HN are bout to invent it from first principles?!

While 'we' (I'm not American) might have plenty of stupid laws, we also have some very good ones. We've gotten there by taking necessarily-flawed first steps. I have no doubt Twitter will overlook something. But I'm glad they're doing it anyway, and we will get somewhere better in steps. It's better than navel gazing about "What's a law anyway?"

Also, granted, GP didn't explicitly state that he's against the law, but this kind of smug, condescending slippery slope argument keeps getting brought up all over HN, hence my over the top reaction. So many thread seem to devolve into this kind of pointless "Yeah but define <> first" at the hands of Rationalists™ and are worse for it. They get nowhere and it makes for infuriating reading.
Help Get JetBrains IDE's on iPad OS

When / how has this actually impacted you?
A better example would be something like the NBA's situation in China currently. If a government has the market power to determine what those in a private enterprise should be able to say, is that a situation that we accept?
New Story (YC S15 Nonprofit) Hiring 5 Roles
I stumbled onto this post a bit ago and occasionally get email updates of people upvoting it. Maybe if it gets enough attention / traction JetBrains will listen and build out an ARM capable version of their IDE's for future iPad OS Support? At the very least I think it's worth a shot. There's already a variety of functional programming apps on the iPad for platforms such as python, CLI, Lua, Js, C/C++, etc.

Maybe if JetBrains spear heads this mobile development initiative, we'll see improved support from apple's side too.

"IF google and microsoft came to an agreement over what people where allowed to spam email, ..."

And they have. This is not consenting communication. This is broadcast. Different game, different rules.
Indeed, and newspapers are arguably problematic too. But I think it demonstrates that regulation can be done without the definition of what it covers being too controversial.

Collision Damage Waivers and the fact that they are relatively expensive suggests the opposite.

Accidents near an airport are more than 50% of auto accidents I have had totally in my life. All of the airport accidents I was literally not moving when someone drove into me.

We vastly overestimate the competence of the average driver.
Possible, though I've read complaints about the reverse as well. That more men don't feel they need women in their lives anymore, despite being straight, because of, well, porn.

I haven’t used the Netflix web app in years. I can’t think of the last time I’ve seen others use it. Perhaps the execs don’t use the web app? The iOS apps work great for me. Especially the offline download feature- great for planes.
True. Worth noting that this is coming up because the volunteers are being mistreated and people were looking for laws that could protect them, and may have found more than they were looking for.
Yeah, like maybe he has a voice recording of the president saying he likes to grab women by the pussy without their consent...
“What I miss is contextual advertising. You went to a video games site and all ads where relevant. Ads used to be informative and interesting. These days they're irrelevant, annoying and indifferent.”

Totally agree. If I am on a site about kiteboarding I would actually appreciate to get ads about kiteboarding. This could probably be useful. But instead I am getting ads about toasters because I bought one last week.
Debunking Solar Energy Myths
One of the biggest problems in all of these dialogues is the obsession of assigning "fault" and blame. The """patriarchy""" dates back, at least abstractly, to divisions in roles between men and women due to the reality of sexual dimorphism. I'm not sure how the societal consequences of genetics in primitive history is men's fault.
Thank you for your proper explanation of a CRM. I understand about your concern with your data but I can assure you, I am building this SaaS product for people like you and it is here to stay.

I am also planning on building an exporting feature , not because this product will disappear one day (which will not happen) but because I want you (the user) to be able to access your data whenever you need.

I am more than happy to hear any concerns you might have
Same here. Already have access after about one minute of waiting
I think GP is being sarcastic, since overwhelmingly childcare providers and childhood teachers are already women.

Which is itself a problem. We need more elementary school teachers and childcare providers who are men, so that kids get the input of both (common) genders, and don't see taking care of kids as "women's work" (which is the inevitable conclusion they'll come to if 90%+ of the people taking care of them are women).
It may feel unfair but the Ivy League system is actually good.

There are essentially two kinds of people who enter elite schools: rich kids and very gifted kids.

Rich kids don't really need that degree, they already have a guaranteed position thanks to their network and family. They are, however, able to support the school financially and use their network to provide scholarships and good job opportunities to more modest fellow students.

You have a 3 part system supporting each other:

- The school offers high quality education, recognition, and a suitable environment.

- Rich kids and their families support the school financially and offer career opportunities.

- Gifted kids provide the raw talent needed for the important positions these schools open.

Removing rich kids from the equation won't do any good. They are not parasites, they bring more to the system than they cost. And it's not like they are morons, they don't get a free pass just because they are rich, they still need to pass the tests.
30 core devs are about 28 too many for my taste. This is not a tiny team, this is a huge team.
This is a step in the right direction, but fails to go far enough.

When Trump can exhort violence without being shut down, Twitter is being hypocritical, and putting profit over democratic principles.
A half ounce hex nut doesn't fly under its own power.
IIRC the plan was for 100 passengers per launch to Mars. Assuming only Earth based point to point travel this could probably be increased as you're not also running supplies & equipment.

But assuming 100 passengers and assuming they get the launch cost down to $5MM (as proposed in the article) that is $5000/seat which is easily comparable to a first class ticket.

Further (optimistic) extrapolating with more and more Starships available, the tech becoming cheaper/more reliable as time goes on I could see that price dropping over the decades. Just as air travel changed over the years from being out of most people's reach to being routine I could see something like this supplanting planes for those ultra long haul routes.
And? do those editors have a history of allowing or blocking untruthful ads?
I don't understand your point. Nobody is the majority of Spain, but certainly most regions are far away of the power Catalans have in their hands, be it because of their population (gets you more seats in the central parliament) or because of the money they manage.

Every region has its own parliament and has representation in the central parliament. If you want something for your region you have to negotiate with others. And most regions have it way more difficult than Catalans to achieve whatever they want.
He is already an elected representative in the French parliament, being part of the current government's majority. His political party and the government have already passed several laws that are very damaging to research and higher education (among other things, but these two topics Villani actually knows something about, and he should care a bit given his background). He has never said anything publicly about it, or only to support the government. I see this behavior as proof that he doesn't care at all about being a mathematician (well, except when it gives him credit he doesn't deserve), so he should just be considered another random politician, and he's not even a good one.

Edit: fixed "dommageable".
The AGPL requires you to provide source to "all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network."

If I have a factory, and my line workers use terminals that talks to my central server, do I have to provide them with a copy of my source code?

If I own a store that has price scanners that check a central database, do I have to make source code available to all customers?

If I have an airline that contains in-flight entertainment units, do I have to provide source code to every passenger?

> And if men think their complaining should be heard, then go back over all of the times where women's complaints were completely ignored or even punished and is most scenarios, women never spoke up at all and suffered in silence.

So you're openly claiming that it's okay to exploit, abuse and silence men. Women suffered and now it's men's turn, right?

> Not saying men have shitty lives too but men can't all of sudden be the victims after millennia of victimization.

So you are saying men must also suffer millennia of victimization in order to repay their "debt" and finally be seen as equals. Is that right?
Can anyone make sense of this? I tried but it's rambling, claims absolutes, pushes his book, uses long words that always make me suspicious that someone's trying to hide something simple (or it may not, but damned if I can tell here).
~200K residents... Same as most cities in Romania. Come to Romania, lol, there's gigabit fiber and good food everywhere, great all-round weather. Buy a house 5-10km from the city for ~60K.
Or their idea thereof... when I use my GPS it surprises me how low my car actually reports my speed compared to reality. It probably explains all the slow drivers in the right lane over here.

The pharma companies are merely a useful scapegoat for the real cause: awful state policies. This is blatantly obvious after only a small amount of research, like the fact that opioid overdoses have increased as opioid prescriptions have decreased.

The government restricting the supply of opioid painkillers has only served to push those who need them into the black market. Blaming companies like Purdue is only playing into the same talking points as the drug warriors: evil dealers pushing dangerous drugs onto innocent people.

We need to decriminalize and legalize all drugs: possession, creation, and distribution.
This is the important time for power. Exercising power in the background, when nobody realises it's happening, is useful.

But when your power base is threatened, when you are wide open and people feel you could go under. That's when you can exhibit that power. When you step forward and pronounce that black is white, and all the press and the politicians nod in agreement.

This entrenches their power. Nobody called them out.
So, in conclusion — Facebook is anti-democracy and twitter is pro-democracy.

Yes, there are always people who would do stupid stuff.

But we have decades of experience with Pascal, SQL, VB, VB.Net, Excel and variety of other languages. Decades. They each have their problems, but in wide practice, case [in]sensitivity is not one of them.
Sure, but it's a super-lightweight drone targeted at Instagrammers mucking around with it. I think giving up performance against strong wind would be a given. Their demo shots all look reasonably close to the ground.

I was responding to: "Traditionally DJI drones have had very underpowered motors" - I'm sure there are tougher drones out there, but underpowered for what? I shoot video and photo for commercial purposes with mine and find that it handles wind very well, rain too. Incredible given the size means you can fold it down into a backpack and not lug around a Pelican case.
OT maybe, but I wish people would stop using pedophile as if it were a crime.

> Pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children. [0]

The problem and crime is, when those people act on those attractions and the way society reacts to pedophiles is certainly not helping anyone and I’d assume hindering some of them from seeking or even receiving help.

I'm convinced that Access could replace 90% of the business/enterprise software being written today in 1/3 of the time. It's especially powerful if you use a connector to a real database and just use access for its forms and reporting capabilities
You can make a nice UI very fast. Forms, fields, buttons. It's nothing like SQLLite which is just an SQL engine.

Zuckerberg defends political ads that will be 0.5% of 2020 revenue
It's much easier to adjudicate what is and isn't political than what is and isn't honest.
Even if MS feels they can't remove it - the fact they haven't made any significant improvements to it (even those to keep it usable on modern computers) means it will die a slow death and leave people stranded - the same way they did with VB6.

For example, the SQL text editor in Access is so broken if you copy and paste tab characters they're displayed as zero-width and break text rendering (if you click+drag to create a text-selection the selection will cover the wrong text) and you usually get a syntax error if you make any changes to the query after pasting it (but if you don't modify it then it's fine). Never mind the lack of syntax-coloring or auto-completion. Microsoft says they are not planning on making any changes to the SQL text editor: https://access.uservoice.com/forums/319956-access-desktop-ap...

There's also a fun bug where the outermost LEFT OUTER JOIN in a query with 2 or more other joins will fail if the right-hand table has zero rows (but will work if the right-hand table has zero matching rows).
Twitter to Ban All Political Advertising
There's a middle ground between shills and honest sincerely held beliefs: that of the useful idiot [1]. Those are people who have been manipulated by real shills to sincerely advocate for the shill's ideas. Real shills usually don't have the resources get the results they want on their own, so their goal is to create useful idiots to magnify their efforts.

It's not necessarily relevant to this case, and I agree that calling those people out as such lowers the quality of discourse, but I think it's something important to keep in mind.

Then why is it entirely legal for me or anyone else without a prior criminal record to buy a machine gun? Why, despite that fact, are no mass murders committed with machine guns?

There is a large body of evidence and experience that refutes your claim.
> how else would you have found it except "through links from similar small websites"?

By browsing Web-Directories such as DMOZ/ODP, mainly. Albeit that's really a late-90s and 2000s thing. We should go back to that kind of curation effort. It would be more of a challenge for politically-sensitive stuff (the Internet overall is a lot more politicized and less free-speech-friendly than it used to be) but for most uncontroversial stuff it would work well enough.

(And no, Wikipedia is not a true replacement even though it might be the closest thing to one we happen to have. They purposefully keep external links to a minimum, for sensible reasons - they're building an encyclopedia, not a Web directory.)
And what is the huge difference?!
Now what is the right of the group? What rights does Spain as a nation have and what right to do the Catalonians have as a people, and where do such rights come from?

The nation of Spain certainly is sovereign on the territory it occupies, so it is bound only by the rules it imposes on itself (and of course, external powers which might impose other rules upon it). The nation of Spain chose to specify the rights extended to its people through the constitution, and through specific laws. From that, Catalonians, as part of the Spanish nation and subject to its sovereignty for as long as they reside under its jurisdiction, stem the rights Catalonians have as people.

Look, I'm not a lover or a hater of Spain, but what I learned so far about how the world works is that it is divided into countries, which set the rules, called law, on their territories, and get to enforce it. If you don't like the rules, usually there's a mechanism to change those, but if you can't make it work through that mechanism, your only option is to assert your own sovereignty, and hope to prevail over the existing contender. So far, the separatists in Catalonia hasn't been successful neither the former nor the latter. I might sympathize with them, but certainly I do not think that they have any right whatsoever to secede.

In 1971 the US Supreme Court ruled on this very issue, stating that if it costs more than what the average person can pay for, then paying for speaking restricts freedom of speech.

They compared the cost to mail a letter vs a commercial. At the time they stated, "$1000 is beyond the reach of the majority." which at the time was what campaign donations were limited to.
