"Liberty and justice for all" means that liberty isn't the only thing we should be talking about. We are in a time of great injustice in the US (and the rest of the world), perhaps even higher than during the Gilded Age and the robber barons because we have such extreme wealth inequality today. I'm of the opinion that concentrated wealth is the embodiment of injustice.

When we talk about Facebook and Twitter and free speech through the lens of liberty, then it's hard to come to any consistent conclusion about the best course of action. Yes I see the nuances of comparing speech and money, or speech and political speech. But there is no way to have censorship or no censorship and satisfy all parties.

I suggest that we add justice to the equation. Then, it's plain to see that Donald Trump was not elected purely democratically (he lost the popular vote), that there was evidence of tampering in the predominantly blue states that typically elect democrats (possibly by foreign parties like Russia), and that social media had an outsized role in the spread of propaganda (mainly Facebook and its laissez faire stance on fact checking free speech). I don't think that I'm stretching the truth here by any measure. And this dysfunction in our present-day system led to the improbable election of someone who was probably more interested in the publicity stunt of running for office than actually winning. I think we can also safely say that there are unhappy parties on both sides of the isle.

What does a just solution look like? Well.. it gets tricky. Typically that would be decided by the Supreme Court, but through a series of injustices (like Mitch McConnell blocking Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland), the court is potentially biased. This is not the first time that this has happened, as presidents and congresses have changed the number of justices in order to impose their own biases:

https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/why-does-the-supreme-cou...

So we are left with the court of public opinion, which is probably a good thing. So I'll put in my vote, that I think democracy is incompatible with concentrated wealth (injustice). Which means that I support the limiting of campaign funds to some agreed upon amount (roughly $2800 per person per candidate with several exceptions):

https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/candidate...

Which could be accomplished with an amendment to overturn the 2010 Citizens United decision:

https://movetoamend.org

And that I favor the public funding of elections so that the average person has similar publicity as someone with millions of dollars from PACs.

This limiting/balancing of dark money in politics would largely negate the influence of private social media companies like Facebook and Twitter and make all of this somewhat of a moot point. If it were to happen, then I would lean towards uncensored political ads (similar to what we've had in the past) while still leaving candidates and PACs open to libel lawsuits. I trust the dignity of the general public to make their own political decisions, regardless of their affluence or education or any other aspect of their demographic.
Chaos Order – Randomizing Queries to Uncover Order-Dependency
I didnt find anything about this in the Pine Forum or via google, just this thread on Armbian

https://forum.armbian.com/topic/7783-cant-install-pine-a64-l...

Do you have any more information or a link where to follow up on this? Skimming the threads in the forum

https://forum.pine64.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=67

has more then one person saying that they managed to boot from the EMMC.

edit: nevermind found it

https://www.reddit.com/r/PINE64official/comments/df6yxz/pine...

edit2: Are you sure you didnt run into a problem with Armbian? Did you test it with any other OS? There seem to be more people who had an issue which sounds similar, not being able to boot from EMMC but from SDCard with armbian.

> I think it's clear that the First Amendment protects its use.

I'm not so sure. The Second Amendment's "keep and bear arms" doesn't protect my ability to buy and keep any gun I want, regardless of how obvious a reading that seems, so I wouldn't count on the First's "the freedom of speech" to protect the use of any words.

In context, it's between the freedom of religion and the freedom of the press, of assembly, and of petitioning the government. It makes sense that it protects advocating any political viewpoint. It does not necessarily follow that it protects words in general.

The judicial history of the freedom of speech clause is mostly about political speech, speech critical of the government, etc. Advertising is heavily regulated. Copyright infringement is illegal. Lying to federal agents is illegal. Obscenity is still unprotected (though very few things are considered obscene today).

And if we look at what the framers intended, well, many of them went on to vote for the Alien and Sedition Acts (which are widely considered today to have been unconstitutional).

I think there is a lot of merit in a constitutional protection of the right to say any word. It's just not clear to me that a law preventing you from saying a single word (any word!) runs afoul of the freedom of speech clause, specifically.
Yes I think this is it really. The message we are hearing recently is that in order to prevent the worst of climate change we must effectively shut down what most people think of as "modern society". This is a hard pill to swallow, even if you believe it. I actual see resistance across the political spectrum. Also tons of cognitive dissonance, like one article talking about how we are entering a utopic age where nobody needs to work anymore, u.b.i. and machines will provide everything we need, followed by another article saying we are 10-20 years away from going extinct essentially. Or articles saying we need to build denser cities in order to live more efficiently while ignoring the massive demand for steel, concrete, glass etc that would require etc... Nobody has any answers I don't think, just wishful/naive thinking.
Thanks for asking for it, then! :)
China is not the status quo in the US. Thus, it is very easy for Google to pretend to be neutral regarding political facts occurring there. But even that is not entirely true. The Tiananmen Square events are very important for the narrative of western governments against China, so what appears there has also a political connotation.
T-Mobile sells insurance on devices they also sell. I have never seen a dedicated insurance company selling insurance specifically on mobile devices. The likelihood of consumer confusion is tiny.
Is there any record of this happening over something as frivolous as a trademarked color?

I hear a lot that bad things could happen if companies don't bully people over trademarks, but I also see lots of companies being good neighbors and doing fine regardless. Are all of these companies both cursed with incompetent lawyers and blessed with uncanny luck?
Probably less than a year ago.

Yeah, but when this stuff becomes mainstream fodder it becomes more embarrassing to regulatory agencies if it is left unresolved in the public eye. The box spread thing wasn't on the frontpage of Bloomberg/CNBC AFAIK.

I don't really find it that amusing tbh -- after all, such a memory "organs" filled large buildings for quite a long stretch. I'm most curious to see the exponential growth -- 160kb in 1946 becomes 640kB in the early 80s, and today my desktop has 64GB of RAM and 1TB SSD and HDD each.

just fact-checked myself, and was reminded that the quote associated with billg is apocryphal
I agree - I don't eat meat and I'm not having children, but it feels very futile when you take into consideration the levels of corporate pollution, pollution from China, wasteful practices, corruption and apathy from our government leaders, attacks on personal liberties... it all gets so dismally depressing very quickly. It's great to frequent subreddits like r/antinatalism and r/collapse, just for the pure support, but if you stay too long it gets way too real because the science is there and it's not a good outcome, and we're barreling towards it strapped to the backs of a political system that does not care about it.

So in the UK we have a politician named Jeremy Hunt. He previously held the government role of Culture Secretary. The job includes things like protecting us from Rupert Murdock's attempt to monopolise all broadcast media.

One day a few years ago the presenter of the foremost UK political radio show, Radio 4's Today Show, referred to "Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary, reviewing the Murdock bid for Sky TV"... or at least that's what he meant to say.

What he actually said was something else... and then followed it with silence.

Silence slowly followed by the sound of a "serious" man in his 60s practically crying in his desperately attempts to speak without laughing... for about 5 minutes.

No one else in the studio even tried to help him lest they also be caught trying not to laugh.

That on its own was funny enough for another serious presenter in his 60s on the same radio station, about an hour later, to make light of his colleague's failure to say "Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary". Except that's not what he said either... More silence slowly followed stifled crying.

BBC management issued a formal apology but to this day I'm not sure anyone really knows why.
So I have created web app to create postcards that I will print and send out for you.

Just checked that I'm HN users for almost 10 years and it is first time I am posting something. I'm quite excited that I have launched something commercial and I believe there are people who will find it useful. The main challenge I have now with project is marketing. I have some support on that but if HN crowd offered some hints or ideas my ears are open.
It's an arbitrary example of information which is commonly censored to support the status quo, if you want an example targeted at America we could just as easily use pirated media.
If someone builds an argument on a weakly relevant analogy, and gets a response with an equally dumb, but oppositional analogy, who’s at fault for wasting time?
OK then:

Outcome 1: "they use collection agents to collect YOUR money. Robinhood will recoup the 100k$"

Only if the loser has $100k. Which they probably don't. Also, this ignores collection costs against people who do.

Outcome 2: You have a lawsuit from someone dealing with the TOS.

You also forgot Outcome 3: The SEC comes calling and fines you far more than $100,000 for allowing margin to unqualified investors.
OTOH ranges usually get compiled to faster and more efficient code. Smaller too.

Lessons from the Best Remote Companies in the World
The house is the economy of UK in your metaphor. The house dropped into solid ground and was in better condition overall (especially exports). The Guy who build the house on stilts was proven wrong. Artificial stilts are stupid thing. Houses should be build on solid ground.
No, that model isn't really even for sale here in Canada. It only exists for the subsidy. The way the subsidy was worded was that if the lowest price of a vehicle was under a threshold then you'd get the subsidy on the other versions, so they created a basically unpurchasable version for that purpose. (I believe you actually have to email the company to purchase it. I doubt there's been even one purchase).
You could probably just find/replace unique_ptr. I'm pretty sure that's what I did a million years ago when auto_ptr was deprecated.

England was not democratic until it was.
I thought of an alternative idea for travel in somewhere like NYC. If you want to cross at certain points of the river, you may need to wait for public transport or use a bridge...

What if we used a combination of drone technology and powerlines...instead of a drone needing to have its own batteries on board, what if there was a power line suspended across the river that it ran along, similar to a street-car. The drone, let's say it holds 2 or 4 people per trip, would basically be a mini flying-on-a-line taxi. It would travel only along the power-line, thus no navigation or control systems needed, no pilot needed.Presumably it could have a much lighter frame due to no battery needed, and you could power it off the rapidly decarbonizing grid.

The downsides I see now are the safety risks if a part flies off, the noise may be intolerable, and you'd need to construct the lines and hold them up somehow. And obviously, you'd need to engineer the product and face the realities of the physics, which I don't know much about.
Why do people even share this sort of news anymore. I don't think I've ever read an article about novel medical science that is supposed to treat [bad disease] that eventuated in any actual treatment or cure.

The actual cure is perpetually a decade away.
> they use collection agents to collect YOUR money

These users do not have the assets anywhere to cover these debts. The best RH could do is negotiate a lower terms and hope they just don't file bankruptcy. That $100k is really worth closer to $0k when the person you lent the money to has no assets and no income.
I am glad you agree on that point. And it wasn't a 'crisis'.
He's kinda late to the party decrying these sort of flicks now. You could make the same criticism movies that came out a decade ago, like Armageddon, Independence Day, Transformers, etc.

This is bad advice. Assuming your plan is not to pay back if your $1m goes bad, your edge comes from that scenario, so you actually want to maximise the chances of it. Much better to "put it all on black" and take a 50% chance of making a 90% profit - also easy to achieve by buying options. For best results, have a friend do the same thing but put it all on red, and agree to split the money.

On the other hand, if you aren't planning on running away from your losses, you shouldn't take the 5% risk of a 100% loss to make just $20k. Liquidate the options and put your money back in index funds.
Perhaps 30 years ago climate change could have been stopped or kept under control by a series of taxes and trading schemes. However, world governments have squandered that opportunity.

If climate change continues unfettered, millions of people living on coastlines will be displaced and agriculture will become difficult in many regions. This is likely to lead to political chaos and instability.

I think climate change should be the most important issue on in any election. We still have time to keep warming manageable, but it will mean halving the amount of greenhouse gas we produce. This is going to require fighting climate change on multiple fronts, including changes to almost every industry - energy, housing, transportation, commerce - and possibly even geoengineering as a last resort. But it can be done. The Green New Deal is the only family of solutions that can plausibly halt climate change. Anything less is incompatible with the science.
I don’t know about the legal or other regulatory logistics cost of operating a helicopter, but the physical maintenance requirements for helicopters are likely far far higher than a potential electric vtol vehicle.
Javascript formally releases once a year, but individual feature adoption in browsers is totally separate from that, and happens.... whenever they feel like it. v8 (chrome's js engine) doesn't have a set release schedule, but has already had 6 formal minor releases this year, each partially adopting some new JS runtime features, all of which have already shipped to chrome.

At our current pace, we formally release 4 times a year, for reference, which is actually a far cry from the more continuous deployment browser vendors currently have setup.

The main difference is that most people kinda ignore new JavaScript stuff for awhile until it trends or gains sufficient rollout. It's an interesting world - I can't really say that people are actually JavaScript version aware, beyond, maybe, what compatibility presets @babel/preset-env gives them.
Older generations receiving £150k more in ‘welfare dividend’ than millenials
Good point, but I don't understand how to square that with the part where the article specifically says the researcher is working on commercializing it:

> Moth-Poulsen plans to spin off a company that would advance the technology and says he’s in talks with venture capital investors. The storage unit could be commercially available in as little as six years and the coating in three, pending the $5 million of additional funding he estimates will be needed to bring the coating to market.

If the inefficiency is that bad and is a real problem, why are VCs talking to him?
Perhaps the "all at once" attack could work against today's hardware. This is because the mics (in devices I know of) are co-planar and the user may be speaking to Alexa (or whoever) from directly above or below the device. In this configuration, it is valid for all mics to be receiving the same audio signal simultaneously.

But in some future rev, one could imagine that if the mics in the array are non-coplanar (e.g. at least 4 mics) and sufficiently far from each other, then there is no possible way for the audio signal to reach them at once (unless it is actually light being measured).
The only reason he could put on the trade in the size that he did was because the BoE took the other side (they sold $27bn worth of £ and Soros had a $10bn position) and believed they were omnipotent (even amongst British civil servants, the BoE was unusually stacked with "god complex" types...and still is to a certain extent).

Exactly. The closest grocery store to my house is an upscale one about 7 miles away. I rarely shop there: I go to the Walmart 10 miles away because (1) it's on my way home from work and (2) prices are lower.

Basically, if you live in a rural area, having to drive places is table stakes: not even worth thinking about. Unless there's a major snowstorm or the roads are covered in ice. Then it becomes a pain in the ass.
Factual Inaccuracies of “Facebook Libra Is Architecturally Unsound”
I'm a poor, uneducated, bloke in a high col city. I work crazy hours in a dangerous and traumatizing job for 20k annually. I vote blue, pay my taxes and support local businesses. I do everything I can to have a minimal carbon footprint and am pretty sure I'm doing much better than the average American.

I'm burnt out on climate change, just like every other political topic. Our elected officials are either completely corrupted by corporate lobbyists or sidelined into impotent virtue signaling rubber chickens. No rational decision I make can have any measurable effect on global co2 levels unless I were to invent a profitable carbon capturing process. I want to do more but every 'fight climate change' event I've been to is an effectless feel good circle jerk.

I hope 'we' come up with ways to arrest the progression and reverse most of the damage 'we' have caused to our home. I don't know what value this comment has except that I hope you can rest assured knowing that there are many people ready to pick up the proverbial shovel and get to work.
