If I yell "he's got a gun" as a prank intending people to stampeded out of a movie theater, trampeling and killing a someone in the panic, I'm responsible for the very predictable consequences. If I promote tea leaves as an effective innoculation to measels preventing people to get a life-saving vaccination, I'm responsible for the predictable consequences. There's a fine line somewhere and probably has something to do with opinion vs fact, but it's not crossed here.
From https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/measles-outbreak/measles-o...

>In 2018, 349 individual cases of measles were confirmed in 26 states and the District of Columbia.

With a hospitalization rate of 1 in 4 and a death rate of 1-2 in 1000, and about 1 in a million people getting the disease per year, if you are terrified of your child getting measles, you should see a therapist.
I think the furore was about the government giving away taxpayer money to the biggest companies, who are not particularly good tenants and tend to change the face of existing neighborhoods.
That’s only true for some of these or some equivalence class .
Take gift and gift for German - English or bekommen and become and many more .
Not vaccinating when everyone else is vaccinated is indeed a more advantageous game strategy, because there is no risk to die from the virus, and no risk to die from a mistake. The problem is that if enough people take that strategy, there will be no herd immunity and chance of dying from virus will become much larger than chance of dying from a mistake ever was.

The sentiment against anti-vaxxers is not simply because people do not empathise with the fears of anti-vaxxers, but because anti-vaxxers refuse to take the small risk everyone else is taking, and in doing so endanger other people who could not get vaccination because of other illness.
I would have ruled for Elon simply because the plaintiff started by telling Elon to stick his submarine where it hurts.

You don't really get to initiate crude insults and then cry to the courts when you get one back in kind.
> It's called hyperlink and doesnt require any code or javascript to run.

Hyperlinks generally don't open themselves. There is an obvious exception -- img tags[1] -- and I think it's worth considering whether they should be allowed to have the behavior they do. As far as I see, img tags load themselves so that, if you're editing HTML by hand, you don't have to deal with binary image data in the middle of what was supposed to be a clean text file. That may not be the right tradeoff.

[1] The img model got extended to other external resource loads, like script and css. But both of those frequently do appear as part of the same HTML that uses them. Image data can, but usually doesn't.

Also, external script loads are such an obvious problem that we got the Content-Security-Policy just to deal with it.

they're not the same image it looks like (I dont see the exact overlap of amazon clouds the way her image is setup). You could make an argument for palette choice but i feel as if you shouldn't really be able to copyright pallete (though i do know you can trademark colors like UPS brown, which im not really happy about). Also this artist does pixel art which is pretty standard style, so there is a good chance someone could make something similar on their own without having look at her work.

MMmmm. Would have thought that was not a defense for him seeing as he then went on to call him a child rapist:

> “I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what’s actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you fucking asshole,” Musk wrote in the first message. “He’s an old, single white guy from England who’s been traveling to or living in Thailand for 30 to 40 years, mostly Pattaya Beach, until moving to Chiang Rai for a child bride who was about 12 years old at the time.”

That applies to queries but not more general TSQL with branching logic, etc.

PostgreSQL further allows tuning of whether the query plan is specialized based on parameter values.

Debian based, postfix, dovecot, mysql, postgray (spam mitigation), catchall for the entire domain and only access it from imap clients or ssh'ing in.

There are many subtle ways to tell if you are excelling at the art of programming. For example, if you have no life, but can prove it mathematically, then you're doing just as well as the rest of us.
I'm pretty sure that even in the midst of the Enlightenment, speech which directly encouraged violence, did harm or spread fraudulent ideas which led to death could be punished.
>My claim that `noun.verb` does not differ from `verb(noun)` in terms of modularity is _not_ that same as the (much broader) claim that OOP is isomorphic to FP. I have never made the latter claim, nor do I believe it to be true [1].

Yes but the context of the entire thread is OOP. The semantic claim is made in that context. Also intuitively everyone who reads that will think noun.verb is OOP and verb(noun) is not. It's more like you moved the goal posts.

This also contradicts your claim of FP being different from OOP despite semantic equivalence. If there was only a semantic equivalence between noun.verb and verb(noun) then this implies OOP and FP are isomorphic. There is no other way to call functions or methods in either case and therefore they are the same under this misguided logic.

>Maybe you just misunderstood what I was attempting to say? (this is me giving you a chance to save face)

Save face from what? The thousands of people watching this conversation? I don't even care... this is the internet. Nothing was misunderstood by me. You're the one that's misunderstanding.

>If I were pressed to describe the relationship between OOP and FP, I would say they are complimentary approaches to designing software (in reference to the expression problem). I _wouldn't_ go so far as to say they are incompatible with one another: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3949618/are-fp-and-oo-or.... (as a matter of sheer coincidence many of the answers also discuss OOP and mutability)

The expression problem is the same problem in FP and OOP according to your semantic equivalence logic. Simply rewriting noun.verb into verb(noun)and vice versa makes both data and operation problems exist in all forms of programming ONLY when values are immutable.

Another way to put it is that FP/immutability solves the expression problem by allowing you to change between the two styles of organization.

When OOP is immutable the two approaches are not orthogonal, they become parallel or identical. It is only when mutability is forced by only allowing member functions that mutate values rather then return results does the expression problem begin to change. This is when both design paradigms actually change and the dichotomy of the expression problem becomes apparent in the context of OOP and FP.

Stack overflow is even less credible than a medium blog post. There's no reason to resort to what you perceive to be authority to dictate what OOP and FP is. I don't even believe there's an officially sourced definition. All you need to do is take what humans as a majority intuitively understand as OOP and translate that into english. Likely when you ask a typical layman to translate his own intuition he'll get it wrong like the teeming millions on the internet. Just use logic to translate the ludicrous consequences of various "proposed" definitions to see which are valid.
GM Crops Like Golden Rice Will Save Lives of Hundreds of Thousands of Children
I'm disappointed. Money and influence defeated a just outcome. Hiring the private investigator speaks of bad intent: Musk should not have been allowed to claim " I didn't mean it" if he went looking for evidence that.. he did mean it.
> fraud, slander, libel, incitement to violence, conspiracy, etc.

Let's go one by one:

* Fraud: not sure what you mean here. Fraudulent speech? Lying isn't a crime. Fraud is a crime that might involve speech, but there are more elements than simply stating an untruth.

* Slander/libel: Yes, this is an exception, but it is notably narrow and again has additional required elements.

* Incitement to violence: Nope. Incitement to _lawless_ action is simply one of the elements of the sole case in which someone can be prosecuted for _speech alone_ ("directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.")

* Conspiracy: Again, unsure what you mean. Where is the "conspiracy" exception to free speech?
The problem with arguing against anti-vaxxers is the disconnect between vaccinations and the lives they save.

Proper vaccination is entirely invisible. When people die due to a vaccination not being 100% effective or due to a bad reaction, people claim it's useless. Then more people stop vaccinating, which then hurts herd immunity and makes the vaccine less effective which then causes more people to not take it and start a nasty cycle.

You can't point to the lives vaccines have saved until you have a travesty caused by people not being vaccinated. Unfortunately this cycle will likely make completely eradicating diseases in the future really difficult without compulsory vaccinations.
In this case yes, Brave's POV is that ads that are hosted and powered by the publisher you chose to read are in fact OK. Brave isn't anti-ads so much as it's anti-cross site tracking and ad serving.
> But to add a serious note, why is every dependency on the environment so complicated that we just wrap it in some container to just get rid of it?

Bad build/dependency-management tooling and non-perfect abstractions over system APIs probably account for most of the issue.

Containers are conceptually useful; it's nice to have ephemeral, isolated environments. But if it literally eats all of the CPU it can get its hands on, then it's not useful.
Doubtful that is illiberal. Many liberal democracies have different views on free speech than the USA.
I did a visual version of this some years ago to reason about companies and products.

https://www.qtra.io/hn-comment-bizmodels (pdf)

The "Arbitrage" version isn't labelled properly, but it's basically taking money from a buyer in one market and buying from a seller in another market, then delivering the service back between markets.

It's convoluted and reflects thinking from 5 years ago, but if a product/company doesn't make money one of these ways, it probably doesn't make money, and if it does, metrics are just a matter of scaling numbers in one of the nodes.
Has Elizabeth Warren Wrecked the Left?
Same reason as we're afraid of flying, I guess.

Part of the reason is probably because we're still given captchas asking us to identify lights, buses and zebra crossings.

It could also be that it's killing people from a specific bug. A car might be blind to say, someone wearing a black and white shirt, or maybe a green car and 95% ory deaths could be from that.
But the English word "journey" has precisely the same roots as today's French "journée": A journey may have been a day's worth of traveling. A "journeyman" was paid day by day.
I love this idea. I don't understand why, in this day and age, I need a kitchen in my house. I'm not a chef. I don't have a wood shop or an auto shop in my house. I don't grow my own food or have my own cows. Cooking for myself seems like an old fashioned kind of thing to me.
Odd considering that Musk hired a personal investigator (apparently a fraudster) in a misguided attempt to prove that Unsworth was, in fact, a pedophile. Kinda defeats that argument, doesn't it?
> So why are we pretending you can write generic code in languages designed for CPUs and have them run performantly on FPGA?

Because software people have never paid a cost for state in their programming.

Software folks are so poor at managing state that some clever people actually built entire languages around that fact (garbage collection).

I'm optimistic though--Rust is really the first example of "Managing state is pain in the ass--maybe we need to rethink this" that exists in programming languages. I suspect more are to follow.
Obviously just speculating, but I would imagine a mitigating factor was that Elon and Unsworth were already involved in a public spat before the tweet in question.

I think if you tell someone to sodomize themselves with a submarine, you may get called names in return. To then run to the courts demanding $190 million in damages is a bit of a stretch.

Another factor could be that Musk was persuasive in convincing the jury that he wasn’t asserting a fact that he knew was false in that tweet, but an insulting colloquialism, which would not meet the definition of defamation (as I understand it - and IANAL).

Ultimately how you evaluate the result is in the eye of the beholder.

It does seem to me that Musk has learned from this, and there’s been a notable lack of controversy in his Twitter feed over the last several months.
That’s basically the footprint of 1500-2000 employees.

A FAR cry from the 25,000 they were planning for HQ2.

There where actually 2 critiques and their practice would count as fraud in a lot of countries.

#1 Money was re-distributed if donated and not claimed -> its not frozen infinite.

#2 There was no way to opt out -> its now opt in iirc

Besides that there are other critique points.

#1 Brave is controlling the add economy. They do this by blocking adds and offering their opt in add service(and gain 30% of the add revenue)

#2 Brave is using its own crypto currency to have full control over the money flow.

What additionally lowers their credibility is that they put false advertisement on their website.

This makes me wounder whats the incent to use brave.
I'm not sure I follow the connection to Tuskegee (I assume you're referring to the syphilis experiment?)
He explains in the next paragraph? He doesn't consider human intelligence to be general.
Musk apparently hired an 'investigator' who turned out to be a conman who came up with this tidbit.

He had no actual knowledge that the guy wasn't a child rapist, and he did use reasonable care to verify his "facts", so it wasn't willful defamation.
Like many things in life, the fight between good actors and bad actors online is a state of dynamic equilibrium.

Everybody loses money to fraud, but as long as they invest enough money and resources they can keep those fraud losses to an acceptable level. Because criminals are infinitely creative, the problem will never be "solved." There will always be new moves and new countermoves.

Total security is an illusion. Everyone who's worth hacking or worth defrauding will get hacked or defrauded sooner or later. The people who have made the necessary investments are able the contain the damage. The other ones, or the really unlucky ones, end up dying off.

So I guess what's the countdown now until Musk pulls something like this again after having been emboldened to terrorize people with his money?
Insults are protected free speech?

Elon Musk is a dickhole.
Absolutely. Vaccines without proper safety and effectiveness results, and those without a decent cost-benefit ratio should not be required. Access to those which are safe and effective should not be denied.
have you never heard of urban dictionary before? they're all user submitted joke definitions...
The other crux, which I'd say affects my thought process, is that Unsworth seemed unable to prove damages. If no damage was done (or could be proven), then Musk is innocent.

The precedent this sets is bad IMO. I wish there was some degree of damages awarded here. But I can see the argument playing out like that legally. Like the saying goes: no harm, no foul. If Unsworth literally wasn't damaged by this event, then Musk has to be innocent.
Ah a nice Friday afternoon news dump using the tail between their legs to brush this under the rug as much as possible.

Not really -- defamation is extremely hard to win the US, and has to be both demonstrably false and reckless.

The fact that he hired a pro investigator (or at least one who professionally held himself out as one) kind of makes 'reckless' hard to prove.
I've never heard people refer to Italy as "central Europe", personally.
The jury can award an amount they feel is appropriate. There are actual, measurable damages involved in a case like this, then there are punitive damages that are awarded with the intent to deter future behavior like this.

I have a serious question about your question, understood under the current regime rules: How does one build and maintain a "global heartbeat of the information age" without return to the funders?

Even if I was an inventor that wanted to build one of these things for no personal benefit, until it was profitable (under some business model), it could not sustain without the goodwill of grant-givers or the greed of investors that knew their money would be returned to them under some sort of risk-adjusted time-based return calculation.

In other words - who can afford to do something like this for free? (Now - I am not a fan of Twitter, so if the answer was "no one", it wouldn't hurt my feelings, but I guess some people think that it is important somehow?)
Yes. Why wouldn’t they be?
Also, an activist shareholder is usually trying to make money on their investment. Otherwise you would just be an activist that happens to own shares.
I would lean towards the "insult" interpretation if not for Musk's later comments ("bet you a signed dollar it's true" and "stop defending child rapists").

I think this is a very poor result. $190M was obviously excessive, but $0 isn't right either.
