It's an interesting question. The yelling causes pretty much identical harm regardless of whether the fire is there. Evacuating (in general) is a difficult problem because you want to do it without letting everyone know what's going on.

We mostly say yelling "fire!" is ok when the fire exists because it looks bad to punish the true alarm, not because the false alarm is worse than the true one.
How is this not the consensus? This guy said on national television that Elon musk is a psychopath who has no empathy for dying children — that the submarine was purely a cold and calculated PR stunt. This is the embodiment of defamation. A stupid, brutish thing to say and it’s not factually correct to boot. And then he tops it all off by telling Elon musk he should shove the submarine up his ass. Seriously fuck this guy. In my opinion Elon musk should sue him for defamation.

But nobody cares about Elon musk because hEs RiCh So FuCk HiM
They could have awarded nominal damages, $1 or whatever.
The problem for me was this was right on the borderline because I was anticipating that Elon Musk really did know "something".
I was able to win by saying "live happily ever after" which was then followed by:

That was quite interesting to play this game! It's crazy the amount of content it was able to make up. I named myself Spongebob for fun and at one point it added a Mr. Krabs.
It really depends on the type of the project.

You generally use `cmd` package if you have more than 2 binaries in your project. Or, in rare case, where you ship a library and a binary (so you still can import a library by root package path).

Otherwise, you don't need cmd/ dir at all.
How did money and influence change the outcome? Genuinely curious
So like a food court in a mall.
The litigator asked for $5 Million in nominal damages.

If the litigator asked for $1 in nominal damages, maybe the Jury could have considered that as an option. But the litigator played the game this way.

EDIT: I'm not a lawyer, but I see why the litigator went with the "go big or go home" strategy, asking for $190 Million in total damages. But the strategy seems to have backfired.

So then I can call someone a "pedo", hire a personal investigator to prove that fact specifically, and then turn around and claim I didn't literally mean they were a pedophile?
That's like launching a game console with no games on launch day then. Even worse of a blunder from Magic Leap.
Brave’s primary value add is literally paying content creators directly with no ads.
Many ad blockers have baseline filters that block subdomains, URLs, etc. with common tracking terms in them (ex. "telemetry" or "tracking").
I believe that is why restaurants exist.
They have the same right a website has to show me ads.

Comments like this always comes from someone that creates a throwaway account just to make the comment. I'm always amazed at the effort that is put into stuff like this. Rather than dumping their garbage on HN, they should take it to the chans where it is generally expected.
It's defamation per se (he repeatedly accused Unsworth of being a pedophile), proving damages is not necessary. I...do not understand what the jury was thinking.
>Employees started receiving free headsets earlier this year, with some managers telling staffers it was because the company couldn’t sell enough and had extra inventory, said multiple people.

I applied for their developer grant program, and got offered a consolation prize of a free headset - that they wanted to send me a 1099 for the full price! Would have had to pay $600-1000 in taxes on it, so had to reject. Nice tax write-off opportunity with a bonus of good PR!
There was no pullout. The 'HQ' won't exist but they'll hire the same amount of new people.

They just wanted more tax breaks.
He just stated publicly that he didn't mean he was a real pedo, and suddenly the case goes away.

Two mental engagements with hydrocephalus in one week for me (an indirect contact suffers, has a shunt venting surplus fluids out of the brain)

This article reminded me of Luria "the man with a shattered world" because of the influence of brain trauma on thinking about consciousness, identity, theory of mind.
It is not at all obvious that stub resolvers are "braindead" and the "correct answer" is full recursive lookups on the desktop. One way you know this is that no mainstream operating system works this way; another way you know it is that the DNSSEC designers explicitly took stub resolvers into account; yet another is that full recursive lookups eliminates caching, which the DNS depends thoroughly on.

I'm not interested in a debate about a fictitious version of DNS that you make up as the discussion progresses. I think we can probably just wrap up here.
My comment wasn't about that. I was saying that, if the case did in fact hinge on what Musk meant by calling Unsworth "pedo guy", then it should have been a slam dunk in Unworth's favor. So then, by the contrapositive and crap, we should assume in a logical universe that the case didn't hinge on the meaning of the term "pedo guy."
Thanks for offering some clarification!

For the sake of argument, the law in Samoa under the state of emergency is that you must vaccinate. Is the accused not attempting to incite lawless behavior by telling people to not vaccinate? If one person resists because they read his FB posts, that seems enough to me.
You should consult a dictionary
I agree, I am a Elon fan. But if the lawsuit was a million dollars or less Elon should have to pay, 190 million is sheer greed. Even if the term is different where he came from, he knows international communications can be tricky.

Just ask the people Tesla fans have made fun of for trying to sell the ETron in France.
I love Louis Rossmann's commentary on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfSkgizGd0A

Apple knowingly sells a faulty product, for a fourth year now. In other cases they've fixed the defect; in this case they only introduced a repair program.

Rossmann of course is way more informative and colorful in his delivery. Well spent 8 minutes.

Loki: GitHub daemon for automating your translation pipeline
I've been a Google engineer for ~ 10 years. Reading things like their reasoning are always so painful to me as an employee:

> Google will do everything it can to ensure its ability to extract information about you [...] even without your consent and sometimes in direct opposition to existing national and international laws.

... and...

> Google is an information colonialist who want to seize all information both online and in real life – irrespective of who should have the right to access it"

Then I have to turn around and try to justify that I need obfuscated aggregated data about how our users use my product to determine what feature to work on.

Or I have to spend half a day going through user data sensitivity training about fictional consumer footwear. Again. Because I have to do it quarterly, even though the content doesn't change.

Or I write up a design doc where more than half of it is explaining how collecting what users could actually see on a page isn't PII, and it's being aggregated anyway, and we don't capture, target, or in any way interact with users under 13, and that the content team really does need this data because they use it to decide what to serve to the user next time so that the user feels like the experience is new and fresh and more interesting, and that if we see fewer then {x} unique users over a given period of time we'll literally delete the data to make sure that nobody can combine it to build any sort of PII profile, despite the fact that the entire table's data retention is {y} months anyway.

I get that it feels like Google sucks all this data in. And this data could be put together in various ways. And it's big and scary and opaque. And nobody outside knows what is really happening with this data, regardless of what the TOS says. But I can't imagine any level of transparency that would satisfy people. Either it's too detailed and we get accused of burying the data in legalese, or it's too thin and we get accused of being purposefully vague.

Rant over. I have a design doc to write.
Fwiw, the Cr-Bo-Sb cluster is complete bullshit. Those meanings are not unique for each country, I know all the meanings for all the words listed. Any differences depend more on the regional usage or context.

It was because you have to prove defamation and nothing bad happened to the guy as a result of what Musk said, so hard to prove they were defamed.
Debatable. Lying so as to cause immediate harm, and practicing medicine without a license, are neither of them new limitations to free speech.
If I was the judge I'd award Musk his legal fees and bill the plaintiff court costs. It was nothing more than a few back and forth schoolyard insults, and had no place being in court.

It shouldn't have gone beyond - "Now both of you boys apologize to each other and shake hands."
This is great. I've thought about making something like this myself.

One additional feature I thought would be useful is instapaper-like scraping of articles that get served in full in the newsletter. So I could share links to the article, the text would get scraped, and the newsletter would serve the full text.
No, that's just the American answer.

There is also difference between insulting a submarine, and telling someone to stick a submarine where it hurts. That's homosexual innuendo loaded with a phallic reference, about on par with a "pedo" insult.
That is my understanding as well, and having a directory tree that goes like "projectname/cmd/projectlibrary" seems super weird and non-idiomatic to me.

I enjoy cooking. Sometimes I cook by myself, sometimes I cook with my GF, so it's a couples activity. Sometimes I go full engineer and I measure everything with a kitchen scale (WTF is a "tbsp"?). Sometimes I feel more creative and go off piste, with varying results.

Cooking for yourself is also cheaper, healthier, and gives you full control over the inputs, the process, and the output.

Maybe it is old-fashioned. Then again, I am slowly acquiring woodworking tools (and leatherworking tools, and book restoration tools, and...) so maybe it's just a matter of personal taste. I've recently realized I'm a craftsman; this has both helped my understand my widely varying hobbies, and guiding me towards new things that interest me.
Also the potential markets affected. VR really only affects the games & entertainment market, which is big, but best case you're revolutionizing Hollywood. AR is applicable to a wide variety of B2B markets - surgery, piloting, hazardous waste removal, firefighting, the military, mining, tourism, deep sea exploration, science, space colonization, etc. - which collectively have much more money spent on them. Your total addressable market is basically the amount of money you can capture if everything goes perfectly, which is dictated by the amount spent on substitutes. AR has many more substitutes than VR.

Same reason cryptocurrency is hot - it threatens the financial/insurance/ownership industry, which as a $13T behemoth is currently the biggest economic prize on earth.

Can you provide citations for this? "Honest dealing" and "honest services" laws all require more than simply "untrue speech", in every case that I've seen.
Spot on. If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room. Failure is necessary for growth.
Perhaps the Utilitarian view is actually that freedom of speech leads to the best outcome for the most people, even with all of its negative side effects.

This is The Mostly Correct Answer.

Cause & effect got obscured by compounding factors, including, but not limited to: privatizing student loans, grade inflation, ratcheting up credentials, glut of labor, artificially constraining supply, the textbook racket, the standardized testing racket, the academic publishing racket, the money chase for funding basic research, and others I'm sure I've forgotten.

Of course not. But the litigator has to plant an agreeable idea into their brain. That's literally the litigator's job, and they clearly failed at it.

Its not the jury's job to come up with legal maneuvers. The jury are just normal people, like me or you, who may not know all the ins and outs of the law. The litigator makes a case, the litigator makes the arguments, and finally: the litigator bring up some options for what the jury can do.

That's the job of the lawyer in this situation: to bring up the best options for representing your case. The litigator went all in with a $190 Million accusation, ignoring the possibility of smaller fees or awards. Its a bold strategy, but it failed.

Like most extreme viewpoints, it's held by a small, yet vocal group. It's not remotely near the norm.

It should be noted that South Korea -does- have a lot of problems regarding sexism, crazy beauty standards, and so on. In the next couple of years I expect we'll see a lot of news come out of the kpop industry. Probably after yet more stars commit suicide and the issue gets too big to ignore. So it's not that hard to see why these kind of feminist groups pop up.

From my personal experience, I'd say the way older people in Korea view marriage / sex issues is something close to the US in the ~80s, mixed with the new generation that is tired and fed up. Then toss in a small but not insubstantial amount of Fundamentalist Christians who are extremely conservative (anti-LGBT as well).

Korea is going to change -a lot- in the next 10 years.
I'd say that extends to most generations, not just boomers :)
> What we really need is a way to pay for content so content creators can survive without ad revenue.

The browser does have that feature -- you can sign up to pay content creators while not signing up for the ads.

While I do understand the problem with privacy/tracking, I don't understand the visceral dislike of ads. Ads allow for this fantastic thing that is the WWW where so many nice and useful content and services is available for free to most users who will not really shell out money for things they weren't looking for in the first place -- all financed by the companies that can afford to pay for the ads.

With Brave's ads, it sort of seems like you don't give up much in terms of privacy and tracking -- though yeah it's the start of a slippery slope, but hopefully down the road, if they sell their soul and do more tracking, there will be someone else who'll then provide a "free" service that does less tracking :-).
I would hope they spend more money in actually teaching other languages then. The current quality of their app is just gamified vocabulary flash cards at best.
I don't think it was the key issue. Look at defamation suits in the US, they are notoriously hard to prove defamation. Here are some examples that highlight how hard it is for a plaintiff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_defamation_law#N...
Didn't he hire the investigator after making the claim? That would make it him trying to cover his ass after making an unfounded assertion, which fits pretty well into the reckless category.

What the investigator found (nothing in this case) is immaterial. The law should protect people from being defamed on a hunch that may or may not later turn out to be true.
The term comes from Schenk v. United States, and was used to argue that it wasn't unconstitutional to imprison a communist activist for printing and handing out flyers arguing that people shouldn't turn themselves in if they were to be drafted.

From a modern perspective what Schenk did appears incredibly tame, and I believe nearly anyone using the phrase today would find the central holding of the case absurd; I don't think any reasonable person nowadays believes asking people not to cooperate with the government in wartime should be illegal.

Brandenburg v. Ohio partially overturned Schenk, and while I agree reading about it is worthwhile unfortunately US law is sufficiently complicated that no one case exists that can be read to fully understand the current law around free speech in the US. I'd instead recommend the ACLU's position paper: https://www.aclu.org/other/freedom-expression-aclu-position-... . Note that while they make a very good case for what the law is, not every court in the country would agree with them.

> Rust simply doesn't let you do the things assembly and C programmers did all the time in 1978 (and with the complexity of our software now and the extra computing power, that's usually for the better).

Rust does let you do those things. You could run this repo through c2rust and get a working Rust program.

It'll be ugly Rust code, though.
Most projects I see put source at the root so it’s straightforward to import and if there is a commandline utility you can build it ends up in ./cmd/main.go or something.

One thing I dislike about go is that the way imports work you often see source code mixed with stuff like docker and make files.

> The main reason you hash passwords is so that if your database is compromised, it's difficult for an attacker to use that information to authenticate to another system. If your system is just an application that manipulates the database, it doesn't make much sense to protect the data from someone who has access to the database.

The SECOND reason is so that the attacker can't now login as the user and impersonate them.

Also, with this setup it looks like it's impossible for the user to ever change the password, so one accident with that password and it's time to get a new account.
> Those children didn't die from a vaccine, ... They died because of human error administering a vaccine.

This is a bad argument and does not work in practice, because people perceive it as a language trick. If a child was vaccinated and then died in a result of the process, most people call it "die from a vaccine" independently from the mechanism. Trying to make the risk of the process look smaller than it is by focusing attention on technical details makes conspirologically minded people who do not understand the details even more suspicious.

In other cases you mention people go to doctor, because they can clearly see that not going is way more risky. So a better argument is to remind them that if enough people choose to skip the vaccine the danger from the virus will be much higher than the danger of nurse making a mistake.

Enhancing management of your relational database seems to me quite in scope of your relational database management system. Whether the functionality exists as an arbitrary other program, in whatever miniscule chunk that fits your preference, or as part of an additional arbitrary SQL extension (we would all certainly love more random keywords/syntax), is unimportant.

The functionality/tooling is missing, or at best, lacking, and has nothing to do with a preference for no-bloat. It simply means that we have arbitrary, adhoc implementations to enhance the management of our failing management system. That the database must be babied is not a positive, and RDBMS are meant to remedy that.
FWIW, while the stats are appreciated, the remark about seeing a therapist is needlessly antagonistic.

How is this possible? I thought the driver didn't get to see the destination until they actually pick up the rider.
I guess It's about liability and reproducibility.

When someone does harm with his/her car, holds the civil (and sometimes penal) responsability of his own acts and usually cannot do harm more than once in a very small timeframe.

In the case of autonomous IA, the company making/coding the vehicle software will be liable, and the problem is very likely to show again in a short time period.

That makes this kind of companies technically on the verge of bankrupcy because they are a good target for class-action lawsuits.
