I most certainly meant ‘rationalization’, believing that freedom of expression, the most fundamental building block of a free society, should be restricted to your own idea of reasonable is absolutely something that you need to internally rationalize.

> your apparent supposition here is that lines regarding reasonable discourse should be scare quoted, or are mere matters of entirely subjective speculation.

Reasonable is an entirely subjective quality, there is no objective framework for divining reasonableness.

> If you want to fix your thinking on the topic

The fact that you believe you have some position of authority to dictate to others how they should “fix their thinking”, so that their thoughts are somehow more correct, really says a lot about you.

> The invitation to provide concrete examples of valuable discourse that's criminalized by hate speech

Here you go, legitimate religious speech resulting in a conviction:

Of course, please feel free to explain to me why none of that speech was reasonable in the first place. Perhaps you could enlighten me with some correct thinking.

CSS is a dystopian nightmare from a Lovecraftian dimension of metaphysical horror.

I had to do a teeny-tiny bit of CSS work before Christmas and I literally had to look up the edge cases and exceptions for all of the five common CSS statements I ended up using, because they were all context-dependent in insane ways - endless "This only works if XXXX is also applied here, but does nothing/fails silently if it isn't, even though you might expect it to work, and this mode is only documented on StackExchange etc because the official CSS docs are incomprehensible and no one ever reads them anyway. And by the way, you'll also need a file of resets for many of the most common options."

For Domain Fronting in particular it's embarrassing that pro-distributed people have taken it as a "victory" that AWS and Google disabled domain fronting used as an anti-censorship mechanism for Signal. That's both a terrible look "Ha! Our services are so unpopular nobody even cares to block them" and a grave misunderstanding of the situation.

The big CDNs and cloud service providers are actually very enthusiastic about domain fronting, what they blocked was the technical mechanism abused to make it happen, because it causes their reliability teams pain. Domain fronting means you figure out this is a request for thing-a.example.com using SNI, your backend systems cue up the Thing A service... and then during HTTP headers the client insists it intended to talk to thing-b.example.com all along instead and you've got to either give an error or somehow backtrack and make that happen. Doing this is very easy, indeed the default, in say one Apache httpd on a Linux box. But Google or AWS isn't a data centre full of Apache httpds on Linux boxes, it's a bit more complicated than that.

When I say they're enthusiastic I don't mean just empty words, the active direction of QUIC, eSNI, the revised HTTP service record for DNS and so on are all aligned with the domain fronting concept, just not in the form of abusing different protocol layers. They want to know early in the connection which service you're intending to reach, while preserving your privacy from snooping governments, etc.
Why a half-degree temperature rise is a big deal
How do you propose somebody demonstrate that something did not happen because of hate speech restrictions? It is very difficult to prove a negative. What we can do is reason over the situations that have cropped up. Do you think it's a net benefit to society that a teenager was arrested and had to wear an ankle bracelet for posting lyrics of a song on Instagram in remembrance of someone that was killed? Because I don't think that's good for society. I think that she's now much less likely to speak her mind on the future, because she has essentially already been punished for doing that in the past.

>Presumably you don't believe that being arrested for theft is a demonstration about how property law harms people.

Theft is demonstrably bad for society and it is generally easy to separate theft from non-theft. Therefore punishing theft is a net good for society, because we want to discourage theft.

I've not seen someone demonstrate that hate speech is bad for society. Furthermore, hate speech is not easy to separate from regular speech. This means that if you discourage hate speech you'll likely discourage some regular speech as well.
This is quite epic. It's like they live in a country where gov uses their brains to help.
One interesting observation on Oslo is that, pedestrians do cross the street when it's red for them, if there's no moving traffic close by. This is totally different from, for example, Copenhagen, Stockholm and places I visited in Germany. They're like Italians of the north.

That's probably why we felt at home on the streets during our stay there, as a family from Turkey. I would love to have that 0 deaths statistics here instead, though.
The IPCC reports are solid science not made by anonymous people on an Internet forum and claim the opposite of what you say. As I'm not an expert myself, I tend to trust the majority of the climate scientists.
Perhaps this would be another way to obfuscate the collection of metadata with techniques similar to anti-fingerprinting in Tor. An app like Signal could sync the time across all parties and send/receive all data in predetermined packet sizes and at predetermined delivery times across vast enough segments of their network. This would in theory make it a lot harder to infer who are the partners in a specific conversation based on timestamps and traffic volume.

The mechanism for picking the interval and packet size is debatable as long as the entropy of these values is low enough (does not allow for uniquely identifiable values). Maybe randomly from a list of predetermined values, taking into account some priority you set in advance, the size of the message, or the network conditions.

If every client/server on the network sent and received the data in synced identically looking bursts it might raise the bar for successful metadata analysis. Any chance Signal or any other app already do this?
Karmongers?
Perhaps NQRFS? (Not Quite ReiserFS) ?
Which side it happens to be is on entirely context-driven. If the object of "yak shaving" happens to be a mathematical proof, then the yak must be shaved. But if you have to get a system working within five minutes to stop your company losing ten million pounds, then the yak can remain unmolested.
I agree with you, maybe except about the atomicity part. When you use event sourcing, your source of truth becomes the event log, so transactioning against your local representation of the state does not give you the same guarantees.
Good food for thought, thanks.

From a little more digging to try to break out of my bubble, here are some reading references:

Of beef, pork, lamb, poultry, and fish -- only poultry has seen any broad increase in expenditure by UK households over the past few years (and slim, at 2%); all others have decreased or remained the same[0]. I'm not claiming that's related to environmental concerns directly but it shows some changes in behaviour.

Air travel passenger numbers are certainly on the rise[1], although interestingly the number of flights ('air travel movements') appears to be somewhat more muted. Even so, greenhouse gas emissions from aviation have certainly increased a lot since the 1990s.

Brexit and the prospect of a high-spending majority UK government could both have impacts on these over the next decade, no doubt - but in what direction I'm not sure.

I wonder also how the situation of Norway as a whole is? And is there a chart for other countries?
Good observation. The toy model in the paper has some obvious limits, for example it also doesn't account for accumulated capital allowing to "create your own luck" nor exploit successful events more easily.

However, neither accounting for endurance nor wealth changes the fact that luck is a main determinant of final success. Those with early luck will not need endurance to survive, and those with the longer overall run of lucky events will come on top of those with fewer lucky events.
Another site that shows a completely blank page when first-party cookies are disabled.

It seems like an epidemic lately. So much JS in the wild just stops cold when some cookie or LocalStorage permission isn't available, and that failure prevents some other JS from running that unhides the page or runs a CSS transition. It doesn't seem like long ago when most sites at least showed some content when cookies were disabled, but that's beginning to feel like the exception.
yea, I don't like articles like this for the same reason. nobody has the brain power (yet) to rewrite the entire stack in a gpu shader and add in complex logic and a dynamic interface. it's an optimization vs delivery tradeoff. If someone is getting payed to build a product, they must deliver it with the tools at hand, you can invest time to optimize it but it will come at a cost of less features. This also depends on the industry, if you are building lower stack drivers that others will depend on, you care about performance more. Higher level applications are more user oriented and care more about ui and features. organically, people tend to spend their time and braincells in the most valuable way they can. a lot of products, especially in the web world, features hold more value than performance. Once we get the agi thing going, we can just task it to strip and redesign the entire OS down to the kernel and tailored for every user, strip everything down to only the buttons that the user clicks. some granny only knows how to open up google and read her newspaper website, all that other code can be removed lol.

I am not quite understanding the missed improvement you are talking about.

Are you saying that instead of (or in addition to) "branch if equal", "branch if less than", etc there should be a "set if equal", "set if less than", etc? In case you are, there is a "set if less than" instruction. The floating point extension does have a "set if equal" instruction despite there not being an integer equivalent.

Alternatively if you are complaining about 1 representing True rather than ~0, I don't think that matters much from a technical POV.
That's not different at all. Why would Norwegians be different from other humans? I can confirm that Swedes and danes do this too.

And being of croatian descent I can confirm they do it there too. It's not a cultural thing, it's a human thing to be impatient.

If anything it speaks of the flow of traffic.

Here in Sweden you can often safely cross the street because the entire length of the street has lights that work in a pattern. So there are long gaps in traffic due to lights further up/downstream on the street.
“Hate speech” laws are simply enforcing an orthodox morality. In my life I’ve seen many different groups attempt it. When I was a kid it was conservative Christians lobbying Congress to get Twisted Sister off MTV, and god forbid (literally) you wanted to promote some sort of alternative sexuality... Luckily for us, society rejected the enforced morality then, just as its doing now with all the backlash against this sort of toxic politics.
Direct replies. One of the best features of tree-based discussion is that "thread-jacking" not only isn't a problem, it's beneficial. A discussion tree can handle subthreads and tangents just fine.
It Depends, as always. The problem React was originally solving was that DOM updates cause re-rendering which can be slow; jquery (usually) works directly in the DOM, so applications heavy in updates don't perform well.

So initially an equivalent React and jQuery app would have React look a lot faster, due to smart / batched DOM updates. However, because React is so fast it made people create apps differently.

As always in software development, an application will grow to fill up available performance / memory. If people were to develop on intentionally constricted computers they would do things differently.

(IIRC, at Facebook they'll throttle the internet on some days to 3g speeds to force this exact thing. Tangentially related, at Netflix (iirc) they have Chaos Monkey which randomly shuts down servers and causes problems, so errors are a day to day thing instead of an exception they've not foreseen).

The myth that a healthy life is expensive
It's a bit strange to use the population density of Australia to make a point, as the population density of Australia is one of the lowest in the world (3).

You're basically saying we should tackle Australia's 481 before China's 3523 or India's 716 or US' 702. Maybe we should tackle China first, as it is producing 45% of the world's coal, compared to 6% of Australia.

Now if you were to say that Australia is the 5th biggest producer of coal in the world, that'd be a more convincing argument.

I'm also surprised by Indonesia (6th). And the fact that Germany and Poland contribute 60% of the EU's (4th) coal production.
I can confirm that bicyclists often cross the street on red light. Almost every biker uses helmets in Oslo. In the netherlands you rarely see any helmets on bicyclists.
Ive been shouted at in Germany for crossing at red light, even with no car in sight, and for how bad an example this was for children at the scene.
It's being attributed to safer cars, better roads, lower speed limits, more cycle lanes and less cars in the city center. (cars were / are being banned from parts of the city)
Also there's a traffic law enabling pedestrians to freely cross the road if there is no obstruction to the traffic.

There's still some people that don't know their limits, but that gives an idea of how this works in practice
Interesting point, but I'm under the impression (after living in Oslo my entire life) that it has to do with a well laid out seperation between heavy traffic (ie. buses) and pedestrians, along with relatively low speed limits and restrictions on private cars in the city center.
These are different types of changes like lane narrowing or lane marker omitting that don't aim to make driving less intuitive, but to decrease the perceived safe speed of travel. They're trying to make driving feel more difficult without actually increasing the danger level, which in theory decreases the danger for everyone else on the road without actually endangering drivers.
Ask HN: How do you get things done?

It makes me wonder whether quantum computers can actually solve problems... Does this mean that each person can get a different result from the same calculation done by the same quantum computer?

So why is it persistently, perniciously and stubbornly insistent in refusing to spell 'naughty' words like 'duck'?
Do you have a reference for that, out of interest?

That might genuinely be the intention but I'd worry that -- depending on the kind of 'challenge' added to roads -- it might not always work out for the best.
I see two alternatives, each sufficient:

1. Expansionist civilizations eventually encounter another one, and reliably obliterate one another. (Note, this is not "Dark Forest": it requires no long-lasting structure of any kind, just the occasional chance encounter that turns out badly.)

2. Expansionist civilizations find goldielocks planets both unnecessary and limiting, and just leave them the hell alone. They probably mostly use Neptune-like planets, when they have a use for a planet at all. Maybe they are at "our" Neptune right now, and have not contacted us, because why bother? We're "made out of meat".

You can do it with a single bit: Read the whole unit (eg 64 bit), flip the big you need, and then do a Compare exchange which tries to replace the whole retrieved thingy with the modified one.

That obviously requires you to read the current state upfront, whereas a plan compare exchange from 0 to 1 on 32/64Bit avoids that.

A curated list of resources dedicated to Natural Language Generation
I am reading your comments with interest. I do not find myself losing time using Typescript, quite the opposite, typing is in code documentation. And I find it much easier to read than untyped code. You say that TS dev focus more on code, maybe it is because they like to focus more on code that they use TS. I do agree you can waste time searching how to type a complicated piece of code. Meanwhile it is worth typing that piece of code if it is subject to change, or that the usage of it is not easy to understand.
I would like to see your break down your belief structure a bit more, so I can understand it.

Which of you do you believe?

1. That CO2 isn't a greenhouse gas?
2. That increasing the concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere doesn't influence global temperatures?
3. That human activity hasn't increased CO2 concentrations significantly.

If you answer those, we'll be able to know where your head is a bit better.

FWIW, no-one has ever argued that CO2 levels is the only factor effecting climate.
Maybe we don't see them because they aren't as numerous, because they aren't interested in spreading out. Maybe the "drive" to spread out and colonize the universe or the cultures that would encourage that frame of thought are linked to a propensity to wage war or other some other counterproductive behavior that results in extinction before achieving the ability to colonize the stars.
I only released the first test version a week ago and it's relying on the beta of godot as well as a patched export template to support hand tracking, that's why I haven't released it yet. There is currently development going on to integrate the necessary changes into the godot_oculus_mobile plugin and into Godot itself to support that. Once it can be run without patching several different components I will add the source.
Or if too many people ask and giving that explanation becomes more work than actually supporting them to get it running before everything works out of the box :)
Much of Scandinavia is good at this, except when it comes to old city centres. And I believe Oslo has a large old and hilly centre.

So we're good at separating bikes from cars, when it's practical and when we have the space to do so. Gothenburg and Stockholm city centres are two bad examples. While Malmö city is a very good example.
Excuse my ignorance, can anyone explain to me what makes it so difficult to extinguish the fire? (This question is not meant to be an ass) I tried to google it, but couldn't find a proper answer. I'm just really curious.
"I can't think of a single legitimate use case that couldn't be solved better than by hiding your true capabilities, and thus wasting people's time."

Consider a loading spinner with a line of copy that explains what's happening. Say it's for an action that can take anywhere from 20 milliseconds to several seconds, based on a combination of factors that are hard to predict beforehand. At the low end, showing the spinner will result in it flashing on the screen jarringly for just a frame. To the user it will appear as some kind of visual glitch since they won't have time to even make out what it is, much less read the copy.

In situations like this, it's often a good idea to introduce an artificial delay up to a floor that gives the user time to register what's happening and read the copy.

There are many factors. Cars are getting safer, streets are getting safer, LED lighting has vastly improved visibility for cars and bikes and pedestrians, and also that Norwegian driver education is very thorough.

Drivers ed starts with a 17 hours (2/3 days) theory course, then you are allowed at 16 to start practice driving with parent/other experienced driver in the passenger seat, then you do mandatory hands-on courses on: night driving, cold weather driving, safety driving (on closed track); typically you take at least 5-10 driving lessons on public roads with a certified instructor, then you can take the theoretical exam, and finally the 1-hour driving test before you get your certificate.

Is it a persecution complex when many of these kinds of "technical errors" seem to so often befall people from one political persuasion? Some of them clearly weren't errors and that has happened enough that people stop believing that it's just an error, because these companies have demonstrated in the past that they don't mind doing moves such as that.
