> Most of them _everyone_ knew about for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years

This is false.

For most of the past several thousand years of history, "knowledge" has been imposed and speech has been restricted by religious and/or political decree.

Freedom of speech, along with the value of the individual, are enlightenment values - i.e., they have only been around for a couple of hundred years, and even then only in a few parts of the world, and even then they have continued to be suppressed and assaulted at every opportunity.

But those of us who have been lucky enough to grow up in societies that have relatively high levels of freedom of speech and freedom of the individual can easily take these freedoms for granted.

But if you look at all the positive societal changes that are espoused by people who believe in liberal values: workers' rights, women's rights (to vote, work, refuse or leave marriage, own property, drive), equality and rights for racial/religious minorities, immigrants, the disabled, gay people, etc; these changes have happened first where there has been the greatest freedom of speech.

Yes I know it's unpleasant to hear speech that feels uncomfortable or dangerous, but be assured it is immeasurably better than the alternative.

Edit:

For what it's worth, I've been paying attention to the David Icke story since he first appeared on London Real a few weeks ago, and I'm a financial supporter of an investigative reporter who has gone deep researching and revealing the possibility that this whole thing looks like a financial scam by London Real.

It looks every bit like The Streisand Effect is at work here, and that YouTube's ban of Icke is only serving to amplify his signal, increase his following and generate huge amounts of money for London Real (and possibly Icke too).

So it's the Hydra myth playing out yet again. Be careful what you wish for.
/r/fatpeoplehate was a lot more than just fat shaming. It was closer to cult than anything.
looks like that clip of her is looped, so it might just be a random hand movement that looks meaningful bc you see it twice
Show HN: "Manool" (emerging programming language) Tutorial – Lesson 1
Actually, Galileo did largely deliver self-aggrandizing spittle-flecked rants, full of personal attacks against other astronomers, which were complete rubbish. His arguments for why the Earth revolved around the Sun were complete nonsense, and were more theological, than scientific in nature.

His contemporaries were not particularly impressed, but he probably wouldn't have been censored, if he also didn't try his damned hardest to personally piss off everyone in his social circle.

His 'efforts' probably set the adoption of heliocentrism back by decades.
Heck, IMO even one server is risky to manage manually. If you're making all your config changes from a prompt it's easy to forget how or why you set something up a specific way and end up with a huge pain when you need to do it again. A config management tool gives you executable documentation for exactly how the server is set up should you ever need to recreate it from scratch.
Even after the 2.x/3.x debacle, it's not as simple as keeping everything current. For example, until very recently, Tensorflow would work on Python 3.7 but not on 3.8. TF is just one well-known example, but version incompatibilities are common enough that many Python devs keep multiple virtual envs.
> Period.

No, actually. Why do these "preview" pages have songs that unlock after I buy if they're just previews? Why does the collection page (heart icon) open a player when I play an album directly from there?
You’ll never get those add-ons in a free package, as it takes institutional knowledge and full-time work to develop it, which cost $$.

Cadence, Keysight, etc. provide the licenses to universities, not individual students, but they are pretty easy to get. Sounds like you need to work the channels through a professor.
> When did scientific racism die out? Mainstream US publications are still publishing op-eds that assume scientific racism is a legitimate topic.

I encourage you to review some of the early to mid 20th-century publications on the topic. "Science" backing segregation. Americans pontificating about whether Hitler was right or that blacks should be sterilized, and then actually doing it. Doctors. In hospitals. "Three generations of imbeciles are enough" from the US Supreme Court.

If you think we're in the same state now as we were then, you don't know where we were then.

> I'm not sure how effective a disinfectant sunlight is if it takes centuries to work.

You would prefer the alternative where anything contradicting the then-prevailing doctrine of racial supremacy and eugenics was censored? How long does the truth take to get out in that case? And what happens in the meantime?
You are right but it doesn't have anything to do with the abilities of the hardware or software they provide.

The medium is more approachable, therefore attracts more casual gamers and many of these casual games have stunning graphics, physics and gameplay.

There are also games that require more serious skills, games like Pubg Mobile and to be honest, I like the mobile version more than the desktop version.
Ask HN: How do you think about online art exhibition
Galleries and museums closed during the Covid-19. Most of the exhibitions are move online. How do you think the online exhibition will affect people appreciating and buying art?
What's wrong with leaving the app to talk to my friend who is on the app about some content on the app?
Yes, but the effect of this CDC stance is far worse than it sounds. Because of the CDC policy that masks have not been proven to be useful, many health workers have been forbidden to wear them. (source: someone close to me)
>It’s a good default too since it’s weird that “logging out” doesn’t imply “and end all my programs.”

I have to disagree, I don't think I've ever run something where what I intend is "kill this mid-run if my connection drops".

>This is basically the same behavior as Windows

My recollection from when I used Windows Server (admittedly some time ago) is that the default behavior on connection loss or closing an RDP window is indeed the tmux-like behavior. The user has to click a separate "Log out" button, and even then, has to manually confirm that it's okay to kill anything left running.
Thank you Don! I was going to comment that I wrote a 6502 assembler in Logo for the Apple II and the C64 and it shipped with it and it was documented how to write in assembler. I was hoping to hear some kid learned 6502 assembler from it. That counts you out since you already knew 6502 assembler.
Would be great to get an export that preserves the image of the trip map showing the path, even as a zipped folder full of thumbnails. Now do I write a script to scrape a screen shot of the 1700 trips, or write some code to use the exported encoded polyline (lose brake/mph/accel data on map)?
This is more of the same sanctimonious toxicity. You don't know me. I already donate to act blue. I already go to political rally's. I already help get friends to go vote. I already am a member of local political groups. I am still not represented. No state or federal ballot I have ever cast has counted.

Please don't tell people that they would ever deserve our current leaders. People deserve safety, stability, and basic decency, no matter what. Even if they make a mistake. Especially then. People deserve better.
I'm mostly the same way. I think people go to school and get the idea deeply embedded in them that they need to have homework and proper study time or they're not learning. Yeah, there's tons to learn about computer science, but you don't need to learn it all. Learn what interests you, and if you really need a job, learn what will get you a job.

Personally I go for smaller coding exercises, things like exercism.io, simply because I don't have the free time to embark on huge projects. I find that these are a good way to learn new languages. And they also remind me why I love programming in the first place, because I get to work in a pure problem-solving space, without the bearocracy, deadlines, etc, that I get in my day job.
You can't yell fire in a movie theater. David Icke is basically doing the same... risking peoples lives so free speech doesn't cover him.
I'm not sure the HN community participates in the CABG PCI wars, but maybe your comment will lead to a fiery debate.
Eh, I think the data is controversial and case-dependent in two-vessel disease. If this were three vessel disease, the data is far more in favor of CABG. The fluoroscopy doesn't look convincing to me of major stenosis, so a PCI/stent could certainly be placed for symptomatic relief without a CABG.

Additionally, the patient definitely did not need emergency CABG. My understanding is that CABG could be completed after stenting, and may very well have happened for this patient without our knowledge.
Extremely paraphrasing, ryankemper's original comment was something like "We shouldn't let private companies decide who to boot off. Besides, booting them off doesn't work anyway".

Then techsupporter said something like "actually, booting them off does work".

Finally, paraphrasing your comment, "so you're saying you should let private companies decide?" No, that is clearly not what techsupporter's comment meant.

It's ok to disagree with the second half of that first comment ("booting them off doesn't work") without expressing an opinion on the first half. In fact the way the original comment ties together those two things has has led to the quagmire of crossed arguments you're seeing in these comments, so untying them is quite important.
Sadly, systemd has corporate backing, which is a very hard fight to win for a ragtag bunch of nerds with dayjobs who have the completely unreasonable expectation of not having their shit broken, regardless of how much energy we have. Money and full-time devs beats energy every day of the week.
Yeah, the shady/deceptive/misleading/false pricing you mentioned is foolish. ("Free delivery"* after undisclosed $10 platform fee and $4 processing fee.)

Destroying tech industry reputations and eroding trust is not a good long term play.

It's no better than infomercials touting free products with "just pay shipping and handling". Same sleaze, different generation.
YouTube is just a video advertising platform. Anyone can host a video virtually anywhere on the internet. You don’t have a right to use YouTube.

If you want to upload some videos spreading some fake news propaganda there are quite literally thousands of different sites and services to do that.

Google and YouTube have no legal or moral obligation to allow you to use their specific services.

The only grey area here is when there is a true monopoly.
Interesting, do you have further reading on this to recommend?
Most banks have a window of a couple of hours per night where access to the core system is restricted for settlement. It's kind of a necessity of the business model. However most banks (including every bank I've ever worked at, which is quite a few), don't shut down services during that time. ATM, credit and debit cards, everything else... All those systems run all the time. They just have an eventual consistency model. The compromise that the banks tend to make, is that certain types of fraud are more tolerated during that window, rather than sacrificing availability.
It seems to be fixed now. Thanks.
A lot of deaf people still use fax machines to do things like place orders (often older deaf folks that can't or won't use email... or when trying to deal with orgs that don't check their email). It's a very accessible technology (except for the blind I suppose). This was the case when I was working with some deaf people around 8 years ago, maybe things have changed since then as fax machines have become less common. But fax is still very popular in Japan IIRC.

For a while, it was handy to be able to fax forms to Studylink and WINZ (New Zealand social security/student loans orgs), but they have recently set up a website where you just scan or photograph documents and upload them.
It is a prevalent hand gesture in the Indian subcontinent. Could mean a lot of things, and interpreted along with the facial expression. In this case, it means "That's pretty cool", looking at her facial expressions.

It could mean "What the heck is going on?", when accompanied with a different facial expression.
Definitely! The other thing I'd recommend is something kanban-esque. E.g., you have max 1 thing you're working on, max 3 ideas that you think are your best things to do next, and then the rest in a big pile.

This has a few benefits for me. The top 3 unstarted ideas help defend the thing I'm working on. If I think of something new, I first have to ask myself if it's better than the top 3. Usually it isn't so it goes in the backlog.

Then if I'm starting to question the thing I'm working on, I can say, "Has something changed such that killing this and switching to one of the top 3 a better use of my time?" Having things to compare it with helps ground my thinkin.
That's for Norway only, though, right?
I agree. It's the spirit in which these actions have been taken, as if to conform to a narrative, which in itself, has see-sawed between facts and fiction, as to almost being intentionally confusing. It's not a "conspiracy theory" to ask questions, critical thinking has taken a huge blow since 9/11.
py34 asyncio was provisional (read: experimental, API in flux). It was very clearly labeled as such in both py34 and py35.[1][2] In py36 it was no longer provisional, but async/await syntax was established in py35 and asyncio.async was already deprecated back then. Using an example of a clearly experimental and evolving feature as breaking backwards-compatibility is disingenuous.

Now, there are actual backwards-incompatible changes that aren't made after at least two versions of deprecation, but those tend to be low level and subtle.

[1] https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/asyncio.html

[2] https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/asyncio.html

More on provisional API:

https://docs.python.org/3.8/glossary.html#term-provisional-a...

> A provisional API is one which has been deliberately excluded from the standard library’s backwards compatibility guarantees. While major changes to such interfaces are not expected, as long as they are marked provisional, backwards incompatible changes (up to and including removal of the interface) may occur if deemed necessary by core developers. Such changes will not be made gratuitously – they will occur only if serious fundamental flaws are uncovered that were missed prior to the inclusion of the API.
Could be worse, try to run a C++ project next time! But yeah, the same applies to Ruby, Node, even C# (msbuild or CSX) and PowerShell modules. You have to know enough to know enough to get started.

About the only thing that reliably works besides "install Docker" is getting a bash shell going and pasting in a curl link, assuming your operating system is supported by whatever it is. That said, a close runner-up, that doesn't require bash and curl to be installed, would be Node's npx. Just run it, and "it works" even if whatever it is isn't installed. (Unless whatever it is doesn't have a precompiled binary for your system published and you then need to install CMake and compile tool chains like Xcode or Tools for VS)
I used to naively believe that education and more information will fix a lot of things in the world. People will want to study and think and they will be enlightened.

I don't believe that anymore. For one reason, studying is hard, critical thinking is hard. Even with given free time and privilege (hello UBI?), most people will not prefer studying or thinking critically. They'd rather parrot things from the internet and the media around them.
In the US (and Europe, too, I believe) food manufacturers are increasingly mandated to be able to trace their ingredients back to the original source. Each handler along the way is expected to do this, so theoretically there's a paper trail from the beginning to the end on a store shelf.

If there are particular foods for which you'd like this information, I would check company websites and then reach out to producers if that isn't getting the information you want. I can't say how forthcoming companies are with this documentation. Keep in mind trade secrets could be involved that might be violated just by providing that level of specificity.
These are very good suggestions. Do read the books mentioned above. But remember that you don't have to read all these books to begin focussed study. Main problem is removing distractions. It takes practice, I am still struggling with it even after months of practice. It takes time, believe in the system. Also, self-compassion and habits help.
There is no specific TLS flaw. The TLS spec is very complicated, so it's difficult to make a library that implements it without bugs. Insofar as TLS implementations have bugs, the TLS implementation in by browser can be updated to fix those bugs. The TLS implementation in my IME cannot.

You'd think they don't want people to learn to use their software.

I feel like they work on the same principle as Adobe: pirate our software when you're learning, so you get used to it, then pay for it/ask your company to pay for it when you're working. I clearly remember one of the top Google recommended searches for "Altium" was "Altium full crack download"...
Utah Tech CEO Used Covid-19 IT Deal to Profit from Drug Sales to State
>However, I have repeatedly seen the opposite: Sharing bad ideas increases their audience, increases ignorance, hate, fear, and human suffering.

A lot of time hate is already there, just it doesn't find a way out untill someone shows there is no consequence of doing so.

Hitler is one example of this who harnessed anti Jewish sentiments, he didn't create it, you can't make so many people change their beliefs.
I feel like we're going in circles here. Even if every single site and app coordinated to kick off David Icke, he would end up, at worst, as silenced as the average American in the year 2000. It just doesn't seem all that bad to me.
> camera and controls were a mess

Unfortunately the HD edition did not include the 3D camera from Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, which is MASSIVELY better than the original fixed camera in Snake Eater.
That seems a little excessive.
An alternative is https://tailwind.build/ which is a similar concept and way cheaper
I’ve seen a big bank spin up a dev environment in a cloud for a lending platform at a cost north of $36M a year before they finished the requirements for the project.

Not impossible at all to believe they could cut $10M/month from could spend at a big enough company just by trying.
Quite the resource list, Don! You should put in links to the Adventure game you wrote for the C64 Logo, and we listed you by name and age.

The assembler was already chosen, probably by Steve Hain or Gary Drescher. I believe it was CROSS. It annoyed me that I would get phase errors if I edited during the first pass which was like 10 or 15 minutes at night so I wrote a one-pass assembler in MacLisp, but it was slower to finish than the first pass of CROSS so I translated it to Logo and Hal said to put it on the utilities disk. I can't remember who added .output and .input but Logo had had them before the Apple II, I think 11Logo had it.
Many people outside of Silicon Valley have temporarily (in theory) had their salaries cut. 20% less work for 25-30% less pay sounds like it devalues employee time far more than it devalues the dollar.
The federal government can and does come in, commandeer any goods needed on a NATSEC basis, They will pay the better of the list price or the most favored contract price. Take the goods, cut a check on the spot. Your other customers can and will wait. Period.

So, you would need to establish solid pricing history for your stockpile.

What you are reading is likely commercial transactions. You should also note that some of those vendors have been snd will be busted by the FBI for price gouging. E.g., one guy in Brooklyn got busted with truckloads of N95 masks & PPE, they just arrested him, logged the gear & donated it.

Your multiple needs to be very sane, or you are relying only on luck - they like to make examples of that kind of of behavior...
That's not what the first amendment says. The first amending only stops the government from enacting laws that limit speech. Private companies and individuals are free to limit speech however they like on their own platforms and environments (within the bounds of the law of course).

The first amendment is like 50 words long, you should read it.

@imgabe says it well in this comment section:

> YouTube has clear policies prohibiting any content that disputes the existence and transmission of Covid-19 as described by the WHO [World Health Organization] and the NHS [the U.K's healthcare system] [emphasis added]

The WHO at least has been flat out wrong several times during this pandemic, such as telling people not to wear masks. Anointing one agency as the sole source of truth and censoring anything that contradicts it is not going to lead to a good outcome. People need to be able to question authorities.
Scariest Short Film Ever
> You are the wrong person for the job

The first rule of "some level of self awareness" is to not completely hand yourself over to survivorship bias. So the argument is that Mark is a smart hacker and possesses "balls of steel" -> Mark is successful? And because you're the opposite way -> you'll fail?

No. He's been completely blindsided by survivorship bias. It's actually the other way, from that Mark became very successful (via good luck which was probably modulated by some highly attainable level of skill in execution) -> everyone thinks Mark is a super hacker with balls of steel.

It's terrible advice which gives you premonitions about yourself which would keep you from even trying. Or maybe the author can actually tell innate potential to some uncanny degree, in which case he should join YC to vet founders.
YouTube is trying very hard to become the new MTV.
The entire text of the first amendment, seeing as it seems like a lot of people like to reference it without actually knowing (or pretending not to know) what it says:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Faxes date from just after the civil war area. They were in common usage for transmitting contracts by the 1880s. Photographic material by the 1920s

> However, if you login to a graphical desktop, that is not a text terminal, and therefore everything is effectively nohup'd

Systemd's revamped notion of "session" includes graphical ones. Yes, that's different from the legacy sense of a mere text-terminal window. But since they've had to reimplement the whole concept of graphical sessions anyway, they could have made them work like textual ones. If you're not running a session manager as part of your windowed environment (almost everyone is these days) the whole thing might break, but then you can just enable the hacky "lingering" mode to make it work and you're no worse off than before.
Still have to have a BS. And generally transfers between MS programs aren't allowed.
