> that they were certified before with ample indications the autonomy was stripped away suggests that the decision is largely political as opposed to the noble goal of preventing human rights violations

Of course it's political. The same way Beijing's national security law, and through it, repudiation of its 1997 agreement, are political decisions. Political decisions have real consequences. One of the consequences of that national security legislation is Hong Kong no longer has an independent justice system.

This notice mainly reverts Hong Kong to the same trade status as the rest of China. It was given special status, decades ago, because it was special. It's clearly no longer special in those ways.

In the wake of Beijing's violence in 2018, the consequences of a loss of autonomy were strengthened to include sanctions. That component of America's reaction pertains, in part, to human rights concerns. But the trade component does not.
This thread reminds me of one I saw on here this morning re: the netflix quikster debacle.

I would imagine that it is easy to push a narrative that execs are greedy, short sighted and barely competent. I would imagine this can be true, but more than likely its a bunch of factors that aren't public that led to less than optimal decision making.
This concern, Google controlled/hosted JS, is independent from Signed Exchanges and specific to AMP.

At the same time, the AMP project is actively working to move the origin (control/host) of the AMP Javascript to the publisher's own domain, as well as allow a version served on an origin owned by the OpenJS Foundation, rather than Google.
America's leadership isn't currently strong enough to project that much soft power, particularly as the current admin has been wantonly destroying any relationship we had with countries in the region opposed to China. (Japan is perhaps an exception, but they seem apathetic to HK in general.)
Perhaps this was the “actual price” of the produce anyway, including the wasted and donated food. Delivery means there’s more reliable metrics about the average quality of food stocked and expected by shoppers (in a given area). This is a good thing if they make it so customers can easily post reviews and request refunds.
Federal defense spending is a bit over 25% of the federal budget. Adding all US government spending together to make the point you're trying to make is highly misleading; any given tax payer likely only pays into one, maybe two state governments in any given year; cuts or spending in other state governments don't effect them. (I would entertain summing an average of local, state, and federal, to compare to, but not all.)

There are other platforms. The issue isn't the platforms, they want the audience from one platform on other platforms as well. Consumers have the choice to use those other platforms, and people do actively use those other platforms. They just don't necessarily bring the same audience.

What's he covering up? Twitter has provided sources for their fact-check. The President is more than welcome to provide sources for his fraud claims any time he chooses. Via Twitter. Same medium that is fact-checking him.

The fact he says what he does un-sourced, and people believe him because he speaks from the authority of his office, is the troubling thing.
The U.S. Interstate system was designed for 70mph. California's freeway system is older. IIRC, California built the first "freeway" in the U.S.[1] It wasn't until I moved to California that I ever even heard the term, freeway, used regularly; elsewhere in the U.S. most people use the term, highway, as a general word for a fast artery. Some east coast locales often have their own terminology (e.g. turnpike) for the same reason California does--they were the first to build such infrastructure, and to do so long before the interstate system.

FWIW, the U.S. Highway system predates the U.S. Interstate system, and is still primarily composed of a patchwork of pre-existing state roads, "freeways", etc. At the time the interstate system was created highways weren't limited access--and still aren't necessarily, though most people don't understand or obey the technical distinctions in the terminology, or what type of road they're driving on.

[1] See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arroyo_Seco_Parkway. It was designed for 45mph.
Yes, but you wouldn't take the job for that wage (all else being equal) as wfh, because you need to fund an office space. Meanwhile the employer not funding accommodation (with all its concomitant costs: parking, cleaning, services, etc.) would have enough to pay you to have a home-office and still - by my estimations - save money.

I'm working from my bedroom, we're already short on bedroom space; I'll gladly work from home for a fraction of what my employer pays to accommodate me in an office. But I probably wouldn't have taken this job knowing I'd be stuck in my bedroom 18 hours a day.

Okay, I’ve now read the full code of section 230. It doesn’t seem to be impeding free speech. It specifically lists more or less the set of things that are currently not protected by US freedom of speech law, and makes ISPs not liable for attempting to automate moderation of those things. What - exactly - is the problem with section 230? What do you think it’s doing wrong, and which subsection is problematic? The title of the section says it relates only to “offensive material”, which is already not protected speech. You might, in turn, want to read up on what speech is actually protected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech#Limitations

> I’m not at all suggesting that online moderation should be made illegal.

Maybe I misunderstood. What are you suggesting then? What is the problem, and how is tearing down section 230 going to solve that problem? You said you wanted porn and beheadings to be allowed, and made a claim above that moderation is censorship. That did sound to me like you’re against moderation, so help me understand what you meant.

BTW, what is making you think that section 230 has anything to do with YouTube's comment deletion here? It sounds like they claimed it was a mistake. Whether true or not, it doesn't sound like section 230 is being used as a defense. So is this discussion about section 230 a red herring?
Woah! I've been working on a multiplayer game and I stumbled upon an iteration of your source code for this sidescroller a few months back. I was looking to solve some problems in my Matter.js collision code, and found a solution from your repo. Thanks!

The inflation boogeyman is a bit rotten.

There has been hardly any inflation in developed economies for the last thirty years. Japan and Germany have negative interest rates.

Yet the political wisdom of the day says that you can print money to bail out the banks, you can print money to inflate the stock market and yhats fine, but as soon as you try any kind of UBI\ help the poor, inflation will come for us all.

> I don't know. ...it's a bit sci-fi to add ethical instruction to AI dev. We are still way way distant from that.

I don't know what you mean. Can you elaborate?

> Are there ethical classes for Organic Chemistry majors? Industrial engineers? Physics?

Good question. We do have these, although the application varies. Engineering disciplines probably have this more explicitly embedded from direct ethics-type classes through to insertion of failure case studies and the like. These degrees tend to align with specific professional organisations for mechanical engineering, construction, etc. Membership of these organisations may require specific courses, but most often this is pushed down to the educational institutes. Computer Science and related areas have tended to follow this direction.

For someone studying chemistry or physics, there is less of a direct link, but it's somewhat unusual for an ethics requirement to be missing from a syllabus. Someone studying these might move into medicine, finance, or go to a startup. There is quite a spread of requirements there, and the destination generally governs the these in a more organic way. If you took this at the purest level and the chemist moved into a chemistry job at a pharma company, then membership of something like the American Chemistry Society might be expected. This bring a specific set of requirements.

In any case, it is only a certain segment of the computing world which eschews ethics and professionalism. A large segment interacts with all of these other professions which do place higher value ethics and enforce to a higher degree. Even working internationally, you'll find that yourself bound by a code of ethics in your country, but limited by law in others.

Chiming in on anecdotal evidence, I personally experienced a 15% reduction as well. I'm in a smaller startup working on robotics/autonomy. The outlook for VC funding is uncertain so the decision was to reduce salary for extended company runway. The 15% was across the entire company.

IANAL but common carrier laws are there to protect the carrier. e.g., people can use a telephone to plan a crime, but you cannot hold the phone company responsible for that crime. So the phone company does not discriminate otherwise they lose common carrier protections.

>Overall the free market/public corporation system is a resounding success.

We don't have a free market. The market is not allowed to implode. Mega corporations and banks are not allowed to fail. Boeing is not allowed to fail, and that fact, more than anything else, explains why they are such a poorly run company. Where you see a "resounding success" I see an absolute failure that is closer to a scam or a ponzi scheme than a legitimate system.
This sounds like a reasonable conclusion to me. Anyone here work for YouTube that can confirm/deny this?
My electricity costs have increased significantly ($100+ per month) because I'm powering all of my work equipment and running the AC more as the weather hits triple digits. It's not much on a bay area salary, but that might be a 10-20% increase in expenses for someone in AZ.
I wonder if they would dare do this in a face to face context, or does the videoconference medium enable this extreme antisocial behavior?

What i meant was it was under British rule prior to China. The British ruler was literally appointed by outsiders.

From an American perspective it’s more about losing a territory under Allied jurisdiction. From the local perspective it’s about losing independence rights—though they didn’t really have that right under British rule either.

That's based off a swiss law that requires employers to reimburse required work related expenses. The us doesn't have that requirement, other than paying at least minimum wage after expenses. It looks like California does require reimbursement though, so you might have a case if you work there.

HN Users be like, "We need to wake people up to Google's tyranny! If we act as one, we can overcome Google's bad faith practices!" No, dummy, everyone is going to keep using Chrome, Google will become more evil by the day and there is nothing you and your anti-Google larping can do about it. And they know this.

The best thing you can do is vote for Trump in 2020, vote Republican for the rest of your life, go and adamantly tell them that you want anti-trust suits opened against every single Tech co. over 1B. This seems like a partisan post, but you need the state to solve these problems, and Google and the DNC are clearly in bed together, and also Google and the GOP are also somewhat in bed (Google sponsors CPAC), so you need 20 years of Trump-like figures - outsiders - to solve these problems.

Of course you have to make some ideological concessions to start supporting people like Trump and to thus start the process of breaking up Google, but I think that ideological concessions and real progress win out over cringe larping about "quitting Google Chrome." Google is laughing at these types of blog posts while they roll around in their 750 billion dollar mountain of cash.
That's exactly what my experience was as well. Costco via Instacart was unreasonably expensive (30%+). We rarely use Instacart now. Most often, it's Amazon Fresh and we plan to go to Costco in person.
Most of the side-effects aren't severe. The worst cited are usually blindness and deadly heart arrhythmia. The problem is when you start giving it out to a lot of people, you start to see those low-incidence side-effects increasingly often.

It is a basic and important medicine. It's not that there are no concerns about its safety; it's that the safety concerns are well-known. Those are distinctly different statements.

(As an aside, for example, Tylenol and aspirin can both be quite harmful, but under what conditions they're dangerous is well-known so they are widely used pretty safely. Even so, you still find people inadvertently destroying their livers with Tylenol/paracetemol when they don't realize two OTC medicines contain them and overdose).

So then the question is how much harm are you doing by giving people the drug (under some set of circumstances) vs how great a benefit might someone derive from it.

Clearly on one side, if you gave it to everyone as a prophylactic, that'd likely cause more harm than good. Perhaps, you give it to people who have tested positive but are not admitted to the hospital. Or you can give it to only those who are admitted. Or you can give it only to people who are doing poorly.

Presuming the harmfulness of the medicine is well known you can run some easy hypothetical numbers about how many people will have serious harm or death from receiving it on a wide scale. We have a rough idea of the range of people who will die or have serious cases of COVID. The only thing left is the possible benefit people may get from the medicine.

As of now there is no indication that the benefit is worth the harm to give it out to people in a wide-scale fashion. Additionally, the current studies don't even support giving it to people who are in-patients. In most studies, patients receiving it fare worse than those not.
That’s true, but it wasn’t when I posted my comment. It looks like comments just naturally get more reasonable over time... similarly, about half my comments get to negative score instantly, but most then slowly climb back up to positive over the next 24 hours.
You're aware it's a 1-party state, right? That's an awfully fine hair to split.

You know that the upper middle class is the one that loses the most in these recessions, their risks of slipping into poverty rise drastically.

Recessions cause the movement of money to slow down, that's why getting out of a recession is so hard. Nobody wants to spend money, especially those on the brink.

The entire thing is one big spiral, whether or not it's caused by an actual economic downturn or an external actor (in our case, this whole COVID-19 tragedy), the result is the same.
The reason they are doing that is because they are desperate to turn a profit or just stay in business and also because people tolerate it since they have no choice. They can get away with it more easily because everyone is aware of the pandemic. It also makes more sense because they can anticipate a significant increase in business once things start to normalize.

I fail to see how 8, 9 and 11 harass a particular person but 10 doesn't?

Woops. It was 9 that arguably wouldn't be harassing a particular person if the article they were commenting on was about how the person had been convicted in a court of law. My thinking is that signal boosting something bad someone has done is not harassment if they have actually been convicted of a felony.

Can 15 really sue the person for defamation? Regardless, IMO, the DNC is part of the government and therefore open to public criticism, especially anonymously.

The DNC could sue the person, but under current American libel laws, which are very strict, they would probably lose. Basically as long as the person can show some grounds for honestly believing the claim, however stretched or flimsy, the person is not liable. Libel laws in other countries are less strict.

But it leads me to wonder: Don't all descriptions of a certain group of people end up falling into that category? Where does the line stop? People will (and have, historically) just start using the non-derogatory descriptions as derogatory ones if you censor the ones they currently use.

I think the rule would be that if you are referring to a group that is a protected class (sex being a protected class) then you should use the word that that group uses to call itself. Or the very least, a neutral term, not a term invented by critics. So with "tech bro", it was not a term coined by men in tech themselves, it was coined by people who were criticizing male tech culture, and so should not be allowed.

It's always going to be a bit subjective, and there will be churn of epithets over time, but even reducing the number of derogatory epithets used by 95% is still better than nothing.
