This article makes it look like they are in support of the former (free speech) when in fact they are in support of their own butts.
It's because it's such a highly controversial subject. I completely agree there's good and bad on Facebook, but overall feel like it nets out positive.
Agreed! University enabled me to leave the trailer park in the Midwest that I grew up in and now have a comfortable life. It is possible that this could have happened without university, however learning how to think/work through hard problems and the friends/networks I made have paid large dividends.

During undergrad, I was worried about the ~40k in loans I took out to pay for it. However, I was able to pay them off fairly soon after finishing up, and would never have been able to attend without the federal loans that did not require a co-signer.
Thanks for your thoughts on the matter. To be clear, on a good day I consider myself average with a wildly varied set of interests. Oddly, knowing elixir (as much hate as it gets here on HN) has landed me one or two positions alone.

I've read the same comments made from doctors in another country. The are MDs but absolutely not scientists, as they have no resources or desire to do any research. Maybe they're seeing less severely sick people but unless the virus changed (and we would have heard) I don't see how...

When there is a clear case of use like this, the usual procedure is to create and publicize your fork.

If enough people start using it, the original maintainers will see the need it covers, and hopefully will get rid of their dogmatic attitude, seeing how real people are adopting the approach they found no value in.

Basically this. I run a small moderated community and the repealing of Section 230 would mean I would become responsible for everything my site's users say if I dare to moderate anything beyond illegal content.

Rights of resale do not agree with your view.
Yes and it is working badly. Ecosystem is fragmented. Phone manufacturers are struggling to keep up. Phone support gets dropped quickly, code written by manufacturers for specific phones gets thrown out. Open source fork maintainers need to gather code not only from Google but also each phone manufacturer. Open source forks die. Open source fork support for running newer Android version than one provided by manufacturer is limited, only a few versions at best and only for most popular phones (because solving 12month merge conflicts is hard).

That's with Android which is somewhat self-contained system and changes in external interfaces wifi protocols, mobile networks take long time and are incremental. Once a new version of windows or macOS comes out waiting 12 months is a big deal.
Surely if someone is interested in the topic of "how to become a hacker", it shows the kind of curiosity that you are talking about.

Y Combinator might not be around in five years but the professional network that comes of participating in it will remain. If you aren’t sure what you want to do and want to keep as many options as possible open get a degree, but for most purposes any degree will do.

If you still want a degree it’s entirely possible to get a regionally accredited degree in a year from Western Governor’s University or a number of others if you’re willing to work hard at it and are exceptionally organized. If you want to know more you can go to degreeforum.net Or if you want to get a Master’s Oxford has one in Software Engineering that will accept work experience in lieu of a degree though each module requires a week’s residency.
One of the key ones in that list is advertising supported software, which is in my opinion less moral than proprietary software. Android and Chrome fit squarely into that bucket.

How can college be necessary for 95% of the population when somewhere south of 50% attend now?

I’m a significant proponent of college attendance for social and educational reasons, but even with that bias, I don’t agree with “necessary for 95%”.
Taking ethics out of context, squashes the very life out of it. The related context is the whole ball game. Further, pretending one thing is like another (adult violinist dependent on your kidney; foetus dependent upon mother) erases several critical ethical points in an obvious attempt to argue toward a conclusion. Its disingenuous.

A simpler example:
Killing a convicted murderer, is murder again! Oh, except the murderer has a whole different ethical context than say a child: the murderer is again a threat to more people; the murderer had agency and could have decided not to murder; the act has societal benefit instead of harm; and on and on.

And if you don't like my argument, then voila! Taking your ethical dilemma and recasting it as mine seems "not fair!" to you. Which ironically is my point and QED.

It's nice to see this progress - it's definitely been a focus for people for a long time.

Isn't the whole point of the Thiel Fellowship to pay kids to drop out? Thiel is trying to prove some point about academia, but, as you say, it stacks the deck because the fellowship includes a lot of the connections and foot-in-the-door help that its recipients would otherwise get in university.
Then he is investigated and the court decides if he is liable for manslaughter, murder or nothing. Similar to a soldier who killed people from their country, nuclear engineers who caused a meltdown, or bus drivers who got into a deadly accident.
Performing on par with the "worst" lithium-ion batteries would still be a great success if sodium-ion is cheaper to manufacture. They would still perform much better than lead-acid, Ni-MH, etc. There's a huge demand for cheaper batteries.
For sure. If one (and myself included) use the to nicety of Photoshop Illustrator GIMP's user interface is left much to be desired. However, from a open platform perspective, do I really want many hours of editing work to be tight to a cloud platform to a proprietary format?

Think not just about now or one year from now, but 10 years, 20, 50 years from now, 100 years? Open format and open source software is much desired for creation based software. There is the paradox of the making money for the open source software, and I don't have an answer for that. Seems like some kind of sliding scale payment will be needed for these software. May be also some kind of sliding scale payment for eventual money earned form the software up to a limit.
Ok I won't use the word around you, since it distresses you and because I respect your boundaries.

That's where I draw the line. Enough people are uncomfortable with the word "guys" that it makes sense to not to use it unless you know that everyone you're addressing is okay with it.

I know for a fact that you don't like "veggies" since you told me, so I won't use it with you.

Easy, right?
I doubt that this ruling is going to kill small internet communities. They generally have people of similar interests are more closely knit, so there is less spam or mindless conflicts.

The big ones like Reddit, Facebook and Twitter, might be killed or at lease heavily impacted should this ruling go against them.

It should have been done long before.
This (and similar libraries) is the way forward.

I joined the Svelte camp a while ago so I'm unlikely to try Solid anytime soon, but had I started with it I wouldn't complain, because the value proposition is the same: an abstraction which is runtime-inexpensive both in terms of CPU usage and bundle size.
Released Today – New NLP Model Called Haimke
Hey HN,

I'm Karin from AI21 Labs. We released a cool new language model today called HAIMKE that can fill in synthetic text based on human-written bullet points.

NLG models such as GPT-2 (and 3), Grover, CTRL and others have pushed the envelope in terms of generating synthetic text with excellent fluency.
What’s unique with HAIMKE is that it goes beyond improved fluency: it gives you direct control over the content of the generated text.

HAIMKE is derived from our previous work on models such as HAIM and HAIM-1.5 and uses the same Transformer architecture. It was trained to reconstruct whole documents from a few representative sentences, one for each paragraph, sampled from a large corpus of online text. To give users control over the amount of text generated, the model was trained with conditioning on the length of each sample. HAIMKE supports documents made up of 2-9 paragraphs with up to ~700 words in total.

Give it a try and we'd love to hear what you think. We released it today on Product Hunt and value any feedback. www.ai21.com/haimke
Thanks!
Because their lives suck now, and college would have alleviated that. That they didn't (have the chance to ) go is part of the point I believe.

But yeah it was worded strangely.
> I also tend to forget letters

So then you don't actually know the alphabet. Knowing implies you know all the letters and can recall them at will at any point in time, - that's what makes it useful. Of course if your forget some letters, that will just make the whole thing more cumbersome than just using letters.
Sadly stop and frisk is something that cannot be done un-subjectively. Again like with most debates there are good arguments on both sides. It however comes down to where you draw your conclusion. It's a thin line that has to be carefully toed and when everybody has different ideas on what powers others should or should not have against them it is usually hard for all sides to agree
HN is public by design so it is assumed that you only post things that you are comfortable with sharing. Even then, I heard that the moderation team is happy to help out if there are a few particular posts you'd like to delete/amend.

My six siblings and I had farmer parents with a high school education. We all went to (and finished) college. Now we have 2 fortune-500 VPs, a research nursing administrator, an IT professional, and 2 self-employed business owners doing very well.

So it can help to go to college. Just saying.

Oh. And the next generation - 100% college educated. Several PhD's. All well employed. None working on the farm. So for some segment of America at some time, college was/is a huge factor in their social mobility.
> In the US, this man would be dead. Here, he survived.

Well alright, that's one machete-wielding life that was saved. How many non-machete-wielding lives are lost by having an underpowered police force?

I guess we'll never know.

> That's not ridiculous.

It's ridiculous that it takes six or seven officers so long to neutralize the threat, which may not even have been a real threat.

> Yes - that's how it should be. Leave an actual firefight to specially appointed marksman with specialist weapons, not day-to-day officers waving pistols around. And they don't need those weapons when attending other incidents.

So, you get called to a minor domestic disturbance, the unarmed cops show up and it turns out that the guy in question "upgraded" to a kitchen knife. They'll better be good at keeping him occupied with trivia questions until the properly equipped force shows up.

I'm sure there's a trade-off between having police officers armed and dangerous versus having them be harmless. However, most countries in Europe - even those with low crime rates - choose to arm their officers. Deadly incidents remain rare:

> doing so makes it seem reddit cares first and foremost about its own freedom, and less about freedom of speech in general

It’s a company. Of course that’s its motive. I’d argue this is true for most people, too.

Which is fine. It is incumbent upon those users whose free speech Reddit impinges upon to rectify the situation, but bringing other users to support their cause or setting up a competitor.

Either way, this is all orthogonal to the First Amendment concern of this case.

You might get some answers here, from an SO comment written by virtual-dom’s author: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21109361/why-is-reacts-c...

The link has been posted in another comment too, here are some chunks that may be relevant to you:

> A virtual DOM is nice because it lets us write our code as if we were re-rendering the entire scene. Behind the scenes we want to compute a patch operation that updates the DOM to look how we expect. So while the virtual DOM diff/patch algorithm is probably not the optimal solution, it gives us a very nice way to express our applications. We just declare exactly what we want and React/virtual-dom will work out how to make your scene look like this. We don't have to do manual DOM manipulation or get confused about previous DOM state. We don't have to re-render the entire scene either, which could be much less efficient than patching it.

The newspaper and news channel can be held liable for what they publish. If social media companies want to editorialize the content that users are seeing then they are no longer a platform, and they should play by the same rules as the newspapers and news channels.

They could always choose not to do that and allow users to post whatever they like, within the bounds of the law.

Again, this only came up because Twitter is taking an active role in the election process. The election process is adversarial. There is already someone on Twitter who can hold a candidate accountable - their opponent. Twitter can just pin Joe Biden's reply and fact check below any Trump tweet and vice versa. Instead they have chosen to insert a platform specific feature to qualify what someone else is publishing. Their insertion is not accountable to anyone, and as such can be constituted as a canonical truth. If they apply their insertions selectively, then they are basically manipulating the audience. If this is allowed then you no longer have a democracy. The social media platform will just pick your winner.
Yeah, people forget that not literally every website needs to be an activist forum.
> article makes it look like they are in support of the former (free speech)

Fighting for the First Amendment does promote feee speech. Without the First Amendment, free speech is dead. With it, it has a chance (but is not guaranteed).
This might be a little hyperbolic.

I believe that's why you don't use the most extreme thought experiment and then go "okay, thanks, we're done here". You want to be able to zero in on different factors. E.g. save the musician by giving five minutes instead of nine months? Lower the risk of death of a part of society by accepting some restrictions on your freedoms?

I view it like a black box where you can define inputs and observe the output and your goal is to understand what calculations are made inside. Thought experiments are essentially fuzzing it to understand what's happening. "What if it's a fat guy? What if it's a smoker? What if it's a politician? What if it's a homeless person? What if there are 10 people, what if there are a million?" and you're iterating over lots of options to get closer to understanding the formula.
If an additional 45% of the population go to college, will society create hundreds of millions of high-paying jobs for them?
Does every website need to be an activist website? Seems redundant.

This is issue discussed in unprincipled way in the news.

On the other hand FB don't want to have publisher responsibility, on the other hand they want to moderate and direct discussion as they please. On the other hand people want FB to moderate, on the other hand they don't want big corporations to sensor public discussion.

The end result is that FB can control and direct media as long as it stays outside the radar. They face pressure only when there is moral panic.
Just out of curiosity, (assuming you live in Europe) are you looking in Europe as well? If you're not getting responses from European companies then there's something else that's going on.
I agree that's a more defensible position. Of course, there are lots of situations--you have a bylined article "printed" in a newspaper/magazine, you write a book, you appear speaking in someone else's YouTube video--where it's not really reasonable to expect to be able to expunge what you've written from the public record.

This isn't a new thing. You couldn't typically delete a Usenet post either.

What has changed is how easily and casually people can put things out in public without editorial oversight that they may regret.
