Strange not to use this example that was discussed quite a bit recently:

Also, seems like a misuse of the phrase "emotional intelligence". I mean, this article is talking precisely about suppressing an emotional response and using your intellect instead and how important it is.

Or maybe emotional intelligence is just a misnomer in general and this is what it always means, not being emotional in order to gain an advantage through intelligence?

I don't know, but there's cognitive dissonance for me in that "emotional intelligence" always vaguely implied to me a different, privileged type of "intelligence" that's better that regular "intelligence" and this article is implying that emotions just make intelligence worse.

If I think about what I really believe, I think when people in other contexts talk about lack of emotional intelligence, I guess that how I might rephrase the problem is that people who are identifying as unemotional are frequently really not; they are motivated by their own emotions to the point where they confuse them for objectivity. Which leads back to the idea that pausing could help you detach from that.
> If I'm being fair, it seems like institutional rot goes much deeper than any political ideology.

I've taken to voting the past few election cycles, starting in 2016.

The fact that nothing ever changes and the media just screams louder and louder about their narrative of the week has right about put me off of caring about politics again.
I am tempted to experiment a bit with web programming - perhaps I'll create a simple game or something, just for fun.

I haven't developed for the web in a long time. What would you suggest as the best language and platform to do that?
Ya it's an odd phrase. It's obviously just indicating the location of the find, but why does that need to be in the title?

That interpretation doesn't follow from GP's position of "if you are deciding what is acceptable speech, you're now responsible for it."

Removing off-topic posts is just as much "deciding what is acceptable speech" as is removing on-topic posts that happen to be posts I don't like. That is to say, the consideration of what is on-topic vs. off-topic is at its core a decision of what is acceptable.
That's unfortunately not even remotely feasible for a number of reasons. There's no effective delivery mechanism for large-scale changes, efficacy is low even when a CRISPR system does get delivered to a cell, and there can be serious issues from both on- and off-target activity. These limitations will certainly improve as the technology advances but I can't imagine that there will never be a tradeoff. I would argue that the solution to this problem is regrettably not technical.

Public cloud providers are very much in the customer acquisition phase. There are still a lot of on-prem datacenters out here that they are trying to compete over for business.

Once the entire customer base is locked in more or less, the cartel effect will kick in.
It wasn't just short sellers. Journalists at the Financial Times were also harassed and threatened, including by the German authorities, for their skeptical reporting on Wirecard. There were absolutely abysmal performances by German regulators, Ernst & Young auditors, and the vast majority of the financial media, who ran cover for the fraud long past the point where it became pretty obvious.
CSA == Canadian Soccer Association?
Ah, that turned on a light bulb for me. They're finding dog whistles by deconstructing the text. That makes perfect sense.

Since there are so many possible deconstructions (as many as there are readers), it also means that it's a game that the speaker cannot win. Someone will always be able to deconstruct what you say to be a dogwhistle, no matter what you say. So the only possible approach is to just ignore them, because if you try to play their game, you are going to lose, and to continue to lose.
>How many projects are there to automatically API-ify a database with auth boilerplate today?

That's a really vague statement but you described phpmyadmin, django, wordpress with a plugin, etc. Most successful CRM companies essentially have some framework doing this underneath as well.
Exactly. It would lead to a smaller Internet. Giant platforms built around scaling past what human moderators can handle would be unviable, but subject-focused communities and human-curated ones would thrive.

Bear in mind, the law is not going to actually or reasonably crucify you because someone left a nasty comment on your blog while you were asleep (nobody seriously believes this can happen). The law needs to be able to go after companies that built social platforms that create extremely bad social effects at scale, who are focused on creating as much engagement as possible to fuel ad revenue.

Honestly, the "largest" social platform that would likely benefit from Section 230's repeal is Reddit: They'd have to make some policy changes and probably discourage more cross-posting, and very large communities might need company-hired moderation. But the general design of it being built around small communities moderated individually is likely to allow it to adapt to the change pretty well. Maybe they'd shut down the really large general subs, but it'd be pushed more towards being a shared login way to be a part of a bunch of distinct communities.
It's also editorializing Twitter...ergo Twitter is no longer a neutral platform and should be subject to all the same liabilities that Fox, CNN, etc are including libel and defamation.
Yes. In fact, an even better solution would be using QR factorization...

> But BlueKai also uses more covert tactics like allowing websites to embed invisible pixel-sized images to collect information about you as soon as you open the page — hardware, operating system, browser and any information about the network connection.

This seems really odd to include, given Techcrunch's use of pixels, and whatever their own covert pixel tactics may be...invisible pixel images are part and parcel when you start talking about pixels in general. (Edit: The author seems to have addressed this)

Also, is that _Kai_ as in the Japanese word for ocean? Or is it _Kai_ as in meeting?

Perhaps the entire word is a Japanese derivative, with buruukai meant to connote a gathering of nervous, fearful Oracle executives? Not the most auspicious reading...
I like the mix of postings on HN.

There are enough personal projects out there to absolutely flood this site and it seems on weekends there are more of them (maybe my imagination). But still the site doesn't get flooded.
Is Microsoft doing that because their store never took off? Probably yes.

Should governments take a closer look into app stores? Absolutely yes, those games are rigged, monopolistic, and broken.
It would be my first instinct too, but I'm assuming miles of cable in frozen ice that probably move will not last for long.

"Single Issues are a huge facet of American politics and are used by both sides to divide people who have more in-common with each other than the groups in charge."

that's a very good point. Sometimes i fantasize about what changes could have been made if the Tea Party and the Occupy Wallstreet people realized they were two sides of the same coin back in 2009. Both groups were quickly divided and subverted, set against each other, and destroyed out of fear of them coming to that realization IMO.
Do they need money for groceries or they are already covering that? Unless you can help in private medical expenses or they need groceries/rent money, I'm not sure any help is possible, realistically speaking.

Also some government around the world took over private medical facilities especially in developing countries. So it can be a moment where both poor and wealthy have equal access unless they are politically connected. Add to that if India is experiencing a surge, maybe all medical facilities will be busy whether free or paid.

This is a matter of randomness (or fate if you believe in God) and unless you are there (in Mumbai) or can be there (which might not be feasible as flights are restricted world-wide) I don't think you can do much.

If money is what he needs and you suspect he's avoiding to ask, I'll just insist instead of buying him stuff online. I think he (and his family) will make better decisions with the money.
Walmart called on regulators to do the dirty work of controlling how Target negotiates the sale of shelf space within its walls.

“As one of the largest retailers in the world, making billions each year in profit, it’s unconscionable if we sat by not calling out others for doing the same.”

Walmart continued, “It’s imperative that we sully our competitions brand to make gains in the financial markets. Without state backed protectionism for large enterprises, us Barons are really just being hung out to dry.”

Walmart has continued to profit mightily, but it says the complaint is predicated on the fact they could be profiting MORE if someone forced Target to behave more like the rest of the majority.

When asked if Walmart had considered rebuilding its own image to gain business, there was a pause, before the conversation returned to targeting Target.

Walmart blew of criticism it’s used the market to wipe out competition in the past. When asked why they simply don’t do that to Target they replied, “Target is too big financially. So we need a bigger bully they can’t damage in return to stand up for us gritty, ruggedly individual elites. It’s the story of humanity to build government that’s coddles and pampers a privileged minority. It should be no different now.”

When it was suggested the public should advocate for dissolution of middlemen landlords in general, rather than drag the public courts through a pissing contest between blowhards, and stop wasting its precious time resource arbitrating the concerns of petty rich guys, the room laughed.

While you can discuss what is proper definition of "based" it is definitely incorrect to say that Android is not based on Linux for it uses Linux kernel which is the most important part of the Operating System.

If we were so nitpicky we would have to say there is in fact no Linux, as most "Linux" distributions are GNU OS.

As nobody will question that Debian or Red Hat are Linux distributions there is no grounds to proclaim that Android isn't one.

Won’t work, now there is one search engine and the first page is all ads and all pages are over optimized. No one will see any new sites or blogs generally.
What? Not only does the legal concept of a "neutral platform" not exist, the examples you cite (Fox, CNN) are certainly not "neutral platforms." They aren't responsible for what their commenters post on their sites either (and it is certainly... eye-opening to check out their comment sections sometimes).

Twitter already does have libel liabilities, just like Fox and CNN, if they were to themselves post something libelous - just like if Fox were to produce a segment themselves that is libelous.
No of course they're not a neutral platform - I assume they ban spam and they have a terms of service and require adult content to be marked and all sorts of things. Isn't the point of 230 that they're allowed to moderate without taking on those liabilities because otherwise they obviously wouldn't exist?
time will prove you very wrong
why should twitter be responsible for user content? Certainly libel and defamation already apply to any material that twitter themselves post.

Logical, and I host most of us are able to live a life of such privilege. In desperate times, however, there are those who are forced to stand up for what they believe is right, and not to simply roll over. The fight with my HOA on my right to put in a trampoline is not worth killing over, but people like President Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Alexander Litvinenko have faced problems that were.
Thanks, good points, I'll think about them.

Re exporting data: I'm working on that. There will be org-mode export first. Then json.
To some extent, yes. However, you will get the best performance (and improvement over WSL1) when working with files contained within the Linux file system.
I'm not saying 30% is justified, but there's a significant difference between the service provided by storefronts vs credit card companies. You're comparing Apple to oranges.

Having my app on a large store front such as Steam or Play Store can and often does bring a lot of organic views. I don't know any business getting organic views from credit companies, except the sponsored once, which I'm sure are probably paying a good chunk for that. App stores also handle feature development, hosting, and many other services. What do credit card companies give to business?

Now the question is, how much is the storefront traffic worth to you in terms of cut. If you get 30% or more sales being on Steam vs selling on your own website, then isn't it technically worth it being on that store front?
Judging by the variety of answers on this thread alone, I'm going to assume that if random internet commenters all know that a place is the most secure, secret place to do something illegal, it probably isn't really.
I think there will certainly be differences in their DNA or RNA equivalents, but water will still be a nice solvent at room temperature and carbon still likes to form complex bonds and complex molecules at those same temperatures.

Thus at those temperatures and pressures as are found on earth, we can most likely expect to find water and carbon based life.

Will they have a carbon cycle? Certainly. Will it be exactly the same Krebs cycle, down to the exact same molecules? Maybe not.
Checks all by default but you can set an env variable in the config to only check new code.
Meant to agree with your reply, the comment was for the post you were replying to. We have lots of data but that doesn’t mean we have widely distributed understanding. Data != understandable models of the world. We need much more of the later.

>The series of studies suggest that cognitive ability is related to support for freedom of speech for groups across the ideological spectrum.

It's an interesting result and I have a lot of questions that I think are mostly because I don't understand how studies like this work, but that's kinda a laundry list to throw at a short article like this ;)

I do wonder if put to the test if those conclusions hold up. Introduce fear, or just personal interests and does that support go out the window?

I suspect that there might be a difference from general support for freedom of speech... and a willingness to also support some contradictory policies / points of view at the same time when fear, or personal interest are at play.

History is full of ideology turned to something else entirely.

Granted I don't know how you'd test that reliably in any way.
WHAT EXACTLY IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH?

My view on freedom of speech is different from most I found, but I think it’s the one that is consistent and stays true to actual definitions of words.

Human freedoms are about what the human can do. Right to bear arms. Right to speak. Right to assemble. And so on. That is how the Bill of Rights seems to intend it.

Note that the freedom to physically say anything and not get carted away is different than that of an organization.

Corporations may be “persons” for the purpose of suing and being sued in court etc. But when it comes to freedom of speech, it is quite another level of indirection!

When Sinclair TV buys a bunch of local stations, and makes them say something, they are not really free. They are saying whatever they are being told to say:

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/02/598794433...

But here is the proper description: freedom of speech is different than access to a megaphone that an organization with a large audience gives you.

And I prefer that our news and announcements would be run more like Wikipedia than FOX, CNN or even Twitter. Because the latter tear apart our society. News outlets were disrutped by the Internet so they adjusted by locking in an audience by choosing a side and publishing clickbait. And social media in their race to the bottom for advertising dollars herded us into echo chanbers around this content. The current political fever pitch is NOT an accident or a plan by any one person. What can we do instead? Run it like Wikipedia.

Think of concentric circles. The smallest circle is what certain groups of mutually distrusting / disagreeing experts / pundits discussing things. They are the ones to go and publish dissenting opinions. This is analogous to the Talk page on Wikipedia.

This circle of people get a notification every time that one of them posts, so they can add their 2 cents.

Then once enough of them have weighed in, the next level is opened up — which is either the public or an intermediate circle of fact-checkers or news organizations.

I do not think the public should get stuff unfiltered from the megaphone of anyone with a Twitter audience of 50,000 or a podcas audience of 40,000. Sure, we are not used to this kind of society, but it is NOT a FREEDOM of speech issue. It is an issue of access to megaphones.

The current understanding of “freedom of speech” leads to contradictions and idiosynchrasies where one side claims that Facebook, Twitter are private platforms and aren’t covered under the Bill of Rights, while another side says that they are larger than many countries and are directly distributing speech on their platform. Whether these are “online countries” or not and whether they are subject to the US Bill of Rights because they are located here or operate here is up for debate. But under my definition the forced restructuring of how information is disseminated to wider and wider audiences wouldn’t be a Freedom of Speech issue.

PS: By the way, what I described is how news desks used to be run, with various editors being involved before things went to press.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_Hiptop#Software

What operating system and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) are you using?
Danger has written its own operating system and JVM for the hiptop. The Operating system has preemptive multitasking and a soft real-time scheduler, and it has been tuned specifically for running our JVM. All end-user applications are written in Java, as is the overwhelming majority of the high-level operating system. Arguably, Danger has the premiere "Java Operating System" on the market today.

Yeah, this is answer is kinda overly focused on semantics. Linux syscalls are _officially_ part of the Android API layer, so much that the Fuschia team has to add compatibility for them.
Stats are important, but aren't they somewhat excessive for explaining the "idea behind linear regression"? It's neat that this implementation is an unbiased estimator in the presence of gaussian noise, but statistical reasoning seems wholly unnecessary for getting _some_ line of best fit.

I bet somebody could write an article much like this and gloss over most (maybe all?) of the math:

1) Here's a 2D scatterplot, and we want a line that kind of follows the dots.

2) If the data were on a line, this function (sum of the y values subtracted from a linear prediction) would be 0.

2a) Maybe introduce squaring here, but it might seem a little magical and unnecessary, so perhaps wait to introduce pathologies or other reasons till after an implementation of some kind.

3) The scatterplot obviously doesn't fall on a line, but let's try to get as close to 0 as we can. Picking random parameters seems good enough for an introduction to linear regression -- certainly not as efficient in the limit as gradient descent, but it requires next to no code or math to explain what we're doing to a new student.

Future directions and blog posts) Other optimization algorithms, closed forms, why we care about squaring, other functions that work in addition to squaring, and now that we have a good idea of how linear regression might work let's add some statistical reasoning.
