all of the 'free speech' stories I see always pertain to the far-right and/or incredibly vitriolic individuals getting removed from platforms

That's because getting people shut down, cancelled, censored, is a left wing tactic, so of course it always seems to be the right getting censored. Free speech is a value the right hold and the left do not, systematically so throughout history.

I don't believe a signal thing about this.

Depression detected through brainwaves - out of this world amazing, cutting edge breakthrough.

Knowing how to treat it - out of this world amazing, cutting edge breakthrough.

Using "AI" - out of this world amazing, cutting edge breakthrough.

Each of these are billion $ breakthroughs.

I don't know enough about Russia to speak about it, but China's goals are pretty clear. They're aiming to raise the standard of living in China massively, working towards one united and uniform Chinese cultural identity, and spreading Chinese culture around the world through economic and social means. Another big one is trying to earn China respect as a nation and undoing the reputation of being poor, dirty, and being an exporter of junk, and one big way they're aiming for that is through tech exports and scientific research.

The government has clear ideals. The problem is the ways they're going about achieving them and whether some of them (like erasing the separate cultures within their borders) is justifiable.

>Isn’t /r/politics completely one sided fake news to prop up the democrats???

/r/politics is how I imagine the "Two Minutes Hate" from 1984. A complete circle-jerk that has infested many of the main subreddits. /r/pics, /r/nextfuckinglevel, /r/publicfreakout are rather outposts of /r/politics these days. No wonder, when a small clique of politically aligned mods controls the major subreddits.

Even /r/askhistorians joined the blackout in support of 'Black Lives Matter'. What's neutral about that?
Surely it’s not controversial to post a scientific publication supporting your claims.

I suggest you Google-fu yourself.
There is indeed a significant disparity according to https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6319a2.htm although that study doesn't analyze what may cause it (other than differences in the prevalence of swimming training).
I'm sorry but I find this kind of nitpicking in bad form. People are going out and taking action to bring attention to a problem in what is obviously the best way they can do so. If you have an idea about improving marketing, why not spend that energy helping/proposing something and volunteering?

Aside from that, I think there is more to consider than just what will appeal to public opinion; dry attempts to shift one’s words to match opinion polls is how many politicians lose elections by coming off as pandering. There is a sense of urgency and emotion in the original phrase that might be important in the broader picture and in the long term.
> For example, many groups that advocate the dissolution of the nuclear family or sexual revolution have a communist origin

There is some history to that and I think this criticism was directed at family structures in Germany and other countries around the start of the last century. People today probably could not imagine anymore, but children at the time would have never even thought about disagreeing with their parents. They had complete authority. My grandmother didn't talk much about the time, but as she grow older, she often described the situation of her growing up.

So the critique was very warranted at the time and certainly for quite a while after the war until the sexual revolution. These structures don't exist anymore today aside from a irrelevant periphery, but the talking points remained the same. A revolution won't come anymore since the goals were already reached.

Doesn't mean there cannot be additional empty promises.
I am fine with the small improvements to code part, but I at least want an idea of where I am going. Small improvements to solve the problem? Sure. But I at least want an idea of what the entire problem is, not just the two weeks of problem shards I am given.

>where millions of people from different backgrounds, religions, and races will unite and march for the justice of minorities

but mostly to act it out as performance art because people have been marching for decades now and yet here we are. The US is the only country that kind of lives in a permanent television version of itself, with people setting trashcans on fire for justice or throwing a window in, while a few dozen journalists capture some very authentic images[1]

People in Russia or China are realistic enough to know that this is in itself nothing but entertainment. The US is in a sense the most advanced security state on the planet, because pretty much nobody else has manged to internalize its own opposition to that degree.

> (or, more accurately, take advantage of) consumers that your product is not actually worth $2.

Do you actually earnestly believe that most consumers think it costs a significant fraction of $100 to make a pair (any pair) of non-prescription sunglasses (manufactured anywhere in the world)? If so, that strikes me as incredibly naive.

What differentiates a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers (which I happen to like) from the $3 white label imports on AliExpress? Almost nothing, so far as I can tell, aside from branding and the design of the sunglasses.

And the design is entirely subjective--who are you to tell me that a pair of Wayfarers is not worth $150? For that matter, who are you to say that $100 is too much for a pair of re-branded white label sunglasses from AliExpress. And that's a two-way street: Who am I to tell you that $0 is too much for a pair of aviators?

> you imply that your contribution as a middle-man is worth $98.

Supposing I can connect a consumer with a product he likes and wants, why should it be impossible (or even improbable) for my contribution to be $98? Nothing is stopping him from shopping on Ali directly. Nothing is stopping Ali vendors from setting up a branded website in English. And, yet, there is the unmet desire that I would be fulfilling.

> Here's a great way to reformulate the morality of the matter in your mind: if you knew that all you were buying were $2 plastic sunglasses from China trussed up with European brand name to look high-end and high-quality, would you still be happy spending $100?

Let me answer your hypothetical with a real example: Generic prescription eyeglasses cost $15 on Zenni. I saw someone wearing a particular design I really like (different company, and the design probably costs 2x to make, but they are no longer available). I know they cost less than $30 to make, but I would be delighted to pay $300 for a pair of those glasses, even a pair of look-alikes.

Yes, as I myself pointed out, the US has a lot of big problems which are not improving. But people have high expectations of the US, which they do not have of any other country. Nobody expects China or Russia to be anything but self serving. Why? Because that’s all they aim to be. Rather than trash the US’s ideals, how about we do better in living up to them?

There's a nice fantasy about these parts that the deplatforming left somehow created all these platforms and will stop when people they disagree with go away. No. These platforms were mostly created by people committed to free speech, who came under relentless external and internal attacks for years until they bent the knee, and people who try to create alternative platforms are frequently erased from the internet via whatever levers of power those activists can get their hands on. They definitely don't stop and say, well, you created your own website, good for you and best of luck.
> Sometimes I honestly wish hackernews was run more like r/askhistorians.

I don't. The moderation and voting/karma system on HN is much better than anything seen on Reddit. People have stupid opinions everywhere in life, but this is one of a few rare havens where it's incredibly easy to find deep and interesting conversation. Reddit ain't it.

>Is it right to say that developing a video game is "leisurely"? Isn't the game development industry notorius for long hours, stress and endless crunch time?

Game development as an industry job isn't leisurely. But indie game development that you're essentially only doing for yourself? It's like woodworking. Professional carpentering isn't leisurely, creating private pieces that you don't intend to make money with is.

>Is it righteous for those in well paying and value generating jobs to avoid going for even more well paying jobs?

Yes? It's about taking support (thus depleting resources that could be used to e.g. help the needy) when you don't need to.

>You take the same view with all FOSS software volunteer work, and all non-profit/volunteer/charity work generally?

Volunteer work is different insofar as that it absolutely has economic value (people would pay you for it if you weren't doing it for free out of your own volition), you just choose to give it away freely. An indie developer who could make money to sustain themselves but chooses not to would fall under the same category. Someone who wants to be an indie developer but doesn't because they know that they wouldn't make enough money is not in this category.

>What about a subsistence farmer who lives to grow food and eat it, are they "simply producing nothing of value to anyone but themselves"? Yes. Is that necessarily a problem?

Again, the issue is them wanting to be supported by others. Taking, but not providing when you can. If they can completely sustain themselves, that's great.
Every single app could be doing the same thing. They ask for pretty broad permissions for purportedly innocent reasons but once given that access they can use it for anything they choose. This happens because even tech educated people (as you'd expect on HN) insist that they want to sacrifice privacy if it brings functionality [0]. A regular user is probably completely unaware that this could even be a problem. From their perspective they're just getting cool features for free.

> While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate.

I have one too (which I've since swapped for an email I actually use). I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think it was the only option for a while (inherited from MobileMe, perhaps), or at least it wasn't clear that you could/should add another email.

Either way, Apple could definitely do something with regards to make it easier/more obvious to replace it with a useful email address, especially now as it becomes a federated identity provider.
It could well be the other way around. Progressive activists hate the hard-hitting 'dirtbag' left, they see it as a dangerous threat to their own worldview.

No, basically the group managers assigned the “architecture astronaut” tasks to these brilliant loners. They would figure out the answer and then be assigned to a team to onboard them basically, they’d come into the office for a week or two to do design reviews, go back to being remote to get the stuff into production, and then the full crew would own the service and the loner would go to the next thing.

What i don’t like most about scrum is the sprints. Doesn’t matter if it’s one or two weeks long, we never have a successful sprint, the velocity chart looks like random numbers, and we spend hours on debating what the story points really mean. Sprints are artificial deadlines that don’t really make any sense, developers don’t care, business people don’t care. A project i could complete in a month will take at least three months, because of the processes we have to follow. Instead of refactoring and thinking about overall design i have to worry about getting the task done by the end of the sprint.

The air traffic control sector is very dubious about AI in general because they need situation awareness at any time, and they don't want to rely on a system that will eventually fail.

Did sighbit measure the situation awareness of lifeguards with and without their solution? Are they sure lifeguards will not rely on the AI, potentially miss obvious distressed swimmers, and be useless when the system completely fail?

Will the lifeguards who always used this system will be trained and not panic when the system will fail, for example because of a power outage?
Identifying users by email is a bad practice anyway. Such systems usually don't provide a way to change the email address, because it's literally your id. This makes it unnecessarily difficult to migrate between email addresses.

>>"We know that depression is very heterogenous, and that there are at least 1,000 unique combinations of symptoms that can be diagnosed as depression," said Williams, who is the director of Stanford's Center for Precision Mental Health and Wellness. "We've found that brainwave measurements can be used to help identify which particular symptoms change with antidepressant treatment and which do not."

They're not claiming to detect depression, I don't think there is "sorts" of depression. They're measuring a change in symptoms to evaluate a medicines usefulness.

The headline is misleading but I do feel their work has merit. Years ago I had an isolated Major Depressive Episode. It's clear to me that during that period of time there was something different about my brain.
