Right now, patreon is well known, and I'd be concerned with an unknown site turning supporters off.
How much money does an anesthesiologist make these days?
Agreed. There is much to reasonably debate about where lines are drawn in regards to which private platforms are de facto public squares, if any, and which are not; and what speech is a reasonable cause for being banned from such a platform, and what speech is not. But the fact that there is such a significant amount of hateful, violence-loving speech, and that it is continuously growing, simply overshadows the topic. I'll happily debate those subtleties all day, once we're not driving cars into groups of each other over identity politics, accusing people who are trying to vote of fraud while intimidating them with guns in person, threatening each other with civil war, gleefully mocking victims of politically motivated violence, and, most of all, once we no longer have a US president who encourages all of that hatred.
Yes. The rule basically says that you can't be racist towards white people.
Usually things become complex once something isn't going as planned. Like if your database slows down because the pods get scheduled on a weird node with some noisy neighbour, your backups failed because the node went down or other more hidden issues that take a lot longer to debug compared to some Postgres running on a normal compute instance somewhere.

It's just additional layers to dig through if something goes wrong, if everything works even the most complex systems are nice to operate so I wouldn't call it less complex just because someone wrote a nice wrapper for the happy path.
I was referring to the language used in the press during the civil rights era, which referred to the protests led by MLK as “riots” as well.

I posted a link to a reputable news source. The right wing militias are well known, and the “boogaloo” has been well documented.

> Everyone questioning India, should first Question China

Or, you could question both. Whataboutism isn't a valid argument, so censorship of the Internet can still be wrong at the same time as China is a malevolent force both on the Internet in general terms and for specific pieces of software or services in more concrete terms.

Yes, on-board clock accuracy is the limiting factor here.
A very good comment. I would add that the parties used to be more moderate in part because the Democrats included both Northern liberals and Southern racists, and the Republicans included many Northern liberals. But when the civil rights laws were passed by the Democrats back in 1964 and 5, Southern white racists started a slow process of migrating to the Republicans and the Northern liberals to the Democrats.

Also, changes in the primary system lead to party leaders, who tended to nominate moderates who could win a broad range in the middle, losing power, and the nominating process being taking over by people on both extremes who tend to vote more in primaries than the general public does.
Hm... apparently so, though in the only example I have found so far, he offers that reason as a justification for declining to recommend masks for people not at special risk. IMHO, this is was a valid response at the time, and not a hidden agenda.
You could have just used one sentence to explain that regular expressions in (list of languages) have a feature called backtracking which can be exploited to slow down and DoS a site. I mean, even that sentence, right there. Instead, you boil it down so the reader knows Go and Rust are good and other languages are bad.
Oil is strongly correlated to growth, which means with volumes of oil going down, the only direction our economy is going to take is also down: we're in for a recession and it's not going to stop soon. Now we can survive in a recession, but we (as a species) have never done it before on long durations, so it's going to be quite a challenge.

Considering that commercial fusion is nowhere near us for the next ~100 years, we're in for a very bad time.
>Damn, I never actually heard this being spoken about on reddit.

That's pretty much the whole idea of censorship.
YT has a legal framework that gives it protection to an extent from government interference, especially where it touches upon freedom of speech. Whether they want to use it or not is another question.

But the Party can just put officials in the Douyin (TikTok) offices and ask for any encryption key without having to divulge anything and without the company having any recourse. This in complete legality.

Large corporations becoming the end point for debate is a real problem, but I don't think it really overlaps with public/private collusion (or the lack of true private in China's case).

According to the article, 30 percent of iPhone users have turned off IFDA tracking

> Notably, Facebook has declined to even show app install advertisements to the 30% of U.S. iPhone users that turned off their IDFA of their own accord — and now it is opt-in, instead of opt-out.

That is a massive proportion. Especially when you consider that the IFDA setting is buried three or four screens app in the settings app. 30 percent of users went way out of their way to turn tracking off. That tells me that a lot more users care about their privacy than we might assume
The thing is discussing it easily ruins the mood of feeling productive when opening HN.

Also the benefit of discussing the same mindless discussion over internet where you already know the points of both sides are minimal in my opinion. There are better ways to spend time to benefit the minorities/females than discussing it here.

I just can barely see how a 3% tax that companies find another way to evade can have anything to do with the loss of life and dignity that some of these issues bring up. How many tax dollars cover sexual assault? It just seems like a vapid halfway measure when the effects of these problems by most standards can barely be measured in dollars. If it's that serious, ban them, right? But the benefit is just too high, one would assume.
3 of some of the biggest right wing YouTube channels, Trump's Twitch account, and 2000 other subreddits including The_Donald all being banned in the span of less than an hour is just a coincidence. More of a criminal conspiracy.

I can form a trivial argument for why almost any hot-button political opinion is "hate speech", even through the most charitable definition of "advocating violence or diminishing essential human dignity".

- Pro-Life: You don't respect women's bodily autonomy, because you believe women are "less-than".

- Pro-Choice: You don't respect the fetus's right to life, because you believe pre-birth infants are "less-than".

- Pro-War: You don't respect the sacrifices of American troop or those who died on 9/11, because you believe privileged Westerners are "less-than".

- Anti-War: You don't respect the lives of civilians who die in drone strikes, because you believe Muslims are "less-than".

Lately, I've been cross-referencing the language of dehumanization with how uncontroversial it is to express an opinion that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were "necessary evils". And perhaps they were (I've heard the arguments and I'm aware of the historical complexity); yet most Americans suffer little consternation to disregard the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians, in a way that would be horrifying if it was (a) present day, and/or (b) the actions of some out-group rather than our own heroic Nazi-fighting forces.

All that said: I think it's also pretty naive to pretend that emotionally inflammatory rhetoric doesn't exist, or is inconsequential. Lately I've been thinking about a different category: while "hate speech" is shunned in most corners of polite society, our moral tribes largely tolerate (if not encourage) "fear speech": "[Trump / Antifa] is coming to get you". Each side's fear exacerbates the other in a positive feedback loop, akin to the Cycle of Violence.
Right, and the fact that actual economists (including obviously Laffer who has a Stanford PhD in economics) have tried to pretend the curve is relevant to real world tax policy ought to be cause for laughter. Instead of course American politicians took him seriously and it's cause for misery for many of its poorest citizens. "Brilliant".

It should be taken as seriously as if a physics PhD tried to persuade your state that it should use solar power to convert lead into gold.
Please do some research, Telegram has never worked in China for any extended period of time.

Ah, got it. Point taken. I believe what you say is true, but I think the aggression can often be so obscured as to not be visible. Systematically hiring 10% less people of of color, or passing over a resume with a funny sounding name isn't overtly aggressive, but over the course of centuries it becomes quite oppressive. Combine a nuanced action like that with a thousand other nuanced behaviors and you end up with a group of people who are disenfranchised, yet any specific claim they make sounds trite, any specific protest they makes seems out of line with an individual nuanced behavior.
If you have a chance I suggest reading Masters Of Doom. http://www.davidkushner.com/book/masters-of-doom/.

All the while they were gathering talent, ideas from all around the country while grinding away at code.

Companies are not people. We impose tons of restrictions on companies that would be unreasonable to impose on individuals. Besides they are legally platforms and thus they're not saying anything although their users might. If my friend said something it does not mean I said it or even agreed with it

> The hastert rule appears to be uniformly evil

Why?

> Because it makes it impossible to govern,

There are at least two approaches to govern while maintaining the rule. First, to bring different points of view closer, which may bring minority to a majority while keeping majority on the other side. It's not easy, of course; it encourages position reformulation, determining the crucial issues etc. - a work for negotiation. Second, one of the party may get majority on the next elections because of the opposition of another party. This approach takes more time, but in general encourages more awareness of positions in the electorate.

Hastert rule had reasons to appear; why it's worse than what it was before that?
Yep, that in specific made me hold off on deleting my Facebook for a couple of years. About 2 years ago I noticed you could just click ‘forgot password’ and unbind them.

I’ve gotten rid of Facebook, but now my account name is just a bunch of numbers.
In-Q-Tel is well known here. Do we know enough about Chinese investment? Are Huawei and ZTE private companies, private with state's investment, co-owned by the state, or owned by the states to further Chinese's causes with a private facade? There should be more discussion about them here.

On the surface, this seems like a silly example - it doesn't compare in practice. However, if you honestly, in good faith, think that it does, you absolutely should make an effort to form that argument.
A klan member, at their worst, want to establish an ethno-state and segregation. These are vile things and I am not trying to downplay them at all, but they are at worst locally increasing suffering.

A revolutionary Marxist wants a global revolution, and the abolishment of private property. The scale of suffering each group advocates for is not even on the same scale between the klan member and the above.

I would say that hosting on a centralised service like GitHub it Gitlab also reduces friction for contributors - bug reports, code, docs - as people will usually already have an account so they can make drive by contributions.

Having to find a bug tracker, create an account, log a bug is a lot of hassle for a random library or small project. I know I've given up raising bugs for some things as I couldn't be bothered with the rigmarole of sign-up, verification, etc... On Gitlab/GitHub there is much less friction because I use both regularly and and can use them for multiple projects, large and small.
I love Robert's Rules of Order! I'd love to see someone build video meeting software that implemented it somehow. Or does that exist? A brief search was fruitless.
The article is complaining that Patreon is not a full banking app.

Well, duh.

Patrons and small-time creators are very happy with what it does, and don't care about what it doesn't do - Patreon pays the monthly rent of a lot of artists who have no other short-term options until their career is in full-swing. By contrast, Youtube is notorious for being unreliable as a revenue source.

My only complaints about Patreon are:

- the app is one of the slowest web apps today. Actually, I lied - it's the slowest. Shame on the programming team behind this. Get your shit together.

- they just started charging sales tax on donations if the creator offers rewards content (almost all do so.) That doesn't make sense for posting a video link a day early, foreign artists, etc.

- I think a VC bought Patreon. We know how that always ends.

My suggestions are:

- profile the app performance and fix it.

- maybe ask the article author what he's expecting for discoverability on a payment app. Perhaps adding a couple pieces of metadata alone might help?

Yep, it doesn’t seem to be a common position, for sure.

I have heard of the American Solidarity Party and like some of their viewpoints, but I think that any consenting adults should be able to have a relationship (and the corresponding legal benefits). I also don’t like the religious motivations behind many of the arguments of the ASP; my views against abortion are secular in nature, and I think the religious arguments probably hurt the pro-life movement as a whole.

What I fear is whether this data could be incorporated into the state facial recognition systems already well deployed throughout China. You're potentially helping the CCP in training a tool to aid in the violent suppression of ethnic minorities.

It's bizarre to me that this is an opinion people have unironicaly. Conservatism is not equivalent to Nazism. For society to actually function there needs to be a healthy tension between the status quo and possible reform
The problem is that voters often disagree greatly, and the only positive way forward is a compromise, but strong partisan and ideological polarization makes that impossible.
Problem domains where you have tricky algorithms with weird edge cases, like complicated graph searches/traversals, computational geometry, linear algebra. You'll often compose your algorithms out of other algorithms, pulled in as dependencies. Then your algorithm can be used by an upstream dependency if it resolves some weird edge case.

Things like first class functions or programming with combinators naturally leads to those kinds of dependency graphs, it's basically a form of recursion.
Why not, it's like saying after Facebooks privacy scandal silicon valley became less popular for other companies.

I agree that the k8s ecosystem isn't quite as complex as it seems at first, but specifically running stateful apps does come pretty close to earning the bad reputation.

(Disclaimer: I've tried and failed several times to get pgsql up and running in k8s with and without operators, so that either makes me unqualified to discuss this, or perfectly qualified to discuss this)

If the operator were simple enough to be installed/uninstalled via a helm chart that Just Worked, I'd feel better about the complexity. But running a complicated, non-deterministic ansible playbook scares me. The other options (installing a pgo installer, or installing an installer to your cluster) are no better.

Also, configuring the operator is more complicated than it should be. Devs and sysadmins alike are used to `brew install postgresql-server` or `apt install postgresql-server` working just fine for 99% of use cases. I'll grant that it's not apples-to-apples since HA pgsql has never been easy, but if the sales pitch is that any superpower-less k8s admin can now run postgres, I think the manual should be shorter.
For me, pretty certain I’m staying in San Francisco.

Leaving was my original plan for this year. My late boyfriend had never lived outside the Bay Area, we decided were going to change that. Since his passing in March, that’s not an option for us anymore.

Why stay? My close friends - some of whom I have known and worked with for 15 years - all live here now. My boyfriend was an only son; being near his mother for mutual support has made this process a bit easier for us.

While moving away would be a good way to reset after losing my boyfriend, I feel that would be too much change to handle.

That’s not to say that things are staying the same around here. Two of my three roommates have cohabitated together here as a couple; and are indeed moving back to the Midwest soon - giving up their bedrooms.

That leaves two of us in a (rare for SF) 4 bedroom 3 bath house; which sets us all back about $4200/month.

I am not yet willing to give up my lease and head for the Suburbs at that low of a cost. Though not rent controlled, we’ve not had a rent increase since 2016.

It’s not just a cheap house. It’s got a lot of benefits. I have a backyard. I’m not sure a new landlord would install 7.2kW EV charging in the garage. I don’t share walls with neighbors. Once life gets social again, I’ll resume enjoying a 20 minute walk or 4 minute drive to the Castro, Haight-Ashbury, or Inner Sunset. If we are in this for the long-haul, I’ve got the interior greenbelt to hike.

If I consider staying in the Bay Area, it’s not substantially cheaper to rent (in comparison) outside of the City for single family homes. The quality of life for me suffers if I had to travel into SF - time, tolls, BART/Caltrain delays - it’s not worth the hassle even mostly working from home.

My plan is to wait for the housing bubble to burst again, and ride this out. I’m not moving back to the sauna like humidity and the frigid cold of the Midwest.

Nothing prevents me from asking for a rent decrease though.
