Apple are definitely doing some good things. In Catalina they revealed to me that Backup and sync from Google.app was spying on my Downloads folder on my Mac - something it has no business doing, and which I never intended to be happening on my computer. macOS now prompts for permission when an app tries to read a major directory area without you directing first asking it to.

But Apple are a corporation. They only do enough privacy things to support their particular business model. That explains their baffling inconsistencies.

Ultimately, Apple can't be trusted if you truly value your privacy. I'm planning a move to Linux, which is easier than ever to use these days. Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Ubuntu...it's lookin' good.
why are there so many comments assuming that the point of this project is to facilitate lighter moderation than Reddit has? the code of conduct on the site is pretty clear, actually.

now, can you start a federated instance with that kind of content? sure. but just like how none of the normal mastodon servers federate with Gab, no one would have to federate with the cesspool.
I believe I heard on a podcast that there's a theory that dark matter might actually be multiple things, and that neutrinos could just account for a small percentage of that. Is that correct?

Ask HN: Can we sell something on HN?
I had this question from a long time and wanted to ask the community regarding it - I had purchased a domain and started working on a side project but got side tracked. Is it okay to sell it on HN? Lots of devs go through the site each day and I'm sure someone would find the project interesting.

I agree that there are sites like sedo, flippa and 1kprojects (now indiemaker) but they are not as easy as submitting something to HN and waiting for an offer.
Then definitely track down Macmillan's Best of Soviet Science Fiction series:

https://www.librarything.com/publisherseries/Macmillan%27s+B...

and:

Think Roadside Picnic x 100, because that's the quantity of really excellent science fiction stories and ideas you can expect.

A free (but bad) translation of 'Self Discovery' by Vladimir Savchenko is available if you search. I used this, together with my own physical copy, to make a proper ebook - let me know if you want a copy; I can't locate it at this moment...

I'll remind you that you asked for us to have this discussion in a respectful manner. You don't seem to be doing that. So I'll just leave you with a few questions to ponder:

If Black people and White people use cannabis at the same rate, why are Black people more than 3x more likely to be arrested for marijuana use?

> The only guys responsible for that, are the fathers themselves, in that case, because what they did is inexcusable.

So given the above fact (that black people are more likely to be punished for the same crimes), you're saying that it is ultimately black people's responsibility to be more law abiding than white people?

> On top of that, such behaviour naturally incurrs some legitimate prejudice, because why should you respect someone who themselves communicate that they are weaker than others?

How does saying "the cards are stacked against us" imply weakness? Again, based on the facts, you want Black people to hold themselves to a higher standard than white people to stay out of the justice system. You're asking them to work harder. How is them recognizing that they are held to a higher standard recognizing some kind of weakness?

> What's some quaint southern strategy from the 70's to do with the current FBI dataset on racial crime anyway?

Do you think drug laws passed in the 70s, but which are still on the books today, and which define what is criminal might influence the statistics on crime today?

Do you think it might be worth looking at the disparate impact of some of those laws if people admitted that the strategy at the time was to pass laws that had negative impact on certain communities?
Passive house standards don’t cut it. Reducing 90% doesn’t matter if many of those energy improvements also apply to cooling.

> Waste heat from lights

Use LEDs and this is irrelevant for a home.

> people is constantly offsetting the heating energy

Insignificant in the scheme of things. Humans can’t even keep themselves warm when holding still in 50F.

> it's also about solar radiation gain.

Do you realize how little sun cities in the north get during the winter? Conversely, solar electricity can conveniently capture plenty of electricity quite near the time it’s required in the South.

Peak air con time is when there is solar radiation. Peak heating time is in the dead of night.

I think an argument can be made that we should have given up (figure of speech: rather, distributed most of resource to other experiments) on WIMP much sooner. These days we agree "WIMP didn't work out", but in retrospect, was it actually the most promising prospect for dark matter, even in 2010? Why was XENON a better experiment than, say, ADMX? I mean, if it were up to me I would fund both, but I think there was certain inertia and undeserved bias for WIMP.
Not that you'll believe me, but of course I care about the injustices done to these individuals. Even if they are only three among millions suffering, each tragedy is experienced individually and the overwhelming agony is borne individually. Every single injustice is hard to witness.

For what it's worth I don't expect to persuade anybody of anything. I think that's unrealistic, even if learning from each other is not.

> what exactly do you mean by "blown out of proportion"?

These events occupy a tiny corner of a much larger picture of human suffering. Talking about them in isolation, as if the rest of the picture doesn't exist, is wrong.

I'd call it reductio ad absurdum personally, an application of your logic elsewhere to reach absurd conclusions. And the existence of inter-generational effects are the undisputed facts I started with, not the conclusions reached via your logic, which are that the existence of these effects support the charge of systemic war/famine/etc. Whether it's just semantics depends on what you think the supposed existence of these "systemic evils" requires morally.

> Otherwise we’d celebrate slavery as selling one person to another is just telling them “I like what you do” and providing value.

No, we wouldn't. We consider the slaves part of society and their suffering is far greater than the gain of the slave owners. Society suffers.
Inflation caused by currency debasement is very much not a flat tax - the major effect of it is not on the prices (though some inertia and 'stickiness' of e.g. wages definitely applies as you note) but on all cash-denominated assets and contracts, especially lending.

In particular, it's a tax on all savings in cash and bonds (but not on investments in stocks), and it's a boon to all debt. For example, the total housing mortgage volume is huge - so if currency debasement causes any significant, rapid, unexpected inflation (expected inflation is priced in the interest rates) then it's a significant shift of wealth from the lenders (and, correspondingly, to all people and businesses holding money in banks) to the mortagage borrowers.

>It's very weird and makes me believe there is something more to the story. Like a very fat check, not just the regular incentives or even plain old kickbacks.

It could be, though whenever I get interested in a case like that after the facts, it ends up in a version of someone in a company noticing something is fishy, and someone else pulling rank on them telling them to back down not to upset a very lucrative client. Just be quiet because I'm getting calls from the fishy company's boss threatening to take their business to another firm. Don't be rude, we're making a good buck with them.

It's also their model of independent entities sharing a name, with varying degrees of scrutiny and diligence.

It's interesting how incentive structure and checks have to be dialed in the bigger, more distributed an actor gets.

Maybe I should rephrase it, or make an addition. We do have a societal responsibility to acknowledge and respect opposing views. And I do keep following people who keep it civil and respect the discourse and the medium.

The ones I unfollow are generally shills, people who make absolute statements, demagogues that heavily depend on rhetoric instead of substance. Unfortunately, Twitter's format pushes people into this behavior too. In that case, I block, in order not to become a conduit for these people's toxic messages. I block out of responsibility for my own and my followers' sanity.

> I feel like many, many problems could be solved if more people remembered that. If nothing else, it could reduce polarization.

IMO the platform design and parameters cause this polarization. It's not enough to educate people outside the platform, when the platform is a hotbed of viral messages, and the dominant strategy is to be an "asshole", according to the etiquette of the outside world. On the platform, however, it is what makes your account successful.

One idea is to define strict rules of digital etiquette. Kids could be taught these starting at a young age. You could also enforce them algorithmically on the platform.
I am curious to know how in the world someone with $100/hr could not provide a professional service?

Doesn't lower hourly rate means less experienced professional?

I should probably increase my rate from $45/hr to at least $60/hr considering that I don't annoy my clients like you in Upwork.

On the contrary, getting clients to actually pay over $100/hr is a holy grail. How many clients did these guys had in their history?

I don't think modlogs and otherwise increasing moderation transparency on reddit would have any effect whatsoever.

Many mods of popular subreddits abuse their power and enforce their world views on redditors. This is only possible because reddit admins don't care.
That's why there is so much drama now and again when mods will wholesale-ban or delete legitimate content that doesn't break the rules and they just won't respond to questions. Or even worse - they respond by taunting the redditors who would like to know the reason behind the decision.

I was banned from a large sub for linking to statistics on official government website to help support my argument.
This happens all the time on reddit.

And it's not like it's only my experience. Ask anyone on reddit what they think of mods and you'll hear the same story.
I'm not sure what more you want exactly? What are you suggesting it could be?

You have the data from multiple agencies, what fits?

I'm happy for alternatives, but multiple agencies say it's civilian and Russia. I want to leave this crazy, it's weapons and it's machine reading malfunctions threads.

So given the data what are you saying it could be?

This is why the comment section exists, to work towards to better understanding what is going on. Unless you are from Russia trying to sow doubt, you have to give a plausible alternative that fits the data. Saying it's possible it's something else is just sowing disinformation.
Agreed on the conflation, and clearly there are many parts of the FDA that need attention. However this article is misleading because it focuses heavily on one teams (basically then Seattle Flu Study) of extremely competent people hamstrung by onerous requirements. It ignores the many more incompetent people stopped by more scrutiny and the errors that low scrutiny produce.

As an example for the latter I point to antibody tests, many of which were given approval despite being poorly validated (1). These cause at least as much harm as good.

The FDA needs to improve and we need to remove some counterproductive regulatory steps (when the emergency was declared, in some ways it got harder to approve a test under EUA, that should be adjusted). But lets remember that hasty decisions in medicine can cost lives (see thalidomide, which the FDA mostly dodged unlike Europe, or Viox). We shouldn’t make broad decisions on examples cherry picked from the best case scenarios.

YAML would be almost perfect if it allowed tabs and their reasoning against them is stupid IMO. The main argument against YAML is that it is difficult to parse, but there are plenty of high-quality parsers.

TOML just looks ugly and confusing when it comes to more complex things but looks great for just strings.

JSON is worst IMO because of lack of comments. I think YAML is a lot more readable than JSON but some people like the strict requirements.

Yes, it sometimes is a a problem. I have had two mobile service visits. One to replace the 12 V battery that was done under warranty and happened quite quickly and on time; another to replace a smashed door mirror that was delayed by a week because of a mistake in their internal processes.

The biggest problem I have with Tesla (the company not the car) is that they are very bad at communication. Unlike the supercharger network, which is very nearly ubiquitous in northern Europe, their telephone service is almost impossible to use because it is simply permanently overloaded. This is a major problem if you are trying to call them from a mobile phone in an area with poor coverage such as when one has blown out a tyre by hitting a pothole on a rural road in north Devon in the pouring rain.

I was using "they" to refer to bartering economies without currency as a value placeholder, where you personally would exchange one item for another.

> And we'd have to figure out what "inefficient" means here and if it is even a bad thing.

That depends on what you want to achieve. Feeding a large population? Advancing human progress? Not working 18 hours a day in back breaking labor? Art? Knowledge? You'll want efficiency.

That's not an argument for unsustainable resource usage as in cutting down forests, fracking etc, it's about using human time efficiently.

> Not chasing after shirts for days, but playing your role in the small society and having all of your needs met.

With "your needs" being very basic because there is practically nothing advanced. I don't think that "back to a simpler life" is going to be the answer. The Amish are doing it (but not really, they do use the surrounding health care system etc), but very few others even try. And those societies that have not yet achieved the comforts of an advanced modern society are usually quite happy to exchange the simpler life for a better, longer one.
The title is misleading. They are only going to ban sales within the state.

Honestly, the rule seems to mean almost nothing if you can just drive any truck in from anywhere.

This is an incredibly weak move.

Couldn’t it just be a coincidence that the most recent wealthy societies are the wealthiest societies in history, and they also tend to claim to adhere to “free markets” ideas? The wealth could actually be caused by compounding benefits of technology or even exploitation of other societies, and may have little to do with how their public schools describe their economic system in middle school civics courses.
Actually you did make the point, which is why I alluded to it being an assumption of your point of view. The entire notion of your argument breaks down because of it.

If I was to translate it backward to something an exact equivalent - you get a $250k loan for your business/startup in SF but you spend it on feeding yourself/kids and paying rent because you absolutely have to do those things and you're struggling to pay your bills/rent & SF is damn expensive.

You don't exactly do that though with your 250k loan/predatory startup bond, though.

You're basically saying, albeit in a different frame of reference, the entity giving you the 250k loan is predatory because you are incentivised to pay your rent and you might be struggling to do so.

The assumption, once again, is the relative purchasing powers are different in the developing world vs your frame of reference.
