Everything is offensive to someone.

For example I know many people that would be offended by referred to has them or they instead of she/him.

There is no perfect solution there you will never offend anyone. Offense is taken not given.

In the words of Stephen Fry

“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what." -- Stephen Fry

Remember, you can please everyone some of the time, Some people all of the time, but you can never please everyone all the time
Just having this idea already tells how important it is to actively resist Google.

One should never forget that at a certain point, Google will likely invoke the looser's argument ("protect you from terrorists and pedophiles") to require proof of identity prior to granting access to any resource or service it controls.

Anything that helps them advance in that direction must be fought fiercely.

Love this way of learning about tech. : build one yourself (the truly noble way would be to try and build without having seen the specs, just from a description of what it does, but that'd take ages).

However: when it comes to implementations, the real hard part of the whole Bitcoin affair is where the gnarly details hide, namely consensu, and it is missing at this point.

It’s ok to ask questions regardless of how outrageous they seem. When you are met with censorship and physical barriers are put in you way, there is probably something there.

The Illuminati is real, there are many blood oath secret societies and our presidents, most all of them, have been members of one, there is an agenda 21, agenda 2030, Vietnam gulf of Tonkin was fake, the sinking of the lusintania was staged Martin Luther king was killed by the government... these are all real, factual, provable things that are considered at one point to be conspiracy theories.

We have to be vigilant and we have to think for ourselves. We have to be able to ask the difficult questions.

This is roughly analogous to "abstinence is the best form of birth control". It's not wrong, but it also isn't particularly realistic or helpful. The reality is that people often do want to exchange data, some times because it is legally or morally mandated, and tools that allow this to be done as safely as possible are important.

> I was arrested when I was 17 years old, and I have been in prison for over 30 yrs.; 20 yrs. of that was spent in solitary confinement, 90% of which I did in the windowless cells of Pelican Bay State Prison.

This is beyond fucked up. Arrested as a teenager, they've now spent more time alone in a windowless concrete cell than they did growing up. There's no information on what they did to warrant this, but there's a reason even murder sentences are (usually) less than 10 years in most European countries.
I remember a prof who bought a purple SRI workstation that didnt have enough RAM, he plugged into the Ethernet, couldn't get work done with it, left it plugged in anyway.

I found out two years later that the root password was the empty string.

Then there was the time I went to Syracuse for the first conference on Java for scientific computing and Geoff Fox had two identical twins from eastern Europe to run a demo on two workstations hooked up to a big SGI computer unsuccessfully which Geoff answer with 'never buy a gigabyte of cheap RAM'.

>1. Using your phone as an actual phone (i.e., an audio only conversation with the thing held to your ear, or with a headset).

There's no indication this bans audio calls, given it specifically calls out smart phones I'd wager that's not their intent.

>2. Using it as a navigational aid. If I'm not too sure where I'm going I'll often use either Google or Apple Maps to set up directions before I start walking. I'll then put the phone in my pocket and just pull it out from time to time to check I'm still heading in the right direction.

So be respectful and step out of the flow of foot traffic to check it? They didn't say you couldn't use your smartphone in public, they said not to do it while you're walking. I'm sure they got sick of idiots either running into other people or walking into traffic with their faces glued to their phones. Can't say I blame them.

Given that HTTP Signed Exchanges are nowhere near a web standard at this point, I think you should tone down your vitriol considerably.

Currently, what the parent commenter is saying is completely valid and true; if you're serving things on your domain and have a cert for it, you can serve https://youdomain.com/<anything>, where <anything> could be www.nytimes.com, www.google.com, or whatever. HTTP Signed Exchanges proposes a breaking change to this, and therefore is non-intuitive for the vast majority of users.

The people who claim these words are offensive are a tiny fraction of the total population which, if the reasoning those offended people use were to hold true should be offended. When it comes to the use of terms like master/slave and blacklist/whitelist in source code or configuration data most people will not even be aware that this is a thing, let alone that they should be offended by it.

Even more problematic is that the majority of the people who claim these terms are offensive use projection upon others to derive the offensive nature of said terms since they themselves are neither the descendants of slaves nor of former slave owners, nor are they truly offended by the supposedly positive connotation of the word 'white' in terms like 'whitelist'. In the last few years a cult has grown around the concept of 'white guilt' led by a priestly class of apostles like Robin DiAngelo (author of 'White Fragility', currently the #1 bestseller according to the New York Times). What the cult leaders don't seem to realise is that their narrative totally revolves around 'white' people who they put in the centre of their universe which' well-being depends on their actions and inactions. They are just as race-centred as white (or black) nationalists, they just approach the situation from a different position. They can both use Kipling's The White Man's Burden as a guide, they just view it as an indictment against 'the white man' instead of a proclamation of manifest destiny. They deny agency to 'non-white' people by claiming they can only truly reach their peak by grace of the 'white' people seceding from positions of power.

In short, these cultists are racists, their racism being that of low expectations. Martin Luther King had it right, when it comes to race relations the ideal society is a colour-blind society.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today!

Neither myself or xvector have used IRIX, so descriptors like "streamlined" are not concrete enough.

Yes. In fact that this is the exact (very exciting and somewhat recent) experiment that proved that if gravity does propagate in higher dimensions, then the dimensions must be very thin.

Edit: To be clear: the experiment I’m referring to was the observation of two neutron stars merging. Since there was no event horizon prior to the merger, we’d expect a lot of EM energy to be radiated away. This new observation is neat because we’d expect much less EM energy out of a black hole merger.

There was a remake of that movie made in the 90s with Tony Danza, a different take but also worth watching. In that movie the racist tirade is made by a non-white juror who is stopped by the grandfatherly German juror in a calm tone: “You just shut your filthy mouth and don’t open it again.”

I thought the GP's comment was the best I'd read in a while on HN, but you're right that it refers to a more specific phenomenon. The GP nailed it, though, with

> The use of the term is purely to denigrate the person by vaguely deriding the values that they've presented as the basis for their argument.

– which is the way it normally seems to me used on here. Someone says X, then someone else who doesn't share the feeling that made them say X, accuses them of virtue signalling. It's a bad faith, hostile thing to say - you wouldn't talk to your friends like that.

It seems similar somehow to a term we have in Australia, a bleeding heart, applied by someone on the political right to someone on the political left who expresses, for example, sympathy with poor people or mentally-ill people. To someone without those sympathies, it will sound like the person is faking that emotion, being "politically correct", just saying what they think they should, morally, and not sincerely expressing how they feel, since the person on the right doesn't share that emotion. Such people are called bleeding hearts. (...I just looked at your comments and see you're in Oz too. Hi!)

Actually, we (you, me, GP) are talking about two different things - one is the alleged signalling itself, which your definition describes. The other is the act of labelling something as virtue signalling, which the GP describes in the part I quoted. And like 'hater', 'whining', etc, people may be haters, may whine, but saying that to their face is an unfriendly, bad faith move. No-one feels they are a hater, or whining, or virtue signalling. They feel they're doing something else, and you're presenting your guess that they're wrong about that as a certain diagnosis. You claim to see clearly what they can't see at all.

Seems to me, the use of the term "virtue signalling" as a weapon in a fight/debate is itself a pungent form of virtue signalling, and is the main one that bothers me! It attempts to signal that one is above virtue signalling, and like "You can trust me!" or "I'm not racist", raises its own doubts about that, for me at least. I don't like the term, avoid using it, and don't think it does any good.

Which brings me to my so-called Arsehole Theory of the World - that those who spend their lives calling others arseholes, are themselves arseholes. Those who often call other people idiots, are idiots etc. It's not easy to be human and not a hypocrite. Easier to tell the other guy he's one.

It's actually great German. Syntactically sophisticated. I am surprised by the use of the subsentence (not sure what the proper babe for this is) which puts the three larger cities in the middle of the last sentence.

It would have been possible to place the three larger cities at the end of the sentence similar to the English example. This would have sounded a bit more bot-like, and was somehow what I expected.

So seeing this particular German example is actually quite a good example showing the power of this approach.

> It's usually tough and with some heated arguments, but it is indeed possible.

Sure, but both the Communist and the Nazi will judge each other's ideology, and very openly tell them apart from "the rest" of possible ideologies. A catholic from one catholic sect will usually have fewer issues with somebody from another catholic sect or even a protestant, than a pagan.

I don't think there is a place or point in time where everybody is essentially saying "that's your opinion, okay, whatever" with regards to ideologies and religions that aren't their own. Whether that discrimination will lead to oppression and violence is another issue, but surely everyone has an opinion on whether something is (factually and/or morally) wrong or right, and when they feel safe enough, they will say so.

I agree with your perception that it seems to have become harder to tolerate people of different convictions, though I don't think the US is unique in that way, it's just more in the open there, and their much more pronounced idea of freedom of speech and fewer labor laws make it easier to "cancel" someone, which in turn makes increases the frequency of it being tried.

It feels like a wealth thing. The poor in any society have larger problems than policing each others thoughts, and the better-off use it to play social power games.

I'm not really trying to cover for them. I'm pointing out that it wouldn't have changed anything.

I remember very well how it was like back in January. People had so little trust in China (and frankly a lot of it was racism) that they saw Wuhan, a city the size of NYC, being locked down, and that was really bad for us.

As far as people being aware of the screw-up, as far as I'm concerned that's a good thing. What's important is that one knows that we're not where we are because of them. We're where we are because we fucked up, hard. The popular narrative right now is that if China didn't fuck up we wouldn't be in the mess we are right now, and that's false. We're in the mess we are right now 100% because we didn't take it seriously.
