> Every totalitarian government says that censorship is for the people's protection.

Because this is the messaging the people will accept, a dictator could just say that's the way it is deal with it but they don't, they use the narrative the people will accept.

> Then the government gets to decide what is or isn't misinformation.
>> The only solution people provide is that we need to get rid of the bad information

There is no "the government" its just people, two factions the red flag and the blue flag both get their information from their own isolated sources of what is accurate. The truth is somewhere in the middle ground with both sides deciding that whatever doesn't fit their current clic is misinformation. Democracy is great at giving us two flags instead of one but I don't really give a fuck about flags I care about individual freedom.

> A population with good critical thinking skills is necessary in a democracy.

100% and I feel our democracy is failing because people are just not motivated toward critical thinking, its difficult and calls yourself into question, what if you are wrong? or supported something you no longer believe in? in a world with cancel culture and mob justice? Fascism is a low effort alternative for many. Simple problem: all the other flag wavers, simple solution: get rid of them.

If democratic countries want to remain that way we need to give up our tyranny and flag waving in support of real freedom. People won't do it naturally we need to change the system to encourage people to think by rewarding them for doing so. Change peoples motives toward critical thinking and democracy and away from fascism and tyranny.
Agreed with this. I started 2 weeks before my company began the SIP, which itself was a few weeks earlier than the government mandate.

It's been _rough_. I knew going in that I hadn't joined a new company in 5 years, so it'd be difficult. But this has been a whole different level.

Nearly 6 months in now and I still don't feel like I've meshed with the majority of my team, only one or two people who are just extra friendly, and forget knowing anybody outside of my team at all.

I rarely get pings from anyone asking how things are going; I usually wind up needing to do that myself.

I've never been a very extroverted person, but I'd definitely prefer working from an office (in obviously better circumstances) during this period of on-boarding and readjustment. I feel so isolated right now, which is completely opposite of how I think I would have been if I were still at my last role but during this environment.

There is no such thing as a private company in China in this context, except in name only. The government is deeply enmeshed in these tech companies' products, from requiring real verified names to censorship and other draconian policies.

The notion that there are big tech companies in China operating outside the CCP's influence is, charitably, naive.
We haven't had enough cycles to look at Podman in details (yet), but my understanding is that Podman and Docker serve similar purposes: they are high-level runtimes. (i'm obviating important nuances though and i'm not podman expert).

Sysbox, on the other hand, acts as a low-level runtime (same as runc), so we could potentially integrate with Podman too. In fact, we could _potentially_ integrate with anything that speaks OCI spec.

Having said that, we are not there yet, as for example sysbox wouldn't work with Podman in rootless mode right now; it should work in regular mode though, but we haven't tried it yet. If we accomplish this, it would allow podman to launch a larger set of applications too, same as we are doing for Docker.

You're right, congress has given up power to other branches of government. Judicialization of government is a clear problem that has come to weaken the democratic system, despite some high profile wins by progressive groups. For example, the citizen's united decision has been a major blow on democratic representation inflicted by the judiciary in favor or the wealthy elite. This has even promoted the international influence on elections we see today, since companies may have international conflicts of interest that are much more complex than individuals.
I would say it is more than the world, we use language to discuss our intentions, desires, beliefs, willingness, etc. All of which there is value to speakers to being ambiguous. Some languages are even better than English at giving speakers the ability to dial up or down ambiguity when expressing ostensibly the same intention, in ways that a careful listener would find signal in.

>While bad, this isn't remotely the same either in scope or scale as China's similar issues. In the US you end up in this matrix if you're perceived to be a legitimate, real, prone-to-violent-acts threat. In China you end up in their "disposition matrix" if you say anything negative about anyone

There is nothing to this except "I'm fine when the US does it." You have no idea which targets are real, prone to violence threats, or how valid either states research is before acting. Further, even if you're fine with the current US targets Google is still fine giving them that data even though it's being used to kill people.

> Is the implication of violence/aggression in said speech is a justified consequence?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking here, but note that I was speaking to definitions (ie I wasn't debating the merits of any particular situation). Employing relevant terms in a mutually understood manner is a prerequisite for the productive conversation of a topic.

> this is because it is against the principle of free speech, and people might conflate it with 1A?

You misunderstand. In the hypothetical situation, the merits (or extent, or mechanics, etc) of free speech (ie the principle) in some specific social context (ex at work) are being discussed. Someone shows up to the party and unhelpfully points out what the current legal realities are. But the legal status isn't what's under discussion - in context, it's an off topic comment that serves only to derail the conversation.

This would be an interesting ethical discussion if it weren't predicated on a conversation every parent has with their 14 year old.

Yes, I know you want this thing, but things don't just magically appear. It all takes effort. Are you going to contribute? Or do you just expect other people to do stuff for you or you'll throw a tantrum? You are getting older now and this is not acceptable behavior.

The problem is not ads. The problem is that people want things for free. If you get things for free you're not a customer. If you're neither the customer or the vendor in the transaction, then you are the product. Ads are by far the most obvious form of this but there are others actors who would be much, much worse if they were the customer. If 'somebody worse than ads' are the only customers, then they will just get more brazen. Like loan shark brazen, or possibly police state brazen.

We need a way to pay for things that's not a paywall, and not a surveillance state. Given the other conversations in this thread, this company is trying to be neither. Whether they succeed or have ulterior motives I have no way of knowing.

The OP site also has a “cached” link for each article, don’t know if you saw that.

I love this. The search box had an option to autocomplete terms I had recently searched, I clicked on one (a term I was interested in, obviously) and immediately found an interesting HackerNews post. Nice!

I think HackerNews and other link aggregators (e.g. reddit) have a kind of recency problem, where there is a lot of great content, but people only see the recent stuff. This seems like a great way to uncover some of the latent value of old HackerNews content.

Is there a way to suggest content too? e.g. If you liked that, you'd probably also like X, Y, and Z.
These days, niceness is considered not adequate for this kind of thing ... you should get better results if you put all the worker threads in one cgroup, and your ssh/shell in another cgroup, with the cpu group scheduler enabled, and this should keep fairness for your interactive shell.

They weren’t part of the original set of Mac shortcuts, and couldn’t have been. The keyboard of the first Mac didn’t have cursor keys, nor did it have a control key (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Keyboard#Macintosh_Key... ).

"...it's also a request to identify a police officer, which has legitimate purposes."

And given the context of calling a police officer a "bitch", do you think the requester was doing so to accurately file a complaint... or doing so in the hope that armed with the cop's identity, somebody would engage in harassment of that man and/or his family?

Being charged with a felony for the tweet is absurd.

But painting this as an innocent request for information is almost equally so.
In my experience, Rust and C++ developers seldom use tail recursion with the expectation that it's zero-cost. In almost all cases it's much more natural to use a loop in those languages.

That would be messed up, but what is actually being said is “Given that you need to go out into the danger, its good for you that I don't go out and needlessly increase that danger.”

In fact, I've heard the exact argument made from the side of workers that have to go out into the danger—whether to deal with it directly because thet are in healthcare, or because they work in retail in essential sectors, or whatever—that out of respect for their safety, people who don't need to be out magnifying the danger shouldn't be.
Make sure to note the publicly employed police officer was wearing a mask, which hides his identity.
Because only Sith think in absolutes. It's objectively positive because there are a lot fewer people out there to get infected and lowers the overall case load for health and other essential workers. Unfortunately it hurts other. There will always be winners and losers.

They are not co-equal in the sense of equivalence. Because they have different roles and responsibilities with some minor overlap.

Congress cannot make administrative law or enforce law.

The Executive cannot appropriate money.

The Judiciary cannot enforce law or make laws.

For example: courts can issue contempt orders against the Executive branch (and many have) but the Executive branch can ignore them (as many have); Congress can pass as many laws as it wants, but unless the executive branch enforces those laws they mean little; the Executive can refuse to appoint/nominate Judges and Justices, nothing Congress or the Judiciary can do about that; and so on.

With Reddit and HackerNews, I want a relative ranking index. I can search by the top content, but something 5th today could have more votes than the top submission of 2015 because of forum/subreddit growth.

I want them ranked by something like the ratio of views to upvotes or upvotes compared to total upvotes for that day.
Can you give an example where CSE/hoisting is necessary to make an abstraction zero-cost?

Indeed, nobody cares about the exact appraisal of your value. It's a market transaction - if both the seller and the buyer are satisfied with the price then the deal goes through at that price.

>which is severely handicapped for the candidates, because they don’t know the offers made to others in comparable experience and education

It does not matter. If you are not satisfied with the offer - ask for more or walk away. If you are - then it does not matter what others got especially to you, who have not evaluated them at all. What you think is "comparable" might be far from that in my view and vice versa.

>In some labor markets, the non-negotiable salary is advertised with the job ads. Not claiming that is an infallible solution, but it makes for a drastically different labor market.

Yeah, I gave an example in the post you replied to: the unskilled labor market. Amazon pays the same rate to every warehouse drone and it's known in advance. Same as many retail jobs, same as many trades.

"co-equal" doesn't mean "equal". We all know that the 3 branches have different powers and different numbers of powers.

Oxford dictionary definition of "co-equal":

> equal with one another; having the same rank or importance.[1]

The point of "co-equal branches" is to say that they are separate entities and none is subordinate to the others. The "checks" are only really enforced by norms.

I'm not even sure if everyone would gain from having a high-quality shared ontology, because as soon as you go beyond trivial examples, the details of the data model inevitably have competing incompatible needs which require some compromise.

I could certainly imagine that for many companies the disadvantages of using a model that's not simply a copy of their specific view of that problem domain are larger than the hypothetical benefits of interoperability, so even if such a shared ontology would exist, many would intentionally choose to use their own ontology instead of adapting to that standard.
