Ah, so compose isn't actually held down. What we do is we press compose, then release, then do the combination we want. In this. Now, for ó, it's not actually compose (⎄ is compose's symbol) "o, it's ⎄'o, with an apostrophe, so it's not as bad. Indeed, there, are some pretty bad ones, like ⎄`+o, which gives you ờ (a Vietnamese letter), but it's still usable. The point of compose is the sheer number of combinations it has. Finding a new combination on https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/libX11/i18n/compose/e... is almost magical.

I mean, I'd just use PDF, but I get the need for Word. In that case... Office Online is an option? You can probably write up everything in a solution like LibreOffice (which is not as abominable as people make it out to be, and some of the horrid bugs it used to have have been fixed, but it's not perfect either), and export to DOCX, then check it through in Office Online and it should be good. LibreOffice does have word count in the bottom as well, which is a nice addition

Linux also supports trackpad gestures, although they are prone to not being as smooth or whatnot. Since I spend my life on the keyboard I use that instead, and it's just as productive. I find it annoying to go reach for my trackball.

Indeed, yes. Although I should probably take that into account too since I'm switching to a 60% keyboard that doesn't have arrow keys, and I'm going to have to relearn a lot of stuff. In the end, as others have said, switching to Linux feels bad in the beginning but you grow to love it as time passes. Sure, it has issues, such as these, but it also has other strong advantages.
Arent there OSS license types that disallow commercial forks and/or service businesses? I'm assuming if someone chose a license that allows for commercial activity, they want it to happen.

I think the automobile (and building codes, for that matter) one are interesting too in that they've mainly had cost impacts instead of enjoyment impacts, and have encountered much less resistance - although the cumulative impact of those costs are pretty high, economically.

I think whoever is planning for future pandemic responses should take that into account - the more normal, enjoyable things we can find ways to provide safely, the better.

Yep, open-source is 'free' as in puppy. The TCO of open source software is not zero. It's just that some people are willing to absorb those external costs.

When I, as a developer, have an issue with some open source code, I spend some amount of time fixing it (labor cost), and some amount of time with a broken system (downtime). But it's not a big deal for me, if I spend 30 minutes troubleshooting a problem. Scale that up to a company with thousands of employees, and those can be big costs.

It's not at all clear what "the original idea of 'free speech'" even was. In the US, the wording of the First Amendment is quite vague.

I think people have a mental model that social media sites and apps are like a communication medium. They are a neutral carrier that transmits an idea X from person A to B. The site itself is not "tainted" by the content of X or get involved in the choices of A and B.

But a more accurate model is that they are amplifiers and selectors. The algorithms and ML models at the heart of every social media app often determine who B is. A is casting X out into the aether and the site itself uses its own code to select the set of Bs that will receive it—both who they are and how large that set is. From that perspective, I think it is fair that apps take greater responsibility for the content they host.

Here's an analogy that might help:

Consider a typical print shop. You show up with your pamphlet, pay them some money, and they hand you back a stack of copies. Then you go out and distribute them. The print shop doesn't care what your pamphlet says and I think is free from much moral obligation to care.

Now consider a different print shop. You drop off your pamphlet and give them some money. Lots of other people do. Then the print shop itself decides how many copies to make for each pamphlet. Then it also decides itself which street corners to leave which pamphlets on. That sounds an awful lot to me like they have a lot of responsibility over the content of those pamphlets.

The latter is much closer to how most social media apps behave today.
The First Amendment's guarantee of free speech is worded as an absolute, there are no exceptions in the text.

However, no functioning society could allow unlimited free speech. There are many exceptions to the First Amendment – fraud, perjury, defamation, death threats, "shouting fire in a crowded theatre", speech in violation of privacy or duties of confidentiality, etc.

I don't think the original authors of the First Amendment meant it to be unlimited. They didn't intend it to legalise fraud or perjury or defamation.

But, given they didn't leave any guidance in the text as to which exceptions are valid and which are not, it is basically up to SCOTUS to decide. And which exceptions SCOTUS accepts as valid change as the moods of its majority changes – and will likely continue to change in the future.

The equivalent provision in the European Convention on Human Rights is Article 10, which says: "The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary".

I think that's better than the First Amendment in that it acknowledges in the text the reality that exceptions are necessary, and makes some attempt to outline what the exceptions are. However, there is still a lot of room for interpretation by the European Court of Human Rights as to the proper scope of all those exceptions, especially regarding what is "necessary in a democratic society" and what isn't. Few would claim the Court always gets it right. But, at least, the European Court of Human Rights is arguably a far less politicised institution that the US Supreme Court.
One question I have is, what could they have done to avoid such tracking?

I thought there were more secure coins, token remixers, etc., and that if you were determined and not stuck with one exchange or (say) Bitcoin, you could muddy the waters pretty well.

> To reduce the likelihood of passing that chargeback threshold and being banned, OnlyFans uses "cascading payments", which essentially load balances the payments across multiple payment processors in order to reduce their chargeback ratios across their merchant accounts

Very smart.
Blacklisting apps for content that the app might access is not moderating content on a platform based on a user's request.

Ah, the delicious irony of attacking certain types of speech and ideas as "attacks on speech and ideas". What they are doing and what you are doing are no different; it's all just politics. There's not even anything new about what's happening today. How do you think people's minds were changed on all those "controversial" topics you cite? A whole lot of social pressure. You don't get to make lofty statements about free speech, and then turn around and grumble that other people's speech somehow isn't "playing fair".
Being a gay is not a choice, the same way as being a black, a minority etc. Being an asshole is a choice on the other way, the same as being radical left or radical right. The former is protected the latter is not.
There's a link to the motor manufacturer in the article (but it's down right now). As I recall the two motors are identical with no common parts other than the engine block.
> And I can use that price to turn my stocks into real, hard cash

you can - but if good fraction of the stockholders were to lose hope and start selling stock the market value would evaporate into thin air very quickly.

OTOH if the value of those stocks was 80% backed by stable assets (production plants, building, land, gold, ...) it would evaporate much less quickly.

That fits the definition of virtual, speculation-based, value.
It's a problem with the drafting – the original authors always meant for there to be exceptions, but decided not to specify explicitly in the text what those exceptions were going to be – thus leaving it up to the courts to decide in practice what exceptions are allowed and what are not.

The obscenity exception was largely non-controversial until the 20th century, because there was a broad societal consensus, among both popular and elite opinion, that obscenity and pornography did not deserve First Amendment protection. It was only in the 20th century that societal consensus broke down, and it was in that context the US Supreme Court decided to reduce the scope of that exception. (It still exists, and is still occasionally enforced.) The original authors and ratifiers of the First Amendment supported laws against obscenity, and didn't believe the First Amendment prohibited them.

Ultimately the courts have to decide what laws mean, even constitutional laws – but they could always have given them more guidance, by being more explicit in the text about which exceptions are valid and which are not

I would start with an fairly recent tutorial written by Bostock himself: https://observablehq.com/@d3/learn-d3

A point I personally needed to grasp back when I first worked with D3 was that the data drives the visuals (hence data-driven documents). It was not an animation library. It's also not a charting library, but some charting libraries are built on top of D3.

Lastly, the D3 wiki also contains links to other tutorials, but they're most likely running on v3:

Because most investors don't believe that the USD is being significantly diluted? I know the idea that inflation is just around the corner is big here on HN, but it's not a big concern on financial markets. The inflation implied by TIPS is only 2% (the Fed target).

>but a ban on specific implementations that make it easy to join specific communities which encourage hatred and real-world violence.

As you state, one can access these specific communities in a number of ways, including Google Chrome. If the community is the issue, go after the community, not an ActivityPub app that can access content from these and other communities.

Should Google also ban RSS reader apps that don't actively block RSS feeds from sites Google doesn't like?
What about deplatforming BLM, which seems to be the major driver for this unrest and criminal activity? As can be seen clearly in the video, the 17 year old was running away and defending himself against multiple attackers, some of whom were themselves armed.

Your framing is interesting, as depending on the personality type you're talking to, you'll get the exact same words, but with the intent going in the opposite direction. There's the "right" and "rational" way (our way of thinking, naturally), and then the people who are emotional and rationalizing.
This asset forfeiture along blockchains seems like charging a restaurant for serving gangsters because their customer paid using the proceeds of crime. Except with a blockchain, it becomes like seizing assets as compensation from a vinyard that supplied the wine to the restaurant who served the gangsters, and maybe even garnishing the wages of the grape pickers to be sure.

It's stolen money, and how can anyone be against stopping crime, except the definition of crime always seems to expand. The trouble with "justice" is it is a good for which demand is infinite, with the false implication that the price paid for it is never too high. I'd be wary of these technologies.
Am I the only person that gets worried when a great open source project gets a lot of VC money?

Without VC funding, an open source project is a success if it is useful to the devs and provides a comfortable income to the maintainers. Basically, a "lifestyle" business.

With VC funding, the goal now becomes generating huge returns or failing fast, which is fundamentally at odds with a good open source project. Thus the pressure comes to either aggressively monetize the project, or else to get it acquired by someone.
That's what I found. Another pet peeve was extremely wide screens, although we don't see that as much these days. Not great for editing text or code.
Politics, regulations, and lobbying by telecom companies are all wolves at the door of the hobby.
If that's the case, one would expect the FX rate changes to equally increase European market valuations, if USD is the unit of account (numerare). If the Euro were being diluted at a rate that kept FX rates in check, then one would expect that to equally buoy European market valuations. So, there may well be something to be said about USD dilution, but I don't see how it affects the relative market capitalizations of the US tech sector vs. the Eurozone markets.
> But what mystifies me is how these people keep going for years without ever realising they aren't getting account transaction emails (from their banks), notifications of stock trades, even OTP emails etc.

It's still miles away from what's done in the US/China.

Like, the whole TikTok thing is being ridiculous, in my point of view.

For example, strategic assets for the EU are airlines, or automotive industry, it's where you've seen government intervention.

But I'm not saying it's a good thing! In my country China bought the only Energy company we had - how isn't this considered a strategic asset?

Sometimes I think EU is too naive, or the whole "trying to lead by example" doesn't work financially/growth wise.
They are not VCs, they are a Private Equity firm: https://www.franciscopartners.com/about

PE investments are very different. They are probably going to either slim/trim or focus on some core money-making part of the business and then sell/breakup/flip the business in a couple of years. The portfolio stats are totally different from VC.

You’re assuming your behavior is the norm.

You are aware that’s possible. Not everyone is. Employers at a lot of companies just pick a default and employees forget about it.

It’s not reasonable to expect the masses to babysit ephemeral inventions that they aren’t ever aware of.

Ok, man. Yep we should all just stick in our heads this is of course proper application of agency defined “for us”. Paulo Freire is rolling over in his grave.

Airplane programs at Boeing are siloed. They build up a little company to run the program and then retire bits of it once production is looming. There's no guarantee that any sanity found on one program will translate to another. Or insanity.

This is why I said in another response that if Everett loses the 787 but gains 777 orders it may be bad news for the people on the 787 line but neutral news for the state.

I mentioned cynicism elsewhere. You may be right, but I always thought of it more as a Captain Ahab maneuver, where the unions are Moby Dick.

(As a child I did not know that the speech at the end of Wrath of Khan was from Moby Dick. That scene is much darker once you understand that a scholar has chosen these as his final words, knowing damned well how it ends. He will make the gesture anyway, even if the 'whale' survives.)

> The "vast majority of developers" should not be implementing login systems, period.

Yep, agree. This also supports the idea that you shouldn't get too hung up on which to use, because hopefully that decision was made for you and one of these was selected.

> They do not, categorically, provide "functionally equivalent security"

Eh, disagree, if your database is breached and your digests are salted, any of these is fine. Of course there are technical differences because these are literally different algorithms, the actual difference in security provided by each is one of degree, not category. Unhashed vs hashed, and SHA2 vs bcrypt are what I'd call differences of category.

Eventually you start getting a bunch of spam. I feel most of mine originated from GitHub and data-leaks.

Tip: configure a catch-all to your email address, and use custom email addresses for every website. I love having e.g. news.ycombinator.com@gilani.me and being able to filter out bad email addresses whenever they become tiresome.

I've also configured Mailgun on the domain (not what it was intended for but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) so whenever I need to send an outgoing email from one of my custom addresses, I use their SMTP credentials.

At this point, I've been me@ amin@ heyamin@ and even notamin@gilani.me.
You're making (at least) 2 critical mistakes:

* You're assuming the economy is crumbling because of social restrictions and lockdowns. It isn't. We could lift all restrictions today, and things would not return back to normal until PEOPLE STOP GETTING INFECTED AND DYING IN THIS STILL-VERY-MUCH-A-PANDEMIC.
