> speech can definitely lead to violence - and speech can also counteract it

I don't disagree with you on that. We can say "A can lead to B" and "A can counteract B".

I'm lost at the leap to "A is B" and "NOT(A) by COLOR = B".

I could speak or not speak, and even do so out of negligence or spite. My choices may have effects and consequences, but violence does not mean "anything with effects and consequences".

It feels too much like the missing piece is "this is what we say the word means now, QED". It's all too convenient that a conversation can be shut down by calling it violence. Implicating people is divisive. By it's own logic, redefining violence to include speech is itself a form of violent speech because it causes conflict.
Without arguing the merits of distributor liability or supply chain liability.

Why should Amazon not bear the same responsibility as a mostly physical retailer (eg Walmart - who currently is liable for products it sells - assuming a retail store transaction)?

This ruling follows the same logic as sales tax. In 2020 there is no reason to argue an online transaction should receive special treatment from an in-person transaction considering a sale of the same product to the same consumer.

Sure, but I don't particularly trust the gov't to enforce those standards. FWIW I think an idiot is much more likely to do something stupid with a handgun than with a twenty pound belt-fed.

I see nothing principally wrong with what the couple in St. Louis did (i.e. defending one's property), though the wife was an absolute dumbass to point her handgun at the crowd. Anyone competent knows not to do that without serious intent to fire.

I understand your position: moron with automatic is possibly more dangerous than moron with semi-auto. But I think there are risks and downsides to living in a free society, and that's one.

That's what I always like about software development. It was simple, it was accessible... but now, you need a lawyer for each individual jurisdiction.

Re-read the comment.
I think this is good news.

When corporations are too big, this cause the same kind of bloat, corruptions and anti-innovative climate as when states are controlled by too powerful bureaucracies.

There is a threshold, of course, but unfortunately we've allowed a few companies to go well past this deleterious threshold.
I've seen plenty of cleaning-averse husbands hire a maid to solve chore-related relationship problems. Hell, the maid does a better job, so everyone is happier. This is not really an option for a mismatched libido, so the situation is trickier. Especially as libidos can change differently with age, a couple can't entirely know what they are getting into.

Put another way, both withholding sex and insisting on monogamy simultaneously is a shitty thing to do IMO, so I sort of agree with you. But it is also tough for me to judge someone too much for doing so in a culture where anything but strict monogamy is taboo.

For a concrete example, let's say a woman feels nauseous from the smell of cooking while she is pregnant. I do not think it is the duty of that woman to soldier through it and continue to cook. But in this situation the partner can obtain food from anywhere else that is willing to serve. If the partner instead was only able to eat food that one of them had cooked, it would be tougher on the relationship for the woman to not cook at all for 9 months straight.

So yeah compromise and sacrifice are part of a relationship, and I don't think sex should be excluded from that. But at the same time it is unrealistic to reach a good solution with mismatched libidos, because even a perfect compromise can leave both parties dissatisfied/uncomfortable. Is the solution to just end the relationship? If it is otherwise a good one I don't think so, but strict monogamy makes this a harder call.

More generally I think people are looking for too much in a single package. To find someone that would be compatible with you over nearly your entire lifetime as a housemate, a co-parent, a friend, a financial partner, etc. all rolled into one is hard enough. When you start prioritizing sexual compatibility in this choice, good luck not having to compromise on other features. But if sex wasn't seen as exclusive it wouldn't need to be considered to the same extent in choosing a life partner.
Fitting batteries becomes the main challenge, but battery placement is more flexible than fitting an LS, transmission, fuel, intake, exhaust, etc

The difference is that a fuel tank makes a far smaller and lighter (even when filled) part of a vehicle than the batteries in an EV, if you want any decent range.

Don't they have a self-updating mechanism independent from the store? I implemented that on all my apps to make them resistant to Google's rage bans.

I think a civil war over the murder of a few people is not yet warranted. We've still gpt the ballot and jury boxes before we get there. And it is worth noting that not all protests have been peaceful, though it only takes a few bad actors to classify one as violent. I do think that a heavily-armed populace could reduce the rates of police brutality.
Is this article already available in German?
No, the statement is nonsensical abusive rhetoric. Silence is literally not violence. It substitutes an argument that stands on its merits with a rather shameful and racist manipulation technique that is unfortunately quite effective, as evidenced by your apparent guilt. You obviously did nothing wrong. When racism flourishes is when we allow phrases like that to enter the discourse.
The precedent for 9 did change. Republicans changed it to 8 justices in 2016, and then back to 9 again in 2017 because it suited them politically. I don't see why Democrats should be shy about changing the number of justices this point.
And you still fail to see how all of this make this much more easier to apply for Facebook than any startup?

> If you’ve a hundred users in one country it’s worth your while having an instance just for them.

What? No. We are on the web, you forgot that what made Facebook a billion dollar industry was that they could get pennies out of billions of users every month?

If you can get hundred of paying users, sure, but then to me that has nothing to do with the web, that's simply selling a product. The web is more than selling, it's about allowing access, which sadly, is more than selling.
I close them often, middle-click on the header or Ctrl+W. I also miss opera's hotkey to close all tabs except the active one.

Ask HN: Are business analysts becoming redundant?
In the enterprise waterfall era, it seemed clear (in textbooks anyway): business analysts would talk to non-technical end-users and determine what a system needed to do: they might produce data flow diagrams and database schemas, perhaps with some UML thrown into the mix if they were "savvy". They might work with designers to develop a UI template that was handed over to developers, who were little more than code monkeys.

It never worked exactly like this, but that was regarded as the ideal workflow.

With the rise of more collaborative development approaches ("agile") developers tend to be better at eliciting requirements, with designers filling the UX gaps (although designers aren't experts at that, and sometimes produce half-baked requirements and designs that are far from developer-ready, requiring hours of tweaking). End-users are also quite used to technology, and the gap between users and developers has shrunk.

Is the traditional BA doomed to extinction? What will the role look like in a decade?
seeing what others are trading isnt an edge. this is simply market volume
I'd wager you're getting voted down for "conservatives generally mainted decorum" in the decade after the Clinton impeachment, which included wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Fox News's rise to prominence, the Drudge Report setting the 24/7 alarmist tone that still domiantes online political content, McConnell growing into his now trademark do-nothing leadership, Ann Coulter moving from print to TV and showing everyone else that going weirder and crueler wins now. Hell, Orrin Hatch was literally censured _by Senate Republicans_ in the 2000s for how quickly he dropped his frenemy decorum with Democrats, especially Ted Kennedy.

The 2000s were absolutely not a decade of decorum, for conservatives or anyone in politics. The 2004 election was a massive turning point toward where we are today, and the 2008 election meltdown culminated the Republican party turning itself inside out in ways Gingrich really did directly catalyze a decade and a half prior.

We wound up with the Tea Party at the end of the 2000s and American political discourse went from an already slippery slope to a freefall.
This is the kind of headline you look back five years later and realize it marked the market top.
There is still the international market. The US wields a lot of power by its influence over big tech. The US does not have nearly as much ability to ban Chinese apps from the international market as it does domestically.
Actually, if how Facebook is installed on Chinese iPhones holds the same, they just need to switch their phones over to the Chinese App Store by setting their region, install WeChat, and then set their region back to the USA. Apps from the Chinese and American app stores can easily co-exist, and worked well for me while I was living in China.
Ironically, you could argue that WeChat is one of the most innovative tech platforms in the last half decade despite CCP ties.

Australians have always pushed back on fighting climate change. A huge part of our economy is based around mining and exporting coal and gas. We really don't have significant manafacturing or knowledge based industries to fall back on.

So while there is less overt denialism around climate change, there is a still a lot of cognitive dissonance. People make excuses about having to do more than our "fair share" or say that mining is necessary for the jobs.
1,000% This.

The internet during that era cultivated some incredible heuristics for navigating the internet.

During the era (at 14/15) I:

- Stuck behind a firewall, I downloaded gigabytes of porn from unsecured FTP servers by Google dorking

- Played hours of bootleg Quake3 and SOFII on my old-faithful cracked Windows XP (still remember the key to this day)

- Reinstalled XP about 1,000x everytime I downloaded something I shouldn't have

- Found hundreds of weird documentaries on The Pirate Bay and Smoking in the Rain from all over the planet

- Spent countless hours talking with a bunch of weirdos on IRC

- Had an HTML-only website called 'Science Experimenter'

- Dual-booted FreeBSD

- Played around on my SDF Unix shell

- Played Doom and Wolf3D downloaded from Vetusware on Dos 7.1/Win 3.1

- Newsgroups. Oh man, remember bootlegging movies from newsgroups.

That early internet was just incredible. From wandering through Fravia's Searchlores, to Geocities (where I first discovered the term 'Computer Engineering'), to the early MP3s you could find of HOPE and Defcon talks), to Andre Lamothe's XGameStation kit, to the Homebuilt CPUs Webring (I fell in love with Magic-1), to the OsDev wiki DexOS, MenuetOS, etc.

Today's internet is so convenient. It's like you said, it's 'curated.' It's not a jungle of lost Mayan civilization you can Indiana Jones through.

Edit: I realize today's internet is even more rich than the one I describe, but the nostalgia is just too strong. I prefer to live in my simple world.
>I would assume also because people also just didn't live as long back then.

This is false. The statistic doesn't imply this. Longevity has not increased significantly, it's that life expectancy from birth has increased because childhood illness became less of a concern. Once at adult age people generally still lived long, ignoring accidents which really wouldn't be a concern for the type of people who would be justices.

> There is a clear distinction between data I share publicly, data I share explicitly with US Facebook users, and data that I share in a limited setting not involving any US users.

You lost me there. You shared it with Facebook users, which are worldwide. Are you from Canada? Well look at you reading my comment I voluntarily pushed over HN, a website accessible worldwide while I'm Canadian. Isn't it absurd that because I'm in Canada I wouldn't expect you to be able to read it? You and everyone else that are on HN? This is not something I send specifically to YOU, this is not something

> Unless caught red handed, we generally trust companies to comply, but sometimes verify.

Isn't it what we complains about here though? We do not expect Facebook US to handle the data correctly. Yet they do expect them to do it in Europe? I can see your point, Europe can't verify what Facebook do in the US. It's a good point, but I would have been less against their idea if that was the solution, requiring them to allow Europe to verify or else they wouldn't let them hold that data.

This is a false analogy.

China doesn't just not "believe" in free speech, it also bans, imprisons, tortures, spies and do other harmful things.

Also states are not people.

Also there are situations when there are reasons to limit free speech (like war).

I’m much more worried about a corrupt state that has the power to take away my freedom, liberty, and life than a corporation. A corrupt company can’t take my property through eminent domain and civil forfeiture or declare some phony “War on $X” that disproportionately is used against one group. The current administration is not going after Big Tech “for the people”. It is doing it expressly because they think Google, Facebook, and Twitter are being unfair to conservatives.
