> If your standard of harm is "harming other people or their property," I'm sure we can find examples of speech, religion, and other freedoms which have led to these harms.

As I said, you seem to have a very loose concept of causality. To me, led to is very different from caused. That difference comes down to choice. Speech may influence someone to act in a certain manner, but it doesn't cause them to act that way—they have to choose to act, and in doing so take full responsibility for the consequences. Their choice serves as a break in the chain of liability; the speaker is not responsible (punishable) for what others may choose to do after hearing them speak. Even if the speaker is directly calling for specific actions, the responsibility lies entirely with those who make the choice to act on that speech. The harm is not in the speech, but rather in the action.

We have these freedoms because they do not and cannot cause harm, in and of themselves, which in turn implies that harm (again, bodily injury or loss/destruction of property—any sort of legally-mandated punishment) is not a proportional response no matter how much one may dislike the speech or beliefs, respectively, or how concerned one might be for the influence they may eventually have on other people's choices.
The only person who doesn’t know what they are talking about is you in this comment.

You know nothing about me.

Until you started making personal attacks, this was simply disagreement and many interesting points were made, which is fine. Perhaps most people agree with your perspective.

You with this comment, on the other hand are literally offering nothing except ignorance to this conversation. No valuable analysis, and only incorrect facts.

I wonder why you feel the need to do this?

What would make you decide that this was helpful? Do you think you are protecting someone?
I got a simple CAT-model that runs KaiOS.

It sort of supports Maps, but is inconvenient enough to kill the temptation to use it for everything.

As an added bonus, it's water proof, doesn't crack when dropped and the battery lasts a week.
I've started a UI for magic wormhole:

It's GPL, cross-platform, native (Qt) and uses the same Python library as the Magic Wormhole CLI.
Covid-19: Second wave now hitting the UK, says Boris Johnson
The article starts by saying:

"Most GPU drivers found in Arm processors are known to be closed-source making it difficult and time-consuming to fix some of the bugs since everybody needs to rely on the silicon vendor to fix those for them, and they may even decide a particular bug is not important to them, so you’d be out of luck."

Why is it then that nvidia is singled out for hatred in this regard? nvidia is an evil, baby-killing company for not open sourcing its drivers, but all the others with closed drivers (including ARM up until today) don't get hated on.

The drivers are not open source, but nvidia has released quite a few open source projects. I admit I haven't used any of them, maybe they are shit, I don't know. I just googled "nvidia open source" to find them.

So you're saying that if I have to go offline for a while during my work time I should put in my calendar?
It’s not just “easier for a human” but more stable over time as commands evolve, and less likely to do weird things across Unix variants.

Some command-line parsers will auto-complete partial options so you’re less likely to see ambiguity errors in future versions if you picked long-form options. (This isn’t completely foolproof, e.g. a command could have "--foo" and later add "--foobar" but it does help in most cases.)

And unfortunately, some tools with the same name will use the same letter to mean different things across Unix variants. You are asking for trouble if you aren’t being clear about what you want.
Yes, `wormhole-william` works as a single binary with no dependencies on Windows.

TikTok kids are mean to Trump.
Does it though? Numbers I look at don’t seem to support that.

I find these “as a profession” enactments more to be self-congratulory rituals than anything else. It is like trying to clear your disk storage space through deleting thousands of 1kb files while gigabytes of old movies are staying there hogging the most space.

Besides, I don’t understand why people has to be reduced to their professions. We are also citizens and voters, and the lion’s share of the change can only be done through policy.

The saying goes penny wise, pound foolish. Sometimes it is indeed foolish to focus on micro and miss the greater perspective.
Yes I thought of that too, but the parent to my question stated that Tiller is already replacing TikTok. Clearly this demographic doesn't have brand loyalty. It's not difficult/costly for them to jump ship from an existing platform to another one. By the time preteens have access to Money TikTok, Tiller and their followers will be replaced at least twice over.

I think it would help get rid of the most toxic stuff. Most of the conspiracy theories that are actually harmful for society are definitely crossing libel lines. Compare for example Roswell conspiracies against QAnon.

One is the goverement is hiding aliens in area 51, definitely not libel, not conductive to outrage, not dehumanizing political opponents, it does not actively harm national unity.

QAnon on the other hand claims Democrat figureheads are eating babies in satanic orgies, definitely libel, greatly harmful to national unity.

I furthermore think that just the liability would be great enough to completely change the face of this platforms, they would be on the defensive things that are not libel would definitely be censored.
Verification is Declaration of Conformity (DOC)? You can either get a Declaration of Conformity from the lab or just sign it yourself. But in the chance you get audited and it doesn't function how you said it would then you'd get in trouble
Just turning the object on zx or zy axis (for freecad or bricscad - same issue - probably some bad ux copied from autocad). Rotation, as simple as that, center axis or any selected point. Lightwave modeler with its 4 views was understandable (always rotating on xy axis for current view) but freecad (and bricscad) is making me problems understanding how this actually functions in same manner as initial orientation of set object, i just cant figure out the logic.

(Doing 3d printed speaker stand for 3d and I am workarounding this "issue" in sweat and tears ;) )
As a society, at least in the United States, we've decided that the free flow of ideas is more important than creating censor or ban lists for ideas. It goes hand in hand, in particular, with freedom of religion, a core tenant of the United States.

This list has a vanishingly small list of exceptions.

Your comment seems to present anecdotal evidence as facts about $framework's popularity. I think that's misleading.

I'm wondering if there's a scraper out there crawling Alexa TOP 1xxx pages for use of specific libraries, frameworks? Maybe that would present a more accurate picture about this.

Also it's often misleading since in any company with more than a few employees there seems to be more than one team of developers which often leads to different frameworks being used in different parts of the company. In $dayJob we use Angular in some legacy internal stuff, React in a rewritten consumer-facing project and preact or jQuery in a different consumer-facing project.

It's not that simple to determine marketshare of frameworks I think. We can just present different numbers and draw different conclusions from it, e.g. number of job postings mentioning specific frameworks, number of downloads in a registry, number of domains using it (assuming one app per domain), number of stars on github or number of people claiming to use it in the stackoverflow survey.

Using C alongside static analysis like Frama-C is also quite safe, one could say.
I didn't consider those second order effects. When I wrote my comment, I had in mind only the dollar cost of averting the disaster. When we spend whatever trillions of dollars shutting the economy down and limiting output, we necessarily take from other priorities, like strengthening emissions controls, or making cars safer, or re-wilding spaces, or spending money on providing people with affordable preventative medicine that could extend the duration of life.

Apple forcing Epic to agree to a completely one sided TOS forced Epic to fight back.
So when I click a tile you have some code on the onclick handler to go update the counter at the top? Sounds messy if there are multiple things you need to update when some data changes.
I have had my office phone on Do Not Disturb for 5 years and my cell phone has all notifications turned off and the ringer is set to off. The only time i turn it on is if I am expecting a call - which is hardly ever. Same with my PC - no notifications...it helps a great deal to keep the tool a tool instead of letting it become your master.

Ultimately the problem of "how do I email a large file" isn't a technical issue, it is a political issue. It's like famine in the modern world.

Once you have built a secure and easy to use way to transfer large files to multiple people you have built a piracy enabling tool and you're eventually going to be sued by various media cartels for trillions of dollars and your tool will be blocked by network operators who also don't want to be sued.
Indeed, writing for the poor sod who's going to maintain your code years after you moved on is much more difficult than writing code for the machine. After all, the compiler and test programs will tell you whether your code is (sufficiently) correct, but there's no feedback from the aforementioned maintainer of your code. If you can write code which compiles and passes the test suite first try, then kudos to you. Most of us can't and need the occasional hint from the compiler and edit our code 'til it passes. Unfortunately, there's no automated check whether the variable, class or function names are sensible and whether the comments match the code ...
I spent a good chunk of the last few years in physical therapy. Before sessions in the waiting room, and during the period of the session where they're applying heat/cooling or electricity I got a lot of reading done.

I had a rule, broken recently and I need to restore it, of no electronics in my sitting room. Made it a very productive reading area as well. No laptop, tablet, kindle [0], or phone. At most I listened to music in it. Part of the problem was I started reading some programming books and wanted to code up things along with the text (like working through math exercises while reading a math book). I need to start handwriting the code and type it up at the desk later.

[0] It's a Kindle Fire in my case. Which offers some of the same distractions, despite being lower power, as a tablet or phone. I did use it in there when I was actually reading on it sometimes. But it's a risk.
I was surprised to see an update to a contemporary JavaScript framework to be welcomed rather than boo’d by the average HN reader. That in itself is an accomplishment.
You can ventilate or have light in manual downtime. You don't have immediate access to any advanced stuff. And that's for very specific catastrophic situations. In grey zones where things half work and emergency protocols have not been activated, the hospital is almost completely stalled.
It's not just safety though. It's just...all of it. I legit don't enjoy writing C. Rust is fun to write 90% of the time.
Why can't we make the same light using LEDs?
You, directly above: We know that Podesta was a victim of spear phishing.

Yeah, I'm confused. This is all beside the point. It is lawful to publish true information about candidates that is of interest to the public.

The point being that the rules are arguably illegal.

So it does not make sense to phrase this conversation as "They broke the rules!", because that is implying that they did something "wrong".

> if the contract is so obviously illegal, why did you (or Epic) agree to it?

Because Apple has significant market power, as defined by US anti-trust law, and is using that market power in an illegal manner?

Thats the point. Apple is illegally using its market power, to push these contracts.
The fact that you need a 3rd party service to send a file between two computers is a failure of the Internet as a whole.

What a load of baloney analogy and argument. No one "lends" Money when they deposit their cash in the wallets. Wallets are just that, wallets.
You simply don't understand cashback. Its not "interest". Its residual fees earned from selling your data to aggregators where in huge quantities it makes sense to quantify the rewards in percentage points. Besides, don't credit card companies charge transaction fees? So if they give you say 10% of your fees back as cashback, is that interest?

Does the Arabic word "riba" mean interest or excessive interest? Interest being 1-10% example and excessive one being upwards of 36%?

One question that no one is able to answer me, how does doing business, investing time and skill earn you "profit" while spending that same time and skill in investing your money and getting rewards is called "interest" and that gets shot down?

For someone who has spend some time trying to wrap my head around the Islamic banking concept, all I have come to understand is that this is just a feel good scheme to bring Muslims into the conventional banking fold by any means necessary.
"muh GPS" is definitely the most common argument people give me. Garmin still makes car GPS units. I have one and it works well.

To be fair, I was able to refrain from mindless scrolling all the time. But with the phone nearby, I always wanted to mindlessly scroll during every random quiet moment.

I liken it to an alcoholic keeping an ice cold beer on his desk all day, but doing his best not to take a sip. Why subject yourself?

I experimented without a smartphone and I am happier as a result. This will probably not be the case for everyone. But, if you ever feel like a slave to your own technology, I highly recommend trying it out.

WHO disagrees with you:

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...

>Non-medical, fabric masks are being used by many people in public areas, but there has been limited evidence on their effectiveness and WHO does not recommend their widespread use among the public for control of COVID-19.

Further reading:

https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/advice-on-the-use-of...

>Many countries have recommended the use of fabric masks/face coverings for the general public. At the present time, the widespread use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is not yet supported by high quality or direct scientific evidence and there are potential benefits and harms to consider

>Results from cluster randomized controlled trials on the use of masks among young adults living in university residences in the United States of America indicate that face masks may reduce the rate of influenza-like illness, but showed no impact on risk of laboratory-confirmed influenza.(62, 63) At present, there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID- 19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.

The whole PDF is worth a read, especially the "Guidance on the use of masks for the general public", and is the most recent guidance from WHO about mask use.
> I gave an existence proof of the possibility that your claim of herd immunity isn't the only possible explanation.

My what? What else did you read into my text which I didn't write?
I feel like someone else is running legal these days, because from the period of 2012-2017ish Apple never got involved in these petty spats. Then Spotify, Facebook, Google, Epic came along and now Apple is always complaining to the press about whatever troubles them…

Dysfunctional Programming in JavaScript
And it could also save time. The Z-80 conditional return takes 5 cycles (or "T-States" in Zilog terminology) to execute if the condition is not met and 11 cycles otherwise. Quite worthwhile in testing for uncommon cases. Consider this routine to print a message that is terminated by nul or newline:

PMESS LD A,(HL) ; get character from message
INC HL ; move message pointer to next character
CP 10 ; newline?
RET Z ; return if so
OR A ; zero?
RET Z ; done if so
CALL PCHAR ; print character
JP PMESS ; keep looping

If instead of "RET Z" we had to do a conditional jump to a return it would be 10 cycles for each test instead of 5.

CP 10
JP Z,DONE ; 10 cycles, jump taken or not
...
JP PMESS
DONE: RET ; 10 cycles, BTW

The conditional return just happens to be cheaper if not taken because it skips the work of popping the return address off the stack. Though purely an outcome of the implementation you can treat it as sort of a branch prediction.

Incidentally, the Z-80 also has relative branches (JR) that differ in execution time whether they are taken or not. The branch offset is a single byte so JR is only 2 bytes compared to JP's 3. A JR is 7 cycles if not taken, 12 otherwise. Again, we can treat it as a hard-coded branch prediction that predicts the branch is not taken. If space or distance to target is not a problem, a JR is faster if taken less than 60% of the time.

QUOTES

"The key thing about being a freelancer is that... you are in charge of your destiny. You're not waiting for someone to say, please do this...But with that comes huge autonomy because you can work where you like, when you like." [00:06:57]

"You've got to be self-motivated. You've got to just get out of bed and want to get on with it. If you're waiting for someone to tell you what to do you need to think about how do you change that. Because either it's really not suited to you or what you're looking at doing is just not motivating you. You know, you've got to you've got to have fire in the belly for go to want to do it."

What about spotify users? Isnt that the most important cohort here?

I want to use a platform that gives me the choice - and doesnt make the choice for me.
General election interference, manipulating public perception by constantly suggesting pro-CCP propaganda, aggravating the general public to turn on each other, tracking vocal anti-CCP individuals and potentially targeting them while traveling abroad. That's a few off the top of my head.
that's true and I am very excited for ranges. sadly I am still waiting for c++17 to be switched on in my build system :/

still there's lots of other stuff that's more verbose in c++ than rust, often because it was bolted on much later. think about getting individual elements out of a tuple.

in c++: `std::get<0>(tuple)` for each desired element or `std::tie(elt0, std::ignore, elt2) = tuple;`

in rust: `tuple.0`, not sure if there's an equivalent to the std::ignore/std::tie combo
Do you think the vast majority of users will tolerate the internet being broken until websites catch on, or will they just disable the extension and write bad reviews that Amazon stopped working?
Propoganda, election interference, tracking of people in the US for unknown purposes.

But I think it's primarily just deserved reciprocity to how the CCP is behaving in general. The US and the west have bent over backward for like 30 years and all we got was just more totalitarianism, hacking, IP theft, etc. Why play?
Logically and epistemically sound thinking is what the world needs more of, not less.

I presume you're not a big fan of conspiracy theories - well, a big part of where they come from is the media doing something similar to what you're complaining about, stating what might be true, as unequivocally true. It would also be interesting to know how much of the polarization in society can be attributed to the fantasy world the media projects into people's minds using these techniques.
Why can't React do the same?
