Hitler's orders had an extremely clear and well-traced direct effect on the physical world, borne out in the tragedies you mention. He could therefore be tried for war crimes. His actions were not free speech, they were military orders. This is not an argument against freedom of speech.

The first thing any dictator does is begin to curtail the rights of their citizenry. The first right to go is the right to free speech.
> Well, it already is encoded in law. Most countries prohibit hate speech and/or inciting violence, while most people consider that free speech is protected in those places.

Depends. Germany for example takes a similar route as Reddit does. If you're Turkish, you're allowed to say "Germans are a dog race" when the German parliament recognize the fact that Turkey committed genocide against the Armenians (hey, fun fact, they're re-activating their ISIS-buddies to try again right now).

If a German said "Turks are a dog race", they'd be prosecuted.

Hate speech isn't outlawed, it's majority hate speech that's outlawed.
or maybe it helps strike a work life balance.
Vietnam was originally a US funded French effort to retake its former colony, Iraq & Afghanistan rebalanced Middle Eastern power to secure an unthreatened flow of oil to Europe and Asia (even in the early 2000s, it was the EU almost wholly dependent on ME oil, not the US).

And then obviously as a result of acting as a third party security guarantor deterring internal conflict, the EU exists.
Shootings that the contemporary liberal media highlight. We can't recall mass violence that target Asian, Romani, or global south communities because our media doesn't think it's notable enough.

Easily explained by survivorship bias. They only see the people who need to be on it for the rest of their lives.

There are people who will need to be on medication their entire lives. I'm probably one of them. My psychosis and primary insomnia hasn't been treatable with anything else.

Over here it copies the current path or the path to the currently selected file, which is frustrating. My hammerspoon script that tries to do cmd+l has now grown to 5 hotkeys, one of which is executed only conditionally.

It's not good that articles about GPL still can't get the terms right. It's important to understand your position as a developer.

Users of your code are only obliged to "Release all modifications" to you if they're distributing the code or binary with you.

This might seem like seem like nit-picking, but I can take your GPL project, work on it and sell it to a dozen companies, and you have no right to my modifications. The companies I've sold to could give you a copy if they wanted. But your rights aren't omnipresent.

They also don't stop me using your code in otherwise proprietary SaaS, again contributing nothing back upstream. AGPL targets this.

GPL is good. It's good for users in a way that few appreciate. More software should be GPL... But there are complexities, far more than I've covered above, that many releasing developers struggle to anticipate.

Cineworld was in the process of acquiring Cineplex, the largest theatre chain in Canada, when the pandemic happened. They want to walk away from the contract and Cineplex in suing them. IIRC, the contract specifically says pandemics are not a valid reason for termination, so this should be interesting to watch.

Why do you guys always call t_d a hate sub? It was a Trump fan sub. Dedicated to positive content about Trump. It was the complete opposite of hateful, of course. Now, take the far left sub “/r/politics” which actively promotes hatred against half of the United States. Threats of violence against law enforcement abound there. Calls for actual bloodshed and violent “revolution” constantly.

Subreddits are private or public communities that all have their own rules for what can be posted. Reddit itself is a publisher. Legally speaking, they curate a collection of subreddits and publish them. Reddit (and other pro-communist and anti-American publishers like Twitter) will likely face massive legal action from the DOJ if Americans vote to give Trump a second term. I for one can’t wait to see these commies bite the dust in federal court!

Yes raw sockets and yes it required root privileges. It’s not ideal but this is why this was a good exercise in good C practices. In my case the program was very straightforward so not a lot of attack surface to begin with. But yes overall pretty dangerous stuff.

Tech: There was some website where you could build your own portal, and so I did, with a bunch of JavaScript effects added because it was trendy. Remember that circling text around your cursor? Yeah. I would search for such scripts day and night. It became more serious when I started modding ioquake3 forks in C. My first programming language.

Linux: mIRC on Windows, then the cool adults on the network used Linux so I had to... My first Linux distribution was Gentoo. I met some random guy on this network who SSH'd into my machine, installed it for me, and taught me the basics. After that it was FreeBSD, and after that it was OpenSolaris, and after that...

I must have been around 12 or 13. I skipped school to pursue my interests in IT and philosophy.

Section 97.113(a)(4) of the Amateur Service rules prohibits the transmission of “effectively encrypted or encoded messages, including messages that cannot be readily decoded over-the-air for true meaning.”

What _exactly_ that means is, of course, up for debate. Some say you can use encryption as long as the key is publicly available and obvious (i.e. my key is "password"). There's been a bunch of stuff happening in the last year around Winlink. Devil's in the details.
There has to be more to the story here. With the law starting in 2006, why are authorities just now going after these bars? Did something specific start this, or is it just the growing authoritarianism that comes with these endlessly long national emergencies?

Just because the ECJ deems something illegal, it doesn't mean that local legislation is updated. It sounds a bit like that 2006 law has not been challenged in courts.
The blanket requirement in the directive was deemed unlawful, however it does not invalidates data retention legislation in member states.
I’ve seen a few repurposed as comedy clubs. Ironically brings them closer to their original role as proper theatres.

You don’t get the all-day money making you do with a cinema (though plenty of daytime screenings are very empty) but you can serve booze and proper food, so there’s a middle ground of profit to be had, I suppose.
If a library has a vulnerability, the distro often updates it and then every package that uses it has been patched. With these sandboxes things that include their own versions of dependencies, each one of them needs to be updated.

Well there is /r/BlackPeopleTwitter, which generally has a lot of vitriol aimed at white people which goes wholly unchecked.

It is also the home of "country club threads", wherein you're banned from commenting unless you are a PoC or have proved yourself to be a "white ally" (initially I think it was only PoC and none of the white ally stuff, but they let them in later in response to continued backlash – also because I think many of the mods aren't actual PoC so looked even more ridiculous than it was already).
History of Google Developer Group – Chennai
As an American also living in Europe, I think this is a highly naive view. American media pushes American values, and American values are hardly equivalent to technological development itself.

Instead, I’d say we’re at the very beginning of a massive global backlash against American values propagated by technology. Expect it to continually ramp up as media-creation technology spreads. China is just the beginning.
Key difference being that there’s actually some mechanism for private enterprises to fail and go out of business.

I think one answer is tax cuts for charity.

If I can give my tax money to someone of my choosing, I think it may incentivise people to feel better about where the money is going.

To be clear, not making your tax payments less, but rather choosing where it goes. Of course, if you have a network of nonprofits, this become a bit grey. In the USA I have gotten the impression that people do try to game the idea of nonprofits.
I'm living in France, and "just" sharing the WIFI password is a very common practice in bars, coffee-shops, etc..

I only know of few places that actually use a compliant captive portal that requires some PII (name, email, phone...) to let you use the free WIFI.

My problem with these kind of laws is that they get ignored most of the time and then allow for selective enforcement when the police/local-gov has issues with you.
Long-term debt would indeed be a problem. I would think it'd be unlikely they could go back to the markets & put up additional shares for sale, since investors would want some assurance that patrons will return to theaters once the pandemic restrictions have been eased. [0]

Whether they can pay their operational debt (rent, utilities & property taxes mostly, since they won't be paying employees or suppliers) would depend on their cash balance. Eight months into this, and their cash has got to be running pretty low.

[0] I for one will not. I wasn't happy with the megaplex movie-going experience anyway, and there isn't an Alamo Drafthouse in Charlotte.
As of late, I explain ethics to myself as:

"A system that governs the behavior of a conscious agent that experiences the qualia of pain, within the same causal domain as other such agents, to arrive at the optimal dynamic equilibrium between minimizing individual pain and average group pain."

The decimal float type would handle that, with a schema to specify fractional precision.
Libel laws have historically had an extremely high burden of proof. The right wing is usually the first to try to expand these laws (as with Trump, maybe Peter Thiel/Gawker). Libel is also a civil offence if it is one, which again, is extremely hard to prove.

Telling someone to commit murder for you is an example of speech directly inciting violent action, so no, that would be a criminal act.

It's iffy whether telling someone they should commit suicide is free speech or not. Given that suicide is illegal in most societies, it would probably be illegal in the same way directly inciting violent action is, though the subtleties of the case matter.

No, lying under oath is a violation of a contract. That is outside the realm of free speech because you willingly and knowingly restrict your freedom of speech to testify under oath.

Psychologically abusing your children — again, a very fine line, with a very high burden of proof. Psychological abuse is almost never punishable unless it crosses over into the physical world, which can also include things like curtailing access to proper nutrition, etc. But at that point, it's not a matter of free speech, but of child neglect.

I didn't think you were talking about anything specific. Sorry if it came out this way.

My point is that any "Europeans view on immigration from Islamic countries" will clash with the views from other europeans.

Europeans are not single-minded about those issues. Views are probably way more varied than the US. Even an European-ran Reddit would ran into the same issues.
Yup. Lafayette has a population of 120k. Leeuwarden, The Netherlands has 124k and it's only 5km from edge to edge, and that's a very normal figure here.

The higher the density, the cheaper the infrastructure per person. It's not that difficult once you stop forcing everyone to drive.

Hi HN. I've been working in this for the last few months.
As someone who has a non-traditional background/resume but has a lot of code on GitHub that can really demonstrate my skills.

I wanted something that make it easier to take what's in my GitHub and display it for potential employers.

There's a few services that already do this but they 1) didn't let me show code snippets from private repos and 2) just didn't look very good. I made this to solve those problem for myself and for others. Would love to hear any feedback from HN.
Boys lag behind: How teachers’ gender biases affect student achievement
Yep, an interesting idea, and definitely something worth thinking about and discussing.

The problem is that people like the GC pretend that this is some sort of Universal Law which has been proved to be true, and therefore use it as a carte blanche to "weed out intolerance".

Unfortunately it is not a such. It's just an idea, unproven and untested.

Though it's also worth noting that I highly doubt Karl Popper would've agreed (based on his various clarifications) with almost any situation where it has been used to justify silencing "the intolerant" on the internet in the last decade.
Most laws are ignored most of the time and selective enforcement is essentially the corner stone of modern policing, there are many more laws that can be effectively enforced and which laws exactly are at any given time is based on available resources and public policy.

It being not waterproof/waterresistant (unless painted) doesn't seem to make it a good glass replacement for windows, though.

Possibly as an inner pane(s) of sealed multi-pane windows (with traditional glass on the outside) as - also - since it can be cut with ordinary rotary tools, it probably is not scratch resistant.

Facebook's real name policy has been determined bogus in Germany (EU).
I disagree. Just because a common data format doesn’t support those types doesn’t mean other formats have to do the same mistake (and given that JSON lacks comments and an official formal spec, its design is questionable to begin with). If interoperability is needed with JSON or other formats not supporting date or uuid, such data type can be serialized as strings.
Anecdotally the symptoms can already be present - but manageable - then severe trauma(s) trigger an extreme worsening of the cycle between the highs and the lows.

Getting back to a "manageable" state would be ideal however future (and even perhaps far more minor) trauma may prove to be a significant barrier and potentially trigger relapses resulting in quite a vicious cycle.

Certainly a very complex thing to explain to people and carries a lot of stigma.

Tear my business apart – don't hold back
Was with a friend of mine who runs MarketingExamples.com (Harry Dry) last week in a cabin outside London. A break from the cycle of life. HN and IH came up as places full of people with great ideas.

This is probably business #8. And I want you to tear it apart.

TheClassicValuer.com is a collation over a £1,000,000,000 sold classic cars. It's how you know the value of any classic in the world and the price trend.

Very nice, thanks. So Greenland's area is about 2 million km^2 and the area of all oceans is about 360 million km^2, so the average thickness of the ice on Greenland is roughly 24 feet * 360/2 = 1.3 kilometers. That's an unimaginably huge amount of ice! Apparently the thickest point is 3 km! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_ice_sheet

I'm still on the fence with NUL to be honest... I may remove it, but for now I want to garner discussion.

I'm not sure how disallowing a reference for a map key would cause repetition and space wasting. Keys are generally small, so a reference would in many cases end up taking a similar amount of space. Can you talk more about allowing references as keys? I need different points of view NOW, before I finalize v1 of the format! The negative is that it complicates processing, since you could reference a non-keyable value and attempt to use it in a key.

Everybody PLEASE chime in with your thoughts on the format, because I want to make sure I get it as close to right as I can before I finalize V1!
How to get rid of my CTO?
A friend of mine and I have been working on this project for a while now (3+ months), he built the roots of the product but he now can't work on it anymore because he has a job at a big bank.
He offered to reevaluate the share of the projects to 90/10 instead of 50/50, basically giving away 40% of his shares to me.

The situation is that our product is only at the prototype stage and we still haven't found any accelerator/investment and are still some time ahead of being able to.
I'd like to retain the full 100% of the project and avoid leaving him with 10 he asked, this is because I don't think it makes sense for me to go to an investor and tell him that 10% is already gone to some guy who doesn't even contribute anymore. I also want to maximise my chances of finding people interested in working with me on the thing.
So I'm basically trying to buy him out, but the offer he made me (3000£) is way above what I think a half finished product with high statistical risk of failure is actually worth it.

Any ideas? Anyone experienced something similar?

The sad thing is that Cineworld (in the UK anyway) pretty much forced the consolidation of the market by rapidly expanding in the 90's and 00's followed by selling tickets at a loss. This resulted in lots of cinemas going bust after which they increased prices.

So now many towns and cities will have no nearby cinema.
>"Most laws are ignored most of the time and selective

In this case it is not a law, not in spirit. Rather a tool for "law" enforcement to nail inconvenient people.
