The VC isn't going to sue the author of an email that didn't name them that called out their bad behavior. That would be news and link them to it. Most VCs at that company would think it wasnt about them because they aren't so badly behaved.
I came to say exactly this. In addition, we can't forget the people who have to work in the city but can't afford to live there, so their lives are made vastly more difficult.

Sometimes the commute is just too stressful, even if you live in the city. My partner's well-being has visibly improved due to going into the office only when necessary.

Maybe WFH should be renamed to something else. It doesn't capture all the subtleties of flexibility and choice we're asking for.
You're wrong by the way. Trump's account exists because Twitter makes money off of him.

> When at a board meeting at USV you stopped the meeting and said “guys we just aren’t focused on the right issues, this company has less than 6 months left.” One of the other board members said “ What are you looking at?” (You later realized you weren’t doing the math correctly).

This would be an immediate red flag in my book. How do you handle this type of issue?
What is the legal definition of extremist? And what is the legal crime they are violating?

Extremism is a loaded word that has no real concrete meaning. Therefore, it can mean whatever the opinion makers want it to mean. And you can justify all sorts of abuse and torture with that sort of propaganda.

This game has been played many times in human history and it never ends well.
I got one of those capture devices and connected a Lumix G7. Plug and play in Linux. Now I'm using OBS with v4l2loopback to have greater control, crop, etc. Nobody cares or notices the nearly half second delay. And nobody notices the bokeh and nice colors either :(

Controversial content (lately that means political) regularly gets flagged and removed. As a recent example the NYT Trump Taxes article went through cycles of being posted, rapidly upvoted, then flagged to algorithmic removal, over and over again. To point where meta-discussion came online (and was flagged) [1]

Personally I think downvoting is the appropriate response to say "this is not interesting or relevant to HN", but many have realized flagging provides outsized influence.

Recently getting on a tirade about how utterly pointless the comment "Linux had this first!" "Android had this first!" "Lisp had this first!" is. It's just as bad when it's "iPhone had this first!".

So what?

> It’s amazing how quick we are to go ooo ahhh when big tech replicates what is already common place in little tech or academia.

Translation: "You're dumb for liking this thing I had years ago". What an empty comment.

I don't have an Android and never heard of SoundHound, and I'm quick to go "ooo ahhh" because last weekend my mom was humming a song she didn't know the name or words of, and next time I talk to her I can tell her to try song humming on OK Google, and her phone now does this by default, and if it works I'm predicting she will tell some of her friends or sisters as well.

perhaps I should make sure to remind her that she shouldn't be impressed if it works, because a thing she would never have paid that much for, didn't care about and never owned, could do it years ago, would that help?

I'm part of an individualist culture which sees things through the lens of individuals, not collective society. Now I care about society and make individual effort to care & contribute towards it, but I wouldn't attempt to view things through a collectivist lens when considering the policy decisions of giant corporations.
Yes I have used Face ID. I actually tried to force myself to like the new phone by "dual-wielding" both my iPhone 8 and a new iPhone XS for a couple weeks. I ended up sticking to my iPhone 8 and keeping the other one as a test device for iOS development.

By illuminating the room I meant illuminating from the light of the screen, not IR. When using it in bed I can keep a Touch ID device under a blanket as to not illuminate the rest of the room, but Face ID performs poorly in that case and I have to take the phone out completely so the light does leak.
Can you explain how twitter is controlling the speech of a newspaper by blocking its article on their platform? Does twitter blocking the article suddenly unpublish it?

This appears to be the main repository for their "VPN" daemon: https://github.com/freepn/fpnd

Some observations:

* It's not actually a virtual private network, at least by the traditional definition. They route HTTP(S) and DNS traffic only; other protocols (presumably) get routed in the clear.

* IPv6 isn't supported at all.

* I might be missing it, but I can't find any cryptographic design documents or a threat model anywhere. A quick repo search doesn't even bring up any cryptographic primitives, which makes me wonder about malicious peers.

It's good to have more competition in this space, so I'd like to be wrong (or eventually wrong, feature-wise) about all of the above. But if I'm right, this is roughly the same as using a SOCKS proxy (and maybe a bit worse, if any other peer can futz with your traffic).

Shit, even if they did, they're not Americans, you want to extradite every non-American who isn't sufficiently pro-America?
Seems amazing to me that this method would be more cost effective or even just plain effective vs scanning and interpreting paper drafts/blueprints.
A few years ago I would commonly grab a box of snack cakes or other dessert / pastry to snack on for the night. I one time pulled a box of the store brand equivalent of swiss cake rolls and started eating. I got through a few before realize they tastes rather off and the texture was odd, checked the date and they were a few years expired. If i recall correctly they were visibly bad but not as explicitly as those twinkled. The were darker in color and somewhat deformed.

I think it could scale. If you can directly transfer mechanical stress from the cable to the earth, with no concerns over vacuum or thermal insulation, the economics might work. Even if you can only store ~1 Wh per kg of enclosed rock, it seems possible to enclose millions of kgs of granite in a solenoid.
If you rent storage space and fail to keep up payments the ownership of any property within transfers to the storage operator. What else is a repair shop owner to do with devices that no one collects?
> Upthread the guy said "Tolerance means putting up with things with which you disagree". He's arguing for no restrictions AFAICT. Hence my post, to which no answer was forthcoming from him.

I think that "disagree" isn't exactly the correct description of someone's stance vis-a-vis hate speech, particularly that which is targeted at them.

It has been noted that "The Bill of Rights is not a suicide pact". For what it's worth, tolerance isn't a suicide pact either: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

When you repeatedly go through the cycle of blaming "both sides" and telling white supremacists to "stand by", and then making your press office issue a correction after the fact when enough people complain about it, that doesn't count as condemning white supremacists.

Employers have lawyers that can likely compel GitHub to terminate an account. And to minimize support/legal burden they would likely comply.

Especially since Github does not seem to have a public policy on this topic that would make it clear how they would adjudicate a situation like this...

Routing traffic for specific domains with known legal content is questionable practice, but at least it’s safe from the specific concern here (until someone finds an exploit, maybe a bad domain parser or something).

Routing arbitrary traffic is plain risky, it is entirely conceivable to be arrested for it, or at least be searched, whether you can explain it away later or not. “Other providers are doing it too” hardly makes it any less risky.

> If the Supreme Court rules for Oracle, Android is copyright-infringing

You mean was copyright-infringing. Harmony was dropped years ago, and Android has been rebased onto Oracle's own anointed, conflict-free codebase.

And you dodged the previous question where the commenter was asking for an honest assessment of mobile Java. You responded to a question that wasn't answered by talking about being unable to undo the past—which only makes sense if they had been pressing you for an answer to what would happen if Google called it a wrap on Android today, but that wasn't the question. Which brings us to another thing.

People who complain about Google's use of the Java APIs can't seem to get their arguments straight. That includes Gosling + the subset of the Sun/Oracle fan club who sat on the stand during trial + and the perennial commenters who parrot the same talking points on Hacker News. They (you) all complain about Android ripping off Java (to the tune of a multi-billion dollar copyright infringement lawsuit), but invariably the argument comes around to the real thing that's bothering them and which they try to wrap up in a bunch of claims about infringement—and what's actually got everyone (besides the money grubbers) fuming is the intentional incompatibility—in other words, that Android didn't copy enough! You wanna try squaring that circle? Which brings us to another another thing.

Android today is now based on the "proper" codebase, as mentioned above. How? Because it's open source. And it's been open source the whole time. It uses a different open source license, but it's open source nonetheless. Which means no one actually ever needed to get Sun or Oracle's permission to do anything. All the incompatibilities of Android? There's nothing that keeps the same breaking changes from being made in our hypothetical world where Android used the blessed license instead of the one from their preferred implementation. That difference does not suddenly force the hand of Google—or anyone—to keep dragging around Oracle/Sun's failed attempt at a mobile platform and maintaining compatibility with it.* It's GPL. Modifications are allowed. So reset from the beginning, bypass the Harmony detour, and everything still plays out exactly the same. Sun's platform still starts off where it was the whole time, in the gutter, and in that vacuum, Android becomes a thing, with incompatible APIs and all. And Oracle's infringement angle now disappears completely. Even if you're deluded enough to tell yourself that the platform Sun cooked up had a real shot (it didn't) before Google "obliterated" them, the market looks the same as it does today in favor of Android. So how much of those imaginary losses are actually the result of any infringement? I'll fill in the blank: the answer is none.

* Which is another thing...
To further explain my point but also support the root comment.

Aluminium/steel/titanium airframe parts are usualy machined or forged. It is not possible to replace them with 3D printed parts just yet.

But! All of jet engine turbine blades are cast, not machined. Those parts can be safely 3D printed, as various metal sintering/remelting methods produce similar or better structural quality. Same goes for those magnesium castings used in aircraft landing gear - can be replaced with 3D printed ones.

Parts that only under hydrostatic load like fuel nozzles can be 3D printed. Fatigue is not an issue there.

Parts that do not experience significant structural loads, but high thermal loads (combustors) can be also 3D printed.

I believe that's a better answer to the topmost comment.

How does this relate to Twitter blocking people from seeing an NYP article shared by people they explicitly chose to follow?
As strange as it may sound, the lectures at universities is not the only thing students are looking for from a university.

I can sneak into most universities' general education classes for a semester and no one would notice or care. Why aren't students doing that instead of taking on debt? Or for that matter my not take all your courses online for mostly free?

1) it's extremely hard to finish a course when no one is pushing you to do your work. You may be able to finish a few abut not 4 years worth.

2) Employers(society) put a lot of weight on where someone got their degree. Students are looking at a university's reputation.

3) University is a social experience in addition to an educational one.

4) Many Students need additional help to learn in addition to the lectures.

There are more but I'll stop there.

So given the previous, you need to charge enough to recreate some of the other things that students need from a university. It's probably a few thousand a year but that's after automating as much as possible. It's not impossible but it's a lot harder than just putting a few lectures online.
I thought (but don’t quote me on this) it was actually Visa and MasterCard that campaigned to keep chip-and-signature over chip-and-pin so that they could charge higher fees for “fraud prevention”.

Covid-19 cases and state partisanship
So these individuals are malicious and misleading, but what you believe is pure and good and right and holy?

How do you know you're not the one being deceived or are believing a lie? The freedom of speech allows people to talk about things that might be true, but unpopular.

> have decided that some censorship is in order

Freedom of speech is not absolute. It doesn't include images of child abuse, lying to Federal Agents, lying under oath before a Court or Congress, or speech that advocates for immediate and imminent harm of a person.

Those seem like decent limit breaks. Americas freedom of speech is very strong, stronger than German, Australia, the UK, NZ .. the US and Japan probably have the strongest free speech laws in the world (although Japan's is crippled by insane copyright law, which is another mess).

People who are on the wrong side of history, rarely know or realize it, while they're in it.

Free speech is about acknowledging someone else could be right and you might be wrong.

I have a project I want to do that would involve a lot of YouTube scraping. But they'll throttle you if they detect it. This led me down the rabbit hole into the world of residential proxy services. Some of them[0] advertise up to 40 million IPs. I can't imagine many of the owners of those IPs know what they're being used for.

It would be cool if there was a reputable open source project that would let people share/buy residential proxy usage, but at the end of the day there's no way to guarantee people aren't doing horrible things with your IP.

Is public transportation really monumentally expensive when compared to almost every adult spending somewhere between $5,000 and $150,000 every 5-10 years on a car? AAA says the average American spends nearly $9k/year owning/operating a vehicle. That'd buy a lot of public transportation infrastructure.

i always found this argument lacking, like what is that supposed to show me... that there were these 20 times he denounced them and then this VERY publicly one time he didn't?

like imagine this was like child trafficking or something. you denounce that shit heavily each and every time, no ambiguity, no question. even if you're asked to do it 50 times it should be 50/50. the fact that people have to pull that as a "defense" is ridiculous lol.
I'd say there's a far better chance the photos and videos are real than the emails. Given Biden's political connections I think getting videos of his kid smoking crack would be considered very valuable compared to what it would cost to have some party pal take the video.

Think about how well it works for a scenario like this. Using real videos to legitimize fake emails is an easy win, especially if you don't release either. No on can disprove the legitimacy of the emails and if Biden says they're total BS you release the real videos to add more legitimacy and give the whole thing another news cycle. Then you claim victory and go silent.

Isn't there a bureaucratic problem hiding in that observation? Some money is saved by police and by individuals who would have crashed, but the departments responsible for upgrading the infrastructure will never get a return on their investment. In practice that'll mean higher taxes to support some new-fangled tech that doesn't immediately help the majority of people, and I'd be surprised if that gets support.
