Agreed. The CCP is fucking terrible. We wouldn't be having this conversation in China. Well we might; tech people with VPNs and encrypted comms. But most normal people would no be able to see it.

But I do fear the US is headed that direction. When you seen BLM protestors telling people to raise their fists and kiss their feat and people saying you must denounce racism over and over and over again no matter how many times you may have before. Make to mistake: These are American Struggle Sessions.

We have people in major outlets, publications, tech .. all saying Trump people are universally racist and evil. 60+ million people voted for him. That's the most insane thing I've ever heard.

I knew we were headed this way years ago. I wrote about it:

https://battlepenguin.com/politics/the-fallout-of-american-a...

I never thought it would get this bad. I don't think we'll turn into the CCP, but we are in danger of having dramatic shifts in what Americans consider morally right.
the only one that seems plausible is that we missed, put plainly, a metric fuckton of cases in spring
My Dad used to recommend removing mold from food. Said they used to do it when he was growing up. My sister the Nurse suggested "Dad, in the old days, people used to die for no reason."

So I don't eat moldy stuff any more.
True. People need to stop comparing self driving cars favorably to the worst performing humans. Gives companies license to release these badly performing cars into the streets.
Plausible. The guy has a wikipedia page that was clearly written by a PR agency:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Jung-ju

There's way too much detail and it's all incredibly flattering, stuff like:

He is known for strategic investments that aren’t limited to gaming companies, and he has acquired firms and invested in various fields. Being an avid Lego fan throughout his life, in 2013 he purchased Bricklink, the world’s largest online marketplace for Lego toys.

It sometimes surprises me that wikipedia can be gamed this easily.
Interesting. I said the same to my manager a while back in a 1:1. Basically the whole remote/digital thing has been a real equalizer for me. I can do far better now in some ways with communications.
Yeah, I think the "what could go wrong" line was more hyperbolic than anything else. It's been happening for a long time now.
Interesting. Are they man-rated engines? Which parts? Since rocket engines tend to be single-use only, fatigue strength wouldn't be much of an issue.

Right free speech isn't straight forward.I think that is lost on alot of these commenters.

But there's two layers here, does free speech apply to social media. No it doesn't, it's not the government. What would be free speech violation is if you criticized the government then had the government tell the social media company to remove something.

Then there's the hypothetical, if social media companies had to listen free speech. Is spreading manipulative false information protected free speech? That seems abusive to me, close to slander.That's not protected speech.
You know that's not the first time that idea has occurred to me either and I have this worrying nagging in the back of my head that that is literally exactly the long game they're playing.

Almost all of the stories in the National Enquirer are factually correct. You might not like the subject matter but they are journalists.
The infamous "shouting fire in a crowded theater" was mentioned by Holmes in U.S. v. Schenck which had nothing to do with fires or theaters. The case involved whether Schenck could be convicted under the Espionage Act for the crime of writing and distributing a pamphlet that expressed his opposition to the draft. That is the dangerous idea that sent a person to prison.

>...In 1969, the Supreme Court's decision in Brandenburg v. Ohio effectively overturned Schenck and any authority the case still carried. There, the Court held that inflammatory speech--and even speech advocating violence by members of the Ku Klux Klan--is protected under the First Amendment, unless the speech "is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action"

Even Holmes seemed to quickly realize that the Schenck decision was odious since in the same term, he also wrote:

>...In what would become his second most famous phrase, Holmes wrote in Abrams that the marketplace of ideas offered the best solution for tamping down offensive speech: "The ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas -- that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes safely can be carried out."

Ask HN: Sister talks to Alexa as if its a human.Do you have family doing same?
We just bought a couple of Echo Dots for the house and this is the first time my sister is using it. She says please and thank you to Alexa. When Alexa fails to find an answer to her query, she gets angry at her and rudely tells it to "shut up". Then apologises for her behavior. She tries to have contextual conversations with it. It seems like the line between a human and a machine is getting blurred for some people. What implications do you think this is it going to have on the next generation who grow up in a house with these devices?

If you're talking about Flynn, he was entrapped by the FBI, his lies weren't material, his lawyer had a conflict of interest, when his new lawyer uncovered all of that in discovery, the prosecutor moved to dismiss (because they had committed misconduct), Sullivan, in AN UNPRECEDENTED MOVE, appointed his own Amicus to say they couldn't dismiss the case.

Flynn was then charged for lying when he plead guilty, because ht wasn't actually guilty. Seriously. This is a Kafka trap.

On top of that, it's now clear Sullivan was getting e-mail, exparte, and ENTERING THEM into evidence!!!

Interesting point of view. So as long as a paper is "non-tabloid" it should be more trusted. A Chinese or Russian state owned non-tabloid is then more trustworthy than NYP? Propaganda is everywhere and the definition of what and when something is sensationalist is fuzzy.
Not conflating. Just straight up lying. Apple are falsely claiming something obviously relevant is irrelevant in an abuse of market power to maximise profit.

There we go. It's not a calling a spade a digging implement and then conflating it with all garden tools in general (eg chainsaws are not for children). It is calling the spade a piece of cheese to further and protect their abuse of market power con.
Presuming, of course, that your cluster is completely isolated from the outside world. Otherwise, the interaction of various controllers, deployment stacks, and application usage conspire to generate endless amounts of cluster state change requests, which can quickly pileup if etcd is unavailable or behaving erratically and cause all manner of havoc. Containers can fail to restart after crashing; jobs won't run, etc. Plus, in k8s etcd is typically used for more than just the barebones state required for basic node and pod status. Metrics, API requests, DNS, etc, often depend on etcd--the same etcd--for storage and communication, which can compound the effect of a flakey etcd and even instigate it.

"Should", yes. (Details obviously depend on jurisdiction) For that, they get a warrant to search your home and for your computers to be confiscated to do the forensic analysis on them. You might get them back after a few years if nothing can be proven. They also might tie you into it for knowingly supporting it by installing such a VPN, some places make you responsible for everything happening through your connection by default. See the "fun" people operating TOR exit nodes have for what can happen.
What are you gonna do with these kids, then? Just let them sit at home and wait for them to carry out the next terrorist attack?

Many of them have bright futures. If anything, it's dystopian not to let them live their lives to the fullest extent.
> The fact that that example became well-known due to the awful decision in Schenck v. United States does not mean that it's not a good example of speech that ought not be protected.

It might be an example for speech that ought not be protected, but it's not an example of unprotected speech grounded in either the preexisting case law or any precedential rule in Schenk that is still operative, so it's not a useful touchpoint for analysis. It's pure unsupported dicta sandwiched between two well-referenced points of law in the decision.

> Speech that is false and intentionally causes a panic should not be protected.

Intent is not an element of the well-known hypothetical described in Schenk, nor the even more abbreviated form derived from it raised in this thread.

But is distribution sufficient to trigger liability?

Printing a letter to the editor isn't authoring it, after all. The newspaper is exercising some editorial control in that letters to the editor are not all printed, but it isn't endorsement per-se, just a judgement that there is some public interest in making it available. Any liability for libel should surely lie with the letter's author rather than the newspaper.

I also note that you ignored the latter half of my question.
The UN is made up members. Things like US vetos are part of the process and must be included.

WHO has a global outlook and you have a person story. Those two conflict more often than not. Telling you masks don't work and then telling you they always worked and you must wear one is a big messaging error that has cost many lives. And the reasons behind are political. Trust with me has been broken.

If it's important I'll include a link with detailed context for each and throw in a few more examples for you.

I was going to write a reply saying that I don't see why we can't use it in many places as long as we understand the parameters of the product, but as so often happens I found an excellent source that actually explains your stance in details.[1] The TL;DR is that there are lots of imperfections in 3D printed parts, which means they typically fail at much lower stresses. It actually includes some pretty good video illustrating this at a microscopic level.

That said, there are apparently new techniques being researched and discovered that have promise to increase the quality of 3D printed parts. One way to thing of it is that we have hundreds to thousands of years of experience in material science with forming metals in other manners, and we've just started with additive engineering, so there's a lot of room for improvement.

> On that note, I really do think distributed social media networks are the future.

I think they could be the future, but any social media platform is only as strong as its underlying social graph. A flawless platform which checks every box will still fail unless you can convince a significant amount of users to join. Or, more to the point, a certain amount of graph edges need to be formed.

How do you do that? That’s the question floating over the graves of dozens of Facebook clones.

As long as it's good work by credible scientists and filled with caveats about being a work in progress and that it may turn out to be nothing, I don't see the issue.
Oh absolutely. There's no way you can just drop a scan in to solid works, send it to the printer and call it a day. Some serious engineering needs to occur to change manufacturing processes.

That's probably not a deal breaker in the grand scheme of things is all I'm saying.

You could technically set up a mesh network and bypass the ISP too. I don’t think that argument is aging well, since it depends on some essential distinction between “telephone wire” type infrastructure and “server farm” or “installed base” type infrastructure.

Why should we assume that a global content management and delivery network, broadcasting 500 million messages every day, is trivially replaceable? The fact is nothing has even come close to replacing it.
A few things wrong with your rebuttal.

One, nobody is taking away your right to say or think things. This is about Twitter's obligation (or lack thereof) to broadcast your thoughts to others.

They are not burning you at the stake like a vengeful Catholic church during the Inquisition or outlawing your thoughts like "wrongthink" in 1984.

Two, the printing press analogy is highly flawed. Twitter is like the owner of one specific printing press, not some entity that controls all printing presses. If you owned a printing press, would you want to be obligated to print things you find factually and harmful?

I assume you'd certainly want the freedom to turn down printing jobs. Or do only certain freedoms matter?

Elastic IPs are totally free, as long as they are being used by an instance. However, Amazon will charge you $0.01/hr for each EIP that you reserve and do not use. You will be charged if you ever remap an EIP more than 100 times in a month.
Republic[1] kind of approaches this problem, but from a crowdsourced investor point-of-view. The funders don't necessarily have to be founders as well. There is a great incentive to join a community based bootstraping. I think the situation here is that gamification is a tool for collaboration or measurable value, which is a black-box. This is filling a gap for early stage founders that couldnt be achieved with IH. The breaking point might appear when there is a clear disparity between well performing startups and misaligned incentives, ie startups with different KPIs underperforming.

I take 30mg Vyvanse daily. There's two points to be made:

First, stimulants have a release schedule and are generally not a 24-hour thing. You wouldn't be able to sleep if they were. The effect depends on plasma concentration and varies during that interval. You might feel extremely focused at first, then energized but not especially focused, then a total drop in energy and focus when you hit the "down" part of the curve. Everyone's response is slightly different, however. I definitely think differently in the morning (after taking the pill) vs. at night. Sometimes I have an insight while relaxing in the evening that I write down and becomes my focus in the morning, when I'm better able to work.

Second, it's not easy to put into words but the focusing effect is different from the cross-topic creativity you're talking about. Amphetamine is like a really strong, long-lasting coffee without the negative side effects that would come from drinking pots of coffee at a time. Plenty of creative people drink regular portions of coffee. It lets you focus on your work without unwanted distractions. But by increasing working memory, stimulants actually increase the incidence of cross-domain insight, in my experience, because you're able to keep more concepts in mind while you're working.

Twitter Shuts Down Entire Network to Slow Spread of Negative Biden News
It tried it a few times, both humming and and using other techniques to better create the sound. Had little luck sadly.

First I tried the Mario theme song, it got it, but with very low confidence and had about equal confidence for a Bone Thugs song lol.

Tried it again with a rock song that was at least popular enough to show up on an official Spotify Playlist for its decade and genre. It got that with pretty good accuracy.

Finally I tried some sludge metal and punk tunes. I can't vocalize the sludge sound worth shit so I'm not shocked it didn't come back with anything, but I'm mildly disappointed it didn't find anything for the relatively simple Choking Victim song I vocalized, but I assume song popularity is a big component.

Cool feature though, unfortunately I can't hold a tune for as long as the snippet it wants lol.
You can't just run over a pedestrian because they use a crosswalk when the signal is telling them to stop. That's not how society works.

These self-driving cars are going to need to be very careful around people if they operate in cities, but if they are careful enough to be safe, they'll also have to deal with groups of bored teenagers herding the cars around for fun.

Sadly, any rule that can't bend to the fact that people are people is doomed to fail.
Did you read the last sentence about "being allowed back into society"? Ostracism for the purpose of social thought control is perverse, tyrannical, and disturbing on every level. I'm amazed at how OP could in one sentence complain about the rise of extremism and by the end of the paragraph prescribe an extreme form of human torture to solve it.

I reckon people who reason like this probably think "extremism" is some concretely defined thing rather than a subjective thing that depends on the culture, the time, and the place.
Crev – Scalable, social, Code REView and recommendation system
... I don't think it's absolute rubbish?

"Aggregation" is centralisation, meaning centralising all information in the hands of a few - e.g. people who could only get an education from a religious school with a religion as well, or you must take every bit of advice from the local wise men and their ivory towers, or from the government, like buying all products from Walmart.

"Disaggregation" is de-centralisation, you can get information from many sources - e.g. theology from the Church, medicine from the doctors, happiness from the psychiatrists, education from the academy, like going to a baker for bread, a butcher for meat, a cheesemonger for cheese, instead of Walmart for everything, and get better quality bread, cuts of meat, cheese, from people who specialise in those things.

We live in times where small specialists can broadcast their information, freely, to people far and wide - the internet, social media - makes "going to" a specialist just as convenient as going to a central source. So you might expect people to do that, and get their information from many specialist sources, political news and ideas from someone who specialises in politics, gardening advice from a gardening forum. And yet, the author claims, we seem to congregate around popular people instead and try to get all information on all sources from them, somewhat paradoxically.

In the past, an expert in one field of Psychology might have been the only person available or accessible to teach many classes and the students would learn less well from the lack of expertise. Today, there are many more people, more specialists, and more options for remote education, they could have each lecture from a world expert on that topic, but we don't do that.

Outside of academia, a normal person might choose to follow many social media accounts on many topics, to gain specialist information in each area they are interested in. In economic terms, decentralising control of content and publishing ought to remove bottlenecks from running everything through a few people, remove problems such as only being able to access education if you also take religion and life advice from the same source, and create extra benefits because each specialist can go deep into their specialty.
