The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

And how can anyone call themselves an adult if they need some third party to come in and censor things for them? You can block, you can mute. You can stick to trusted groups. You can also learn self control and not feed the trolls.

If we want to control intolerance effort should be put into making the systems by which we personally and purposely block it from our lives more robust. And if they're going to try to create a universal bubble, it should at least be possible to leave it.

I never took "Holocaust Denial" seriously until I was told I could be fined/jailed for questioning the narrative. What other historic facts will you be fined/jailed for questioning?

When I went looking at things deemed "Holocaust Denial", I found that they DIDN'T DENY IT AT ALL (except one). They deny 6 million Jews died, and say it's around ONE million. In fact it's VERY hard to find ANYTHING "denying the holocaust". All of the "Nazis" that the book burners make famous (Droge/Zundel, etc.) don't deny mass exterminations happened..again, they deny the NUMBERS.

Calling it "Holocaust Denial" os lying about what is being said.

They also ask VALID QUESTIONS that the Jews don't seem to want to have asked! For example: Stalin, Churchill and Eisenhower all wrote memoirs and kept diaries. All are public record. NONE of them mention "Holocaust" or even "Mass extermination of jews". Why does the word itself not show up in the public lexicon until the 1970's?

Didn't know this? How will you find out these things if all the sources are burned.

These are VALID QUESTIONS and book burning is NEVER the answer!

Everything you have written is terrestrial speculation based on the same mistaken assumption - that human intelligence is as smart as it gets.

If aliens exist they will be alien. They will not be a bit weird with our naive ideas of sort-of-better alien tech. They will be something entirely different, and very likely able to do entirely unexpected things.

Imagine a species which has roughly the same intelligence advantage over humans as humans have over cats. Most of what humans spend their time doing today is incomprehensible to cats. Virtually all of math, physics, the Internet, the arts, philosophy is far beyond the imagination of an animal which hasn't evolved past a need to find food, sex, and occasional snuggles.

Now imagine a species which stretches the comparison to human-vs-ant. Not only are humans activities unimaginable, they're invisible. Even though ants live in the middle of them.

Ant perception is tuned to pheromone trails, foraging, and occasional ant wars, and ants don't have much of a concept of freeways, telecommuting, corner supermarkets, house renovation projects, or Amazon Prime - even though they may be surrounded by them.

Not only do ants not understand them, they cannot see them, except for those rare occasions where ants become a nuisance and a human decides to wipe them out.

It's irrational and naive to assume that we are the most evolved of all possible intelligences in a universe which is as big as this one is, and whose operation we really don't understand. We could be well surrounded by alien activities which are far outside our conceptual grasp - except for those occasions when the aliens take a passing interest, with strange and incomprehensible consequences.
>First of all, these things are going to be far less effective, durability, reliability and range wise than factory firearms.

This is technically true, but doesn't accurately represent the state of 3d printed firearms.

Durability - a 3d printed/hybrid firearm isn't going to last as long as one made by Ruger and co. However, the difference is between components lasting thousands of rounds vs tens of thousands of rounds - meaningful, but we're not talking "two shots then the barrel melts."

As far as range goes, that has far less to do with whether or not the components in question were homemade, and more to do with physics - namely, barrel length, the caliber of bullet you're firing, and how much powder is being used. Longer barrel = more complete burn of the powder = higher projectile velocity. The aerodynamics of projectiles is rather complex, but you can rule of thumb it as "heavier projectiles are more accurate, lighter projectiles go farther, faster." This is a long way of saying, as long as the barrel meets a certain threshold of quality (which, homemade firearms have met), it's not going to matter unless you're shooting out past 200 yards. Furthermore, barrels are (in the US anyway) cheap, plentiful, and entirely unregulated.
Well, in Julia you can use good old goto :)

using Combinatorics

# Initialization
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
primes = [3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17]
winners = []

# Loop though the permutations, collecting only prime pairs
for p in permutations(numbers)
for i in 2:9
if !(p[i-1] + p[i] in primes)
@goto nextpermutation
end
end
push!(winners, p)
@label nextpermutation
end

If I were to use a non-brute force approach I would consider computing all the hamiltonian paths of a graph where each vertex is a number and two vertices are connected only if their sum is a prime number
>Why is so hard to understand that government limitations on free speech are fundamentally different from private ones?

Because memories of the Cold War are fading quickly? Now in 2020 people (on both the Left and Right, mind you) are, with a straight face, trying to argue that social media should be seen as a "public utility", and regulated accordingly. We're rapidly on track to losing what is left of a free Internet.
>>What is tolerance? You can't tolerate something if you agree with it. Tolerance means putting up with things with which you disagree.

You can disagree with opinions, but not facts. Facts are... facts. That the Holocaust happened is a fact. Denying that fact should indeed not be tolerated.

The Prize in Economics is not one of the Nobel Prizes which were endowed by Alfred Nobel in his will. However, the nomination process, selection criteria, and awards presentation of the Prize in Economic Sciences are performed in a manner similar to that of the original Nobel Prizes.

Uh I think the difference is all that killing done by communists were done by despots but not core to the ideology.

It might also be because military equipment is statistically more likely to be acquired by departments in more dangerous environments.

Though I still feel the explanation is a positive feedback, where being more aggressive causes more aggressive behavior to normalize faster, causing more aggressive equipment, causing police to feel more like an occupation force rather than civil servants, causing more aggresive behavior, and so on.
I agree with you. My earlier point was that a license is not a contract, and shouldn’t be confused with one. My note at the end was that there is also a contract when you acquire a license through a purchase. The contract is typically of the form “you pay us money, we give you license”. That contract too shouldn't be confused with the license acquired.

As you correctly point out, one who sells his only license to a piece of software no longer has a license. If he kept a copy of the software and continues to use it, he is committing an act of infringement. That is the same whether the license is for a term (subscription) or perpetual.
The Nazi would claim to be oppressed by the Jew. Would you deny the purchase to anyone making such a claim?
He didn't say that. This is dishonest bullying.
If there is something out there which is this introduction, would love to read it!
They never said they'll open source it though. So I'd say no, thanks. I don't really trust them doing the right thing. If they wanted, they could join the Vulkan effort which is already cross platform. They never cared which clearly demonstrates where their interests lie.

The proper progress is for such lock-in to be replaced with Vulkan which is by design an open and cross platform API, not to proliferate blobs on Linux.
THANK YOU. So your saying I only need a sample size of say 50 used teslas to make a formula? I need to apply a score to the Autopilot software. And the other thing is that Tesla keeps reducing prices, so used values are always changing based on new information.
IMO this is even less charitable, since it implies that more violent police departments are seeking out surplus military equipment to better subjugate civilians.
Define Nazi, define “in order to convince others to be Nazis”. Your analogy is dealing in extremes only. In practice it’s not a clear cut. That is missing in your analogy.
I think the design is correct. If somebody is dismantling the car it should shut down.

There was disagreement at the time of writing between the founding fathers, which was a factor in ending up with its somewhat quirky phrasing[0]. Most of this disagreement does seem to be about State vs Federal power rather than the topics in contemporary discussions about it.

The Supreme Court does seem to have settled upon it being an individual rights[1] issue. Considering all the other rights in the bill of rights are individual, there does seem to be some consistency to that.

Based on the downvote of the post, I can see why that happened to you. I simply copied a section from the article.
SQLAlchemy author here. The critique of "Backbone" and the original quoted author's note at https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone/issues/2888#issuecomme... expresses an issue that SQLAlchemy has as well. A fine-grained development library has a ton of "surface area". Like Backbone, a large portion of our bugfixes necessarily infringe upon some previously undefined behavior that will now "break" for people who relied upon that. If SQLAlchemy were pure semver, we too would be at SQLAlchemy 48.0.0, the third digit for us would usually be fixed at "0" and mostly useless, and we would have no way to distinguish between a "major feature release with semi-breaking changes and removal of things that have been deprecated for years" which is what we normally have in our 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 etc. vs. a "major release with significant backwards-incompatible changes" which is what we will have in SQLAlchemy 2.0.

We necessarily include extremely detailed change documentation for a 1.x to 1.y release and our versioning system is described in great depth at https://www.sqlalchemy.org/download.html#versions . I didn't provide an easy word like "romantic" for this website to mock but we're doing essentially the same thing AFAICT.

When Jeremy says "This allows folks, immediately upon hearing about a new release, to get a rough sense of its scope.", that is exactly what we are doing as well when we are suddenly calling an upcoming release "2.0". The scope is dramatically broader than the scope in which we move from 1.x to 1.y. It's fun for semver purists to make clever (and definitely funny) websites mocking this need but that does not change that fact that semver does not work for every kind of project.
What a great app! Thank you for the link!
This is silly. Of course Facebook's censorship is censorship. It is true that they are not bound by the first amendment in the same way in which Congress (and via incorporation the states) are bound, but freedom of speech is a concept which exists independent of the first amendment guarantee to its enjoyment.
There you go: "He criticised the evidence for the accepted number of about 6 million victims, claiming that it was a propaganda figure of the Soviet leadership for which there were no evidence.[7]" from the above wikipedia article. Again, the whole line of argumentation matters, in which case he is misusing numbers from some sources to discredit other to come to a different total number.

If you are going to challenge a global research concesnus in any field, you better have a stringent, logical reason for doing so. If, on the other hand, you are bascially pulling numbers out of nowhere, misquote other out of context, all while writting the other stuff he did, you are on shacky ground.

The jump from one to two is where I'm lost, mostly due to ignorance. Sound propagating is just molecules smacking into each other, but it's not evident to me why the speed this can happen at would be limited other than by the speed of the molecules. I guess one molecule won't immediately accelerate when it's "hit" by another and this causes the slow down?

>What is tolerance? You can't tolerate something if you agree with it. Tolerance means putting up with things with which you disagree.

That's an easy one. Tolerance is putting up with things other people do, except when those other people are being intolerant. You can make a comfortable place for intolerant groups, or for the people they target, but not both. Better to remove the intolerance.

Removing holocaust denial is an easy win here. It will be more interesting to see if Facebook chooses to remove less obviously bad content.
The POSIX subsystem was barely usable, much more something to check a box in a government form and prevent Windows from being disqualified than anything actually useful.

I kind of disagree with the Windows/WSL and Mac being targeted at the same crowd. I have the feeling gaming has a higher priority with the Windows/WSL users and what would drive someone who'd otherwise get a Mac to get a Windows box. WSL seems to be geared at preventing a Windows user from switching over to either Mac or Linux for the superior Unix experience.

I feel like any given region's propensity to say not like a particular sexual orientation is dramatically different from say holocaust denial that is straight up rooted in antisemitism.
Please, do clarify what they meant then.

As I see it, they suggested that removing content denying the Holocaust was telling someone what opinions to have on the matter. The Holocaust is not a matter of opinion, it is a fact.
The killing was done by our friends and neighbors who joined the state apparatus, you know. It is core to the ideology which promotes class "struggle".

Oh, and I abhor fascism too.
It also says a few sentences later "He came to the conclusion that the Soviet commission examining the concentration camp Auschwitz (which did not find any of the German paperwork) had made the best estimate the number of victims."

Edit: I also want to clarify (again) that I'm not arguing that he is correct. I am arguing that he is labeled a denialist for his claim about the number of Jews killed, despite his believing that a large number of Jews were killed in concentration camps.
The premise of the paradox of tolerance is that if you tolerate the wrong people, they'll take over and end all tolerance.

You have to make that case every time you invoke it to call for censoring things you don't like. Are they a realistic threat? How much of a threat should we tolerate?

If you don't make the case, you're just calling for total conformity with all non-conforming thought assumed hostile.
It's amazing to me that people don't see the irony that a major tactic of the nazis was quelling free speech.

We are so scared of the nazis that we act like them. This is of course how they framed it too. They would have claimed they needed to protect themselves from the dangerous ideas, literature, art of the Jews.
Try PyPy.
Because I don't buy that an otherwise reasonable and moderate guy is casually an holocaust denier.

I am specifically not arguing that anybody - including the government - should have the right to harm that person, but it's such a massive red flag that I believe I would be justified in severing all ties with that person.

I guess that even denying the holocaust, like everything else, comes in different degrees, but parent was talking about organized groups that actively attempt to spread that belief. That's too far for me to ever forgive.

Well, there's a prize. It's in memory of Nobel, and it's awarded based on the same rules as the other prizes. But it wasn't actually established by Nobel. So, is that a Nobel prize or not? Technically, no... but everybody doesn't want to be technical all the time. And the full name of the prize does have "Nobel" in it. So people call it "the Nobel in Economics" for short. And then other people get all huffy, because technically that isn't quite accurate.
There's another angle to this.

What if Microsoft created a new linux-based OS precisely to start from scratch and let go of all the Windows cruft?

Windows 10 is mature enough to not need any significant work and still maintain backwards-compatibility, but maybe Microsoft is preparing the terrain with a new OS for the next 20 years.

Apple is moving fast towards universal apps for mobile and desktop. Maybe Google is doing that with Fuchsia too. Microsoft failed with Windows Phone but it probably learned from its mistakes. I'd be surprised if Windows 10 + Android is their long term goal.
Here, I'll make it easy for you:

We shouldn't tolerate things that are objectively and provably false. Denying the holocaust is one of those things, and therefore we shouldn't tolerate it.

Why would you draw that line? Hate is an emotion every human feels. Are we not supposed to hate now?

How do you know if the hate is justified? Plenty of hate is fueled by religion and the many atrocities committed in its name by all involved. Hate has been caused by historical events and wars. Even disrespect towards others is cause for hate.

It's okay to hate. People should be able to think and feel whatever they want. What's wrong is acting out violently in response to that hate.

First, that wasn't a hyperbole. Second, you don't have to be a holocaust denier to be pro free speech, and the guy you're replying to probably isn't one.

As far as holocaust denial goes, I don't think there's a mystery as far as the basis for such claims.
