Supreme court cases build upon precedent. It sounds like your real issue is with corporate personhood. That was decided in a case that Citizens United built on, so I would recommend barking up that tree instead.

In any case, I personally feel corporate personhood actually does make sense. It’s absurd that I as an individual can engage in speech but if I communicate through a company that I solely own now I can’t.

Trying to “get money out of politics” is a fools’ errand; as Citizens v United demonstrates, speech often requires money. What we really need is the opposite: get politics out of my damn money!

(By the way, most who have been spoonfed the “get money out of politics” line are entirely ignorant on the facts of the CU case. As I recall Hillary Clinton was trying to suppress a documentary critical of her because it was too close to an election. Does that sound like something you’re a fan of?)
This would also open the door to actually secure online card payments by just tapping the physical card (or Apple/Google Pay) instead of relying on static card numbers & hacks such as 3D Secure.
Foxconn thought they were licking the boots of the American despot and his henchman, the Governor of Wisconsin. This is the accurate assessment of the American regime abroad: it is a corrupt autocracy where the guy at the top hands out favors and punishments capriciously. It seemed to Foxconn leadership that they could break even on the boondoggle, but perhaps benefit greatly from avoiding trade sanctions.
This old post from Moxie Marlinspike in 2012 about having the worst material possessions made a huge impact on me for some unclear reason. Fun read. https://moxie.org/2012/11/27/the-worst.html
Nothing like the very egalitarian principle that says, "One rich man can advocate for his interests, but 100 poor men may not pool their resources to advocate for theirs."
To quote CU as the worst decision out there is laughable. Personally I fully agree with the ruling, but even if I didn’t, isn’t Dredd Scott far more disastrous? Or Korematsu (allowed detention camps based on race)? Or the one that allows forced sterilization of the mentally retarded?

Don’t forget Rhythm and Hues who famously went bankrupt and out of business, in the same year they won an Oscar for Best Special Effects.

This is not a business you want to be in, if you care about making money.

If you do this kind of thing because this is who you are, what you eat, breathe, drink, and dream, and there is no other thing you are capable of doing on the planet, then you might be able to make enough money to eat ramen for dinner.
> Marriages are formed under state law as well, and it doesn't seem controversial to me that the federal government grants that relationship special privileges

I think the only reason this isn't controversial is because people don't think about it. The fact that people are conditioned to get married, not to mention the tax benefits, is pretty fucking weird if you stop and think about it. Supposedly our country was meant to separate church and state, but it's obvious it was such a new concept that many of the ideas were stolen from the mores of the conventional religions of the time.

I mean, why is marriage a legal thing at all? Why is the government involved? It made sense when there was a dowry involved, but today? Nobody cares until they realize what a fucking nightmare getting divorced is, and the number of conditions and loopholes is asinine. It's almost like the lawyers invented it, because divorce lawyers make an insane amount of money on the suffering of others (they are heavily incentivized to push for people to be combative, because they make more money that way - and it's easy to rile people up when custody of children is involved).

This is obviously a bit of a rant that went in a weird direction but whatever.

>> everyone argues from an emotional perspective.

> Certainly you'd agree that there's a scale? It's not black and white. I will edit this part to make that more clear.

Actually, not really. You seem to be missing my primary point, which is that thinking that things lie along a single scale where on one hand you have "pure, platonic ideal of reason" and on the other end you have "emotional hysterics". I don't think it works that way. I think the sibling commenter put it best:

>> everyone argues from an emotional perspective

> You kind of have to. If you were not emotionally invested in some way, you wouldn’t be arguing.

That is, I think step one is try to understand why you (and your debate partner) are emotionally incentivized to care about the topic in the first place.

"Don't shade your eyes, plagiarize."

This was an opengl programming class for graduate students or senior compsci majors. He was really just saying make sure to build on other people's work and don't always just reinvent the wheel.
WhatsApp encourages people to back up their messages to either Apple Cloud or Google Drive which breaks the E2E encryption. There is no way to tell whether the other party is doing this and just one person in a group chat can accidentally / on purpose back up the chat at any time.

Signal allows chat backups but it's not the default option and the UX deliberately discourages this behaviour. They are also encrypted with a password which offers more security.
Yah, the interesting piece happens when you compare what happens when agricultural practices converge. Us historical corn yields prior to 1920/1930 (major introduction of industrial fertilizer happens pretty shortly thereafter) were identical to current SSA yields. Subsaharan African farms close in on US yields pretty quickly when the same inputs are used.

The number of acres to make fertilizer are minimal. It’s very, very small relative to agricultural land under cultivation.

In regards to financial incentives, I mention this specifically so you know I could have a bias and am leaving references to the science so you can make your own judgement. I’m not really in this line of work for the money though.
Ask HN: Is there syntax aware Git diff?
Git diff is great but sometimes I really wish there was smart diff which i could configure my IDE, vscode, to use.

Sometimes I wish vscode could understand that I don't care if function abc() { ... became function abc () { ... or {a:1,b:2} became {a:1,b:2,}...

not sure where this functionality needs to lie but if git could be configured or vscode, it already has typescrpit engine which can see if code is different or not syntactically..

TLDR: git diff that doesn't tag changes that don't affect the execution of the program. Because I use git diff to figure out if PR is affecting something important, but have to filter out styling changes.

There are quite a few electric cooktops in the US. I would guess more than half are electric. As for induction, not as much, but I always see them for sale in any appliance store. I believe they are more expensive.

As for not seeing them in the media, that is likely because electric cooktops don't make for good video. The pop of a nice blue flame is much more interesting. Additionally, most high end kitchen appliances are gas since gas is preferred by most professional kitchens.
Jitsy Meet is even easier to set up, no account required. Just visit a web page, create a channel/meeting and you're good to go. I love it compared to Zoom which is quite annoying. The audio is also better. No idea why everyone uses Zoom, most meetings are less than 10 people. I also hear it on news channels in interviews since the pandemic, robotic Zoom voice.
Whenever I find a copy of Elements of Style, I throw it away. I have deep-sixed at least four copies in the past five years.

Geoff Pullum, at Edinburgh, calls it "The Nasty Book", because it makes people needlessly insecure about their writing, and because its supposed rules are not followed by any great writer.

The most damning fact is that, when he produced the second edition after Strunk died, White made up a bunch more phony rules, and then went through Strunk's original text and doctored it to obey them. Then, he failed to obey them in his own text--frequently on the same page where he was advocating them.

There is a certain amount of correct advice, but it is the same as elsewhere, e.g.: "omit needless words". Did we need a book to tell us that?

But his victims love him.
Every single thing in this lengthy article comes together to make one clear point: they had no plan at any step of the way and just tried to BS it all, and they've done it several times around the world. Blaming this on lazy Americans when they were literally begging for something to do is strange.

The article is gathering plenty of facts and interviewing plenty of people. If you've got insider information with some good sources, by all means, provide it.
Perhaps not. Private communication is more central to our national values than customized money. That's why only one of those two things is protected by the constitution. That being said, I don't think they'd really get far with such a rule, since any prosecution based on it would be easily challenged on constitutional grounds. So we will probably never find out what in fact I would say about it.
After a web search it sounds like a common perception is that discord does some audio processing to make speech sound clearer than just plain recording. So this probably has little to do with the codec that's used for data compression. This speech clarity effect could be done in audio worklets too.

You can try enrolling your masked face as a second face. I had some success with that, but it would still miss enough to be annoying, but I've heard it works well for some people.
> The article reads like you took every smartass redditor on the planet and condensed them down into an article. Why can I not express emotions in an argument, or why do I need to be 'rational', or why can I not be subjective? I don't mean this in an offensive way but why is everyone who argues supposed to pretend they're autistic, because that's honestly how this piece comes across.

The author never says you have to do any of those things. Just that if you want to argue constructively, then maybe being expressing a lot of hostility, irrationality, and subjectivity isn't the best way to do it.
I often have similar thoughts to this - there's very few areas where decentralized software has had a better UX than centralized alternatives, and that is why they haven't had as much success.

I think compromises can be made, and in practice, perhaps have to be, in order to attain a large user base (large enough for common network effects, too). I don't want the minimum requirements of all software to be perfect decentralization, censorship-resistance, 10 different client implementations in Rust, and so on. Just, better than what we have. Nonprofit companies could do a good job of it imo, similar to how we see Wikipedia and the Internet Archive as such forces of good that will not become corrupted by ads, selling data, and the likes.
I don't think you could use POP or IMAP, since these protocols are designed for a registered user to interact with a mail server - to connect, you'd first need to know the user's userID and password on that server (and the userID isn't necessarily related to the e-mail address, even though it may be on Gmail). And if you got back an error, you wouldn't know whether it was the userID or the password that was invalid. SMTP can be used, however, since that protocol is designed to be able to send messages to a user on any mail server. (See my earlier reply for an explanation of how this can be done with SMTP: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24834067)
The problem is mismatched incentives. There's no reason for Facebook or Twitter to let you hide content that wastes your time when they profit from wasting your time (a better word for "engagement").

Remove the "engagement" revenue source (or make it unprofitable due to liability, regulation regarding privacy, etc) and most problems with centralized social media will go away (centralization isn't actually that big of an issue - plenty of things we use on a daily basis are centralized and it's not causing any issues as long as incentives are aligned).
Asking for feedback is crucial. Before I did that, I performed many iterations of buying some items I think look good on me, wearing them a few times, and getting rid of the ones that don't get any compliments (most of them).
I tend to agree, but I think (perhaps mistakenly) that OP was trying to illustrate via analogy that it's more complicated than that. I wasn't able to see the point being made with the analogy though (hence my reply).
I think it wouldn't be constitutional on the same grounds as Citizens United, namely, it would be a violation of the right to free speech. If I have a constitutional right as an individual to label things kosher or halal, why would I lose that right if I go into business with some friends? (I'm assuming I have this right as an individual, right?)

I think it is a consistent view that I do lose that right when I incorporate to be clear, and you could probably design a coherent society on that model - I just don't totally follow why / what the constitutional grounds are.
This is so utterly useless... but I love it! Really great work building something silly :)
Which is what is so depressing about "cancel culture" and radical redefinition of what is "hate speech". Liberals and the rational center are not defending those ideals which gave us our modern Western civilisation.

Even on this website, merely questioning the validity of some of the aspects of the politically correct zeitgeist will get your post flagged and hidden from public consumption.

This post is confusing to me. It's titled "Or, a case for using punctuation in Slack", and then spends almost the rest of the post discussing the issue with acronyms/initialisms/shorthand.

I totally agree about shorthand. It can be unnecessarily ambiguous. But punctuation isn't related to acronyms, I don't think? As others have pointed out, punctuation over instant-messaging services can add meaning you don't intend. I generally don't capitalize the first letter of sentences or end messages with periods in IM applications.

If they had just named it "A case for avoiding use of shorthand in Slack", I'd 100% agree.
I personally use Flatpak for Discord and Slack. I used to have issues with my package repositories not being up-to-date too, but this is much more convenient.
Nice insight, so gamers are (or at least were?) the "early adopters" persona that a new product loves to have. I see this a lot in startup lore though, the idea of finding an audience where you are solving a big specific pain, rather than trying to make everyone's life a tiny bit better (but less than they care).
I'd see it as infringing on the religious shopper's rights rather than the corporations though. That makes it towards impossible to practice your religion

Correct: Orwell was also very, very wrong.

This is not just personal distaste. Linguists who know the facts find it intolerable.
First you gotta find out if the other party is any interested in debating. Or at least in good faith.

Too often, their mind is set in stone, and their agenda is to convince whoever is listening to you, that they're right - or that you're wrong.

Point is - if they're not interested, there's not a single thing you can do about it. Waste of time and energy.
You're darn right that it applies to all frameworks. However let's not forget about system libraries, which do in fact limit what's possible with your universal turing machine. That has more to do with politics than culture.
Or give them a choice to create an account if they want to but not needlessly bug them about it.

Discord basically copied IRC and added voice chat. One didn't need an account for IRC why should they need one on Discord? Maybe to retain their nickname but that's it. And it was just a password, no email no phone number no nothing else.

I really liked the temporary and anarchic nature of IRC. No one was really in control.
I've been on the internet 16 hours a day from a young age, and I've never used smilies/emojis/emoticons, except very ironically in some rare cases. I don't think they're necessary, and I find use of "informal IM style" (eliding capitalization and final periods) to be much more telling of tone, personally, especially among young people.

Periods + capitalization (when writing in English) over IM comes across as "cold" to me, whether or not someone's using emoji; unless they're above a certain age, of course.
Weird, that hasn't happened to the ones I've been on for years.

If someone tried to build an app on one of those systems where you were forced to accept messages by default until you blacklisted them then it probably would. It would be terrible.

Thankfully no users actually want apps like that, we've already got email and web social media sites for having a public directory of strangers to contact. That is a use-case that is only sometimes needed, and when it is you only need to use it once.

Just watch it. I'm an american born chinese. I'm basically a lazy bastard like every other american. If you go to china you'll see these people are industrious af. They will work their ass off no question under slave labor until they kill themselves. You've heard of the nets to prevent suicide in Foxconn right?

The movie spins the whole situation as a cultural problem. This is partly true. The other part that is 100% true is that Chinese people work 400% harder and faster than you or I. I know from anecdotal experience both from going to China, working in a chinese store with other chinese people under my mom as a kid (and getting fired by my own mom for not being as efficient as the other chinese people) and watching this movie. It's real.
In a vacuum, it does not seem to follow from the 1st amendment that forming a corporation for financial expedience should also be protected speech. You don't lose speech by forming a new thing without speech if you retain your rights as an individual.

Only one of their specific SKUs out of dozen are fabbed by TSMC, and it was a very late addition to the lineup. As long as Intel operate their own leading edge Fab, Intel's incentive is and always will be to fully utilise their own fab capacity as much as possible in order to gain economy of scale.
