Do you think private contractors that provide public utilities should be able to decide who gets to use electricity?

Do you think private companies should be able to provide weapons to the enemy in times of war?

Societies provide rules, regulations and protections around private property to harmonize private and public interests. Facebook is not NYTimes and there is no reason to treat them the same way. Laws and regulations should be pragmatic.
This discussion is pointless because it's just a proxy war. Everyone's position is completely determined by what they think of Bannon (or Trump really), so no information is exchanged. Here's a thought anyway though. The image he used (heads on pikes) is gruesome and is also a common metaphor for doing something dramatic to deter unwanted behavior, also known as pour encourager les autres. In my mind that usage tilts the remark away from "let's literally put their heads on pikes" to the more metaphoric. Now try this thought experiment: come up with some new grisly image of a way to murder someone, without any history of being used as a metaphor, and imagine Bannon had used that image instead. That would tilt the remark more towards being an actual threat.

Other people in this thread have made a similar better point. If he had said "heads should roll", that's not a call for decapitation. Another obvious point is that he's being an edgelord, going too far but not exactly all the way, in order to get attention. Edgy references to civil war are the same. That's not starting a war, but it's not totally not starting a war either. There aren't precise lines to draw here, probably on purpose.
For me, no.

For my grandpa, yes. Windows smart screen hides the run anyway button as more info link.
"To get fast software today. You're going to need some artists." I don't think that's been true for a couple of decades. Performance issue resolution are now less "The Story of Mel" and more "throw processors, memory and bandwidth at it until it has what we need." Security requirements are more likely to be your limiting factor than raw speed. There are certainly some niche areas where you're working within tight resource limitations (I work in embedded stuff), but Moore's law means we can get MS software to run in an SoC, which means we stopped needing artists a while back.
“Heads on pikes” is used as a hyperbolic shorthand for any kind of public shaming, especially when someone is fired.

But “Mount their heads on pikes at the corners of the White House as a warning the way they used to do to traitors in Tudor England” is nothing close to a common expression.
Definitely right. After 13 years of this I just find it really hard to care that much about X startup or tech company. My daily work is basically the same no matter where and what industry I'm at. Given some baseline of company quality. There is probably some upper echelon that I'm not smart enough or hard working enough or care about enough to break into - because it would require sacrificing too much of my personal life. And I don't mean your run of the mill FAANG corporations.

The quality of my work is better than ever but my caring is at an all time low. I still study new technologies and learn better soft skills and it's easier than ever with great resources and the perspective from experience. I've had my share of lottery tickets in startups and grinding away at bigger companies and what I truly want is like a 3 or 4 day work week.
Do you have any self awareness when it comes to left wing violent rhetoric?
Apropos of yesterday's thread(s?) around running a k3s cluster on Raspberry Pis - when I tried to do something similar, I very quickly ran out of steam trying to find manifests and charts that didn't have some random x86_64 image hardcoded somewhere inside them.

I spent more time trying to figure out ways to get the right images than I did learning k8s, so I kinda put the project down.

I do think this is exactly the sort of thing though that will start to flush that out, long term.
But that’s beside the point. If you don’t know, you won’t avoid Apple products because of it.

From the article:

> Bannon suggested in a video posted on Nov. 5 that FBI Director Christopher Wray and government infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci should be beheaded, saying they had been disloyal to U.S. President Donald Trump, who last week lost his re-election bid to Biden.

So I'm not sure where you get your claim that whymauri is lying.

Stronger: Even if whymauri is incorrect, lying is a whole different level. Can you prove whymauri had intent to tell something other than the truth? I'm pretty sure you can't. And if not, site guidelines call for a charitable interpretation of what others say. Your accusation of lying is completely out of bounds.
I would agree with the parent poster that the downvotes represent a lack of entertaining the idea, because instead of engaging and arguing against it, it's merely immediately downvoted.

Look how often constitutional ammendments were proposed in the past compared to today. We're fossilizing the idea of our country into a religion instead of continuing to have useful debate on why today isn't like yesterday and on what updates we need to make now.
With that interpretation, you'd be correct but I don't think you've ever been able to downgrade to something earlier than what it came with since the older OS wouldn't include the appropriate drivers or kexts to properly run the hardware.
Thanks for replying but, this only has RGB, multispectral measures a fair few more different wavebands, and hyperspectral scores more.
You did the right thing. This is not the right time for software developers to experiment with Apple Silicon, unless they’re willing to help develop software to work with Apple Silicon.
> try to mitigate the consequences in the even a war does occur!

in the case where mitigation is deemed acceptable, it would paradoxically make war more likely!

That's why a defensive missile shield technology is not a good investment if you want more peace. The existing MAD mantra is what stops nuclear war. It should continue until humanity unifies into a single world gov't.

This is yet another study flawed in the same way most HCL studies are flawed: they use hospitalization as criteria for inclusion in the study. Waiting for hospitalization, indeed any delay, is an error.

The original (and current) protocols for hydroxychloroquine mandate HCL+ZINC+AZITHROMYCIN EARLY (within the first few days of symptoms). Early aggressive treatment stops the virus (and minimizes bacterial infection that otherwise might follow), whereas waiting until the lungs are severely damaged and clogged results in failure.

In this study, as in almost all others, doctors waited until patients were in severe respiratory distress and had to be admitted to a hospital. Once admitted, patients waited even longer before they were admitted to the study and given treatment. From the article:

>"Design, Setting, and Participants This was a multicenter, blinded, placebo-controlled randomized trial conducted at 34 hospitals in the US. Adults hospitalized with respiratory symptoms from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection were enrolled between April 2 and June 19, 2020 ..."<

There is a difference between treatment within 1-3 days of occurrence and treatment 1-3 weeks after occurrence.

How do we interpret this next sentence as a continuation of the figure of speech? I can't seem to wrap my head around it sounding anything other than explicit.

That's not a direct quote so why put it in quotes?

We also have that in german, "es werden Köpfe rollen". No biggie.
It’s sad that trust and civility has devolved so low that nothing but the direct meaning of words and phrases is what’s considered incendiary. Clearly the expression “head on a pike” has historic metaphorical significance in the English language.

I’d argue that comments like this Maxine Waters gem instructing the general public to harass Trump administration officials in all manner of their public and private lives are much more dangerous yet they get a pass from 90% of the media and 100% of social media:

“Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
>The First Amendment has long outlived its utility when you compare the US to any other well-established democracy

What could you possibly mean by this? Can you provide any examples of how other nations have codified freedom of speech, expression, religion and peaceful assembly and in some different and superior way?
I mostly agree with your point here. But a lie can be very harmful, even if it is known to be a lie, if enough people either don't know it's a lie, or don't care. See "Blood libel" for perhaps the most extreme example.

This article is rich coming from a bureaucrat with a guaranteed salary and pension[0]. It's infuriating having to endure these asinine articles with a blatant disregard for basic economy and its central tenet: resources are scarce. Everything's free in their fantasy land, and they never see how that could be abused. I guarantee you they won't be living like that.

I don't need to read any article. The video is up in multiple places and I've seen it multiple times. The word 'behead' in any of its tenses is never used.
> The collapse of civilization and the destructive power of nuclear weapons is hyperbole now..?

No, extinction as a consequence is.

Modern civilisation as we know it will collapse. This was spun, by some people, into nuclear war will end humanity. That’s hyperbole.
It's not the middle ages any more, no one puts heads on a pike, literally. It's a figure of speech. Just like "getting the axe" is a figure of speech for getting fired.
I genuinely thought the same thing. I opened my MBP and it was sluggish, felt like it was dead. Browser wouldn't load, Zoom wouldn't load, I rebooted and the same problems persisted. I honestly thought the hardware was giving out.

I almost cannot believe the actual cause. Absolutely awful experience.
I recall discussing in school the Federalist Papers, and in general that the authors of those papers had opponents. I believe in particular some essays by Brutus arguing for a bill of rights were emphasized. What wasn't really mentioned in my school, at least, is a specific body of work called "The Anti-Federalist Papers". That might be because the collection and name is of fairly recent origin, dating only to the 1960s. The essays themselves are of course much older, but collecting them into a numbered series of essays mirroring the way the Federalist Papers are numbered is more recent.
Actually, yes. This is entirely reasonable. Hosting companies decided they didn't want 4chan or Stormfront or other hives of white supremacy and that's okay. Publishers are allowed to not publish a book. Fox News and CNN get to decide what guests are on their talking heads shows.

Facebook is not a public utility. It is not a dot gov. They can allow whatever content they want so long as it doesn't break the law.
Call for the assassination of the President on your verified, highly followed Twitter account and, when the Secret Service calls you up, ask them if they really believe you were literally saying it or if, as adults you can realize you were being hyperbolic.

There are some things we don’t give the benefit of the doubt for. Murdering public officials is one of them.

Like you said, they said those reprehensible words in the streets, where the First Amendment applies. If they do it on your property, you're free to kick them out.
> I am reminded yet again of a Jean-Paul Sartre quote from Anti-Semite and Jew.

Yeah, I'm also reminded of this quote whenever someone on the internet disagrees with me. Clearly they must be aware of "the absurdity of their replies".

Edit: Getting downvoted just reminds of that quote again. Clearly people are trying to "intimidate and disconcert me".

Yes, but I think the question motivating the study is "should we change standard guidelines?" and not "is exercise good?". Not least because exercise is very very good and rechecking that isn't a very high priority.

I know the HN crowd is going to make a number of posts making the argument that any moderation by social platforms is a slippery slope towards authoritarianism. I used to be one of these people, so understand the appeal of this argument to those of us that have libertarian inclinations. However, I think it's an argument that's easily made in theory, but doesn't hold up when tested against its actual consequences.

Specifically, I have consistently made the point that this argument is appealing due to it's simplicity and purity, but doesn't grapple with the actual consequences of allowing bad-faith actors to flood platforms with propaganda.

Here are links to news stories that show how Facebook has been used by the Myanmar military, and by Sinhalese nationalists in Sri Lanka to incite genocide and anti-muslim violence:
- https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/technology/myanmar-facebo...
- https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/05/13/sri-lanka-facebook...

I have updated my prior beliefs in free speech absolutism in the light of such events - some moderation is necessary due to the way social networks lends itself to exponentially amplify propaganda and disinformation in ways that, principled debate and discourse don't.

I would love to hear what the posters arguing about censorship think we should do about these specific instances.
Prostitution might be the last human occupation. ...poetics, I suppose, since it's often described as the first.

And here you touch on the real problem. By banning extreme people from the commons you send them all to cluster together somewhere else, where their views are met with support instead of derision, thus amplifying and intensifying the extremity of their views.

Steve Bannon on Facebook gets called out and shouted down. Steve Bannon on Parlor gets praised and encouraged. People on Parlor get positive feedback and begin to think their views are mainstream and reasonable. People on Facebook get negative feedback and at least have a chance to think "Hmm, maybe if everyone says I'm wrong about this, I should rethink it".

Yes, I know many people won't rethink it, but facing some opposition at least provides the possibility of that happening. Forcing everyone into a filter bubble of only their own views provides no possibility of that happening.
Ask HN: My boss says I over complicate things. What should I do?
I have about 5 years of professional programming experience and almost 3 has been with my boss. It's now nice side gig that I can work whenever. This side gig I'm the only developer. No CI or QA team. Low budget operation. I pretty much do everything development wise. There have been some bad deployments on my part, so I'm super cautious. He said

- I over complicate solutions
- I communicate too much
- my timeframe estimates for project completion are too long

I agree I am all of these, but I think it's because I'm so cautious.

What can I do?
Probably, but not if they threaten violence using them.

I guess I don't see that much of a difference between someone picking what are the best articles, news and videos to show by hand and someone designing an algorithm to do the same function. Their organization still has responsibility every time they choose to show some content over others.

I don't believe that when an algorithm is used, the output is suddenly not a function of human nature or human design. That suddenly no human has any responsibility for it.
Which is why his Facebook page later posted that he specifically called for those individuals' execution?
There is a pretty long list of Americans who've faced consequences for what they've said. Calling it "America's big problem" is hyperbole, and certainly not justification for overturning a founding principle of the country.
Well, first off, from the site guidelines:

>"Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."[1]

But to address your key point, I'd bet a lot of people are down-voting the grandparent's superior/condescending tone, as exemplified by the following fragments:

>"America’s big problem... yet Americans take it on faith... Americans simply cannot entertain"

> understand the appeal of this argument to those of us that have libertarian inclinations

I actually don't. Aren't property rights also important to libertarians? Shouldn't the idea that someone is entitled by law to use your property in a way you dislike be anathema to a libertarian?

More disturbing to me than Facebook, since I do not use it, is the visible subset of HN users who express complete solidarity with Trump-Bannon brand authoritarianism.

Funny, I'm working on a project about the same size, and the overly aggressive type and value restrictions are the main problem that I struggle with daily.
I'm guessing that Bannon's facebook page reported that this is what facebook gave as justification for banning him, not that that's what he actually meant.

"AI" is such a vague term we forget that it encompasses both horribly stupid industry/task specific systems as well as grand artificial minds that might one say dwarf all of human intelligence combined.

Meritocracy - government or the holding of power by people selected according to merit.

Every single person in that world IS selected for their role in society based on merit. There is no asterics attached there with +1 conditions.

I am not saying that it is a good system as a matter of fact I call it dystopian, only that everyone in it was rather content with their lives.
The amplifying point has been spreading in discussions.

Facebook, twitter must not amplify one content over another or it loses it's neutral status. If it begins make decisions based on what it prefers content wise it would lose a common carrier status and should be regulated like those other entities and not be treated as neutrual platform.
