> So ultimately you prioritize what might be described as "collective health" over generalized notions of freedom. Is that "pretty anti censorship", as this question of negative externalities is always the point of contention for censoring anything is it not?

I'm not falling hard on this. I'm presently living in the tension between free speech ideals and collective political health, and I don't purport to have any great answers.

> I'd agree with this framing, though if one goes down this route, all sorts of instances of "freedom" and individual choice would be called into question on grounds of it's effect on overall societal health.

Agree, I think this is completely valid and I think we see a lot of this already in the cancel culture movement--lots of perfectly reasonable, healthy debate is suppressed as "possibly harmful". It's a real concern.

> And this calls into question the efficacy of "truth" and objective facts. At some point people simply have different value judgments about what is true, or for which other things to carve out exceptions which take precedence.

I don't buy this. I think even conspiratorialists are perfectly capable of reasoning (reasonably) well when it doesn't conflict with their political allegiance. In my opinion, the issue is that some people know full well that they're being dishonest, but they simply don't care--they value the truth less than they value their political tribe. And please note that I think there are plenty of people on both sides of the aisle who put party above truth--this isn't me punching at Republicans or conservatives or whomever while pretending that my ideological compatriots are perfectly behaved (that would make me quite the hypocrite!)--although it wouldn't be appropriate to litigate that here.
Even if they meant Russian hacking influenced people enough to flips 70k votes, that's still unsupported conjecture worded in way that strongly implies actual hacking of votes.

Calling it 70k votes makes it sound small, but its more like 1% of voters. 1% of voters making their mind up based on TRUE stories about inside baseball at the DNC? Unrealistic. I bet 99% of voters couldn't even tell you what the emails were about.

And that's without considering the negative affects of the Democrats attacking Trump for being in bed with Russia, which probably cost him votes too.

I moved from the Bay Area (lived there 2 years) to Seattle (well, Bellevue) a few years ago. I had two elementary schoolers and a toddler. The main reason was that although I was paid fairly well, we would never be able to buy a house. So every year was a race between my raise and rent increases. We lived in a pretty decent school district, but it was difficult to move with in the same district, let alone the same school. I was looking at my oldest entering middle school and I didn't want her to have to face the prospect of changing schools every 1-2 years.

Our situation in California let us offer everything except stability. Younger kids are fine anywhere as long as their parents are involved, but older kids benefit from social stability so they have time and space to define who they are.
How is it [the president making baseless claims] dangerous for democracy? What if the opposite is true? What if censoring thoughts is the real danger for democracy?

I am not saying I have proof for any of this. But I guess, that's true for your claim, too. I think it would be wise to rephrase it so that it doesn't sound like a fact.

He's saying there's something wrong with getting fooled by a series of valid logical assertions into thinking the original axiom applied to the context in which one is making it... there are "unknown unknowns". There's something wrong with trusting that principled thinking will always hold because it held before, in what might have been a different context.

He's not debunking the validity of the chain of truth statements, but "first principles thinking"...letting this logic guide one down a path that doesn't comport with reality (which might have context one is unaware of).

I think it matches up with incompleteness quite well.

Any set of axioms can never tell you for sure if you're in a context that has other missing and more valid axioms.

You can modify your axioms with experience, but then you're back in the position of not knowing if this is the final set of axioms that will always comply with reality.

Partisanship has leaked into this thread.. What if the tables were turned? As a non-American, it disappoints me to read some of these comments. Defending your side at all costs. I wish there was more balanced comments, acknowledging points on each side. The inability to concede to anything makes for ugly discussion. Whatever side you are on, stubbornness and hostility is not a good strategy to convince the other side.

Yes, by cryptographic signature. DKIM was verified. Some senders/recipients also provided human verification.

Censorship is why you didn't already know this. It should have been major news, being the headline story everywhere for a week. It passed by here quietly, on Hacker News, and was quickly flagged.

You're left with an incomplete view of the world that is very misleading. People everywhere are using this warped view of reality to make world-changing decisions.
Conversely, others could say that the CCPs removing of generally harmful and false content isn't really comparable to YouTube’s suppression of opposing views.

The difference isn't that some third party observer thinks that what YouTube is suppressing is “harmful and false” while what the CCP is suppressing is opposing views that are neither, in that estimation, harmful nor false, but that YouTube isn't the state and people in the geographic region served by YouTube have alternate sources of content that are not subject to YouTube’s editorial decisions, while those in the region “served” by the CCP have all information sources subjected to (at least by policy, if not always completely successful) the same editorial oversight.
You cant, that is why the US is not a democracy nor should it become one

The US is a constitutional republic who's institution where designed in a way that the ONLY democratic part of that system of governance was the US House of representatives

Unfortunately for those that like individual freedom and see democracy as mob rule (people like myself) there is a strong push for more and more democracy into the system which is a net negative for individual liberty. Things like abolishing of electoral collage, even past changes like Electing Senators via Popular vote have been a net negative for liberty

I don’t think the libertarian model requires people to be rational, it rather give people the room to develop their rationality ... to be adults exercising choice, which includes sometimes being biased or just wrong.
No, the cost structure of fusion is going to be much like fission: the cost of building the reactor has to be spread over time (with interest). Even though the fuel is cheap, you are (in a financial sense) 'burning' the reactor, which is expensive and must be bought up front. We don't know for sure how it will work out, but none of the predictions I've seen show fusion producing dramatically lower cost of electricity.
The issue is not really specific to this pair of LaTeX styles, in my experience.

I'm not sure why you call the style broken: the final result looks fine, and DJB didn't have to fix any errors in the style itself, only in his document. (Also, the author of the style is a translator and co-author of IMO the best introductory book on TeX—comes highly recommended by Hans Hagen in the ConTeXt manual too, as “the book that turns every beginner into an expert”—though of course LaTeX conventions are a different beast and it's possible that the expertise doesn't carry over.)

Rather, my experience is that for any nontrivial document, simply changing the LaTeX style (\documentclass) from one to another (like amsart to msripub here, or just one journal's house style to another independent one) is unlikely to be enough; the amount of work required is likely to be much more than the indicated “two minutes”.

So what that story points out is that one of the promises of LaTeX (that particular one, of being able to change styles easily) doesn't hold up too well in practice (not many people try it), and the fact that this page starkly shows the typical results one would get on trying is what makes it sting IMO. Or at least so I imagine (I'm not much of a LaTeX fan, more of a plain TeX one).
I find that both tastes are awful. The problems Wathan points out in that blog post are real, but the solution he came up with is a different kind of awful.

That same group questioning elections 1) has spent 4 years decrying the questioning of an election 2) actively prevented measures being taken to secure elections and 3) hasn't come up with any proof of vote changes.

> Pre-Alpha test

THIS IS NOT SOFTWARE! I cannot believe I continue to see this complete ignorance smugly repeated on HN. The vaccine has undergone three phases of testing including large scale release. It's been "baked" since January, the only things fine tuned have been the exact dose of the mRNA. Given the effectiveness, it's highly unlikely we'll see a v1.1 anytime soon, if ever, but if we do it would likely have to go through similar levels of testing and would be just as "pre-alpha" as this.

> On top of it you still have to wear the mask it doesn't stop you spreading the virus.

Other comments have already dealt with why we'll still need to use masks.

> it doesn't stop you spreading the virus. It just reduces the severity for the people vaccinated.

We're still waiting on final data on how much vaccinated people will decrease the spread, but everything we've seen so far indicates that eventual severity of illness correlates very closely with how likely you are to infect others. Even if this wasn't true, reducing severity is huge since universal vaccination would then allow the virus to spread with reduced health effects savings hundreds of thousands of lives.
If you're hosting a party, it's not only your right to determine what kinds of behavior and conversations are allowed and not allowed, it's your duty to do so.

YouTube gets to decide what's on their platform. As an organization, they have decided that the election fraud stuff is not only false, but harmful. That's not only their right, it's their duty.
You’re misunderstanding the purpose of this JSON/HTML combination, and I get the impression you’re probably not familiar with how screen readers work, either. The JSON is purely transient, being projected to the HTML DOM. The JSON has no standard semantics; the idea is that it should be whatever shape makes sense for your use case, and then that you should use JavaScript to project it to HTML. Think of it as a server-side templating language that takes a bag of data and decides how to write the HTML, except that the document is the data, plus an extra piece that embeds the template to apply to the data.

The web is pretty much best-in-class for accessibility matters. (There are a few isolated cases where native desktop or mobile apps can do better, mostly to do with efficiency.) HTML elements have defined semantics, so that things like headings and links are automatically navigable, and sections, headers, footers and navigation lists become waypoints. Then ARIA attributes can be used to provide any further metadata necessary, such as to mark up a tabs widget to show how to interact with it. And that’s still key—accessibility needs to care about interactions (which tab is open? and did the content available change?), so state matters. Thus, accessibility tools will never care about any format that you are projecting from, like this JSON; they must only care about what is materialised, which is the HTML DOM. (Besides all that, the only sort of “consistent JSON format” that you could have would be basically an encoding of the HTML, which would be verbose and subjectively ugly compared to the HTML serialisation, e.g. ["a", {"href": "/"}, ["Home"]] or {"tagName": "a", "href": "/", "children": ["Home"]} instead of <a href="/">Home</a>, and miss the whole point here that the JSON is representing data rather than what the user sees.)

If you’re not familiar with accessibility stuff, I heartily recommend looking into it. If you can, find a blind person and see if you can watch them using a computer or phone. It’s really fascinating (I’ve never seen anyone be bored by it) and super useful if you ever contribute to making just about anything on a computer. Even people making documents in a word processor can learn things like “use actual headings rather than just making the text bigger and bold, because the semantics are useful”.

They care more than zero, but about feature completeness more than speed. Keeping in mind that their leading competitor (AWS) leaned heavily on CLI, providing web frontends is seen as a competitive advantage.

But they're far more focused on spanning feature set than the speed of the result.
> Hopefully some day we will have the same protections the CCP gives its people

Do you not see the contradiction inherent in this? Your implied argument is that people are smart enough to see through propaganda, and your example is China, a society shaped by an extremely effective propaganda machine.
Sure. It wouldn't be open source any longer, tho.
The court case record is a decent barometer. The fact that the Trump campaign's cases have almost unanimously tossed out quickly tells us that reality is likely one of two:

1. They have approximately no evidence of anything substantive.

2. All of the courts in all of the states where this is happening are conspiring against the President. Including those with Republican-appointed judges.

Can I argue that it must be #1 the same way I can use the laws of physics to argue that a hammer will fall to the ground when I drop it? No. Is it WAY beyond my own reasonable doubt? Yep.
I've found UberEats to be a similarly mixed bag with timing (and the only service where I've had the driver steal the food).

Pre-pandemic eats drivers would also almost never come to the door or get out of the car. Doordash drivers tend to be find the door more reliably in my experience and the service is usually more reliable.

They're all a kind of weird business for me - I don't see how the margins work, but I use them sometimes because it's convenient. Usually if I use something then I'd be willing to buy stock for it, but I don't really want to here.

It feels like the 'we have massive revenue, sure we're losing money on every sale, but we'll make it up in volume' kind of company. IPO, take your cash out and then leave it to die in the public's hands.
Rumble has been positioning themselves as a censorship-free alternative to youtube. Granted, they have a very long way to go, but it's definitely a start.
This is the result of public pressure, not an attempt to cozy up to an administration. They've been doing this for years, it's not like this is some out of left field attempt to try and get a fruit basket from the Biden admin.
Also commercial entities using these open source products for profit doesn't sound like it would fit either. A commercial entity is not a hacker.
Cue all the champions of capitalism and small government begging the government step in to force a private business to do something.
This isn't about convincing people there's nothing to see, it's about preventing more people from being onboarded to the idea that there's something to see.
> but much harder to justify banging on public companies for trying to increase revenue

I assure you, it is very easy to be unhappy with a company for screwing over its users, even if they think it might net them more revenue (bonus points for this being a questionable assumption)
> Yet another dishonest and poorly functioning company.

So, a company?
>Yes, that quote says that the Mueller investigation failed.

It says nothing of the sort, it actually agrees with the Mueller investigation, and only adds to its legitimacy.

Nothing that you quoted points towards collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials. There were contacts with Russians from both the DNC and RNP, but once again:

> a lack of sufficient evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to impact the outcome of the 2016 election.

Lack of evidence that Trump conspired. There is no collusion.

Thanks for proving my point with your source.
Like a lot of things, it's pretty simple once you get over the learning curve. I do these setups all the time, so it's like doing the dishes for me.

K8s may not be the best option for every project, but my original point was that choosing it ought not blow out the budget or delivery window of a project. Maybe, you might shave a week or two off a greenfield project by going with something like Elastic Beanstalk, but in the scheme of things that's a rounding error.

To put things in perspective, a typical deployment for a small app requires 3-4 short configuration files specific to K8s plus your Docker container.

Furthermore, you'd generally still use the cloud managed services like Elastic Cache and RDS when developing K8s applications. I was merely using a Postgres as an example in my mini-not-quite-a-tutorial before.

So yeah, if Elastic Beanstalk is working for you and you think the tradeoff between flexibility and simplicity is right for your project, then keep doing what you're doing.
Every country should make English their second official language like Ireland and Malta.

I put it in quotes because I observed people on both sides of the issue being convinced of "their" truths.

To me, the issue of how to effectively reach a general consensus in these matters is even more important than who is right or wrong. It is my personal opinion that this can only be achieved through transparency and openness, but, as always, I am my own harshest critic, so I entertain that I might be wrong.
(I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice)

I left California for Nevada many years ago, and I subsequently sold stock I accumulated while in California without paying state income tax.

It is legal and you can do it, but there are a lot of legal hurdles. They're pretty well documented around page 5 of FTB 1031 [1].

In my case, I quit my W2 job in California, entered into a contract to lease a home in NV, got rid of all leased or owned real estate in CA, sold or re-titled all motor vehicles from CA, registered to vote in NV, surrendered my CA driver license for a new NV license, re-titled all my financial accounts at my new address, got a NV phone number, etc.

This was all easy because I was single without children. If my situation was more complicated, like I had a spouse or ex-spouse with children enrolled in CA schools, or decided to retain owned real estate in CA, the situation can quickly fall into a gray zone.

If you have a W2 job in CA while claiming you're in NV, it's very hard to escape the CA FTB.

CA is very aggressive about chasing down its former residents. It's important to check all the boxes to get them from chasing you.

After I left, I filed non-resident CA returns for three years basically saying, "I had income but I am not a resident and it was not from a CA source, therefore I owe no CA tax." This is important because it starts the statute of limitations running. If you don't file, the statute of limitations doesn't start.

And while I'm writing all this: what in the world is up with a 13.3% state tax bracket? Screw California.

Islam's Zakat system provably works. Just read history.

> If Bezo's was forced to liquidate say 2% of his ownership in Amazon to satisfy his wealth tax

Except nothing I explained about Islam's Zakat laws force anyone to liquidate in the manner you're describing. Note I said cash money. Stocks are not cash money, and hence will not be taxed in the same way I explained. Ownership in companies is subject to things like debt, which will reduce the amount of money paid out.

Islam's Zakat is different from the wealth tax some leftists are trying to push today as you're describing.

Thankyou for the clarification. In that case, Elon would need to move his businesses from California to Texas as well. In the mean time, I'm trying to figure out how are non California employees are not paying CA taxes. I suspect that he won't be paying CA taxes on his personal income.
I'm not sure that newspapers have ever been perfectly competitive. Even in my midwest, midsized city, there has really only been one or two newspapers that achieve enough circulation.

Similarly, major television media has always locked out socialist and communist points of view in the United States.

This idea that only Google suddenly has a point of view in their editing what they allow on the platform seems really strange to me.
