> So what happens? How do we work this out where we can share society together?

What makes you think that's still even a reasonable expectation? Likely, there will be blood in the streets. Even if the leadership peacefully admits defeat to end the formal dispute, the radicalization on your side has, with the deliberate encouragement of rhetoric from the top, probably gone too far for there to be any reasonable expectation that that won't be where this ultimately ends for many of the foot soldiers.

And, the people on your side that have been seeking specifically a second civil and/or a race war may well still get what they have sought.
So you're whining that you can't make Youtube host your conspiracy theories for free? And that you can't ride of the back of their massive CDN infrastructure? Your biggest issue is that you are being excluded from someone else's assets and that you can't reach as many people through other alternatives at the same price point.
Bring questions, not conclusions is an interesting take. I usually like to bring solutions to my team but it makes sense that we should try to work through problems together.

Coming in hot with solutions might actually be a turn off..

Nice take, thanks for sharing!

Even set foot might be ok. Our employees sometimes visit CA for a day or two. That said, we have had employees that were in NY for a month and NY did require them to file. This actually prompted an interesting internal conversation on slack and I learned a lot today.
You can check my comnent history if you dont believe me, I am redder (as in commie) than 99.9% of the people here.

> who literally celebrates violence against the press and summary executions by the police.

He has never done that. Saying those thing undermines any good argument you may have. If you think I am being dense please provide a direct quotation of Trump cheering for summary execution by the police and I will shut my mouth. No, if you provide an actual quote of Trump celebrating a summary execution I will erase my account here and wont never return I promise you that.
There was [presentation](https://www.igvita.com/slides/2012/bigquery-github-strata.pd...) from the creator of gharchive.org and github employee (I guess) about open source metrics, based on github data

Here is an example using playground from this paper to calculate pull pull request latency (i.e. how much time user need after fork to submit a PR) -
https://tinyurl.com/github-popular-repo-pr-latency

(I wouldn't post here full query, since it is not that compact, but it is not complex)

It does not match with 2012:

>80%+ pull requests come in within 1 day of the fork

But new query calculates statistics only for popular repos.

I think if you look for trends among the people fleeing, that might be a clue. It is mostly libertarian, or right-wing egos: Ben Shapiro, Elon Musk, Alan Karp (Palantir) were the three mentioned in an Axios article today.

Something else, which is the whole point of section 230 in the first place.

You may disagree with the law, but it doesn't mean I have to agree with a bullshit dichotomy that hasn't been the state of reality for the last 25 years. Instead you have to convince me that state of reality is a bad one to be in.
It's a few days later, but here's a pretty extensive report on the Florida coverup from the Florida Sun Sentinel, titled "Secrecy and spin: How Florida’s governor misled the public on the COVID-19 pandemic"

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/coronavirus/fl-ne-coronavirus-f...

It doesn't directly state that hospitalizations numbers were actual lies, but it does demonstrate how the information was spun and presented in a very misleading way.
The recession started before the first lockdown.

Most people don't spend money on things/do stuff when they are afraid of dying while doing so. Hundreds of thousands of deaths due to uncontrolled population spread, randomly (nearly) amongst the population is going to cause the economy to crater - and even the possibility of it already did before any lockdowns happened.

The lockdowns just stopped the 25% (guess) of the population that is going to YOLO anyway from causing even more damage. The businesses were still going to get a huge hit regardless.

The bigger conversation isn't really about YouTube, it's that some people want these ideas suppressed from everywhere and some people don't. Youtube just happens to be more flexible than the government, but don't think for a second they're all going to draw the line if the government passes a law prohibiting saying those things. Legally enforced censorship is what many of them ultimately want.

On the other side of the coin, the anti-censorship people also want the government to prohit Youtube/FB/etc. from censoring their ideas. That's just as anti-freedom.
Exactly. Morality rises and falls. It's not an inevitable progress toward "better". Some new moral "innovations" lead to horrible moral outcomes, like when John Punch was turned from an indentured servant into a lifetime slave, presumably on the basis on his skin color.

And how to describe Nazism except as a moral abberation? That wasn't moral progress after the (already declining) morality of the Weimar republic.

And I'm getting weird dystopian vibes from a significant % of the present left. The moral crusading. The authoritarianism. The absolutism. The shaming. The religious ferver of its movements.

Accomplishes nothing but throwing Dean under the bus.

Pichai is a weak leader. The mob leads him around like a dog on a leash.

Pichai's email solves nothing but gives further fuel to the mob and will eventually result in his successor sending out an all-hands email that says something to the effect of "if you don't like it here, leave"

As for Dean, he should use this as his cue to leave and start his own company. The real talent would follow him.
On one hand, no, I don't think this would work, because part of what advanced adblockers like Ublock Origin allow is script insertion into pages and source rewrites when you request HTML pages. There's not a good, simple way I'm aware of to prevent data exfiltration in that kind of environment. Once I have the ability to change a page's source code before the browser loads it, I suspect I can kind of do anything.

On the other hand, that proposal would make it at least marginally harder for malicious scripts to go undetected, and it's at least as much (if not more) of an improvement to privacy than the system Manifest V3 is going with, given that V3 doesn't prevent request monitoring, network requests from extensions, or script injection into the page. And there are probably ways to implement what you're talking about without breaking a huge number of extensions.

So I don't think that's a solution, but it's significantly better than what Manifest V3 is trying to do.
If you're consistently wrong there's alpha even in that, just doing the opposite would work wonders.

Hmm I’m guessing that you are thinking of a different theory? Not believing in it in this case would mean not believing in any system of government which, I think we can say with a high degree of confidence, is not the case for most people in this thread. You do agree that we have surrendered our right to steal or to murder? Those are examples of an individual’s social contract with the state. If the answer is yes, than you believe in “social contract” theory.
Haha, rock on! (Looks great btw)
This is such an empty comment. All it does is whine about "partistanship" without addressing the fact that we have an ideology that has firmly become detached from reality.

>The methadone came around, and was used to treat heroin addiction. But, surprise! It turns out that just like heroin and cocaine, methadone itself can be addictive.

That's a little unfair to methadone. It is less addictive than heroin and morphine. But users figured out how to combine it with other drugs to get a stronger high, which led to some recreational abuse. It's sad that these maintenance programs are so widely disparaged when they are in fact valuable treatments for opioid use disorder supported by extensive medical evidence that are underutilized due to popular misconceptions and paranoia.

Brb... Gonna yell fire in a crowded theater.
Hacker News would actually be the opposite if I was going to go single-sided with it. I don’t normally participate in the conversations but I love reading them.

This conversation though just happened to touch on something I’ve been experimenting with so I was compelled to comment.

That said, give me the read only client for HN (I know this exist already) :)
So, you’re running a small restaurant, and are fine with it staying small, as long as you can make a living. You publish all your recipes under a permissive license.

A restaurant chain starts selling your dishes, using your name, but, because of their scale, cheaper than you can afford to.

If you still manage to make money, you may be fine with that, but that’s where the correspondence breaks.

In real life, that restaurant chain offers a better product, not because its dishes are better, but because its restaurants are in better locations (have faster network connections), are closer to cinemas and theaters (they offer a zillion other products), etc., and, unlike with restaurants, you can’t make money by branding yourself as “the original”.

I don’t see that smaller restaurant staying in business, unless it starts making new recipes it keeps for itself.
Sure there is an issue. Apple just won't add support for them.
>We're not intelligent enough to view a video and decide for ourselves what is fact v. propaganda v. entertainment.

You're being sarcastic but growing up we used to joke around saying "I saw it on the internet so it must be true" and now a significant portion of the population actually uses this as a guideline for truth.
> I didn't say we were the best, just that we are doing better than some who are throwing much more money at the problem.

US spend 3 billions, France only 800 millions but was spending much less

> As the news of homelessness steadily increased in the country, the French government increased the budget from 305 million euros to 820 million euros between 2012 and 2017

While the US

> First, HUD's Homeless Assistance Grants received an additional $130 million compared with FY 2017, bringing total funding to $2.513 billion.

> Congress should invest in proven solutions to homelessness by providing at least $3.1 billion for Homeless Assistance in FY 2021. This represents a $323 million increase over the FY 20 level

If we compare the population they are spending the same amount, but France is facing (as most of the Mediterranean EU countries) a huge migration from Africa, that brought millions of people in just 10 years.

> the trend line at least since 2007 is very much downward.

It's only 13% better 647,000 in 2007 Vs 567,000 in 2019

Also, COVID hit in 2020, not in 2018.

It's never been about budget alone, but what each country does with that budget.

Most of the US spending is not helping the homeless situation, it's simply trying to hide it without much success.

The original point is that given how much money US has to spend and how much money they are throwing at the "problem" the results are underwhelming at best.

Maybe trying something different could change things.
Yeah I've only seen them on video actually but I know how they work. What I don't like about them apart from being very expensive to install is that I don't want to touch anything in the bathroom, especially the toilet. Loodio is totally automatic.

In the long run I think you're correct, but just looking at how poorly the Boomers and even Gen Xers are adjusting to modern forms of media, I'd say it's safe to assume it will take a generation or even two before media literacy with regards to video is properly adjusted among the general public, at which point, who knows what kind of tech will be available?

As a Developer at Tutuka you'll be working closely with the entire technical team to build enterprise-level, highly scalable, highly secure financial processing systems that power tens of millions of transactions and tie them to web, mobile and API interfaces that make it easy for people to issue, redeem and reconcile prepaid cards all over the world. We already have a team of amazing developers around the world and now we need you!
We are not big on buzzwords. Right now we are heavy users of ColdFusion, SQL Server, JQuery, HTML5.

We also use Java, Ruby, React and Redis, however many of our developers come from programming backgrounds outside of our preferred stack (PHP, Python) and we like that.

As long as you can solve problems and are self-motivated, you can learn from our team and our team can learn from you.

Buzzwords aside, we are big on acronyms. Regardless of the stack, you'll be delving into the creative depths of EMV, NFC, HCE, HSMs, ISO-8583, MDES, P2M, MCBP, PINs, CVVs, 3DS, SUKs, JWT, BASE II, JPOS, MIP, DEX, TSMs, BINs, ICAs, TPP, PCI DSS, AML and KYC.

If these sound familiar to you already, or these are acronyms that would excite you, then you'll spend every day stimulated and challenged at Tutuka.

Let’s not forget to mention that we work to Agile principles of user stories, scrums and sprints.

You left out Spyder and his SpiderFoot scan indicating that Iran was voting directly in the election using its access to Dominion voting machines. How could this not reach SCOTUS?
I like the premise, but what do we call it? Engineering-driven work doesn't take into account the trade-offs between speed and quality.

Often engineering teams are pushed to work faster at the expense of the quality or by cutting reasonable corners on flexibility of the system.

How do you describe this to outside stakeholders?

I feel like the correlation between speed and quality should be taken into account, which is why tech debt makes sense. It's the debt you accumulate as you build software.

With that said, I'm not a big fan of the name either
That isn't as good a firewall as one might imagine. Organizations like ALEC push through lots of abusive crap at state and municipal levels. They've got their fingers in hundreds of pies at the same time. If locals aren't paying attention, they can have the laws in force and be on to the next town before anyone realizes what happened.
It would be downright foolish to want a basement in Houston.

I can see how bringing conclusions to the conversation would look like I'm telling you what to do as opposed to discussing options and how to improve.
As a practical matter, how is this different from copyright enforcement?

Simply disabling downloads is not enough, they would need either an effective DRM system, or to kill off third party downloaders such as youtube-dl. I'm sure the RIAA would love to be able to go after youtube-dl on child porn charges instead of just cppyright charges.

They could attempt to implement a content-ID system to detect re-uploads. I suspect this could work better for child porn than copyright, because you will not have adversarial parties trying to claim that you uploaded their child porn.

The difficulty in such an approach is that the mere possession of child porn is a crime, which makes developing and maintaining such a technology far more difficult and expensive (even with the law enforcement support that would be necessary to make such development legal).

The more insideous effect is that putting this requirement on pornhub also puts requirements on every platform supporting user generated material. In order to avoid getting caught up in the child-porn minefield it creates, platforms would need to censor all porn and porn-adjecent content.
Those were mostly covering obligations in the huge CDS market that grew up around bad loans, not the loans themselves.
Finally, someone!

A private company doing content moderation & censorship is not a violation of the free speech amendment.

Freedom of expression is not freedom to use any platform or service -- it is protection against state level actors.
I was also thinking that the person I replied to was getting their anecdotal data from drug user groups or communities or online "how to trip" wikis, but I understand that I'm biased. I was just calling to attention that it may be wiser to get your information from people actually gathering data in an unbiased way and from large populations.

That being said, ketamine__, I do agree with your general statement about some drug users thinking their use makes them smarter or wiser, it's a common indication of addiction though. Specially among people that are highly functional among society or in disciplines like engineering or the sciences.
I guess you're assuming a hash set and ignoring collisions?

So you fill the set with in O(1*N), again loop through the (original?) list assuming its O(N) to do so searching the set for replacements?

So at least a few passes through every element.

You could actually reduce this by excluding elements as you insert. You don't need to fill your search space with with anything that has a "b" for example, eliminating inserts.

Okay, so if the total rejected ballot data isn't available what is your basis for claiming that it did happen? The burden of proof rests on the accuser. In any case we know that the signature rejection rates for Georgia in past elections were low.

What do you mean we don't have definitive results? Biden's win was certified by the states in the last week, in accordance with the law. It will only get more definitive when the electoral college votes next week. This is nothing new in the U.S., it's the way the process works.

Gonna ignore that one.

> I used to work for a top NL based company and this situation was often discussed around the office that NL companies are abusing expat workers promising them riches and instead using them for 2-3 years then rotating them with new workers until they get fed up with this and move back to their home countries

I really haven't experienced this at all. Tons of expats I know are on permanent contract (btw - many employers offer a permanent contract after 1-1.5 years if they're happy with the emplyoee, at least that's what I see in tech). Of course people in the hotel/entertainment business may have a different experience. I bet flex work is more common there.

> That actually sounds legit bad IMHO if mental issues are the becoming the norm in employment relationships.

I didn't say mental issues are the norm in the Netherlands, lol. Far from it, it's one of the happiest countries in the world according to research. I'm just saying - the law enables you to take a LONG paid leave if you have burnout. Now some employees actually get burned out, and some are probably abusing it a bit. When you're protecting employees there'll always be people who dishonestly try to take advantage.
Can you please remind me what website we're having this discussion on?
