I badly miss my old PowerMac 8600 -- I filled that sucker with RAM and had a big, persistent RAM disk to boot from, and it ran MachTen (for Emacs) and everything else I needed for work (CodeWarrior) and of course, it was the best Myth II machine ever made.

Sigh.

Evidence that there is room for improvement in HN's user interface.
Yes, every censor claims to be doing it for the common good. The Catholic Church had its Index of Prohibited Books supposedly to protect innocent souls from heresy, and likewise in various Communist countries past and present the censorship is there supposedly to stop the spread of counterrevolutionary propaganda. The modern Western world, in theory based on Enlightenment ideals, traditionally rejected such arguments, because they believed the answer to bad information was good information. While I am not a fan of "populist" movements that reject evidence, I frankly fear the efforts to suppress them more.
Question: Why is this a threat to democracy, but previous censorship wasn't?

There's always been an expectation of truthfulness in communication: We don't allow people to go around claiming that Pepsi causes AIDS, or cures cancer. You're not allowed to claim you're collecting for a charity, and then keep all the money for yourself. I doubt you'd be terribly okay with me claiming that you're a murderer and asking how much that biases your stance.

(Genuinely trying to understand if there is something that makes this different from any other sort of fraudulent communication - I don't see people defending the other stuff under the guise of "Free Speech", and I'm not clear why this would be different)
All metaphors are learned. Given that technology tend to replace things from the manual physical world these metaphors makes a lot of sense as they help humans transition.

Over time new concepts emerge which are based on metaphors native to the digital space and understood by the new generations.
I’ll take it because I don’t have much other choice. I know my current employer is going to be asking me to fly to 10+ cities this year because I’m “essential” and I don’t want to risk being asymptomatic and spreading it to my less-than-healthy parents.

You do realize that capitalism co-opts everything and that women entering the workforce led to two people now earning what a single person used to? What's more, I'm not really sure the women cooking in those villages hate it as much as you put on them.

That's not to say we don't all deserve self-determination but the story we were sold, of ultimate freedom for everyone, is just a new wage-slavery for everyone.

The fact that my original post was [flagged] so quickly is proof that it's impossible to have a substantive discussion regarding Trump on HN.

To everyone who flagged that post: thanks for proving my point.

Many of you claim to be anti-censorship and yet have no hesitation to censor what is intended to be a constructive post.
Yes, you're right, I over-simplified. Many of them are (or have) meteorologists. To give the data itself a pretty face (interpretation). But that's not the primary reason that news stations hire "weather people". If it was, they would just contract out to some other company.
> - GMO, again, same point above. "Sure you can have this great crop, no seeds". Again, GMO per say isn't bad, its the implementation that's bad.

Alright, how much range do you get in an ID.3 that’s the same price as the base Model 3?

EDIT: Also, WLTP vs. EPA range isn't apples to apples, EPA is something like 10-20% more conservative, and that's what Tesla quotes, at least on their US site. I can't seem to find EPA range results for ID.3, maybe because it's not available in the US yet? And to be clear, I'm really happy that VW appears to be pushing into EVs in a bigger way than most of the big car companies. I wish they all would. But I think they're a ways from taking the limelight.
>algorithms are too effective

How effective are they? Just because social media keeps promoting people who promote those ideas doesn't mean they're actually widely and strongly held.

If you really care about misinformation, you'd be more worried about Islam which is explicitly sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-science, and supremacist and those beliefs aren't just written in a book somewhere, they're held by most common Muslims. How are we going to eliminate that with censorship when the censors themselves believe it's a good belief? We need smarter people to have the power of censorship so they can distinguish the truly dangerous beliefs from the transient swings of popular culture.
Better parties sounds like they could end stalemate between billionaires. Both voting blocs have legitimate concerns that need better addressing.
Companies will say "Everyone can work remote!" for a year or so, but small startups will work together in an office, and they will be more productive. As they make progress and competition increases, all other companies will drop WFH and enforce going into the office.

There's a large swath of people who want to work in an office for many different reasons. I don't think it's going away.

I believe (but am not fully sure for all of those states) that they already were, and were rejected by the highest state courts in those states. The Supreme Court will almost certainly defer to the state's highest courts when it comes to interpreting that state's election laws.

> That may be true, but the policy we were discussing (property tax funding education as an example of 'every policy being racist') affects large portions of both whites and minorities, and thus does not make it a racist.

Affecting large portions of both whites and minorities hasn't generally prevented anything from being labeled racist, if they affect minorities differently than white people (as a whole, not a specific subset).

And voter literacy requirements continue to be of the same kind. You can argue that neither is bad because neither is really racist, but then you can have voter literacy requirements. You can argue that both are bad because both are racist, but then you can't have public schools funded by property tax, or even public schools at all, because after all we're talking about avoiding things over their historical implementations even if other implementations are possible.

What I haven't seen is a consistent case that you can have one and can't have the other.

Are you implying that it happening has had nothing to do with the inflammation of racial tensions by elites and media organizations?

Supreme Court dismisses bid led by Texas attorney general to overturn the presidential election results, blocking Trump’s legal path to reverse his loss

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a long-shot bid by President Trump and the state of Texas to overturn the results in four states won by Democrat Joe Biden, blocking the president’s legal path to reverse his reelection loss.

The court’s unsigned order was short: “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot.”

Justices Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Clarence Thomas, as they have in the past, said they did not believe the court had the authority to simply reject Texas’s request. “I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.”

Trump, who has appointed three of the court’s nine members, has long viewed the Supreme Court as something of an ace-in-the-hole, and called for the justices to display “courage” and rescue him in post-election litigation.

[...]

The states said Texas’s claims were hypocritical and cynical. Although Texas said in a filing that it “does not ask this court to reelect President Trump,” the suit does not ask the court to discount the votes in any state Trump won where state officials and courts altered voting procedures because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Among those states are Texas itself, where the governor made changes.
As a programmer with decades of experience, it took me half a year to get Clojure, and I had to unlearn a lot. Reading books is not enough, one has to do programming exercises with the language.

So I agree that it is harder for experienced people than for young kids fresh from school.
You're correct in principle, but when weighing the "unknown long term risks" of a vaccine versus the "unknown long term risks" of COVID itself it really needs to be an apple to apples comparison.

We know both the virus and the vaccine will be out of your system within a short period of time. So any long term effects would have to be derived from what happens while they're in your system. The vaccine generates a few proteins, which your immune system learns to fight off in short order. The virus generates similar proteins, but continues to replicate many times over, attacking your cells and triggering a much more severe immune response as it goes.

So while there are unknown long-term risks for both, I think it is pretty safe to say the number of vectors for long term consequences are much more numerous with the virus.
> Playing most games require accounts.

No it does not. Most games are not multiplayer games and don't require accounts.

> Downloading games is greatly enhanced by accounts.

It's greatly enhanced by accounts _with the application vendor_ not the device manufacturer. I'd be quite upset if AMD required an account to be able to download Steam games. I _was_ quite upset when a(n offline only) game I bought on Steam required a Games for Windows Live account I didn't was.

> There is nothing anti-privacy about an 'account'. Someone having an arbitrary email address doesn't constitute a breach of privacy.

I said anti-consumer, not anti-privacy. Online only is also cancer, which is what requiring an account effectively is.

So what happens when you have a group phone call? Should the telephone company be able to listen in and censor those as it wishes?

The parallel is phone companies in the past did listen in to people’s conversation, but this was recognised as an abuse of a monopoly power. Regulations were introduced to stop this sort of activity.

What we should be discussing is how to regulate natural monopolies like YouTube, not if they should be able to just do whatever they like. Like all regulation there will need to be a balance, but society has a vested interest in ensuring natural monopolies are not abusing their power.

Even if YouTube is not abusing its power, the fact it can is a concern.

Further, even if the citizen ostensibly advocates the wrong belief, or say are persuaded by an adversary, that belief becomes the legitimate value of the population regardless of the reason—-as democracy is purposed to obligate government to pursue the values of its citizens.

I’ve been to a country with a dictatorship with a faux democracy and no free speech. I asked the minister of journalism & communications whether he believes that free speech is possible in a democracy. He unabashedly said no, as there is no guarantee the “consensus” will be “correct”, especially given the influence of its adversaries.
>> Trump was a huge driver of turnout. I don't think the republican party is quite as strong without him on the ticket.

Neither are the Democrats without a clear enemy. Many left-leaning people voted Biden as an anti-Trump vote.

I have heard that there have been one or two difficult individuals in certain segments of the FP community, especially 5-10 years ago. I understand that this caused the Scalaz/Cats split.

Its definitely a factor, most people I know out here who bale run multiple tractors so they can handle one or two in the shop if it's during a critical time.

We've got a Kubota CUT, when rats chewed out the writing harness we were 4 weeks before we had it up and running even with insurance + dealership.

Personally I'd love to see someone come in and clean house. Weight and torque are the two things you want in a tractor and electric has both in spades. I think tractors in the CUT space where hydrostatic transmission are common would make a really good fit since you can basically eliminate the HST.
I think the EU made a really good computer system with the VAT, it’s way easier than sales taxes accros state borders.

For curious people: every business entity has a VAT number. VAT has to be paid to the customer’s country (for individuals), the computer system tells you the country rate when you establish the bill. When it’s time to pay, you tell your own government how much you collected for each country and give them the loot. And the countries settle their VAT bills at the state level.

Your red tape doesn’t grow with the number of countries you did business with. And there is no sneaky “you opened a tax nexus here, because you looked at me funny, and now you need a local accountant to sort it out”.
Perhaps part of your failing is expecting things to appear for words you never searched for. I don't expect the world's knowledge from now until time immemorial to equivocate "Face" with a 10 year social fad.

Granted it's not one of the behemoth's that I see in the Midwest. But I would see a 10 hour run time as a limitation. My friends who raise corn & beans have described their work as being like flying a small plane: Hours of boredom capped off at the ends by a few moments of sheer terror. The opportunities to plant and harvest are dictated by the weather, and when it's good, they want to be running their machines around the clock if possible. Bad weather is a mess -- it multiplies effort and breakdowns exponentially.

Do you have a picture of the plow? I can't imagine it has more than say... three bottoms, if we're being generous. American farmers need more than that. This summer I had to really crank a 90hp tractor to pull a fairly small set of discs. 30hp is a lawnmower.
For years I specifically used a separate emacs daemon for ERC because I don't really know how to perfectly cleanly update a given package in a running emacs in-place, and I wanted to keep my IRC uptime (and I'm not using a bouncer for some reason). So I would just leave ERC running in a daemon for the machine's entire uptime without ever updating any of its packages.

This is giving me nostalgia for when I used to use bitlbee + libpurple and have all my chat+irc in a single client (ERC). Good times.
This is all the result of confusing 1st amendment rights with the right to access the audience that gathers at a particular URL.

> NOW HAVE ENOUGH SLAVES TO WORK FOR ME WHERE EVERYONE ELSE HAS NOTHING WHEN THEY REACH PARADICE

Anyone care to share where the idea of your victims in this life become slaves in the next came from? I'm curious about that and I remember that idea was also shared by one US killer that massacred at an elementary school.
The parent post took some linguistic shortcuts, but I'll mention for completeness (and in case you're genuinely confused) that "the existence of God" is not a concept the scientific method can or should be applied to, because it is not possible to falsify that claim. A better phrasing of the sentence would be "If there is a falsifiable idea that so far has not been falsified, it may be considered established scientific fact." Scientific progress occurs not just by discovering new tenets, but by disproving incorrect ones, and nobody's come up with an objective test for the presence or absence of the Divine.

Emotions flare because faith is a deeply personal issue, but from a lab protocol standpoint it's not a testable hypothesis, and thus not really worth arguing about.
