You've been reading too many old pulp-fiction stories about the Cold War. In the USA, if you can find a willing and gullible publisher [0], you can write a book about just about anything. The actual things that you can't publish [1] are very specific: You can publish a recipe for how to refine uranium, for example, just not in enough detail to allow anybody with a few million dollars to start their own nuclear program.

But, more importantly, we live in today. "full P2P blockchain" and "underground communities of intellectuals" are word salad; if you want to publish without restrictions, Bittorrent has been around for over a decade and is generally not blockable, and Sci-Hub is an aboveground rebellion of intellectuals against the publishers.

You're whining because a DNS registrar, and one of incredibly poor reputation for what it's worth, has chosen to stop hosting a violent hate group. But your own personal ability to publish, and indeed their ability to publish, has not been curtailed. Rather, their ability to use the resource of the DNS registrar to spread their hate is what has been removed, and that was a privilege to which they were not entitled under law.

I am so in this situation. I love phones. But I haven't bought a new phone in like 3 years. I still use a Nokia N900 and a Nexus 5. My laptop is state of the art from 2010. That thing still flies. For gaming, I got a laptop with eGPU. It is going to to last another 10-15 years. I have so many vga cables, ethernet, nokia phones. They all work. Just change the battery and done.

Manufactured obsolescence is killing us. 2G worked great for things. Those phones had VoIP. I want to get them working with that. Someday...
As a hispanic person that has seen the worse of both BLM and white nationalist terrorising our communities, thanks but just no. Liberal governors will not do anything against rioters and looters that act as a violent mob of thugs, and Trump has proved himself not capable of holding back confederate flag lovers. I would very much prefer to be able to defend my family when the two parties have shown they will let race identitarians run loose.
as the distance from the current market price increases, the rule of thumb is that it becomes cheaper because the probability of hitting that strike is a lot lower supposedly.

I've read money managers use far OTM options to hedge against a potential shock (high confidence in bad earnings) but you also stand to lose your premium.

Nassim Taleb, Black Swan author, runs a fund that consistently buys far OTM options. They lose money most of the time until that one time where they strike it big. As he describes in "Random Walk in Wallstreet", he cleaned up his desk on the trading floor on Black Monday when his far OTM puts he bought for pennies on the dollar turned into double digit million figure. This is how he made his FU money and has been the subject of emulation by amateurs and professionals alike.

But then you look at people like Jim Chanos who shorted Enron successfully but have not been able to crush Tesla. Had he used options, he would've not only saved a lot of capital, he would still have his skin left in the game.

Not sure I undrestand your second question but I assume you mean near strike OTM vs deep OTM. You have to pay a premium for near strike options or if its in the money.

Not at all. If government could actually investigate and prove charges and jail Boeing CEO would be the sign of an effective government.

The fact that it simple files charges, does a phony investigation and settles for a very low bribe for the deaths of my loved ones is the proof that we are dealing with a mafia and not a government of people.

Ask HN: So Censorship is ok in post 2021?
It feel like yesterday that freedom of speech was treated as one of the great traits of our culture and specifically of internet. Internet allowed you to speak your mind and find people who thought like you and escape status quo. With few extreme exceptions, you could discuss things no matter how controversial. But that is apparently no more the case...

For me, it noticeably started with Youtube and Reddit. Extreme censorship in the name of copyright or 'toxicity'.

Companies used to do press release if they would ban something off their platform justifying with proof. But now, say a word that may make any advertiser unhappy and get deplatformed in an instant (cue: twitch). Infact, have some figurative association with someone unpopular and get banned, for no fault of your own.

So much for "I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It."

And very much of the following situation...

First they came for ...Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

For all the 'future' talk YC does, YC companies are sure leading censorship platforms. Both twitch and reddit ban as much as possible. Is that the future they wanted to be like?

> Did they really expect that the behaviour of the very small would be exactly like that of everyday macroscopic objects?

I expect a theory predicting otherwise to bear the burden of demarcating exactly where the boundary between "macroscopic" and "weird not-macroscopic" lies (waving your hands and mumbling "thermodynamics" does not count). I expect that such a theory's proponents should be absolutely burning with interest in probing, studying and understanding what goes on at this peculiarly discontinuous boundary in Nature.

Those two things haven't happened, which is kind of sad.

Quantum Mechanics predicts the results of experiments better than anything else. If "predicts experimental results" is the only thing you care about, then Bohr was right, QM is complete, and there's nothing more to be written in that book.
Heres polio eradicator Donald Hendersons influenza control guideline:

"Experience has shown that communities faced with epidemics or other adverse events respond best and with the least anxiety when the normal social functioning of the community is least disrupted. Strong political and public health leadership to provide reassurance and to ensure that needed medical care services are provided are critical elements. If either is seen to be less than optimal, a manageable epidemic could move toward catastrophe."

There are issues with the paper- its 15 years out dated and influenza != covid, but the paper is still useful. Also interestingly enough, the paper also mentions the non-effectiveness of masks (Non N95 ones at least), which was likely why masks were not heavily pushed at the start of the pandemic.

Overall from what I have read, lockdown as we implemented is a solely 2020 idea. We are essentially running the grandest science experiment ever, with both our lives and our happiness.

Its consequences; we are only beginning to understand, and it may very well be true that the "solution" for covid is far worse than the virus itself.

Polish people were exterminated on a daily basis by German nazis. Over 5 million Poles were brutally killed. It is hard to miss German attack and occupation of Poland aim was also to depopulate it from polish people.

That is very much the case and the policies of facebook and twitter have changed a lot, evne google removed the "dont be evil" from their ethics. People did much worse int he early days of facebook and twitter and facebook and twitter couldnt do anything because their guidelines werent made to censor things like that, let alone to particularly target a party as they do now.

> If you must hide your nakedness with logos, then it may be better to stick with ones that can be construed as relatively politically neutral fashion statements (e.g. sports teams).

You can actually get some idea of politics from what sports a person likes. I realized this might be the case when I turned on the TV a month ago and found that the program I had wanted to watch had been preempted for the 2020 MLS Cup final game.

I watched that for a while. The game was played in Columbus, Ohio, in front of a live reduce capacity audience. There were 1500 fans allowed in the stadium, and the coverage included quite a few crowd shots. I didn't see anybody without a mask. That led me to wonder if I was looking at a left-leaning crowd, since left-leaning crowds seem much better at wearing masks than right-learning crowds.

A bit of Googling then turned up this interesting article: "Which Sport Has Most Politically Liberal Fans?" [1]. According to it, MLS fans do skew significantly left.

Farthest left is WNBA, which is way left. Next is NBA, Women's tennis, European soccer, pro wrestling, then at about the same place MLS, extreme sports, and Men's tennis.

Farthest right, about as far right as Women's tennis is left, is PGA, then college football and NASCAR, then LPGA, NHL, drag racing, then pro rodeo.

Near the center includes college basketball, MLB, NFL, horse racing, monster trucks, and the Olympics.

Some of those I found surprising. I would have guessed pro wrestling to be on the right, not the left, and monster trucks to be right, not center.

I am not Russian and did not live during the USSR, and maybe you did and experienced some things I know nothing about, but I can say that the claims you've made are not uniformly true across the history of the USSR.

One counterpoint is from 1964, not exactly the most thawed period of relations, when the Strugastky brothers published "Hard to Be a God"[1], which was a thinly veiled criticism of Beria (who was then deceased) and also of some key ideas about the material development of history. It was not particularly well received, but also was not stopped, and they were by no means blackballed. It was regarded as a silly story, albeit clearly with some satirical bite.

One of the brothers wrote about the experience and the climate at the time[2], and their notes were published along with a recent 'Masters of SF' edition that was published.

It's an enjoyable book. To be clear, it is not critical of 'communism', it's critical of some ideas that (as I understand it) formed part of the conventional wisdom of how Soviet communists were expected to see history, as a largely unflappable progression toward communism -- one take on the point of the Strugastkys was that all it takes is a certain kind of selfish brute to slip any society down toward fascism, regardless of where they were on their journey through history. If it could happen early (which they investigate in the book), it could also happen late.

While your arguments make sense, I find the continuous calling of other browsers as having keyloggers disingenuous. The only difference for Brave you've mentioned elsewhere in the thread is that it's opt-in by default instead of opt-out, which is fair.

Also, by this logic any text field that does something with your input before explicitly pressing a submit button is also a keylogger. That just doesn't make sense.

> has chosen to stop hosting a violent hate group

First off, what exactly about AR15.com constitutes a violent hate group?

Secondly, do you think despots have ever said "We are punishing these perfectly innocent people because we don't like them"? No. It's always a "violent group" or some such other emotional rhetoric.
As do I.

Every time I need to set it up, I go through this series of very short and digestible articles.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10937277 (discussion for the third in a 4-part series).

Never thought to look for an HN discussion on it, but it turns out that there is one.

IIRC, one thing the series doesn't mention is that a particular option needs to be explicitly specified in order to maintain port tunnels. By default, as long as the SSH connection succeeds during an AutoSSH reconnect, it will chug along happily without the port-forward if it's still blocked from the previous connection before the drop.
Sorry that was a typo, I meant OTM vs ITM

Freedom of speech does not apply to private property?

edit: in response to Karunamon, I understand that. But nobody is stopping you from having these discussions on your own platform. Other people do not need to or are obligated to host whatever you want to spew. Nobody is obligated to let you use their platform for free. You can have your speech, copyright infringing content, etc. somewhere on the internet and it will be accessible to the rest of the internet. Forums exist, domain registrars that are not in the US exist.

I don't understand how straight theft of content (for example video game clip stealing and covering in donation links that don't benefit anyone but the SEO spammer) is considered censorship. Nobody wants that crap. It benefits nobody other than spammers and wastes server resources.

> But now, say a word that may make any advertiser unhappy and get deplatformed in an instant (cue: twitch).

Come on, nobody is being banned from twitch for saying Mountain Dew Game Fuel tastes like shit. PogChamp was removed because the dude spouts nonstop conspiracy theories on the validity level of 5G causing HIV. They are being banned for repeatedly and continuously spamming, ban evading and sexually harassing people (re: simp-esque stuff).

> Both twitch and reddit ban as much as possible.

Parler also banned as much as possible anybody that didn't agree with their viewpoints, didn't they?

Why fixate on this extreme when there are plenty of subjective issues where journalists could present multiple interpretations? And why do journalists so rarely call left wing denialism (e.g., blank slatism) or even something a little murkier like the propensity to impute discrimination on every disparity? No one is asking you to argue that the Trump position is equally meritorious to the left wing position, but if you want to bring Trump supporters back into the fold or at least reduce the rate that you’re creating them, then giving them some courtesy representation here and there in the media if only to explain why their points of view are misinformed might not be a bad approach. In general, respect consistently and earnestly applied can be a pretty potent thing.

The difference here, as I see it, is that it's not being banned for the usual reasons, but because it's political speech the resource owner doesn't agree with. There's been a huge uptick in that over the last several months, and with the disgusting episode in Washington, it kicked into high gear these past few days. It's affecting people who have very little in common with the people who engaged in illegal acts there, too. There are topics that correlate with disfavored political views but are not directly related to politics that have practically been eliminated from Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms. It's probably not illegal, but it's disturbing to watch.
There's no massive electrolytic capacitor that would be needed to power it for a few seconds.

It's gonna be pretty damn fast. Standard ceramic decoupling cap-- very likely 0.1uF-- right next to it. 1/2 C V^2 at 3.3V is 0.5 microjoules. If the entire energy in the capacitor can go to effectively power the microphone (it can't), and the typical power consumption of a MEMS microphone is about 1 milliwatt, it might keep working for about 500 microseconds.

Starting with the laws of physics, no, we cannot in practice calculate a consciousness. But we also can't inspect a lottery machine and predict the balls which come out either. Nobody thinks the latter is is because lottery machines also contain magic, yet so many people think that of consciousness.

Could consciousness involve extra-physical explanation? Sure. But there there is an equal amount of evidence that lottery machines do too (i.e., none).

yeah so if your options are ITM then your stock doesn't need to move that much to profit but the downside is its very expensive.

OTM is cheaper but much more riskier because your stock has to travel further.

No you would leverage more with OTM because you can buy a lot more OTM with the money you spend on ITM.

This is a gross generalization, when I say "riskier" it is purely from an academic point of view. In reality there are so many other factors at play, fundamentals, theta, delta, vega, etc. I can't really explain it because I don't understand their exact relationships but in general when you have an option position the clock is against you and so many other factors that has to go right.

It's like in Casino Royale when that Marilyn Mason look-alike invests African warlords money on an airline company on far OTM near expiry options and then launching an attack in the airport.

The SEC has a safeguard against these things. If you have large far OTM options near expiry and the stock dips the next day, expect a visit from the SEC or FBI.
