Incidentally I absolutely love it when conservatives advocate for more government, whatever happened to the market is perfect let it decide the winners and losers.

I can't understand why this newspaper would make such an outrageous claim and cite tweets which very clearly disprove the point just made. Am I missing something, or does the Ayatollah not call for genocide in those tweets?

To those downvoting, I urge you to read the tweets linked. If I am wrong, simply quote the portion of these tweets which specifically makes a call for genocide and I will be delighted to be proven wrong.
> The president of the United States is in fact an extremist like Alex Jones and a white nationalist.

This sounds like a comment from Reddit. From an outsider perceptive (European) he seems neither an extremist nor a white nationalist. He is a nationalist for sure, but I have never heard Trump talk about people grouping them by skin colour, unlike Obama. I have only heard Trump talk about "Americans" and he divides that into the left or right.
> I did not follow your reasoning about 5 years old debating the merits of segregation, can you elaborate?

Sure. We teach five year olds about Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement because it’s an important part of our history. Children are going to have questions about why things happened, and what the “right” side of it was. What are we going to tell them? At that age, they’ll basically believe whatever we say. So we have to either decide that segregation will be the “fringe” view, or that kids will grow up thinking that it’s acceptable.

> Fascism and segregation are morally wrong, but just as important they produce systems and societies that exhibit horrible features and, time and again, crumble and fail.

Who’s to say what features in a system are horrible? If we’re truly neutral here, should we not implement those features too so as not to ostracize people who think they’re good? :)

My point is that for literally every “horrible” feature, there are people who want it in earnest — and they often want it because it benefits them, not because they haven’t been won over by the merits of the alternative.

Like, how are you gonna convince the dude wearing the Camp Auschwitz sweatshirt? It’s not like he’s never been exposed to the argument that genocide is wrong. At some point we just have to draw the line and say “this is bad” rather than wringing our hands about how we can really decide not to listen to people advocating segregation or fascism or genocide or whatever.
On a level of societal risk I understand and agree with you.

On an individual level where diet soda is replacing regular soda, or where diet soda is used as a treat when controlling caloric intake otherwise I find the generic “diet soda is bad for you” to be misleading enough to be wrong.

The “woo” is that usually it’s not some commentary about artificial sweeteners increasing caloric intake, but some nonsense about artificial sweeteners being unnatural or causing cancer, etc. it’s not too dissimilar from 5G warnings or anti-vaxx.
Author here.

That's actually a really interesting field. However, it seems to rely on the ability to link events (having a trace of what happened) whereas the use-case in this article is to group individual logs based on similarities (and depending on the algorithm used, on structure).

Still, that does sound like a field I'd like to explore, thanks for making me discover it!

It would be really-really important to use pre-registration especially in socially sensitive studies like this one. It is possible that these numbers are artifacts even if the stated p value is low.

I'm not saying that the study is wrong, just that shocking results like this one need extreme methodological rigor behind them before we start telling everyone that white doctors are killing black babies etc.

From your link though, Leslie Lamport disagrees with Knuth (whom I like to pronounce "nuth" but is actually pronounced "ka-nuth").

I'm Greek and I pronounce LaTeX as "LAY-tek". I just tried pronouncing it "LAY-tech" with a Greek "chi" sound ("λέει-τεχ") and I sounded so silly I almost spat my coffee all over my monitor (only "almost" because I wasn't drinking any coffee). Ain't no way I'm calling it that.

And note that, being Greek, I can actually pronounce "χ" correctly. Most Native English-speaking folks I've heard trying to do the same sound like they're in immediate need of someone administering the Heimleich manoeuver to them.

Btw, I pronounce "Heimlich" with a Greek "χ" also. I bet most native English-speaking folks pronounce it elsewise. Perhaps as "Heimlick".

The two noteworthy aspects are: 1) if you click on an ad on startpage, you're inside Google's network. If you click on an ad on the duck, you're inside Bing's network. 2) the duck is independent and startpage is owned by an advertising company.
That's fine it works for you but it just shifts the burden off yourself by putting it on your coworkers. Unless it's specifically discussed and agreed upon for your role, that's rather unfair to the rest of the team.

This bipartisan support might evaporate overnight if they cut a deal with those currently in power, to keep them in power indefinitely by totally silencing and deplatforming their opposition, in exchange for going about unchecked. It's a win-win for both sides, so why wouldn't it happen. It certainly did happen in Russia, how is US any diffetent? Because you have honest and responsible politicians?
Ask HN: Why did YC stop it's podcast/interviews?
Hey HN! I used to really enjoy YC's podcast/interviews from 2017-2019 when Craig Cannon used to host them. Some of the interviews were my absolute favorites!

There were ton of great interviews with folks like Wojciech Zaremba, Greg Brockman, Daniel Gross, Tim Urban, Diana Hu etc.

I wanted to know why YC decided to stop those interviews. They were a wealth of information and Craig was honestly a great interviewer! I realize he has now left to start his own company, but I'm pretty sure someone else can continue the segment.

Please reconsider bringing it back!

Thanks
There’s also the matter of scale and money.

Wikipedia drama generally seems to happen less often and affect fewer “big” personalities and their money, than say Youtube and Google giving their content creators whiplash over whatever the new policy change is.
Family planning did and still does mean something coercive in China for most people. To them it's about paying a fine for extra kids, and when local govt gets angry forced birth control. People hid kids for a reason.

The policy has historically allowed exceptions for ethnic minorities, but looking at news stories they have been physically putting birth control devices in Uyghur women without consent too. The state perfected its art of surveillance by testing on minorities; it's no surprise they also perfected some other human rights violations from experience with Han people.

(There are cheap condom programs, but the entire country just doesn't talk about sex. You get few safe sex talks, and all these stuff end up as balloons for kids and hairbands. Combined oral contraceptives are cheap and OTC, but the culture is heavily against "unnecessary use of western medicine", especially for the cheap ethinylestradiol/levonostrogel kind because "cheap means bad". So you end up with good women's bodily autonomy on paper and terrible execution, even without the violations.)

>There's also some evidence that historic rises in CO2 lagged temperature rather than the reverse.

That's only true in some cases with strong emphasis on "some". If you want to know how much of that is true and how much is wrong just watch this video https://youtu.be/FBF6F4Bi6Sg?t=703

I don't think I can do it justice with a butchered summary on HN but I'll keep it long enough to get you hooked. There are two phases during a deglaciation and CO2 lags in the first one and leads in the second one.

We have basically skipped the first phase by emitting CO2 directly. If anything, this should worry us even more because there is evidence that increased temperatures drive CO2 emissions as well. So we haven't skipped the first phase at all, it's going to happen in the future.

Feedback loops have been predicted by many scientists. What could happen is this: "man-made CO2 -> higher temperatures -> more CO2 -> even higher temperatures".

I recommend you to watch the entire video. Not just the segment I linked.

That same content creator also made a whole playlist concerning climate change: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52KLGqDSAjo&list=PL82yk73N8e...

I have to say, at my current company we are using Serverless, and it really does feel like it reduces complexity. No runtime/framework to set up, no uptime monitoring or management required on the application layer, and scaling is essentially solved for us. I mean you do pay for what you get, but it does feel like one of those technologies which really lowers the barrier to entry in terms of being able to release a production web application. In terms of building an MVP, a single developer really can deploy an application without any dev-ops support, and it will serve 10 million users if you manage to get that much traffic.

I'm sure it's not optimal for every case, but for an awful lot of cases it seems pretty darned good, and you can save on dev ops hiring.

If you believe that Justice means something, then there is a difference between Just violence and Unjust violence. Even a single state can produce both Just violence (locking up criminals or criminal instigators) and Unjust violence (extra-judicial killings or forced sterilization).
This is exactly why WordPress became so popular. You own and control your own content.

When you choose to create or consume content on a 3rd party platform, you’re agreeing to their terms and conditions, which often includes some scenarios where they can block or censor your content or access. Complaining about that after the fact is pretty silly.

The “I’m leaving X and moving to Y” is a temporary solution. Substack, Parler, Spotify, etc. aren’t any better in the long run, they’re just newer and offer a temporary reprieve. You’ve still hitched yourself to a wagon and are along for the ride. Maybe that ride is better for you, but don’t think for a minute that you’re in the driver’s seat.

You’re not truly free until you own the distribution network. Or an owner-less blockchain publishing network might eventually work as well.
>I was saying decades ago that touting the "hottest summer on record" as proof of global warming isn't actually proof and would come back to disrupt the conversation.

I'm not sure what you mean. If temperature records are broken consecutively do you really think it's just up to chance?

Based on this article: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/projected-ranks

"The warmest years globally have all occurred since 1998, with the top ten being 2016, 2019, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2014, 2010, 2013 and 2005 (tied), and 1998, respectively."

Can you think of a reason why this should not count as evidence? I want you to disrupt the conversation.

Thunderfoot made a video about betting whether the next year will be the hottest year or not and if you bet against climate change then you would lose the bet all the time.

the thing about cooking is there are often many different ways to achieve the same outcome. a cast iron skillet with an even layer of seasoning has noticeably better (to me, at least) nonstick properties than the same skillet with a half-assed seasoning on it. but the former takes a lot more time/effort and it really doesn't matter if you just add an extra pad of butter. with enough cooking fat, eggs will slide around any skillet as if it were an ice rink.

> And also what are you even trying to say, that the reason why Parler was banned was those images?

And now that I have shown you that Amazon did use those low engagement Parler posts as reason to boot Parler (their email mentions "98 examples"), will it use the same yardstick to boot Twitter out of AWS for the thousands of low engagement violent tweets that is littered across Twitter? If you have a convincing answer for it I'll be glad to engage with you further. I say so because Twitter is hosted on AWS (https://www.techradar.com/in/news/twitter-signs-up-aws-for-i...)

If Amazon cannot kick Twitter out then I say that Big Tech is hypocritical and ideologically biased. Or that Twitter is a big paying customer and Amazon wouldn't want to mess with the relationship it has with Twitter. You pick what is the excuse going to be.

Replying to your posts as edits because of rate limits *shrugs*

> It was those images PLUS context, and you argue the context is they're right leaning, and I argue the context is they refused to censor hate speech and ended up being a haven for it

Censor hate speech in low engagement content? Isn't that the very reason you gave for why Twitter is not removing those hate speech filled posts? Because they are surprise, surprise low engagement posts.

So why bother? Why is Amazon going out of its way to remove Parler from AWS for low engagement posts? It is not like some high profile user with a large following asked for people to commit violence right? I am literally using your own justification for Parler too. Why is your justification for Twitter okay while not okay for Parler?

If Amazon had evidence of high engagement posts spreading violence in Parler it would have attached those images. Not images from low engagement posts. This just goes to show that Big Tech just doesn't want Parler in there. That is all there is to it. It is an ideological battle. Else the same filth you find in right wing Parler you find in Twitter, Facebook and the rest of social media. There is literally no difference between any of these social platforms.

I was going to say "touché", but I don't know if you read my above comment before it was flagged, because you're implying I argued something that I didn't. The idea that Parler would not be subject to the typical cancel-culture tactics of "progressives" impersonating right-wingers and posting incitement to violence in order to get a platform that allows conservative thought shut down is ludicris. Thus a screenshot of something outragous before it was moderated away from Parler, is hardly an honest argument.

It seems a bit rich to suggest that the opposing view on the question on organized mass censorship of the president of the united states is "too political".
Intent might matter a little. I wouldn't be surprised if disabling JS for the purpose of bypassing an access control falls afoul of the CFAA but intentionally browsing the web without JS (e.g. via lynx) does not.

If a policy is impossible for a given country to carry out, doesn't that suggest that maybe they shouldn't try? I think most people would agree that Prohibition should have delivered several public benefits in theory, but in practice it was beyond the ability of the government to enforce, and a bad policy.

Let's not forget that these mrNPIs have side effects - over 200 million people globally have been thrown into extreme poverty by them, increased deaths of despair, decimation of small business and resulting wealth concentration, etc.

There is a segment of society which believes that obviously mrNPIs are in everyone's best interest, but given that the side effects are well documented and very negative I think the burden of proof should be on the pro lockdown camp to explain why mrNPIs are the best policy intervention. The WHO recommends them only in extreme circumstances. They aren't popular with the public. Surely it's reasonable to consider alternatives (such as improving adherence to WHO recommendations) instead of invoking the alt right bogeyman and shutting down discussion as some are so quick to do.
