Walking down the street in Chinatown I may not be too surprised to see a hanging animal carcass, but this is Hacker News not a street market.

Vegetarianism is pretty common in the world, with for example 30% of India being vegetarian[1]. So be careful not to project your own thoughts on to "all the worlds humans".

Because the article tries to make it seem like there’s “no reason” for the deplatforming. Given the events of the past few days, I’m inclined to believe the reason isn’t the subject matter of the site, but the content. I’ve never been on ar15.com, so I don’t know if that’s true or not.
So censorship is cool now?! At all levels: Godaddy, Cloudflare, AWS, Twitter/Reddit... anyone should just go and ban everything unpopular?

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

Very much of the following situation...

Definitely. I'm sure the then-flawed antibody tests would be retired and replaced with PCR tests.
That growth isn't exponential. Mortgage debt isn't a bad thing, the equity you build through it means you essentially come out ahead or even, once adjusting for inflation.

In other words, real estate is a great way to preserve wealth.
It says on the play store that it contains ads which is likely the reason for the permissions
GoDaddy’s founder hasn’t been part of the organization for about a decade.
This is a common error in thinking. People act based on the perception (true or not) that their future is being taken away from them, far more than on current circumstance. People will endure shocking poverty if they are sure it means a better life for their kids, and people in very comfortable circumstances will rise up if they think they're headed for a decline.
>engaged in multiple interface redesigns with loss of features with no apparent gains

Yeah, this has been really baffling. Their settings UI has been in a transition state between "Classic Settings" and "New Settings" for years. Neither is complete. Some settings are only in New Settings (e.g. WiFi AI), while many more are only in the Classic Settings (e.g. allow multicast from Ethernet to WiFi).
> but also as other comments said it's Twitter's or Jack Dorsey's freedom to not be a mouthpiece of someone. Which is interestingly the same thing as your example. Just instead of the feds trying to force you to say something it's Trump trying to force/coerce/pressure Twitter to host him. (Which is basically the "free association" part of liberties.)

Twitter is a publicly traded company. Its owned by the public so Jack Dorsey can't claim it as his own platform. The second he sought the benefits of public funding, it became the publics platform- democrat or republican should have equal right to it. But he's welcome to tweet his opinion if he wants to.
This looks much more like Catalan than either Latin or Italian to me.

I was having a little trouble reading the handwriting, so I searched for a few of the words and found a printed text in Google Books [https://books.google.com/books?id=Sw9C_I_5h9YC&pg=PA99&lpg=P...] that includes a complete transcription (with some accentuation and punctuation modernized). That first paragraph is

> Primerament, a tal que Nostre Señor Déu sia servit haver misericòrdia y aplacar la yra de sa justa indignatió que té sobre la dita ciutat, procuraran los habitadors de aquella de emplear-se en fer dejunis, almoines, vots y exercitar-se en obres pies.

Thinking of this as Catalan, it should mean something like

> First, so that Our Lord God may be pleased to have mercy and assuage the wrath of his just indignation that he has against the said city, its inhabitants will try to employ themselves in making fasts, alms, vows, and engaging in pious works.

Google Translate can also interpret most of it as Catalan, so I'm gaining confidence in my Catalan theory!

You can't do that anymore. You either have to buy their server or use their cloud, from my understanding. I am another considering migration away from them for this reason as well.
Probably not. The morale of the story was she was good at collecting people with clout who simultaneously knew nothing about her business. Even in their earliest days, the outside was screaming "literally impossible" from all sides.

iirc, there is even a historic thread on HN where if you go back to the comments, its mostly people proving that there is almost certain fraud behind the scenes.
This is exactly it in my opinion. There is not a "but both sides" to every issue, you can call a spade a spade.

why should the last bastion of actual free speech be gone? Specially since there isnt but one particular board that is the cause of most of the conmotion.

This is not just true for epidemics. When reacting to any sort of situation, often the speed with which you react is much more important than just about anything else. You can always adjust later, especially if your adjustments are also done with alacrity.

Assume one buys with the intent of selling well before expiry, is there much of a difference between buying relatively fewer deep in the money options vs buying relatively more cheaper out of the money options?

I've always thought buying deep ITM was more like holding leveraged stock and nice for that conceptual reason, but what's the advantage/disadvantage of buying OTM options (in contrast to ITM)?
It's beyond me how anyone can trust a Russian messenger. It's impossible to do anything in Russia without KGB involvement, let alone to run a secure messenger. Had the KGB not had access to Telegram data, Durov would have be long gone like Nemtsov, Politkovskaya, and others.

While that is probably true, Bob sold the bulk of the company years ago and is no longer involved as an employee or board member. He sells motorcycles, golf clubs, commercial real estate, and various other things now.
There is a step between banning and giving a free for all which is requiring that social media follow local laws with the threat of being banned for non compliance.
Switch Transformers: Scaling to Trillion Parameter Models with Sparsity
No. I’m questioning whether this article is being truthful in its reporting.
The initial trials just need to establish that the vaccine is safe (no severe side effects) which could include those on PrEP and even those with no risk factor.

The larger, latter trial that needs to study efficacy could simply use a large population. While HIV transmission is much more rare outside of certain high risk groups, infection does occur through accidents or deviations in behavior (e.g an EMT gets a needle prick while trying to administer Narcan). It would take a larger population and longer study but it should still be able to reach statistical significance.

To the contrary, many radicals, including the ones you’re referring to, are incapable of handling cognitive dissonance. Consider the destitute right-wing radical who fights against economic assistance programs because they conflict with his moral world view.
SOME people do.

There are some audiences that go gaga for that type of connection. They love unprompted (over)sharing and friend collecting. I suspect you get a base of that on a service like Facebook, and since they're the heaviest users, the platform will eventually warp to appeal to their needs.

I always got a lot more value out of vertical communities like forums and newsgroups, just because there was typically specific valuable content and opportunities for deeper discussion.

But I suppose I was never the sort who was hugely motivated by "reconnect with your high school buddies/distant relatives" which was the default pitch for general purpose social networks.
Well it is no secret that the social engineers and their acolytes have had a hold of godaddy for sometime particularly considering the most recent investments on it, so there is that.

Twitter literally allows dictators to use their service so your point is moot. There’s a massive double standard being applied. Additionally, the term fascist is used for essentially anything people dislike anymore so forgive if your subjective take or big tech’s take on fascism doesn’t mean a damn thing to me.

In addition to the other concerns, I would say the biggest problem would be tracking and recording the time to disposal. Most electronics end up in a drawer somewhere and for tho that don’t, Who is digging through the trash to log them in this scenario
I always had some concerns with desktop apps / mobile apps. Unlike browsers which has a lock symbol how can desktop apps inform whether communication is over tls for example? There is also the challenge that it 'was' tls at one point when you first inspected but could later changed to some non secure transmission without being informed of such change.

What might be some solutions to this? I have yet to see anything that is standardized for this purpose. Other than, loosely here, 2fa token for purpose for login only, but is still without knowing whether transmission to endpoint was over secure channels.

Yes inequality ii's something that needs to be kept low but I don't think we have hit the point that we will see our current economic system fail.
Unless something has dramatically changed in recent years (I doubt it), AR15.com is widely regarded as one of the preeminent firearm enthusiast forums on the Internet. It caters to people across the political spectrum and a wide range of niche firearm interests.

IIRC, it is actually owned by industry companies, which have an interest in keeping it relatively non-political.
1. Facebook already had 1 billion MAU in 2012, the year it acquired Instagram. How would you limit M&A? Won't that really hurt the startup ecosystem if you use the state to close off one of the paths to an exit? How do you propose limiting 'hot money' to finance growth ahead of revenue? Are you proposing getting rid of venture capital?

2. I'm familiar with safe harbor provisions, but am asking you for more specifics. Many sites/app personalize content (aka algorithmic content feeds) for the user, based off of what will drive engagement. I understand you dislike Facebook, but if you attack Facebook for personalization, how do you not hurt everybody else that is trying to cater experiences to what their users are likely to want?

3. What's the transaction in your proposal? Who is getting taxed? There are multiple actors in the advertising system, from advertisers to ad networks to publishers to website visitors. Your glib response is a signal to me that perhaps you haven't had much in the weeds exposure to how advertising functions, and may be operating from more of a mainstream mood affiliation perspective. Which is fine, but you answered a question to someone's query for 'good ideas' for regulation.

These forms also don’t have a giant corporation attempting to monetize your attention. Telecoms for example simply charge a monthly fee. I truly believe the micro targeted ad driven and “gets the most clicks “ optimizations have been extremely powerful and destructive

I believe common carrier laws don't apply to these platforms. If they did, common carrier laws would still not prevent these platforms from removing users that were inciting illegal acts.

In particular though, common carrier laws tend to apply to services that have been given a special privilege to have for their own use some type of public resource or special privilege. Like broadcasting frequencies or the right-of-way granted to power companies and other utilities. That isn't the case for these platforms.
I wish you wouldn't clutter up the comments with this spam. Make your argument once, do it well, and let us decide for ourselves.
You don't have to let fascists and Nazis on if you don't want to. I don't want to see the social media landscape dominated by a few giant organizations and I worry that things might slide from deplatforming the above groups to deplatforming anyone whose views go against the sort of dogmas which appeal to progressive activists and/or the sort of dogmas which appeal to giant corporations.
I signed up, this is really interesting.

I have been working on a journalling pwa (https://zenjournal.org/ - I need to change the name). The daily template is configurable, but it has been a week and I am already bored of my default template.
I've got a handful of years on you, and I disagree that this is anything like how the internet has always been. Unless you've got your head in the sand, you can see that tech companies have been steadily ratcheting up the use of their moderation policies to silence political speech they don't like. The last week is just a feeding frenzy now that they feel like they have a strong excuse.

I'm speaking generally here, and more about companies like Twitter. I don't know whether that wider trend is what is happening here with GoDaddy.

> Unless something has dramatically changed in recent years (I doubt it)

I can point out one thing that changed in the last 4 years, and it is our President and the atmosphere of vitriol and gaslighting he has created.

Most of these companies were fine to tolerate this on their services when it was just speech, but now that speech has translated into actual violent action it's a different ballgame.
I’m saying had we (our epistemological institutions) not given up on neutrality (rather, truth-seeking) in the first place we might not have had so many people who felt free to give up on it themselves and in such overt ways (for example, weather denial).

That said, some people in this thread are really stuck on this contrived weather hypothetical; in reality, current events are typically a lot more subjective. Consider BLM—had the media critically considered the conservative position—that perhaps police killing victims skew black for reasons besides police racism—maybe blacks have more frequent interactions with the police or maybe they commit more crimes or both. Perhaps the media could have also considered some of the heinous police killings of whites instead of fueling the narrative that it’s only blacks who are egregiously killed by police. Had the media done these things, it might’ve earned back a bit of trust from some people, and since everyone is absolutely certain about the dynamics of race and policing, it could have been an opportunity to demonstrate to conservatives and skeptical liberals how we know for certain that crime rates, etc don’t drive police killing disparities but rather racism.
A note to most users of this site. Please disregard the statements of meritt it doesnt seem to be the first instance of him posting a vague lie, and then not answering to anyone. His initial comment wasnt made to answer to the truth (the founder of godaddy is no longer its owner or has a place on its board) his comment was made to farm points for those that like him prefer lies over the truth as long as it fits their political viewpoint.
I don't work from an office or use a mouse, external monitor, or keyboard, so I've found the reverse is true: out of the box Ubuntu hardware comes in broken or flimsy packages.

I had a fellow dev whose camera was below the screen, so when we'd videoconference I'd be pointed at his chest, for example.

Every time he'd plug in his headphones and then unplug them his microphone would stop working.

It was death by a thousand cuts. Tiny inconveniences that stack up.

Although speaking of cuts, I'll admit I sliced my finger open (on the exhaust vent) when pulling my 2018 MBP out of my laptop bag. Talk about inconvenient design flaws. And yet, here I am recommending them. That's how good the other stuff is in comparison.
Billionaires can't take your money by force like government can. Government can not just take money by force (taxation), through indirect means (regulation) or by simply reducing its worth (inflation). And while they do that they make you stand in a line and clap for them.

The only way Bezos makes money is if I chose to buy something on Amazon. Surely, billionaires are not angels and are just as corrupt as politicians and would love to force me to buy their stuff one way on another but in every single of those instance they use government as their partner.

USA elected Trump, how much accountable was he to you ?
So the microphone signal line isn't broken by the mute, got it.

My instinct in that situation was to talk to the person about what I was reading when I felt they were getting impatient. Not let them have a conversation about hurrying up.
>People aren't code. Plus you dont see people exposing themselves to prions or the plague.

Aren't vaccines kind of this: deliberately exposing people to something harmful so they'll have more immunity against a stronger version if they encounter it later?
Maybe because they had a second flip-flop and CMOS is sensitive to floating inputs? So they just decided to use both in parallel? Just a guess.
I think your example is better evidence for my view. I remember this issue being mentioned in a CppCon talk: C++ 11 broke the ABI for STL (for efficiency as far as I remember), and the binary interface to libstdc++ changed as a result:

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_dual_a...

So the ABI can leak implementation details in nontrivial ways that library authors usually don't consider. It's better to have something explicit in the code, e.g. under extern "C".

The point is not that making a stable API for every language feature is impossible; just that it's hard, fragile, and maybe not be worth the effort. If you really want stability, then use fewer features more like C. There is probably some middle ground that's richer, but templates are known to cause problems.

Also see the release history here:

It's a very simple equation and it's kind of the "square root of" the basic wave equation (d^2x/dt^2 = -k x). So it's the most obvious way to have an equation that can describe a space where waves are pervasive but there are also non-wave things, which is what reality is.
Where is the line? Do we defend free speech as violent mobs incited on false pretense attempt to overthrow the government to install their wannabe dictator back into power? If that happens do you think freedom of speech will survive? If Trump were to succeed with his coup and be put back into power do you really think the constitution survives in its current incarnation at all?

Freedom of speech is one thing but when it finally translates into violent action it's a different animal.
The issue is not whether we can pragmatically communicate the concept of "red" by piggybacking on some (presumed) common experience, but whether that experience of redness itself is information. It is obviously not, and I do not understand why you insist otherwise.
No-- even better, the MEMS microphone is depowered.
I have been empathically engaged and still angry with someone, in fact, sometimes the empathy can make it worse when you realize the person just will not get with the program. When you understand what they are feeling, but know that to not get passed it will result un more harm for them in the long run.

It's the ugly side of empathy. It can bring people together, and it can sadly reinforce that which splits us apart when communication and trust break down.
tmux supports multiple sessions and switching between those. sessions behave independently like your screen windows. you can of course have multiple windows in each session, which then behave the tmux way.
you can also have the same window show up in multipe sessions and use that to emulate screen behavior. (i saw a script to help with that some time ago) for me, multiple sessions alone provide enough flexibility.
