And how does people taking off their shoes make air travel any safer? I do not see how your example supports using fear as a tool to drive useful change.

Well if you say “we plant trees” people start to think of you as being an angel and being extremely good at everything you do.

I don’t mind if they use environmental issues for their marketing interests, but this is so ridiculous to have such privacy policy.
ndarrays "create a new array every time you apply"

That resonates with me now that you explain that I can't do it.

I do like chaining things in pandas like `df.select_types("float").head(100).plot.hist()`
They were quite literally seconds away from something incredibly more serious happening.

Just because they botched the implementation doesn't lessen the intent.
Interesting take. I would counter and say that climate over the long run is much easier to predict then in the short run. The localized effects, high variability and shorter term impacts are way more challenging.

I would say that the impact to global weather phenomenons are might not be well understood though that seems more like local (large local like continent wide) impacts as opposed to general global weather trend.
We were adding support for .avif images in our backend this week.
It seems .avif encoding is very slow right now.
It takes 3 minutes to encode an image with the most compressed setting (speed 8/8).
Using the default speed 5/8 takes 10 seconds but gives a size practically as big as webp (which takes less time to encode).
I think/hope this will likely improve in the upcoming months.

> other people in society would somehow band together to oppose the initial perpetrator

This band would probably also need some form of leadership, where a consensus-defined alpha role comes naturally to us, much like for chimpanzees.

In fact, I'd argue that it doesn't even take a human to be the initial perpetrator. Humans (again, like chimpanzees) have an ever-present initial perpetrator: the environment.

We're not built to stand strong against the forces of nature as individuals.
Put more succinctly then: when a platform/technology becomes so successful that's used by a lot of people and/or other businesses built and depend on it, it (eventually) has to be regulated. If the prize of success is monopoly (as per Thiel), the price of success must be regulation.
Yeah, for desktop I'd generally recommend Gajim (recent versions) or Dino (younger project, but progressing well). I personally use a console client (poezio).

XMPP has evolved a lot over recent years, but many folk still judge it by the state of Pidgin (where development is focusing on their big 3.0 rather than catching up with modern messaging features) or with the features XMPP had in 2006.
maybe growing up with PAL is hampering my expectations here, but imo 1GB/hour in h264 looks just fine whereas same size HEVEC, while having supperior contrast and sharpness, almost always has fucked up colors so i try to avoid it. also HVEC makes my fans spin up.
You contradict, and invalidate yourself, in your own argument.

Scale and monopoly removes choice and uniqueness.

Portland has been storming government buildings for months. Where do you think these people got the idea from?

Andy gno and timcast IRL has been streaming news on these attacks and riots for just as many many months.

The people that did this have been ignored for a very long time and been watching government do nothing while their lives get ripped apart by a virus and a mob of people calling them racist for being white.

You people dont seem to understand you are just as bubbled as the right is.
Yes, that was the bigger failure here. The CEO is clearly incapable as well, but that was more or less a given taking the context communicated in the article into account. No CEO would farm out their responsibility like this. At best he would have asked the new CTO for some input.

There is long history of extreme right wing trying to make people think that communist and "anyone more left them me" are the same.

Already in Germany before WWII Hitler used that to his advantage where he worked hard enough to make "Jew", "communist" and "social democrat" into synonyms. Meanwhile, social democrats were the biggest party that was openly pro-democracy. Other major party were anti-democracy.

The distinction is not between modern and old "socialism" like Sweden or Denmark. The distinction is whether you buy the "anyone not exactly right with is basically communist" framing.
Progressive is just the label they choose to use for themselves, so it's polite to use that same label when addressing or describing them.

It doesn't really mean that automatically makes their views or policies inherently better than those who disagree with them. It's important to analyze things people say and and investigate their claims for yourself, and not just tribally agree with them on everything they say just because they use an adjective that sounds nice to describe themselves.
That's great it worked for Gandhi, but I'd argue the tolerant HAVE been doing that - stretching back to MLK's marches, and yet here we are (in the US) where a violent mob stormed the capitol.

Tolerating them may be better for humanity but it takes to long for those folks to disappear from the gene pool. And, they are armed due to the 2nd Amendment, which Gandhi didn't have to deal with. Sure, guns exist around the world but they are in massive abundance in the US.
That would be wonderful!

First, I don't think the 74 million Trump voters are being suppressed. The vast majority of them still have Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc. The removal of extreme messages from these platforms should only be removing those condoning the extreme messages. Are you saying those extremists speak for all Trump voters?

And those extremists already committed and are planning further violence. There is no good reason to maintain support for their violent plans on popular platforms, and enable recruiting efforts.

A growing number of people believing something that Trump claims but has been disproven repeatedly isnot a desirable outcome. Rather let's reverse that trend.

They should figure out how evidence and proof works and start taking it seriously. Go read https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/18/this-migh... and realize things like the Navarro Report are not documents of proof but persuasive essays that fail the minimum standards of basic research. Like a conspiracy, he hand waves over his evidence which he claims is not publicly accessible, but only he has special access to. Then he just uses a lot of speculation about what's possible. This isn't grounds for an exhaustive, wasteful investigation, because we are not starting from a place of evidence and reason, but merely the propaganda of a Trump machine that wants to maintain his power.

Removing the most extreme views can only serve to reverse this troubling trend of citizens listening to Trump over hundreds of reputable news organizations. To think otherwise is conspiracy thinking!

Yes we also try converting images to .avif with the NPM module Sharp version 0.27.0 and we images as large as .webp using the default speed of 5/8 and it takes 10 seconds to encode on the same AWS Lambda of 512mb.
I red that increasing the speed to 8/8 will lead to smaller file but the encoding time will take 3 minutes.

You tell people you'll only do it if at least 85% ok the pay cut.
I hear you - but, at least in my case, it doesn’t feel true.

I’m from a small town in the upper Midwest. My entire childhood and teenage years were dominated by Rush Limbaugh/Charlie Sykes/et al on the radio and Fox News on the television (always Fox News). Did NPR/CNN/etc exist? Sure - but I (literally) didn’t know anyone who listened/watched them until college.

This idea that conservatives are being crushed under the boot of “liberal” media feels like a cop-out. Conservative politicians could have gone big tent in the 80-90’s, but they didn’t. They focused on consolidation of a specific demographic and are now in a kerfluffal because that base is becoming a cultural minority.

Edit: also - the resentment was always there. Go listen to Rush in the 90s. Nothing about what conservatives are complaining about is new.
you dont even need to download it because most players can access an url just fine. mpv with ytdl integration is my goto for viewing sites that just wont give users access to the video-url (youtube/twitch/vimeo...)
Do you have any examples of similar stories with a controversially conservative slant they have covered?

Nothing you're saying disputes that, editorially, they have a strong progressive bent.
I’m just making the point that creating a state of fear is a good opportunity to push through change in society. Whether the change is effective or not is another question entirely.

Do you think if the US government had said, “we’re going to ask you nicely to take off your shoes at the airport so your neighbor’s grandma doesn’t get blown up?” that would’ve gotten people to take their shoes off?
Same here. I live in North East Scotland, but have spent a lot of time in Norway with work over the past 20 years (I'm actually closer to Norway than to London!). If there's so much as a sprinkling of snow over here, airports shut down and there are car crashes everywhere - meanwhile in Norway, it's business as usual. Also in Norway, if you have a car you must by law fit winter tyres during snow season.
People make a lot of assumptions when taking a test, and a common one is: when I answer all questions correctly, I get a the best score (a 10, an A+, or a 1, depending on your country's system). So they try. They answer in "test mode". My guess is it would affect mediocre students most.

But, to put it in your words: exam tackling strategies are not vital real-world skills.
You're right about the narrowing, but that misses the point. Regardless of the narrowing, the fact that the Capitol Insurrection even happened is what gives grounds that the platform does not sufficiently restrict fighting words.

Had Wednesday not happened, there would be no ability to consider the language in scope as such.

Vague threats were made, impressions were that there was no telling whether or not they were serious, and then the insurrection happened.
That was not my question. My question was "if there is possibility of harm (that 5G can be harmful), how would you find it, identify what it is?"
Violence should always be a last resort. The idea is to give people other options so they never feel the need to go there.

What are you proposing?
That's quite an extraordinary claim, do you have anything to back that up?
In the summer it's so nice to jog early in the morning it becomes a tiny subconscious addiction. I don't even need an alarm.

Ah! Normally when I read about wild bees in the US I assume they are talking about native species, not honeybees. This makes more sense now.
But all the citations are going to mention that or it's just another chemical.

The average HN-er seems be more right wing than in most comment sections, so I was curious whether balanced means "fits my politics" or the more subtle "I'm only asking questions about the election"-ing on individual articles e.g. I could see the length of the Trump-Russia article annoying a few people here who seem to believe it's completely made up
I've worked remotely for 20 years on both salary and hourly (consulting). I found it especially hard to 'unplug' when working hourly, as you always feel like you could be making money. Doing laundry? You can get an hour billable while waiting. Watching a movie? Is the movie good enough you want to give up 2 hours billable? Also, this can be a lot worse when you're younger, just starting out, and money is generally tighter...Kids, mortgage, school loans can all make extra money from overtime very attractive.

On salary, I find its easy to lose track of time on an interesting problem. You get 'in the zone' and time just flies by...

As I've gotten older the first problem has sort of naturally resolved itself, as I start to value leisure over bill rate. Getting older - not only does your income tend to go up, but expenses can come down. Things like school loans, car notes and mortgages may be paid off. Kids grow up and become established in their own careers, requiring less support.

I still have the second problem though. In this case, I generally find having other _people_ ping me to be much more effective then alarms and to-do lists. Its too easy to turn off an alarm or ignore a list. Interacting with an actual person is much harder to ignore :-P
For most of human history a single book took months or years of work by a skilled worker to make a single copy. It follows that our predecessors copied those books believed to be of value. This filtering process continued for many dozens of generations. Due to this selection mechanism it’s unsurprising that the quality of the surviving works is so high.
Totally agree. If the new version of a library requires a slightly updated usage; please just give me simple examples of how to update my code. Include a simple regex. And while we’re are it, let’s standardize how we provide those upgrade scripts. So when snyk tells me there’s and issue, it also easy to find and apply the necessary code changes (at least for the simplest 90% of cases).

Like python’s “2to3”.

It’s not a magic bullet; the developer still benefits from thorough testing, but I think changelogs could stand to improve in a lot of projects.

But to be honest Parler is also going into this basket, they also overstate freedom of speech, which is in the long run practically impossible for any centralized service especially for those operated in the USA.

> people have a right to any platform they are able to create.

This argument is becoming increasingly disingenuous based on actions of just the last few days.

Didn’t Parler go ahead and do exactly what you recommended?

* cut off from Google Play and Apple Store. Most people don’t even have personal computers anymore, so their phone / IPad is the only way to access the platforms.

* Apple doesn’t allow side loading. Google makes it less and less viable and so many necessary APIs are moved out of the open Android Sdk and into the gated Play APIs.

* As if to demonstrate the absolute futility of your suggestion, AWS cut off Parler‘s servers.

* Any site need some sort of financial API. How many times have we seen companies like Stripe, GoFundMe, Visa and MasterCard, and even large banks give in to the mob.

* every other required piece of the puzzle will do the same: DNS providers, CDNs, and even the large backbone ISPs. Sorry, bigot, but we’ve decided we won’t be routing your traffic through our exchange.

* Even power companies are privatized in the US. Sorry, just go make your own power grid, right?
I've heard "f stab" a few times, although it's always been somewhat tongue in cheek. I've not heard it as a genuine misunderstanding of the canonical pronunciation.
I feel obligated to point out the existence of the "array" package in the Python standard library: https://docs.python.org/3/library/array.html

This is poorly thought out. It’s clear that there were no actual experts in the room.

Trust is something we used to count on years ago. Since cryptography has gone mainstream, we don’t rely so much on trust but instead verification and zero knowledge systems.

Rather than the clean network, they should be making the Verified and Cryptographically private and secure network.
The bar to be fired in large bureaucratic companies is usually pretty high. Like you'd have to physically assault your coworkers or steal money from the company account.

It makes zero sense to keep people who are being fired, they are being fired for a reason.

If you're talking about normal employees. They can take holidays anytime (what's the holiday allowance in the US?). Large companies usually have a concept of sabbatical, you can take a large break (let's say 3 months) after some years of service.

You'd just have to agree to the agreement to be tracked first.

Though, GDPR stipulates that if it's a legal requirement for the service to work (which is the case) then it's not required to log visitor approval.
And I disagree, platforms are not monopolies. Your public utility is a different category because they are PHYSICAL infrastructure - you can't easily compete among providers for service due to real world physical limits.

But you can make your own software stack, from the ground up if needed.

I mean this is HN, where people think dropbox is easily cloned over a weekend (it's just rsync and tftp), twitter employs 10 times as many people as needed since it really only take a few dozen, etc. And, the free market plus private corporations are part of the natural order of the world, why weren't they the 11th commandment God etched on the tablets given to Abraham?

Quit moaning on a web forum about how a non-government entity must accommodate your chat needs, and actually make your own. Or go old school and print all the crap you want to distribute. Last I checked the Constitution didn't guarantee your access to social media. Can't really say the Founding Fathers original intent was that you can hit the like button on some post hosted by a private corporation, no matter what.
I wonder what part of twitter you would like to replace/keep. I think you can learn a lot from them. I love their subsciption mechanism and the easy engagement. The absence of preassure for producing elaborate content (like in blogs) is great and horrible. It just attracts bad/emotional content.

RSS couldn’t do it’s on its own as it’s just a mechanism to distribute content. Less technical content creators would still want somewhere to publish the content to and on the consuming side there would need to be a discovery mechanism.
The violence was his only option to be know by many people. Wanting to be know by many people is not valid use of violence. That is what I propose. If you cant convince people to follow you in your community and then enlarge it like any other political operatives in the same period did, then you accept that you failed to find followers.

Bombing is not valid option. I am saying that Ted Kaczynski had no option other then violence complete nonsense.
I frequently get mails from banks and other service providers with subject lines like 'changes to our agreement'. I don't read those either. Mind you, it might be fun to send a few unilateral changes back their way, detailed in a suitably upbeat or condescending letter.
