Can you give examples of specific language features of go that prevent you from making questionable design choices, that require you to "get the design right up front"?

When I hear that, the first things that come to mind are things like haskell's IO monad, which forces you to model IO better than go or most other languages, or haskell's other state monads which similarly force you to model state more explicitly.

I think of rust's lifetime and ownership system, which forces you to correctly model the ownership of types and prevents quite a few bad design patterns (which I see constantly in go btw; the number of times I've seen races due to multiple goroutines writing to a struct is large, the number of times I've seen incorrect synchronization that rust would have prevented is large).

I can't think of anything in go that pushes you towards designing your code well in go, especially when compared to languages with more complete type-systems.

Did you try? i did.

All speech is free speech. Avoid hyperbole here because it doesn't help. Your examples both kinds of speech that people think should be limited, trying to discard one as not speech rather than focusing at hand on what speech should be limited does nothing but rile up those that disagree with your examples.
> Would it be OK if AWS pulled the plug on you if you criticized Bezos or consumerism or big tech in general?

Considering that AWS hosts the National Enquirer, which posted certain, erm, compromising things about Bezos, I think it's safe to say that this analogy has been debunked in practice.

AWS seems to be drawing a bright line at credible threats of violence, and I don't think that is a slippery slope at all.

> Parler was a hate site

Have you seen Twitter, Reddit? It's filled with hate, conspiracy, radicalization and racism.

It's astounding how quickly people fall back to their dfault political leanings and stop being objective.

If they can do this to Parler citing politically motivated excuse to shut them down, what stops your company from getting booted off the internet because some of your users posted "lets blow stuff up"?

This sets a dangerous precedent going forward and it affects all of us regardless of your political spectrum. I get that AWS is an independent commercial entity that has its own terms but do you realize the problem of trusting billionaires and their monopoly to always do the right thing?

Tomorrow, the currents might change, and it could be you too.

Nothing about the virus is going to be 100% effective. It's a matter of compositing things that are 60% effective and 90% effective and 50% effective.

If they require testing which is 80% effective, and masks which are 80% effective, and get vaccination up to xx%... etc etc. You eliminate vectors for the virus one at a time and eventually there aren't enough vulnerable people contacting each other in ways that are contagious.

(Percentages are guesses)
What bothers me about this article is that it tries to present a logical argument that tech monopolies are a problem, wrapped in a political rhetoric about how liberals are authoritarian. It starts off as an interesting perspective but ends up as inflammatory whataboutism that doesn't engage deeply with the issue.

This is a really interesting moment in history to think about censorship, platforms, speech, and monopoly. We can do a lot better than this article.
"False positive" isn't really an accurate term there.

If there's no virus, you're not going to be able to amplify it. A too-high threshold may detect non-contagious levels of virus (still a concern, if you're in the early pre-symptomatic days of an infection) or non-infectious virus particles left over post-infection.
> Can they require this for flu?

I think they should. But the flu isn't as virulent as COVID.

You can't get HIV by someone breathing on you. How many people do you usually share needles with on airplanes?
To give more context to this: imagine a seller that defines as a rule to discriminate clients by their skin color.

On Windows, this seems to work for the browser plugin, but the .ocx (used e.g. by the JPEXS Flash decompiler – they also have a built-in player, but that unfortunately seems somewhat buggy) didn't like the expiration time stamp being set to infinity. Setting some other time stamp far in the future does work though, even if philosophically it's not quite the same as literal infinity.
The reason is the US has more infections than almost anywhere else so the enemy is already inside.
In this article, I’m going to give you some tips about how being more positive. Positive people can help you achieve your dreams while negative people seize such dreams from you.

I would much rather see something more decentralized. It seems like politics is increasingly looking like whichever party is in power uses their power to get more power.

There is definitely an argument to be made that the Internet is so much ingrained in society that denying people Internet access is like denying people access to grocery stores and electricity.

In most countries they just want a negative test from the origin country, so the country being visited doesn't have to spend a test for the tourist. But it's not bulletproof, if someone tests false negative and flies and infects a few others.

Questions to Get to Know Someone
Perhaps mine is a bit of a strange/controversial view among the HN crowd - but I find the conflation of "right to free speech" and "right to a platform for said speech" to be odd.

I don't agree that "infringement of free speech" can happen in a commercial context. The right to free speech is the right that you cannot have government force act on you for what you are saying; e.g. the government has no right to tell you "don't say this or it will have consequences". As for private contracts: Trying to enforce "free speech" that must not be infringed upon in private contracts would also mean all NDAs are always void, and would be a huge intrusion into another liberty: That of entering into arbitrary agreements with each other.

The .cn regulator cracking down on Ant Financial because they did not like what Jack Ma said is an infringement on free speech. A private business actor deciding to terminate a contract because they don't like the business partner is not.

Norman Davies, the British-Polish historian specializing in East Europe and fascinated by Poland in particular, agrees.

https://www.msn.com/pl-pl/wiadomosci/polska/norman-davies-%E...

He also said Polish priests hoped for theocracy in reward for their support against the communist state as it was falling apart.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Polska/comments/7c30dz/polski_probo...

He is overall very sympathetic towards Poland, speaks the language quite well, and thinks people should learn more about it. Timothy Snyder is another one. I like non-Polish historians because they have a different view.
I'm totally ok with covid19 positive Canadians being stuck an unable to return home until they test negative. That's fair.

But people are getting stuck because they can't get results back in the 72 hour window. That's really not cool.

The "change password" button leading to an opaque tracker is inexcusable. That said, the "safe" way to handle this is the same way you do with cold calls. Ignore any calls to action in the email, go to Ubiquiti's website on your own, and change your password. If it was a phishing attempt, worst case, you updated your password which is not a bad practice every once in a while.
How would you expect that to actually work though? If a goroutine could be arbitrarily stopped at any point, that would trivially lead to degenerate program states. A lock could be held open or another goroutine could be waiting on it for a message.
I'm not sure you have actually shown the equivalency.

But if you did, how is that different from worker protections or consumer protections or environmental protections or mandatory seatbelt or million other laws?
"Of course there's the problem of where the line should be drawn and who should draw it"

That's not "a problem", that's the only problem.

But a Ministry of Truth would be worse.

I am willing to build and maintain mental, emotional and psychological armor against very negative, harmful speech if it helps avoid erecting a Ministry of Truth.

It isn't even 80% effective from the scientific journals I've read last year, the best they can do is 40% and lower, I think there is some inherent limitation in its accuracy.

I'd like to point out that many countries aren't running multiple tests to make up for this low accuracy like South Korea. It is the general consensus among experts that the actual case numbers are far far higher than what is reported

So if the 40% rate is true then the law of large number suggests the screening test is completely useless because it misses the 60% of the time. It's just like the Casino where the virus has a huge edge over our detection and prevention measures.

Yes, this would certainly be naughty under current law, but perhaps not in a legal regime where "all speech is OK!" Note that the overt act need not be committed by the speaker, too.

There's even ambiguity about elements of this in current law. If one were to advocate for the violent overthrow of the government, and begin running training exercises to help people prepare to overthrow the government at some unspecified future date--- it is unclear whether this is protected by the First Amendment. SCOTUS mentioned -- but did not address -- this problem in Stewart v McCoy (2002):

... While the requirement that the consequence be “imminent” is justified with respect to mere advocacy, the same justification does not necessarily adhere to some speech that performs a teaching function. As our cases have long identified, the First Amendment does not prevent restrictions on speech that have “clear support in public danger.” Thomas v. Collins, 323 U.S. 516, 530 (1945). Long range planning of criminal enterprises–which may include oral advice, training exercises, and perhaps the preparation of written materials–involves speech that should not be glibly characterized as mere “advocacy” and certainly may create significant public danger. Our cases have not yet considered whether, and if so to what extent, the First Amendment protects such instructional speech. Our denial of certiorari in this case should not be taken as an endorsement of the reasoning of the Court of Appeals....

Their registrar is and was epik.com, starting in 1997 according to whois records.

I can't find an obvious link between godaddy and epik (though one may exist).

Their current DNS service is provided by ... AWS :)

I'm not convinced that the quote from godaddy is technically informative here, though using the word "registrar" would seem to be more indicative of something other than hosting.
The issue is that the corporations are acting as the government. As you noted, Germany restricts speech more than the US for obvious historical reasons. So the fact that even their government objects to this behavior is evidence against your position, not mine.

In your linked comment, all of these governments recognize (3) as a scenario that should be governed by laws (which vary between countries).
IMO it would be way way worse if it was ICANN not a rando registrar.
I am talking about the scenario where there would be working on open source is the day job.

This line is exactly why ISPs should be treated as a utility and not be allowed to deny service to anyone except in special circumstances.

Bananas are relatively easy to grow in California, Florida, Louisiana, and Hawaii, and there are short-cycle varieties that are being tested in Georgia and elsewhere. I encourage everyone to grow them if your climate will allow for it -- they're one of the easiest, most-productive fruits you can grow. Here are a few resources.

You preventing signs on your lawn are fine, you preventing specific messages on systemically important communications infrastructure you happen to own is not.

You running a corner store the way you want is fine, you running the only store in the country the way you want is not.
Did you actually read what Merkel or AMLO said? The first sentence of your second paragraph ("So France and Germany could be seen as asking the US government to take a stronger stance on hate speech.") can be immediately verified to be false in the sense that you are stating it (as justification for the platforms' behavior).
What research is this? As far as I've been able to tell, CDC hasn't conducted a single randomized survey on any large group, but has only collected convenience samples.

Also keep in mind that due to compounding (keeping these people from infecting others on the plane and at home), the effect extends beyond the people prevented from traveling. You can also speculate that detectable infections are more transmissible during the journey.
i'm an advocate and adopter of federation in general, but i agree with signal's choice to decline federation.

signal is dedicated to one purpose, and that's accessible e2e crypted chat.

federation and interoperability severely complicates onboarding. if you have ever tried to get a "normal person" to use something like mastodon, you understand this risk. federation would also exacerbate spam. moderation is not possible in an e2e private messaging app, and spam is extremely user-hostile, so it's not an acceptable risk. allowing third-party and forked clients introduces a host of problems including automated client behavior that's undesirable in personal communication, malicious client behavior that users may be unaware of, and abandoned clients that lag behind upstream.

federated crypto chat exists. if you want that, go use it. if federation is really necessary for your use-case, you will be able to convince the people you are working with to come along. yes, it is the future. but socially, we're just not there yet, and a one-size-fits-most solution is important right now.
Finally. Hope it gets approved.

It's strange that they don't consider Print[T](x T) instead of Print[T any](t T). The "any" could just be omitted without loss of anything. Especially since repeated types with the same constraints indeed DO omit it! Print2[T1, T2 any]
Only if implemented in an inconsistent fashion - where travel from some areas with high levels of COVID is permitted, while travel from other areas with much lower levels of COVID is not.

Which is currently the case. For example, travel from Russia to the US is currently allowed, despite Russia having >3 million COVID cases, but travel from Finland (>37,000 COVID cases) and China (>97,000 COVID cases) is prohibited.

It's not even a quid-pro-quo, because Russia has banned travel from the United States (>22,700,000 COVID cases, FYI.)

If you want to stop travelers spreading COVID in the US, the first thing you should do is ban domestic travel, and the second thing you should do is to update the travel ban to include infection data from any point past ~April 2020.

If you're not willing to require someone flying from New York to Nashville to have a negative COVID test before getting on an airplane, you probably shouldn't spend too much time wringing your hands over someone flying from Hanoi to LA without one.
