It's just thinly veiled protectionism - not uncommon for "consumer protection" schemes sadly.
Pretty wild how this wasn't the only guy with bombs. Someone else caught had a lot of weapons, and a friend & foe list. On the friend list was insurrection leader Ted Cruz.

This was the definition of a coup. With there being a legislative and a violent branch. Both coordinated with each other to an extent, and one had a huge role in inciting the other.

Trump even said before telling his supporters to march to the Capitol that "weak" Republicans needed to be pressured. As in the ones that didn't sign up to the coup attempt yet. That is what the siege was about, getting a few more votes to try to save Donald.

Crazy.

Even crazier, about 150 Republicans still tried to go through with it after police restored law and order.

Much more crazy, Matt Gaetz took the peace offered by the police crushing the siege to blame antifa. Despite his supporters just hours previous swarming the halls with Trump's flags wrapped around themselves.
In the FAQ, I'd suggest adding the words price & pricing. That way I can ctrl-f to either "price", or "pricing".

To my weird brain, and after studying accounting, the word "cost" is more of a business/accounting perspective of "expense".

Whereas the word "price" seems to be more of a consumer perspective of "expense".

Yes, it's a little pedantic ;)

Cost: "(of an object or action) require the payment of (a specified sum of money) before it can be acquired or done."

Price: "the amount of money expected, required, or given in payment for something."

I think it's because:

Costing = Accounting. It's the "science" of determining the expense of producing a product or service.

Pricing = Marketing. Marketing is what consumers experience.

You should be blogging...and you can, as long as you avoid saying any of the Things You Can't Say, which seems to mean following a template, which means the content gets bland and repetitive - unless it is technical, in which case it's special interest and the censors lose interest.

(That's actually my best guess as to why HN has stayed high quality all these years - minimal politics.)

Bloging, or writing, is just thinking out loud. Thinking about the real world outside of technology can easily yield heterodox conclusions that are better off not published these days.
What? That makes no sense.

Twitter can’t stop Trump from publishing his own website, nor shouting in a public square, nor just talking in front of the live camera he literally had in his own home but seemed unable to use.
I don’t understand either, but lots of people appear to be doing lots of things I don’t understand. So I’m going to assume that people will continue us to trust them going forward, even if I think they shouldn’t.
Hitting a container is not that negligible. Vendee Globe had a number of UFO causalities, with a number of boats having to retire, one even breaking in half and sinking (the skipper was saved by one of the other competitors). There is the Jules Verne Trophy going on right now, hitting a container at 40 knots is not going to be pretty and these guys have no support boats around to help (the JVT is a single boat trying to go around the world as fast as possible). Even commercial powered boats are not going to be really happy about hitting a container.

I think you read too much into their comment. You can't deduce from the comment that they're any kind of apologist. They just made the assumption that there must already be more cameras and surveillance but they didn't state their opinion on that.

Now, to give you my opinion on it. I completely share your concerns but I think that when it comes to something as significant as the capitol, more surveillance and cameras should be warranted.
Still not a variant of the former joke. The latter is about the meaning of "or" in a logic or coding context vs its meaning in human languages.
That's not true. You misunderstand the rules.

Google: "closed shop vs union shop" and you will see.

Basically you cannot have a business that only hires from a union, but you can have a business that requires you to join a union after being hired meaning the union cannot prevent you from joining them.

Or in other words in non-right-to-work states you can be forced to join a union.

Sure, but again, this is a story about the controversy. I knew Alexander's real name when the story broke a few months ago, and I flagged posts here that used it, because again: what would be the point? But in a profile of Alexander in the NYT? With his name so obviously available? Why would the NYT be obligated to pretend they didn't know what his name was, or to collaborate with Alexander on how best to portray him? They're reporting on Alexander, not for him.
States are sovereign entities that made a choice years ago to join together in a federal union. The parameters of that union are spelled out in the Constitution -- you remove that Constitution at peril of the continued existence of that union.

Amendments, like the 17th, are one way to change that union, with the consent of those members of it -- but if you push too far there won't be a union any more, because a portion of those states will walk away from a union no longer defined as they define it.

> It has never been the case that journalists have honored a right to public pseudonymity.

Even if this is true, that doesn't make it right.

> ordinary life, where the things people say in different places are profoundly relevant to their reputation and credibility

That depends on why you are interested in their reputation and credibility. I'm not saying there are never cases where it's justified to reveal things the person would rather not reveal. But "we're writing a story and we have a policy" is not enough justification (even if the policy is consistently understood by all the newspaper's employees, which it doesn't seem like it was in this case). There needs to be an actual reason why people have a right to know details about a person that that person would rather keep private, and it has to be a strong enough reason to outweigh that person's choices.

In this case, we're talking about someone's blog, and the whole point of a blog is that it stands or falls by what is written there and what is referenced there, and personal details about the writer that aren't included are irrelevant. So it seems like this is an obvious case where a choice to remain anonymous should be respected.

> Even if private censorship is allowed, that doesn't make it a good idea if it causes people to leave for some Voat-like cesspool where they won't encounter ordinary people anymore.

Absent access to "ordinary people" to recruit to violent causes, the inhabitants of such a "cesspool" will likely bore of their own conversation.

If, as you state, any of them are engaged in illegal provocation to violence, they will be easier to find there, since they lack the shield generated by the noise of "ordinary" conversation.

Besides, nobody is going to "helped" away from violent provocation by casually interacting with them social media. The only thing that can help such people is real in-person and trusted interaction, like at church, with a community help group, or with a therapist.

At best social media can be used to identify candidates to be offered an off-ramp from the road they are on, but that needs to be done by people who do de-radicalization as a full time job or mission, not casual social media acquaintances. Very few people are dedicated to that kind of work today.
I banned it a while ago because it seemed obvious that there would be no non-flamewar threads about these articles, and HN isn't a site for flamewars.

Re the other comments in this thread: no moderators did anything—we didn't even see this post until someone just pointed it out. The question about /ask is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html (see "Why hasn't my submission appeared on Ask HN or Show HN?")
Yes, it is a good thing there are no Things You Cannot Say here at HN. People only get downvoted into oblivion and threads removed for contentless comments.
This is great advice. Your company is a small consultancy though, not an individual consultant.

I read your Twitter thread. It makes sense but I am still not sure how I as an individual can get my foot in the door. It seems you are saying I should incorporate and work as a company. But my current company and pretty much every company I worked for has a process to vet vendors. They would easily see that this LLC is a brand new company with one owner/person.

My current Fortune 50 company has a policy that requires additional approvals for newer and smaller companies. My friend has 10+ years old recruiting firm, I tried to get him to work with my company as a vendor. But it was rejected because they said his company was too young, and had too few employees (it is just him and his wife). They asked him to work through one of their vendors, and all of our vendors also rejected to work with him because of his size.
If I was writing a blog post about an online persona and they requested that I not use their real life name due to fear of job loss or violence, and their given name added no journalistic value to the piece, I'd be a real dick to print their name anyway.

I don't think anyone at the NYT intended to cause him any harm, but organizationally they acted like a dick.
>Third, the entire concept of smaller states having an outsized voice in the federal government comes from the slave owners from the South in 1789. There's no rational basis for it any longer.

No. It had to do with Connecticut, New Jersey and other small population states who wouldn't have ratified the Constitution unless there was state representation (as we have in the Senate) to balance out the representation by population (cf. The Connecticut Compromise[0]).

The southern states had (or expected to have) large populations, and as such, wanted representation by population.

History and facts matter.

Ocado started deliveries in 2002 selling products from Waitrose shelves, but it was only in major cities (maybe just London?).

Around the same time Tesco (I can't find exact dates, but when I started working there in 2004 it had already been around for a while) launched their competing service, however they did so across the whole country (at any store big enough and with enough parking space to support it).
> You can bet that once the battery technology becomes cheap enough to stuff into cars with Corolla price tags, Toyota will be doing it, and they will be the #1 seller of EV's in terms of sales volume.

Maybe. But you are assuming the cost of battery technology will be the same for everyone. Currently it seems like Tesla is about 3-5 years ahead of everyone in terms of price & performance. What happens if/ when[1] Tesla launches an EV at Corolla prices and Toyota is still waiting for battery prices to come down?

I think it's far more likely at this point that Tesla will have a $25k EV in the next 5 years than Toyota.

> accountability for people to stand by their /should/ reduce 'fake news' where people can just say whatever they like

The way you do that is to look at what sources the person gives for the claims they are making. Not by revealing personal details that the person has chosen to keep private, and which are irrelevant to the claims they are making.

Scott Alexander was pretty meticulous about citing sources, so to say he should have been doxxed to "preserve accountability" is way off the mark.

There’s a lot of false equivalence in this post. The message seems to be “if you want to build amazing new things, don’t A/B test.” This is vacuously true. You certainly won’t discover fusion, or make the next iCar through rote testing.

What’s hidden though is that out of the thousands of companies that will try, only a few will succeed. The rest will burn through millions and have nothing to show for it. A/B tests are done because they work in the short term, providing runway for the long term. It’s true that many companies abuse these tests and heavily lean on incremental improvements. Management can become complacent, spineless and rudderless, thereby refusing to make hard choices that go against the data. But, it keeps volatility down and appeases the overlords holding shares and vested interest in the company.

It does make wonder though how, despite being so secretive, Apple got a lot of things right with the iPhone and iPod. So whatever their process was for internal focus groups is definitely worth exploring. We’ve all heard how Jobs was insanely attentive to details, but I still wonder where the overall cohesion of design came from. No one person could have possibly gotten all of that right.

Parler was bigger than Gab. It remains to be seen whether the scale presents an issue.

Ohio] the Court held that inflammatory speech--and even speech advocating violence by members of the Ku Klux Klan--is protected under the First Amendment, unless the speech "is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action"."

But that isn't the case where the phrase "fire in a crowded theater" came from and that quote doesn't even appear to cover the phrase itself, since a panic is potentially dangerous but not illegal.

Here's some more on why the phrase should be discontinued:

https://www.popehat.com/2012/09/19/three-generations-of-a-ha...

Bottom line, it's too vague to mean anything because all it implies is that unprotected speech exists without specifying any meaningful boundaries for it, so people regularly quote it in support of arbitrary overreach.

Ask HN: What coding task everyone hates do you secretly enjoy?
I secretly enjoy parsing really nasty semi-structured documents.
First, you responded to a comment saying other news organizations wrote about "the issue" without using his name with a request for examples, so the New Yorker is one.

Second, the NYT isn't obligated to withhold his name, just like the NYT isn't obligated to pretend what Trump says makes sense, or to fact-check its own Iraq WMD reporting, or to publish Tom Cotton, or to publish CCP apologia for the Hong Kong crackdown. It's just making a bunch of decisions that positively and negatively impact its reputation. [Considering] publishing Scott's last name was one that negatively impacted it with no appreciable upside; nobody who read a putative article about him without his real last name would have cared.

If you ever try to port systemd code to non-Linux platforms you will see that this is not true. There are lots of things in Linux that have no real analog on other platforms, and it seems strange to fault a project for taking advantage of those. (BSD is the same way when you get into that too)
