I think the crux of the issue is not freedom of speech, but rather determining what counts as harmful disinformation. I imagine we all agree that disinformation should be curbed; the point of contention is precisely where we should draw the line.

The violent, seditious sentiments present in America today are a direct result of people being permitted to pander dangerous lies with no consequences, lies which have caused deaths, and will cause more. If the GOP had not been able to lie about election fraud, the Capitol attack might not have happened.

At the same time, it's hard to draw the line between a mere falsehood and a dangerous one. In hindsight we can tell that a conspiracy theory claiming that the world is controlled by a cabal of Jewish pædophiles with space lasers is dangerous, but what about when it was new? In a democracy with a variety of views, it is hard for there to be government-sanctioned truths.

Without wanting to be too cynical, it's also worth pointing out that there's lots of precedent for the government stripping minorities of their rights in the name of national security. The only difference here is that the minority being targeted happens to be White.

There are few things that make me angrier than when a Harley-Davidson style motorcycle (or a pack of them) drive past me while I’m walking down the street.

You make a good point, but for cash benefit, each individual person must fill out the claim form at [0]. It's not clear up front how Byzantine that process might be, but they're at least asking for detailed documentation of records Epic must already have on file. Payments are capped at $50 per person. $26.5 million is merely an upper limit on the total of all payments, but that requires at least 530,000 people successfully completing max-value claims.

"Incitement" and "imminent lawless action" are extremely narrow compared to what people are talking about here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio

This is quaint and wholesome. I long for the simpler days when I could agree with this, blissful in my naivety of large scale organizations.

Nowadays, I accept this reality is largely impossible and you must always draw some boundary. This doesn't mean all your developers should use a shared MySQL because nobody knows how to bootstrap the database- but it means you have to consciously decide where you sit on the continuum. Always expecting to run the whole system on your laptop (or even in a cloud) is also an unreasonable expectation, unless you're Netflix and your revenue per employee is into the millions. The reasons for this are many and complicated, but at a high level the work required to make it happen will cost too much and won't be a priority.

I'll quote here from the excellent "Testing Microservices the Sane Way" by Cindy Sridharan:

> asking to boot a cloud on a dev machine is equivalent to becoming multi-substrate, supporting more than one cloud provider, but one of them is the worst you’ve ever seen (a single laptop)

Why not?

* If these consoles have no more utility, people will throw them away, and they will end up in a landfill. When this happens, they will want to buy a new console to play new games, and Nintendo will sell it to them.

* With more consoles in the trash, there will be less circulating in the world, creating a shortage and inflating the value of old IP. They can profit off of this by re-releasing or re-mastering those old games on new consoles (until those too are deprecated and the cycle repeats)

* Nintendo is taking actions to deteriorate the utility of peoples' old consoles. They do this by halting development of new games for it, shutting down online services, and shutting down digital sales of games.

* Nintendo is funding a lobbyist group that is fighting to prevent consumers from modifying their hardware to extend its useful life

* If people are allowed to jailbreak their console, a "homebrew" software community may take off, which could lead to customers willing to pay money for software by third party publishers; aka, competition for Nintendo within their own walled garden.

Based on those observations, it's obvious what Nintendo's position on the issue is. The path of least resistance and most profit is to encourage (or force) customers to throw their old consoles away and buy new ones.

Maybe they don't care if it specifically goes to a landfill, but they certainly want it in the trash.

It's so far been in the hands of the courts, and like you said, they don't determine what's free speech based on whether something makes us feel bad.

Per bhupy, their specific criteria is whether the speech is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action".

If the misinformation on certain media outlets is considered by the courts to have incited the insurrection , then it may not be considered free speech.
I’ve been reading Cowen for nearly twenty years. He plays dumb when he gets caught out (“I’m not really a macroeconomist,” “I’m not really familiar with Keynes,” etc). Think of him as a lawyer representing his client. He’s not going to introduce evidence that hurts his case.
This is why I think the proper crypto currencies are backed by another functional use instead of "just coins." (e.g. Ethereum vs. Bitcoin)—one is a useful Turing-complete machine; the other only exists to send coins.

Bitcoin will probably always outshine the other "just coins" because it was the first. Why get another coin if this one works fine for monetary transactions?

Similarly with the functional ones: Ethereum will probably always outshine the other "Global Turing Machines" because it was the first. We don't really need another one—assuming it can adapt to changes in efficiency with hard-forks as needed.

The rest of them really ought to provide another service underneath to become valuable.

Ask HN: What topics do you think are valuable in secure coding training?
I've been tasked with revamping our onboarding training for secure software development. We have to cater to all skill-sets, from someone just starting out to a senior engineer. Its a one hour session that all new developers at our company have to take, and its currently quite dull. For example, it spends about 15-20 minutes on user password storage/hashing, which is something our developers should never need to do themselves.

What security topics do you think would be valuable for new developers to get exposure to during on boarding?
I have tendencies to want to do this, but I choose to stop myself, to remember that random (hopefully) people on the Internet aren't necessarily more reliable than some random article on the Internet.

Quite a few people are suggesting that, when it's time to share your code with others, maybe you should squash/rebase it to clean things up. That's totally up to you... but just know that not everyone thinks rebasing is a good idea. See [1], for example.

[1] https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/rebaseharm.md

I think we often feel the urge to rebase and squash not because it actually makes our code changes easier to understand, but because it makes us feel better about ourselves. That's a red flag. Understanding how you got to the goal -- encoding all the fumbles and disoriented thoughts right in the commit history -- that can be a genuine benefit to the reader. Who do we really help by pretending that we're more organized, coherent, and linear than we actually were?

The CPU part I mentioned is mostly a side thought. Risking being incorrect here, but I thought with ILGPU using CPU device means you can use .NET debugger to debug your code, which is a huge advantage.

ILGPU's main brilliancy though is support for most interesting platforms: Windows, Linux, MacOS, and maybe even Android (via opencl). Also, hopefully, Nvidia-based IoT boards (via CUDA and OCL).

DX12 coverage is way less, and only really brings XBox to the table.

I am not saying your project is bad. It is also brilliant! I would love to work on it too, if days had just over 32-36 hours instead of 24 :-) But as a consumer of .NET open source package ecosystem, it would be MUCH better not to write GPGPU code twice using one library first for Mac, Linux and Android, and then again using another library for XBox (either works on Windows).

So I am asking you to be open minded here and seriously consider joining ILGPU project.

P.S. personally, I found ILGPU a few months ago, and I am in no way part of the project (yet).

The closest that's actively used is Wabtec's FLXdrive, which is a battery-powered locomotive run between two conventional diesel-electrics.

> Sugar derived from cane and beet and honey are exactly as bad for your health as high-fructose corn syrup.

While equivalent (calorically) amounts of other sugars certainly isn't good for you, there is a growing consensus that fructose (and thus HFCS, and probably honey, though I'm not aware of studies to the latter effect) is subtly different enough to be worse for most people over the long term, even when taking into consideration that less is needed because it is sweeter.

The ratio of fructose to glucose seems to be one important factor, another is whether the fructose and glucose are bound together into sucrose (it doesn't seem like this paper addresses the latter point).

HFCS and honey both have a higher amount of fructose than glucose, and contain these components mostly in 'free' form, sugarcane and beets produce mostly sucrose, in which the ratio of fructose to glucose is equal and the sugars are mostly bound together into sucrose.

Although the effect of these differences is subtle, other research suggests that chronic consumption of fructose in free form causes changes in insulin response that in turn are responsible for both reduced satiation and weight gain (assuming sufficient calories). Caloric restriction can counteract the weight gain, but not the other changes.

The mechnisms for this have not been entirely clear. This paper describes some changes in cellular preference for some metabolic pathways over others that among other things in turn promote inflammatory responses. As a layman it is tempting to 'connect the dots', as inflammation is (generally, and indirectly) implicated (by other research) in various conditions, but this paper by itself doesn't actually do that. Though it does seem like an important step forward to doing so.

There are a whole host of questions this opens up, like "is this inflammatory response observable in particular tissues (pancreatic, white vs. brown fat, etc.)?", "how is this inflammatory response linked to changes in insulin response (in various tissues)?", "what else does this change in preference for particular metabolic pathways affect?", "what other alternate metabolic pathways might be affected by differences in nutrient ratios, or by the presence or absence of other nutrients?", "Does this help explain the difference in effect of consuming some foods in processed form (eg. Eating fruit vs. drinking juice)?", etc.

Intriguing and suggestive questions to be sure, but as yet unanswered (particularly by this paper in isolation).
You could pay someone else to take the tests for you. Now I wonder how widespread that is.

It's unlikely they put any effort into intentionally make them run slower, it's just that they are written to work optimally on Chrome and minor differences in the behavior of things like the V8 vs. SpiderMonkey and Blink vs Gecko. Given that each one is written with different tradeoffs, it's not surprising things perform differently.

Whether or not the Google programmers use specific proprietary knowledge about the behavior of Chrome to optimize performance is different. If they do, that would be similar to the things that got Microsoft in trouble.
As someone that worked at an OEM, updating used to be a huge hassle and required a lot of R&D work. Project Treble definitely simplified this effort and I'm glad this is enabling and making life better for users.

> In this case, is the misinformation present directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action?

We have several Supreme Court decisions that can help answer this question. First of all, misinformation was established to be protected speech in NYTimes vs Sullivan, where the SCOTUS unanimously found that the New York Times was within its rights to publish an advertisement containing factual inaccuracies[1].

Brandenburg v Ohio (also unanimous[2]) explicitly established the "imminent lawless action" test as overriding the "clear and present danger" test; which was further reinforced by Hess v Indiana in which the court found that Hess's words were protected by the First Amendment because his speech amounted to "nothing more than the advocacy of illegal action at some indefinite future time"; i.e. failing the "imminence" portion of the "imminent lawless action" test [3].

> While it's not the best, people are familiar with it. The replacement is certainly more accurate.

The entire point is that what people are familiar with is incorrect and should no longer be considered a valid argument. In fact, the irony of this logic is that one could argue that advocating for limiting speech by falsely citing an overturned precedent as currently relevant is itself misinformation that can be legally regulated even under the First Amendment; we would both agree that that is nonsense.

Technically, Linux and macOS allow to build a shared library with undefined symbols and let the loader figure it out, but I wouldn't recommend it (it's easy to miss linker errors). On Windows, however, this is not possible.

EDIT: also, building with unresolved symbols requires the host application to know about and link all the required external libraries, which is usually not what you want...
Let me enumerate the ways.

1. Starlink satellites have Ku and Ka transceivers for uplink and downlink. They simply aren't capable of talking to any Mars probes using X band radios for Earth communications which is all of the current and near future ones.

2. A phased array can use beam forming to "aim" and to use aggregate receivers for resolution but they're seeing limited. Tiny receivers on Starlink satellites (even arrayed) would be no good for Mars probes even if they covered the right bands.

3. Every element involved in the question is in motion relative to every other element. Starlink satellites have orbital periods of about 90 minutes. Each satellite would only have Mars visible for at best half its orbit. With Mars effectively a point source any Starlink satellites arrayed to receive signals from Mars would need to rotate in sync to keep Mars in view. That necessitates pointing all a satellite's other antennas away from each other and Earth since they're all bus mounted. This means they can't simultaneously do Starlink and Mars relay tasks and you'd need a lot of Starlink sats to even begin to effectively receive Mars transmissions.
I agree that many people think that, but it gets the chronology precisely backwards. CNN has been on the air since 1980. Fox News didn't even exist until 1996, and didn't become popular until 2000. Fox News is a response to media bias,[1] not the other way around.

[1] And by "bias" I don't necessarily mean open bias. CNN wasn't partisan in the 1990s like it is today. But it still provided news filtered through a liberal ideology. For example, 71% of republicans say religion "does more good than harm in American society" versus 44% of democrats: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/11/15/republicans.... If you limit the analysis to white Democrats (the people who run newsrooms) the disparity is even starker: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/05/23/religiously... ("Religiously, nonwhite Democrats are more similar to Republicans than to white Democrats").

Do you think that someone who believes religion is an negative force in society, maybe jokes about religious people to friends after work will report on COVID-related church closings the same way as someone who believes religious practice is important to societal health? Even if they are acting utterly in good faith, their ideology can't help but influence their choice of stories, the gloss they put on developments, etc.

> Why does a classics degree cost the same as a CS degree when the market value of a classics degree is basically zero?

Because it has a large numbers of applicants. It's offer and demand.

> Universities also get a lot of their prestige from research and the majority of their effort is typically not spent on undergraduate education. This means professors are not typically rewarded for being (or even expected to be) excellent teachers.

Something I've noticed and take this with a grain of salt as this is a sample=1 observation is that the better researchers (more publications, better funded labs) were generally also better teachers.
Lots of students who go to lower tier schools don't even know that their 'elite' peers are working on things like projects, OSS, or interview prep. I personally had never heard of a hackathon until after I started uni, but lots of my classmates had already been to dozens in high school. The real issue with going to a bad college is students have no idea what they're supposed to do to get a job. Those students are dead last in a game they don't even know they're playing. It happens organically at a good school.
