Most engine failures are not this spectacular. If an engine is quietly shut down due to some fault, low oil pressure or high temperature or something, you'd likely never notice until the captain announced that you'd be landing at an alternate airport due to a techincal problem.

I'm not sure I'd say they happen "all the time" but engine shutdowns are not uncommon. Read avherald.com for a few weeks to see just how many technical problems come up routinely in commercial aviation.

I disagree. When you jump ship you don’t need to build track record to get a promotion but instead join at a higher level right away.

It's honestly bizarre to me to see someone claim that Sqlite has few use cases when there are likely hundreds of Sqlite files sitting in the phone in your pocket.
A lot of language-fixing slacktivism easily becomes a trend because it's highly visible and requires no genuine effort.

It's complete bullshit, though. This particular bullshit is awful since it trivializes all this historic pain to some inane game of word association.

There's no point arguing, though, just drag your heels until they get bored and go off on some other crusade.
It seems like you might have sympathies with the cancel-culture SJWs and oppose whatever this gal is behind. Rather than letting your emotions run wild, perhaps asking questions and thinking carefully might make more sense.

For instance, foremost in my thoughts is the question: to what extent do makers of effective open-source tools have any control over how they're used? Popularity for Pepe might mean use by progressives in Iran, racists in America, and regular Chinese who just want to chat without minders. Much more likely it'll be all sorts of folks who use such a tool.

I encourage you to remember that you aren't on the wrong side of cancel culture now, but you could be soon.
You’d be surprised how many people die every year from coal power exhaust.

People naturally overweight low frequency high impact events like a nuclear meltdown but drastically undervalue high frequency low impact events. Someone dying early because they lived too close to a coal plant doesn’t make the news, but in terms of actual human impact it trounces nuclear’s impact by multiple orders of magnitude.
> In a tolerant society, should we tolerate intolerance?

What if in a society once tolerant to gaybashing, and other things (not so long ago), should one not tolerate "intolerance" to this? I think your question needs re-phrased.
Julia is not just for scientific computing, though a lot of it's ecosystem is built up for that. It's a general purpose language.

That said, it's a completely different language from Python, so the comparison to Ruby/Crystal is not very apt.

Pure asafoetida is fine to use, it doesn't smell bad, it doesn't give you stomach problems. You dilute it with the food you cook with it. It doesn't need it adulterated with flour and turmeric. Here is a good brand that I like, "Best Hing Ever". Hing is another name for asafoetida.

I think the issue, if there ever becomes a protocol allowing for full freedom of speech, is that of time-resource management: if you know a certain user just isn't responsive or open to listening to reason - closed heart, closed mind - blind in rage like the boar demons in Princess Mononoke. I believe there needs to be a system to tag such individuals and then some sort of intervention in-person - we're not going to work through people's anger and build trust, relationship, with them online. I think that also then requires developing a culture - so "sheep" following the new status quo - of a protocol to help people develop their self-awareness - to gain and maintain their health, which in part is to heal past trauma that closed off their heart and mind, blocking their critical thinking and empathy development.
child pornography, child exploitation, rape, ultra violence

Sometimes people get into a position where they have to defend the indefensible, and in the process end up rhetorically fighting a rear-guard action against the truth. There was the question of a particularly horrific death video of a 7 year old girl being disemboweled (among other things) a while back. Instead of simply conceding that there is some filth that has no place in civilized societies, these absolutists stubbornly stuck to their talking points. This makes all of us look bad. People start looking at all free speech advocates as being this same level of unreasonable.

I always try go out of my way to separate my ideas of privacy protection, anti-surveillance, and free speech from those of these absolutists. I do not believe little girls should be able to be publicly raped and disemboweled, even virtually and digitally created, simply because there exists a market of sickos for it. But I do believe that unpopular opinions should be countenanced and the right to express unpopular opinions should be supported.
I find HN score partially useful - as an aggregate it tells me nothing, but the score per comment tells me when people disagree, it is a feedback loop. Sometimes I don't figure or disagree with the feedback, but it is a lot better to have it than not to have it.

I don't care of any other score in any other place, it tells me nothing.

I'm not sure how anyone holds this opinion. Do you really believe that this will result in fair, unbiased reporting? Who is the long-term great arbiter not only of the news but removal of non-news?

I'm also not sure why your worldview seems to be that given access to all opinions, the stupidest ones too, people will not and cannot learn to make informed judgements for themselves. You will see some stupidity but it's a very bleak and arrogant worldview to presume that people are incapable of making rational decisions given information and time.

That's fair. I will say that unlike previous APIs, Facebook looks to be dotting their i's and crossing their t's so that everyone is on the same page.

A reason a lot of the previous APIs were removed was because the New York Times learned that they could frame them as "Data Sharing Agreements" and have a litany of BS hit pieces that people would eat up no matter how privacy aware they were being. I remember even a piece about gmail plugins being framed as Google selling your email to third parties.

Hawaii has been open to tourists for a while and it is working out well. Every new arrival has to have a negative coronavirus test and must enable contact tracing software for the duration of their stay. Restaurants and whale watching excursions are limited to a fraction of the original capacity, but they are open. People wear masks on the beach but not in the water. Mostly, it feels pretty safe. The daily case counts in Maui over the past few days could be counted on your fingers.

In the post, they mention that each board will be moderated (filtered) by the creator, and the same goes for thread creators. Effectively it comes down to content creation and filters that can live on the client-side.

Any decentralized unauthenticated or federated social network faces the same issues around reputation, moderation and sybil attacks. Matrix, for example, has the same.

I imagine over time we'll get a growing economy of curation markets - users choose their own maintainers for allow/deny-lists and content discovery, effectively allowing them to use these networks in a way that is meaningful to them.

Some of these mechanisms are explored quite heavily by people in the Ethereum space - not necessarily with social networks in mind, but I think these kinds of mechanisms are going to play a more important role in our world in the coming decades (lest we go deeper into centralized control)
Australia is a federation of states, just like the USA. There are US states that restrict movement and gatherings for other reasons such as gang-related activity and organised crime; what was special in this case?

It’s a strange question to say individual freedom and safety are two different things. Aren’t they the same thing? What is desirable about being free but unsafe?

4chan was always kind of the "home" of Pepe memes, so it was kind of natural that the racists, incels, and other "alt-right" denizens of 4chan made (and still make) extensive use of Pepe and consider it "their own" to some extent. But the whole thing about specifically making Pepe into an alt-right symbol was just some shit they stirred up to "troll" the media. It worked, and the stigma stuck.

A lot of Pepe memes also ended up becoming Twitch emotes through BetterTwitchTV and FrankerFaceZ. And a lot of those emotes found their way into Discord chatrooms. In Discord, you can usually tell whether someone is an alt-right person or not by what Pepe emotes they use.
I'm not in any position to say one way or another what's going on, but the sheer amount of propaganda coming out of the West about China makes me skeptical of any claims of genocide. The "witnesses" are shoddy at best, one changing her story from "her captives were non violent" to "they beat and raped us" (CNN specifically tried to hide her passport information, showing that the CCP had willingly let her go to the USA).

The fact that China has been pretty open about investigators coming to see whats going on, and how there hasn't been any actual evidence aside from what people have said, have me on the fence.

The strategy being used right now just feels off. If there is a genocide going on we should go investigate it and get hard evidence. Right now all we are using is weak hearsay. It makes me think it's less about saving Uighurs and more about having an excuse to go to war with China.
The fact that this was flagged and taken from the front page is par for the course, so sick of authoritarian technocrats.

Ok so according to this you can't delete anything.

What happens then if I want to delete something I posted previously?

Is it free speech if I want to retract something posted by myself but I'm not able to do so?

Is it really free speech if a comment can't be altered/deleted by the owner of it?
It's not fine even without environmental impact: getting yourself into an asset class with zero understanding about it is a recipe for disaster. There are tons of examples of real estate investors burning their money because they lacked fundamental knowledge and etc. Even the management meetings I attended are now peppered with crypto news and how x gone by y%, even by the sound of it everyone would have been better off just buying some ETFs, instead of pouring money on random peaks or troughs.
It should be a criminal act to ban someone from your platform without pointing exactly to why they were banned. "Oh but we can't expose details of our ban process for people to game" Bullshit. They just don't want to have to answer to anyone for cutting them off.

It would be hilarious if, as a consequence of cryptocurrencies (sadly in this case because of a very nefarious use), companies started taking security more seriously.

I don’t foresee anybody paying for all this over built over provisioned solar/wind generation and transmission. I suppose if it has to be overbuilt 4x to be as reliable as the power system we have now then my power bill will be 4x more.

When people quote $1/W for solar generation it really should be $4/W because you have to build 4x as much and then add another ... infinite amount for increasing the size of the transmission system by 4x too so that areas that have sun can transmit to areas that have none. All possible just expensive.

Yes, it was. And then the power production fell so low that they went from rolling blackouts to just blackouts.
You should not assume and I should have specified more clearly.

Our code style is also committed. As spotless configuration files, eslint configuration files etc. You can run these locally if you want to. Our CI/CD definitely runs them and fails the build if it doesn't pass. No exceptions.

The README.md I am speaking of is actually more than one README.md. We have more generalized ones dealing with "This is how to set up your dev env, so you can actually develop stuff", to more module specific ones like "this module is special from everything else in X, Y and Z".
> You can choose to accept trackbacks only from sites that can point to endorsement by some mutually trusted 3rd party. This is ultimately how the Fediverse works - bad actors will get booted from the most popular networks and find themselves unable to 'push' content to the network.

I suppose this would have worked in the 2005-ish era when
MovableType, Pingbacks/Linkbacks, and Web 2.0 was all the rage, but in today's internet culture and its very partisan politics (...of a distinctly American flavour...) permeating everywhere, the concept of "endorsement", even in a technical sense, can be framed as a political gesture, even if the basis of an endorsement can be defended on purely technical grounds. We saw this happening with the "Twitter Verified" badges controversy (as the identity-verification of an account is a purely technical and factual thing, but because Twitter chose to use the imagery-of-endorsement to indicate verified accounts it led to... well, that's another discussion). My point being that even if a pingback/linkback/trackback system can accurately filter-out (commercial) spam, maintainers of those websites would likely still want to curate pingbacks anyway - which means still having to actively moderate/audit that, and who wants to spend their time doing that?

Wonder if these sort of “free speech” platforms would be welcoming of intelligent discussions from the viewpoints of things like Marxism, left-anarchists, egoists, etc.
Or get someone big enough that they can ask YouTube on Twitter WTF is going on. Like Markiplier in November 2019. He asked his fans to spam emojis in a livestream. So they did and were banned for spam. Their appeals - which YouTube says are reviewed by actual humans - were denied. It wasn’t until he went to Twitter that the problem was fixed.

TW for sure reports to my country's financial intelligence agency (AUSTRAC).

I get paid in foreign currency via TW and it's pretty amazing.

Looks interesting. Unfortunately, flooding does not scale, its cost is O(n²) where n is the number of participants. The saddest part is that if they were to switch to a less bandwidth-crippling scheme (such as GossipSub), that would destroy the whole purpose because malicious agents can start soliciting messages, and given there is no premix layer on top, time to reveal your identity is going to start approaching zero.

This would be the dream goal. But if the system originates from a place of bad faith and bigotry, it will be hard to get anyone but the original bigots to adopt it. Unless someone forks it. Or uses the same algorithms/ideas to build their own version.
A 100kWh battery would run a 1kW bar heater (and nothing else) for 4 days. That's probably enough to heat one room and keep you alive, but it won't be giving you the full electric shower, cooking food, warm house and pipes not freezing experience. Even moreso if you want to keep some reserves in case it needs to last more days.

> "I'm not sure if anyone has done the math on what kinda timescale you are looking at for return on investment with a 100kWh battery"

A long one. 100kWh will cost you maybe $70,000 (e.g. 10x of these https://www.amazon.com/48-VDC-Kwh-Battery-Pack/dp/B079348MM1 ) (If it's not LiIon, but is lead-acid to be cheaper, you won't want to be using much more than 50% of it before it causes problems). At $1/kWh from the mains, about 8 years of mains electricity to buy it. At $0.25/kWh, 32 years.
Helium-3 coming from active seafloor vents has something like 10x (to in some locations 30x) the ratio of 3He/4He in the atmosphere. This is so consistent that it is often used as a way to detect underwater vulcanism. Yeah, it's still an order of magnitude less than in the lunar regolith, but we have lots of experience handling seawater at scale, and we have zero experience handling rocks in 1/6th G at scale, so I would probably bet on it taking a long time for the lunar mining to get to the same effectiveness as the seawater handling.
$130 isn't enough to really test most advertising methods, unless you're already really dialed in.

Technical question: Is it possible to build a service/platform that cannot be silenced?

I was thinking about Starlink and how if Musk wanted to they could make it resistant to censorship, but theoretically speaking, it would still be possible in the extreme to bring that platform down. So that raised the question in my mind: What would it take to make a platform bullet proof from censorship?
I just block people from the project who submit PRs like that.

>there is an obviously untapped market for arbitrage.

But if there was an arbitrage opportunity, wouldn't a company be already on top of it[1]? I'd imagine that a company would have greater economies of scale to operate such a system compared to a home user. My guess is that there aren't many people who have solar panels/wind mills, 100kWh batteries, and aren't connected to the grid, because it's much more cost-effective to use the grid as your battery (that is, sell into it when you're generating power, and buying from it when you're not).

You make a good point but you can't in the long term fight against this in a healthy way by stifling peoples access to information. Some people seem to hold the worldview that they know the right answers and must protect the simpletons from the wrong ones, where others would like to make all information available and trust in people to eventually form sensible solutions.

But the argument is not in fact a reductio ad absurdum. This is par for the course in contemporary philosophy of mind.

This author, as he mentions in the conclusion, has argued that all metaphysics of mind will have bizarre consequences according to our ordinary understanding. He remains uncommitted to whether or not the argument in question shows that the U.S. is conscious, or that materialism is false.
