You seem to be stuffing a lot of straw men into your response. That, or you think I'm making an argument that I have yet to write.

I have no idea where Twitter came into all this, nor does it matter what people in other countries consider "Free Speech" or not.

> The Government absolutely /can/ limit your Free Speech, that's why it's important and scary - of all organizations which exist only the Government can make it illegal for you to publish a book or imprison you for writing a critical newspaper article.

Perhaps you are not familiar with the US Constitution and the US Government (we often forget HN is an international community) - but no, the Government here cannot make it illegal to publish a book or imprison you for writing a critical newspaper article.

No, the US Government (local, state, federal) cannot put you in prison for voicing opinions, no matter how unpopular they may be.

Yes, private organization can deplatform, censor, and silence any opinions they disagree with.

What we clearly have here is a case of a political party, in control of Congress, seeking a way to circumvent the US Constitution (specifically the 1st Amendment) by nakedly intimidating private organizations into enacting censorship on their behalf, to be perpetrated against said political party's political enemies.

That is flatly wrong, and should be viewed as Government attempting to censor political enemies... because that is what it is!

Straw Men be damned...

Hi, HN! When browsing Reddit, I usually like to save cool/interesting images, videos and GIFs from various subreddits and wanted a way to download them periodically to my machine. I developed this tool to download such content from the command line using the Reddit API.

It has some great features you might find useful:

- Multiple media types supported: mp4, gif, gifv along with png/jpg images

- Multiple hosting providers supported: reddit, imgur, giphy, gfycat, redgifs

- Option to restrict downloads to specific subreddits

- Allow automatic unsave of reddit post after downloading

- A dry-run option to process and show the list of media that would be downloaded without actually downloading them

If you find it interesting, please check the out the GitHub page for more details and/or take a look at the demo. Also, this is my first Rust project, so any feedback is welcome!

Wow this could not be more different from my experience trying the same.

I ran nextcloud in docker-compose for 2 years, with nginx doing SSL termination in front. Granted I wasn't using the official image; I use the linuxserver.io releases for all my other services so I use them for this, too. Nextcloud's config is all in the DB, except for database and cache connection information in a single config file. PHP's config is in a separate file and some env vars (eg timezone).

I've recently moved it into my home k3s cluster (yeah, i'm one of those people), which means traefik is my new reverse proxy. Works fine. I found I can get traefik to do the DAV redirects at least with the k8s Ingress config, but I don't need to since the linuxserver image includes the redirects in its' nginx configuration.
An alternative to using heat pumps is to use gas heating. Gas heating lets you achieve >100% "efficiency" relative to electric heating because you don't have to pay the price of converting the gas into electricity.
Unfortunately, the consumer industry trend will be to follow Apple. I see little hope for competitive open computing devices. Ever since the Nokia N900, openness has consistently lost in the market against faster, slicker, more integrated competitors.

Only in those markets where computing is a fungible commodity, i.e. servers, is the flexibility of openness any benefit, and even there it loses some autonomy to black-box "management engines". While these are still the most plausible vehicle for open computing, I only see them as appealing to a niche of amateurs buying cheaper refurbished machines.

Some may tout stuff like the RasPi as a viable alternative. Sure, but with the understanding that the RasPi is a CPU riding along a beefy VideoCodec/GPU, which has taken years of (ongoing) effort to implement open drivers for, and the RasPi4 still remains 2x slower than my 15 year old laptop.

In other words, there is no viable consumer market for open computing.

This is the big problem. OSS advocates have been pushing software that is both open and completely terrible. It's no surprise that the public doesn't care.
Standups are normally short, and meant to be short so people don't ramble on and everyone can go back to their work. I hate standups because it's mostly treated as an agile 'ceremony', and that there are better ways to relieve blockers a.k.a communication via Slack or Teams or other means.

Taking 30-60 minutes to do a Rally is, forgive me for being skeptical, worse than a traditional standup in that it takes up more time, and requires everyone to buy in to the idea and that your team comprises of only extroverts - something that a traditional standup already has a problem with.
Here is a great example of the power of misinformation at work folks.

Is there any way to try it out easily? Everything on that page looked like it was pre-rendered (constrained-choice mad libs).
Bitcoin is vulnerable in two ways:

1. The oldest (and largest) wallets directly stored their public key on the blockchain. This would mean that attackers could transfer money away from these wallets (many of them are dormant).

2. Relatively early, the blockchain shifted to only storing the hash of the public key, which seems less susceptible to a quantum computing attack. The risk in these wallets is that once you want to transfer bitcoins out, you need to temporarily publish your public key - this key is not stored on the blockchain, but might be stored by future attackers. In addition, at some point getting your private key will be so fast that the moment you publish a transaction request you'll many fake requests asking to transfer to another wallet.

The solution is likely a soft fork - new addresses that are quantum resistant (similar to how in the past Bitcoin moved away from public key address into hash). The trick is that this needs to be deployed before attacks exist, and people need to transfer their Bitcoin into the new wallets.

The meta problem is that hackers love to contribute to stuff just for the challenge. They don't have a consolidated philosophy to make things and a mega corporation that put out products that the public buys. You basically need a Linux foundation that competes and fights with Microsoft and Apple but instead you have Google co-opting open source stuff to make a viable competitor and closing things down even further, where pretty much everything happens on their servers. It seems that democracy and openness in that sense always creates value that it can't capture but is instead captured by Capitalists with deep pockets. The value created by open source can't be used to forward the open source or user centric philosophy.

How could it? Well you need the same level of zealotry and fundamentalism that Steve Jobs inspired in Mac users and then deliver products that capture that Zeal. Where you could not pry me away from a Mac for a decade until Windows created WSL 2 so is now bareable as a daily driver. Before that it was a decade of Linux, which was as good and useful as a Mac... just never bundled, marketed, all the quirks worked out, so it could be sold properly. What made Macs replacement for Linux was the community which made tools like Brew which would make it possible to install all the goodies you need for development. It seems all the software still gets developed by open source, and all the value is captured by Capitalists.

As Theil pointed out you need a monopoly, competition distributes which is not good for someone looking to maximize capital. But at the same time necessary for society, for what good is society without distribution. It seems he's basically advocating for working against society and everyone with money is like yes we need more of that.

This is not an issue with bitcoin, but of exchanges. That's why I specifically asked if exchanges cared if taintedness was transitive.
An idle thought... are there any professional ethics standards that control treatment of the Caenorhabditis elegans worm, like there are higher animals? Or (I expect) is it considered simple enough that concerns of animal cruelty don't apply?

I wonder, because if there were, such standards should apply to the simulated copy of the worm's mind, as well.
What Apple is doing with their hardware trumps anything that Microsoft or Google does with the software, in my opinion. With software at least it's more or less possible to hack it to your liking or replace it with something else. Thankfully I never had the displeasure of owning any of Apple products and hopefully I never will.

I feel like Reddit is evolving toward convergence with a chum box. It seems as though it was intentionally designed to be vulnerable to bad faith commercial activity, and its popularity is sort of sickening. Watching a bunch of kids sink their personal cash into a moribund pink sheet stock as part of a pump and dump and the subsequent David vs Goliath astroturfing was among the most depressing things I’ve ever witnessed on the internet.
The issue is the private keys become vulnerable not just the hashing algorithm. If 3/4th of Bitcoins are in lost wallets in 1,000 years those instantly flood the market once someone can discover them from the old public keys. You can’t distinguish between someone that’s kept a wallet inactive for all this time and someone discovering a private key.

Which means you need to fork early and abandon any wallets that don’t do a transaction with the new system. That’s not the kind of transition that works with just the miners involved.
But these companies don't know it's not the peak either. Buying the dip, as the kids say, is more defensible.
> In addition, new privacy features such as HSTS and DNS over https, ESNI, etc degrade what control you had even further stopping you from even knowing what data gets out of your network and when.

Inspecting these, on a machine you control, is still 100% possible – I do it all the time.

Are you proposing we should go back to plain HTTP and DNS just to make tinkering easier? I'd argue that that would come at the expense of the vast majority of users.
Wow, the wine shipping is an incredible way to influence people. I should try that more often. So far I've only been sending small gifts over to people, or hand written letters. I know in sales this sort of stuff works very well but it also works well in day to day life.
> A 4-year degree is a useless indicator when it's irrelevant to the workload.

But it's not. It gives a good indication that the applicant has many, if not all, of the characteristics I listed.

And for many non-specialist jobs (data entry, call center, executive assistants, etc.) there is no relevant training program or certification. Few people grow up hoping to work at a call center or do data entry, so they're not going to go to school for that.

Again, a 4-year degree does not guarantee success, but it tells an employer far more than they were "willing to spend $40-80K for a piece of paper." Many people want to go to school to learn about something they love, then they get out and need a job.

I think it's fair for a hiring person to seek out degree holders as a desirable criteria.
At one point in time, I was contributing at Stack Overflow just for the fun of it, and I answered some fun programming questions. After a short time I ran afoul of some of the obsessive types that you describe, and that was the end of my time at SO.
Kind of an important point: this appears to be an attempt to make third party cookies useless, without actually disabling them since many sites depend on them. This is achieved in two ways:

1. By allowing third party cookies, but compartmentalizing them by the first-party site that sent the request (a much better name for this feature would be "per-site cookie containers", "total cookie protection" is completely uninformative).

2. By using a heuristic to selectively allow cookies to be accessed across the container boundary if they are actually needed, e.g. for logins.

To answer your question, this doesn't make sense as "day one behavior" because it's basically a patch to work around a historical problem with as little breakage as possible. If you were setting up cookie permissions on day one, knowing what we know now, you wouldn't kneecap third party cookies, you'd disable them entirely. Mozilla is trying to make third party cookies useless for 99% of what they're used for: if that's how you feel about third party cookies, you'd just not implement them.

Incidentally, I do block all third party cookies by default and have for years. That's a much stronger approach than the compartmentalization that Mozilla is attempting. I can count on one hand the number of sites I've seen break because of this, most of them are happy to let these cookies fail silently.
Yeah that’s just factually inaccurate. Sugar does specifically make you fat because of the way your body processes it. The fructose part (which is half of standard sugar) get stored as fat straight away and it also makes you less insulin sensitive. Over time that means you eat more and more sugar and your brain still doesn’t think you’re getting enough.

Or if you just want a simpler explanation - eating sugar makes you crave more sugar and so you’re a lot more likely to over eat.

Yes, and that is exactly the point I tried to make:

>> changing the AI blackbox to an appeal-less human black box wouldn't improve the situation much

Said another way, having underpaid contractors with no time for consideration (and possibly strange policies) is exactly as bad. This is a pretty clear case: That photo should not have been blocked and the idea behind having a human do the evaluation is that he recognizes the historical relevance and, if not outright allowing it, at least consults the relevant authorities whether this is exempt. This could've been done by an AI all the way without a different outcome.
Sorry, I was not meaning to digress, I think it's very much on-point.

My point all along is that miniature EVs are a solution in need of a problem. I used to live in Oslo for some time, and the ratio between Buddy cars (Norwegian made miniature EVs) and normal-sized EVs was really small. And Buddy manufacturers went out of business. Because it goes something like this:

1. If you live downtown, you walk places, ride a bicycle, or take public transportation.

2. If you live further away, you need something that can be used as an actual car on Ring 3 around Oslo.

Miniature EVs are not a good fit for either of those groups.

This is incorrect. We measure the "efficiency" of a heat pump by the amount of heat moved into a space divided by the work energy provided to the pump (electricity in this case). This is called the "coefficient of performance". Typical heat pumps have a CoP of 3 or more. Meaning, you can spend 100W of electricity to pump 300W of heat into your home. A purely resistive heater only has a CoP of 1.
"Pity the nation whose people are sheep,

Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced,

and aims to rule the world with force and by torture.

Pity the nation that knows no other language but its own
and no other culture but its own.

Pity the nation whose breath is money
and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.

Pity the nation — oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away.

Ok that makes sense.

But I wonder why doesn't this problem also arise in the current Proof-of-Work system. A sufficiently well-funded group, with about 20% hash-rate can try to extend the current head of the blockchain by 6 fake blocks at every time. If they succeed, i.e. all 6 fake blocks are mined before the real network mines 6 real blocks, then they can publish their parallel chain with the fake transactions and it would be longer than the real chain.

This is equivalent to the expected number of coin tosses to get 6 consecutive heads, where the coin is heads with probability 1/5. Here, heads means that a fake block is mined before the corresponding real block is mined.
This number is less than 20000, which corresponds to about 6 months of time. This is expensive, but not infeasible. They just need to remain solvent until they succeed and then easily cover the costs.
huge fan of Amy Zhang's work on digital civics/harassment/governance/justice. She's one of the folks who worked on SquadBox[1], which is a similar sort of protection system, except it's run by your peers me/friends. Lets them filter & deal with troubling encounters, be a first line of defense.

her other projects are similarly on the leadingest of edges, dealing with digital juries, construction kits for digital policy, information truthfulness collaboration tools, many more.

so far almost all digital systems are authoritarian "we say so" little fiefs & moderations is warnings or bans, & that's it. it's remarkably savage & opaque & often imo cruel. glad to see some attempts to bring real governance & process & human sociological cooperativity into the wild wild net. thanks all you trying to advance our resocialization.

I don't think much is changing when it comes to gaming PCs. They have been extremely modular and I see no trend for them to change. But when it comes to anything of mobile form factors, like laptops, I agree with you. Less and less ability to change and replace parts.
Vitalik is not only extremely smart, has many times demonstrated his abilities, but has also shown himself to be incredibly honest and straight-forward kind of guy when it comes to public utterances. Can you find even a couple of times when he has misled or lied to the public, even a bout a small thing? He comments on technical issues and engineering problems, things he knows a thing or two about.
I see this as a test of government. A well functioning government will iterate on their laws and see what they got right/wrong and improve it.

Looks like even OP with their fancy own home didn't actually install a heat pump the way which will make it more than 100% efficient, what about the large horde of people who rent and can't do a thing about how their house is heated? It's trivial to find out if your heating system is actually efficient and if it's not why shouldnt you run crypto mining?

Precisely -- and let's be clear here: the disinformation being discussed here breaks down along partisan lines.

We can barely get republicans and democrats to agree on a budget, what makes anyone think that they could reasonably come to an agreement on objective standards of truth in media? Let alone a process by which those standards are enforced? This is way, wayyyyy outside the realm of reality.
Tax arbitrage, iirc. In some jurisdictions like the US, exiting your position into USD is a taxable event for capital gains taxes. I seem to recall stable coins were invented to avoid that. I can't imagine tax authorities allow that loophole though.

Is Fox News or MSNBC significantly better?

I think people should be skeptical of any news platform which can easily be centrally controlled and manipulated. However, there is likely journalistic value to be found in some portion of those user-created news stories.

"Vehemently reject"ing user-created news seems to overly discount the flaws of mass media journalism: filter bubbles and misinformation are not new problems, and large organizations tend to have greater bias towards state interests. For example, I don't believe the national outrage over George Floyd would have occurred if everyone still got their news from mass media.
I don't believe the OP were saying they were compatible. He's saying they worship the same God. Beliefs about God's nature are clearly different of course.
