Yes, if they are things you actively invest time and energy into when you are not forced to, I would consider that a form a passion. It's not black and white, there is plenty of gray area between "I hate this thing" and "I really like this thing".
What's interesting is that heretical liberals have the most to fear in this environment.

MAGA people can't be cancelled, and it's a badge of honor if attempted. But well-meaning unorthodox liberals really have to watch themselves.
>So all that being said, I genuinely wonder if cancel culture is here to stay, because the next ideology to come along will also realize how powerful of a tool it is.

Here to stay for sure. There's an active group of people behind it. They are the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Left and they still exist today. The problem is that in 1989 when socialism died. They started their rebranding effort. They became Politically Correct, "democratic socialists", culutural marxists, globalists, internationalists. etc.

The reason Justin Trudeau can do black face on multiple occasions and still win an election is because he's part of the new-left. Cancel culture is a tool of political silencing opponents. Those in the fold like Trudeau, he'll get away with literally anything.

The problem or reason why it has become so much more obvious. Increasingly desperate. What has Biden done for BLM? Absolutely nothing.
I'm debating directly OPs points. If you feel this conversation is off track, then you should chastise OP, because I am just responding directly to them.

Too much exertion will trigger a heart attack. Which is why heart attacks spike the day after it snows, because people with susceptible hearts go out and do vigorous, unusual activity.
>https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/22/opinion/bon-appetit-cance...

Seems like a mainstream article. Not sure what the point of this was? I didn't look at the articles mentioned in this article so if that was your point then let me know so I can review them.

> https://www.wsj.com/articles/academic-freedom-is-withering-1...

I got a paywall so I could only read part of the article. The first part of the article seems to agree with my point that viewpoint discrimination is in fact happening. I didn't get to anything about newspapers before I got the paywall so I don't know what exact this had to do with what I posted. The article seemed quite mainstream to me though.

> depending on if you consider george will "mainstream"- he is an establishment conservative which certainly is a dissenting viewpoint at the washington post

I am getting a paywall so I couldn't read the article, but it seemed mainstream. Based on what I could gather it sounds like he supports a more fiscally responsible stimulus and to have it targeted to people who actually need it rather than to everybody. Assuming that is the gist of the article then I think that is decently mainstream. I would agree that it is a dissenting viewpoint for the Washington Post though.

>not a newspaper, but a national magazine a front page article with a definitively non-mainstream message

This article was pretty long so I skimmed it (so if I missed an important detail let me know). It sounds like a mainstream message. Gun ownership and protection of oneself with guns is a mainstream message in the US. Maybe it is a bit non-mainstream since the author is a socialist, but nothing stood out as out of the norm.
>What was once a socially acceptable position to have in polite society, is no long so.

To add on to this, it's not just that the standards change, it's that the standards change retroactively and you can be hounded out of your livelihood for an offhand comment made a decade prior.

I can at least sympathize, if not agree with "cancelling" when someone demonstrates unrepentant shittiness in the present day, but this kind of ex-post-facto thing happening against statements that weren't even tangentially offensive when they were made is horrid. There's no way such an environment can't lead to self-censorship.
I was responsible for implementing Conjoint, Van Westendorp, and Gabor/Granger for a certain well known survey company.

A few thoughts:

Conjoint isn't typically used for pricing, but for finding the attributes of products that maximize consumer desire / utility

Conjoint is a hierarchical Bayesian method... so also Bayesian Optimization

I like the idea of a continuous optimization via API rather than a survey, tightens up the feedback loop for smaller SaaS products

You're going to want to get some academics to back your theoretical grounding - it's actually a sales thing if you're ever trying to sign larger contracts.

There is no such thing as a "fair" price, just the market price

How do you prevent users from feeling cheated when they realize someone else may get a different price? Or worse, just refreshing until they get the lowest price for the tier they want? This is probably the biggest sticking point of your service - larger companies probably can't get away with changing prices after launch.

Congrats on the launch!

Is it only because there's US East and US West? I.e. Maine and New Hampshire can share power generation, and Arizona and New Mexico can share power, we just can't share across the East/West divide, wherever that is?
Name any scientist that has a position other than the big bang theory, that has any evidence backing it?

The standard isn't "can't include God", but "must fit the facts". God is unprovable and untestable; making a theory depend on a God makes the theory unprovable and untestable. Most scientists who also have religious beliefs don't see the two conflicting; their religion gives the why, their profession the how.

Or more succinctly, no one is blackballing scientists for saying "I believe God caused the Big Bang". But claims of, for instance, "I believe the world was created 6000 years ago over a period of 7 literal days" requires some evidence beyond "My understanding of the Bible tells me so", and doesn't jibe with your initial statement of empirical scientific study.

A Christian is defined by belief in salvation through Christ's death and resurrection. Not disbelief in the Big Bang.
The decision to use 0-terminated strings in C may be the single worst decision in programming language history, at least from a security standpoint.
Unless you source a lot of shared scripts why would it matter what shell you use interactively? You can install fish and bash side by side and use one in your terminal and one for scripting.
It’s a very big problem, in that it touches a lot of different sectors. One of those sectors is tech. There can be technical solutions to climate change; they are in the category “necessary but not sufficient.” There must ALSO be business and political solutions, but reducing wasted ocean traffic by 20%, for example, could have huge consequences.

I have some feedback. Would love to chat. My email is in profile.
Hopefully I become poor. I would rather be poor than rich
I don't think this is an answer to their question though. They didn't ask your opinion what the problem is, or even how to solve it, but rather what companies are trying to do it. I'll add that there are plenty of organizations that aren't looking for a technical solution but still need technical people.
Vintage fake news!
No one is complaining about going after actual racists. The problem is that things which aren't racist are now defined as racist and vice versa. e.g. saying that universities shouldn't admit students by race and only use grades and test scores is now "racist"
Stashrun | Palo Alto or Remote (US Timezones) | Full-Time or Part-Time, Remote-OK | Stealth Mode | hey at stashrun.com

We’re changing the way brands participate in social causes to maximize impact, brand reputation, and safely navigate new risks like ‘cancel culture’. We are an early stage venture-backed startup currently in stealth mode. You'll get a competitive salary, generous equity, and benefits.

Currently seeking an experienced Frontend/Full-stack Engineer with a background in building React Native applications from scratch. Should be adept at understanding how to work with various backend API interfaces to work in concert with our infrastructure stack (primarily React Native, GraphQL, Ruby on Rails, PostgresQL, Heroku, AWS) to build out a polished cross-platform application. Experience building out custom React Native animations and previous experience fully launching to Apple App Store or Google Play Store is a plus.
Any entity within a line needs to be 8bits in length or less.

Probably due to the index registers being 8 bits themselves.

For example, if you think people who have a sex of male and a gender of female shouldn't play in women's sports then really you actually have not thought through your perspective to adequate level of introspection and evidence that can survive free and open discourse. And so you should have your books banned and be subject to abuse and threats. That's just reasonable.

I'm a mathematically-minded developer, looking for a position to grow into. I've spent the past 2.5 years working remotely with a small manufacturing company on a tiny dev team building and supporting an in-production Vue/Vuetify/Node/Postgres application to service the ERP needs of the company. Ask me to tell you about my work on "The Vault". I'm comfortable learning any new technologies in your stack and enjoy a good challenge.

Interesting, I did not know that. thank you!
Tell that to David Shor, among others - https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/07/david-shor-cancel-cu...
It's very interesting for certain usecases. Ordered one of those boards to run as a buildserver for postmarketOS.
If you want to be pedantic, they have the ability to create infinite nominal dollars. They cannot create infinite wealth.
Very good post, just one thing caught my eye:

> it’s very small (think >900 sqft)

That is an average middle class apartment for a family where I come from (Israel). Thinking about it as being small is so American :) And BTW you don't get to live in a _house_ in Israel unless you inherited it, are rich, bought it >20 ago before the real estate boom, or willing to drive a couple of hours in each direction to get to work (which is ridiculous in a tiny country with a 100% tax on gas)

If you're poor you'll have to do with ~600 sqft or so for a family. And I know there are countries where even this is rather spacious.
> Or I just apologize. Of course, I'm a coward.

You can apologize AND simultaneously it can be true that such other person is also a jerk who purposefully gets offended by stupid things and takes everyone out of context for their own benefit who leads a march to cancel you.

As someone who grew up poor, one of the best things I've ever done to get past that real hesitancy around spending money is to use envelope budgeting (I use YNAB but the tool isn't important).

My old habits had me tracking after the fact and I found that I either obsessed over minutiae, failed to plan for the future, or worried too little about bigger purchases.

But now, I put my money in a virtual envelope the moment it comes in, and I have to start thinking about how I'm using it: if I empty out the "restaurant" fund, I have the freedom to reallocate, but I'm forced to decide to reallocate – I don't just swipe a card and figure it out later.

This also shows me without any question what my current baseline is: I can look month over month and know how much of my spending is discretionary, how much is saving, and what the bare minimum is that I need to survive.
Pretty confused by the downvotes. People don't like data?

I mean in fact it's worse than people think and you are no longer likely to make more than your parents when a few decades ago you had a 90% chance of doing so.

Never expected such a ra-ra USA #1 vibe on HN. Especially in the face of data that says otherwise.
Fox News.

They regularly have people on expressing minority views that directly contest facts accepted by the majority of the US and the world.
> Nobody gives a shit when Uber classifies their drivers as independent contractors to stiff them on benefits,

I think quite a few people gave a shit? I think you're attacking a straw man, it is perfectly possible to have opinions on small stylistic issues (like master vs main) while also thinking that there are fundamental economic things that need to change.

Normal feedback is down votes and replies. Cancel culture is messaging dang and asking him to ban you.
All car batteries will provide over 3KW since they're rated for 300-900 cold-cranking-amps but efficiency and capacity are pretty low at those rates.
It isn't designed that way, no. This is simply an internal choice made by C library implementors, and one implementation choice fares very badly in this situation, as the strings grow long. The other choice is pretty much immune to long strings in these scenarios. You cannot infer from this an intended usage of sscanf(), because this issue isn't part of the interface contract, just an effect of a particular implementation.
Was there ever anybody a fan of C style strings?

Maybe I misremember, but I think long ago people made arguments that C strings were superior because of how simple they were. Such was the thinking 30 years ago.

"Who make America what it is?" != "Who make democracy what it is".

America's uniqueness is not democracy. There are many other countries are democratic and have free press and have journalists.
Is that due to a high prevalence of anti-nuclear sentiment, or due to a high prevalence of enthusiastic, dismissive, and possibly inauthentic pro-nuclear sentiment? Either could explain the observed effect. There are plenty of pro-nuclear comments that aren't being downvoted. I suggest you consider that others are for reasons beyond their basic premise.
Is there a way to tell which are downloadable/usable offline/locally vs which are websites without clicking through each one?
This posting says "Berlin, Dublin, London, Madrid, Paris, or Remote", the web-page describing the role says "Dublin or London". Which is correct?
Perhaps it is a bit naive to assume people read the article :).

Leftists get canceled all the time (by liberals). Look at the censoring/smearing of Bernie Sanders and his supporters during the primary. Twitter bans leftist accounts all the time as well. Take a look at every VC in our industry and they espouse staunchly establishment neo-liberal policies. Calling Biden into question (which anyone on the left would do) is risking your career.

The focus is often on censoring those on the right (which does happen too), but those on the left may be the most censored.

Flexibits | 2 positions | Remote | Full-time

We make Fantastical and Cardhop, award-winning calendar and contacts apps for Mac and iOS. We are 14 person, fully-remote company spread across the US and Europe, and welcome anyone from around the world. We prefer candidates that are in time zones between US Pacific Time and Central European Time.

---

Software Engineer (Mac & iOS)

We’re a small company, so you’ll be on the front lines creating apps that real people use every day. You'll be adding new features to Fantastical and Cardhop, as well as hunting for bugs and helping to keep everything running smoothly for our users. Areas you'll be working on include UI/UX development, databases, networking (including CalDAV, Exchange Web Services, and other APIs), and more – across macOS, iOS, and watchOS.

Tech stack: Objective-C, AppKit, UIKit, Swift, SwiftUI, C, C++.

---

Software Engineer (Web Frontend & Backend)

We're looking for someone to help us make Fantastical, Cardhop, and Fantastical Premium even better. This will include improving and maintaining flexibits.com and hub.flexibits.com as well as creating new features for Fantastical and Cardhop.

We're a small company, so there are always many things going on at once. This means there will be the opportunity to wear multiple hats and there's always be something new and interesting to work on! Since we're a small team, this is not a purely frontend or backend role. Expect roughly a 75/25 split between frontend and backend work.

A short summary of our tech stack: We use Django, Python, Go, React, and TypeScript, with some PHP and WordPress thrown in. Our databases are MySQL and Redis, and everything is running on Google Cloud and Google Kubernetes Engine.

More info at https://flexibits.com/jobs
There's also OCCA which does JIT compilation to C++, OpenMP, CUDA, HIP, OpenCL and Metal. Originally built at Virginia Tech and now maintained by the Center for Efficient Exascale Discretizations of the DOE.

And it seems to have decent Python bindings.

We don't necessarily hire for passion, but what we do care about is "will we enjoy working alongside this person for 6+ hours a day for years".

I would rather work alongside someone who comes to work gushing about a new succulent they potted over the weekend, and who is ready to work to earn more to buy more plants but doesn't necessarily love coding, than someone who shows up grumpy and has no enthusiasm of any kind to share.

Certainly hiring a only "passionate 10x coders" will ruin your business because they'll spend the whole time reimplementing databases for fun instead of doing the work. But excitement of any kind is contagious, and it helps everyone's mental health to work in an environment where there is excitement/curiosity of some kind, even (especially) non-work-related.

You can be forced to choose, i.e. you can be presented with a popup. And that popup should have both a reject (opt-out) and an accept (opt-in) option. Well, the latter is not needed but otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

Now a lot of sites play tricks to make the reject/out-out a hard deliberately choice. (Which IS a violation of the GDPR, of course.)
When The Burkiss Way spoofed War of the Worlds in one episode in 1979, it apparently still generated enough complaints that for the repeat (and any repeats since) they had to stick in a totally out-of-place announcement about "You're listening to The Burkiss Way, the not-to-be-believed comedy show".
Depends who the people are. In this case, the complainants are mostly ultra-privileged white kids whose parents can afford to send their privately schooled kids on a resume-building field trip to another country with a veteran NYTimes journalist.

In this case, the audience are connected and powerful people exchanging phony victimhood for social capital.

If anything, he gave his audience too much credit.
The question is "Who make America what it is?", it is not "Who make democracy what it is".
