Lol, a simple explanation is always far more likely than an intricately complex one: that censorship is subjective and was enacted by different people with varying tastes and preferences, guided by vague and contradictory directions from above that would shift depending on changes in political direction, membership of the Politburo, etc etc.

Drugs are increasingly unkind to the bod the older you get, so I’d imagine it’s the latter.

For the record, I paid about 125/g in the mid nineties. I’m sure someone’s made a chart of this somewhere. I remember High Times magazine or Cannabis Culture used to have a spot price table in most issues based on numbers submitted by their readership. Would make an interesting graph. I don’t tend to trust LE valuations of drug prices because their incentivized to inflate them on capture and deflate them on selling risk.
Yeah that's what I've been doing. so those jobs just link back to lever.co to apply. I'm looking for a source like lever.co but for crypto only related jobs where people apply through their platform.

As far as I'm aware, none of the platforms you mention allow this, even. Regardless of laws, their T&C clearly forbid sharing private data of others.
Well if you're wondering, I went to visit my family in the UK right before it stopped being possible to travel and they made me watch all these shows again. (I think I got to see Dr Who once.) So someone still likes them.
For Scandinavia, some things come to mind.

Most TV shows and movies have sex scenes. The people having sex are always very average looking. Sex scenes are usually not sexy or romantic but just chaotic and awkward, and very every-day-lifey. Like a middle aged couple having sex in the bedroom and their 5 year old kid opens the door and one of them is chocked and falls out of the bed and breaks a finger. They have to drive to the emergency room and so on, and next scene they enjoy a meal together at home in complete and awkward silence. And a finger in a cast is there as a reminder of the incident.

This could be a scene in any TV show airing at 20.00 on public service TV. There's also a lot of nudity without it being sexualized. Like people in saunas or women breastfeeding. Normal every day stuff.

For examples check out Love & Anarchy on Netflix, great show with only one short season. Or Bonus Family also on Netflix.

Sex education is also a thing. You are taught that of course you should have sex because it's great and fun etc. and here's how to do it safely. Oh and now class, we are going to watch a 1 hour long sex tape with two normal people having sex in a loving way. That was an awkward class to attend. And next class, practicing putting on condoms on dildos, so we all know how to do it. Imagine being 13 and sitting next to some cute girl in your class and having to practice putting on condoms!

Compared to other parts of the world where sex and nudity is banned and censored, which is of course ridiculous if you want sexually healthy citizens. If you can only see sex through porn, with smoking hot models, I'm sure it messes with your young mind.

> The problem is that access to those books is now significantly reduced.

This is entirely false. The books can still be put up as an .epub at a URL on any of thousands of servers that can be accessed by the entirety of the internet-connected Earth. Such hosting service can be obtained in 5 minutes for a pittance, and will easily serve tens of millions. For slightly less than a pittance you can serve the file to billions.

If Facebook starts censoring posts or private person-to-person DMs with your URL in it, we have another discussion to have, but until that time this is just the normal freedom-of-association choices associated with being unpopular. Amazon sucks for doing this, to be sure, but the TFA is committing a worse offense: claiming inaccurately to have been banned.

There has never been a time where it has been easier or cheaper to publish to literally billions-with-a-b.
“Keep the internet beautiful” – A Declaration of War (1994)
The article talks mostly about lighter-hearted movies, but I'd still want to recommend my favorite examples of "burdensome beauty" (as they put it) by Tarkovsky:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGRDYpCmMcM

"Андрей Рублев" (Andrei Rublev):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6kqlveBhVY

And, if you're into Slavic cinema in general, I'd also recommend "Life is a Miracle" by Emir Kusturica: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0322420/ -- he's not a Russian director, but he is fantastic.

It's a bit circular: one of the major reasons people want to leave a group is because it is not productive. If your PI won't invest in data collection or sits on manuscripts for years, you won't have the raw materials for a thesis-by-publication.

I've always been absolutely opposed to banning books.

...then I got diagnosed with adult ADHD, which, boy howdy, explains a lot about my life, and I'm only somewhat resentful of my parents for pursuing an alternative medicine approach when I was diagnosed as a kid. But anyway, that's just setting the scene.

Then I went to my local library to get some books on adult ADHD, to help my wife understand it better, and they only had one book on adult ADHD (quite a few more on child ADHD, natch), but in the same section, had two books stating unequivocally that ADHD was a made-up condition.

These ones:

Debunking ADHD: 10 Reasons to Stop Drugging Kids for Acting Like Kids - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1475827377/

ADHD Does Not Exist: The Truth About Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder - https://www.amazon.com/ADHD-Does-Not-Exist-Hyperactivity/dp/...

And I guess, now that I had a strong personal stake, I felt rather offended by these books.

I don't want to ban them, but I'd very much prefer that the library filed them under "alternative medicine" rather than under "mental illness > ADHD". Not so much for myself, but for any kids who get diagnosed and have a parent or parents similar to mine looking for a reason to deny the diagnosis.
The important question is "do we want to?" We are gods by the standards of people five hundred years ago. Even the opportunities 50 years ago pale in comparison to what many of us have access to today; you no longer have to be in the exact right place and time to be exposed to the state of the art in technology and science. You can bring together material and people from anywhere in the world in a matter of days to pursue goals that can dominate your life for years at a time. The pursuit and achievement of these goals can make many people truly happy.

We're at a point in time where our society places a lot of value in sex and romance, but it's now easy to largely forego these things and dump your time into other things you're passionate about. It seems that when these discussions about the relative celibacy of young people come up, people talk a lot about how it must be because young people are facing effectively insurmountable struggles, and mostly ignore that it's possible that it's easier to focus on things other than sex now. That possibility runs contrary to how most of us were brought up, and it's why you're asking what we should do to "improve" these trends. Have we considered that there might be nothing to fix, and that the trend doesn't need to be stopped?
> I've been seeing a therapist since a couple years ago after I had my first panic attack, since then I've been using therapy for all my issues. However, even though I've been open about my sexual frustrations, I feel like my therapist ignores it and simply tries to work on my social aspect in general. My therapist is female and I wonder if having a male therapist it would be different, I've been wanting to try but I already invested many sessions with my current therapist.

Get a new therapist. At the very least try a few sessions with someone else. Yes, try a male therapist. Your rationalization of "already invested many sessions" is that of the sunk cost fallacy. You should be so confident that you're not wasting your time in therapy that you'd never think to ask internet strangers if you should switch. The worst that could happen is you waste a few hours trying out a new therapist or two. The best that could happen is that you actually find someone who isn't dismissive of a concern that's clearly animating you, about a very important part of human existence.
It has always been like that, but it seems anachronistic to pay for international standard documents when the world of software has realized long ago that open access is the way to go when it comes to industry-wide agreements.

Institutions like IEEE, IETF and basically all modern programming languages have open access to standards and documentation, and that doesn't mean that the quality of work is any less good.

Sure, there are closed standards like UEFI et al, but engineers know that's the wrong way to do it. These closed standards happen because corporate and legal departments have more weight than engineering.
> theoretically makes signing up for the service easier in India

Not entirely sure why this story is throwing shade at Google Pay in India, since the service there has been a runaway success. It's a furiously contested space, but GPay came out of nowhere to grab the #1 or #2 spot depending on what metric you use:

https://yourstory.com/2020/12/google-pay-phonepe-upi-market-...

But I agree with the article that while going aggressively mobile-first/only makes a lot of sense in India, it's going to be quite different in a mature market like the US and the transition is going to ruffle a lot of feathers. The biggest sticking point is really how dysfunctional US banking is: in India, thanks to UPI you can pay anybody if you know their phone number, but this is not a thing in the US and that's why you can only do P2P transfers to other GPay users.

For what it's worth, though, I've been using GPay (outside the US) for quite a while now and I've never found myself wishing for a desktop client. P2P payments are almost always to people you're already messaging from your phone or physically interacting with.
> Enbridge has estimated that properly deactivating its aging Line 3 pipeline and taking it out of the ground would cost more than $1.2 billion dollars. The company is currently considering simply abandoning it and paying off the landowners involved, which it says would cost a relatively paltry $85 million, but leave corrosive pipes littered underneath the landscape.

How is it possible that even in this day and age such huge infrastructure projects do not account for decommissioning costs and build everything as if it will last forever. It seems that the calculations are made by only incorporating the building and maintenance costs, then subtracting them from revenue and putting everything that remains in the profit line. Then they act surprised when they see a huge amount of money that is required for decommissioning and are not willing to pay even though they have been profitting all along.

Since the projects are meant to last a long time, it's reasonable to include the rate of inflation into the calculations and then not be surprised that the costs are so large.

On a related note, software projects are done the same way. Very often thinking a few steps ahead is frowned upon and written off as "overengineering" although the costs of replacing an obsolete software product with a modern one are also very costly to the company and society.
>Finally, AMD CPUs utilize other proprietary technologies known as Infinity Fabric/Architecture for their on-chip interconnect. Investigating the feasibility of our attack on these platforms requires future work. However, the techniques we use to build our contention model can be applied on these platforms too.

I notice often that when coverage of these side-channels start spreading Intel takes a hit and AMD thrives. While the majority of these side-channel attacks are tuned to Intel chips, the theory behind them along with a decent amount of work can often make them applicable to AMD as well, and in some cases even other architectures(ARM, MIPS, SPARC, etc).
It always seemed a bit unlikely that a manufacturing superpower gets defeated on its own turf. If WWIII breaks out over Taiwan, it is hard to see how China doesn't get what it wants in the manner the article describes.

There is some evidence between the way the US was handling the middle east and last years notable war [0] that the military future involves drones. It isn't at all obvious from the peanut gallery that China will be at a disadvantage unless the situation gets apocalyptic. Even then, if they just wait or apply slow pressure it seems likely they'll eclipse the US to the point where Americans just can't afford to sustain operations on China's doorstep. China has all this money and America has all those debts. Wars are expensive.

Middlemen get a bad rap, because people don't see that they are providing a valuable service.

Your financial resources make the risk acceptable to you. It's probably less acceptable to your tenants. In the same way, you choose to keep your capital and not commit it to your own housing, even though your landlord is also benefiting from that relationship.

If your landlord is not providing you a valuable service, cut him out. Vertical integration is a time-proven way to remove middlemen that don't add value. The fact you are aware of the alternatives and that they are easy and yet you choose to continue paying rent shows it is valuable to you.

We all have incomes that far exceed one person's labor, because of the
benefits of specialization and free exchange, which are still fundamental to economics. The stored surplus is capital, which further magnifies productivity, and is necessary for any modern lifestyle - without it, we'd be a lot more equal, but it would be the equality of hunter-gatherers.

Those middlemen and providers of capital are why you and your tenants can rent homes, in a city, working desk jobs, and eating turkey sandwiches on demand for $10 instead of $1500 and six months of labor. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLXfVEsLI-qSO5XzEa0pOJyXl...

All this talk about simplicity but still many AWS services are way more complicated than they should be. Fargate is one example. To just run container, I need a ECS cluster, Service, Task Definition, etc. Compare this to Docker-compose. Compare it to Heroku.

To make it flexible, it's made very complicated. I know there are tools and CLIs which take this pain away. But even if you deploy it with a tool, you still need to deal with complexity when you want to deal with problems in production.

Yes. Tell her directly, "I feel like you ignored my concerns about my sexual life," and see what she says. Beating around the bush in therapy (and in most of your important adult relationships) is almost always a waste of time.
>Curiosity likes diffs [1], not generics [2, 3]. Try to comment in a way that leads to a new place rather than an old place.

How downvotes encourage that? I mean it can be abused and is abused for bullying opinions that some people do not want to hear.

There are some interesting opinions reflecting exactly this "Curiosity likes diffs" that get downvoted and how it encourages to write something interesting if it will be invisible and become deleted anyway just because it's not in the trend or too different.

Or if I get downvoted for stating the facts I observe. In theory it should sparkle curiosity! Not shutting up the facts using downvotes. Once I've experienced getting downvoted for stating the facts it's not really encouraging to say what I think is really there.

Can we remove downvotes and leave only upvotes? Or can we limit downvotes to some degree so at least somewhere in the end of the threat you can still read them. I mean
at leat let me read those downvoted opinions, it's not too comfortable to read almost white on white and it's annoying.

May be we can put a red line in the end of the thread and put some comments beyond that line to let know those have been downvoted a lot. But let me read those, at least we can learn why they have been downvoted.

I appreciate your work. Indeed HN is a unique place and supports curiosity to some good degree. I just wish it to encourage it more and I think people need some more safety for this.

I observe that if people want to say what they really think they just create temporary account just to express that specific opinion because new accounts are protected from downvotes as I understand. This observation should be worrying I think if we wish to encourage "diffs" and "unexpected".

For now I've learned that saying something really different here would get downvotes and this is not what I wish to learn here.

I wish to explore concepts that I am not sure are correct and I wish get answers helping me to explore them. Not downvotes that tell me mostly nothing about the concept.
> A monopoly in book-selling (which Amazon absolutely does not have)

Depends on your definition of monopoly. Monopolistic practices and effects can begin to appear long before 100% domination of a market. I think it's fair to say that Amazon is well within such a range since they have over 80% of the book selling market in the US.

> This is just another case of someone who believes in ideas that are becoming less popular and less acceptable complaining about nonexistent unfairness.

So you think Amazon does nothing unfair? It's good to hear such full throated support for all their decisions.

But perhaps standing up for free speech when seeing it eroded is actually an honourable and decent thing to do. Speech isn't curtailed in one dramatic swoop, it's thousands of little decisions where we fail to stand up and say, this isn't fair, and it isn't the way to treat people we disagree with. If nobody wants to read the book, it will fail of its own accord -- nobody is forced to order it or read it.
OK, there it is, I see it now. Here's why you're having difficulty understanding:

>Google listens to your complaint and re-architects it's entire trillion dollar business to give you privacy
This proves too much. By this argument, it’s fine to arbitrarily deny people access to payment services and banking, since anyone can still mail them precious metals or send them cryptocurrency.

There are many gradations between “all companies allow X” and “the government will send men with guns to your home if you do X”. If only the last threshold counts as censorship, then we need a word for when people want to read what you wrote, but every major company decides to block that transaction. I think “censorship” is fine for that, but if you have a better term I’m all ears.
Indeed. I was there for it. My point is that nobody actually cared about surge protection, so none of that mattered.
A quote that I picked up from my grandfather, "They pay me the same no matter what they've got me doing."
China will be able to temporarily convert its commercial industrial factory output into wartime use and just spam drones at Taiwan. All of the infrastructure is already there, a switch just needs to be flipped. The US did the same in WW2, though instead of drones back then, it was planes, tanks, and munitions.

I think “crappy” is the wrong word. You mean not aesthetically pleasing to you.

Could it be that a lot of UX/UI best practices are so much b.s. based on preference and fad rather than testing? Clearly Amazon has a successful site, so one could deduce that users don’t actually care about appearances as long as they can find and buy stuff.

Costco puts very little effort into appearances but I don’t let that stop me shopping there.
