I don't understand this divide. Why people shouldn't have access to "pro" level tools for education? I had plenty of instances in my life when I tried to do something with consumer tools only to be disappointed and giving up, but later on re-discovering the topic with better tools that lead me to some great results.
Cost of low end nvme drives is getting closer to more expensive SD cards now (which are not meant to be used as a hard drive). I see no reason why RPi shouldn't release an update with nvme slot and even dropping SDCard slot altogether.

>> Like most of these rants against "censorship" they skip over people's rights to restrict speech as a form of speech itself: there is no moral (or legal) right to give people you disagree with a forum or audience to express their view.

> Free expression is a moral right.

> And what is a platform anyway? A wordpress site? A twitter account? An IP address? A bank account? A megaphone? A street corner? A sign? How far are you willing to go to shut other people up because you disagree with them? ...

> By what principle is it wrong for the government to censor? Once you've answered that, please explain how that principle magically stops at the government.

Yeah, it's a moral right, but its implementation is more complicated than a lot of people want to acknowledge.

Is it censorship for you to refuse to wear a shirt that I give you with some slogan I agree with? No. Is it censorship for you to take down a yard sign with that slogan that I placed in your front yard? No. What if you allowed someone else to put up a yard sign that you agree with? Still no.

If literally one guy owns all the land in the world, is it censorship for him to control what signs get put up? Almost certainly.

No one's going to be able to give you a pithy principle that fits in an internet comment that tells you where the censorship/not censorship line is, given the huge grey areas between those extremes. This is an area where lots of interests need to be balanced, and where reasonable people can disagree.

> Is the goal of social justice movements just to be hot topics?

I'm not sure I understand precisely what you're getting at but, for the record, anyone reading this should understand that I am not suggesting that hot topics are the goal of social justice.

In fact, I wasn't even making a value judgement of left wing causes in general, but people seem to always take the word "leftists" as a pejorative. All I'm saying is that leftist political strategies have been successful in that, on any given day, I can tune in to any given medium and count on trans rights, BLM, UBI, social equity, anti-racism, and so forth being a topic of conversation. This wasn't nearly as true before the current wave of leftism gained steam.
Well and SQL injection is still #1 security vulnerability AFAIK. Do we mark any script that can run an arbitrary SQL query as "vulnerable"? Or educate the devs to not concatenate strings from untrusted inputs and instead either validate the text or use named parameters?

If you want powerful tools these are also dangerous. Sure we should try to make our libraries as safe as possible and pick the safer version everything being the same, but everything is not the same.

"there are dozens of financial institutions running your "command execution as a service" tool open to the internet with default admin creds because they think it's a simple uptime monitor" that's 9 out of 10 on the companies' side in my experience (except for the "default admin creds", which we all know should be prompted/created on the first run).

The "pro" models exist - they're just not Pi's.

Industrial IoT does use Pi's a fair bit, but this is IMO a misuse (I'm guilty of it too) and in the long term can be a disservice. The Pi is a great platform for a go-to-market product, but they have many shortcomings that for most use-cases in industry are showstoppers (most notably, Pi's will often fail without warning, or their "disk" will become corrupt). More expensive industrial products are out there and typically are more robust, and designed in a way that they can be more seamlessly integrated to a product - once the upfront costs are paid (both in development and dollars).

What really needs to happen is other manufacturers making the development on their hardware more straightforwards. What the Pi foundation has done is shown that companies and developers want to just be able to run a widely available and minimal linux distribution and not have to muck about with proprietary and poorly documented SDK's behind closed doors.

Yes, I'm well aware that services like this exist and for a lot less than $30 a month. That's exactly my point.

To make it crystal clear – it seems odd to launch a product that's much more expensive than your competition and delivers much less.

I’ve never seen the word currency used that way.
True, but it’s the safest configuration because you want the default condition to abort. The inverse set up is less safe because there are more failure modes for a receiver to break, meaning if a abort command was sent there’s more chance it won’t respond. It’s like choosing a normally-open or normally-closed valve; you want the default (power off) configuration to be the safer one. Inadvertently aborting is safer than not aborting when you should have

> That core may get more extreme in its echo chamber, but its overall movement could end up being smaller and weaker.

This is precisely the problem. That core will certainly get more extreme because there's no cross pollination between it and other more moderate groups.

I would rather have more people with less extreme views than fewer people with more extreme views, because it's much more likely the more extreme people are a greater danger to society than the less extreme people.

> Extremism is not a problem of lack of information.

True, but it's more complicated than that. Extremism almost always results when you disenfranchise or ostracize a community. It's much better to integrate it so there's crossflow of information and empathy still. Dehumanizing groups of people also dehumanizes yourself.

The article pitches Pinker as a man who sees the bright side of things and that liberalism is going too far on college campuses by practicing their beliefs. While he may have a point, he’s not remotely the unbiased good hearted guy the article intros him as. From Wikipedia:

In 2020, an open letter to the Linguistic Society of America requesting the removal of Pinker from its list of LSA Fellows and its list of media experts was signed by hundreds of academics.[96][97] The letter accused Pinker of a "pattern of drowning out the voices of people suffering from racist and sexist violence, in particular in the immediate aftermath of violent acts and/or protests against the systems that created them", citing as examples six tweets and a phrase used in his 2011 book.[98]

Pinker said that through this letter he was being threatened by "a regime of intimidation that constricts the theatre of ideas".[99][100][101] Several academics criticized the letter and expressed strong support for Pinker
It really is a lot of baggage. Another person who would strongly agree with the idea that campus culture has become corrupted is Charles Murray. But you can see immediately why Charles Murray couldn't be the figure that reform unified behind! Pinker is, like, 650-750 milliMurrays. He gave a statement that had the intended effect of getting Epstein his sweetheart sentence! Just fatally compromised, for a bunch of reasons.

Beyond the Epstein stuff, and to calibrate the Murrayometer, I'd suggest searches like [Pinker Hsu], [Pinker Bell Curve], [Pinker "Groups and Genes"], [Pinker UCSB shooting], [Pinker "Richard Haier"]. You might be fine with all these search results! I'm saying: you're not going to be building a lot of bridges with this resume.
URL fragments are the part after the hash symbol (#) like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump#Books

the original use case (still used today) is to be able to jump to the first DOM element with such an ID; typically title elements, such as the "Books" above. It is only used by the client, so is never sent to the server.

Now with web applications, thanks to javascript, you can retrieve and use it. So now instead of using it as a locator inside of a page filled with content, you can use it as a string that you know isn't shared with the server: it's perfect for a secret key. You can send the receiver a link with that key, they will put it in their browser, receive the javascript from the server and use that javascript to decode content thanks to the key.

He had me until he threw in Charles Murray.

I want to believe these bold defenders of classical liberalism and enlightenment values, but I am not oblivious enough to the subtext. I can see what they're trying to wedge into the discussion.

It reminds me of the old 2000s intelligent design "wedge strategy" to sneak literalist creationism into schools and academia, only now it's biological racism that's got to be wedged in there. If you don't like over-zealous woke-ism, stop making them look reasonable by trying to sneak ideological racism in the back door.

It reminds me of the Monty Python dead parrot sketch.

Oooh look, "ethnic differences in brain structure" returns 10+ pages of papers by people who apparently are not being "cancelled." That's strange for a topic that you're supposedly not allowed to study. Maybe they're not being cancelled because they are just doing science and not trying to soft pill people on ideological racism.

These people think blacks are intellectually inferior to other races. That's what they think and they need to admit it or shut the fuck up. That is a dead parrot.

Yes, you're right. In fact the founders practically say as much in their Launch HN post.

I'm assuming the reddit post is by someone who is just really unfamiliar with YC and modern tech entrepreneurship. Hopefully, their question was sincere and they'll receive sensible answers.

As for the question of whether YC has lost its way - most institutions lose their way at some point, so it's a fair question, but I don't think it's fair to single out this particular company.

This game is fun:

> "The social contract applies equally to all instances of human life."

Clearly you're making an argument against abortion.

> "We should eliminate shame in connection with anyone's race, heritage, or other aspects of their origin over which they have no control."

Pedophiles make this argument to justify their urges.

> "There is nothing inherent in markets that perpetuates racial prejudice."

This one might as well be All Lives Matter. It's the common retort against claims of algorithmic racial bias and was used historically in the South to oppose government-mandated desegregation.

These are the claims you're using as examples of neutrality, until somebody puts them in a frame where they're not.

You can do that with everything because even an actually neutral claim is an opposition to a non-neutral claim by someone else, and therefore has political implications.
Epstein was flying everyone around on his plane.

You definitely didn't need to know the guy much at all to have flown on his plane at some point.
You know what you could also do? Don't break backwards compatibility. I know it sounds strange (if you're coming from modern JS development) but many ecosystems actually pull that off, like the entirety of Windows, or 99% of the ecosystem in Clojure/Script.

Then if you have over the years collected a bunch of incompatible changes that you would like to do, you create a new library with a new name, and do all the changes there.

Now you have the first library absolutely never breaking compatibility, and the second one for your "I absolutely must change the API interface here" changes.

> The other explanation is that this new wave of illiberalism “is just the cumulative effect of several generations” of professors having indoctrinated their students in an ideological mixture of postmodernism and Marxist critical theory. Unfortunately, we have just reached the tipping point.

A friend of mine quipped recently that you can always tell who is behind the curve on their critiques of colleges when they say things like this. For several years now the actual dynamic has been that the undergraduates arrive and tell the professors what to think.

In other words, whether you agree with the students or not, Pinker isn't going to have any success here because this culture is formed long before anyone gets to college.

Eh, I'd hold on that short position for now.

To me the real question is: what will come of these antitrust investigations into their targeted ad business?

That's the cash cow upon which their stock price is ultimately based. They've been able to get away with a lot of failures because ultimately advertising is such a huge business for them.

But if there's any move to break apart that business or regulate it in a way to create more competition in the market, to me that could be the thing that could start to undermine their share price.
Cancelling is only a problem because it got out of hand and started targeting people for things that weren't completely inacceptable.

Providing legal aid to a known pedophile is a step beyond, though. That would get you "canceled" pretty much anywhere, anytime. Having flown on the Lolita Express isn't any better. Lying about your relationship with that person is the cherry on top.

Plus, as the commenter said, the Harvard social science crowd is very shady, and it's most prominent members were often involved in various atrocities.
While I'd rather not get caught up in whataboutism on this issue, this particular article's presentation of these results as indicative of a problem for only right-wing students feels biased. Speaking anecdotally as someone who's currently a part of the University system, the general consensus seems to be that there is more of a back-and-forth power struggle between ideologically different groups on campus to censor each other. Often the more left-leaning voice prevails due to a combination of youthful favoring of left-wing ideas and dismissal of faith-based arguments, but generalizing it to all campuses isn't a fair assumption in the slightest. For example, here's a video shared by the minority party of the University of Florida's student government that outlines a concentrated effort by right-wing speakers to influence campus politics in their favor:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLDCeSchEl9/?utm_source=ig_web_...

(Apologies for the IG link)

For context, the majority party (Gator) is predominantly affiliated with Greek Life groups on campus, which allows them to coerce voting in their favor by denying brothers/sisters meals at the fraternity/sorority house if they cannot present an "I voted" sticker on election day. Since the majority of Gator's candidates are Greek-affiliated themselves (different Greek orgs are promised different positions by party leaders on a rotating basis) the large bloc of voters persuaded to vote by Greek orgs is more likely to vote in favor of the Gator Party. Gator subsequently works to amplify right-wing voices on campus and limit the freedom of speech of left-leanjng individuals. In this way, social justice focused efforts have been fighting an uphill battle at UF for several years.

My point in sharing this is not to imply that bias in academia is a balanced affair - the article makes clear that right-wing individuals are more likely to suffer from it. Rather, I want to emphasize that the opposite is true in some places, and that the movements on those campuses are growing. I'm not one to speak on the solution to the issue in either direction, but I fear that if one isn't found, we could quite easily witness the development kf more campuses where opposing right- or left-wing ideas aren't given the time of day.

If "by default" you mean starting from ground zero, that's an almost meaningless statement.

If the government passed a law requiring all housing to be be built to code to survive a magnitude 9 earthquake in a region where there are no earthquakes, and every house needs to be retrofitted, would you say the burden is low? After all, if you start from scratch without a house there is no requirement to do anything! And building a new house is much easier, after all!
I don't see any calls for cancellation in the parent comment. It seems that you presume his association with Epstein implicitly merits cancellation. I don't see the problem in pointing out this association.
Im very liberally biased but when college students are getting into politics it’s tough to just say hundreds of thousands of students are wrong. I don’t think culture on college campuses can “slide downhill”. These are the people who are educated and the most invested in the future. If they don’t like something, we may want to listen.
No, I mean they would continue to live on the territory they lived for centuries (somehow without apparently being ethnically cleansed by Georgians all that damn time). And without Russian involvement it would have long since went into participatory politics.

And it's not just a speculation, there was a perfect A/B test. Ajaria, another autonomous region of Georgia, long since had independence ambitions too. However that conflict fizzed out without notable violence.

The difference from Ossetia? It does not border Russia and there weren't substantial troops stationed at the time of USSR dissolution.
