I'm surprised to see people agreeing with this hypothesis ... while commenting on HN. I'm a huge fan of the site rules (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and the way they are applied by the moderation team. But that said, HN has the most heavy handed censorship of any site I frequent. Read all the rules from start to finish and ask yourself if you'd be ok following these rules in every Internet forum.

"Strong moderation" and "heavy censorship" are the same thing, just dependent on whether you agree with the moderation or not. If you disagree, please show me a site without moderation that still has high quality discussion.
Thankfully there are more than two people on earth and this edge case won't happen. Because many people are nearly at zero there are a number of also-poor merchants selling low-end goods, and Bob is able to trade a small amount of labour for the goods he needs, and can work his way up.

> yes, the cost might be some inflation, but predictions of inflation have lately failed

For a time, anything may remain out of sync. But you can't get more money from less workers. You can't redistribute to provide UBI, you have to print it, and that devalues the currency.

Even sillier, most UBI proposals are tied to a consumer index, such that when the currency was devalued you would print and distribute more, but with zero concern for the actual workers whose salaries are not also being inflated to match. Eventually the premium for working will be small enough that you'd be a fool for having a job.

And of course "predictions of inflation have lately failed". Because nobody is giving out UBI on a large enough scale. It's suicide. Even tax-and-spend bread-and-circus providing pols still want to be in power next year, so there's a limit to what they can print, and how widely they can distribute it.

Really? Where?

Usually I've seen forms like this

"I strongly believe in (basic description of X)"

"You know that's X, right?!"

"I'm not X"

"Alright, would you say you believe in (wikipedias first paragraph on X)?"

"Oh yes! You really understand!"

"You know I just lifted that from wikipedia article on X"

"Let me hear it again. Ok, that's not exactly right." Etc...

Try it yourself next time, it's pretty remarkable. They're not acting in bad faith or trying to deceive.

It's like an addict who believes they smoke cigarettes not because they have an addiction but because they enjoy the taste.

Most people want to believe they've made the right decisions (https://grist.org/article/80-percent-of-humans-are-delusiona...). They think racism is wrong so therefore their beliefs can't be racist.
Not that long ago the most powerful and free country in the world was engulfed in chaos after the killing of George Floyd.

The event was polarising and you had your anti-rioter camp and anti-police camp. It should not be hard to see how there would have been direct chains of command on either side which could facilitate data misuse.

If you want a hard example, look at Hong Kong: protestors getting arrested via all manner of tracking, but also police's family being doxxed by protestors.

Also see Belarus and now Myanmar.

I don't know why these studies keep getting funded.

Here is how they (generally) work: You take a mouse and cure it's Alzheimer's, right? Except mice don't live 70 years, and even if they did you can't wait 70 years for Alzheimer's mice to test drugs on. So you inject poison into the mouse's brain so it kindof has Alzheimer's like symptoms. Well, that's not even quite right, since you can't tell if a mouse has Alzheimer's like symptoms or just generalized brain damage (it's a mouse, you can't ask it if it can remember what year it is or what their kids names are, you can only see if they can remember which cup the cheese is under, well actually you can't even test that, just whether they behave like a healthy mouse would if it remembered, or some other really poor proxy for the sort of cognitive test you would use to diagnose Alzheimer's in humans) , but whatever, you have all these mice and someone is paying to inject them with poison so what can you do? Then you treat the poison damage with a drug, and get results ... but later it doesn't work on Alzheimer's in humans at all because human Alzheimer's isn't brain damage from poison injected into the brain.
A fire like that in SBG a few days ago is extremely rare. The data lost there compared to all data stored in data centers probably justifies eight 9s. The problem with these numbers is that it's extremely unlikely to lose data but if you do, the event is so severe that everything might be gone.

That's why I feel more comfortable storing data across two "unreliable" providers with a lot of physical space in between them rather than one super reliable provider.

You also have to consider that data loss can result of simple things such as an account that gets blocked for stupid reasons. If you want to be safe you always need to have your data with at least 2 providers.

>There is a pardadox of tolerance with respect to free speech. We cannot expect to maintain freedom of expression if we treat everyone who actually expresses themselves as a sinner.

In every thread about free speech, the people against it cite the 'paradox of tolerance'. Or half of it anyway. They invariably leave off the back half, which is pointedly anti-censorship:

>Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — *In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise.* But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

200 people isn't very much. Twitter has 192 million users. Assuming (extremely generously given that twitter is on the Internet and has a userbase that skews younger) that twitter matches America's partisan divide, it probably has around 90 million users.

It seems unlikely that at least a thousand people out of 90 million aren't gullible enough to be swayed by hellbanning.

You are completely missing the point. Because those laws exist, the argument for "free speech" and against censorship is ignorant. We don't have free speech and never had and never will, no country on earth has, because it's ridiculous to the point of been childish. Speech is not free, it has limits, like everything else.

And about Alex Jones, the case proves beyond reasonable doubt that he should had been censored to prevent the damage and that is my point. His speech has real life serious consequences that hurt people even if he didn't do it personally and he didn't intended to happen.

There's a risk that I'm mixing things up at the moment, but I do remember that the "hjkl" navigation did not work properly on VS code with VIM extension. Since I've already switched this behavior now Terminal & iTerm have adapted to it.

For a while I couldn't put my finger at why this was, and then I realized that scrolling up/down is essentially disabled without key repetition for vim. It also seems to act slightly funky between apps for the "scroll speed/delay" sensitivity. It works fine in vim now, but somehow it's very sensitive on slacks app and browser. (but not VS code)

I guess I'm just used to keep my hand mostly on keyboard, and would like to use mouse/touchpad as little as possible.

In a similar way, withholding of income tax feels much more painless than having to pay it in full backwards in April, or even several times a year.

There is a good chance that if everyone had to pay their income tax manually, the tax burden would shift quite a bit.

But glacier also has minimum storage duration. With S3, you'll need to use a tiered system unless you want to store all backups for several months (often that's only the case for weekly or monthly backups).

In the end, S3 can be cheaper but you have to make a lot of assumptions beforehand. Backblaze is cheap enough to just throw everything in there and work with their lifecycle rules. You don't need to make assumptions about download volumes or storage duration beforehand (esp if you can retrieve via cloudflare).
Jean-Paul Sartre has a good quote on this - he framed it around anti-semitism but it covers othes as well, it might as well been written about QAnon or COVID deniers:

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

So, making sure people can live their lives, without being discriminated and abused, is extremism? What you are saying is that people with more liberal and left leaning views should just forget about it and roll with the right, unless the right feels hurt.

It would help, if you would the issues the left should soften up on.

And that is what makes it so disappointing. Dryden -- who is a genius, a brilliant writer, and one of the most accomplished NHL goaltenders ever -- is absolutely wrong on the point that goaltenders should just stay on their knees all game.

NHL shooters have no problem hitting the uppermost part of the goal at will, and a goaltender on his knees simply doesn't cover enough of that area. This is a 6'5" goalie in that position (presumably having dropped down from upright after the shot is taken): https://www.1stohiobattery.com/columbus-blue-jackets-news/20...

If the shooter is 5 or more feet away, and has a couple seconds to set up a shot, and the goaltender is on his knees, it is virtually an automatic goal. Someone employing the strategy Dryden suggests should be the standard would lose every game for their team.

This takes away from his other very good commentary about the aesthetics of the game changing.
Wow, the best part to me is:

In November 2011, the toast sandwich was recreated by the Royal Society of Chemistry in a tasting almost 150 years (...) They named it "the country's most economical lunch", offering £200 to whoever could create a cheaper meal. Due to an overabundance of submissions, the offer was closed 7 days later and the £200 given to a randomly selected entrant.
I'm willing to sacrifice some function to form. But damn I have my limits, and these chairs are way past mine.

I just bought a new desk for my office at home. Functionally speaking, it's worse than my old, L-shaped one. The old one had more usable space on it, had good depth in the corner for my displays and laptops, with plenty of desktop in front for writing or whatnot. It also took less space in the room, because of its shape.

But it was plain, kinda shabby, and didn't spark any joy.

The new desk is gorgeous[0]. Rosewood finish with a floating top and pretty legs and all that. It sits in the middle of the room. I have to use a coaster now with drinks. I have to take care not to bang my chair into it, or carelessly throw my keys on it, etc.

And it's worth it. I really like just looking at this, more than I miss the convenience of the old L-shaped desk. It might not be everyone's taste, but I have a hard time believing that even those who don't care for it don't at least see how I could.

But these chairs? I just don't see it. Its one thing to be uncomfortable. Fine. But try not to be ugly while you're at it. I might also be "that guy", though?

But key for being 24/7 in front my computer with zero issues for decades is among other things—I move all the time, hence I need a keyboard which moves all the way with me and you can imagine that my feet are also moving their location and nobody wants to arrange all the foot paddles every time you move. And in these times in your home office it's great to put your feet up here and then.

A coworker's story:

Some clients are flying into Redmond for a meeting, and he's picking them up from the airport. They call. "We're here. Where are you?"

"Well, I'm at the airport. Where are you?"

"I told you, we're at the airport. How can you miss us? We're the only people here. This place is tiny!"

They had flown into Redmond, Oregon, which has an attached municipal airport, instead of Seattle-Tacoma. The meeting is delayed while they arrange to fly to the correct state.
We should unironically taboo the words fascist (unless referring to 30's Italy), nazi (unless referring to third reich), communist (unless they propose a People's Republic) and socialist (not really referring to anything, but the word has become an ad hom at this point) to have any kind of healthy political debate. It is cowardly to hide behind those words and not say what you actually mean

I partly agree with you. You cannot convince a person with an extreme view (see flat earthers for example).

But I do believe you need to give reasonable responses to extreme views, to prevent others from becoming extreme. Calling someone "fascist" is in that sense never constructive.

Reasonable views are hard to argue with.

I've always said this works against me but makes me great at the product side of the house because I can leverage my natural inclinations better.

Not sure what you mean by "fascists form of government"? Something like Italy in 1924-1945? I don't think there's any political power that advocates anything like that, and I am sure that at least 99.999% of daily use of terms "fascist" and similar ones are not directed at people who advocate appointing Il Duce and advocating government after Mussolini's example.
