The statement "Singal isn't anti-trans but… a lot of people tried to paint him as one" implies that the people who believe Singal is transphobic tend to be "pro-trans", or at least have some sort of agenda. I'm simply noting that a lot of anti-trans people seem to share that belief about his motivations.

That in and of itself doesn't mean he's transphobic, of course. But it does undercut the idea that one side is smearing him.
That's the question that the author of TFA should have researched very well before using it: in order to avoid those conditions.
Forcing anyone to change their sexual preferences because of social justice is plain wrong.
> they're there which is better than not having them at all

I disagree fervently. At my current job the department has strong pushes to use these features amongst the teams and if they weren't there we could explore real solutions.

As it stands we're doing things like task tracking and taking meeting notes in teams and it's a terrible experience. I can't help but wonder what happens to that corporate data when teams eventually gets the axe

> The modern concept of trans-ness only exists in the first place because people felt free to think about and question the conventional wisdom in gender politics.

BTW, this is just as true of the modern concept of gay. Egalitarian/romantic relationships among men were not typical or well-regarded prior to well into the 19th c., even within the relevant communities.

Ellen Pao was the beginning of the large scale decline of reddit. She might've done a decent job according to the owners, but I can't imagine much users agreeing with that assessment.
There are legitimate discussions to be had about things like the rates of detransitioning teenagers and mental health in the trans community. But places like Reddit have made such discussion verboten.
>but organizations lose their ability to deliver value as they grow all the time, which is where startups come in...

>I'm sure every person on this board can think of dozens of companies that failed because they got too big and could no longer deliver value as well as smaller companies. The tech space is littered with them every year.

Yes to both points. And so is the business (management) consulting and literature space littered with

Disruption (ha!), Clayton Christensen, Tom Peters, reengineering, innovator's dilemma, the HP way, Lou Gerstner, Teaching Elephants to Dance, Jack Welch, the HP Way, the IBM Way, the Toyota Way, Made in America, Made in Japan, etc.

I don't think it's an awful system but I don't think it's exactly right for HN - in normal operations it works fairly well but when combined with some less desirable HN stereotypes it can just involve shutting down discussion one disagrees with (e.g. merely mentioning Donald Trump by name was an insta flag during the election, but you could always get away with worse if you talked about democrats because the average user is further right than most forums)
+1 the Linehan article is explicitly hateful.

I think this is an attempt to defend her from that contravention of the hate speech policy, and is more cock-up than conspiracy IMO.
This is the most confusing comment I've seen on HN in years.

> I wish the so called open source projects were more inclusive.

- What barrier is there currently to open source projects. Take the code, do whatever you want with it.

- What is the difference between an open source project and a "so-called open source" project. Is the source available freely available? Then its open source. It is a gift!

> Many people would love to work on these projects, but are unable to because they need to have a paid employment to pay bills and feed family.

Why is that anyone else's problem? Billions of people don't get to do exactly what they want to do. Many (most?) open source contributors work on the open source in their spare time. "Many people would love to do X, but are unable to because Y". You can fill in those blanks for anything.

> Companies who use such software are essentially getting labour without paying for it. We need to think about royalty system that will be reimbursing people working on those projects...

They aren't paying for it because the person who wrote it didn't want them to pay for it. You are trying to control the explicit desires of the person who created and shared the software.
Of course. And being accused of hate or shamed for not wanting to change your sexual preference is deeply regressive.
Grid launches empowering spreadsheet-to-web software
There's a large difference, at least compared to Uniswap V3. Read the features to see what the new version has that SushiSwap doesn't.

For the record, SushiSwap is a fork of Uniswap, so the initial features of SushiSwap was all that Uniswap had.

By now, they mainly differ in that SushiSwaps governance seems to still go forward while Uniswap has been stuck since the requirement for doing proposals is too high.
Yeah, there really needs to be a "secure, but not trusted" mode. My suggestion would be add a "trusted-only" TXT DNS entry that a browser could check when presented with an untrusted connection.

(a) She is a reddit admin that was previously a public figure in both the green party and the liberal democrats.

(b) While in the green party, she recruited her father as a campaign manager while knowing he was being charged for sexual offences, and he would eventually be convicted of raping and torturing a 10 year old child which was held captive in the attic of the house she was living in at the time. This brought disrepute to the party and she was removed. After this she got a position within the liberal democrats, and got suspended from the party after her boyfriend's twitter account was found to have posts admitting to having sexual fantasies involving sex with children.

(c) Reddit admins presumably care because they have now employed her as an admin, but don't want any criticism of her past as referenced in (b). This is presumably to protect her as an employee, but is problematic as they act as a news sharing site to some extent, and she is/was a public figure.
Thanks for confirming! I haven't thought much more about this, but even the "let's confirm that this is indeed a 1:1 identity map" approach seems brittle. And I don't know if the first few pages of physical memory are used for anything special on this architecture, but if not, you might run into the (extraordinarily rare) situation where the first 2 virtual pages are regularly mapped to the first 2 physical pages because they were free. Granted, that's a bit like winning the lottery... But all in all, barring any "for some reason"s you mentioned, just properly reading the segment register and going through all motions really seems like the best approach.

It's fun what can be inferred from just a few paragraphs in a blog, I hope I didn't fail to take super important details of the architecture into account. :)

>I mean if you're against vaccines, the best public health measure since soap, perhaps you're the weakest link we're begging natural selection to act on.

I'm not against vaccination I'm against mandatory vaccination and limiting my human rights if I don't vaccinate. Nobody will prevent you from visiting a country if you don't use glasses, take antibiotics or anything else you mentioned.

I never visited Africa but I heard there are some security measures regarding Malaria but c'mon forbidding someone to work or travel only because he or she didn't get vaccinated against 1 pathogen is over the top.
The use of the BSL 1.1 for Uniswap Core is one of the most interesting parts of this announcement. It will certainly slow wholesale cloning of their smart contracts.
I 'm pretty confident that shows up as a certificate error with it's own scare page, not connection reset. Usually on cert errors you can click through all the warnings and accept the risks to connect anyway. Connection reset is just a complete dead end.

I have pondered whether there's some way for the firewall to have a whitelist of sites that it allows without SSL MITM and otherwise sends reset for unknown SSL sites unless the firewall's MITM certificates are used. Our IT might be paranoid enough to do that.

I don't have any evidence that the firewall does any MITM other than I found it listed as a feature that can be configured on the firewall's website when I've been googling. But even then the error people complain about is bad cert not connection resets. I have tested with Chrome on systems that IT cannot have injected certificates into and they do work. I do know that I can access my home server's let's encrypt site using firefox and chrome without problems and the keys are correct. So it's not really high in my suspicion list.

Anyway it looks like I need to learn how to packet sniff.
That article gave no numbers. It made a claim and didn't back it up.
With signal-cli and perhaps other third-party clients, you can register a new Signal account on an ordinary computer. You do need a phone to receive the Signal confirmation SMS, but that can even be a dumbphone.

Obviously signal-cli is never going to be a solution for the mass public, but using it is an option for some HN readers – this is a "news for nerds" website.
The people pushing hatred against trans people dress it up in nice language so useful idiots then go around saying things like "keeping a critical attitude is entirely legitimate".

The gender critical movement is based on antisemitic conspiracy theories (eg Bilek) and unhinged hatred of trans people (eg Glinner).
That pqRSA paper by DJB is a joke, but it's mathematically correct and an interesting thought experiment - RSA really becomes post-quantum when you use a 1 TB key because it outgrows what Shor's algorithm can scale at that point. The paper is actually better, it proposed an original algorithm, GEECM, that's faster than Shor's algorithm for numbers with many small factors, then also showed pqRSA is safe from GEECM. He even submitted the algorithm to the NIST Post-Quantum Competition for review (among his more practical algorithms like Classic McEliece), it's just hilarious.

Yeah, I've not used the "auto" features to that extent, but I've DJ'ed at a few events and festivals just for fun and it's super convenient to have software that has analyzed my music library for BPM and key. I still get to play whatever I want to play, but if I'm drawing a blank or just looking for inspiration, I can sort by all tracks within "n" BPM of the current track and in the same/compatible key.

Then if I really want to play something that wouldn't normally fit with an easy transition, I can always adjust they key or tempo on the fly. There are limits before it starts to sound weird, but that can also be a neat way to mess with a song. Add a riff or a phrase from one song into the current one, but only because I'm able to halve the speed or chop up the time signature to match.

And that's just me as a barely fluent hobbyist. Experienced DJs can do some great stuff. Even a non-"mixing" DJ like a radio DJ can string together songs based on thematic connections, sneaky relations between artist or lyric or even the conditions in the room. Those can be a lot of fun and would be a lot harder to automate than simple beat matching.

It's automatic. If enough users flag a post, it gets "killed" and will only show up (with the tag "[flagged][dead]") if you have the "showdead" option enabled in your profile.
Right. Interesting thing with those is we wouldn't indeed know if it was the grounds for suppression.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. “Gender critical” people (they are not feminists) regularly harass trans people, including kids, to the point of suicide. They lobby for discriminatory legislation that makes life-saving medical care difficult or impossible to access for trans people. They are instrumental in spreading bewilderingly unscientific anti-trans propaganda with the deliberate effect of harming and demonizing trans people, with the predictable effect of inspiring more hate crimes. They organize in order to harass and abuse trans people out of employment and housing. They just straight up lie. And if you were to peruse that subreddit, you’d also see them regularly joke about lying to AFAB trans people in order to exploit them for sex because those were the “hot butches” in a way that was incredibly hateful and, honestly, pretty rapey.

These people are abusers and bigots. They’re no different than any other hate group, except that they often use the language of victimhood to cloak their primary mode of social aggression. (This is the mode of aggression that it is most acceptable for AFAB people to express, so they get really, really good at it. It has a lot in common with the dynamics of emotional abuse, and, for lack of a better term, mean girling (which is, especially after adolescence, a particularly effective form of abuse)).

So you have no idea what you’re talking about, but based on your other comments in this thread — you genuinely seem to think homosexuality is a modern invention? And that it came out of some sort of predatory behavior? — it seems this is a willful ignorance that accommodates the hate and disgust you already feel for certain minorities.
Weird how the gender critical community comes out of the shattered remains of the political lesbian community who wanted to do exactly that.
I'd like to assume he meant that he would walk them through installing Signal, and not just install it without them asking. I can't imagine what that interaction is like...
I can tell you first hand that the money at MIT is not going to Julia. Okay, there was a few years we had a devops person dedicated to making the JuliaLang organization work (at probably half the salary of FAANG for the love of OSS and MIT prestige), but the vast majority of the money does not go to Julia. For grant money at MIT, more than 50% is siphoned away before it gets to the lab. Then, the vast majority of that leftover money is not for software development but instead for research in methods for parallel computing, scientific machine learning, and applications to XYZ (you can just take a look at my CV or Alan Edelman's if you're curious about what the Julia Lab actually does).

While a lot of this research does trickle back into the Julia ecosystem, it's much less direct than Facebook paying the day salary for a bunch of PyTorch engineers. In fact, it's almost the opposite: most of the people who are paid are graduate students, who may be at risk of graduating if all they do is contribute to Julia instead of getting the required research manuscripts written.

One of the major transformations that has happened to the ecosystem though is that post-1.0 it has gotten some pretty wide industry adoption, along with some major success stories built directly off of the Julia ecosystem. Julia Computing, Pumas-AI, RelationalAI, Invenia, and Beacon Biosystems are just a few companies that are noteworthy of hiring a good number of contributors to the language and package ecosystem. The hiring by these kinds of entities has actually been growing so rapidly that it's a great labor market to be looking for a job in. But most of this hiring frenzy is not driven by MIT.

I dropped off most of the WWW similarly a few years back. I was exhausted and the last thing I had the energy for was composing a post to several platforms and imagining all the incoming replies.
What's the alternative? As a Digg v4 refugee, I've always wondered.

Trouble is that deep knowledge of niche communities has taken 15 years - a not-insignificant portion of a lifetime - to accumulate. If the site dies, so much specialised discussion is scattered where it'll be far harder to find.
The source was available but the project was essentially dead. You could fork but contributing upstream was hard.

I've had exactly the same issue for 2 years and I have narrowed it to dropped packets on the network.

I'm connected to internet through WiFi bridge that periodically has transmission issues (over 200 meters distance) and if average amount of transmitted packets (I can see it in antenna panel) is anything else then 100% and negotiated speed is anything lower than maximum 54 Mbps then neither Safari nor Firefox will be reliable and I will get "connection reset by peer" error that will go away after refresh. Chromium-based browsers work fine, I'm using Vivaldi with no issues. On Windows tools like curl and wget work with no issues but not on macOS - it looks like a deeper problem with its network stack that Chromium browsers somehow avoid.

It might be a correlation without casualization, but I also was unable to find a good way to debug this issue.

Those are the exact same things. One is just the perspective of the oppressor and one is the perspective of the oppressed.

Why? You give no evidence to support your argument as to how restricted speech makes makes things “more fair and democratic”.
You might try this. I can’t vouch for it but the concept seems interesting to me.

Perhaps, but I'm surprised given the level of influence Reddit has these days. Reddit reaches about 500 million people per month, probably more. It's not "just a silly message board" anymore.

They have a comparatively tiny number of employees and those people have a very real power to control narratives. We're seeing just the tiniest glimpse of that here because the employee in question has done so in an incredibly egregious manner. The question this whole incident should raise is "what else is going on, that we haven't yet seen?". The specifics of this particular example are uninteresting.

What’s the point of this really? Yea you can live like 1999, but the world isn’t in 1999. You’re gonna miss out on the modern human experience, you’re gonna be “that guy”, you’re not gonna be able to relate to anyone, you won’t know about anyone’s life and no one will care to tell you.

Retreating to the past isn’t controlling your addictions, it’s giving up. You can own a smartphone, use social media, without it taking over your life, you just need self control. As the world changes you’re gonna be stuck grasping at a past that no longer exists. It will be lonely.
