I am 100% convinced that the rate of pedophile is higher in:

- positions of power (we have had a few in france who were judges / party representatives etC...)

- any job close to children, which includes in particular schools, but also..

- church

Why ? Because if you woke up tommorow as a pedophile, without any morals, and wanted to maximise the "chances" to satisfy your sexual attraction, where would you go ? Exactly.
I agree. As long as they own the website, they will own the ability to censor. In the beginning, there wasn't a need to censor. In fact, anti-censorship views were held by both the admins and the users [0].

>Cries to censor it would sound out, to be almost inevitably beaten back by cries of "free speech!" The idea of free speech is sacred to many Reddit users, a product of the free-wheeling online message board culture from which Reddit springs.
Agreed

It's a bit ironic that the group that likes saying how other groups are "snowflakes" get the most offended by what was essentially a joke.
> Your lifestyle and work may just be five or ten years ahead of it being worthwhile for businesses to provide what you need.

I think it’s also the whole telecoms situation in the US puts it ten years behind everywhere else. The data caps and bandwidth issues are mostly not a technical or business cost issue. Ubiquitous fast and cheap 4G is quite normal elsewhere.
AskHN: How much is Chrome and how much is Chromium?
I have ended up using Microsoft Edge v2 (Chromium)
a lot recently.

In part to attempt escape from Googles eco system.

Edge can now use Chrome Extensions without any problems, but that also bring problems.

If Google removes an extension from their store that now impacts Edge.
If there are vulnerabilities in an extension that now impact Edge.

Edge has its own extension store but there are very few extensions that live there
(so far)

What I have started to wonder if how much of Chrome or Edge is Chromium.

Is the extension hosting / executing code in Chromium?
Is AMP in Chromium?

What are the borders between the open source project and the closed source derivative?
Not much point in keeping the "3." around when we don't expect a "4.0" version to happen in the foreseeable future.
You can't. If you're notified then you need to promptly fix the issue with the complainant. When it comes to being sued for damages you can point at the the fact that there was no reasonable way for you to know that the license you trusted was invalid and at the author who was presumably negligent. If you've cooperated fully and mitigated it quickly that should protect you. Ignorance in this case is an excuse when it is reasonable and defensible ignorance, and not negligence on your part.
I didn't realize how large they were.

But I saw one at the top of an electrical tower and from the ground it was large but not gigantic. Much later on they took the nest down and it was the size of a Mini! Yes, the British car.

It’s not the will of the market because the people with power pass laws to funnel resources even more to people with power.

When we have developers building luxury condos amidst squalor, that’s a second-order effect of policies intended to create such contrasts. The market is constrained by the laws.
> we aren't talking about that house.

My ability to pressure the Chinese government is remarkably limited compared to my ability to pressure my Senator, which is also not large - on a good day.

China isn't a transparent society - on a good day, either. That's facts.

There is also what might be called diplomatic pragmatism, a realpolitik. So, let's fix what we can fix, and make a point of not being a fricking embarrassment if we ask other governments to come clean.

edit:
The problem here is several-fold. (1) There's opacity that is over Wuhan, and time does not help this; the Chinese government (at some levels) tried to cover it up. There may not be evidence any more of what happened. Ordinary time shuffling may have removed it. Period. The author is experienced at observing the open society's sloppiness with these sorts of accidents, and thinks there's at least a plausible case that it may have been released.

(2) The open society's ability to pressure China into being fully cooperative is partially conditioned on its reputation and soft power at demonstrating how good things can be. Which, it has not been.

(3) I am really really not in a meaningful position to call for changes to happen outside of a very limited location. That is because I am a citizen of the USA, resident in WA state. So. I would like to see the USA clean up its act; I would particularly like WA to clean it up. I can most effectively contact officials, etc, and attend meetings & interest groups in relation to this sort of event. This is not whataboutism, this is dealing with the parts of the world I can affect.

(4) If Covid was released from a military/research lab because someone goofed on a security protocol, what does that matter to me, compared to someone who got sneezed on by an animal? Seriously. I don't think it matters in the wash. Health systems have to be resilient to novel pathogens, regardless of the etiology of patient zero.

> Often these people complain that the site isn't available to them for these purposes and demand that the filtration system be dismantled (censorship! suppression!). But if the filtration system didn't exist, HN wouldn't be a desirable target in the first place.

This makes obvious sense when the things getting flagged are the abortion debate or similarly off-topic flamewars.

The problem comes when it's a story like tech censorship which is both on-topic and political. On-topic specifically in that it's a debate where the people here are directly affected and have a particular domain-specific knowledge and ability to affect change. The abortion debate you can go have anywhere.

Because a site like this will out-compete others for its population demographic. The alternative space where the same demographic might discuss political stories with direct relevance to them is defeated and disappears, leaving only this space to do it in. If it's then stamped out in this space too, there is nowhere left and the population demographic here is effectively disenfranchised.

And it goes double when the topic of conversation is censorship and manipulation of speech on major platforms, because having the discussion on the incumbent platforms would subject the anti-censorship efforts to the censorship.

There’s a nest and nesting pair you can see really clearly from the wildlife viewing area at Barr Lake State Park, about a mile and a half from the parking lot. Helps to have a telephoto lens or decent pair of binoculars, although when I was there a few weeks ago there were several just hanging out in trees right next to trails.

Oh wow, I completely missed that. Sorry!

Regardless, during the trial photos of Aimee with the victim were discovered on Amiee's phone.

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes of course, that's completely different.

Does anyone know where to find more info about this? It's such a strange situation.

EDIT: There are some details here: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/coventry-captive...

though nothing about Aimee being in the photos. I'm curious how she wasn't implicated in that case. How weird...
You’re totally right, I misread that. Thanks for the correction.

I've been on a bit of an youtube archiving kick lately. Does anyone know of a good list of youtube videos that were uploaded during the protests (e.g. documenting the protest, police brutality, etc)? I'm probably too late to the party though, since I understand a lot of protesters took down their social media uploads in support of the protests after the national security law was enacted.
Yes, that's the confusing part.

Where are the evidences of such government-sponsored activities? As I said, normal Chinese mainlanders usually don't have much impetus to confront others, even if they wholeheartedly stand against the counterparts, in this case, most mainlanders would be against HK protestors. Then these people are organized by CCP, then what are the evidences?
You realise that regular users flag things, not admins?

The title is just a title. The article is more complicated than the title.

> I don't hold all else equal, because nothing is equal.

Well yes, obviously. My point is that the observed outcome is in line with the expected outcome based on the increase in car sizes. But still it's a bit more complicated.

note the following:

> In 2019, 6,301 pedestrians were killed by vehicles on American streets — up 46% from 2010. Over the same timespan, the total for all traffic deaths rose by 5%.

This implies that distracted driving could be partially responsible, but something else is probably going on with pedestrians.

and:

> And in the first half of 2020, while driving was down because of the pandemic, the pedestrian death rate — the number of people struck and killed compared with the number of miles driven — soared by 20%, putting 2020 on track for the largest one-year increase in the death rate ever.

The article goes on to posit the popular theory that increased vehicle speed is the key factor in the last year. In fact a lot of the advocacy around the issue is focused on traffic calming in urban centers which has been shown repeatedly to lower the number of pedestrian deaths.
They're replacing a lot of GC'd standard library functions with @nogc functions, so people might not have to depend on the GC soon.

Some people were also working on a reference counted type (that'd replace the GC I guess?) a few years ago, but I don't know what happened to that, or if it did make into the language. There are a few open RC pull requests from 2019 on the d runtime repository.

In the US I've been sadly unsurprised by how little coverage Hong Kong has gotten recently.

Our politicians are a disgrace. They scream about democracy when a bunch of hooligans riot at the Capitol, but when a human-rights defiling government legitimately suppresses democracy for 7M people, they stay silent.

They stay silent on organ harvesting, on the quasi-genocide of the Uighurs, and any number of other human rights abuses.

If the politicians, particularly those on the left, had an ounce of principle and even attempted to walk their talk, they would be leading the charge against China at every turn.

Here is a chance to step up for human rights and democracy in a big way, and it's crickets from our leaders.
I spent a month in Jaco in Jan/Feb this year. I found it to be a nice middle ground where it's on the beach, but is also a (small) city with reliable internet. It's easy to get to Santa Teresa/San Jose/Manuel Antononio, etc as well.

It has a (not-entirely-undeserved) rep as being seedy/a party town, but I found the overall pros to outweigh cons related to that.
If the Intel foundry business creates supply, even for people who are not Nvidia/AMD/Apple, they still win via increased competition on TSMC and Samsung.
Some economists maybe? Perhaps, if you think the only thing to gain is money? Some people do silly things because of other reasons (fame, ego, obligation, greed, retribution, etc). See recent 'stonks' as a good example of people actually spending money for non monetary gain. It is these other factors which feed into many economic models unknowingly. When those variables move they can radically change a model and cause it to do funny things.

Kotlin is by far my favorite language-to-date. I moved my dev team to it years ago, it's all server side. We still have over a decade's worth of Java code to maintain, but anything new is in Kotlin (even in the legacy applications, we just add Kotlin). So nice. Makes me happy when other people get onboard and say "oooh yes, this is much better than our legacy Java". I was a HUGE Java proponent from 1999 to around 2010, when I started really getting annoyed that the language was missing so much that other languages had. Eventually we tried Scala, too complex to deal with in large teams to get everyone onboard, Clojure was a pain as everyone tried to be as clever as possible (and errors were awful, tooling was painful as not everyone wants to use emacs), then Kotlin came around and we never looked back.

I remember one of the things that attracted me to reddit back in the day was a lady who had been some character at Disney doing an IAMA. That was the beauty of IAMA with everyday people.

Then they changed the subreddit rules and only accept "Notable" people for IAMAs and r/casualiama was born. In the 10 years I've been at Reddit it has changed a lot, including some "niche" communities that I was at, as Reddit becomes more popular all it's subreddits degrade into Meme collections.

One subreddit was shut down. There are many other subreddits with pro-Trump users -- I visit them when I'm bored.

> a team composed exclusively of uncaring engineers is pretty much doomed to fail

Yes, but not because of the lack of passionate programmers, but because most software companies are dysfunctional. A few passionate souls can make a project succeed in spite of all the underlying dysfunction, but it's cruel of the industry to continue leaning on those people.

Teams of uncaring developers would consistently deliver working software on time and on budget if they were both trained in the same level of skill and given the same level of respect that let uncaring civil engineers build stable bridges on time and on budget. And I would certainly hate living in a society where the only thing between me and a smoking hole at the bottom of a gorge is one passionate civil engineer.

> Why did YC back this?

This comes up a lot on Launch HN posts. The answer is always "YC backs teams, not ideas". They liked the founders and think the founders have potential.

If this is how the founders choose to use that potential, then so be it. Maybe they will make a success, maybe they will pivot. YC will back them up and help them either way.
> Seems like the biggest news here is Intel committing strongly to its fab business. Walling that division off from Intel's own chip design business is critical to giving it a chance to succeed. Having a third fab with competitive tech (along with TSMC and Samsung) is great for the world!

Yes and no. This is also a possible signal that Intel is getting ready to go fabless. AMD made similar moves with Globalfoundries before parting ways.
do you think autonomous driving is unethical too? According to the currently prevailing view even if a bot does it for you, you're still considered a driver as the bot is just a tool that you're using to accomplish a goal. Or if we just limit the scope to writing - do you think using a tool like grammer.ly is unethical?
> Considering there's overhead for the rest of the application, there's no way to use such keys on such a device.

If you wait a small number of years you'll be able to get twice the ram at the same price. So "it would barely fit in ram if nothing else is running" doesn't seem like a significant barrier to me.

> A trusted proxy works if ECC is secure (no quantum computers), but if quantum attacks are practical then there would be no way to verify that the trusted proxy is actually what you think it is.

Your trusted proxy would be using one of the secure multi-megabyte keys, of course. Am I missing something about that arrangement? If signatures would also be enormous then we have a more significant problem to deal with than key size.
