> Your account appears to be one of a long series of accounts we've previously banned for years

Is this some kind of joke?

Have I upset the wrong person?

This is my first account here, I've been reading HN for no more than a year now...

> they've also used multiple accounts in the same threads to appear to be multiple people, which is obviously an abuse in its own right

What?

I repeat myself: you're making a big mistake, I don't know how you jumped at those conclusions, but they are wrong.

Why in the hell should I have done that?

My parent comment received another upvote after you banned me.

Where's the proof of what you say?

I had no reason, no motive and there's obviously no gain from doing it.

Are you implying that I am stupid?

Please reconsider.

Or don't, I can live without HN.

You know what's frustrating?

Being the black man that is banned, without proof, by white people with blue eyes.

That might be true technically, but there is a price to pay when governments insist on being able to pry into otherwise private data, and part of that price is that business entities operating within their jurisdiction may not be considered sufficiently trustworthy from a legal data protection point of view, particularly by business entities in other jurisdictions who have their own compliance obligations to worry about. This has been an issue for EU-US data sharing for years, it's a current issue for post-Brexit EU-UK relations, and if recent trends continue it may even become an issue for inter-state data transfer within the US. And those are all examples between relatively close allies with generally good diplomatic relations and comity.
Also, also came to say exactly the same thing.

My thought process:
1. Oh - neat idea! [ Checks website ]
2. Okay, cool. Early stages, but on the right track.
3. Who the hell are these companies
4. Ugh, I'm not going to click on each one to find out.
5. Let's go comment about this on HN. I bet someone beat me to the punch.
I'd buy a watch with this type of display.
Don't people at this level not use trust funds or some such, some kind of entity which owns the shares. The entity in turned is owned by the person, but as long as they don't get the money, there are little tax consequences for selling.
I appreciate how they are using their platform, it is an option and they are choosing that option.

It would be nice if their IDE linter would help this along though, compliance would be tricky for developers.
Mostly logical and makes sense, BUT how is one supposed to go over all those? is there lint tool to check documentations?
I wish someone at Google said "We have this idea that would significantly improve user privacy, and that's through means that would fundamentally hurt our possibility to deliver ads".

Or facebook saying "we have this idea that would improve the experience on our platforms, and we think it's a great idea despite hurting our ability to grow, show ads and our short term bottom line. It actively discourages 'engagement'".

If I had any stock in either company I'd still be delighted about these. I think it's the best long term growth strategy they can have. Focusing not on growth but on users and goodwill.
The biggest issue I see in this list is that it compounds multiple concerns: grammar, Google and socio-political (or however you choose to call it).

While it makes a lot of sense for Google, I have no reason to use it if I'm not a Googler (and even then).

I'm reminded of Diggnation from around 2005.

Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht would put out weekly videos/podcasts where they'd talk about the top news articles appearing on Digg (which Kevin helped start).

Because Kevin was in the tech, media, and startup scenes, there was a lot of interesting information mixed in along with the humor and drinking.

Is there a modern day equivalent to Diggnation?
Nostalgia, really -- I have fond associations of these with childhood train journeys.

Avoid using gendered terms. Instead use a word like artificial, manufactured, or synthetic.

"Man" refers to a person, or specifically an individual of the human species in this context.

Are you sure you actually sleep well? Not trying to wind you up but usually if people sleep well they can handle stress much better - sleep builds resilience for us. I'd try a "good" sleep tracker if you don't already have one to see how performant your sleep actually is. If your sleep _is_ good then I would focus on improving resilience through meditation, exercise and mindfulness (live in the moment, recognise you cannot control some situations etc). Cheers

> Given that the UK is one of the better countries in medical care quality, why are things still so bad?

Some people have spoken about the GP missing EDS, and those are good points. There's a bit of work happening in England to improve rates of diagnosis for those patients.

I want to talk a bit about the MH aspect. There are four separate systems in the UK. Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and England all have separate NHS systems. I'm only going to talk about the English system.

In England commissioning is split across clinical commissioning groups and NHS England. England has been split into geographical regions, and each region has a CCG. That CCG will commission the bulk of healthcare for their local population. This includes most, but not all, mental health care. Some conditions are rare and highly specialist, and so it doesn't make sense for those to be commissioned by CCGs. That commissioning ("specialist commissioning") is done by NHS England. This includes in-patient eating disorder treatment.

Commissioners don't have to buy services from NHS provider organisations. I think the current law even says that commissioners are not allowed to prefer one type of provider over another - they're not allowed to say they'd prefer to give the contract to an NHS provider over a private provider.

A lot of healthcare is paid for by the NHS, but provided by private providers. This is especially true when we look at specialist commissioning for mental health. There are a lot of low secure units, medium secure units, in-patient eating disorder units, etc that are provided by private companies.

The quality of care from these private orgs is often terrible.

The split between CCG commissioning and NHS England specialist commissioning means that it's very difficult to get the local system to understand or care about the poor quality of specialist commissioning.

Yes, 100%, it is illegal to cross the road unless you can be reasonable certain that doing so won't cause an accident.

Look at the perspective of the law maker. The goal is zero traffic accidents, the vision zero as it is called (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_Zero). If pedestrian think that they have a given right to cross the road then there is a risk that people won't apply common sense but rather just step out on the road without looking or thinking.

Similarly, the driver of the car is always guilty of negligence, regardless if the pedestrian is at fault. This include if the pedestrian walk against red. Just because the other party is also at fault does not diminish the obligations of the driver to not hit a pedestrian. Regardless of traffic light, the driver is not allowed to drive over the crossing unless they are reasonable certain to not cause a traffic incident.

In the extreme, if both driver and pedestrian wanted to be 100% guarantied to not cause an accident then both would simply stand still. In practice both hopefully act with common sense and work together to avoid an accident, which happens to align with the goal of those who wrote the law.

I used to cut my own hair quite a lot, to the point I got pretty decent at it, but I came to realise that I’d far rather pay someone else to do it.

On a practical level, they’ll always do a better job but more than that, it’s a nice ritual to go somewhere and have someone look after you. It becomes less of a chore and more of a timeout for yourself. Grab a coffee, go for a walk, get a haircut.

Usually these places are local and community based so it’s also nice to build up a rapport and get to know you barbers.
Only comment on the entire thread that makes sense.

It’s amazing that every comment seems to imply sinister motives to every action by every police officer, when the more obvious answer is that most police actually do their jobs well and there are circumstances they must deal with that commenters here are not privy to or want to perpetuate a narrative.

The same commenters of they met police or had friends who were police would think very differently. Police are dehumanized to the extent that people want to go out and attack them in the streets

I don’t think any officer goes out wanting to attack people and start fights. Look at videos of police. They stand in a line and have projectiles thrown at them and verbal abuse yelled at them. 90% of the time they have to stand there and do nothing. And if it gets too much they clear the protests.

The vast majority of society do not want to go yell at police in the street.

The biggest problem is takeovers of protests by anarchists and I don’t know the solution to this. If anarchists consistently escalate protests then it takes away people’s rights to protest. But I see this as a problem to be solved by protestors.

I think I don't understand that, but it seems massively wrong (e.g. my favourite book is called Essays) and I have no idea what you were trying to communicate. I can't see what exactly I'm supposed to do with the second sentence either. Sorry.
I see the benefit of standardizing some language across documentation, but I feel a lot of politically charged items were also taken out which ironically make some things harder to understand, as they are just so commonplace.

"This was denylisted" works perfectly fine. It's no different grammatically from "This was blacklisted;" the only difference is you aren't used to it yet.
Rust in the Linux kernel (Google security blog)
"The term man (from Proto-Germanic *mann- "person") and words derived from it can designate any or even all of the human race regardless of their sex or age." [1]

As with most things Google does this will set some kind of precedent that a non-trivial subset may follow on with. Where does this stop though? Human -> Huperson? What do we rename the `kill` command to? How will that affect scripts that use it? The result of that is to then have a shim to `kill` anyway so the net result is a tonne of stuff breaks and `kill` is still present?

I'm all for improving our use of language but a lot of these kinds of changes are virtue signals that don't enact any meaningful change at all [2][3]. There are lots of words taken out of context purposefully for instance, "my process is hung" has nothing to do with hanging of human beings.

That's not what the HODL gang has been telling me. Have fun staying poor, Mr. Armstrong.
The point is to remove the positive connotation for "white" and negative for "black." Nobody's implying your blacklist-turned-blocklist has anything to do with race.
I'd like to see the kernel figure this out automatically. If the last 100,000 files opened by grep were never accessed again, is it a good bet to cache the 100,001'st?

I think the solution is not to come up with clever heuristics, but to use a tiny neural net which predicts "how many hours till this page is accessed again?".

Train the net using a tiny sample of reads and writes.

Obviously the net needs to be really tiny to run on every single page read, but I believe even say a network with 50 weights would outperform today's heuristics.

WSB banned the discussion years ago because WSBs isn't a subreddit for crypto trading, but stock market trading. Another problem with crypto discussion on Reddit (at least historically) is that a lot of it has just been people trying to pump the price of some alt-coin and for this reason you'll find discussion about penny stocks also banned on a lot of investing / stock market subreddits too.

I'm sure they would allow posts about Riot Blockchain or MicroStrategy stock, but buying bitcoin on leverage isn't really a "Wall Street" bet.

So I once had an overweight, non-secondary client with a stuck process within the perimeter network. Initial coherence checks quickly foreshadowed that this would turn out to be quite an opaque-box thing to debug. Unfortunately, they had removed kill and killall for some reason.
It's a good list, mostly. It's just nearly impossible to memorize.

I also think sometimes about terms like whitelist and blacklist. The problem isn't that they refer to race. The problem is that "white" and "black" refer to race. White and black are basic colors, and assigning meaning to colors is natural and unavoidable. However "white people" aren't "white", and "black people" aren't "black".

So IMHO the focus should be on dropping racial connotations from colors. If we're fine with not calling Asians "yellow" and Native Americans "red", we should be fine with that too.

Imagine if we couldn't have yellow and red traffic lights, because it'd be offensive to a race.

2) Why are people on HN so pessimistic about everything ?

Fonts and typography are very often a side interest of hackers. They're certainly one of mine. There's just this weird realization that squiggles on paper or a screen translate so easily into meaning in our head; in fact, the creation of writing might be seen as some kind of hack of our brains. Also, there is a lot of technology and technique in how letters are designed and laid out on a page, all of which tickles my intellectual curiosity.

Okay, this page is mostly just a bit of fun. But there's seriousness behind it.
Sounds vaguely similar (but not identical?) to the UK's shared ownership scheme:

https://www.sharetobuy.com/guides-and-faqs/what-is-shared-ow...

"The purchaser pays a mortgage on the share they own, and pays rent to a housing association on the remaining share. [...] The purchaser has the option to increase their share during their time in the property via a process known as ‘staircasing’, and in most cases can staircase all the way to 100%."
Maybe the old ways of threathening and assassinations might motivate these judges to behave.

To be far these restrictions operate in a fairly narrow domain (Developer documentation) where some restrictions on idiomatic usage are probably warranted to maximise the number of people that can fully comprehend the docs (for example not all languages refer to adapters as 'male' or 'female' and the meaning may not be obvious to a non native speaker.)
