people have been programmed, on a massive scale, to react emotionally to certain learned key phrases and terms. when this automatic emotional reaction occurs, all logical processing ceases immediately, and the person you're talking to either immediately leaves the conversation (if you're lucky) or starts emotionally, verbally attacking you as though your non-conforming line of thought is a pathogen and their overreacting response is an antibody swarm. you're a strawman caricature of everything evil and wrong if you question basic learned political orthodoxy, even if you make it clear you're approaching the topic with an open mind.

TV and social media "debates" between politicians are 100% posturing, signaling, and rhetoric without any substance, and almost nobody can see it, everyone thinks their guy won.

it's as though we've forgotten how to think for ourselves and have opinions and stances that lay outside dogmatic groupthink. I even know a few people who think of themselves as "free thinkers" who nevertheless hitch their proverbial cart to some political eceleb personality's proverbial horse, buying into everything they say, wholesale.

people want to be told what to think, not how to think, as it's much easier that way.
Factorio will not help you develop skills to deal with procrastination. A source of procrastination is doing things only based on how urgent they are, not how important. So you do urgent, non-important tasks and drop the ball on non-urgent, important tasks. Playing a video game that streams urgent, non-important tasks at you will not help.

Things that have worked for me:

1. Spending 30 minutes most days on whatever my oldest tasks are, regardless of how important. I just go with the oldest first.

2. Meeting a project manager for 30 minutes each week to talk about what's going on in my life. [0]

3. Quitting video games. (Civ 5, really).

4. In the morning, I throw on some clothes, go for a five minute walk, and then work for 2 hours on my core work (for me, coding).

[0] If you hire a life coach to do this in the US to do this in the US it's very pricey. And I tend to dislike the type of person who wants to be a life coach. A PM in Latin America is much cheaper.

I’m assuming Intel processors even at the scale Apple buy them go for $50-100 of the retail price, maybe more? I’m guessing whatever they’re paying Intel it’s fractions on the dollar producing them through TSMC.

> Not only is there widespread assumption of racism being the motivation

Well, is there?? Everybody I seem to interact with doesn't think so. Where are all those bogeymen chanting racism right away? Surely you can quote some sort of survey to back up your perception, right?
Time differences like this are insignificant.
Yes, your point? That's never stopped them before!
Ask HN: Dealing with User-Uploaded Images on Our Site?
For those of your running sites where users can upload images, how do you deal with preventing spam and offensive content?

I'm also wondering how to deal with all the regulations surrounding this: legal liability for copyrighted content uploaded by users in Europe (where our team is based), DMCA takedown notices in the US, or the site becoming a distribution channel for adult content.

Are there any automated solutions for content moderation that a small team can employ? Or do we basically hire people to moderate all user uploaded images?

Great paper, lots of it got blended into our tech at https://build.security
To be honest I don’t pay for expensive parts, I don’t really care if they cost $100. Instead I pay for a final product that can last me more than 2 years without becoming crap. I bought my first iPhone 4 years ago, today it works like the first day (I only had to replace the battery a few months ago). I never experienced that from any Android, I’m not saying there aren’t good quality Android phones out there, but I never found it and I got tired of not finding it. If another brand can give me that same reliability and for less money I’ll happily and quickly switch.
Ah, thanks for the clarification, that makes sense. I was jumping to the assumption that the manufacturer was malicious from day one.
Perhaps one could flippantly say that, from a certain management level on, "it's sales all the way up" ;)

Good point - I've seen that too, but most of those kids moved on to playing Minecraft on Xbox and only use mobile devices if they have to (ie, aren't home)
For someone who seems to have been around the scene for quite a while, you come off as woefully uneducated on the history of electronic music.

Electronic music is and has always been an international phenomenon. Innovations happen due to cross-pollination of styles, not because specifically white Europeans "mature" it.

The Techno that blew up in Europe was initially imported from African Americans. Jungle/DNB was born out of mixing UK Hardcore with Jamaican Reggae/Dancehall/Dub music.

Footwork, Club, Bounce, Industrial, House, Electro, to name a few, are all styles that were prevalent on dancefloors in the US during the time you characterize it as "all about stale rehashes of guitar-based genres". All of these styles are woven into the DNA of the new underground generation. Nobody "owns" electronic music, and the scene is so much better when people stop claiming that anyone does.
That's an interesting thought. What would happen in court if you went with that? "The license said to only install if you accept the license, but since I reject the license, I'm not bound by its contents, so I installed even though I didn't accept it".

IME more "mechanical" means definitely promote code familiarity. For some languages I use vim as my primary editor -- generally anything frontend. OTOH, at least for me, I'm definitely a lot slower with pure vim when working with java. I use intellij for that. However, i use IdeaVim to get the vim key bindings, so 80% of the time I'm actually still using my IDE very similarly to how I use vim, so I think your point regarding "mechanical" means still holds. My biggest complaint is mainly that I wish I could access more of my IDE's features with just vim key bindings.

Sometimes when I'm really and truly stuck, I will open up a java file in vim. In those situations, the forced slow-down is actually an advantage, and I get a much deeper understanding of what I'm looking at. I can't code well this way (perhaps that's on me), but it can be a powerful aid in debugging at times.

I think we just got the simple version and that in reality, there are hundreds of pages detailing as many points of contracts, agreements and precedents.

But generally, publishing to consoles is a more involved process for both parties, and game consoles are not expected to be open platforms. So I guess the business model of console manufacturers is more tightly tied to publishing contracts.
I wasn't aware that there was an Xbox store for PC. Is this a rebrand of the Windows Store that never caught on, or something separate?
Wouldn't you end up confounding a lot of different issues with that? Lifestyles and medicine has radically changed a fair bit in the last century, and so you'd end up with a bunch of confounding factors.
No, those are crypto concepts.

The real problem is the lack of proportions around "viewpoint diversity". A flat earther, a neo-Nazi, an anarchist, a conspiracy theorist have all different viewpoints. But we can't ask people to stop referring to the Earth as flat not to offend flat-Earthers.

And, particularly from the leftwing there is a phenomenon where if you as much as disagree to some minor policy point you become the enemy of the people the same as Hitler.

There is no solution to this conflict, since the very principles that encourage tolerance towards different views is an ideology in itself so you should tolerate that people can be intolerant.

I believe workplaces should just make it clear that the most important thing is to produce good work (a reasonable demand since they pay you) and that any political view should be acceptable if you do your job

> It's meaningless to be for or against free speech in some binary sense. What you can have is an opinion about the mapping from speech to consequences. You might think that speech should map to lighter consequences than it does at the moment across all speech, or to heavier consequences, for for some kinds of speech to be lighter and some heavier.

I think this is a very good way of putting things. However, when it comes to answering the question, there's two ways of thinking about it -- how do I map other's speech to consequences with my actions (i.e morally) and how does the government map speech to consequences (i.e legally). I think only this second way of thinking is where the "right to free speech" comes in.

The view that I'm advocating is that I want the government to support a relatively strong version of free speech (i.e you should be able to say what you want without fear of being persecuted by the government, bar a few exceptions), but my personal map of speech to consequences is for me to decide. This means, for example, that I may choose to stop supporting a particular business because of something one of their employees have said, and may even shout about it on Twitter, but doing so wouldn't be an infringement of their right to free speech (it may be morally questionable).
> This happens in swimming because of the tolerance of making an olympic spec pool. A good swimmer goes a bit over 2mm every 0.001s. The pools have 3cm tolerance meaning the lanes are not the exact same length (it would be crazy expensive to make pools to smaller tolerances).

It would be crazy expensive to make the pools to such a small tolerance, perhaps, but it is not the length of the pool that actually counts, is it? It is the distance to the touch pad that counts.

Would it be crazy expensive to make the touch pad mounting system adjustable so that the position of each lane's pad could be adjusted to millimeter or even sub-millimeter tolerances?
So, maybe I'm overthinking. Those two sentences read as if personal liberty is important, but LGBT marriage somehow impact others' personal freedoms. This is based on my knowledge that conservatives tend to be anti-lgbt marriage rights.

Maybe it's the grouping of conservatives and libertarians together. Maybe that's where my head gets lost.
Humans as a whole have never had net positive impact on the environment either. Responsible deep-sea mining, with oversight and regulations in place should be allowed. Until we can determine the impact, I don't see why it should be banned outright.
I changed the title slightly because the original article title was kind of clunky and potentially unclear.

"21.1% more likely" is how articles phrase a 21.1% increase in observed frequency.

"Sales increased 21.1%" is equivalent as long as the unit price remained the same.

Well the article you cited has a really important piece: the British simply blocked Egpytian and Ottoman empire imports. They had tremendous control over the seas and Egypt was virtually a colony of the British.

Preventing IP from reaching Egypt was a big deal. The US had to pirate a lot of intellectual property from the British in order to develop their industry.

In a year when Geico is giving their customers an across the board rebate on their premiums because driving miles are down so much, and driving accidents are the third or fourth leading cause of death in a non-pandemic year, I think we'd need to adjust downward the baseline. I wonder if these calculations take that into account?
I doubt the entire US became sharply more obese in the past year, though, so much so that it also died from it.

> Search Google for the Right to Protest legislation

There is nothing in there as far as i can see specifically targeting leftist protestors, it seem to be written for any kind of protests, even non political. Are only leftist protests in the UK noisy, violent and disruptive?

>Go read the stories about JKRowling and others view on trans people, and the editorials about it

As far as I know she considers herself a feminist and a liberal and has actively supported feminist causes. I don't know what she has to do with the conservatives and I don't know which rights she is taking away from trans people or how can she even do that.

>Not only is there widespread assumption of racism being the motivation (despite little or no evidence of that)

It's hard to say what all the issues of individual motivation are in every case, but there is evidence that racism plays a factor. [0] It may not be because of overt racism, the officers involved don't have to attend klan rallies for other racially biased policies like redlining to have a broad effect on policing.

>Want to discuss the practical benefits of being cooperative during a police encounter?

The reason you're getting dismissed here is because this is missing the point. People in a state of confusion or crisis sometimes don't have the option of being cooperative with the police. That shouldn't be cause to get you shot and killed by a police officer inside your own house with no due process, which currently you have an increased risk of that happening to you if you're of a certain race.

(I consider upvoting or downvoting such comments a stupid game, especially as far as opinions are concerned - if the number of people shouting "I disagree" is larger than "I agree", you'll just get greyed out.)

Having played Factorio, I partly share your sentiment. All in, it's just a creative game that can teach you forward thinking in a way different than, say, chess. And you can spend your time in a way that gives you more satisfaction and benefit.

However, there are some aspects of Factiorio that make it stand out. I'd say that it is unique in the sense of teaching how to scale whatever you do taking into account limited resources. The particular skills learned might not be easily transferable to the other areas of your life, but the general principles (of assessment, planning, paying attention to what you have and what you can have, the importance of quick adjustments to changing circumstances) are.

Seeing the discussion here, I'm feeling that the good parts of UML has not found favour with many people: the Harel Statecharts, they were semantically rich and could easily describe complex behaviour. Infact they are better than Sequence diagrams to specify which sequences are legal and which are not valid.

I don't see any post-UML method that provides the same expressivity as Statecharts for that purpose.
>Mining never had any kind of net positive impact on the environment.

The environment would be in much worse shape if industrialization had been fueled with wood rather than coal.

Poisoning a few watersheds in Asia for lithium and cobalt is far preferable to continued oil and coal extraction which would poison orders of magnitude more

There's no good, just less bad and we don't know if undefined impact sea mining is less bad or more bad than the status quo.

I'm inclined to think it's probably worse per amount of material moved than conventional mining but I suspect there may be a few niches where productivity per amount of material moved is sufficiently greater to have a lesser overall impact.
> So is it OK if a mob (not a legal or govermnet entity) stomped on you and beat you to a bloody pulp?

No - legally and morally, this is not OK.

> If a church (not a legal entity) asked its members to spit on your face and abuse you on the internet?

Morally, I'd say this was wrong, but legally, I think they would be within their rights. But equally, if I were to respond by encouraging my friends to protest outside the church, I wouldn't be violating their right to freedom of speech.

> If you were immediately fired?

This would depend on the country and my contract, but I'd hope that immediate dismissal would be a violation of my labour rights - not my right to free speech.
I think you'll find most grassroots conservatives agree with you on this. And so do most right wing commentators. It is only the government that is pushing this and it's crazy.
This is kind of silly. Neural networks are universal function approximators, meaning any function "is" (more accurately, "can be represented by") a neural network. In the DFT case, it is a linear function so we could get an exact representation. Though there is also nothing stopping you from just saying, f(x) is a neural network, because I can choose my activation function to be f.
