I do not in any way mean to disregard the suffering of those living with HIV, but let's face it: the HIV epidemic is getting under control. The virus was a death sentence for much of the 80s and 90s. Now (in developed countries) you can live a full life with it. I am not a virologist, but it is my impression that the experts see that virus, too, being beat down in the next couple of decades.

So while the HIV epidemic hasn't ended, we're winning. And it is likely to end.

This. What I recall from living in the city was regularly hearing my neighbors stomping and occasionally fighting, asking neighbors to keep their music down so my wife could sleep(she works night shift) and getting in a yelling match, and having to deal with a psychopathic apartment complex who didn't respect privacy at all and exploited every situation they could. I remember going for a jog and a wanna-be gangster on the sidewalk grabbing at his pants(like towards a gun) because he didn't know I was there.

American cities aren't pleasant.
I found that they completely butchered my favorite characters from the book series. Holden is way over the top macho and gets in "check out my ego" screaming matches with folks all the time, Bobby is at least emotionally a weak-willed little girl who lets herself get bossed around by everyone, and especially male authority figues. Etc. Their interpretation of the character gallery was really disappointing. The books' authors have made some really cool non-heteronormative and super competent characters, which is one of the many aspects of the series that I really enjoyed.

Does this get better in the latter seasons that were produced by Amazon?

In terms of space requirements, the situation is zero-sum in many places (or pretty close to it).

The buildings in a city (or other established area) are a set distance apart. What’s the split of what’s between them is what you’re deciding on and that often involves non-monetary tradeoffs.
Sometimes human livestock is cheaper than automation, especially when the value of life is cheapened.

As an example, slave societies don't have industrial revolutions because there's never a need to invest in labour-saving devices. Indeed, the Romans knew of water wheels and windmills but never used them much because you could just buy a few slaves. If slavery hadn't been introduced to Rome, who knows what alt-history would've emerged from the Roman engineering prowess.
So the "right side" is a communist dictatorship?
The Dutch law that in case of an accident the stronger party is always to blame always seemed pretty smart to me. Thus in case of an accident between a cyclist and a car, it's always the car. Does this still exist?

Generally drivers in the Netherlands seem much more careful, partly because of this, partly because they know what riding a bike in traffic is like.
Can you cite evidence this is the "current best estimate"?

The author of that study has been downplaying COVID since the start. Here's him last March:

https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/17/a-fiasco-in-the-making-a...

> If we assume that case fatality rate among individuals infected by SARS-CoV-2 is 0.3% in the general population — a mid-range guess from my Diamond Princess analysis — and that 1% of the U.S. population gets infected (about 3.3 million people), this would translate to about 10,000 deaths.

(We're at well over 500k now.)

His estimates last April from Santa Clara, California were wildly inaccurate as well.

https://www.wired.com/story/new-covid-19-antibody-study-resu...

> Skeptics have noted that the conclusions seem at odds with some basic math. In New York City, where more than 10,000 people, or about 0.1 percent of the population, have already died from Covid-19, this estimated fatality rate would mean nearly everyone in the city has already been infected.

And this:

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniemlee/ioannidis...

> And in May, Ioannidis presented a picture of the virus’s deadliness based on antibody study data from around the world, including his Stanford study. This preprint was roundly criticized for including groups of patients who don’t reflect the general public and, in earlier versions, omitting data from large groups with higher fatality rates, among other errors.
The GDPR applies regardless of where the company is, so long as the requester is an EU resident.
Don’t forget the 5 years of Japanese occupation sandwiched in there.
> This becomes even more important because even the basic mechanism is not studied for vaccinations long-term at all.

Analysis of blood markers predicts human lifespan limit
As of today, express has not received an update in two years
I'd argue that a lot of deadly accidents in the city are inattention and lack of suitable infrastructure - if you look at the statistics in Berlin for example, the common pattern for deadly accidents is (right-)turn crossing a cycle lane and crushing a cyclist. Still, dedicated right-turn lanes with a crossing cycling path are still built, traffic lights still allow right-turns while allowing straight through cycle traffic. Changes get made - if at all - after a deadly accident, sometimes it takes multiple. Suitable infrastructure is certainly not the only thing that's missing, but the current lack of it, combined with lackluster removal of parked vehicles on the bit that exists are a major driver or deadly incidents.

(Correct if my assumption is mistaken, I’m not 100% sure) If a channel is actively posting to migrate to another network, that isn’t appropriate. It’s like all facebook groups posting “Hey lets move to twitter now”.

At the end of the day, the “community” has spoken and looks to be moving over. I see so many negative posts on this thread against Andrew & Freenode, I can understand if they are upset and react in the way they have re banning such libera.chat messages.
This doesn't match my experience at all. I moved because I could afford a house in the suburbs, and the lower population density decreases chances of conflict.

You incorporate in the country in which you live 183 days per year (or more). It's simple.

If you live more than 183 days in country X, but you incorporate in country Y, you'll have a hard time explaning it to the tax authorities.
This example is particularly odd and illogical as it doesn’t not that crime statistics are by crime, not by criminal. So it singles out “rape statistics” as if they have a particular characteristics.

And of course misses what you brought up in that rapes are more knowable than rapists.
Well, that proves that the previous threads weren’t an overreaction.

People generally use IRC for public conversations, not for private ones.

IRC is a open protocol, has a ton of different clients for different needs, almost every big FOSS project has it's own IRC channel and it requires minimal resources to run (and if you really need to, the protocol itself is really easy to implement).

What's not to like with IRC? I'm surprised people are using Slack and Discord instead of IRC for development talk.
prawnsalad was a true neutral party that had no bad blood with either side, and a great contributor to IRC in general, as the leader of kiwiIRC and someone who contributes to IRCv3. On the other hand, who are you?

edit: Perhaps it is wrong of me to assume you are immediately discarding this evidence based on the message and thus my derisive tone is unwarranted here, but when I originally read your message the way it came off to me was "We're all moving to Libera.chat, and I really don't want to have to hear any dissent that maybe neither party should be trusted, so I'm just going to throw out suspicions without reading this." It's not like I personally know prawnsalad, but I am kind of flustered by this response because it feels so dismissive when it's clear many were happy to trust the Libera.chat owners at face value despite everything.

edit 2: I would feel too dishonest changing the wording after the fact but I apologize for the rudeness.

The article you quote contradicts your assertion:

> Despite this, the Netherlands is defended in the report. As cycling is a lot more common in the Netherlands compared to other countries, it stands to reason that more cycling fatalities occur. According to the report, the Netherlands is one of the safest places to cycle, with extensive cycling infrastructure networks.

note: dashcams (for cyclists) aren't legal (or at least legal gray area afaik) in my country for privacy reasons.
No, many of those channels were not already closed. #xmonad was still very much active on both sides as we were waiting for libera.chat staff to process our community registration, and there was just this tiny little mention at the _end_ of the topic that we're in the process of moving.

Still, freenode kicked us out anyway this morning. Luckily the Libera staff were able to process our registration quickly afterwards.
Asteroid mining, if it ever happens, won't be done by poor exploited people toiling under the sun with pickaxes. It will be very expensive, and most likely fully automated.

> If a channel is actively posting to migrate to another network, that isn’t appropriate. It’s like all facebook groups posting “Hey lets move to twitter now”.

Which, in the spirit of FOSS, should be ok. Going to https://freenode.net/ right now shows the tagline "freenode exists for FOSS" but limiting people from changing IRC server by blocking messages or changing topics feels very much against the spirit of FOSS.

> I see so many negative posts on this thread against Andrew & Freenode, I can understand if they are upset and react in the way they have re banning such libera.chat messages.

I think this is why many are moving away from Freenode as well. You don't want a supposedly impartial network to start banning users and channels left and right because they get upset. You want to have a stable network for your projects channel, and right now it seems Libera is a much better place for just that.
If they would want to remove "zombie channels" after 6 months or so, that would make sense, but doing this while they still have a function (informing people about the move) is simply against the stated purpose of the Freenode IRC network (= supporting open projects).
There is a gradient of right and wrong. Most (realistically all) successful countries are on the wrong side of it.

I mean, look at the path the Europeans took to get to the modern era. Short periods of it, like the last 2000 years, have involved questionable acts.

Interesting tidbit: the hash they have for the infringed work it's the correct hash for ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso [0] - this removes any good faith argument on their part.

There is an infinitely small chance of collisions - but I would like them to produce a DMCA notice with the actual name of the infringed upon protected media, not just the hash.

I believe Canonical should step in, since this is someone claiming to act to protect their interests.

[0] https://torrent.ubuntu.com/tracker_index

Edit: searching for the hash returns two odd links; the first one is indexed by Google as a link to a software - Rebirth - that comes under the same hash as Ubuntu [1]; the other is the usual Lumen link for removed content [2] -- a DMCA notice from Disney.

Could this be a case of "automated DMCA notice" gone wrong?

In the UK, cyclists are responsible for between 2 and 3 pedestrian deaths each year. The total number of people killed on UK roads in the year to June 2020 was 1580 (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...). This suggests that motorists directly kill about as many people in a morning as cyclists do in a year, and that's ignoring deaths caused by pollution.

It's incredible how fast the whole transition is happening. I'm really grateful to the Libera Chat team for creating a space for the communities to move to. Amazing job!
This should have happened years ago.

At the begging you had proprietary docking stations with power delivery and multi display support.
Then they got rid of that and went all in on usb-c docking station that suck (doesn't support multi display, limited charging) then came thunderbolt but that still had power limitation for up to 100w.

Most gaming laptops/desktop replacements need more than 100w so you need a docking station and another power brick just for charging, it's a mess.
Who runs Freenode and how it was managed was never really 100% clear, until now. On the other side, this is Libera:

> Libera Chat is a Swedish nonprofit organisation, feel free to read our bylaws. The organisation is run entirely by volunteer staff who are the members of, and have equal voting power in, the organisation. Libera Chat’s purpose is to provide services such as a community platform for free open-source software and peer directed projects on a volunteer basis.

You can see the bylaws here: https://libera.chat/bylaws

So, as a common FOSS organization, Libera is governed by a non-profit instead of owned by a corporation. That step feels like a pretty good stopgap from enabling the same thing to happen again.
This controversy has got me back on IRC. It feels good to be sitting in chatrooms and occasionally able to pitch in and help people. And the interface is better than Slack. :-)
I’m old enough to remember when only motorcycles commonly had headlights on during the day. They were quite a bit more noticeable then than today as a result.

Same with only cop cars having third (or third and forth) brake lights. You paid attention and noticed them.
That's very interesting to hear. Not least because Steam hosts your multiplayer sessions for any game now, so it could potentially be very seamless. There is so much potential here! I hope they work hard on their voice chat feature too, and get everything right from the start. And finally, Linux, using Vulcan I assume!

I would add a continued reduction in supply. In AZ, SFR REITs have and continue to vacuum up 1,000s of homes every year. And they don’t ever sell them. This is a new phenomenon. It may more than offset new development. We may have a shrinking supply. The other downside is they aggressively put upward pressure on rents.
Overall pretty great points. I have been inside a Fortune 100 company that had a totally backward Data Science team that was running to crazy levels of complexity with no known goal in sight.

One thing that is worth pointing out is that the deficiency in identifying goals before running after impressive technological complexity as a status symbol is not restricted to just Data Science. I see it all the time with technologies like "Bluetooth". Let's put Bluetooth in everything. We don't know why but it seems impressive so let's just do it.

> Torture and death sentences are still present, but I would not say widespread

Also in the US that you seem to defend...
Freenode was “acquired” a while back, people were looking on it dubiously.

Then last week (or the week before) volunteer staff resigned en masse saying that the new owners were planning on taking control of the project’s direction. A number of projects using freenode for chat started looking at alternative just in case.

As GP notes, this looking around was done in the heat of all the resignation, but was not necessarily a done deal for all projects, after all nothing has changed yet.

Today, freenode highjacked / locked hundreds of channels mentioning libera (the alternative network set up by some of the resigning staff) out of nowhere, proving that the network most definitely could not be trusted anymore.

I would say: it's not relevant for senior engineers anymore.

- you know what the book praises (and that's good), so it's not useful to you (or your peers) anymore: good variable names, functions should do one thing, hide internal structures, etc., you name it. We all know that and we practice it without effort. To be honest, most engineers with more than 5 or so years of experience know all these "rules" already
