Referring to Zaporozhian Cossacks as Russian is quite a stretch, and sure to upset Ukrainians. Cossacks generally are a part of Russian-Ukrainian history, but this group has typically been considered Ukrainian, based on their geography and ultimate integration into Ukraine.

In truth, the Zaporozhian Cossacks were their own people, to classify them as strictly Russian or Ukrainian somewhat erases their culture and history.

The only reason why I took up CS in my majors was 'because' it changes fast. Cuz then this was the only job role where nobody could ever condescend to me that 'ye're just a kid!' Unlike a classical engineering branch, say in Mechanical or Electrical where the last major development happened in 1845. Because everybody is a kid their whole lives in the CS world.
Not to get into the other details but I’m finally getting over my fear of admitting I don’t read. Here’s what I’ve realized:

I’m always reading all of the time [zizek.gif]. I’m reading code, documentation, release notes, emails and texts… from the moment I wake til I sleep.

Put an interesting book in front of me and, well, I’m interested but getting my brain into a place where it can take in new reading sources is like getting my body in a place to take up running right after walking my dog. Not gonna happen.

And I’m not ashamed of it.
Hating someone and treating them "equally and professionally" is indeed the epitome of tolerance. However, I think your examples do a good job of illustrating the limitations of tolerance, perhaps inadvertently.

First, a world where most store owners hate me but serve me and most of my coworkers think I shouldn't be there but keep quiet about it is, bluntly speaking, a shitty world. Obviously, that world is better than one where people are outspoken about their bigotry, but I would strongly prefer a world of widespread acceptance.

Practically speaking, someone who "hates gays passionately" or thinks that "women should not be in the workspace" will probably treat their gay customers or female colleagues worse, even if they are trying to be tolerant.

Finally, I'd like to emphasize that these situations aren't academic to me. I'm fortunate in that I don't regularly experience homophobia in stores or misogyny at work but they're a real risk I face.

That was addressed in my comment (the one you're responding to) with this link: https://brave.com/referral-codes-in-suggested-sites/.

Briefly, we added a way for users to support Brave without having to make financial contributions. They could simply opt to use one of our affiliate codes for a few poplar sites/services.

We added a feature to Brave which responded to user search input, and offered affiliate links for relevant results. You can see a screenshot of what that looked like at https://brave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/image3.png. This didn't involve any user data, didn't rewrite links on pages, didn't redirect network requests, or touch the area of privacy/security in any way. Seemed like a good idea :)

When the feature actually launched, users quickly realized that the logic was handling fully qualified URLs in additional to search input. You can see a screenshot of that at https://brave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/image2-1.png. This was the mistake that needed to be corrected.

I hope that helps clarify things a little. Again, there was no impact to user data or privacy, and Brave made $0 on this feature. Thankfully, our community is attentive, and yields prompt feedback when mistakes are made. Fortunately we were able to resolve the issue quickly and get a fix out to users.

As a general, open question:

How do we distinguish self-censorship (justifiably bad connotations and all) from "Choosing to not say things that would piss people off for no gain?"

The latter just seems like prudent behavior when one lives in a society, because one's words have material impact on other people's mental state. Unmeasured words wide-cast can easily do more harm than good.
I like this, although with paper ballots it would mean counting (up to) N times as many pieces of paper, which would be (up to) N times slower/more expensive.
There hasn't been a quantum leap forward, but I think/hope we've got gradually better at programming. Certainly compiler development is a lot more active now.
Fair enough; I can respect that :)

> And not only do you need to do your research on these many candidates, but there are similar lists of more than 2 candidates for Borough President, Comptroller, etc.

Can you say how many such choices "etcetera" was eliding here? And if possible if there were roles where you had no idea about any of the candidates beyond stuff like incumbency ? I can see New York City is too big to make just having a Mayor on the ballot enough to properly establish democratically elected local government, but in general it seems Americans elect way too many roles.
In other words, workers are alienated from the products of their labor, and are aware that the surplus value (profit) of their labor is being taken from them but aren't able to stop it (individually).
Critical Race Theory as I have read about it being applied in schools teaches youth that they are inherently racist (note this is only taught to the white children) and that the minorities get to share their anecdotal, lived experience while the white students stand by and are not permitted to say anything.

I find the entire formula to be a groundwork for severe social damage. It certainly does not build bridges. Nor does it pave the way towards compassion and understanding.
Plurality voting systems lacking runoff elections lead to two-party states. Maurice Duverger pointed this out in 1964.

The Convention of States is a campaign by the Tea Party movement to form an Article V convention, but they are more likely to present a balanced budget amendment, not electoral reform. Key people involved like Jim DeMint have also advocated for a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage—a pretty silly idea if you ask me.
I read your comment, including the "have a nice day." However, You don't get to dictate my actions, including what I decide is a good use of my time, or how I behave in a public forum.

The Basilisk's tangible threat to the person in the past also relies upon the notion that a perfect simulation of you is indistinguishable from you (or can be used as a bargaining chip to regulate your actions in the present), which is a hypothesis that rests on very shaky ground.

The easiest way to escape the Basilisk's control is to say "Future simulation of me? Screw that guy; he sucks and gets whatever's coming to him."

Another unpopular opinion (that I don't strongly hold but often think about) - but isn't a little voter friction a good thing? Voting friction (a little, not a lot) acts like a filter. It filters for voters who want to participate in democracy and make an effort to do so. In other words, I question the assumption that the more frictionless the voting, the healthier the democracy.

For example, if commenting on a website were truly frictionless (i.e. anonymous users could post without an account), the quality of the discussion would go to pot and the signal-to-noise ratio would dramatically deteriorate. A small barrier to entry (sign-in required) increases the quality/signal-to-noise by a large factor even if it "disenfranchises" some people that would have otherwise commented but couldn't because they didn't have time to create an account.

In that same vein, I think that if you make voting too easy you'll increase "noise" of the ballots, since lots of people that otherwise wouldn't have voted are now submitting low-effort ballots with essentially random bubbles filled in (other than perhaps the most prominent candidate). If it's not unreasonable to require users of websites to create an account before they can participate, why is it unreasonable to essentially require the same thing before contributing to the government of a nation?
How much $ in BAT are you making a month?
I've stuck with DDG for about the past year and a half and I have to agree. I want it to be good, but when debugging some obscure problem (like trying to learn SwiftUI lately) Google is able to dig up more result. Of course the "there were not results for <your error message> so displaying results for 'computer programming instead'" is frustrating so I preemtively add quotes around every term more frequently.

Lately I've noticed a weird problem with DDG where it will load a blank page of results. The page header with logo and search bar is there, but the white part of the page that has results never loads. Even after refreshing multiple times it's the same, but trying a different query fixes it.

If Brave can manage to produce higher quality results while weeding out SEO spam I will definitely subscribe.

I'm not sure why you are phrasing it this way. Voters don't pick a party for their House representative, they pick a candidate. Each House district election is independent of all the others.
Search the word “porn”. 20 results? The results I want might be on the 2nd page or further.

I’m willing to concede maybe I’m an outlier in behavior but I definitely want more than 20 results perhaps 33% of my searches.

I wonder if cliqz did any studies on this before deciding on 20 fixed results.

It also conveniently allows them to avoid the issue of paging search results.

I don't think you can say that. A quick Google shows some random school district in Pittsburgh says pass rates by the end of 9th grade were around 60% [1] and this percentage only went up around 20% for the "Gifted" track students. You also see that Asians started scoring substantially higher than average in later years, which if you believe that all races have the same IQ distribution as I do, must mean that IQ doesn't matter that much for passing algebra.

Much more likely is that learning software engineering requires dedication and perseverance over a long period of time. If your code doesn't work or you don't understand the math, you get 0%, not 70% like you would in a history essay or English essay. You can't wing it. The average person doesn't give enough shits about school or learning to achieve any level of mastery. I strongly believe it's a motivational problem. Asian parents force their kids to achieve academic excellence which is why Asians are so overrepresented in software engineering and other STEM fields.

There are many disadvantages/advantages that various groups face/possess. It is ideological which ones we choose to elevate.

Genes for height, genes for fast twitch muscles, testosterone, etc… aren’t the same for different groups. Some of these disadvantages are just as insurmountable.

Many sports are closed to poor people. Equestrian, sailing, etc… aren’t sports for the poor.

Richer countries often have better technology (see those Nike shoes and the swimsuits that were banned).

We are just in the land of competing interests.
I'm defending the model, but not that particular iteration of the UI/UX. People weren't donating their own money at the time either; they were effectively telling Brave who they'd like to support. Brave would then take Brave's BAT tokens (which we set aside for this purpose), and marked them for that creator (we would then engage in outreach efforts).

Let’s be honest, it’s hard enough getting Americans to the ballot on Election Day, we don’t need to introduce more complexity.

Ranking requires far less brain power than a rating system would.

Maybe the energy expenditure between the two is small for the HN group but for the general public, the aversion to doing the mental work would be enough to dramatically reduce turnout.

This goes for all countries, not just America.

Not to mention how easy it is to spread lies for something as simplistic as FPTP. The more complicated a system is, the easier it’ll be to spread lies about it.

That seems like it introduces more problems than it solves; genetic essentialism as a solution to debates about gender tends to be an approach that nobody agrees with. Now you still have the same concerns about people using hormones, plus:

- intersex people whose phenotype and genotype don’t match (putting them in the “wrong” category)

- chimeric people who belong in different categories depending on which part of their body you sample

- probably other edge cases I’m not thinking of.

If your goal is just to put people into categories, it’s probably a lot less controversial to split them based on if their earlobe is attached and whether they can curl their tongue.
The whole Olympic roster for the US is ~500 people. There's half a million people who are current NCAA athletes, that's an order of magnitude off right there, even after excluding football and before counting in the actual pros.
> "And the most absurd manifestation is the rise of “geek culture” – of people who devote enormous amounts of time and energy to learning and thinking about the minutiae of fictional universes from movies, comics, and games, or who obsess over the work and personal lives of favorite actors, musicians, bands, etc. My point, as longtime readers know, is by no means to disparage such things per se. But for many people today, such trivial pursuits have gone well beyond a point that is spiritually healthy, and have become a kind of substitute religion."

Can't say I find this very convincing. People may find joy out of obsessing over "the work and personal lives of favorite actors, musicians, bands, etc." Or it may allow them to connect with it in new ways. Feser says he doesn't want to disparage this, but it isn't "spiritually healthy." Whatever that means.

I don't think that's true at all. I agree that I picked a particularly extreme example to make the issue clear, but fundamentally IRV is a statement that the compromise we choose must be the first choice of a large portion of the population. I think that is a bad strategy, and situations where it picks poorly won't be uncommon.

what's the intuition for why that might be desirable? I can sort of see that you might care to consider the relation between a given row and other rows (not disimilar to something like kernel methods) and then you can use something like Deep Sets[1] to featurize the data?

Reminder that I was not the one who passed up the opportunity to reply to 'einpoklum with a simple "iterators can behave like pointers, but vector's iterators don't have to be pointers. You can see this here: https://godbolt.org/z/Y5f4d74Kb". I'm just annoyed that you went after this person for coming to an incorrect conclusion from what is clearly a correct position, which is that iterators were intended to "morally" be pointers, especially in cases where they iterate over contiguous containers. You are correct that I claimed that vector iterators must behave identically to pointers, but I really meant to say that this is only in cases where the iterator has behavior defined on it: I alluded to it previously when I mentioned that GCC and Clang wrap pointers in their own custom iterator classes to prevent people from accidentally using operations on them that are not legal. There's a bunch of other things that the iterator doesn't guarantee, like being directly casted to an integer.

But, stepping back a bit: do you really disagree with a claim that a vector iterator is meant to be a little pointer into the internal buffer it has, with a bit of additional restrictions on top that are reasonable to add? This seems to be a very strange thing to disagree with, and I would like to hear more about why you hold that position.

We had a ranked ballot election here in Canada and it was amazing! Candidates when out knocking on doors could say, "I might not get your first choice but help me understand what I could do to be your second choice." It was a less divisive election and there were new young candidates were on the ballot that wouldn't have run under the old first-past-the-post system. There is less incentive for attack campaigns in these types of elections.
