Groups have and are discriminated against. You assumed that 'we both know' this is about 'reverse discrimination' but I am not so quick to accept that, hence why I stated what I can agree with.

Why do I not accept that the attempt to classify things as 'hate speech' is about 'reverse' discrimination (i.e. I do not agree that this is something 'we both know')? Because this implies that it seeks to react to and target initial discrimination. But because it is subjective and open to abuse it can be used opportunistically against individuals who have done nothing to the other party (no initial discrimination to reverse). So, it is a label that can itself actively be applied in a discriminatory way.

Which are these 'obviously vulnerable groups' that you think 'it is obvious who they are'? Children - agreed. People with some disabilities - agreed. Some frail elderly people - agreed. Even with this set of groups, the degree of vulnerability will vary hugely. Are these the groups you refer to?
No. The state is a criminal racket, and you have no obligation to sponsor it (if something, you're morally obliged to try to avoid being a victim).

And this is not only because 99% of whatever you pay in tax doesn't come back in terms of services that actually have any value, but because it's rotten at its very foundations.

No wonder in the 20th century 8 million people were victims of murder by mundane crimes committed by private citizens worldwide, while 175 million were murdered by the state.

You only think this because you were brainwashed by statism ever since you were a kid.

Launching Launch Club
Hey everyone. My name is Max, founder of Growth Club. In 2020 we launched on AppSumo which is a more generic entrepreneurial community. SaaS founders loved it particularly but were asking to meet more of SaaS founders and to have a stricter selection process.

Hence we introduce LaunchClub for SaaS founders only! And now we are even stricter with the selection process, which means great 1-1 calls every week. Today LaunchClub, a video-call-based SaaS founder's club is featured on AppSumo !

I am really excited and grateful that AppSumo has picked us to be one of the few communities to be featured there. With AppSumo we are giving away 100-lifetime memberships to LaunchClub for just $49 instead of $459.

Have you just launched your SaaS business? Trying to get first clients and find product/market fit? Then this is for you! LaunchClub will arrange 1-on-1 meetings for you with fellow founders where you can get feedback on your project, exchange growth hacks, and build genuine connections!

With the AppSumo launch, we are recruiting 100 members to form the core of the community. We hope you join us all and see you on our video-call platform! Check us out on AppSumo here https://appsumo.com/products/marketplace-launchclub/. Appreciate any feedback, questions on AppSumo, and your support!
I spun up Mongo on a cloud VM a while back to assess viability/suitability, it was Meow'd within 30 seconds, absolutely insane.

I shut it down and moved on, we don't use Mongo to date.
It's a baffling idea that these are competing for the same market, but maybe ebpf is going new places?

When the Great Fire of London started in 1666 [0], it lasted 5 days non-stop, and consumed virtually all of the central part of London (mostly poor parts but not only). It was a huge effort to send belongings and people out of the city, save whatever could be saved and demolish the rest, for fire breaks. Surprisingly, death toll seems to be small (only 6 recorded deaths, though possibly undercounted, as mostly "poor people"'s town was burned), but an estimated 88% of the inner city was burned.

All the while this was happening, among the fire, the chaos of people fighting fire, people rushing away from the fire, or saving their belongings, there was a mob trying to lynch the presumed perpetrators. First it was the French and the Dutch immigrants, but throughout the saga, Poles, Jews, Catholics and other "aliens" were pursued. The presumed perpetrators changed without much rhyme or reason, merely according to whichever rumour was currently peaking, as the mob, and the fire, continued their steady march. All while the city was ablaze.

Interestingly enough, the cause of the fire is now known, and really should have been known at the time: it started from a small-ish fire at a bakery on Pudding Lane - a street that still exists, since central London was rebuilt on much the same street layout. It started small, but due to indecision wasn't tackled properly, grew a little, then grew a lot, then turned into an all-devouring beast that could not be stopped.

Some things don't really change.

Ask HN: How to secure a server from the time it boots?
With the recent incident of NewsBlur (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27613217), I was wondering how do you guys secure a server on the internet immediately after it boots. I usually do this:

1. terrafom to "create" the infrastructure. Basic security (ssh root login with keys). Servers are running nothing yet (no webserver, no databases, no nginx, etc.)

2. after everything has been created I use Ansible to provision the servers. Is in this moment when I apply all the "best practices" regarding security (remove root login, don't allow root password login, perhaps even change default ports, use a bastion host, setup passwords and certificates for internal servers, improve the firewall rules)

I don't run anything critical yet, but I wouldn't like to get compromised. Any suggestions or resources I can read so I can improve the security of my services?

Are we talking about the same Reddit that still runs three different versions of their website because the newest version is so bad that people refuse to use it? I'm not holding my breath.
> 1. Do you think it is appropriate that Mr. Jones be fired?

Sure. Not for originally misspeaking, but for intentionally harassing her afterwards.

> 2. Should the law hold him accountable?

Of course, just like the above.

> 3. Should Mr. Jones’ colleague be able to sue her employer if Mr. Jones is not fired?

This one's hard to say -- but only in the exact same way all “how responsible is an employer for the actions of an employee?” matters are. Which has nothing to do with whether the employee in your example was in the wrong, because he obviously was.

> 4. Should she be able to sue Mr. Jones?

Of course.

All in all: What a hilariously silly, contrived, and wrong-headed example. How could you not notice, while typing it in, that all it shows is how ludicrously wrong your position is?
I hope there's more than that. It will be disappointing otherwise.
> a former US president with a hold over an American politician party that has nearly 50% of the political power demanding

The weight of that argument really went down (discredited it if you ask me) in light of the other accusations a former US president made before, during, and after his term. But he did highlight this effect really well:

> And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.
It's a slippery slope tbh, you can end up suspicious of everyone, thinking everyone nice is actually a sociopath, when in fact there's nothing sinister under the surface.

Not to mention that people on the spectrum who are trying hard to show emotions appropriate to a situation end up seeming just as unsettling.
I think it's because people simply don't believe there are non-human build "ufo's" flying around out there. This leads to the military being the most likely source if locals can't explain.

There is a semantic shift taking place in the scientific community regarding the use of the prefix trans when referring to sex (physical anatomy) reassignment as a treatment in gender affirmative care.

Unfortunately, politics keeps interfering with the word choices of scientists.
I’ve been running and upgrading it for about four years now—so across about 11 different major versions. Prior to that I was actually on ownCloud and migrated straight from that to Nextcloud. Every upgrade or migration has taken like 5 minutes. I’ve yet to have a single problem and it’s required zero maintenance between upgrades. It’s actually one of the few pieces of software that I self host and don’t fear updating.

Many people have obviously had experiences different from yours given it’s popularity. Speaking in absolutes as you’ve done really isn’t helpful to anyone.
If you want to secure your on-premise MongoDB we publish a checklist here https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/administration/security-chec...

(I have misunderstood your comment, rewritten it).

I wrote about tipping the scales, not about primary cause. Yes hunter-gatherer societies might be freer for the creativity too, if there are the natural resources. But it also means very low population density and thus fewer people to exchange ideas with.
OK so let's have a thought experiment here. The only way to solve all these problems is to have just one browser. Because as soon as that number is greater than 1, there are going to be incompatibilities which will lead us to current state of affairs eventually.

Would like a world with just one browser? Which one would it be?

The illusion of openness can be more convincing in the case of the Internet. It isn't just a talking head telling you what to think on TV, it is a collection of curated and censored opinions from a simulated peer group.

>we are distributing the patch (vaccine) at glacial speeds (while our economies burn).

Be fair - the vaccine development and distribution program is by far the fastest in history and has wildly exceeded even the most optimistic predictions at the beginning of the pandemic.

Also, consider how long it took Amazon to build a global distribution system for things like books and cheap gifts. 10 years? Maybe more...

Now "hardware hardening" - what would that be in your analogy?
True, and also it's possible that they would be able to get leverage from their legs in a way that not everyone could. It's a tricky topic.
And this flawed argument could be applied for websites, a random website could have a form hat asks for your bank data so then Apple should protect grandma and whitelist websites and review all updates to those websites.

A honest implementation would have a "child/grandma" mode and let adults install/read/listen whatever political/porn or GPL shit they want. Make grandma mode the default , I am sure the marketing can make it sound cool and some competent engineers can implement it so grandma doesn't by mistake enter the adult mode.
Reminds me vaguely about another piece of open source software that I tried a few years ago; the Leo Editor.

Part of the driving philosophy of much of the left these days is collective (and hereditary) responsibility by race. So it's easy to see how, by projection, they would think that Trump saying it came out of the Chinese lab and calling it the "China virus" is blaming Chinese people as a whole.
When I containerized MongoDB, Docker helpfully inserted an allow rule into iptables, opening up MongoDB to the world.

This is crazy. Your network should have been on a private IP address space behind a firewall running static NAT exposing only ports 80 and 443 on a routable IP address. This is network architecture 101.

No, we haven't evolved to eat carb based diet, which happened somewhere in the past 10,000 years, which is a nothing in the evolution scale.

We added carbs into out diet, by our own choice. We are at all effect genetically identical to our pre-agriculture ancestors.

You must have compromised the binding to localhost in some way to allow this to happen as MongoDB only listens on localhost by default.

Plus mono diets like eating only rice or potato are effective at loosing weight.

What processed food brought is very unnatural combination of a lot of refined carbohydrates and a lot of fat especially in the form of polyunsaturated seed oils. Seed oil consumption in substantial quantities is relatively new thing (like 100 years). And even olive oil (with its rather low polyunsaturated fat content) was never staple food. In Ancient Greek literature, for example, there are more references to its usage as cosmetic or for lighting than for eating.
Without corruption from top to bottom you can get a lot done. Most bureaucracies and police forces in central america are rotten to the core, and then you have the gangs who take advantage of that. It's a really hard feedback loop to break out of. Costa Rica has managed to beat that.
Suppose your assets lost 70 percent of their value soon after the tax year ended. Now your net worth is 300k while your tax bill is 400k, and you can only slowly get the over-payment back by deducting it against your current taxes.

I've started with EasyEDA and stuck with it as it worked okay so unfortunately I can't help with a comparison. I've tried the autorouter and it worked (=didn't fail) for earlier prototypes when the board wasn't so packed, but it couldn't do it (was hanging indefinitely) for the current layout so I did it manually. It wasn't that painful... (:

Good luck with your project! (;
I had never heard of them before but the website is incredibly fast, I know my internet connection didn't just improve. If anyone can shed some light on how they're doing it. Try navigating around and even change the website language. It is incredibly fast.
That's just Google doing their usual best at designing UIs and documenting things. It's like watching your 5-year old do their best "helping" doing housework. Cute, but not actually very helpful.
No I mean trying to use BSD. You have to investigate what works and what does not.

I'm sure there is a reason to use BSD. For some it might be that they enjoy the experience. I'm just asking what makes it worthwhile?

I could list why I like using Linux over Windows for development. I'd love to hear what makes BSD the right choice for people.

This might come off sounding a little rough, but as someone who had one sibling die of overdose and another by suicide, I don't think teenagers are the best stewards of their own bodies or sanity. Sometimes allowing them to make their own decisions about who they're going to be friends with or what they're going to do with their bodies ends up losing a life. I can see how lives might be saved by being permissive to them having what they want, when they want it, but I've also seen lives lost that way. So I find the "save lives" argument a little disingenuous or misinformed.

An open conversation and a working plan for what they want to do later in life is a good thing. I'm not opposed to hormone therapy as an interim measure. But I'm opposed to catering to teenage whims that aren't thought through very well, or discussed well, or which are driven by a desire to be part of a popular group, because I've seen the results. Confusion and self-hate and self-destruction can happen as a result of not being able to express yourself, but they can also happen as a result of too much unrestrained emancipation for a teenager, who doesn't understand the consequences. I'm not even speaking about trans issues here, just about teenage decisions in general. They're not fully rational people. I wasn't, either.

I found cheap yet decent earbuds from Aliexpress and a cheap 3.5mm bluetooth receiver that solves the earbuds falling out of your ears problem. Every time I hear about issues people have with AirPods I'm so glad I went with this solution, and spent a fraction of the money too. If I pop the bluetooth receiver off the 3.5mm jack, I can use it with my (growing) iPod classic collection. The only reason I even use bluetooth at all is because my iPhone demands it.

There is a really interesting dynamic in political debate. I'm going to pick on Ivermectin as a COVID treatment, for example. There is official guidance on Ivermectin [0] that says "So, currently there is no clear information that confirms whether ivermectin works as a COVID-19 treatment."

So what is interesting is that there are then a large number of largely faceless/anonymous opinions that Ivermectin is obviously totally proven/totally disproven as a COVID treatment. Anyone discussing the evidence either way runs the risk of being censored.

But when the official position is taken, all the faceless opinions on the wrong side will vanish. If something like Ivermectin proved to be workable then anyone advocating for it will find this weird situation where they were right but no-one official ever argued with them and it is sorta mysterious where the pushback came from.

Ditto the reverse, where if it is disproven as a treatment then there will be a weird situation where it was only ever a tiny fringe of people who cared. This effect is very frustrating in political debates, but does in a sense incentivise people to be clear in their positions. Debating anonymous opinions doesn't actually help and is a trap a lot of people fall in to.

I heard a similar story from friends, and I bet you get high quality (organic and whatnot) ingredients for your home baking, while store-bought food is mostly full of pesticides, GMO, highly treated wheat which might explain why one makes you feel like crap and the other doesn't.

And that's not limited to wheat, but I reckon most commercially available fruits and vegetables are much worse than their counterparts grown organically in one's own garden. They certainly taste much worse.

Carnivore is much maligned still, but I bet the reason it works so well is that you avoid eating an unknown amount of chemicals that are routinely sprayed on unripe plant matter, which has to count for something.
I think US is great, and it didn't fail itself. I don't worry about developed world to be honest, they have the technology and resources to deal with this problem. US and Europe is so far ahead than anyone else in this field.

I believe many developing countries are lack of good decision makers, they blindly follow US and UK, without realizing that the reason behind US and UK's decision. Developing countries couldn't develop vaccines, not well equipped for medical support, and didn't have resources, they are not the same as US or UK.
