>consider whether you would welcome that blockade, destabilization
and bombs if they were falling on your roof and possibly killing your loved ones.

First of all I didn't speak about bombs falling on the heads of civilians because only heartless crazy individual would recommend that.

>Before claiming a country must be blockaded, starved and bombed into submission "for its own good"

Second I didn't speak about starving either.

But certain blockade and destabilization of oppressive regime is more then welcome because such regime should fall.

I never understood why everybody would be in favor of stopping some killer but if that killer or group of killers put some funny clothes and call themselves 'country' everybody kind of ok with them having millions of hostages.

>Don't recommend that others endure that which you and your loved ones are not willing to endure.

I was in Crimea already occupied by Russia during electricity blockade. Was I happy? I have suffered from it but I was welcoming it with both hands. Unfortunately it was not enough to return freedom and rights to Crimea and people living there so I would welcome something that would.

>Please! No more of this line of reasoning, it has caused suffering and damage time and time again.

Since I lived in the ussr and saw this evil empire with my own eyes you will see nothing but exactly this line of reasoning from me.

I cannot understand why ussr was allowed to exist for so long. Why people of the free world were closing their eyes to the crimes of this regime. Why it was not suffocated sooner.

I cannot understand why today people of the free world are ok with turtures in the middle of the Europe. I am talking about Belarus dictator where real people have spoken loudly what the want. Why real help didn't come to them? Why military help didn't come to Ukraine when Russia have occupied Crimea and later on two regions. Why it didn't come to democratic Georgia when Russia attacked them?

I cannot understand why Ukraine's young democracy is not in NATO or under full protection of NATO. I do not understand why free world doesn't stop Russia attacking their neigbours and taking away rights and freedoms of people.

I cannot understand why regimes like in Russia, North Korea, Iran and so on are allowed to exist at all and why they are allowed to torture people under their control and perhaps I never will. So Please! Don't even ask.
In the era when system research is dying [1], the only saving graces are the Nix/Guix for OS management improvement and perhaps eBPF for OS performance enhancement. The Winix OS is a breath of fresh air in term of potential OS directions.

Like they have always said, timing is everything and probably this is the project similar to Apple's Newton project that have many goods in it but just born several years too early.

Winix targets RISC architecture and with RISC-V taking off exponentially at the very moment, having RISC biased OS will definitely provide edges and advantages for the platform, similar to x86 quirks to Linux, and Linux taking advantages when x86-32 and x86-64 took off.

This year when Linus was asked for the best Linux achievement compared to other OS, Linus has pointed out the innovative Linux based lock-free filesystem [2]. Winix has built-in innovative POSIX compatible in-memory file-system (IMFS) by default. Imagine an OS with IMFS that's also natively compatible with the increasingly popular Arrow and TileDB in-memory format. With Terabyte (TB) RAM computers becoming the norm in the near future this can easily be the fastest OS with the state-of-the-art filesystem around. Fuschia is another latest OS on-the-block but by focusing on the mobile rather than desktop it will probably optimized for the former, unlike Winix.

This feels like a narrative in need of hard evidence. I was there at what I assume was the tail end of this in 1997. My gut was cheating was no worse then it had been, but they had automated systems for the first time.

Some of it was so silly that I was accused of cheating in the C course for using and citing the hashtable implementation from the assigned textbook. On just talking to the graders and professor, they dropped it and were amused that anyone used the book.

For the other sciences, they would shake up the rules on how to capitalize figures. Idea being that cheaters would use last year's rules. Or, lazy people would just not pay attention..
I just generally have tremendous respect for someone who even attempts to build an OS from scratch. You kept at it and didn't give up. Great work.
This applies beyond introductory programming. We faced this in our university's Machine Learning course. The same course was taught both to students from the engineering school, which requires a certain number of math courses (Linear Algebra, Calculus, etc.), and in the general college, which had much fewer requirements.

The professor was forced to stay surface-level on the math, so the coursework was a task of glueing together code from scikit-learn. Unfortunately, the exams were much easier if you had the mathematical intuition.
How would one know? I avoided basically all optional gatherings of more than zero people from mid-March 2020 to late April 2021. I didn’t explain that to anyone; I just didn’t do it.
The engineering/testing cruft that goes along with testing super old hardware probably also hurts how quick they can iterate and how much they have to spend to validate changes on multiple hardware configurations.

If you treat them as neutral pursuers of profit for doing something "good", then, it's only fair to treat them as neutral pursuers of profit when they do something "evil".

Let me remind that that early on, internet companies were all almost completely pro-free speech. It's the viewers that demanded that YouTube censor things or else they would tweet bomb companies into pulling ads from them. They wanted a nanny, so they shouldn't react surprised when Google acts like a nanny.
That article has been on HN's front page for hours: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27645282.

Just to be clear, [flagged] on a submission means users flagged it, not moderators. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. Users flagged your submission (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27638871), then someone else reposted the article. We turned off flags on the latter.

Since yours was the earliest submission of the article, we'd normally have preferred to restore that one, but by the time we saw it that thread was such a wretched tire fire that it was unsalvageable. I explained that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27646075.

Generally it would be best not to rush to dramatic conclusions like "So the X is ok while the Y is Z?" without having all the relevant information. It makes for dramatic internet comments, but they're nearly always wrong.
CFTR modulators have completely transformed CF treatment for +90% of patients. Gene therapy is a possibility, however, with there being +1000 possible mutations that can lead to CF, it’s not the clear cut candidate that some of the other rare genetic disorders are right now. The cynic in me also thinks that with CFTR modulators costing ~350k/year, drug companies may not feel incentivized to run the risky gene therapy trials and patients may not want to participate given the dramatic improvement in their lives with current therapy options.
Also organise things yourself. Return dinner parties. Ask people to preferred activities and organise logistics.
Server running bind with multiple people jumping in and making edits to the config. A body goes in and makes an edit but never reloads the service. After that change I went in with my own change - my change was very minor and I knew it was correct so like a fool I didn't run a syntax check - and then I reloaded the service. I didn't even check after the case to make sure it was still running.

Narrator: Bind was not running.

That doesn't explain the trend since the 90s. If anything, fewer men are married to their careers than before.

I suspect it actually has to do with later marriages and declining fertility. As someone who doesn't really seek friendship, everyone I know socially is either through work or parents of my kids' friends.

I supposed I'm (and you seem to be) implying that in the scenario of a group made up of A, B and C, if A and C are online when A sends a message (and then A goes offline) then B can receive A's message forwarded by C. We wouldn't need a server in this case, would we?
Well, I can hate the guy, but kudos:

“The asset Thiel bought for $2,000 and stashed in his IRA? Paypal stock. A lot of Paypal stock. Thiel and his partners declared Paypal's stock to be worth $0.001/share, which meant Thiel could shelter 1.7 million shares in his Roth IRA.

Today, those shares are worth $5 billion, and Thiel can draw them at 65 without paying any tax on them – neither the ~40% tax that he'd pay if they were income, nor the 20% sweetheart capital gains rate the IRS gives to people who earn money by gambling, not working.”
I think you should teach assembly language first, and then build a few simple high-level langauges on top of that. I suspect it would prevent a lot of mental dross from forming.
I think it's the same way Hollywood does these things to please the CCP. John Cena being the latest example.

Google might not be currently much active in China but continuing to do these "gestures" is basically trying to please the CCP for future. These are all moves being made for many years in advance. John Cena for example didn't just learn fluent mandarin to apologize to CCP over night. He had been learning it for many years because he knows the 1.5 billion population in China is going to make them more money than whatever they have in US.
Share market can double overnight while hiring process will take months. Plus, market valuation increase purely due to the last shares traded between owners of the MSFT shares unless MS themselves participate to raise capital by issuing more shares. Borrowing now is way cheaper as 2T means they cashflow in coming months need to reflect that.

>I'm sure YT is going to trot out some stock reason for not re-instating the videos.

Doesn't have to be particularly good either. They could adapt the one GOG used to censor a Taiwanese game developer:

"After receiving many messages from users, we have decided not to list the Xianjiang videos on our service."

That blew over quickly.
I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but I think it would be a more apt comparison to complain about the songs performed at the free concert rather than all the externalities of it. If that's your complaint, then I stand by my observation: how odd...
> So tell me this: how is the degree to which a given metric is tied to incentives meant to be varied?

...by not tieing incentives to it? I feel like I must not understand your question because this seems blindingly obvious...

> Voting is not an evaluation method of the voter: the voter is the one doing the evaluating. Because the powers should not discriminate between voters as you say, the vote cannot be used to evaluate the voters on and individual basis at all.

I don't even get where you got this strawman from.

> no individual/team assessments of any sort. That makes no incentives. But that also doesn't help with fine-grained strategy.

No, just dont use KPIs that are critical to understanding your business in assessments tied to incentices because that will distort your KPIs and make you less capable of understanding your business.
It's perfectly legal to manufacture firearms, although you must have a license to sell them if you have manufactured them for that purpose.
Those FAANG companies occasionally adapt very powerful political stances, putting their best interests ahead of ~50% of the USA. In other words, these are not American companies-- they view themselves as 'above' Americans and don't mind using their weight to try to push policy that benefits themselves.

I'm not disappointed to see them put under scrutiny. I hope big media companies are next.

Not really the tone I had intended, but it looks like that's the tone which came across.

The cheating came out in the Scheme class, specifically. It was something like 150 students caught. It was not a general cheating scandal in the first CS course over the years. My comment was very clear about this, I did not imply cheating was a problem elsewhere (may have been, I wasn't aware of any issues though).

It wasn't really overblown, it was a problem with that course. The instructors and TAs were grossly unprepared to teach hundreds of freshman a semester in a language they (the instructors and TAs) weren't familiar with that was fundamentally harder (especially for an arbitrary student rather than those actually interested in the topic) than what was done before.

The rest of my comment was about appropriateness of the first course to the students and their objectives. MATLAB being a much better first language for the engineering majors than the general CS requirement provided.

Yep. Only way to solve this is to change the laws to force any Big Tech/Corporations/Banks with over 1 million daily active user-content generating users in the USA to be declared common carriers. And this can be joined by other countries to make it global and thus put pressure on the CCP.
Wikipedia's endless war over the coronavirus lab leak theory
I’ve moved cross country twice, and did an international stint. My advice is it frequently costs more to store or move most of the stuff we own than it would cost to buy it new. Figure out the truly irreplaceable stuff, move that, sell or donate the rest.

As for how to get there: it’s a lousy time of year to drive across the US. If you’ve got the time, plot a scenic route and avoid pulling into urban areas at rush hour. If you don’t have the time: ship your car (or sell it and buy a replacement in FL).

If you’re moving for a job, are they offering M&L? If so, take advantage of that because the movers they recommend will be more interested in keeping the company’s business.

Yeah, good questions that I'd also love to see see answers to!

My favorites for retro-like discussions (if you think it will be beneficial):

1. What did you worry about the most in the beginning that later turned out to be silly/inconsequential?

2. What did you intentionally put off in the beginning thinking it wasn't a big deal that you later regretted not spending more time on?
By "removed" they mean "stolen" or "copied"
I agree with most of your comment except the Florida/Texas/States lawsuits. I don't think this can be dealt on the state level. This needs to be done by the federal congress and senate passing laws. Force any Big Tech/Corporations/Banks with over 1 million daily active user-content generating users in the USA to be declared common carriers. And this can be joined by other countries to make it global and thus put pressure on the CCP.

The same thing can happen when concrete cracks, which is quite common. All of this a question of basic building maintenance rather than the building materials chosen.

You're really grasping for straws to somehow tie politics into small towns and friendship, while also making assumptions about me. Yes, I saw the comment that you made and promptly deleted. Your red vs blue ranting is nonsensical. I live in Texas and have lived in a few small towns in WV for several years. I have a lot of friends all over the political spectrum, and hobbies that are stereotypically aligned with those demographics, so I spend a lot of time around all kinds of people. I'm not quite sure what you're rambling on about, but from this message and the one you deleted you sure have strong opinions about...something. You're afraid to use your main account, I don't know why I'm even bothering to respond.

>Following inquiries from Reuters as to why the channel was removed, YouTube restored it on June 18, explaining that it had received multiple so-called 'strikes' for videos which contained people holding up ID cards to prove they were related to the missing, violating a YouTube policy which prohibits personally identifiable information from appearing in its content

>YouTube asked Atajurt to blur the IDs. But Atajurt is hesitant to comply, the channel's administrator said, concerned that doing so would jeopardize the trustworthiness of the videos.

I'm not sure what the issue here is. I don't think Youtube's policy of not allowing PII content is unreasonable.

People will laugh but playing golf has increased my social circle by a wide amount. I play golf with different people all the time. I play 2-3 times a week. We have a core group of people 10-12 that always play together. Would join in golf trips going to play different places around the world. Huge age difference in the group. People in mid 20's all the way up to some who just turned 80. Gotta find that hobby and then find that group of people.

As someone who knows next to nothing about genetics, it's interesting to me that we haven't engineered a tree that grows faster than a hybrid poplar but thicker than a oak or sequoia (for carbon sequestration, and lumber).

An added benefit would be if the wood after harvested lasted longer than a cedar.

I'm guessing the reason this isn't possible is more due to the fact that it's just not financially worth the investment than it being too difficult.

But I'd love to hear from someone who knows more about this stuff.
This is literal propaganda on hackernews. Sad to see it here.

I doubt this was YouTube policy, or that it was driven from the top. If it was, we'd have seen a few leaks. This is more likely mass reporting of such content (perhaps organized by State apparatus), exploiting the automated flagging algorithm.

In any case, I hope Google takes a stand now.
All this talk of TPMs has me wondering: most of the premise of a TPM is that it's basically a hardware cryptographic device that lets you generate keys and do various operations with them, but never extract the key itself, right? Then, if you do actually want a TPM-like device that behaves mostly like a normal one but lets you get at the keys through some backdoor, what's stopping you from making and using one? Some manufacturer (model? batch?)-specific private key programmed at the factory that lets it authenticate itself as a genuine TPM?
