I considered not including that line at all, and I probably shouldn't have because "positive/negative right" definitions can get quite blurry and dependent on the chosen frame of reference. Particularly online tend to get into twisty definitional arguments none of which actually clarify anything. I was being lazy and meant it in that we all have the affirmative right to express ourselves as well as the right not to and to not be compelled to do so, but I suppose legally speaking it could all be under the heading of "the right to not have force used against one over speech". The world "compel" itself after all can also get blurry.

At any rate, I won't edit that out, but it wasn't the best choice of words. If this was a paper, it wouldn't have made the second draft after I re-read it the next morning :).
Until they populate all the top search results with those patterns.

This apologies for any unethical practice by companies in Reddit/HNs are really interesting. They side completely with the authorities. Properly trained.

Surely the Soviets must have had more accidents? It only lists Soviet accidents that were so big that they couldn't be covered up. And of course other nuclear powers surely had accidents too. It would be interesting how an uncensored list looks like.
What prevents them from uploading the videos to a different service like Vimeo, Odysee, Archive.org etc. then?
They could create a new YT account with the sole purpose of sending people to a video hosted elsewhere. A bit cumbersome, but better than nothing, and would force YT to prohibit links in YT descriptions, which would be anti-competitive.
In theory, wouldn't make sense to run all the code that runs as the root user as ring zero?

The root user still can access read/write the whole memory of the system anyway via /dev/mem, load kernel modules, and do practically anything on the system. In that context, a change of privilege is useless in practice, and can lead to performance degradation.

This will lead performance benefits in most system daemons, notably programs that interact closely with the kernel like systemd.
One primal motive for reading is the value of stories; life is full of interpreted narrative, and we bond with others over such stories.
As far as what makes a better Goodreads, I’m not interested in a social media platform around books. That’s too much of a quagmire for me, and I prefer the “social media lite” of discussion with friends & family, getting recommendations from podcasts (another story delivery mode), and browsing the library.
> That would have just made the internet in accessible to the poor.

We have that problem now, apparently. Every consent decree that happens to some monster ISP includes a "low cost service for poor people" mandate.
There was an app going around a few months ago called “wombo.ai” that will make a headshot sing. It had the same outcome when given non human pictures as a source. Easily killed an afternoon trying out different things.
this isn't entire true - actually i don't think there was a single country in europe that made going outside alone an actual fine with law behind it. it was made to appear that way, but i've heard many anecdotal stories that when stopped by the police, the police ended up admiting they couldn't really do anything

Core web vitals is a joke. Literally 4 days ago it started bitching to me about breadcrumbs telling me that data-vocabulary.org schema deprecated

Google ; New Breadcrumbs issue detected for site xxxxx
24 Jun 2021•Breadcrumbs

So I look into it, knowing I'd fixed that ages ago....

Google ; Last crawled : 13 Nov 2019

Triggering stuff because you eventually got round to looking at it 19 months later? and it's all like that full of massive holes that make zero sense.

Google; "This product doesn't show how many reviews it has"...
Me; "It has no reviews"
Google; "ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! zero is not a valid number!!!!"
Me; "Fuck you Google"
Google; "This product doesn't show how many reviews it has"...

I'm not even going to get into how shitty pagespeed insights is* - it's not even close to lighthouse. It tells you to increase your caching but doesn't use caching in performance measurements. I presume google has a giant ass that it pulls most of the figures out of on each run. I live in an area of the UK with one of the worst mobile phone signals known to man, pages load in < 2 seconds google consistently claims at least double.

I really don't enjoy spending hours of my days having to check that Google haven't moved the goalposts yet again.

Reddit, Pinterest, and Twitter also do this, and I wish I could exclude them from Google search results.

The worst offense IMO is that even if you do take their bait to “use the app”, they punt you to the App Store page, losing the URL you were on in the process, so even though I have all of those apps installed, it’s not possible to click through from a Google result then open that same post in the app. At that point, I don’t try to search for the same thing in the app, I just convince myself that it’s not worth it and abandon any attempt to access that content. They can keep it.
Attempting to do transactional memory (and, I've been told, the 1.2 kW power requirement!) was what sunk Sun's Rock processors.
It also alters the original array, just awful usability.
We really need proof that they're actually dead. A police report, a mention in the local paper would work but something. We don't even know their name to look into the matter, despite being doxxed. Let's first confirm that a person has actually died, then we can take concrete action against Kiwi Farms. Otherwise they will always be able to claim that no suicide even took place.

In this case, they're putting profit over ethics leading to negative effects, so this one doesn't. Furthermore, Hanlon's razor is a false dichotomy: In this case the result is unethical yet neither malicious nor stupid.
As an aside, people complain that Twitter is a toxic place, but if you exclusively subscribe to art accounts, it's one of the most beautiful places on the internet.

Asian artists are an even safer bet: they only post art. How refreshing!
You'd think, but not really: whether a screen reader reads out MathML or just reads out a proper alt attribute makes no difference.
> They've already 'fixed' modmail for new reddit. So I think they're actively working on that problem.

Though that has had some funny issues. One thing I noticed was the enrollment for the new modmail. It is on the settings page on old reddit for a sub, but I couldn't find it anywhere for the new reddit UI. Wacky.
> everyone will make more money and everyone will be better off.

Not the people who are currently making bank off of palliative care for that ailment. This absolutely creates perverse incentives that, while not ubiquitous, are hardly uncommon.
Easier to top up than to have a pot available and no one using it... Its a new instrument so I guess they couldn't get a good estimate what was needed. Also better if you can select rather than fund everything.

I suppose they will pitch in other funds, e.g. they have encouraged countries to use some of the funds under the Recovery and Resilience Facility to fund projects that got these certificates of quality.
> without something to monetize?

Not without something to monetize. Just no advertising.

Commerce sites would exist largely as-today in this alternate universe.

Early on there was a lot of interest in micropayments for funding sites with interesting content. That pretty much all dies because it was a harder problem to kickstart off the ground than just stuffing every page full of ads.

But, with ads prohibited, the Internet would've evolved differently and we'd probably have a very convenient way to pay some fraction of a penny to any site we frequent, all with zero ads and none of the toxic consequences of forcing people to view ads.
Except YouTube (temporarily) banned them for community guidelines violations, not copyright violations. So the Hughes v. Benjamin decisions isn't relevant.
> Mail is not forwarded

Go one further, mail is pulled, not sent. One such approach is https://tonsky.me/blog/streams/. It'd be hard to prevent moats and people might still coalesce into a few popular middlemen, but at least spam would be reduced. Spam is the primary reason client-side/self-hosted mail is left to the tech-savvy.
Cash is a physical thing that needs to be taken somewhere if you're using it to pay someone off or receive a payoff. That gives means to be apprehended at some point in the chain. Crypto on the other hand you just hand over the coins. The coins are sent to an exchange's wallet, mingled, then pulled out on another anonymous wallet. This is what makes it so great for ransoms.
When you're told you're number one your whole life, you don't go anywhere else, and your religion and patriotism are joined at the hip, why, there's no reason to change anything.

> "Should the minimum wage for workers be equal to the wage where the government doesn't need to provide benefits? If it's not, why does the government subsidize low productivity employers?

I'm not sure I follow. How does the government "subsidize low productivity employers"? What does "low productivity" employers/work even mean?
For biometrics in general, there's a huge list, starting from cannot change and therefore rely on the implementation, all the way down to hard to deny that I have access. While I can say, no, I don't have a password to this random device you are showing me, with biometrics, you can just wave it in front of my face and it unlocks. Maybe even when I am asleep / unconscious.

For the specific case here, about my laptop: for instance, I can't simply hand the notebook to my dad, _telling_ him the password and he's good to go. This is the downside where I can't simply share a (biometric) login, even if I want to. Which also means that every access automatically implies that it's really me, and not someone else I just gave quick access to without reconfiguring the system.
6’1” at 179 lbs corresponds to a BMI of 23.6 which is considered in the normal range.
> Wouldn't it be easier to specify the minimum wage in real instead of nominal dollars?

No, because price data (and thus conversion from “real” dollars to actual currency, that is, “nominal dollars", based on some past bemchmark) are only available retrospectively. But you probably want to know what the minomum wage in nominal dollars is before you have to pay someone.
> You cannot counter somebody's preference with another preference.

What would be your preferred way of me bringing this up with a hot take to his hot take? Apparently a counter isn't valid or you're being pedantic.

> ...and you are also missing the roleplay aspect of this -- "I am an outlaw!" -- that a lot of people enjoy and get deliberately flagged in order to experience it.

Can you elaborate on what you mean here? It was a thing that existed and you were often careful to avoid it otherwise you couldn't access resources in town easily. Also, you would be punished with a "jail" time after you died. Not a permanent death, but the time counter increased per murder. I specifically remember my friend having a player killer character that his own brother poisoned for the bounty. My buddy was quite furious and I believe even got into a fist fight with his brother about it given that character wouldn't be playable for weeks.

> What you describe hasn't been happening in most MMORPGs that tried to have a world PvP.

I mean at the time it was one of the largest MMORPGs on the market. Maybe because in the late 90's early 00's the market was smaller and there was less griefing online, which I don't believe to be true, but the system worked pretty well despite headhunters constantly being around. Perhaps no one has found a solid formula for it or the more modern MMORPG gameplay loop doesn't allow it with the constant fetch and grind.
One big element is that a lot of large companies and non-profits run their insurance programs as self-insured. They pay the direct costs of the medical care of their insureds, and keep the annual premiums the entire employee-base pays. The "insurance companies" are paid a percentage of the total revenue/claims as an administration fee, so they have incentives to push the overall amounts paid up, not down. Self-insuring eliminates the profit overhead of the insurance companies, but screws the incentives.

They are simply not reporting themselves as unemployed because there's no money. It doesn't mean that they found a job

> With Bitcoin, having lots of coins doesn't give you any new free coins, unlike fiat money.

Fiat money doesn't give your free money either. You have to invest in something - and there's plenty of fee-limited options in the cryptocurrency world as well.

Because the price is so low, not because they want to help the environment. At the next peak everyone will be happy to burn whatever fuel is cheaper than the payout again.
Does Google not check for this at all? They could easily spoof their User-Agent to see if sites lie about what they show.
By that vague definition, any app/site with UGC is a personal social network which is not a very useful definition.
> A trove of media darling Dr. Anthony Fauci’s emails was recently released to the public. The emails reveal early assertions that asymptomatic transmission is rare, that post-infection immunity is highly likely, and that masks are “not really effective.” However, you wouldn’t know that from the public messaging since the start of the pandemic, in which bureaucrats and journalists upheld lasting misconceptions that asymptomatic cases are dangerous, natural immunity is not a factor in protecting the population, and individuals are responsible for viral spread. These misconceptions fueled countless months of lockdowns, business closures, and job losses

This article is a complete mess in this section. Yes, emails from February 2020 revealed the scientific community still had a lack of understanding of the virus’ ability to spread from a pre-symptomatic host (often confused or merged with “asymptomatic” hosts who seem to typically not transmit due to lower viral load).

That isn’t exactly a scandal, it’s exactly what was being said publicly at the time too. There wasn’t anything surprising in the emails to anyone who followed the news and discussion in March-May 2020. We all saw, for instance, Fauci in the White House insisting 6 feet was enough to protect people because droplets from a cough don’t travel farther (wrong: overseas research and contact tracing showed the virus can be airborne and travel more than 6 feet inside a room), right alongside the early insistence that masks weren’t needed to reduce disease spread. Exactly what was being said in the emails was said publicly on TV.

Meanwhile, the emails seemed to show a lack of understanding of just how dangerous Covid-19 would be. We hit 600,000 deaths while the worst case models being discussed in Spring 2020 (on TV and privately) were just between 60k and 200k deaths. The virus did far more damage than people feared at first when lockdowns went into place.
Couple quick points here:

1)I'm no mathematician or statistician, but as I understand it the IFR also counts an estimate of those presumed to have had an asymptomatic case. A published study earlier this month estimates that the reported number of non-hospitalized cases between February and September of 2020 accounts for 1 out of every 7 cases of reported infection because of reasons like the symptoms weren't typical or didn't appear at all, amongst others. I don't know if that puts the IFR as low as they are saying, but it's still pretty low.

https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/72/12/e1010/6000389

2) The lockdowns have not shown any statistical data to the effect of controlling the transmission of the disease. As an aside, they actually have some support that they may have created a negative impact overall as people were forced to reside with family members who contracted and passed on the disease. There are plenty of anecdotal pieces of evidence on both sides of the argument on the subject of lockdowns. That in and of itself should be an indicator for caution and moderation when calling for unilateral action.

3) Even if one subscribes to the idea that the lockdowns did have a positive effect in controlling the rate of infection, the lockdowns were never billed as protecting the vulnerable. That was masking. The lockdowns were billed as an effort to stop hospitals from being overwhelmed. Sure, while there were hotspots and times of higher activity, I have not personally come across data that shows that these hospitals were ever in danger of being over-whelmed. However, I have personally seen examples of people who have lost their jobs in the medical industry because the shift to a laser focus on COVID-19 caused someone to lose their job due to lack of the necessary funding.

I don't know that any numbers are really going to add up for quite some time. I do think that the imposition of unilateral action like lockdowns was a terrible idea and the cost of doing so will continue to show itself over the next several years. Data will continue to change and be updated just like it is for all major medical events. It appears to me that perhaps the best course of action is making recommendations to people and letting them chose their own path. The history of this country and trying to impose something by force is not exactly stellar.
> any dissenting voices to a narratove leave or are forced out and you end up with a single religious narrative.

Religion has nothing to do with it. You don’t need to enforce or end up with a single “religious narrative”. For example a comment section on a science mag under an article about particle physics doesn’t need to talk about religion at all. People of all walks of faith can talk openly. Not allowing others to harass people with a religious viewpoint is the basis of freedom of religion.

Your lab leak theory is a great example of this exact problem, because it’s full of misinformation, almost certainly learned from social media. Scientist don’t “rule out” or “censor” competing hypothesis. It just doesn’t work that way. If you have data that supports a lab leak, then you publish and people do further research. Only in the public social media talk did it take the form of “science and truth being censored” primarily due to the public’s poor understanding of how science functions.

> In an echo chamber, you remove the truth”

This just logically makes no sense. Let’s say by your definition an echo chamber forces out competing narratives. If it forces out the narrative that the earth is flat, it in no way has removed the truth. By your definition I’ve created an echo chamber that only “believes” in a non flat earth, and yet truth remains.
The 402 HTTP status code is "Payment Required". At one time people envisioned micropayments etc but it never went anywhere.

Maybe all employees should wear police-grade body cams, especially public employees. Come think of it kids and teachers in school should wear body cams too. Maybe all citizens should get their own body cams as well.
How are they not getting absolutely destroyed by the Google search algos, since that’s the definition of cloaking: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/guideline...
While true I could be more charitable to the article I think it would do a disservice to not point out the fact that the author constantly minimizes the impact of the pandemic by highlighting how the death rate is for lower the non-elderly non-vulnerable non-obese and there’s no reason to even being this up unless you’re trying to drive home the subtext.
To me, it has exactly the same weight as Lockes denials.
Adding some context to this.

You are absolutely correct, his video did not have any added audio commentary or basically anything and he won his case, his video was just sections copied directly from the source creating a compilation of the original video.

In this case as I understand it, the content being uploaded is extremist content (in their eyes) explicitly being uploaded to highlight its extremism (in their eyes), the difference between the two situations being that Sargon’s video didn’t contain extremist content that YouTube wouldn’t want on their platform.

RWW is posting content they essentially want to be removed. They got what they wanted, the content was removed. In a sense they succeeded in what they set out to do.

I wish their channel be reinstated, but this situation looks to be slightly different from Benjamin’s unless more details come out.

It seems like YouTube messed up and is treating them harshly, but for all we know this type of content is now no longer allowed on the platform due to policy change.
It's in the Olympics, so yes, minus the gambling.
Course for managers leading remote teams
Very minor issues. Once every couple months I'll have forgotten to sync from device A after adding cards, do some reps on device B, realize I'm missing cards, and have to go back and resync.

Only a couple times over my entire usage have I actually had to do a full resync, and it's pretty painless. I just reupload to ankiweb, or download from it, and it's done. This is usually because I've caused some incompatibility via add-ons, or anki versions. But it's always been easy to fix.

>what other apps do you do that for?

I'm not sure what other apps I've used nearly as much as anki. Probably just firefox/chrome and emacs. I've had issues with losing tabs in browsers far more often than losing info with anki. And losing data by not saving in an editor is pretty easily done as well. I'm actually surprised at how well anki will handle changes from multiple sources. Unless you modify the same card on different devices, it pretty much always seems to work as expected.
> It's like trying to categorize your photos in a directory tree

A problem that made me think about tags instead of categories was precisely that: I have photos that I want to organize. I started by organizing them by person with a folder for each person. But how do I handle a photo where multiple people are in it? Tags don't have this problem. Unfortunately file systems don't support tags.
It’s a cynical way to interpret it . The desktop experience is only 30% of mobile. Brand perception is tarnished if people use the reduced experience .
