No. "Free speech" is not a get out of jail free card.

I think there may some narrow grounds for a lawsuit here, but it's not about free speech, it's about piercing pseudo-anonymity.

From the article:

> In her suit, Viola acknowledged writing most of the posts. But she denied being behind the anti-Muslim screed. That was critical to Sorokin’s decision to allow the libel and defamation part of Viola’s suit to proceed. The former professor “has plausibly alleged that Benton may have been negligent in his failure to verify that she was the author,” the judge wrote.

If she can prove that it wasn't her/Benton can't prove that it was her (I'm not familiar with the legal system, so I don't know which it would be), then there would indeed be an untrue statement. As for damage; why does anyone dredge up another's darker side, if not to damage them in some way? I can't think of another motive for doing so.
> Seeking shelter is a protected human right.

Protected by who? Where does it come from? If you live in the real world you will know that "protected human rights" are lies westerners tell themselves while they buy cheap goods from china made by slaves.

> Crossing borders to seek asylum is not breaking the law.

If I bring my family here without following immigration procedures they will be deported and I will likely lose my residence permit or be rejected on renewal.

> Your question “why do people who break the laws get favorable treatment here?” is a loaded question based on false premise and should not be answered.

No false premise. Most people who come to Europe without following immigration procedures are not refugees. Just because they think they should have the right to live in Europe does not make them refugees, and circumventing immigration laws is the definition of breaking the law.

> However, even with a right to seek asylum many refugees need to smuggle them self into their prospected host country.

If they come from countries not bordering Europe, why do they have to come to Europe? Is Europe the only safe place in the world? And why is Europe responsible for their safety in the rest of the world?

> Over half of confirmed migrant deaths occur while crossing the Mediterranean in unsafe conditions.

How many of these migrants would qualify as refugees? And how is it Europe's fault if they get killed outside of Europe.

> why do [refugees] get favorable treatment here?

> They most often don’t. But they should. The reason being is that their homes are not safe. They need to flee to a new country or risk a worse fate. In other words, they need help. A humane society would give everyone help that needs it.

You conflate refugees and people who illegally enter Europe with no legal basis and do not qualify as refugees. And there are many more of the second category than the first.

Not having a safe home does is not even considered in the definition of a Refugee by UNHRC, and even if it was, generally UNHRC does not recognize the right of those with legitimate refugee status to just decide where they would like to go.

Everyone who needs money is not entitled to mine. I would much rather send it to my family than give it to people who break the laws and enter the country where I reside with no legal basis which places additional tax burdens on me.
Matrix is looked after the Matrix.org Foundation which is non-profit and doesn't collect venture capital either: https://matrix.org/foundation.

(It's true that many contributions to Matrix come from Element, though, the VC-funded for-profit founded by the original Matrix team in order to pay for us to keep the lights on and keep working on Matrix. Just as VC-funded Jabber Inc contributed massively to XMPP, back in the day).

Yeah, it's funny how no one gives a flying fuck about your suffering and will actively encourage it for their own benefit right up until you start talking about suicide.

Of course, 90% of the time that's because they see an opportunity to sell you on a new drug, religion, or ideology.

> You are not around to enjoy the result of your consequent non-existence.

For a lot of people, that isn't the point. They've really lost hope. They think there is no end to the suffering. Many times they've already tried ways to effectively blunt feeling in their life with, at best, limited success. I've heard it said, "what's the point? i can't go through this any longer".

> Suffering is a natural part of life not something to be escaped on a whim.

But if you all feel and foresee is suffering, what is the benefit of living? I'm not advocating suicide at all, but I'm trying point out why it can seem rational.

This argument used to be used to fire gay people from engineering jobs. Because being gay was obviously very bad and you can’t possibly have good judgement if you’re gay.

Being gay and racist have obviously different implications on your workplace behavior and biases. The issue is that precedent is precedenty. If we normalize firing people for their personal life issues, where do we stop?

You're arguing for normal operations, which nobody is disagreeing with. The sticking point you hand-waved away is what happens in an emergency. Telling someone "well you saved money over the last decade, SURPRISE!" isn't an acceptable situation for a utility.

> Are you dynamically creating a named tuple (a record?)

No, it's creating a namedtuple type, aka a subclass of `tuple`. So the fieldnames are literally the names given to the tuple's items: Point is a pair (a two-uple) whose 0th item can be accessed as `x` and 1st item `y`.
Agreed, especially for MVPs and "phase 1" projects.

At my current company, it's reached a point where we flat out reject product proposals for features or changes that would need to be hacked together for an MVP without a time commitment from all necessary stakeholders on how it will properly be implemented for phase two (iff phase one is a success). It's amazing how quickly "critical" features become irrelevant to product when they understand even half the amount of work required to properly implement them.
In Norway, Tesla has since introducing the Model 3, added dual cables, where you can charge either your old style plug or your CCS plug Tesla. At all of their supercharging stations, while also expanding their network at a rapid pace.

I definitely do not get that what they have already done once, can't be repeated elsewhere.

My impression when it comes to fast chargers are that the most expensive parts of setting them up, is getting the power infrastructure from the grid to the station. Zoning might also be something that is time consuming. But neither of these have any impact on the plug to the car.

So maybe the current US Tesla charger network is Betamax, but retrofitting it to do both VHS and Betamax shouldn't be that hard, and they've done it once already, somewhere else. So I don't see the problem.
This is how i started programming 17 years ago in WAP/J2ME era.

I either programmed on the phone or I went to local library
“Frequently”? No. Also, all fast charging plugs have an electronic interlock, and it’s for safety reasons (to prevent flash from a manual disconnect in the middle of charging). So the problem you describe happens for other vehicles occasionally, like eTron and i3 (after a quick google).

Tesla vehicles are MUCH more common in the US and have had access to much better fast charging for a lot longer, so you’re a victim of sample bias.
Eh there’s usually still some interface to deal with in those systems, here you don’t have to do anything, it probably cuts off more than half of the interaction time. When it’s been pouring rain, I’ve been especially thankful I didn’t have to fumble for a card in my wallet.
> What someone does legally, without harming or threatening anyone else, in their private life outside of their job, should have little to zero impact on their ability to maintain employment.

Except this has always been the case. What you do outside your work has always affected your ability to maintain employment. The difference is that now those who benefited from this in the past are now suffering from it.

"And the chance of temporarily reaching 1.5°C above average has roughly doubled compared to the predictions made last year. The main reason behind it is the use of an improved temperature dataset to estimate the baseline rather than sudden changes in climate indicators."

Right. So go back in time, re-calculate the baseline, and then claim the odds of crossing a magical UN line have doubled.

Then complaint the climate skeptics say the historical baseline temperatures start at a convenient year and are being revised downward to artificially show more warming now to cover up for failed predictions.

Which of course BEGS the question, how exactly did a re-analysis of baseline data double the odds of reaching 1.5c increase? Was the historical data revised downward?

I'm genuinely interested not in a fight, because climate fights are blase. I'm interested in how they did this. On the one hand, more confidence in historical data could give more confidence in future extrapolations. But that isn't the claim here. The claim is that the "new" model, re-fed historical data, now shoots out a more catastrophic conclusion.

I agree with you that it’s difficult to predict whether inflation will or won’t be transitory and I suspect that if you got Powell to speak honestly about the issue he’d tell you that his confidence in his projection is closer to 2/3 than 99/100.

He does have a lot of quite powerful tools that make it easier for him to be correct, such as expanding the money supply by an unlimited amount and defining the inflation metric.

Do you think people saved the extra few dollars every month for years? Were they ever told/warned that one day they might need to pony up thousands of dollars? If there is a major weather emergency and you're already under a lot of stress trying to take care of your family, do you think the sound policy is to just let electricity go up to thousands of dollars while people are just trying to survive?

This is a poor policy for something that is an essential utility, this isn't just "republican bashing".
> Except XMPP uses DNS for message routing from a human readable handle, user@host.com, but Matrix uses a central database "identity server" operated by Matrix.org and federation fails if this service goes down.

Uh, no? Federation certainly does not fail if the identity server goes down. You won't be able to invite someone to a room by email address or phone number if whatever identity server you're using goes down, but it's nowhere near the critical path for federation.
> Except XMPP uses DNS for message routing from a human readable handle, user@host.com, but Matrix uses a central database "identity server" operated by Matrix.org and federation fails if this service goes down.

This statement is almost entirely wrong. The identity server is A) only for mapping 3PID (3rd Party Identities, i.e. email addresses or phone numbers) to matrix usernames, B) can be self-hosted, and C) not required at all for federation. Federation does not in anyway require services provided by Matrix.org
Right, and Tesla does charge their Semi prototypes with an adapter that uses a few Supercharger plugs at once.

I actually meant “rent the car for X month”, but I made some mistakes here. First, I took the exact numbers for the calculation, but rounded them generously in favor of owning the car in the post. Second I made some sort of mistake, doing the math, so I’m still slightly off. The correct math:

The smallest golf on the list is 579 EUR/Month, that’s 6.948 EUR per year. Renting a Golf at starcar costs 1436 EUR for the month of August. That’s 4.84, just shy of 5.
We don't have a centralized healthcare system but that doesn't mean there's no need for interoperability because healthcare institutions constantly exchange information.

When you go to the doctor you are presumably insured. So your doctor needs to communicate with your insurance. Insurers might need to communicate with government agencies and regulatory bodies, and so on. If you've seen Covid data in Germany, that data comes from every corner in Germany, and all those institutions need to be able to talk toe each other.
Slack and Teams have always been laggy for me, meaning there's a perceptible delay between the time you press the keys on the keyboard and when the text appears on the screen. This isn't an issue with GUI IRC clients or many of the older chat platforms that were in use in the early 2000s.

The UI issues, at least for me, are the problem.
For more than a year or so am unable to upload an image from my fairly normal linux desktop to jira (across two different computers). I've minimised my use of the tool because of this.

I actively avoid jira, as it is slow, and buggy.

How come out of interest?
Well, "obviously" the web should have a mechanism in place that allows to request security sensitive features without having to poke around in the web server configuration, because in many cases this is "off limits" to the people who author the files to be hosted. How this is achieved, I don't really care, I only know that the current solution is half-baked.

The underlying problem is that this is a classic finger-pointing-situation that will probably never be fixed, because the web security people point the finger at the web hosters, and the web hosters shrug it off because 99% of their customers don't need the features because they just host their static blog there.
> Matrix uses a central database "identity server" operated by Matrix.org and federation fails if this service goes down.

This is completely and utterly false.

The identity server is a completely optional directory service used to resolve email addresses and phone numbers to matrix IDs.

Honestly, I wish we'd never bothered with them - they are rarely used today, and cause more confusion than they add value.

I think it highly depends on the content and relation to the profession.

You indeed can post things outside of a professional setting which demonstrate that you aren't appropriate for your job. A journalism professor commenting on the news isn't exactly unrelated activity.

This is indeed close to the edge of what would be appropriate but it would seem that what she said went beyond opinion and perspective and well into a questionable relationship with the truth and hate speech.

A professor should be held to a high standard of rationality and posting things online, even anonymously, should be able to be taken into consideration.
