Well, today's society isn't that far off from slavery. The main difference is the lash has been replaced by economic punishments. People have the gall to call work voluntary when you literally starve if you opt out. Most workers will not see much improvement in their quality of life despite working hard for long hours.

We'll be free once our basic necessities are taken care of unconditionally. That means food, housing... Everything needed for a life with dignity. Until then, we are slaves to the current economic system whether we want to or not. We are not in a position where we can say "no, I don't want to do this anymore" without serious consequences.

Do the dynamics of Tokyo drivers (car exists for driving to the countryside) make sense for a small-range electric vehicle? Like there aren’t that many EV parking spots in the outlet stores 2.5 hours away

There is no preservation of mother tongues. Languages are assigned along ethnic lines in the name of nation building.

yellow → standard Chinese

native → Malay

brown → Tamil

If the father is a Fujian Hakka, the children will learn standard Chinese in addition to English. If the father is from New Delhi, the children will learn Tamil in addition to English. If the father is from Lisbon, the children will learn English only.
The whole point of the website is that the stuff being reported isn't criminal, because Texas and the Supreme Court have decided that the state setting civil penalties and letting private vigilantes sue is a convenient way of circumventing instead of reversing the constitutional precedent that the state has no business excessively restricting abortion.

I do something similar, I noticed that a link to a tweet in an article that I'm reading will always result in me clicking through and then wasting time catching up.

People will risk prison for a lot less than $950. Chicago isn't San Francisco, and if you're caught stealing a weed-whacker out of a garage, the police will mess up your year. People still break into my garage. I don't think felony sentencing has really any impact on these kinds of crimes; all it does is stuff prisons full of hopeless people.

That's not to say there isn't a policing solution to this problem! Just that dialing up consequences isn't it.

The surprising upsides of spite and how to harness them
No, it's the same comparison: handwashing is mildly inconvenient (consider, for example, the arguments from doctors who opposed it historically) but a population which does it regularly has a lower chance of various unpleasant outcomes. Vaccination is a different technique but similar: mild inconvenience, lower chance of significantly worse outcomes.

The uncertainty and personal bias is what you're trying to inject into a very clear cut decision when you conflate the extremely rare possible side-effects from vaccination with the far more common effects of contracting COVID. If you look at a large population, yes, there are a few people who will have a significant negative reaction to a vaccine but for each of them there are many thousands of people who will have worse outcomes from the actual disease.

IPO's will go extinct with crypto. People are not going to pay a bunch of bloated banker fees when they can just mint equity share coins (ICO) and get an accountant to do the paper work. Road show? The internet does it better and listings/information will be transparent and easily accessible. Not here to promote crypto just saying the IPO process seems like its days are numbered.

edit: HN fights any mention of crypto so hard because they cant control it and it disrupts their jobs. Good luck with that.
What does the first paragraph of your comment has to do with the others?

Yes, doctors should refuse to treat someone who does not want to be vaccinated.

If they do not make the effort for the good of everyone, they suffer the consequences.
Copyright should return to its original term length, or if anything a single extension (so some combination of 14 and 28 years between original filing and renewal). If "you" as a business can't make enough money from a work in 56 years then fuck off, based on copyright you owe us the work. Their rent-seeking behavior enrages me.
It's a good point, and I did consider noting that at one time this was also true for the word christian. But I think we agree that this is not the case now.

There are several considerations that underpin my own thinking on social justice, but perhaps most relevant here is the concept of competing freedoms. It's easy to say that your right to swing your fist ends at my nose, but the debate over hate speech is much more controversial. In the case of personal threats or libel, we do have a history of recognizing that there are potentially competing freedoms at stake when it comes to certain kinds of speech. We can productively disagree on how to balance these freedoms - even at the extremes - but the caricature of wokeness pretends that I don't care about freedom of speech at all, while simultaneously dismissing that there may be competing freedoms worth considering. I personally believe that freedom of speech outweighs the freedom to live unencumbered by impersonal threats and libel - but I also acknowledge the damage that allows, and believe we should consider ways to minimize or compensate for it.

This applies to my example of sexual harassment, but in that case with what I will call "soft freedoms." That is to say, the hypothetical harasser does not have a right to work at that company, and the hypothetical victims do not have a right to not see a particular person. In a perfect world, a reformed harasser could return to work and get a second chance, and those they worked with could feel secure and safe. Given that we do not live in this perfect world, there is a choice in how to balance these soft freedoms. I think we might disagree on where to place this particular line, but probably not by very much. But the "anti-woke" would have you believe that I think that anyone who was accused of the slightest transgression should be fired.
I’m constantly surprised when people use GoDaddy for domain registration/site hosting.
Heh, I find it morally disagreeable in the small but I agree with the larger implications.

Businesses don't have to do business if they don't want to. Tough for this website, sucks to be discriminated against for a political belief. It isn't like there is a shortage of domain registrars in the world.

If there is a legal technicality where someone has to vote Democrat to start a domain registrar then there is a problem here. VeriSign doing this would be a concern. Unless I'm misreading this it isn't troubling; GoDaddy is not that important.

It'd be sad if the DNS system becomes political. But at this point we should be bracing for it, there aren't a lot of future paths where it stays neutral.
It is by design. The viral idea behind intersectionality is that people are easier to manage both as interchangeable representatives of arbitrary group identities, and the consequent alienation and anxiety politically neutralizes them as potential opponents to their managers agenda. The tactic itself practically ancient, and the theory that scales it is just over a century old. It literally exploits social tolerance as weakness the same way that you can manipulate individuals by their agreeableness.

We've got a late stage 3 case of it, with new intersectional groups being added every year, and they iterate to isolate the individual from any coherent belief or relationship beyond an ever shifting narrative of political expediency.
Since the idea is viral, there is no direct confrontation against it other than to isolate the infected until the disease runs its course or they expire, or a chemotherapy approach, which requires an equivalent and improbable amount of co-ordination and viral spread, usually with unacceptable costs. Like the plot of every zombie movie ever, it's a periodic generational plague.

A great example of new intersectional groups is how it's absolutely fine to publish that the unvaxxed are sacrificing our children for their far right beliefs, which until recently was called "the blood libel." A useful self test is, if you're cool with the blood libel, you may already be a zombie. The only question is whether you will self-treat with personal reflection, or join the shuffling mass of the damned in their hunt for brains and thirst for blood.
Its interesting that the political spectrum has shifted in the US.

It used to be that the Republican party was economically liberal (by this I mean "less government") and socially conservative (by this I mean "more restrictive".

The Democratic party was the opposite.

This was always a very odd coalition of ideas, as libertarians were quick to point out. The parties should probably be "more government" versus "less government"

Suddenly, over the last few years and once they "won" around issues like gay marriage, it's become apparent that the Democratic party is now socially conservative. The woke movement is really a new breed of "conservative" movement.

The Republican party still seems a bit in shambles, but they may ultimately find themselves coalescing around libertarian ideas.

Although right now it appears both parties are for "more government" and "even more government". (For example immigration under Trump and Biden are similar, both spent massively, etc).

Where is there mercy and grace in being unwilling to make an effort to show the utterly minimal respect of e.g. addressing them how they prefer?

There's a ruthlessness to it in large part because of a recognition from many that asking nicely has been met with immense vitriol, anger, even violence in some cases. At some point you stop asking and start demanding.

I disagree you'd no.longer be facing a Nihilist. You might get them to consider the merit of a viewpoint versus another, but they still wouldn't really care about any viewpoint presented. A dyed in the wool Nihilist would only provide objective judgement, but adopt no position.
Analogies are always misleading. A cloud provider is no neighbor. They facilitate a specific service, and it is clear that the package is owned by the client. The cloud provider shouldn't have any liability for the data he stores, especially if it's encrypted and not shared to the public, nobody should ever care what's inside the package. If the authorities have a good reason to think that you have drugs or CP in your package, then they can force you to open it.

IMHO, no combination of ones and zeros should ever be illegal. The act of distributing them to others or creating them in the real world should be. The energy stored on a flash drive doesn't harm anybody, human action does.

Below, I'm going to push back on what I see as overconfident and overgeneralized claims. Both of these can inhibit understanding and listening.

> but we have seen in the past that privacy once lost is nigh impossible to regain

Yes, this is a key argument in the mix.

Some follow up questions:

1. As I understand it, here on HN, we are an international audience of various ages. With that in mind, I don't know your contextual experience. Are you scoping this (a) to the internet era (roughly 2000 to present)? / (b) to particular countries?

2. The statement quoted above is stated as if it is a fact, but I hope you realize it is actually a prediction. What is the historical context for this prediction? How far out into the future are you predicting?

3. Can you pin down your prediction more precisely? What does "nigh" mean? (There is a lot of variation in what "approximately" means to different people. Often the 'exceptions' are quite informative.)

4. The argument, as written, is quite general, which makes it hard to discuss. Whose privacy and in what context? Chinese citizens searching the internet? Journalists doing investigative reporting? Americans shopping in surveilled supermarkets? (Think of this as an opportunity to explain)

5. Do you mean all of the above? If you do, yes, people say that online privacy has eroded in many senses. At the same time, the tools for encryption have become more powerful, understood, and used. My point: if you make a very general statement, it is only fair if you cover the full range here.

In summary, with the above questions, I want to both better understand you -and- push back too. Unfortunately, I don't find the discussion chain above (the ~3 ancestors) particularly persuasive. I say this even though I agree with some aspects of it.

So you know where I'm coming from: in almost all situations, I've found it is more effective to understand, discuss, explain, persuade rather than 'writing off' a group of people because you don't really understand them.

P.S. I've addressed your other points in a sibling comment.
The piece I've yet to fully understand is how the state manages to absolve itself of enforcement. That is, they created the law which criminalizes it (or at least makes it some odd criminal-civil hybrid statute). They then set up a reporting system, which itself places them squarely in the process. And, following a report, they would presumably do something.

I don't see how they can reasonably claim they are not involved with enforcement.

Oh well, even if Apple backs off they'll just try something else.

Even though surveillance has always been a thing, the ability to both collect and parse the data is unparalleled. No need for Walsingham's secret police, or at least not so much anymore. The loose coalition that actually runs matters will do whatever it takes.

I'd say that a lot of what drives this at the mass level is the need for revenge, that's a lot more fun than being for something. 9/11 occurs, lets get the bastids. The forces of the State are now arrayed at the evil TrumpWhiteSupremacistGuysWithFlags regardless of the lack of their actual presence on the street. You enemies need to be ground to dust.

I doubt that boycotting Apple will make a lick of difference. In a time of turmoil your optimal solution is to cut dependencies on the system. It's a battle that should be watched from a distance and the soul-rot that comes through computer screens and cell phones is best kept to a minimum.
That's true, now we can go back and simplify, I was more speaking to the origination of all of these horrible things. Nobody knew when they picked 2048 instead of 1024 it was going to matter, but then suddenly it did and nobody wrote down a good way to probe that API.

Intelligence is a human-biased term. We basically use it, informally at least, to separate ourselves from the rest of nature "oh, they're not sentient, they're not intelligent".
In theory, these are about as resource-efficient as an ICE-powered commuter vehicle can get.

In reality....they are unreliable little shitboxes, and I hate being stuck behind them on a hill, or on the expressway, or saddled with one as a loaner when my daily driver is in a shop for maintenance. They are often geared such that driving one at any speed over 80kph feels like you are risking Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly. Unless it's one of the crazy sporty variants, such as a Suzuki Alto Works or a Suzuki Cappuccino. Those are cool. Oh, and the kei pick-up trucks are very useful little vehicles....probably what half of American pickup truck drivers should have instead of their underutilized monster trucks (F-150, Dodge Ram, etc..).

Hypocrisy of the highest order. Complain about wealth inequality, while at the same time seek higher paid managerial jobs.

Either your ok with wealth inequality, or start asking for salary to be spread around your team and sub teams.

I'm a liberal market capitalist, I'm ok with wealth inequality. What I can't stand are my peers who seek bonuses, extra salary, and ways to increase profitability but at the same time complain about wealth inequality.

I don't mind old school hippy socialists because they at least follow their own ideas.
Ahhh the CDC.
My point was more about people living in large cities just using public transportation instead for their daily commutes. Perhaps I’m totally wrong on the relative scale of that

It’s not that all car sales happen in Tokyo (far from it) and there’s a lot of Tesla’s etc, but why buy a car that you would only be able to use for a daily commute and not for trips that go much further than that?

10kwh according to Google gets you like 80km. That’s pretty minuscule and would preclude even short weekend trips.
Are you arguing in favor or against PINs for in-store purchases? I interpret the first point as in-favor, but I suspect you meant it as against...
My sister came back home from UK to Croatia for a couple of years but didn't want to teach her kid Croatian insisting he should speak English (as they eventually went back to UK).

This was a terrible choice - he couldn't socialise with local children (preschool age) and is severely underdeveloped in that area, plus his vocabulary isn't that developed as the only place he heard English was at home.

Maybe the Swedish policy works for school age children, but preschool - I very much doubt it without special education programs.
That was a nice read well done!
3.5 GPA and enrollment in Algebra I in 8th grade. Admissions are geographical because the school is a public school in Fairfax County, though students from neighboring counties can apply and attend.

Of course GPA isn’t flawless. You’ll find that activists also seek to solve pipeline problems at lower grades. But this is a rapid retreat from “an objective measure is obviously better” to “this specific measure is better than proposed alternatives.”

Using exam score cutoffs was discussed. Generally, people prefer gpa to exams because there isn’t the same explicit cottage industry of exam prep (yes, private tutoring obviously exists) and it includes a wider range of material than what is included on the test. Exam score cutoffs was also deemed unacceptable and similarly called racist and destructive by the same opponents of the proposed policy.
Yet they don't even SAY that if you're not in one of those countries.
