What doesn't sit right with me is that a lot of this stuff is becoming very polarized. The same thing happened with Parler, when AWS et al just decided that it was too toxic to do business with and suspended the platform's infrastructure.

It seems to me that nobody on either side wants to tolerate freedom of speech. When you see something you don't like, the answer is tolerance, not "This person/thing/company" should go away and never come back. I'm just starting to see it far too often where something gets "cancelled" because it makes some subset of people uncomfortable. Inevitably the pendulum will swing the other way, and those who engage in this kind of activity aren't going to like the precedent they've set.
Surprised to see it getting to the front-page, but yeah, most countries miss a lot because of lack of small, affordable cars.

Most of EU, and especially larger, expensive cities have a taste for small cars, and equally so friendlier regulations for them.

Most of the developing world drives Suzukis, no challenge to that. Extremely cost optimised cars, very close to what Toyota did in eighties, but since discontinued.
What crime? The new Texas law is civil, not criminal.
I see. The pedagogy is flawed if it's raising that question without answering it, but not for raising the question at all; the unfortunate truth of at least living in the US is she's going to deal with a lot of assholes who believe those sorts of things. It's not at all inappropriate to prepare students for that by arming them with better answers.

I also went to school in Virginia. The old way of teaching (at least in our school) was to pretend these factors didn't exist at all. This was incongruous with the way people were treated outside school, and led some to wonder what the school was hiding. Kids are perceptive, and they notice if there's a giant hole in what you're allowed to talk about.
Ask HN: What’s a simple habit or change you’ve made to be healthier?
Karma's for spending. Once I accepted that, my posts got way better, and the number still goes up.
Fascinating how they've expanded in size and engine displacement over the years. That seems common for any category of item meant to be minimal: people think, "If we could only add a little more x..." and then in a few years it's time for a new minimal.
This is fake news. We all know that social contagion like this doesn’t hapen, the trans rights activists have made that clear
Religious arguments about 'good' and 'evil' are exactly what the people you disagree with are doing.
The article mentions one danger of potential misdiagnosis: the medications for treatment of Tourette's, if applied incorrectly, have sometimes severe side effects.

But one other danger from this phenomenon is the overuse of already-stretched-thin counselors and therapists. If you've tried to acquire any mental health services over the past year... every counselor and organization seems severely overloaded and under-staffed.
I don't think it's your problem. There is something shitty going on. There are new tools that people want. But they are mostly old tools combined together with Python and parsing Yaml. Nobody asks about the basics that are the base for the "new" tools. Which is a pity, cause most of the time, if you know those basics, you have no problem with those new tools. No one asked me ever about the main problem of softdev - how you organise your work and workspace. In the last 15 years, stuff got a lot easier, not harder. But getting a job became harder. There is no shortage of workes - salaries should go down, but didnt. During the pandemic it got worse. I would say that people in a lot of places are fighting for their own survival and they have dig themselvs in "trenches". Recruiters are also making money on finding best fit - if companies would start to educate people that dont fit, recruiters would lose their jobs.

On the other hand, does any one knows how to find an IT company organized at least like an average warehouse?
I've worked from micro, through medium to big IT companies looking for a well structured, organized IT company or how to find one. An average warehouse is better organized the most IT companies. People in a grocery store have better work ethics then in an average IT company.Those are my observations. Agile after what I saw is an excuse for chaos and incompetence. Never I have seen a company using any flavour of Agile and being organised at the same time.

Nobody, when applied to non-IT company, would close me in an empty room with a big wallscreen and no fucking big head would shout on me during interview. This happend to me in a big well known Berlin startup. Such shit happend to me many times during my interviews.
Another thing, the non office worker has better regulated and protected job. the office workers are treated today like XIX century workers I would say. Non regulated work time, overtime, burnout is normalized. This shit ain't normal.
I suspect your last sentence is going to offend some people.

There are a lot of people who don’t feel strongly gendered, I’m one of them, and I suspect you are too from that sentence. Seeing gender as a social role makes sense to us.

However, there are other people who do feel strongly gendered, and for them gender isn’t just a social role but part of their core identity. I suspect at least half of cis folks and nearly all trans folks fit into that group.
It looks awfully similar to me. In both cases these are private entities that allow users to confidentially submit tips about potentially illegal behavior. And the "medical procedures" bit discussed below seems like a pretty blatant deflection. If someone were doing back-alley kidney transplants, would anyone really object to that being reported to Crime Stoppers? Or perhaps more plausibly, someone illegally performing FGM on their child?

Just sayin, it's not a _completely_ unimaginable situation. If the FBI was somehow able to access to those delete logs..

Anecdotal: One year my brother was coming back from spring break and there was a sign that said "drug checkpoint 1 mile." right before an exit. Everyone that got off at the exit got searched.
There were some strict laws on emissions passed about 20 years ago which led many Japanese car manufacturers to focus on reducing particulate pollution levels. Diesel engines are still used, but are rare compared to petrol because you need relatively expensive filters to meet the new requirements on a diesel.
I'm not asking you to "believe" in anything. There are just some companies where you can take 4-6 weeks off and some companies where you can't, and which one you're in depends on which team you work on and who your manager and HR rep is more than what they claim their PTO plan is.

I hypothetically have almost 5 weeks of days off at my current job and between not having much vacation options because of pandemic and not wanting to just be lazy at home, I haven't used most of it. Should someone from HR just tell me I'm not allowed to work in December now?

> a singular device is needed to interact with society

Not only are we racing towards that future extremely rapidly[1], you have described what will happen when everything works correctly! Risk is transitive, so we are also creating a future where those interactions with society stop functioning* if the smartphone/internet features they depend upon fail. (I've written more in a recent comment[2])

[1] I already have frequent problems at the local healthcare center. They already assume everyone has a smartphone and specific brands of video chat. I now have to drive ~30min into a different city if the doctor wants lab tests; their in house Quest franchise de facto requires using your own smartphone to check in! Also, snitching your data to the insurance company has been a standard feature on most CPAP machine for years.

Not to mention that its legality is based off a novel mechanism of crowd sourcing enforcement.

In other words roe v wade is the law of the land, so they make a law that’s clearly in violation of it, but with a novel enforcement mechanism. Now the issue is challenging this in court, which is strange and weird because of the enforcement mechanism.

Put another way, let’s say California passes a law banning the purchasing of guns, but enforces that law by allowing neighbors to bring suit and shielding defendants from collecting legal fees if they prevail.

You can pretty much use this technique for anything if it’s allowed. Basically it’s opening a legal Pandora’s box.
>However there's now significant research showing to not do that. Here in Sweden immigrant parents are actively encouraged to speak their mother tongue at home and not try to help their children by speaking Swedish, because it's counterproductive.

Won't this cause the situation Estonia has with the Russian-speaking minority? Enough immigrants banded together to create Russian-speaking communities. Many of them never learned any Estonian as a result, because they didn't feel they needed to. Most people in stores spoke Russian, they put their kids into a Russian speaking school etc.

The end result is that there are many people in Estonia that have lived here almost their entire lives, but cannot speak Estonian at all. This makes their lives more difficult: from finding a job to getting a better education to dealing with bureaucracy.

Even if you send your kids to an Estonian speaking school it causes issues. They'll suffer academically - imagine doing school effectively in a foreign language. It would make a kid want to go to school even less. In that case you're effectively handicapping their future.

I'm not sure that some minor cognitive advantages are worth the risk of not assimilating.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean%E2%80%93Nogai_slave_ra...

Same register as the vastly more mediatized Atlantic slave trade. This raises a fundamental question: Is it possible to mend centuries of abject & violent abuse across racial lines, where the most common interaction with members of the other racial group was through a slaver's whip. Not sure that 'do better' scolding, especially if inconsistently applied, is sufficient.
Legal and moral definition of piracy vary.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_piracy

Unfortunately, if you don't have permission to download then you may be committing piracy. In this case, entire countries apparently don't have permission.

If the system is guessing location based on IP address, then granting permission based on that guess, then I expect their permission grant should be valid. How would a user know that they have bugs in their permission system?

If you connect directly first, are told "no", then bypass the system with a VPN: You probably understand that you aren't supposed to have access.

What will happen if you commit this type of piracy? I don't think there's a loss of revenue, or damages so pursuing pirates likely isn't worth it.

Obligatory, I am not a lawyer.
That's a good point, yes.
Not the person you responded to, but doing the same thing. Had tried NewPipe for a while and it was great at first, but at the time it would frequently crash and act janky in other ways that I can't quite remember now. The mobile site was just smoother, but it might be time to give it another try.

May GoDaddy be BDSed. May it hemorrhage customers until it reconsiders.
This is an interesting article, even if it suffers from giving voice almost only to the critics of this change. I would be interested in learning if there are also real experts who think the plan can work, and how.
The bombs in the mailboxes? Absolutely.
And this is why the knowledge provided by psychedelics has a lot of hype, but is useless and deceptive.

Muscaria is a latin name, not english, so ideally should be pronounced respecting how the taxonomist used it instead to mess with the sounds for no purpose apart of introducing a lot of noise to distort a language that was created to be universal.

Muscaria means relative to flies (musca in latin). Musca should be pronounced as moos (like in moon) and ca (like in California). Not like 'must scare'.
Mad God: What happens when the best practical VFX artist, ever, writes a film?
The only problem I have with it so far is that the future worlds’ wealthiest person made his fortune from a drupal consultancy, lol.
I tried something like that - E: YouTube Vanced - but apparently sideloaded it from the wrong place and nearly got my identity stolen.

Long story short, it tried to use my phone as a disposable phone number. For about a month I was getting messages from adult dating sites, verification numbers for all sorts of services, and a few phone calls from bitcoin banks trying to verify my ID. Had I given the app permission to read my text messages, it would have been a catastrophe. Fortunately, I didn't and nothing bad happened.
> This happens to "facts" with a conservative political slant, as well as "facts" with a liberal political slant.

Yes, we've all seen this "fair" fact checking. Hint, if the left is OK with it, the right is furious about it. You cannot be fair to both in a way that is accepting to liberals.

> Facebook has been caught out for tipping towards the conservative side of that scale, suppressing that penalty on some popular conservative pages

As they should, for both sides. But interestingly this makes my point even more. That everybody is quite aware of what censorship was about and is taking place. Yet they put on this falsity and get shills to help defend them because?

> To understand Facebook's behavior, it's useful to remember that their goal is growth and retention.

Right. They are censoring and aligning everybody on FB to the same thought process, which happens to be a majority of Americans.

> I suspect, based on observation of their behavior, that they've discovered for themselves that without those measures, growth and retention are being harmed more than they'e harmed via time-outs and fact-checking

When censorship is the result, do you think we should have more that a suspicion? What about the people on the right leaving? They don't seem to care about retaining those? Interestingly the people left align with the CEO's own political beliefs.
No, he shouldn't have been sacked. That the acceptability of this is even contemplated shows the extremism of woke moral elitism.
Well if everything is about racist white oppressors and colored victims, it could follow that some white people will want a country of their own where they don't have to oppress anyone or be called racist just for being white?
When I read the title I had the thought that someone had concocted some kind of adversarial neural network attack on humans that could be delivered by video, like in Neil Stephenson’s Snow Crash.

Reminds me of this oddity: https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/jumping-frenchmen-of-...

Are there such things as mimetic diseases? We have definitely seen that alarmingly insane quasi-cults like Qanon or flat Earth can spread entirely via social media, so that isn’t too far away. The jump would be to something not requiring conscious thought or belief at all, something that fully bypasses the neocortex.

If that is actually possible I can see a future where everyone runs smart content filters (maybe AI powered) and curated whitelists before viewing things. Maybe there could be mental techniques for handling “cognitive hazards” that could be learned too. I feel like some mystical traditions have inklings of that like “visualize a white light around you” or “as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” Maybe that stuff fires up some anti-malware in your brain.

The main problem I got out of the article was that the stateful timezone of the entire process does not get set until `time.Format` gets called. I think that's a legitimate criticism - which part made you think that `reflect.DeepEqual` is at fault?
I remember first hearing about the JWST in elementary school. Watching it get closer and closer to launch honestly feels like the end of an era.
IMO it's closer with the blitzchung and nba controversy with china lately. They have possibility of losing other customers when they didn't do this.

Furthermore I believe GoDaddy has already assessed the potential loss, made customer comparison between both parties and concluded this is better financially.

EDIT: additionally, they may also compared the hosting plan with the spam attacks and PR attacks they get.

Personally and morally I don't know whether this is the right thing or not, but financially I believe this is.
The golden era of the internet ;-}

Wokeism has come to refer to a type of (basically religious) revival which is happening across the western middle class. it sometimes includes a political project of 'equality'.

Whether you like the term or not, it is very hard to simply deny the revolution in identity construction currently taking place.

Watch the latest CIA advert which emphasises neauvox-oppressed identity markers over. It emphases how the CIA allows you to 'be yourself' qua how you are a member of an oppressed group.

Whatever you want to call /that/, this is what
I am talking about.
I'm very surprised by Japan not being a big battery manufacturer already. Sure they do a lot business in battery materials, but so far none of Japanese battery makers seriously entered the automotive battery market on a scale of Chinese factories.

By my calculations, the horsepower limit, speed limit, emission penalties, and general size, and crash-worthiness requirements already make a 10-15kWh battery pack powered K car surely cheaper than an IC one.

And on top of that. Japanese who have cars drive really, really little, even by standards of similar countries with a lot of big cities close together. (South Korea being the biggest antipod, they really drive around a lot)
> I mean, has the author read like any American history?

They believe that it's the same outside America as well, so American history doesn't matter. E.g. Turks in Germany (who immigrated in the 60ies) don't achieve as much as native Germans after three generations => structural racism. Asian immigrants do quickly achieve as much and more than native Germans => more structural racism, I guess.
I'm wondering if people like you have grown up to be the people who break user interfaces needlessly, write cookie popups, integrate ads and telemetry, and force updates on things that don't need them.

In other words, did you grow out of your childish shenanigans or are you just getting paid for them now?
And defunding the police isn't nuts? It's not like the Woke left makes much more sense. Since when is a coherent political ideology a precondition to anything?

better to let those who want to see the list decode it themselves, than potentially expose someone to language that could deeply upset them. It's decisions like this that help make spaces like this unwelcoming to marginalized people.
But RSS is everywhere. I use it for so many blogs and sites, as do many others. And for sites that don't have RSS there are services to turn them into RSS feeds. You can turn newsletters into RSS feeds. You can have RSS in your email client. RSS is thriving.
My very first “school computer incident” was so innocent by comparison for most people.

I was maybe 11 and I was learning about batch files and I made one named win.bat that printed “hello”. Well I’m sure most folks know what happened next time the computer rebooted …hello hello hello hello hello…and the computer teacher said I had installed a virus and tried to kick me out of school. Luckily I was only expelled from computer class for the rest of the year.

No it's totally possible to use your own VCS and sync changes to another VCS. I don't know which tool you'd prefer but I used a git repository for my own work and synched it to a TFVC repository until my company switched to git. It sucked, because TFVC sucks but it's totally doable
GoDaddy isn’t saying “we don’t sell our service to Sikhs.”

They’re selling the service to everyone with the same terms, and the Texan group’s religious beliefs are irrelevant to their violation of the TOS.
As more of our lives have become intertwined with computing infrastructure, why shouldn't they be? If you routinely broke classroom resources or messed with the HVAC you'd probably be expelled too.

The core process that gives you the snallest sense of stability and control, the taskbar and startmenu, are still aspects of the operation system that Microsoft refuses or is too inept to update.

> When invited speeches from people such as Christine Lagarde, then head of the International Monetary Fund, were cancelled after student activists accused her of complicity in “imperialist and patriarchal systems”, the response was a collective shrug.

This is a straw man. People have been protesting the IMF nonstop since the 90s and I guarantee patriarchy is not the main thing they complain about.

Arguably the entire article is a straw man. Also where is the byline? Who wrote this?

The piece is too dumbed down to really touch on the most interesting aspect of academic identity politics, which is the quite intricate system of post-structuralist theory from which it emerged. The question of why this form of theory osmosed into the public sphere but not some of its competitors did not is more interesting.

Funny how as soon as an idea critical of the US and the mostly white mostly male people who have held power here gains prominence the Economist and its ilk seem to change their tune about the “marketplace of ideas”.
