Me doxing myself in an anonymous forum doesn't make discussion any better if everyone else is anonymous. It just opens me up to real life attacks.

Plus, honestly non-anonymous discussion of controversial subjects might actually be worse. You still get maximally aggressive interpretation, but you actually know each other so you can lose real friends.

Discussing anything on the internet that makes anyone feel emotional is just a bad thing no matter how you do it. That's why I'm completely fine with censoring anyone with violent views I disagree with. Get them off the internet first, then maybe someday everyone else will get off too.

Also I'm aware I'm being a hypocrite right now just by responding here. I'm supposed to be working. Like I said, the internet is just bad and my hypocrisy is proof of it.
"Spreading pandemic is not considered a constitutional right" - Supreme Court

https://twitter.com/michaelharriot/status/143206991839719424...
Why?

I find the answer in most cases is worries over personal judgement.

More of us quit doing that and more people will have that conversation.

I usually lead with, "ignore the talking heads on TV."

Worked wonders for me. I enjoy politics and culture again as do others I talk to.

The other basic worry is inability to manage a conversation coupled with the idea of ideology being the means to better ends rather than the reasoning tool it really is. A person who maintains one ideology, sans a working understanding of others, will feel threatened when its merit is challenged.

Fact is we have many solutions to the problems we face with no requirement they all conform to a single ideological frame.

> but in reality Windows 10 has been incredibly reliable

True, but it depends on which component. For a year it couldn't sort and move symbols on the desktop without bugs.

On some systems there is a "Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry" process that will take all your CPU. Don't know, MS could farm bitcoins for all we know.

There are a lot of small issues, but yes, overall it got more dependent, although I think Win7 was stable as well.

Still, overall it doesn't really improve, it mostly gets worse. The infestation with ads shouldn't be allowed in any operating system. These are ideas from guys Steve Jobs warned us about.
I agree 100% with your last paragraph. And, I was surprised by the age of this judgement! Wiki says: Decided May 27, 1946

Stargate SG-1 was such an amazing TV series. I literally spent most part of my youth with watching Stargate and playing Starcraft. I don't believe Cheyenne mountain is for anything better then hosting the Stargate command ;-)
But is it really necessary in the scale that YouTube does it? Or would word-of-mouth (and light SEO) take you far enough to reach your audience?
Seems that the idea is to implement vscode APIs and use the vscode plugin host and backend system for extensibility.
> [...] but despite the best efforts by the conservative [...]

Those efforts were actually pretty half-hearted. They talked a big game, but they don't actually want to abolish it. (Reminds me of how the UK doesn't really want to face up to a no-deal Brexit, despite lots of brave talk. Or how no government in the UK has so far re-nationalised the railroads, despite re-nationalisation perennially polling high with the general public.)
There are more ways than devil's advocate to have conversations.

Yes, but crazy you have to come out and say this.

Limiting speech means there are plenty of rational opinions we would otherwise miss, options, solutions. It reminds me of that NASA satellite caught throwing away useful data at the system level. If you start editing deeper and deeper eventually you start to throw out important solutions.

We need to keep the solution space as big as possible.

You are completely true about China, and the bipartisan cooperation Switzerland is working on must cease. But alas, it’s not the trend.

I've been keeping an eye on onivim for a long time and think it has a lot of potential. Last time I tried it it still had too many rough edges to try and use as a daily driver, though.
Thanks for the additional explanation! Could you give a short definition of what you mean by "pedagogical development"?
Show HN: Wave, iOS Opensea App
I used largish (GPT-2 and similar) models to build an app discovering Category Entry Points (a marketing thing around the things people are thinking about when they decide they need to buy a particular product) for specific product categories.

It was very successful.

I've actually been putting some of the CTA methods mentioned in the Oxford Handbook to practice! See: https://commoncog.com/blog/john-cutlers-product-expertise/ for one accounting; I'm currently trying it out with an international Judo coach right now, on technique analysis. (We can't meet due to COVID, since I cannot fly to him, so what I want is to extract his ability to perform video analysis, so that I can perform it on myself and on other competitors).

If I were to summarise why the CTA/Oxford Handbook approach is more tractable, it is this: you don't 'stumble' into a way to deliberately practice something — you do 'pedagogical development'. But pedagogical development is hard! One of the things that I've found most perplexing about Ericssons's work is that, in Peak, he provides an accounting of a skill domain (memorisation competitions) that experienced pedagogical development during his time. Thanks to that pedagogical development, DP techniques could be used in the domain. But he spent no time talking about the pedagogical development!

So I've concluded that it's simply too hard to do good pedagogical development. Better to adopt CTA methods, which already work, and use those to design training programs for myself.

And while it's too early to tell (check back in a few years) I think it's more fruitful.
> Lots of defi has no counterparty risk. Much of it is over collateralised and managed by smart contacts.

There is no such thing as overcollateralization. Higher levels of collateral are required against higher levels of risk. If one party is required to post "excess" collateral, that's because the risk is greater than whatever you think it is.

The very fact that certain DeFi projects dealing in things like stablecoins require obscene collateral is proof that there is tremendous risk...and the high levels of collateral are an attempt to mitigate some of that.
I really hope that we will get a libc-free Linux target. Mustang/rsix looks like a great step in this direction, similarly to steed (https://github.com/japaric/steed) before it. But I think that ideally it should be done properly in Rust proper, not in outside projects. Here a relevant issue, but there is not much progress on it: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/2610
"For the most part, US foreign policy broadly pretends to promote and spread those values"

I think is more accurate. I'm not sure it matters if China is opposed to my basic values but doesn't do anything about it, and the US isn't opposed to my basic values, but kidnaps and tortures me for a few years because I've grown a beard and went on a pilgrimage to Pakistan.
Sadly in rust. Only know C.
Your distinction holds no water. The end result is cancelling someone from the economic system for political cause. That happens in the US as well, in an identical manner. In practice it has happened on a much grander scale in the US than in this instance.
I'm from Germany, don't worry about US bias.

And I think it's fair that people in Germany are not allowed to deny that the Holocaust has happened. Call it whatever you like but remembering this monstrosity is the least thing we can do and far-right idiots don't need to have a platform for telling otherwise.
Well, as anyone can and will publish, it will be stuffed with junk, porn, trash of all sorts, so my plan was to implement a filter to ignore any data published outside of one’s WOT.

Furthermore, a user searching for “reviewed” data and papers would normally filter for items with enough “endorsement” metadata items signed by known WOT actors.

I haven’t figured a mechanism to prevent “review rings”, although being totally transparent it should be easy to spot them.
I'm using Vim and VSCode+Vim side by side. They both work well. Though the Onivim sounds cool, it's unclear to me how they would fit in the spectrum.
Thank you to post.

Real question (zero trolling): What are the rules around here (implicit or explicit) about reposting / quoting? Sometimes, I am bit nervous to repost the whole thing. I don't see it often on HN. Maybe @dang can provide some insight.
Neither.

I'm not too worried about warming for the same reason. I am still worried about increased CO2 levels and their health effects.

Why not just write a Vim plugin for VSCode then though? Which already exists.
The problem isn't only with being outright blocked, the problem is also that some topics trigger immediate outrage and can't be discussed openly.

For example, try talking about a need for safe spaces for X, and you will immediately get abuse from random strangers complaining that you aren't thinking about Y.

Or try saying anything about treatment Z side effects. You'll be downvoted and insulted for not sufficiently trusting the science.

Some discussions just work better in a less open, moderated forum, where people will try to engage with you, rather than having an angry internet mob materialize out of thin air whenever their trigger topic is mentioned.
It's unfortunate that any criticism of the patent ecosystem gets immediately shot down by 'You are not a lawyer', The impact of the flawed patent system affects everyone and so anyone can point it out.

At the end of the day, the SEC is bought and paid for by the banks. They are essentially an HR department for banking execs. E.g. How many bank execs went to prison after the great recession? And where were the "Howey test" type threats from the SEC when it was actually needed?

Coinbase offering interest bearing assets is taking business away from the banks. Hence, the SEC will be used as guard dogs by the banks to at the very least slow them down.

Is Mastodon federated in practice? I’m a member of several but they are all independent.
Yes it’s like that. Mastodon has the same thing going on, where the main index from their official site and the biggest instances won’t peer with you (let your users and theirs interact in each other’s instances) unless you implement their rules and moderation requirements in your instance. For mastodon what that means is that instances that aren’t progressive/far left aren’t welcome and are essentially not viable because they have no user base or network effects to seed their community with.

If the alternative is being harassed by the police it's not voluntary.
That depends. Let's say a company wants to sell me an electric vehicle but lease the batteries. I might go for that. Given the way batteries wear out and their expense, it might work out better to pay for them over time while getting periodic upgrades as new tech emerges or the old batteries wear out.

That said, even an electric car wears out. The paint fades, the plastic oxidizes... it's not like I'd expect a modern car to last forever, but I still do favor ownership.

Australia is still the same 'lucky country' written about over 50 years ago [0]. A second rate political and economic system survives on the back of huge unearned benefits - vast natural wealth, a comparatively small population, multi-culturalism, distant from war and most environmental issues, etc.

The result is still a very attractive place - lots of resources, educated people, safe, little poverty comparatively, etc. But people take it for granted and its sleep walking into a Corporatocracy with fast growing wealth gap.

"Latin alphabet" is ambiguous, you understood this to mean "the classical Latin alphabet", I was sloppy and meant "the set of letters in the Latin alphabets that make up the Latin script". Now it's my turn to call you out for a very strained sense because in contrast "Latin script" is well defined and I see you are straying away from the definition for some reason.

ø, ç, ß and ő are definitely part of the Latin script.¹ Any Latin letter was added to the set at some point in time; the definition makes no special distinction for this fact.

> here's Russian Cyrillic for "restaurant": PECTOPAH

That's not how scripts work. Those are Latin look-alikes (homoglyphs). These are the correct letters: РЕСТОРАН

Just because the letters have a common ancestor, it does not mean they are the same today.

> a way in which Russian writing differs from Latin script, but Danish writing doesn't?

Russian uses the Cyrillic script (specifically Cyrillic letters from the Russian alphabet), Danish uses the Latin script.² The scripts are distinct sets. It's quite tautological when I write it that way, but I don't know how else I can makeself understood.

¹ In a technical sense, we are constrained here on this Web site by communicating within the confines of Unicode. You could look up the properties of "ø" and see that it is indeed a letter in the Latin script: `\p{General_Category=Letter}` `\p{Script=Latin}` Currently, there are 1335 registered in this set product. The properties don't come from nowhere: Unicode merely codifies what was already linguistically/sociologically agreed upon beforehand. IMO the standard is not quite as expressive as e.g. me sitting next to you with pencil and paper, but good enough for most practical purposes.

² As always, there are exceptions for niche uses and because human language is a messy concept, but we can ignore that and concentrate on the broad strokes. An example for an exception would be that names mentioned in a Latin script embedding are typically transliterated/adapted instead of remaining in Cyrillic, e.g. "Puschkin"/"Puškins"; that's a Russian word, but written in Latin.
Okay, I'll admit I was too harsh initially, you and I are certainly both interested in this topic, and I suppose I'll keep reading as you write more about your exploration here. :)

They fear democracy for the same reason the US used to fear communism: because it is an incompatible system and political party. Are Democrats and Republicans truly that much different besides some differences in policy platforms? They are two separate factions vying for the role of who can govern better, but people these days aren't really looking too closely at results and just voting based on factionalism. China's system is more top-down control, and thus risks failure if the top is corrupted. I think it's probably less tenable long term, but I also don't believe it needs a finger to tip it over the edge.

You've probably been fed propaganda that legitimacy comes from democracy, but it does not. Democracy has long been seen as the least worst of any system for Americans. It is only as legitimate as those of use who fight to defend it, because freedom isn't free, and neither is our system: democracy.

Ultimately legitimacy comes from whether people fight for their government and defend their way of life, regardless of however wrong you may think it is. What is the legitimate government of Vietnam, Afghanistan? Clearly the the US-backed democratic government in Afghanistan is now going the way of illegitimacy (because no one cares enough to support it), despite being fully democratic. It's illegitimate because neither the US aid, weaponry, training, was able to get its democratic supporters to care enough to fight for their way of life. If people had to fight for what government they wanted (democracy, dictatorship, monarchy, oligarchy), and a foreign nation comes in and props one of these up with advanced weaponry and military force, and still fails, is it still legitimate just because it was a Democratic government?
