Oh. I see. So when a computer system sends signals over a wire, if it represents "provably false statements", it's actually misinformation, and not information. All those 1s and 0s instantly switch from information to misinformation, the minute their final representative form embodies a "provably false statement".

Who decides what's provably false, by the way?

Are the novels of Tolkien "misinformation", since it could presumably be easily proved that the events described in them didn't actually happen?

And what is the burden of proof for "intent to deceive"? And in which court is this all decided?

Who decides? Just people in your group right? What ever your group happens to be. Sure hope we all worship your god then, because the other gods are all "Misinformation".

[3] poor and less stable ⇒ treat women badly

That is treating women poorly is not leading to being poor, but result of being poor.
Ech. I understand the general point OP is making but I don't mind admitting I see things differently. I am free to enter Joe's Cafe and do 99.9% of normal things one might do in any similar setting. But if I enter Joe's cafe and solicit my friends there that if they don't like the way Joe runs his cafe they should be aware of Lenny's Cafe, I feel that Joe has every right to stop me from doing that. To pedants: Yes, I know the analogy isn't perfect. But please don't pretent it isn't relevant.

This said, I remember when many MAGA friends announced they were leaving for Parler or MeWe or Gab and I never heard any of them claim their posts were removed (the ones who didn't leave right away).
My experience is I can more easily join earlier or later meetings with remote teams in other timezones when I wouldn't been able before due to the commute. I can also meet with people spontaneously when before you'd struggle to find a room (or you'd annoy your neighbors). This far outweighs the number of work related 'coffee machine' or 'hallway conversations' I ever had.
> If they were true Socialists

I'm amused by that statement. I've never known a Socialist who did not know what was best for everyone else, and consequently thought it should be forced on them.

Of course, I also know what is best for others. But I'm not willing to force it on them. People have a right to be stupid.
Maybe setup a custom 404 locally on a pi or something and redirect to that instead?
All communist countries promote equality between men and women, but magically their leadership circles almost(?) never include women.
A curious thing about programming is that it became prominent when English dominated academia (and computer science was extremely American.) Compare this to, for example, mathematics where:

- some words are loaned from another language like Eigenvector or group (sort of—I think it came from the French groupe). Also eg a blackboard-bold Z (for Zahlen) or Q (for quoziente) for integers or rationals

- other words are taken from the native language (eg rational or probability or field extension) though they may derive from Greek or Latin and have cognates in other languages.

- some symbols are quite universal and used in every language (eg the forall or exists or implies symbols)

- I don’t know whether letters that are typically used for things are the same (eg I don’t know why density is often rho. Is it referring to a word in a different language)

- the proofs are written in the native language and often that part matters a lot.

- so much stuff is named after people so words don’t need to be translated (eg noetherian domains or Cauchy–Schwarz)

- I wonder if some theorems get different names? (I assume in China they don’t call it Chinese remainder theorem)
In case you use pihole and want to use cloudflare for everything, but archive.is you can create the following file

Bride price can be a benign custom in otherwise normal marriages as long as you're not literally buying the woman. If it's accompanied with the bride's family helping outfit the spousal home, it's basically a wash and smarter than giving the money to DeBeers.
Seems like roughly the same difference between a malware keylogger and say, X11. They both intercept all your keystrokes, but you wanted the latter one to do so and didn't want the former.

> They don’t do a very good job of defining what “treat women badly” means

In the first(!) paragraph it was mentioned. It was actually the very first sentence in that paragraph: “A woman who drives a car will be killed,” says Sheikh Hazim Muhammad al-Manshad.

If you want to be pedantic about it, then yes, it's not mathematically defined what "treating women badly" means. But the very first sentence should give you a clue what they're talking about.
Which of these problems can be fixed by using an ad blocker?
> Consider just rolling your own component showcase. You can do it in a day and probably get a much cleaner and more straightforward static site out - all you really need is a sidebar and then display areas hooked up to buttons.

It gets more complicated when you want to let people play with the component's props/parameters from within the GUI. I hand-rolled one of these once and was able to use a library that scraped prop info from our React PropTypes automatically and put it into a JSON file, but it was fiddly and eventually broke when we started using TypeScript. I don't know if something better exists now (or how Storybook solves this), but it's a hard problem. And it's not just about gathering metadata: you have to dynamically set aside a piece of state for each prop that hooks in accordingly. Sometimes, like with value/onChange, you need to hook two different props together into the same piece of state. Etc.

I suppose you could just hand-code all the controls for each component, but at that point it seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth (especially the ongoing maintenance burden every time one of the base components changes)
I think the question asked on SE "On which country are the creators and servers of archive.today / archive.is based?" incurs not a 'who is he', but 'should I trust them based on their national allegiance'. A similar idea could be presented of large Twitter misinformation accounts that have influenced the 2016-2020 (and future) elections - they're not open about their identity, but the actions they're doing most people would disagree with, so most would decide that it is morally justifiable to go digging for clues to find the source of the misinformation.

For archive.is, it's lower-stakes, but you might not be able to trust the site as an authoritative source in $x years should (for example) their home government take it over and strategically modify archives for their own purposes.
Elsewhere at their own expense? Yea that's gonna be a no from me.

You're proving my point. You don't find the idea of natural rights convincing. That's exactly what I wrote. The problem is that, in your framework, there will always be a good reason to violate people's rights. "If we don't spy on people, the terrorists will blow us up" sounds silly today but it convinced people after 9/11. As did "we have to torture these people to prevent a terrorist attack".

I agree with you that this is linked to a distinction between humans and animals. The fact that we no longer find that distinction convincing is linked to the fact that we no longer find natural rights convincing.

Wow, that’s a significant return. I used to have a blog in which I wrote technical content, and the traffic was considerably more than 25,000 per month. I only spent money on that, never made a cent.

It did help me get jobs, but I can’t say with certainty that it got me better jobs than I would have without it. I’ve done far better since without a blog attached to my name.

Anyway, that’s a lot of money to make off of something I associated with costing money.

I think folks really do not understand the difference between Verizon calls (regulated under common carrier rules) and Facebook (a social network).

Facebook claims to be a social network. Those types of networks normally DO NOT allow you to promote other social networks.

Even review platforms which are a bit more communication in nature block posting other sites reviews.
> This is the equivalent of telling people “why are you working at a job, why don’t you work on hobby projects instead”

This is literally what people do sometimes. I released two decently successful freemium apps and get regularly one-liners in reviews and e-mails like this:

- 1/5* Bad app! Feature XYZ costs money and I won't buy PRO [~4USD] just for it.

- 1/5* Make it fully free and I will give you 5 stars!

- Please send me your source code.

HN posts and comments aren't that impudent but it's unfortunately often the same lack of perspective. You'll read here walls of text about how the web nowadays sucks because of ads and tracking without any consideration of the fact that publishers rely on this form of monetization. The most popular "solution" here is just blocking ads via pi-hole etc. and creates a good example for the tragedy of the commons[1]. It becomes an arms race between ad-blockers and ad-providers and makes everything even worse. This makes the appeal to stop using medium even more ironic. Medium is at least trying to create a sustainable online publishing platform that doesn't need classical online ads to survive.

Yes. It doesn't cost them anything to censor simply mentioning the word 'Mastodon' since they can do it anyway and it sounds like a weak version of anti-competition.

What you're really looking for is what happened to Parler which looked like a serious act of anti-competitive behaviour which showed the true brutish nature of these large companies destroying an alternative social network.

That was a much worse form of 'anti-competitive behaviour' than this.

CIDR notation is how you notate these; Apple owns 17.0.0.0/8; the /8 meaning "8 bits identify the network portion", so just the first octet, or the 17.

Coincidentally, CIDR doesn't conflict with the HN comment syntax.

Sometimes shortened to 17/8, but… I wouldn't recommend that.

Due to macOS not supporting Vulkan and other stuff required for Proton, it's been on the backburner for support from Valve for a while. Portal 2 can't even run on macOS anymore since it is 32-bit only. Most games work how they would on Windows when running under Proton vs a native port, you should try it on a Linux machine when you have time.
I'm along time Firefox user, and frankly I couldn't be happier.

Because once you start claiming that certain subsets of abortions are bad, you start to open up inconvenient conversations that erode Roe v Wade and then it would be an actual debate instead of a foregone conclusion for the left.

Haha, interesting thought. For example if I have a bunch of dollars to spend on promoting renewable energy and such, how cost-effective is it to just... buy an oil well and sit on it? I mean, it will raise the price of oil, thus pushing people to develop better substitutes. And it has a certain beauty in not requiring any government involvement, private people can do this just fine. But it will also make current oil producers richer, and increase their incentive to find new oilfields (if only to sell them to you).

So that's the most direct way to interpret "keeping carbon in the ground", and I'm not sure it makes sense. Is there another way that makes more sense?

That argument works both ways - some people who like remote will do all sorts of mental gymnastics to defend WFH when presented with evidence that it isn't ideal.

>> 1.1.1.1 is delivered across Cloudflare’s entire network that today spans 180 cities. We publish the geolocation information of the IPs that we query from. That allows any network with less density than we have to properly return DNS-targeted results.

Cloudflare makes an exception to this rule for Archive.{today,is,...} domains.
All requests for this domains come from Amazon EC2 in the U.S., not the 180 edges of Cloudflare.

I think Medium works better with JS disabled, I don't remember seeing any paywalls there since I started to browse with JS disabled by default.
The main argument behind pro-choice is that a fetus isn't a person. Otherwise abortion would mean killing people.

If you really believe your analogy of firing people is a good one, then you have already recognized the aborted fetus as a person.
I think it's specifically driven by the management population. Individual contributors don't seem to feel too strongly about how their coworkers want to work (remote vs. in-office). But there seems to be a large effort by managers in general to get everyone back into the office, often without any supporting evidence for why that is a good option to force upon people.

This study is not good evidence against remote work. If anything, this study is just confirming what we already know - that is, remote work happens differently (synchronously vs asynchronously).

I've said it before and so have others: the push to bring everyone back into the office is in my opinion, representative of management's own insecurities.
Most radiation on the UV spectrum is filtered by the atmosphere. Less than 5% of radiation with less than 300 nm reaches the ground.
Also, UV radiation is mutagenic.

> not enough to make evolutionary pressure

At cellular level, plants and animals have several mechanisms to avoid and repair damage caused by UV radiation. Maybe the evolutionary pressure was to NOT see UV light!
Many companies want disaster recovery and multi-region deployments without the capital expenses required to deploy this themselves.

I don't want to have to buy hardware from a vendor, find cabinet space, negotiate peering and power agreements, deal with 3am alerts for failed NICs, or hear about someone spending hours freeing up disk space while waiting on new drives to arrive.

I want the benefit of all these things, but I'd rather pay a premium for it over time than deal with the upfront capital expenses.
I think the serious issue around this would be not so much that a person in a secure email conversation can easily send a plaintext email, but that a person who does that could also easily include a plaintext copy of the entire rest of the formerly-secure conversation through automatic quotation.
Relatively trivial. In other words compared to the rest of the infrastructure and billing system this is nothing.
You can still do routing at DNS-level as long as you have a less dense infrastructure than Cloudflare.

Apologies, clearly my understanding of XMPP is not the best.

However, both points you mentioned are client dependent, right?
Some basic stats about vaccinations using Israel:

+ Their double dose vaccination rate for adults is ~90%.

+ Their death rate per million is ~4 people/day.

+ Their ICU rate is ~25 per million.

+ They are doing third and fourth booster shots.

+ For the US those numbers would be ~1300 deaths per day and ~8000 ICU beds occupied.

This is what going fully open with current vaccines and indefinite booster shots looks like until everyone susceptible dies.

Anyone arguing for stopping work from home is arguing for 500,000 dead Americans a year as a good trade off for 'innovation'.

I find this somewhere between unconscionable to genocidal.

The wording "abortion specifically against women is bad" is ambiguous. It could be taken to mean either, "aborting girls is bad, and aborting boys is not bad," or, "selectively aborting girls but not boys is bad."

The discussion thus far is consistent with the possibility that each participant has taken the phrase to mean something different.
>They’re portrayed as tragically ridiculous players vying for power and positive public image who’ll drop their “principles” at the drop of a hat if it suits them

And that cynical portrayal of politics is itself part of the exact ideology that Thatcher tried to promote, so I don't really see why you think that contradicts OPs point. It's like the joke that Reagan used to repeat "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help". It wasn't an actual self-demeaning joke, the intention was to demean governance itself at every moment possible.
My initial reaction to this was to think, “heresy!” SB has been amazing for developing components in isolation and setting up a design system. Then I thought it over. Yeah, the great thing is implementing a design system and developing components in isolation, not SB. And it’s not hard to set up a bespoke system to develop components in isolation. Setting up custom tooling in SB was possible, but was certainly made a lot harder by the fact that I had to jump through their hoops. And then I think about how many times they’ve changed the format for defining a component story over the years and I start to get annoyed. Yeah, next time around I might just roll my own.

Oh, and that “S” thing. Yeah, I hit that. Grr.
I don’t think this erodes roe v wade. I don’t think “choosing to abort your pregnancy specifically because it was a girl is bad” rises beyond social condemnation and needs to be legislated.

There seems to be some sort of unspoken belief among anti abortion proponents that roe v wade and pro choice beliefs are built on the flimsiest of legal arguments and if we even squint at it wrong the whole thing will come tumbling down.

> I’m not trying to incite anything here though.

The constant instability can also be seen in Afghanistan, where a strong regime such as the Taliban can impose stability.

Where it gets hard, is what are the underlying reasons to the constant instability.

Simply telling people to 'Stop Using ABC' and 'Switch to XYZ' which the latter is more user unfriendly probably makes them stay and continue using ABC.
