The fundamental problem of online "discourse" is that critical thinking is applied selectively according to emotional biases, not that participants are intellectually incapable of it. Malicious actors, doubly so. An attempt to control that can only devolve into testing for the "correct bias", and communities with sufficient moderator:post ratio or upvote/downvote type community moderation already perform that sort of self-selection.

As for monetary fees - demographic skew aside, that would significantly reduce the overall user population the more you charge, so a malicious actor would need correspondingly fewer sock-puppets to create the appearance of X% of the population saying Y, limiting its effectiveness as a deterrent. Amplifying minority views by a large factor or seeding new claims/statements doesn't require that many unique accounts in the first place.

Yeah no, they simply had a bad alternative implementation which could have been just as fast as the licence incompatible library call:

> non-bfd, without patch: 7m59s
> non-bfd, with patch: 15s
> bfd: 15s

-- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=911815#38

The same could have happened due to other reasons for alternative implementation, that range from availability of more than one implementation with different advantages and disadvantages, different OS the code needs to run on, or simply preference.

Blaming the license in this case is just short-sighted and with the wording used it just shows a bias of yours against the GPL, but not actual will to participate in a meaningful discussion on the linked thematic.
Yes, I mentioned an easily recognizable dark time in the US, that happened to parallel to an exact and opposite and well-known dark time in half of Europe. But I don't think the times before were all that light either.

My point is that, as far as I know, the kind of freedoms and political neutrality the West enjoyed between 1980s to 2010s were a short-lived anomaly. Implied in that was an observation that we're on a downslope now and I agree with 'OneEyedRobot that we're not enjoying much of that neutrality today.

Some non-german person posted a picture of Angela Merkel and highlighted how incredible she is and humble and all the good work she did and how she should be an example for their own (the posters) country and other politicians in the world.

The result: Lots of people agreed with the overall sentiment and applauded her achievements... well, besides German LinkedIn users, many went full "Reddit" (on LinkedIn)... Many "not nice words were written" by people using their professional profile - it was surreal to see.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Used in the Business Area?
Given the track history of near nuclear accidents, attempting to dismantle all of the existing ones may be statistically more likely to cause an accident, simply in the dismantling process.

Nuclear weapons don't last forever and need to be dismantled/replaced at some point, so dismantling them all doesn't add additional risk as long as it's done over a long enough period that they would have needed to be replaced anyway.
Castle Bravo was the first weapon of its kind.

But moreover, many of those people likely died due to complications down the road. The US government has done a poor job of accurately tracking the deaths of even US service members years after their exposure to radiation. You might not die right then, but you'll live a significantly abridged life.

I think one key factor is that almost no one will expect glasses or sunglasses to also be cameras or video recorders.

Consider if you’re in a locker room, and today you see someone with their iPhone aimed at you, there’s a good chance they could be taking a picture or a video. Now you have to be concerned about whether or not their glasses or sunglasses are taking a picture or video of you.

I was commenting on how net worth estimates are done and who they are for. You are talking about a totally different subject. Ironically, if these net worth lists just serve the purpose of making your blood boil about inequality, even when the lists are wrong and way off, then you are actually part of the entertainment rationale of who these lists are for.

The fact is that "Warren Buffett paying more in taxes than his secretary" is the first thing you think of, instead of say... Bob Smith, a random generic unassuming American heir of a random slave trader who invested the proceeds in trusts and private equity funds. If they don't have publicly traded wealth, then the lists will be filled with the wrong people and the wrong amounts.
> do you know how many of them are unaccounted for?

Nuclear weapons have incredibly tight tolerances to be or remain viable, those tolerances degrade over time, so they require frequent maintenance in order to stay usable. Many have been "lost" over the last 70 years, sure, but few if any of them would actually still function without state-level expertise in maintaining them - the kind of capability which could just make new ones anyway.

Sure, they could still be used as fodder for "dirty bombs" but so could a lot of things and it's much less of a concern.
Ok, I don't know what are your belief and intuition about temporal causality that you need to suspend.

"The 'Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser' Neither Erases Nor Delays" - R. E.Kastner

She has published books on the foundations of quantum mechanics (not a experimentalist, though...).
Kimonos are not historically gendered clothing.

They’re basically t-shirts. The cut differs on men and women as a function of fashion, suitability to body type, and some formal rules (e.g. wearing a family crest historically made it a different kimono subtype).

There was a period during the late 20th century where kimonos were only in fashion for women (men wore western styles except at weddings) but both historically and presently kimonos are for men and women. Random people on the street who say differently are probably just misinformed about a culture they don’t live in.

Tying it back to the phrase used… this cultural dissonance is why it’s generally difficult to import phrases/metaphors from foreign cultures: people simply misunderstand you.
I’d always ask “How much are you eating?”
Whether this particular case would have been enforceable 50 years ago or not doesn’t undermine my point at all. Germany (like almost every other western democracy) has been slowly eroding freedom of expression liberties. However restrictive the country was 50 years ago, it’s more restrictive now, both as existing laws as applied to novel new speech suppression scenarios, and as new laws are created. As recently as 2017 (as far as I’m aware) Germany has been legislating new speech criminalizations (with the Network Enforcement Act), which was rather widely criticized for suppressing freedom of expression and the press.

That's quite a lot more than not seeing anything. Could be useful if your goal is to determine the number and type of occupants in the room before entering it. I could imagine all kinds of mischief bringers being interested in this.

As a bonus, if your keyhole is wide enough, I guess you could image static objects by moving the laser around.
Can you give an example? I’ve never heard of such a case. You might be thinking of scenarios where people are arrested and prosecuted for resisting arrest, making threats against police officer, or crimes of that nature.

There will be limits of what you can say to police before you also run afoul of laws against public nuisance. Just as you would not want a random person to shout epithets and slurs at you and follow you down the sidewalk talking trash at you, which may be a misdemeanor crime in some jurisdictions (like disturbing the peace), the same is likely true for police if you were to interact with them in that way.

I cannot imagine anyone being prosecuted for publishing criticism about the performance/behavior of individual officers during a police encounter after the fact, or publishing criticism of the police department in their city generally.

While interacting with police, if you are being detained, beyond providing any information you are required to provide by law, which differs by state and circumstance (such as if driving a motor vehicle) - know your rights and obligations - it is wise to say “I invoke my fifth amendment right to remain silent” in response to any questions; as a suspect there are only downsides to having a conversation with police as anything you say can be used against you in court. During an interaction with police is not a wise time for criticism of police in general, the department in particular, or the specific officers at the scene.

I remember this one time I went kayaking with this hipster manly man type that had a wierd looking purse-like waterproof bag.

It was obviously a prop for him so that people would ask about it so I played my part and asked him about it.

Sure enough, he replied "that's not a purse and I went on an adventure with it on the Amazon".

So I replied "Adventure purse it is, then! What kind of adventure was that, were you in danger at any point?"

> Nothing is objectively inoffensive.

Apparently not.

There's almost 0 chance that managers at Apple got the colloquialism wrong and were using it in any sort of sexual or racist way. And if they were, Ashley would have surely brought it to light. This was not a misunderstanding.

What happened here is that Ashley thought the term sounded offensive enough to weaponize, and so she did.

From the Slack reaction emojis, and from our own sibling HN comments, we can tell other people also feel grossed out by the "open kimono" phrase. Particularly people who have never heard it before.

The obvious conclusion is that the phrase just doesn't pass the vibe check in 2021, and no additional research is required. It sounds kind of old and maybe a little racist or sexist, so anyone that uses it needs to be called out, so we can erase this uncomfortable phrase from the tech lexicon. Problem solved?

The real problem is that adopting such a niggardly view of workplace language leads to precisely the type of in-group/out-group division and discrimination that people like Ashley claim to be fighting against. Of course, if it works, she ends up in the in-group with power because she knows the rules. The in-group is then free to exclude other cultures because they're seen as crude or offensive or somehow "less than" the enlightened rule makers of civil society.

"Keyhole Imaging" is only a catchy name for the technique. It works with any other opening, like a door crack for example, as long as you can shine a laser through it. I would expect that it is even possible to use an opening that is covered by a light diffusing material like paper or tape on the inside. Instead of measuring reflections from the far wall, light diffused by this material would be used instead.
I remember reading somewhere that your brain receives a disproportionate amount of blood flow (in terms of ratio of total volemia) when exercising.

This adaptation means that when you work out you increase blood flow to your muscles _and_ brain, this would have made sense in a primordial scenario where you would be hunting or fighting for your life.

The positive benefits described in the link could just be a cascade of consequences from this increased blood flow and exchanges.
I think the founders were just familiar with iOS development so that's what they built it in. My perspective is that RN is a risk and a tradeoff like any other, there are quite a lot of pain points of RN which make it less attractive than it initially seems upfront. If your product is highly dependent on mobile it's better to go native for maximum flexibility, capability and to remove one extra party that you need to depend on. I also feel like mobile teams tend to naturally divide between platforms at a certain size and if you're already at that point you may as well use the native frameworks.
It was, but then the web actually delivered on that promise, and people needed a web app anyways. Why make two apps when you can make only one?
I don't think anyone is interested in putting US nukes in Taiwan. Presumably US nukes are already in the area on US naval vessels. It doesn't really change the balance of power; the US isn't going to start nuclear war over Taiwan.

The more meaningful scenario is what happens when Taiwan gets its own nukes. Either developed domestically or acquired shrinkwrap ("POINT THIS SIDE AT ENEMY"). At that point it's out of US control, and you can imagine the Taiwanese would use them in an existential crisis.

Of course China (specifically, the CCP) wouldn't be happy about that. That's not the point.

Okay, I have (a bit) more details for you. I got a copy of the bill so I could check the exact wording, I am not a lawyer, just a concerned citizen but I am sure many of you are curious to know so I am sharing it.

First, to understand how this law amendment was introduced, it's important to understand the original act, called the "TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUSINESS ACT" which is the main act regulating the sector. Article 50 of this act defines a list of prohibited acts by market participants, and the related Enforcement Decree prescribes a number of punitive measures the Korean Communication Commission is allowed to take against entities found in breach of Article 50 (the measures range from corrective orders to penalties).

Here is the original article:

Article 50 (Prohibited Acts)(1) No telecommunications business operator may engage in any of the following conduct (hereinafter referred to as "prohibited acts") which undermine or are likely to undermine fair competition or users' interests, or allow other telecommunications business operators or third parties to engage in such conduct: <Amended by Act No. 13823, Jan. 27, 2016; Act No. 15858, Dec. 11, 2018> 1. Placing unfair or discriminatory conditions or restrictions on the provision of equipment, etc., joint utilization, joint use, interconnection or joint-use services, wholesale services, provision of information, etc.;

.
.
.
...and the list goes on, to end at number 8:

8. Unfairly restricting measures to delete any software unessential to implementing functions of a communications terminal device or measures equivalent thereto; or installing and operating or suggesting any software that unfairly restricts the installation of other software.

Now what this amendment does is add the following three prohibited acts to the list:

Korean:

9. 앱 마켓사업자가 모바일콘텐츠 등의 거래를 중개함에 있어 자기의 거래상의 지위를 부당하게 이용하여 모바일콘텐츠 등 제공사업자에게 특정한 결제방식을 강제하는 행위
10. 앱 마켓사업자가 모바일콘텐츠 등의 심사를 부당하게 지연하는 행위
11. 앱 마켓사업자가 앱 마켓에서 모바일콘텐츠 등을 부당하게 삭제하는 행위

English:

9. For app market operators, abusing their dominant position as intermediary in mobile contents transactions to force upon the mobile content providers the usage of a designated (specific) payment method
10. For app market operators, unfairly and unduly delaying the review of mobile contents submitted to the marketplace [by mobile contents providers]
11. For app market operators , unfairly and unduly deleting mobile contents from the marketplace

Sadly, the ZeroCovid ship has sailed.

* Covid vaccines only partially prevent infection or transmission. To the best of my understanding even 100% vaccination cannot prevent outbreaks.

* We live in an 8bn people world + God know how many animal reservoirs. It is logistically impossible to vaccinate every living being susceptible of covid infection. We've got to live with endemic covid.

* Fortunately the toll on children and teens is very small, and the vaccines do work best in preventing severe cases across the entire population, which makes living with endemic covid a whole lot more palatable.

At some point we have to face the unavoidable. There will be variants, there will be outbreaks, hopefully the impact will be bearable.

Sure, but open source doesn't mean it's free from bugs, unintended or intended, and if any intelligence is behind it (again, I don't know enough about this, so I'm not saying it is), then you can bet that there are some intended bugs in there that will allow said intelligence to at least listen in.
