I mean... Yeah... Long ago some people got together and said large government organizations should not censor speech. They thought this idea was good enough that it shouldn't just be law, they should Amend the US Constitution to protect people from a particular large organization's overwhelming power to suppress dissent.

But today the organization censoring speech is a public corporation [wealthier and more powerful than most governments], and because it doesn't have explicit ties to any government, we are supposed to assume that the spirit of the original rule is not being violated. Citizens may expect no freedom of thought or expression, even if the properties Google owns appear to be and function like public forums.
There are certainly people who view medical marijuana as just a way to get high legally.

There are also people who are certain that access to medical marijuana saved their lives. The example that comes to mind was someone who was dealing with significant nausea / appetite issues that had caused dangerous weight loss that no other prescription medications could manage. Medical marijuana ameliorated these issues when nothing else had.

This doesn't mean MJ is a miracle drug, but it does meam that there is a significant group that quite genuinely supports medical marijuana for medical reasons.
Why not use an old laptop at that point? Pi4 isn't fanless anymore, and there is not a good reason to use one when there are better spec SBC, lower price ones, fanless ones, not even sure who the audience for it is.

Edit: can't reply but show the specs to the Pi4 model that you want me to compare, and I didn't know about the new fanless Pi4, but they are still not stronger than many other SBCs that exist, and don't have fast interfaces in comparison to other SBCs, the Pine rockchip SBC comes to mind as one that has great performance for cheaper prices.

>What free speech advocates ignore here is that even they generally draw a line somewhere.

Yes, that is a problem of some discussion in government. To solve this problem researchers have created so-called 'crimes', which are violations of 'laws' which define the things we may and may not do, and people become subject to 'punishments' if disobeyed.

Leading thinkers have suggested that the way to make things 'illegal' is to pass 'laws' restricting them.
I welcome that chilling effect, because people who believe YouTube and other sites are required to not do censorship are completely wrong. Not only they are not required to keep everything, they actually have right to remove anything ironically by the first amendment. The only reason they don't do it because they want to appear neutral.

Having the false belief that they can't censor is actually dangerous, because it makes everyone pile up to one service starving and killing competition creating monopoly.

Windows isn't really slow though...

That being said I hate windows 11 and the choices made. While I love windows 10, as it mainly just works and was a big set up from 7.

I use Linux nearly 90% of the time in server space. With Windows VM's mostly for the AD Domain Controller and Print Server, as Windows AD in a Azure AD Hybrid setup works great for user control. Integrates into my Linux server for a synced user control. The Linux alt is a janky option. Keeping user accounts locked down is pretty important for production systems.

The Linux desktop scene however is a great deal better than it used to be. Back in the Day I used to rock opensuse on a IBM T61, everything worked out the box with that install. Something Ubuntu at the time did not do. But the lack of software was always an issue and wine was not what it is today. Office 2000 and other old windows apps ended up working fine.

As engineers we should be thinking about this and telling management.

A few years back we decided to change the format all our graphics were stored in - which in turn meant calling new APIs to draw them. After a few rounds of meetings to figure out how many graphics there were and how much this would cost I realized this wasn't something we should do. I continued to estimate, but I sent a strong email to my boss "As a tech lead I forbid all in house engineers from doing this work, there is no long term value in learn how to do it, and we can hire third party contractors who know the new API better than us. Also we need to combine the contract with other division needing to do this same thing as it isn't worth scripting things for just us but a large contract will write a script for some of the work saving time and money". Immediately the whole tone of conversations changed around the company - managers (and I assume their technical people) realized I was right and all got together to get one contract to get the job done.

they were allegedly involved in a project that moved marijuana across the south by truck, and they were the only defendants who did not plead guilty and agree to a deal, and were subsequently the only ones sent away for real time.

my partial understanding is that they were involved in the laundering and/or obfuscation of funds, they probably had strong suspicions about what was going on, but there was enough easy money that they did not demand answers.

they felt insulated from the crimes about which they had no concrete knowledge.

claims were made at trial that were demonstrably false, but they refused to admit to things in a plea that they did not do or have knowledge of. which was the wrong call under the circumstances.

Here's the exact quote:

"The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic."

The above does in fact describe a "clear and present" danger. You'll notice, however, that saying anything on the subject of vaccines, a pedophilic cabal in Hollywood, or the Moon landing is in no way like triggering the immediate stampede of desperate people who have no time to consider the truth or falsehood of potentially being trapped in a burning building.

That analogy is simply too often misused. I have to wonder if its misuse isn't itself "misinformation."

This is widely known among practitioners, but there is a caveat -- a 1/N portfolio bears a much higher risk than, say, a cap-weighted portfolio or a risk-parity asset allocation. A 1/N portfolio receives an equal contribution in terms of volatility from each asset, meaning that very risky assets significantly increase the portfolio's volatility, while not necessarily contributing proportionally better returns, due to the nonlinearity and asymmetry of volatility's effects on prices. This way, 1/N ends up performing very poorly on a risk-adjusted basis while undoubtedly at the same time outperforming any other kind of allocation on the basis of return alone. This is rather unacceptable in a real world portfolio where the tail risks and emotions can lead an investor to ruin.

> I think the crux of the issue is that "the cure is worse than the illness" is objectively false

Since the disease is highly age-stratified and dependent on risk factors, the same goes for the vaccines. For elderly, it's a complete no-brainer. For me, in my forties, it's overwhelmingly false and I got vaccinated as bloody fast as I could. And for anyone in a risk group, it's false as well.

But for healthy kids and teenagers? It's a wash for them personally, but if they're hanging around people in risk groups, there's a clear benefit of them getting vaccinated.

> the vaccine has been proven to be safe

There are several vaccines, and some of them have issues. The AstraZeneca one is pretty much not in use any longer in the west because of the blood clotting issue, and there are reports now that teenage boys might suffer myocarditis from the Pfizer vaccine. Incredibly rare, but the risk is not zero.

You are generally correct that the cure is not worse than the disease, for an overwhelming majority of people, but the truth is more complicated, and without long-term safety data for these vaccines, I completely understand that some people are hesitant.

At the core of the anti-vaxx bullshit is a tiny kernel of truth, and I think it's better to address that than to completely suppress everything they say, because that's just gonna make people on the fence extremely suspicious and tip them over the wrong way.
You really think "any anti-vaccine information is censored"?

This policy on YouTube just started, and, last I heard anyway, there are other sources of information other than YouTube.

There have obviously been many many sources of information on the internet that allow anti-vaccine information. And, if that information was actually credible, it would have also been available to, for instance, those at YouTube who made this policy. What do you figure their agenda is for covering it up?
> The alpha gal leaves your system very quickly, but the result of the (mis)-training of your immune system lasts forever.

But does it take years for the effect to show up after the alpha gal leaves your system? We are now 9 months into mass vaccination, and still no sign of these ominous long-term side effects that people seem so worried about.
Right, but would they be profitable if you took out the advertising and expansion costs? From the document I saw, yes. Can you please explain where are these enormous costs that are necessary to run the business? Is it SV salaries? Are their servers costing too much money? It doesn’t make sense. It’s like saying that the concept of dispatching taxis with a computer is not capable of being profitable. It simply isn’t true. It’s like people who said Amazon and Tesla were vapor ware because they were unprofitable. Everyone in the media and most people on HN couldn’t fathom the concept of subtracting R&D.

I think asking why is a great way to quickly find out if the person I'm talking to doesn't know what they're talking about (I'm thinking specifically of developer discussions here). You don't have to be rude about it, there are plenty of ways to gently probe (feigning ignorance for example) but if it only takes a single "why" to get to some software "rule" or an immediate reference to a higher authority and nothing else, then you can move on with your day.

If the conversation leads to specific examples, lessons learned or a deeper explanation then it can be a great learning experience.
My mom was a RN most of her career then got her masters and went into education. My dad is a nurse practitioner. I didn't specify it explicitly because I didn't think it was relevant -- I was not trying to use vagueness to imply they were medical doctors and use them as a source of authority. All was trying to do was build them up at least a little, they do know more about the body than most people even if they aren't anywhere near experts on what the vaccine does.
The way I always understood it is that good artists put their spin on it.

Great artists realize perfection when they see it and just copy it, without trying to “improve” it, usually from lesser known, less successful artists so they get away with it.
> The science is evolving

Science got massively oversold. Who did that? Who benefits from that?

> The only remaining choice for anti-vaxxers in the face of increasingly contagious variants is take the shot or risk death. Your call.

I think if you call anyone hesitant to take these shots an anti-vaxxer, you contribute to making the narative so everything extreme. Many that are "c19 vaccine hesitant" are vaccinating their children on the locally standard schedule. It is just that this c19 vaccine is a bit different: did not yet stand the test of time and it is in many cases a whole new therapy (mRNA therapy's debut).

> take the shot or risk death

This sounds so dramatic. This choice is everywhere, just not with so much media attention. Diets, traffic accidents, extreme sports, ...

I think we should use vaccines only to protect those at risk, and/or those who want protection by it. Once they have the shot it's over.

The media is pushing a story that we need to all get vaccinated to protect others. I think, given the research, that this is never going to happen (virus will stay in corners of the world with unvaccinated people, virus will have new variants: virus will stay with us).

Do you routinely analyze and challenge your own biases? Do you ever wonder if someone you disagree with might be right?

It's easy to call someone stupid while ignoring what they are saying. It's hard to charitably hear someone's argument. I'm certainly at fault there.

Either way I categorically reject the worldview where a "benign" paternalism protects us from ourselves.
I wouldn't say all train professionals knew this. I talked to doctors about Theranos and they were impressed by them and were bullish. It may be they didn't look too much into it.

Context: I was approached by a recruiter and I couldn't understand how Theranos distinguished itself from other labs or get any data when I tried to do diligence on their claims.
If somebody takes out the GHQ of a superpower tomorrow with this, that is certainly "very escalateable," but unlike other options it still requires conventional follow up to deliver defeat, and keep the enemy occupied in immediate aftermath. And it surely lacks the intimidation factor of a massive nuclear ballistic missile attack.

No amount of surgical strikes will be enough to behead a well trained military of a superpower, unless somebody on the ground goes, and routes them after the initial strike, preventing the enemy chain of command from recovering.

Tanks, and troops on the ground will still be needed to capture enemy's capital, and surround, and immobilise major enemy concentrations.
I'm assuming you have read the HN guidelines as well before commenting and I am clearly asking the other commenter for evidence to 'substantiate' their very divisive comment [0] which risks (and has already created) a flamewar in this thread. It was quickly flagged earlier by other users for that reason.

From the HN guidelines [1], it clearly states that:

> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

Where exactly is the evidence or citations in this comment? [0] There aren't any. It has no evidence and it is not substantiated.

As for the other two:

> Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

Clearly the commenter has successfully derailed the discussion to create a flamewar in this thread on top of lacking any evidence in their comment and now the whole thread has gone off topic. Even another commenter in this thread suggested it has gone off-topic.

Oh dear.

I wonder if that's a situation where the bosses above your boss think that there should be a proper "shape" to a team's rankings (e.g., can't havea team with too many principals, or all SWE 3s, etc).

This seems incredibly naive. The present proliferation of anti-vaccine sentiment is almost entirely the result of propaganda pushed by a tiny number of people being amplified by social media. You can argue about whether or not it's right to suppress information on principle, but I don't see how you can argue it's ineffective. It's ineffective at combating actual truth when things like the Supreme Soviet just lie about meeting their five year plan goals and imprison anyone who presents real data, but scientific journals and newspapers introducing some editorial curation in what they were willing to amplify worked perfectly fine at actually suppressing fringe pseudoscience and false conspiracy theories for centuries.

I get it. Some conspiracies turn out to be true. Watergate happened. The Panama Papers happened. COINTELPRO happened. The FBI probably really did assassinate Fred Hampton. Galileo was right. But for every Galileo, there are a few thousand cranks thinking they disproved special relativity or invented a perpetual motion machine and refusing to grant them a platform has worked fine forever until social media came along and gave everyone an audience.
The Tate Modern has a huge room filled with what seems to be detritus left over from mounting art - ladders, glue, tape, and so on. Your first reaction is that they are switching out an exhibition.

Nearby is an empty room, where they actually are switching out an exhibition.
Same here. Social Environment is hard to overcome. In the battle of social environment (group think) vs. individual reasoning, environment will win almost every time.

Yes. Because Rails decided what the "Golden path" was 10 years ago, but pales when having to do real-time anything, concurrent anything, parallel anything, etc. also, scaling tends to be expensive.

I will admit that rails ecosystem is much larger and often you have multiple libraries that do the same thing and you can pick and choose and those gems/libraries have been around for a while.

Phoenix you can spin up a SaaS platform with realtime messaging and event handling the way you could spin up a blog with rails 10 years ago.

More like a major real-estate provider is being forced to use a management company to manage their rental units, when they have experience and infrastructure for managing these units directly.

Or they're being forced to allow other companies to build rental units on their property, who would in turn pay pay the rent up to the provider.
This is a perfect expression of the problem. That you think that this is what anti-vaxxer content looks like. This opinion doesn't even make it to "hot take" status let alone anything that would be modded. No scary corporate oligarchs are coming for you for having the cheese pizza of opinions.

But to be fair and actually answer your question it's pro-vaccine. You're literally stating the pro-vaccine stance verbatim.
