OptiRTC | Senior IoT Engineer | Full-Time, Remote (US Only, Boston-based) | https://optirtc.com

OptiRTC provides a groundbreaking, autonomous, IoT-based stormwater management platform that reduces flood risk and protects water quality. Our team is focused on resilience, self-service management tools for O&M and civil design engineers, and improved multi-site control options to enable greater adoption.

Over 100 communities and private entities have applied our technology to achieve their stormwater objectives at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional (passive) infrastructure. In many cases, our dynamic approach is the only way to cost-effectively manage runoff much greater than drainage systems were originally designed to handle.

We are looking for an embedded developer with experience writing firmware in C++ and designing PCBs to join our small (5.5 person) product development team. This is a US-based remote team with optional travel to Boston.

Where do you draw the line? Honest question. I think this is an interesting topic, as so much is online these days. These are companies, not the government, so they should have some more leeway... but given their size, it's also kind of scary. What if someone with a lot of money buys, say, Twitter and clamps down on all right of center, or left of center or whatever content?

It's also incredibly easy to spread pure garbage with social media. Debunking it takes real work.

I am going to a funeral in a few hours for an unvaccinated friend who died of COVID.
Covid and at least one comorbidity. 14% of the control group died; it’s no surprise that 40% had some sort of bad reaction, since presumably they were in pretty bad shape overall.
No you are not correct. The whole underlying mobile phone network infrastructure is based on (failed) trust and is not secure. Though it is slowly being replaced.

>Does Section 230 still cover them if they're picking and choosing what they're going to carry?

Holy shit. 230 is LITERALLY ABOUT PROTECTING PICKING AND CHOOSING. That's the entire point!! Carrying everything in common is called a "common carrier". Putting out your own personal speech is publishing. Moderation exists in between and can never be perfect. Section 230 was created so that forums could moderate, imperfectly, however they wish without being liable for stuff that other people wrote. It is what makes the internet as we know it possible, including Hacker News itself.

Seriously, how do these memes get started and gain so much traction!? Why has nobody apparently actually read 230? It's TWENTY-SIX WORDS. That's it. Here:

"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."

Does anyone see the word "neutral" or anything like that in there? Any qualifications on "both sides"? No. Because it doesn't exist. Stop.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. If the content really is bogus, the discussion around it will take care of itself.

A free society can't function with unchecked on sided propaganda, but that's what big tech is promulgating.
This is the problem with invoking “spirt of the law.” US lawyers can barely agree on what basic constitutional laws mean.

We should only invoke the spirit of a law when it’s a decision of last resort. But we’ve been talking about public vs. private speech for decades now. If Congress had a different spirit in mind, the constitution would’ve been amended or the Supreme Court would’ve issued a definitive decision.
> Does Section 230 still cover them if they're picking and choosing what they're going to carry?

Section 230 does not prohibit imperfect moderation. In fact, Section 230 exists for mostly this reason, so that platforms can moderate on a best effort and not be held liable as publishers.
Genuinely curios, and the time will tell, if the vaccine sceptics will be more open to the pill, or if they will be equally/more sceptic of the pill also.
Liable for what? They already are liable if they enable things like CP if they don't proactively scan and remove it, and other crimes like distribution or sale of illegal substances is something they have to work closely with police on if they don't want to be held for aiding & abetting such crimes. They just aren't going to be the defendant if someone wants to bring a libel suit that originates from a false statement in a tweet, because Twitter isn't omnipotent and can't verify everything someone states to be true.
Because the concept doesn’t translate well to the Internet. This would be more akin to a private company owning all the interstates and deciding that they don’t want certain people driving on their roads. Before people jump in: yes we have laws governing our roads, but we have input on those laws from a representative democracy. These are arbitrary laws on de-facto public infrastructure owned and operated by a private company.
> This is almost certainly due to poor facilitation

Yep. I've suffered 20 years of poor facilitation. I keep hoping for some facilitation.
What happens when the public mostly occupies spaces/services that are owned or outsourced to private corporations? Do you agree that the spirit of the law would be violated by their imposition of censorship? Or that shouting on a soapbox is roughly the same as doing nothing at all when almost all the important parts of our democratic process that precede voting are taking place on platforms owned by large tech companies?
Show HN: platform that helps gamers boost their skill; get skins and items
newspapers can be sued for libel and social media companies cannot. That's the biggest difference.

Twitter is _clearly_ acting as a publisher akin to a newspaper by editorializing and controlling what posts are distributed on its platform which would be OK if they were subject to the same libel laws as a newspaper, but they're not.

It doesn't take a genius or even two eyeballs to see that twitters moderation tilts heavily in one direction and gives a pass to people of a certain political persuasion.
I'll definitely look at and follow those, thanks.
Those in vitro studies were done with Vero cells, from the kidneys of a green monkey, which do not appear to be a good analogue for human lung cells with Covid. Even if you could give the Ivermectin doses recommended by the study without killing the patient, chances are it wouldn’t actually work.
A decent point. It scares me to imagine all the security checks that would be required to make SMS actually secure against these kind of attacks, and then getting everyone to actually follow them.
Personally I donate to XState library and GIMP development, sometimes to Wikipedia.

That additional information would vary, but you basically would follow the same process for someone who loses their device (and along with it their TOTP authenticator app). You might send them a SMS code, require them to call in, etc.

Basically it'd be no different than what companies already do today when someone loses their device and their authenticator app.
It's possible that this is the least-bad censorship option they could implement under threat of retaliation by US government leadership.
Not really. I'm a diehard Schemer as well, for the same reasons: the Lisp-1 nature helps you treat procedures as true first-class values and fits in with Scheme's more functional style. Something you can do in CL also, just with a bit more ceremony. And CL programmers are more "haha, setf go brrrr" anyway.

That said, I'd rather use CL by far than any other language except Scheme, and there are cases where CL is the right thing and Scheme is not. The most brilliant, beautiful, joy to maintain enterprise system I've ever seen was written in CL.

NYT has hiring process and editorial standards, FB/Twitter is a town message board. I think people pick on the government/private distinction too much. When the government is leaning on private monopolies to implement public policy that would be illegal to do directly, I don't think this traditional analysis holds up. Tech CEOs are getting hauled before congress constantly these days, there's a revolving door of government officials. The public/private separation is very superficial.

Under conditions of monopoly, the private companies act much like a government, but unaccountable and undemocratic. It violates the spirit of 1776 to be subjected to the will of an unelected minority and be silenced.

That said, I find the opinions being suppressed despicable, but that doesn't mean I'm going to line up behind government censorship and private monopoly.
SEEKING WORK | The Netherlands | Remote only

I have about 5 years of experience with both Vue and Django and have developed many applications with it for freelance clients and for myself.

“Free and open” Twitter had it’s chance. People couldn’t handle it and then real people got hurt or died.

Maybe this change seems bad on principle, but the status quo today is a known bad state which is costing lives. Hard to argue that we shouldn’t try something different given the evidence in front of us.
In undeserved fairness, I think it's 'just' a clickbait headline, and the author does have a better understanding than you suggest.

The article quickly explains (even the caption on the lead image) that it's an arrangement within a normal solid sheet.

I don't really understand in what sense the internal electron arrangement is 'a solid', but hey, as clickbait, it worked.
People like Jerry Nadler, Chuck Schumer, and Kirsten Gillibrand cashing Chevron checks probably would probably argue that it is better... for them.
In the rural Pennsylvanian I grew up in, the multimillionaire family that owned the town plant went to the same church as most of the rest of the town (excepting catholics), sent their kids to the same public school, and generally socialized freely with the rest of the town. One of their daughters was the same age as me and, although not a friend, was a close acquaintance for as long as I can remember up until the end of highschool when I moved away. That family was as you describe, 'nearly indistinguishable' from the rest of the town. Nearly indistinguishable, except there was no mistaking who they were because the plant was named after them, as was the highschool's football field (which they apparently paid for.) Also, the nearest "shopping mall" was about half an hour away. Shopping as a hobby was alien to me, nobody I knew did that until I went to college.

Point is, America is a big place. If you think you understand America after watching a bunch of American movies and TV shows, you probably don't.
With Okta, it tells you the approximate location of where the login request is coming from. So unless the crook happens to be in the same city as me, I'm going to immediately see that something is wrong and decline the request.

> when a "scrum master"

When my son was about 10 or so, my wife mentioned that they were forcing her to perform as "scrum master" on her team and he laughed and said, "'scrum master'? That sounds like something a third-grader would say to insult another third-grader - 'you're such a... scrum master!'". I think he had the best take on it I've ever heard.
I don't care about "legally." I care about whether we live in a society where we have diverse opinions, and people feel free to express themselves. If we have a system where:

- Market forces drive companies to support one point of view in media, and censor everything else;

- Market forces drive everyone to work under draconian NDAs; and

- Market forces drive companies not to hire people who engage in WrongThink

We've got a broken system where no one has free speech, no matter what the laws say.

And no, you can't successfully start a competing company, because market forces mean that companies which optimize to market forces win.

I don't care about conservatives, liberals, or victim complexes. I care about having reason discourse, civic debate, and free speech. If a social, political, and economic system doesn't allow that, we've got a broken system. As a footnote, every conservative I've spoken to thinks I'm a leftwing nutjob, and every liberal, a rightwing nutjob. If you disagree with either party line on anything (even not in the opposing direction), that's how you're viewed. The polarization and stereotyping is crazy.
Here is a category of lesser known apps I use everyday: Text recognition. Want to copy text in an image? Or copy text on a website that won't allow you to copy?

TIL.

I'm slowly learning that, when the government has a choice between and obvious, smart way of operating, and a clearly dumb way. They choose the dumb way because some chucklefucks in Congress made it illegal to operate the smart way.
SEEKING FREELANCER | Ruby on Rails | Remote in USA

I run Hack Club, which is a nonprofit that helps high schoolers start programming clubs at their schools. We open source almost everything we do at https://github.com/hackclub/. You can read a little about a summer program we ran a couple months ago here: https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/teens-code-while-traveli...

I'm trying to find a Rails contractor who has a really good product eye to contribute to Hack Club Bank, which is a financial tool we run to help Hack Clubs and hackathons manage their finances and become nonprofits. https://hackclub.com/bank/ is the marketing page for it and https://medium.com/hackclub/hack-club-bank-is-now-live-for-e... has some more background on the product.

In this role, you'd be shipping features that require a combination of frontend and backend work. Our backend is pretty standard Ruby on Rails and our frontend is normal JavaScript with pages rendered by the backend. We have a small team of Hack Clubbers aged 13-17 that contribute to the product, and you'd also be serving as a mentor to them to scope out features, break them down into issues, and working with them through code reviews to get their code merged.

My hope is to open source Hack Club Bank in the future, so hopefully you'd be able to contribute to that as well.

If you're reading this and not currently looking for work, I would really appreciate any suggestions for people to reach out to, or profiles of anyone in the Rails community that you're inspired by that I could look into.

If you're interested in the role or have any suggestions, please email me at zach (at) hackclub.com. If you're interested in the role, please include your GitHub or links to any open source projects you've built or contributed to.
I don't know about "most". But either way, the operating mechanism is that some person has amplified the quoted tweet to an audience that already agrees with them. The dunk tweet scenario is also an example of selection bias.
I think the issue here is just that

>the landowner of that 1944 sighting

can be read in two ways. I assume you meant the person who owned that land when it was taken away, and that's how I read it. But it's not unreasonable to interpret it as the person who owned it at the time of the sighting.
"I'd probably be ok with bailouts, jubilees if they were more fair, more bottom up..."

I think it is not so much the bailout that bothers me, as the "ok, crisis over, back to normal" that happens immediately afterwards. If it was something like "bailout, then break up into 50 smaller institutions immediately afterwards", I would not be so upset about it.
The first paragraph of the article clearly describes what the title is actually getting at. It's a perfectly fine title that catches interest.

If the conditions are just right, some of the electrons inside a material will arrange themselves into a tidy honeycomb pattern — like a solid within a solid. Physicists have now directly imaged these ‘Wigner crystals’, named after the Hungarian-born theorist Eugene Wigner, who first imagined them almost 90 years ago.
> In the 1970s, global cooling was the "scientific fact".

No, there was much more uncertainty in the 70s, but the idea that global cooling was even a moderately dominant idea was a narrative constructed largely in the 2000s.

Your theory is entirely possible. But I’d also like to point out that the study population was entirely Covid positive people with one or more risk factors. Presumably if you’re overweight, over 60, and have Covid you probably are willing to take more risks than before to improve your odds of not dying. Even the vaccine hesitant might accept that risk.
> the solution for this

But what is "this"? I think the only criticism of existing theorem provers at https://practal.com is that Coq uses coercions rather than subtyping. Is there a practical example where Coq just doesn't have a good equivalent for what subtypes can do?
If it gets popular enough outside of twitter, maybe. But with the spread limited to the quote tweets themselves, only followers will see it initially and those followers are much less likely to have a large follower-base of their own to spread it.
> A consistent pattern of extremely hot weather year after year breaking established records at least suggests a trend.

You're right. However, it is annoying when there's a cold snap that "weather isn't climate", but, when there's a hot-snap suddenly the weather is climate. Yes, this is generally not coming from climate scientists, but, it still makes advocates for a reasonable global warming response seem like a bunch of hypocrites and enhances the idea that global warming is purely political to the people who aren't informed, aren't totally closed minded either, but, who are turned off by apparent hypocrisy.

I would say its the implication that the virus is ineffective at preventing transmission:

> this one mRNA shot […] that doesn’t stop transmission

This phrasing implies can be easily misconstrued to that it's completely ineffective in preventing transmission… and it's not.

The tweet is … off … here,

> I can go unvaccinated against polio

AIUI, one can go unvaccinated against polio because the vaccine against polio was so effective it is one step shy of being eradicated. The cognitive dissonance of refusing a COVID-19 vaccine on that argument is astounding to me…

> I can go unvaccinated against […] tetanus, hepatitis, measles and mumps

Presumably it depends on jurisdiction, but I was required to get those vaccines in order to attend school.

Now, while I (personally) think the tweet is bad, Twitter's moderation is not the greatest here, and I would agree that banning comments is too heavy handed. If nobody can correct the poster, with nuanced debate that addresses their points specifically, how would they ever change their view?

Simultaneously, I think people running discussion sites need the ability to moderate, and that moderation will be at times wrong. But users, simultaneously, need reasonable choice when it comes to services like this, so that if they disagree with the company/org's choices, they have a meaningful way to choose a different provider.
