It is about marking you as subservient. If you read anything about Evangelical Christian culture the single worst sin you can ever commit is demanding your autonomy. This grievous violation of our bodies is used to induce us into servitude. I reject the marks this wicked culture has given me.
This type of thing happens all the time when you live in a small city with only a handful of places that match your tech stack. Recruiters often send you jobs for companies that you were rejected by, or that you rejected during the interview process, since those instances won't appear on your resume.
As a current target of malicious censorship and threats by the admins, I'd have to agree that anyone from the original team would be horrified by what's happening at Reddit right now. Being directly and abusively gaslit by a billion dollar company is a level of Twilight Zone that I'm honestly struggling to cope with.
Yeah, it's really not the same thing. It's like comparing a botched operation with a decapitation.
> This line of thinking is like "don't even attempt to change the status quo."

Well you can, but not on your own. There's a few people that try to shoulder the whole burden.
Signal enables people like my mother-in-law to do it.

PGP enables people like... well, not her, and not me either, to be frank. I tried and failed. PGP did that for a definition of "people" that excludes most people.
Didn't Swift adopt something similar? (I'm no Swift dev so I'm not sure)
Pretty sure that circumcision reduces chances of HPV significantly.
There just isn't much of a perf penalty. It uses more CPU, yes, but with today's highly-threaded CPUs I can hardly tell there's a cost.

For any data you want to keep, I'd say it's well worth the performance cost. Even for data you don't want to keep, so long as it isn't absolutely performance-critical I find it still worth the cost.
However, the precedent that FGM is outlawed _despite_ religious protest, means that MGM might eventually fall too. This means that anyone wishing to preserve MGM is trying to find support for it on other grounds.

Hence the litany of "health studies" supporting the practice, so it's not just a religious issue, it's a health issue! Muddy the waters with just enough doubt to keep the debate alive instead of letting it be an obviously-settled issue like FGM.

The result is that, if you look at all the papers published on the topic, and sort them into two piles depending on who funded the research, and then look again and sort them into two piles depending on their conclusion, you'll find that you've performed the same sort twice.
The main example I can think of is when you don't know what python links to. For example, an Arch system will links to some version of Python 3. I believe that Debian based systems link to some version of Python 2. You could just swap python with python3, but if your script supports Python 2 as well and you're trying to run it on a system without Python 3, it will fail.

Of course, if your script will run under both Python 2 and 3, I don't know why you would want to use these contrivances to simply give preference to Python 3.
It is about lessening sexual pleasure and removing the child's autonomy. It's entire purpose was to mark you as subservient: https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-ancient-traditions/h...
How Kubernetes Validates Custom Resources
What exactly would constitute a non-botched circumcision of an infant?
The hacker ethos didn't change. The software developer gold rush happened, bringing in an influx of people who are only coding for the big paycheck corporations provide, and that watered down who was considered a "hacker". There's no interest among them in exploring what one can do with computers, no interest in code elegance (the hallmark of the old-school hackers), and certainly no interest in any ethos other than "Greed is good".
My standards are high enough that I choose to use macOS and not Linux or Windows. I make no other claims about them.
So perhaps the obvious conclusion should be that your definition of "mass bombing" is not what people mean when they use that term?
I’ve been in the industry for 40 years; The absurdities keep repeating.
What I mean is that Signal as a messaging service depends completely on Signal as an organisation and on the few individuals running that organisation. Everything hinges on them.

It's pretty clear that governments around the world (including many western countries) have decided that online services must take full responsibility for everything their users say and do on the platform. Regulation is coming hard and fast. It's not subtle and some of it will inevitably be inconsistent with E2EE.

Anyone running a popular service of this sort is going to be under huge pressure - political pressure, expensive legal pressure and presumably the sort of pressure exerted by police and intelligence services that the rest of us are fortunate not to know very much about.

Signal's structure, the tight link between the org, the people and the centralised operations focuses all the pressure on this small group of people. They are going to be an absolute lightning rod as soon as WhatsApp has given up.

I don't want to be in their shoes. I fear they will have to make very difficult decisions pretty soon. I find it puzzling that they're making themselves the target of further powerful opponents by adding cryptocurrencies to the mix.

I think Matrix has the better structure for what's coming. It distributes the pressure. It's not either on or off. It's not just some specific app that can be banned.
Thanks marcan :) and thanks for all your work towards bringing linux to M1.
Many forms of FGM are just cutting off the clitoral hood, equivalent to a male circumcision.
Ha! :-D

Hi. Author here.

Yes, I do occasionally use Excel (although I favour LibreOffice for most things these days.) TBH, though, this is I think the first time I have ever heard of anyone wanting this behaviour. Usually I heard about people who couldn't understand why they were no longer able to scroll around their spreadsheet in the usual way.

I'm vaguely glad to learn that someone somewhere does want this!
Nobody should do it in my humble opinion.
It's dishonest to dismiss valid concerns as "conservative bugaboos". Pew surveys have consistently shown that the majority of global muslims, for example, support establishing Sharia Law and placing it above local laws in foreign countries. I won't get into the issues with CRT but they're not nearly as cut and dry as you are implying. Nor is your interpretation over labor law. I'm at least willing to acknowledge that the progressive aspect is not entirely without merit; are you truly so arrogant as to blithely dismiss the views of about half the country in their entirety?
>> We really can't rule anything out, as their motivations, technologies, and requirements are not human.

But the quest isn't to detect all alien life, just any. The really alien stuff, the stuff we cannot comprehend, we cannot detect. So we start with the sorts of things we might be able to detect. By doing so we have already made all sorts of assumptions and that is ok because it is the only way forwards. Yes, we might miss a civilization that does not live on a planet with an atmosphere, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep looking at atmosphere signatures.
I can't believe the levels of antisemitism that are casually accepted - and even cheered for - on HN under articles like these.

> Merchants will prefer to accept the good money as payment (Thiers' Law) because it can retain value for longer.

While it is true that merchants prefer to accept good money as payment that in itself isn't Thiers law. Thiers law is about good money displacing bad money when bad money becomes worthless or there are no legal tender laws.

> They will offer discounts for customers paying with the good money.

> Thus, customers might prefer to pay with the good money (assuming they have a low-friction means to convert their bad money to good money).

This is not true. The only way a customer might prefer to pay with good money in this situation, all things being equal, is if the discount for paying with good money is bigger than the value of holding good money compared to bad money.

Good money doesn't displace bad money because customers prefer it but because merchants stop accepting bad money.
not disagreeing with your overall point of mutilation without consent but there is some evidence that circumcision lowers risk of HIV transmission[1] - so there might have been some health benefits at some point in history due to it. of course it should be criminal to practice it on children who can't decide on their own.

Looking around, you can quickly find, that `Shawan Jabarin` the general director of Al-Haq (which was banned) was convicted in 1985 of recruiting and arranging training for members for PFLP and was called “Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde,” by the Israeli Supreme Court in 2007 for being a human rights campaigner by day and a terrorist by night.

Also, HRW statement should be taken with a grain of salt, since they have conflict of interest since he was appointed by Human Rights Watch (HRW) to its advisory board that oversees reporting on Arab-Israeli affairs In February 2011 (All after his convictions)

So having two accountants telling you it is "general knowledge" that these orgs are funneling money to PFLP are not statements in the void.

No proof there was any kind of torture also in your article. Only "may". Apply your own standard.

The familiar trefoil symbol has been used in all kinds of places, including that soda. The "extremely scary" symbol is the fourth image in the Wikipedia page OP linked to:

> It depicts, on a red background, a black trefoil with waves of radiation streaming from it, along with a black skull and crossbones, and a running figure with an arrow pointing away from the scene. The radiating trefoil suggests the presence of radiation, while the red background and the skull and crossbones warn of danger. The figure running away from the scene is meant to suggest taking action to avoid the labeled material. The new symbol is not intended to be generally visible, but rather to appear on internal components of devices that house radiation sources so that if anybody attempts to disassemble such devices they will see an explicit warning not to proceed any further.
Yes, easily. Though you may find it will pay much less than webdev, even for highly complicated work with Linux capable SoCs based board designs.
I'm talking from experience too. And from experience I found the opposite was true. Most of the time I found a snippet and knew what I was doing with it. Admittedly sometimes it sounded lousier than I'd expected and I thus scraped it but that's not really the same as having a sample and accidentally discovering it sounded good. Usually I'd pick a simple because I thought I could sound good (otherwise I wouldn't have bothered sampling it to begin with). So I think the term "happy accidents" is disingenuous because a lot of the time it wasn't an accident.
Pretty sure there are better ways to not catch the disease than making man a cripple.
This type of analysis is kind of hard, because you could also say that Israel's enemies would benefit a lot from this sort of thing being discovered.
I think it's inconsistent whether or not `python` exists if you only have python3 installed, depending upon the OS.

Performance gains, preferring future-looking development, and better error messages.
no one is locked in anywhere. It's the developers choice to put in DRM or not. Steam by itself doesn't force it.

No business plan makes sense if they give away their product for free without taking any form of revenue. Casting that as evil is odd and misleading. That they allow devs to generate codes that give steam no revenue at all is pretty incredible.

Another insane fact: in the US, circumcisions are usually done by obstetricians. Doctors who are trained on and work on exclusively women, except for a single surgical procedure on newborn male babies.

> rich idiots in charge of scientific publishing.

You know who’s to blame for scientific publishing? Fucking academia. The web was built to allow research papers to be shared. Seriously - it’s fucking purpose built for that very task.

There are no resources involved in scientific publishing besides the time of the authors and reviewers, none of whom are employed by the publishers.

So why do we have any academic publishers at all, over 30 years after the web was invented? Surely we could have solved the problems with organizing peer review, etc by now. The answer is: academia wants it to be this way. Researchers want to publish in prestige journals. The cred from prestige journals is integral to the academic career path in enough disciplines that the system is allowed to self perpetuate.
My guess is that the agency providing a service to spammers wouldn't, as if Telegram figures out that they are letting spammers through the agency's checks, they can ban them and the agency would lose their deposit.

What a great read. I love seeing these little weird slices of Americana being preserved for future generations.
Some of these comments, like attending to relative position in space, remind me of Phil Agre's fantastic "How to Help Someone Use a Computer" (1996) – https://pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/agre/how-to-help.html

Phil's instructions mix some good influences and can be used when working with people in other mediated spot environments like interviews/discussions too.
Yes, it is competition. Whether people buy it immediately or not, the other CPU/GPU companies are going to take notice.

Beyond that, the M1 directly replaced an Intel chip, and that Intel’s CEO has already said he wants to win back Apple’s business (as unlikely as that seems).
I always wondered who nibbled off the foreskins of Americans...

But seriously, I somehow expected such an answer and I believe it to be heavily misinformed. It is the old formula, Jews are somehow responsible for it all. Can you give an example for a policy or public influence that was made in favor of Jews?

I find them often very disagreeable. 2 Jews in a room can net you 5 different opinions. That is just a stereotype of course, but of what should this influence consist off? Israel? A large part of diaspora is often quite blunt with its criticism of Israel in a way that many Israeli don't hold back criticism themselves. Doesn't sound like effective collusion to be honest.

Speak for yourself. I'm not "crippled". Circumcision has never affected me negatively in my entire life (was circumcised as a new born).

How about don't throw names around like that?

And there's HUGE regional variation, the practice being very rare in the southwest and very common in the northeast.

I can say from personal experience, I'm in the midwest and in my entire dating career, I've only encountered two women with prior knowledge of natural men, and both of them had spent time in Europe.

So if the rate is indeed dropping here, it's happening in a younger segment of the population. (Good for them!)
How does circumcising compare with vaccination? I would think vaccinations might be much less medically risky.
It's not black or white though.

If wind turbines does have an impact, it should be studied and understood so that, whatever the reason is behind the impact, it can be taken into account.

If not, there will always be the risk of backlash that would help nobody.

If the causes are understood, then there can be ways to control the impact, solve those issues or, at least, have a better idea where those should and should not be implanted.
Where exactly do you see any form of antisemitism?
> It is better to have new versions of a standard than to extend a standard to include all possibilities. The equivalent would be making all TLS and SSL versions just extensions of the original SSL standard; a client talking to a server would negotiate between a plethora of secure and insecure cipher suites.

> Age uses 256-bit AES keys and the HKDF; Signify uses Ed25519 signatures. If these are found to be insecure in the coming decades, the solution would be to release a spec for Age 2 or Signify 2 instead of just adding an option to use a different combination of algos/curves/KDFs.

I hope you realize this doesn't make sense. Would minsign2 be able to read minsign1? For an end user, they will need to know even more out of band information about the signature they want to verify.

The extremely poor ergonomics of minsign are my problem with it. It doesn't have solutions for many problems, and it's users flat out hand wave future problems.

As phrased your comment is implying that anyone who isn't a "free speech absolutist" isn't an idealist, which does not sound right to me, but I'll assume that was just an accidental byproduct of brevity.

That aside, the type of "censorship and corporate control of government" that was prevalent when Aaron Swartz found that organization had strong ties to the post-9/11 insanity that took over Western politics and media. It was a different situation than the ones that you are describing. I wouldn't make any assumptions about whether he would have judged them the same way.
It doesn't as get much attention, but Aaron was working a lot on a lot of pro-democracy anti-corruption money-out-of-politics activism in his latter years, founding "Change Congress" with Lessig, which later became "Rootstrikers", an organization focused on eradicating dark money in politics.

Aaron Swartz was also a Progressive (having co-founded "Demand Progress") and a Keynesian (http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/keynes) who believed in taxing the rich in the service of a functioning economy, I wonder what he would have thought about all the bullshit coming from Paul Graham these days in his vitriolic defense of the status quo. He couldn't be very happy to hear Graham saying we don't need to tax and spend on infrastructure to get us out of the climate mess.
Is there some general familiarity which they would gain from a more general practice which would be relevant to or affect the execution of this specialized procedure?
Are you talking about huntr.dev? (:

I’ve received quite a few reports from them for my open source projects (it seems once you respond to one, everyone piles on). Some of them are invalid, duplicate, or only involve configuration of a demo app but for the most part I have been OK with them. None of the reporters have “begged” me for anything yet and in something like 75% of the cases the result has been a small bug fix to my projects.

I’ve had enough interaction with them that I’ve even added a SECURITY.txt file referencing the program to some of my repos.

Or, since I'm King, I propose we hire enough well-paid teachers to cover our needs.

But actually in the inverted classroom model, you have video lesson "homework" (what we think of as the lecture) and then the students come to class to do exercises. The teacher becomes more of a tutor. So one teacher could still cover students within a few weeks of each other.

And I definitely like the idea of a week having the minimum work and a pile of bonus work for the over achievers.

Looking elsewhere I can find mention of other companies and domicile hopping, including an American LLC.

The main one seems to be in the British Virgin Islands right now. I don't know how much that's separate from the UK or if the one in the UK being only a sub-company exempts it from surveillance, but it's not something I would rely on for sure.
