What, then, do you think is an action that is against freedom of speech?

To me these are textbook examples of censorship. Note that I don't think your summary captures the relevant facts.

NEA: the issue is not whether it should be funded but how the funds, which were already approved, were allocated. Exhibitions were cancelled after receiving funding due to political pressure, and 4 artists won a court case when their funding was vetoed due to political pressure.

Pedagogy of the oppressed. I'll just quote wikipedia here: "The book was among seven titles officially confiscated from Mexican American studies classrooms, sometimes in front of students, by the Tucson Unified School District after the passing of HB 2281."

IR cut filters used in smartphone-style cameras are typically reflective.

Installing an absorptive IR cut filter on top of the lens would decrease the amount of reflected light, and might hinder your approach. Those are pretty cheap to buy, so you could try it out pretty easily.

And what exactly are you going to do with your illegal currency then? Apart from paying your drug dealer, I don't really see the use case.

It's already hard enough to launder cash, and that is the official currency! In addition money laundering regulations get tougher every day, so I'm afraid as an individual you'll just be able to send money to your friends, and potentially use it in holidays abroad (careful not to take any picture or let anybody know, more than one money laundering got caught by displaying vacations way above their declared income).
This seems like a bit of a hot take. Are the people behind this initiative connected to conservative or anti-Sawant organizations?
Speeding is straightforward to determine, just check the speed limit and how fast you were going. Reckless driving is a judgement call. Going to far over the speed limit means you'll probably get a reckless driving ticket if caught. But speeding isn't necessary for a reckless driving charge.

It looks like court precedence is really important in some areas of tax law in determining what's ok. It's a problem if someone can take a really novel and beneficial reading of a policy and assume they won't have to defend it.
Lower-Income. George Carlin would have fun with this. The word is poor. A new four letter word.
All your assertions are actually complaints about our existing plurality voting system.

IRV/Approval/Borda/Condorcet voting systems all improve those factors. That they have some edge conditions that could be theoretically exploited belies that fact that plurality voting (ie, FPTP / one person one vote) is a complete train wreck for spoilers and favoring extreme voting.

No voting system is perfect (Arrow's impossibility theorem) but some are harder to exploit than others. Staying with a broken system because the proposed replacement isn't perfect is a poor justification.

I totally agree with this, but none the less this is nor a partnership. I'm not upset that I'm being treated as a customer. I'm upset when I am being told that I'm being treated as a partner, except that you are making out like a bandit on what you are selling me.

Yes, Western journalism is famous for uncritically praising the West, holding it up as the realization of a perfect, flawless ideal, to which all other societies can only aspire to. But when it comes to those other societies, the headlines are filled with dire warnings that they will taint our perfect system with their backwards or dystopian ways if we allow them to immigrate.

> It seems to be a very common theme in Western journalism to describe Asian countries as dystopias or dystopias in the making.

Whereas they would never describe their own countries this way. Just look at the praise heaped upon Britain:

Is there a reason to assume there are more people attempting this than normal? I would think this is the worst time to attempt that since the prices are so high. You may very well be right, but it feels like we're going full circle since presumably those 'investors' think the prices are going to continue to go up or else they wouldn't be buying...

Well, with Rust tooling that automates the creation of crates from these 'core description files' (aka CMSIS SVD, System View Description), there is a large interest from other CPU vendors too so SVD seems to have become a de facto standard.
For example, Espressif has SVD definitions for their CPUs (e.g. ESP32), which are definitely not ARM: https://github.com/espressif/svd, etc.

Hi, your friendly third co-founder here! Good point around the way that the post was written. Ross and Ryan went through YC W20 for Accord. I joined shortly after and the impetus for founding is based on their learnings and what is shared in this post.
Generally, people are judged based on the "facts of the case". If I stole an iPhone from the Apple Store, you can call me a thief and demand I spend 6 months in jail. But if a single mother stole a loaf of bread from a store because their kids were starving and going to die without food, that same punishment might be considered unjust.

Context matters. The facts matter. Not just, "did you do this or not".

There's less fear than normal right now, as measured by what the market is doing.

How broad is the market relative to society? Could say 3% of people investing tons of money, while 97% are not, create the same result we are seeing today?
>airplanes are a huge polluter towards climate change.

This is true on a relative basis: flying across the US puts out a lot of CO2 for a single person.

But on an absolute scale, it's pretty tiny: 2% of total CO2, 12% of transportation CO2.

Then would it make sense for Delta or United or KLM or something to start investing in retrofitting their planes to hydrogen? I would think that governments could give tax incentives to do so, and as a result make planes substantially less horrible for the environment.
This is one of my biggest qualms with building SaaS apps on the App Store. You can't do a free trial without requiring an Apple Pay confirmation which will auto-convert. We get lots of negative reviews because of it, but there's no way around it without offering some free version.
Yep. Interest rates don't mean jack if there's a bottomless market of buyers who will not use debt and just want to put capital somewhere, anywhere, that will appreciate in a highly inflationary environment. It will be tragic that average people won't be buying homes, but the notion that consumer home purchases have the power to move market prices much seems like a weaker and weaker assumption.
As the CTO of a local exchange in Iran, I can confirm that many average people here are using cryptocurrencies for many reasons including countering inflation. We even have farmers and other low-tech workers using our platform. Buying USD is not that easy here and many people simply use an exchange to buy and save crypto, without needing to do any on-chain transaction at all. Many use crypto when local stock market is not doing good for having profit on their normal savings. Even a non-trivial percent of our users identify themselves as full-time traders. Additionally because of US sanctions many are using crypto to transfer funds to their relatives over the borders, buy games/VPS/VPN/etc, receive remote salaries, or even accept donations for completing GitHub issues.

The local or the US government may oppose some of these actions and consider it illegal, but many normal people just use crypto to have a better life regardless, using their hard-earned money, for normal savings or completely ethical personal financial purposes. Those who want to launder money or evade taxes already had access to more efficient ways and presumably are still using them.
Ask HN: Why are animal microchip databases such a mess?
Like everyone else it seems, I just got my covid rescue dog, woo!

Took him to the vet, they scanned him and gave me his tracking chip number. That led me down the rabbit hole. There are 50+ services out there. Some are free, some are not (where you have to pay to update your address!? so very scammy).

Some websites are well designed, some are a train wreck. Some are connected to the American Animal Hospital Association [1] (which seems to be a central database, which then searches some subset of the total number of databases).

There also seems to be a whole paranoia about these chips [2], which I find fascinating. It is right up there with the Bill Gates vaccine tracking chip.

All in all, this seems like a complete mess that is ripe for disruption. If my dog is lost, finding his tracking number might depend on what database is searched! Registering for a bunch of sites also seems like a weird thing to do. What is your experience with this HN?

While I kind of understand your point of view and not all businesses are equal, a free trial is not stuff for free permanently. You should be confident that your product will be able to make the customer willingly add their credit card after their trial is over if you are indeed providing them with a useful service.
Yeah. They won't, though.
As others have said, if they're limiting the number of approvals you can make on your ballot, then that's not how approval voting is supposed to be administered.

If they're just adding up each candidate's votes, that's not how approval is supposed to be tabulated in a multi-winner context (which is more complicated); see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_approval_voting

> Everything I have read suggests that Cardinal is leagues better

Speaking as a fellow kin who also won't shut up about this, right now we need to just acknowledge that ANYTHING is better than first-past-the-post. At this point I honestly don't care which alternative it is, none of them are worse than the current system. In every jurisdiction where any form of alternative voting system is on the ballot, I will throw my support behind whatever effort has the most momentum, regardless of whether it's approval, star, RCV, whatever. First-past-the-post is killing us with its inevitable descent into bipolarization, and we can figure out a perfect solution once we've stopped the bleeding (keeping in mind that voting system reform is merely a necessary first step, and not sufficient on its own).
Elemental hydrogen has this problem: it is hard to store. You need low temperatures, high pressure, and corrosion resistant containers. But there is one weird trick: if you bind hydrogen to carbon atoms, then you get best of both worlds. The fuel remains energetic and yet is relatively unreactive outside of combustion and is easy to store. Perfect for aviation.

"No intellectually honest person reading your analogy would be able to [reasonably] conclude that you're equating the two topics."

Sure, you could, but that seems a little perverse by itself. Choosing to remain friends with someone you know you to be the serial perpetrator of sexual assault while also favoring their conviction and imprisonment seems ... odd, at best.

What makes the Weinstein case difficult are the widespread claims that lots of people in Weinstein's circle did know what he was doing, and did not (a) report him (b) dissassociate from him. Their lack of willingness to report him (let alone their willingness to actively aid him) means that they are not part of the category described above.

Nope. I have a few friends and family with compromised immunity who followed the medical advice to get the vaccine.

It is harmless in this case because MRNA vaccines do not contain any actual virus. It merely contains “instructions” to the immune system for how to create antibodies. There are no dormant or weakened virus which could potentially become “re activated.”

the hardware thing was not a problem for us as we could dictate which computers were bought. so computers were bought which would be compatible.

our problem was: none of the tools we needed were available in the quality and richness as they exist today.

automatic deployment to hundred of PCs at the same time with extensive automatic configuration? session and configuration management per user?

departments want to use different backgrounds per house or subdepartment. all that stuff had to be built in a scalable way.

the solutions today were not available back then.

One big electricity storage problem is seasonal - eg cold sunless winters. Eg batteries are great for daytime charging your car - but they aren't great for storing up a whole summer's worth of energy to burn in the winter. Hydrogen could do that.

> It probably makes more sense to just synthesize longer hydrocarbons.

Sorry, ignorance on my end is showing again; wouldn't a longer hydrocarbon still emit CO2 as a by-product since carbons are part of its makeup? Or does a longer hydrocarbon mean that there's a higher hydrogen-to-carbon ratio and therefore the pollution is less horrible?
Analysis tools that show where large transitive dependencies could be avoided would help.

Right now there is no feedback to encourage people to not have HUGE lists of dependencies. And for trivial reasons. This compounds the problem hugely.

If you have three dependencies, verifying is feasible. If you have 3,000, it is not.

Not to mention that servicing these debts is getting more easy with time than before, as the dollar inflates. Not good in general, but predicting a housing crash due to over-leveraging is a bad thesis: people can easily afford to pay their mortgages. And besides, we all know "repeating 2008" is not a thing: financial crises happen when the thing nobody predicts occurs. 2008 is still fresh in everyone's memory, so you can be sure that particular kind of cascading effect won't be the catalyst for the next crisis. (It may rhyme, though.)
> Using LegacyFox means I have to build/make it after every update of Firefox, right?

Nope! Installing once is enough.

As long as you're upgrading in-place (which you probably do), it will stay persistent, since Legacyfox doesn't overwrite files provided by Firefox.
I think cost of installation / maintenance per sq meter is the real kicker. There's actually a lot of still available space for solar panels (reservoirs being the favourite one I just discovered).
