You don't have the right to dictate what people can and can't do with their own bodies. Furthermore, you should accept the fact that some people hold opinions different than yours and it's not always "temporary", yes, differing opinions actually do exist. There's many documented cases of people consistently wanting to die over a long period of time, you deny these people exist?

Here's a way to achieve. Don't eat your fellow countrymen, as the marxists do. They did not eat each other because they were starving. They ate each other because they liked it and did not like not following orders. Make all the missiles you want. Make all the technological advances you want. You still eat each other. Even animals have an aversion to that.

I wasn't sure exactly what to title this submission, since there was no clear title on the page (which is just a link to a pop-up window); I think the more interesting discussion here is around property ownership, versus the "I'll never buy from you again" comments.

Would we accept that we couldn't update to Windows 10, or switch to Ubuntu, on our laptops, because the Compaq brand was discontinued in 2013?

IMO, the sales & service model of mobile devices has been focused on centralized top-down control, which can often serve to harm the user more than it helps them; especially in cases like this. There's a lot of variability in a statement like that though—why I thought it would be an interesting discussion topic.

Because a lot of what we think we know might actually be false. For example the empirical idea that there are two biological sexes. That is false, despite seemingly being well established:

> Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic

> Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

> “My feeling is that since there is not one biological parameter that takes over every other parameter, at the end of the day, gender identity seems to be the most reasonable parameter,” says Vilain. In other words, if you want to know whether someone is male or female, it may be best just to ask.

You also have the population of people who are sick and simply want to end their life.

No affect. No psychological issues.

Just the fact that you want to be in control of your life. I find this very courageous - I for one certainly do not want to be a burden for my family if I am in a state that requires them to take care of me when my brain is gone.

Yeah, it's a hard problem, and I liked that OP acknowledged that. But I liked less how it made a virtue of the bad situation. There's really no way to rest easy or be serene here.
Hey sorry for the delay in getting back. It's obviously a difficult line to draw because terminal diseases, especially those of the painful/slow degenerative type, are tragic and I would never wish them on anyone. I also understand that it will be a bitter pill for me to swallow were I to develop a terminal illness, and approaching death in that way is no doubt a very difficult.

To give you a specific sort of research that I feel is dangerous: preventing oxidative damage to telomeres (stopping one of the primary mechanisms of aging). Even though a breakthrough in that field will generate new therapies for schizophrenia and certain cancers, I believe that it will open a Pandora's box of externalities that, on balance, will outweigh the therapies.

I'm thinking about this more on principle: death is important for society in the same way that fire is important for a forest (imperfect analogy, but bear with me). The passing of older generations creates opportunities and mobility for younger generations, as well as room for cultural change that adapts with the rapid pace of technological change. I think in many ways the world would be a far worse place today were there large numbers of 120+ year-old people still around, voting however they would vote. Having a lot of 120-year-olds around would be ecologically untenable too.

In the original comment I refer to "grace", and by that I'm referring to the way that Randy Pausch or Morrie Schwartz describe their experiences with terminal disease. To them, death is an inevitability that highlights the value and sacredness of our short mortal lives. In the same way, I also really love the way how certain cultures treat funerals as celebrations of life rather than the somber sad traditions common in the West.

Put simply, death is what makes life valuable.
Property-Based Testing in Go
I once took a job and on my first day they gave me an employment contract, one clause of which stated that I would grant the company rights to use my name, voice, and likeness "for marketing purposes".

I said hell to the no. I was prepared to walk out rather than sign that.

Thankfully they drew up another contract om the spot with that bit removed. Not so thankfully, they dropped me before I could actually prove myself (about 3 weeks) so I might've pissed someone off.

I'm in favour of UBI, but note that it'd require extremely strict immigration policy as well as good enforcement of it, which is generally something the left very much dislikes.

As already seen with covid aid, people wouldn't work in low wage jobs any more. This would lead to inflation or disappearance of some amenities. E.g. you might have to put your groceries into your bag yourself, or might have to pay a dollar extra for that service. This isn't something negative though, just a neutral change I guess.

It would help a lot of poor and suffering people, but note that even in countries with good unemployment benefits, homeless people still exist.

I think this decade tide is going to turn against public global social networks. It's going to happen for all platforms as people see how detrimental social media really is and how under equipped these companies are in moderating their network for misinformation.

It will not be end of social media but an exodus is going to happen from these existing networks to more privately deployed social networks where individuals from community moderate their own networks.

The only barrier at the moment is we need at least a dozen open source self hosted solutions. These have to be very simple to host and moderate. Even a layman should be able to host and moderate.

I'm sorry, I didn't qualify my statement well. I did mean in release situations when optimizations are enabled. But I'm not sure whether such optimizations are appropriate in debug builds. I suspect there may be cases where that would interfere with debugging. I know one shouldn't necessarily assume certain optimizations will occur, but after all the point of optimizations is to improve generated code while retaining functionality, and the article was stating that the moves will be an issue, which isn't always true (especially not in typical scenarios of using --release code).

However for completeness, below is the article's example, where you can see it inlines pretty much everything as you'd expect. But even if you make it so it won't inline functions (e.g. add println to them) it still optimizes the moves away, which is good.

It certainly is strange that Tether hasn’t been shut down for counterfeiting, which is essentially what they are doing.

Not sure about others, but Sony deleted some camera firmware DRM keys on unlock which permanently crippled the quality even if you relocked.

Have you had anyone close to you trying to end their life and you were helpless because someone else said no?

If you did and still think that people should suffer no matter what you should seriously rethink this.

If you did not then get to a palliative ward in a hospital and discuss with people.

Seriously - all these discussions from people who are either into religion or some books and did not experience the problem themselves is exasperating.

This is a very hackernews take. The majority of people love Twitter as a product. A vocal minority are upset about disinformation, but most people think it’s entertaining. We know this because it generates more clicks.

A ministry of truth that could regulate is also fraught with peril for obvious reasons. It’s a catch-22 if you value liberal philosophy.

What exactly is the nexus between "democracy requires defending" and "more smart people should be making fancy weapons"?

There are many serious threats to democracy in the US, but they're almost all internal: attempts to overturn elections, the confluence of increasingly disproportionate rural power with increasing urbal-rural polarization, etc. China is certainly a threat to democracy in Taiwan, and its commercial power sometimes limits free expression in the US, but it's difficult to imagine a mechanism by which it would threaten the US form of government.

On the other hand, it's not too difficult to imagine a mechanism by which increasingly brilliant feats of weapons technology inch us closer to a terribly destructive conflict by convincing the powers-that-be that they could win without too high a cost.

That answer is from 5.5 years ago. Rust was barely 1.0 then. A lot has changed in 5.5 years. See my godbolt link in the other reply for verification that it does optimize the moves away.

My kid and I have been playing with this for a couple hours. It's awesome. I have a couple of UI suggestions that would slickify certain aspects of it:

1) have a simplified representation of very short "simple" connections where adjacent nodes are wired together. This would make it easier to read some of the denser examples, and clean up cases where e.g. you just wire a knob or a const directly to a node's input and nothing else.

2) physical grouping would be a huge win for managing layouts

3) a sort of automatic combo of 1 and 2 would also be neat, where e.g. these closely-bound nodes like an operation with a knob stuck to it could automatically follow each other if you grabbed one and moved it.

Years ago (not sure if still true since I haven't used it in years), Adobe Illustrator had this nifty behavior where objects that were nested in complex groups within groups could be used to progressively select specific subsets of their groups by holding a modifier key. Modifier-click an object and that single object was selected. Modifier click again and it selects all of its groups' siblings. Once more and it jumps up to the parent group and all of its siblings. Etc until all the objects in the group are selected (which would have been the default un-modifier-ed select behavior. Not only is it a pretty useful way to select progressively larger portions of your group, it's a little UX sugar that lets you refresh your memory on what the group structure is.

To a few dozen HN readers who probably don't even own an LG phone ? I'm a pretty tech savvy person but the last time I had the time to install a custom OS on my device cyanogenmod was still around and cheap Chinese phones with custom roms were the only thing available in the affordable phone segment. Modern phones are cheap enough to replace when the OS updates stop coming and you can find distros with minimal crapware preinstalled and functional UI in any price range.

Trusting some internet rando not to inject spyware into a ROM build seems riskier than a first party distro. Ditto for OSS that doesn't really get vetted (I wonder how many people review the niche device support code in projects like these) and building from source would probably cost me more in hours spent on it than getting a new flagship.
> It certainly is strange that Tether hasn’t been shut down for counterfeiting, which is essentially what they are doing.

It really isn't counterfeiting. If you made fake hundred dollar bills and passed them off, that'll be counterfeiting. However, if you decided to give a bunch of people $100 IOUs and claim they're "totally backed by real dollars in a vault somewhere", but they're not, then it's just fraud. The NY AG and/or CFPB were able to prosecute/fine them for that, but they also got rid of the "totally backed by real dollars in a vault somewhere" claim, so whether they're currently committing fraud is unclear.
Why do you assume the price is determined by the open market? Who are the large scale crypto entities that would bet against Tether?

This happens every time the price dips, but the current best explanation/theory is that Tether prints more USDT with BTC backing from exchanges, who then use that USDT to buy BTC from the market. The issue is that the exchange is part of that loop.
