The school has various religious books, including the Christian Bible, in the library and in some classrooms and I don't see them banning it for the same reasons.
I can't see any connection to that fallacy. The question was about remaining trustworthy when incentives don't align. Being trustworthy when incentives do align means nothing at all though, does it?
I like Neil, saw him in concert long ago and have listened to a ton of his music over many decades. Admittedly, hardly any in recent years unless I go on a nostalgia binge for a day or two. He is, or at least was, brilliant.

I agree with him here, mostly. I wish a bunch of other artists would do the same. Censorship is a complex issue, but there is a lot of mass delusion going on recently and a lot of lives lost because of it.

I haven't really listened to Rogan except clips of what he's said on this issue. But I liked him a lot on Newsradio.

It's not like it is going to hurt Neil, he doesn't need the money. I can't see a huge amount of people streaming his music anymore.

That said, if Neil wants to be "pro-science," he should have never pushed his high res music stuff which sure doesn't stand up to double blind testing.
I usually find the constraints are a pretty direct translation of how I would describe a part in non-tech nical writing.

Math definitely is helpful, but unless you are a full time MechE, it's not like you need to be able to pass a high school geometry class to be able to print a replacement part for something.

Hmm. But the HN account is only 17 days old.

The problem is that some people are going to react as if the name is trolling, whether it is or not (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). Since the account is only a couple weeks old, I feel like we should just rename it to avoid woe. It's not the worst case, of course.
Rolling Stone, the publication that lied about Oklahoma ERs over ran by "horse dewormer overdoses" who had a room of gun shot victims that could be seen? (bc you know... Oklahoma rolls hard with those gun shot victims)

Maus is an incredible book. Banning such a deeply engaging depiction of the holocaust because it contains the word "damn" is pearl-clutching to the point of self-parody. It is difficult to imagine another book that could hold the attention of 8th-graders anywhere close to as tightly as this one. I've seen someone read it cover to cover in the middle of a party because someone said "You should check out this book."

Maybe the board really is ignorant of it content and only exist to quibble. If they are actually motivated to keep their kids ignorant, there is no way in hell they are going to say so in public! Either way, they are doing their kids a huge disservice.

And, regardless of intentions, this is a poster-child example of dubious book-banning. You might as well re-write '1984' because you think kids can't handle mean characters. Or, similarly: https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/26/media/china-fight-club-ending...
You're not the only one, trust me. Came away with zero value after reading it twice.
> It’s a show that surprisingly on these times, doesn’t have an agenda or ideology behind.

I used to think this, but the more popular JRE has become, the more and more I believe it less. The program is deliberately sold as being "neutral" - hence its popularity. Rogan's ideology is "question everything" and "consider everything" no matter how crazy it is. That's the problem - it's slowly turning into a conspiracy theorist field day and an anti-science field day. And it's not facilitating critical thinkers, it's facilitating anarchy.

Anyone who makes a living in media has some sort of agenda - which is to make money. This is why you'll never have an unbiased source in news. It's just literally impossible because at some level, money is involved. JRE is proof you can never truly provide an objective 3rd party viewpoint on news and current topics.

As an example, I've watched the JRE episode on Alex Jones. It's surprisingly well done for how much a wack job Jones is. Rogan does a great job of dismantling Jones's hyperbole and gets him to be, essentially, genuine. While fascinating to watch, it's setting an odd precedent - no matter how much of a wack job you might be, you can always end up on a show with millions of subscribers. If Jones wasn't given a megaphone, he'd just be some village idiot that everyone would ignore.

If Rogan was more objective, less controversial and bring on less interesting guests, he'd essentially be boring. He's the modern day Howard Stern, where people tune in to see "what will JRE's guests say next!".
If you have more than one iDevice or use ear security tips where the case lid can't close all the way, the iDevice fires a modal popup to show you battery info on half the screen.

Oh, and if you want to make a call with the phone itself, it switches to the AirPods twice, even when you don't want them and they're not in your ears.
This has nothing to do with censorship.
Well, they are paying me a shitload of money as salary. That is what that doesn't make sense to me.
It went a little further than that. IIRC it was specifically higher quality than the human ear could possibly hear. Young's response to this rational, science-based criticism was just pathetic; actual fact-based reasoning had no chance against his ego.

Excuse me if this latest drama of his makes me roll my eyes.
Well considering OP hasn’t even proven disinformation by Rogan yet, let’s start there.

And Rollingstone has multiple examples of either exaggerating stories or making them up out of whole cloth.
Games with less complexity are generally easier to balance, so one shouldn't be too surprised.

I'd consider Tetris to be far more impressive design-wise in that it's a easy to learn but difficult to master, despite its simplicity. It's a mind-blowing experience to watch the best Tetris players in the world. The skill gap between a beginner Wordle player and the best in the world simply cannot be that great, by nature of the game's design. I guess a large part of the reason is because the player can't alter the game state: they can only gain information. It doesn't allow for complexity to emerge.
And then he had Bernie Sanders on. Should we disavow Bernie Sanders for speaking to a man who has conversations with horrible people?

Walter Cronkite had a conversation with Fidel Castro and it was broadcast to millions around America. Was that an abomination, spoiling the minds of the impressionable people too weak to think for themselves?
Unless fully woke, someone is a media dickhead? Wow…
I doubt even the "real world" ones will make much impression or sense for kids of that age.

The farmer Bob example for the fence? Definitely real world. Minimum wage farm hand might not be the one doing the buying of fencing material that's true. 10 year old kid learning that math? Doesn't care one bit about fences, even if you make it "Your family has a dog and you just moved into a new house and there's no fence ..."

Minimum wage framing crew helper. You forgot your square. Definitely real world. But you got your tape measure. Use Pythagoras to figure out if your wall is going to be square. Does the minimum wage framing guy care when he's an 11 year old kid? Nope!

Figure out how high your school building is with math and without going to the roof and a loooong "tape measure"? That was cool! Especially since we actually went outside and did it.

Also, and this isn't math but at least science related: gasoline fumes are flammable. Very. Real world. Minimum wage lawn mowing crew guy might want to remember. Loved the presentation our chemistry teacher did. Put some gasoline into a small can and tried to light it. Nothing happens. Had to pour it back out. Next step: let us calculate exactly how much gasoline we'd have to put in for the fumes to be ignitable. Then he did just that, lit it and man that was a nice explosion and flying can!
I should have clarified NSO group. They are an Israeli company with many ex members of Israeli NSA (whatever it's called).
I am not particularly fond of Joe Rogan, but I respect Rogan's principles a lot more than Neil Young. Neil Young wanted to make a political statement and the media ran with it to try to pressure Spotify into breaking a large multi-million dollar contract. Neil Young's music on Spotify is prob worth very little. I'd be surprised if Neil Young was making a $2k/mo from Spotify. Neil Young had very little to lose by making this political statement to help the media, which I'm guessing he prob got some money from the attention of pro-vax people that wanted to try to censor Rogan and thought by supporting Young that they were going to be able to have any pull.
The conservatives like Josh Hawley who are writing these bills haven’t been in office long, he was elected in 2019 and is a central anti crt figure. He has never been a free speech advocate.

I guess I’m just not sure which specific people you mean.

Certainly there exist conservatives who hate being censored but love playing censor, that’s nothing new. I’m not sure it’s even hypocritical, they just have values I find to be pretty awful.
They kept it on one company so that wouldn't be a confounding factor.
Applications have to ask permissions for Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.
>My argument is that a quality PC does not have that problems.

Part of nvidia's drivers often contain workarounds and hacks specific to games. Sometimes they have gone wrong and bricked a game until the developer or nvidia can fix it. Buying a "quality" PC doesn't alleviate you from having to use nvidia drivers.
As has been mentioned in other comments that is also easy to avoid by simply making it impossible to download apps on older phones.
Which is the point the person you’re replying to is making: Taking people to a strip club is a normal (personal preferences & judgements aside) and legal thing to do… outside of a professional setting.

The training is “please don’t do these things at work so we can limit our liability to claims” and not “these are completely unacceptable behaviours so please stop doing them”.
I like the JRE. I like that he listens to everyone and engages with them. The world could do with more of that rather than this tribalism shit.

On one of his recent podcasts, he supports fox news keeping it's guests from specific no-no topics because they don't want to loose their credibility.

The irony, obviously, being that Joe should also keep his guests and himself away from certain no-no topics. That's the thing though. Joe doesn't see himself as a credible news source, a voice of a movement, or any of those other things because accuse him of. It's mainly just him hanging out with his buddies smoke'n (sometimes literally) and joke'n.

That's the entertaining and appeal of the show.

Edit

It's my fault for grouping them into the same sentence, but I didn't claim (or mean to) that his show is just junk entertainment because it's just people talking. My claim is that's the appeal of the format.

He obviously has credible and knowledgeable guests on his show. I said Joe doesn't see himself as a news source or a voice of a movement. Martial arts, working out, and DMT, however, yes he probably thinks of himself as someone to take advice from there.

coding the choice in or making the choice is already at least half-way immoral as such a choice is an exercise of power, and the moral tends to end where power starts. The moral approach here is to decrease the power you wield over others - i.e. to decrease the energy of the strike and possible damage in the fastest possible way which usually is emergency brake, and thus in particular decreasing the importance of who is going to be hit. I.e. the main moral choice isn't between hitting A or hitting B, it is between hitting at 60mph or at 10mph (and if you have a time to choose whom to hit and to act upon that choice, you definitely have the time for emergency brake)
Pick an accesible online dictionary. Then use a pattern like the following:
- Lookup the definition of the word for the day. Take the first word in the definition.
- Lookup the definition of that word. Take the first word in its definition.
- Repeat, maybe?
- Use the first word in the definition as the key.
Easy to verify but hard to reverse.
If I had kids I think I would encourage the exact opposite behavior. As a scientist by training I have been trained to be skeptical, question everything, and do my own research. I would hope to pass that along to my children.

I also think you've set up a straw man to knockdown when you equate being skeptical to "question[ing] the medical establishment without data". There's no shortage of data out there on and around this topic. You can search on PubMed and literally read for weeks.
My guess is you don't have children under 5 who can't be vaccinated right now. Yes, there is a low chance of complications, but it's still the most deadly infectious disease for that age group [1] and I'd rather have my kids obtain antibodies through vaccination than disease.

> Apple's stuff _always_ have issues and annoying ones

True. I’m fully into apple ecosystem with iMac, Apple tv, macbook and phones. So, naturally I use airdrop a lot, to the point that sometimes I depend on it to work. But, every few days it just stops working. Even after turning off Bluetooth, wifi on phone and mac it just doesn’t shows the device. Sometimes I just give up and sometimes when I don’t feel like giving up I go up to even restarting devices. This is something that I don’t expect from Apple.
I have found that sometimes Abebooks and foreign Amazon sites have lower prices for books than Amazon.
So you keep buying from them? Seems a bit crazy to me. I’d rather find a reputable seller for things where it matters.
Most ridiculous bug I’ve encountered is that if you have Notes open in list view and with an external monitor, it will consume 100% CPU non-stop, killing the battery life and overheating the Macbook Pro and eventually physically damaging the device (screen connection fails).
Take a step back from your immediate experience. Observe your behavior, your reactions, your emotions. Realize that all of those are programmed, and that you can (with some effort) rewrite the programming to better suit you.
Just imagine the TLS handshakes.
>Regardless of their intentions this is a bad idea and deserves every line of criticism it receives.

That's a fair criticism, even if I don't agree with it. I don't think it's possible to imagine a world where consensus is shared widely enough that 'mutually assured destruction' of the financial network prevents transaction censorship, particularly when zero knowledge based networks allow validation of network transactions without knowledge of who is transacting, what transaction is taking place, or when it might occur.

>Governance, law, and financial regulation exist for reasons that programmers have no place or reason to replace.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that governance, law, or financial regulation should go away. Those things seem important. The governments of the world can enforce those things like they always have. They just lose the ability to manufacture more money when it's time to fight a new war or pay off one special interest or another (but only if most of the people participating in that society buy into the idea that the government is not a good steward of that power)

Imagine a world where the people ruled by a government have some say in whether they're doing a good job with monetary policy or not. I certainly don't have that today - I get to punch the 'RED GUY' or 'BLUE GUY' button on my voting ticket but neither of them are particularly interested in changing something that fundamental.
Not really. A really, really good laptop can be given for 1% of the cost of paying the developer. IMO, it would be best to provide the best tool for the trade.
I'm curious what the point of that link is? Usually people post such links either to get around paywalls or because there are problems with the original site such as overload or the site have something on it obnoxious that the archiver doesn't copy.

No paywall in this case that I can see, nor overload, nor anything obnoxious. Heck, the site doesn't even set any cookies.
Yes I understand I only made this recently. I've read for a while and wanted the ability to vote and comment so I made it. I updated my github[1] to prove ownership as well and put it in my about. If there are any issues brought up to me by other users about my name I would be open to renaming but at this time I would much prefer to use the username i've been using.

By your logic the Jomon culture imported the knowledge of ceramics from Moravia because the Venus of Dolní Věstonice predates the Jomon culture. I'm not quite sure this is how it works.

> they could not possibly have ever made or even tasted pasta sauce, as Christopher Columbus hadn't yet been born when the last Roman died, nor could he have invented the tomato before 1492

You seem to have a penchant for continuously shifting goalposts. What does sauce to have with this?
What if JR donated twice the predicted proceeds (or x million dollars, whichever is higher) to the charity of Neil Young's choice?

My guess is it wouldn't matter:

Neil Young is not prepared to spend 3 hours discussing ideas calmly and politely with somebody who listens carefully and challenges him.
Probably true today, but I would bet (if you're willing) that thirty years from now more people will be listening to Neil Young's music than old episodes of the JRE. Podcasts are perishable; music recordings and (especially) compositions have no expiration date.
That I should stop trying to reason with people who are so biased by their political leanings that they ignore common sense.
> Young, healthy males have a statistically zero risk of severe COVID complications, and a statistically small but non-zero risk of myocarditis.

Now imagine having a healthy 7-year old son, and having an excruciatingly difficult conversation with your spouse about why he shouldn’t get vaccinated. Or having to cut off ties with your mother-in-law, preventing your children from seeing their grandmother, because she thinks you are actively harming your own young children by not getting vaccinated despite having natural immunity.

These people are destroying the very bonds of society.
Certainly we can and do talk about stuff like this. The issue is the other way around: there have been tons of threads about topics just like this already. That leads to having the same discussion over and over again. Since the core principle of HN is intellectual curiosity, it's important to avoid too much repetition (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...). That's particularly important when it's repetition of a high-indignation topic, since indignation shuts down curiosity even faster than repetition does.

BigTech bannage in the eras of Trump and Covid is a classic Major Ongoing Topic (MOT). Such topics have a way of appearing over and over again and getting upvoted a lot, because people feel strongly about them. The problem is that there's little curiosity value to be gained from having them repeat so much—they tend to be generic and to metastasize into flamewars. Yet sometimes the MOT mutates in an interesting way. What's best for HN is if the interesting milestones in a MOT saga get front page threads, but not all the garden-variety instances.

Over the years, we worked out a heuristic for this which turns out to work well: it's called SNI (Significant New Information). Each time there's SNI, it makes sense to have a fresh discussion because there's something fresh to discuss. Each time there isn't SNI, it makes sense not to have a frontpage discussion, because that discussion has already taken place, usually many times. We came up with this approach after the Snowden MOT of 2013, in which users were rightly complaining when one article after another would show up on the front page repeating things that had already been reported and discussed.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

Moderators haven't touched this post, btw—users flagged it. We sometimes turn off flags when the article is interesting, contains SNI, and is able to support a substantive HN thread. But I don't think this story really clears that bar. It's a yet-another case in a long sequence. People already know how they feel about it and even already know what they have to say about it. That makes for HN badness.
I've seen people build one-of-a-kind custom electronics for themselves. There are PCB manufacturers that specialize on small orders with no setup costs (I think you can get as little as 3 copies?) and you can 3D print or laser cut the case if you need one.

Though the thing that does stick out to me as a software engineer is that you need parts and thus can't iterate on your ideas nearly as quickly. You can't just pull in a library or something, you have to order a part and wait for it to physically get to you. And the cost of any mistake is in actual real money because wiring something incorrectly can destroy things.
He had the option to simply leave Spotify and state the reasons why. But instead he chose to make threats about leaving unless someone else was cancelled.

When that didn't work, he moaned about Spotify's poor audio quality on his way out the door, adding something about young people believing everything they hear. I can't see anything respectable in that coarse of action.
Re: the first example - Wealthfronts dashboard aggregates all your investments (if you give it access). The "single stock bet" is being pulled from the user's Robinhood account. The other two investments (with the purple icon) are through Wealthfront.
You've misquoted me twice in a short period of time, I didn't say that HIV would be preferable to the Delta variant. You're right, I would "prefer" COVID over HIV, but my personal preference is not a good metric of the overall severity.

In abstract, given the choice between something that had a (say) 30% chance to kill me but was mostly harmless in the long-run and HIV, I would "prefer" the former over the latter. But I also think that the former is more severe. In my view you're equating two things which are not the same.

For some context, I lost 6 family members in a short period of time to the Delta variant of COVID. My experience with COVID is not "media campaigns" but funerals.
