What NASA does, and has done since Apollo, isn't normal science and does not really fall under the category of "boondoggle".

it's special and different. NASA, and all the national peaceful space agencies, are about scientists using national pride to fund a wide range of projects, nearly none of which have direct impact on terrestrial applied science, but have captured the imagination of the public and leadership, and occasionally do provide practical terrestrial spin-offs (fewer than if we'd invested that money into terrestrial projects, but also very different from them).

look at what the dutch and later the english were doing with merchant ship technology in the 1500s-1800s. It wasn't just good business, it was propaganda to build the power of the Dutch and English states, playing critical roles in th e rapid expansion of those countries into world powers.

The US does what it does to prove that it can easily maintain space leadership (let's just pretend we didn't have to depend on Russia/Soyuz or Russian rocket tubes to put people into space). We can afford this (although, of course, people go starving).
Is this true in all parts of Switzerland? Or is it not an issue in the cities like Zurich, Geneva etc?
He wrote an open letter if you want to know.
They value their bottom line, and censorship is being done because they think it will help their bottom line, not because of some belief in being right. They're just trying to avoid controversy because it's bad for business.
BTW I formally propose to give the JWT acronym permanently back to the telescope, which less common but more meaningful than its silly security usage.
Such training programs are often part of a settlement or judgement against a company that transgressed.

The guilty individuals are long gone, but everyone after them has to take a mandatory ethics/antitrust/anticorruption/sensitivity class each year.
I will be curious to see if NY will stay off of Spotify forever, while JRE is there, or if once covid is not the main news story, that NY is back on Spotify.

Alexa, set a reminder for 3 years from now...
Many official looking order forms and paperwork in supply chains come filled out in all caps.

It's a descendant of all those forms you would fill in with pencil and they'd say "MUST HAVE CAPITAL LETTERS" for legibility.

I suspect that all those all caps descriptions come from when someone has quickly copied and pasted text from manifests and the like, directly into something customer facing.
I’ve been using Doom Emacs for over a year. Previously I was using nvim for over a year, then VSCode for a few years. Doom was reasonably easy for me to understand, use, and extend.
Alex Jones has been right about a number of things. Of course, he's frequently wrong, too, but censorship isn't aware of the differences.
Corporate ass-covering.
I think they meant the revenue Young will lose.
Way to miss the point. Spotify has a $100M deal with and actively promotes and supports Joe Rogan. Google/YouTube don't do that for Joe Rogan or any other channel spreading misinformation, nor does Apple.

(Yes, there are a lot of channels on YouTube that spread misinformation and are monetized/recommended, but YouTube didn't pay them $100M to maintain channel exclusivity.)
>Name one time in history the people on the side of censorship been in the right.

Germany's current censorship of Nazi imagery and holocaust denial.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strafgesetzbuch_section_86a#:~....

The US (and most countries) ban on child pornography's is also an extremely valuable and effective form of censorship.
> Why doesn't it prevent them? Well, the answer is obvious: they have a massive incentive not to.

They do have stuff in place to prevent that kind of stuff. See @dang's posts, especially re: that recent Bolt non-story.

Also, for stuff that's been removed, you can always enable the "showdead" option in your profile settings.
This article presents largely circumstantial evidence. But it’s true, many people will get fake vaccine cards because they believe in bodily autonomy.
stop pushing against the health and safety measures that have helped Canada avoid the brutal death rates that America has.
Do you really think there is dominance? I think there is far more engagement in individual YouTube Channels.

How exactly would tracking negative reviews of links and comments be of benefit to anyone other than the person receiving such feedback?

It seems to me that if someone is receiving negative feedback through their submissions by being Flagged or Pushed Down or even Killed on a site like HN they should be able to infer some value from that and take it as it is. Analyzing it would serve no greater purpose than protecting an ego that may be shielded from the truth too much already.

Chances are my comment is going to result in exactly what was described but I am self aware enough to know that the result is not unwarranted. I just need to stop being baited into such conversations.

I am trying to turn a new leaf and be more positive so I will concede that it hurts when a community rejects my opinions and comments and I can appreciate where you are coming from. I just think if you are smart enough for such things to affect you enough to pose such a question then instead of looking for a way to fight it, be proud that you are considerate enough to feel that the opinion of others means something to you. You are human!!
Pretty much none of the Fediverse is for-profit. People have tried, before. Nobody uses the for-profit Fedi services, because they're just bad. (There are for-profit hosting providers like Masto.host, but I don't think they count.)
I've worked at one of the companies you've listed, definitely had to do anti-trust training.
s/all/many/

But the point of the argument is still valid -- it is present often enough and not only for nefarious purposes.
Can anyone recommend the best alternative to Spotify that still has Neil Young? Ideally with a linux client and the ability to control one device from another device's linked client.

I listen to quite a bit of Neil Young and not-so-much Joe Rogan.
Any specific examples? He had legal consequences recently for something he did recently. That should be enough. If not, make a new law.
As I understand it, battery performance can be somewhat configurable on these, eg by adjusting BIOS settings for thermal controls to keep the CPU throttled.

If you don't mind the lack of gaming controls, they have some Pentium N6000-based models. The P2 Max (2022) with this claims 8 hours continuous 1080p playback.

Still expensive though - would be great to see a more
terminal-focused version with a lower power CPU and screen for a few hundred, and presumably a battery life measured in days.
I'm in the us with multiple domains. I have yet to receive one.
I agree that Spotify made the correct decision for the situation they were in, but it's weird that Spotify didn't even attempt to reconcile to save face.
accomplished nothing?

I usually wouldn't mind, but my theory involves personal information that would make me very easily identifiable. I'm not hiding my online identity by any means, but when it comes to work related things I'd rather not give the impression like I'm throwing dirt on any specific person. What I talked about in my comment is much more of a systemic issue from my perspective, and I feel like a coworker reading it knowing it was written by me could take it personally.

Edit: you're right though, it's definitely nothing like that. 1 job is more than enough for me :D
>AMD was shipping inferior chips back then

But this is false. The reason Intel had to pay laptop OEMs to not use AMD's chips in the first place, was because in the time window in question (2003-2006, before the core2* family), AMD's chips were superior.
> The problem is that so many elected officials don't abide by the rules that they push

Not a single "expert" or government official who pushed these mandates lost their income or livelihood. Many live in big houses and have the financial means to enjoy themselves regardless of their own restrictions.

In my opinion every "expert" and politician should have lost their paycheck the day they enacted this stuff. All these "work from home" people too--none of what most HN readers do is "essential" so they should have been shut down even if they could work from home. If the playing field was level, perhaps more people in positions of power would have questioned things. It takes an incredible amount of privilege to do virtually any of what we did over the last two years.
> “The only way to get compliance from people and get accommodation [is] if we demonstrate the ability to withdraw these [mandates] in the same manner in which we put them in,” Gottlieb added.

The only way to get people to wear masks and get vaccinated is to not make them wear masks or get vaccinated.

Also, didn't we just do this 9 months ago where cases were decreasing, everyone got vaccinated and the CDC said we could burn our masks since vaccines meant we couldn't spread the virus? Looking forward to our yearly "covid is over" every spring for the rest of my life.
It sounded to me like the problem part was where Amazon sold competing products, then used the agreement to price-fix between their own products and the third party's.

Example: Amazon sells a dongle for $20, the competitors sell them for $20. Amazon makes a deal with each competitor, then raises all the prices to $25.

(edit) I think this kind of example also: The competitor's dongle is priced at $24 on Best Buy. Amazon raises competitor's the price to $24, but keeps its own dongle priced at $20.

> The “Sold by Amazon” program resulted in prices for some products increasing when Amazon programmed its pricing algorithm to match the prices that certain external retailers offer to online consumers.

> As a result, when prices increased, some sellers experienced a marked decline in the sales and resulting profits from products enrolled in the program. Faced with price increases, online customers sometimes opted to buy Amazon’s own branded products — particularly its private label products. This resulted in Amazon maximizing its own profits regardless of whether consumers paid a higher price for sales of products enrolled in the “Sold by Amazon” program or settled for buying the same or similar product offered through Amazon.
Did any of the people banned for wondering aloud if the Covid-19 virus could have escaped from a research lab even get an apology? YouTube censors are a joke.
This is super cool. I'm going to have to "make my own Linux SBC" at some point, just to be able to say I did it. It was something I always wanted to do as kid after hearing my dad's stories of designing and building computers with his uncles in the 70's and 80's from parts catalogs.

Admittedly, having the whole system on a single package for the most part makes this decidedly simpler. Up until this point the hardest thing for me was doing the SoC <-> DDR3 traces in KiCad. They're remarkably less forgiving than PCIe, but I guess that is the curse of modern RAM chips not using differential IO. That and figuring how how to solder BGA. Making my first attempt with some cheaper FPGAs and a hotplate pretty soon.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I don't think this was a political ruling against abortion. This is small fries and they don't need to politic around with the injunction when they already have the option to have steak and overturn all federal abortion precedent via Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

Even then, it will be hard to argue that if it is legal conservatism or the personal beliefs of the judges, because they both come to the same conclusion. I say this as someone who supports the right to abortion, but the textual line between the Roe vs Wade and the constitution is tenuous at best, and even worse with reinterpretation under Casey.
It's not about ownership of the URL. It's about ownership of the token itself - the interesting thing is who issued it, how it got to you. Think downloading photocopied Mona Lisa VS obtaining the original directly from Leonardo VS buying the original from a second party. NFT is a certificate that says "this party minted it" and then people do transactions with that. People buy ugly or useless stuff just for the sentimental value of the transaction itself all the time (museum/zoo coins or signed photos, for example), NFT is just that but digitized.
Allowing a government to control those rights means they can and someone will take advantage of this in the future.

Let's say America's birthrate is too low because of the vaccine, the government could use that reasoning to suspend the right to choose.
I'm extra confused, as I'd interpreted "Ships from and sold by Amazon" as "Amazon supplied the goods and will vouch for their validity", whereas "Sold by ISL" would have meant that ISL was on the ultimate hook should the goods prove to be counterfeit.

Censoring/deplatforming/deleting Alex Jones was their first step towards banning vaccine documentaries, Fox news, the folk devil du jour, etc.

Censoring Hitler looks like a great idea in hindsight but what babys would have gone out with that bathwater?
You're an idiot. Math is everywhere. You can be ignorant of it, it won't kill you. But you're going to have a hard time in just about every endeavour I can think of.
I have the Sony XM4 headphones but it's not perfect. It takes nearly 30 seconds to connect to the computer with the voice saying "Power on", "Device 1 connected", "Device 2 connected". When I restart the computer, I must restart the headphones manually and wait. And Sony has not released a MacOS software to manage them.
What case was that? I would like to check it out
It may have initially been an attempt to avoid political topics. It may also have been because a moderator and users may have expected there will be a lot of non productive comments because people from both sides tend to be passionate.

Either way I see it now.

Edit Now I don't.

My first gen AirPods had the annoying habit of simply not playing audio about 5% of the time despite showing as connected in Bluetooth and everything. I still have memories of standing in the rain, at dark, after work, trying to un-pair and re-pair just to get them to play some damn music. Other than that they worked well.
User flags can do that. There’s also a flamewar response algorithm that reacts poorly to, for example, ideological wars between differing groups. You could email the mods using the page footer’s contact link and let them know that you’re seeing unusual behavior in the site; they can look into further, but might otherwise miss your comment here without the email.
It sounds like pretty ordinary corporate training. The idea is that you don’t want ordinary workers saying things that sound bad in discoverable messages, which is very likely if there is the ordinary amount of speculation about things they don’t really know about.

Whether any particular thing actually is an antitrust violation is for the lawyers to decide. I guess they decided wrong?
Ah cool, never really looked it up :)
Postings are penalised if the comments/votes ratio is high
That's literally the argument of "Repressive Tolarence". And no, people taking a principled stand would have been best as soon as the scapegoating and othering started.

If robust speech against Hitler had been possible that would be good too. But opposition was censored, wasn't it...

Think about it.
The Ministry of Truth knows the differences though.
Making it illegal to shout "Fire!" in a crowded theatre has its merits.
when you say "wall of text" do you mean I could have rewritten my points to be more effective (all my writing is propaganda and my goal is to convince more people, the proxy for which is upvotes)"? The reason it's structured the way it is is that I only spent a little time editing it after I banged out the essential points. "I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter."
Both of those things are illegal and therefore fall under the exemption that the parent post explained.
We ordinarily use libel laws and the fear of a libel lawsuit to censor people all the time. I don't know if that's what you meant by "illegal" but it's our mechanism to ensure accuracy in the media.
>Encouraging natural immunity is asking for hospitals to get filled up by people giving themselves covid on purpose.

there's no interest in talking about actual treatments or a $1 early treatment remedy [1], like every other disease. There's nothing that's patentable and profitable, so the focus is on vaccinations, which increasingly show more infections

The US DoD maintains detailed military personnel data to protect national security. Their health care surveillance data shows everything from neurological issues impacting US airforce pilots to 300% increase in miscarriages and cancer. The data is being scrubbed and military whistleblowers are trying to fight to bring it to public attention.

It's like Snowden, but from the healthcare department of the US military. [2]

These restrictions are so classist and so harmful to the underprivileged and working class it amazes me that the party that is championing them is the one who claims to represent said classes. Almost all of what I thought was true about my political allegiance fell completely apart over the last two years.
The mask is like having disc brakes. No mask is like having drum breaks. Walking up to someone and coughing in their face is no brakes. You may be more likely to save a life with the disc brakes, but I admit I occasionally ride bikes with drum brakes instead.

Being vaccinated is a strong tail light (having already had COVID before may be a strong tail light too). Being unvaccinated but never caught COVID is a legal but moderate tail light. Being deathly ill but sneezing on the produce is no tail light.
Biden said that if we take the vaccine, we won't catch coronavirus. This was misinformation. Why hasn't YouTube banned the White House's channel?
Just because their interests are opposed to mine doesn't mean I can't trust them. Teacher's unions can use their poor performance as a justification for increasing their own pay which comes straight out of my pocket and yet I'm able to trust them. I'm evaluating their deeds, not their motivations. Calling something a non-profit doesn't magically make it pure. The Red Cross and Goodwill have plenty of problems, as do governments around the world.
Consider speech that is legal but likely to offend most Americans. For example, a picture gallery of American soldiers killed in Iraq, where each picture is captioned "Death to Crusaders, death to America!"

If the 1a.gov platform is limited to citizens, it limits the number of accounts that can use that platform for agitating against Americans. If the platform is open to anyone in the world, it's going to end up as the #1 host of terrorist-sympathetic media in the world. Most of the pro-ISIS videos that the big platforms scrubbed back in 2015 or thereabouts were not illegal under the "imminent lawless action" test [1]; platforms mostly cleaned up under color of Terms of Service, not color of law. It would be hard enough to adamantly protect the First Amendment while removing actually-illegal material [2] if limited to Americans. Opening it to the whole world would make the moderation problem truly Sisyphean.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent_lawless_action

[2] It would publicly host worst content, for longer, because (I presume) it couldn't just use automated classifiers and outsourced workers to determine when a published item or a whole account crosses the line to illegality. If it did use these tools, it would end up recreating the "banned without clearly stated reasons or possibility of appeal" problem that makes people unhappy with the platforms that already exist.
Child pornography isn't censored inherently.

Child pornography isn't allowed because we believe that pornography requires consent of the involved parties and children are inherently incapable of consenting.
Yes that allows for shared memory. But the TypeScript compiler is written in TypeScript, and you can't put JavaScript objects (such as the TypeScript AST) in a SharedArrayBuffer. So you'd have to port the TypeScript compiler to another language that can target multithreaded WASM to do this.

You could also try sending JS objects between workers instead of using SharedArrayBuffer. But that copies the memory, which can take a significant amount of time, and of course also excludes certain kinds of advanced parallelism that require shared memory (instead of copied memory). Another drawback of using the JS worker model like this is that having multiple JS VMs probably means fewer CPU cores available due to there being multiple independent garbage collectors. I observed an effect like this when I tried to parallelize esbuild's JavaScript plugins. Running them in separate workers seemed to cause the gains from parallelism to stop when there were half as many workers as CPUs. I'm guessing is because half of the CPUs are busy collecting garbage for the other half. Using a language like Go with real shared memory presumably makes it easier for fewer resources to be spent on garbage collection.
I'm confused. I read Neil Young recently sold significant stake in his music catalog to an investment company [1]. Doing something like this pretty much nullifies that investment. Perhaps the particulars of the deal he signed still allows him to do this, in which case the investment company made a bad deal.

If Spotify is just doing this as a courtesy, without full permission from all relevant stake holders, or specific contractual cover, then the investment company should be looking to sue both Neil Young and Spotify.

Surely I'm missing something.

Alex Jones and his ilk strongly reflect opinions that are incredibly widely held by tens of millions of Americans. That's his entire business model after all, he just says what his viewers think back to them so they feel happy someone famous agrees with them.

If you disagree with Alex Jones, the only ultimate solution is to try and shift the opinions that tens of millions of his viewers hold.

People complain a lot about Alex Jones style thought these days. But what it actually is is the spread of the opinions and views millions of "salt of the earth" folk have always held.

The internet is forcing us to address the thoughts, beliefs and emotions of millions of non-college educated folk worldwide. Ultimately I think it's a very good thing.
> The only censorship that should happen is when something illegal is said.

If I own a public pool, and a minority of my patrons decide to ridicule another minority of my patrons, should I be able to have rules against making fun of people?

I mean, the first group isn't doing anything illegal. I guess they have a _right_ to be nasty, at my pool, just because I normally let in anyone who will pay $5?
I think it is more virtuous to send honest signals than to be a hypocrite.

Also, "virtue" in these cases usually just means conforming to social pressure and the norms of particularly vociferous factions of society.

Even if you happen to agree with those norms (which are seen as Draconian by many), the sanctimonious holier-than-thou attitude probably won't help the cause in the long run.
