Unfortunately, this. Censorship on moral grounds, amplified by a lack of epistemic humility, is a key characteristic of modern western culture. Not only western, and modern, of course - I suspect that the feeling that 'I am more correct than the other' is a natural property of consciousness itself; an understanding of one's own mind is always more intuitive than a theory of mind.

Anyways, I feel - and would be great to be wrong here - that there is no technocratic solution to prevent censorship in the context of culture that demands, even begs for it. Splitting facebook, making twitter a utility, developing government-controlled platforms - none of these sound convincing.
Indeed, i had forgotten that nice part of the American labour system.

They could have blown the whistle anonymously then.
Good riddance.

Yes, some things depend on facebook. In vast majority of cases they really shouldn't.

Facebook, Google, Amazon, all these companies can only get away with their worldwide monopolies for so long. Eventually they will get regulated. It's a good thing.

Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG9CE55wbtY

At the 7'15 point, the speaker makes a big joke about Shakespeare "being seven, being in someone's English class" and the audience rolls over with laughter -- the joke being, of course, that it's ludicrous to think anyone ever tried to teach English to the greatest English writer of all time. The speaker continues with the same idea and same joke about Shakespeare's father.

But really? Isn't the logical conclusion the opposite? That Shakespeare's English teacher was the best English teacher there ever was, because (he) helped him grow into the author we know now? That his father, or his mother, or someone, probably helped him?

Instead we have this idea that Shakespeare, like Jesus, was born perfect and that what he had to do was overcome the stupidity and shortsightedness (and meanness) of everyone around him, until he could explode and really be himself.

This idea is a tale for little kids. But it's not just absurd, it's destructive.
I think at the exact same time you posted this I also recommended an Erich Fromm book.
I haven't used PHP in years.[1]

That said PHP gets a lot of undeserved flak and also even if it is not the best tool for everything, - if you end up using it you definitely should know how to use it to your avantage.

That's a lovely story, but it's also why JR is bleeding red ink. Here's a typical story about one line that was serving an average of 19 (nineteen) passengers per day and made a loss of about US$3m/year for decades until it was finally axed in 2014 thanks to a providential landslide.

I've got an asus rog zenith ii extreme. I had an MSI board before that had trouble with the RAM and had a back and forth with MSI on before just sending it bacj.

As the other commenter pointed out, pcpartpicker is the way to go. My method was to find the CPU, chassis and amount of ram I wanted, enter them into pcpartpicker and pick out the test of the components with their help for compatibility except ram. When it came to ram, the motherboard providers have a list of "officially supported" sticks, down to the model number. I went through that list checking reviews and availability and ended up with some g skill ram.
I am not quite sure if Jamstack has improved anything. I feel like the entire web stack is spinning wheels and hardly progressing.
Most have had the joy of building or organizing a thing and seeing their effort unfold. Some have enjoyed the same joy creating things with others. If there are nation wide efforts to accomplish something and people get to work at it themselves and marvel at the fruits of their labor the natural question is: What shall we build next? If a nation is overly focused on the self over the collective those efforts will decline and the question what to build next is drowned in the noise.

The new man, who talks in text over the internet, is rendered without the context a face to face conversation offers. Take how one can ask people to do something for you. 30 years ago I would frequently ask people to do things that took hours. I would buy something to drink, cook a meal, take them out for drinks or dinner or do something for them later. When I got online it took me quite some time to realize you cant ask random strangers for more than a few sentences worth of assistance or worse, they would get furious if I send them a pm.

Marveling at our collective accomplishments is now even further away. I'm not even going to ask anymore what we can do together to turn the tide or progress in some other way. I'm no longer going to offend anyone with the idea that if they are the one who can do something they are also responsible for the outcome.

This clip from coneheads was brilliant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6ANOBnwpSA

This is who we are now.
Why do PHP developers insist on calling themselves artisans?

Give me a call when PHP ditches backwards compatibility and cleans out all the shit from the standard library - 5845 global functions always available, most of which you are just supposed to know are shit... Just a nightmare.
A non prod breaking scenario I have seen - only towards the end of a fairly long refactoring exercise, when tests for certain edge cases start failing, you finally understand the full purpose of the code you are refactoring.
I shouldn't but I continue to be surprised by the levels of clickbait and lies that journalists will stoop to. Rather ridiculous to pretend a typical disclosure of risks to investors actually constitutes a threat.

I mostly just despise commuting. It's a huge waste of time, money and energy and broadly pointless. Not to mention how uncomfortable and unreliable the situation can be regardless of mode of transport - your car can be stuck in gridlock, your train will be delayed/cancelled, your bus can get diverted...

I'd rather just go up sporadically for socials as and when they occur. If I could just walk into an office that would be great, but that's impractical because flats/houses in walking distance of major employment centres are really fucking expensive (or extremely poor quality for the price, you decide!). Not to mention that I have a partner who works in a completely unrelated field such that we wouldn't both be able to benefit from that arrangement.

And if everyone who works in an office or from home tried to benefit from living within walking distance of work, all at once, they wouldn't be able to because there's just not enough accommodation in those areas for it to work.
Yeah I worked with a company that had a very incompetent employee. They almost had enough warnings to fire the employee, then the employee came out as trans. No one was phased by that, however it made them impossible to fire. They couldn't do it without it appearing that it was due to that employee being trans. So they hired an extra person to make sure the job got done.
Please do, that will help getting rid of it completely in the future..

It’s a government institution, not a volcano. Everything about how it works is quite deliberate. Specific, identifiable human beings take positive actions to make sure it happens and make sure you personally are there, having it happen to you. This passive framing is bizarre.

Begin against one vaccine does not make one anti-vaxxer. For example, I have all vaccines, my kids are fully-vaccinated, but we never get the flu shots for the same reason a COVID-19 vaccine could be hypothesized to be doing an evolutionary pressure on virus. Also, when we vaccinated our kids, we gave their shots at the upper age boundary, not the lower one for the vaccine, and we spaced them out by at least 6 months. We never gave more than one shot at a time (unfortunately, there are some combox vaccines with no alternatives). In general, I think a vaccine against an RNA virus is a flawed strategy and we should focus on prevention (totally ignored by all governments and replace with ridiculous mandates and measures) and antivirals. For example, the 6-foot distance after we know for 2 years that this virus is airborne makes me angry. The same with sanitization theaters, with the mandatory vaccinations, etc. All these, actually, created the highest number of anti-vaxxers in the human history!
It's just a matter of time before some company insider is paid to manipulate their employers' stock through the power of the /r/WallStreetBets self-defined autists.

I made a little money of it last year when the squeeze squoze, and I don't see it happening again.

I was late to get in, but not too late; the next morning, the price had doubled, so I sold half. I held on to the rest just to be along for the ride, but I think that morning was the real squeeze. I think I bought some extra on a dip, sold half of that for double again, and sold the rest on a minor bump a few months later.

Hectic stock like this can be an easy way to make a quick profit as long as you remember to buy the dips and sell at any bump that comes along. I bet that's what the big guys on Wallstreet did to make way bigger profits than I'll ever be able to.
Eh. All journalism is subjective. The only thing one can change is the stylistic tone to sound more formal. Make no mistake, all articles are subjective even when made to sound dry and robotic. The only thing that isn't subjective is statistics, but such data is missing much qualitative information and can be manipulated to fool you as well.

Much of the way we interpret the world is colored with a qualitative human experience. World War 2 is given to us with a bunch of numbers and statistics is meaningless. Unfortunately this "qualitative" is inevitably colored with bias.

So in short I'm saying, the author of that book isn't disguising his book with a false sense of subjectivity. He is presenting his view point as a human narrative that is inevitably colored with his bias; and that is not always a bad thing.

> show some proof that it's not the users flagging or down voting

Not possible to do using any normal means, of course. So, not a very useful hoop to ask somebody to jump through.

But I can testify that although I've never been abusive, I seem to be in an indefinite extreme rate-limiting and shadowban status. I'd link to my innocuous posts for proof, but... they are hidden from you by the shadowbanning system. ...And I'd like to respond to you right now, but I'm being rate-limited.

Is this your daily experience with HN, having your posts hidden from others and having to try to post your comments ten times over a period of several hours? If not, I suggest you are not fully aware of the level of suppression on HN.
My point exactly. I don't think politics has any place in this discussion. The request was for good book recommendations for everyone, not good book recommendations for republicans, christians, feminists etc
Shared hosts are still there, and are cheaper and much simpler to use than your average cloud based deployment. Some even support these new hipster programming languages ruby and python.
PHP share-nothing architecture is awesome. It's amazingly simple and it scales to arbitrary size.
Cool, Thanks. To me, 4-D rotation is completely “unpredictable” or “contraintuitive”, or both. I wonder, you as a developer of that visualization, did you get an intuition for it? do you know in advance how the projection changes when you apply one or the other rotation?
We even had facebook before facebook in many countries. In Poland - grono.net and then nasza-klasa. They weren't better, but at least they weren't worldwide monopolies.
> Firstly, Japan actually has very good integrated ticketing, namely you don't buy tickets at all. You wave your phone/card over the stall on entry and wave it again at whatever station you exit from, and the system calculates the fare at exit.

You missed having to go through interchange gates or, more commonly, exit and re-enter when you're changing lines. The fact that ticket payment is easy mitigates the damage somewhat, but the fact remains that tickets aren't integrated and this has genuine costs; people often end up travelling a longer way around so that they can stay within a single operator's network, because the fare structure incentivises them to do that.
It is a bit much. Millions of people will feel it, should Meta opt to leave the EU.

The question will of cause be: Would the EU be better for without Facebook and Instagram. Some of believe so, personally, not having any interest in any Meta products, I just want to see what will happen if they leave. It might be good for European companies, as Facebook has seriously hurt small website bureaus, but it might also be a disaster for other businesses.
Most of those cheap hosts served PHP via FastCGI not mod_php.

The flowchart shows privatized JR assumed 40% of debt. I don't think "small fraction" is the right description. By the way, the flowchart was the plan, but it didn't go according to the plan. Land sales never happened for complicated reasons.

I think you are moving the goalpost. Yes, privatization itself can be distasteful. But Shinkansen was privatized, not handed out. JR paid for the privilege, and it was fair price (at least it was market price). With the benefit of hindsight, it can be argued it should have been more, but JR took real risk. Money printing wasn't the foregone conclusion.

I agree JNR could have been normalized without privatization, and probably should have. On the other hand, I don't think it was about paying public servants. Normalization of JR was mostly about making obvious but unpopular decisions, and that's in fact one thing the private does better than the democratically accountable public.
> Because there are an awful lot of small businesses that sell almost exclusively through Facebook

I find the TED format of a talk disturbingly creepy. Yes, rehearsing and dumbing-down a bit your public talk is a good thing. But when it is done to such absurd extremes it becomes really disturbing, almost scary.

It is a purely US-style thing; like exaggerated smiling and plastic-white teeth. Sure, smiling is nice and brushing your teeth is also nice. But when somebody has teeth that are unnaturally white and they show them all the time through their forced smile and uninterrupted eye contact, it becomes very scary. The stuff of nightmares. Like a TED talk.
> it is a sign of weak minded subservience.

So is wearing seatbelts, following a queue properly, paying taxes, and any other number of things we do while out in society...

It's funny how my parents generation had the same arguments against seatbelts and some refuse to wear them even today and get ticketed... or suddently put them on when seeing a police car...

They're not dead yet so in their mind they are right, and seatbelts are useless.

Are you going to argue against those as well?
Yes please, it's going to be good for the mental health of a lot of people. We'll find new ways of communicating, people always did. In five years we'll be like "do you remember when we had Facebook? How could we do [something new I can't foresee] back then?"

Firstly, as a meta comment I think HN has jumped the shark.

Secondly, come on. You can listen to around 200 audiobooks per year while commuting, doing chores, excercising etc.

Lastly: if you only ever want to read a couple of few books, these should be the dictionary and thesaurus.
Its easily dismissed as conspiracy but having read many of their supporting arguments and seeing the SI (Short Interest) being over 220% myself along with the SEC report suggesting that shorts never closed their position... I can't say I would dismiss the possibility of another short squeeze...
What’s amazing about Dr. Suess is how much creativity and fun he packs into a very simply written book. Most children’s books are so asinine. “Sally went to the farm. She saw a pig. Sally can drive a tractor. Etc. etc.” There is rarely a point to the book. Dr. Suess uses similarly simple language: “You can think about red. You can think about pink.” While simple, the underlying message is usually profound, and that makes it so much more interesting.
Yeah that's a good point, union-busting is a qualitatively different strategy that is much less doable as a public institution. There's also some quantitative stuff around payment of the management class. I don't believe that you need to pay someone millions of USD for them to do a good job, but there are plenty of important jobs done by public servants that would benefit from simply paying people more and getting access to people trained up in private industry.

Ask HN: To submit an early version of what you are working on SHOW HN?
If someone submit an early version of the product he/she is working on SHOW HN and did not get any users does it mean what the person is working on is not good, please i need someone to explain to me and is there any other community except from hackernews i can launch my product ?
Now that the thread is wiped, want to talk more about those consequences? May as well be candid.

I think there would be a relatively violent (in online terms, not literally) reaction as people try to figure out where to go. Not only would Facebook not go away, but even if they did, the replacement wouldn’t be better.
All because FB happens to be there, and happens to be popular within some groups. If it disappeared, however, it would quickly be replaced. The only value it brings is "being popular".

Unless you have absolutely no clue about other scripting languages that already exist on Debian, just don't do it, there's so many better options that actually last and can even be read by other people.
If Apple could do that they wouldn't need to control the signing process. They do because most of what you're discussing as "intellectual property" isn't protected from independent implementations.
I listened to a video from a guy who is most probably a white nationalist and most probably a fascist in the UK quite a while ago. While I find his view abhorrent he understands the free-speech debate better than anyone else.

To paraphrase him:

> Those who cry about free speech are weak, they don't have political power. Those that are strong (those in power) will censor.

His view of free speech is that whichever group doesn't have power and being censored will claim to want free speech. When they get power (culturally or politically) they will then start to censor.

I happen to think his framing of it is the most correct. I've personally seen happen over the years.
