Not that simple. Why inconvenience someone who paid for their ticket and not have the staff come on the next plane? There’s an easier solution, find someone to volunteer giving up their seat for a voucher or some attractive offer. People’d volunteer to give up their seat

Proving that the initial act by the airline staff was complete unjustifiable.
In the 1990s I met Fred Hoyle after a lecture he gave on panspermia and life originating from outside the earth and I found him a totally engaging and extremely intelligent individual. He even autographed one of his books on astronomy for me that I took along to his lecture.

Furthermore, I think that Fred Hoyle's scientific achievements were never fully recognized when he and his colleagues^ weren't given the Nobel prize for their now-famous and groundbreaking 'B2FH' paper Synthesis of the Elements in Stars.

If ever a group of researchers were cheated out of a Nobel prize then they were it - but then, Hoyle sometimes rubbed people up the wrong way and perhaps the overly-politically minded Nobel committee didn't want any flak. (Perhaps his blunt Yorkshireman style of calling a spade a 'spade' in the presence of BS wasn't considered sufficiency genteel enough for him to be a member of that elite mob.)

That said, I reckon Hoyle and his collaborator Chandra Wickramasinghe jumped the gun on panspermia as the evidence for such an extraordinary claim isn't there. As Carl Sagan once remarked "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

I've only read the abstract of this article (not having immediate access to the paper), but I have to wonder why we're now requestioning whether life - and thus the Cambrian Explosion was the result of terrestrial (i e.: Earth-based abiogenesis), or cosmic intervention in the absence of any new (and extraordinary) evidence.

That’s not escalation, it’s them asserting their property rights. They will receive monetary punishment from the FAA if they don’t pay the required compensation but you have no right as a passenger to refuse to leave a seat.

I wonder how far technological independence can take you. There are still plenty of ways to cut you off from the infrastructure: your banks, your payment providers, your datacenter providers, etc. In theory, "they" can come after any company that your business depends on and that can be vulnerable to "cancel culture". It's now easy to make you so toxic nobody will want to take the risk of associating with you.

Nobody is "supporting" the staff in question; you're just making that up. It's a huge reach and a sloppy argument.

Unruly passengers represent a clear danger to the safe operation of flights. They cannot be tolerated. Period, paragraph. There is, obviously no such danger posed by the actions of airport security, on the ground, and in any case, airlines have no jurisdiction over those people. They absolutely do have jurisdiction over passengers, though.

If you get on a plane you agree to fucking obey the directions of flight staff. It's federal law.
You measure. You measure how often that setting was used, you analyze behavioral changes before/after, you measure retention changes, you measure complaints & feedback.
My fiancé got me an OLED Switch and BOTW this past Christmas. When I first started BOTW, I was like...umm...what do I do in this game? Then I realized: ANYTHING I WANT. Already have over 150 hours in the game. You can literally just wander around and enjoy. Find new and clever ways to kill enemies -- or befriend them if that's your style. You can play the game the way you want and at your own pace.

Yeah, the game has some flaws, but I'd say it's the most rewarding game experience I've had in my 30+ years of gaming. You know a game is good when you don't even want to finish it!
The general American public is sadly more willing to hear the plights of people when they aren't brown, foreigners, or Muslim.

Large numbers of laypeople mistaking Joe Rogan for a researcher and JRE as a venue for scientific discussion is not a sign of healthy public discourse. It is a sign of low levels of scientific engagement and scientific literacy among the public. Neil Postman warned us about this risk back in the 80s. He saw that the repackaging of serious subjects to fit the audiovisual medium would erode the boundaries between information and entertainment and create a dangerously misinformed public.

Joe Rogan is an entertainer. He is not a researcher, and the JRE is not a forum for scientific discussion. Mistaking entertainment for science is a strong sign that you need to deepen your engagement with scientific material outside of the audiovisual entertainment medium.

Trading-view does integration with brokers because it earns affiliate money.

That's literally not on the same league.
Makes me think about how the environment of casinos are designed - including pumping in higher levels of oxygen into the air, and makes me wonder if such environments like the one Coinbase is creating should have some regulations?

These relatively new technologies and structures have consequences that we're only just beginning to understand, so it's no wonder that laws are lagging.

> Majority of the planet is close to living in poverty

Who said anything about the majority? And that's certainly not the demographic of HN, or the people creating most of the carbon footprint.

Also, by advanced economy standards, most of the world is deep in poverty.

> majority don’t have the luxury to go for the more expensive option because of their love of the environment.

It's not luxury and love, but necessity, responsibility, and survival. The impovrished people will suffer the most. Also, the options aren't necessarily more expensive, and are generally much cheaper if you account for the costs of climate change.
“I'm not saying everyone dissenting from the generally accepted opinions should be fully banned from the Internet or sent to jail”

What are you saying, exactly? We just fine them increasing amounts of money until they agree with the “generally accepted opinions?”

Who gets to decide what the generally accepted opinions are? How do we even know they’re right? Why does everybody have to agree on everything? Your musings are, quite frankly, childish. People are entitled to their incorrect opinions.

If you want to end climate change denialism or anti-vaccine sentiment, discuss the facts with people who sympathize with those viewpoints. Convince them on the evidence. Find better evidence if you can’t.

The people like yourself who want to engage in censorship never have the truth on their side. There’d be no reason to censor anything if you did: just lead with the truth instead. Let the facts speak for themselves. The fact that you can’t convince people of your “facts” is proof that you your ideas are garbage.

By all means though, continue to push for censorship. It will only increase the skepticism and distrust of the “generally accepted opinions” held by polite society.

> Modern graphics looks better when you put them side by side, but the graphics 10 years ago was good enough that you easily get used to it.

Can you get used to it? Yes. Eg. Skyrim is still atmospheric, but graphically it is nowhere near what today's games offer. I'd say that one don't even have to look at games that are 10 years old and modern games side by side to see the difference. Someone getting used to older graphics is that person adjusting themselves to what they're presented, and not an objective observation and games today objectively look better even when they aren't compared side by side in my opinion.

This is unfortunately too common. Abuse prescription drugs? Expect to constantly see ads for those drugs. For some reason ad targeting thinks I have an unpleasant disease or two that I don't.

I've had good luck enabling all the tracking and searching for high-end lifestyle stuff. The prospect of selling luxury goods to the ultra wealthy is jucier to the ad auctions than exploiting a measly few thousand a month for prescription meds, and the ads for that stuff is eye candy anyway.

After kicking it a few times like that, I re-enable the ad blockers.

On a related note, Trump famously targeted the mental illness category with conspiracy theories and libel. It probably won him the presidency.

If I had my way, the entire surveillance capitalism industry would be banned (including targeted ads).

> The terms of purchasing the ticket includes your agreement that you might get bumped.

'Bumping' is the colloquial term for 'involuntary denied boarding'. Bumping does not apply in this case, because the passenger in question was already boarded, and therefore could not be denied his seat, as he was not acting abusively.

But don't take my word for it, this is directly from the US Department of Transportation:

> Can airlines involuntarily bump me after I have boarded the flight?

> Generally, no. If you have met the following conditions, airlines are not allowed to deny you permission to board, or remove you from the flight if you have already boarded the flight:
> You have checked-in for your flight before the check-in deadline set by the airlines; and
> A gate agent has accepted your paper boarding pass or electronically scanned your boarding pass and let you know that you may proceed to board.
> However, airlines may deny boarding or remove you from a flight even after accepting your boarding pass and informing you that you may proceed to board if the denial or removal is due to a safety, security, or health risk, or due to a behavior that is considered obscene, disruptive, or otherwise unlawful.

From a big picture point of view, I understand the original intent of PIP. However, it seems severely disconnected from the ground reality.

* It promotes lazy managers who easily put engineers on PIP. I have heard so many stories where managers put engineers on PIP as soon as they apply for internal transfers and execute very shady stuff like suddenly sending MoM for 1:1 meeting 3 days later with stuff that was never discussed, etc.

* It creates an environment of distrust amongst engineers for the system.
I've talked to engineers who have lost trust in all internal mechanisms like Connections, Forte, etc. Blind is full of stories & have seen personally where none of these mechanisms are able to surface structural & cultural problems. Examples like: Managers putting unnecessary pressure on a smaller team due to inability to hire good talent and literally abusing them when they decide to leave. Managers not talking about growth and not doing anything & more importantly not knowing enough to be able to grow their engineers.

* When faced with a bad manager or bad culture, a skilled engineer faces 2 choices, either fight the good fight, try escalating, try reaching out to HR or leave the team or leave Amazon. Even if there were no bad stories, its so hard for an employee to choose the former, but with so many stories floating around, the first choice becomes impossible. That leaves Amazon with a huge blind spot around bad managers, bad teams, and bad orgs.

* In terms of impact, a bad manager has 10x more negative impact to Amazon as compared to a bad engineer, yet the PIP process is carried about when IMO Amazon should be investing in re-establishing trust with engineers, creating processes to discover bad managers, bad teams and then establishing a process to weed them out.

Either this, or a thick network of trains and buses in suburbia, which is hard and expensive to build, and is also noisy. Plentiful suburban trains mostly exist where they were built 100-150 years ago, and are seen as normal for a long time.

What do other companies say? "Nah you're not" is a pretty standard response to "I'm worth more than this" but consider the source. For some reason many companies would far rather let a good employee leave than raise their pay to market rate.

Imagine if they removed every song that someone claimed 'demeaned' woman. Hell, just remove every song with the n word, f word, and more. It's actually really surprising Spotify would do this over what.. someone who claimed vaccines were bad? I guess soon all that will be left on Spotify is loves songs and children's songs.
I really don't know if a HN thread is the place for like an abstract take, but I really dislike these "absolutist" definitions. You take a high-impact, emotionally charged word with a well defined meaning in its cultural context, rip it out of that context, apply the naive detached dictionary definition, and then end run around and shove it back into that high-impact context to your rhetorical benefit, where it would never be used naturally, because it "follows" from the naive definition.

In this case, sure, "censorship" is literally the suppression of speech but it's a much bigger idea than that. It's this huge institutional power dynamic. And so if you want to define it as something smaller where say white people getting in trouble for saying the n word is censorship then that's fine but then the word loses all the impact because if that's what you consider censorship then almost everyone is going to be in favor of it to some degree. It's not this inherently evil dystopian thing anymore. But then rhetorically you rely that fact that impact is "sticky" so when you say "well this thing I don't like is censorship oOoOoOooO and my line of reasoning supports that" you're kind of betting that the reader doesn't take notice that in the universe you've constructed censorship is pretty benign.
