Similarly, free markets are markets that have sufficient safeguards to keep the market free, not markets that are free from legislation. From the oracle[0]:

In a free market, the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government or other authority, and from all forms of economic privilege, monopolies and artificial scarcities

From this simple snippet, we can conclude three things:

- government and other authorities are only limited to not interfere with supply and demand; enforcing product standards does not make a market non-free

- good anti-monopoly legislation is an example of the government working towards the free market, not against it

- Anything involving copyright and patents is by definition not a free market

This is observed behavior. The churn in the rest of the ecosystem forces everything to be in a state of constant releases, patches, and upgrades. The alternative is that you depend on outdated code and then must maintain it yourself or just freeze your system forever… which is very much worse unless you’re talking about something non-networked.
I experienced Adobe's toxic business practices years ago when I tried to reduce our DC license count by 1. It made me no longer want to work with them.
Well, blame Google. Knowing about historic references to Axis of Evil and such they should have left the word out of SV / start up lexicon.

As it is, they didn't. The best the rest of us can do is further develop our capacity for context.

First:

If the government openly pressures Spotify, that is government censorship, which is literally what just happened.

Second:

Because there isn’t a good alternative for distribution.

There really isn’t.

Because the press employs less people nationwide than any time since … who knows, before the 1950s.

We need good information. We need uncensored information and this includes misinformation. We need to hear opinions and points of view including contrarian, controversial, and fringe ones.

I got an something important out of that Alex Jones returns episode. No one else I know thought it had any value, but for whatever reason I saw value in it.

What is the uncensored alternative? Truly.

If cloudflare can shut down whoever they want, if social media shuts down whoever they want, what is the real solution?

If we don’t have an answer, we don’t have free speech, so talking about Spotify being a private company is true but it can’t be viewed in isolation.
You seem to be confusing Don Imus, another radio shock jock, with Howard Stern.
> Why can you safely assume that?

Based on his achievements. His achievements are extremely rare. Even most MDs (medical doctors) don't have groundbreaking research to their name, doubly so on specifically the topic they're discussing.

> more interested in what his equally credentialled peers are saying, which is that he's full of shit.

That interests me the most too. Unfortunately all the coverage I've seen thus far doesn't have any takes by equally credentialled peers - that is peers who have spent decades researching mRNA. Most coverage doesn't even have takes by MDs, nevermind equally credentialled.
Automakers, chip firms differ on when semiconductor shortage will abate
Affinity products are really great. Not yet on par with Adobe's but almost there for most tasks, and more than enough for casual users.
Ironically, the point is that evil is relative and there are different scales of evil. That isn’t absolutism.
Fortunately for the author, I haven’t noticed any email servers that use the UCEPROTECTL3 RBLs to reject mail—which is to say, I’ve noticed some servers I administer end up on UCEPROTECTL3 incidentally and it has never caused a delivery problem.

On the other hand, some VPS providers are still allocating multiple customers to the same IPv6 /64 using SLAAC by default, and this will make it impossible to deliver mail on IPv6 since reputable RBLs always blacklist the whole /64.

As far as the argument about spamming being immoral but not illegal, I’ve never seen a reputable ISP that didn’t prohibit unsolicited bulk email in their terms of use, so the grounds for reporting it is that a customer is violating the terms that they agreed to follow when they signed up.

And to answer the question of whether or not RBLs are useful: in my experience, yes, they are quite useful. The biggest problem I’ve noticed with them is not typically false positives on small providers, but false negatives on giant companies like Google who cannot ever end up on an RBL because they process so much mail but don’t do a good enough job of preventing their servers from being used to send spam.
How do you call the opposite phenomenon in which a company is forced to continue engaging in money-losing activities because of interests external to the company (in this case, the interest in not making Joe Rogan episodes unavailable)?
Please most medicine isn't that complex either. Only a small minority of doctors really do anything the average person cannot do. Its really just that they've set up barriers to protect themselves. The really complex stuff in any field generally involves open ended research-y work and the reality is that that research work has fairly low demand. Though to clarify, I don't think we should be setting up more barriers to software development, I think we should be reducing barriers to all fields. I also do agree we should be teaching basic coding to all kids, it would compliment math classes well. I also don't think basic webdev roles will pay this much in 10 years when the average person knows how to code.
> [Ulysses] was banned for “obscenity” in both Britain and the US. In Britain, the director of public prosecutions Archibald Bodkin read only the last section, Molly’s monologue, and confirmed that “there is a great deal of unmitigated filth and obscenity”. In 1922, 500 copies were seized by customs at Folkestone and burned. Eventually, a 1932 court judgment in the US allowed it to be published in the country.

100 years later we're still fighting over what gets to be published or broadcast.
You mean further invade Ukraine? They are already approximately 2.5 states (of 24) inside it.
From what I've seen on HN, censorship is anytime a platform, publisher or outlet divests itself of a right-wing content producer. Threads about Parler, Youtube, Gab, Parler & Cloudflare have wild levels of engagement with everything being considered censorship. But when books like Maus are removed from the shelves, we don't hear a peep out of the HN community compared to a banned twitter account.
Only in a world where facts don't exist and truth is just a matter of opinion are conspiracy theorists and grifters simply people you disagree with.

And in any case, it doesn't have any bearing on the fact that Rogan claims to be some kind of innocent, open-minded guy who wants to talk to all kinds of people, when in fact he has clearly chosen a side on most issues and treats guests differenly in order to push people to that side.
Here's a fun article that talks about why raising the barriers to entry for "professional" vocations maintains the status quo (but limits upward mobility) for people in those vocations, while increasing social inequality by shutting people out:

Outlier events like last summer will become more frequent, but I think you will be hard pressed to find a better climate refuge than the PNW. The problem with climate change is that it eventually becomes a problem in one way or another for the entire globe. PNW is one of a handful of places that, while impacted, will be impacted less than most.

As I understand from the report, no request was made to remove the content but to leave terms like "liveness break" and "safety break" out of the abstract until those terms were defined in the main report.

Adblocking among the browsers that are more user-focused. I personally use Vivaldi, which is from the same devs that created Opera before the company was sold off.

I think you misread. The feeling described is about peoples reaction to Joe Rogan (like his tacit support for anti-vaccine ideology) and how evangelicals have the same reaction to things they don't like (like rights for women).

As far as I can tell evangelicals and many other Christian denominations are some of the biggest cancellers to ever exist. The left cancels, too, of course. And only now that the left's actions are becoming broadly effective folks are finally talking about how cancellations affect society.
Because it's a high likelihood of making a good living, much better than the alternatives.

I listened to JRE years ago, and those early shows were pretty raunchy at times. When he started getting popular and more "mainstream", I knew those were going to come back to bite him, it was just a matter of time. I'm just surprised it took this long.

Maybe the move to Spotify shielded him for a while, making it harder for people to just run across these episodes by chance.
Quite a portfolio:

how is it suppression if the material is easily available via other sources? like say other book stores?
"I was pleased with the result" lol, understate much?
It has been discussed by Dang before that threads with very high comment activity are punished by the algo as they're almost always flame wars.
I think the language is pretty clear. The fact that there is a much more expensive monthly option makes it even more obvious that the "yearly" option is a year long commitment. Not sure why you'd need to read the fine print. It also says "Fee applies if you cancel after Feb 26" -- as long as that implies that you can cancel without paying a fee until then, I think that's pretty clear? Though seeing how many people feel tricked by it, I may be missing something.
Funny that the lab provides an "open-access link" to this 2019 paper which turns out to be the opposite.

How many more pleas like this will we see on HN? Or, hear from friends, colleagues, and relatives who have been locked out or denied access to an important service, either through no fault of their own or by an innocent action, such as the OP logging into a second Google account that doesn't even use Adsense?

No warning.

No explanation other than "suspicious activity" or "violation of [vaguely worded] policy."

No human to call who can help troubleshoot, other than a tech-savvy friend or relative.

No recourse.

There needs to be a technology bill of rights, not just for people dealing with Google, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook, but also the myriad other technology operators which can disrupt our lives in an instant with some poorly programmed process or unanticipated edge case. Ultimately, the OP or my non-tech savvy employee or my mother should be able to get real answers and/or help from a human being when wronged by Google, a telco, or the local bank.
... for now...
Affinity do their own illustrator, photoshop and InDesign without subscription. Excellent quality and fast.
I fell for this too. I wanted InDesign for 1 month to make a decent looking CV when switching jobs. I felt really stupid when I tried to cancel and realised I’d be charged the remaining balance. Adobe lost me as a returning customer.
I don't know why this strategy wasn't the default option in the first place for emulators for the past couple of decades, when typical display resolutions have been greater than 2x emulated pixel field resolutions in each dimension.
Neodymium magnets helped to make them more powerful wrt size, and I suspect newer materials also made easier building small full range speakers where one would have needed at least separate woofer and tweeter, which wasn't convenient in cheap devices. The membranes of many small speakers from portable devices look like they're made of two concentric sections having different consistency and optimized for higher and lower frequencies, so that the same speaker can reproduce a much larger spectrum. That's probably far from being anything audiophile, still much much better than the quality of any similarly priced speaker from say the 80s.
You are evil for saying “doing to the same”. In a categorical sense, you and Hitler are similar: eeevilll

> The counter argument is that censorship is bad in all its forms.

That’s a platitude, not an argument. And being absolutist is being sadly ignorant of the realities of public speech.

Censorship is not just sometimes good, it’s also sometimes required by law. There is a fairly long list of things that are explicitly illegal to say and are exceptions to US freedom of speech laws, including: libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, fighting words, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, state secrets, non-disclosure agreements, personal private information, and, last but not least: lies.

Censorship is required by the GDPR, for example, when dealing with Personally Identifying Information (PII). Because the freedoms to speak publicly can conflict with our own freedoms privately, some kinds of censorship are beneficial to people including you.

Commercial speech is specifically exempted from US Freedom of Speech laws. You can spend time getting upset over legal private censorship all you want, but it isn’t a Freedom of Speech issue, and it doesn’t amount to a meaningful moral or principled stand. Our courts have already established through two hundred years or argument and precedent that our principles are that cash corrupts speech and should not be a protected category.
Was this research conducted prior to 2005?

I find the whole xor result to be pretty irrelevant, which I think is representative of the field writ large.

> Is anyone aware of modern work expanding on that front?

I am curious about this as well, as well as the general state of biological inspiration in the field. My impression was that biological analogy had largely been pretty much completely moved away from, except as someplace to take inspiration from in terms of what optimization can achieve.
You're right it's not the same, but the same thing with Gervais's presentation, for some it's offensive, for some hilarious. I support comedy in general, not cancel culture though.
> Naming and description could help a little: Full access to copy and paste (maybe somebody doesn't know what clipboard means), it allows this app to access everything is selected and copied including passwords, private data, etc. Only keyboards and clipboard managers should get this permission.

I don't think the problem of users not reading the text in warning messages can be solved with having them read even more text.

Actually this is an old problem, people do not read message boxes, popups, warnings, etc:

The pre-print say the pulses occur with a frequency of ~0.05 Hz (once every 20s). So at a guess the video is sped up 20x.
It’s not a tax. It’s just margins. I’m sure any retailer would balk at having to list that.

While not scriptable and not super advanced, Windows 10 and Windows 11 have a native visual clipboard manager with history and some other basic features. And it works quite well.

Try pressing Win+V, and the OS will give you a prompt to enable clipboard manager in settings. Once you enabled it (has to be done once), next time you press Win+V, a panel will slide out from the right side, and you can see the last N entries in your clipboard (which could include text, images, etc.). You can pick anything from there and paste it, and you can also pin any item there so that it won’t be overwritten when the clipboard reaches the limit and starts writing over.

Because evil exists is not a reason to not confront evil.

America lied (either intentionally or unintentionally) about the reasons for invading Iraq post-9/11.

But that isn't to say that removing Saddam Hussein from power wasn't a global or regional good.

It's trendy and low-hanging fruit to bash the American military for international involvements, or its many failures.

But it's equally important to note that the times America has turned inward and taken a more isolationist stance have resulted in the greatest turns away from international diplomacy and transgressions of international human rights.

The alternative to "Team America World Police imperial global colonization authority with military bases all over the world like the friggin Roman Empire" is not "life as we know it, minus America."

It's every country is one dictator or military coup away from becoming an undemocratic state. So I'd weigh how happy a citizen of Myanmar or Venezuela are with their life vs the ugliness of American military power.

Hey did you uh, make an account for this thread?
I enjoy NJB and other similar Youtube channels (Adam Something and Oh the Urbanity! are great, highly recommended), and his opinions on transit and urbanism are really interesting and reasonable. But this "move to Netherlands" trope is slightly tiring. Its clear that NJB is enamored and I'm happy he's in love with the place -- and the city seems great! -- but "move to Netherlands" is hardly practical for most people, right? I don't even mean literal "most people in the world", but even the select audience of such channels probably can't (and doesn't want to) just move like that.

Some of the angstier videos are a bit hard to watch and come out like "look how great this and how awful anything outside Europe is". I recently relocated from Brazil to Canada, and some of that angst is almost comical to me (first world problems!). With that said, again, he is spot on about car-centric vs human-centric cities and all that. I lived in Europe for a while and most of the cities felt "more human" than up here.
