Your agitation does not belong on HN either, yet here it is.

Why are you pretending this is a difficult issue to understand, it very clearly isn't. You're making up random assertions that fit your own predetermined perspective. Everybody that makes money on Youtube or Twitter or Spotify agreed to certain terms. And these terms say they can be deplatformed. So yes, the artist getting displaced based on ethnicity and the anti-war opinion getting banned is exactly the same thing. And it seems you think this is justifiable as long as a spread sheet says it's profitable to do so.

I'm not opening a discussion here, there is nothing to discuss. I'm simply following your own logic to it's conclusion. Your input is not necessary in any of this.
F*k UCEPROTECT!

I got listed as well (layer 3 only), because there were more than 32 cases of spam in an ISP that maintains more than 4 /16 networks across the whole country. With the whole AS blocklisted, I fail to see the point of UCEPROTECT and agree with the OP that they are mere thieves.

On topic of protecting people, they have a trivial XSS right on the input field where one checks if their IP address is listed - yes, a GET variable is printed directly to HTML.

If infection is less harmful to younger people, less likely in younger people, or both, then cutting the risk of infection by half across all age groups is less beneficial to younger people.
I guess it is even further away.
Here's what I took away from the suggestion. Let's say I send you $100 USDT and Osama Bin Laden sends you $100 USDT. Then you send Justin Beiber $100 USDT and keep the remaining $100 USDT. Where are the tainted tokens?

For Bitcoin these are UTXOs which are easy to trace, but not so for Ethereum and its tokens which just rely on accounting not UTXOs. Right?

From a mathematics professor, no less.
You write an article mixing all kinds of risks together that require careful individual analysis, discuss different kinds of outcomes (hospitalization, death, long covid), discuss different kinds of groups where my first reaction would be to see if the cutoffs are carefully chosen to support the headline - this is a fucking mess. And then you end it all with “The booster policy is the booster policy".

My god, science reporting in the US is dead.
An intentionally initiated transaction where everyone already knows each other, and knows in advance that lawyers will be involved (as you say, m&a, real estate, etc) is a very different thing than receiving a demand letter from a previously unknown party out of the blue.

Like I said in my original reply here, we are talking about sending threats to third-party isps, with which the originator of the smtp traffic has no existing business or contractual relationship.
ripgrep has been a godsend for my bash workflow. It feels impossibly fast when used on git repositories. The caveat is that by default it omits .gitignored files, hidden files/directories, and binary files.
> I don't believe governments should force private companies or people to publish or say things they don't want to.

Do you believe governments should force private companies to serve people they don’t want to? If so, then you understand how civil rights work. It’s not enough to ensure the government respects our rights, the government must also ensure that private companies respect our rights. Free speech has become a civil rights issue.
I've appreciated your arguments so far, but how does "only needing a VPN" qualify as easy?

I live outside China and I am baffled about how you get a VPN that you trust. A VPN is a third-party who shields you and that you trust.

Everyone on HN recommends Mullvad because of their track record. Do you know that Mullvad is not compromised?

If you lived in China, how would you find a VPN that you trust?

FOX and CNN are constantly accused of spreading misinformation by huge swaths of the populace (but not necessarily the same swath for both networks).
Same for Europe. You should receive what you could reasonably expect to receive, even without reading the fine print.
No, alt-right as a whole is not tech savvy. But I have to imagine there's some subset of alt-right that is indeed tech savvy.
> In the end I abandoned the migration, which I suppose means if they poll community members, they'll have something of an echo chamber.

Harking back to the survivorship-bias example above (reinforce warplanes in the bits that weren't all shot up on the ones that returned), if they define "community" as the users of the new language, they'll never realise line length was a significant problem: You and all the others like you aren't there to answer the question "Was line length in the code converter a problem for you?" with a resounding "Yes!", they'll get only "No" answers, and not realise what a huge impediment it is.
I second that. I learned about it years ago, here on HN in fact. I have been using them ever since, happily. Some while ago they were subject to a DDoS attack and service was flaky for a day or two, but apparently the attackers lost interest when the company refused to pay the ransom.

So the fact that one of the most powerful unions (at least in my state, CA) has orchestrated a pay scheme in which new entrants to the field do not benefit whatsoever is not in the least bit surprising.

Teachers unions don't exist to help students, they don't exist to help those who might want to become teachers, they exist to help entrenched teachers maximize the amount of money they pull out of the state.

This is why in California entry level teachers, who are doing the same job as 65 year old teachers, are making less than half.
Personally, I don't know how anyone could learn algebra without first understanding the concept of a variable. In programming, one generally thinks of variables like "boxes" that you can put values in (with, eg, `i = int(input("Enter a number: "))`) and take values out of (by referring to `i` later in the program). Algebra, then, expands on this by introducing more advanced ideas like "solving for a variable".

Of course, I'm probably biased because I learned programming before algebra myself.
Better than I have in years. I’m sleeping well, lost 25 pounds without effort, and am getting back to enjoying my family and hobbies again without the monkey on my back. It’s hard to shake the itch to act on new business ideas, but I compensate by spending time on investing and hobbies. My wife has often commented on how much better her life is too without dealing with a chronically stressed out husband. I wish I had done it sooner. Good luck, sir, I hope you can get the clarity rest you’re looking for.
The deprecation and accompanying warning was in November but Google publicly stated their intention to deprecate in November and remove at the end of February at least as far back as June.

Edit: The intent to deprecate and remove was sent to the blink-dev mailing list on June 11th. It can be found on row 2731 of the Blink Intents spreadsheet, https://bit.ly/blinkintents.
I'll admit that I immediately mistook 'fail' as - basically ensure they have no future in the program.

I'd be fine with points being removed or even perhaps a failed assignment - not being essentially outed from the program by failing the course. The student needs a chance to improve - otherwise the only thing they'll learn is resentment
Those services are the payment to you. You are selling your attention to google and Facebook for email/social network access and they then time slice that attention and sell it to advertisers.

If you use Google’s free email, you are not their customer. If you have an AdWords account, you are.

If you don’t like the deal, start charging them money or stop giving your attention to them for what you get in return. It’s that simple.
It seems to me most modernist ideologies were about “creating” contrary to what you’re implying. They might have been varying levels of revolutionary and totalitarian, but the end goal was always some kind of transformed man living in a glorious utopia. It wasn’t just mindlessly breaking down norms in a vacuum. It was more religious than that.

It’s all failed and discredited obviously, but maybe creating isn’t what you actually want? Sounds more like you want conservation and restoration.
You don't even need the subdomain addressing, a one catchall domain is enough (with you own domain).

Eg: I want to register on HN - I would just register with hackernews@mydomain or hn.com.accounts@mydomain or whatever on the mailbox address side - it would be delivered to my main catchall mailbox anyway.
He seems to have higher standards than conventional news. It is reliatively rare to see Rogan asserting something that he has to know is false (apart from the obvious things like those long-form ads at the start of the podcast).

Going straight to politics, which is what really upsets people about Rogan, the standard here is people who spent multiple years of sustained campaigning confidently speculating that the US president is in league with the Russians. Or people before that who spent years onfidently speculating that the president was a Muslim trying to institute the Sharia in Texas or something crazy like that. I don't really remember the sillyness that far back in the Obama years. Joe Rogan at least has credentialed guests and lets them talk off-narritive. In that CNN horse-paste interview he had a CNN guy on who could have challenged him back or defended the position.

Rogan has much, much higher standards than what has traditionally been done for politics. He's probably doing better than traditional news reporting in other areas too.
> I'm tired creating backups, or loosing data. Let's be honest, sometimes it happens. Does a filesystem that never deletes/overwrites anything exist?

I use linux and system link the home folder to a Dropbox folder. There is an extended history option [1], so that you can go back a year for any file. I think it’s a reasonably close solution if you do not mind the cost and syncing to cloud.

The author of this article minsunnderstinds what fungibility means. '

Fungibility does not mean non-unique or non-traceable.

Fungibility means that a given asset is legally identical to all other instances of the same thing.

For example, every $20 bill and every share of Apple stock has a serial number that uniquely identifies it, but that uniqueness is legally irrelevant. You broker has no obligation to give you a specific share of stock nor your bank a specific $20 bill. Financial securities are fungible.

Bitcoin is fungible.

== Edit:

Commentators are confusing fungibility and traceability. They are very different concepts. Non Fungible Tokens are just as traceable as Bitcoin, but they are non-fungable.

I wrote a detailed article about this [1] a few weeks ago if you want to gory details.

The individuals in the government are worried about all threats. Canadian truckers are certainly one of them, but not a very important one other than they gum up commerce and may eventually develop into a riot.
I agree with that as well! Particularly as someone with ADHD and a lifelong battle with motivation.

Though I might expand “fun” to a more general sense of reward. Eg “if I build this thing in a week, will I want to try using it?” or “if the idea is valid, will I be glad to be able to use it?”

I’m bringing this up because I’ve found that kind of reward very motivating to work on personal projects which are otherwise dull and full of drudgery. For instance, for my current spare time project I’m building yet another test runner. Before I started it, that sounded so unappealing that past me would laugh out loud if future me came back in time and told me about it. But there’s nothing that fits my vision for a test runner in the stack I usually work on (TS/JS/Node/browsers). And the benefits I hope to enjoy when I actually get to use it are much more motivating than the project itself.

In fact the project itself is just a yak shave I couldn’t let go of—trying to start another personal project, then finding “blazing fast” solutions too slow, or too limited, and generally both. And I find testing in these environments painful in my every day work, so if it even has a chance at success it could make even that more rewarding and motivating.

Yikes, what a long ramble. But I think it’s worth posting in case it gives OP or anyone else another perspective that gets them excited to start or stick with an idea.
Sounds like junk crypto.
What phone model?

I had a moto z that used pogo pins to connect the top screen proximity sensors, that after the adhesive weakend holding the thing together, lost contact.

> And that's largely exactly what Windows has been since Windows 7. Aesthetic changes.

Yeah, sure, but why do they all have to be for the worse?

(Probably because it was already as good as it could get in that respect too. And then what do you do?)
Joe Rogan is not being censored for his political beliefs. There are many conservative podcasts on Spotify. He is being censored for medical disinformation. If you've listened to JRE over the last 2 years, he regularly (a) disparages the research and conclusions of medical professionals and (b) presents his own anecdotal views as fact. It is not "I think COVID is X", it is "COVID is X". This is neither in the realm of opinion nor in the realm of politics. This is a debate on whose medical authority to trust.

I wish people would have the integrity to speak about the situation honestly.

Discussions with conservatives on issues like this inevitably result in every topic being badly grafted and transposed into a discussion on "left-wing culture". The issue-at-hand is rarely, if ever, the point. Reading conservative commentary on this issue, one would believe that he was banned from Spotify for stating that he believed that small government was preferable to big government. It's completely and utterly fucking disingenuous.
Good point. I am too busy chasing that "imaginary future" where I am just not enjoying the present anymore even though I am so privileged to be in the position that I am in already. Thank you for that perspective. I am going to really think hard on how to make the present better.
No, the companies mentioned here are often targets of the abuse you're giving because they're very effective community builders.

Your real problem is with the people using those platforms, but I guess it's harder to complain about democracy being ruined if it's literally the people participating in it who are ruining it.
Any insights? How often did you see them? How did you know the recipient didn't order them?
Huh, i was, literally this morning, staring at a lava lamp and wondering about its potential as a random seed :)
Will do next time. Thanks for the tip!
I feel like part of the problem is that people are so stupid that they need to be told what is opinion.
You want a clear-cut rule that can, without any context or nuance, categorize something as "censorship" or "not censorship"? I'm afraid I don't have one. Is that what it would take before you admit anything other than a government ban is censorship?

To answer your question - if it was my article? No. But suppose I wasn't a random person on the internet, but a journalist, and, after spending a lot of time investigating and writing a story on, lets say, the health risks of bovine growth hormone, my employer makes me go through 83 rewrites over 8 months, then fires me, and never airs the story [1] - is it censorship then?

Or what if I was hired to make a documentary on child abuse, but my employer decided that, "as a responsible broadcaster", they would censor it (sorry, delay publishing until after the election), to not inflame racial tensions [2]?

Can we call either of these "censorship", without also calling the NYT's refusal to publish a random unaffiliated nobody's arbitrary article also "censorship"?

What happens if you invert the test condition? That is, you run it 10k times and then see how long that took rather than for X time and see how many times you could do it?

You’re using System.getCurrentTimeMillis() which should be w fast. My first thought was if you were using Instant and then sometimes there’s one call to VM.getNanoTimeAdjustment and sometimes two.

Man, this is a tough one. I’ll try when I’m home.
I do have a team but business is not completely self sustainable without me yet. Perhaps that is one area I can look into as well and spend a bit less time on it than the 60-70 hour weeks. Thx for your suggestion.
You talk about "what you consume". Censorship is about defining what others are allowed to consume, which is quite different.
Yes. I don't even know what you're talking about when you say "free society." It sounds like a weird mantra.

edit: maybe if you say it 3x fast I wouldn't have had to have vaccinations to attend public school when I was a kid?
No we shouldn’t. Never. Get that idea out of your head. It can never be secure or safe. This path leads to bodies hanging from the town square.
Obviously we don't know the details of this bust, but it probably happened just before Alaska legalized posession of plants for personal use. The article was written in mid-2015, and legalization passed in February of that year.

Whatever pointless, unjust penalty this person suffered, in addition to having their property seized, makes this story seem less than amusing. Maybe the words you're looking for are "tragic" or "dystopian"?

No, it's not. It depends on who's asking. If I see that the satoshis you're trying to give to me were part of (e.g.) a drug transaction in the past, I might not feel comfortable accepting your money. The problem with Bitcoin is that I can do that taint analysis, because the entire transaction graph is public.

I agree that de-identification is imperfect, and re-identification is a risk (re-identification is, however, illegal in several states). However, the notion that there is big business in re-identifying medical records to target individuals is largely a myth, because there isn't a great market for individual-level information. Life insurance companies can't use it - they are required to get information they use for underwriting from the applicant, or with the applicant's permission. Companies who market medical products generally won't or can't use it (for one thing, it's typically not very timely - by the time your diagnosis appears in a re-identified data set, the time to get your attention is pretty well past for most conditions).

The companies that came seeking medical records (I was until recently Chief Technology Officer for a clinic/hospital system with 10M active patient records) were satisfied with de-identified data, because they were looking for insights to develop new, or re-purpose existing, therapies and technologies, or to create marketing strategies for their tech. They had no need or desire to know who a particular patient was, because they were looking for broader insights.

There's something about this sort of argument that seems off to me. Someone complains about someone doing X, then someone else comes along and says it's always been like that.

Why does that matter?
