"Vegetable" oils weren't commonly used as food until it was figured out how to deodorize them. Mostly they were used to preserve wood (as paints and stains), then the paint industry figured out how to use petroleum distillates. The moniker 'vegetable oil' is a marketing term to trick people into thinking these products are edible.

If a business owner discriminates on the basis of sex, ethnicity, race, or religion, Americans consider it a big deal if not a constitutional problem.

But a gay business owner cannot discriminate against the very religious groups who seek to exclude gay people from their institutions or services. Gay people do not even galvanize around such political positions as, say, banning Christian marriage or Christian adoption, or supporting the firing of Christian employees.
There are places to buy smaller ranges. Free Range Cloud lets you buy a static IP tunnel or lets you buy a /29 through them. The problem with smaller ranges is that you can't actually advertise them through BGP the way you would with a /24. https://hoppy.network/ also gives you a unique /32 v4 and /128 v6 if you'd like.
Race and sexual orientation are two very different things.

Unless those satellites are sending messages like "10-4 good buddy", you might upset CW McCall[0] for using the term convoy. There are certain words/terms that evoke a vision in one's mind. Convoy just says 18-wheelers. Fleet conjures multiple ships. Constellation conjures more than 1-2 and constantly visible.

PS. it's not a matter of what I can or can't look up. People here are too uptight and want to correct everyone else. Sometimes, conversations can be had on not whether a word is actually correct, but whether it leaves one with the right "feeling" (ugh, is that allowed on HN, feelings??).
I don't think it's entirely true. Many have managed to create alternatives that have gotten serious traction. There's a few I've been consistently playing for a week and honestly enjoying more than Wordle itself.

I've been playing Quordle, and sometimes it's more insane alternatives [1] [2]. I've also really been enjoying Semantle [3], it's probably one of my favorite and most unique ones. There's other ones that are also need but maybe too much, like Squabble [4] and Squardle [5], but I wouldn't say they've all failed.

Also, to say "the game itself is mediocre at best" seems ridiculous. A mediocre game doesn't get popular purely based on once a day and sharing...

Why is Twitter is supported on HN for refusing to do business with a conservative writer but a web designer is not?

This is pretty much the top comment on HN from 5 years ago:
"But private corporations are allowed to censor and be biased." [1]

I'm no legal scholar, but I'm not sure if the public accommodation part is true. Can a web designer refuse to accept black clients today? I assumed this was more or less a settled issue on the race side.
yes, the tutorials can be embedded! If you email me at rahul@textframe.app I can walk you through how to do it.
Asserting that everyone shares your semantic understanding and then only arguing based on that seems unproductive. Especially when it's unclear which of the definitions I used that you're arguing that "we know." You say it's not a perception, but then describe perception in the last sentence.
45,8% of new buildings in 2020 had heat pumps, which are most efficient for turning electricity into heat. There are ~1,3 Million heat pumps in Germany currently, which is about 7% of all buildings. Of course, all of this could have been faster without the debate for nuclear (even if - we would not build new nuclear plants at this point, so the discussion is without meaning) and the postponement of renewable energy.

Brilliant idea. Let us start with microphones everywhere, then AI to predict wrongthink. We might as well put e-collars on people so that they can be punished instantly -- it's more economical that way. And/or you can freeze people's bank accounts for wrongthink.

Hi, that's a pleasant surprise. Thanks.
Some QA and possible suggestions:

1. exclude chrome:// and about:// URL's

2. Not sure how, but it would be nice to one-click restore an item from Trash back to where it was. Alternatively, perhaps mark in-place instead of moving to Trash? Then it's easy to spot them and manually remove.
Also I got quite a few false positive sites with valid certs etc. Increase timeout perhaps?

3. this might be impossible, but I wonder if there is a way in chrome to download /favicon.png without opening the whole page in a new tab.
As a small business owner, why do I need to deal with the extra expense of accepting handicapped customers? I need to build a ramp, take preemptive measures to make it accessible in the weather, take time to wait for them to wheel across the office, take time to teach my employees how to be accommodating of them, all sorts of extra costs in staffing or just plain time. And all for a fraction of a percentage of my customer base.

It just doesn't make sense and I don't see why I should carry that burden.
There's no reason to be condescending. Adding download friction for $0 of benefit for a developer makes no sense. I have had a BitTorrent client installed for more than 20 years, and I use it perhaps once a year these days (and only to download old video games that I can't get anywhere else).
This is really cool. Is it open source?

"Who denounced you?" said Winston.

"It was my little daughter," said Parsons with a sort of doleful pride. "She listened at the keyhole. Heard what I was saying, and nipped off to the patrols the very next day. Pretty smart for a nipper of seven, eh? I don't bear her any grudge for it. In fact I'm proud of her. It shows I brought her up in the right spirit, anyway."
I think the difference in a legal sense is huge. It is about compelling service vs compelling speech.

If the gay couple wanted a website to showcase pictures of their dog and the web designer didn't take the job because the clients were gay - the supreme court never would have taken that case. It's just discrimination.

If a straight couple wanted to build a pro-lgbt website and the web designer refused, the case would fundamentally be the same. It's an issue about compelling speech.
> On the other hand, that doesn’t mean we automatically want to force people to do lengthy, bespoke work that offends their beliefs, even if we might not agree with those beliefs.

I think their comment still applies. Do you still think the web developer should have the right to deny service based on the race or sex of the client, if that's what they were claiming offended their beliefs?

If every wedding photographer denied a couple service because they are two men, doesn't that "make life difficult for the excluded group"?
> Please quote the exact "mountain of evidence" in your link about the arson case.

I was referring to the other documentation of violent and otherwise criminal behaviour by protestors, not the arson case.
So you are saying a gay web designer should not be able to refuse a job from a fundamentalist Christian wanting a fundamentalist Christian website (the content of which the gay web designer objects to)?
1. People aren't born conservative. If you want people to do business with you, you can just stop talking about your political views. Gay people can't decide to stop being gay.

2. Twitter doesn't drop conservative writers just for being conservative. There are still literally millions of conservative people on Twitter. Twitter has a line that a conservative or liberal person could cross.

https://theupheaval.substack.com/p/there-is-no-liberal-west describes it thusly:

The act criminalizes utterances deemed to be “aggravated by prejudice” against any protected identity group (including race, religion, or transgender status) with up to seven years in prison. How exactly any of this is defined is not clear. Private speech, even within privates home, is not protected. Indeed, Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf has argued that it absolutely “must be prosecuted.” A child’s report to a teacher of what a parent said at home will be sufficient. The Act specifies that it is immaterial “whether or not there is a specific victim of the offence,” and that “evidence from a single source is sufficient to prove that an offence is aggravated by prejudice.” In fact, “stirring up hatred” is now a criminal offense in Scotland – exactly the same all-purpose legal term so often put to use to punish dissent in the People’s Republic of China, including as the offense under which many of those pesky Hong Kong pro-democracy protestors were convicted.

I should emphasize I don't know how reliable this source is, or if the bill was substantially altered before it became law. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-56364... states some changes have been made, but is very vague in describing them. The criminalization of speech within private homes remained:

Yet even with that scrutiny, concerns remain. Offences can now be committed even in private, an abandonment of an earlier "dwelling defence" in race hate law.
Title says it's from 2020 and it's a bill.

Keeping a rolling social history via some sort of merge-friendly approximate frequency data-structure (e.g., count-min sketch - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count%E2%80%93min_sketch ) would allow you to score the game dynamically based on the play history of the current players, their friends, or others with similar or different characteristics (e.g., "We're playing Brooklyn Scrabble now!").
Well intentioned allies are far more dangerous than any enemy, overt or covert.

Freezing bank accounts when you have not been convicted of a crime happens all the time and is the way things have to work. If you let money flow freely in the banking system contingent on criminal convictions any old drug cartel could pay you a million bucks after you serve your time to let 100 million flow through your accounts or whatever. If you can't freeze accounts without an arrest that is already too slow. It is the way the banking system already works.

There is no "staged media campaign" to smear people, the media was reporting on the fact that having kids in the red zone had become illegal with the emergency orders. Kids come to protests all the time, it is not a big deal, but when the cops hand out flyers telling you that you have to leave and you don't, keeping your kids there with you, you are going to get some extra attention - it is not remotely comparable to church, women's centres, or union picnics. If you brought your kids to walk the line with you on a wildcat strike that might be comparable.. if the cops had handed you a flyer saying they were going to forcibly remove your picket line soon.

I agree that early enforcement may have made a difference - but it is clear from the reporting that towing vehicles at the outset was never an option - the towing firm that moved a shack /at the request of the protestors/ received a huge amount of harassment. In other cities pre-emptive measures were successful - sometimes by the police and sometimes by citizens. In my most generous moments I sometimes can forgive the OPS for thinking that this wasn't that big a deal at the start.
There are many many low income housing buildings in Centerrown. It's interesting to me that you characterize the condo inhabitants as rich people while it's actually cheaper to buy a condo downtown than to buy a house in Barrhaven in the suburbs! All the rich people are actually living in mansions away from Centertown.

The injunction worked for 2 days, but the lack of enforcement meant that it was blaring horns again in no time. I'm glad your children enjoyed the brief trip. I think a lot of people there were actually just curious spectators there for a few hours to party. I live about a kilometre from the parliament and I could still hear the honking. A friend of a friend had to arrange for their kid to relocate because it was impossible to sleep.

> The ramifications of allowing discrimination based on any religious belief would be drastic.

Fortunately, this is not the case, either in this situation, or in the previous bakery case.

In both this and the other case, the "allowed" discrimination only applies to highly specific situations of creative work of those individuals, and does not extend much outside of it.

For example, there is no way that the courts would allow a grocery store to prevent certain sexual orientations from buying food. The cases really only apply in very limited circumstances.
It's literally in their bible. Anyone claiming otherwise is not following it. All those institutions listed in the wikipedia article are not following their faith, but are modern liberalized watered down, and attempting to be hip and "keep up with the times". They caved to pressure.
I am not sure, but I know the 5th amendment is relevant: you cannot be forced to incriminate yourself by decrypting encrypted materials. Strong cryptography was also classified as weaponry at one point, and probably hence also subject to the 2nd amendment; whether this is still true, I don't know.
I mentioned this in another comment, but I don’t think the designer should be compelled to make a website. I think she should be disallowed from making wedding websites if her policy for that category is “don’t work for gays”. Discrimination prevented, no speech compelled.
This is a tough one for me. On the one hand, I don’t feel like you should be able to compel a private business owner or any other person to participate in something they are unwilling, except in certain things outlined by law. Paying taxes is one of those things the state compels you to do even if you don’t want. But they have never shown that they have the authority to make people speak a certain way. Instead of a gay couple getting married, can I (hypothetically) force a designer to make a website for a very creepy and grossly sexualized fursona? If they don’t, they are discriminating against my sexual orientation… Even if they are paid a fair wage, an artist’s reputation can be damaged by the work they take on, and I think they should be allowed to be selective, even if I don’t agree with the person in this case.

On the other hand, we could wind up with troubling situations in some parts of the country if “speech” is able to dodge anti-discrimination laws. There are towns where nearly every business would refuse gay people if they knew who they were. Imagine being effectively banned from a town like that if businesses figure out how to call their business a form of “speech.”

So this leaves me on the fence. I wish that artists have freedom to choose their clients but am a little worried about where that leads us. Hopefully the justices can craft a decision that avoids major issues in the future.

False. Even if for the sake of argument people didn't have a choice over their sexuality, they do definitely have a choice in not engaging in same sex relationships. Just like someone with violent tendencies chooses not to go killing others and take anger management lessons.
Simply, denying someone a service because you dislike them is a harm. It's less stark than some harms, but it's clearly along a line that ends in direct violence. If someone is starving and has money to pay for your food, but you refuse to sell to him, you share some responsibility for his death.

Obviously, we allow people to cause harms under certain circumstances. Self defense is one, situations where we have competing rights is another. The standard we've come to is that, in order to be allowed to offer services and goods in the US, you also need to agree to obey our laws, which includes the protection of certain 'protected classes' - which are generally seen as qualities a human has that are not entirely voluntary (sex, sexual orientation [in some places], race, national origin, disability, age, citizenship status and religion). Other qualities are not protected. You are allowed, for instance, to deny service to anyone who doesn't like Seinfeld, or to ugly people, or any other non-protected class.

At the end of the day, I don't think its in our interest to allow commercial activity with no rules. Everyone benefits from having some elements of their identity that cannot lead to them being denied services. It's true that sometimes you have to suck it up - but that's a drawback we all share as well.
Go back 100 years, replace ‘LGBT groups’ with ‘civil rights activists’ (who had much less support) and ‘homosexuality’ with ‘African Americans’ and you will (hopefully) realize how barbaric that thought process is. The same argument was also made about the suffrage movement. You are, in fact, an evil person if you think someone is inferior and should be denied services or rights because of their sexuality (or race, or gender). We should not slow the march of progress towards equality because the same damn people can’t figure this stuff out century after century.

Generics is an absolutely must have. In 1997 I was was giving up on C++ when I discovered the standard template library. I was lucky to be using Visual C++ on Microsoft. The (only) good thing good thing about that compiler is it implemented the STL using Stepinov's reference.

Stepanov defined STL in 1994. By 1997 there were SFA implementations that followed the standard. Most "improved" it and made a mess of it, like GCC.
