We rented a Tesla from Hertz in SF while there on business in 2017, for something to do on the weekend. Returned it after driving across the Golden Gate and around a bit and then flew on to NY.

Weeks (Months?, it's been a while so I'm hazy) later I get a nasty letter back in Australia threatening to pursue me for not returning the car.

Needless to say I hopped on the phone to the 'Prestige' office that I'd rented it from and they sorted it out in short order. Error in their system.

Not the nicest experience though.
I think the parent is thinking of a proxy type model which would be more robust in the long run since bypassing paywalls is cat and mouse. Rather than do everything client side, which would eventually stop working anyway, one could proxy the requests to a server that would deliver the contents. This is not too different from the existing outline.com model, but the servers can be shuffled around more easily.
Very clever!

The news article headlines get cut off pretty quickly to the effect of "Putin [says something]", but I guess it's not overly important as long as the headlines differ in wording.
I wish the underlying theory to this whole class of software was more accessible.
It seems like these logical systems can do such amazing things, but I'd be remiss to integrate any of them without some degree of understanding of what they're doing under the hood; what their limitations and failure modes are, etc. As it stands, it's all far too magical for me to trust.
It replies directly to your point. You imply that dangerous views shouldn't be kept around.

"Also, it's not a view worth keeping around. There's no evidence to support it and it's just used to justify violence and division."

So I listed some very dangerous economic views that have been proven to fail throughout history, and are widely agreed upon by economists.

So we should silence anybody promoting these views, following your logic. It's for the good of society

We should ban all videos proposing the ex president colluded with Russia too, as it was always a conspiracy theory with no evidence. No matter how much people wanted it to be true. Undermining the legitimacy of a validly elected president should be a silence-able offense. All the better if the party in power or their affiliates are the ones to do the silencing.

Maybe take into consideration which regimes throughout history have used silencing speech the most and whether you want to align with them.

But generally I don't expect holders of these views to acknowledge the hypocrisy of them, or how closely they align to the tactics of authoritarian regimes throughout history.
It's a shame this was posted on the rpg stack exchange and not the world building stack exchange, I understand they're moderating it to keep it on topic but they're suppressing what could be some really great ideas and conversations.

I saw a code editor in there - does it mean I can use low code to customize the dashboard? If so, I like the combination of no-code and low-code.
Whenever I read something like this I wonder that current languages (even the higher level ones) are poor at expressing higher-level concepts like that in a practical way and capturing that complexity (in an easily manageable) form

One of the hardest parts of programming is understanding what's happening from reading code. And if you abstract too much "the traditional way" then it is just even harder to understand.
This is partly the mission of Wikidata, for example if the two language wikipedias involved in a historical war can agree on the date it started and ended, and so do all the non-combatents, thats a good sign that there isn't mistakes or intentional bias.

Ask HN: Hide/remove the Flag / Hide links in the main list view
The simplicity of the Hacker News UI is one of its charms, but viewing HN on a mobile, fairly often I end up accidentally hitting Flag or Hide when I'm simply trying to open an article link or go into the comments. Then there's that moment of "did I hit the wrong thing?" followed by the usual scrabble about to undo it (since I don't want to flag stuff inappropriately!)

What I wondered was whether it's really necessary to have the Flag / Hide links there in the main list view at all, especially when for most users they'll be used comparatively much less often than the other links (either to the article or to the comments). If they were hidden in the list then it would avoid the risk, and people who are genuinely flagging items can easily do it from the header of the comments page, which often will be where they've been anyway (eg if they check out what others have said before flagging)

What do people think? Needless change? Potentially helpful? Something to put behind an option? (so UI traditionalists keep it unchanged and optimisers can tweak it as desired)

I realise that on a full computer, one could use a grease monkey script / custom plugin for this kind of thing, but on mobile that's not really an option. Nor is zooming to increase the text size as it then loses content off the edge (on mobile Chrome at least)
This is going to get him banned from India soon if the next Kashmir conflict kicks off. Not the wisest move to intervene in international affairs as a private citizen for cheap PR points.
> Without specific examples this is pretty meaningless.

I'd go one step further: specific examples are still meaningless. On a site with editors from every country and region on the world and millions of articles (not each one equally popular and viewed/vetted by other editors), of course you'll find examples for any point of view.

I'm also afraid it might then become a conversation about those specific examples. Proving systemic bias is unfortunately not trivial here. Without looking into examples at all, though, it's indeed a meaningless conversation that OP is creating.
Just to note additionally that the pumping lemma may only be used in that direction, not the other way.

The language {1^x : x is not prime} is easily pumped with x=z=1 and y=11. And regular languages are closed under complement.

No pumping Lemma -> Not regular, Yeah Pumping Lemma -> Who knows

I don't understand what you mean by "suppressed", I've seen countless mentions of the lab theories on HN, other social media, and news sites. These theories have been around from the start and have always been considered less likely than the wet market hypothesis, as the linked articles also argue. But even if you were right, you should never believe a theory just because it cannot be easily refuted or because you feel it is suppressed. It's trivial to come up with theories that are hard to refute or cannot be falsified at all. Theories can also be suppressed for all kinds of reasons that have no bearing on their truth. If there is a lack of positive evidence for a theory you need to remain agnostic or at the very least try to obtain realistic probability estimates.
I think someone below me said it best. You can set all the rules you like, but in the end, "cohesive teams will self organise" to make it work.

We didn't have to set any guidelines, we just did what was needed. If that meant we could fly 5 days a week at home. Fine. If, when lockdown easedup, it meant choosing to come in 1 or 5 days a week, we self organise towards that. And it's fine.

Our team proved we could do that over 2 years, so the sudden yank back into the office was a slap in the face, and destroyed our team. I'm still bitter about it.

Just know that if that's your policy, that's what you're risking. It may not manifest as quick as it did with our team, but the internal cracks will be there that you'll need to manage, if you can at all.

And I don't agree with your "worst of both worlds" wasn't our situation. We were all in agreement about things would be and it worked. In that situation, you declare that as a core part of your organisation and new employees can choose whether they want to be a part of that or not.
Even such a license gives legitimacy to the copyright regime. If you want others who are concerned about copyright to use your code I suggest MIT license. If you don't care about copyright for a project but you still want to share your code/ideas don't license at all.

> 0. You just DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.

What exactly is "what the fuck" legally speaking? Is it telling me I can use it in any kind of code base or does that pertain to copying and sharing? "Want to" , to/with what? My life? Career choices? The code base? The vagueness gives uncertainty. A license document has to give specific and explicit assurances. Sounding cool isn't good enough.
As a man I feel the same about eating meat. It’s a convenience thing for staying lean and getting enough proteins for my muscles.

Abortion happens before the human fetus has a developed central nervous system (at 6 months), so the animals we eat have a much more painful life / death than the aborted life. As long as I eat meat I don’t feel like I can have a say in whether abortion should be allowed or not. At the same time it will have devastating consequences on the population level.
We have no idea what the higher order effects of this will be.

There is an article in the Atlantic how this could cause a depression in Tajikistan.

This couldn't possibly be at a more fragile global economic time either after 2 years of COVID.

The economic damage of this is not going to be isolated to Russia. We have practically injected the global economy with an unknown economic poison and we have no idea what it is going to do or how far it will spread.
I think it's hard to divine trends from such small numbers. 14 Tsars, 45 presidents. It's not even enough to determine if the odds of one outcome or the other is better than a coin toss. This is before getting into confounding variables like availability and quality of medical care. How would the numbers change if they all had access to emergency care available to the next person to face an assassination attempt? Or if they all had the Secret Service looking out for them. The President flies around with a world class hospital with some of the world's best staff.

My guess is both attempts and successes are fewer over time and will approach 0 until some structural change shocks increasingly complacent protections.

That’s a strange headline… If abortions are restricted in Texas, it would logically follow that in order to get an abortion, you would have to leave Texas. It’s almost misleading.
Usually I mute TV commercials, but one time I had them on and I found out from a commercial that Nightmares on Wax was coming to my town soon.

I had no idea, I don't follow music news. But I bought tickets immediately. I love them and I'd never seen them live before.

It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. And I'd have missed it without advertising.

This is an outlier experience, but it shows that advertising can be a positive when it's not perverted by all of the things that currently make it terrible.

Sometimes there's a gap in our knowledge of what products, services, events are available. I can remain skeptical of the specific claims made in ads while benefitting from finding out, oh, there's a new pizza place near me, I should try it.

Ads are more annoying than useful, and tracking me needs to stop. But as usual, the most extremist view (positive or negative) is not the most useful one.
Are you seriously proposing banning posts about an experimental programming language because you think it is harmful? This radicalization is one of the most concerning issues with today’s society.
I worked in a large open office. I also live in a tiny apartment that’s designed to be lived/slept in, not 24 hours a day in.

They can continue to use their existing analysis tools, no?
I agree it would (maybe) be better if things had been designed this way from the beginning, but as it is it would be totally incompatible with all existing source code management tools, which is a nonstarter. Even if you can switch to a new editor or IDE, you still have to worry about the GitHub web UI and your error reporting tooling and who even knows what else.
The person you're replying to wants to set it to something custom, to make it memorable and meaningful.
Social justice isn't a bad thing. Social justice instead of actually fulfilling your primary goal is. If all the bugs are closed, the product is beautiful and there's still money sloshing about, then fill your boots.

Also, make sure that your donors know their donation is going to go to racial education of Arab journalists (grantee #1), and not to paying developers and server bills. The begging banners on Wikimedia sites fail to mention that there's already 9 figure surplus, and yet the engineering teams will not see any of it no matter what you give, and their money isn't going to actually end up helping a wiki at all.

If I wanted to donate to racial justice in media, I can send the money to the Media Foundation for West Africa (grantee #5), the Borealis Racial Equity in Journalism Fund (#2) or any of the others myself.
Interfaces have other advantages as well, that is an added benefit.

Implementing a No Op version of an interface for tests or a simple version that uses a map instead of db calles has a lot of benefits.
Been a vegetarian for ~25 years, I don't cheat as my 'beliefs' (or whatever you want to call it) out-way my desire to eat bacon.

For me, at a certain point it became psychological and would be really hard for me to cheat.

i.e. I've tried those better-burger (or derivatives) and mentally I have to keep reminding myself it's not meat as it's a small step in throwing up. I pretty much don't order them any more). In the early days, the smell of bacon was the most tempting, but now it also turns my stomach and I have to leave the room. I can't imagine even trying those fake-meat prawns.
There will be a free "Community" tier, for single users and one public app. A "Developer" tier, priced between $49-$99/mo depending on usage (up to 3 private apps). Then a "Team" subscription including up to 10 private apps and max 5 users for $250-500/mo. And finally, an "Enterprise" tier with unlimited apps, up to 20 user pe team, and custom support and integrations for $30-50K/year.

The Wikipedia article doesn't actually provide a citation for that conclusion, and if you follow the link through to the article about "The Special Counsel's report", i.e. the Mueller Report, you'll find that:

> Mueller privately wrote to Barr, stating that the March 24 Barr letter "did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office's work and conclusions"

Bear in mind that Mueller was a Republican special counsel, whose remit was set by Trump's DOJ, and that:

> On May 1, Barr testified that he "didn't exonerate" Trump on obstruction as "that's not what the Justice Department does" and that neither he nor Rosenstein had reviewed the underlying evidence in the report.

and:

> In July 2019, Mueller testified to Congress that a president could be charged with crimes including obstruction of justice after the president left office.

so he was prevented by policy (not the law or the facts) from bringing charges against Trump.

The article summary concludes:

> In 2020, a Republican-appointed federal judge decided to personally review the report's redactions to see if they were legitimate. The judge said Barr's "misleading" statements about the report's findings led him to suspect that Barr had tried to establish a "one-sided narrative" favorable to Trump.

In any case, the Senate investigation (which is what I originally quoted) came later, and was more forthcoming about the connection between Trump's team and Russia.
It's pretty obvious that its because 'tower' rhymes with 'power'.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
I agree the news feed algorithm is pouring gasoline on the fire, but how do you expect human beings to react to being persecuted and censored as "viruses" and "cancers"; untermensch? What is the ultimate end game with that line of thinking?

"Like a boil that can never be cured as long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its pus-flowing ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must likewise be exposed, with all of the tension its exposing creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured."
I think that's what they want, I believe by "changeable" they meant "customizable"?
I just read through both articles but I don't understand the point you're making. Is it that the NYT article is more fleshed out and talks about their various print products? You can add such a section to the Epoch Times.
if the concern is abuse, i wouldn’t give it to gov
I don't think this is a social justice thing. I personally would be just as annoyed about any other cause. Wikipedia donations shouldn't be championing any cause that isn't open access to information, no matter what side of the political spectrum it's on. Especially if it's to the point that Wikipedia itself is being left to rot in favor of unrelated causes.
They're not "moving" to Vue. They plan to build some optional JS-based components on Vue, since the alternative of purely handcrafted code is unappealing. And even then, that code can probably be refactored to use the vastly superior Svelte once the dev team's weird hostility to workflows based on ahead-of-time code generation is addressed.
Not OP, but this often is used when I am brought onto a new project against old code base, where no one from original developers is around. I am then given four things:

- here is binary that is currently running
- here is source code previous developer left
- here is scant documentation of what it is supposed to accomplish
- here is what we want you to change

the first things you want to to do is confirm the source code you have can build the binaries running.

A lot of compilers, for one reason or another, like to sprinkle random crap into the binaries that makes them different every time you compile. .Net for example adds compiled time into the binary. If you try to compare the two binaries with md5/sha they will always return different.

Without reproducible builds, your next step is to run decompilers against the two binaries, and hope that that output matches.

Much easier if you have reproducible builds. This is also security feature: you will know if anyone tampered with the binary.

Some sources are more credible than others.

I am not saying we should trust DailyMail more than BBC. My issue is with sources where the lines are more blurry.

Say, they will not publish outright misinformation but they will definitely have a editorial stance which colours their coverage.

> If editors didn't exercise judgment in selection of sources, Wikipedia would just be a disinformation playground dominated by the most energetic propagandists

Agreed. But how do we rank which sources are better than the other. Sure, remove ones which publish outright misinformation but after that how do you rank them.

The source will be discussed in WP:NEWSORG boards, the people weighing in on the discussion will be established editors of the site. They will more likely tend to rate sources which fit their echo chambers better higher than others. The same sources will get more weightage in Wikipedia articles. When argued against, Wikipedia editors will cite it is trusted more. It is a self fulfilling loop.

This is why my original question was, is any user curated platform doomed to reach this state.
Thanks! I thought about using <marquee> for some flair, but concluded it's best to leave it as simple as possible for now. :) The headline is there to try to provide some familiarity to the idea and it's not required for implementation.
Brittney Griner? wholly moly, a legend.
Okay, fair point, why not be open about that reason? Maybe the people would not see this as sufficient reason, not perceive the NATO as a threat and back a war. In the west we have, for example, surveillance where the judgment between the state and the people do not really agree.
Now more than ever, Wikipedia must be publicly verifiable. That means that any claim can be checked by anyone with an Internet connection and a library card. Imagine if contested articles contained controversial facts on the basis of secret evidence? The editor made the right call.
> It's very nice that Spring provides a "general configuration file" that lets you patch together a few objects without having to compile anything.

The problem is: how exact do you configure those things? How do I find which nested incantation, and in what format, is applicable to something?

Segue here. I think it is time to rethink the term “free press”. In much the same way we had to wrestle with “free software.” Was it free as in beer? Or free as in speech?

The internet press is more “free as in beer” than ever. It costs nothing. It is probably about as “free as in speech” as it ever was, the variety is a testament to that. But it is not free from influence. It is tied to a profit feedback motive more than it ever has been. Put words on a screen, optimize for profit yield. Until the “press” regains its freedom from this, it will not be free. It will be profit constrained.

In a similar vein, I think it is silly we have social media. It’s profit media more than it is social.
