I know nothing about this issue, but can tell from a quick read through, that that's a bad summary.

It's fairly unusual for CEOs to get involved like this which suggests it's a bad law or the whole world has gone crazy.

I'm going to go with 'its a bad law' as my prior on this.
that may not be 'sexuality' in a strict sense, and might also be considered 'age appropriate'. but then again, it might not be. seems to be very much in the eye-of-the-beholder-preparing-to-bring-legal-action.
To be honest, the first paragraph does say: “the social network changed its hate speech rules to allow users to call for violence against Russians”. It may very well be that its reuters spreading propaganda.

I thought this could solve the following problem: when camping during a mountain hike, figure out where to set up the tent, by knowing at which time you will be woken up by sunlight.

Just BTW on the Netflix subtitles issue - I live in Germany, but I'm not German and generally prefer original audio on everything, typically with English subtitles. And some movies and series on Netflix will really only offer German subtitles, or, even worse, only German audio. No option to choose original.

All movies that have such limited audio/subtitle options, when I play them, start with a title card of a German distributor, so I would believe Netflix on that one.
In many cases the censorship is at the behest of the state institutions. Of course, there isn't a requirement for it to be disclosed as such.

There's no reason students that age should be taught about sexuality's and gender by anyone other than their parents and I'm continually creeped out by the ever-larger contingent of teachers who _insist they must_ be able to talk to my 5 year old nephew about sex.

Do you show non-GAAP measures for its divisions? That would be neat.

From the front page, this looks like an interesting, if somewhat undifferentiated, analysis tool. (See most brokers’ free stock screening/filtering tools, for example, IB’s or Fidelity’s.) The UI appears well built. As a trainer for would-be brokers, it’s fine. Where it loses its education bona fides is in its stock-analysis orientation. That paradigm contains an implicit bias towards stock picking. (Versus, e.g., a portfolio-analysis paradigm.)

The fundamentals approach is laudable. But it’s surface level. If you can’t construct financial statements from scratch, memorising a bunch of accounting ratios doesn’t drive first-principles understanding. If you can’t model a capital structure, you’re scratching at surface level stats mined to bits by the pros when e.g. a bond issuance is announced.

All that said, your company could make money if it tapped into the take-a-screenshot-and-tweet market. It won’t help people understand. But many traders don’t care about that. That’s a valid target market.

> Asking "Any Java experts around?" takes little effort

which is precisely why this is annoying: it's asking for a social commitment without putting any effort in. It also reaches for the top shelf for no reason. Does the person's question really need a Java "expert"? Probably not.

> A "no" response for the first question could save you from wasting your time with the second.

Arguably if they were to find help _anywhere_ they would benefit from articulating their question in a clear and concise way. Let alone the high probability that through writing the question they might answer their own question, because we're all humans.
This may be the motivation I need to permanently delete Twitter. I’ve deleted it before when they’ve played with this stuff, because I don’t want to use an app I have to fight with. I was going through Apple News last night, and that looks like it might be a decent replacement for me.

It also forbids discussing gender identity in primary school, which is completely reactionary. Discussing gender is fine for kids, and it's totally developmentally appropriate for primary school kids to know that there are boys, girls, and non binary people.

It also requires disclosing any emotional or mental health changes to parents. If a kid tells a teacher, "I've realized I'm gay, and that is making me depressed/hard to concentrate" the school needs to inform the parents. That's a huge problem in some parts of the country where being gay can result in neglect, abuse, abandonment, being sent to conversion therapy, or more subtle discrimination and outing.

You've really given this law a very surface reading, and not thought about, "how could this be used adversarially to hurt people."

(I'm about as lefty as they come, but I'm generally against gun control laws, for instance, because I believe they will be enforced in a way that hurts people.)
VST or bust
I caught a new musical last night, and one chorus seems rather apt:

We want the truth
And the truth is
The truth we want is
The truth we want to hear

(Sung by a very biased and despotic set of judges.)
To start with, I agree with this:

> I think the mRNA vaccines are a tremendous marvel and our best tool for defending ourselves from COVID. But they are not a panacea, and we cannot build trust in them by demanding it.

But I think the aviation analogy has to be pushed a lot farther for it to be relevant to COVID vaccines, and the analogy stops making sense well before that. The main differences would seem to be:

- Unlike heavier-than-air powered aircraft in 1905, COVID vaccines in 2021/2022 are effective, and probably crucial at fighting a pandemic which has killed a very large number of people and otherwise impacted many more.
- The mechanisms by which mRNA vaccines work are basically mRNA translation (making proteins) which has been known about for 50 years or so and is well understood (I think, though I'm not an expert), and protein subunit vaccination, which is also well understood, and in fact already in widespread use.
- Vaccination is (if I understand correctly), not only useful for an individual, but also useful for the population if vaccination rates are sufficiently high. There is therefore a valid public health reason to encourage high vaccination rates.
- The United States government has not made vaccination mandatory in general, it has made it mandatory in certain (admitedly quite broad) circumstances. More importantly perhaps, mRNA vaccination in particular has never been mandated (as far as I know), so people who would rather get a different type of vaccine (e.g. an adenovirus vector vaccine) can do so, to the extent that supplies are available.
- I don't believe that the US government has suppressed discussion of the risks of mRNA vaccination (which are pretty clearly much lower than the risks of not being vaccinated in nearly all cases). Depending on which online/social echo chambers one prefers to inhabit, there has likely been some suppression of discussion due to groupthink or something similar.

I don't believe that there is an analogy with aviation that captures all of these, or even just the important ones, but it seems pretty clear that using airplane airworthiness as en example of how most people are happy to outsource most risk analysis to experts most of the time is reasonable, but using early aviation technology as a detailed analogy to mRNA vaccine development and application in response to COVID is not likely to be useful.
Place a well insulated wall in the middle of a field. Add a tripled glazed window and 100% efficient ventilation. Which side of the wall is warmer than the other?

Ideal indoor air quality is equal to outdoor air quality. This can only be achieved through air exchange. The ventilation process may be 100% efficient but the consequences of pumping outside air in and inside air out are the same. The air must be heated and costs some unit of energy to accomplish.

American Imperialism: keep the oil flowing (we don't have to sell it ourselves, you guys drill, sell and profit, just keep it flowing), keep the trade as free as possible, have at least some sort of justice system that is not medieval, don't start genocides, don't start senseless wars (by senseless we mean against a country that respects all the points above), don't humiliate us(Cuba, Iran). If you do these, you're gonna be in pretty good terms with the US, in general.

IMO this about sums it up, the fierce American Imperialism. You just cannot put American imperialism and Russian Imperialism in the same paragraph without being a Russian troll or apologist.

Russian Imperialism: conquer nations through medieval, brutal wars, for no reason other than "they border us, so we must attack them first", displace 30% of the population to Siberia (10% in gulags), move in your Russian colonists to take their place, install your own people at the top of the country, you can only do good trades with Russia and its allies, maybe you'll have your entire resources stolen anyway.
Maybe I am being over critical, but this is not what I imagine when I think of a modular computer. It's cool being able to swap in and out all kinds of peripherals like that in any position and orientation, but the computer itself does not seem modular. Unless you could connect multiples of them together and increase their performance and space for more peripherals without causing additional overhead.
When my 23 year old vehicle finally gives in and it gets too expensive to repair I will be getting a side-by-side. [1] Possibly even one that is EV but no internet connections. No fondle-screen. It will cover 99% of my driving needs as I don't even leave this county any more. I see people drive their side-by-sides into town all the time, even the ones that aren't street legal and the troopers don't bat an eye. I will get the street legal version regardless.

Maybe in 10+ years if large EV trucks have options for no internet/cellular network connection and no touch screens I might get one. They have a lot of bugs to work out and competition to create.

I agree that's a possible reason. But I don't think it's specifically necessary for Twitter, especially the sort of power user who wants a chronological timeline.

Whether or not they show topic data for a particular tweet, they generally have it. I only use the chronological timeline, and I cleared out the interests list a year or two back, but they have built up a profile of hundreds of interests for me.

I suspect forcing the ranked timeline on people is all about a small portion of Twitter juicing their engagement metrics, with no grand cross-team strategy in play.

I'll go one further: I have child porn of myself online and I don't support the Earn-IT Act. Then again, having my online presence wiped out after 7.5 years at the age of 12 when COPPA went into effect made me really cynical.

As did the fact that nobody listened to the few of us who were children online back then. It's always based on these weird, interesting hypotheticals.

(This isn't to minimize child abuse or trafficking, of course.)

Edit: Also I'll say as someone who's been online for almost 30 years (age 4 to now almost 34) that the harassment and sexual abuse I received/was subject to were at their highest levels from the ages of 14 to 25.
Yascha Mounk and Persuasion is really great. I tend to like writers that have more of a scout mindset.

Bari Weiss’ Common Sense, Scott Alexander (the comments here trashing him are wrong, easy to tell by reading him), The Diff by Byrne Hobart is one of the best finance blogs online, Noahpinion by Noah Smith, Zvi Mowshowitz has had good writing about Covid.

Andrew Sullivan’s the weekly dish has different politics than I do, but he’s also a good writer with a scout mindset imo.

Outside of substack, Coleman Hughes, Kmele Foster, Sam Harris, Ben Thompson of Stratechery, Thomas Chatterton Williams, Julia Galef are all great.

Sam Harris in particular is a really good, smart, interviewer.

Precisely, having plenty of providers doesn't mean there is one in each country and most countries get by fine without a local provider.

If a country finds itself commercially banned by so many countries it can't get a certificate from any of them and by the time this has happened it hasn't been able to get a domestic CA vetted by the international community then trust is broken on a deeper level than the CA system is designed to handle and is going to fall apart for that region either way.
Meta decides what violence is acceptable or not. If you are still on Facebook, you can decide if this is acceptable for you. I would be surprised if they are still here in 10 years. They will probably burn all their money developing the metaverse anyway.
Of course it does. It was a mainstay of the British Empire. America does it all over. Russia does it too, of course. NATO doing it isnt special.

However, by doing it they do automatically become a hostile, aggressive alliance rather than a defensive alliance and that makes them a potential threat.

It's the combination of Ukraine's ultra-strategic location (for threatening russia) and the threat of joining a hostile military alliance that provoked such a violent response from Putin.

Gender? If a kid has a friend who is non binary, or has a trans friend, and asks their teachers about it you think it's inappropriate for the teacher to say, "well, some people are boys, some people are girls, some people are neither, and we try to make sure we respect each other."
This was a stupid decision. Thawte is helping Russian government here and gives them a valid excuse to force switching Russian internet to national-issued certificates. It won't hurt Russian economy or Russian army.

Past few years we automated much of the more common problems. Making the platform highly configurable to the customer so a lot of use cases, especially when it comes to data generation, can be met. But due to the nature of the industry (regulatory software), there's always obscure rules and needs that require new features. So the work isn't completely monotonous, but it is relatively simple.

Hobbyist isn't necessarily bad though. Look at where boards like the raspberry pi/Arduino were and look at where they are now. There was an image floating around a few weeks back of a major screen at a train station that had crashed... with the raspberry pi logo at the top. It will take time, sure, but it could become much bigger than one might expect.

"Russian restaurant owners in the U.S. say they face harassment over Ukraine war"

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-russia-restaurants-puti...

"Russian businesses in U.S. face threats, vandalism over invasion"

https://www.axios.com/russian-businesses-us-vandalism-threat...

Social media plays a role here.
You are correct.

"We won't allow credible calls for violence against Russian civilians," says Meta.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/mar/11/facebook-...

They define credible as: having two "indicators of credibility", such as location or method. That is a considerably higher bar than for any other group. And that's referring to civilians, not soldiers.

In a separate, internal memo, they explicitly say that hate speech and violent speech against Russian civilians is allowed "if the context is the Russian invasion". That's sufficiently vague that the policy allows for dehumanization.

This is already having a real-world impact, even in countries where Facebook explicitly says all hate speech against Russians, even soldiers, is still banned (obviously, as always, enforcement is lacking). See the real-world impact here:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/03/07/antirussian-...

---

It's also fascinating that you are being accused of spreading misinformation for telling the truth about what Facebook said. Some can say Facebook's statement is vague, but these are PR professionals who can certainly be as vague or as precise as they want to be.

It highlights the future we are heading towards, if those who want unbridled corporate power to "ban misinformation" end up having their way. The statement Meta made yesterday would get memory-holed the next day.
Sales of Chinese phones in Russia already dropped by half.

Also, generally speaking: Russia isn’t a partner for China; they just happened to have some common interests. China simply buy out Russia for peanuts, they are already buying Russian oil at price lower than it costs Russia to extract it. China won’t put their sales to the West at risk, Russian market isn’t worth it.
Your account has been used exclusively in the past week to do ideological battle and start flamewars. This isn’t what HN is for.

Yeah, kind of a record.

It’s unfortunate because https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29802953 was actually an interesting point. But you’ll need to phrase things as questions rather than statements in order to post constructively on heated topics.

(The “phrase statements as questions” trick has helped me, even if I ignore it more than I should.)
It's not clear if you're intentionally trying to conflate kindergartners, with all school children.

There's a lot of things in life that are not suitable for kindergartners, but are suitable and appropriate for other school age children, I believe driving trucks is one such thing in America. If your only argument against those things is "well its not appropriate for kindergarten" when the law is not only covering kindergarten, then it feels like you're confused about what this law you support says.

Maybe thats why you can't understand people's reactions to it?

> "The local language" is already a problem. There are countries where there are multiple local/national languages!

I have this issue with Microsoft. The national language in my country is English. However, Microsoft's store defaults to a local language that I don't speak every single time. My IP is also not from a part of the country that speaks that language either.
Maxmind API's will identify Tor traffic pretty reliably fwiw.

I tried Tor one time years ago when I was testing Maxmind. It always seemed like if you were using it you'd become an exit node by default (I could be completely wrong on this, I haven't looked into deeply). Just gave me the impression that my IP address would suddenly be associated with whatever anyone else was doing and that seemed...bad.

Totally understand that there are plenty of perfectly valid uses of Tor but you don't really hear much about those.
