If I ask someone to do something I always sign off with "thanks". It's odd, but "thank you" just doesn't work, even though I prefer it.
Yes. Just like an absolutely free market promotes warlords and cartels.

Someone will ALWAYS try to game the system.
Wouldn't the prudent course be to avoid making oneself a political character at all?
He is more competent but also much more likely to use it as a political lever and to gather information and take revenge against people he doesn't like.
> When AST is built, it is validated to make sure it makes sense (that’s called lexing) and converted it to the bytecode.

I've never heard "lexing" used this way, and I believe it's simply incorrect. Lexing (tokenizing) precedes parsing (parse tree and then syntax tree construction). It isn't syntax tree validation.

Or so I thought. Are there other examples (besides this article) of "lexing" also being used to mean something else?
The first amendment does not protect anyone who says fire in a theater. Dont make the argument more absurd that it needs to be.
Do you play a lot of modern Doom wads and thus have a good feel for the state of the art, or is there some other basis for believing SIGIL would be unmatched?
Our tastebuds have to learn to appreciate new tastes. So if you grew up on a very sugary taste palate, having dark bread for the first time will be tough. If you were unlucky enough to pick one with added caraway I'm not surprised at all. That has some strong and somewhat bitter taste and serves you right for stealing it xD
Snap has been on borrowed time for a while. Both Tiktok and FB do what they do only better and with more users.
Do both democratic and meritocratic methods of polling suggest the opinion is harmful? Delete.

Otherwise it stays until consensus.

The edge cases pale in comparison to the broadly accepted manipulation of a near-majority. And furthermore compared to the point-of-no-return where the majority is sufficiently manipulated.

Edit: downstream comments emphasizing the edge cases must've missed my last paragraph. The improvement only has to be better than doing nothing. Right now doing nothing is arguably acutely affecting almost 50% of the US population. No way the edge cases add up to that.
And he was sued.

Name a country where that isn’t true.
> What about if the government tells private platforms what speech is acceptable, going so far as flagging "problematic" posts?

Then it would be a clearly different situation.
Probably trying hard not to be a rule book.
I assume you don’t mean ‘you can have free speech absolutism by making it easier to have real life consequences for saying the wrong thing’
I don't know anything about compelling companies but speech by itself cannot harm anybody.

Stuff that Hitler said are benign within the context of knowing what happened in WW2, his words are merely a historic relic and no one start putting Jews in camps just by reading his words. His words are not a spell that makes people do things when you read them. Back then his words caused harm because they were said within the context of 1930s-1940s Europe.

The context doesn't disappear when you block speech. Let the speech exists and enable fair pushback for the opponents of the said speech is the way to handle it, IMHO.

For example, instead of pretending that racists don't exists by deleting their arguments and accounts, let them say the things they have to say and enable the opponents of it have the same reach.
Why would the stock go lower than it was before Musk started buying?
I have tonnes. Sometimes they're applications, sometimes they're libraries. Recently I've been interested in random experiments to push my exposure to ideas in strange ways. Most recently I wrote a redis module for encryption (https://github.com/chayim/redicrypt). My current project asyncronously fetches me status from various services (GitHub, Jira, Travis) so that I can track all sorts of things.

Personal use is the biggest driver of my ongoing learning.
I recently dusted off my mid-90s CRT and with a HDMI/VGA adapter have been using it on my main system. Call it nostalgia, refresh rate, phosphor hypnosis, whatever, but it feels simpler and quieter and less intimidating than a 32" 4K.

Maybe the glass curve conveys a sense of the system being enclosed, as opposed to all around us as today.
Hence the "actually understanding" part, that's precisely the point. What is, vs what could be.
> glorification of crime

This runs into a problem because of the inherent inequality of "crime".

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges.
We spent three hours trying to track down what happened, thinking that an account had been compromised, before GitHub acknowledged this.

Our usage report said that the egregious minutes were run on deleted repositories so we were very concerned.

These outages and incidents are getting very tiring, and costly.
It’s just unbelievable to me that people are talking about this free speech thing as if it’s a legitimate thing to actually be talked about. These are Trump and Putin tactics. Get people talking about idiotic claims as if they’re real, while you do what you want behind the noise.

Musk is the person who claimed that the SEC was violating his free speech rights for investigating him over market manipulation. I would argue the SEC was actually very light on Musk, and it’s clear here again Musk is manipulating the market. If Twitter denies his offer, he will sell after pumping the stock, and he already indicated that in his offer letter in order to soften claims of market manipulation. If Twitter accepts his offer, he gets massive control over his “free” speech.
The principle of free speech is what lets Twitter (which is just a collection of private people) decide which content to publish or not publish.
E-waste is a really big issue. Looking after old computers and giving
them a genuine use is a good contribution to reducing pollution. I
wrote about this recently [1][2]. DOSBox on top of a minimal nix

IIRC startup scripts and such are run under SYSTEM. Some orgs have incredibly awful startup scripts that take minutes, it's not impossible that one of them has a script of "git-uninstall.exe && git-install.exe" to "ensure" git is installed.
That’s what the first amendment does.

Free speech is a fundamental human right, outside of any document.
Have you tried abiword for word processing?

Why don’t you have the pi upload to google drive? Have the smb mount point to a rclone mount that’s google drive. Skip a hop :)
Let me guess, the 2020 election was stolen and you also believed in Pizzagate?
> As we’ve seen with TikTok’s rise, competition within the space leads to better outcomes

I disagree. The whole social media industry is rotten and needs a dose of... something... to bring it back to sanity. Strict limits on user data collection and algorithmic "feeds" would be a good start IMHO. Otherwise the same patterns repeat themselves, where the most rage-inducing content gets spread the furthest.
He got banned as a citizen of the united states, welcome to people's sovereignity where the politicians have the same fundamental rights as the citizens they represent.

The governmental account is still active.
He won the lawsuit. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/06/business/elon-musk-defama...

According to the court no damages were done.

Are you suggesting he wouldn't have paid if the court awarded the pedo guy damages?
What’s the Worst That Could Happen?
Don’t Use These Free-Speech Arguments Ever Again
You can replace "cat /usr/share/dict |" in that invokation with "</usr/share/dict" and it will be equally easy to switch between tr and sed. Yes, you can put that redirection at the start, not just at the end of a command line. Although I admit I still haven't got used to doing it.
free speech as an american concept does not cover private businesses, it's specifically meant to curb government censorship

if private businesses had to uphold the same standards the internet would very quickly devolve into every space becoming 4chan... you'd see people protesting inside of stores, it would be a mess

maybe there's a call to make a platform like twitter a public utility, that would possibly solve it, but what a thorny situation that would be... I imagine the rules would likely be more restrictive than they are now, despite censorship laws. I'd guess they'd want to strip anonymity as well.
Musk can just bankroll Twitter as his pet project. Think Bezos and the Washington Post.
Not when there’s bidirectional communication happening between govt and tech companies on these issues. We’ve seen them coordinate to erase particular stories from the public narrative etc. They literally have manipulated elections by doing this.

These companies were engaged in a covert surveillance program on behalf of intelligence agencies too. That by itself makes them effectively an extension of the state.
Atheism is probably considered very nasty in Saudi Arabia. Support for LGBT rights as well. Depicting Mohammad in a cartoon too.

If anything, with a majority of the world population living in illiberal or semi-liberal regimes, we need free speech absolutism more than before.
While the AGX does have MMUs and TLBs, unified memory and TLBs are orthogonal. For instance the Raspberry Pi's SoC has unified memory, but no MMU/TLB on the GPU. That IP block can only access physical memory.
> democratic and meritocratic methods of polling suggest the opinion is harmful? Delete.

This is, in essence, selecting for experts spouting popular opinions. That’s a dangerous incentive model. (All before we even get to the question of delineating the experts.)
Hottest take on HN. Countries without actual free speech have better “free speech” than the only country with actual free speech.
You'd think the CEO of an electric car company, that was started to help the environment, would cater to a difference audience

But we live in a Meta-gopoly. Basically a control system by pseudo-chosen monopolies in various verticals that are all run by NGOs, but in bed with GOs.... with a revolving door of influence.

Look at the revolving door between FB and the NSA, or the fact that Amazon is building, running GovCloud, or that the CEO owns one of the big media firms, and that he is able to get clearance for satellites and rocket launches...

The non-existent lines between global corporate influence and which governments either benefit or suffer from the tech reach is quite disturbing.
Since Elon bought his 9% stake, the value of Twitter increased.
He mentions selling his shares if the takeover is not accepted.
That would make him a lot of money!

His offer is also on the high side, this might make people bullish about twitter.
On the other hand, I do think he is genuinely interested in buying twitter.

But can't help to feel this might also be lucrative for him if the deal doesn't go through.

It seems like Musk has a love hate relationship public companies... That's why SpaceX is still private.
If you can find such numbers, I'd love to see them.

Google docs is a joke.
Ah ok so you deliberately choose to ignore listing all his positive attributes. I can’t take your criticisms seriously because it shows wilful bias. You realize half of what you wrote could be levelled against Steve Jobs as well?
That's not what I used but yeah similar process
Nearly all of the useful "moderation" on Twitter is me choosing who I follow. Some of it is me choosing who I block. Everything else is a rounding error by comparison. Or at least it should be. I've no idea how involved Twitter's algorithms are in my experience and that scares me a little bit.

I don't mind if Twitter wants to offer me their own opinion about which posts are bad and which people are bad, but I should be allowed to opt out of that. Better still, they could have multiple competing paid services offering filtering/blocking tailored to different themes. Paid—because if they have an economic incentive to satisfy their subscribers, they'll satisfy their subscribers. The problem with the free filtering done by Twitter today is that they have an economic incentive to satisfy their shareholders.
moot made 4chan and ran it off servers in his basement because he was inspired by Futaba channel and 2chan, and he wanted to create an English-oriented forum to discuss anime with others in an anonymous fashion.

I wouldn't say he got nothing to show for it, considering his goal never was financial gain or anything of the sort.
I chose a different system, you can buy something for yourself or you can buy something for everyone in which case the price is shared between everyone. Is it less fair? Perhaps the unfairness does accumulate (for example, I'm the only vegetarian here, but meat still gets added to the shared budget, but in exchange I eat more non-meat than others), but it would be really inconvenient to have, say, 3 packs of cheese (you can't just take an entire pack of cheese, so it can't be shared with your system). Also I don't need any labels!
I'm equally suspicious, made even worse by stating completely factless things like "more robust".

Also what's available and what I'm purchasing is different. I'd pay about 35$ for uncapped 100/100 and that's enough for me. But everywhere where you can get 100 you can also get 1000 for maybe 90$ a month. I don't want 1000 because it's useless for my use case, and I don't have anything to prove so instead of wasting money I'm staying on 100, I think most people are because it's just enough. There's also 250 and 500 inbetween which some might get too.

This is Sweden, which is supposedly 50 Mbit behind the US (x for doubt)
Ok. Maybe it is me.

But that is weird. I mean I don’t really think that my finger is on the pulse of the tech community but I’ve been on this site for the past 10 years.
Absolutely this.

Not just the rise of authoritarian leaders, but promoting both extreme left and extreme right political opinions leading to questioning the legitimacy of democratically elected leaders and the destabilization of free societies.
You might be keying on the absence of any advertising whatsoever. So many media sites are so bogged down by advertising that it would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Beyond that, it does have good fundamental design. Hierarchy of typography is simple and clear, they font used for the article copy is legible and sized nicely. And, because of he lack of advertisements and attempts to pull you further into the site, there's enough white space to give it a more relaxed feeling.

If you want to learn the fundamentals of design, pick up the Non-Designers Design Book. Quick read with great explanations of the core principles of good information design.
These companies all spy on you on behalf of the government and have censored legitimate news stories in a coordinated fashion to manipulate an election. Their connections to intelligence agencies alone make them effectively public institutions in my view.
I think these two aspects are inexorably intertwined, the same personality trait.

On the plus side, you get first principles thinking, bull in a china shop unstoppability. You get important progress in rocket technology (reuse and radically lower cost per kg delivered). You get electric vehicles that people want to buy, at scale, after decades of slow walking by the rest of the industry.

On the minus side, you get the naive notion that Twitter could be made radically more "free" without turning into a cesspool that loses the bulk of its mainstream audience.
If you're using GNU tar, there are four short options to specify compression/decompression: -Z for compress, -z for gzip, -j for bzip2 and -J for xz.
Using long options, you can specify --compress, --gzip, --bzip2, --xz for the same, or even --lzip, --lzma, --lzop or --zstd for others.
The only problem with that idea is that the blocklists will inevitably end up being used to slander and malign other groups as people will use them to assign unpleasant labels to others. In the end, someone will need to moderate the lists, so you're right back at the same moderation problem. Humans on the internet tend to find all the creative ways to be assholes-at-scale.
“And so the problem remained, and lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.

Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.”

The United States abolished slavery later than most other Western countries,
including the British Empire,
and at its founding was "free" only for a minority of white, land-owning males.
While the Bill of Rights protected local elites from dictates of the federal government,
it was not applied to state governments until the 20th century.

Additionally, free speech was applied highly unevenly throughout the 20th century.

What a stupid and idiotic question! Why would you even think to ask such a thing?! I'll have you know that my understanding of the situation is so much more evolved than yours, because I saw a headline referring to an article on another site that said that my assumption with no data is correct, as dictated by my emotions being reinforced with the multitude of soundbites affirming my smugness in my perceived expertise based on my OWN research!
I don't know why anyone would trust Musk to champion free speech.

He has no background with any org that works on protecting free speech. He hasn't done work with the ACLU.

Billionaires buying media companies has been great for broadcasting the billionaire perspective, but mixed at best on free speech.

A lot of people currently decrying moderation activities on US social media sites as being against free speech are the same people supporting bills, mostly in state governments, that limit free speech.
Haven’t actual read it yet, but I was writing something last night about how I miss the early days of Web 2.0, which I refer to as “the teenage web”
Thankfully, I already disclosed the issue to iView's engineer team back in December 2021, and a lot of the original data has since been removed from the site. I do try to take care of this issue by censoring a lot of information about the security issue in the write-up, but I'm not sure if that is enough.
> I remember when Facebook bought Instagram. Instagram had something like 13 employees. Why does Twitter need two orders of magnitude more?

Companies tend to hire more employees as long as the marginal benefit to doing so is greater than the marginal cost. Even minor improvements to a product like Twitter can boost revenue by millions. Reducing the headcount might not maximise their income.

There will be exceptions though. Valve does lot more than most video-game companies with far fewer employees.
It's not a "utility". It's a social media site that is arguably a net negative for society irrespective of what kinds of moderation policies it has.

How so when Twitter barely makes any money, and he's got all he could need?
Last week, I wrote an Add-on for GoogleSheets that scrapes a defined list of company job boards for jobs that fit my criteria, adds them to the sheet, and sends me an SMS with Twilio when a new one is added. Runs every hour, and I can be one of the first people to apply for a newly posted job without having to monitor 15 different sites manually. I also use the sheet to track the application status.
