>>it might instead be a petty man animated by a misguided notion of free speech that mostly means posting anything you want to a privately owned social network regardless of the potential harm it may cause

It is privately owned, but it acts as a public square. For the same reasons that we defend the right to Free Speech at the public level, we should push the platforms that act as public squares to guarantee Free Speech.

We have already seen how limiting Free Speech, in the name of fighting "disinformation", can be abused.

This is the kind censoring I've personally been subjected to:

Meanwhile on Twitter, the "fact-checkers" are now taking it upon themselves to try to discredit tweets that make the leading personalities of the political left look bad:

https://archive.md/go6EU

This is abuse of the allegedly impartial fact-checking process for clearly ideological ends.

Another demonstration of this is the Facebook "whistleblower". She explained that she was motivated to blow the whistle after one of her friends was, in her words, radicalized, through Facebook. Of course she doesn't consider herself, a lifelong "ally" and supporter of far-left causes, who worked on a search feature allowing Pinterest users to search by skin tone - in order to discriminate in favor of people of certain colors - radicalized. Because that's pro-establishment radicalism.

Yet another would be Twitter's policy of banning people who refer to males who present as women with male gender pronouns. This moderation policy enforces left-wing ideological values, like the idea that gender is a property that is self-chosen, and for something that acts as a public square to push left wing ideology via censorship is deeply inappropriate.

Like Glenn Greenwald said:

>>The entire "anti-disinformation"/"anti-extremism" industry is a gigantic fraud, funded by the same tiny handful of billionaires, governments and NGOs: a scam to control discourse while feigning neutral, non-ideological goals to battle "disinformation"

The fight against disinformation is really a fight to stifle dissent against the establishment and its official ideology, which I prefer to call Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity (DIE).

You are lying. I did not say "it will not have any effect on Russia's spending".

Clearly, it would have. But not in the military, certainly not in the short term.

Russia can be completely bankrupt and still keep destroying all of Ukraine for years. A year to phase out all Russian imports? With most of it gone a lot sooner? Not that big a deal.
20C is what most Americans set their heaters to AFAIK (68F). Glad to know we're sticking it to the Russians... :)

What you say makes no sense. Russia has been and is a threat to the US.
A sense of moral superiority for their 'cut throat rationality'
Yes, any sort of demilitarization would make them into a satellite state, crushable at will.

They can possibly agree to territorial losses (though after all the bloodshed and murder I consider even that unlikely - not just that, but the West does not want Putin to gain anything from this war, so it will support Ukraine until victory, however long it takes), but not to any kind of hollowing out of their army. That would be a prolonged national suicide.
Cascade delete is a less risky operation from a security stand point. There are so many edge cases where potentially sensitive information could get leaked with regards to subscribed private repos if not handled correctly. In fact I have personally filed a bug bounty with GitHub after discovering just such a bug.

I’m not saying there isn’t a better way Github could handle this situation. Just that I do sympathise with the decision to cascade delete.
Thing is that although this attack was from a shore battery (assuming the Ukrainian account is true,) the Neptune missile is actually an air launch design. So unless the Russian navy moves out of range of an SU-27 or whatnot they're still vulnerable.

Iraq hit the US navy with missiles launched from a business jet. Given what we've seen to date the Ukrainians are at least as resourceful.

Bad time to be on a Russian warship in the Black Sea.
I m happy to see that AMD Ryzen is supported !

But this laptop is missing:

- a second USB-C.
- You don't need that HDMI if you have enough USB-C, since you can turn them into what ever port you need.
- Why the fuck do we still have USB-2 port ?
- We really need to have option for the screen, 1080p is not enough for a lot of people. I like to have as much screen pixel has possible (because I can display more line of code).
If a tactical nuke is used, then it is proof that escalation to nuclear weapons does not imply the global nuclear holocaust that has been acting as a deterrent.

It eliminates the logic of not going to war.

Not that "logic" has any connection to "appetite" or that excuses require it.
I'm curious how it got better when Trump was kicked off?

Also, deleting all posts and links to the Hunter Biden laptop story before the election might have drastically changed the election. Is asking them to be fair for stories on the right as well as stories on the left asking too much?
The language formalized and is "done". The core is written, and while it still has changes and improvements as Erlang OTP improves, the gist of the language is done (even the creator has said this, I believe).

That doesn't mean Elixir isn't a fast growing language, or that the developer mindshare is dwindling, in fact I would argue there are more developers (and new developers!) than ever. Surprisingly a lot in the Asian markets, Japan especially.

And with work being focused from the core Elixir team towards projects such as with Livebook, Nerves, and Nx for machine learning, there is a lot of valueable and cool work being done, it's just not the most flashy thing because it's so rock solid and stable.
> Anyhow it is typical of westerners to co-opt open source eastern techniques to commercialise and pass as their invention. Same as Amazon taking open source and turning it into yet another AWS service.
> Greed & ego - pure and simple.

Perhaps, but consider: in a sibling comment, codenlearn posted a link to Wim Hof's video, I watched it, and did ten minutes of breathing exercise. He shared some knowledge (open source spirit), it was free (no commercialization), and I would not even remember his username if I hadn't copied it for the sake of this comment (no ego).

I learned more from his comment than I did from yours. You could have shared a better guide, some resource to learn about the original practices, but you didn't. Instead your comment focused exclusively on your offense at the lack of recognition for you(r in-group). What is that if not ego? Group narcissism is still narcissism.

I have an E585, and I agree it's not quite as good. I think the E series are kind of the "budget ThinkPads" (I got it second-hand in a pinch after my previous laptop broke). It's decent enough I suppose, but I've had a number of curious hardware problems with it (including the drift you mentioned).

> I do appreciate the thinkpad's clustered f1-f12 keys, which make common f keys quicker and easier to find.

Finally I found someone who cares about this too! I've had laptops without those little gaps, and I found it unnoticeably harder to use the F keys; for example brightness up/down is F5/6, and when watching some TV at night when it's dark it's so much easier to find those keys with those little gaps. Even in regular normal use it just makes things a wee bit easier.

It's a small design detail, but it so clearly and objectively makes the keyboard better than I don't understand why so many keyboards don't include it. Well, I do understand: the graphical designers have locked all UX designers in a closet somewhere, but still...

> griping about the "swapped" ctrl/fn key positions

You can just change it in the BIOS anyway so that Fn is Ctrl and Ctrl is Fn, so it's a non-issue anyway.
Nuclear power is just not that scaleable when you think through the implications. To stop climate change, you'd need a huge multiplication of nuclear industry. You'd need plants everywhere. All major cities in the industrialized world. And in developing countries. All of them, including those you wouldn't trust to officiate a child's birthday party without corruption and mismanagement.

All of that assumes none of those countries start using their new nuclear industry to get nuclear weapons. The world is unsafe as it is with some rogue/rogue-ish states having them. And dirty bombs are even easier, especially with all the nuclear waste being produced and stored... somewhere.
> ...they underestimate their opponents.

And at the same time overestimate their own capabilities. Both history and life experience teach us that more often than not failure is an outcome of inadequate self-observation. Imagined prowess based on mistaken assumptions is so often the source of defeat even more than losing to a genuinely superior adversary. It's the difference between arrogant blindness and courage under fire, the first is a dishonest prelude to failure, the second affirms reality and probability of success.

Ask HN: Organize meetings across different timezones
Hi HN community ! This is a question remote companies and remote teams.
Do you have issues organizing team meetings when participants are spread across different timezones ? Do you have any kind of tools to remedy that ?
Chernobyl was no error per se. It was conscious decision with political background, possible, because entire system of values in USSR was upside down. In normal country there would be no reason to do any of that.
That's more of a human problem in general. We don't like having our preconceptions challenged. It might mean we have to rethink our understanding of the world.
> Opposition to nuclear power isn't a political

Sorry, I don't get this. Of course your opposition on something can be based on ideology. That is the case if your opposition is more based on your history and tradition than on current facts.

I personally think that there are enough facts to say that nuclear is not really a great option, but I also think that the Green's opposition is based more on ideology (i.e. because they have been historically against it) than on facts. For me, that is evident when they talk more about nuclear risks in general than about financial considerations.
Sati existed before Islam ever did
From personal experience and from reading the other comments, some people see open source as a popularity contest and more stars will get you more users (which in turn gets you more stars).

Choosing one library over another just because it has more stars is bad decision making.

Consider choosing a command line tool for making http requests. If you consider GitHub stars:
- curl has 24.7k stars
- httpie has 4.3k stars as of writing this
- wget only has a mirror on GitHub with 264 stars

Does this mean wget is a bad tool? Does it mean httpie used to be vastly superior to curl with over 2x the amount of stars? I don't think you can really say anything meaningful about these projects based on the amount of stars, especially relatively to each other. Except for how many people clicked on the star button.
Not $400, but €300, so $334

32gb is the only reason.. but then again, doesn't matter, because developers claim RAM is cheap anyway.. so there's no problem buying a macbook pro instead.

The screen is not 4k, trackpad not as good, it's plastic, It has this oldschool barrel powercharger, etc. etc. etc.
I use `git push -o ci.skip` all the time. Also things like ci.variable="DEPLOY_MODE=QUICK" is super handy when I do want to run a deploy in a specific configuration.
There’s not really much way around this since Linux puts syscall traps in every binary rather than routing through a libsyscall.so that contains the traps. (If the latter were the case, a container could provide an alternate library to do syscall interception much more easily on non-Linux platforms.)

I completely agree.

I’ve been an iOS developper for 8 years (working on apps with millions of downloads, for a French company).

I’ve been fighting management constantly about this, explaining that it would be cheaper to have iOS and Android experts ratherg than « multiplatform » developers. For instance, on iOS side, frameworks and UI change a lot every years, so you want to be able to update your apps quickly and adopt the new best practices (which is easier if you stick to the standard UI without any other framework).

We had other projects that started with a multiplatform approach, to go back after sometimes on « real » native apps (by real, I mean using only standard SDK, UIKit on iOS for instance). Despite these failures, management keep pushing for technology like React Native, Xamarin etc…

I’ve lost this battle: I think that the idea to have half devs is to appealing to business, and you don’t have chance to explain why this is not as simple as it’s seems to be. Or my points were simply not convincing.

I doubt that a succinct full text index (like an FM-index) of this data would require more than a modest server to keep in memory. Why aren't these used in this context?
Annual fuel consumption = Starship's 1000 t capacity of fuel per launch * 365 day * 24 hour/day / 4 hour per launch = 2 million tons.

Global annual CO2 emissions = 30 billion tons.

If all the fuel became CO2, that's 0.01% of the global emission rate, so worthy sacrifice for a Mars colony, I think.
It's not the electrical cost so much as system complexity. They could use less heat shield, more payload, spin the payload less hard, etc.

But isn't this awfully close to saying: Blockchains/Cryptocurrencies are useful exactly for money laundering and sanction busting? And ... saying that publicly _and_ supporting the implementation tends to go very badly. (As it should imo, but that's a different story).

IF that is the summary conclusion to crypto (which I'm currently holding), then this is pretty close to "no practical value whatsoever", isn't it?
There was some corruption in Soviet Union (like in most countries around the world with the exception of economically developed or/and democratic countries) but it was not fatal.

Corruption in modern Russia is unique to Putin's regime - he used it (and still uses) as a tool to concentrate power - he puts in position of power only corrupt officials as a mean to get full loyalty - officials not loyal enough can be easily blackmailed, secret services have enough "kompromat" to put any government official into jail but are waiting for a signal from above. Corruption is the foundation for what in Russia called the "vertical of power", which essentially means that a person in a power structure have almost unlimited (limited only by Putin, but not by the law) power over people below.

Looks like this tool has spun out of control.
Never understood the need for these kinds of terminal file managers.

The current war did not start in a vacuum. Who backed the Maidan revolution in 2014? Who backed the regime change that just happened in Pakistan?

Mokva air defence radar only looks one way.

They made it look away from the coast using a drone, and then launched missiles when it turned away from the coast — this is how I imagine it happened.

If you're assuming that political situation will come anywhere near this known from communist block, then random nuclear plant failure is probably pretty low on the list of the issues they caused. Much more people died due to simply saying something against propaganda than as a result of Chernobyl.

I know that politicians suck, but if we do everything assuming that next Stalin and Lenin are inevitable, then even knfie production starts to look suspicious.
I understand and have sympathy with the cheering; but something rings false in my ears.

If the Russians are so weak and incompetent then why is nearly every European country doubling their military expenditures? And countries that have been neutral through the second world war now rushing into NATO?

I fear that the Russians will be pushed into a more "traditional" warfare with heavy air campaigns against anything remotely "dual-use" and the massive civil casualties that would follow.
How so, exactly.

I have been playing around with NewPipe SponsorBlock. It has its flaws but generally seems to work. I have not seen it mentioned but NewPipe SB also supports Soundcloud, Bandcamp and PeerTube instances. I think it includes FramaSoft's and CCC's PeerTube instances as presets. It is interesting how smoothly PeerTube seems to work.

I would not rely on NewPipe for downloading or playing YouTube videos, even when it is "fixed", but the app does much more than just those two things.
You always have to treat owners essentially equally but only a majority is typically required to make decisions. Meaning you can’t decide to give one owner distributions or dividend and not other owners using just a majority vote but you can take most action that guides the company.

Something can be a problem without it making sense to worry about it.

If Russia is using nukes, it becomes particularly absurd to continue to follow rules purported to appease them so they don't use nukes.

At best it's a transparently nonsensical excuse that conceals some other motivation.

When important people say they are against doing X, Y, or Z because of the risk of nuclear war, we can at least pretend they are serious as long as no nukes have been used yet.

But is there any other motivation they could have? There's one that seems very obvious to me, especially when I saw the reaction to Lindsey Graham's comments about regime change.
They mention it extends to most mammals later in the article.
