This will be remembered as a historic battle for the Twitter Fortress between the Order of Control and the Order of Freedom. The fortress seems small, but its strategic location allows to steer speech in the kingdom. The King himself, who is a high ranked official in the Order of Control, has been taking a neutral position on public, but the knights of the Freedom look very determined this time and the King may have to unleash his royal army. Just like in the medieval ages, the King doesn't realise that it's his own people, the silent majority, who's fighting him: they've grown up and no longer need his "royal" permissions for anything.

This does not just work for companies: The University of Cambridge (England) asks for candidate-written code as part of the application package for its Master's program in advanced computing (MPhil).
The reason it's a ludicrous claim is that while there's overlapping skill sets, the idea that you can take an AI/ML engineer working on perception or prediction or planning problems and trivially apply them to textual content filtering is laughable. They could certainly pivot across, but it would take them a good chunk of time to get up to speed, you'd be better off hiring an engineer more familiar with that particular space.

The fact that they specified it being an AI Tesla engineer is super cringe Tesla-bro stuff and the fact that the commenter would say something like that hurts their credibility in making the other fairly extreme claims.
> Does the average Indian get more claim over yogic techniques than those of other nationalities who actually practice them?

I believe so yes. Not sure what you mean by “actually” practice but I assure you many many people in india practice it.

> He’s the one whose techniques are (allegedly) being plagiarised, it’s abundantly clear to anyone who’s not busy trying to avoid the central point and instead engaging in ad hominem.

I don’t think I ever mentioned plagiarism, you probably have me confused with someone else.

> Why do they care more than Patanjali? Why does being Indian matter when yoga is implicitly non-national? Nationalism, a disease which India currently appears riddled with, is a specious line of reasoning.

The fact that you’re even asking this question tells me more about your unchecked privilege than anything else. And re nationalism: no thanks we don’t need outsiders telling us what we should be thinking, we had 2 centuries of that, don’t care for it much.

Sure but I would like to think the debates occurred and happened people argued back and forth and ultimately convinced the other side.

But what we have now is basically “you are wrong you have no say”

When you shut people out like that and they feel like they are not being heard you end up more divided and against each other. Which is basically what’s happening now in many topics.

Some people sent death threats to Fauci over the lab leak hypothesis as they blamed him for funding some research at the Wuhan lab. Real, taxpayer, money had to be spent on his security detail.

Once again - people who claimed that the lab leak hypothesis was 100% verifiably true were in the wrong, people who talked about it as one of the theories were unnafected.
Yes. Something that seems to be lost in the debate is _why should social media be allowed to exist at all?_

Social media is a tool that allows anyone to say anything, regardless of its basis in fact, and then amplify that statement to a level that is also unrelated to whether it is true (or nice, forgiving, generous).

A nasty or false statement actually gets amplified _more_ because algorithms optimise for engagement.

There’s then this weird argument of “we can’t act like a publisher because its logistically impossible to police the high volume of tweets.” Well, yes, I agree, it is logistically impossible. But the correct conclusion is not “therefore give up policing” but rather “don’t allow high volume broadcast of tweets.” That is, don’t allow this form of social media to exist.

This anything goes culture has not had great benefits for society, but has most certainly created great harm. The weaponisation of social media by enemy states is an obvious example. Making social more local, that is only your followers can see only your original content is a simple fix that probably works. It just makes less money.
I think it's takes about the same effort when you're trying to read not just skim (which is probably what you mostly do when coding) ...

I don't see the difference between "land value tax" and "Georgist land tax". Surely they both exclude the value of improvements, and the tax that includes them is called "property tax"?
Tell HN: DuckDuckGo and Bing removed tass.com from their search results
Around a month ago DDG announced they would be "down ranking" Russian disinformation (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30627892&p=3).

This sounds like it should just be lower in the search results, however that is not the case.

Searching for "tass bucha" has no results from tass.com. In fact "site:tass.com bucha" gives zero results.

Meanwhile Google has no issues displaying these results.

Tass is not even banned on an EU level like RT and Sputnik are.

Turns out it is not possible to search for the other sides story on DDG and Bing. Google wins again..

> in my limited experience in the UK

I think you need to spend a bit more time in the UK !

Take Hyde Park Corner for example. A bit of an extreme example as it is a super-busy roundabout. I will grant you that its not one where you will make smooth progress during peak rush-hour (outside of peak it works perfectly though).

There are also other good (and less extreme) examples along the secondary routes out of Heathrow (i.e. along Bath Road and Great West Road).

There's no way in hell you could replace any of the above with a US-style multi-way stop and achieve the same throughput of traffic.

Roundabouts work so well because you can have that magical combination of vehicles already established on the roundabout and also adding new vehicles all the time.

> Do human cultures just need kings and princes?

It's an interesting question, and I like how you frame it as a duke's commissioning.

The root of it I think is that we're deeply social creatures, so much so that we anthropomorphize inanimate things and construct deities with suspiciously human personalities. It's our way to process the complexity of life and to retain a sense that there is a pattern to the randomness.

By personalizing everything we don't have to know anything about a subject to engage with it, we only need to know the personality in question, or even just general human motivations. In that way its super accessible. It's only with education that we can engage in the merits of ideas themselves. Else we're destined to get caught up in the cult of celebrity.

Disappointed that the GitHub security log doesn’t show access for personal accounts. Would be rather nice if they temporarily made that available for a short period of time so we can see if any of our repositories have been cloned/downloaded.
I’m sorry you had such bad experience but you were working with the wrong people (feels like toxic even). PR reviews work best in environment where trust is key, and deciding together (emphasis on together) best approach to reach a goal is the main drive. In the end PRs should make you and the team stronger, as the knowledge is shared collectively.

IMO every developer should be an admin of the repo, but more importantly it’s not a gate, it’s a process that benefits communication. All the team can read and learn from small addings to the code base.

PR reviews should not equate to 100 comments either, complex discussions can (should imo) be worked out in a call discussing (dialog) best approach. Think of white boarding a problem with a fellow engineer friend.

Ofc, teams differ and some teams work better with other processes and other tools.
> Sometimes junior, or less skilled people, have something valuable to say. Especially if the code could be simpler.

Yeah and sometimes they are naive, dogmatic and overconfident, and on a crusade to change all the things! because they have read some blog post by uncle bob, and this tool is putting them in absolute power every time they do a review.

> In a stalemate, the PR could be sent to a third party. I've suggested this many times to avoid unnecessary conflict.

Ok and who might this lucky scapegoat be? I have a feeling it's not the manager for some reason..

> I don't think it is PRs that are the issue, rather your working environment.

The issue, which I'm trying to illustrate, is that the tool makes the working environment worse by introducing (hostile) dynamics between people that don't exist, which leads you into situations that you don't have resolutions for, situations that should not occur.

Using a tool that allows you to block other people's work causes unnecessary conflict in a team where people are supposed to be working together.

Edit: blocking contributions is a normal and natural thing in an open source workflow, and it is not normal and natural in a team inside a company.
> The interviewee is the code reviewer before it gets run in production.

Yeah I've also been using this approach for Fullstack Devd: A small page with a bit of CRUD + a small ticket description of what the page is supposed to do.

The code contains various bugs or questionable implementations, the interviewee is supposed to analyze the code and to either fix the issues right away or to write comments.

Nobody is expected to get everything right within the time slot, but I've found it to be a great test on how a candidate might perform in their day to day work.

The offer is technically hostile because it was unsolicited, and the offer was made at the same time he indicated he wanted to buy-out the company (usually there's a gap).

A more typical way of doing this would be to make a proposal directly to the board first. The fact that Elon did it in public means he's trying to pressure the board (via the shareholders) into taking an action they wouldn't otherwise want to take which makes it hostile.
Rather it would kill it completely, because of the energies used so far leading to climate warming.

Foolish War
I have known Ukranians and Russians, and I feel personal destruction in the violence that has been done.

Ya I have a friend who's gf berates him for that and inane things like equations of not being able to get to sleep on time to simply not caring enough about it.. It's super distasteful and we've argued about it.

I think that for sure you can play too many video games, but if that's what you do that's what you do. But a person who isn't empathetic ain't gunna get it. Right now I'd personally prefer not to play as much wow, but only because I'd rather switch to something outdoors, I'd still be just allocating time to something intrinsically stimulation because programming is only sometimes that.
To quote you more:

> I’m talking about duos and trios just riding in sync having a conversation.

> This happens way too frequently in some areas of where I cycle. Nobody calls them out on it either, except honking drivers.

This post sure sounds like you think they already aren't following the rules by hanging out side to side, having a conversation for an extended period of time.

If that's not what you meant, that you're only talking about when someone tries to pass, then okay I guess we're not in disagreement here.

And let's not forget that you also said:

> Cyclists going side-by-side in a single-lane (per-direction) is violating the rules.

Which is only true on certain shapes of road, and the core of the rule is staying out of lanes when possible, even when they're already single-file. So I think any misunderstanding on my part is understandable and not purely my fault.
If correlation is not causation, what is?
Just to address this from a non US standpoint. While I'm sympathetic toward both the desire to preserve the character and community of a neighbourhood and your antipathy towards rentiers - there absolutely is a housing crisis across Europe (and presumably in the US).

Part of the reason is the lack of social housing provision, with most EU governments reducing or all together abandoning their post war commitments to low cost housing.

Another reason is that, even in this era of remote work, the enormous majority of high paying jobs do require living in a large population centre.

Perhaps the largest reason is the financialisation of housing as an asset class by hedge and other vulture funds. Italy alone seems to have kept the housing crisis / shortage localised to wealthy cities - and it is the only wealthy EU country to have done so. Germany, Ireland, France etc, all have rents and housing costs far higher than their median citizens capacity to comfortably pay, even in very remote and economically depressed areas.

Italy by contrast charges high taxes on 2nd and 3rd properties, effectively blocking the aggregation of empty / underused housing stock. Which has resulted in rural areas and less populous cities being reasonably priced to live in. This is not the case anywhere else in Western Europe.
Aha, I think I can see how that would be confusing. My interpretation was that it had a small chance of making a bad event worse - but I assumed a regular hit would usually be lethal anyway, and you cant kill some one more dead, so whatever probability of deflection they got out of it was pretty 'free'. I think he was going into extra detail on how the weapon performed to dispel rumours, and perhaps inadvertently created one (now some people are convinced this armor is somehow out there to line a fat cats pocket!

Okay.. this comment finally got me to login and chime-in on this topic.
> And I don’t care how rare it is. It’s not rare enough. It’s not good if it happens once. “It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.” And again, I agree that sometimes people just said something shitty or at least that got interpreted shittily, but I have never seen something even once where it didn’t feel like a horridly disproportionate response. Not even once.

Completely agree... No arguments with this ..

And as always there is a but.. (Note: following is not a personal or specific counter-argument to this comment). The general calling it "cancel-culture" or "leftist political correctness forcing it's way (Aka fascist-leftist" narrative misses the point as much as the common "it's rare, but these people deserve it. They're horrible people" narrative.

The way i look at it "freedom to innovate, and have a system that sets up a market that encourages innovation" has brought us this current social media centered around outrage, fear, anger and rage centered way of connecting to people. Those employers are "free-to-fire" as much as each person in the mob that responds with rage is free to express their opinion and the one person who uncensoredly tweeted something is free to make mistakes.
So what's the solution, I don't know anything specific outside of going all mystic/mythic/wishful saying we should all practice empathy better, we should find better ways of connecting to each other and may be (social networking and recommendation) algorithms that can help deeper connections than shallow ones.

To be honest, there's a skeptical(and pessimistic and fearful) side of me that thinks that's not gonna happen and we'll end up in a divergent world(https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2022/02/23/divergentism/).

The other solution proposed is (completely free speech with pure anonymity based protection from society based outlash) also suffers from the problems like minority voices getting drowned out. Majority opinions and stereotypes being elevated to "The capital "T" Truth"(https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/224865-the-capital-t-truth-...) rather than being viewed in perspective..

> “It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.”
This is a noble sentiment, but I do wonder how much this is true in what we have managed to implement and wonder if we would ever be able to implement something like this without going to "minority report" level extreme censoring and monitoring. (https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=925249... ) or with some humour(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXPOw2unxy0).
> existing property owners are incentivized to support rather than fight zoning updates that allow more development

Regular people who own some land are not going to have the capital or skillset to tear down their house and build a highrise on the plot of land.

So what a LVT does, is to force individual landowners to sell land off to giant developer corporations who do have the resources to make it happen.

Consolidation of all ownership onto a few large players is not a good thing for society.
