I think private companies can deplatform whomever they choose and be as "woke" as they choose to be. The only obligation a corporation has is to its stockholders, like it or not. They aren't public squares, much to the dismay of many of the people who cry foul.

The ACLU can also take this path, but I think it's truly a shame. And there is no such thing as "free speech absolutism", not even in the US. The litmus test (to my understanding - I'm not even close to a lawyer) is the call to action, where it would be legal to say, "I wish someone would burn this place this place down" as opposed to "Let's burn this place down" during a protest might be illegal (I may be wrong in this example - ask a real lawyer).

I also don't believe in a repercussion free society where you can post anything on social media and face no societal backlash. We are social creatures and dictate socially acceptable behavior as a group, at large. If you take a stance that goes against the grain, right or wrong, there will be social repercussions. People have to understand that before they post, and I hope they do. Sometimes standing up for what you believe is worth it. Sometimes making a crappy joke really isn't =)
Three news articles about three isolated incidents, regardless of how horrific they are, are not sufficient to design good policy. In the US in 2012, "an estimated of 4.0% of state and federal prison inmates and 3.2% of jail inmates reported experiencing one or more incidents of sexual victimization by another inmate or facility staff since their admission to the facility or in the past twelve months".

Those three articles are a drop in the bucket.

Consider that there are N trans women convicts and you're trying to decide where to house them. The relevent number is not "how many women do they rape if you house them with other women"? It's "What is the relative difference in rape stasticics between housing them with men versus women?"

Obviously, any number of sexual assaults is unacceptable. But if housing trans women with men leads to thousands of rapes while housing them with women leads to only dozens, it's still a better policy. The only reason you could argue against that is if you consider a trans woman being a victim somehow more acceptable than a cis woman being victimized.

> It was probably meant to protect to right of the people to engage in a violent revolution when required, and enacted by people who had literally done so to create the United States.

If this was the actual interpretation being promulgated legally then there's all sorts of weird follow ups to it: i.e. any ruling or law which increases the level of security and protections of government institutions against some definition of an armed citizen militia would be against the spirit of the 2nd amendment because you're reducing the ability of the citizenry to engage in a successful violent insurrection.

This is a perfectly sensible precedent: if the Second Amendment is interpreted as an intent to allow armed revolution, then for some legal definition of a "just" revolution the arms of the citizenry must allow them to fight and win, and this could be reasonably interpreted therefore as "the government may implement no security measures which make it so safe it could not be overthrown".

> If you are a citizen of a free country with freedom of speech and voting rights, everything is your responsibility.

I vehemently disagree. America is a representative democracy. We vote for representatives in the legislature and other parts of government who are responsible for the "everything". All the regular people have to do is vote for whichever representatives they think will do a good job. There is no obligation that everybody be informed in all matters concerning how to run a country. Even congresspeople have specializations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Senate_c...

You neglect to mention the requests for:

> “The names and ages of the transgender or gender non-conformists inmates moved to Purdy and the convictions they are serving time for.”

> “The names of all transgendered incarcerated individuals who have requested, received or are scheduled for gender reassignment surgery.”

However, even with only the requests made by Andrea Kelly, the DOC indented to provide private information about individuals in order to allow the requester to derive answers to their questions, as it doesn't have the statistics requested. This is what ACLU sued to prevent. See:

> 4.20 The Attorney General, on behalf of DOC, has indicated in discussions with DRW that DOC does not create records in response to requests for aggregate numerical information. Instead, the Attorney General explained that DOC will identify as responsive and provide records from which requestors may derive answers to their own questions. DOC has not provided DRW a list of what records have been identified by DOC as responsive to the requests. Based on DRW’s knowledge of DOC records, such records will likely include highly sensitive information about transgender, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and/or intersex inmates and former inmates.

The ACLU never asked the court to stop the government from responding with statistics, but the government doesn't have the statistics requested.
> They are on the attack against women’s sex-based rights.

One thing you'll find is a lot of people find this sentence very strange. Replace "sex-based rights" with "race-based rights" or any other trait passed on at birth and you'll find the ACLU's actions to be very consistent.

People claimed the ACLU was anti-white decades ago. I guess now that that argument isn't working, misogyny is the new claim.
I'm not sure if it's the dislike button being gone or just more and more brain-dead people passively consuming content. A lot of the videos is other re-hashed online content, but hasn't it been this trajectory for years now though?

It seems like humanity is going mass-illiterate and needs everything in video-format. How video has displaced text is horrific to me. Instead of reading the official docs people browse "How to install..." videos, that are mostly poor and just someone babbling non-sense.

I would never for the life of me look up tech info, error messages etc on Youtube in the first place. But since people look up everything apparently, other people cater to it. A click is a click is a click.

Slightly off-topic maybe: I've blocked most of the interface of Youtube via ublock origin long ago. Youtube's homepage is only a search-bar for me. When looking at videos I see no suggestions, I use the "Enhancer for Youtube" Add-on to disable auto-play, disable comments and auto-expand video descriptions, use "Cookie Auto Delete" Add-on to always clear my cookies when I leave the site and am never logged into the site in the first place.

In case someone doesn't know, you can follow youtube-channels via rss, it's https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=

You can find the channel ID by going to a video and then clicking on the channel, channel ID is in the URL. I think it's far superior than subscribing any normal way. Let saving links be handled by the rss reader of your choice.

Rubbish. Bob from the car factory can take a sabbatical without the free world sliding into tyranny. In fact, very little that I have done in my life - if anything at all - has had any appreciable effect on free society.

> If you're trying to store the secret's hash, isn't something like bcrypt/scrypt preferred over raw sha256 these days?

Not for this type of use case. If a secret is long and generated from a cryptographically secure source (eg /dev/urandom), then any cryptographic hash function is fine as brute forcing the secret itself is not feasible. A single pass of sha256 is fine and presumably you’d be doing many of these operations each second in a high throughput application.

“Slow” hash functions like bcrypt or scrypt are for user provided secrets that might not have a large amount of entropy. It’s fine for something like user authentication but would be way too slow and pointless for API keys.
That’s really not an excuse. Am good manager knows to give a layoff speech without creating legal liability.

The liability comes in how they select who they lay off and the actions taken prior to lay off.

This is simply laziness.

English seems to go for vowel changes for these types of phrases (click-clack, tick-tock, clip-clop, pitter-patter). Perhaps this is because English has more vowel sounds to work with?

My hypothesis about coinbase and companies like them is that their hiring process is bad. Like they arent hiring the talent they think they are, and the higher ups have no clue what theyre doing when hiring talent. Leetcode interviews bring memorizers and career strivers in the door, not innovators. Facebook is famous for not creating any new products, and copying literally everything. Theyre also famous for a SWE interview process that emphasizes literal memorization of algorithms. Ofcourse tightening monetary policy has had a huge effect, but where are the innovative products from coinbase? What are they doing with all those people?

I argue that a company like Amazon, that actually focusses on behavioral questions brings in far better job candidates.

We don't have a democracy, but a Constitutionally restricted Republic, with democratically elected representatives who have sworn an oath to defend individual rights.

Having said that, "hate speech" is nothing. Individual has freedom to communicate truth, which makes the individual press. What isn't free speech is, for example, shouting "FIRE" in a theater when there isn't one. In other words, what is commonly referred to as "press" are criminal lying terrorists, and the individual who speaks the truth is press.

The one thing our founding fathers were certain of, is that we'd not be a "democracy", or tyranny of largest group which is almost never a majority.

The liars at some point swapped "democracy" for "freedom", and "liberty", hoping people would forget the point of the United States, and the Supreme Law of the Land. Democracy is nothing but communism in waiting, which end is famine and genocide.

If only some of the oath takers were oath keepers, we could have liberty and justice.
I say we never truly got out of the 2008 financial crisis.
This is going to have a domino effect on all the blockchain startups, I think. You could argue all startups are going to struggle raising, but this will harm the entire crypto sector more. IMO, COIN was supposed to be proof that crypto can be a long term success, and this doesn't bode well for future exits.
Canada MP regrets calling into debate from toilet
i learned about him a few days ago. it's logical to me that "Roel Van de Paar" is not the name of a real person and the person shown in the clip on each video (granted, i only watched two, but i think it's the same for every single one) is either deep faked or just a random that got paid $21.50 to read a script on camera.

then i found this https://github.com/roelvdp in my searching and it kind of made things a little bit more interesting. i didn't look at a side-by-side of the man in the video and the man in the photo here, but from memory they looked like they could be similar enough to be the same person with somewhat of an age gap between time's taken. they also look different enough to be different people. that's not what's weird, though. most of his contributions are for private repos and a lot of his "repositories" are forks from projects involved with machine/deep learning, AI, databases, and all sorts of stuff that someone smarter than me would know what it does or is used for, but they go back 2014ish.

i didn't spend more than a few minutes "investigating" and sure didn't touch any of his videos with my own IP/logged in user, because my YT recommendations are screwed up enough. either way, i think the github account is probably whoever is behind this, well, pretty amazing feat, at this point. i hate it, but you just can't deny that it's actually going on and has been for a LONG time. that's respectable in a sense. i did the math for a 10 hour period in which i counted roughly 240 new videos and it equated to an upload every 2 minutes. impressive, right? well, if this were true that would mean only 262800 videos a year and he has uploaded 1 million since ~March 2021, based on some search results i found where "people" were celebrating his 1M mark. heh.

It comes from Locke, actually, and the third right enumerated was explicitly "property". But this is strawmanning anyway. I'm not saying the government has the right to seize property (that's covered quite explicitly under the fourth amendment). I'm saying that there is no right to operate a public business without regulation.

And sometimes regulation says "you can't police what your customers say with your product". Which is why I have a hard time taking some people seriously on this argument, which is so precisely analogous to the Twitter situation where they stand on the other side.

(FWIW: I think Masterpiece v. Colorado was absolutely correctly decided. Twitter doesn't have to put anything on their cakes that they don't want to say.)

It's not impossible to afford a house in the Bay Area on just cash compensation, if you're a dual-finance/tech/legal/medical couple and both partners have risen to mid-levels in their organization. L6/E6 cash compensation is about $225K, two of them is $450K, figure 50% out for taxes/401k/benefits and you're taking home about $225K/year or about $18K/month. PITI for a $2.5M home (20% down) is about $14K, so you've got $4K/month to spend on everything else. That's just barely enough - it's like someone making $48K/year but having no housing expenses, which is tight but lots of people do it.
Wow. I feel like this is the sort of thing that could precipitate a run.

I have a Yahoo Japan account and find this incredibly frustrating. Obviously they've measured it to be better on average, but if you already have a password manager, it's just an extra hurdle and waste of time when logging in.

This effectively overrides all of the improvements in password managers, especially OS-level ones, in recent years. On iOS, for example, the system suggests a strong password on account creation and then autofills very quickly and easily both on the web and in apps, so it's secure and you never have to think about it. But now with this change, you don't even have that option and you always have to wait for the email, open your email, click the link to go back to the app/site, and then go back and delete the email.
> All the banks had tested this with LTCM

Yeah I was just remembering this tonight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Capital_Management

The argument there was that LTCM was "too big to fail". Really they probably weren't, but they had 1.25T derivative positions off-book apparently.

Love or hate Paul Krugman, he argued that TARP could have been better put to use as a social safety net. The banks who took the risky investments can burn to the ground, but the citizens could be just fine.
