Free speech isn't absolute, even where many inanely view it as sacrosanct and absolute: in "The land of the free and the home of the brave." (The USA).

The classic example of forbidden speech, which I presume is still taught in law schools in the USA, is a man who falsely cries "Fire! Fire!! Fire!!!" in crowded theater thereby leading to people dying in a stampede for the exits.

Slander is another obvious example of forbidden speech.

What was the stupid idea? The stupid idea was that free speech should be absolute. It wasn't, isn't, and mustn't be absolute.

Want to criticize the government for raising taxes? Sure, go ahead. Want to falsely accuse your neighbor of being a murderer. Ummmmm. Not so much. Cyberbullying? Nope. That mustn't be allowed either.

What's that? Oh, I see. You have a concern. Let's hear it. "But, but, but... who is going to decide??? Surely, not a human being. After all, humans are fallible!!!" Attention all nerds. I repeat: attention all nerds, there's no computer algorithm nor 100% perfect solution here on Earth. In your Utopia on Mars which you will surely build in a few years, alongside your demi-god Elon Musk, that's where all of your unrealistic, untenable, and nonsensical fantasies will become manifest./s (Sarcasm).

Here on Earth we need to content ourselves with just laws and good judges.

Yes, also I have yet to find a node module for accurately predicting when people will die. Well, that's not entirely true. I found one but npm keeps failing to pull it.
That's the key one.

The tax code, today, in practice, already frowns very much on tax deference, and tries to inhibit it when possible. The AMT-schedule is purposely designed to pull tax forward, and precisely discourage strategies for tax deference e.g. to counter the abuses that would arise by using stock-based (or cult rocks) compensation to avoid income tax.

Property tax (which is a wealth tax) is another way to siphon off tax on unrealized wealth.

At first brush, it seems that any gains in automation will immediately be offset by duplication of administrative minutiae in all these new, smaller business entities.

"Our company used Twilio to receive and forward messages to our Slack in the past. Unfortunately, not all websites send messages to these phone numbers."

This right here is a deal-breaker. But this does remind me of a project I started at one time to make an Android app that reads SMS messages as they come in and then forwards them via Wire (or Telegram or Signal or MS Teams or Slack) allowing a "real" cell number to be used for SMS 2FA without the need to have that device in-hand at all times. The idea of sharing the SMS to Slack is another excellent idea; sharing it to a Signal/Wire/Telegram group for geo-distributed open source teams working on an idea or project would be good too.
Individuals that are psychologically well formed are totally armored against something as innocuous as verbal insults. Loosing Freedom of Speech for any reason, is, in practice, relinquishing to freedom of thought, hence a macrosocietal welcoming of totalitarianism.

Nothing in that section explains why this is in any way new or innovative. The only interesting claim is "performance", but looking at the code, I don't see anything other than a simple naive thread-pool implementation.

Highly dubious.

But okay. Suppose there were a cyber attack sufficient to trigger full scale nuclear war and which also didn't fully disable Russian's nuclear armament.

Do you really think that Russia would not launch nukes just because the US didn't publicly declare responsibility for the attack even though Russia knows the US is responsible? Because, to be clear, that was OP's assertion:

>> And to make my point clear, the issue isn't that they're conducting cyber attacks - that's a given. The issue is admitting it, in the open, to the news media. Everyone knows this is happening, but you don't say the quiet part out loud because it's an escalation against a nuclear power and gives them carte blanche to retaliate.
My guess is that those are actually the teams you're least likely to have a lot of fans of. LA, NYC, and Boston all already have massive and influential sports teams. The folks likely to want to watch/know about MLS are in the cities that don't - Kansas City, Austin, to a lesser extent Atlanta or Portland.

MLS is being fairly smart with its expansion and focusing on cities where they're not trying to pull fans away from the NY Yankees or the LA Lakers or whatever. Sure, they still have teams there as well, but the die-hard fans are going to be in the towns where folks are happy to have any team to be excited for.
Microsoft's BASIC evolved into Visual Basic and still exists as the .NET platform. Amazon still sells books. Netflix still operates their mail order DVD company. All three do a bunch of other things now, but those products allowed the companies to grow and expand.

I don't think expanding to other verticals is the same thing as a pivot, a pivot (imo) is when you entirely change your business strategy and product because the thing you were doing wasn't working. If you expand the definition of a pivot to any change in business strategy, then every company pivots all the time, and the term loses its meaning.
This is a good argument against something I don't think I wrote...

BTW, I meant to write "finding", not "funding". Too late to change now though.
Ask HN: Requesting Pricing Feedback for a Developer Tool
Hey HN,

I have been roasted by the HN community before on this topic. So I'm trying to learn from the mistakes I've made.

Boris Yeltsin wanted it to be a long-term goal of Russia to join NATO - a measure supported by the United States (source: https://www.nytimes.com/1991/12/21/world/soviet-disarray-yel... or https://archive.ph/31hkF)

And they started down that road earnestly in the 1990s. But it required extensive military and certain Democratic reforms Russia didn't want to commit to so they abandoned it. And that's totally fine: nobody is required to join NATO. Ultimately, since the early 90s, Russia helped form the CSTO which serves a similar function.

> recent Ukrainian pol's have done everything they can to marginalize the people and their Russian cultures in these regions.

The current Ukrainian president is a native Russian speaker and was quite popular in Russia. They have spent the last 8 years dealing with a Russian-instigated (and supported) civil war with the so-called LPR and DPR. Is the southern United States oppressed because the Union didn't allow it to secede? That certainly was the argument people used to justify segregation!

Anyway, the stated justification for this war is not NATO expansion but "denazification"
> good government is impossible.

At the scale of continental countries like US (or any BRIC country), it is. The decision makers are simply too far removed from the people who get to live with the policies.
Lots of America struggles under the weight of trying to pay for basic health care and dental (50% of Americans have medical debt[1]) and for many education is utterly out of reach. 11.4% of America lives in poverty (poverty being defined as "a lack of those goods and services which are commonly taken for granted by members of mainstream society"). It's disingenuous to look at the state of things and say that because we have cellphones and cavemen didn't we're all doing fine.

Totally agree. Plus, OpenMP is a standard that’s grown to take into account new hardware. It works in C, C++ and Fortran, which is a huge bonus. It’s stuck around for a long time for a reason - before it and MPI were standardised, every set of processor hardware has it’s own parallelism libraries and the programmer had to learn a new set.
I wonder what the tax treatment would be - I think company housing might not be taxed as income in this case (on prem, required to work there, etc), allowing them to pay much lower effective rates for labor by baking the cost of housing into a paycheck and pocketing the tax savings.
According to this[0], the absolute most generous package is the Netherlands, which offers 1/3 of your monthly salary for each year of employment. To receive 14 weeks of salary, you'd need to work at a company for 10 years. Coinbase was founded in 2012.

Other "European" countries have much worse severance packages. So what Coinbase offered seems to be better than even the best country in Europe.

Maybe they can't mandate it? There could be legal precedence that anything that can feel pain must be a living being and therefore to end it's life could be considered a criminal act.

I don’t believe the discussion has been around whether a fetus feels pain or not, but around whether the fetus takes priority over the woman it is in.
>technical applicants cannot do basic things like write a very simple linked list class, or explain to me how a hash map works

In my experience people know these things, they just don't realize that what they're doing can be described generically.

An example: If you're in an iOS interview and ask the person to describe a graph, they will get very angry and complain that this is useless knowledge and they don't need it to get the job. But if you ask the same person to describe an UIView hierarchy, they often have no problem doing so. So they _know_ what a graph is, they just didn't know it had that name.

With that in mind, my tests shows that generic algorithm questions suck and questions themed around actual features of the product are the best. If you word the question in a way that feels relevant and is familiar to developers, they will be more likely to know the answer even if deep down the solution is exactly the same as the generic ones.
Processing. It is oriented toward graphic applications, and having quickly a visual feedback was what hooked me on programming.

There's a good video on how that $1.90 is arbitrary and too low, and if you try to come up with a poverty line from first principles, you end up more in the $5-$12 range, where it doesn't paint such a great picture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo2gwS4VpHc#t=19m16s
Leagues, like the NBA and MLB, sell in-market broadcast rights to regional sports networks (an RSN), which gives the RSN exclusive rights to broadcast that game to in-market users. These RSNs typically only show their broadcast through cable packages, which is why local users would need to subscribe to cable packages that carry the RSN that holds the rights to their local team. However, some RSNs (at least in baseball) are starting to build direct to consumer streaming products. NESN, the RSN that carries the Boston Red Sox, has come out with NESN 360 which allows users to stream Red Sox games without a cable package at a price point of $30/month [1].

Leagues retain out-of-market broadcast rights and serve those to out of market users through their streaming platforms like MLB.tv and NBA League Pass.

A lot of the MLS teams are like this - Atlanta United, Austin FC, Sporting Kansas City, Toronto FC... It feels a bit clunky and "we wanna look more european" in my mind, but MLS is at least split between US and EU style for names.

There's literally "New York City Football Club" in the MLS.
So, a "high" for the whole day then?
Hi! Co-Founder of Diva Labs

We made a took to perform semantic search across RSS feeds, without needing a Diva account

We've been working a lot with information management (see website for more) and made this as a demo for our algorithm as well as a way to test out potential backend models. We found that the tool actually helps a lot with searching sets of information especially since RSS feeds are already curated datasets.

We are just beginning to test out more algorithms and would love to hear feedback on the model, rss scraping, and the rest of our site!

That's what I learned in high school history. Then, over the next decade or so, I learned that was indoctrination, and that in reality the US has a brutal history of resisting and toppling socialist regimes and installing capitalist ones. That's before even mentioning the horrible things we've done within our own borders, which rival even Nazi Germany. Did you know the Nazis used our Jim Crow laws as a model for their own?

I'm not saying this to minimize the examples you gave — just to show that things are not neatly binary like that.

Systems are made up of people. Look around the world and throughout history, and you'll see people abusing their power in all sorts of ways. There's no magic system that can prevent that. It's just us in here.

Then you can borrow against the Van Gogh for the rest of your life and likely never pay taxes. Then when you die, assuming your Van Gogh minus what you borrowed to live is less than the estate tax exemption (today it sits ~$12M or $24M if married) you can pass on the $12M/$24M to your kids federal tax free. Is that fair? IDK.

Probably the biggest thing for Nethack DRL will be when datasets of human games allow for imitation-learning initialization, rather than learning from tabula rasa (which even humans can't do). I asked them about that and apparently the existing telnet server datasets aren't usable but they have been working on getting usable game logs in the future: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/p88v9w/d_w... As sessions pile up fast from all the active players, I expect at some point they'll be able to dump 50 or 100k human games, including by expert players, and that'll lead to a huge boost for DRL perf.

And especially with those logged games, language models with retrieval will be useful: https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.05314#deepmind

It's possible @dang shut down whatever method they were using. I assume that submissions count more than upvotes in the algorithm, so this would be deceptive/unfair.

Most of these attacks are reflection attacks, meaning they are just exploring normal protocol behaviors. Meaning these machines, are not necessarily infected but are just innocent participants in the attack.
