Abortion has never been advertised as “cool”, anywhere in the world, so I don’t know why that’s where your head goes. Women aren’t idiots - they are, usually, informed about their options, a heck of a lot more than the men fucking them are.

People have always forgotten to take any pill they have to take regularly. Plan B gives people an option they didn’t have before when that happens. There’s no evidence there that Plan B causes people to take the pill less regularly.

Not sure how these orgs do it but the system design book by Alex Xu uses timestamp + dataCenterID + machineId + sequence number that is reset every millisecond. This integer is then converted to base62.
Except you're now calling functions across the network. And no more complete tracebacks. And need to deploy 10 things at the same time or everything falls apart.

Yes, you get the benefits, but also all the drawbacks. Those drawbacks might make sense for extremely large teams. I want to cry every time I see a 20 engineers teams wasting company's money with this.
Yes, this is something that I plan to implement in the future.
I also plan to implement "uniform" values that you can change with sliders; adding user-provided textures; time-based variables...

Did you expect more free time? Judging by the parents I know, 2 hours of free time for yourself every day is not bad.
Actual cryptocurrency does exist and has very little to do with these modern scams (ie, stablecoins, nfts, or anything else centrally controlled). It hasn't been possible to grow a cryptocurrency up from the vulnerable grassroots state since massive public attention and "investors" got involved ~2015. Pretty much every "crypto" project after that date has just been a normal financial scam dressed up in "crypto" clothing.

And these "news" companies, and all the "investors" can't tell the difference, which is the point, I guess. I really hope this is the end of people "investing" in currencies but I doubt it. So the ignorant "investor" opinion that drove speculation up now drives it down... but it has zero impact on me actually using the bitcoin blockchain to pay for things.
You’re leaving out that Thomas also said that some of those and other implied rights might be found in the privileges and immunities clause. Thomas doesn’t deny that there are unenumerated rights that were recognized at the time of the founding.

Also, I’d be curious to know if any other advanced democracy has a doctrine similar to Griswold. It’s Constitutionally infirm, and if they don’t need it, why do we?
Still sounds strange to me though I can understand your point. “One of our competitors” to me sounds the same as “one of our users”, and different from “one of our maintainers” when referring to someone who is not a maintainer of GitHub.

It’s sounds more (to me) like calling someone else’s kids one of your children because they are visiting your house.

Anyway, I can only imagine how uninteresting this conversation must be to anyone else :)
Can you provide some more detail on this issue? That sounds… not good.
I started using reddit in 2009 and can agree that the quality was always lacking. The posts that made it to the top were the ones that were the lowest effort to consume which quickly get repetitive and boring.

The comments were often equally low effort with memes and weak jokes rising to the top. This was especially infuriating in places like /r/askreddit where the only chance of seeing replies that weren't clear fabrications or jokes was to specifically ask for serious replies.

There were really only 2 ways for a subreddit to be good. It either had to be small and relatively close-knit or it had to have rules against low effort content and solid moderation enforcing those rules. But since communities will naturally grow as people find them and because people hate when moderators remove their posts, Reddit ended up exactly where it was destined to.
It’s common to get hung up on a point like that. I think the best way to get past it is have someone explain the same thing in a different way that might click easier.

What’s described here is basically mindfulness meditation. I an not the mystical type at all and this was a great entry point for me:

> You can’t post any pro Israel news on /r/politics.

Seems sensible to me when anti-Israel news is pretty much banned everywhere else.
Don't forget the other part - being non-anonymous online makes it easy for stalkers and other bad actors to take it to the extreme. We need anonymity for lots of reasons.
Name detection is hard once you move beyond top names in a particular set of countries.

And it's precisely the names that are most identifiable that are hardest to detect.

Those subreddits are the only ones doing anything. Reddit is driven by user participation, including users objecting to and reporting behavior.

Like how r/tumblrinaction got banned recently, the members of the sub didn't report themselves for racism and transphobia.

No, a bridge needs to go over the road that is used by trucks, even if the bridge is bicycles-only
Disagree. It richly rewards and strongly encourages behaviors we consider asocial and destructive.

Let's take Natchez, Mississippi. In 1850, half of America's millionaires lived there. It was the wealthiest city in the country because we richly rewarded and encouraged human enslavement.

The brightest minds had very lucrative careers in slave economics and slave labor studies and there was lots of focus on optimizing human enslavement for maximum profit.

It was the silicon valley of the 19th century and you'd have a bright and successful career if you pursued working in the slavery industry. Slave technology, slave accounting, slave management - you don't even need to directly interact, you can just make the tools.

In fact speaking of silicon valley let's talk about the first rush of San Francisco. It wasn't gold, it was whale oil in the 1830s-1850s. San Francisco was the perhaps the largest whaling port in the world as people were highly encouraged through aggressive economic incentives to go and wipe out every species of whale off the planet. And they were well on their way to success when cheaper substitutes, by pure chance, became available.

This is the problem. There's nothing "natural" about these things - they are human created systems that we have constantly redefined and had to because the base driving force is one of negligent exploitation and extraction.

We have other systems, driven by hate and violence for example, such as racism and war. We don't make peace with richly rewarding and encouraging them. We instead seek to minimize these human tendencies. We don't look kindly on war profiteers or race-baiting crowd agitators.

These things existing are as inevitable as any other human behavior, there's an angel and devil inside all of us, what we choose to reward and structure things around is a choice we can make.

We can do better than total war, we can do better than Jim Crow, and we can do better than cooking the planet with capitalism. We have to. There's no choice.
The axonometric diagrams are only intended to be used as a location guide. They are part of larger Station Layout documents which have very detailed 2D plans for every part of the station. The axonometric diagrams therefore provide the overall view, including (in the original document) reference numbers for the individual drawings, like a sort of contents page.

King's Cross St. Pancras, for example, has 20+ pages of detailed 2D plans, covering the entrances, ticket halls, platforms, escalator areas, vent shafts and so on.
By what measure is someone's name private?
One thing missing in this otherwise awesome discussion among peers is that except for the interregnum for Covid lockdowns, iPhone users are able to walk into Apple stores and get support pretty much on demand and free for any Apple software product. But people (including my mother!) just assume that includes all software on their phone, and sometimes people think it's for hardware as well.

The expectation is that the genius bar resources are built into the purchase of Apple products, which makes it harder to support 3rd party browsers or any other 3rd party products that just "stopped working" or "won't let me log into my bank account" -- again both things that happened with my mother 3000 miles away and I couldn't fix long distance, but the genius bar did for free when she walked in.

So it's a tough choice on that - better to have higher prices and better service, or options that nobody fixes because there is less of a sense of accountability?
> being able to vote only if you pay taxes

You legitimately don't see any problem with this?

There's a huge swath of people who are unemployed, disabled, or otherwise unable to work. There's people with criminal records who effectively are barred from most jobs. There's entire towns where the factory that employed most of the people went out of business and now everyone is unemployed, unless they move- which they can't because their homes are now worthless and they have mortgages.

You're talking about taking away the voting rights of all of those people because they're too poor for you. Bad luck on their part, not being born to privilege.

And of course you don't even see where this goes next. Once you start to take away the voting rights of such people, they have no ability to fight as you keep going, as you take more away from them. They have no votes, no voice, no ability to stop those with power.

I cannot imagine a more sociopathic, heartless idea than the one you've just proposed.
Every plant protein source is a 'complete protein'; the issue is not whether they have all essential amino acids (they do), but in what amount.

And as it turns out, isocaloric (compared to meat) plant based protein sources offer enough protein for basically everybody.
I have ... interesting ... friends. I'll bet I know scarier people IRL, than I'll find online.

Also, what impressed me about the Disqus incident, was how fast it came back with that list.

In the US, at least, true anonymity takes a lot of work. For example, if you own a house, people can use tax records to find out who you are, unless you do what rich people do, and use shell companies. I also own a couple of [small] companies. I maintain a UPS box, because they get a lot of junk mail (and some business junk mail comes to my home address, anyway).

That's just one of hundreds of ways we can be found. Many predate teh Internets Tubes. My mailbox gets stuffed with junk mail. Some of it is quite specific. They use these mechanisms, and have been, for decades. I have known folks in the collections industry. They can find people surprisingly easily. There was one guy who used to be a skip tracer, and he wrote a book called How to Disappear[0]. It's a fairly sobering read (and probably quaintly anachronistic, these days).

The Unabomber actually did it correctly. He only got nailed, once he posted something publicly.

Wait... A bridge built for bicycles only to go over still needs cars and lorries and other large things going under it.

A bridge built for bicycles only to go under is nice, and means not even having to deal with a slope. (But might be more costly than a bicycle tunnel.)
As feedback - lots of incomplete sentences. I had to stop reading it was driving me nuts
I'd expect FB to have more of a pro-life contingent than say, Twitter, but still small to my perspective. (I live in a purple district in a purple state, so it's not uncommon for half and half workplaces to exist).

I'd also expect that the majority of FB's right-leaning employees are of a SV libertarianish bent, and most of them are pro-choice or apathetic.

FB strikes me as a company with a very mercenary, self-interested workforce more than a partisan one.
Looking through that collection of quotes, Ithink it would be more accurate to say "Science thinks development begins at fertilization." Which is true! Life is a polysemous concept - by many valid definitions the gametes are alive prior to fertilization. Whether the zygote represents an individual human life is a question that "Science" definitely does not hold a monolithic opinion on.

From 20 years working in a field proximal to developmental biology, my impression is that most individual scientists in relevant fields have a gradualist understanding of the emergence of individual life, involving key milestones such as implantation, gastrulation, neurulation, subsequent CNS development and "viability" (ability of the fetus to live independently of the mother's body).

Posting cryptoasset focused articles on HN is such a weird thing. Do you expect level headed unbiased commentary or are you trying to reaffirm some internally held biases? HN's response is not variable with regards to crypto, it's predictable, but in a world where you can't buy anything with karma, what is the point? Be more interesting than that.

I think for many of them they direct themselves to the subject passionately because it is easy to advicate for an unborn person.

The unborn don't have flaws that make their lives unworthy of advocacy- unlike the unhoused, migrants, felons, etc. whose deaths at the hands of others so-called "pro-life" advocates are silent about.

Notably, I've also heard those who are fervently anti-abortion respond to the issue of women dying from abortion with almost a sense of glee- as though women who die for lack of proper safe options deserved to lose their life.
These are the golden days, so relish them. The measures you take of not being so casual with what you share are basic information hygiene that everyone should be doing already. There’s already ‘social cooling’ happening, but hard to say if a China style credit system would hit the West soon. But if it does, there are plenty of tools to go dark and circumvent that. Check out Privacy Guides and pick a few tools you can use.
Do you have sources for claiming animals are the most efficient source of those micronutrients? Where do those animals get those micronutrients from? Why do they still need to be injected with supplements like vitamin B12? Why do you discount use of pasture for rewilding?
There always having been elements of racism and violent misogyny doesn't preclude there being either a quantitative or qualitative shift in how much Reddit as a whole is steered by such ideas.

Back in 2010 there would be discussions about places like /r/jailbait, about the tradeoffs between free speech and public safety etc. Now there are subreddits openly sharing child pornography with links to the social media accounts of the children and their families, and Reddit auto responds that these things don't violate their usage policies when reported.
Interesting that many people expect that crypto which was hailed as independent of any government now needs to be bailed out by the government.

Why would banks even care about crypto except for transaction fees they can collect?
> Given the dangerous nature of social media, I would also be in favor of a minimum age of, say, 18.

If I personally had not had access to the internet/social media before 18, my life would be in a much _much_ worse place.

I don't disagree that we need to rethink how interacting with the internet is handled, but I don't think that's the way.

> You think the average Glenn Beck viewer is going to sit still while you "show" this, or "show" anything, and then change their views based on what you have "shown"?

From a rationalist point of view, this observation can seem mere provocation rather than an objective assertion.

From first-hand experience, at least one “Glenn beck viewer” refused to meet rational argument even halfway.

I analyzed one of Tucker Carlson’s assertions step by step, coming to an obviously absurd conclusion. My interlocutor responded that she didn’t appreciate my using “tricks” when I talked with her.

To the irrational, rationality is a repertoire of tricks.
The Google results are almost entirely from places that I control, directly or indirectly. I can delete the repos, retract my papers, ask moderators to remove my comments. For more serious cases there are courts and laws.

There's no reason why language models should be immune from what is standard expected behavior in society.

I'm not raging against the sea, I'm raging against a bulldozer operator who has plugged their ears.
More fancy words on somebody's CVs?

I worked at a similarly large and almost as popular SF based company and I can assure you every innovation there was 100% motivated by somebody's desie to put.it in their CV. Nothing of what was made there made any sense for the business, it was just people playing with toys. And worst part was people introducing this stuff (such as the one pushing for Lerna and an "UI" monorepo would leave the company after 1 year leaving a mountain of tech debt behind. But hey, they had Lerna in their CV now.
The problem with this is that reality is cruel. People who don't understand this are sacrificing long-term happiness for short-term happiness.

My friend group from college is split nearly 50/50 of people who "made it" and people who didn't. One half has jobs, girlfriends, cars, etc. The other half lives with their parents working part time, smoking weed, and playing video games. The second half seems a lot happier than the first, to be honest. However if (God forbid) were they ever to get into an accident, or have some medical problem, or need to do major repairs on their houses, or finally find someone they want to settle down with - there's no money to pay for that. And then they'll probably not seem as happy. Recently I asked a few people if they would be interested in a summer vacation to Europe, and the most common response was "I wish I could go but I can't afford that." Not very fun.

People use to walk a lot more and do a lot more menial labor. It probably wasn't very "desirable". Now I drive everywhere and 99% of what I buy is made with machines. That's a lot more fun... Until the global warming hits. There is no free lunch.

This is not to say we can't try and improve things. But for the foreseeable future life won't always be rosy.
Given that the early Ancient Greeks were not Jews or Christians, and that most medieval theology heavily rehashes Plato and Epictetus, I'm not sure why anyone would suggest the Bible, rather than classical Greek thought, is the foundation of the West's beliefs.

Furthermore, even if there are no serious defenses of moral realism without a mystical metaphysics, that doesn't entail anything. These values were around in humanity long before monotheism and its predecessors.
Thanks for the explanation. Yeah, that is an interesting feature. Sounds like you'll have to do a lot of reading documentations and testing other packages yourself then. A typing system that allows defining accepted, rejected and 'other' data types for functions (and a compiler flag for either warning about the latter or not) would be interesting.

But the original critique also mentioned several correctness issues in the core language itself, so the issue does seem to go deeper.
But it looks like it's in all sorts of places - how do you think the language model ended up thinking that was a good autocomplete?

There appears to be a name on a YouTube channel too that doesn't even need any additional steps (ie the jumping into repos and then licence files you mention above)

Putting that aside, why is this such a concern? it's just a label. It would be another thing if you had something more meaningful being revealed (eg current physical address) but username / real name alone is generally not that big a deal and it's plausibly deniable (ie there could be plenty of other username / real name pairings that are valid)

Anyway, this comes across rather like the Streisand Effect
Yep, author doesn't even mention YouTube. I have found more art and artists via YouTube than I have from Disney.

He talks about the "long tail" but then turns around and talks about mainstream (ha ha) companies like Netflix, talks about "Hollywood", etc. The long tail is not going to come from corporate America, and never was.
I've wondered if things might be compartmentalized enough in certain BigCorps that developers don't realize they are working on classified (or funded as dual-use) projects.

For AI-in-the-loop, similarly for a long time I have framed that as an extension of heuristic-based-control-system development. I suppose implicitly that puts some or all of the onus on the developers.
Right? The government publishes it in birth records! It's public from the first month you are born.
Well, gambling is legal in many places. The US does not allow it online but many other countries do. For the same reason crypto will survive as a form of gambling in many countries even if some countries won't allow it.
There are different levels of publicly-available information.

I have a stalker. I know her well enough to keep myself safe. I don't take measures which would deter a marketing company or a government, but enough to deter her. It's a lot easier to live with some "soft" measures than with "hard" measures.

When "public" information is aggregated and posted online, it does cause problems for people like me.

I first read about the more disturbing (i.e. waved over in school) details of reconstruction a few years ago in Grant’s biography (really good btw as was Chernow’s Hamilton). One of the most shocking events was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilmington_insurrection_of_1... and also the New Orleans massacre. The klan would violently put down attempts by black peoples to assert themselves politically and would kill the Republicans who helped them in the process.
No app store at launch! They were gonna use web apps or something vague. Still ate BB's lunch. Nokia, too. Best marketing in the industry, if you ask me.
I don’t think the room analogy works. I can easily find my way to something in the dark and place rooms in a house in my head but I’ve never been able to visualize anything city or town scale spatially.
For anyone that likes financial sector history, I would say its more like 1907.

Private sector bailouts managing any collapse. Important in cementing power.

I like that panic because JP Morgan had more money and valuable resources than the US government did at the time, and it is unfamiliar to imagine that government as not all powerful financially. But as a direct result of this, JP Morgan used his leveraged influence to push for that sovereign arm of finance in the United States and succeeded in a form of that with the Federal Reserve Act a few years later, combined with the income tax amendment it put the US on a path to being all powerful financially. Fascinating to me. I kind of like how the opportunities repeat.
