Russians keep falling from windows. Is that a common suicide method there, and might it be a convenient cover for an extra-judicial execution?

This is semantics with the word ‘tolerance.’ Tolerance means something akin to ‘permissible deviation.’ It doesn’t mean associate, it directly means the thing is permissible and thus isn’t stopped.
I read somewhere that there was a raise in bicycle factories in Portugal. Some euro companies are attractee by the idea of being able to put a made/assembled in europe label while keeping labour cost low, avoid asian supply issues and portugal provides that.

Exactly. That's a problem.

For example, I'm in favor of banning speech exhorting folks to violence against people of any specific race/religion/ethnicity/orientation/belief. That seems like a simple enough restriction.

But then, in the event of a law like that being passed, the advocates of violence switch their tactic to explaining why said target group is subhuman, or resort to apophasis, or develop coded language.

The solution often proposed is to consider purely verbal instigators of violence to be innocent of any crime, and consider the individuals who physically enact the violence as bearing all responsibility. Unfortunately, having personally witnessed mobs getting worked up and seeing firsthand the collapse of individual thought, I fear this approach is based on an over-generous analysis of the rationality (and individuation) of the human brain.

I don't have any solution to propose.

Probably also worth noting: you don't need to build (many kinds of) extensions as C-compatible code and separate .so files that you load.

SQLite is an in-process database. You can give it a callback func to execute. So your regex-extract can literally just call a function in your code: https://sqlite.org/appfunc.html

edit: Python's stdlib documentation concisely shows how easy this can be: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.Conne... Basically every SQLite library should have something similar. This extreme ease of extending is a big part of why SQLite has so little built-in.
Please quote the entire statement. And stop the needless "even owns up to it" FUD.

> Actually, SQLite will easily do 50,000 or more INSERT statements per second on an average desktop computer. But it will only do a few dozen transactions per second. Transaction speed is limited by the rotational speed of your disk drive. A transaction normally requires two complete rotations of the disk platter, which on a 7200RPM disk drive limits you to about 60 transactions per second.
> but the ones I worry about more are the ones that actually are still increasing, like the chance of my kid getting hit by a car while they’re walking around the neighborhood

Yes! This is my issue as well. Drivers on residential streets have gotten so much worse since I was a kid in the '80/90s.
You're performing a trick here in here of hiding the individual differences between two separate authors by referring to "a website" as a monolith. (And then you semi-walk-it-back, but treat that as somehow... a strange thing to do?)

That's the sort of rhetorical subterfuge that helps promote a black-and-white us-and-them narrative.

I generally don't even agree with Brooks on a lot of things, so I'd go even further and suggest that in many cases one should evaluate separate texts independently (this can lead to some problems at the extreme ends, but again, it's not a black and white rule). It's hard to see anything helpful coming from your sort of blanket dismissal response.
<< Every racist has used this same logic to explain why they won't let their kids play with the black neighbors.

I do want to point out that the moment you call everything racist, nothing is racist. Same applies to most labels used to attempt to shut down discussions based on merits/data/statistics rather than emotions and rallying flag keywords. In the old country, my parents did not let me play with other white kids for reasons other than race. Were their intolerance so different, because it did touch the color of the skin? It is not a bait. It is a real question.

<< At the end of day being alive implies risk, teaching your children how to manage that risk is a part of your job as a parent.

We are in agreement.

<< Or disallow your children from working around them. In fact, disallowing that harms them in the long run as they never learn how to work around them with more care.

Depends on the kid temperament really. I was somewhat obedient. My sister was not.

You did not really answer the question about intolerance. Is racism tolerable? Should you not "not to refuse to work around them" based on your own argument?
Yes but training it and massaging the data set properly would be pretty mind blowing
Yes it's very pachydermic.

Filing with the vaccine injury court and reporting this adverse event will have a far more effective impact than encouraging people to draw conclusions and take action based on selection-biased anecdata posted to Hacker News.

I did, of course, post my own anecdata. But it's much harder for people to choose whether or not to actually become infected by COVID than it is to decide whether or not to vaccinate.

You'll also note that we are now in fact having the pointless argument I predicted.
>it's not a scientific test.

Isn't every subjective experience, almost by definition, unable to be tested scientifically?

We can objectively measure someone's brain activity during sleep, but we can't really measure their subjective experience. Implying that everything made up of subjective experience (like consciousness) can't be measured. Which also implies it can't be proven by scientific means. So in response to the GP comment, I'm not sure we can "know you're awake" (in the scientific sense, at least).
Also in the Wikipedia page, it mentions the very similar thoughts of Jefferson:

Thomas Jefferson had already addressed the notion of a tolerant society in his first inaugural speech, concerning those who might destabilize the United States and its unity, saying, "let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.

You're conflating different values of "you". If I sell my house to a non-resident person and receive money, why should I use that money to build more housing, rather than a Ferrari? Meanwhile, the people who actually build the houses aren't the ones selling all the existing stock in the most desirable locations. They are stuck building suburban sprawl because that's where the empty space is.
This is roughly what I’m thinking.

We can be intolerant of things which are “obviously” wrong, like hate and other intolerance. We shouldn’t be intolerant of the gray area, where something is controversial but still justified.

The fundamental truth is that you are intolerant, because speech leads to action. People like to think of themselves as tolerant and not sensitive, and maybe some people are tolerant to speech which doesn’t lead to action and can take insults for days. But when a majority may hold an opinion you don’t like (e.g. cancel your favorite TV show, or food, or just flat-out kill you and harvest your organs), you want to censor this opinion. You may also want to censor speech when it affects those who aren’t so thick-skinned, like your mom or 5-year-old daughter or the other 75% of the population whose mental health is affected by words.

If your laws tolerate enough speech, the bad guys may team together, take over your government and change them - hence, the Paradox of Tolerance. But they may not, and they may also manage to take over your government without tolerance or speech or even teaming up. In an ideal world we’d allow all speech but have no “bad” speech, but in practice we have tape and plywood to prevent speech when the alternative would very clearly, very significantly hurt more people than censoring.

I also think there are also exceptions to tolerance in the case of an emergency, with the distinction that it has to be an actual emergency universally (agreed on by logical people), and also temporary unless it’s really, really bad (like everyone dies once we stop). e.g. covid in January-May 2020. If we had a super strict, solid covid lockdown when the virus first broke out, we may have actually eradicated covid. Yeah we’d be violating essential freedoms, we’d have to lock up or possibly execute people who go outside, and may even have to curtail anti-science speech. But with said lockdown we may have actually eradicated covid, IMO that is worth being intolerant of dissent for 3 months. However, covid mandates once we realized covid would become endemic, those are debatable, because a) the emergency is no longer universally agreed, and b) some of those mandates could be argued indefinite.

But the other fundamental truth is there’s no right answer. There’s no “do policy X and everything will work out”, hindsight 20/20 but we have no idea the “bad” speech (speech which causes real suffering) of the future will be. There’s no “objectively moral” answer. Ultimately it comes down to, well, your opinion or the opinion of those in power.
Instagram is the target, not the scammer. And yes, it works.
> Greed

This is often thrown out as a shorthand for systemic failures, e.g. renters blaming individual landlords for rising rents. But I think it applies here. Short-term optimisation at the expense of long-term value. Optimising for the margin at the risk of the whole. Irrational, self-destructive maximalism: greed.
Freedom of speech is literally just “the government can’t throw you in jail for expressing an opinion.” It’s always been only that. Media companies (TV, newspapers, radio, now social media) have always “deplatformed” people who they disagree with or consider dangerous. There is nothing new in any of your examples.

If you agree with the views of deplatformed influencers, you can start your own blog about it. That’s free speech. They get to live their lives as normal, and companies are not obligated to give them a louder megaphone.
>the EU blocks that web site

I think only the RT video broadcast is blocked, not the website.
> require creating laws that restrict speech

Actually, you don't have to - you just have to create laws that protect entities that support it. Explicitly indemnifying online discussion portals from being held responsible for any (alleged) harm caused by discussions on their platform would go a LONG way toward supporting organizations that actually believe in free expression. Twitter can go on banning everybody who opposes communism, but Parler can't be legally shut down for allowing them.

Is free expression under attack or are affluent people who demand an audience under attack?

Express yourself all you want. No one is owed an agreeable audience. That’s the exact opposite of allowing freedom of expression.

Personally I think it’s the contrary; expression has become so unique and personal and not coupled to an abstract social tentpole; it’s really confusing people whose success is coupled to attention and adherence to past political correctness.

A whole lot of people used to a lot of deference are no longer being deferred to and are complaining. That’s all this feels like to me. Memory of when the sky was the limit for them because there was less freedom of expression under past “big top” social frameworks.

To back this up; in the US we recently crossed a threshold of <50% of adults believing in “higher powers”, down from ~80% around 2000. It’s hard to see such release of a modal not impacting belief in the “higher power” of a nation state, prior success of celebrities and thinkers; biological state has changed. Everyone is just “one of seven billion” with no special claim to a figurative identity that uniquely empowers them over any one else. That’s freedom of expression and people who rely on deferential attention will hate it.
Cancel culture is not the result of free speech, it's the result of a toxic social environment.

Here are some actionable solutions that don't require limiting free speech:

1. Improve labor laws so craven employers can't just dump their employee because they said something online (unrelated to the company on their personal time) and people are complaining.

2. Regulate social media algorithms to prevent the feedback loops that lead to events like a woman with two followers becoming the target of 20 million people.

3. Change media incentives to improve the quality of journalism and decrease click-bait and outrage-chasing.

One problem I face is native apps are too large for phones in developing countries that have limited storage and network capabilities. Most people can get WhatsApp on their phone, and that's it.

Would a PWA make apps more accessible to low-end devices and networks?
> At least the last time I used the site, the UI is actually not very clear about this

That's BS—in September 2020 (the oldest archive date for the Help Center on Wayback Machine), the messaging was: "Your members will be given the chance to become the organizer and keep the group running without you" and that remains identical to the copy on the current "step down" user flow.

If that's not clear, perhaps I don't understand the meaning of the word.

Meetup's intentions or incentives are totally beside the point. The UI is clear, the docs are clear, and have been all along.

> There are actually a lot of problems with how Meetup handles organizers stepping down and/or billing. I've lost track of the number of groups I've been in that experienced a "hostile" takeover because (for example) the primary organizer's credit card expired, which created an opening for any member to become the primary organizer just by providing their credit card, even though the other organizers were still present.

None of this has to do with the situation at hand, is there a reason you're bringing it up? Meetup has a ton of shitty practices and dark patterns, but none of that has anything to do with the fact that in this case, the situation is quite clear.

Is Meetup shitty? Yeah. But in a world full of adversarial entities, the responsible thing is to be defensive and act accordingly.
It's more like the world waking up to the fact tgat the US, and the West in general, never had the high ground to begin with.
> Why is corporate censorship more tolerable than government censorship?

Because that's the free market?

Places like YouTube or whatever being a de facto place for expression only exist because they've been remarkably balanced (as per how the market sees it) in how they handle speech on their platforms. As we've seen with how new social networks pop up so quickly, it doesn't take very long for a company/product to lose market relevance for serious strategic missteps.
The idea that all apps should use some kind of system style that dictates shape for every single control is... Odd. I don't know of any system that operates like this - certainly not Firefox on the Android phone I'm typing this from, nor the Windows box IT wants me to use for work, nor the Linux VM running inside that.

Especially for web apps, writing them so that they look good on every browser with default styling for every element is... Difficult.

Not to mention, users often use the same app from different browsers (laptop, phone, tablet), and are much more easily confused by the different styles of each device and browser than if the app itself is consistent, but different from other apps.

Edit to add: I'm very curious if you can find some major sites that do actually use the default checkbox controls - Google doesn't, YouTube doesn't, Apple doesn't, Wikipedia doesn't, Mozilla doesn't (though I did find a default radio button on their donate page), Microsoft doesn't. Even HN uses plenty of default controls, but still you'll see some custom controls, such as the upvote/downvote buttons.
Oh, no I'm not, I'm on 12.0. Does this make a difference?

The replacement will be available "in coming months" and the app will be maintained until December (and probably work until 2023), so the two will likely overlap while a simpler Web app is already available today.

Where do you see a problem?

I'm not an expert on the German research landscape, but I think it works a bit like that there, that the big shots work at Max Planck, Helmholtz,... institutes. Would be funny if the US followed Germany there, since the current academic/research setup in the US was basically imported from Germany in the early 20th century.
Shadow and Dust: Better Security Through Boundary and Ephemeral Infrastructure
It's about 1.5 times slower than pure async ADO.NET using IConnection and IDataReader, implying (duh! :D) it's about 5 times faster than Python and twice as fast as PHP. As to memory, we're running our cloudlets on "dust" basically, still they perform better than the average PHP solution deployed into 10x as much HW.

It's also async to the core, implying it's probably about one order of magnitude better on throughput per HW compared to PHP and Python, possibly more.

To understand why, realise it's just a tiny abstraction on top of .Net version 6. Implying we've got almost the same traits in regards to performance as .Net 6.
> What value does this comment add to the discussion?

Some of us advocate for a crypto tax to cover the cost of investigating, prosecuting and remunerating victims. This is currently borne by the public purse. Given the disproportionate contribution of crypto to fraud, and animated by the community’s general disdain for the law, this seems fair.
It can, though.
I'm guessing - instead of memorizing "7*9=63" (and numerous other products), you memorize that the multiples of 9 are "9,18,27,36,45,54,63..." and the 7th one in that list is the one you want?
Better title... "teach your kids to be gullible consumers so that we can stay rich."

> Also, on some browsers, checkboxes don't even have the lauded accessibility you're thinking about

In which case, people with accessibility needs won't be using that browser. And that's the whole point. The user can pick whichever browser works best for them, and implements the standard controls in the way they want. (Or, in the way that sucks the least, out of the browsers available to them.) And if they decide to get a better browser (different engine, or even just a major upgrade to the current one) suddenly all their websites work better. More importantly, they all work better in exactly the same way, so they only have to get used to any differences once, rather than for each and every website.

If you go and write your own version of a standard control which implements it that way you want, you take that away from the user.

HTML allows you to specify the semantics of the controls you want, and have the user-agent bother with the details about how it works. That's going to be more lightweight, more performant, and more user-friendly for more people than any alternative you bodge together yourself.
