This happens because a lot of times trans people find themselves in the position where they realize they are trans but can’t do anything about it because they were born in a country that doesn’t offer the qualified help to them (at all or in timely fashion). Sometimes it has to do with their parents refusing to hear what’s on their mind. That’s when “trans diy” options come to light and they helped many a trans people previously. The thin line where this kind of behavior might turn into something less innocent might not be immediately obvious, especially when phrased in a way that is supposed to elicit emotional response.

Serverless Domain Driven Design
Yeah, even though or even if the post was removed the outrage mob on Twitter won’t care and it is always one-sided. They got what they wanted even though it won’t solve the problem. It is now the internet’s problem.

They will just flag this post and rejoice that they got a billon dollar internet company to bend the knee only for them to scream a false victory, despite KF still being up and running on another domain with Tor and DDoS protection with another provider. Nothing has changed.

When it comes to a Twitter mob, there is no “Sorry” or “Please I can explain”, or “It’s not what you think it is” or “But the post was removed”. With the Twitter mob, there is just no redemption.

So on to the next villain of the month.

It’s so embarassing for a company that championed customer services improving quality of day to day life for so many people is now putting the basic rights of everyone (yes, market leaders tend to influence the whole game) at risk
I just don't think its ever going to be realistic for a company to be held responsible for everything every customer puts up on the web, because there are millions/billions of them.

The problem is any organized body of people can start a similar pressure campaign against Cloudflare or Facebook or Reddit. It is now their job to be a complete legal system - listen to each complaint, adjudicate who is right and who is wrong, what is ethical or not, and respond. Which websites are allowed to exist, which subreddits, which ads and messages are okay and which aren't..

This is an incredibly dangerous & undemocratic precedent because those companies answer to stockholders not citizens. There is a reason the judicial system is set up the way it is, with elected lawmakers and juries of ordinary people.

Your example makes no sense, BLM does not directly or indirectly endorse nor is affiliated with groups that endorse rioting in fact you had people in BLM telling people not to riot.

Kiwifarms on the other hand do indirectly endorse harassment, swatting and doxxing.
In fact you do have people on that forum working day and night to dox people of interest.

A much better example would be: Reddit, with it indirectly supporting radical left wing causes, because they haven't been as active banning those hateful communities.
This appears to be talking short term fluctuations, but if the common belief is that they'll rise eventually, then people will buy on the dip and the process self-regulates itself.
Working with Lambda Function Versions
If Mindgeek shuts down or sells its business, the new owner will be US-based.

There's a clear pattern that is becoming very visible now, where the US attacks European or Asian owned companies in the social/content media space by leveraging baseless accusations about wrongdoings or some crime committed, then disturbing the service by threatening to ban it, or withdrawing access to payment methods.

It doesn't matter what space or type of company it is. If it is large enough and owns a big piece of a lucrative market, then it will be attacked.

The goal is to put pressure and allowing US-based investment firms to acquire the company, or to make it fold so US-based competitors can absorb the market share, and thus finally owning and controlling what is typically tens of billions of market share and steering the revenue into the US.

TikTok, Pornhub/Mindgeek, Spotify, and OnlyFans are some recent examples where exactly this method is being applied.

This is about his fading pigments. There are letters of his where he acknowledges that he uses bad quality paints that are likely to fade, which is why he uses stronger colors than he knows he should.

The linked article (which has very few pictures, this link to work by the original researcher has much more: https://asada0.tumblr.com/post/11517603099/the-day-i-saw-van... ) is about something else, namely a form of color blindness that distorts your vision in ways that are a lot less obvious than the way more common red/green or even blue/yellow color blindness.

I’m not an expert, of course, but to my layman’s eyes the “corrected” images look much, much better than the u corrected ones (you’ll need to see them indoors, however, on a reasonably good screen, to truly appreciate the difference). Uncorrected van Gogh’s work always strikes me as flat, lifeless and therefore amateurish. The corrected ones have much more depth and therefore, while garish, strike me as much more competent.

PRIMARY SOURCES are important because computer science, programming and software engineering are not abstractions that exist outside of history, outside of their practitioners. There is a lot of PATH DEPENDENCY and TECH DEBT that simply exists and which guides theory and practice, and we cannot wish it away by pointing to an objectively superior technical solution.

HISTORY helps to explain why this came to be and often these primary sources serve as historical records and they make the future (our present) make sense since, as a purely TECHNICAL SOLUTION, some things or developments do not make sense.

This has become fairly evident to me when reading about data management and databases the past month, the original papers starting from 70s up to today.
And how exactly do you determine who the user is that has committed the crime without the cooperation of the admins?
From memory, so it might be wrong and probably outdated:

- the cells themselves weren't exactly cheap (lots of platinum) but that was IIRC non-recurring cost

- storage is non-trivial due to hydrogen embrittlement and the like, while methods that are safe from it have other issues. Toyota has, AFAIK, this year or last year presented a serious improvement in that area with removable, rechargeable hydrogen cartridges - even if they break, less expenditure to replace, plus they make off grid operation much easier

- hydrogen has a chicken and egg situation where vehicles need a robust network of charging stations but to build such network you need customers - a circular dependency. According to NIST studies on the topic, charging stations with in-situ electrolysis equipment and only a buffer tank are best option, so you effectively have same requirement as for BEV chargers plus source of clean water

Note that BEVs made a run around the problem by having early adopters depend on home chargers that offered enough range for city driving - essentially validating the need for charging network by having cars already on the road. (subsidies helped of course)

That said, energy density of hydrogen is orders of magnitude better than batteries, so unlike with electric cars the question is not "we need unknown new technologies to get effective long range truck" but just a matter of money to actually turn prototypes into operational model.
Certainly. I'm not claiming that drugs have zero effects on brain chemistry or structure. I'm saying that most of the research that was used for general scare tactics was heavily exaggerated or misconstrued.

Is MDMA neurotoxic? Without a doubt. Is it anymore so than many prescription drugs that are used on a far more regular basis? Most research points to no. And, in fact, most research has shown that it's neurotoxicity is far more acute (vs chronic/long-lasting) than many prescription drugs.
>We are also not taking this action directly because of the pressure campaign

Thats believable /s

But even if they were speaking the truth, this is just throwing more bait to the pressure campaigns. As the post says this does not make these issues go away, just as putting paint over mold just hides the issue.
I used to work in banks where you had teams of architects create high level design (HLD) docs that get turned over to the design team to produce low level designs (LLD) that the get turned over to developers how are meant to write the code, then to be turned over to the testing team. With massive handover meetings at every stage and forests of paper for milestone documentation that had to be signed off.

Never had my soul be destroyed as completely and I seen such a massive waste of time and money.
Making accusations against someone and trying to get them deplatformed is not the same as threatening someone with violence. I know very few details but the moral equivalence you’re drawing in this comment is false.

I do a lot to reduce context switching even on the small scale, and reducing how many times I switch to the mouse is one of those things. I also reduce screen switching, "alt-tabs" or workspace switching, for that I use a tiling window manager (i3). Since it's impossible to avoid web browsing for work, I also use Vimium to bring more keyboard into that process. I would consider my approach "low-mouse" rather than no mouse. Certainly not no-keyboard. Although not quite voice activation, if you can type then typing is concise and accurate, which makes it quick. Does anyone have any experience comparing this to Vim?

Especially for Vimium (chrome extension, not Vim), I consider it a superpower, because it feels a bit like telekinesis. I can just look at things and make them happen with my keys, no need to navigate toward them.
Ask HN: Recommendations for “Hacker Fiction” Films?
It will probably seem really silly, but I loved the vibe of the original Hackers film (90s, anti-corporate, young kids vs world), as well as Johnny Mnemonic.

I also enjoyed reading (the 1997 version of) Underground: Tales of Hacking, Madness and Obsession on the Electronic Frontier, as a snapshot of the vibe at that time.

The vibe at the time which maybe too glibly and imprecisely: was a strange solution of corporate dystopianism, mixed with a young person's rebellion and optimism.

I also like the idea of, but never watched War Games (maybe it's too old?)

I don't intend this question to be my personal recommendation solicitations: it should be a chance for anyone to share--but I'm just trying to give some concrete examples to frame it, which I suppose boils down to (maybe): 80s-90s vibe cyberpunk fictional hacking films, not docos.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for some fiction films to watch in this space? Hacker fiction films?

I am not aware of what Kiwifarms have done, but I am aware of what is often said when people claim harrasment of trans people. And that would not be considered harrasment in any other context.

So maybe this is the case that has finally gotten too far, but when you have been crying wolf as many times as the trans movement has, well I am not going to care.
> I love the semicolon rule, I think that distinction is extremely important and too often gets muddled

Yes, the distinction is important. That's why it's extremely annoying that this distinction is almost invisible if you don't look very close on the code using magnifying glasses. Like I said: Marking such an important distinction through something almost invisible like a (missing) semicolon is pure craziness.

Usually nobody reads semicolons! They are usually just line noise coming form a time as parsing code was actually still some kind of science and people made syntax with the explicit intent to be easy readable by archaic computers (and not humans in the first place).

I think `return`s are superfluous but given the choice between some more line noise in the form of a `return` statement and this semicolon brain-fart I would clearly prefer the `return`…

> (though in Rust's case I think it's more accurate to say it distinguishes between "statements and expressions" than "procedures and functions")

Since when? Did I miss something? (This could be, I'm looking only occasionally into Rust).

AFAIK leaving out the semicolon is only an option on the last expression of a procedure, turning that "procedure" into a function.

Leaving out (the completely unnecessary!) semicolons elsewhere is a syntax error to my best knowledge.

fn main() {
let baz = if false {"bar"} else {"foo"}
println!("Hello, {baz}!", baz = baz);
}

The above code would not compile, afaik, because the semicolon is missing on the first line of the procedure.

The completely unnecessary semicolons are just one of the examples that make the Rust syntax heavyweight and needless noisy for no good reason. I don't get how a modern language can fall back to such antique syntax.

The very rare use-case where you really want to write some comprehensive one-liner could have been easy supported by optional semicolons. But in the general case one just doesn't need that line noise.

Rust is a great language, really! But they obviously didn't put any effort into the syntax. The result is that the language reads partly like C++, and I guess almost everybody could agree that C++ has one of the most terrible syntax out there.

Rust is "modern" language with a stone age look & feel. That's a big missed opportunity, imho.

I think the use of platinum catalysts is a current driver of costs for the fuel cell.

There's similar issues on the electrolyzer side but I think cheaper alternatives are entering the mass production stage. Presumably people are looking for similar breakthroughs on the fuel cell side.

Plus the subsidies for using polluting fossil fuels cramping the market, though they are, very slowly, being reduced.

Worth remembering that FCEVs were in fact better than ICE for various reasons, but still not as good as BEVs, which is the main challenge for trucking as well, but better BEV trucks also improves FCEV trucks as they reuse a lot of the same tech stack after the hydrogen becomes electricity.
The power of open source
> Free speech is about giving people the freedom to say things I find disgusting.

Yes, but it is not only that. It is also being part of an relgious, cultural or otherwise marginalized group and not having to fear for your life because you have been a little too vocal.

The truth is that freedom of speech (like most other freedoms) must comstantly be balanced between the different actors. E.g. in 1930s Germany the members of the nationalist socialist party of Germany have been quite free to utter their disgusting voices while as a jewish citizen you would have had a hard time if you did so. And the reason for this was that the speech of the Nazis ended up being more than just opinions, but threats. And those threats turned into violence and genocide.

Today, we are again at a point where speech turns into threats turns into violence. Karl Popper's paradoxon of intolerance and all that. Any free society has to be intolerant towards the intolerant, otherwise you cease to be a free society at one point or another. Because the intolarent will not fight for free speech once they are in power, they will abolish it for everybody but themselves. The actual Nazis back then were quite happy painting themselves as victims only to later remove the very rights they claimed.

Once people get beaten, lynched and killed by fascist mobs and loose their rights to bodily autonomy discussing freedom of speech seems naive. People who have to fear violence and incarceration cannot speak freely. And if you look at the statistics for right wing violence the point I raise here is anything but academic.

I would like to know what that "something" was:

"On August 31st, Matthew Prince released a strong statement defending his role as a service provider and not a regulatory body. 3 days later, something scared him. I don't know what it was, but it achieved the desired result. In his explanation post, which reads as rushed and irrational, he tries to mitigate the whiplash between the two opposing statements by saying we are the worst site he has ever seen - because one post (which was already deleted by the time he pulled the plug) made a violent threat.

The precedent has been set. At Cloudflare, with enough pressure, a single post by a strange account can be made to threaten a 9-year-old community and the tens of thousands of people who have used it every day for years. There has never been a violent incident in our history, which cannot be said for many other sites still on Cloudflare. This narrative feels like a lie spun up to save face."
