That's the thing, though, the folding was never helpful to me even while in Europe; it was a Nice Thing but I never used it in practice. Maybe if I was there now I could take advantage of it for proofing large format prints, like one of the sibling comments pointed out. But even the envelope thing was not helpful - the only envelopes we had were the blue communist ones, the international ones, and you ended up folding the letters at the edges to make it fit.

> But not a whole value.

Right, I said that because one of the dimensions is a half. However in practice those values behave as nice round numbers as well, because in the imperial measure context most things are sized to powers of two, i.e. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc.

The same as now, except the top comment remains visible. It's rare that individual comments on HN are too long.

The correct way of dealing with long individual comments is by showing only the first N characters and allowing expansion with an ellipses. But a workaround in my proposal is to collapse its parent. (This wouldn't work if it's a top-level comment, or if the parent had other replies you wanted to read.)

The problem with salem witch trials du jour so fervently pushed by certain groups of people is closing to its demise with every case like this. The advantage of emotionally immature people (regardless of their actual age) having too much time on their hands forcing their narrative and banning any discourse that they don't like will eventually cease when the majority of people will realize that they are, well, in a majority, and it's time to put stop to this madness.

Ah, that's a good idea. And it pushes a more adversarial dynamic that might motivate people to debunk eyebrow-raising conclusions from competing institutions.
I never said that meat was not available for all of human history or that prehistoric humans did not consume meat.

I'm talking about the (low quality) quantities available to almost anyone almost anywhere in the world for a relatively low price. And from looking at developing economies, it seems increased consumption of meat is an intentional sign of increasing wealth.

As far as large scale domesticated animal production, that is a "relatively" new thing. Before modern transportation, there were many parts of the world where such meat was minimal or simply not available.
You're absolutely right. Thanks.

Kiwifarm's owner statement: https://web.archive.org/web/20220905182626/https://poa.st/no...

This whole thing is kinda fascinating, if not extremely scary. After learning about the situation from the last couple threads here and going down the rabbit hole of sources, the future of the internet seems pretty sad... If cloudflare doesn't reinstate the website after dealing with said immediate danger they claimed was the reason to remove its protection it just shows how hard you can shut someone down by just twitter outrage.

If the threat really was so dire, and if there really was something of the sort sure i can see allowing the obvious DDOS in the background go thru and take the website down. But not reinstating it after the time they were claiming to buy by doing it was already bought it means if you scream loud enough on twitter, even while having an obvious army of arsonists behind you, the firefighters will just stop serving said target.

Sure, cloudflare is a private company and all that, nobody questions it, but it doesn't make it any less unsettling.
https://dezgo.com/ doesn't.

Only the author knows their reasons for this specific case, but in general it seems internet services tend to follow american conservative views on nudity. I mean why is it strictly forbidden to post a topless photo on almost any mainstream social network again?

Another reason is liability, in case the model truly happens to generate something that might be illegal in author's jurisdiction and they are afraid of ever so shortly storing the image on their server.
If tech debt is always bad then it seems like a bad indirect analogy. Taking on money debt is often a sound decision.
I don't think either of you are correct.

Doctors and parents should be involved in every single one of these kids decisions, but if the doctors and parents are involved, it's their job to care for their kids. If they decide their kids need to be helped in some way, they should be free to make that decision.

Doctor oversight for the medical industry already exists and is already a very strong structure, and it will adapt over time to keep kids safe from malpractice. You are probably misinformed relative to the experts on these issues.

It is my belief that unregulated handing of medicine to kids is not good. Especially having seen how some of these groups on discord work.

I also think that barring kids from potentially helpful medicine is also not good. You will genuinely hurt people by doing this by denying them care that could save their lives.

This is a place where I think pragmatism is best, and you need to set your biases aside as much as you possibly can. Leave things to the people who are involved with them everyday, and look after your own life with what you see.
This was the first time I heard about "homemade" HRT. But proper HRT can be easily bought on online pharmacies. An index of them is available for example at https://diyhrt.wiki/ or https://hrt.cafe/
giving out free car seats to all newborns, free smoke detectors every few years to every residence, free CO2 monitors, and tackling obesity and unhealthy lifestyle choices such as drugs thru more education or recreational opportunities for kids etc - or 'studying' the possible effects of climate change in nowhereville USA

There are already government programs and charities that give out free car seats, and car seats are required by law for infants in every state. There's not much more the government can do to get more babies in car seats.

Most areas require hardwired smoke detectors in new construction, as well as in rental units. The Red Cross and other charities (and some fire departments) provide free smoke detectors to those that can't afford them.

Spending money now to prepare for worse climate in the future sounds like a good investment since many mitigations can take years or decades to fund and complete. (like building generator backed community cooling centers, building or improving levees, etc).

Harassment (e.g. attempting to communicate with someone with the intent to upset them) is indeed bad for discourse and should be stopped. However, talking to other likeminded people about how much X sucks and you hate them would not be harassment.
The rich/poor divide does indeed exist and has always existed, but that floats separately to the poverty divide. changing one does not change the other. Imagine an ancient communist utopia where all the bread is split evenly - and the 20% who aren't making bread spread their more interesting items across the population equally. Maybe you'll get some nice pottery.
By any modern measure of poverty, you have created a utopia of poverty, everyone would be below the modern poverty line.

The rich of ancient times had to scrape their wealth from the labour of _so many_ people.

Meanwhile, if we tried applying the ancient poverty line to a modern rich society, we'd have trouble defining it clearly, even homeless people might sit above it, it barely makes sense.

Someone defines what gets removed. Ideally in a democracy "society" as a whole decides what that is. The obvious example is child exploitation, are pedophiles rights to swap images of kids currently being "censored as speech YOU hate"?.

Harassment forums like the one in discussion here have no place in civilized society and I am happy for them to be censored. The people that frequent these sites can get together in person and chat about hating all they want, but the method of their harassment (the global platform of the internet) should removed -- insofar as that is possible.
Anyone (anyone regardless of anything) who said they believed giving any medicine to a child without parental consent, even implying subterfuge, to me is extremely dangerous and I would pull my child out of any activity/school/club if there was someone there with those views in a responsible role of the children.

For that reason I think attitudes like this do more harm for the trans community than good. If I knew a trans person with these views I would do everything possible to avoid any contact with them and my children.
> But freedom of speech/expression/opinions aren't about defending those who speech/expression/opinions you like but all of them.

What if the freedom of speech you are defending is impeding on the right of others to speak freely?

While I agree with the sentiment, that we have to be especially observant how we treat the freedoms of the people whose opinions we dislike, I don't think just defending those and forgetting about the grand picture is in great service of freedom of speech as it stands.

Maybe this is my liberal (?) European bias, but I don't think for example there is much value in definding some extremist political group that goes after some other people whose opinion they don't like. In the worst case, you are defending a group who has a huge chilling effect on the free speech of the other group, by making them afraid of speaking publicly about their cause.

The various examples are synthetic.

The use of a helper-function is given in the lwn article as a reason for not supporting multi-level break:

] The solution to "Python needs a way to jump out of a chunk of code" is usually to put the chunk of code into a function, then return out of it.

More specifically:

] To make this proposal convincing, we need a realistic example of an algorithm that uses it, and that example needs to be significantly more readable and maintainable than the refactorings into functions, or the use of try…except (also a localised goto).

] If you intend to continue to push this idea, I strongly suggest you look at prior art: find languages which have added this capability, and see why they added it.

The multi-level break in that Rust example may be "more readable and maintainable than the refactorings into functions", but it is not "significantly more readable."
That just says "don't use the word 'heap' for anything normative", surely not "let's hope what we think is a heap is universal consensus"? I support the current thing though
Seems obvious to me: The only reason those people are even "rich" is because we've collectively decided not to eat them.

Ah, so now the goalposts have shifted to "the primary content is something I find objectionable". Why not just take down every site with that kind of content, if the "deaths linked to the site" isn't actually why you want to ban it?

Yes, this is an incredible article. Historians must weep at our idiocy. We are exactly as those New Orleans rich slave owners were then, such a terrible synchrony between yellow fever and covid. We are just the same, even though we think we are different. So similar, even to the call to be manly and not let covid keep you down.

> fake content could be something that minimizes their damage

I don't claim to have any knowledge in the subject area, but it seems plausible that feeding habits of those who enjoy child pornography could instead embolden them to commit actions they would not have otherwise. At the very least, this seems like something to approach with extreme caution.
Was just talking to my wife about this not in the context of Kiwifarms, but of Yandex and "covid misinformation" as well as Edward Snowden.

Russia is always happy to be a friendly port in a storm when the subject is speech that American powers that be wish to silence, and as uncomfortable as that relationship is, I'm glad that our nation's geopolitical enemies will back unpopular speech, even if it's only to spite their own enemies of state.
The site is still up as an onion service. This is more than just cloudflare's DDoS protection at this point, they have no one to support their DNS registration or IP space, as their operator goes into detail here[0]:

>[...]

>Domain Registrar

>Cloudflare was both our application-level DDoS mitigation and our domain registrar. They have given me a way to transfer my domains to another registrar. I do not know what registrar to send it to because I do not have faith in any company.

>DDoS Mitigation

>DDoS-Guard will drop us dropped us while I was writing this post. This meme about Russia being a free country is a joke. The US is a free country, but with no stewards to protect it. Without the US, there is no second best. I did not expect Cloudflare to crumple so quickly and I don't have a Plan C for DDoS mitigation.

>Resource Allocation

>I own IP addresses. Our IP allocation is from APNIC. APNIC is one of the 5 private companies which allocate Internet resources around the world. APNIC happens to be based out of Australia, which recently passed draconian censorship laws. There is an effort to get our RIR to revoke our allocation. This would be unprecedented in the history of the Internet, and considering China is in APNIC's region, an absolutely horrific standard which will echo throughout the upcoming decades. There is a non-zero chance of this happening.

>Hosting

>We have one host and I am looking at two more. It is likely that the host will give up too. The two hosts confident they can handle the Kiwi Farms are probably wrong. DDoS-Guard was confident they could handle the Kiwi Farms and said "bring it on" for less than 24 hours

It seems like this guy is getting completely unplugged from the internet infrastructure because every company sees him as a liability. Well, there's always onionbalance for these types I guess.

But he’s right that this is happening. Just because it’s obscure and subtle doesn’t mean it’s wrong. You’re not an idiot, you know that the point of these forums is to generate effects in the world with plausible deniability, the exact kind of deniability you’re supporting here.

That's a pretty good start but I'd extend it with:

If you can't replicate that means the original research didn't document the conditions adequately.
This is great to see. We've been using UDFs with SQLite and .NET for about 3 years now.

With just a little bit of imagination, you can build a very powerful domain-specific language on top of a SQL dialect. There is nothing that says your new SQL functions have to be free from side effects either.

You can also do some crazy stuff with recursive SQL evaluation. I.e. a UDF that executes raw SQL command text, which itself can contain the same invocation. Bonus points if this command text resides in the same database and can reflect/edit itself at runtime...

>I think because some of us look at Internet access or phone service as akin to water or electricity service. You just don't deprive someone of those things.

I agree that trying to cancel people from being able to enjoy baseline physical necessities is not a line that's being crossed yet, but an attack on utilities may not necessitate this. Let's say Joshua Moon also happened to run a small hobby store in a strip mall. Would going after the utility providers (or landlord) for this store be "fair game" in order to attack KiwiFarms? Why or why not?
Non-plant protein was probably consumed by almost every pre-historic human. Indeed the quantities were probably lower, but for those societies that consumed insects it could be quite high.

Crickets, grasshoppers, and many other insects have incredibly high protein/mass ratios and are readily available.

I have zero interest in consuming those forms, but I also 99% avoid any animal proteins. If a prime rib steak falls on my plate, however, I will not send it away!

But the agricultural revolution itself is probably one of man's greatest mistakes. It concentrated people, caused greatly increased population growth, ruined lands, created things to fight over, etc.

Pre-agriculture was likely a better natural global balance.

I ended up conflating hosting and promoting which wasn't clear enough. You would be definitely be hosting hate speech, which is essentially promoting it (by using the internet to make that speech more accessible to others than it would be otherwise).

The alternative is to accept that moderation is NECESSARY for online communities (or else spam and hate speech will take up a huge part of the content and suddenly you'll realize you're essentially promoting this content afterall) and moderation will always look like the opposite of "free speech".
FYI the site also has a second TDG exercise that is worth trying if you like this kind of stuff.
