I feel like you don’t get to criticise the value of the system if you grow up in a communist country that lacked access to the different sizes of paper and envelopes that make the system useful. Clearly you missed out! Making an A5 booklet from A4 and mailing it is something any print shop I grew up near would do.

No idea what the advantage of a whole unit is supposed to be; nobody is sat around with a ruler measuring A4 cuts. The tolerances for paper manufacturing need to be specified in tiny fractions of a mm either way. As for actual typographers, they don’t use metric units, the size of the paper is not of great concern.
Abortion is another example where minors are allowed to make decisions by themselves. Which is particularly important when you have politically heated topics like these, where the medical literature and your average parent often hold very different views.

The hard truth is metrics work. I can quantify someone’s performance and if they’re not doing well put pressure on them to do better or hire someone else.

Wouldn't it damage the trust between you and your child? I think even monitoring internet usage in-person or outright restricting access to potentially dangerous websites would be less intrusive. If your kid discovers you can access their messages at any time, it would make them more inclined to make other accounts and not discuss about any dangerous interactions on them out of fear of being discovered.

I hesitate to mention this, because you probably know it and are doing it this way. But some other poster mentioned "and then do cosine similarity". In this case, you're going to want to preprocess and normalize each row of both matrices to have unit norm. Then cosine similarity is simply a matrix multiply between the two matrices (one transposed), and a pass over the results to find the top-k per query using a max queue type data structure.

> Those aren't playground rules. Playground rules are that you fight back and it ends, or you take it and it goes on forever.

Honestly, this is a myth. One day, I decided to follow the "stand up to the bullies and they'll leave you alone" stuff my mother sprouted off. It started with two on two. Two bullies were threatening me and my mate, and I said to my mate we should stand up to them and they'll leave us alone. My mate decided to run. The bullies chased after him. I decided to stop the bullies and stood in there way. What happened over the course of 5-10 minutes was me standing up to these bullies, every time someone they knew came along they asked for help, eventually it was something silly like 10 of them versus me. I'm not too sure of the number because eventually someone jumped me from behind and I was beated until I was out cold. I was found by some girls who then told Janitor that I was dead. That Janitor then came to where they said I was and saw me not moving and thought I was dead. He had the unpleasurable experience of thinking he just found a 10-year old kid dead in a school hallway.

I stood up to every bully. I beat every single one of them up at some point. One bully left the school because of a beating I gave him. You know what changed? Nothing until i started dealing with them differently. Once I started acting like I couldn't care less they stopped their taunting and name calling and all the other stuff that I would beat them up for.

When was the last time a site got taken down because "others think it is not acceptable"? Please, name a single one. There's a difference between people simply "not liking" a site, and people using extremely well-established principles of ethical concepts and human rights (which have been refined over centuries) to decide what content is violating the "laws", as we call them, which have been generally agreed upon in modern society. Further to that, hosts have what we call "terms of service" or "acceptable use policy" which clearly define what content is acceptable for that host to continue to serve the customer operating the site and administrating its content. Again, not someone "thinking it is not acceptable".

> Health insurance companies know this and are legally forbidden to charge obese people more under the ACA.

You make it sound like there is a specific provision in the ACA that says, “thou shalt not charge the obese higher premiums.” There is not. Insurance companies are allowed to adjust premiums based on the insured’s age and whether or not they smoke, end of list.

The situation you’re advocating for (charge people based on their known risk at the time of policy issuance) is basically how insurance used to work, and it was dystopian. I literally had a doctor advise me to never get a certain test performed because I might become uninsurable. This state of affairs did not lead to ideal health outcomes.
Hey there! I think there are a few of us out there. I just recently moved back into that role myself and I still read HN on the daily. Commenting not so much.

I was referring less obvious damage rather than just lightbulbs/LED’s etc. So yes stuff not designed for the heat may fail like sagging power lines, but the real damage is less obvious.

Even paint degrades faster with heat, as does just about everything else. Individual Solar panels don’t show any obvious issues, but multiply a little damage by 10’s of billions of dollars worth of panels and it adds up.

PS: Rust seems like a counter example because water and salt dramatically speed things up, but all things being equal heat does increase the rate stuff rusts.
Let’s cross that bridge if it happens.
Maybe we should ban criticism against politicians while we are at it. If we don't do that then politicians will be harassed off the internet which of course would have a chilling effect on freedom of speech.
If you cannot define a term, you should not use it. I'm surprised that you're so honest about your irrationality, though. Normally, you would "define" hate speech as follows: "Weasel term, weasel term, weasel term" and that would be that.

I would define hate speech as speech that directs hatred at a particular group. For instance, Joe Biden recently gave a state speech (The "Gates of Hell" speech) that was completely choked with hatred for a group. Shrug. I have no interest in banning this, whether from the "president" or from anon. My understanding of Kiwifarms is that they basically just make fun of idiot liberals--a sport on endless grounds.

If you gave your honest definition of hate speech it would likely be "People who disagree with me and make me look bad showing how stupid or wrong I am."

Hunting trans people and pushing them to suicide sounds like much more of a witch trial to me.

It would be super easy to create malnutrition of some sort with this advice (anemia for instance). You might not even end up managing proportions - it is fairly easy to end up hungry and then binge on bread, nuts, dried fruits or whatever else if the diet don't contain what you need.

The right composition of plants does matter great deal.
Same for me. Got an NSFW warning for "A ten year old boy daydreaming"
It's more incidental/emergent than intentional, though. And that can happen with any group that has more than a certain number of empathy-impaired people participating. (Including most groups of teenage girls.)
Diet is also one of the most personal things to ask people to change, deeply tied in with their health, habits, cultures, and religion. If you ask them to do something that crosses some of those lines, you will have exactly the opposite effect you are claiming it will have. If you tell people that the most important thing they can do is adopt a diet that undercuts their health (many people cannot healthily maintain a vegan diet - including many, many vegan influencers) then you will demoralize them.

This push to tie the vegan diet to climate, it didn't come from the climate movement - it came from the animal rights movement. And it really exploded with Cowspiracy, which was a blatant propaganda film that badly abused the literature and has since been roundly debunked.

You still see some climate campaigners harping on this point, George Monboit being the most prominent to come to mind, but again, an honest accounting of the literature does not support their point -- that "going vegan is the easiest and highest impact choice an individual can make for their personal carbon reduction". It is not easy for most people and the impact of it is not nearly that clear cut.

The meme is a distraction that was imposed on the environmental movement by people who do not have the environment, or climate change mitigation, as their first priority.

I've been seeking a sustainable diet and agriculture for over a decade. Believe me when I tell you it is not simple or clear cut. There are a lot of things we should be pursuing in that area, but universal veganism is not one of them. (General meat reduction is, but that is not the same thing.)
Yes, because dehumidification involves a phase change (water vapor to liquid) and the heat of vaporization is much higher than needed to effect a simple temperature change in dry air.

If by "their use case" you mean teaching CS, then I would agree.

> which sports much more than 'a pseudo-macro system'.

Well, Scheme doesn't really have many features. It's meant to be a simple (and by extension limited) language. I mentioned their pseudo-macro system since it's one of the parts where Scheme (badly) disconnects from its Lisp lineage.
Cool. Let's say you are forbidden by law from posting comments on the Internet. Not because I'm limiting your speech, but because I made the law "it's illegal to make ceejayoz sad".

Goodness. If you think the western concept of democracy is merely about voting I think your educational system has served you poorly. A good way to learn what a democracy is may be to learn a bit more about what it takes to safeguard a democracy. Timothy Snyder has written a few books that might be useful.
But that’s an imaginary problem. You seem to think that having some standards even if they are not clearly defined necessary means anything could happen and the most silly things will. It is not the case in practice.

While it is certainly possible that Near committed suicide, there is no proof of it. Even on the linked Wikipedia article, the only evidence is a Twitter thread and a few people saying that they "spoke to the police", and nothing else.

USA Today reported on a Twitter thread. They did not claim to have access to any official documents, only second hand accounts of what the police said.

There would most likely have been an official record of his death. Embassies in Japan usually publish records of expat deaths. None of the confirmed expat deaths in Japan in that time window match anything like Near's description.

The only reason information about his death would be blocked is due to an ongoing investigation by police.

It is unlikely that the police would share information about an ongoing investigation with anyone, and if they did it would only be with family.

What it boils down to is that someone on the internet heard from the Japanese police that near had killed himself because of online bullying.

Just to be clear, if I were Near, I might hoax my own suicide if it hurt Kiwifarms. But I don't think there is nearly enough evidence to justify deplatforming Kiwifarms.
I’ve actually accepted and have come around to prefer a regulated internet.

They're responding to a hysterical, Luddite portion of the public that would make them pay a PR cost if they didn't at least make a sloppy attempt at "safety". It's idiotic and futile, but blessedly short-lived.

Thanks to the miracle of open-source, it took me about 20 minutes yesterday to get Stable Diffusion up and running on my laptop's CPU, with no content filter. SD inference has low enough compute needs that using cloud GPU compute is cheap as hell (for now, perhaps), and discrete GPUs aren't that expensive in the grand scheme of things.

Ultimately, reality often does win. It's just not a stable equilibrium for companies to continue these laughable attempts at "filtering", any more than physical media formats were able to withstand the arrival of digital formats in the presence of piracy. Combine this with the cultural headwinds against the influence of mentally-ill hysterics on social media, and I don't expect the current level of filtering to last very long.
I probably should have said broadly affects people* rather than "everyone".

For example, the lack of moderation on Facebook has probably been a factor in thousands or tens of thousands of suicides. Just from the fact there are a billion+ Facebook users and people are horrible to each other.

There's a case at the moment in the UK of a 14 year old girl who killed herself over abuse over social media (mainly Facebook).

Germany is in the EU, easy language to learn, decent cost of living, good roads, good connections to other countries, nice people (once you get over German frankness), also, Germany is in the EU.

Why do I mention that Germany is in the EU? It means that it's much easier to go there for EU citizens, it is trivial to trade with Germany, it is not hard to start a company there, it is trivial to rent a house there, it is easy to travel there.

No matter some "minor" issues with German energy politics, this makes Germany a pretty interesting location.
When would you actually need to not have the max regen braking? You can always just push the drive pedal slightly to let the car know you aren’t slowing down, instead.
This is a really misguided opinion but possibly based on working with misguided managers. Velocity in traditional scrum-style agile is metric of product completion. If you're doing point estimates or the like and you've sized your MVP at 128 points and you've completed 64 points with 180 developer-days then you are 50% done and can project completion in another 180 developer-days. That's what it's predictive of. Saying it doesn't explain why your velocity is your velocity is a big duh. It's not supposed to. It's the primary indicator of progress. If velocity is too slow then you go figure out why or what can be done. If you're on time or early, then great.
