It's odd how situational people are about when free speech requires someone to be given a platform and when it doesn't. There's an almost impressive 180 on free speech rolled up in this philosophy, and it's a philosophy that I'm unfortunately seeing online more and more nowadays.

The idea is that the government has the power to censor private institutions and public schools as it sees fit, but private companies have no right to censor or exercise their own freedom of association. Actively harassing people online is free speech that people should just ignore, but trans people merely existing publicly and openly in public spaces is dangerous propaganda that the government needs to put a stop to -- merely being open about their own existence is crossing the line. It's a philosophy that's happy to censor identity, and loathe to censor actions. It's a philosophy that sees government involvement in speech as fine, and private/social involvement in speech as an existential threat to the 1st Amendment.

Free speech is used as the justification for these policies and arguments, but it's only a justification. The actual goal is the reinforcement of existing social norms and hierarchies, and free speech is applied situationally in order to further that goal.

In general, be suspicious of anyone who claims to be a free speech advocate who has this kind of backwards view of the 1st Amendment. The point of the 1st Amendment isn't to make it easier for the government to censor, and it isn't to make it harder for private institutions to moderate their own spaces. That's not to say that we can't talk about the free speech implications of moderation decisions -- but if you're excusing government censorship while criticizing companies, I immediately get real suspicious.
People harm themselves. that's the action. thats the violence.

I can go online and say manga sucks. Somewhere, some kid is going to get very, very angry. He/she might even do something very irrational.

People who wish to equate words with violence do so solely to justify responding to words with violence. The goal here is to make it acceptable to kill you for what you say.
Foxpro, DBase and Access were such a high productivity tools. I created a highly functional Retail POS in Access in ~12 work-hours. I would like something similar for web also.
Because a call center is a cost center, is even more of a reason to make it as efficient as possible.

All of the above countries, including countries not mentioned in your example, have the right to order the content to be taken down, following their own country's regulations.

"Taking down content" can range from blocking the site from being accessible from inside the country, to organising measures together with other countries where the site is actually hosted to take down the site at its roots, should the country allow it.

North Korea, China, Russia are prime examples of blocking being heavily used to control the Internet.

A government's model will never be "inadequate" as long as people live there and abide by the country's law because of various incentives (economical, sociological, familial, ...).
Which is more likely, that the Japanese police failed to record the death of an American expat or that Near stopped posting under that username and got a friend to lie for them?
Not well versed enough in neurology, but I thought the “wiring” generally referred to which neural pathways are likely to be triggered, which I think is different than just changes in hormones?
I had a friend with a similar experience at UM.

Pushed out of the PhD program, had to settle for a Masters. Told by many faculty, "Women can't do math". Really impacted her mental health. She got abuse even from female faculty.

Some students were clearly favored over others, for reasons nothing to do with ability or necessarily gender. Rich girls with similar grades didn't have it as bad, for example.

Then of course was the male professors who sort of implied that there was perhaps something that could be done to improve their standing in the school. What that thing was was left unsaid. One doesn't have to wonder.
CF could have said to KF "For various reasons we no longer wish to do business with you. In 24 hours we will stop redirecting to your servers. Please make appropriate arrangements." Had they done this, they would not have actually been censoring KF. They would also have been behaving like a responsible service provider by not cutting off service without notice.

Instead, they seem to have made the decision to do this in a way where they actually block access to KF, rather than in a way where they simply chose to stop doing business with KF. I could be wrong about this; maybe substantial notice was given, and CF reasonably believed that KF could have avoided service disruption. But given that they wrote a bunch of copy to go with this decision, including the copy for the redirect page, I'm inclined to think that this went off exactly as CF intended. They didn't give notice and attempt to prevent their customer from having service disruption because they wanted them to have service disruption, and they wanted everyone to know they wanted this.

CF should not do this. I don't care who KF is or what they've done. CF should either do right by their customers, or stop doing business with them in a responsible way. Not in a way designed to injure their customers. Especially after taking their money, but that's hardly the point.

> When considering other quality of life factors, Canberra easily leads the OECD regional index at a sum of 106.74 vs. 82.81 for California, which also scored 10/10 for income.

Although ... Canberra is also incredibly small, boring and barely anything ever happens while California is a cultural hub.
Almost exactly my point. There’s a fairly strong set of evidence that it’s safety-neutral at worst.
The difference is kiwifarms was built to harass people; those other platforms were not.

Today, anything that could possibly incite violence or impart "otheredness" towards an "oppressed" people group will not do in film, the risk is too high (albeit manufactured from nothing), lest they experience the total condemnation of Twitter for not following the latest narrative and appealing to this very small group of radical activists who are almost singlehandedly dictating what modern multimedia is allowed to portray.
I’ve meditated on and off for the past 6ish years. I never really consciously choose to stop, it’s just a habit I tend to lose and regain often.
> How many of those are "built in into OS unlike the other OSes"?

There are distros where each of the three is shipped with the OS and used to distribute applications that are installed by default, but Flatpak isn't a 'system package manager' in that it doesn't supply things like the libc that lives in /usr/lib or equivalent.

All three are also portable and hermetic enough, though, that they can safely be used on other operating systems without interfering with the base system.

> Whereas I've yet to see a Linux distribution able to install anything per user.

This is the norm on NixOS and GuixSD, the distros based on the Nix and Guix package managers, respectively. That kind of thing is still fairly marginal in the overall Linux landscape. It's also feasible with container-based package managers, which are growing in adoption, Flatpak chief among them.

Both NixOS and GuixSD have their own issues and can present special challenges to users, but the per-user package management functionality works well and is cool to see in action. They're definitely worth playing with in VMs if you haven't used them.

---------

Homebrew has been useful to many people for a long time, and it absolutely excels in UX. But the fundamentals are lacking and it's hard for third-party package managers to cope with Apple's changes on major macOS releases. There are definitely things that could improve for developers with a first-party offering. I get the defensiveness and I understand that Homebrew has strengths, but imo the standard critique along the lines of the OP is essentially correct.
You don’t make large change PRs.

It's quite simple. Either you believe the workers deserve representation or you don't. Business is the intersection of workers and corporations. You need both sitting at the bargaining table to get anything real done.

> It did support a SQL query syntax, which I think makes it distinct from MVS

SQL query support wasn’t added to PICK platforms until the 1990s or thereabouts - at least 10 years after SQL became available on MVS (via DB2, Oracle, etc)
Here is an interesting historical note on the subject: http://www.gsmhistory.com/chapter/chapter-22-unintended-cons...
timsort and pdqsort (two comparison sort methods) and radix sort (a non-comparative sorting algorithm) have different albeit overlapping domains of applicability.

Given a large number of 32-bit integers, radix sort is indeed significantly faster.

While I would reach for a comparison sort method if I had a large number of arbitrary-length Unicode strings, which I wanted to sort in a case-ignoring order.

Also, I found timsort faster than radix sort when there was a small number (as I recall, <100 or so) of elements.

> Arguing pure hypotheticals is rarely productive.

Posing hypotheticals is exactly how to test the limits of the system. It is a key component of the legislative and law making process. The entire field of law, millions of lawyers think about hypotheticals on a daily basis to analyze, write and interpret the law. Humans have evolved to have a dedicated frontal lobe whose job is to predict hypothetical scenarios and conduct cost/benefit/planning analysis. As a software engineer, I write hypothetical inputs to create unit tests so my system doesn't break. Thinking about hypotheticals is basically fundamental to all things in life and the universe.
> the hard part is convincing people to do it

It starts with not repeating concern troll thought terminating cliches every time the subject comes up.
If you demand a rigorous criticism, at least name the study you're referencing.
No, we haven't. We just didn't lose all the freedom of expression yet. But if we stay silent while the federal government "gently leans" on every major venue of discussion to exclude dissenting voices and everybody who really disagrees with the government - then when the government decides the time has come to be less gentle, and eliminate with force what they couldn't eliminate with covert pressure - the battle would be much, much harder. People in the US have a good position in the fight for their freedoms. If they give it up because "we haven't lost all our freedoms yet, just a little bit of them" then when the bit becomes bigger the position would be much worse - because we assented to the smaller infringements and gave up our good position.

Tyranny rarely starts with take-all power grab. It's usually small, "common sense" little things, that establish the basis for more and more power grabs, until the framework is ready for the final strike. This is how it happened in Germany, this is how it happened more recently in Russia. One day you wake up and discover that one of those "extremists", "foreign agents" and "domestic terrorists" that you and everybody else agreed need to be suppressed for the common good - is you. How could that happen?!
I don’t think marketing departments have anything to do with it. I just think Tesla built the first commercially successful EVs and they happened to let software control as much as possible. Now everyone building EVs is mimicking their preference for software, because its simply better. Anything that can be done by software, instead of hardware, should be. Hardware is difficult to change. Software can be updated and upgraded without a mechanic or a visit to a service station.

There's no git command to ignore it, the main repo should merge their changes and then the other person can make a PR on the updated changes.
Gonna be quite direct:

>discussion of swatting on the site, proximal links in time between people being doxxed and being swatted, etc.

what is this proximal link? and if that link is something like 3 days or a week or something, on an open forum, i'm not sure it's that relevant, literally anyone can watch the website without participating for what I understand.

>And then we have screenshots of them figuring out her hotel room immediately after the swatting and engaging in harassment.

I saw the bedsheet investigation, but what harrassment did they engage in? the situation where the orders happenned was in a second hotel, and after a big of digging it wasn't even kiwifarms that got the dox on that one, it was Vile on doxbin[0], and he also admitted to being the one making the orders.

> There's plenty of evidence for the site being used to coordinate unlawful harassment, and moderate evidence for them being used in highly dangerous harassment (e.g. swatting).

what is the evidence for this unlawful harassment, and what is the moderate evidence for the swatting? if all you have is what was posted above for the swatting then we'll agree to disagree, which is fine, what is however the plenty of evidence for the former? And no, that twitter thread really doesn't cut it afaic.

> I think you're engaging in motivated reasoning. It's like if someone is known through extensive evidence to have assaulted others 100x, and there's moderate quality evidence they murdered someone-- arguing that they shouldn't be in jail because you personally don't find the murder evidence convincing enough. OK, um, we disagree about the murder thing, but what about all the other crimes?

Well, here's the thing, I know little about kiwifarms in particular and everyone is saying that there is extensive evidence of other crimes, articles are being written saying that they were the one responsible for swatting people and a thousand other things, and the citation/source rabbit hole just leads to a dead end, or ends up circular, so yes i'm going to have my doubts and at least want to see some of this extensive documented harassment trove, archiving things on the internet is but a couple clicks away.

I'll leave the thread for today for it is getting too late, have a good one.

Ok then. Better to have lead with that if it's going to be a central topic in the article.
You would need an auction to get a good payout. If you only find one smart wealthy investor, they can offer you a take-it-or-leave-it $2 million.

Your choice then becomes take $1 million from the red button, or sell the green button for $2 million.

I imagine most people would take the 2 million, especially because I suspect most people are poor at negotiating when life-changing amounts of money are involved. I have seen many naive people do silly house trades (or missing out on good trades).
i mean, so what? tell me sth that actually improves my life, not useless facts.
What if you criticize Amazon? Should you be banned from using all their services? What if you criticize private enterprise in general? Banned from everything except services provided by the state then? Your interpersonal examples where both people/groups have very little and similar amounts of power. 'Consequences' to speech become dangerous when corporations or even larger groups of people get involved.
No, the two modes of being are:

1) A natural fit with strongly intuitive significance, or 2) a forced fit where representation is the highest goal at the expense of feeling distracting and nonsensical, even to those being represented.
I wouldn't be shocked if those services are compromised.

> You're arguing for a murderous dictator.

I'm not arguing for anybody. You obviously have very strong feelings about this subject. But, please do not attribute to me positions I have not expressed. My actual positions (as stated above):

War kills and maims people.

Killing and maiming people should be avoided.

Russia made statements about why they felt the need for war.

Taking those statements at face value would have caused no harm if they were false-- we would simply be in the same place as we are today with war.

Taking those statements at face value could have saved many Ukrainian and Russian lives if they were true and addressed.

Russia's stated concerns have not been addressed in peace negotiations, so we do not know if war could have been avoided or if the war could be brought to an end sooner.

Russians and Ukrainians are currently killing and maiming each other.

The history of the situation is complicated-- there is more than the typical western narrative encompasses.

Russia must bear responsibility for their decision to go to war. But, the US is possibly antagonistic toward negotiations. At a minimum, the US has not engaged in negotiations nor addressed Russia's stated concerns and thus threw away a potential opportunity to prevent bloodshed.

US/NATO pumping weapons into Ukraine serves to extend the conflict (and the death count) before the inevitable negotiations to end the conflict.

To summarize, I'd prefer if we made an effort to not kill people.
you're example assumes you know what causing the problem though. This is far, far from the case here - "Down syndrome causes decrease in GnRH" does not imply "Low GnRH causes down syndrome", though as I said, if you get lucky it could be responsible for a good number of the symptoms.
I'm specifically referring to you, who's pathetically muddying the waters on some internet forum.
You only speak for yourself, and not very well.

Less gatekeeping? Sure, bring on more women, ... and convicted sex offenders. Diversity is the fabric of the modern workplace!
I’m not criticizing EVs in any way. I’m criticizing the industry trend to use a touch screen to control everything. That trend applies to both EVs and ICE cars if you look at interior car designs over the last few years. I view it as a huge regression.

I don’t see EV sales as relevant here. It doesn’t prove that people are lining up to buy them because of touch screens. There’s a wide variety of reasons to account for sales numbers and for wait lists: great EV cash rebates, high gas prices, the awesome feeling of instant acceleration, supply chain problems with batteries and chips causing multi year wait lists, etc.

People can also get used to lots of surprising changes, even if they’re for the worse, as I’m arguing. If TV manufacturers all started replacing tv remote buttons for touch screens, I’m sure we would eventually get used to it despite it being annoying at first. Likewise, I’ve been forced to get used to the touch screen in my car.

Maybe this is why infrastructure as code feels so obtuse to me, there isn't many opportunities to explain yourself in the code and so most of the communication is done in the docs.

Perhaps there is an opportunity for a more natural language approach to infrastructure as code, but I am not sure how far you can take that since the reality is still a lot of arbitrary delcarations.
Cursorless is indeed fantastic for this! I used it extensively last winter/spring when I couldn't type.
Your comment got me thinking about what I love to write.

And it produced this, which I am loving to write.

Because it is transformative (for me).

Because the realization that what I love to write is writing that transforms me -- a new reification of several ideas that oscillate in my low frequency thoughts.

Which puts writing for money in the light of is-the-money-tranformative? I mean the statistically likely best possible option is getting paid enough to write to quit a less satisfying way of making money. The choice is between proverbially pumping gas and writing for most people, not between two amazingly fulfilling creative options.

To me, the real question is is producing nothing more fulfilling than producing the best I can?

For me, it isn't. YMMV.
Apparently the law did determine in this case, and sought prison as well which is definitely more than I would have called for.
