aksss is being sarcastic. When universities are compared across nations, a frequent retort to the preeminence of the top US universities is "But universities in [insert European country here] are free!". aksss's point is that, as MrBuddyCasino indicated, you tend to get what you pay for.
What's disgusting is that snap configurability is gated after paid option. This means that its intentionally bad for the average users. Well done.
The German criminal code has a pretty good definition; good in the sense that it is limited. It applies to speech that fulfills 4 criteria:

* It happens in public

* it is capable of disturbing the public peace

* it attacks an entire segment of the population

* by inciting hatred, insulting, defaming or calling for violence or arbitrary measures against them.

You'll have a hard time explaining what the value is in allowing speech that fulfulls all of the above.
> I also don't want Twitter mobs and DDoS-ers to have a say in what I can and can't read.

This is honestly what I find the most disturbing about the entire story.

This "keffals" person -- an individual! -- managed to organise enough attention to make all of this happen. From what I understand the argument is based on a threat towards this person, but considering the (public) information they were gathering on them (From what I recall it was stuff like flirting with underaged people, selling HRT drugs via Discord, old sexist tweets, etc.) I don't see why it was not in their interest to pseudo-anonymously have these threats posted themselves. Of course it could just be that some user was stupid enough to post these threats themselves, but I believe the fact remains that "keffals" had more to gain from threats against themselves, since most of what was being posted was perhaps vulgar and certainly impolite, but practically harmless -- more embarrassing for those being "investigated". Just some people with too much time on their hands.

The site is probably going to be resurrected some way, soon enough. I believe hearing that they were considering an onion site. When this happens, I'd be interested to see the post histories of those issuing threats. But of course, since this is a private entity, they have no obligation to look at any evidence that would run contrary to the accusations. Of course this is their right, when considered in isolation, but CloudFlare has become a disproportionately significant player that thinking of them as just another company is rather difficult. In the end this all speaks for the fact that the internet was never intended to work on the scale it does. It is almost a miracle that it appears to do so most of the time ^^.
You're focusing so hard on the rights of kiwifarms that you completely forget that cloudflare also has rights. Cloudflare has the liberty of association, and that includes the right to terminate contracts with others who actively harm Cloudflare and its costumers.

And if Kiwifarms sending out bytes to the internet is free speech, then compelling cloudflare to send those same bytes is impernissible forced speech.
> What's the difference?

The difference is a personal choice versus a government campaign to influence peoples' choices with the goal of eliminate those classes of people the state has deemed "undesirable".

> Would people say it's bad if the rate of Down Syndrome decreased because mothers were younger?

Probably, if the change was due to the government trying to convince people older than 25 not to have children.

HN and Matthew Prince really struggling with these two things:

1. A company can arbitrarily do whatever it wants within the confines of the law. Additionally a company's chief executive and/or leadership team can do whatever it wants so long is it is not in breach of their bylaws and/or they have the support of the board.

2. A company which is publicly traded is beholden to public perception if it affects current and future shareholders views on share price and health of the company. If shareholders believe being associated with potentially illegal activity means Cloudflare could be open to lawsuits, then leadership kicks off that activity. Leadership can't give an honest answer on this because it would admit they were worried about being complicit in illegal activity. This is why you see the response of 'we don't believe this is our responsibility, we're just a neutral entity' PR spin.

To return to OP's post, Cloudflare directly benefits by letting DDoS-for-hire operators use their service. They've been informed of this, this post is one of many on the topic. If you go a few comments back in my comment history you'll note I mentioned Cloudflare also pulled down sex worker sites in the fallout from SESTA being enacted. Why didn't they make the same argument then? Unlike SESTA at the time the caselaw on CFAA supports that DDoS-for-hire is illegal activity, going back a little over 10 years with plenty of prosecutions. The US prosecutor handbook on it was updated around 2010 to add it https://www.justice.gov/criminal/file/442156/download, the last time I remember anyone trying to claim it was legitimate protest was back in 2013 when some Anonymous indictments were handed out. Cloudflare also responds to DMCA takedowns even though they don't host the content, why would they do that if there's no liability?

Lets break it down a little more then: If my business is damaged because my website gets DDoS'd by a protected service Cloudflare knows will make me require the purchase of a service like theirs, why wouldn't I name them as a conspirator in a legal complaint?
I've clocked 51 years of programming, started at 13, I'll retire next year, but wont stop programming.

I agree, but order isn't the way to do that, as it could mean you did 49% or 4%. A better system would be to just explain what each author did.
Coconut battery shows how much power your battery is charging with. I've only used this to compare power supplies, but I don't see why it shouldn't work with cables as well. Of course that only works when the battery is empty enough to actually fast charge.

no y axis, just text written on random bars. big year gaps that don't really add to the narrative.

I get you're retelling the paragraph you wrote before in a visual format. It's hard to read and doesn't add much.

True, they are all very cautious not to let bad actors generate bad content.

Where "bad actors" are defined as "people who disagree with us", and "bad content" is defined as "things we don't want to see".

Needless to say, the list of bad actors never includes the authors themselves, and the list of unacceptable applications never includes anything the authors had in mind.
I suspect only needing to learn a dozen alphanumeric characters vs hundreds/thousands of unique characters also helped literacy
Slower startup, worse responsiveness, higher CPU and RAM usage, could hog CPU even at idle.
I’ve got 15 years paid experience. I’ve never worked on a single project that had significant unit tests. But I’ve mostly worked in 3D games where unit tests are exceedingly difficult for anything beyond utility libraries.

There’s no standard definition of “senior”. Hell, most companies internally don’t even have a clear definition!

At a lot of places you can reach “senior” in just 3 to 5 years. Suffice to say not all seniors are equivalent. And that’s fine. All titles are arbitrary and made up.
Yep. The government is limited in its powers here exactly so that people are treated fairly and loud factions don’t unduly oppress others.
This applies just as much if not more in a closed team setting.

Personally I blame juniors that insist on using the git CLI instead of a million visual GUIs to git. They get told just do a git commit, have no idea what they changed so can't produce a meaningful commit message, and because it's the command line good luck getting a visual representation of what you're committing.
Internally they didn't miss the boat. They literally were on the boat and were crushing it. But they failed to make actual products and continued selling crappy Synbian based phones.
Your comment is about 10 years out of date. Possibly more.

VMWare usage is actually on the decline now with many companies switching to cloud services (which are generally running Xen). And containerisation, while not a like-for-like replacement for virtualisation, has also eaten aware at some of VMWares market share. Particularly with services like k8s. Those that are dependent on running Windows might still use VMWare but Microsoft Hyper V has also eaten away at VMWares market share too.
I feel that, if cloudfare wants to be neutral, they should simply do that.

In my eyes, as long as they dont break any laws themselves, they are okay.
US metrics based on research programs for how good a university is don't apply to Europe. Comparisons based on those are worthless and the fact it is still being done frequently can be attributed to either incompetence or malice.
> I’m not defending them and what they’re doing to Keffals is beyond wrong but what does this hope to accomplish?

The whole gay cakes debacle resulted in jurisprudence that supports the right of businesses to refuse service on the grounds of "a genuine objection in conscience".

imho:

- Heavy and slow (Use a lot of RAM and CPU, laptop definitely won't be happy)

- Large installation size (about 120Mb)

- Security problems
It's incredible that cloudflare compares itself to a firefighter answering all calls wherever they come from. They are more like a private security company working for a mafia boss that pays them well.
Freedom of speech isn't about speech. It's about hearing. There are people who want to read or listen to what others have to say, and often for reasons besides agreement with the author's statements. By silencing someone, you are preventing others from reading what they want to read or hearing what they want to hear. I certainly don't agree with the posts and comments on kiwifarms, but I want to understand what they believe and why. Also, there is a diamond in that dung heap of a website. Kiwifarms users archive tons of stuff, and those archives are very valuable.

Moreover, I cannot help but notice the double standard you've created. You still provide services to godhatesfags.com. Hell, cloudflare provides DDoS protection for ISIS content. How can you say that kiwifarms is too dangerous when you're ensuring that copies of Inspire and Dabiq are available for extremists to read? If you want to talk about dangerous content, go after the people who claim that they want to murder innocent people and have done so many times in the past.

All the more reason not to make it any more complicated than necessary (even if it's in the expense of some code elegance). Not just for other people, but also for the future you, coming to maintain this. Going back to your code after three years, and someone else approaching the code for the first time are not that much different.

Also this is why I love automation, like scripts for everything. It's like a memo to your future self, with the side benefit of sparing you menial work. I keep even single one liner commands as their own shell scripts with a descriptive name.

Try to read and understand everything your write. If it doesn't click immediately or needs too much outside context or "working memory", make it simpler. Failing that, elaborate in comments.
I'm not suggesting anybody do that, I'm suggesting that people move to SF for work because the pay makes up for the perks you get elsewhere. Europeans software engineers are better off moving to SF, working for a year, then moving back. Many people do this, mostly for multiple years.
I don't really believe that, as using chinese characters would lead to a much higher information density compared to using alphabet, which in turn would've tuned out to make books much lighter and being able to print more pages on one sheet, compared to two with the same informational value in western languages.

If this is true, explain police protection. Or restraining order.

i'm ashamed of all the people who stand up and defend nazis, fascists, and cyber-bullying and doxxing. this isn't about sensitivity it's about vile human actions, and viewpoints like yours are what allowed for fascism to spread in europe, asia, and america.
Other industries definitely have it better in regards to mentorship and passing the torch on so to speak. I've not once seen an apprenticeship style program for software developers, even though it's the perfect industry for it. There's not really a graceful ageing out process for the industry either. It seems the only pathways are moving up into management. At that point, often your software engineering knowledge gets put to the side, and new developers don't get access to it.

I've worked a few times with people I thought were just leadership jockeys their whole career, and then it turns out they were actually software developers for 20 years prior to that. They had all pretty much washed their hands of software, and their attitude was "Well, what would I know now. Not really my scene anymore.". That's a lot of experience thrown out the window.
If your platform is trash just opening it up doesn't matter.

And their linux based phones were pretty open but they had no power in the organization and having an open source platform with no phones is pointless.

>Now he reckoned that he has the most problems with European cars, most of which are considered premium or mid level brands in Australia.

Was this a surprise to you? Here in the US it's well known that European cars (including the expensive brands) are across the board worst in reliability, Japanese cars are the most reliable, and the US brands are in between.
Just to clarify, his parents were from Hong Kong. Terrence was born, raised, and schooled in Adelaide, Australia. He completed his Bachelors and Masters at Flinders University by the age of 16.
First of all, homosexual and trans people don't require the same amount of dedication from their parents to live a half-way decent life as children with Downs syndrome do. In fact, homosexual people don't require any extra care, and trans people barely more than that (depending on access to free Healthcare).

Second of all, there just isn't, and can't be, a right to be born. The hypothetical person who would turn out of if a fertilized egg is carried to term has no innate rights until they actually do get born (or, well, somewhere near - not trying to justify late term abortions or anything). At least, this is the case if you believe a right to voluntary abortion should exist at all.

Theoretically, I don't see anything unethical about aborting a fetus with some hypothetical gay gene, nor do I see anything unethical about aborting a fetus with a gene for black hair instead of blond.

In practice though, assuming the screening is not happening very early in the pregnancy, it would seem strange for expecting parents to throw away their excitement after a month of pregnancy because of such shallow reasons. I don't think the same strangeness applies though for more life-impacting conditions, like Down syndrome (or like severe non-verbal autism, if it could be screened for).

The fact that the born child would be a precious life that no one would have the right to attack or judge for their illnesses in no way reflects back in time to before they were a child.
Yet somehow people like this manage to employ and fund the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people, established an ecosystem of skilled engineers, and deliver products that run huge swathes of the economy. I’m no particular fan of Ellison, but I’ve worked for a billionaire when he made his money, Mo Ibrahim. Just the nicest guy. His technical smarts and business sense helped launch a key stage in my career and I’ll always be grateful. He deserved every penny he made and everyone I know that worked for any of his companies, and his customers, did very well out of his hard work.

How many careers have you supported? How many products did you conceive and design that transformed an industry? How many families were fed and clothed by wages from your companies? I doubt you’ve done as much good for as many people in your whole life as Mo Ibrahim did in a day at the office. Now he’s off working to transform political culture in Africa.
I must have missed the part where I was hired to define words for humanity.

I was just offering my opinion that there are people on this planet who have caused unspeakable misery not just genocide but industrialised misery. And that throwing around the term evil to apply to a tough and unquestionably unethical businessman devalues it.
Well in this economy, that's a huge win as well and I shouldn't be regarded as a negative aspect.
Be aware home owners that share a building (apartment building) are by law required to setup an organisation to manage the building. These organisations are called VVE (Vereniging van Eigenaren - Organisation of Owners). These organisations /should/ make a plan regarding the foundations if it's relevant for the building. There's also some regulations in place on the minimum amount of money the organisation should put in a savings account monthly IIRC (a percentage of rebuild value of the building perhaps).

Certainly when I lived in The Netherlands (city of Dordrecht, with similar issue) we saved money each month through our VVE to eventually replace the foundations and also take care of other issues regarding the building.

I think in The Netherlands you can't really expect the municipal governments to foot this bill, as they've been trying to push this bill to home owners for a long while now. Even though, in my city at the time, many home owners felt the government was responsible the declining ground water level, but I think a judge ruled otherwise at some point.
No, you don't even need the condition system to break out of nested iteration.

(loop named loop-a do
(loop named loop-b do
(loop named loop-c do
(return-from loop-b)))
(return-from loop-a 42))

Under the hood, this uses CL:BLOCK; you can also use it yourself to mark where you want to be able to return from within the lexical scope of your code.

Really?

I once saw an old YouTube video that claimed that some hanzi are super obscure and even native Chinese have to look them up sometimes when wanting to use them, and gave the example of "sneeze".

I asked my Shanghai born coworker, who led the local Chinese friendship society, about this, and he furrowed his brow and said "...shit, actually, yeah, I'd need to look that up myself."

This is merely one anecdote, of course,

There's information density, but there's also information accessibility. And the trick is finding the balance between the two.

Having 8000 characters (in simplified Chinese) may be information dense, but how accessible is that information? E.g., a typical Chinese university graduate will know, on average, 3 -4K of them, and no doubt ones that are unused will atrophy over the years.

The balance between density and accessibility is always ongoing.
E.g., I find reading presentation slides with a transcript far more information dense than watching a video of that presentation, but some people find it far more accessible in video form. And then for complex discussions, I find video calls far more information dense than Slack message or email exchanges.
What pretense? I have already read other comments before posting.

It is unpleasant for you to be on the other is of this argument? May be that is.

I am wondering why you had a prenatious tone.
> most of what was being posted was perhaps vulgar and certainly impolite, but practically harmless

It was this mild but cloudflare took it down?
You have nailed it.
i too enjoy supporting fascist and right wing groups whose only goal is to spread hatred anarchy and violence.

CF is not the internet, nor is it a government. you can always found or find a provider for your hate speech, just like KF did with an .RU domain.

your viewpoint is the terrifying one, and quite frankly one that has been used over the decades to allow hateful bullshit in the name of "tolerance" and has caused undue harm and death.

your philosophical pure idea of freedom of speech is just that-- it does not work in the real world.
As everybody at the time was pointing out. If you are unwilling to make your own platform (Maemo/MeGoo) work, then just make Andoird phones. It wasn't really tha difficult and many people had been screaming about this since 2009.

But instead they just continued with the Symbian feature phones that nobody wanted.
