> Nobody puts him in jail. Nobody takes away his right to make a living or his children or his home

We're way, way past that standard. We're way past when ACLU was defending Nazi's right to speak and were proud of it. Nobody would even think about doing this now. In fact, if you defend a "wrong" client as a lawyer, you may lose your whole career now and become unperson among your peers. If you say a wrong thing publicly, your right to make a living will very likely be taken away, and your physical security would be in serious danger. Your home - if you can keep it while being denied income - surely. But in some countries they government also may lock your bank accounts. Hope you don't have a mortgage and have enough cash stashed to pay your utility bills, because otherwise your house is going bye-bye.

As for jail, no, the US is not there yet. Other countries on the West already very much so, so I wonder for how long that one would hold. After all, the government is already talking about a "clear and present danger" from their political opponents - and this is not a random set of words. This is the legal standard that until 1969 was being used to jail people for saying wrong things. So we may be just one SCOTUS ruling away from going back there. Current SCOTUS may not be willing to do it, but judges are retiring, they are mortal, and then there's talk about court packing... The ice is very thin.
So if someone doesn't like what you say (and I presume there are plenty such people), do they have the right to DDoS you too?
Just to be clear this is of course not a threat or anything. I really want to know when you think that speech becomes punishable and who is supposed to decide that.
I stand by my assessment. It's underrated in that few people are aware of it or see it as a good movie. In the sense that it is well regarded by most who has seen it (it has 7.1 of ~72K votes on IMDB), it can also be reasonable to not describe it as underrated, so fair enough.

But I choose to go by the former - far fewer people are aware of it or would list it as an important sci-fi/cyberpunk movie than it deserves.
Why is that question relevant?
@dang, can we link the actual journal article[0] instead of the embellished advert to eat more red meat?

Also, generally, diet is political in nature and I don't see its place here on HN. Had this article focused on something else, like the replication crisis as it pertains to nutrition research (like some of the comments seem to think), instead of promoting specific dietary views, I could see a healthy discussion starting. However, as it stands, there is nothing in the comments that is related to the article and productive. This seems to be a common trend, I can email you a list of links, if you're interested.

---

For my own edification; some thoughts after reading the journal, the comments and some supplementary links. I'm trying not to put on a tinfoil hat and I could be missing the point on some of these.

- The author performs funded research by and holds shares in an agri-tech company with a focus on poultry and swine[1]. This isn't an immediate conflict of interest in my mind (food professionals are commonly hired by agribusinesses), but just glancing at her previous publications[2], it's hard to find her arguing against livestock consumption in any way.

- What exactly are the 'serious errors' mentioned, specific to red meat consumption? The article's primary concerns seems to be that the GBD 2019 risk factor analysis[3] a) Changes the TMREL (theoretical minimum risk exposure level) for risks to be 0 (this isn't just for red meat) b) Categorizes red meat as a risk factor in the first place c) Fails to match up with other systematic reviews put up by other research organizations. One organization mentioned, NutriRECS[4], has substantial ties to the meat industry[5]

- The article fails to mention the fact that GBD groups "dietary factors" into one when linking to death, AND that there was decrease in diet-related burdens[6]. I don't see anywhere that the GDP study says red meat definitively equals more death. It's mentioned as an increased risk factor, but not elaborated on. Additionally, I don't know where this article's authors got their "36-fold" increase from. Could someone help me find that?

- I'm confused more about what a quality diet should be after reading this piece. So, it seems as though the article is successful.

I have no proof that the person who called the police and said they are not AltisticRight from the Kiwi Farms was not really AltisticRight from the Kiwi Farms.

But again, use a little critical thinking. Most of the time people do not gleefully name themselves after they have committed a major crime.
I wasn't invoking any kind of woo woo, but at the same time it's easy to say "this is computable" when in reality it's not computable at all because we can't actually construct such a simulation. We have the computing power today to simulate a brain if we were so inclined.

It really comes down to: can you provide the value we need in this area. That value might be "validate experimental research is implementable", or "perform a spike to de-risk a future effort".

There's a fog of uncertainty that gets impenetrable past a certain time horizon. We need businesses that are capable of forging ahead into the unknown, being honest about the level of confidence given our knowledge at the time. I don't see that approach coming out of MBA schools, and I think Elon's approach is in marked contrast to that.

In many ways old school grassroots agile has penetrated the lower levels of the org (to some degree), but the upper levels haven't changed in decades, and this impedance mismatch is most visible in the rigidity of planning (which is also forced on them by outside pressures).
While digging up a link for a separate comment, I found (https://macoscontainers.org/) which points to: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/discussions/5525
The article is pretty lite, though I agree with most of the points.

However, I think that, especially in the context context of Kubernetes, this part is completely wrong:

> Containers were a great advance, but much of their complexity falls into the “accidental” category. There’s no fundamental reason that I should need anything except my compiler to produce a universally deployable unit of code.

Containers are not used in Kubernetes or other similar orchestrators because of their support for bundling dependencies - that is a bonus at best.

Instead, they are used because they are a standard way of using cgroups to tightly control what pieces of the system a process has access to, so that multiple processes running on the same system can't accidentally affect each other, and so that a process can't accidentally depend on the system it is running on (including things like open ports). These are key properties for a system that seeks to efficiently distribute workloads on a number of computers without having to understand the specifics of what workload it's running.

They are also used because container registries are a ready made secure Linux distribution-agnostic way of retrieving software and referring to it with a unique name. quay.io/python:3.7 will work on Ubuntu, SuSE, RedHat or any other base system, unlike relying on apt/yum/etc.
I’ve found talking to my developers regularly tells me when there are issues and what they are, and we can solve the issues together. While I could have seen the trend in a velocity chart the act of collecting velocity data is both time consuming, tedious, and feels like micromanagement to those being measured. I have literally never seen a velocity chart tell me something more easily observed by taking team and individual temperature consistently. I’ve found managers who depend on metrics to be terrible at empathetic listening, and I avoid hiring them.
It all depends on the clutch to me. My ADHD is so satisfied by a manual. I’m engaged in the machine. It’s fun and you don’t need a real sports car.

But paddle shifters do nothing for me. There’s no feel to it. It’s more like 3 on the tree.

If the clutch gives it feel and control, I’m in.

Sadly, finding a real manual is hard these days. Most cars don’t offer them. My Honda is stuck in 1 package with a mid-2000s style dash. Still fun to drive.

I should look and see if I could retrofit an Apple Car Play/ Android Auto system in it…
>The threat is somewhat unique from something like Photoshop as well, because the barrier to entry is much much lower quality can be much much higher.

I disagree. The quality in an image editor would be much much higher and more consistent. The barrier to entry of using an image editor in such a way is very low. The barrier to entry to fine tune a model to someone you know is very high.

I agree with the rest of what you say.

I agree with this, mostly. I've worked at many a company where I've inherited the work of developers who built towards an expected view of the future. That expected future, of course, never quite lined up with the future that did come to pass. So a lot of extra work building out the wrong abstraction lead to a lot more work to undo it.

I would disagree with you only that I'm not familiar with a time when premature monitoring was added that caused me a lot of pain. If anything, the opposite has been true. Can you explain what you mean there?
Nick Fuentes is definitely a nazi, which is in no way incompatible with him being an antisocial moron. Just because KF mocks Fuentes doesn't mean they're the only or even a canonical source of embarrassing info about him. Also, anyone who studies extremism can tell you that every extremist movement is rife with infighting and petty interpersonal rivalries.

I thought the GP comment was wild, but "I just got my welfare check, time to hire a lawyer" is an even stranger take.

Suing people is unpleasant and expensive and tends to favor people with money who can afford to hire effective lawyers, very few of whom will work for so little that they can be afforded on welfare. If people on welfare are suing someone, it's probably because they actually have a grievance with them and feel legally wronged, regardless of whether their lawsuits are frivolous or not.

I don't think anyone on welfare is thinking, "the most enjoyable way for me to spend this money is to get involved in a legal process." If a lot of Kiwi Farms lawsuits come from people who are jobless and on disability, I think the more likely conclusion is that it might have something to do with who the site's common targets were.
> Solar and wind have so far not been nearly adequate to charge existing EVs, let alone what would be necessary if we all converted to EVs.

This is categorically false.

We already produce >10x as much wind energy alone that all BEVs in the US consume.

We already produce orders of magnitude more hydro electricity than we need for every passenger vehicle in the US to be a BEV.
It has nothing to do with being good or bad. Might is right. Being morally good doesn't prevent harm from coming to you unless an effectively mightier faction deters it.

It’s to be expected that we hear more about the idiots who get caught.
Source? I've heard this, and I've heard it's a common myth / urban legend. There's a lot of similar myths, like that "interstates have a lot of straight sections to allow for an airplane to land in an emergency"

I did read a well researched book (The Big Roads by Earl Swift) on the US highway and interstate system's creations, and I don't recall that being mentioned as a primary motivation. The main motivation for beltways and such really was just "alleviating congestion"

I didn't bother looking this up yet again to reconfirm I'm not misremembering, but I think the onus is on you here since it's a weird claim even if oft repeated.

Edit: I immediately looked it up anyway. Military thinking did factor in in early planning/rabblerousing regarding highway construction, but this was very abstract and DECADES prior to the main effort of highway construction. There is not really a strong historical connection, and the military did not play a leading role or even much of a supporting one, at the time the interstates were actually built much later.

At the time most interstates were built, the main justification for Congress to spend the money was civilian use for alleviating congestion, which is why (Eisenhower famously was baffled by this) the focus was on intracity expressways, not intercity ones.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway_System#Plan...

I would guess the biggest reason for this myth is they were built under the executive sponsorship of Eisenhower, who at some point mentioned the anecdote that as a young man he had coincidentally been involved as a junior officer in an experimental military convoy from coast to coast in the 1910s. Ironically, Eisenhower's connection to both was peripheral. In one he was just one of many cogs in the machine, in the other, decades later in life, he was just the guy who did the politically expedient thing and signed on the dotted line for plans that had been developed and advocated by others. But there was no causal relationship between these two events.

Of course, people love a good story, so this quickly mutated into "General-turned-President Eisenhower remembered how bad the roads were for the military and masterminded the interstate system to fix that problem" which is a complete mischaracterization. He was a very, vey popular figure in his day so modest mistakes like that that made him look better were not likely to be corrected. For one of the main generals who "won world war two" it would have been a believable claim, as well as something one would _want_ to believe.

The reality is the big roads came about for the boring reason that cars were becoming more popular.
Firstly I don't understand who you are "answering" to, the GP didn't talk about Market Cap as a relevant metric.

Secondly, Market Cap is only relevant when reported by popular metrics websites which vet their data sources a little... nobody relevant is listing your coin anywhere, sorry if it disappoints you.

Thirdly, I'm sure that in your first year as a veteran you will learn to care for coins/token which have liquidity/volume either on reputable CEXs or in tokens/networks with a good track record on DEXs.

You can't really game liquidity for long without risking your capital.

I know this is HN, so I would expect less low brow criticism... but who am I kidding this is about cryptocurrencies, rules don't apply.

A negotiated "settlement" in Ukraine could only mean allowing Russia to annex the eastern and southern parts of the country. At least for now, until they come back a few years later and take the rest of Ukraine along with Moldova, part of Lithuania, and so on. Negotiating with the Putin regime is utterly pointless.
One of the most engaging pieces I've ever read.
I don't know if it's still the case in the UK with Brexit, but in France and, I think, the whole of EU, electricity prices are pegged to gas prices [0].

They're looking to change this.

[0] https://www.politico.eu/article/pressure-for-eu-level-interv...

In particular:

Part of the problem is that the price of electricity is pegged to the price of the most expensive fuel required to meet demand for each day, called the merit order, which recently has been natural gas. And with Russia’s Gazprom curbing flows — paired with other global supply chain difficulties — the price of gas has risen to eye-watering levels, sending power prices soaring.
Yea I get that part.

Many hospitals in the US are private entities.

They are absolutely forbidden to refuse emergency care to stabilize, and forbidden to turn away a woman in labor. By law. No matter how private they are, if they are open they must provide care or arrange for it to be provided.

Similar regulations cover many private businesses - only some of which are utilities.
Tor and crypto are sophisticated but they don't actually provide that much extra protection to criminals - as can be seen by the Silk Road prosecution. All Tor does is change where the weakest link in your opsec is.

Fires kill people. As do bombs. As in bomb threats levied to intimidate someone into not speaking. Nobody is dying because Kiwi Farms is being DDOS’d. If there is a side antithetical to free speech in this discussion, it’s the group threatening to assault people whose speech they disagree with. Not those asking them to take their business elsewhere.
These methods perform poorly on audio, so even worse on compressed audio. Just try it on a wav and a flac file.

Wtf are you talking about, the pilot of Breaking Bad was a great hook and draws people in. It sets up the world amazingly well.

Also, this is a 1h show, so you have 2 hours, that is the length of a full movie. And people review movies all the time.

People also reviewed the first to episodes of House of the Dragon.

If he doesn't think that Cloudflare should hold any responsibility for illegal or criminal activity using their services, then I welcome them being treated as a utility and subject to all of the regulation that that would entail.
> The Colossus computer, with thousands of vacuum tubes, was the first practical use for computation, in 1943.

I don't think this is true. Perhaps the Colossus is what we would call the "first computer" by some definition but electro mechanical computing devices built for specific purposes preceded it. There wasn't a 60 year gap of investment with no practical application of classical computing.

Classical computing was built up over time with practical utilith along the wya. The vacuum tube eventually became a useful component of it.

That solution might be obvious, but it is also obvious that negotiating settlement with terrorists is not a good idea in a long run.
One thing I find troubling about environmentalism is that the tendency to try to make everything more energy efficient/ optimized for the environment risks throwing the baby out with the bathwater in a few ways:

-More expensive energy directly leads to less energy-intensive activity, and a lot of this energy-intensive activity is the sort of activity that helps human flourishing.

-A tendency to regulate activity such that the most energy-optimized activity is the only allowable/ affordable activity.

-Regulating away the ability to do things, especially things that have questionable externalities and the regulators don't see the immediate value of. Is it really a good thing that the Netherlands is destroying the livelihoods of farmers to protect natural areas from Nitrogen emissions? Who quantified the harm associated with the nitrogen emissions? How does this harm food security in the Netherlands? How does this fare in relation to the fact that energy independence and food independence go hand-in-hand, at a time when there is a global fertilizer shortage and a European energy shortage? Seems short-sighted to me.
In other news, IMDB (which Amazon owns it seems) has a strange bug (certainly an accident and coincidence /s) that you can't see any of the written reviews of Rings of Power that are under 6 stars. And yet, House of the Dragon works just fine in that department. How very odd.
>If someone is the leader of a mafia and it is known without a doubt and you know their location you should call the police not put it in the news.

Fair enough.

>What does "government leader" means?

>what does "anyone in a position of power" actually means?

I'm not a lawmaker, it's one of those "you know it when you see it" things.

>Man it really didn't take long for people to forget things like the CNN reddit kid dox or even more recent the twitter account from tiktok dox by journalists active still today.

That's exactly why I put the above caveat.
This studied fourth and fifth graders. However I might add my one irrelevant anecdotal data point from when I was in 10th grade 20 years ago. In an attempt to "cheat" at Chemistry class I wrote a stoichiometry equation balancer with step by step answers on a TI-83. I wrote various solvers for Physics class and Stats class. Working through all the edge cases of these problems helped immensely. Fourth and fifth graders just don't have as many opportunities to apply programming to the real world.
Things will get better, not worse. Just watch. Nihilists need to sit on the sidelines where they belong.
