That needs context.

In 2021, the company was subject to a massive lawsuit and PR disaster after PornHub failed to remove a video of a rape for over 10 fucking years. Not rape as in "sex that turned out to be not consensual after examining the fine points", no. Dragged into a van and gang-raped is what we are talking about.

The victim's story finally got picked up by NYT [0] after the victims pleas, legal attempts etc. to the company fell on deaf ears for, again, over a decade.

After this became widely known, they reluctantly made the change you are talking about.

So yeah.

A co-worker was quite certain that CE3K was prepping the public for a big reveal of alien visitations.
If that's your stance then that's fine. However, the correct approach would have been for Destiny to take legal action, instead of vigilantism.

In addition, the prior comments talk about things that may causally limit freedom of speech. Losing your job does not mean losing your voice.

When it comes to how FoS is constitutionally defined (across several countries), it is worth learning about "fighting words." Nearly every justice system agrees that any goes, except words that may (not merely will) cause imminent harm. The line has to be drawn somewhere.
Nashorn is still maintained too, it’s just no longer in the jdk by default.
> They got what they wanted even though it won’t solve the problem.

There's actually quite a bit of follow up action chasing up both the new providers and hosters. The deplatforming has been shown to work before. Just adding the speedbump of requiring the tor access will kill a lot of interest in continuing the abuse.

Even if you look at the hashtags and the website, you'll see cf wasn't the only target. It's a pretty well planned action, but it's very clearly against kf and not stopping.
I hit the 40 year mark as a full-time professional software developer this year, although I was programming for about 9 years before that.

While I have some technical observations and opinion that have served me well, I would like to take this opportunity to express a non-technical opinion here.

The software industry has become extremely youth-oriented with conspicuous ageist policies. This is a problem as wisdom is ignored or dismissed only to be rediscovered and repackaged commercially time after time, but how does it affect you?

The answer is that you need to plan early for your retirement. With the short job duration and explicit age discrimination in hiring you're probably going to be forced out of the industry before the tradition age. Plan for it.
Wow, it sounds even more interesting than OpenTTD with CargoDist and FIRS.
That is literally their point - past a certain rate, you should be optimizing for something other than pay.
You might be right. Posted by a KF user regarding the threat:

"It's a 2020 account that wasn't active till a month ago with 1 post in the CWC forum and the other 42 in the keffals thread. The post was deletedly nearly instantly, yet within 10 minutes of it being posted Keffals had contacted CF, CF pulled the plug, and articles (which you can find in A&N right now) were being posted. Also it's notable that Keffals removed the quote/reply portion of the post which he accidently revealed before indicating he has an account here. This was so obviously coordinated, it glows more than nuclear blast."
Oh sorry I guess i need to mention that you need to put the text encoder on the cpu (or precompute the text embedding somehow). (Im using a custom codebase to make that possible idk how trivial that is to achieve with StableDiffusionPipeline.) Only the unet and vae should be on the gpu.

For your case with 8 gb you shouldn’t need to do either of those things (run it all on gpu), just make sure you have batch size 1 and are using the fp16 version.
Notes: The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal
The subject of this article is a class 8 semi trailer. The economics in this space accentuate some of Hydrogen’s advantages of Lithium batteries.

For instance, trucks must meet certain maximum weight requirements to be legal on roads due the damage they might otherwise cause. Lithium based batteries store much less energy for a unit of weight, so designers must make a harsh trade off between cargo capacity and range. Toyota claims that their prototype has about twice the range than the BYD 8TT, which is an all electric class 8 semi trailer.

Depending on how the development of batteries progresses, Hydrogen based tracks may end up being the most effective way forward. At least, till there is a fundamental advancement in alternative energy storage mediums.
Why? What happens if I update the invoice address twice?
Wonderful strawman.. but do please try to stick to his argument.
How explosive is hydrogen on its own? Eg if I light a match to a hydrogen leak in air, how bad would it be? I thought it would just burn, without a pure oxygen counterpart. So comparable to petrol.
As intermittent 'renewables' gain traction, 'green hydrogen' will more and more be available:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_hydrogen
The other pictures are better for comparing this.
This argument is so contrived, it's cringe.

You have somehow made a logical equivalence of some benign speech like "criticize private enterprise in general" and then projected that on "every company in the world bans you".

(1) There is always some company willing to sell a product/service for the right price. Even to genocidal maniacs, and especially to everyone who is more socially acceptable.

(2) Every competing company smaller than Amazon wants to steal Amazon's business. If you are banned by the big company, they are likely to want your business. They may use their compassion and willingness to be criticized / reverence for "unlimited freedom of speech" as a competitive advantage.

(3) Every "undesirable" company eventually finds suitable replacements for their vendors. DailyStormer, Parler, 8Chan, InfoWars. They are all still on the internet.

There are legitimate concerns when there is a monopoly / small oligopoly in an industry with no substitutes. And there are legal concerns when governments sanction people/organizations without due process. But your comment wasn't useful to any informed discussion of these topics.
That use-case seems like what git-annex is designed for.
Being an edgelord or even a Nazi is totally legal in the USA. So is hosting violent imagery. These things might be against the TOS of major social media sites, but they're absolutely legal. That said, most people won't want to be around people who do this.

Death threats are generally not legal, but ones that are obvious hyperbole might be. Natural language processing algorithms might be able to identify death threats automatically, but they struggle with hyperbole and sarcasm. But so do humans.
I don't like (government) regulation, but I feel that this should be regulated...

If you're banned from a nightclub, it sucks.. but there are many, many other nightclubs (unless you live in a place small enough to have only one... then it sucks too).

If you're banned from apple, you basically have only google play left, and considering that most people specifically develop for one platform or another, it's usually not just losing half your customer base, but sometimes losing all of it.

Imagine having a potato farm, being able to sell potatos only to walmart, and walmart baning you from selling via them...
That's bad advice for two reasons:

Firstly, non-experiences Python users (the kind who need recipes to follow) will also blindly follow installation instructions on websites. These all say "pip install xxx" and users will inevitably forget they need to change the path to make that work for their environment. By getting into the habit of activating the environment this problem goes away.

Secondly, you do need to activate the venv so that command line tools in ./venv/bin are used (instead of whatever is in your default path).

This includes both the correct version of python (if you set it when you setup the virtual environment) and importantly jupyter. From personal experience there's a whole set of pain when you don't realize your jupyter isn't the one inside the virtual environment and so is using other libraries.

Because many shells cache the location of executables, if you don't deactivate and reactivate your virtual environment after installing Jupyter into it then it may (in some circumstances) use a globally installed version.
It doesn't, no.

I'm currently supervising 2 PhD students whose last name is alphabetically later than mine. I explained my reasons for my preference to them; that's how far I'll go.
With one, we've had multiple collaborations outside the institution. In those cases, alphabetical order was typically arrived upon with all authors. In other cases it depends - we've had quite equal contribution papers which ended up alphabetically. We're now working on one that he conceived and executed. I'm basically the co-writing sparring partner, where I strongly prefer him to be first author.

The other student feels it's important for his career to be first author, so he is. I certainly hope he's wrong (for my career so far it didn't matter), but I'm not taking that chance.
Certainly any operations within the US will be subject to data collection by one three letter agency or another. I'm not sure how much South Korea likes to spy on their own companies, but I think it's a safe bet they're collecting data too.
Kiwi Farms and several other Western far-right websites consider Russia to be a safe haven. They're correct in this assumption if they limit themselves to hate speech against LGBT people and non-white minorities.

However these websites are also blatantly anti-semitic and there is a lot of Holocaust denial going on. Russia has laws against both anti-Jewish hate speech and Holocaust denial.

It will be interesting to witness what happens when the Western far-right collides with their Russian buddy's laws against anti-semitism and Holocaust denial.
It really depends on the country your business is in.

For example in Australia, employers have a duty under workplace health and safety legislation to provide a safe workplace. And similar legislation exists in most countries.

If you have an employee who is receiving death threats, you do nothing about it and then they are killed (or they even just sue you) then you would absolutely be liable.
These figures are certainly bogus. Fabricated by green crusaders that know nothing. Energy footprint is a fabrication.
A passworded zip file would probably be my choice, easy enough to open at the other end even for technologically illiterate people, and doesn't take anything fancy to make.
It should be noted for the record that Kiwi Farms has had a longstanding 'no touch' rule, usually displayed prominently at the top of every page. (It appears to be currently replaced by the admin notifications whilst the site deals with the current state of events.)

Much like the old site Portal of Evil, another best-of-the-worst aggregator from the early internet, making on-site trolling/harassment plans is a great way to get your account banned very quickly ... or becoming a thread topic yourself.
I doubled care someone to get this running on TempleOS to win the weird baroque computing environment trophy.
More false equivalency. Facebook allowed the stream to be broadcast directly from the terrorist for 29 minutes. KiwiFarms simply hosted an archive to avoid it being memory holed.

Context matters and attempts to avoid acknowledging context to create false equivalency is a big reason why most Twitter and Reddit arguments are so-toxic.

Most (almost all in reality) of the Nazi symbolism is from people who are shit-posting and would find the Nazi's rightfully abhorrent.
Thank you Cloudflare for introducing me to this corner of the internet I was blissfully unaware of despite living half of my life on the internet for the last decade.

There's no such thing as bad publicity.
The replies to that thread give you an idea what KF is about.
Covid-19, although it may just be a matter of time.
1) even though those companies have a history of never making money, they do have a history of generating massive capital gains for early investors.

2) no one wants income, because it's taxed at 35%. Everyone wants those massive capital gains taxed at 15%.

3) 14 years of ZIRP and QE meant there was basically unlimited money for anyone willing to gamble and take these positions.

This book is now my favorite of all time. I found that Self-Control has physical markers to be a particularly interesting idea, and that the best index of self control is heart rate variability which can be controlled via slowing your breathing.
JCB is working on hydrogen-powered heavy/plant machinery to replace the existing diesel models. Batteries don’t last long enough for a day of work.
They also have a portable hydrogen cartridge prototype (for cars). It may lead to a way to quickly 'refuel' even a truck.

In most of the world it is not illegal to use nazi symbolism.
I would expect the police to step in if the power was used for a marijuana farm (assuming it's illegal in your jurisdiction of course, skipping the discussion whether it should be illegal).

A corporation deciding to cut off my power without due process because they think there may be a marijuana farm – which may or may not be true – does not sound like something that's desirable.

Either way, I don't think analogies like this are very helpful, because the situations are too different, and the analogy doesn't really help clarify anything IMO.
Langage and script are two completely different and largely orthogonal concerns.

While there is a “floor” to the complexity of a script in its ability to faithfully reproduce a langage, there is no “ceiling”, you can always pile on complexity.

Although I would say that logographic scripts are the other kind of complexity, they’re complicated to learn and use because they’re simplistic in their approach.

Syllabic or alphabetic scripts require higher concepts, but that makes them more flexible and composable.
How many corporate employees can Uber fire and still remain functional?
It's not denial so much as it is not caring to the point where you get upset. I think that's the strength of mind that GP is referring to.
Hahaha, I fondly remember the posts and comments here on HN how Uber is really a play for self-driving robo cabs.

How is Cruise doing, by the way?

Free speech is free speech and must be protected at all costs, even if 99% of people think an idea is reprehensible. These people aren't going to shrug and walk away because a website goes down, they'll congregate somewhere else. The cycle will repeat.

If folks aren't exposed to radical ideologies regularly - if everything they read on a screen is True and Safe - what happens when they stumble across a dark corner of the internet and are exposed for the first time? Censorship erodes our ability to critically evaluate, without actually stamping out the censored topic.
I am not a Kiwifarms user, but since it's now available at the new domain (and according to CF, KF is not cooperating) the threats should still be there. I cannot find them. Can you please link those threats? Otherwise this lends me to believe that the basis of Matthew Prince's sudden reversal on his "free speech" ideals was something else, not the KF content.
While there is truth to what you say, it is greatly, greatly exaggerated.

As a person who delivered pizza through high school, and college, it's just not that bad. And yes, driving 8 hours a night, stop and go, is bad for a car ... regardless if it is pizzas or people being delivered. (Pizza delivery is worse, I'd often deliver 8 pizzas an hour average on Friday nights, try that with people!)

However, I assure you I did not need to spend $500/week on repairs, 20 years ago. That metric has certainly not changed now. An example, by that metric, there are many brand new cars for under $15kUSD (pandemic issues are not part of this argument).

At $500/week income, and by your logic therefore $500 per week in "car repairs", one could buy a new car every 30 weeks, or about twice per year. And as a person who delivered pizza nightly, 8 hours, 5 days per week, you wouldn't even new tires in that 6 months, or brake pads, or ... well.. anything.

Personally, I used to buy used, but where high-cost items are in good shape. EG, transmission, etc, etc. I bought 2 cars in the 6 years I delivered pizza. Each 6+ years old, each only requiring tires, brake pads+rotors from time to time.

When it came time for a big repair? That's when I bolted to the second car.

My point in all of this, is that yes -- you pay for repairs. But the numbers I hear being thrown around, are just extremely excessive.
Isn't their point about the moderation response time when it comes to illegal material? It took Facebook 29 minutes to remove the Christchurch video, while this whole controversy appears to be focused on a post that was up for 14 minutes.

User-generated content is a really hard problem, and we need to set reasonable best practices and guidelines. A small volunteer-run forum won't have 24/7 staff looking for illegal content or handling reports. KiwiFarms isn't a very sympathetic test case, but this example will be considered the precedent going forward for what Cloudflare should remove. If major tech companies can't meet this bar, how can we expect the shrinking hobbyist segment of the internet to manage?
As far as I understand, the people on kiwifarms _also_ try to get their targets fired by enailing their employees and claiming their targets are pedophiles or something like that.
I should start by saying unequivocally that of course this situation is extremely awful and anyone involved not helping deserves to be condemned.

However two things are apparent:

1) this is of course really one-sided, especially the op-ed which punches up the source quite a lot. Here is the source of the 10y story: https://www.ourcommons.ca/Content/Committee/432/ETHI/Brief/B...

2) the original source was upset by the fact the video kept recirculating, not that pornhub refused to take it offline, a lot fo

I'm not saying more couldn't be done, but in that context it makes things slightly different.

There are other problems where filters don't work against everything, you can filter "rape" but "forced", "coerced", "tricked", "rpe", "r4pe" etc; ad infinitum and including greedy matching ("grapeseed"?) would be a near impossible task; though they do try. So the Op-Ed saying they can search '14yo' and get results doesn't surprise me, but that's been quashed by the verified-only system now.

You should also know: A large part of the media backlash against PornHub was the fact that a show called "girls do porn", an otherwise normal seeming show complete with F.B.I warnings and notices about consent: was featuring girls who did not consent and/or were underage. -- in fact most of those stories from the op-ed that I managed to trace were from this.

The issue with the second thing here is that if a business entity looks legitimate and has their paperwork completely in order: there's very little you can do except deciding that you don't want to service them for some other more personal reason.
It sounds like Serenade.ai would be more useful to you. It is more of a complete product, with the ability to add custom commands on top of it. Plus it's open source.

I'm not trying to steal the spotlight from Talon/Cursorless though, they are amazing and super useful. But it is definitely a much more fragmented ecosystem which requires more work.
> and in particular the extent to which private companies should be able to limit speech.

This is incoherent with the idea it's not a government matter. If it's not a government matter, then there's nothing to talk about - Cloudflare can do whatever they like because the law does not bind them otherwise.
Thanks for writing this and I am tempted (pun!) to get the book. And I need to meditate again as a bout of covid and other stuff got me off that wagon.

My exercise physiologist has been encouraging me to vary heart rate when walking (to aid fatigue issues) and then I see the points you make about it and I am super curious about this effect.
Hydrogen fits into several different markets really well. And those opportunities taken together may well outweigh the limitations. Being able to exchange one form of energy for another is useful. Having lots of potential customers is beneficial. That is why I am excited about Hydrogen. The ecosystem is the most important thing and gives a critical mass. Its a big potential ecosystem...

* It can use spare renewable energy.

* It can be made with spare nuclear energy.

* It can be an input for large scale industrial processes like fertilizer production.

* It can be stored in old gas fields.

* It could be blended with natural gas and burned.

* It is a promising airline fuel

* It fits in well with existing oil infrastructure.

* It may be a fuel for vehicles and trains.

And many of these elements could exist within a small area. An oil refinery, chemical works, offshore windfarm, a few modular reactors, gas fields, natural gas exports, rail line, airfield. All within 50km and all potential suppliers and customers.

Although I am a bit uneasy about blue hydrogen!

I had good success with this flow for major changes (both in-house as well as contributing to FOSS). The target was clear & discussed upfront (sans details that pop up during the actual work), and achieved by a series of consecutive PRs. It's important to be constructive, communicate the intent properly and give the other party enough time to digest the info and think properly about it. Obviously this also depends on the maintainers and their mentality.
As a European I would like to say that using normal taxis is an absolutely terrible experience. It’s expensive, no way to get reviews about a driver/select for quality, you’re often not quoted a price up front/you don’t know how much you’ll end up paying/whether their meter is rigged, it’s hard to quickly get a taxi (many independent operators), and the list goes on. I sure hope Uber succeeds in Europe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primum_non_nocere "first, do no harm"

"Non-maleficence, which is derived from the maxim, is one of the principal precepts of bioethics that all students in healthcare are taught in school and is a fundamental principle throughout the world. Another way to state it is that, "given an existing problem, it may be better not to do something, or even to DO NOTHING, THAN TO RISK CAUSING MORE HARM THAN GOOD." It reminds healthcare personnel to consider the possible harm that any intervention might do. It is invoked when debating the use of an intervention that carries an obvious risk of harm but a less certain chance of benefit."
