McCarthyism was how this played out in the states. Not as brutal and bloody, but lives were still ruined.

In theory it’s unconstitutional here to prosecute someone for an act they committed before there was a law against it. But there are other ways to convict someone, for better or worse.

Corporations leverage this all the time, so they go unpunished unless it’s in the court of public opinion. The toolset is necessary but the power dynamics are important.
Thanks - had no idea about that. Enabling it now.
Heh…I remember attending a Java dev conference in 2006 where attendees thought the mention of using NetBeans for professional development was a joke. Like the presenter prefaced a statement with, “if you use NetBeans…” and he wasn’t able to finish the sentence over the noise from the whole room erupting in laughter.

It has literally been a joke for at least 16 years.
I really don't agree with this.

What we have here is an enthusiastic hacker wanting to go down the rabbit hole of writing a hardware driver. That's no easy task (like you point out), and answers like this are not helpful at all.

The answer is discouraging and seem to only sow doubt in OPs mind. Let him find out how hard it is. May I remind that this website is called "Hacker News".

Let the voting suggest the venue for the question - it hit the front page of hacker news.
Macrophages/white blood cells who wish to save you from those stuck particles.

The real question is what causes the blood vessel walls to get damaged (since the scar tissue is the healing response of the body, but if the damage keeps on piling it grows too much instead of being gradually reduced over time).

The problem is that there are millions of causes of inflamation etc...

In general the best answer is "modern diet" full of sugars + fat at the same time.

Carbs in high doses are poisonus, there is a reason the the lives of diabetics end in limb amputation, blindness and severe pain due to nerve damage due to sugar destroying them from the inside out...
Fire 115,000 hard working Americans just because they've unionized? This is surely the most idiotic opinion I've ever seen on Hacker News (although I've only been here a year or two). I know HN can trend conservative but come on.
No, they could not use it. I'm pretty sure the satellites turn off their transmitters and receivers when passing over unlicensed countries (if for no other reason than to save power).
The point is that if HFCS was replaced with table sugar it would be 90% as bad and essentially the same in the grand scheme of things. This is why I cook 80% (approx) of my own food. I do eat out occassionally I suppose but most of my food comes from raw ingredients where I control what goes in. It's also far cheaper.
Indeed. Without veering of into another discussion, other enforcement includes apps and phone monitoring. This isn't limited to other apps on a phone but firmware, input methods, even simply switching IPs.

As well as VPNs existing, international sim cards also 'bypass' internet filtering. Absolute restriction of the internet is not the goal. The goal is to not allow anything approaching a critical mass to do so, especially less technically literate who would not seek out VPNs etc unless they were marketed to or directly facilitated. The next is to all but remove the browser, email is truly dead having never been a big thing socially, with a domestic app orientated landscape; mobile penetration is far beyond lap/desktop.

This doesn't make it better, but it is how it is.

A couple of people were nice enough to take the time to explain Lisp macros to me in case you're interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32730470

Having a public place to send demo logs is fine. Sending logs there by default, rather than having to opt in to demo mode, is bad. The default should be to fail to start unless credentials for the data store are provided. Or alternatively store to the local filesystem by default.

The people getting arrested in the streets of Edinburgh were the same people who have been arguing to take away free speech and privacy rights from others. They got very little sympathy from the pro-free-speech crowd because they are decidedly anti-free-speech. They are now reaping what they have sowed.

The sad part is that they, and all of their supporters, will probably go back to agitating against free speech after this whole thing blows over.

Me too. I've also been trying to learn more about OOP and reading "Smalltalk, Objects and Design" bc I heard a lot about how Smalltalk is the real, good OOP. But there were points I just felt squeamish, like when they were talking about the danger of the difference of effect vs. output on methods where I felt anxiety and thinking "ooo, why would I wanna do that??" I can just feel my code getting messier...

Some ideas like using polymorhism to avoid branching conditionals was interesting though and I'm sure there's times it can be helpful.
You need to learn about capital markets. This is barely coherent.
Well, if you hover over various countries where it’s not yet available, it will tell you when they estimate that it will be available. Nigeria says “Q4 2022”, which is not very far away. In order to be sure of having service available in a month or two, they have surely already built a ground station or two, printed some instruction booklets in Nigerian, hired some Nigerian sales reps, etc.

Sure. But what is known about atherosclerosis is that plaques are not _on_ the arterial wall, but _inside_ the arterial wall. For plagues to form, fats have to be pulled into the arterial wall. How does this happen? Inflammation as designed opens up the arterial wall as a way to allow immune cells passage. Atherosclerosis happens when you have a bunch of fat in your arteries and you open them up to go inside. That's why cheeseburgers and pizza are the perfect heart disease vectors (Western diet). The bread parts cause inflammation via innate immunity (saccharomyces receptors) and the saturated fat parts (cheese and meat) flow in.

With this kind of uncertainty, is it any wonder that many people don't trust medical science when we are told to behave in a certain way, or when we are told to take a certain medical treatment?

How many years have we been told that saturated fat is the nutritional devil? This is a great example of why censorship of "misinformation" is not justified- who is to say what constitutes misinformation?
Well, no crypto expert ever predicted this. The idea of NFT's has pretty much been discounted by everyone in the crypto community for a decade, until they randomly became a fad in 2021. So I wouldn't say it's very easy to imagine.

Smart contracts backing more real world assets has a slightly higher chance of becoming a thing, but even with those the value isn't super clear. The whole idea of tracking ownership is that it's backed by authority to enforce it, and the whole idea of cryptocurrency is that it works without authority.

If you think NFT you think about that vague thing that has no bearing on the real world. Bitcoin is the magic technology that manages to be scarce and be manifest in the real world despite being fully digital and networked. Ethereum managed to one-up Bitcoin with the smart contracts of which the DAI stablecoin which anchors itself to the real world currency without relying on authority.

NFT's basically are the exact opposite of the sort of thing cryptocurrency offers as value to the real world.
And no net neutrality.

The best tool I've ever used for this no longer exists, as far as I'm aware. It was circa 1991, a spectacular lightweight Macintosh application called "Inspiration." There currently exists software in the same lane with the same name - but if there's any blood relation between the two, the current bears little resemblance to its progenitor.

I will mangle the terminology since it's been so long, but the basic idea was that on an infinite canvas you would create nodes representing concepts; these nodes were just UI "bubble" objects, like the ovals you might find in slide deck software. Relationships could be added after the fact by linking these nodes, and there was a fast way to create linked "sub-nodes" from an existing node. Also, very strong UI for arranging the node diagram.

Maybe the big problem with mind mapping tools these days is feature creep. A complex UI with too many options will absolutely get in the way of the thought process it serves.
> Lot of people look boring in public but really aren't in private.

Of course.

I am referring to the people who are boring in private, clearly.
maybe not the combination but fat is very essential in early human diets so it stands to reason we are pretty fucking good at processing them (barring the frankenfoods produced by hydrogenated fats). We never encountered the quantities of sugar that we encounter now in foods now however. They took out the fat and put in sugar to keep it taste in man-made concoctions like "low fat ___________"

I wish Discord had a better way to organize servers you're in. I'm in somewhere around a hundred, and have no proper way to categorize/sort/tree them. The best you have is top-level groups (which make the icons unreadably tiny) and that just isn't sufficient.

Discord's UI acts like everyone is in all of 5 or so servers and that's it.
I think it’s pretty common for open source projects and even companies to use a combination of Discord and Discourse. Discord entering the forum space makes a lot of sense.

If they can figure out how to make the forums public / exposed to search engines then it could entirely remove the need for Discourse.

> And of course that white person had innumerable advantages their entire life

This is the problem. You don't know this, and you can't tell this just from the color of someone's skin.

A white man can grow up in a trailer park with a drunk, abusive father. A black woman can grow up in a loving, upper middle class family in the suburbs.

Skin color is only a fractional indication of someone's experience.
Table sugar is also high fructose. Sugar is also called sucrose, it is 50% fructose and 50% glucose.

High fructose corn syrup is "available at various fructose levels. HFCS 42, used in beverages, processed foods, cereals and baked goods, comprises 42 % fructose and 53 % glucose. HFCS 90 comprises 90 % fructose and 10 % glucose... HFCS 55, which is used in soft drinks."

-https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5983097/#:~:tex....

I think sucrose tastes better but it seems to be processed in the body the same way as corn syrup.

Btw, fruit juice or honey are also high in fructose. Most likely they are all equally bad. All stored in the liver and all build insulin resistance.

> But both sides, the girls and the men paying them, benefit from the objectification of the other, at least on the surface — the girls, by profiting from the man’s isolation and dire circumstances, and the men, by sexualizing the girls. One perhaps is not worse than the other, but neither is worth celebrating.

It's great when you read an article so obviously ill-founded that the author has to admit they're wrong at the end. This is a cycle that has existed for hundreds of years, it's asinine to me that people are still trying to make some kind of 'moral play' here. It's a free country; these free people are creating enterprise based on their likeness. I'm sure that riles up HN users who spend their lives building thankless, exploitative SaaS products that get cursed by their users under their breath, the same as this site seems to hate 'influencer culture' and social media as a whole. At the end of the day, though, they're living a life they're happy with. They can advocate for themselves and aren't being pimped out by someone who doesn't care about their wellbeing. Other jobs and careers are completely attainable still, if not completely possible to have alongside whatever OnlyFans account you run.
This is a fallacy, HFCS is no worse than cane sugar. What is more important is the amount stuffed into food. HFCS has been demonized when it's sugar&hfcs that should be demonized. Human bodies can handle small amounts of sugar pretty well but when you increase that 10-100x like modern America diets then you get issues.

Thank you, this is very well written.

I'd also just like to highlight how much extrajudicial violence there was perpetrated by white men against minorites, which while technically illegal was just completely overlooked by the white male dominated political and judicial system. For example the Tulsa Race Massacre.

I mean just look at Ahmaud Arbery, whose 3 white male murderers were initially not arrested or charged with a clearly obvious murder. In 2020!
It's likely to be different considering those lawsuits will be about their misrepresentations.

And yes, there are many indications that ad-buyers were defrauded, like the absolute lack of security and bad-account detection and that twitter probably doesn't have the ability to tell who is real or not. And management was incentivized to increase their numbers regardless of concerns. It's not proven but if you'd spent a few hundred million with them it'd definitely be worth a million to try to claw it back.

It's not like Musk needs to prove any specific thing, he just has to shake them up and see what, like the whistleblower report, falls out, and then let the market apply the lawsuits etc.

My guess is that the actual sale-breaking event will be employee sabotage. In my experience Twitter employees hate their own management just less than they hate Elon. If Twitters security is as lax as represented it wouldn't be hard.
That is a perfectly reasonable and understandable situation that I am not talking about. If Team B came to us and said, "here's what it does right now, we were only able to ship the MVP before we needed to prioritize other work", that's fine. That's wonderful. That is the kind of open and honest communication about platform capabilities that is necessary to do quality work.

What I am talking about is when Team B says, "it slices! It dices! It removes tough stains, washes and dries your cloths, hell, it'll fold them!" Then when you start working with their amazing miracle product you find that it merely slices, well, no, actually, it really needs more of a sawing motion because they initially misunderstood the requirements and built it serrated and didn't have time to go back and fix it.

> The bet being made by El Salvador is to get the immense benefits of being an early adopter at the cost of short term volatility and risk of bitcoin failing.

Salvadoran here.

It's hard to see the benefits if there is no transparency on the process.

If we could even have a dashboard and an official website were we could have access to audited reports about the results of this bet, and see how its value varies over time. Then I might agree.

Maybe just a graph like the one found Norway's Sovereign Fund website

https://www.nbim.no/

In reality we just don't. Public information is limited or contradictory. The few public information available includes a tweet about the president buying bitcoin from his phone while not wearing clothes.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/01/26/el-salvador-...

As far as I know, the trust that holds El Salvador bitcoin doesn't have a public website. And the state wallet's website doesn't publish an address or phone number.

The only time I've seen their address is a receipt from a veterinary hospital run by the same state company operating the wallet, in which every procedure costs only US $0.25 because they are subsidized by "bitcoin profits"

El Salvador is a strange country sometimes.
I don't mean publicly. I mean in conversations where interest in taboo fetish is common and encouraged.

And I have no doubt that there are people who get excited about step-sibling fetish. I just figure that if it was as common to want step-sibling porn as it is to find it, then I would have met (or heard from) someone by now who does.

There was an interesting study on rabbits done (can't find it now):

First they gave one batch of rabits only saturated fat -> the developed atherosclerosis.

Then they gave the other batch unsaturated fats -> no atherosclerosis.

Now you might think, "ok, saturated fat bad."

But wait!

Then they removed ALL fat from the 3rd batch of rabbits and you'd expected no atherosclerosis: but NO! Even at no fat the rabits developed atherosclerosis.

But no, you would not be able to ship the user terminal to Africa and use it. You can’t even move it more than a few dozen miles from the address they have on file and keep using it, unless you have the more expensive license for mobile users (think RVs and boats and such). Even then it stops working if you enter an area where service is unavailable.
>I think jumping to conclusions based on this paper is not a good idea

Something that I think most people on HN need to realize is that we are not experts on biology or medical science, so we shouldn't be reading these papers and coming up with conclusions on how to live our lives. Until the organizations that you list in your 3rd bullet point start changing their recommendations, we'd all be well served to follow their advice.
