> In the latest Pew polls, 60% of US adults say that gender is determined by one's sex at birth and cannot be changed …

What is “gender” in the above sentence?

It’s a 1950s attitude that males are born masculine and females feminine - that was largely rejected from the 70s onward, people being held to be unique individuals and gender stereotyping deemed sexist and oppressively limiting.

I was under the impression that young people think gender identity is determined biologically independently of reproductive sex - hence (to them) “Trans women are women” because of their innate gender identity.

Which (if either) is right? - The issue appears to me to be very philosophically confused.
I appreciate you taking the time, but this isn't quite true

For some vendors or kernels, certainly

However, this completely disregards the work companies like Intel and AMD do to upstream their drivers, or the leagues of individual maintainers

In many cases there is no difference, the driver in the kernel is the upstream one

Nvidia has been a notable exception, but they're slowly improving by going (partially?) open source

Realtek specifically has problems due to their shared driver core. For example, it often can't reliably tell the difference between an r8125 and r8169
The Google Chrome team is working with the SQLite team to standardise a WASM based SQLite in the browser to replace WebSQL.

Which would be pretty cool. Projects like SQL.js and absurd-sql are awesome but naturally a bit rough around the edges and not highly maintained.
The social media bubble has burst (see stock prices of other social media companies). This is a quick path to having Twitter shut down or go bankrupt.
Please point to where in my comment I used the word "Trump" or tried to make this a political debate.
The project is quite large and cannot be easily migrated without loss of data, due to rate limits in Github's API's. The preparation has been long going, but they are nearing a point where they move the project to a gitea server. That's vendor lock-in, right there.
well, mine works fine (with multiple hours of heavy usage), the card itself is quite cold (48-65 C), but the news is worrying, for sure...

This makes sense, but only in a world where we can trust that almost everyone is operating in good faith. Does that sound like contemporary American political discourse to you?

Those from “our side” on the committee can just unite to block anyone from “our side” from being banned. And those on “their side” can do the same. In fact, anyone who doesn’t do this will probably be branded a sellout. I just don’t see how to do this in a way that actually functions and also promotes broad-based faith that it’s a fair system.
I think it is worth noting that "Whole Mars Catalog" is a Tesla PR mouthpiece, and should be viewed with such context in mind.
Oooff, 266 KB is a hefty price to pay. I really wish WebSQL would have won out over IndexedDB, because I would have loved to have been able to build libraries on top of that instead of the headache IndexedDB is.
>Babylon Bee being suspended was one of the dumber things the previous Twitter rules had done. It's a satire site, it's right leaning, nothing in the piece they said was hateful or even an unpopular view.

Twitter banned the Babylon Bee for targeting a random and rather anonymous bureaucrat that likely isn't among the 1000 most powerful people in government in the US for the sole purpose that she is trans. This targeting by the Babylon Bee and other conservative media has led to her getting death threats. Being a satire site doesn't mean we can laugh off all their behavior as a joke. Their behavior was a part of a harassment campaign against someone who is largely a private citizen in this instance. Stopping that doesn't seem like a mistake to me.
I would amend GPs statement to say “Twitter doesn’t have to be a megaphone” but then I guess their only/biggest revenue stream would dry up if people truly could curate their feed to only show what they actually wanted to see.
We can call people who exhibit many of Umberto Eco’s characteristics of fascism as fascists when they act in such a manner.

Why should people tolerate the intolerant? Why should people tolerate those who can’t even follow basic TOS and behave as adults?

Why should the world tolerate people like that ex president who mocked a reporter with disabilities, who said he grabs women by their genitals, who has received multiple accusations of sexual assault, has been on Eipstein’s island and likely touched little girls?

Why should reasonable people be tolerant to dysfunctional adults who support such a president and share his dog-whistle soundbites? Why should the world tolerate people who are actively calling for their murder? Why should reasonable people give space to people like Pence who want to shove their Christianity down the throat of everyone else?

I will exercise my free speech and call fascists the fascists they are until they stop behaving like fascists. The intolerant deserve no tolerance.

There are many more viewpoints than the American's.
Hard disagree on that one. Everybody talks smack about the EU and the UK in the EU would mean a lot of money.
What you say is far from being obvious.
What is the ground mechanism that, according to you, will make "adversity recognize adversity even if the circumstances are different"?
In fact, from what I see, it's usually the opposite: people who have faced adversity will have a strong bias to consider their adversity was worse than the adversity of others who face a different kind of adversity.
This is the same kind of bias as "the grass is always greener ...": it is very difficult to understand the bad aspect of the situation when from the outside, and when someone has faced adversity, this will be amplified by that: they had first hand experience vs. an adversity that they need to just imagine.
It reminds me of, for example, those guys who are saying "if women were whistling at me in the street, I would take it as a complement": amongst those guys, a bunch have probably faced strong adversity. Still, they cannot understand why women dislike being whistled at and jump to the conclusion that these women don't know how good they have it. The fact that they have faced adversity amplify the fact that they don't recognize adversity: "why are they telling it's adversity, they are just soft, if they lived what I've lived, they will know what real adversity is".

edit: hm, while I'm not a fan of the "systemic racism" thing, depicting it as a "boogie man in the sky" does not make you look like prone to really open to understand adversity of others. I'm sure you decided that "they are just complaining, they don't know "real adversity"" while you have no idea what it is really like.
> Babylon Bee being suspended was one of the dumber things the previous Twitter rules had done. It's a satire site, it's right leaning, nothing in the piece they said was hateful or even an unpopular view.

They didn’t even make a joke. They just called trans woman a man. It was hate speech, pure and simple.

I am very afraid for the future of twitter now. Hate speech is going to run rampant on that platform now.
1.5M followers. Doesn’t sound like a small fry to me.

I'm absolutely sure that people who actually search the internet are so few that google does not think serving them is profitable. That's what I'm saying. Most people are like you and only click the first couple results.

And this is a terrible situation. There's an entire generation of people that can never learn how to search, even if they wanted to, since it is no longer available.
Because for all of its problems, Web PKI is a working, practical, large scale system of verification and GPG isn't - you don't get much by trying to replicate what your web browser and CAs do for you but clunkier.

Show HN: I made a builder that lets you create a sales page for Gumroad products
Hey everyone,
Would love to hear your feedback

I just released the beta for a no-code builder specifically for people selling on Gumroad.

Seeing lots of artsy and non-technical folks selling through Gumroad, their only real option when advertising is to create a sales page throuh something like Square or Wix.

Like all non-niche things, this becomes hard when you actually want to link up your payment and email subscribers directly to your page. (Not to even mention affiliate sellers).

Wrapping gum is my response to this

So if you're a seller on Gumroad, would love to hear some feedback from you on whether or not you would find this usefull or not

Brutal feedback is always encouraged :)

Thank you
That's an unusual example. Most posts on twitter are not formulaic recognition of holidays by politicians.

In general, not knowing if a machine or a human wrote a twitter post is a bad thing.
> I think you mean "proprietary color systems".

No, "proprietary software" is correct.

> Open source software has never supported PANTONE.

The point is that with open source software, once you get something it can't be unilaterally revoked, and this doesn't make that false.
Maybe I’m just not willing to put in as much effort as you, but despite everything I tried I could not stop unwanted content from meeting my eyes. Except for the step of not using it any longer, of course.

Yes, this is true, but even back then (during the time they crippled it) it was possible to pretend to run on Intel hardware. I haven't done this, but I read it was possible.
Most politicians are boring. So what? Just don’t follow them.

The problem with bots is not that they are “artificial sounding”. They can and are used for scaming people, they can and are used for manipulating the public discourse.

> Do you think Putin will just say "OK" ?

I think NATO or the West is playing a very strategic game here. They don't offer Ukraine 100% more firepower than Russia, which would end the war quickly. They offer them a bit more so that Russia is struggling. And notice that when Russia would try to subdue Ukraine with more powerful weapons like a tactical nuke, NATO already made it clear that they would move in. They are basically exhausting Russia to death. Right now, Russia is really scraping to throw everything they got into this war. If this war keeps going, it will totally destruct Russia's economy and society. Unfortunately, Ukraine is paying a very heavy price for this. But from a NATO strategic standpoint, we're now in an ideal scenario.
I agree that Twitter's content moderation is mostly a vibe, and not really effective. Musk purchasing Twitter is already killing that feeling that content moderation works at Twitter, and I wouldn't be surprised if advertisers put a freeze on their plans the day the purchase went through (hence Musk's panicked-sounding tweet to advertisers).

They are creditors, though. The terms of the loans are not public, but usually being a creditor provides more leverage than a minority equity stake.
What about “this pattern of tweets is sufficiently correlated with declining user engagement”. Should Twitter make decisions based on the health of the business?
Nicely said; "boredom engineering" encapsulates so much of what I've seen at large enterprises.
> I like written communication, it forces you to be more structured in your thinking

It sure does, but I don't care if comms are unstructured if same job gets done much faster. You're not going to frame your structured communication and put it on the wall. You could argue that someone might find your past PR communication useful in the future, but that's what code comments are for.

> a review that can be done in a slack hurdle in 15 minutes can be done async in less

Strongly disagree, some code reviews have lots of back and forth. A branch that could be merged within an hour may take several days because reviewers and branch owner each going at their own pace. The more async you are, the more WIP you're going to have, and it is always a bad thing.

> every one of these hurdles will actually be surrounded by a period of non-productive time

I consider time spent getting on the same page with my team members to be one of the most productive things I can do. Even more productive than writing code.
Lakes aren't geographically dependent?
> I'm pretty sure this is related to people "on the spectrum" often having low "theory of mind" capabilities.

As an alternate theory, maybe they've spent a lot of time staring at the code in question and internalised the context to a point where they no longer think about it. Happens to everyone.
What about people who use the API for accessibility reasons because the official app isn't compatible with their needs?
This is my second favorite arcade game of all time (after Robotron 2084). FYI anyone in the Chicago area should stop by Galloping Ghost Arcade, they have a fully-functioning Darius cabinet (and cabinets of a couple sequels as well)

So few people in the Chicago area are aware that the largest classic arcade in the world by far is in their area (they have ~1000 cabinets)

The game can be completed on a single quarter if you're good (I admittedly never reached this milestone) and the game has a perfect balance of enemy waves and powerups. The musical score is definitely a masterpiece of early custom hardware fm synthesis compositions.

The term was popularized by leftists, but coopted by corporations and oligarch-media who have emptied the word of its meaning, turning it into a buzzword that is said in every press release and at every opportunity.

> If developers had to do customer support for their products as a rule you bet they’d get grumpy.

Do you have data to support this?

I would love to do customer support from time to time to better understand the users of the product I work on as a developer. But that request has been denied to me many times, in multiple jobs.

To get people to communicate better, inspire them to do so and have faith in them.
I went to Calakmul earlier this year - it's an awesome site. It's amazing that there may be yet much more to be discovered.
"Hefty"... for an asset that can easily be cached long term, so it is effectively a one time penalty for a given website, and many web apps will load images larger than this. Certainly, just about any marketing/product page will load more bytes than this in the form of images, let alone videos.

So, "hefty" seems like a bit of an exaggeration to me. All other things equal, lighter is always better, but 266KB for all the functionality SQLite offers isn't that bad, IMO.

On the topic of caching, since SQLite is (intentionally or not) going to be setting an example with their docs and demos[0], I would suggest that SQLite should demonstrate the industry best practices with regards to caching as well. Static assets like WASM and JavaScript should be served with a very high cache duration, and the name of the asset should include a hash of the asset. This way, the site maintainer can update the HTML to reference the new SQLite bundles by the new hash whenever they upload new versions, and browsers will immediately request the new versions, but they will otherwise instantly load the cached version after the first visit whenever there isn't a new version.

I do miss Christopher Hitchens. He could have written a hit piece on anyone in the world. He later did one on Henry Kissinger, but not until he got Mother Teresa out of the way first.
So how would you determine where to put an article, section, header or footer tag with markdown, not counting using raw HTML in markdown??
Go to a direct link to a tweet from an anonymous browser.

Until a court case says that the act of receiving bytes from an HTTP server constitutes agreement to a contract that was never even presented to you, it's hard to see how you can possibly have agreed to a TOS. The user must be presented with a TOS and have the option to reject it in order to have agreed to it.
I love explaining jokes, so I'm glad I thought to look back at this comment.

My statements are sound enough to build bridges on. It's all the same math, just in ternary and quaternary. My point is that there is no such thing as an objective interpretation, because all methods of communication are open to biases. Even math expressions.

I think it's far better give the reader as much information as reasonable and let him decicde how much he wants / needs to read. That can avoid multiple round trips and makes sure the whole picture is available to anyone who may need it.

Particularly as often the same message will be sent to multiple recieients that have different needs.

Of course you should try to structure the message so that people don't necessarilly have to read all of it.

For instance I recently sent a message about an analysis of the feasibility of changing a piece of hardware to a group that contained

* Managers
* Hardware developers (in charge of implementing the hardware modification)
* Software developers (in charge of adapting the software to the new hardware)

So it started with a brief summary of the idea and conclusion "yes it will work" (for the managers).

Continued with a some comments, questions addressed to the hardware team "the aproach is fine but we still need to sort out X,Y,Z"

And finished with a detailed description for the software team of how we should integrate the new hardware whilst remaining compatible with the existing.
Yes, a global list of exclusions for content like that such as the list maintained by NCMEC would account for this.
This is good but it can never be as good as Web SQL could have been, because it can't be a truly shared library. Like all WASM modules, It has to be downloaded and JIT compiled separately for every site that uses it. Not for technical reasons, but privacy reasons, so it's basically unfixable: https://developer.chrome.com/en/blog/http-cache-partitioning...

Maybe if half the sites on the web start using it, browsers can finally be convinced that it would be OK to add SQLite to the base platform.
To echo the person you're responding to, what have you actually done to date to "improv[e] opportunities for minorities, and spend a substantial amount of your time taking action to try and solve that problem"?

Saying you will take hypothetical action is easy, but all that matters is what you've actually done and are doing.

If you haven't taken any substantial action to date then perhaps consider that may be a sign that you are not as motivated and understanding about the oppression of others as your initial comment may have indicated.

If on the other hand you have been involved in a significant amount of anti-racist activism that's genuinely awesome.

But what DID happen though, is the opposite team doing the same and banning anything or anyone right-wing.
You can buy an iPhone 14 Pro Max for $46/month. You can buy an iPhone SE for $18/month - both from Apple interest free.

No one is impressed by a device that over 300 million people buy a year or that you spent $46/month instead of $18/month.

In the Fintweet community the wish list is probably something like:

* Ban all spam bots

* Ban all spam bots (it's that bad)

* Ability to edit tweets

* Maybe a slightly better to tack tickers. Currently you'll do something like $META but this gets problematic when there are dual-listings, or the same ticker in different markets.

* Have URLs not count towards character limit
