The doctors are indeed worried about his karma count. It's dropped a lot because he is ethically challenged. But it's sounds like the doctors are working hard to bring that karma count back up.

The best theory is that this analogous to Facebook's Oversight Committee, whose purpose in practice is to serve as a scapegoat for the really tough or unpopular moderation decisions. (e.g. Trump reinstatement, which ironically the Facebook Oversight Committee refused to rule on)
The people at Facebook/TikTok/<your favorite social media> responsible for filtering posts against policy that get mental traumata without being payed much are probably also serious contenders
That’s counter to profitability. Advertisers don’t want free speech. They don’t want controversy.
But you simply don't know if "the algorithm" is being fair at giving reach to these voices.
> Since most of academia is liberal, aren't practically all the byproducts of that sphere inherently majorly biased?

This assumes that most people let their ideology drive their science. And also, what is the source of the claim that most of academia is in fact liberal? Any hypothesis why? Liberals ganging up and pushing out conservatives, or voluntary non-participation by conservatives, or what?
The tweet has been deleted - do you have the content?
The problem I hear with their solar panel business is customer service. A friend of ours had their panels installed for months but couldn't get Tesla to actually turn them on.

We went with a local company and it it took a couple weeks longer to install than estimated and they were turned on immediately after install. The power company has even changed out the meter now, so we're fully installed and done.

I'm fascinated: does your company/manager truly track SLOC and promote based on that?

Or is SLOC here more of a proxy for "features shipped"?

Because if this is what's happening, I'd encourage two changes:

1. Communicate differently to HR, lead, and skip - either use different approaches of documentation, or point out different aspects of your contributions
2. If trying various different approaches don't work... leave.

For communicating differently - I used to work at a large company, and our yearly reviews had places to capture accomplishments. That was a broad topic: it wasn't just features built, bugs fixed or identified, etc. It would also be totally appropriate to put ways you saved money or time on various initiatives, and I would frequently put down items like this.

How do you communicate "how good" your "communication, soft skills, and team work have been this year"?
Yeah it's crazy that Twitter banned all Conservatives from twitter and not just ones that blatantly and repeatedly broke their guidelines. Oh wait...

My sister is very into crystals, actually works at a shop financed by some billionaire's daughter.

Every now and then she likes to remind me of that most of our screens are made out of quartz, and highlights the associated qualities of the crystal.

I can't recall them but I always find it interesting, something about assigning beliefs and extra qualities onto your everyday objects. Some people believe in a white god with long hair in the clouds while others believe in the magical qualities of rocks. I find the diversity of beliefs beautiful.

Groups can force advertisers to leave the platform. YouTube doesn’t monetize content that is not palatable to advertisers. Similarly whole of Twitter can become unpalatable if problematic speech is not moderated.

E.g. Musk said in the past he will draw the line at legal speech. Assume that Ye (Kanye) posts his early morning rant next week, and it is critical of several groups of people based on religion or race. That speech is legal, but highly problematic, is Musk owning Twitter going to make a difference in the way Ye’s problematic speech is handled in the future, I think not.
Is it though? I found that when combined with their battery offering, which triggers additional state incentives, their pricing is quite a bit below the competition. I just have cold feet because of rumors of bad/nonexistent customer service.

To get to the point of re-joining will take a long time with plenty of time for governments and minds in Europe to change.

Ultimately the EU is stronger with the UK as a member, and I’m sure if it’s willing to pay a high enough price it will be let back in (metrication, no-rebate, the euro etc).
It's like it's part of the family's DNA
I expect if you rephrased the asked question to include that the answers would be very, very different. I’d love to rejoin the EU, but dropping the pound to do so? That’s a higher price than you might think.
I am not a huge fan of Elon, but I look forward to him changing Twitter. Twitter has an extreme bias and it’s moderation is not balanced and it’s very polarising and having a controversial person who can bring the platform back to the centre and more to balanced without being afraid from a backlash from some fringe extremists is a good thing IMHO.

When the referendum happened, I thought that Brexit was a silly idea, and that remaining was a good choice.

Now years later, I'm so thankful Brexit happened. The EU has gotten so much worse since the UK has left, and I can't see a future where the EU will be any better.

The UK lost alot of great benefits since we left the EU, but it has gained a lot more sovereignty. We don't have to abide by completely ridiculous laws the EU attempts to implement anymore.
> The ACLU used to defend the right

They still take these cases. (It is a bit complicated, individual ACLU chapters have a lot of autonomy, and they do not all agree with each other in all ways.)

So I see a substantial difference.

On one hand, you have lawyers from a nonprofit arguing in court that, while someone's views may be abhorrent, they are legal, and the principle matters more than the harm.

On the other, you have a for-profit entity tilting the landscape upon that speech rests, and as the raging debates about this stuff have shown, is difficult to distinguish profit from other motives.

Running a company with specific ideological priors looks a lot different to me than defending assholes for past speech on principle.
If you go first you are offering a bribe. If the police are investigating offering a bribe is entrapment and your lawyer will run with that in court.

In short it is a way to avoid getting caught.
Those were deliberate actions by the UK government to try to make it as hard as possible to reverse the decision. A new party in power in the UK would frame things very differently.
> that's no different from Twitter and other platforms

Exactly -- and I think that's the source of most folks' pre-schadenfreude. A lot of us have been around long enough to have seen "free speech" platforms come and go and this feels no different, so far.

The problem is that when leftists and centrist say "censored for conservative views" they think of lower taxes and deregulation, but when conservatives point to examples of which views get censored, it is always "Oh, you know the ones"[1].

Slower feature velocity? Less innovation?

Based on a few articles I've read, it appears he may be bringing developers from Tesla into Twitter but I have not seen anything from him directly stating that. I doubt they will hit the ground running but with time can probably dig into the code and processes.

Sadly I've been in an industry that was focused on taking over after entire IT/engineering/development teams were let go. As rough as it is for the people let go, it is equally demoralizing to pick up the pieces from people either being let go or that were let go. It can be done accepting it will be rough around the edges at first. During the dot-com bust I was one of the people that had to sit with the soon to be let go team members and document their job and automate as much of it as I could. That's all I did for a couple of years.

Libel isn't legal in the US.

> In since-deleted tweets, the account specifically accused Chasten Buttigieg and The Trevor Project organization of grooming.[40][32][94]

And outright misinformation isn't really an "ideological difference."

> The account has been criticized for spreading hoaxes, including the litter boxes in schools hoax about bathrooms accommodations for students that identified as cats, and a false claim that students in a second-grade class in Austin, Texas were being taught about furries.[12][95][94]

Outright lies are destructive to "public square"-style communication, and Twitter definitely can't be seen, legally, facilitating libel.

First unlock means the user entered the PIN to go through the second level of encryption (after Secure Enclave device-level protections of flash).

Without first PIN, most functions don't work because the writable flash areas storing third party apps and user data are still encrypted.

This is also why you have to enter your PIN on reset rather than a biometric; it is far more established to derive a symmetric key from a password than from biometric data.
Stability issues on RPI's almost always are the result of power and cooling problems.

AKA, use one of the official power adapters, and one of the large 3rd party heatsink/fan combos.

I think the largest storage source should be the US government (and other world governments). This is as it should be since they prosecute cases and naturally collect evidence. Evidence can’t be destroyed just because someone was found guilty.

Charging stations coming to US military sites as DoD rolls out EVs
I suppose I have a biased view on this, as a holder of some beliefs that already get censored by normal society, but I really just see it as the cost of doing business. It isn't the end of me as an active agent in society who tries to spread my views, in the same way that blocking Nick Fuentes would end Nazism; just something you work with or around.

Following that logic, I support censoring/deplatforming fascists et al. because I want to hurt their ability to do fascism, not for some higher principle of striving towards a perfect, values-neutral marketplace of ideas. Speech is just another front on the plains of power.
> Hydrogen's worst problem is that it would need a distribution network set up.

Yes, slowly supplement and convert the gasoline and diesel distribution network to H2. We already have a LPG distribution network. Currently the only company offering H2 in the EU is Linde Gas. But that will change. The EU MPs want H2 stations every 100 km and charging stations every 60 km. Without this infrastructure EVs and H2 powered vehicles will not get enough traction to replace the current vehicle fleet.

You've confused Tucker Carlson for a journalist. It's a mistake sufficiently common that his lawyers have had to explain in court that he is an entertainer and his words are to be taken as opinion. Journalists and entertainers are generally held to different standards, especially in court. A better comparison would be to Rachel Maddow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Maddow

>Rachel Anne Maddow (/ˈmædoʊ/ (listen), MAD-oh; born April 1, 1973) is an American television news program host and liberal political commentator.

Maddow has used the same defense against litigation as Carlson. The 'conservative/liberal' tag is applied when a person is described as a political commentator.
The problem is that a lot of miscreants hide behind the label "conservative voice". Like people who spread hate, misinformation and conspiracy theories online. We need to differentiate between these fake "conservative voices" and real conservatives. Pretty sure people in the second category are not being targeted.
Ask HN: What features would you like to see in a P2P search engine?
I have a long weekend and I am thinking of putting online a p2p search engine for the web. Searching the web is too large for me or anyone to crawl by themselves but a group of people could do text-search on the sites of interest to us.

Would you use a p2p search engine? What features would you like to see in a peer-to-peer search engine whose nodes crawl the web and run search queries?

What spec do you think users are violating?
The problem is Dark Matter, without any proof it exists, was elevated into the cosmological paradigm, taken for granted that it exists, when it may very well not exist. As part of the paradigm, it is incredibly difficult to remove. Someone could have figured out what the missing mass was 15 years ago, or that there was no missing mass - eliminating the need for Dark Matter - yet Dark Matter could continue remain part of the established paradigm for 50 more years or longer. Paradigmatic criteria should at the very least include positive proof of existence, saving the effort wasted in teaching, discussing and testing for something that never existed, as proving it doesn't exist is much more difficult if not impossible even if it doesn't exist, which I personally think is a pretty good bet at this point.
No idea but it’ll do wonders for the air quality in Los Angeles once a significant number of people drive EV’s.
When I talk about fluidity of gender, or gender distinct from sex, I start with well accepted terms.

Consider: you would probably agree with me that a butch tomboy and a valley girl fashionista are both women. But they represent different extremes on what we, socially, agree femininity is. We might say the butch woman is less feminine than the valley girl.

Likewise, we'd typically say Clint Eastwood is more manly than, say, Bill Gates. A similar spread of "manliness" for men.

If we're on the same page so far, we're comfortable with the idea that gender has a spectrum - two separate spectrums, one for men and one for women. I don't need you to agree that they intersect at all, just that the concept of "manliness" and "femininity" are not single points in their respective genders.

Now let's look globally. Are the same spectrums universal? In the Middle East, east Asia, Russia, central Africa, and Polynesia... Does feminity look the same?

I'd argue no. A hijab or niqab might evoke feminity in some parts of the world but not in others. Following this, there must be a social component to feminity and manliness. And this component is not genetic. So there must be "something" that exists that's a social construct related to sex.

What should we call this social construct, assuming we agree there is no chromosomal need to wear a niqab?

Academically, gender has evolved to be the word that describes the cultural expectations placed on men and women. These expectations allow for some flexibility for culture and personality.

If you are comfortable with this so far, and we can agree on the above, I'm happy to dive into the fluidity, non-binary, and forget separation of gender and sex as a follow on discussion. But if we disagree about the above, we should sort that before moving on.

A few friends and I wrote a simple dynamic DNS service called ddns[1] around a 0-dependency nodejs script that manages NSD zone files. It's pretty easy to self-host an ns for your own needs. The most interesting feature it has is the ability to register an unused entry without authentication (or with an adminpassword) but update it with a password set on first registration. This allows me to bake that password into a cronjob on any given server without the risk that it can hijack DNS from other servers if it is compromised. My company now uses it (plus NSD zone transfer) to drive our DNS layer for server to server communications.

One of my friends runs a public instance here, with no guarantees offered.[2]
