Absolutely not. Everything dies with me.

Ok, so it seems you recognize there is a problem.

What, if anything, do you think can or should be done about this problem (and similar), and by whom?

lol @ "dev machine" ?!
I applaud SourceHut for this decision.
>They're pinpointing a specific set of entities who should be very careful about making certain discussions not included in these entities are individual citizens.

Who do you think makes up these "specific set of entities" if not "individual citizens"?

>If a case has been decided that indicates a specific set of actions are civil rights violations, then I'm not sure what you are suggesting, its ok to violate precedent over and over again without consequence?

But OP didn't say the trigger for consequences would be the violation of civil rights. They said that the suggestion was enough to deserve a punishment. They want the speech punished, not action.
By what standards would disinformation be classified and exempted? It would have to be 100% public - no discussion or decisionmaking in darkness.

Would religion be policed for making unproven claims? Would there be any allies of political favorables who could correct the record with their version of the truth? Is inconvenient information disinformation, as in, will they define disinformation as any information disruptive to the status quo as able to be proven without revealing state secrets, classified information, or restricted media like the "collateral damage" video, whether true or false?

Despite CNN and MSNBC being broadcast in Russia and China, their news is all but forbidden in the US. How damaged and fragile is the US mindset that it can't exist in the presence of other ideas?
Unravelling 'if' statements
This is all true and yet certain people can extract way more money out of a deal just because they are able to communicate better.
That's called a layoff.
Bluntly, that’s just the cost of freedom. How many people get punched in the face for saying something unsavory, yet there is no national conversation about curtailing speech?

Why didn’t we have that conversation after the Dallas police shooting shortly after Obama talking about police violence? Or the mass riots spurred on by democrat politicians? Or the Jan 6th riots following trumps speech (actually, he got deplatformed everywhere following that). Or the congressional baseball shooting following Bernie Sander’s calling Republicans hateful for not passing healthcare bills?

Obviously this attack is unacceptable, but if these other instances didn’t move people to curtail speech, the fact that this relatively minor event does tells me this is more about pushing an agenda and putting politicians ahead of freedoms.

As far as I’m concerned in the conversation about the limits of free speech, Pelosi is nobody special. Would we curtail speech because some random person in Ohio got assaulted for saying mean words? Of course not, so why would we do it for some powerful politician, who’s used speech in just as inciting ways as well no less?

To put it plainly: should we curtail freedoms because somebody attacked Pelosi? The answer to that is the same as the answer to “should we curtail freedoms because speech makes people mad sometimes”. The way we’ve answered that as a society in all other instances is “no”, so the answer remains the same.
Voicemail is essentially "Here, you type this email for me". I delete them unheard. But I'm an old curmudgeon.
Or just advertising for inebreating products?
See also cognitohazards (true information which is harmful just to know).

Roko's Basilisk is the perfect toy example. But on a global level the possibility of nuclear arms is a more real world example.

There are many kinds of dangerous true information.

In liberal societies we accept these risks and counter them with harm reduction while relying on trust in individual autonomy, not on policing.
We have many curbs on alcohol. Many to prevent situations like you describe. Maybe it is responsible to also limit speech especially when it can cause harm.
You wrote “Metacognition seems like a technical term which isn’t defined”, which reads like you weren’t familiar with the term. It’s not a particularly exotic or ill-defined term.

Metacognition doesn’t just mean thoughts about thoughts, it means perception of and thinking about the process of your own thinking, about its mechanisms. It’s recognizing and reflecting about how your mind works.

It seems to me the author of the article is using “metacognition” in the normal meaning, so I’m not sure what the problem is.
> Science can't be politics

That's not what anybody is saying. The thing I said was "Science is political", and that is not the same idea as "Science is politics". Science is political is just saying that what gets researched is influenced by politics, and how that research is interpreted and absorbed by society is influenced by politics, and that's a feedback loop.

> If you make science political you have ruined science

The endeavor to remove politics from science is a VERY good one, but you can't tell me that politics doesn't exist within science. The money for scientific research largely comes from two sources: Government, and commerce. They have agendas - the influence of the funding source on the results are well documented - which is a perversion of science, but further than that the TOPICS they chose to fund vs the ones that don't get funding are a way that politics influence science. The conclusion of a paper funded by some company may be true, but the fact that we know that piece of data is in service of some agenda. On top of that, there is the politics of how orthodoxies within science rise and fall - it's not a straight line walk towards the truth.

> Science shouldn't care about your feelings.

Except science does care about feelings and I would argue it should care. The main drivers of what gets researched in science are, as I said, what the funding sources want, AND what the people doing the research care about. That second part is all people's feelings. There is no scientific reason to cure cancer, it's not a threat to human existence, but when people we love get sick we want to help them. That's feelings in science - not in the conclusions, but in the directions we go and the consequences of the work. These kinds of feelings, that drive us to care for each other, are the heart and soul of science. A cold heart makes for bad science, in my opinion.

Well for starters schools are part of the issue. Having students being taught whitewashed history while pledging to a flag under God each day only reiterates cult like behavior. Our society is brainwashed from the time they are children to like certain things based on ads that use all manipulation techniques. Kids ask for things without even really knowing why they want them. In order to educate children to question things and keep an open mind would require big changes that I don't think society is willing to make. The best we can do is an open dialogue with children about there techniques and how they can recognize and empower themselves to be independent thinkers unwilling to succumb.
Controlling persistent high inflation is way more important to the nation than homegrown chips right now.
Everyone thinks that the other side of an issue is spreading disinformation. It's such a vague and ridiculous assertion to assume that any person, organization, entity, or any one side has the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Freedom of speech is a prerequisite for a society to arrive at anything close to resembling truth, because no one has a monopoly on truth. No one can adjudicate it. Ideas must compete. Perspectives must be entertained. Right now, in this very moment and in all moments in history, there are mainstream ideas that are thought to be absolute truths which are brazenly false.

Debate is how you get educated. Nothing else can suffice.
- "and I desperately do not want further injury or violence to occur spurned by incorrect speech on the facts of reality"

How is that any different from violence inspired by correct facts?

Following the logic you're laying out, I don't think it's the defense of truth you're advocating for; it's social harmony and stability. Basically the ideals favored in the Chinese model -- which censors true things and false things equally, depending on their social impact.
Or just use a password manager as usual but distribute your password with shamir split between several trustworthy parties, one of whom would be a solicitor or someone like that (along with your will)
Nope. The New York Times and others ran headlines that front lined that it was Russian disinformation. They didn't talk much about how the emails were verified. In fact Glenn Greenwald quit because his editor tried to suppress his story on it.
I think there is a big difference with electronic media in that you can get propaganda from the other side. Eg in WW2 in Western Europe you wouldn't even hear Nazi propaganda except perhaps the occasional leaflet or maybe some radio if you searched for it - in America there would be nothing. Now you get messages on Facebook mixed in with your cousin's wedding pics.
I've used this in the past and it has been very convenient! Thanks Filippo!

Having said that, nowadays I just bring up a local caddy instance and use that. Caddy can set up and use a local CA for development/testing [1]. In my case I'm using caddy on my little public-facing hobby server anyway, so it's convenient to have a similar setup in local dev. If I cared about actually getting at & directly using the certificates myself I'd probably go back to mkcert.

My experience too. I did embedded systeems that I wrote the whole software stack for: OS, networking, device drivers, application software, etc.

These days programming is more trying to understand the badly-written documentation of the libraries you're using.
Sure. Intel and their competition sell directly to consumers, so any tech savvy person is at least vaguely aware of their relative positions in the market. I'm less familiar with ASML (other than the fact that, of course, they make that important part) -- haven't looked into setting up a fab! Do they have US competition that is "pretty close" in the same sense that Intel is to TSMC?
As a datapoint, I got an adult kick scooter in NYC years ago to use for transportation. It worked as an alternative to walking around the neighborhood for distances up to a couple miles and the kids loved riding with me on it. But it didn't work for commuting, and anyone who considers skateboards and scooters in the same category as their electric counterparts has probably not attempted to commute with them.

As a worst-case example, take crossing the Queensboro Bridge which took about ~30 mins by foot, ~20 mins by kick scooter, and less than ~10 minutes by bike or electric scooter. On the surface that seems like a kick scooter fills a valid niche. However, on a sustained uphill a kick scooter is more tiring than walking and not substantially faster, so it's often simpler to just carry it. It is faster on the way down, but also stressful as you have to sit on the brakes the whole time to keep from going too fast on 200mm rubber wheels over cracked concrete. Saving ten minutes of walking just wasn't worth the extra stress and weight.

You can get kick scooters with inflatable tires and suspension but they're so low volume that it's not much more expensive to get a mass-produced electric scooter.
You also need to give two months notice, or compensate for two months time, if you're going to have a big layoff. Laying off 50% of employees is also going to add up. 3,500 employees * $20,000 = $70,000,000.
So it seems like there’s nothing I can do about this and have to live the rest of my internet life with this pop up everywhere I look.

Thanks, Google, for making the internet a worse place for me.

> using the classic "I'm just asking question" stance

what is the desired way for people to learn and also criticize aspects of culture that were fine before, but now changing? its easy not to understand what the consensus is and get berated for not knowing that, which just radicalizes people that might have been able to be supportive.
Presumably stock--and perhaps variable comp bonuses--would not be part of a listed salary range.

No, but if that drunk driver was driving drunk and targeting the loved one of a politician because someone else incited them by outright lying, then maybe you'd have something to discuss here.
> wealthy technological races potentially stabilizing at zero population growth

It doesn't have to, in fact (relatively) endless population growth is the prime force to push even lazy non-curious fearful aliens out of their planet and sun. That and obvious unavoidable necessity of every sun eventually becoming killer of its own ecosystem, even if their planet would be super duper stable with all meteorites under total control.

The rest I agree with, even civilization having mere 100 million years of advantage on us would be able to properly colonize non-trivial part of milky way by now, we just have to abandon star trek/wars expectations of instant communication and travel which is fine. We humans are generally pretty bad at grasping true meaning of numbers when it comes to ie astronomy.
The innovator’s dilemma, right?
Before that it was still in the mid to high 30 thousands for a while. Still terrible!
Right. No, we don't. He messages me when he needs help with things since I'm holding a lot more in the hands-on stuff. One of the problems is that he tends to work in a silo whereas I prefer to act as just another engineer when I'm working on those types of tasks, which means providing updates to the team, tracking my progress openly, giving info in standups, etc.

I have a good relationship with the CTO, but it still feels a bit awkward for me to be telling him or even suggesting to him what to do, but maybe that's my own issue. Perhaps he'd love to hear from me things like "We could really use your help on X" or "It would be great if you did Y." Maybe he really doesn't know how/where he can be helpful.

I think you're right that more regular communication would help. He just hasn't been great about this. He provided no onboarding to me, didn't teach me anything and I basically had to pick up everything by myself. I'm a bit worried I'm up against a behavior that has become very entrenched or that he really just doesn't have the motivation he once did.
What evidence would you need to show that the person who assaulted the Speaker's husband did so because they were spurned by "stop the steal", and similar rhetoric?
Lastpass has this as a built in feature for at least their family plan. You can set another account to be an emergency access account. The owner of that account can initiate a request for access to your passwords. You'll get an email informing you of the request, and you have a configurable amount of time to reject it. Failure to do so will lead to them getting access to your vault.

Not sure the security mechanics involved that allow for it, but it seemed like a very neat product for this very thing (and I've added requesting access to the death checklist I gave to my wife), since it means I'm not having to provide my password to anyone (or even get it out of my head and enclose it somewhere physical), but my wife can still get access to it in the event of my death (or my being incapacitated for a sufficiently long period of time that she needs it).
While it seems logical that a fixed salary implies a fixed set of tasks, I don’t think it holds in practice. I’ve worked my share of fixed salary positions where the day-to-day looks nothing like the job posting. It seems all you have to do is add a clause like “and other duties as assigned”.

There is a chance your duties get so out of whack that you request HR to reinterpret your pay, but not only is that a laborious and somewhat arbitrary process, but it seems both HR and management are incentivized to not rule in the employees favor.
> Once you get into higher skilled positions, the roles become much more flexible and negotiable.

So make the salary range bigger.

The FedGov is an interested actor in the dissemination of information and is therefore not fit for task on arbitrating on incorrect or inaccurate information. It can be a source of information, but it cannot be trusted as an uncompetitive source.

If you are interested in accurate and correct information, it is procedurally discovered in a competitive information environment with multiple interested actors; not decreed by the President and his employees.
It's already the law, it would just be better if the higher penalties applied to all civil rights violations and not just those that involve physical assault. The problem is that the DOJ is heavily politicized and won't proceed with charges.

It isn't just "execution" -- it's choosing what you ought to build in house now, and what's better to just buy.

"Anyone can use 3d mapping and geofencing" - that shows you their limitations and also doesn't qualify for "completely autonomous" standard. - Completely means anytime (regarding weather conditions or time of the day), anywhere (no geofencing) and completely adaptive behavior to the permanently and randomly driving conditions humans deal with while driving. Pattern recognition software alone (A.I.) would never be able to match human driving performances.

"As long as the remote operators and assistance teams are an order of magnitude smaller than putting a driver in every car" - the entire gig is way to expensive and requires "time travel" level of scientific achievements, which is 100% fiction and 0% reality.

> Is this just new curriculum that is taught to middle and high school students? Is there some course that all citizens have to take?

Critical thinking skills should be taught and practiced at all levels of education. An online course available for everyone for free would nice too.

> what are we supposed to do for the next 30 or 40 years

Everything else we've been doing. Calling out bullshit when we see it, explaining why it's wrong and how it's being used to manipulate people.

> What are we supposed to do when this disinformation education is corrupted by people who themselves have already fallen victim to disinformation because they haven't been educated properly?

Isn't this is a risk with teaching anything anywhere? The good news is that it'll be a lot easier for students to catch issues with how they're being educated when they can think for themselves and are trained in how to catch bad arguments.
Censorship isn't about doing what is right. It is about promoting authoritarian ideas to maintain status quo. It is an abuse tactic that decides for you what is right and wrong and doesn't give you a choice.
Protobufjs is good, but I can't use it because it's only a protobuf library, not a gRPC library. I end up having to use grpc-web, with all the problems it comes with.

Well yeah, except he's talking about bringing back Vine, which is incongruous with the typical LBO strat.

Some healthcare provider organizations now employ medical scribes who follow physicians around and do all their EHR data entry. This is expensive, but can be cost effective because then the physicians have more time to perform billable procedures.

>I love the irony of this statement.

How is it irony?

The first amendment:

>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Has only been expanded by the courts to apply to all levels and branches of government, and they're not allowed to outsource (14thS1) it and very clearly says that the government cannot abridge speech. Which is exactly what DHS was conspiring to do with big tech.

People get free speech. The government does get a say in the matter. People who are acting members of the government being held accountable for violation of the 1st amendment is a great way to illustrate the difference between free speech and the first amendment.

If this were only big tech/other companies the first amendment wouldn't apply and your comment would have merit, but with the DHS involved this is just wildly unconstitional and there's nothing ironic about it.
Right, I've thought this too. I mentioned in another reply that, on the one hand, I appreciate the CEO giving me some time/space to figure out how to approach this delicately. On the other hand, I feel he should be providing more support to me in this scenario. How exactly though is kind of a good question.

My master password is written down in a sealed envelope, which has been placed in a secret place that my wife knows (but always forgets). My lawyer has a sealed envelope with the location of the secret place, and my will has instructions to give that envelope to my wife (in case she forgets the secret place, which is often). The will also says who gets ownership of the secret place and the envelope in the case with both die together.

When my kids get older they'll move to the top of the access list for the envelope with the location of the secret place and ownership of said place.
