As someone who doesn't follow any of this, having just heard of "sex realism", do trans people generally think they are a different biological sex than what their DNA and gene expression shows? I thought trans was about changing gender, not changing sex.
'TERFs' are just feminists who want to retain female-only spaces.

This is not a viewpoint that's even remotely comparable to Nazism, whose adherents are a distinct group with a set of beliefs that are inherently contradictory to feminism.

No, because the heat-pump (compressor) in the back needs to stand upright. Also the back has cooling fins that need air circulation

FYI: After transport you need to wait some time to let the oil in the compressor settle before turning it on. A level ground is also highly recommended.

Almost nobody who reads this but doesn't already know who Jesse Singal is will bother to do the mountains of reading needed to figure out the reality, so I feel that I need to provide a counterpoint. I'm quite familiar with Singal, and my reading is that he's judicious, fair, scrupulous, compassionate, but willing to explore touchy issues in a way that triggers his critics. We need more like him, and I encourage people who are interested enough to take a look and come to their own conclusions.

This is the amazing thing Yishan misses. He claims there's no difference between spam filtering, moderation and censorship.

How come he's been in charge at reddit all these years and never looked at it through the lens of "consent"?

Ask, can you consent to this? For spam filtering, the answer is obviously hell yes. That's pretty much how we define spam: stuff we don't want, and which essentially no one wants.

Moderation is when it's still about you and what you want for yourself, but where you concede that some people may want it. And it may be more or less OK that some people want it, but this is not the place for it. If you don't want religion or politics in your game discussion group, that's moderation.

Censorship is about controlling what other people want, in order to shape their opinions and beliefs. You can't coherently consent to it. You're not worried that there's some magically seductive piece of propaganda that will turn you into a Nazi, or a furry for that matter. No, you're worried that there's a seductive piece of propaganda that will work on other people. That's the defining aspect of censorship, that it's for other people's sake, not your own.

Now, censors will often claim that they're only doing it for themselves, that they just get so disgusted by furries (or whatever) that they just don't want to deal with it. A way to test that, is to see how transparent they are about their supposed moderation. If it's moderation, being transparent about it is perfectly fine. But for the censor, transparency is not possible, because even letting the poor flock know that the seductive information exists, could tempt them to go look for it.

Another way, of course, is whether they are content with moderating their own spaces. People that try their damndest to eliminate the thing they hate from existence with DDoS attacks, targeted harassment, or preventing communication they're not even a party to, are obviously censorious, not merely "moderating".

Now, there's a separate discussion of when, if ever, it's appropriate to censor. Maybe if we're talking about people who can't meaningfully consent and are easily manipulated (i.e. children). Maybe if there's some sort of existential issue at stake (e.g. national security).

But let's not pretend, like Yishan Wong does, that consent doesn't matter.

Only upon reading your comment did I realise that the Substack article I just read was not written by Jesse Singal.
We used to have those in the Netherlands before there was any attention paid to energy savings (~15 years ago). Freezers also used to be just open without any coverings. Budget supermarkets like Lidl and Aldi were the first to introduce both sliding glass doors on the freezers and doors on the standing fridges.
A cursory Google seems to say this is not a thing, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be, apart from having almost no market to justify its complicated manufacture.. and sliding baskets are probably cheaper and more practical

Point-by-point rebuttals are probably very annoying for the moderators, but knowing what actually gets moderated makes working with the rules easier. Imagine acting in a society where an often-invisible police enforces secret laws, you can blindly appeal, but you don't get to know what they're alleging you did, you don't get to defend yourself, the court is held in secrecy, and it's being made up entirely from members of the police. Predicting what is desired and then being maximally conformist is the safe way, or you just roll the dice, act the way you want, and hope that the secret police is similar enough to you that they'll tolerate it.

I closed my account when they discovered suspicious activity in my account, at least claimed so but apart from locking me out until I prove I am me with photo ID copy and independent sources about my address (bank statement, utility bill, ...), basically collecting more data on me, they did not make any steps tracking down this suspicious activity, not even explaining what it was, they did not report it to the authorities! It was complete unresponsiveness when I asked for details on the event, asking about reference to the case at the authorities, told them that I will report it myself to the authorities (someone doing something to my money!!) and need some info, nothing, complete silence!

My conclusion that they simply lied to my face!

I was around the time when PayPal got some bank like regulatory status in Ireland and might have needed some more data so they forced me to provide through a bullst claim. At least this is the only scenario I find feasible. I had very little money there, after gaining access again (giving them a lot of data on me) there was no sign of any activity there that not belonged to me, nothing.

I decided that their practices are shady and I will never ever trust them!

(I did not report it eventually to the authorities, even the preparation for it took time with little supporting material, and I already had an unrelated matter to tackle, it was simpler leaving them and spread their reputation. PayPal definitely did not bother reporting it as I was never approached or questioned about the suspicious activity in my account ever. It was about 10 years ago btw.)

Alternative take: I was at Google when they killed Reader. At the time they pulled the plug, Reader had already been destaffed for years and was kept going in one guy's 20% time. The infrastructure effectively ran itself - the underlying Google datacenter teams replaced machines when they died, everything else was automated.

My experience there was pretty consistent with that: if you leave things alone, they won't break. Virtually all breakage was caused by changing things. On a well automated system repairing the physical components, rolling OS updates from time to time and so on, is not a huge amount of work.
Logging into PayPal is now more annoying than logging into my German online banking. Which is telling as that is already a major pain.

Mine is ~8 years old Samsung with i don't know which energy efficiency class: 1,1-1,3kWh/24h

Vertical freezer with some 7 chests which is many more years older takes 0,6-1kWh/24h - probably depends when we open it and when not.

Probably better to look at monthly (October) stats: 38,64kWh Fridge, 21,81kWh for freezer.

Hmm, August 40/35; July 27/24. Dunno why it fluctuates so much. Ofcourse, October was heating season, but that doesn't seem to impact freezer for worse. Which is weird - it is 2 meters apart from heat source. But yeah, summer could hahve

You could argue that if the author pursued enforcing their licence over those 66 people their code wouldn't have ended up in the training set in the first place. IANAL but I recall that you can't invoke copyright law to selectively enforce it, copyright is only protected if the holder pursues every violation of it. Maybe it works the same for enforcing a licence.
I have been locked out of my account by the stupid 2FA made mandatory.

> ...but I do know that he's being held to a much higher standard than almost anyone else because of his race.

Your measuring stick is 90% blank. How you measure "higher standard" are table stakes in the Ivies.

csa already did a good job explaining this which apparently didn't sway you, so I'm going to try a different tack.

If you ever get the opportunity to meet in person face to face in an intimate setting with Bill Clinton, Barack Obama or Arnold Schwarzenegger, I encourage you to avail yourself, and observe as detached as you can. The change in the room is palpable and electric. Their charisma is off the charts powerful.

I'm familiar with Clinton's charisma, and it is stunning to watch at work. It isn't just his extraordinarily comprehensive recall, but also how he deploys it. You can observe the mechanics, like warmly restarting a thread of conversation with someone he last met a few years ago as if he simply turned around from another party guest a few seconds ago. But even among top politicians who employ the same technique, he stands out in the refined fashion with which he delivers it.

Think how many people regularly in your life have that kind of charisma. The Ivies still reject candidates with that level of magnetic personality because they lack in other dimensions.

By using the metrics you use, you are limiting your son and yourself. Those metrics come with a hard ceiling. Where the Ivies are going, there are no ceilings, there are no metrics in the first place. World class admissions means being open to von Neumann-scale, I-didn't-believe-that-possible possibilities to surprise the admissions committee and delight in that.

You don't achieve that surprise and delight with what you have mentioned so far.

Your son sounds like a terrific human being and you are rightfully fiercely proud of him and what you have accomplished as a parent and successful immigrant. Keep pushing forward on that trajectory, for college is not the pinnacle, just another foothill towards that summit reached at the end of our life. He can (and I'm sure will) still achieve incredible heights in his life, Ivy or not, as long as he continues to improve himself and the little part of the universe around him that he can personally make better. Successful dents in the universe have rarely historically come stamped with Ivy diplomas, and I wish someday to read about a dent your son makes and delight in my surprise at where that dent shows up.

> How is usage of a private company's private server resources any different?

If you push that argument to the extreme, why should anyone be allowed to publish anything in our county? They can always go someplace else and speak their mind, but we don't want it around here.

What I'm saying is that exists a gradient of power between the dictatorial (state censorship) and inconsequential (your couch), and we have a social contract that allows the same suppression of speech in the latter but disallows it in the former. We call the consequential type "censorship" but it's the same basic action, there is a gray area where private agents working under the authority of the state can be just as powerful censors as the state itself.

For example, if private banks deny services to a newspaper hostile to the government, I could take your argument and spin it around, they are "free" to publish on their own pocket cash, private banks are not forced to "offer a platform". But we clearly understand that publication will lose advertisers, fail commercial and the interests behind the banking ban will have succeeded in suppressing free speech - suggesting them to distribute leaflets will not help.

The cut-off point where private suppression becomes consequential censorship is, in my opinion, when the gatekeepers of speech are centralized and oligopolistic, like for example social media and, unlike for example, traditional print media. A single publication denying publication is perfectly fine, as long as others exists and have reasonable similar access to distributions channels. With the death of traditional print media and the highly concentrated nature of the visual media and internet space, this less the case.

You can of course publish on your blog with zero traffic, but you are effectively shut out of the relevant distribution channels, you are effectively distributing leaflets in your corner of the street.

It's probably the fact he has an audience. I can't speak for him, but that'd sure as hell light a fire under my ass—or at least significantly reduce procrastination.

Also, I find in periods where I've worked ~17 hours straight that the tiredness calms by brain to the point I'm normal and makes focus easy, albeit difficult in a different way due to fatigue. There's a weird drone zone there that's nice. Not something to make a habit of, though.
