Yep, this is the fundamental difference between EU and US laws for consumables.

In the EU the manufacturer needs to prove the ingredients are safe.

In the US they need to prove they're not harmful. "not harmful" != "safe"
That first quote (as well as the rest of the article) supports the view that people tend to underestimate the usefulness of procedures they are not yet using and especially to overestimate their own abilities.
It also shows that social pressure is the opposite of what it was in Semelweiss time, even people who feel they are above such things start using them (and then some of them get convinced that they were wrong).

The part you quoted from your second link directly contradicts your claim that most surgeons don't think it improves safety (even if the 54.7% is among the 93.6% that use it that still gives 51% that think it improves safety).
wow yeah i wonder why they even bothered writing this whole article, good point
Germany has freedom of opinion, not freedom of speech. While they're generally understood (in Germany) to be the close to the same, they're not understood the same outside of Germany.

You're allowed to think whatever you want, but you're not allowed to publicly say it, unless it's within the bounds of legal opinion (which are pretty wide, it's not like you're only allowed to state one opinion, but they are also clearly limited). Insults, while clearly speech, are forbidden and it's part of the penal code (up to one year in prison, but it's usually settled by fines), so not a civil matter.

What Germany certainly doesn't have is a culture of free speech. It's important to remember that the last totalitarian dictatorship in (East) Germany only ended 30 years ago, and there was very little freedom of speech there, and the limits were violently enforced.

German culture highly values conformity, and it's no accident that the spiral of silence was proposed by a German researcher (Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann), it essentially argues that people check their views for majority-compatibility and will stay silent if they find that they're not accepted. Because they stay silent, others who think like them will find their ideas not accepted in the majority and will also stay silent etc etc, as an act of social survival (which it certainly is in Germany, but isn't as much in countries with a culture of free speech).

> speech absolutism and value neutrality of the constitution of the Weimar Republic

The Weimar Republic had largely the same fundamental laws regarding freedom of speech as the Federal Republic of Germany today: you're allowed to say what isn't outlawed by a law, and you must not be punished for saying it.

"There is no precedent that suggests it protects "recommendations"."

That is not true. Majorities in Dryoff and Force did suggest that 230 protects recommendations.

But there were also dissenting opinions in each case.
If you think Visa & MasterCard will be stumped because "oh no, they're not actually using our cards to pay for sex workers, they just buy a funny internet coin that can be used for many things including sex work", you're mistaken. They'll pressure Stripe into giving the list of purchases under threat of banning Stripe from their network if they don't cooperate, see that many have been made to "Porn Company Inc.", then threaten to ban Stripe from their network if they do not prevent such purchases.

The way you get around the utterly stupid rules set by them is not through more technology layers. It involves a bit more physical violence at MasterCard HQ, as it always happened when unjust rules were made.
As someone who has helped a few companies change frameworks I can say with confidence that it all boils down to developer adhesion within the product teams more than anything the frameworks have to offer. If a few people don't get over their own personal biases they are likely to drag development time down even unintentionally, and the performance of the application will suffer from more shortcuts being made. A well written Vue2 app can be much more performant than a poorly written Svelte app. That said, here are a few observations I have made.

Vue2/3/Svelte is the easier frameworks for the widest range of developers to use and maintain apps for. This is because of their approach to templating VS that of React for instance, not to mention how they handle styling though Vue2/3 is even a rung above that of Svelte when it comes to CSS.

React is great if you want to convince the money people because they are more likely to have heard about it and how everyone is using it.

Svelte has a lot of odd bugs and associated hacks you have to figure out, such as looping over a list may sometimes not work at all and you need to place it within {# key} hack, this re-renders everything within the block though so it kills performance.

SvelteKit is unusable at this point, the routing system has undergone several major changes for example but there are constantly several breaking changes, DO NOT USE.

Vue3 typescript support is near perfect, I have had more problems getting full typescript support in Svelte and React.
Yes, by giving IE away for free while bundling it with Windows, at a time when Netscape was trying to sell their browser - basically the polar opposite of what Google and Apple are doing with their app stores.

Since then, it has become completely expected that any consumer OS includes a bundled web browser for free.

Not that MS is not doing many other shady things to try to control what you do and push their products in today's Windows, mind you. The only point is that, as bad as consumer computing was in the 90s, it's much much worse today in terms of user and developer freedom/choice.
Those technologies don't prevent vulnerabilities they prevent (or raise the cost of) exploitation.

If you're talking about the library I think you are, from what I could see there weren't any tests of the numerics (nor comparisons of the output from competing libraries), which is quite concerning?

I do think Rust will make inroads, but more because of better WASM toolchain,so loading data into the browser is significantly easier than with JS (e.g. https://crates.io/crates/moc).
I'm not at Google, but I noticed that I have to rinse the coffee cup with hot water 2-3 times, before I take it to the coffee machine. If I forget to do this, my stomach will hurt.

My suspicion is that modern dishwashers use too little water.

A colleague has his own coffee cup with a custom design, which he hand-washes. I might do the same.

> NAT punching definitely tells other peers your NAT's IP address

Yes, and that's all you share, so when the NAT is shared with other people (like other students on a campus for instance, or other customers of your phone mobile phone carrier) the amount of info that can be collected is much lower than if you have a public IP address for your computer.

> Unless you're behind CGNAT

Did you read what I wrote above, when I said: “at least when we're talking about a NAT you share with other people, not just your ISP box's NAT”.

> (and often your local address too, but that's less important).

Here you're mixing up the hole-punching part with the signaling protocol (ICE, which have had this issue in the past, before browsers switched to mDNS[1] instead of private IP addresses in ICE candidates).

Yes, it's clear his storytelling and characters are just devices in service of writing fiction about math. But that's all right.
You are making a foolish ignorant statement that he himself has made about cryptocurrency.

Very few technologies are all good or all bad as you desire to paint this one to be. The world exists in the gray area in between. It’s a tool that has the potential for good and evil, like cash, or nuclear power, or encryption, or the internet.

Anyway, this is a digression and something I find infuriating about cryptocurrency stories on HN. Scroll down and people pop in and want to relitigate whether cryptocurrency should even exist like they are the first person that ever had this idea on HN.

This is a story about how Stripe is implementing fiat to crypto on-ramps. It’s not a story about “should cryptocurrency exist?” or “is cryptocurrency a scam?” But that’s all this conversation will devolve into.

If more money is going to the right causes why the holier-than-art-thou thought process. It was the same criticism with the ice bucket challenge. "people don't care about ALS..." "nor about <fit your cause here>".

It gets more money into good causes. If <said thing> didn't exist, they'd have less money.

Exnaton | Remote EU | Full-Time | https://www.exnaton.com

At Exnaton, we build software for renewable energy communities and energy sharing. Our software processes energy data from smart meters in households and does high resolution tariffing and billing of energy flows. We sell it in a SaaS model to utility companies, so they can offer their customers attractive products around distributed renewable energy generation. We are a seed stage company, spun off of ETH Zurich, are currently a team of 18, and are supported by great funds such as True Ventures, Global Founders Capital and Uebermorgen.
We operate a stack with a backend built in a strict micro-services pattern with polyglot services, written mostly in TypeScript and some in Python. Technologies are chosen to fit the purpose (e.g. time series, relational, no-sql databases). All deployments rely on Helm and run on platform-agnostic Kubernetes clusters. If you're motivated to work with latest technologies, but in a really impactful sector and not just some unnecessary e-commerce or the next faster food delivery, you are the right fit for us.
We're currently hiring for the following roles:

- Backend/Cloud Engineer (backend and AWS cloud ops, EU only)

- Front End Developer (remote)

- Business Development (EU only)

https://www.exnaton.com/career
Frontend changes seem to be the changes for the sake of the changes.

Last time there was a meaningful major improvement is when React devs came up with practical implementation of view=f(model) idea.
> My brother and sister study Japanese and they use jisho, which is much worse. When I hassle them about it, they're not aware of anything better.

Not sure if this is exactly what you have in mind, but have a look at https://ichi.moe. It splits a sentence into tokens and then gives you the JMdict entries for each token (i.e. same base dictionary data as Jisho).
> Since you must have already read my above comment about punishable speech that "in context, directly causes specific imminent serious harm", you must now be arguing that there are words beyond that which cause violence.

Correct.

> Words are not violence.

Sure. But I never claimed as such. I said words could cause violence. Combustion is not flight, and yet combustion, in the right circumstances, causes flight. Two things need not be equivalent for there to be a causal relationship between them.

> you turn into the censor.

Assuredly, but here you're begging the question. Why is becoming the censor an ill that must, at all costs, be avoided?

> It draws people towards the cause you seek to censor, not away from it.

This is a common claim, but we know it to be untrue. While certainly, some people may be drawn to the restricted section of the library, fewer people will ultimately here the material than if it's being preached about on the street. We see this with censorship all the time, both empirical examples (censorship of sex-related topics in religious communities) and quantifiable ones [0].

> Fundamentally, this is the exact opposite of the point I'm making

No, I mean that in the quote you provided, his claim that "in our experience, actually censoring makes things work" is totally unsupported. You have to trust him that that's true, and of course the guy who runs the free speech organization is going to say that censorship is bad. If he didn't believe that, he wouldn't run the free speech organization. My simple question is "what if there's a point after which free speech actually makes things worse"?

I mean you already agree that such a point exists: imminent violent action. But presumably I could come up with other examples of things you'd be okay with censoring (CSAM is a common example). If you're okay banning that speech, what's the harm in moving the needle a bit in one direction or the other, especially if moving it results in a society that is more stable?

I think there are good and nuanced answers to all of those questions, but you aren't even engaging with them because you seem to be claiming that, without exception, it is obvious that the optimal and least harmful choice when picking what speech we should ban is "imminent violence incitement and nothing else", and when I ask "why set the bar there", you quote someone who says "trust me". That's not convincing.

"as much as he was trying to save the world from much worse fate."

So do you think the world would be in a better shape today, if the world would have listened to Neumann and had its nuclear war?

The characterization of starting a nuclear war as genocidal is very acurate, no matter how "noble" the intentions were. Stalinist sowjet russia was hell on earth, but nuking them would have just made hell spread and worse.

Von Neumann was clearly a genious. But when you leave out the dark details, it just becomes cult like glorification. I don't think, there should be a disclaimer everywhere he is mentioned, but in a praise article like this, it should be included.
...so does Svelte?
Probably more computation, much in the same way technology is sometimes used to solve problems it creates.

I see that as an advantage. Everytime I see components passed as props or a callback passed as child in react I regard it as a big red flag that something is wrong with the architecture of either the app or react itself.
The idea is that you don't look. A handle is opaque. You don't care or depend on what's in it. Doesn't matter if it's actually a number or a string.

As for sending over a network, that's the low level details. You can keep high-level types most of the way.

> This is an argument against laws, corruption, and government.

No, it's an argument for studying the history of law and understanding that some are good and some are bad. They don't come with a cover sheet saying so. You need to figure it out for yourself.

> Laws can be written and misapplied.

All the more reason to study them and give careful consideration to how they have been misapplied in the past. We're in agreement there.

You're a different commenter than above, so I'm not sure if your main point is to agree with them, disagree with me, or both, and on what exactly.

> It's clear that you can have stability and discussion and support for fairly extreme ideologies under the more restrictive speech standards of Europe.

I think any anti hate speech laws are more experimental than the American experiment. The point of free speech is to protect minority voices. It was championed in the '60s when the left needed it, and it rose from the ashes in the early 1900s after Comstock tried to surreptitiously-but-not-so-surreptitiously squash it. The censor never calls himself a censor.
Date Masamune: the samurai who inspired Darth Vader (2016)
Ask HN: How do travel-based startups cope with the expensive Google services?
It seems the Google geo APIs (Places, Maps) have become unrealistic and unusable.

Suppose you have a travel planning tool, like wanderlog, and you need to display the details for all the places in your plan.
Fetching the place details for all those items, multiplied by the number users, multiplied by the times an average user views/edits his plan, means that on a relatively medium or even small scale - the startup will go bankrupt.

Now, suppose you have the money to pay :
Since Google's Place Details API does not support Bulk fetching, you need to fetch the details for all the places in your plan separately.
The only performance-viable solution would mean to spawn multiple async tasks to fetch those details in parallel.
However, very soon you would reach rate limit.

What about caching? :
The current caching terms of use, unlike some years ago, allow you to cache only Lat+Long and place id. (not even the title!)

So, either companies like wanderlog/tripit/etc. simply cache all the details (which is illegal), or there is another solution that I'm missing here.

Would love to hear your experiences or simply opinions on the matter.
Try buying them some drinks.
the Overton window basically. That's where the constant vigilance and discussion comes in, to keep open the possibility of moving the window. for example, I still hear a LOT about conspiracy theories, anti-vaxx, etc... even though I don't want to. It's basically two sides shouting as loud as they can that the other side is talking nonsense, just one side is the government that the majority of people voted for and support, so gets a lounder voice. Anyone equating how speech about covid restrictions or vaccinations was handled in most of Europe vs true authoritarian repression of discussion about changing governments in China, Iran, etc... is hyperbolic, disingenuous or ill-informed.

Societal totalitarianism is a very real concern. In its benign form it leads to quirky cultures and in its extreme leads to total suppression of any opposition to the zeitgeist, even without a fully authoritarian government. Unfortunately there's a massive fuzzy grey boundary between the two and it's up to the people of a country to course correct when they can, as getting back from a restrictive society is difficult.
I question the project heads for deciding to migrate rather than build a new product UI side by side with the existing from scratch.

Since 2014, we have done this several times

UI+backend went from [Cruddy coffeescript + Node.js] to [Jquery + django] to [React 15 + django] to [React 17 + django] and after we were acquired [AngularJS + django] is ongoing.

Backend has been python since the beggining.

Public API server went from python to golang.

Compute and Infra went from private baremetal to k8s.

At no point was there ever any already running code being refactored or framework updated.

We build an improved clone of what exists and plug it in after its been used by enough people in beta. We dont throw the old stuff away until new deployments are working on client premises under high loads and extreme usage.

We dont force clients to upgrade unless serious bug fixes exist.

We never change UI in a way that older customers have to do anything different - unless its a major feature upgrade.
What's the alternative, really?
