I grew up in a very oppressive, very controlling cult. They made heavy use of control over language to exert psychological pressure on people and it was exactly like this, 100%. You could identify who was a member and who wasn't by these weird little phrases people would use. Each phrase had a story behind it, usually about what a horrible person you supposedly were in some way (for which the fix was the submitting to the church's doctrine of course).

As late as 1881 (James Garfield) and quite possibly 1901 (William McKinley), US presidents subject to assassination attempts died far more because of the interventions of doctors than despite them.

In Garfield's case, doctors probed his wounds and sought the bullet with ungloved and unsterilised bare fingers. The Wikipedia account of McKinley's post-shooting medical treatment also describes manual probing of the wound, though it's not clear whether or not antisceptic practices were followed, and given that the bullet had perforated both the stomach and colon, it's likely that visceral matter would have given rise to the gangrene which ultimately killed him regardless. Broad-spectrum antibiotics were of course not available.
As unsurprising as it is absurd if you're familiar with the petulant child that is James Dolan.

Agreed, the recruiter representing the hiring process at Amazon was/is very disrespectful indeed.

Some like being unencumbered legally... so much so... a few more grand for the tax man make zero difference where you work.

Amazon survives only as long as companies keep falling for the loss leader IT service models. Cloud-compatible is far wiser than a vendor lock-in that would make Oracle blush.

Best of luck =)
Finally, GPT-3 at work, digesting millions of articles, what would this result in the future? ChatGPT becoming the new news search engine. Interesting and frightful at the same time.
Yes this was exactly my thought. Every day we hear about someone kicked off google without recourse, often because of an automated decision incorrectly made. How long until people are banned from public venues for the same reason?

For a long time now, governments have failed to modernize laws and regulations, and companies have stepped in with their own vigilante systems. We don't need more regulation, but we need updated standards for how technology like facial recognition can be aligned with previous norms and laws that came into existence when mass surveillance and communication tech didnt exist
I've seen a few high-profile younger Rust programmers doing C++ work since mozilla laid so many off. I think younger people will do that work going forward, especially if there are too many workers relative to jobs, itself a product of industry "learn to code" marketing. As an older worker now I guess I could do Cobol or something, but that stuff is ancient even for me (I did use it for a week in college).
These lists are like tax evasion charges for drug runners. If they can't get you for any actual crime, they'll tag you for using the wrong words and run you out of the university. If you're in good standing and not disagreeable, they may forgive you. If you express problematic views like some other viewpoints should be considered, they can use a wrong word to investigate you non-stop until you quit, or just fire you outright for not representing the values of the university.
I haven't heard anyone complain about how Rust programs are packaged. Take your passive aggressive bullshit somewhere else.
Billionaires Are a Security Threat
That's our current line of thinking too. As in, if the market goes, we'd get dinged on our down payment but still recuperate most of it when we sell 5 years later. Assuming it's not a catastrophic market crash.

I know there's also a cost-benefit analysis involved surrounding all the various fees and taxes.

The biggest "what-if" risk is probably liquidity.

I mean, in the 1980s turbo era F1 engines were putting out way more than that--try around 1000 hp/l!

That was done with absurd levels of boost, fuel that bore little to no chemical resemblance to gasoline, and engines with a life expectancy (in qualifying trim) measured in single-digit laps.

The advances in modern engines' efficiency and reliability are staggering.

It's not the end of the world(or even twitter) unless the reason they missed a payment is that twitter is insolvent, it's merely a indication that twitter isn't bound for new greatness anytime soon.

The likely scenario for pre-musk twitter is a slow decent towards irrelevance which frankly might not be a bad thing for society. And the way it's likely to happen is death by a thousand cuts as the roughly 250million(mostly non-us based btw) non celebrity users of twitters start to be annoyed with the twitter experience and drift towards different sources for casual entertainment.

I think there was a link-shortener back in the day (when people used link-shorteners) that did this. The exact same way. I can't remember what happened to them... if they went out of business in a month because nobody used the service, or if it took two months.

So many problems here. Once I have the link, I can just re-share it and bypass the paywall. For starters.

But also, smaller stuff... the UX on the paywall is bad. It needs a preview... UX on the whole of the site is very bad. If you're going to charge, make sure it's a good experience. Not just something that looks like someone slapped it together in a basement in an hour. Get a real designer, a logo, a brand theme... It'll add trust.

The costs seem to not be great in terms of what the content creator gets to keep.

Another option is to use a VPS + nginx + a wireguard VPN.

Your home web server can establish a VPN connection to the public IP of your VPS, meaning you still don't need to worry about dynamic addresses changing or opening ports on your router. This is essentially what a Cloudflare tunnel is.

Granted a VPS isn't usually free. But some places like Oracle Cloud do offer free-tier compute, as well as fly.io.

My employer fits your first criteria precisely. Turbo and Stimulus provide exactly as much interactivity as we need. The appearance is that we're trying to avoid Javascript. The reality is that we are (successfully) minimizing context switching when working on the code base.

Credit card chargeback. If you were prudent enough to pay by credit card. That did the trick for me.

After I proved to my bank's satisfaction the fraudulent behavior (what was promised on his web site: screen shot, refund offer on his web site: screen shot, several emails without reply: attachment, HN and Reddit threads: screenshot) and after my bank sent me a message that the chargeback was approved, I suddenly got a refund message from Pinboard shortly thereafter. I guess merchants get a last chance warning by VISA or so?

I looked into that... Outlet timers are now more expensive than a smart power plug ($10 vs $5). I went the smart route.
If someone requests no replies, regardless of the merits, the best thing to do is probably to simply walk away. Even if you're otherwise apologising.

HN's comment-collapse feature may help with this. I frequently use that to avoid "final word" temptation myself.
In a professional context, using your real name? I never would, in this political climate. I probably never would have anyway, but morality is unimportant in the face of zealousness.

Marp: Markdown Presentation Ecosystem
The drawing actually needs arbitrarily high precision in the worst case. Consider a nearly horizontal line segment spanning the whole viewport where the endpoints' y coordinates are arbitrarily close to the boundary line between two pixels, on either side. You've got to decide (1) where to put the endpoints, and (2) where to split the line segment if the endpoints end up being placed at differently rounded y coordinates. Both steps might require high precision, and for either of them it might be computationally infeasible to get an exact result. (The latter step depends on a ratio of arbitrarily small subpixel deltas, and bounding such a ratio exactly is what might be infeasible.)
The hypothetical "someone" in my sentence (a professor or a student) is indeed probably male if I look at him closely. I pass no comment on whether professors or students _should_ generally be male; but at the same time, have no qualms with imagining them as such. I understand that many think differently, and have seen plenty of texts where an imaginary character of unspecified sex is introduced with a third-person singular feminine pronoun (a random example: "For a Product Owner to properly adapt a product, she needs some empirical evidence, something to inspect", from "The Professional Product Owner" by Don McGreal and Ralph Jocham). My argument is that if should be perfectly fine for a writer to use the default gender that he is most comfortable with.
Have you considered that all what you described is not happening in a vacuum, but rather, is a standard reaction of language to censor its users and circumvent the meaning they tried to convey. Humans are very adaptable and that is partially why this is a never ending endeavor ( and if I was a more cynical person, I would say this is also why it is pushed -- its a cushy position with no chance of ever being completed ).

But you know why it is really a bad thing? The actual loss of this weird focus on controlling language?

It is us. I am about to start a volunteer position with mentoring kids from underprivileged backgrounds and after the interview with the organization, I am genuinely considering dropping despite very clear positive impact this would have on the kids ( which is why I am preparing for it to begin with ). Thing will be virtual ( and recorded ), I was given a speech about white supremacy ( and asked how I feel about it ) and now I am worried that any bad word may result in career sanctions ( in other words, it is a net negative for me ).

This is just one example. It is suddenly possible that I can't pass on any real knowledge for fear of fucking myself and my family over.

<< This is sometimes used maliciously though - like how a contraction about being against facism somehow got a bad connotation (antifa), or how being aware of social injustices is bandied about by right-wing outlets (woke).

Those outlets certainly amplify it, but are you saying there is no objective reason for it happening ( for example, "being against fascism" often is being accompanied by 'punch a nazi' -- is that ok )? It is a real question and I am curious about your answer.
You will need to actively prune bad content posted by users on your server or other servers will block you. If you dont have other people on your instance, then you only need to worry about your posts being so bad that other servers ban you. There is no way to know how many moderators there are on Mastadon servers, as it is decentralized. Also, twitter had large amount of moderators as it's userbase is WAY HIGHER than mastodon. We are talking hundreds of millions of more active users.

Kings of the time didn't think of the modern trick: (1) making gold useless to make tax payments and (2) creating your own fiat money, with no backing on anything but the power to make more wars.
Looks kinda cool, but some feedback:

* I agree with other posts that the site does download quite a bit of resources for what amounts to text on a page.

* The site doesn't render with JS disabled. My guess is this was built with some JS framework -- maybe look into SSR? Could help reduce the amount of resources downloaded by the client.

* Custom domains would be nice, for example `veonid.com/id/kevinfiol`

Right now, this looks like an inferior version of Linktree (example: https://linktr.ee/idarzikfth) or, although a paid service, omg.lol (https://home.omg.lol/).
Well, you got one of your assumptions wrong at least (probably two, since you probably forgot to mention you likely assume that everyone here is from one of the wealthy "Western" countries).

Regardless, I'm a speaker of English, and I have read up on the origin of most of those words, and understand how connotations work - apparently better than whoever put together this list, who seems to think "whitespace" is using white in a way which implies white=good, or "black box" somehow implies that black=bad.

Also note, words are rarely a real problem. People can use perfectly normal good words to belittle you, even unintentionally (my father was asked a few times "do you have Google there?", for a country that's been a member of the EU for well over 10 years). The attitudes people have don't particularly change with the language they use.

Reminds me of a segment John Stewart once did, where a state senator from some US state took the word and started complaining that "African-American kids just don't learn as well as white kids, they just lack the mental ability [...]". As John joked at the time - if you're going to be that unabashedly racist, just call them the n-word, it won't make things worse.

I remember things differently. While the Amiga was a great gaming machine, I remember Commodore pushing it as a desktop productivity machine, more emphasizing stuff like paint and music apps.

IIRC, the lack of a hard drive issue came down to keeping costs down.

I don't remember a specific issue with "low res graphics". Of course the flicker issue was present, but that didn't really become an an issue until later in the Amiga's life, and only on the low end models.

Regardless, it was certainly a very well-rounded platform. Definitely not "just a game machine" by any stretch.

Caveat: I was in the Amiga world in the 1000/500/2000/3000 days. I've never used or seen the later generation stuff, such as the 4000 or A1200.

I bet Jared Kushner is gutted that he wasn't first in line to that position (take a look at the early Twitter leak links that show him actively jockeying for a position within Twitter via sycophantic tweets) and the way he positioned himself with Elon Musk at the Qatar soccer World Cup.

On an amusing side note – I have noted an increase in people referring to Elon as El Ron Musk as a play on words comparing Musk to L Ron Hubbard (the founder of Scientology).

> I wouldn't describe "Son of the President" or "Son of Potential President" as a complete nobody.

As much as nobody as Barbara and Jenna Bush.

Trump's children actually work for their father, serve on his staff, benefitted from tons of nepotism during his administration. Most presidential children don't do any of that. Most of them are either children who just happen to live in the White House, like Chelsea Clinton or Malia and Sasha Obama, or they're living their own lives, like Barbara and Jenna Bush, or Hunter Biden.

It's important to understand that a president's children are not normally serving in his administration, on his staff, or holding any sort of office.

> It's been verified by independent journalists.

What I understand is that people verified that that hard disk has been massively tampered with, lots of content was added later, and it's not clear it was ever actually the property of Hunter Biden.

It's fine to investigate it, but it's not remotely on the level of political scandal of the previous administration. And even that prosecution is moving glacially slow.
Is Stanford going to stop issuing Masters' degrees?
> I am not "inventing a new definition of ban evasion".

Yes, you are. You've already admitted that your novel definition of "ban evasion" is not the usual use of the phrase (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34047933) and that the phrase typically refers to something completely different (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34045113). Twitter's own definition of "ban evasion" differs from what you are claiming the phrase to mean (https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/ban-evasion).

> I am using simple English words in a straight-forward way.

No, you are taking a phrase that already has a defined meaning in the context of Twitter and making up a new definition for it to attempt to justify the suspension. As Twitter has already defined it, "ban evasion" is the circumvention of an existing ban or suspension. It is not something that can be done by an account that is not already suspended or banned.

I have no idea why you are continuing to defend this unjustifiable suspension even after Twitter has already reversed it. The fact that your initial comment is flagged, downvoted, and hidden (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34044649) shows that your argument has been firmly rejected on HN.

No the AI still has to work on an Operating System and people will always need computer science to understand the fundamentals of how these things work.

Can’t comment on the state of machine learning/ai as it is not my field of expertise but I would also guess no. The mathematical basis on which ai is based is not going to radically change. Linear algebra etc is always going to be useful no matter what happens.

Neil Gaiman says that he visualised becoming a writer as climbing a mountain and weighed up every decision as whether it took him closer to the summit. I would say you need to get clarity on what your ultimate goal is/which mountain you want to climb and then evaluate taking the masters in relation to that. We can never be sure if we are going to make it to the top regardless so you’ve got to have a little bit of faith. And you could very well fail at whatever your back up plan is so you might as well take a chance on the thing you actually enjoy.

This is fantastic development, something that really makes a difference in how you can use Obsidian. I got notified from LogSeq group that they are also introducing whiteboard, so clearly innovation is happening at really good pace.

There is more room for innovation, as these "thinking spaces" are still inflexible and I expect to see more good things. Obsidian has huge advantage that is open and you are never scared to lose your work in somebody's walled garden.
