If it's such a hard tradeoff then maybe don't make the trade in the first place. Just don't censor speech. Problem solved.

Insisting on censoring speech in this case is what's known as a Hegelian dialectic: there is a problem, we need to solve the problem, here's how we solve the problem.
In the OP story, the car was losing charge while plugged into 110V outlet, that means that 1.5 kW was not enough to keep the battery warm. An extra 1kWh might or might not get it into actually charging and even if it's been charging at 1kW it would not get 4 miles per hour, the car driving in these conditions would still use energy to keep the battery pack at the working temperature.

On a side note, I find it amusing when Brits try to brag about their superior electricity due to the progressive 240V. People living in the houses wired in a ring [1], which set themselves ablaze when they try to turn on AC, in my imagination would be more reserved ;)

We've decided that speech that is harmful is not allowed. Encouraging people to not get a vaccine we decided is harmful speech. Like telling you to kill your self, or the yelling fire in a theater.

Are you not OK with that example of speech though? Dangerous speech seems to make you uncomfortable no?

This should tell you something.
Taking the time to name it nicely now costs almost nothing vs wasting your time trying to prove it can be refactored later and then doing that refactor later. Why? What are you getting out this? Taking 1 second to name it nicely vs the time it costs for everyone to listen to you "make a case for brevity", just please don't be that person. No one likes or respects that person more even when you are right.
It's great that you deal with faulty devices honestly. I sell my own share of broken devices too. The difference between us and these sellers is we're honest and upfront about faults, instead of trying to pass off broken devices as "tested and working". The fact that they instantly issue a refund without even a single peep suggests to me they know fully well what they're doing and that it's profitable for them. Regardless of whether they do this intentionally or just out of reckless disregard, whatever metrics are supposed to be getting ruined by this evidently aren't getting ruined enough; my experience shows the problem is clearly there.
Please stay within the rules as outlined by the guidelines. Thanks!
I think the issue is anything except “the vaccine is perfectly safe”, despite being demonstrably false, was until recently considered “misinformation” and a censorable/bannable offence. Now if you want to make the argument that banning facts for the greater good is acceptable that’s one thing, but nobody seems willing to admit they’re in favour of that in so few words.
People (on HN) are acting like the misinformation being targeted was innocent stuff on 51:49 judgement calls — complete retconning of the abject lunacy profiteers were out there saying. Talk to anyone in health care, people were nebulizing bleach and hydrogen peroxide, convincing their vets to give them literal animal medicine when the supplies of human ivermectin were cut off, taking fish antiparasite drugs, and on and on. There were prominent VCs who claimed they “were literally saving lives” by incessantly promoting sham medicines. Many of the “doctors” in those front line groups made millions of dollars off their grifts in selling rxs to anyone with a check book. I don’t know that there were better citizens than Pfizer and Moderna during the pandemic, but there were absolutely much worse ones.

i would be more alright with twitter doing no policing if they also did nothing to promote or curate any content. this means no recommendations, no trending, no "recommendations" and might also mean no ads.

if they are gonna to have all that, which i think they need to survive as a business, then the next best thing would be to empower users to have more control over the content they see ala email filtering
We have direct evidence of federal pressure from multiple federal sources. We can see from what's been released that Twitter's leadership had concerns when pushing back even in the slightest. To assert that Twitter could have ignored that pressure and the requests that accompanied it without repercussions would be incredibly naive.
This is defiantly true in my case.
Honestly, yeah. Have you read their reporting?
I wonder why people believe that CDC must always be right, and therefore any doubt or challenge to CDC’s messages is misinformation that is worth banning. I thought every school in a modern society teaches student not to blindly trust the authority.

They didn't deny anything. They stated that the issue isn't so black and white as you'd like it to be. You responded in kind by simply labeling them a "denier" even though nowhere in their response did they deny anything.

Oh my issue with reddit.com is similar but different: I'll get a notification badge, tap it, see "Messages (1)", tap that, and then get "there doesn't seem to be anything here" under the Unread tab.

Once I switch to "Inbox" I can see the new message. Of course, if it's a long thread I have to find the bottom of it first.
Wouldn't it depend on the demographic? Covid was not equally deadly among all ages and groups. Is it wrong to point out that the risk is significantly lower for the young and healthy? And what if it's experts questioning policies such as keeping lower income students home? Or the effectiveness of masking mandates beyond a certain point or situations of low risk like being outdoors?
Oh I didn't think of that. LRU makes a lot of sense, especially since it's just the default big mess with an expiry.

My first line of defense with tech is volume reduction on the stuff itself. Bluetooth over cables, software over hardware, USB-C over everything else, resisting any kind of random tinkering gadgets in favor of phone apps and zero-friction stuff I'll set up and never bother to upgrade, etc.

If you never buy random stuff just because it looks cool, then when you really do want something you can afford to future proof it and sometimes get one thing that replaces multiple separate things.

I have one box dedicated just to power(Which I may split up into separate cables and batteries boxes) that has all my USBs not in active use.

USB-C has been fantastic. If you don't do a lot of fancy stuff with high data rates, it's an amazing way to collapse down the number of unique objects.
Nix's raison d'etre is building packages in as much isolation as possible. When building packages, HOME is set to /homeless.

However, for setting up stuff in $HOME, there's a popular tool which uses the Nix expression language as its configuration language: home-manager. Even then, home-manager is more about using nix to configure programs. (I use it to symlink dotfiles). Nix's default is "the stuff it symlinks is read-only".

For "ensure this directory exists", I'd have `mkdir -p <dir you want>` in your shell's init / rc file.

Go to reddit. Find an emotionally charged subreddit, become a member, and then offer to help moderate.

There are FAR too many people discussing things, people with real experience making things, talking about moderation without doing their homework.

Test your assumptions. See if it can work. Doing this while helping communities is not a bad way to go.
You can prove anything you want with RCTs if you do enough selective reporting. I think the vaccine probably saved more lives than it cost, but I'm a lot less confident because of how much bad-faith covering-up of any counterveilling evidence there's been.

(Were vaccine RCTs pre-registered? If they were, how many pre-registered trials were mysteriously stopped or abandoned?)
> I'm still waiting for everyone to drop dead from vaccine related injuries

I didn't have to wait at all. There was a noticeable increase in thromboembolic events after COVID-19 vaccination started in my city. Plenty of people were saved by friends in the emergency room.

The problem of course is not the vaccines, it's this insistence that they are risk-free. They are not. There is no such thing as zero risk in medicine. When you claim something false like that and people start to notice events that contradict your words, they will no longer trust you.

This is why the cost benefit analysis must be detailed and presented clearly to people. They should make the choice of their own accord. Trying to impose it on them is how you get "anti-vaxxers" who no longer trust anything you say. I don't blame them.

This is not even a modern phenomenon. Over a century ago there was a revolt in my country over forced vaccination.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_Revolt

> To eradicate smallpox, Dr. Cruz convinced the Congress to approve the Mandatory Vaccination Law on October 31, 1904, authorizing sanitary brigade workers, accompanied by police, to enter homes and apply the vaccine by force.

It's expensive in those areas because it's a better way of living, and more people want to do it (supply/demand). Nobody is competing to live in cookie-cutter suburbs where you need to drive 30 minutes everywhere - that's why it's cheaper. Suburban infrastructure is also massively subsidized by cities.

Also - renting is fine. Housing ownership as an investment vehicle is unsustainable.
The importance is that every free and democratic nation in the world has its’ policies influenced by the loudest voices on Twitter. So if Twitter amplifies an idea it becomes reality.
This may even be true, but you're missing a key point. There's a phrase and I think we're going to see a lot more of it surface in the discussions around this in the future. The phrase is "informed consent."

Informed consent means knowing the risks. It's why we have little packets of paper with side effects, why that guy on the radio rattles off "may cause ..." at the end of commercials for medicine. Being good for us on a statistical level does not in any way free the people who push whatever on us from the burden of informed consent.
In my house we had floppies of Duke, Commander Keen, and... Mario is Missing.
> one of the few things we know for sure

Objectively, with the rate of change and revelation surrounding the vaccine, I'm not sure how anyone can confidently assert that we know anything about it "for sure." We're learning new things about side effects and efficacy quite often at the moment.

Current data suggests that the virus is far more deadly for a certain segment of the population but there are significant negative health impacts for other segments of the population, while the feds and pharma are pushing even more vaccine use for demographics which have consistently shown low vulnerability.

There's simply too much nuance to make a blanket "we know for sure" statement about this. It's a living, evolving topic.
Perhaps Denmark is the exception then?
I don't see how those two things are mutually exclusive.

But yes, it is a filter, which is why business tend to start out on iOS for early revenue numbers, and only port to Android a year later at the earliest. If you start out on Android, you'll inherently have lower revenue numbers, and spending time on your Android app is basically burning money when you're still in your Angel/Series A phases.
Using "n" here instead of "user" just screams lazy... I wouldn't flag it either, and it will probably never be a problem is this case, but I would momentarily think of the dev that wrote "n" as lazy and worry a tiny bit more about what other code they are writing lazily as well. Don't be that person.
I wonder as well. That's just one government, as the article points out. Other governments had different responses, recommendations and policies. What made Sweden's approach for example, more wrong than the CDC?
This may be less about being a 90’s kid and more about getting older and having less time for nonsense.

I dont know how much the user paid to get my pi returned - but it couldnt have been much. They are pretty light and fit in a small envelope. It wasnt rush delivery or anything.

I imagine if the rate of return was 80%, and eBay didnt ban you, youd make money (minus your time)
It only starts to become a problem if you cant explain why its wrong. Having parts of your worldview that you told yourself are not up for verification is exactly how being wrong looks like from the perspective of somebody who is. And once you no longer have a means of verifying reality, you have no way to comprehend what you actually ignore and what the consequences are. You just blinded yourself because you felt smart enough to not need it.

By deciding what people (not just you) should or shouldnt think about you identified the problem, that people could be too dumb for that consideration and make mistakes, while blatantly ignoring that the same might not just apply to your decision as well, but that you are removing the fundamental solution to said problem. Verification.

Thats the problem. Not comprehending that the problem is more difficult that it seems and that the "easy" solution you propose has fundamental flaws that will result in catastrophic failure. Or worse, comprehending it but being overwhelmed and deciding to at least feel right regardless.

And unfortunately, i dont see a third option outside of said incompetence or said malice. I truly hope i am wrong because unfortunately there seem to be a lot of people embracing this stuff. But it also wouldnt be too surprising because talking about this gets awfully close to violating the board rules. Which would explain why this catastrophic idea can so easily spread.
This is true, but I think some are trying to have one space that isn't overwhelmed with these divisive conversations. It still leaks in, but the discourse usually doesn't degenerate into nastiness as much as I see on other sites.
Some domains are banned. Others are downweighted- that includes most media sites, including this one.
I'm sorry, "broad support"? It was a national joke at the time, and remains one of the great national jokes of the past 20 years. It was polled at the time (God help us) and a supermajority reported the idea was "silly". No restaurant chain in the country participated; so far as I know, it was only at the House cafeteria. Come on. I call shenanigans. You can't play the "freedom fries" card. Find another one!

(The implications of "freedom fries" is a much more interesting and curious conversation than the correct words to use to generalize across disfavored cohorts of Americans.)
The answer to this seems to be deciding YouTube videos are authoritative. Or other completely random sources which don't offer any credible evidence that their narrative is any better than the mainstream sources.
You can store TOTP info in it for sites if that's what you mean.
HN is just a last crutch for me after leaving reddit at this point. I prefer it because upvotes and downvotes are anonymous except for your own when it comes to comments, so there isn’t as much of a dopamine hit after posting when you really think about it.
I fear you are right.

The interesting thing to me is not what happened during COVID-19, but during the previous pandemic, the one that wasn't and that was nipped in the bud due to some very fortuitous circumstances and the speedy action of authorities and health care officials in many countries collaborating with unprecedented efficiency:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS

COVID-19 had some parameters slightly different, for instance the incubation time was a bit longer allowing it to spread undetected.

There is no reason to make any assumptions about the various parameters of the next pandemic but they could very well be worse than COVID-19 and the way we've dealt with this one makes me quite skeptical about our ability to come through this sort of thing unscathed, especially not if every Tom, Dick & Harry are going to run interference.

We got lucky, twice.
I'd imagine it works with termux.

Very cool! I would change the CSS to make the links more obvious though. Maybe change the color of the URLs?

Also, remove the links to wikipedia and robinhood and change it with links to your projects!
Does this assume specific units for the measurements of weight and circumference? If yes, what are those and how would one change the formulas for other units of measurement?
A 10 minute drive is not comparable to a 10 minute walk in any way.

Not sure where you are getting at with the specialty store thing - the nicest stores are always in cities, either a walk/bus/metro ride away. People in cities do more than ... walk to places. :)

What it really comes down to is this: a preference to live/work/etc in and around big-box parking lots and highways (where 70% of the land is parking), or to do the same in walkable neighborhoods with minimal parking (space replaced with more cool stuff).
Meh, HN seems very reasonable, but it seems there is small and very active group that flags posts like this. An organized group of 10-50 accounts can quickly censor anything, unless the mods intervene. Imo, flagging a post must be accompanied by an explanation, and the mods should review these explanations from time to time to catch such censorship teams.

In ordinary mathematics there are plenty of ways to define the real numbers, but they're all equivalent; you can translate from one to another and if anything's true of one then its translation will be true of another.

With the restrictions being used here, though, the different definitions aren't all equivalent, and apparently it turns out that one version of "the real numbers" is necessarily countable and another isn't (because it's countable "in a particular topos").

"Countable" and "enumerable" are the same thing. (But there's a separate term, "recursively enumerable", that means something else.)

One way to see that the rational numbers are countable: write them down in a sort of square where m/n goes in position (m,n). You'll have e.g. 2/3 and 4/6 and 6/9 and ..., all in different places, but that's harmless. Then start at (1,1) and walk along the finite diagonals: 1/1, then 1/2, 2/1, then 1/3, 2/2, 3/1, etc. Boom, you've counted the rational numbers :-).
Oh, this ... makes a lot of sense now?
They're the site's criteria? You know them just as well as I do, I honestly don't get what you're asking.
Since some people are down voting my post without given a reason, let me ask this here?

React.js is one of the leakiest abstractions I've ever seen. And the ecosystem is horrendous - it makes things slightly shorter to code at the cost of astronomical operational complexity.

I tried to drink the Kool Aid, and I got paid to write it, but it's just a bad idea to build a parallel abstraction, that leaks like a sieve, that needs its own browser tools, that pretends to be reactive but really isn't. I was so much more productive when I used vanilla js, plus the odd library as needed. And if you tell me react is "just a library" - great, remove it from your dependencies and tell me what % of files you now need to fix, because I've seen multiple react projects in the wild and they all look the same.
