Hate speech is the difference between "I disagree with your opinion" and "You should be killed for saying this". The latter is hate speech for which its explicit goal is to exclude the victim from the debate by inciting hate on them. When done by multiple individuals, you get harassment and the very important risk of harming the victim (directly or indirectly, morally or physically).

Let's say there's a group called "We Will Kill Them All", you might say that this is just words, but people live by words (politics is literally just that) and hate speech directly and explicitly encourages people to take an act on the victim and harm them. You might say that any individual could do that, but do not underestimate the power of a group binding people in hate, because this is one of the strongest bonds you can make (We v.s. Them) and peer pressure makes people ready to do much more horrible things than they'd do by themselves. One such example is the NSDAP party, many of their members wouldn't have been against the Jews if they had never interacted with this party. So do not underestimate the power of hate speech.

To go back to the Facebook case here, the problem isn't the concept of "hate speech", the problem is Facebook's bad enforcement of it cuz legally there's just nothing against this.

I wish they would close it down only for non-locals. Must really suck if you've lived in the area all your life, enjoyed the local scenery such as this for years without issue, and now that's taken away from you.
There are 4 types of 'pressures' a social media platform execs are facing

a) economic
b) legal
c) selective-outrage judicial/law enforcement
d) personal bias (of the execs)

In US, before Musk -- Twitter was succumbing to (c) and (d)
During Musk era, in US -- Twitter is facing (a) (c) (d) . Although it seems that (a) is not that strong/relevant.

In Turkey, today, Twitter is facing ( b ) and ( c ).

--

As users and observers we have to realize these pairs (Country + Pressure type union) and make relevant conclusions about the Country and about Twitter execs.

We cannot just remove the 'type' system out of these, and make conclusions.
> Hate (like love) is not an emotion, but an act of will.

Like cheering for a football team.

The memetic encoding of who our political friends and foes are is just like a football rivalry. It's self-reinforcing and thrives on conflict and escalation.

Here's a mental picture of two different people:

- blue haired, sex-positive, polyamorous, anti-capitalist trans activist

- wife beater-wearing hillbilly wearing a cross; "don't tread on me" bumper stickers; gun owner

If you formed an association with these two and painted one of them as "unpleasant", then the virus lives inside you.

It's going to take a lot of hard work (and money) to climb out of this pit. And because of the difficulty, it's unlikely to change anytime soon. (I don't know if we can do it.)
No they aren't. You've made a huge and nonsensical assertion here without any evidence at all, then said "don't believe the lies"!
On the flipside of this argument, it kind of sucks to submit an awesomely made article [0] which details significant research on the intricacies of DAW UI requirements and have almost no discussion on it because other posts may have been gamed and thus received attention instead of the more organically submitted content.

We should get rid of „hate speech“ and clamp down on violence inducing speech. With a massive caveat for people participating in ongoing war.

Fuck FB for banning people over using slurs or even legit historic terms towards muscovite soldiers.
That's an interesting insight.

Indeed, the proponents of what may be modern-day equivalents, seem also to have superstition or religious-like beliefs when it comes to these topics. Also can be as hard to reason with.
You should probably not stop with the discussion of Japan at that point. They have a central bank pushing hard against the trend. Further, you’re still arguing from a limited point of view as keeping all investments in Japan wouldn’t be diversified.
So you think you can choose rationally who you love (or hate)?

That’s because every model sucks for complicated tasks compared to GPT-4, and no one aside from OpenAI has a model more capable that GPT-3.5.
I suspect you may have been giving more than "biological facts" or bringing them up in a way that was intended to shut down someone else's expression.

Basic facts are very unlikely to be considered hateful if shared respectfully and with good reason.
I have no idea how this is relevant to my comment.
Very cool; condolences.
Ah, I used to love Byte and other computing magazines of that era.

Despite having access to vast information on any topic now, I still miss the sense of discovery I felt reading new issues.

HN is a site with a group of geeks who, as its user base, mostly think the same way. That's why this tactic works.
I wouldn't even say it rises to the level of "expressing skepticism" per se. It's just literal ad hominem. Ad hominem is a logical fallacy precisely because a good argument is a good argument regardless of who is presenting it, and likewise a bad argument is bad on its own merits.

There is more that could be said here, but, really, if you take this as your default approach to analysing things you read on the internet, you'll be headed in a good direction the vast majority of the time. It's not a completely black and white thing; for instance one certainly should hold out a healthy level of skepticism if, say, the message and the speaker seem to be completely incongruous, but mostly, let ideas stand on their own.
Is there a way to archive the whole twitter history? I think there was a limitation on a number of tweets you can export using their api.
There is a perfect and apt answer: keep playing the game (prototype) you are developing!

Not only does it test your game under sort of realistic conditions; it also gives you constant feedback on whether the game is fun, interesting, engaging — something that's infeasible to test by code.
That actually assumes quite a high income unless you’re just telling 40 somethings to live very austere.
Truth is biased. I am OK with someone taking a stand on what the truth is and the fact there are meta discussions on what the truth is is reassuring. If someone thinks Taiwan is a part of China, they are going to feel like an authoritative source of information describing Taiwan as a sovereign country is "harmful."

Fascist ideology doesn't want the idea of truth to exist and Wikipedia weighing in and saying "this is the best approximation of truth we got" is a small but powerful assault against fascist ideology.

The purpose of free speech is to protect speaking truth to power. If there is no conception of what truth is then how can one speak truth to power?

"Dubious donations" seems like the epitome of FUD.
It doesn't matter whether it really cuts it or not. Do you want to run some unknown, but potentially large risk just because you can't precisely define what it is? Good luck arguing against climate change.
It's very interesting, thank you.

The discussion of phoronix often goes towards flamewar. I hope the discussion here is more civil :)

I can understand they want to test their GPU drivers only against the main Wayland compositors. Xorg is quite another beast to support. For all I know, it might come into the context when most bugs have been ironed out in the GPU drivers.

I do hope people do not take it as general advice. Not all desktop environments have a Wayland compositor, some are quite buggy and many apps don't work yet with Wayland. I am using Xfce and for the next year at least I will be on Xorg. I do hope Wayland gets better, but it has been an undertaking of many years already. The rest of the process won't be much faster I suspect.

Ask HN: I am overflowing with ideas but never finish anything
I am constantly coming up with new ideas. I read about a new language, a new framework, a new API and immediately I feel compelled to build something with it. I start planning the project, thinking up a design, a name. I set up the new codebase and feel completely consumed by this new project, even to the detriment of my day job.

After a few days or weeks I completely forget about it, having not really made any progress on the project and not having released anything.

Looking through my github I've done this nearly 100 times. Each time I feel like I'm really gonna finish and release something. I intentionally plan to have extremely minimal features, cut corners because this is just a first attempt and yet still it fizzles out.

How did you go from a chronic project starter to actually finishing and releasing projects? What can you do to keep your focus on one thing long enough to bring it to fruition?
People definitely use the word “diversify” to include things like real estate or gold, not just stocks in different industries.
20000$ for making torrents from comics taken from LibGen? Are you serious?

Damn, you even worse than Z-Library. At least they did a real job and haven’t run away after taking money, like you after receiving donations and shutting down IPFS seeding because of your technical incapability to maintain IPFS hosting.
Then, should Kathy Griffin have been deplatformed when she showed a picture of her holding the severed head of a likeness of Trump? How is that not hate speech? Can I show a picture of a severed head of something looking like Nancy Pelosi?

When certain political groups say "we have to get in their faces" is that an incitement to violence or at least harassment?

Can I say, "in my opinion, politician X should be executed for crimes against America?" Is that incitement or just a protected statement of opinion?

When Hillary called 1/2 of Trump supporters "deplorables" isn't that hate speech? I heard plenty of people say that anti-vax people should be executed or at least left to starve to death (Chomsky said something like this). Is that hate or an opinion?

Hate speech is hopelessly vaguely defined and will be abused by whichever side is in power.
How is vim working for you for long term usage? Is it ok or did you move to something else?

I used vim as my main editor in the past 10 years and went through vimcasts near the beginning of my professional career. In January this year I switched to an IDE and I'm surprisingly ok with that. I did that because I moved to a different programming language and wanted better discoverability as well as an environment that "just works".

Curious to hear from others.
What's the point of selling languages like elixir as silver bullets like this? Each language has advantages and disadvantages over each other. I wouldn't want to work in the same place as someone who makes such stupid comments. programming perspective should not be so shallow.

At the end of the article there’s a list of complaints about X, and coincidentally it’s a list of things X users probably won’t care about.

your desktop tears

screen capture is dog slow

your media keys stop working one day

your speakers sound terrible and tinny or don't even work at all by default (once we ship that)

VSync is broken

your display looks duller and the colors muted

It’s kind of funny though how apparently Wayland is another hydra that tries to get involved with sound and other things it doesn’t really have business with.
They can be some employment and tax consequences related to employing overseas staff I think if you stay overseas for too long but it depends on the company, industry, your role and the two countries… from what I’ve read here possibly not relevant to you.

As you did your best to arrange a new date to return which is not that far from May I’d also be pissed if I was let go. I’d speak with a lawyer.

Good luck

I think you're using the strict technical definition of bitrot, but bitrot as used here is the more metaphorical "the OS/libraries/browser has removed some APIs and now the program won't work".
Yeah, that was a really interesting comment. I think it would be kinda cool if dang or someone expanded it into more of a blog post on how HN is moderated, or maybe even best practices for community moderation in general.
Japan is a bit tricky to analyze because they tend to have higher dividends than US stocks. And yes even though their total returns have been bad the point is you wouldn't lose all your savings. (Though you certainly would have been better putting your money elsewhere)

Yes. I don't care about whether he identifies as one. I look at his words and that is what I see.
A healthy man wants many things. A sick man only wants one thing.

I think insisting calling someone male, when they identify as female is indeed already considered hate speech by some people. I think even by some organisations. (but since I try to stay away from such issues, I don't have a example at hand)

I would consider this "rude", but not hate speech.
Every nontechnical article is full of selective quotes, from borderline random people, which have no place in an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia has facts. That's not what Wikipedia even tries to do. If it wasn't auch a great source for the sciences I would be ok with it going away.
Another way to look at it is how much money can you set aside for any situation. Be it SV but living in a tiny apartment or elsewhere, make sure to save money no matter what so you can always have the freedom to move out of a bad situation
What are you talking about? It’s not about the username, it’s about the whole history of tweets, including conversations. I assume it’s quite easy to see why removing the conversation history of a deceased person might be considered bad by those who knew them.
If this is a problem for you, you can literally write one test which will round-trip your fixtures through a load and validate loop.
> I noticed these guys coming in the front page very often too....

Is less than once a month "very often?" Or do you mean "very often relative to how frequently one would expect a company that makes an alternative to Google Analytics" would make the front page?

I did think it was hilarious that they posted an article showing how to get to the front page of HN in such a way that you can sneak in a quick mention of your product without tripping the community's anti-self promotion bias, while literally did the exact thing they were suggesting doing.
But if our brains came up with the black box, can that really be true?
Still does not make it less centralized though. If the majority of people is on that one instance of terrible forum, and you get banned, you are still going to have a hard time participating. And just like with other social media, you could of course host your own thing. But with that come content moderation obligations, if open to the public. A lot of work to create a parallel service.
Can you dual-stack Wayland and X?
I am really impressed with how you take the generally accepted wisdom of, "the government is less efficient that private industry" and then add if this organisation is so robotically efficient then the logic against governments doesn't apply.

It's an interesting piece in the puzzle of how to make society work when AGI and robots take our jerbs.
XWayland is just an X server on top of Wayland. You could use it to run your whole desktop, but it's not the best use for it. It's really just great at running legacy applications without a Wayland version (especially old games and such).
If the stock market goes to _zero_, your money won’t be a problem worth thinking about. This would probably mean anarchy and other pressing issues to deal with
It is difficult to avoid flamewars when the original post itself contains flaimbait like:

Yes, not every random app and feature you use on Xorg will have a Wayland equivalent. Deal with it. The major players in desktop Linux have decided it's time to move on from Xorg, and if you want to go against the tide you're on your own.

Not to mention that talking about 'the major players in desktop Linux' is completely against what the OS ethos was supposed to be about; he said the quiet part out loud, and people strike back; it is only fair.
Life pro tip: be a company and you can get away with anything.
I actually managed to get off the treadmill during the Pandemic. During the slowdown of the initial forced WFH I found out that I don't actually need anything else.

Yes, a bigger house with a bigger yard, a better car etc. would be nice.

...but I have everything I need that costs under 10k€. There are a few bits I could upgrade, but I'd have to pay a 50-100% premium for under 10% quality improvement, so not really worth it in my book.
At least for me, xorg can't be replaced in several years.
I don't want to be too harsh, but this answer is incomprehensible.
Books like Neuromancer or Snow Crash have no aliens, but describe worlds that are weirder than in many books with aliens!

I always read "scientific fiction" not as "scientifically correct fiction" but rather "fictional but plausibly-looking science". I think this goes all the way to G.H.Wells who described things like gravity-insulating material, and logical consequences thereof.
I would love to see a source showing Noam Chomsky advocating that antivaxers should be executed or "left to starve".
Great quote. Tolstoi - Death Of Ivan Ilyich. (Modeled after a successful lawyer, I hear.)
There are valid criticisms to be made of wikipedia's spending (like any large org), but i always thought this article is stupid.

Yes, wikipedia's hosting costs increased over time from when it was a tiny site that was down constantly and super slow, to a top website with multiple data centers and high reliability.

It would be a red flag if that didn't happen.
"Hate", like many other words similarly abused, has steadily lost meaning due to deliberate overuse and overambiguity.

"Hate speech" doesn't factually exist anyway, all the sincerely objectional speech it claims to pertain to are already described since long before "hate speech" came into the lexicon:

You speak lies and/or falsehoods about someone? That's libel[1] and/or slander[2] and you can be sued for it.

You provoke someone into violence? Them's fightin' words and are not protected under the 1st Amendment.[3]

You change your behaviour towards someone based on their race, nationality, sex, or creed? That is discrimination and illegal regardless the context or undertones.[4]

What Wikipedia did is close to a miracle.

Others used web technology to create vast noise chambers of nothingness, deceit and paranoia.

Wikipedia shows that having a bit of faith in moral principles and affinity for the good side of humanity can readily turn technology into a force for good.

This puts to shame and exposes the shallowness and enormous wastefulness of most all other tech efforts out there.

Ofcourse with such dramatic success there are emergent challenges. Developing ground truth on divisive issues that tear humanity apart is highly non-trivial.

But the miracle stands and is asking from all of us to turn faith into science, find ways to replicate the essence of Wikipedia across all domains.
I am in my thirties and had this exact realization recently.

It’s so true. There were things I imagined myself becoming or doing when I was younger. I never got to them but also had nagging feelings about them every once in awhile.

Once I let go, it was liberating. I now pick a few things I go deep into and other things will just have to wait or may never happen, and I am okay with that.
Just leave thoose platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc...). Really... If no users, no ads, no money then the platform disappear... And voilà! If a trusted and trustfull post from Adafruit is not allowed to be public, imagine what can be "censored" too.
You seem to be addressing a related but separate matter, namely boycotting products to influence companies. The topic in hand is companies pretending to be large numbers of anonymous people. This is what would be prevented if submissions to public consultations were tied to real-world identities.
Even aliens that formally resemble Earth animals, like those in Blindsight, can be made utterly, unhumanly, unearthly alien, if the author has deep ideas about what a radically different life form could be.
Although driving a LHD car is legal in the UK, insurance is likely to be slightly more expensive, overtaking is more difficult and dangerous, and any machine (car park barrier, toll booth, drive through) will be awkward to use.

I would be perfectly fine with prosecuting every single employee as well. The level of “I didn’t see the contents of documents I printed” is far too high everywhere, and if employees were unwilling to carry illegal activity, it would be much harder to perform this level of crime.

It’s exactly similar to everyone who participated in a pyramid scheme is liable for the last round of victims. Up to you to get informed.
Is there a similarly simple scheme that works even if you decouple the snapshot phase from the GC phase.

Use case: I already have a list of equally spaced snapshots that I'd like to logarithmically space.

Also, it occurs to me that this (and other grandfather snapshot schemes) ultimately derive from the generational hypothesis: users want files for either a short time (transient files, tarballs, PDFs, checkouts) or a long time (photos).
I wasn't a fan of those grants but it was a one time thing they did that was a relatively small portion of their budget.
Language models are going to make this problem way, way worse
IdeaVim plugin is awesome in Jetbrains IDEs. You just get the best of both worlds.

Same vim simulation plugins (albeit far less powerful) exist in most common IDEs.
You should find another word, then. Because "hate" is still an emotion in my dictionary.
