I never claimed to be hurt. I do not feel hurt when someone else is helped.

I still don't think that absolves people of the responsibility they put upon themselves. You're totally ignoring that part of the argument, and it's really my only argument.

And clearly we need to pick and choose where to spend our money; we can't aid every cause. That doesn't make everyone a hypocrite. I don't think you've even made a case that I am one; your alternative idea of "federal assistance to the state of Florida" doesn't really compare well to "helping individuals repay loans they directly benefit from"; it's not at all the same class of spending.

Anyway no, people who are against this very specific form of federal aid are not hypocrites if they support some other very specific form of federal aid. That is not a logical conclusion.
Can't do that!! Must Have Growth ... Must Have Growth.
Why shouldn't they? This is basic fair use. Google is giving them an out they don't have to.
What I don't understand is that the whole industry seems to be based on...lying?

If I trick the user into clicking on something that looks organic but it's not, I will be paid money.

Showing an ad full screen on youtube, forced, won't guarantee that is has any effect on the viewer, but the advertiser has to pay and on top of that, the user experience is ruined.

So based on lies, we ruin experience.

Isn't there a way to get incentives aligned?

The only ads that seem to work on me are Steam, because I open the platform on purpose to find new games. The other is costco giving free food. I'm hungry, I grab something from them and if it's tasty, I'll buy a bag to test if it's something we would like to buy on a recurring basis.

Everything else seems to just be annoyances
I can't see another ruling that doesn't lead to compelled speech.
You’re being obtuse.

You were able to access those news for free. Without any account. Once you had a radio or a tv, it was free and accessible for everyone.

Not the same for Facebook or Twitter. Even if technically free, you can be banned, or have your account deactivated because you didn’t give away your phone number as “security measure”.
Vitest may not be a good drop in replacement either. It uses Workers for multi-threading via Tinypool. For us, we use the AWS SDK and the binaries in it would cause Vitest to crash. After wasting a lot of time, we had to retreat back to Jest.

I really like Vitest, and it's a great fit for lots of projects. I'm a bit sad it wasn't for ours.
Your answer is contrived there is no reason other than deliberately fucking with the baker to ask him to bake that and furthermore any bakery could trivially forbid offensive orders without relying particularly on his religious freedoms.

What if we just had sites and RSS-like aggregators? You could subscribe directly to the sources you like. You could then publish the aggregation. In turn you could subscribe to an aggregator, and perhaps even reaggregate their content, too. In this way we can have a distributed method of "following" content that we like.

Basically this vision is one where everyone run's Google Reader in their browser and, if you're really gung-ho, you republish via some VPS hosted thing. The structure is a little like DNS - a hierarchical database.
Apollo was much better for actually interacting with Reddit: voting, commenting, digging into posted content.

The Reddit app is designed to keep you scrolling down your feed past advertisements.

Apollo and its compatriots were used by actual users; they may not have made up a huge percentage, but they made it what it is.
this conflates sex trade and sex trafficking, a common thing to do but the trend actually is to listen to people that don't conflate that, so that they can treat the trafficking issue as the labor rights issue that it is. everyone wants harm reduction. criminalized prostitution under the veil of stopping trafficking does not do that. the opposite on the other hand allows labor organizations to continue to help workers with increased avenues for help.
> If you take Albert Einstein and put him in University of Michigan or Harvard, he's still going to be Albert Einstein, and some rich kid from Hingham is still going to be just another rich kid from Hingham - not Albert Einstein

That’s ridiculous. Surely it depends on when and where you send Albert Eisenstein. it doesn’t matter how smart you are if the facilities around are up to the task to fulfill it.

> Geniuses are going to be geniuses. And no matter how much resources you pour on some mediocre person, they're still going to be mediocre.

Genius are only as much geniuses as the information they can retain, understand , and synthesize. It doesn’t really matter how much of a genius a 12 year old could be if you never teach him or give him the means to learn what an atom is.

are we seriously going to act as if certain institutions don’t allow better flourishment than others ? I’m not saying Harvard is the holy grail here but come on.

Civil rights violations are different. For article III standing in other types of lawsuits, you do need to prove harm. But civil rights violations sort of loom over you all the time, so even if you aren't trying to express the impugned right, it's still harming you is the logic (if my memory serves me right).
Because it was basically necessary to break the back of Jim Crow.

Jim Crow laws weren't just a set of laws put in place in southern states. They were an entire culture that said if you had the wrong color skin, you didn't deserve service. You didn't have to be treated as a fellow citizen. Your money wasn't as green as the next person's. And, indeed, via the Civil Rights Act we had to tie the right to operate as a legally-protected business entity to the obligation to serve all members of the community regardless of having qualities we recognized as unchangeable and ultimately harmless to society. We did it because it was the only way we could start to drive a wedge into American racism and separate the present from the past's grip on it.

And it has been working, we have watched each generation get progressively less racist. But racism will not go without a fight, and we are watching an atrocious but effective stand in trying to leverage the law of the land to support the prejudices of old.

We want the government to compel people to serve other Americans because they are other Americans. They deserve to be treated as fellow citizens.

Well it's only going to worse. Indians and some Middle Eastern communities are infamous globally for such nepotistic practices.

Not to mention, within the Indian community, there is caste-based and religion-based discrimination too. I'm sure the HN community is no stranger to that news.
Not at all. Between this and the court throwing out affirmative action in higher education, we’re finally getting past this crap. Next step is going to be eliminating affirmative action in private sector hiring practices.

In all these situations it’s helpful to imagine flipping around the characters to see the sheer nonsense of the complaints.

> Being forced into service to anyone should be repugnant to a free society

Nobody is forced to be a business owner. When the state licenses a business, that licensure implies all manner of obligations, from compliance with the civil rights act and associated acts to EPA protections to health code compliance.

Your freedoms are curtailed by being banned from storing rat poison above food preparation stations... Why is the obligation to serve a gay person who sits down at your restaurant table any different?

I mostly use carbon steel. But putting on my cooking nerd hat, there's one situation where I pull out cast iron, because it's annoyingly heavy:

It has more thermal momentum, thus when I am pulling stuff out of my sous vide cooker, it's better at quickly adding char (because the temperature drops less than in carbon steel or anything else).

(The only other reason I use cast iron is for the cases where the pan size is just more practical than my carbon steel pans.)

I will admit that I'm conflicted by this since there's also a distinctive way that my 3.5 kW induction wok cooker chars stuff in a very limited amount of time, but that involves me removing the smoke detectors from my kitchen and the two rooms adjacent.

What a strange thing to get hung up over. If you were opposed to abortion, you might like to know ahead of time whether the person you're dating might end up aborting your child. Being able to know whether you are breaking the law prior to breaking it is a good thing, and we should be able to bring such cases in more situations.
that's probably true if you search for "how to build a [insert bad thing here]" or "blueprints of [some critical infrastructure].

If anything, I would imagine counter-parties (like Russia, Iran) will tag you for reading CIA propaganda.
I love culling things and losing things which have aggregated over the years. I have tried NAS'es, Disks and realize never ever come back to them.

Media -
An auto-backup of photos, videos & music is what I like. Use google drive for cloud backup. Have a premium account to accommodate for all the space needed

Notes & Documents & Writings -
Public ones - Already part of the internet space.
The rest are really things which I can afford to lose. They are like a closet which I don't really mind cleaning out once in a bit and losing it.

Work -
Tax filings & income documents are in a digital private locker. The rest of it like work related repositories, code and other stuff. Either open sourced or in private git repos.

Movies & Books -
I used to collect things like movies, books and then realized that could just rent and buy them over so no more into hoarding the stuff here.

Best advice, I can give after trying multiple organizational systems is constant pruning and sharing out what you can in public domain.

That's the difference between GNU/Linux and Android.

Android uses Java because there's an existing market of Java developers. Java does not have much inherent overhead but like any tool with a lower barrier to entry a lot of lower quality software hits the market. Optimizing for time to market by each company's app team is where the wheels come off the bus. People expect software to be free or $0.99. Companies are pushing the technical limits on how much data can be mined bloating their apps. Android is fragmented across diverse hardware, operating system versions, and cellular carrier permutations making testing and QA a much harder problem.

The article seems to indicate that the goal is to stop double and triple penalizing sellers in the industry. The idea being that those on the selling side are often victims (of trafficking, abuse, no other choice, etc.).. and after they get caught, they become 'part of the system' and can't escape because no one will hire a criminal, or rent an apartment to a criminal, etc.

Very similar to decriminalizing possession of drugs, or buying of drugs, but not the selling of drugs... Buyers are frequently victims of addiction, and ruining their life with criminal charges doesn't help them break the cycle

The bill is not about trying to adjust the market, or to allow/accept prostitution, but to help victims of the trade.

> r/programming back when that was one of the top subreddits.

It was also a default one, IIRC, and when I joined had far more activity than /r/funny. Pretty sure a lot of people were very upset when it stopped being a default.

I was teaching myself to code when I first encountered Reddit, and I followed the language hype on proggit as if it were gospel - I learned Common Lisp because proggit was giddy that Reddit was written in it at the time, and I subsequently learned about macros, and functional programming, and that Erik Naggum wants you to get off his damn lawn and stop asking dumb questions in comp.lang.lisp, then it was the Ruby hype, then Erlang, then Haskell etc.

All very interesting stuff to delve into, but yeah, I thought I'd never get a job programming if I was struggling with Haskell's type system, look at all the regular workaday coders on Reddit who're loving it! (I know, I know.)

That said, I really benefited from the Erlang hype period, the ideas in Erlang/OTP were very interesting indeed, even if I didn't quite understand what a finite state machine was, and what it was useful for, when trying to grok gen_fsm. But the actor model, the deliberate choice to treat failure as normal and build accordingly, that stuck with me all these years. Hell, I even ended up printing off Joe Armstrong's thesis to read on the bus to work.

Reddit was a great replacement for forums, especially for technical topics, IMO. But their "reopen the sub or else landed gentry" approach directly hurts tech communities, because the mods of a technical sub are often domain experts in the technology it's focused on, and a lot will disengage and move on.

At least, I know two of my fellow mods in a small technical sub have disengaged dramatically because of Reddit's approach, and they will be a massive loss to the sub.

But then, small tech subreddits aren't exactly a massive money-making market niche, so yeah. It is sad though.

Right unless they wrote the RTL and fabbed themselves, verified the netlist and compared to the golden master and shipped it securely, all the rest of the efforts likely don’t provide much more than a false sense of security. In fact you’re much likely better off using a reflashed Pixel 5a.

> Do you have trouble reading? Clearly the agreement was completely non-binding and informal. This was stated from the start, multiple times.

So it was non existent then some in-person informal not written down agreement that is non binding means literally nothing.

Even more so when the country this totally real "informal non-binding" agreement is with collapses and ceases to exist.
I always wondered where the talent and technical expertise inside China for manning and refining the GFW comes from and how many people it feeds - it seems at this point like family planning, an agency so big it exists simply to perpetuate and provide livelihood to a host of people.

The solution to Ads is to create an alternative. We call this an Offer and it differs in the following ways:

User Choice
Ads: no (platform decides)
Offers: yes (user decides = opt-in)

Privacy
Ads: no privacy (your data belongs to them)
Offers: total privacy (no info collected)

Rewards
Ads: no reward (platform keeps all value)
Offers: cash rewards (paid by seller)

Participants
Ads: seller -> ad platform -> buyer
Offers: seller < - > buyer

Disclosure: founder of sellff.com. We created Offers to facilitate a more effective and honest way for buyers to connect with sellers.
