> I think it's pretty disingenuous to suggest that I "tarred all opposition as criminals". Still I admit my wording could have been better, please see follow-up

It is not disingenuous, it is a plain reading of the words written and it seems I am not the only one who read it in the same way. Thank you for clarifying your thoughts further; that seems like a prudent course of action.

However, labeling a comment as “disingenuous” is somewhat concerning to me. That particular label is typically used when one is trying to suggest that the labeled comment is somehow deceptive. From Merriam Webster’s “Did You Know?” section:

> A disingenuous remark might contain some superficial truth, but it is delivered with the intent to deceive or to serve some hidden purpose.

If that is indeed how you intended to use “disingenuous,” I would note that it serves to undercut any utility your clarification might have served.

I’m concerned you’re very primed to view everything around this as highly suspicious and that those involved have ulterior motives. Speaking as one internet nerd to another: take a break, go for a walk, clear your mind.

> Have you ever managed a large team of people? If so, do you think a good manager would really tell people that part of their job is to accept threats of physical abuse?

Frankly, I don’t see how that matters at all. If you want to make an appeal to authority like that, go ahead - but it’s fairly transparent and I’m not otherwise inclined to engage with it except to say: your team is proposing to dramatically change the internet, which is a concern that extends far beyond your team and your place of employment. Making this all about your team reads as a way to shut down feedback you don’t like under the guise of “abuse.” Your intentions are almost besides the point: as your clarification notes, your employer has burned up just about all trust with the community at this point.

If you have a legitimate concern about threats of physical abuse, I would suggest that there are perhaps other avenues to deal with it other than “ignore all feedback from GitHub.” For starters, I’m fairly certain that’s against their terms of service and code of conduct.
It's pretty clearly both, being an article posted on a news blog.
Care to expound on that? Journalists are typically the ones bringing any sort of credibility to topics. Without journalists, it's just randos and bots shit-posting their hot takes.

I love trains but the discussions on HN have a quality of a cargo cult, anyone who even slightly slides off tracks is punished. It exhibits similar characteristics found in climate change movement or other progressive agenda. No room for nuanced discussion, only extreme conformism.

It actually has a reverse effect on me. Why is this thing pushed through without debate? It might gather more support if you allow criticism.
In your opinion.
Some of us believe the exact opposite.
It's useful because the rail doesn't go to your exact destination. You will need to drive there. It is expensive to have a separate car in both cities instead of just taking a single car with you.
This is fantastic, and a great back story about how lucky we are to have had these saved from the trash at the last second.

I don't quite see how Rust approach to multithreading is that amazing.

Rust does nothing to magically prevent race conditions for you. Rust safety does not encompass race conditions, starvation, etc.

What it does is defensively prevent you from sharing mutable variables without explicitly opting for it.

It's good for catching careless sharing issues, but not much more.
I guess they are essentially what is known as "copyright orphans" - that is, no-one knows who the fuck owns the copyright anymore. Caveat emptor.
Your own link underscores exactly how easily this sort of behavior can be outlawed; as recently as 1989 a flagrantly unconstitutional bill was passed banning flag burning and as recently as 2006 the house supported a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning. And that's without covering the various states that have passed laws banning flag burning, or the nearly 60 year period during which supreme court precedent allowed for laws against flag burning.
Not all criminals are inmates either. Many of them run your country, sign your paychecks, or decide who is a "criminal" or not.
Is there a point at which the mods' work can be done by a large language model?

Not because it's any cheaper or anything, just because after many years of doing this eventually it must start to feel stale and there's a burnout risk. Imagine if you leave almost all the work to automation and check in much less frequently. So much time for any other activities.
A bike is too slow. It would mean just driving to the destination without a rail would be faster.
You probably don’t realize this, but you’re just perpetuating misinformation that’s been debunked repeatedly for decades.
How does Gopher solve that?
It's good if there's a benefit for everyone, like python 3 fixing the terrible Unicode story. It's not clear non-GIL will even be a net performance improvement for most people--you are effectively moving syncronization from the core runtime to each and every library and program at the edge. Writing safe code at that level doesn't come for free, your basic program will be slower (and likely buggier) if every call into a library is now doing its own little bespoke GIL instead of relying on python's global one like now.
If you want brown rice in bulk for cheap, have you considered immigrant stores? I ask because I used to go to Makro (the Central European membership-based wholesale chain) for rice, but then I learned that shops serving Indian Subcontinent and Vietnamese diasporas offered rice and other nice things in bulk for prices comparable to that mainstream wholesaler.
The Truth About Diving with Sharks
From the article:

And Whittington says the designers must also ensure the rail remains dedicated to its high-speed route and that people have the ability to get to the rail through other means of public transportation. “There are going to be a lot of communities you want to serve,” Whittington said, “but you want to find a way to bring those communities to the routes as opposed to bringing the route to the communities.”

KIRKLAND is Costco's brand, it's a white label of a consistent reliable product. Your favorite brown rice brand could've ended up appearing as a kirkland product.

I'm surprised at the shortage of brown rice though, last time I went into Costco I was amazed at the sheer number of gluten free, keto friendly, organic friendly etc products.
Developed countries aren’t going to fund the transition in poor countries. And if we don’t include them a tariff like system, they will have no incentive to decarbonise.

I’d love renewables to be cheapest, but if you include storage and demolition of old panels/wind turbines then this isn’t the case. There’s a reason coal/gas plants are still being built. If it was actually cheaper to go renewable, it would be the only power source we see.

I’m so unable to relate to perspectives like this on social media. I have Insta and my connections on there are almost entirely my real friends, we all post stuff we’re actually doing in our lives, and send messages to each other, etc… as in, we actually use it for socialising. I follow a small handful of celebrity accounts, and browse reels occasionally, but the main reason I like using it is to interact with my friends.

Well - I'm not blaming the user, but that's how it's on any federated service. People don't seem to have the same complaints about email or matrix. While it's possible to create a global index of all Mastodon users, I personally feel that it is best enjoyed without it.

I have a very satisfying personal feed on Mastodon. There are personal acquaintances whose address I received directly from them - like how email addresses are exchanged traditionally. Some addresses were collected from webpages I'm interested in. All the rest are people whose comments were boosted by others and caught my eye.

All the above, together with whatever algorithm Mastodon uses seem to give me a much more interesting and less addictive experience than the traditional social media. Mastodon doesn't hand hold you in creating a feed. It does need a bit of effort. However, the result is high quality.
Legally, Amtrak is supposed to have priority, and freight trains are required to pull off. But freight trains usually get priority because that's what the railway wants, and Amtrak doesn't have the political muscle to do much. But it's illegal.

Its fun that americans only notice these things when its imposed on the US. Travelling to the US as a foreign citizen has always been harder than the reverse. In fact I would say travel being unrestricted has really been a very short term anomoly, and then only for a very small part of the worlds population.

The small towns and farmsteads of history look a lot more like suburbs than modern high-rises. Even in large cities, every house would have significant garden to meet everyday needs.

A very small percentage of the population lived in "urban" cities, with houses back-to-back. Rome was an anomaly in that regard, made possible by significant farmsteads held by the nobility outside the city and grain bribes paid out by them.
China high speed rail costs about US$ 17-21m per km in China, which has a substantial low cost for labor. This much can't make much

What my link is meant to show is that even if such a law is introduced, chances are it'll be overturned. Since the initial decision, the court has only expanded speech in terms of burning or other physical destruction.

Plus, at least in the US, people are a lot more easy to rile up over American Flags that Qurans. It'd be a lot harder for any bill to pass about protecting Muslim holy books than the flag. I'm not saying that as a good thing, just as a point of fact.

From the same person, further down in the thread:

> It's been pointed out to me that my wording could be taken to suggest that I think folks who oppose WEI are criminals. That was absolutely not my intent and I apologize for not being more careful in my wording. I'm also the kind of person who likes to run rooted devices (used to compile my own NetBSD kernel from scratch weekly), custom browser builds, etc. and so I sympathize heavily with that use case myself and don't see how I could support a proposal which seriously risked the outcome you describe - users of such devices / niche browsers being locked out of important parts ot the web. AFAIK there is no serious debate as to whether such an outcome would be acceptable for the web (it's not), the debate is whether this proposal could possibly achieve it's aims without causing such an outcome. There's been lots of strong words saying it's impossible to reduce fraud risk without threatening the openness of the web and perhaps that's right, but I, for one, am always willing to be shown that something I thought was impossible was in fact doable with sufficient ingenuity and care. If I've learned anything from my tiny forays into the W3C anti-fraud community group it's that there's a lot of complexity and expertise in this space of which I know almost nothing, so I'm open to new ideas. I'm thrilled to see anti-fraud experts actually collaborating openly and publicly for, perhaps, the first time in Internet history.
Not that the particular example even matters, but bison have absolutely attacked both children and adults and have killed a handful of people. I won't post the videos, but you can find the bison attacking even children on YouTube. In one instance, the child seemed fine, but the horn moving an inch to the left or right could have gored the kid.

The point is that you are at their mercy and that it takes training and education to understand and predict that danger ahead of time. Even adults are ignorant along these lines. Everything is a spectrum, but there is a threshold, in my opinion, in which the probabilities of disaster become 100% out of your control for certain activities.

For example, you can watch this guy on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV1fzwfJpmQ who appears to be calm and an "expert" on interacting with bears. However, you can also watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqwYUkJYRQc in which a grizzly shows absolutely insane stamina and strength, covering huge distances of rough terrain and water. It means that the guy in the previous video is 100% at complete mercy of the bear, no matter what he says. (As an aside, I'm actually surprised that guy hasn't had more trouble, as he clearly seeks out bear encounters.)

I think my larger point is that part of the education of both children and adults is teaching to understand and ultimately respect the reality in which we live in. Animals, physics, biology, etc. all exist and we must live within those rules and understand the consequences of pushing them. I can't go jump into the sun just to try it out. And a project manager stating a schedule as if it dictates reality doesn't mean it does. Lol. This scene from The Counselor is getting at these lines of thought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIn7y4ejIFM.
I just see a beat down not wild times. Meta is trying to clone twitter and the only win they have is the signup process and people seeing what the fuss is about.
albums weren't sold in blank sleeves. Lot's of stuff around the album was there to make it more exiting. Album design, liner notes, and even record stores are all part of a past "exciting" music listening experience, that author argues Spotify do not want to bring to their users.
I have several friends that commute from Portland to seattle via bus or Vancouver to seattle via car or occasionally seaplane taxi. I’m sure they would really appreciate a high speed rail infrastructure particularly if it exits at a transportation hub as they propose.
In the case of blink-dev, yeah moderators like me. But AFAIK we didn't block any replies there at all because nobody in that forum was making threats or anything like that. I also haven't seen much of anything on these HN threads which I'd say violates the code of conduct we use on the chromium forums.
That depends a lot on how the cities on either end are designed, in particular how easy it is to get around without a car in each. Also, car rentals exist.
I think that's a bit different. 32 to 64 - you could test whether it works. Same for arm. Same for y2k. Sure, maybe the testing wouldn't cover the failing case, but the testing you did would be deterministic. But here? Test all you want and the answer is: it's either correct or you haven't triggered the right race yet.
I’m not gonna argue that point; but it seems massively disingenuous to down vote someone who complains “but now I have to rewrite my library because some people might use it in non-GIL mode”.

That’s not whining; it’s just an observation that the committee making these decisions gives zero ducks about the impact this will have for anyone other than the handful of vested parties involved in making the decisions.

Pypi has what, 500k projects on it? Many abandoned.

Whom exactly is going to update those?

Or do packages get an automatic “doesn’t work with no-GIL” unless the author explicitly opts to enable it?

Or do we live in a future where any package, with any dependency may or may not have undefined behaviour in no-GIL mode?

Like, sure… it’s a good change for many people… once all the hard work is done by the community.

Does that remind you of anything?

Mmm.

Ya know… how crazy would it be to set up a charity-ish thing for buying kids replacement screens for phones?

Just the part and tools, mind you. Not labor. They do the labor themselves. It’s really not that hard. (Even in the so-called unrepairable phones! I did an iPhone 12 battery last year. iFixit has those guides down to a science).

Might work miracles at showing teens they can fix problems (even those that even their parents are scared of!), that repairing stuff isn’t that scary, and that $40ish can go quite a long way.
The low-key judgement you get from people and especially other parents for not putting your children into day orphanage as soon as they're born is absolutely bizarre! People act like like your kids are going to grow up antisocial psychopaths because they're not surrounded by 15 other sad abandoned kids every day.

> What my link is meant to show is that even if such a law is introduced, chances are it'll be overturned.

And my point is that that is a quite recent phenomenon in historical terms and should not be viewed as anything resembling a permanent or even long-term norm. If you burned an American flag in the wrong part of America 60 years ago you would most likely have faced legal repercussions (unless you had the resources and the "perfect case" to take to the supreme court).

Edit: I feel like I should clarify here that I 100% agree that flag burning should be legal, I merely want to point out that we should not take that for granted.
> you’re like the person at the all-you-can-eat buffet who goes back for a third helping. They make the most money from indifferent, lukewarm fans

I don't think this is correct. Spotify doesn't pay a fixed rate per stream. Instead, they reserve some part of revenue for artist compensation, and then divide that based on the amount of streams and artist- or label-specific deals.

Straight from the horse's mouth: https://support.spotify.com/us/artists/article/royalties/

> We distribute the net revenue from Premium subscription fees and ads to rightsholders. To calculate net revenue, we subtract the money we collect but don’t get to keep. This includes payments for things like taxes, credit card processing fees, and billing, along with some other things like sales commissions. From there, the rightsholder’s share of net revenue is determined by streamshare.

> We calculate streamshare by tallying the total number of streams in a given month and determining what proportion of those streams were people listening to music owned or controlled by a particular rightsholder.

> Contrary to what you might have heard, Spotify does not pay artist royalties according to a per-play or per-stream rate; the royalty payments that artists receive might vary according to differences in how their music is streamed or the agreements they have with labels or distributors.

Though I guess that means that lukewarm users with few streams cause higher per-stream rates, which might be indirectly beneficial to Spotify.

That's not to say that the system is completely fair. Presumably, bigger artists and labels get preferential treatment in share calculations. Also, if I listen to only Ben Prunty's FTL soundtrack for a month, he doesn't get all the net revenue from my subscription; those streams are diluted in the global stream counts.
That's no longer seem to be the case in the US, especially as out of wedlock births decreased and poor people are less likely to get married
