The possibility of discrimination exists in all cases where any human entity, whether individual or group, judges another human entity. This is widely accepted in human societies as a necessary risk of being able to judge others as fit or unfit for participation, and Lichess is exercising their right to do so, just as all other human entities may choose to do. Until a pattern of bias is demonstrated, such judgments are neither implicitly discriminatory, nor are they implicitly a slippery slope to discrimination.

You absolutely hit an achievement. Congratulations!
No, no need to rent. The solution is pretty trivial, and even battle-tested because the problem has already been solved for mortgages (lenders really care whether a piece of property is your primary residence) and for income tax (your primary residence really matters).

Simply require people to attest that they are purchasing the property as their primary residence, with significant penalties for fraud. You can make enforcement and public accountability even easier by ublishing both owner info and a boolean "is_primary_residence" flag in every county's plat maps/parcel database.

I suggest lawmakers could additionally add an x-month grace period, for x =~ 3*<average time on market for like properties in the past 12 months>, which allows people to have a generous period of overlapping ownership while they are moving. Perhaps even allow an auto-appeal process that adds x more time if you can show that you listed the property for sale at around the assessed value and had no offers within say 10% of your asking price.

Org-timeblock: Interactive day-view orgmode calendar inside Emacs
Hi! I wrote an Emacs package that provides interactive (you can even use your mouse) day view for orgmode
tasks. With this package you can visually understand your day schedule
and quickly reschedule your tasks and events. Essentially, this is what
modern calendars provide but for orgmode, although my package currently only provides day view.

The package works entirely inside Emacs.

Large organizations are in a middle ground between "You are forced to participate" nation-state groups and "Leave at any time with little impact" groups like a small club or friend group. Different levels of proof are appropriate at these various levels. For a nation-state, you need to be damn sure before levying a punishment, because the impact of punishment is much greater. The trade off is a much more rigorous investigation of potential wrong-doing, and a certain level of acceptable false negatives. It's better for a nation-state to let a couple people get away with crimes versus falsely convicting someone. In a small, informal group, the greatest punishment they can issue is a relatively low-impact exile, so levels of proof can be extremely low: a vaguely plausible rumor will probably get someone kicked out.

Big organizations like universities, chess leagues, and workplaces are in a middle ground. Exile from such a group is a much bigger deal, as it can threaten someone's livelihood, future, or incur other fairly large opportunity costs. However, they can't throw someone in prison, so compared to the nation state they need less confidence to levy their punishments, and thus are expected to be less accepting of members getting away with inappropriate behavior.

All of this comes to head with the issue of sexual harassment and assault. It's a very hard category of crime to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt", because often the only witnesses are the victim/accuser and the perpetrator/accused. If an organization takes a stance of only kicking someone out when they are convicted in a court of law, they are stating that they are willing to accept some level of misconduct, which is greater than most would like.
It's deeply haunting to think of a future where new/inexperienced developers not only think this is normal, but a good idea.

This is a guaranteed path to making it so that shipping code or building a business is dependent on one of a few mega corps (who will happily shut you down, rip off your ideas, etc, at a moments notice).

> I don't know how good definition can exclude reusable rockets from being new

Because you're hung up on trying to tell me that the concept of reusable rockets is new in a grand history since while I'm trying to convey to you that the original Falcon 9 reusable rockets development ended over a decade ago.

You're the one struggling with that concept and the semantics around it, because you yet again prove my point while trying to argue it.

I'm glad you agree with the core point of my idea. Weird that you're so combative about it.

How about if you do searches about history? In Russia, it is explicitly a crime to portray the "Great patriotic War" as anything but noble, wonderful, and a huge russian success story. Multiple game developers have active warrants for arrest in russia because they put a russian tank in their game that isn't OP, or have a campaign that accurately demonstrates an unsavory thing the soviets did in the 40s.
Off the top of my head: value is tied to appraisal which happens during a sale. Land values wouldn't change to reflect local demand and this could depress tax revenue. You'd probably be able to get away with some foolishness regarding the building condition.

The first microgrid they discuss was built by a local not-for-profit electric cooperative. It's a nice example of how there can be benefits to the grid as well as the consumers served by the microgrid. There are not a lot of details out there on the grid benefits, but I suspect a decent one would be moving load off of peak demand times.
No, it's not. It's one possible parsing of the words "social" and "justice" when combined together, but "social justice" has been used in its current form since at least John Stuart Mill in 1861:

> Society should treat all equally well who have deserved equally well of it, that is, who have deserved equally well absolutely. This is the highest abstract standard of social and distributive justice; towards which all institutions, and the efforts of all virtuous citizens, should be made in the utmost degree to converge.
Braille tablets/multiline braille displays are finally coming. The traditional piezo-electric cells are not well suited for them, due to the space the cell + driver+ electronics need. Putting the four rows of pins in a cell does already require staggering the elements. If you disassemble a cell, you'll see that every row has another pin length the bottom row usually has the longest and the top row the shortest pins. So this is not very scalable for multiple lines of dots.

There are two commercially produced techniques for multiline braille displays now: the first comes from Dot (a Korean company) who makes the Dotpad, this technique is also used in the Humanware/APH Monarch which will be an Android based standalone braille tablet. The other technique is created by Orbit Braille and they have their Graphity braille tablet. I couldn't find any good technical documentation that describe how these methods work exactly, so if anyone has any pointers I would like to read more about it.
"Some accusations have at some point been baseless" is utterly irrelevant. Are these accusations baseless? Multiple ones, from multiple people, about the same person, over years? No, they're not. Done. End of story.

That would be like arguing: some logical statements are false, therefore the truth of logical statements is unknowable. Lol, no, it just depends on the statement.

(Nowhere in this article, by the way, did anyone allege harm to "get rid of an opponent they do not want to play against".)

> But Lichess has neither the means nor interest in uncovering the truth.

I don't see how that follows at all? Obviously they have interest. As for means, what more do you want? We have a public accusation from a victim in her own words under her own name. Maybe you choose not to believe her, but that's absolutely admissible as evidence. Why doesn't it count here?

The subtext to all of this pontification is clearly not about whether or not private organizations can police their own members. Clearly they can. You don't need to be convicted in court to be fired for stealing soda from your work fridge. This is no different.

What's bugging people in this thread is the same culture war fight we always get into: you tend to disbelieve sexual assault accusations from women, and Lichess tends to believe the accuser. And so sides are drawn up and strawman arguments are prepared. But it's just culture war.

> The old model howevwr was that read and write were translated to rpc calls to the broker.

In the old model, reads/writes were not translated to RPCs. Only for regular files, the broker was donating FDs to the sentry (userspace kernel) and the sentry was allowed to perform read(2)/write(2) directly. This was done as a performance optimization long back.

What is different with directfs is that now the broker additionally donates FDs for other types of files as well (directories, sockets, etc) and the sandbox is allowed to operate on those FDs with more syscalls like mkdirat, symlinkat, etc. This drastically increases the independence of the sandbox is performing filesystem operations, so it does not need to invoke the broker via RPCs.

As described, the sentry is still constrained to operating on only the container filesystem via namespaces and other Linux security primitives.

> It occurs to me that none of these organization naturally have a good mechanism for dealing with these things

Can there even be a good mechanism to deal with these things, when most often there isn't any evidence and it's a "he said she said" situation? That's a fundamental problem with these situations that's intrinsically hard to solve.

One reasonable course of action is to say "we'll see if evidence accumulates, and if there's multiple independent complaints then we'll assume it's true". Which is pretty much what they did here, and now they're facing flak for that, as being on the "ignoring the issue" side of the fence. Another is to say "zero tolerance, any complaint and you're out". And that has obvious problems of being weaponized, and would end up on the "too strict, knee jerk" side of things.

Men and women are both incredibly complex and varied, and organizations having to judges of characters and relationships with limited evidence is going to be inevitably fraught with peril.

Lichess is in the convenient position of having a lot of negotiating power over other organizations because of its ascendancy, which means that since it apparently has a sense of ethics it can assert those ethics on the more-despicable organizations that don't.

Like at all I guess? Or at least least 99% of the time?

I'm not opposed to the idea owning a cellphone: I can have one, if it's without a cellphone plan and spends most of the time powered off inside a drawer.

There's also the special treatment of "", ".", and ".." (that is, a file or directory name consisting entirely of zero, one, or two dots), and the convention that a name starting with a dot is hidden.
Not happening. The sad fact is, people and organizations rarely admit to wrongdoing. You usually only see it happen in court and even then they may deny it even when judged to have done wrong.

If you peel off the layers that have accrued in some distros centralized package management is incredibly simple to implement and effective and met the performance,security, stability, and storage needs at the time of implementation. Think of it like manual transmissions. Consider the package management system of Arch or Void for instance.

As in all cases where one technology supplants another its not enough to be superior in one dimension it's a hard sell unless its not only better but substantially better for all concerns without substantial cost or downside or foisted on users from on high by someone that can't fire by switching brands.

For instance app images have been a thing for a while but nobody formalized it with a store with standards, security, testing for actual not theoretical compatibility etc so its a tool you can pick up rather than an actual ecosystem a user can rely on.
