"Speech" is not limited to vocal communication, which is why a book is a form of protected speech, and flipping someone off is a form of protected speech, and yes, burning a flag or a book may also be a form of protected speech.

Your blanket statement "Burning something is destructive and demeaning [expression]" is clearly wrong. Consider Zozobra ("Old Man Gloom"), an effigy burned during the annual Fiestas de Santa Fe in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Quoting the Wikipedia entry at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zozobra :

> As its name suggests, it embodies gloom and anxiety; by burning it, people destroy the worries and troubles of the previous year in the flames. Anyone with an excess of gloom is encouraged to write down the nature of their gloom on a slip of paper and leave it in the "gloom box" found in City of Santa Fe Visitors' Centers in the weeks leading up to the burn. Participants can also add documents on the day of the burning, up until 8 pm MT, at a "gloom tent" in the venue where they can add to the marionette's stuffing. Legal papers, divorce documents, mortgage pay-offs, parking tickets and even a wedding dress –– all have found their way into Zozobra to go up in smoke. At the festival, glooms from the gloom box are placed at Zozobra's feet to be burned alongside it.

Burning in this case is destructive, yes, and a form of emotional relief.

There's also police present, to ensure the burning goes well, and people leave in high spirits. That burning has been around for over 50 years, with a lot of public good.

Or, consider this example from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_burning#Sikh_book_burning :

> Sikh religion, any copies of their sacred book, Guru Granth Sahib, which are too badly damaged to be used, and any printer's waste which bears any of its text, are cremated. This ritual is called an Agan Bhet, and it is similar to the ritual which is performed when a deceased Sikh is cremated

Do you really want to argue that's demeaning, and that no public good has come from it?

As I pointed out at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31185643 , book burnings are pretty common in the US. I quoted one source that during the 1980s and 1990s, "church youth groups coordinated book burnings and music bonfires to purge their world of evil art." https://religionnews.com/2020/06/17/evangelicals-perfected-c...

This was constitutionally protected free speech in service of their constitutionally protected religious beliefs. And you want to make it so the police couldn't protect them when exercising their rights?
> But I refuse to believe that you asked that question in good faith, because we're obviously going to have all of them. People should be free to live as healthily or as unhealthily as they choose.

Why? Especially in a country with government-subsidized healthcare?

> I did more research about it and discovered that Uyghurs (coming from Turkmenistan committed numerous terrorist attacks

Then you didn’t do your research properly, Uyghur have concentration camps built for them in the last 5 years [1], women were sterilized [2] cultural destruction and forced labor [3] or rape [4] or even selling their organs like hair [5] or tracking Uyghur outside China [6]

The thing about oppressed minorities is if you are not a minority, you won’t know it exists in your daily life (in this case, you are not an Uyghur), and with a big propaganda machine, a quick search won’t give you any accurate results, have you tried visiting that region, meeting with locals and try to investigate?! Most likely you will be kicked out by the government in no time if you did. Sure, other governments around the world did the same or worse like what you mentioned, but that doesn’t give an excuse for such thing, or being passive about a massacre as in “it is not coming from nowhere”..

> Isn't this an unavoidable curse of all maturing democratic/capitalistic countries and economies?

It seems to be, which is really ruining many aspects of society.

One hears all the stories back from the 40s and 50s where a group of neighbors or interested people just got together, bought some materials and built up a club house or community center or pool or any number of things in a few weeks. So towns had all these amenities because they were cheap and easy to build comunally.

Today to build even a small club house for the kids in the community for instance, you'll need to raise millions of dollars to pay off permits and inspections and lawyers and insurance and professional builders (since they won't let you build it yourself). So hardly anything can be done, nobody can afford it.

Arguably sure, the quality of the club house today, if it could be built, is better. But does it matter? How much do we lose by not being able to build hardly anything? That clubhouse from the 50s might be a bit rough around the edges but in most cases it is still standing 70+ years later and has brought joy to counless people.

Imho Netflix doesn’t choose poorly. They have a lot of crap because a lot of people like that stuff.

Check out how popular stuff like 90 day fiance is , or how Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 was Sony’s biggest hit the year it came out.

We equate quality with being desirable for consumption, but media is so subjective and I’d hazard the vast vast majority of people have a lot of guilty pleasure trash shows they watch regularly.

Netflix knows this so has a lot of crumminess amongst its great shows to reflect exactly what their numbers show them.

Generally, the easiest way is with a magnet. The most corrosion-resistant of the common stainless steels are austenitic. These steels are not ferromagnetic, or very weakly ferromagnetic if they have been cold worked. Cheaper and less corrosion-resistant ferritic stainless steels are strongly ferromagnetic.

Martensitic stainless steels are less corrosion resistant than austenitic steels and are ferromagnetic, but they're used for good reason. Unlike other types, martensitic steels are hardenable through heat treatment, making them the only suitable choice for many sharp-edged tools or parts subject to severe abrasion. Stainless steel cutlery is most commonly an 18/0 ferritic grade, but premium cutlery may be an 18/10 austenitic. Kitchen knives are invariably martensitic, because ferritic or austenitic grades wouldn't hold a sharp edge.

Why is it that every time this moral panic is written about, there are no solid studies to back it up? Surely, if there was really a society-wide epidemic of focus, there would be some clear metric for focus which researchers would have 20-30 years of data and studies on, right? This should be a very testable hypothesis, so where is all the hard science on it?

Even in this article, the author just takes some statements from neuroscientists and a study on context-switching in order to make a bunch of unfounded conjecture.

> "is there anything that would prevent you from obtaining a clearance?"

If SpaceX asked that, it would be even easier for govies to prosecute them, because very few of SpaceX employees actually need clearance, and you cannot require clearance eligibility if you don't actually plan to clear them and have them work on cleared work. You are confusing ITAR regulations with classification regime, and these two are wholly separate things.

> Export controlled information is Controlled, Unclassified Information (CUI).

It's not, how could it possibly be? CUI is labelling the government bodies put on stuff. ITAR and EAR covers stuff regardless of whether the government had anything to do with it. For example, if you work as a hobby on software to model nuclear bomb explosions, you'd better not show it your colleagues on H1B, as it's covered by ITAR. It's not CUI, because no govie has slapped CUI on it.

> believe they've become tools to push specific political views

That's always been my opinion. It's the opposite of "inclusive" because it selects for against people that don't like the framing or don't want to see politics in software. It's more like an orthodoxy test people have to pass than an actual mechanism for preventing whatever it's ostensibly trying to prevent.

Imo, software projects should be about software, nobody cares about irrelevant personal characteristics, nor is there a reason to discuss them when working on a software project, so it's not an issue. Forcing the discussion in that direction is about jockeying for power, and it ultimately hurts everyone.

Edit: and you got flagged. I'd take that as an abuse more than an actual judgement from the site, it's not like the post started a flame war or got a bunch of boring replies with the same old stuff... some elements of HN are not too tolerant of certain viewpoints and things get flagged too easily.
Quite promising, and at last it looks like we have pretty decent models that can run locally. It is not perfect; still they fail in the first go to provide a correct answer to stuff like "How do I read a csv file in Julia".

I feel like yes the basic crypto functions should be hardware, hopefully done right and those exposed in the language as builtin functions. Not compiled at the whim of the compiler. Although will point out hardware guys have been mucking up and creating security holes too.
Slack is not good UX in my opinion. It is often hard to see what generated a message notification - so yeah someone called me out, but who? where?. It shows me latest thread as being from last month when I know there have been more recent ones. It doesn't collapse those threads, so 100 reply incident threads dominate that view. Slack doesn't scale well (UX-wise) above say 30 people.

And, we have entertainment that is far better than before.

Well, for one I don't think there is anything particularly unique about the web. We have had 100 years of electronic entertainment. The sentiment used to be 'TV is rotting our brains'.

I've been using Xonsh as my main shell for a few years now, and I'm really pleased with the switch.

There are some downsides you need to overcome:

* Slower to start. Takes a second or two before I can start typing when I open a new tab.

* Less stable. Upgrading will occasionally break something, or spit out warnings you gotta find a way to silence.

* Lack of compatibility. Tools that change you shell profiles to shim some executables (like rvm or pyenv) will not work. I typically source some files manually, or resort to bash if I need to.

* Tab completion is not straightforward.

But IMO I get ample compensation:

* I can write much better and cleaner scripts using Python's syntax and standard lib. Being able to use `argparse` is a blessing, compared to how you read arguments and flags in bash.

* I'm actually able to remember the syntax for looping and conditional.

* I'm more self-sufficient in the terminal for small things like arithmetic operations, generating a UUID, testing regexes, etc.

* Having typed/structured data in the shell, vs everything being plain text is also quite useful when you don't want to turn some easy task into some complex text processing pipeline.
That’s pretty moot. Business would never have confidence because it was pretty obviously a dumb plan.

>I think zoning is a big part of the problem.

I don't think so. The problem is simply to many refugees for the infrastructure/system to absorb. Do we build 10's of 1000's of housing units for future refugee's and immigrants every year, where are the funds for these units procured?

My grandfather slept in a park on a bench when he arrived after WW2 as a DP. No one provided him with anything, he had to look for work, find a way to feed himself and finally he managed to split a room in a rooming house with 2 other people. He said the bed they slept in was always warm because someone was getting up to go to work and someone came home from work and was going to sleep. Many families lived the same way. What's interesting is they had no social assistance or help of any kind. Today there is a belief these types of people should be provided with everything. It just isn't plausible.

> - Safety standards should prioritize the safety of people outside the vehicle, as they are the ones forced to suffer it, unlike the person who made the purchase.

A rational person (probably in a majority of situations in the US), would try reasonably hard to get a safe car to drive. That reasonable effort almost certainly involves writing letters to representatives if necessary. Most people don't have "don't run over pedestrians" as their top priority, even if they won't admit it.
1. We call them 'car parks'.

2. Our standards for car parking spaces and garage sizes haven't changed since the 1930s and our standards for road-building haven't changed since bicycles were the New Thing. We have people driving steam-powered traction engines around, and are still building new steam locomotives. We're not going to rebuild our transport infrastructure because car manufacturers have decided for the past few years that cars need to be big to generate big profit margins.

But `docker run` is the same in every shell. The only things that really change is the syntax for looping over files, advanced globing, things like that. Control-R, tab completion etc all works more or less the same with some minor quirky differences, but nothing that would slow somebody down.

There is a lot of grand father clausing in zoning where what could be built 50 years ago is no longer allowed.

A very long time ago, I've tried using IPython as my login shell.

Things that didn't go well:

- Startup time is not great.

- Many, many things will assume that your login shell is either a superset of /bin/sh; or at least when given "foo", will search $PATH for /usr/bin/foo, etc.

- I ended up using Python features much less often than the regular shell commands.

That said, I would welcome a new "alternative" shell that can balance the expressiveness of Python with ordinary simplicity of plain old Bourne sh.
That’s a great example. Thank you

>Today there is a belief these types of people should be provided with everything. It just isn't plausible.

Living standards were lower back then and WW2 USA was far less wealthy than it is today. Now it can afford to provide humane present-day conditions to people until they can find work and housing themselves. Just count the money the US spent on the war on terror and the war on drugs, it's more than the GDP of some countries.

Refugees don't want hand-outs, they want opportunities to work and provide for themselves. If you deny them decent opportunities and humane living conditions from the start, they're guaranteed to turn to crime to survive, then everyone looses.
The problem I see in n8n is that a lot of the integrations seem a little half baked. We tried to use it instead of Zapier something less than an year ago:

- you have an FTP node, but it doesn't work with FTP over TLS

- you have an AWS SES node, but cannot attach files to the email

- you have a Salesforce node, but it only has very few options available

Just to name a few that I remember now, we were quite disappointed. It is a great software crafted with care, but the integration nodes seem to be built on a hurry to say "over N integrations available".

Maybe it changed now that it reached 1.0, I don't know but they need to invest a bit into it.
