> People outside the US aren't all stupid. There are reasons other countries have different speech laws and not all of those reasons are bad.

This is flawed logic. Consider:

There are reasons other countries have honor killings and not all of those reasons are bad.
The problem is that it's basically impossible to tell when an alarm system has been working all along, vs. failed and was then repaired by a third party — including flashing it with subtly different third-party firmware found online somewhere — and now is "working" again with no visible change to behavior (but where it'll now help you commit insurance fraud.)

As such, there's no way for the insurance companies to make such a forbidding rule, and have it be enforceable. There are no "inspectors" or "auditors" that can be sent to look at your alarm system who could possibly notice that it's been "repaired" in this manner.

Pretty much the only (industry-wide) thing that can be done to curb such repair attempts, is to outlaw the tools (like reverse-engineered third-party firmware) required to do so.

(Of course, any given alarm device maker could do what Apple has done with iPhones, and just make all major components of the devices proprietary, and have all components do signing handshakes before talking to each-other, where they reject each-other unless they've both been mutually first-party signed and activated. This would put high logistical barriers in the way of repairing the device — you'd have to get your hands on first-party parts, that the OEM won't sell you. But there's no system-level incentive that either the state or the insurance companies are in position to create, that would get them to do that.)
> Very few countries have freedom of speech enshrined quite as forcefully as it is in the United States.

The US now seems to have a censorship regime, but it's privatized. "Harvard student groups issued an anti-Israel statement. CEOs want them blacklisted."[1]

I don't think governments should be allowed to silence people which is what will likely happen if something like this happens, but I also don't think people should have the right to do or say whatever they want online with no repercussions either. I think the sweet point would probably be allowing anyone to have their own personal or news website whilst banning any social media or comment section from being unverified. At least this way you can say everyone is entitled to their soapbox but they've got to stand by their words. This seems to be closest we can get to the real world to me. You don't get to be anonymous in real life - you can move to a new town and take on a new identity but if you're consistently an arsehole then you will soon be labelled and treated as such and get run out of town.
It’s also arrogant to believe you are an honest arbiter of what crosses the line. There is a good reason the U.S. errs on the side of free speech.

People forget we used to throw people in the stocks for gossiping about their neighbors or spreading rumors about priests (even if all true)
You're right about where I live.

// It is a compelled choice, even if only for a minority of the population.

I think we agree here, the point is that the law aligns (rather than contradicts) the desires of the local population. Which is different than people dying to replace their colonials with tenements but the government not letting them.

To some extent "everything" is compelled choice. I am precluded from building a cement factory in the middle of Bryce national park, but that probably is in line with the majority of people's desires.

The original comment above asserted that laws are forcing our communities to look as they do. My point is that the laws seem to by-and-large enable us to have our communities as we wish them to be.

It's so difficult to support Biden (or whoever is pulling the strings). While this is surely better than nothing, it seems like everything he does is a quarter-measure. Dangling student loan cancellation in front of young adults then failing to get it done. Instead offering a program where people become debt slaves for 20 years to get it forgiven. Meanwhile he opens up the border at a time where the country cannot even take care of its own citizens. Oh yeah and we cut ukraine $100 billion with zero oversight.
That's way better than anything I've seen. I get a 79.50$/mo quote with a $1000 deductible from Trupanion for my 2yr old dog. Which is why we've never picked it up.

The $250 deductible version is a crazy $184.55/mo.

Don’t social where you do business.
You can actually design roads to encourage attentiveness - by using road trees, narrower lanes, roundabouts, non-straight roads, or obstacles like bollards or similar. These aren't popular though because people want generally want to zone out and move fast.

Courteousness is a bit more difficult to address with just road / public space design, but designing to encourage more driver / non-driver interaction can help.

edit: a very non-american way to force people to pay attention on country roads is to make them BARELY wide enough to accommodate two cars. This forces attentiveness, because you don't want a head-on collision. Sounds problematic, but actually kinda nice in practice.
Also there’s less accountability at the same time that the costs have never been lower. A lot of free speech assumptions are based on relative ratios and implicit social pressure to discourage abuse. There just aren’t that many people who are going to stand around screaming insults or lies in a public space, and there’s no equivalent for one guy pretending to be hundreds of people or, especially, for 10 people in a different country to pretend to be part of an entire political movement on another continent.

Nah, you can’t earn a billion dollars. Dig the hourly rate for someone working 50 years to hit a billion. It’s just not possible. Nobody actually does that much good or delivers that much value. They just happen to capture or steal it somehow, combination of guile and right-place-right-time. If they “earn” it at all.

It’s an artifact of our system that creates a few kinda capitalist-aristocrats, with about the same (poor) level of justification for the power they wield as feudalism had for dukes and kings and shit. Complete with it often having a hereditary element.

[EDIT] Nb I'm not proposing an alternative, and I'm not sure how we might eliminate that wart on our system without doing more harm than good. But once you break a few tens-of-millions net worth, the rules of our economic system start doing some weird and probably not all that great things, "risk" becomes mostly pretend, and you can "earn" more than most do in a lifetime just being a middleman on access to your capital, and not necessarily a very good one. That reaching these levels isn't super connected to competence or expertise at acting as that sort of middleman—doubly so if it's inherited—makes it all rather inefficient and unfortunate and certainly unfair and even corrosive to democracy (since money converts so well into power), but, it's the system we've got and no, I don't have a better suggestion. But it's surely comparably unjust and evil to rule-by-divine-right and all that, which we're all used to dismissing as plainly silly and bad. A difference of small degree.
The goal of much disinfo is exactly this, to remove the idea of objective reality, facts, or truth. It is common and useful to do this in authoritarian regimes. It goes along with depoliticization where the population comes to believe that they have no control and should desire no control over politics or government.

I don't know that much about it, but the impression I got from studying TLA+ was that machine-executable code was distinctly not mathematics, and that programs are never provable. Am I wrong? Or is this just the kind of sensational snake-oil that HN readers are susceptible to buying.
When have either of us lived in a universe where "deserve" has anything to do with reality?

Is that the source of everyone's dysfunction, wandering around whining about "deserving love"? How could I ever give love if I were so desperate to receive it? My life's far from sad. But all the sad people out there seem to agree with you with their whining about deserving love. Have you ever explored that connection?

Why not do both? It would be so much fun - Facebook execs too scared to got to fly the jet to Europe for fear of being cuffed when they land.

EV energy use is mostly proportional to distance traveled, except they're more efficient at lower speeds (typical values are 4-5miles per kWh in city traffic, and 2.4-3.5mi/kWh at highway speeds).

I've noted it's based on median commute, which is around 35-40 miles a day (median means that half people travel less than this, half of people travel more). WLTP range of Telsa Model 3 is 370 miles.

There will obviously be some users who need to charge often, but my point is that it's closer to once a week for at least half of the US population. And I'm using US stats, because the country is particularly car-centric, so if the US can do it, rest of the world can manage too.

The legit trademark issue is https://npmjs.com/package/cypress-cloud (package owned by the Sorry Cypress dude) and then the OP article above links to a bunch of packages that seem to be from disparate owners, but are actually all the same guy OR come from code originally written by that guy and _THEN_ forked (Deploy Sentinel).

The dude also has some pretty nice namesquatted packages (cypress-vscode, cypress-debug) that he references in that article. It made me think that there was serious anti-competitive energy in there and that made me worry for the community.

I rolled back the tweet because it was getting too much traction... and I lost trust in the article once it seemed to be a personal thing that Cy was responding to with radio silence and legalese.

Once I realized the article was misleading, I deleted the tweets that drove the traffic to HN today.
I'm aware of some of those in major cities. Produce does not constitute the whole of one's daily diet (overwhelmingly). Hence, specialization.

Also, having these small produce-oriented grocers does not imply that people are doing daily runs. In my city I only see them in posh, upscale neighborhoods. In some larger metropolises like NY I've seen them also in less gentrified places, but they tend also to be specialty stores.
Headlines with "quietly" are one of my pet peeves. It's a general purpose go-to to make anything seem insidious.

Well, first of all, I was one of those who fought for method references as first-class objects for a few years (the story is told in my blog before[1]), and "let Ruby eventually become more functional" was one of my main arguments!

That being said, there are a few problems on this road, that make it less probable to be followed. First, as Ruby doesn't have first-class Method objects (e.g. object corresponding to `File.method(:read)` doesn't exist until you call `method(:name)` explicitly), this style being popularized will either bring a lot of subtle performance problems, or will require redesign of Ruby's internals.

Second, if we'll make an example _a bit_ more complicated, say:

ENV.fetch('CONFIG_PATH')
.then { File.read(_1, encoding: 'KOI8-U')
.then { JSON.parse(_1, symbolize_names: true) }
.dig('metadata', 'created_at')
.then { Time.new(_1, in: CURRENT_TIMEZONE) }

...it would be impossible to rewrite with `method`, until currying would be signficantly improved (currently it can only be applied to first arguments, not tail ones, and even then looks horrible). So it is not impossible, and it is a turn of the language I'd like to see in the future, but it is not as straightforward as I once imagined.

Huge opportunity here to censor your disfavored groups by calling them fascist, which has, in recent times, evolved from being a political science term, to being a very broad type of insult/accusation usable against almost anyone you don’t like.
> LinkedIn positivity seems a bit artifical to me.

Every time somebody participates in a community, they take on a role in that community's story and that role has a certain shape.

Many people behind the posts here on HN are far less serious than what's suggested by their posts because the community sees humor as too easy a way to derail curiosity and intellectualized dialog. And people are generally more contrarian here than off-site because the community celebrates a good and interesting debate as a way to raise and explore questions. etc etc

Is a HN user being artificial when they choose not to be snarky? Are they being artificial when they pick into an argument they'd have shrugged off elsewhere.

It's no different at LinkedIn. It's tone of positivity may not suit you, but it's not really a different kind of behavior than you see here or on Facebook or Reddit or whatever.
Generative AI as a Service. GaaaS
Ah I could never post this on LinkedIn. But spot on. It is a big no no to be critical on LinkedIn. Not that you will be met with a torrent of backlash - worse you will be silently ignored and "remembered" as not-teamplayer offline. The only way you will know about it is if you had a kind friend who told you that your comment may have been too against the flow.

https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/contributing/stack_q.... It's then two clicks to diff two arbitrary versions of a particular patch. For complex patch sets that take a few rounds of review, it's nice to understand what changed since last time you looked at it. When reviewing code from e.g. a beginner, it helps to quickly check that all comments have been addressed and nothing else has changed, etc.

Then you merge ("land") the patch stack in one unit, and it's tested in one unit, and bisection tooling knows that it is the case and it's nice.

Oh yes, I definitely agree, and I support the rights of farmers to repair the equipment they use. The carve out for agricultural equipment is clearly a concession to John Deere lobbying.

John Deere sees value in IoT data gathered from its equipment to do all sorts of predictive analysis. That very much undercuts the basis of American food production, which relies on government subsidies for a variety of reasons. I ultimately believe that this value is derived by front running American farming subsidies, a complex form of insider trading. An existential crises is brewing in American farming that repairing tractors is on the forefront of.

However, fixing a combine harvester is definitely a different prospect to modifying your game console or cell phone. We can acknowledge that. I still think that farmers are capable of repairing and modifying the equipment they depend on to make a living and provide all of us with food. But there definitely needs to be some form of safety regulation.

That full end-to-end story would be very hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

The existence of the propaganda campaign and the active attempts to exfiltrate voter data are public record and plausible enough for the FBI to have issued arrest warrants regarding the infiltrations.

I'm not saying it's necessary for Russians to have stolen the election for Americans to be questioning the nature of free flow of information online. I'm saying there is more than enough of a preponderance of evidence that an attack along that vector was attempted for people to be asking reasonable questions about the harms of unfiltered information access and how it can be exploited by clever propagandists.
