> he has to allow <all the people you disagree with and despise> because otherwise it would be censorious and an attack on free speech

Yes. Because all these people, however unpleasant their speech may be for you or me, have the same right to speak their mind on the questions of public importance as you and me. Yes, even racists.

However, publishing somebody's private information that can easily lead to deadly attack on him or his family is in entirely different class of speech. It does not contribute to any public discussion or does anything positive, just endangers people and enables violence. It is not severe enough to make the law involved, but it is going far enough that restricting it on social media is summarily a positive thing.

The owner of the social media platform has to draw the line, which speech is allowed on the platform and which is not. Some would draw it on "anything legal is allowed". Some would even do "anything is allowed" but those will find themselves in trouble with the law pretty quickly. Some would say "some legal speech - like porn - is not allowed", or "some legal speech - like revealing private information of public figures and their relatives - is not allowed", etc. These are valid choices (as it is valid to criticize them), and they are not inconsistent at all. You can support free speech without supplying your platform to organize attacks on public figures or hurting their families. You do not have to be "all or nothing" - and in fact, nobody has advocated "all or nothing" policy towards Twitter or Facebook or any of the social media platforms ever, before Musk. Now, because Musk is also not "all or nothing" - as is everybody else - how is he any special? His line is such that publishing private information about people that can hurt them is not ok, good for him I say.

> when the political viewpoint on one side is that the other side has no right to exist

Yes, I know, you only have to be bad because your opponents are so much worse. Always a good excuse. It is totally OK for good people to be bad to bad people, after all, we are good people and they are bad people, that makes it right when we do it to them, but wrong when they do it to us!
I wouldn't like that either. Instead, maybe issue licenses to gamblers and like with a credit score, the fact that you have a gamblers license can affect things like getting loans, renting things, what you can buy,etc.. Let others who suffer an increased risk based on interacting with you refuse to do so, or incur additional penalties. Your monthly cap idea still nannies citizens.

We should be free to ruin ourselves if we so wish, but if we are set on a track like that, others should be made aware so they can react as they wish.

Same with drugs, if you get a drug use license, then employers can deny you jobs, you may not be allowed to drive, be trusted with loans,etc..

You get rights, but they come with responsibilities and restrictions.
I like that they went from Ubuntu to Debian as the base OS. I assume they target Debian Sid (the unstable flavor of Debian) because they can compensate for the instability with the immutability provided by ABroot. Or is it simply because the distro is pretty much in a rapid development stage?

The distribution looks very fun. Something quite new to play with for distro-hoppers and to learn more about some techs.

Last time I tried fedora-silverblue I didn't like it. My packages were scattered in 2 or 3 distrobox containers. It's not that much, but they can be different distributions, and then we add flatpak to the mix, and apps installed in the base OS with rpm-ostree... It felt like a frankenstein distro. Upgrades were time consuming, and not smooth at all. Not only did I have to learn how to manage a fedora-silverblue, but I also had to maintain a debian container, upgrade another fedora (a regular one, not silverblue), learn the quirks of flatpak, and... that was too much work. It doesn't really matter that I can confidently upgrade the empty base OS, if I still need to manually upgrade my fedora container and it can break the package I need from that container.

The approach here with Apx is worth a closer look. It abstracts away the different package managers of the main distro (`apx search` PACKAGE will translate to `apt-cache search` in debian container, `pacman -Ss` in arch container, `zypper search` in opensuse...). The concept of "exporting" the packages, and the UI around it, makes me think they aim at making the management of these distrobox containers easier.
Hi type 1 here. Since our errant immunity is localized on the insulin producing beta cells being on immune supressants would still be better than being insulin deoendent. Type 1 diabetes is a wild condition, when my blood sugar drops, subsections of my brain switch off. Low sugars are very emotionally bleak. There is a whole set of post traumatic stressors as part of this. 35 years ago I could just walk into a pharmacy and buy insulin without a prescription, maybe the pharmacist might as a couple of questions to at least try and be sure I need it, and that insulin was maybe $30 cash with no insurance and that was enough for a month. So everything might be $70 for an entire month w 5 blood sugar tests per day. Now a months supplies is in the hundreds of dollars. This stuff doesn't involve much more to manufacture, just layers of beauracy and markups. So yes having to take a cheap pill or two every day with the worst case being a revertion to being insulin dependent is worthwhile. Now side effects of the immune drugs might maybe be worse, but I doubt that. And this is a pilot to get FDA approval to test genetically modified beta cells that a type 1 wont destroy. Thanks for any understanding and compassion you can bring to this discussion.
Legalized gambling with big enterprises running it and ads visible to most people, many of whom wouldn't usually gamble, should be orders of magnitude worse than informal networks. One may not get rid of the latter, but stopping the former has a very great value.
Show HN: Sci-parser, a parser for extract data from the unstructured output
sci-parser is designed for extract data from unstructured output of scientific software. I try to make it as easy as possible, performance is not a top priority for now.
1. Would you still try to pitch this to someone who is violently allergic to "clickOps" and GUI-centric paradigms? What would you lure them in with?

2. How is a "multiplayer" experience superior to code review-based collaboration flows, in general and for infrastructure work in particular? (I'm someone who values peer review highly and thinks that an independent reviewer improves both the credibility of the process and the quality of the outcome, but who doesn't think a pairing session counts as an objective review.)
That just moves the issue onto the production of drones.
Yep, this idea was actually explored by researchers using GTA to train self driving cars back in 2018.

> Getting rid of good workers because you don't personally like them? Keeping your mates even if they're useless?

Things are rarely so clear-cut. Usually there are shades of gray and humans tend to develop affinity for the ones they interact with in person. So if two colleagues are similar in performance, one in office gets preferential treatment due to unconscious bias.

That's just human nature and how we have evolved. If you want to learn more about it, here is a pointer - https://www.betterup.com/blog/proximity-bias

A compiler can reuse memory as much as it likes -- but only if the visible behavior of the program is consistent with the language requirements.

If you write:

{
int n = 42;
printf("%d\n", n);
}

in the abstract machine, `sizeof (int)` bytes are allocated on entry to the block and deallocated on exit, but a compiler can legally replace the entire block with `puts("42")` and not allocate any memory for `n`.

Memory for objects defined in nested blocks is logically allocated on entry to the block, but compilers commonly merge the allocation into the function entry code. Even so, objects in parallel blocks can certainly share memory:

int main(void) {
{
int a;
}
{
int b; // might share memory with a
}
}

Logically, memory for `a` is allocated on entry to the first inner block, and memory for `b` on entry to the second inner block. Compilers will typically allocate all the memory on entry to `main`, but can use the same address for `a` and `b`.

> they say bans never work and only make the problem worse or introduce new problems

No, that's not what we say. The primary argument for it is because we do not subscribe to a utilitarian morality. If we know that some decision leads to better outcomes from the POV of general quality of life and the like, we still wouldn't support it if it trampled individual freedoms, because we consider the latter to be more important.

It's not a difference of opinion over whether a certain theorem proves true or false. It's a matter of different set of axioms altogether.
RIP ZIRP. Kyle was cool and had the right attitude about a lot of things. He built some great frontend tooling e.g. fontsource, without locking it into his larger projects like Vercel did. That was very altruistic. Regardless, yeah, I couldn’t believe it when Gatsby got its seed round. It was a wild time.

A Super 8 cartridge is only good for 2.5 minutes at 24 fps and 3:20 at 18 though, going to 120 (or even 20-30) minutes was quite a trade up.

> Then VHS came out with the shoulder mount bricks. It took forever for VHS-C palmcorders to make them much more portable.

The first VHS camcorder (a combined camera and recorder unit) was VHS-C. The JVC GR-C1, released 1984, made famous in Back to the Future.

Full size (VHS) shoulder units actually came a bit later as a lower cost option, and they sold more readily into the 90s. Likely in part because if you were portability and not cost conscious you opted for 8mm (video tape) at that time, 150 minutes and superior audio, slightly better PQ (color).

Prior to that if you wanted to record VHS on location you carried a 10 kg “portable” VTR on your hip with a shoulder strap and a cable to the camera that was another 5 kg.
But in those days (late 70s-80s) 1/2” Betamax and 3/4” U-matic(!) were more common for portable use (didn’t help that the early VHS portables were bulkier and heavier than the competition).
drug addicts and people who lose all their money gambling are a nuisance to the public.
I'm really just addressing

>Because at least in America “free speech” refers to 1st Amendment protection

Which I took to be the part that tried to answer why 'whining that others have a different view on what “free speech” means' is somehow bad behavior in a way that other political speech isn't.

I really had no intention of discussing my position on free speech, but briefly: It is morally good for an entity to permit freedom of speech and it is morally bad for them to suppress it, but I don't think the government has any business pushing them in either direction.
Why are those alternatives for you?

I find it very easy to hold the governments, people, and companies as all culpable in the own way.
Sorry, what are you talking about? None of this is true. Government-owned shipyards were not historically responsible for significant fraction of delivered tonnage. In fact, given the utter atrophy of private shipbuilding industry in US today, I wouldn't be surprised if the percentage of tonnage delivered by government owned shipyards today was higher than ever.
In order to censor speech, to prevent leading the masses astray, the censor must hear/see it.

Why isn't the censor led astray?
"Lost" is a relative term. I'd like to watch old episodes of MTV's "You Wrote It, You Watch It" (hosted by a young Jon Stewart!) but good luck finding that on the internet anywhere.
Is that it? Or is that we read articles like this one based on actual data from actual real world testing and evaluation, and recognise that the risk of failure is probably beyond what most of us are willing to tolerate?
Yes, the collapse has happened, but it had not happened due to "privatization" of government shipyard. These were all privately owned shipyard that collapsed. The comment you are responding to is inventing some kind of alternative history that simply has not happened, and probably this is why it's downvoted.
There's a rather simple reason why this is believable: as a board member of OpenAI Inc (the non profit), he is a disqualified person under self dealing rules [1][2]. If he actually gave himself a multi-billion dollar stake in the for-profit OpenAI Global LLC, it'd be the biggest self-dealing investigation in the history of nonprofits. The IRS and CA FTB would come down hard and OpenAI & Sam would spend a year+ dealing with the fallout.

Let’s call this what it is:

Automattic shaking down the biggest competitor to his hosting business.

But a service disruption like this is bad strategy.

WPEngine runs accounts for many very recognizable brands and large orgs - kinds of clients Matt wants to see switch over.

Given disruptions like this, those clients are far more likely to see Wordpress as unreliable software before their hosting provider.

And Matt might not realize it but almost all of those large accounts already have multiple devs who are _eager_ to migrate away from Wordpress.

In the current debate over RTO, there is often an argument about letting people choose their preferred work arrangement.

Based on the article, I'd advise keeping proximity bias in mind when making your choice. Unless one is a superstar whose value is obvious to management and colleagues, it seems better to work from office to overcome proximity bias which will hurt your perceived performance assuming all else same.

Obviously, some people will rationally prefer no commute or bigger homes etc, which is okay as long as one is cognizant about the cost they are paying.
Well if it turns out to be true, it's not a "conspiracy theory" anymore, so mission accomplished.
There's no brigade of users, as far as I can tell, flagging negative things about Sam Altman, and anyway the concern doesn't pass the smoke test because there is tons of negative content about Sam on HN. Just look at the latest thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41665045. The recent discussions are practically bloodbaths. If you're concerned about a shortage of negative content about Sam on HN, you have nothing to worry about. The problem is that most of these extra submissions, like the current one, aren't interesting—they're just piling on to an already hyper-discussed ragefest. HN is supposed to be for intellectually interesting conversation, which that is not.

Since you asked for data, I looked at the flagging histories of all the users who flagged the current submission. There's no particular focus on Sam stories. Here's a representative sample of other things the same users have flagged:

> The reason we have laws is to facilitate corruption? That seems like something we ought not to want.

No, the reason we have laws is because politics and corruption and crime is intristic to society. They are the reality of human condition which can't go away and we can't ignore, so we have to deal with it.

> That's the media. The government over-complicates things. The media over-simplifies things.

I had in mind the part of the "media" which "rebels against the media", Noam Chomskies and Michael Moores of the world.
I’m unsure but I’ll be honest in that I find it hard to understand how online poker is illegal in most states yet sports betting and the lottery are fine.

Sleep makes a huge difference, followed by walking or any other exercise (outside seems better than inside.)

Handwritten notes are more memorable than typed notes, as you... note.

For exams, I prime the pump by working sample questions shortly beforehand.

Supposedly making a concerted effort to recall something that you've (almost?) forgotten can also help. One method (hack?) for recalling specific terms or names that you almost remember is going through the alphabet until you hit the letter that it starts with.
I'm personally leaning towards gambling ban, but I can give a few excuses not to:

* Gambling won't disappear completely, but will move underground (creating mafias), or at least people will gamble online illegally (depriving country of tax revenue)

* Not every gambling leads to ruin, just like alcohol drinking is not always alcoholism. At policing the way people have fun is indeed a complex issue.

* There are forms of gambling that can't be regulated easily. One (unfortunately) form of gambling common recently is making insane bets in the stock market (see WallStreetBets subreddit, for example). It's even tax advantaged, compared to regular gambling.

* Making gambling illegal may make it harder for gambling addicts to find the help they need.
Nowadays many hiv positive individuals are in better than average health. And a fluke for the ones diagnosed with AIDS they enjoy a slightly longer than average lufe expectancy. This is part a survivor bias, where only the fittest of tgat cohort survived. It is also due to their being eledgable for medicaid with double the income of anyone else.
I think that is exactly Matt’s problem with the conduct of WP Engine—they have done next to nothing to support the infrastructure that they profit from.

It’s like a person who uses ad block saying they won’t watch YouTube if google breaks the ad blocking. That is exactly what they want, you have negative value.
If they're commercially-recorded tapes (labelled with entertainment value), then a thrift-store chain might extract some value. (That's what I did with my eclectic vinyl collection.)

If they're empty or a random collection of this-and-that programs, then they might sell them at low prices to people who still have VHS machines and need the tape. (I'd imagine new tapes are scarce and expensive.)
Unless something actually crashes, which any code could do, then why would you need to reload? Just send a websocket message that requests the current full state.

But if it's implemented correctly, it probably won't get out of sync.
Less is more – save time with AI
Hi there,

So I just launched a new app called "Less is More - save time w/ AI".

This is an app where you can set up recurring tasks that involves AI powered recommendations and get reminded at the set cadence. For instance, if you’re tired of consistently looking for what to have for dinner, you can set up a daily task to remind you and get you new recipes everyday!

This is the link to the app:

Any feedback would be very much appreciated!
Again, take a look at the wording from Red Hat for comparison:

https://www.redhat.com/en/about/trademark-guidelines-and-pol...

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines#Tr...

The examples Red Hat gives as acceptable are likely similar wording to how you would offer WordPress hosting without titling your service merely “Enterprise WordPress”.

As for why you don’t receive trademark rights when you are granted a license to code:

“In addition to the license text, open source publishers commonly include statements separate from the license indicating that trademark rights are not provided.”

“One of the primal questions about trademarks in F/OSS projects is, absent a clause excluding a trademark grant, 'Do the open source software licenses imply a trademark license?' […] Given the large proportion of OSI-approved licenses that are either silent on trademarks, or prohibit only endorsement, advertising or other specific behaviors, and the number of software offerings that may be distributed under these licenses, the impact of an implied license would be far-reaching. With the caution that this has not been tested by the courts, the answer should be a clear 'no'. […] Although rights to the use, modification and redistribution of the code are granted under the F/OSS licenses, trademark rights are not provided inherently and often are expressly excluded as a point of clarification. […] The US courts have generally resisted opportunities to imply a trademark license.”

I can't tell if this comment is really serious. In case it needs explanation, you don't ban gambling advertising by having a censor watch every ad and then decide which ones to allow. You pass a law that says "no advertising gambling" and then if someone does it, you prosecute them.
> The latter isn't even much cheaper.

For the customer, perhaps. Higher margin, though, so the business can survive with fewer customers.

I think it is pretty clear that "high class" places attract more restaurant traffic. Case in point: The town I grew up in, of 1,000 people but a town of the rich and famous (you're probably familiar with quite a few of them), there are 15 restaurants (was 16, but one recently burnt down). The town where I live now, which is the next one up the road but more of a working man's town, has 3,000 people yet only seven restaurants.
Might as well go all in then and equip the ships with the world's best buggy whips.
