It's that and the GOP sees that very conservative government action is popular and you've got a bunch of people trying to angle for 2024. But I promise you, the reason why that is possible is because the conservative morality is o

It's the kind of thing that if used as precedent going forward turns into a mine field. It breaks federalism. It's something law the fugitive slave laws of the 1850s.

I'm not attempting to moralize. What I am trying to say is it didn't pass here because it was trying to target any specific group, it passed here because people tend to be conservative and for them the moral position is to be agai

The law is unconstitutional and moronic for the reasons the article outlines. That's not why it got passed. It's not always about race. It's so hard for HN to get that but here a lot of the most serious proponents of pro-life

What you are describing is SV. SV doesn't have to be the tech industry and it isn't.

I guess my main disagreement is that private solutions dn't have to be greedy and community solutions are often driven by it. I think we want the same or similar things, we disagree about the process?

How many people here work in those institutions? Do they not have power to make change or work somewhere else?

These profs know that democracy isn't a magic fix. The changes made to tech today will come from the democratic system, the same system that is not working great. The current situation sucks but a challenger still has the power, overre

I do academic work in this area, which was inspired by watching Reddit and HN for a decade. I do think something must be done, but the notion that it should be the government taking action scares me. I believe, platonically that is the righ

It feels like some point within the last few years tech became a place where you are identified by the tools you choose (ok, vim and emacs have been around). Not just that, but you sell your project based on those tools. So you can have tha

Did you see that the top post on HN for a decent chunk of yesterday was celebrating that they were getting 200 rps? 200 rps was not something to brag about to your parents 15 years ago, but half of HN seems to have never heard of serving a

I'd never seen this, but it's too good. Thanks.

Sure, I know this sounds like well-actually anyway, but I tried to soften it by not asking "have you not used..."? On any Ubuntu/debian system this is pretty trivial try using apt install. You've i3 which is an old popul

I'm surprised to see you so excited about this. Have you used tiling window managers? What does this and a rofi or similar component not have, or a gnome3 script? Not as convenient, yeah. The big concern I would have if I were these gu

This is just basic use the right tools for the right job 101. You've got what is basically a static website. You want to serve static files. To do that, you use a fast language and/or servers written in those languages. It's

200 rps is not great.

No downvote here but it's that. We're used to people talking about a place that doesn't exist usually so we're touchy about it. But the law is crazy, unconstitutional and would start a tit-for-tat form of legislating tha

Sure, but a wrapper around Electron isn't a hard thing to copy, and they've got to go from a neat tech demo to what you are describing.

Charging for a browser sounds crazy to me.

Yeah. I'm not trying to die of cancer or have reduced mental capacity. I want these studies. I know from my own anecdotal experience that d9 (reg THC) gives me incredible anxiety but d8 does not. My mental health is better than it was

It can lead to anxiety and panic attacks due to the high levels of THC relative to the past.

The point of the misinformation campaigns is to tap into that angst. You could create new issues if you want after you have a captive audience, but they start by looking for targets. How else would you do it?

by crazy_horse 5y ago
No conspiracy. Really smart people with egos tend to overate the transfer of their expertise from one domain to another. You see this all the time in tech.

There are absolutely covid misinformation campaigns. It would take very, very little for a single person influenced by one of those to have led to thousands of deaths. Correlation does not equal causation sounds like an argument that would
