Thank you! I realized that the left-side menu is actually a TOC, which for some reason I didn't register at first.

is it just me, or is it super difficult to find code samples - even in the tutorial?

Have to be honest, I didn't know about hate speech laws in Weimarer republic. But in terms of equality, I'd say what we get in practice *today* in Germany and Switzerland (don't know about Austria) is a society that is arguab

Didn't know that, thank you. I was speaking from the perspective of constitutional law as I know it.

Thank you for the insights. I'll only disagree with the last statement. Weimarer constitution was value-neutral as opposed to Grundgesetz today - meaning an NSDAP leadership or NSDAP as a party was legally compatible with the the const

Just FYI, hate speech being free speech is an American thing. Other democracies in the world have frameworks for limiting/prioritizing basic rights, right to free speech included (take, for example, German moderation laws) and have not

I think anybody has the moral authority to call out anybody's crimes, if that's objectively true. I'm not going to read the rest of this wordsoup.

No, because your position is indefensible. You argue that only the biggest perpetrator of terrible crimes should be held accountable, and everybody else could be left out. Which is a double standard and you know it, which is why all that yo

Right, so it's the other guys who are allowed to do that. Got it.

Assange was leaking selectively for years for different reasons. You can hardly find any leaks on China or Russia. This is why the Surkov leaks went through just random forums and later Suddeutsche. Finding a humanized agenda there is a bit

You must see the contradiction in this comment, no?

Also, russia apologists and very dubious sources. Weirdly, an experience that is very unlike Mastodon for me.

You being downvoted just shows how HN struggles with things like law practice, which are outside this echo chamber.

The first sentence already misrepresents its source. Jacobin claim: "As of this August, ordinary investors, [...], have lost everything they came to the market with during the pandemic." [source: Business Insider article] Business

that kind of a dynamic is not unique to crypto.

If these companies push humanity forward? Honestly, I'm a bit on the fence about that. Tesla was disruptive in a sense that it made car manufacturers massively accelerate their EV plans. But do I see any continued impact? Not really.

I'm not arguing against subsidies. But, claiming that SpaceX, Tesla, or Musk personally were uniquely competitive, successful, or disruptive while they had a buffer of 5bn USD in the back pocket is misleading.

While not as profound as you, I think I'm a decent developer. The caveat being that I don't work in software development, but in a role that's on the business side with a mix of management, software engineering, a bit of math

Seing how freedom is a human construct, it makes sense only in context of the human condition. So treating it as something separate from outcomes for people isn't helpful.

Freedoms are limited by fundamental human rights. You have the right to choose your own profession freely. But nobody complains about not being able to choose "murderer" freely.

No they are not. They are designed to prevent authoritarianism. The Weimar republic with all of its absolute, unqualified freedoms didn't work out that great.

Do you want to take a test and get a license to work on AI? Because that's how you are going to get there.
