The_Franz posted:normal teenagers who aren't weirdos with no friends post tons of pictures of themselves on social media though I read that post as more along the lines of “maybe you should think twice about posting thousands of pics of your kid online before they’re old enough to meaningfully consent” which seemed like a fair point but maybe I’m giving HN too much credit here?

Antigravitas posted:AGC unintentionally. the author is all over the rest of the thread defending the feds and complaining that portland has defended into lawlessness, the mayor and pbb helpless in the face of the terrifying terrorist organization known as antifa. --- blisseyGo 2 hours ago [–] Those are federal property and feds have full rights to do this. Also a lot of people who are being arrested are from another state. That's been the case for at least 45 days now. There's a point where the feds have to step in since the local people in that area are being terrorized. I have friends in that area and they are all planing to move out of the city because the Mayor, DA and Governor have been useless for a long time. reply

lazyjones 1 day ago [–] The bullying/mobbing aspect of Cancel Culture should explicitly be made illegal. I don't understand how people don't recognize it as what it is: idealogical "cleansing" in the same way the Nazis, Mao, Stalinists did it. Simple employer protection as suggested doesn't go far enough, the intent to harm one's career on ideological grounds must be punished. reply

otherprob 22 minutes ago [–] The bigger problem is that technology advancements gravitate at the demands of the noisiest, with the most social gravity. Yes there are a lot of smart people at FAANG and Cloudflare corp. There are a lot of just as capable folks not driven by job addicted meme. Technically there’s no reason the web couldn’t be replaced with 1:many via Wireshark key sharing based access control to local content. But via Wall Street, along these very particular rules, is how we are told to trade information. How is that not a planned economy? Not just by doing what we’re clearly interested in doing naturally. Make no mistake: big corp isn’t making us login at gunpoint. “They” didn’t do this. “We” did this. reply

fdschoeneman 2 hours ago [–] According to the Ars piece, the outsourced fact checkers claimed an opinion piece was false because all of the facts in it were cherry picked: "The researchers found that the post by the CO2 Coalition was based on cherry-picked information to mislead readers into thinking climate science models are wrong about global warming." This is not a logical argument. Facts are correct or incorrect, whether they're cherrypicked or not. reply

foobar_ 3 hours ago [–] I'm not insane ... you are just the type of person who will defend roman numerals. Maybe you just have OCD. 1. Socrates is mortal 2. Mortals die 3. Socrates dies Deduction is really like amazing. Holy poo poo we really proved something spectacular here. I guess you would be really impressed if I used tau and sigma and defined death with vietnamese alphabet. Almost the entirety of calculus was derived from problems related to physics. Volumes were calculated for doing engineering. Mathematics != Thinking. The last time I checked both logic and critical thinking were branches of philosophy. All good mathematicians are physicists or engineers. Heck some even learnt maths on their own. All mediocre mathematicians write textbooks and hide behind notations. Come to think of it they remind me of OO programmers in their utter arrogant mediocrity. Most abstract mathematics is like the definition of protocols/interfaces and other platonic garbage. I suppose this debate will never end. Plato vs Aristotle, Deduction vs Induction, Analytic vs Synthetic .... reply

e: originally asked for context of the above, but managed to find it, and the whole thread clarifies the idiotic point pretty well (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23913295): foobar_ 1 day ago [–] No one uses mathematical notation for practical purposes. This is just like the medival music notation which is neither practical nor what modern composers use, which is more visual in nature. Infact modernism is a rejection of medievalism. I think in the future programming will force all mathematicians to code or give out simulations. Most mathematical notation was intended to be throwaway by the original authors, thats why there are so many notations. Trying to find relevance in them is a pointless exercise. Much like 80x20, tabs vs spaces ... most of the original intent is lost and what survives is guff meant for ceremonious purposes. foobar_ 1 day ago [–] What I am trying to convey is writing software is better than writing maths, just like medieval music notation vs modern notation. Programming is better than proving because most proofs are mere tautologies or artificial constraints. This is why theorem provers in code rely on term rewriting. A triangle has a sum of 180 ? Well how about if you push the triangle inside out. In code you can easily run a more complex simulation which gives you all possible values of the sum ... which is why ascertaining useful facts like 180 ad-nausea is boring at best. In fact most mathematics if it can't be simulated can't exist. Cybernetic Vermin fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Jul 23, 2020 |

sure this is dumb take... but I wonder how this poster feels about murder rabite 38 minutes ago | parent [–] | on: LSD Chemist William Pickard to Be Released from Pr... Yeah but the giant protests occupying cities for weeks are not about psychedelics sentences at all. They are generally in support of the state of things, funded by hostile billionaires in hopes that small businesses will be destroyed and that any potential competition in the middle class will disappear with them. People aren't asking for lower LSD sentences, they are demanding an end to "racism" and some kind of penance because a career violent criminal with heart disease passing counterfeit currency overdosed on fentanyl while being arrested. rabite 5 months ago | parent [–] | on: The ReiserFS Filesystem (2000) Reiser is up for parole this year. The hearing is in March. I myself don't have a lot of public respectability, but if you are a CS PhD or occupy a notable position at a tech company you might be able to mail the parole board. Murdering your wife is detestable but I don't think he will ever find another woman to marry him and I don't think he would commit murder under any other circumstances. I don't think he is a continuing danger to society and the world would benefit if Reiser were allowed to continue his work.
