> is reasonably privacy-friendly, more so than fb/whatsapp/etc

This is a harmfully misleading notion that we shouldn't be spreading. Without explicitly invoking "secret chats" which are not even available on desktop telegram is no different from skype and fb messenger and is categorically less secure than whatsapp.

Don't forget the copyright infringement honeypots whose operators have a streamlined access to ISPs to obtain identities of the alleged infringers.

Also the legal obligation to have every website specify the legal street address of the entity behind it as well as the full name of the "managing director" in charge.

It's not just the privacy, it also recognizes the right to protect one's reputation and has a much broader construction of defamation and libel than the US (although still not as broad as the UK), but the point is that there are no special liability protections for online services except maybe in the name of journalism and general public interest, also no DMCA - a copyright violation is a copyright violation and if your users commit it you're liable.

God I love the dunning-kruger view of Germany as the last bastion of internet liberty, it's utterly wrong - Germany has so many laws restricting online speech that you (and the service hosting your content) can be sued just for mentioning someone by name in a disparaging context, nothing like the CDA 230 protections exists there in the first place.

Doesn't it seem odd to anyone that despite having some of the best hackers in the world come from it Germany has zero world-scale content platforms ?

Very smart people might have been duped into investing alright, but it's not because they were duped to believe in the tech or the product, rather it was because they were duped to believe that a bigger sucker will come along as from their previous experience one usually did eventually.

Whether they are better or not is up to you to decide, but "focus on simplicity and minimalism" is not what's going on here.

> This article series is a guide to modern Python tooling with a focus on simplicity and minimalism

No it isn't, it introduces at least two external tools of questionable necessity - pyenv and poetry when python comes with venv and pip natively.

That's a different piece of legislation

Really seems far less harmful than EARNIT, not that it replaces it - in fact it could be a gambit to get the big web companies to play along with passing EARNIT

Or they could stop editorializing their content.

So what about this purported order establishes new censorship ? Surely censorship has not become synonymous with interfering with the right of online services to the moderate their content as they see fit ?

It's one thing to believe the poster but why does the poster believe an anonymously sent "Executive order draft" and publish it ?

How dare they - that used to be the job of traditional media and entertainment.

Should be enough to get a neural net to raise till round C or so.

That's true, but pretty tautological as far as being an explanation for homelessness goes, it is also true for every other place.

> There's a significant subset of people that cry the loudest of censorship only when it comes to communities having a stance against racism, sexism and homophobia.

That's your own bias speaking here, HN is pretty vocal against all censorship or community hijacking efforts. It's just that in nine cases out of ten "a stance against racism, sexism and homophobia" is used performatively and in bad faith and few people here buy it or bother to pretend that they do.

It is actually a very strong medicine, but good luck coordinating a critical mass of core contributors and moderators towards a single effort. Expect the new policies to have the "unacceptable" writeups also excluded from revision histories so that they could not be easily rehabilitated in competing forks.

The vast majority of the homeless are not such because the rent went up just above what they could previously afford but because they're unemployable and no one will rent a place to them usually due to a comibnation of substance abuse and mental illness, so they panhandle or do odd jobs and need to be in a place where there is a strong foot traffic of relatively well-off people and a thriving street economy, between those cities SF and NYC fit the bill the most and also have the most homeless-friendly laws and also most shelters, charities etc.

Contrast and compare with the butt-hurt employee effect.

When your per-capita covid19 mortality rates are almost 200% of the US and almost 600% of Germany you need all the bafflement your citizens can buy.

Way too long to read so I'm gonna assume it says "government conspiracies are real, happen all the time because a conspiracy is just people working together towards some goal while keeping it a secret from other people and the only question is if your particular one is true or even remotely makes sense" and agree.

The slowness seems like the smallest concern here

"We found that due to these weak defaults, MongoDB’s causal sessions did not preserve causal consistency by default: users needed to specify both write and read concern majority (or higher) to actually get causal consistency. MongoDB closed the issue, saying it was working as designed, and updated their isolation documentation to note that even though MongoDB offers “causal consistency in client sessions”, that guarantee does not hold unless users take care to use both read and write concern majority. A detailed table now shows the properties offered by weaker read and write concerns."

That sounds like a valid redress, or am I missing something ?

There is no new Microsoft - this is the "embrace, extend, extinguish" Microsoft of always, betting that the forkable nature of open source will not matter in practice, so far correctly.

Only if by next you mean last and by 'major problem' you mean 'mostly ignored due to lack of tangible accountability for anyone involved'

Well the 'anyone else' part is wrong, someone has to provide the news.

Don't you wonder how they make or plan to make revenue or do you think they're in it for truth, justice and happiness of all mankind ?

I'm not sure how to parse the following sentence:

Facts are that whatever e2e encryption telegram allegedly offers needs to be invoked per-conversation as a 'secret chat' and is not availabe on dekstops, normal conversations are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -encrypted
