Why? Don't I have a right to free speech (on Facebook)?

Should it be moral for the government to set up small, limited, "free speech zones" far away from everywhere and say "If you want free speech, go here?". (Yes I know that has sorta happened in USA) What about requiring that all bookshops/newspaper sellers in a certain area only sell books/newspapers that don't mention $TOPIC. You're quite free to go to a bookshop 100km away which will sell you anything. Is that not a restriction on free speech?

The first Escalade certainly was a Suburban/Tahoe in different dress, but the last two generations are just different cars that share only the platform (which is a good thing, too). Its sales are steadily increasing worldwide.

As for Luxury, I doubt you can find anything more worthy of that attribute outside of brands like Bentley or Rolls-Royce. And in its segment even the CTS is well above average. It's the perception that you're showing as well that's hindering the sales.

Oh, and you forgot how they "tried" to be cool by holding the Nurburgring record for a while.
> Using that same logic however, insulting a religion specifically to demonstrate/cause violent reaction should trigger a per-emptive jail term without trial in the USA?

Constitution says no, but if they call you a terrorist, the government could put your ass in Gitmo and you'd never be heard from again.
Is it really so hard? The technology we have mostly helps people to free themselves from non-US, non-western-European "oppressing" governments (so basically all their enemies get trouble with their population, and the population becomes more open to our culture and more dependent on our technology).

But inside our borders we become more and more dependent on the technology, have less and less insight into what is happening in this technology. Also increasing the power of forementioned US and western European governments.

The only thing maybe becoming a problem is the eastern hemisphere with China, Russia, S.Korea, Japan and Taiwan (if they decide to work together, but happy for us they are pretty much split in the middle).

Its still debatable whether Facebook and Twitter are "publishers" or just some utility companies. Should your ISP be allowed to censor what you post? Most of us would think, no. Its a blurry line.
I think this article treated the campus free speech debate very fairly, but isn't there a pretty important difference between government suppression and social suppression? As an extreme example, it would be wrong for the government to prosecute the Westboro Baptist Church for their speech, but it's not wrong for the rest of the country to ostracize them. As long as students aren't advocating for actual laws curbing speech, it seems like a fundamentally different category.

I'm not saying it's not a problem, I just think it's a different problem. And I think it's important to acknowledge that free speech doesn't mean all speech must be equally respected, it just has to be allowed.

This is one of those subjects where people like to put moral consequences on the bystanders when it's the rules and larger structures of the society that matter.

Driving in India is completely insane and after about a week of white-knuckle driving you kind of just go with the flow and convince yourself that it must just work. While that is true the definition of it 'working' is totally unexpected for a westerner. Driving conditions are extremely adversarial and accidents are frequent. People are injured and die all the time. It's the kind of problem that absolutely needs to be solved at the regulatory/policy level.
But rotate it 60 degrees, and it looks like a happy monkey face. At least to me.
Serious question, why does that matter? If you've got a thousand tabs open, that's 700mb, or roughly 4% of your (probably) 16gb of memory. Why worry?

> private companies should be exempted from free speech rules, and should be allowed to publish, or not publish, anything they want.

Yes, isn't this obvious? Freedom of speech protects you from government suppression, that's it. It doesn't mean anybody has to respect what you're saying, and it doesn't mean you get to force anyone to broadcast your message.
But the library that you re borrowing from probably also borrows books from your library. So you have "paid" by sharing the books that your taxes have paid for with that library.

Technically speaking, it's a lot easier to do a separate process per tab, and let things crash just like any other running process. If they don't stop there and try to actually manage processes by themselves according to some messed up logic, then yes, I agree with you that there's no point to e10s and probably Mozilla.
As usual, religion is a smokescreen. The most salient motivation for Saudi and other quasi-state support of "radical" Islam is to focus the populace's dissatisfaction outward toward the West instead of inward toward the horrific authoritarian regimes that rule these areas.
>It's interesting that many who advocate a "free speech über alles" approach have a curious exemption for property rights

You find this to be a curious exemption? I think the term "freedom of speech" generally means the freedom to let your ideas be known without fearing official (i.e. government) reprisal or suppression.

I don't think "freedom of speech" has ever been generally understood to mean that companies/venues/clubs/etc cannot regulate communication according to their own rules, or have an editorial policy where they choose what gets published and what doesn't.

The right of Facebook to set their own rules on their "property" (websites) absolutely trumps your desire to force them to air your views, both morally and legally. This has no effect on your freedom of speech (as that term is traditionally applied) -- because Facebook has no monopoly on speech venues.

>Should Facebook's property rights overrule my free speech rights?

Yes, because "declining to provide you with a free unlimited platform for speech" is not the same thing as "denying freedom of speech".

I don't think this is a particularly controversial view.
In 1944, 18 year olds were storming the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe. In 2016, 18 year olds demand that college administrators protect their fragile psyches from pro-Trump chalk on the sidewalk.

The biggest problem isn't the student protesters, illiberal and hateful though they are. It's the cowardly (or the shrewd politically-motivated) college administrators who acquiesce to their demands for censorship. It's also the fault of the federal government, which has been pushing absurd readings of civil rights laws to force "hate-speech" codes on college campuses.

If a society wants its values to survive, it needs to have the confidence to defend them and pass them on to the next generation.
On my Windows 7 work laptop I just added the following to my settings.json:

"terminal.external.windowsExec": "Powershell.exe",
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\windows\\system32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe"
I don't see why you think that one shouldn't be able to shout 'fire' in a crowded theater, and be prosecuted accordingly for inciting a riot and damage to the property if such were the case (but not for the speech itself).

The problem with your position, is since we aren't dealing with 'what did happen' but with 'what could have happened' it becomes an ambiguous and potentially abusive provision - highly subjective to personal biases.
I think because everything is immutable and because lexical scoping I can't figure how this would happen other than a direct cycle which I think the reference counting might be able to figure out.

You don't use it to open a single file for editing, though. Think of it as a lightweight IDE. Use it to open you folder project, which I do once every few days or even per weekly reboot. Once it's up and running - which takes about 5 seconds for my project folder to open on a MBAir - its plenty snappy for editing code.

For one-off file edits, like my .bash_profile, nginx conf etc., I still use a terminal-based editor, which is what I'd use on a remote machine anyway.

> Why were all the "protests" over within a month? Why don't they continue to this day?

I think the attention span for those things is rather limited. You can't cry "Outrage!!1!" every day over the same thing again and again and still mobilize people for your cause. This seems to be a rather common phenomenon regardless of the group or cause you support.

Also, to organize such a protest, you need people with time and resources to reach out. I assume, that at some point, these people deicide, that it makes more sense to steer resources into other projects.
> shared memory lets you share data structures between processes

In theory maybe. In practice data structures contain pointers, which you can't just shove into cross-process shared memory. Which in turn results in copying things and serialization/deserialization overhead when doing IPC.

With multi-threading you can just share regular data structures (think std::map) and put them under locks or copy-on-write logic if they need to be modified.

Of course you can share some large blobs, like pixel data or loaded files. But the major data churn consisting of many small, nested data structures involves copying and (de)serializing.

There are emergency parachutes made for pilots that are intended to be used with essentially no training. They do see some use, and they work. They are not the same as a typical skydiving parachute, they're made to be more forgiving. You may still be injured on landing, but you'll be a lot less injured than if you jumped without it.
Nice! I had a very similar idea, which I made a small prototype for in a HCI course (click on the logo to get test data): http://humbit.com/longcal/

The vision I had was a horizontal rather than vertical timeline and discrete rather than continuous zooming (though I thought a lot about implementing continuous scrolling). Yours might be the better way to do it, at least for mobile.

In any case, I think existing calendar apps fall short. There's no support for planning anything that extends out of the current month. The absolute worst is when you're in the last week of the month and you don't even see things coming up in the next few days. Someone has a birthday and you don't even see it until it's too late. And what about planning things (trips, 30 day challenges, contracts) that last weeks or months?

I even think that the shorter perspective affects our ability to do long term thinking.
Costly: yes.

Why not use another language? I think it's a perfectly valid question for that guy to ask.

My personal opinion on "Why not use another language" is a bit different though:

Adopting a different language might make sense – not necessarily for technical reasons but for cultural. The technical issues could have been addressed in time, and the language would be in a much better situation today.

The fact that the technical issues have not been addressed for such a long time shows a clear lack of leadership and focus. I think these cultural issues are a bigger problem than the technical issues. You can fix code, but you can't fix people.
> Conciousness is the process of simulating reality

I don't care for the word simulate because it implies our minds attempt to faithfully model the physical world (which isn't to say we don't in some cases). I think if you're going to make this argument, it might be better to call it the process of inference (using a particular and individual model) about the physical world.

A citizens-only BI is just an example to maximize the difference to the current rejected proposal and setup a spectrum of possible implementations. There'd be probably some reasonable solution in the middle, where after working and paying taxes for n years makes you eligible for an BI.

Actually, I'd be in favor of a pragmatic vesting form, where the BI-payout is not binary, but you'd become eligible for a bigger share gradually over time, not just for non Swiss nationals, but especially for Swiss nationals. So that we youngsters won't just get a big payday, but it could be tied to a vesting scheme connected with your total taxes ever payed. Meaning, after taking on some small jobs and earning money the hard way first, even young (Swiss) people would have to 'earn' their BI.

We're fine with free speech as long as it doesn't threaten the status quo.

As soon as you get - e.g. - Snowden or Manning, the speech suddenly stops being free (of consequences) even though it's in the public interest.

We're certainly not fine with free politics. Politics currently is still stuck in a medieval mode where it's entirely about about profit and power, not representation.

The establishment in most countries will fight to the death to keep it that way.
