What if the persons operating the site are unknown or living in a country where what they are doing is not illegal? I don't support outright blocks or the specifics of this new legislation, but I think there are cases where the distribution channel is the right point to intervene; e.g. by displaying an interstitial "This site has been found to be a scam, don't give them your money. Do you want to continue anyway?".
>the whole Gawker vs. Hulk Hogan trial thing, which was one of the biggest attacks on freedom of the press in recent history

What a disingenuous load of nonsense.

If you film people having sex with their permission, then you are a pornographer and subject to certain restrictions as to how you may publish your works.

If you film people having sex WITHOUT their permission or knowledge and post the videos online then you are a criminal and, in a just world, a benefactor would come to the aid of your victims and finance whatever legal proceedings necessary to drive your operation out of business.

Crying "freedom of the press" to defend sex criminals is absolutely reprehensible, as was Gawker's behavior both in this case and its repeated outing of homosexuals.

Looks good so far! I agree with the previous comment, it would be best to include samples of your work, along with a brief introduction, the tech stack used, and links to the code if possible. If you have an online resume, it can't hurt to attach that also. Some clients will like to see not only the finished results of your experience but described more formally as well.

I like your introductory statement, but its not clear how clients should address you. This is an easy fix. For example: Reach out to (Kamran) at..... This adds a bit more personality to your page.

If you don't need the portability of a laptop and want a similar package to the Dell XPS for a lot less money: an Intel NUC might be an idea.

I've been using one for almost a year after my XPS 13 9343 got stolen. Dell's significant price increase on the newer models made me try out the NUC and it's been great so far.

If you stick to these 'mainstream' components (the XPS and NUC have very similar hardware), Linux support really isn't an issue. "It just works".
Nah I think there are some effects in the visible range. You probably have some kind of accretion disk that gets shaken up by the merger, there might also be some effects due to Hawking radiation

But they're probably only visible from close range (like the 1AU mentioned above) and are too faint to be seen from 1Bi light years like the event that they captured

If Thiel sued over Gawker's outing of Thiel being gay, that would be okay. If Hogan sued and won on his own, that would also be okay.

What's not okay is using one's own immense wealth to fund litigation against a media outlet you do not like over issues unrelated to the reason you dislike them. There's no question this tips the balance of power.
Agreed, but the main goal of the average researcher is getting the paper published. The code is a byproduct and probably written not too well (they are pro of another profession) and maybe they don't know how to properly distribute it. Furthermore their publishing channel is made for paper / PDF, not source code.

In this case the author is DeepMind/Google, so they know how to code and how to distribute it.

However we need not only the code but also the network. Leela Zero is code but more importantly an effort to spread the effort of training the network among many people. Each one volunteers some hw (CPU/GPU) and contributes a part of the training runs. The README states that the estimated training duration on commodity hardware would be 1,700 years. We're not that patient :-)

Hi! You can check out the Product Hunt global hackathon and promote it in the same places.
Another major difference is the concentration of power. EFF and ACLU are supported by thousands of volunteers and donors and must be accountable to them. Thiel is one person. The ability for an organization to attack a media company is significantly less of a threat than the ability of a single person to attack them.
Not necessarily black and white, sure, but there is a threshold defined as the net personal/social benefit of the thing. If this is net positive, there's not enough reason to ban it. If there is net negative, there are reasons to ban it.

Further, the ban/not ban dichotomy is also fuzzier in practice. We can restrict access according to attributes of people, or restrict consumption to private settings, or otherwise. These decisions must be informed by the net benefit.
If you compile the data inside the program it's probably GPLed too and must be made public as soon as the program is distributed. Workarounds: the data go inside an external library or are downloaded from a service. Then you're right to worry: the real algorithm would be secret.
I was responding to "keeping it backward-compatible", which it did not do. In any case, Python 3 is not exactly a brand new language, many codebases can be adjusted to run on both engines without much effort. I don't think the difference is as stark as you've painted it.

That's not really relevant when talking about the linux kernel, though, is it ? There's tons and tons of open-source code that could just run clang-analyze today and eliminate swathes of memory bugs.
This is why lots of large companies are happy to open-source internal code, no? Because ultimately it's data which is valuable, not the algorithms.
This is both hilarious and enlightening.

> But I don't really see what the big game changer is whether a laptop comes preinstalled with Ubuntu or if I do it myself.

A laptop sold with Ubuntu means that you don't have to pay for Windows (>100€). So it's cheaper.
Furthermore, you have guarantees that linux support will be better than average.
I don't know what jorgemf is referring to but I own the same laptop. It's bad at switching between the intel and nvidia GPUs, most notably in Chrome it even causes lockups. Pretty sad they haven't resolved it yet, out of the box Chrome is now locked down to Intel on Win10.
You can't stand up for anything if you don't survive in the marketplace. Mozilla needs a revenue stream. I donated last month. When was the last time that you did?

Not trying to shame you, but developers need to put food on the table and there's nothing wrong with finding a reliable revenue source.

I'm very privacy aware, I don't publish pictures of my son on Facebook, the minimum I tolerate for serious chats is WhatsApp due to having E2E encryption and wishing for Signal or better, I disabled location tracking and ads personalization in Google, I encrypt my backups, I keep my passwords in 1Password, I have a sticker on my laptop's camera, I vote and publicly argue against privacy invading laws.

However DuckDuckGo and Bing are simply unusable for me — it is true that in many cases in order to get the results that you want, you simply have to modify your query, however I discovered that many times it doesn't work. The situation is improving, they keep patching local searches to be barely usable and if you're not feeling pain when doing local searches, then you're probably not living in Europe. But besides local searches, the software development related searches are poor as well.

Not trying to disregard the fine work that DuckDuckGo is doing, I'm glad that it exists, but I could not tolerate it for more than a week, every time I tried, including only a month ago.

Mozilla switching to Yahoo was actually shooting themselves in the foot, because as a matter of fact people want to use Google's search engine because it is superior to everything else.

Firefox is also the best browser if you want to use multiple search engines at the same time. On mobile as well. It's just a freaking default, you can always change it.
I am trying to build an online coding school for kids ages 6-13. I mostly agree with what's being stated because we already have customers in China, Korea, and Japan despite doing no marketing there. They are hard markets to ignore, especially when US parents are a harder sell. In order for us to be successful in the long-term, we must be a cross-border company.

Coding is one of the things that parents are increasingly willing to pay for, but it is still in the process of becoming a middle-class family demand.

You'd need to find some task that is expensive to compute, but trivial to verify to "port" current PoW methods, but the hard part is finding a task that fills this condition and is useful to actually compute.

In any case, you'd still be running a competition between nodes for fastest/best solution, with lots of duplicated effort and consumed resources. That is the key part of crypto consensus afaiu, and regardless of "backend task", there's always going to be waste in this architecture.

> Free speech is only an unalienable right, in the US, from the government.

You’re confusing the concept of Free Speech and the law codified in the First Amendment rights. Free Speech as a concept is (by necessity) much broader (both as defined in the declaration of human rights, and as envisaged by the thinkers who originally proposed it). It doesn’t mean “there’s no accountability whatsoever” but it does mean that there’s an active duty to uphold individuals’ rights to articulate themselves. Unfortunately this confusion is extremely common — even the Wikipedia article restricts it to government intervention in the opening paragraph (but then broadens it).
When I was younger I thought that school was everything and could not imagine doing something more than that. I was sure I just did not have enough time. Then I began my studies and assumed it was everything, but after a while the first job appeared and it turned out that it was possible for me to bring these two together. And now? Now I ride my bike every day, teach English in the evenings, do a renovation of my flat, work full-time at Bright Inventions (just finished postgraudate studies and still have time to call my mum every afternoon and meet friends). A few years ago this kind of scenario was hard to imagine.

Citation needed?

Anecdotally, I've developed large projects in C++ and Java (I know, they're pretty lame static type systems -- but certainly the most popular static type systems) and also in Python and Clojure and I really haven't seen much benefit in static typing in regards to software defect rate or quality. Static typing make auto complete and refactoring tools easier, for sure, but it also slows down ease of experimentation (and writing generic code can be painful, although other static languages especially type inferred ones fare better here). I buy into Rich Hickeys view on this topic[1] and that's one reason why I like Clojure: it gets out of the way, but it provides me with the tools I need to verify or validate my data (eg on the module or application boundaries).

I've played around with languages that have fancier type systems (Haskell, various ML's, briefly ATS) and am very interested in Rust (but have yet to use it), but they haven't really provided enough benefits for the effort of describing the types.

Note that I used to be very heavily in the static typing camp and I still very much like the idea of static typing, I just don't think we have found a static type system yet that has the right balance of convenience and safety and actually catches the right kinds of errors (as described in the below talk).

I guess my point is that its not quite clear that the next generation of successful languages will all be statically typed. In fact, current trends would suggest otherwise (most of the popular languages are dynamically typed) although perhaps that depends on your definition of "successful".

But there is data of how many refugees entered Sweden in the 90s, it was roughly a hundred thousand a year then just like in the recent years. Did you read any of the links SiemperVernes linked to? You also say that you don't believe refugees could cut the line to public housing, did you check at all to find out if that was the case? Did you also cross check with SCB to find out how many new houses were built, since that statistics stretches well past the Million program more than 50 years ago? It even stretches back before WWII.

Or is your personal belief based on your gut feeling?

And, when you say that "they correlate well", what time period are you then looking at? And what data? Because immigration decreased in the mid 2000s while the housing prices increased. No offense, but it looks like your analytical method is "there's lots of newspaper articles about refugees these days, and lots of newspaper articles about rising housing prices, one of them must the main cause of the other". I might as well say "there's lots of articles about smartphones lately while the housing prices are increasing, maybe smartphones lets us live alone more effectively meaning that we take up more space when everyone gets their own apartment instead of a room mate".
