Eliminating the Section 230 would incur additional barriers to entry for small companies, as they would have to spend more resources to police their platforms, while also opening themselves up to expensive legal battles before their platforms even take off. While the tech giants have plenty of legal, financial and engineering resources to take on the challenges posed by eliminating Section 230.

What you're proposing would actually give the tech giants even more power.

Synapse is not designed for people who want this use-case. It's primarily designed for seedbox users who want a daemon to control remotely. It's also designed to efficiently work at scale, and takes advantage of native features like mmap to download quickly.

Also, it wasn't rewritten in Rust from some other language, it was written in Rust in the first place.
You can have entirely responsive desktop system. Hard RTOS would certainly be harder to achieve, but not sure Rust has much to show there so far either.
> I wouldn't expect it take longer than 30 minutes

It doesn't matter what you expect, you cannot possibly predict the specific circumstances from region to region that could require someone to spend any length of time working on arrangements or traveling. What if you live outside of a city and have to spend 30 minutes driving alone?

> risk is largely removed by meeting in public

Demonstrably untrue. Meeting in public is obviously the absolute minimum precaution necessary when performing any kind of physical exchange, coming armed is even better, but that still doesn't stop people from being mugged in broad daylight. Even if we accept the "largely removed" risk of getting mugged, the reality is that most technologies pose 0 risk of mugging in practical use. There are also many other security risks, especially if you make a large transaction (e.g. you could be followed back to your home).

> If it were as bad as you say, people would not be using it.

Well, most people don't use it, otherwise the prices wouldn't be so high relative to online exchanges. LBC seriously sucks.

Account wise, merchant fees are an expense taken out of revenue, not out of profit. The fee is a cost on goods sold. Merchants care because by contract it causes them to inflate the price of all products, they're disallowed from explicitly showing the customer the fee as a line item, even though it has the same effect on price as a tax.

Most merchants would prefer the buyer have more information about why something costs what it does. Ergo the cash and debit card buyer would have no such fee on their receipt; someone with an ordinary credit card might have a 3% fee, and someone with a high kickback card might have a 5% fee. Rather than permitting freeloaders.

None of this is relevant to whether Twitter want to be complicit in publishing this speech which they are under no obligation to do.

Edit: I'm also wondering why the great examples of free speech that people reach for are always racism. It's not really surprising that racism is allowed in a country founded on racism. It might be more interesting to look at what has actually been banned in American free speech law over the years.

Seems like six of one, half dozen of the other. The merchants are the ones directly paying the transaction fee, but merchants only provide services to consumers in the for-profit sector so long as they can make a profit. As a bit of an extreme to clearly demonstrate the principle, if a business is operating at a 3% profit margin on revenue before processing fees, and credit card providers demand a flat 3% + $0.30 fee per transaction, then the business becomes unprofitable, and loses $0.30 per transaction. Only one of three things can happen here. 1. The business eventually shuts down. 2. The business raises its prices. 3. The business cuts costs (lowers quality of product on average? Unless can take advantage of non-harmful cost-saving mechanisms, like informing consumers of cheaper transaction payment options, offering incentives for such, etc. which is what is being restricted anti-competitively). All three of these responses directly harm consumers. Case closed?
For a game I once did something very similar in Lua for protecting values in memory that cheaters might like to change.
If you use an encoder to adjust your position, then you are a servo; you probably won't use a stepper motor because the main advantage to a stepper motor is that you don't need position feedback to estimate the position accurately, but a stepper motor with feedback is just as much a servomechanism as any other motor with negative feedback.

[edit]

Wikipedia tells me that there are some mechanisms that use stepper motors that run mostly open-loop with an encoder only for detecting stepper-miss. Whether or not this qualifies as a servo-mechanism is up for debate.

In any event, I seriously doubt that a sub $200 plotter is doing this, as the encoder adds to the BOM.
When people make vector embeddings for words, it's fairly common that the embedding for one language is just a rotation of the embedding for the synonym in another language. So I think the higher level (and lower dimensional) representations of thoughts could be pretty consistent across native languages. Even though you might perceive your thoughts to be formulated in your native language, your brain almost certainly generates that representation from another, which is probably more universal. That means we could exchange these universal representations of thoughts and our own brains would do the "translation" as necessary.

Alice and Bob are negotiating an employment agreement. Alice belongs to an organization and gets agreement from her fellows on how much she should offer, and also that none of them will undercut her and try to make a separate agreement with Bob on different terms. Bob goes it alone.

When Alice is a hiring manager and her organization is a company, we call this “how hiring is done thousands of times every day in this country.” When Alice is a worker and her organization is a union, you call it “price fixing” and “colluding.” Why the difference?
That Reason interview SLPC links makes her look effing bonkers. ‘Extreme anti-Muslim’ is exactly how I’d characterize her views.

I am bilingual. I personally do not dream in a specific language. When I wake up, I'll remember scenes, people, feelings and actions. Sometimes there are dialogues in French, but it's rare.

As for thoughts, I often think in French or English, but for a lot of thoughts, no language is involved. For example, I do not think "I must pay my electricity bill" or "I should do some laundry today".

The difference IMO is that the interface is still a nominal declaration. With it you have a named type, while the alias is purely structural. in TS/Flow I prefer to use the type alias ubiquitously, however in other typed languages I prefer being more nominal. In Purescript, which supports both methods also, I almost always fully declare the type.

> I think the rationale here is that a working, productive mastery of C suggests a developer of a certain caliber.

Possibly, but that's still pretty silly. Like...I am a cautious programmer by nature. I can write C. I understand the language and its semantics at a fairly intuitive level. I am still cognizant that a moment's inattention means that I am going to screw up in ways that I literally can't with a language that has a scope guard (to say nothing of typing that isn't based on how wide the data structure is, that sort of thing). Not using a language more featureful than C--even to the point of literally banning every feature from the language that isn't a nonvirtual dtor--doesn't "keep the noobs out". It does, however, create classes of bugs. If anything, a "noob" is less likely to realize the danger they're in when fearlessly[0] writing code!

Recognition of my own limits is most of why I don't write C, and if I absolutely must interop with C (passing through to Ruby or whatever) I write the thinnest, dumbest layer I can between it and C++. (These days, I'm trying to go towards Rust for these tasks, but I know C++ much better.) C just does not make you the hard man that many C devotees think it does, that's all.

[0] - This is mostly a compliment and only a little tongue-in-cheek. Novices being willing to write code that I have to think about analytically to feel safe when writing it can, in the general case, often work well enough/long enough to get by.
Perhaps someone at Snopes was seeing if they had the power to get a site flagged by Facebook, even for clear satire. Not so much 'artificial stupidity' again, but 'gaming artificial stupidity for fun and profit'.
One of the Wing Commander developers visited our computer science class at Rice in the year 2000 and I'll never forget him mentioning how 80-hour weeks became common leading up to a release and they even hit 100 hours for a couple of weeks and he had to be hospitalized temporarily. I know the long hours are common in many game studios but I wonder how many get that bad.

"Bootloader

The kernel(7) is a multiboot compatible binary that can be loaded by any multiboot specification compatible bootloader such as GRUB. You need to use such a bootloader to boot the operating system. You will be offered the choice of installing GRUB as the bootloader."

Allowing the user to choose their own bootloader makes this particular small project a rare find, IMO.

I use another multiboot specification compatible bootloader that I prefer over grub.

I also like how he offers both 32 and 64bit.

I guess this project has been posted to HN before. Perhaps at that time it still did not yet have networking.

NULL is the absence of a value. It has no meaning in algebra. You cannot do anything mathematically with a NULL value so it always results in a NULL output regardless of the operator. If you do use the numeric functions, then it will attempt to convert to a number (0) first. Where is the inconsistency?

It seems you want the database to automatically assume 0 for NULL when they are distinctly separate meanings and it would be far more confusing if that were so.

Yes being white and rich is better than being black and rich, the point is about where benefit is coming from. The idea is that being white and rich is better than being black and rich but being black and rich is much better than being white and poor.

> The appeal for me is the ability to understand one of the least changed old European languages, much akin to our Old English.

From what I understand, written Icelandic is mutually intelligible with Old Norse, so if you learned Icelandic you could actually read the sagas. The pronunciation has diverged enough that the spoken languages aren't mutually intelligible, but nobody really speaks Old Norse anymore so it doesn't matter.

I guess it's kinda like the relationship between Middle English and Modern English. The written forms are similar enough that Chaucer is usually presented in the original Middle English alongside a gloss for whatever words have disappeared from the language since.

I'm not well-read enough to speak on her behalf, and would hope that the quotes SPLC references are accurate. In interviews I've heard with her, she definitely comes across as strident, and more so than I would prefer, but not uncritically anti-muslim in a bigoted sense, and wouldn't put her in the same category as Richard Spencer, for example. That's one of the problems with lists like these: people will look at the names and not necessarily dig into why each is included. It's to the SPLC's credit that they include supporting material.

As for her changing her stance, the Wikipedia article references a Max Rodenbeck article from the New York Review of Books in 2015 that she has "mellowed".

If this is something you're interested in, I encourage you to look into this deeper yourself, if only because I don't think I can do full justice to the issue. Stuff like this is complicated, and one needs to weigh one's own values and their rankings as a whole, rather than as a single issue, which often gets missed in a lot of discourse today.

And to reiterate, I agree with you that the SPLC has historically been a force for good for the reasons you mention.
On the links page he links to his friends websites, one of them is a (now obviously gone) geocities page.
>> Could the investment cuts actually be efficient? Perhaps stock price concerns are motivating, because they induce the CEO to make tough decisions, such as cutting wasteful investment. If so, we would expect the CEO to improve efficiency in other ways as well, such as increasing sales growth or cutting other expenses. And we find no evidence of that.

I imagine looking for ways to increase sales growth and cut costs is something a good CEO does on a regular basis, so maybe there's not much low hanging fruit in that respect. I honestly don't see an issue with the explanation that CEOs are simply more motivated to cut wasteful investment prior to their equity vesting.

What Happened to the Great Urban Design Projects? (2016)
Resources for Survivors of Sexual Assault and Violence
I am interested in your comments and feedback on this project that I am developing; Sexual assault and harassment are persistent forms of violence against women that are the only violent crimes that are not declining.

Our mission is to empower sexual assault victims with the tools and resources that will help make a positive and lasting impact so they can reclaim their lives. This is the driving force behind our efforts to provide the resources and technology to support and manage sexual assault survivors’ mental, physical and social wellness.

The objective is to design and build an online portal integrated with a mobile app with personalized telemedicine resources that will give sexual assault survivors access to healthcare providers and symptom management tools to manage the short and long-term effects of sexual trauma when and where they need it in a secure, discreet and confidential way.

The app will be invaluable to a survivor's recovery, it will give victims the ability to carry in their pocket a resource with the tools that can help them when they begin to feel anxious, experience flashbacks –

Please let me know if you are interested in joining our team.
Thanks Stewart

I consult for a $23 million company that does millions in dropshipping. The margins are slim because it’s an easy business to get into. Currently Amazon fees eat up 30% off the top. It’s brutal.

A one-person shop can sometimes win for a short time by betting on a new product, but once it gets a few dozen reviews on Amazon other people who know how to type Alibaba.com will inevitably take over. And of course the Alibaba vendors themselves aren’t stupid and are now becoming retailers.
