The question is what is your platform? Does it require running your own server in your bedroom, hiring a virtual machine, or maybe even anything like hosted WordPress counts as yours, because you pay for it directly? And you know even if you run your own bedroom server - even then you still rely on some companies, be it your internet provider or even electricity provider, and theoretically you can be switched off if you offend them enough. This is a complex world.
nothing, but that sentence is not the topic of the article.
Delete and forget it existed. Ignore and move on. Give up the benefits and pay the cost. Do you really want to live your days feeling dependent on this sort of "service"? Do you really want to say, "but I need Facebook!".

In today's age, you need a phone number and e-mail. It's ok - they are decentralized. Don't let a centralized platform of Facebook's evil nature become necessary for you to live your life.

Differential privacy appears regularly on Hacker News, with either theoretical articles or projects that aim to implement it. Yet often there is a huge gap between both.

For example, Apple has touted about its use of differential privacy, but researchers [1] have shown that the privacy budget is reset every day and the parameters, buried inside the code, lack a proper derivation. Similarly, Uber seems to use DP for internal analytics. However, the proposed model does not seem really robust and does not provide accurate results at all [2]. One should always carefully review claims associated with implementations of differential privacy.

NVMe and networking are now used from use space to reduce latency in storage systems. I'm doing that in my current job. There are libraries to help you with it such as DPDK and SPDK which are good starting points.
Is there a practical limit for gh-pages though? I think you get flagged for manual review if you're high traffic; but as long as you're serving content I don't know of anyone being taken down (and I have heard about some great lengths gone to to keep things up).

And you can put a CDN in front of gh-pages too! I have done that with cloudflare a couple of times for relatives that want to run a static site and super low cost.
Netlify does all this for free IIRC.

Thanks for bringing this up. ISPs are huge dick-heads, and they track the shit out of their users, including censoring some content themselves.

What are some ways to prevent all the tracking? I get HTTPS makes things better in terms of confidentiality, but it does nothing to prevent the ISPs from scraping the URLs, which exposes scary amount of information, too.
There's no evidence that tech is stagnating but quite a lot that the pace is accelerating, perhaps geometrically. There are two reasons-- one is the integration of many more people into the western/global structure of scientific and material progress (particularly in Asia and South Asia) and the second is the complementary impact of advances across multiple fields. Consider for example, the enormous impact of internet communications tech on medical research.

The Wright brothers, working in a bicycle shop, invented fixed wing flight in 1903 and it took less than 100 years for western civilization to develop jumbo jets and space planes.

There is a point for the vast majority of people who are unlikely to be censored. Don’t be a fatalist.
I think that the whole point about this Cambridge Analytica and Facebook scandal is not that Facebook collects all sorts of data, but that Facebook shares that data to third party services via "Login With Facebook" without any previous consent of users. The privacy settings of your Facebook account lose their purpose when Facebook creates an advertising profile (which may or may not be very accurate) which all said third party services may use to fuel their own advertising strategies. The contents of said ad profiles include your interests which also may reflect your ethnic background, sexual preferences, political views, et cetera. All of which CA (mis)used for analytics. But, (I checked today) users are able to disconnect ad profile sharing or delete some data. So, there is no scandal here, yet I didn't know until today that such settings even existed. So, it is convenient for Facebook to say that users usually have full control over their data.

That Facebook now feels betrayed by CA because such data (generally available to service providers) has been used inappropriately shows either that they were complicit by enabling CA to do so and knew about it all along, or they didn't know what they were doing at all. I'm not sure which is worse. If a third party says "trust me, I'll handle all the data responsibly" doesn't mean anything, because there is no oversight whatsoever. Additional clauses in contracts do not make Facebook a victim of contract breach. The product in itself is flawed, because it handles the data irresponsibly.
Also: this clowns are scary thing seems to be US exclusive? Please correct me if I am wrong.

Claiming that other people are ignorant doesn't justify your own ignorant argument. The only things you have showed here is that you thinks all liberals are the same and that they must be acting irrational. Which is exactly what you accuse all of them of doing, something far more implausible since they are a large group of people.

That of course doesn't conclude that liberals or what you prescribe to liberals is correct. But there were still significant differences between the reelection of Obama, a sitting president who won with a lesser margin than expected and Trump, an outsider not only to politics but the republican party, who won by a slim margin targeting certain fringe issues and key states.
This kind of anti-nuance approach is problematic for two reasons. For one, it serves the propagandistic purpose of sheltering China from criticism by falsely equating them to the US. For another, if you're constantly equivocating between completely different scales of moral error, you're not going to understand when one set of practices is better than another and you're not going to be able grasp what moral progress looks in a complicated world.

What does "your own platform" mean? Without relying on things like Tor, I don't believe it's possible to publish anything without relying on some large corporation who can pull your content with a day's notice. If not Medium, it'll be AWS or Google Cloud or your domain registrar. Anyone who cares about an open web should be, at minimum, calling out those who take down content on short notice without reason.

I bet I could delete them all right now and it would be next Thanksgiving before they noticed.

The one I removed a ways back that really irked me was a poor man's backup circuit: Equipment room had two electrical circuits. A consumer grade desk UPS was plugged into one, and a homemade male to male power cord went from the output of the UPS to a wall outlet for the other circuit. So if the power went out, the UPS started feeding power into the other circuit.
Yeah the other building was a small one story office that was a at a lower elevation. The main building was a converted strip mall so it had a bit more height with the extra space from the drop ceilings.

Have you tried Google’s “Verbatim” mode? It’s listed under search tools and claims to do exactly this, iirc.

I recently tried a number of Linux distros to get specific GNU tooling for an embedded project I'm working on. (My daily driver is OpenBSD.) The Void philosophy is very appealing to me compared to most other Linux distros. I tried both Void with glibc and with musl. Both of them would install ok but then immediately panic on rebooting, and I didn't spend the time and effort to get past that to find out whether it would be stable once I got it running.
For years and years, the X server was effectively a userspace device driver. It would map the configuration registers and the framebuffer and do everything outside the kernel. And it worked fine, for the most part.

Once GPUs arrived, the ability to do latency-critical management of the device state became important and the register management moved into the kernel. But for traditional framebuffers the device setup was for the most part done once, and there's no particular need for that to be managed outside userspace.
This isn’t even top 20 in this thread, but here’s mine: maybe 17 years ago, we upgraded our department server from a big old Sun 4/690 running sunos to a shiny new Ultra80 running Solaris.

Among the many functions this server has was to host a bunch of black and white x terminals. Probably only a few people here ever used those (although more than most other online forums!), but basically the idea is that they plug into the network, at power on they tftp down the image for the x server, they boot and allow you to run x client apps on the server, an 80s thin client implementation. So we upgrade the server and things are working pretty well, especially for such a major upgrade.

My boss/mentor at the time is truly brilliant, so we really had most everything thought of. The only thing that was off was that all of a sudden the xterms all stopped booting. We couldn't figure it out. Network sniffers didn't show anything useful--we were just baffled.

On a whim, we decided to take the tftp server out of inetd control and truss it (Solaris equivalent of strace). The first time? Worked perfectly--our test xterm booted just fine. Eventually we figured out that the new server was so fast that the speed of the tftp transfer was triggering a problem on the Ethernet card firmware of the xterms and by using truss, it slowed down the transfer and bypassed the bug.

Solution: In inetd.conf, we just spawned in.tftpd with "truss -o /dev/null". Never saw the issue again.

It depends on what you mean by "most". While it is true that Google, Amazon, Baidu, et al. have a DNN-based implementation, most open source ASR systems (eg.

There is a fair argument that Google has market power in e.g. search advertising. If you want to buy search advertising from somebody else, good luck ever reaching as many people.

The idea that they have a monopoly in email or video hosting is ridiculous. They have a thousand competitors and it's easy for customers to switch.

They still have a huge slice of those markets for the same reason Microsoft used to have a huge slice of the browser market -- they're the default on the most popular OS (once Windows, now Android). But Mozilla et al took a huge chunk out of Microsoft's browser share after customers got sick of all of Microsoft's anti-user behavior.

Because people will stay with the defaults unless they have a reason to switch. But if you do give them a reason, like banning legitimate content they want to view and create, that's another story.

And the more people switch, the better the alternatives get and the easier it is for more people to join them.

I remember hating the orange patches that came once pollution kicked in while playing Civ3. My younger self would get really, truly pissed at the fact that I, apparently, had failed to have enough foresight as to not damage my precariously acquired land.

Oh, and the orange patches, the god damned orange patches. This thread brought back some really funny memories. It's almost as if I can still feel my frustration at that time.

For those wondering what the orange patches looked like in an older version:

If I remember correctly they started to turn deserted if overused like the yellow patches here:

https://www.civfanatics.com/images/civ3/industrialagesnumber...

And of course a quick search had me in laughter for a while:

"An option to turn off the %$!&! pollution"

"This has been mentioned before, but I'm bringing it up again anyway. In Civ2 the interface worked much quicker, and the city worker wasn't taken off the tile. Dump some engineers on it and bam! - problem solved. In Civ3 it goes something like this: spend a bunch of time hunting down some free workers on the slower map screen. Figure out how many it takes to clean up the square, move them there, and order them one by one to clean it up. Then, open your city screen. Put the laborer back on the tile (unless another city has taken over the tile at the start of the next turn - then it gets even more complicated). If you're using your workers on automatic (clean up pollution only) you still have to look at every city every turn, and if you have alot of pollution that turn, they may not clean it up in the order you like, causing the loss of shields, perhaps even delaying the production of something important for a turn. This is why I always have some free workers to pile on by hand anyway, even though it takes longer."

And finally, a future techy enters the stage:

"I agree that it becomes tiresome to chase pollution.

Edited my game so that pollution takes less workers to clean up. :mischief:"
