“A platform's identity and ability to attract an audience are determined by the activities they accept / cultivate, not vice versa.”

I think this is a really good point, but it’s precisely why platforms that are content neutral are optimal for creative and productive exchange of ideas.

Reality is a platform. The universe allows all us atoms to zip around. If it consciously tried to optimize based on shifting morals then it would not work well.

In a little while, we’ll be digital and “deplatforming” will be a form of death sentence. So, I’d like to get used to letting fringe people be fringe and having the authorities get involved when laws are broken.

It’s not about “owing you an audience” it’s about equal access to basic infrastructure needed for a free society to interact. This is sort of net neutrality related as our comms need to function like title I carriers in the US where they just provide dumb infrastructure. The last thing I want is to have to pick my DNS server based on political ideology. Does the future get to the point where there’s a “No Nazi GPL?”

The way to fix people to stop being nazis/isis is not to make their blog stop working, but to engage and surround them with empathy. And then maybe their kids will be ok. There’s a lot of 100 year old wars out there where people escalate without resolution.
Many things are created with out them being 'investments.' The builder just needs to be able to sell the home for more than the cost of labor, material, and land. The owner buys it as a place to live and not as an investment.

Much like a car - many things are expensive and not expected to go up in value.
Would it be negative? Why do I care whose DNS records are also hosted there?
TikTok there is 2 versions the chinese version is not available in Playstore. i had to download the apk from their website
No, it's crazy. In that case, ideas aren't being judged as ideas. It's the same sort of "technically not" dishonesty that Noam Chomsky called out in Manufacturing Consent. Western media did indeed cover events not favorable to the US/Nato side. But it was covered in back pages, in the plainest language. Technically, it's not censorship in the same way as Pravda airbrushed people out of photos was censorship. However, it had pretty much the same effect.

I thought the media distortion was bad in the 80's/90's. Now I realize I didn't realize how much worse it could get.
Microsoft will make major updates to ASP.NET Core, including integration of projects and frameworks, tighter integration with .NET Core, and integration with third-party open source kits, these improvements will help developers complete development work faster

The way the project is referenced and run on ASP.NET Core changes as the version’s iteration changes. In 1.0, ASP.NET Core itself is a “package” and appears in the project just like any other NuGet package reference. This has its advantages and disadvantages. Over time, this model has evolved. In 2.1, ASP.NET Core eventually evolved into a “shared framework” for .NET Core.

The supply of land is fixed but it's not full yet, and filling it up with single-story buildings is a practice that can certainly be improved upon.

The obstacle to building new housing is not the availability of land, it is the zoning laws. Even a geographically constrained place like San Francisco, surrounded by water on three sides, could accommodate far more housing units simply by building taller structures.
And yet such impressions conflict with how power supply circuits work and how THD measurement works. Wall power is incredibly noisy and there’s nothing much an electrician can do to change that. If this noise had any meaningful effect on the sound—it doesn’t—you would be able to measure it as a variance in THD.

(Now of course that might be less true for some poorly made vinyl/phono level equipment but if you actually cared about audible distortions you wouldn't be listening to the sound of a needle scratching its way across a fragile plastic groove in the first place...)
> Otherwise, even if you build up to get more dense ala NYC, HK, Tokyo, or Shanghai, the area will just become more attractive and more people will want to live there.

The problem with this theory is that it's zero sum. If density attracts people and prices there rise, those people will have come from some other place. Then the prices in that place will fall and we still serve the goal of giving people an affordable place to live.

You can't increase demand in every place at the same time. It has to come from somewhere. And if you increase density everywhere at once, it also can't move from everywhere to everywhere. If one city increases density it attracts new people from other cities. If every city does it there is no net migration because the benefits accrue everywhere, so the demand in each place stays the same and the greater supply lowers prices.
Good tip! We saw the line at the louve and noped right out of there. Paris has a lot more to offer than waiting in a crowd to see a small painting.

Truly, truly; pathetic. Several dozen people at least knew better and instead of fixing it, tried to bury the guy who raised the alarm.

The IG had this information and didn’t act. Completely mind-blowing. Dozens of agents/assets killed. An entire class exploded.

Truly, a national embarassment and of course no one is going to jail.
I don't remember licensing being an issue in 2002, when I first started seriously experimenting with desktop Linux. Qt being dual-licensed under GPL was generally seen as good enough, since it meant that KDE could fork it if they needed to. There were several major distros running KDE 3.x out of the box - notably, SuSE and Mandrake.

I think Ubuntu went with Gnome because back then it was perceived as the less configurable and flashy, but also less confusing of the two. KDE 3 was for those who wanted to configure everything - the "power user" crowd. Gnome 2 was more spartan (and became more so over time - I remember the outcry when they replaced the path textbox with breadcrumbs!), but mostly "just worked" in ways that people coming from Windows or OS X could readily understand. And Ubuntu was supposed to be the Linux distro for casual users...

We do have that, via inflation.
There are also reasonable, nonviolent, left-leaning centrists who think everyone should have Free Speech, because no one can parcel out Free Speech and have it still remain free. The people who spout the nonsense you cite are a marginal fringe. They're probably greatly outnumbered by people in the far fringe left who are just somewhat not quite as bad. All should have the right of Free Speech.

Exactly, end users do not care but people making their purchasing decisions might.
If X is adjusted for inflation then the quality can stay the same as long as the supply/demand curve doesn't shift. As population increases, you need to increase supply to achieve that.
They all do. The idea of bad quality DACs is mostly FUD. That’s not to say that there aren’t bad ones, but the impact on the sound is rarely anything other than its self-noise floor.

That thread contains little to no evidentiary merit and a boatload of technical ignorance.
are you OK with most Muslims not using the internet, because their values are radically different from non-muslims (treatment of women, gays, atheists) and they have a fairly high rate of terrorism compared to other ideologies?

It's likely that the internet and places like GAB or whatever site you don't like, is a good place to de-radicalize people as well. and you can't even have a place to de-radicalize when the people you care about that happening for have had their thoughts banned from the internet.
Subsidizing homeowners does not hold prices down. It may actually help prices to increase, as everyone knows that they will be able to sell homes at higher prices because the government will continue to help people pay for them.
Simulation (using the tools made according to some mathematical model) is not an experiment by definition, the very same way a cartoon is not reality.
If of course they don't deliberately cook their numbers – something that even tier 1 companies in China been caught doing.

I.e. Baidu's custom search pages, they cost brands millions of bucks per year, but Baidu was still buying buying bot traffic by itself to draw up some semblance of it being worth it for companies! Imagine Facebook hiring people to click on its own ads.
What's the alternative to "build your own platforms" though. Are you willing to compel Stripe by threat of force to keep processing credit cards for nazis? Are you willing to completely torpedo freedom of association, as long as the people demanding your company continue associating with them are sufficiently monstrous?
Any "anti-deplatforming" is, of necessity, forced unwilling speech. Which is sort of the opposite of what "free speech" people should be standing up for.

No, the "relaying" or "transmission" argument is just a dishonest gambit in 2018. Only idiots believe YouTube thinks everything some YouTuber might say on their own channel. Should AT&T have had the right to cut off phone calls containing speech they didn't like? There were party lines where entire groups of people could hear the same person speak, so it wasn't just one on one communication. Should AT&T have had the right to cut those off because of AT&T's "free speech" rights?

Sorry, but the effect of such a position is to allow large companies to regulate the speech of the general public. Their inability to censor the general public doesn't somehow mean that they lose any ability to express their views to the public. It only curtails their ability to squelch the expression of others.
Perhaps it's a reproducible way to build careers?
It's a recurring weakness of societies throughout history. There does seem to be strong social push back against it which hopefully implies we are collectively building immunity.

What about all the people who would prefer lower density over all those other things that you mention?
I think I misunderstood. Why would having a mortgage make it desirable to stop others from getting one? Surely you want to fill the neighborhood as much as possible and create public services—this increases the value of everything. NIMBY on the other hand is completely irrational.

oppressed people of various sorts have a real need to be able to "speak the unspeakable"

There's a difference between letting people express themselves and ratifying hate to fuel more outrage. Doing that is throwing the justice baby out with the bathwater -- also because it's more viral and you make more money and get more political power that way.

In Japan, it's common for the land to be worth a lot of money and the house on the land to be worth nothing. New buyers frequently tear down the house and build a new one.

After a few decades of ownership, it is not unheard of for people to move out of their house, tear it down and replace it with a new one, and then move back in. I guess they rent a place to live while this is happening.

In Japan particularly, this is a legacy of the poor quality of houses built in the early 20th century and the period after WWII when everything was slapped together as quickly as possible. They really were worthless after a decade or two because they were not built to last.

This seriously damages the incentives for maintaining existing homes, because they are going to be worthless in 10 years, why bother?

This was my thought too - it may not matter if the colors are 100% accurate as long they are enough to trick the human eye and brain into filling in what’s missing. Besides, the reality is, these are not color source photos and will never be. A black and white photo does not contain the color information, it was never captured. All we really can do is use historically accurate colors and afaik, that is the same thing professionally recolorists do as well.

Really neat work!
I think matrices are easier for people to visualize because they can think about them as a vector frame and coordinate transformations.

Quaternions are seen as this abstract 4D space somehow containing 3D space transformations, and people have a much harder time visualizing 4D space. I do not think spending a lot of time trying to visualize this 4D space, like this video does, is the right way to go. Rotors make that method obsolete.

We must protect Free Speech as broadly as we can manage. Otherwise, one allows the gatekeeping of speech, and Free Speech is dead.
Without reading through that very long text, claiming that incentives don't influence human behavior is a wildly exotic claim.

There is near infinite evidence to the contrary. That said, constructing a system with "the right incentives" can of course be devilishly hard or even impossible.
You are thinking about “industrial style” that looks like “industry.” Industrial design is the art and science of designing products — it has nothing to do with a specific look or style.

Programming a social robot using Cycle.js
Ok I understand your question better, might update the article. Like the other commenter said, you can keep applying the geometric product more than once. To find what happens you can just work with the basis vectors.

So, you basically have three case:
x (xx) = x (1) = x
-> a vector

x (xy) = x (x.y + x^y) = x (x.y) + xxy = x (x.y) + y
-> a vector

x (yz) = x (y.z + x^y) = x (y.z) + xyz
-> a vector + a trivector. This only happens if the three vectors are independent, which can never be the case for -ava

No need to jump to the idea of compulsion. If there were an established social norm that "platform platforms" should make an active attempt to be viewpoint-neutral, chances are that enough of them would voluntarily follow that norm to allow platforms like Gab to continue operating. If the norm isn't established, well, good luck passing a law to force anyone to follow it. Right now, the trend seems to be against such a norm.
I hate to link to my unfinished work, but here goes :-)

I started out by deciding to write a blog post. Here is my rambling second draft: https://github.com/ygt-mikekchar/oojs/blob/master/oojs.org#r...

However, as I was writing this blog post, it became obvious to me that I needed something better than Shape/Rectangle toy explanations. I needed to build something real. So I decided to build a test framework.

Here it is: https://gitlab.com/mikekchar/testy

I wrote a quick explanation of the design I was using here: https://gitlab.com/mikekchar/testy/blob/master/design.md You can read that first if you just want to see what I was doing and don't want the long winded explanation of how I got there from the blog post.

While I was writing this code, I decided to make a coding standard for myself because sometimes it helps to add constraints to examine how things are working. The coding standard is here: https://gitlab.com/mikekchar/testy/blob/master/coding_standa...

I suppose TL;DR: Objects should not represent ADTs. Instead they hold state. The object is really a collection of operations on that state (bundled together to give you better cohesion). The state is encapsulated in the object and should be inaccessible except through the operations. Objects should probably be immutable as well -- especially as it enforces that encapsulation. The best way to think about it is that the object itself is a monad (and it literally is). The methods on the object are functions that you would normally pass to bind. The "." that does the dispatch is essentially bind. I found that I never actually reached for subclass polymorphism (even though it was easy to implement). Instead I used essentially traits and I think this is in keeping with the modern idea that OO should encourage composition over inheritance.

Why do this instead of FP? Well, as you can see, my code is really FP with "FP Objects". I think the thing I liked about this is the idea that the objects created a nice abstraction for cohesive code. It's not that different than type classes (and I always think it's funny that type classes are usually implemented with virtual function tables). However, it is slightly more restricted in terms of generic functions. In a system without static type checking, I think it's easier to reason about this code. YMMV.

In the end, I found this way of programming very enjoyable. The code is still quite crufty, so please don't judge me ;-) I was just writing it to explore the ideas. It's not production code.

I considered going on and finishing Testy and possibly building something else with that style of programming, but it turns out that all current implementations of JS are quite inefficient when using closures (and may even leak memory!), so I decided to work on something else.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to fire away.
"Tinker to your heart’s desire"

I so wish they had put this bang in the middle of their home page.
In Helsinki each building is owned by a maintenance company - a company that takes fees to cover basic expenses, but which isn't allowed to generate a profit. You don't buy a flat, as such, instead you buy shares in the holding-company.

In short all flats/apartments are cooperatives, but still profit occurs when they're bought and sold. The structure and profit/loss are unrelated.
I assume there is harassment going on. I have no idea how much of it is and reported or dismissed. I worked there and saw absolutely none for four years, although that is not dispositive. Being old and a citizen of the USA I believe in the old-fashioned notion of innocent until proven guilty.
I'm aware. I also know that if you are the oppressed person, it can be hard to sort such things out. It can be hard to figure what is legitimate and righteous anger that is nonetheless Verboten to express and what is merely outrage fuel.

It can be hard to find your own voice. It is necessary to have a little latitude when trying to do so.

It gets vastly more complicated when you are trying to do that in some kind of group setting. It easily goes bad places.
KDE is the 2000s model of window management, reminiscent of Vista with its gaudy transparency and compositing. The modern way is tablet-oriented UIs like Windows 10 Metro UI, which Gnome copied pretty well. Also Gnome is now scriptable with JavaScript. JavaScript for UIs is where the future has been headed for a while.
yep. powershell is similar. because of the ongoing changes to .net underneath, moving to version 6 means supporting 2 versions; the legacy windows version (with all the modules), and the new .net core version. but because it's dynamically typed, its basically 1 million footguns.
