> I'm so tired of people calling the regulation of hate speech and violent speech on private platforms "censorship." These people are more than free to express themselves in any public platform or their own platform. They are not censored in any way.

What exactly is "their own platform"?

If I post to a blog site, that's not my platform and can be censored.

If I host my own blogging software on a kubernetes service that's not my platform and I can be censured (AFAIK all providers have TOS on the type of content allowed and largely reserve the right to remove content for any reason).

If I host my own OS with blogging software on a IaaS provider again I may be shutdown/refused to do business with.

If I host my own hardware, with own OS with blogging software in a colocation datacenter it may also be removed for TOS violation.

Same for simply hosting it on my own computer connected to an ISP, the ISP has TOS for the types of content allowed through their networks.

So how exactly do I setup this (mythical?) "own platform" where I can post anything that I am constitutionally/legally allowed to and how do I make it available over the Internet?

Actual title is “Volcanoes! Lightning! And Radioactive Gas, Too”. It becomes ungrammatical if you remove the exclamation points. If you feel you have to change it, I'd recommend “Volcanoes, Lightning, And Radioactive Gas, Too”.
I have an unlisted video with about 15 views that when viewed in an incognito tab constantly recommends stuff like "Ben Shapiro owns liberal professor", alongside gun videos.

I just did an experiment where I clicked one of these and clicked "next" a bunch going through their recommended videos. It immediately dove into alt-right stuff, and eventually led to videos of antifa protestors getting beaten up.

This is normal on YouTube.
It's certainly worth considering, but the answer depends on what you're doing with it. If your goal is to binary search over it for an exact string match, for example, the important thing is that your sorting and searching code are consistent. Might as well have both use the simpler/faster LC_ALL=C semantics.

Didn’t watch the video but Feeding America is a great charity that collects food about to waste from retailers and gives it to people and families suffering from food insecurity. https://www.feedingamerica.org
Seriously, take a closer look at the quality

FWIW, growing up in SV the low quality was invisible to me because I didn't know anything else. I didn't know it was crap. It wasn't until I lived elsewhere that I saw the nose on the face.

> Absolutely! There's a big 4.0 release happening soon

Virtually no-one's updated from Grails version 2 to version 3, or released any plugins for version 3, so it's hard to believe anyone's interested in a 4.0 release.
Using data from here: https://www.bayareamarketreports.com/trend/bay-area-market-s...

It looks like ~3% of the housing units in the greater Bay Area sell on an annual basis so if the top 3% of income earners can afford today's prices the liquidity cliff can hide.
When did you measure SSE4.2 against straightforward vector usage and find it faster? In my experience this was true more or less never. There's almost nothing in SSE4.2 that can't be done better with SSSE3. Intel has slowly deprecated SSE4.2 by not promoting it to wider vectors (it is still 128b when most other instructions are 512b) and letting the throughput/latency stagnate.

1 cycle per byte is not a good result for single string search; you can practically do a shift-and comparison of your input in that speed using general purpose registers.
Right, and a small number of people grow ever more absurdly rich.

This guy is still active on reddit too. If you look at the user profile. He's made a few posts over the years I guess on this. Also apparently he was a male model in case any of you think you might be so fortunate as to so day share his experiences ;)
The Four Freedoms Speech (1941)
I have this one, and really like it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C40OG22/ref=oh_aui_sear... – it costs $10.99 and has anti-slip rubber on its surface.

I also own another that has a completely smooth surface and my phone tends to slide off.
The one thing that bothered me most about the bay area was all the people who were more willing to live in cold, foggy, crowded, expensive SF AND deal with a commute to the area with nicer weather (south). Maybe they had family issues back home and have a need to live somewhere that is more "open minded" than anywhere else.

It's a super expensive jet that was touted to be a good idea because cramming three roles into "one design" would lead to efficiencies and cost reductions. Instead the end result is that there's barely 30% commonality between the 3 versions while also being hugely expensive and underperforming. Meanwhile, remember that the F-22 program was effectively cut short and cancelled because it was too expensive, at around $150 million per jet.

If they had any sense they would have cancelled the F-35 program long ago and rerun a set of competition trials for each of the three separate roles.

Honestly, I'm not an economist. But from what I've gathered from reading various opinions on this matter is that economic inequality is the main source of weak economic mobility in developed countries - especially in countries that don't have safety nets.

The theory essentially is that strong economic mobility requires some "base" value of economic power.

If you're born into a family with negative assets, thousands of dollars in credit card debt, bad neighborhood you're essentially starting your life with negative economic mobility and turning that positive is extremely difficult given the circumstances and in many cases you stay poor. For example, the effects of redlining is still seen to this day after nearly half a century has passed.

On the other end, if you're born into a family with a strong economic background and proper investments. You're already starting your life with positive economic mobility.

The way to think about it is, if you're on the bottom of the graph in terms of assets, you're going to be going further and further down (until where is the question?) and if you're on the top of the graph you're going to keep going up.

College, various inheritance taxes, social safety nets, etc etc try to offset these differences by essentially making the top of the graph a little "weaker" and boosting the bottom of the graph. But is it working?
I'd say "alright, time to move on from Apple!" but what competition do they even have in the niche of high quality, UX-focused computer products? There's maybe some that do one or two things really well, but for a full-package experience, like a laptop, it's barren out there. It's not even like I root for Apple to somehow work this out out of some brand loyalty, it's because if they fail, they'll leave a huge gaping hole in the niche they built for themselves.
Part of me feels like these tools with "recommendation algorithms" who's parameters and behavior are opaque and not adjustable by the user are meant to put the people that wrote them in control of the user's mind.
When I started at University I wanted to work in advertising. I was curious at how these huge agencies got accounts - like how do the JWT's and Saatchi's of the world get their clients?

It was something that is never spoken about or really talked about at University, but so much of it is you just need to be in front of the right people and ask the right things.

For referrals, you have to leave your comfort zone and ask - "hey, you're a CTO at a mid sized Government agency and need my services...do you know anyone else I should be speaking with".

Like most things in sales, it's deceptively simple. It's a conversation. Probably over a beer or a coffee or lunch or something.
It’s called a “Friday news dump” - toss it out with the trash to some outlet. TechCrunch wouldn’t just make up a story.

Nice. And now they should put also a weight verification. No kidding at all.
What risk? They are slightly less rich?

Vs putting up years of your life, working hard, dealing with the stress of an early stage company, and then walking away with what you would have made working at a big company anyway.
So the thing here is Apple would never have announced the product and pumped it the way they have unless someone who at the time was highly respected said with very high confidence that it could be done. Not only that, but a lot of other experienced and respected people would also, almost certainly, have looked at it and also agreed it was doable.

For Apple to say now it can't be done in a timely manner means those people either got a serious black eye, or they're out of the company and the remaining people don't think it's doable.
Funny how its NEVER "radicalization" when it comes from the Global Socialist LEFT pushing self identification, refusal to admit science+Biology+facts and refusal to talk about ideas without abusing someone or calling them some "hate" name
It is ridiculous to suggest that MSNBC is "extreme left wing", absolutely ridiculous.

On the Citations Needed (CN) podcast, there is an episode where an MSNBC tv Anchor goes on to defend CN's criticism of his network. During this podcast, the anchor states that being openly anti-capitalist or socialist will get you laughed out of the room there.

To suggest a network with that kind of hostility to criticism of Capitalism is "extreme" left wing is farcical. MSNBC is painfully centre-left and pro-Democratic party.
So the issue was on the receiving device, not the mat?

> ‘‘(3) LIMITONAPPLICABILITY.—This sub-section shall not apply with respect to any employee described in section 13(a)(1).

That's:

| (1) any employee employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity (including any employee employed in the capacity of academic administrative personnel or teacher in elementary or secondary schools), or in the capacity of outside salesman (as such terms are defined and delimited from time to time by regulations of the Secretary, subject to the provisions of subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 5, except that an employee of a retail or service establishment shall not be excluded from the definition of employee employed in a bona fide executive or administrative capacity because of the number of hours in his workweek which he devotes to activities not directly or closely related to the performance of executive or administrative activities, if less than 40 per centum of his hours worked in the workweek are devoted to such activities); or

I think that means that this doesn't apply to... a great number of people who really wish it did.
Arguing about how many millions of years it will run for seems to be missing the forest for the trees. IMO the real message here is, holy crap magnetic bearings are amazing, now how do we get them into everything else?

Building Machine Learning Models via Comparisons
The counterweight swinging seems like a major hazard. Also, I am curious what stability issues it will have if there is a sudden hazard appearing (let's say person walk in front of it).
Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure I'd run this in a Docker instance on it's own. Also, I submitted a pull request here https://github.com/igomez10/speedInspectorRPI/pull/1 as it should be noted that on a Raspberry Pi outside of the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ you will max out at 100mbps. On the 3 B+ despite the gigabit adapter you'll max out at 300mbps.

I use a Speedtest monitor via Home Assistant which I run on a Raspberry Pi Model 3 along with the rest of my home automation setup. Check out Home Assistant at https://home-assistant.io.
I have a similar background (worked about a year on some anti-abuse systems), and completely agree.

This is an incredibly hard problem space. Machine learning is already hard before you start introducing adversaries...
When you pass around file URIs between apps (using Intents for example), the target app gets permission to process the URI (which can be a file or something else).

So no redundant obsolete copies. This mechanism has been in Android for years now.
Apple has pulled off some reported last minute hardware changes while stretching timelines.

The 2016 MBP which had a 500+ day update cycle was apparently supposed to have the terraced battery used in MacBooks. [1]

That got chucked last minute and led to a lot of battery complaints early on. I returned a loaded 13” due to limited battery life.

The company ended up working SW systems to squeeze more out of what it has and it seemed to work.

In that case they also seemed to be trying to meet a holiday release.

Video or in-person - they're still going to see your face.
I wonder how much of this is due to sponsorship. Aren't Ben Shapiro, PragerU, etc. billionaire-funded outreach programs? Can you pay Youtube to give your videos higher positioning in recommendation lists without their higher positions being explicitly labeled as "sponsored"?
You can get nice curves in sheet metal by pounding it with a bag filled with metal spheres, like large ball bearings.

Sort of like hand-grinding a telescope mirror, or polishing stuff. The dents average out.

Not a good way to build anything with close tolerances, but a way to manually build a thing.
That's what next-level success looks like! It's one thing to imagine something and create it; it's another thing to imagine something bigger than yourself, share the vision, draw people together, and create it as a group; it's yet another thing, a longer, slower, more difficult, and ultimately bittersweet form of success, to support the growth of a community organized around a vision until the point that it can leave you behind. It takes some wisdom to let go at the appropriate pace and step away at the appropriate moment. Congratulations on getting to this point.
Warehouses typically have shelves four, five or six tall. Thus, forklift operators. This thing seems limited to sorting boxes at floor level?

There's a non-trivial chance that part of the problem here was safety related. I for one, therefore, am happy they didn;'t ship it.
I'm not going to argue with you but I'll point out a hole in your logic here:

What matters is the sale price of recently sold houses to the incomes of those actively searching to purchase a new home as well as how many such people there are in the market.

I agree with this statement, and as I see it, if the houses that were offered for sale were "unaffordable" then they would stay on the market for sale waiting for that special person who could afford them. Instead, what we're seeing is that houses sell, on average, in less than 30 days. So as callous as it might sound, people looking for homes are finding them and buying them. In Santa Clara county at a rate of about a 1,000 a month or 12,000 a year[1]. There are some interesting differential equations you can write that describe how quickly every home in the county will have changed hands at least once, but suffice it to say the narrative that a bunch of "grey hairs" who have bought and paid off their houses are just sitting in them is inaccurate.

As someone who lives in a home and neighborhood built in the 60's I can tell you, nothing motivates Grandma to move to Arizona faster than being able to cash out a million bucks into the savings account. We have exactly one original owner in the neighborhood and they are here because their kids (and grandkids) are also in the neighborhood, otherwise they would have moved as well.

The replacement of class politics with bloated Imperial multi-ethnic racial politics.

Often cheered by those who have never experienced actual hardship ie Homelessness, precarity mindset of being low income, being rejected at interviews because you have to use old clothes, social isolation of the lower classes, etc

Or to put it more crassly, the poor of America aren't "sexy". The poor of 3rd world nations? HOT. People who individalize their suffering by adopting "identities" (gender, sexual, racial)? HOT. The couple sleeping in front of the boutique candy store? TOTALLY NOT
Based on my previous experience with Iridium I believe it actually operates at a data rate up to about 3 to 3.2 kb/s. 2400 bps of it is actual usable voice payload, the remaining 600 bps is FEC.

Iridium data (not the new next-generation network) service is around the same speed, it's 2400 bps + whatever compression v42bis can gain you. For plain text and stuff it can be a bit faster, something that's already incompressible by v42bis will be right around 2400 baud.

I would say it should stop at the ISP level. ISPs are (or at least should be) a utility, and as a consequence completely non-disciminatory in who they host, similar to how phone lines are run.

So, in theory (at least in my perfect world), you could run a server in your basement and host your controversial views there.
Comeon now, that chart is a lot worse than "strange". It is so comically dumb that any channel seeing fit to publish it should have a very hard time getting anyone taking them seriously again.
I was always under the impression that in the US, returns that were not because of a defect were more of a courtesy than a legal requirement:

> Many retailers, as part of their business models, allow returns if customers change their minds or receive unwanted items as gifts. While many retailers have decided this makes for the best business practice, they aren't legally required to accept returns. Rather, retailers are required to accept returns only if the sold good is defective or if they otherwise break the sales contract. [1]

Thank you for explaining this. Still, while this presents a very interesting scientific problem, the engineer in me wonders why these feedback loops are needed for an automaton navigating a 2D terrain and carrying solid objects (unless they plan on tossing/catching boxes), why two wheels with that giant swinging counterweight? What's next, a unicycle?

You know, sometimes you see a solution, and it's just so elegant... This isn't elegant, or brilliant. This is an attempt to solve self-imposed, artificial problems.

>Additionally your edit doesn’t hold because apple sells iPhones without an official wireless charger either.

AirPower was supposed to be that official wireless charger. So is your argument that my point doesn't matter because cancelling AirPower is actually worse than I initially mentioned? Either way, the new AirPods are a little different than iPhones. The primary difference between AirPods 1 and AirPods 2 was the wireless charging. The wireless charging was never the top-line feature of any new iPhones.

>If you’re going to call out apple for making the charging standard based on USB power delivery

That is not why I am calling Apple out. I am calling them out because they are refusing to offer a first party solution for a product's primary feature and "it is just an open standard" is not a valid excuse for that fact.
