>GP isn’t asking whether it's legal to sue software companies for the acts of users. He’s asking if it's right and/or sensible.

Ok...but it’s a much narrower issue because it’s not about a software vendor being sued for the acts of their customers. It’s being sued for selling your goods/services where you knew or should have known the buyer was going to use your good/service to commit a crime.

So in the extreme case, if a mass shooter told their plans to an arms dealer and the arms dealer sold the gun anyway...then yes, I don’t think many people will argue with the intent of the law.

Here the facts can be blurred a little more, where SF will say we just built a data base we didn’t know how it would be used, and if we did know how it would be used then we didn’t know that use was a crime, and if we did know it was a crime we felt defense xyz would apply.

No one is saying anything about due diligence. “Know or should have known” is a legal term of art and I think everyone is implying it creates an impossible burden for tech companies to comply with. And these aren’t regulations being “put in place” as you suggest, it’s long established Law.

You haven't read the facebook comments in our neighborhood group, where even the upgrade of a crumbling parking lot or flop house covered in graffiti to a modest apartment building meets howls of protest and "disgust."
Quite clearly this is just a move to gain back support.

But this has nothing to do with free speech. If I tell someone something, they have no obligation to broadcast what you said. Why should Facebook act differently?

I don't like that they're targeting such a specific group. I think we should be on the lookout for real racism, and this is certainly an example of that.
If places like Twitter didn't exist, sure.
If there is a MITM attack, regular conversation can still proceed between the people and someone could eavesdrop on the entire conversation.
Just to add to the confusion: Monoidal categories are the appropriate notion of "monoid object" in the category of categories; unit and associativity law are replaced by coherent natural isomorphisms (see "categorification"). So that's where the "monoidal" comes from.
They strongly support immigration in every way.
==What happens long-term when the people whose memories of the horrors of the early 20th century die off?==

Surely you could think of race/religious/class based horrors that have occurred since WWII. There have been genocides in places like Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Yemen this century. There is an ongoing one in Darfur, Sudan [1]. Rwanda [2] and Bosnia and Herzegovina [3] had genocides in the 90s.

I don't think it's supposed to. It's just a price control meant to keep large swaths of income brackets from being priced out of the city entirely.
>>I don't think there is any technological glory on destroying a satellite

We are talking about the capability to track and destroy a live satellite in space in under a span of 3 minutes with precision. There is a significant amount of technology involved here right from the types of propellants, precise navigation controls to steer rock in a specific direction...all of which has been developed indigenously. This technology can be easily used in other space programs for civilian applications.

Not sure on what basis you are considering this as not being technologically significant.
> In Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner, the Supreme Court distinguished a private shopping mall from the company town in Marsh and held that the mall had not been sufficiently dedicated to public use for First Amendment free speech rights to apply within it.

So if a site has a monopoly on video commentary, that would seem to be "sufficiently dedicated to public use" to me.

>Saying that white nationalists, despite their inherently violent nature, deserve a platform is categorically support.

What? There's no room to support the right of certain people to speak without "supporting" them? "Deserving a platform" is a total red herring here. There's room to worry about the largest platform in the world suppressing speech without claiming that those it suppresses "deserved" that platform.

>despite the fact that we as a society have said hate speech should not be tolerated

I can't believe you are serious at this point, because it is just so obviously untrue. Have you read what people have had to say in this thread at all? Are you aware that the position of the ACLU is that not only is "hate speech" to be tolerated, it is protected by the First Amendment in the US? https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/free-speech-can-be-mes...

I say this as someone who's pretty okay with Facebook taking down white nationalist stuff. As big as it is, Facebook simply isn't big enough to create major worries about controlling speech. My problem is that you're not making an argument here at all; you haven't really come to terms with the fact that quite a few reasonable people disagree with you.

Currently the library part supports Windows, and it can be used from C# or C++, if you want to use something like https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/Windows.Networking....

However there is no native support for tunnel interfaces in Windows, and we are still thinking about the best way to add full support.

The WireGuard project for example developed a whole new driver just for that. Don't know if we are going to follow that route.

Can you expand on this? Wealthy people may not hit zero on their balance sheets, but isn't investing their capital in corporations a form of spending? That is, it enables the corporation to make capital expenditures to produce goods and services that will in turn be purchased. As long as wealthy people continue investing their capital, it should be healthy for the economy?

Well, the belief was that the capitalist regimes were keeping down and exploiting the proletariat by keeping them uneducated. Once given an opportunity for education and exposed to science and culture they will raise up against their masters.
There's a fundamental difference between an ISP and an edge provider. The service provider is like a system of roads whereas the edge providers are destinations.

As long as the roads are free, it should be fairly easy to buy a plot of land and build your own destination. However, if the road company won't allow you access, it stops being feasible.

Now in this analogy, large edge providers are campuses with internal roads that they control and many entrances and exits. They too can become a problem when they grow large enough.

So therefore, I would think keeping the road system neutral insofar as the connections it allows would be the first priority. Making sure edge providers don't subvert the system either by growing too large or by organizing to control the main system of roads would be of similar but lesser importance.

Moreover, if the main roads aren't neutral, there's no reason to make campus roads neutral.
And you have media for the OS you can install on them? And setup and configuration to a useable system is as simple as the guided wizards other OSs provide?
This seems absurd and unreasonable once you look at it more closely. If any group of people say they want to go live apart from others (white, gay, men, linux users, whatever), I'm fine with that. I wouldn't want to live in a racial separatist region myself, but I have no problem with other people choosing to do so. Treating black nationalists as heroes (which in a historical sense they were) while making white nationalists a target of scorn seems...unsustainable.

If FB wanted to redirect funding from "bad" things they don't like to a decent group, Life After Hate is about as bad as SPLC. There have to be better groups focused on helping people of various types.
You can use audacity to record audio coming out of your computer - just change "MME" to "Windows WASAPI" next to the input/output device settings.

Then, play audio from generative.fm and record it for 1-2 hours. You can export to MP3 or WAV when done.

I did something similar (but with OBS) in this video where I remixed music from the game Mirror's Edge Catalyst using Sonic Pi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ8dD5Bz3_E

Personally, I like the generative aspect.
I used to love the Discover Weekly, but now that I use Spotify most days when going to the gym any of my auto generated playlists like discover weekly kinda suck. I usually put on random gym playlists like the popular "Beast Mode" one. While I like this music for working out, I definitely don't normally enjoy listening to rap, hip hop, and EDM music however this is what most workout music consists of.

I wish I could have playlists that get ignored from Spotify's recommendation engine. Because I totally get it, Spotify thinks I'm into that kind of stuff so it's what I use Spotify for the majority of the time, however I have such a hard time finding new music to listen to on there :(.

I have worked on file APIs. There are so many differences between Windows and Posix that abstracting them away just doesn't work. Undoubtedly, there will eventually be platform-specific APIs that implement one or the other, and cross-platform APIs that implement the intersection.

This form of hateful speech will not stop. The only immediate consequence is that it will go underground. The bigger consequence is that it will be much harder to for authorities to monitor. Under the previous status quo, it was an intelligence treasure trove. Suspected future terrorists would openly tell everyone their thoughts, their location, and more importantly their friends and associates. All of that will be gone now.
Ahead of Its Time, Behind the Curve: Evernote Failed to Realize Its Potential
My sister-in-law's ex-husband traveled to China for weeks at a time and often. After their divorce, he moved there permanently. Two things happened.

Right away, he lost a lot of weight because he didn't like the food. Too many things he would never consider eating but he had to eat something. I don't know if it's the area he was in but he is still too thin today.

They divorced because he met a Chinese girl and married her. I don't recall the details--it might be a cultural thing--but it sounds like he was bamboozled into providing a lot of financial support to her Chinese family. The impression I get is that he's now stuck and it's a heavy burden.
I mostly work remote these days but "library rules" in anything but a limited area is silly. If I'm in the office, I have phone calls to participate in and people I want to chat with. If I want to have an extended conversation with someone, I'll (try to) find an alcove but there is zero point to my being in the office if I have to go somewhere private every time I open my mouth.

Currently Washington follows daylight saving time so we'll be using PST on new years eve.

Washington lawmakers are considering a bill to end daylight saving time. If it passes then new years eve 2020 will be PDT, not PST

"it winds up being just as bad as or worse than being pimped. It winds up being done to benefit male clients at the expense of female sex workers, basically."

I did an essay on legalization in college after a lot of research. I favor decriminalization, too, but I strongly disagree that regulation is just as bad or worse. The biggest problem I found was that prostitutes could be beaten, raped, and murdered with either no legal recourse or much less action by police. That's because people couldn't report the act or importance circumstances without risking jail time. Regulation, aka the circumstance itself is no longer criminal, might dramatically boost the safety and legal protections for prostitutes despite hardships it brings. What little data I had on regulated brothels here and overseas suggested they were way safer.
Your comment is an exceptional example of fascist propaganda, and illustrates how it can spread in "polite society". It even includes a cute attempt to hide it by suggesting you're "not a fan". However, you're not even suggesting that they have a right to speech, but white nationalist ideology HAS MERIT and should be researched. Are you kidding?

It starts with an appeal to consider differences of opinion. The white nationalists ease in the ignorant by veiling their true beliefs by using dogwhistles like "white replacement" or "white genocide". This is commonly referred to as "hiding your power level" on white nationalist forums. They suggest that people of different races just shouldn't live together, or are somehow inherently incompatible. To people scared of the uncertainty of the future, or who are otherwise downtrodden, this is appealing. Suddenly you have an easy explanation for that fear.

In an more internet context, some join "just for the memes" but are gradually radicalized by the ideology. Then, someone acts on the ideology and kills a bunch of people, exactly what the memes were espousing in the first place. The world, for a short time, realizes what happened. But suddenly all of that is a joke, it's not real, it's just a difference of opinion again.

All of this ignores that the white nationalist ideology calls for an ethnostate, which inevitably leads to genocide. It's an inherently violent ideology, not just a "difference of opinion". It's exactly what ISIS wants; a state with absolute control by a particular ethnic group on racial or religious lines.

If this was just ignorant, take some time to research how hate groups spread propaganda. If it's not, follow your leader.
> There is a reason we don't see signs up like; 'No Blacks', 'No Gays', 'No Jews' in private establishments.

Could you imagine the immediate public backlash against this type of behavior by a private establishment? I don't think the law is doing the heavy lifting here.
I don't actually agree with the author that it's less confusing, but I'll abbreviate my other comment to answer your direct question.

A tensor is a multilinear map from a product of n vector spaces to another vector space. Every tensor is an element of a tensor product, which is (loosely speaking) a vector space you obtain by multiplying the dimension of two other vector spaces. So for example, the real space R^nk is the tensor product obtained from combining R^n and R^k.

To be more explicit, what you're doing is obtaining a new n by k matrix for every pair of vectors of R^n and R^k. In other words, take the Cartesian product of R^n and R^k. Then take every possible pair of vectors of the Cartesian product and combine them to form an n by k matrix. Now you have a tensor product, and each individual element of your tensor product is a tensor.

Going back to the abstract: a monoidal category is a category C of objects equipped with a functor defined ⊗: * C x C -> C*. If you take the category of vector spaces or the category of modules (like vector spaces, but defined over rings instead of fields) and define your monoidal functor to be the tensor product, you turn them into tensor categories.

Monoidal categories actually sit at a higher level of abstraction than tensor products, so I don't agree this makes monoidal categories less confusing. In fact it diminishes the abstraction of monoidal categories by forcing you to think of the monoidal operation as the tensor product instead of something which is more general.

On the other hand if you're familiar with (and prefer) the computationally-oriented definition of tensors as multidimensional arrays, this framing of monoidal categories might ground them somewhat so they're more accessible.

The thing about shooting down another nation's satellites in a military conflict - your own satellites are equally as vulnerable. It's like starting a nuclear war.

I certainly hope that among the nations and people who are developing these weapons, they have a number of game theory people who have thoroughly considered all of the ramifications of mutually assured destruction.

In a major conflict, the US and Russia have a number of geostationary and MEO orbit military satellite communications systems which are outside of the reach of any LEO antisatellite weapons (capable of shooting down things up in up to approximately 550x550km circular orbits).

On an Indian specific note, this threat has to be aimed only at whatever Pakistan might put into orbit. At present Pakistan has negligible ability to launch anything themselves, and very little actual Pakistani owned/manufactured/controlled satellites in low earth orbit. But who else can it possibly be considered a threat to?

India is hopefully not foolish enough to think that they could get into a shooting war with China and come out ahead.
"The same impact as governmental censorship, for most intents and purposes." False and dangerous. Government censorship means imprisonment and other forms of punishment, sometimes including death.

Typical Thinkpad users don't even use the touchpad. They use the Trackpoint. If I had the option, I would configure my Thinkpad BTO without a Touchpad. The Thinkpad Trackpoint (not Dell, HP, or anyone else) is still superior in my opinion to the Touchpad on the MacBook Pro.

I'm in favor of values-based governance. At some point you have to say "these are our values" and if you don't share them then don't use our platform. They do not necessarily teach a specific solution to a specific problem, but they can guide you toward an internally consistent position on one. As a practical matter, you must be willing to rank-order your values. Many emerging rights issues, particularly those involving speech and religion, simply cannot be dealt with if you treat all rights as equal and inviolable. This is government 101.
I absolutely love this approach and have used it successfully in the past, but there's a caveat: I have only encountered a handful of people in my career who know or care what a core file is, and even fewer who know how extract data out of one.

If you're building something that's going to primarily have strong systems people working on it, it's a great approach, especially for ephemeral state logs and debugging. If the "general public" is going to be trying to extract logs out of it, it's probably not very ergonomic for them.

Edit: taking it a level deeper, this is used in the Linux kernel during the early stages of booting. When I was doing bring-up on a board, I wasn't getting any console output when trying to boot the kernel. What I could do is let it sit for a bit, reset, and dump the kmesg buffer from u-boot to see what the kernel had been doing. Absolutely beautiful backdoor when trying to debug broken serial output.

I think it's interesting that companies are starting to tailor their software toward "millennials" - which I assume means writing iOS/Android apps instead of putting a web front end on an IBM 3090 screen.
