At a small enough level, you can maintain standards of conduct that are civil and fair. Once you reach a certain size, you lose the cohesion and accountability that makes someone feel like they need to be civil. Maybe part of solving that problem is making everyone part of a group where they are accountable and then making that group accountable to a larger group and so on until the largest group is accountable to society as a whole.

Some organized crime groups work this way as a way of controlling the incidence of violence, but the bonds between the members is stronger, in some sense than the bonds between casual acquaintances in the groups we form on a day-to-day basis.

I was thinking about how Facebook and YouTube are delisting and otherwise punishing creators of “fake news” and while it certainly seems a way of punishing and silencing unpopular thoughts and opinions, I do wonder whether a tightly controlled Facebook is the solution to society’s ills. I see people on Twitter being defamed for their speech or actions and I wonder if that is where we start to get our accountability back at a societal level? Where else do we have a group where everyone can be held accountable?
The typical ways to combat spam are also the ones most toxic for privacy and anonymity. On discord, the chat service that Rust migrates from IRC, I had to enter captchas quite often in order to log in to my existing account. Simply because I cleared all my cookies and had a different IP address. I rather have the little amounts of IRC spam than having to give them my phone number (EDIT: I've heard from someone who logged in to discord using a VPN who now has to enter one even on logins outside of VPNs). Abandoning IRC seems to be against Mozilla values.
When I want do do some small DOM manipulation I can now just use standard Javascript, jQuery went from providing an essential service smoothing over browser differences to just providing better syntax in that space. When I want to do more, often React or similar is a better fit. So I end up barely using jQuery anymore.

That said, I can imagine quite a few scenarios where it would still be the right tool for the job.
This seems to be a real labor of love for you.

It must be slightly traumatic seeing your first review of the app:

The author removed the coloring, because the default setup is for ls to list files with colors. He uses an environment variable to do that.

Wouldn't it be simpler to use \ls instead of ls? This way you get the "basic version of the executable", not some alias. I always use \command instead of command in my shell scripts, because you never know which aliases a user set up.

Also, those people finder sites that scrape public records.

When I search for a name, usually their blog is listed below 10 creepy lookup sites that list their name, physical address history, phone numbers, relatives, etc.

Google should push that garbage to the bottom of the stack.
Niche search verticals can still compete. Sourcegraph comes to mind, where you can tweak your search parameters to give superior results for more narrow use cases. I don't google for Recipes anymore because the blogspam is that bad, or for images because I don't want some pinterest or Reddit redirect carousal. I'm sure there are hundreds of example where Google "Lowest common denominator" search does not cut it.

You don't need a tax return to know someone's net worth.

The $413 million number is from a NYT article adjusting the supposed $60 million loan from his Father for inflation. Even with the best savings account rates you wouldn't get to a billion. Not even close to the 3 billion he's valued at.

Sure, go try to borrow a billion dollars and report back. There's no denying Trump became successful. He made himself a billionaire. You don't need a tax return to verify that.

Failed ventures doesn't make you a failure, especially if you have had successful ventures. Even more so if you go on to become President.
>I get that people want to see a company crippled but wiping out a quarter of revenue is a death-blow.

No, it's not. 15 billion is less than 3% of Facebook's market cap. It's less than the swing in Facebook's value after market close on Wednesday. Also probably less than the value they got through violating their consent decree.

I have an old Sanav CT-24. It sends HTTP requests with a NMEA protocol payload. It's been a long time since I used it. I created my first Rails application to receive its data back in 2005/6. It uses GPRS (yes) and falls back to SMS. I'm sure there are more modern models.
How does it look like? Can I say it's like Google Maps + moving pins (e.g. tracked vehicles) for the server-side, and SDK/client library for GPS devices?

Also, what Android/iOS got to do with this? A "viewer" (dashboard) for the server?

Nope. You hoarding wealth won't make the neighborhood less appealing. The hoarder is not free loading.

New wealth can be created, we don't need yours. If your investment real estate is contributing $1/square foot in property taxes but everyone else's occupied property is contributing $5/square foot in wages, sales tax, property tax and municipal fees... then it makes sense to charge the free loaders. This isn't even dealing with the blight and community development points. Just from a financial perspective it makes sense.

Solution is to repeal the laws that make driving non-discriminatory. It'd be painful in the short run but ultimately a place being so bad cabbies won't drive there is a signal there is a serious need for other forms of intervention, probably by policing changes. Wallpapering over the symptoms may relieve short term pressure but is no long term solution.
I usually just make my own AssertSz() macro that can take printf args. Works great for those pernicious asserts that need more data.
Oh, I think I misunderstood your original sentence. I thought you were saying there's an angry post that needs to be written about how to make a Qt app smaller by statically compiling the app and stripping the libraries. I was saying I would like to read the post detailing how.

But, now that I've thought about it for a few minutes, it does sound pretty straight forward. Unless Qt makes it difficult for some reason?
QuadrigaCX: Patryn, Cotten, and Midas Gold–A Liberty Reserve Exchanger
You can track logs if you want. It's up to the channel owner. Once you have that set up you won't miss anything, and people new to the channel could view previous history. You could also connect remotely through a server that never reboots too and log things yourself (as a client).

I find Slack to be even worse in that regard because they'll purge your history after 10,000 lines unless you pay, but the payment scheme doesn't make sense for a lot of communities. Like, whose going to pay $15/month per USER if you have 300 people in your channel? That would be $4,500 / month to get unlimited history right? I never signed up because I don't want to pay a mortgage to get chat history.

I dunno. I just don't see the appeal of Slack for both communities and small teams.
Was this book your first exposure to Classical Mechanics? Would you recommend it as such?
Is it impossible to believe that was a legitimate security decision? How would you implement such an API and prevent developers from abusing it for spyware purposes? Personally, even though I opt into sharing app-specific usage data with developers, I don’t particularly want my global device-level usage statistics available to any random app that also has network entitlements.
I always had your knee-jerk reaction to gossip, but after reading "How the mind works" by Steven Pinker I had to rethink my stance. I think I've been too influenced by sayings such as "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people". What Pinker argues is that gossip is a very important activity, it helps us learn more about our world, the social structures within it, and more importantly: who is trustworthy? Let's say A gossips to me about B (saying something bad). If another person C corroborates the character of B with their own experience, I can reasonably assume B is a bad actor. If C doesn't corroborate then perhaps A is the bad actor, spreading false rumours. Either way I've gained information. During our evolutionary history, learning who is trustworthy and who is not would be the difference between life and death. Just because we are far removed from lethal consequences in today's society doesn't mean gossip is any less useful. It can help you figure out if you should trust your business partner, invest in someone's business or provide a personal loan etc.

It does look like Google Maps with moving pins, but it has a lot of extra functionality like geofencing, various reports, notifications and more. You can also view history for one or multiple devices.

There are two mobile apps. One app is basically for tracking your phone (Traccar Client) and the other one is the viewer (Traccar Manager).
Netsplits happen once in a blue moon nowadays (on freenode at least), nick collisions are also solved (you can register your nick on freenode and other networks), and you can totally set up logging on your channel and unlike Slack it won't disappear after 10,000 messages. You can also make it accessible through the web so people can easily see past history.

File transfers are definitely an issue over IRC but https://send.firefox.com/ solves that problem very well. For sharing code, there's gists (which I often send directly through my code editor which makes it seamless).
Generally, channels are independently moderated. The moderation is done by someone in the channel, often just the person who started the channel.

The distributed moderation works well with large networks, because the people doing the moderation are in the channel reading it and keeping up with the conversation.

However, because the bar for becoming a channel operator is low, it's not a good idea to give full ban access to them.
Got any papers? I'm interested in unsupervised creativity.
Not surprised. I built automotive test benches for some time. The moment you have something that can remote-access the CAN-bus, you have a problem.

There are typically only a few busses in a car. In many cases, there is a LIN bus for entertainment / radio / lights etc that is physically separated from the main CAN bus. This one is mostly harmless.

But if you can somehow talk to the main bus... There are like 5 critical ECUs that have to communicate "I'm OK" (engine, breaks etc) - otherwise nothing works. Those communicate with some minor encryption, and that communication is somewhat validated (they send counters to each other etc).
But it doesn't matter. First of all, the protocols and databases are similar for different models, and known to A LOT of people who had jobs similar to mine. In order to test or build any ECU, you have to simulate the correct communication, otherwise the ECU won't start up.. Second, just sending nonsense with the right identifier could probably shut down the car or at least make it think there is a major problem. Third, there are messages that simulate power-cycling the bus..

I don't think "vital function" should be the only test applied. For example power plants are extremely vital, but at least around here we have no problem having them privately owned.

A better test would be "vital function and strongly tends to a natural monopoly". That's what we experience with sewers, power lines, roads etc., which is why usually they are operated publicly.

With search that's not so obviously true: Google dominates because they got a big lead at the right time, and now nobody can match them in scale. But that can be solved, for example by giving grants to promising search engines to offset their costs, or by operating a crawler from public funds and giving everyone free access to the crawls (which would be kind of the digital equivalent of operating libraries).

And this is why O() notation drops constants. 0(bits) or O(bits/8) aka bytes are the same thing. It's also worth pointing out that in standard comparison sorts, the comparison itself is technically linear to radix too, but is treated as constant. I get why it's dropped but it's worth knowing.
I don't care if you didn't need it, because it's helpful for clarity regardless.

Another whale for Amazon:

>In April 2018, the Company executed an amendment to its existing agreement with Amazon Web Services (“AWS”). The amended agreement was effective as of May 1, 2018 and continues through July 31, 2023. The Company has minimum annual commitments of $50.0 million each year of the agreement term for a total minimum commitment of $250.0 million. As of January 31, 2019, the Company had a remaining minimum payment obligation of $212.5 million to AWS through July 31, 2023.
That's cute.
If an accident took place as a result of something like this would there be any way of finding out during an investigation?
Not like a government. Unless you mean to make unpopular speech illegal.

What happens to this rift if it's operating on an equation with a derivative such as the gradient of a neural network?

I'm a huge fan of deterministic computation, but we seem to be doing okay without it in deep learning with respect to floating point round off error. Or despite the fact that the computation could be deterministic, the algorithms are written in a way that they are not due to asynchronous accumulation and computation.

Would we just get a different minimum each time we run or would something more pernicious occur?

Very simple - the server can push to the client when joining a channel. This would require the channel to be logged server-side and that the user authenticates with nickserv before joining channels. It does not need client-side changes so you could still use any client.

>Do you know exactly how fly-by-wire Airbus planes are?

In normal operation it takes the input from the pilot and decides how to accomplish what it thinks the pilot wants. For example, if the pilot pulls all the way back the plane will translate that into the maximum safe climb rate. You can think of it as the pilot expressing a desired state and the plane figuring out how to get there.

>In an emergency, if the avionics computer goes crazy and starts making the plane do barrel rolls, can the pilot override it and take manual control?

AFAIK there's no way to disable the flight control. The computer is supposed to be reliable enough to not do crazy stuff and it accounts for sensor errors. Based on what sensors are malfunctioning different safety features are disabled. For example, if it can't get a reliable angle of attack reading the stall prevention is disabled.
Beautiful piece. I’ve felt the temptation to stop caring about the earth just because caring about a dying planet is too much to bear. But I think the author is right. It’s a false comfort.

If the LIN bus can access lights, and is bundled up with IMHO unrelated systems like radio/entertainment then that seems wrong by design. I say this as if somebody can remotely control your lights on a car, that in itself at the wrong time could and would prove dangerous.
I think your position is a little unrealistic. 50 people experiencing problems out of what, a billion? is pretty good. Do you think that if those billion people were served by 20 million small business e-mail providers, that none of those 20 million e-mail providers would ever make a mistake and affect their 50 customers?

So you want Apple to allow spyware on their phones? Should Smsrt TV makers be forced to allow any third party app? What about console makers? Should Nintendo be forced to allow adult oriented games on their platform?

What exactly is Apple’s business motivation for not allowing third party spyware but allowing third party music streaming, video streaming, office apps, book stores, etc? When they make money off of their own services in the other areas?

Next question. What if this app with the same capabilities - to record the apps and activity used on another phone - was marketed to husbands who suspected their wives were cheating. Would you be okay with that too? Should Apple allow it?

You make Facebook and all social media content fall under the telecommunications act.

Hi
The document you cite concludes that it is OK for Catholics to use such vaccines on their children if there are no vaccines not derived from such cells available because the moral necessity to protect the health of your children and those they come in contact with outweighs the mild, remote passive material cooperation with abortion doing so provides.

That was from 2005. They updated their position in 2017 [1]. The two abortions that provided the cell lines used for vaccines were more than 50 years ago. That removes even that mild passive material cooperation concern:

> the cell lines currently in use are very distant from the original abortions and no longer imply that bond of moral cooperation indispensable for an ethically negative evaluation of their use

...

> The technical characteristics of the production of the vaccines most commonly used in childhood lead us to exclude that there is a morally relevant cooperation between those who use these vaccines today and the practice of voluntary abortion

They also say that there is a "moral obligation to guarantee the vaccination coverage necessary for the safety of others".
