How different is project dragonfly from what is already being proposed by some political folks in the USA?

YouTube has arbitrary content policies which seem to mirror whatever the Democratic party wants. From China's POV they want the same thing except they call their party the Communist party.

Guys like Dennis Prager are trying to run a YouTube channel with conservative viewpoints and are finding it impossible to do so without obstacles. I don't think there is a single channel that is right of center which is not mistreated by YouTube.

Politics aside, let's look at political correctness. On YouTube you cannot be critical about a class of people because of their immigration status. I watched a documentary about of smuggling of illegal immigrants from North Africa into Europe. They showed footage of a guy who couldn't go out into his own farm at night because smugglers would trespass on his property en route to the shore where the boats were. The documentary was one of those "live" launches on YouTube. Conveniently the live launch was bugged out. I had to refresh the page an hour after I realized it didn't release.

24 hours later it was banned by YouTube.

So I ask again, is it only Chinese censorship that western society has a problem with?
Who said anything about tech Bros? I’m talking about moms and dads that work in tech.
What's definitely not the answer is leaving valuable real estate empty. I'm out of town a couple weekends a month, and travel to visit the wife's family overseas for around a month every year. No way to do short term rentals (our building has a 6mo minimum), so a property that could be generating almost $9k/y for us is instead a liability. Extremely frustrating when we're new parents just getting by, and a bunch of wealthy old people or young people who inherited their big ~$800k+ units have made this decision for us.

Not saying any complaints about guests are baseless, but they're balancing a small amount of comfort for them against what would be life-changing value for us.
Over the years I've used Raspberry Pis as little media players, but they kept burning out every 3-4 months; the card reader (their SSD) wouldn't work, or they'd just blink some other error message. I thought they were just cheaply made ($35 after all). Anyway, long story short, I got a fan and the last one has been working for over a year without issues.
Games are also expected to be battery pigs, so doing 60+ FPS GPU rendering instead of however native UIs are rendered helps. Everyone certainly COULD just write their apps as 2d OpenGL but laptop battery life would suffer for it.

I had a similar experience. I came in for a "career day" thing to talk about Software Development. I did not get much love. Some of the kids perked up a little when I said I used to work next to Xbox testers and watched them play games all day long.
The Domain Prospector Turning Stray URLs into Real Businesses
No it isn't. Society is like AWS. It contains many organizations, which each contain many accounts, which contain many services, which contain many instances, any one of which may be multithreaded, or not. "Society" does not actively work to solve all problems at the same time, just like every single piece of computation inside AWS is not necessarily multithreaded.
Suspicion of hypocrisy or even bad character should not affect the strength of scientist's arguments. It may increase the scrutiny of those arguments and decrease the fanboy attitude around them. There is nothing wrong with that.

If you take the default attitude that every academic is devil incarnate, then look at their argumentation separate from their character, you should be able to stay more objective.
It doesn't fix those things, but it does help deal with them, at least where the long-term financial impacts are concerned.

As for taxing incoming foreigners to give to Americans, that's not what most Americans want. What most Americans want (and i don't mean the white nationalists) is to not lose their job to a same or less skilled person for less pay.

Having fully experienced the dotcom implosion and subsequent H1B and outsourcing fest, I can attest that the only two groups that gained were the tech companies who lowered their expenses and the handlers/harvesters who brought people from their countries to the US, kept half of their hourly wage, and packed them 6+ to an apartment.
To any American immigrating to the UK £400 for healthcare is a steal.
Agree, every day companies merge and reduce their workforce and who's getting axed first? Expensive american workforce.

Pretty soon they are replaced by foreign nationals either onshore or offshore using "workforce augmentation" companies that are consultancies

Let's talk about the entire picture, if we want to discuss immigration "fairness"
These are not workarounds. The code looks complicated only because it tries to be portable and fast. Otherwise just the last #else block would be enough.

Also they know, because it's what those functions they call are for. man explicit_bzero for example. It says:

"The explicit_bzero() function performs the same task as bzero(). It differs from bzero() in that it guarantees that compiler optimizations will not remove the erase operation if the compiler deduces that the operation is "unnecessary"."
This is basically a free market argument. If something is superior then it shouldn't need to convince people to choose it, because people will naturally choose it over other inferior options.
Not all software developers complete their undergraduate degree and move into industry. Some go onto PhD programs and exit with higher starting salaries than those with just undergraduate degrees. Getting a PhD from a top school in machine learning makes you an attractive candidate.

I noticed something when I graduated a few years ago that only became more true as I started looking at hiring new graduates. People that would have normally gone the PreMed/PreLaw/Investment Banking route are changing majors half-way to CS. The students changed from easygoing hacker types to hyper-competitive types.
That is one option, but you can also architect the system such that the client holds most of the state either in the URL or in a hidden field (signed by the server to prevent tampering, and optionally encrypted). You'll still need the server to track some aspects of the session, for example to prevent accidentally submitting the same order multiple times.
Yes, it's people who break social contract. The sin of AirBnB isn't that they create those people where they didn't exist before. The sin of AirBnB is that they organize those people on a massive scale and put them in a position where breaking the social contract is the default behavior.

Tourists are noisy and careless. That's to some extent forgivable - tourism is a leisure activity. Hotels and other legit tourism-oriented businesses are prepared for it and mostly take care of it (and are appropriately regulated to make sure they do). But take the same tourists doing the same things and sprinkle them around neighborhoods where regular people live and raise families - in that context, their behavior becomes disturbing and destructive to the quality of those neighborhoods. It's breaking social contract.

The sin of AirBnB is that they know they're making the world a worse place, and they don't care. They just keep doing it.
Fuzzing seems like a really useful test for this.

Either way, I agree I'm not really subscribed to the idea that DIY life critical systems are a good idea beyond POC.
This is why American health care costs are so out of control: going into the medical field is a golden ticket, a sure-fire way to get rich.

Now, are doctors inventing anything novel? No. They are like body plumbers. The few who are inventing new techniques or are some kind of superstar--yes, they have earned their high salaries.

But the garden-variety doctor making a quarter-million dollars a year--totally unjustified. Until we reduce doctor, hospital, medical-device manufactures and big Pharma income, we will always be in this worst-case situation.
"Every developer is trying to pull the market share towards themselves."

The first fight was between the closed source and the open community. Open community went blazing fast when compared to big corporates for web application builders. (visual basic/ oracle products / SAP builders...)

Second fight was among the programming language preferences that people adopted. (php/java/la la)

Third fight was between the backend and front end developers. Front end developers raced forward. (zzzzp)

Browser vendors started providing features that front end developers could use and need not rely on backend. Front end developers are playing the fight game effortlessly.

Now, there is a fight between browser vendors and a race among the front end developers.

A fight who will win market share in browser usage and A fight who will gain most of the stars in the github.

Backend developers just sit back with popcorn and enjoying the circus show.
If those companies operate within our country we have an obligation to ensure they are following ethical standards everywhere. If you don't you directly fund any unethical standards being enforced elsewhere.

It doesn't matter who it is, whether it's NSA or Russia or Sweden if Google is cooperating with them in unethical ways you should do something about it. Apathy and a blind eye is why corporations can get away with working people to death so we can live in comfort. People may have excuses for that but there is no excuse for allowing them to go so far as what has been written in dystopia literature.

Also just step back for a moment and try to think of scenarios in which people would have to apply your "don't fight opposing systems". I feel you will find it does not apply to a great many things.
The reason why diversity is good is because it helps break down enclaves and bubbles and let's the dominant culture play a bigger role. When people from one nation migrate en masse are they forced to integrate into their new environment and culture or they do they form ethnic and cultural enclaves that resist the dominant culture and form a concrete in group that resists outsiders, including the native population?

Country quotas have existed across the globe and history for a reason. People inherently have in group preferences, they are nationalist, that includes migrants.
Interesting -- I'll look into that for NYC. I'm CTO at a startup based in Toronto, but we have a tiny space in Manhattan so it's pretty easy for me to schedule some business there and have my family tag along.

You are correct. Thanks for pointing that out; I tested it out this morning and verified I was able to send/receive messages on the desktop program with my phone in airplane mode.
> Can I just take a moment to praise the article's presentation?

I would disagree. It feels irritating to me when some some parts of article content are scrolling and some parts are still (unless still parts are some irrelevant borders).

Also the CPU load is big, which causes my computer fan to run full speed during scrolling.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding (the article was fairly short and I haven't looked into this elsewhere) - but it seems to me that this is flimsy at best.

I don't run scientific studies so if anyone can correct or educate me I'd be happy to learn - but can you really get any solid scientific conclusions by examining a single smile at a single point of time, in a small group (one yearbook, 141 photos)?

Certainly such an insignificant event such as a smile, in an uncontrolled environment without knowing any surrounding factors, in such a small set of people shouldn't be extrapolated and generalized this way?
Yes, states do all sorts of awful immoral things. But blanket punishments go against the post-war consensus regarding fundamental human rights.

Not comparing the backlogs to Japanese internment, but if you look up the history of immigration law you'll realize that the country limits in the 1965 law always had racist intent.

Hacking the operation of an insulin pump for your child seems so insanely dangerous I could not even conceive of attempting it.

The other things she talks about, such as helping autistic people recognize emotions, could be enormously beneficial and much less potentially harmful.

My understand of part of the autism spectrum is difficulty empathizing, not being able to understand cues of emotion. I have the benefit of being able to understand pretty well that words I've just spoken or actions I've taken have hurt somebody's feelings. If an AI can flash up an image of "this person is now sad" right after someone lacking that ability has done or said something, they have the opportunity to apologize or say it differently. That could greatly improve their social interactions and personal happiness.

Stop parroting these criticisms of OpenPGP without offering concrete, working replacements that are widely adopted and have open standards.

Some kid recently tried to have OpenPGP support deprecated from Golang's crypto-x package. And that's fine, but do not pull stunts like this without offering a concrete, working and widely adopted replacement. Otherwise, they are just that, publicity stunts with a lot of sound and fury but no solution. That's not helpful to anyone.

A more mature thing to do would be to suggest deprecation in 3 to 5 years and offer a plan of how to get there with other specific tools (some of which do not exist today).

Right, so the owner is potentially breaking the social contract by maybe allowing someone without respect for others to stay in their home (though ratings systems are generally used exactly to allow this type of vetting in advance).

But the guest is not automatically breaking the social contract by staying in an AirBnB, which is what was implied by the OC.
Nevermind age, the child also has autism. They may not be able to consent in any circumstance. I have a child with autism. He's a so-called "high functioning" autistic individual (goes to public school, has social interaction with peers outside of school, etc.). He's showing signs of above average intelligence and talent in some things and it would be easy for someone to think he understands "consent" at this level. Sure, parents are able to give consent for their kids due to their minority age, but there are limits to that power. This blog post was unsettling, and not in a "oh you're just afraid of hackers doing what they do" sort of way.
Both of those already exist. There are coding groups and pages for black software engineers as well as outreach programs for the handicapped. The point is that historically various kinds of people are underrepresented in companies. More exposure seeks to help reduce that gap and mind you, this is not discrimination. People are conflating hiring practices with exposure.

As an aside, you're engaging in identity politics right now.

His account has a published package available that was pushed about 3 months ago - hardly dormant, and based in their disputes process [0] it seems unlikely anyway:

> To dispute a user name [...] After 4 weeks, if the owner has not responded, support will address your request. The ultimate outcome is at their discretion and judgement.

And this statement on squatting confirms that it would be 'extremely unlikely':

> We are extremely unlikely to transfer control of a user name, as it is totally valid to be an npm user and never publish any packages: for instance, you might be part of an organization or need read-only access to private packages. If a user has not logged into their account in a long time, we may consider transferring a name if it is requested by a new user.

The problem would be someone working on the GCC optimizer deciding, “Wouldn’t it be great if we could do all our fancy optimizations on functions with inline assembly?”
In Julia every function has a number of associated variants. We call them methods, not to be confused with methods in OOP.

So for every function there is a table of methods. Each method takes a different number of arguments or arguments with different types.

The REPL is able to introspect this table. So when you type a function name in Julia and hit tab, it will essentially dump this table. If you start filling in some arguments, it will use the types of those arguments to filter this table, showing you the only remaining choices.

You can even go in reverse. The function `methodswith` allows you to provide a type and Julia will search through the methods of every function to show every method accepting that type as one of its arguments.

Julia stores a lot of metadata with object and functions. You will be surprised how powerful this system is once you start using it. E.g. you can jump to the definition of a function, that was generated on the fly in a for loop. The function when created keeps track of what file and line number it was created, even if that happened through meta programming.
If we expect "superhumans" to look at us like cattle, does this reflect the idea that we look at "subhumans" like cattle? Isn't that just projecting our own moral failings onto other people?

(So far the evidence seems to point towards the notion that you can't increase human performance by pushing along a single axis. We are near a local optimum in a massive, multidimensional space. Pushing too much in any one direction will move us farther from the local optimum.)
Not buying this. It was previously told that the project was suspended while in reality it wa still worked on in secret. Chances are they will terminate Dragonfly, but start working on it under a different banner.

I think I'm probably more pro-revolution that most, but c'mon, really? You really think that basic rules of human courtesy are the boot on the neck of humanity?

We're talking about something much more fundamental than social norms you might call patriarchal or cis-/hetero-normative or anything like that. This is the kind of behavior that keeps you from getting punched. And most people are explicitly taught these behaviors as children, whether in pre-school / kindergarten or just by being around other children at all.

Surely we can identify much more important factors propping up the current social order.
The way I navigate google results is go down the google list and to open each of the ones I want to check in new tab.

That way I don't to wait for the pages to load, as they load while I'm launching the next etc.

Then I go through the tabs, closing the ones that are useless.

Not sure how Google would deal with this.
Here is an evil idea: hotels could start providing smart speakers integrated in the rooms. Call it Smart Room™. This way you can ask the room where the nearest supermarket is or whatever, that would be convenient for an out-of-town trip wouldn't it? Obviously the hotel would record all the requests and then sell the data to local shops / marketers, or even customize the answers for a fee.

There is currently a debate on some Airbnb forums about smart speakers, whether they are a nice-touch or just creepy.
One big difference is you can make money directly from YouTube and Twitch if you have many followers through ad revenue sharing. On those other platforms, you have to get more creative in monetizing your popularity, e.g. striking a deal with advertisers directly to do sponsored posts.
I feel like you could possibly get popular support for it here in the US, but almost certainly not from businesses and their lobbyists.
"Why do people create things?"

> the hotel cabal.

"Hotel cabal" is bullshit. Slightly less bullshit than Uber's "taxi mafia", but still a steaming pile of bovine excrement.

AirBnB is a multinational corporation. It's displacing not just large hotel chains, but also all the local legal forms of short-term accommodation - small hotels, hostels, motels, BnBs, etc.

It really bewilders me that people have fallen for the same reality-inverting marketing propaganda not once, but twice. AirBnB and Uber aren't underdogs fighting cabals, they're SV-money-pumped cabals fighting small local businesses.
