An interesting angle to this: if your phone is powerful enough to transcribe audio in real time without any external processing, and considering how cheap it is to transfer and store text, how long before autocratic countries start persisting everything you say ?
Alternatively, the popular social media platforms should simply refuse to do business in countries that engage in censorship like this.
And a sledge hammer

That's how I got an o2 sensor out that was completely locked. I spent four hours on it previously. A torch a cheap wrench and a sledge later I had it replaced
Comparing the maltodextrin content of granulated splenda to sugar is completely irrelevant to the question of whether nonnutritive sweeteners are themselves harmful.
Yes. It's already been established that Twitter accounts used for government business that block people are violating the first amendment [0]. Twitter deplatforming government officials ought to count as similar censorship.

Have you tried transferring 40TB from 3x spinning disk HDD… let alone an actively running DB infrastructure?

The maximum sustained transfer rate of a 16TB Seagate Exos X16 is 261MB/s. That would take 17 hours to transfer at full speed.

Not that the data storage would look like that, but even at 100Gbps networking operating at 80% (about what you'd achieve realistically) it would take 70 minutes to transfer 40TB at full wire speeds.

But we're not talking about full-wire speeds. We're talking about exporting from an Oracle DB and importing to an entirely different DB. The file transfer task isn't the hard bit, it's the actual data migration along the way. That's a massive undertaking and I'm surprised any of the migration tasks were able to complete with such a small amount of downtime.
It certainly is biology. Your circadian rhythm is strongly influenced by the timing of day (well, blue) light being received by your eyes. It also shifts naturally as you age - for example, in your teenage years you tend to fall asleep and wake up later.

There are also interesting effects like the significant differences in school performance between students living at the eastern edge of a time zone vs living at the western.
I'm happy to take your 88k/month "nothing" from you, that would be life-changing for me.
Haha, man, parents have had all these limitations imposed since ages and so many of us learned to be what we are by dodging those limitations.

Funny, I told myself I'd be more open when I was an adult and here we all are, doing the same thing.
This analogy clearly doesn't hold up. It's more like a very successful private broadcast channel, but where making an effective public broadcast channel is too difficult for the government, so we pretend that the private channel is "like a public channel".

No company owns all the internet, thus using the analogy that a few companies own the entire radio spectrum doesn't make sense.
Some deprecation warnings have been enabled for a developers main source files recently. Though not in third-party libraries, which would be frustrating to the end-user.

For that matter, yes, but it is irrelevant for hiring since I'm not going to listen to music or discuss it at work. If we go to another aspect of my personal preferences, I dislike jazz, and rather indifferent to rap, but jazz beats rap for potential hires.

In Germany, the tv/radio broadcasters can refuse to broadcast the (otherwise mandatory) election spots - if they run afoul of the law, which means they're inciting hatred. This refusal is rare and always contested: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wahlwerbespot
That’s fair, but it’s definitely not a single person and not even a set that can be practically enumerated (since voting is anonymous).

Id also say that assigning moral responsibility to a group of people that large is really odd as well.

Parents need functional tools. Apple providing broken tools is counter-productive to empowering parents to take responsibility.
Good question, but no more than a local newspaper owned by an Australian: the company has a local subsidiary which is legally responsible. There’s been instances where (Uber IIRC) country managers were jailed (for a day).

In general, legislation in Europe on elections is quite strict so it’s unlikely American more free approach to speech will be so strict it’s seen as an interference. For instance, a politician in France has been fined €15k for saying racist things once. With that, you have fewer “Mexico… they are rapists…” to deal with. Politics in Hungary, Poland, Italy might make that less true soon.

Outside of Europe, that’s more common and social media company routinely get into trouble for either censoring or permitting lèse-Majesté, Nobel-prize laureate defending ethnic cleansing, apostasy or defending lynching apostates. It’s a large part of local managers’ role to dance with absurd debates.

And yet there are kids observing this play out right now, who never knew a world where Twitter (or more broadly, a mass communication "brand" of some sort) wasn't the primary platform by which world leaders directly communicate with their polities, not to mention each other.

The perceptive shift in which it is subconsciously accepted as normal that "any given world leader can be silenced by corporate entity XYZ" (and that conventional diplomatic apparatus is seen as a fusty, high-friction secondary channel to be bypassed when politically expedient) this goes a lot deeper than Twitter or Trump and may have significant repercussions once generational effects start kicking in.
Visual D with Visual Studio is the gold standard, with full debugging, autocomplete, and static analysis support.

Maybe they want regulation. Currently they get attacked no matter what they do. Regulation allows them to wash their hands of their messiest issue and when anyone gets angry, they can point to the regulations and blame the government.

Fully MySQL/PostgreSQL-compatible DBMS with automatic failover across AZs so you get upgrades all the time, fully managed, without ever having downtime. It's really good. Access management can be through IAM.

Within the past couple of years, I dropped my wallet while downtown and when I got home my wallet was waiting for me there. Was impressed that they went to the trouble of delivering it.
> Yeah - for a person who is adjusted to only living in big cities then sure

I've never lived in any big city. Literally never. Not even close, always 20+ minutes away from the major city.

The thing is: suburbia itself is a network of smaller cities. Buies Creek has no "smaller city" near it. Buies Creek IS the city.

--------

To continue your Atherton example... Atherton is a suburb of ___Palo Alto___, not a suburb of San Fran. It is a brisk 4-mile bike-ride from Atherton to Palo Alto and back, you don't even need a car if you live in Atherton and commute to Palo Alto.

There's NOTHING walking or biking distance to Buies Creek, NC. Rural is more about "distance from nearest metro".

--------

Buies Creek NC is 40-minutes to Raleigh. This is rural by my experience. True, Buies Creek NC is "less Rural" for people who are used to 2-hour drives (Coulee City to Spokane), but a 40-minute drive away from a big city is Rural by most people's definition of Rural.
The easiest way to find the line is to cross it.
The whole thing looks like a clever PR move pursuing several goals:
a) advertise to leaders who hasn't joined jet;
b) appeal to authoritarian leaders who like to ban/firewall platforms in their countries, and thus gain competitive advantage;
c) please Trump.

And the whole thing feels disgusting.
Are you being serious? I can't tell.
> you have no actual evidence about why Apple implemented this feature

You mean, other than what is clearly explained in the article?

> and also zero insight into what incentivizes Apple

Humans get tired from being up for a certain number of hours and also from waning daylight. In teens, both of these are delayed relative to adults and children. You can send a teen to bed early but their bodies aren’t trying to sleep.
There's at least a reasonable argument that the scale plays a role. It could be somewhat similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Jones#Justice... - the expectation of privacy is violated because digital tools allow a larger breadth of surveillance that crosses a line.
Not trying to be glib, but it makes money for twitter. Trump has been absolutely amazing for Twitter as a business.
Thanks! I believe that being able to publish a PWA alongside an App Store app is a magic power for products that have a purpose as a web app through link sharing and an app in the stores. Why risk losing users to a download when you can ease them into your world through a PWA first?
Has there been anything unpalatable shared by or sent from @potus? (I could check, but I’ve blocked the other account for my sanity.) As I understand, most of the less palatable insults come through Trump’s personal account.
> "We want to make it clear today that the accounts of world leaders are not above our policies entirely..."

Thakn you, Twitter. Your bold stance will make it clear where you draw the line, and also where you draw the new line after the President tramples over your line.
It's also a heritable trait, at least based on the slew of research I found when googling impulse control genes.

That doesn't mean it can't be improved, but it does mean we should be respectful of people who may have a much harder time with it. Not everyone can meet a societal baseline that's challenging enough for people deemed to be normative; a person with one arm is plenty likely to be good at basketball, but imposing qualification rules based on their capability to do free throws might be a bit out of bounds... so to speak.

That's what algorithm (self-)regulations (and gripes along what Mozilla published here) would aim to address.

How is this going to please Trump?
So fucking what.

Let's just take a moment to consider the total fucking bullshit going on for a second.

One: It's called fucking "Screen Time" and that right there speaks volumes about how weak the entire premise really is. It's not about security. It's not about placing serious locks on the device. It's doesn't even stop financial transactions from taking place inside apps. It does no such thing. It just rings a little bell, and tut tut, hides the obvious icons.

Two: While I really would like some serious fucking security to lock the fucking device down, we know what the score was, when they stripped out the old "Restrictions" functionality, and buried it all deep inside the byzantine "Screen Time" interface. It was about retarded fucking soccer moms watching Katie Couric and Matt Lauer every fucking morning on the Today show, listening to Dr. Phil ramble on, while Oprah prattles about fucking dopamine hits. It's all a load of fucking shit, provoked by whining from the stupidest fucks on earth.

Three: Amid the crisis mode that slow news days unleashed, about whether or not Facebook is actually cigarettes, kids run fucking circles around parents that are essentially powerless to control rampaging teenagers. It's fucking over, before Apple even weighs in. Parents are fucking stupid, and have been for a long, long time. At least since December 31, 1959.

Four: Little, little kids. Like five, six, seven, eight. Listen. The internet is a dark, dark, fucking place. When your kids learn about bad words, and racism, and double standards like how you can't say "nigger" unless you're black, it's game over. But up until that point, just fucking keep them away from technology. It's nothing but downers, so shelter them until it's a lost cause. By the time they hit fifth grade, they'll be watching Sasha Grey take fifty dicks from a room full of scumbags on steroids, begging for more, while gagging on cum, and then accepting industry awards in gala ceremonies for it, while completely fucking high out of her mind. But, until then, just don't let them look at any of it.

Can't people just retweet with comment? Not very familiar with Twitter, so genuine question.
What about my individual freedom of expression to repeat what someone else said?

If someone else says something first, am I not allowed to repeat it?

Like, let's say I heard something in the park. It would be ridiculous for someone to try and stop me from physically saying the same thing that someone else said.
Twitter wouldn't be anywhere near as relevant without world leaders, and by world leaders, we really mean the shitposter-in-chief. A sizable fraction of their engagement over the past four years is directly attributable there, and the second and third order effects are ridiculous.

Twitter's moderation and content policies are such a mess that it is quite possible to get away with spewing hate and violence with impunity, or to get banned for the most anodyne and innocuous remarks. It's entirely reactive and arbitrary.
How is retweeting any different from quoting someone and linking to the tweet, though? Or is that "leveraged" speech as well?
Great points. Clearly nobody at Apple or Google working on these kinds of features is a parent. There are so many big misses.
How much do you take? 100ug is fairly mild, really doesn't seem to deconstruct you
Back in 2006 I cofounded a company called IMSafer. My co-founders went on to be S09 class with Y!Combinator.

We grew up as hackers and thought we could end around the problem of kids removing safe guards to our software. What we quickly found was that (surprising no one at all, least of all us) kids have way more time on their hands and are willing to expend way more energy to remove blockers than parents do to enforce them.

It's a tricky issue - kids and online. We actively encouraged parents to have dialog with their kids about what they were doing online. The issue we were attempting to solve was keeping bad people out of the child's social networks. All of the other solutions were, and still do, focus on keeping porn off the computer. That's a doomed system. Parents need to be involved and have a on-going dialog. I believed it when we founded IMSafer 13 years ago, and I believe it now (as a parent with 3 kids, two of them teenagers).

Our service did a lot of very novel things for the time (machine based analysis of chat conversations looking for patterns of predation), but I continue to be amazed at how much energy we put into the "but my kids keep uninstalling it" problem. We came up with some pretty good solutions, which were P95 effective, but (again, surprising no one on the technical team) the kids who figured out how to circumvent came up with some pretty amazing solves.

The most impressive was this one kid who basically took over their parent's account, gave themselves admin access, set their parents to minimal access, but then changed specific .exe file pointers to give the parents the perception that they still had admin access to their machine when they were trying to run applications.
I get what you're saying, but really, it's kind of like saying of an ordinary person - sure, they robbed that convenience store, but really, when you look at how much time they put into preparation, they only made $5/hr, so they are hardly "cashing in".
I don't see how that's different. Again you can manufacture those precursors after careful reading (that's the fundamental idea behind organic synthesis.)

What a strange coincidence: just a couple of days ago our local Nextdoor had someone who found a wallet in the street.

She found his debit or credit card in the wallet and went to the local branch of his bank. They called him and he got in touch with her, and wallet was reunited with its owner.
To my knowledge just giving people who need it money doesn’t encourage them to save it, but rather to spend it on what they need, which actually stimulates the economy. This is far more beneficial than leaving it as idle capital or in a savings account.

I may have generalized without meaning to. I agree that there are segments of the population my point wouldn't apply to (children being one).

However, I personally find it scary when an organization with as much cachet as Mozilla encourages people to absolve themselves of responsibility.

Not that my view holds any moderation weight, but for me (and as far as my up/down vote goes) that might've been fine if you'd expanded on it more, exactly what is 'only in rich countries' and how something's specifically different in not-rich countries, i.e. sharing some insight and adding something less low effort to the discussion.

'only in rich countries' on its own just reads like a Reddit-esque meme/jokey dismissal.
MIDI – Not an ideal data format for editing (2000)
I've been working with Dat, which I think is similar to IPFS and really enjoying it. Being able to modify your site after you publish it is hugely useful (previous versions are always accessible - edits are stored in an append only log). It has its own problems (editing from multiple computers is risky but that's being worked on), but in my opinion that's essential for a decentralized web
Wonderful.

Now can we pay attention to all of the research saying that homework creates stress but doesn't work, and have schools stop assigning so much?

More precisely, the research shows that homework done right helps, done wrong hurts, and the result is that more homework increases the correlation between parent's socioeconomic status and student performance. But on average is approximately net neutral for learning.

But there is one very strong correlation. More homework means more conflict in the home...
He was repeating Twitter's own talking points.

Twitter itself states that it represents these values.

And according to their own definition, that they self proclaim, that is a lie.

No way it's that easy. These hacks span multiple apps, factory resets, etc.

Also, this is all expected - just like all other parts of internet security, it's going to be a cycle of hacks and patches.
I know how people use it. I think it's an idiotic term.
Trump has been deemed to be using his "personal" account for official business by the courts, and as such they've ruled that the constitution prevents him from blocking people on his "personal" account.
