Whotargetsme is a good start, but I think this election is one where fighting algorithmically targeted disinformation is going to be absolutely critical.
A good example of why I think "terrorist" and "terrorism" communicate almost nothing other than "I think they are the bad guys". That sort of statement is ripe for debate.

On the other hand if you say that someone was arrested for arson, assault, or unauthorized possession or explosives then some objective reasoning can sort things out rather than having to fall back on an endlessly subjective debate of what is or isn't terrorism.

The phrase "hate crime" is another example of this problem. Someone being arrested for assault is pretty straightforward to investigate and adjudicate. If you also want the police to make some additional determination as to their motive and thoughts in order to make it a "hate crime" then everything is much more complicated. How about just punish appropriately for the assault and move on.

Note, I'm just talking about the use of language here, not trying to discern who are the bad guys in this particular dispute.

> Price controls plus a political mandate to invest in green industry has left it with few resources for maintaining existing infrastructure.

But, until their long failure to invest in required maintenance started manifesting in massive liabilities for fires in 2017, plenty of money to return $billions to shareholders in dividends; clearly, in your understanding, those funds weren't a fungible resource that could have instead been invested in maintenance.

(An understanding not shared by the federal judge overseeing their criminal probation for their felony conviction in the 2010 San Bruno gas explosion, who—in finding their actions leading to the 2017 and 2018 fires to be a violation of that probation—placed the blame for the fires squarely on PG&E’s decision to, for years, prioritize dividends over required maintenance.)
Looks like it's mostly fuel, with some help from weather: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/08/14/wildfires...
The real guilty party here is the state government for privatising a natural monopoly/utility and therefore having introduced a profit motive.

If PG&E is effectively a state run corporation (which is correct - providing essential utilities will ultimately fall upon the state as a provider of last resort), then it's most efficient to remove the private elements of it.

> League of Legends has a cheating problem

No it doesn't. Cheaters are incredibly rare in ranked games.

Cheating is an easy way to get your account banned super fast and creating a new account is a huge time investment.

You won't find any experienced people saying cheating is a problem in that game.
Well the obvious thing to do is to bury the ones in wind problem/fire risk areas
It’s called ‘millenium’ non-plural.
It's done to make it harder for cheat makers and cheaters to pin down what exactly got them caught. It's a common tactic across many games.

So Facebook are suing NSO for having hacked Apples or Googles software?

My point is once end to end encryption is enabled -- no MITM vulnearabilities should exist. Kind of like how password managers protect your password -- not even they can see it.

I think this is indicative that Facebook doesn't enable true end to end encryption so they can read messages themselves but advertise that they don't to attract the privacy dollar.

And your second example kind of prove my point. When it it written out like that it become obvious that you are trying to compare diffent quantities. There is clearly something wrong when you are trying to join on order_created_at = customer_created_at which isn't at all as clear with your way of writing.

> How clean is it?

It's as clean as any official Win32 API which uses their privilege system to restrict/allow accesses to each and any bit of information on the process state and/or memory.

This is possible using CreateThread() [1] which creates a remote thread inside another process execution context.

My understanding is that unexec() was more about making a snapshot of the whole process state to an executable on disk.
You’re wrong, the sizes of both input files are commonly considered when analysing algorithms that work on two files. Consider a problem that could be solved by sorting one of the files and then stepping through both files item by item (not saying that any meaningful problem with this property exists, it’s just an example). Then you would have a complexity of O(n log n + m) assuming n is the size of the file being sorted.

There is valuable information in running time being linear in the size of both files. You could define n as the combined size if you wanted to, but that could be confusing.

Where giant multi-national corporations the size of Intuit or H&R set up HQs has less to do with their politics, and more to do with their bottom lines and the talent they are trying to aquire.

Intuit needs developers, UX/UI designers, entire tech infrastructure as they are a SaaS and Software Business. H&R Block is a franchising company with some enterprisey software (that's a lot more complicated to use than any of the TurboTax editions) that the tax preppers use.

A lot less tech goes into H&R Block than Intuit, so H&R Block can be in a lowish-noish tax state like Missouri or Kansas and take the decent developers that they have to maintain and update their backend tax-prep software.
I can count with one hand the amount of state constitutions that allow the sudden declaration of independence of a part of their territory.

Self-determination is a right you reject when you step foot on Spain (and practically every other country).

We might have to change that, I don't know, but the Spanish constitution is no fascist rule, or else almost all modern democratic states are, too.

It is very complicated.

The India Stack is a name given to a family of APIs, open standards, and infrastructure components that allow a user in India to demand services digitally. As of 2019, the services the India Stack offers are proving identity, completing KYC, making digital payments, signing documents digitally and sharing of data. As the article notes, While the list of APIs is growing, some of the APIs listed - Authentication, KYC, eSign, UPI - are now mature, well understood, and enable efficient delivery of services in India.

This article is written by the technologists who designed and built the stack from top to bottom. The Indiastack experience offers multiple lessons in technology, systems, and regulatory architectures.

Sorry to say this but your understanding on Israel - Saudi relations is poor: they are excellent.
I don’t blame you since the media usually carry that narrative.

Anyone who can protect the rulers from the people is in excellent terms with the rulers. The rest is just posturing.
Taxes is a red herring. Most of this area is forest—“maintaining it” doesn’t involve clearing trees. The only reason to do that would be for the safety of the power lines. And depending where you are in Europe, the money for stuff like that comes from the same place as in California. A government regulatory agency (in California, the CPUC) decides what prices the utility can charge based on what it perceives as being “prudent investments” by the utility plus a small profit. The money comes not from taxes, but from rate payers.

The reason this kind of maintenance failure happens in the US is because our public regulators are more short sighted than your public regulators. They are political appointees that keep rates too low to keep voters happy. The US has some of the lowest electric rates in the world: https://www.ovoenergy.com/guides/energy-guides/average-elect.... (California’s are high for the US, but still very low compared to Europe.)
> Microsoft (GitHub) blocks the Tsunami Democràtic to avoid the issues of their 'app'

Is how I'd translate it and depending on who you are, you might just ignore the GitHub bit if you have no idea who that is and just assume Microsoft's doing this outright. It is confusing, but the subtitle specifically calls GitHub a service owned by Microsoft. They then mention since when Microsoft has owned GitHub, which I'm not sure how accurate it is or isn't. Is it wholly owned by Microsoft at this time? Though as others have said, it's an existing policy.
This already exists. They are called custom elements.

> Bio today is where information technology was 50 years ago: on the precipice of touching all of our lives.

Bio has been touching all of our lives for a long time now, from vaccines to food to basic research yielding large advancements in medical understanding.

What we are on the precipice of may be personalized or customized biochemistry, which is something we desperately need if we ever want to attack diseases like cancer, enable radical regenerative intervention, or tackle the effects of aging.

On a side note, I feel that we should put a moratorium on the phrase "X is eating the world". Right now we're using it whenever something needs to be hyped and it's becoming quite cringy.

I don't think the meaning currently given to cognates in other languages is relevant to the question of what a word means in modern English. In Spanish, bizarro means "brave", and recordar means "to recall from memory"; this does not provide any evidence that "bizarre" means "brave" in English, or that "recording" means "recalling from memory" in English. (Although, as it turns out, it once did.)

No, most people don't need an ambulance because they can walk in to the ER. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be in the ER, just that an extra hour walking there isn't going to matter. (in hindsight 80% shouldn't be there, but the symptoms of something that needs to be handled now and a trivial ache are generally the same so you go just in case which inflates the numbers)

> PG&E is being turned into a witch to hang on the stake.

Are you saying that they didn't neglect preventive maintenance while returning billions to shareholders in dividends?

> California is going to catch fire whether the power is on or not.

That California is going to—as it always has—havr fires, including major ones, with or without utility mismanagement is not the issue in dispute. PG&E isn't being blamed for that.

PG&E is being blamed for the degree to which it's failure to maintain it's infrastructure while returning profits to it's investors has contributed to the amount of fire damage. And, yes, climate and other factors which increase overall for risk are a multiplier on that, but if the hadn't been deferrring maintenance for years, that would be a multiplier on zero.

> Sure, from the perspective of non-smokers.

From the perspective of any moral human being. Not intentionally harming others is kind of fundamental.

> A decent non smoker can also excuse themselves, in order not to disturb the smokers.

Non-smokers came first. And there's more of them. Plus, non-smokers are at best inconvenience to smokers, while smokers are a health hazard to non-smokers.

> Lets say in a place where 95% are smokers, or even in the place there are 5% smokers but those 5% has a lot of power/influence. Do you think there will be law againts smokers ?

Not likely. If the smokers are decent people, there won't be a problem; if they aren't, they obviously won't vote in laws that inconvenience them. But that only tells about deficiencies of the regulatory process, which optimizes for the loudest voices instead of maximizing good for everyone.

> Like I said before, I am fine with tracking because the benefit outweight the cost, it gives me something in return, free or cheap service.

And like I said, that's why current legal standard people are leaning towards is not to ban it, but to make it opt-in. So if you're fine with tracking, you can have it. The problem is with the infectious, anticompetitive nature of tracking - once one party does it to offset their costs, all other competitors have to follow suit or risk getting outcompeted.
