What are you referring to, exactly? There certainly is no enforceable law in the United States against LGBT content. There theoretically are restrictions on "obscenity," but they are virtually nonexistent in practice. The only law I can think of that resembles what you're describing in any way is our, indeed, quite aggressive ban on child pornography. And I'm no expert on Canadian child pornography laws, but I'll bet Canada isn't too friendly to that content either.

The theoretical point is true enough, that American content restrictions would generally wind up being exported abroad. The key difference is, however, that we do not actually have Chinese-style content restrictions.
Europe is much more relaxed about nudity (exposed breasts in prime time TV are fine) but much more restrictive about violence and gore. Instead US companies enforce US standards on us.

Even child porn isn't an easy subject. Everyone can agree that liking 12 year olds sexually is pedophilia and images about that are child porn. But when we are taking about 16 year olds it's muddier since we are taking about child porn outside of pedophilia.

And that's just (north western) Europe who are culturally very similar to the US.

Binary wheels aren't out from everyone you mentioned yet (they are for NumPy and SciPy... but the maintainers of most of the packages you mention appear to usually wait for their next releases before getting the wheels out), but a NumPy + SciPy + Matplotlib + Pandas + Scikit-learn setup was functional before 3.8.0 was released (I had one spinning during the betas, one just has to be willing to compile things from source usually).

You missed a pretty important part. I don’t see how that could be the result of anything other than society?
Wow that's very sad to hear, I use mix all the time
Sweet, well here's at least one mental illness I'll never have to worry about...
There's a big enviromental problem with the notion that things are either approved/acceptable or not; binary.

Neonicotinoids are probably good compared to a lot of alternatives. But by being one of few approved choices, they are used to such a huge extent that minor problems become major.

Another example is gasoline. It's very clean, especially with a catalytic converter. It's so clean that one of the worst things you can say about it is: if billions of people use gasoline, it upsets the balance of CO2.

If we use a little more variety, even if average "badness" seems worse, we will be better off. But our policies push us toward homogeneity.

Never trust American government, everything they say is ALWAYS a lie:

- They lied about national security threat from Huawei in order to get a trade deal. Trump said USA will remove all the sanctions on Huawei if china agree to cooperate on the trade deal. So, there is no threat at all.

- They lied about the chemical weapons in Iraq to start the war.

- They lied to Gaddafi and after he agreed to disarm Libya and destroy all weapons of mass destruction, he was killed.

- They promised to remove all sanctions on Iran, if they stop their nuclear program. Iran did it. After the program was stopped and all parties confirmed that Iran fully comply with all the requirements of the agreement, USA introduced new sanctions against Iran...

The Winds of Architecture Changes at the USENIX ATC 2019
From my point of view, the Python release cycle presents several challenges in terms of two-way communication with users.

Ideally, we want people to download the beta releases and give feedback on their real world experience with new features while there is still time to make changes. (That is almost the entire point of a beta-release accompanied by a feature freeze).

Actual practice tends to fall short of the ideal for several reasons:

* Not many users download the beta and try out the features. On the bug tracker, we tend to get very little feedback on our beta releases.

* Some features land with little to no documentation (the walrus operator, for example). This makes it difficult for users to assess the feature.

* The PEP process is decisive. Once a PEP is approved, it is too late for developers to give feedback. The feature will happen regardless of user feedback.

* Downstream tooling needs time to update, so it is difficult to try out a beta when you can't get your dependencies to run (MyPy, Black, requests, etc).
YouTube isn't hip enough to take away TikTok market share in any worthwhile amount.

There are a few US companies that might, but Google isn't going to be it. Social sharing isn't in Google's blood, and they've never succeeded before with their $1,000,000,000+ spent on attempts.
> IMO, we're on the cusp of a level of individual freedoms that were not available in the past

I really, truly, wish I could share your optimism.

What I think will happen is that things are going to continue to go strongly the opposite direction, until everything gets so egregious that people actually start fighting back in numbers.

If that fight is successful, we'll just return to something close to, but not quite, the status quo that existed a couple of decades ago.
The freeway system in the US is logging traffic with cameras. This goes far beyond the DOT's cameras in the cities & border patrol checkpoints. Would not be surprised if every mile of concrete/asphalt in the national freeway system is covered by cameras these days.
I've has this happen to me firsthand. I clicked on one dumb comedy cartoon about Italy in WW2 and my youtube algo switched completely into alt right mode. As soon as the video stopped my suggestions all switched to things like "Most EPIC Hillary Fails" and "Jordan Peterson DESTROYS whoever" over and over again.

I tried to get out of alt right mode by just never clicking any suggestions, but it just got worse and worse. I started getting recommended really weird dark stuff about how immigration causes all of our problems and fan "documentaries" about senior SS leaders in Nazi Germany.

I deleted my Google account early this year so I don't know if it's still routing people to this horrible crap, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

>As citizens of democratic countries we have uttely failed to protect our rights against private and public intrusions. We have failed to vote against politicians who introduce legislation to legalise pervasive automated surveilance. In the UK, Theresa May, who brought the Snooper Charter into law became Prime Minister instead of being kicked out of her political career in disgrace.* A majority of citizens of Western democracies continue to use social media and online services like Amazon and Netflix etc.

Compared to whom? We've de-munitionized RSA, we've mostly resisted the "outlaw strong encryption" meme (the U.K. is probably the most obtusely retrograde Western nation when it comes to tech, so I exclude them), we never pulled the "install this government cert to use the Internet" trigger (like Kazakhstan has tried to)... i-it could be worse!

x3

"Using social media" isn't a privacy-hostile stance like the above are; I'm a cryptonerd, but having my groceries delivered is just. I. Look. We live in a society. Where you don't have to go to the store anymore. It's too good to pass up. I order everything on Amazon through my offshore, Bitcoin-paid VPN, and I would have to be Stallman levels of insane not to. (Screw Netflix though, yeah; just torrent.)
Soft power is all about money. All the rest you mention is useless without it.
I am not a DoS/spam expert but first things come to mind are :
- Google account credibility (I have a very old Google account and this should provide me some trust from Google's perspective)
- Malicious word analysis in search queries
- Browser/device information to determine authenticity of the search (if I am at home or connecting over a Tor network)
- Gradually increase the response time for the queries
On top of those, Google is a machine learning company and I am sure this process should be automated by now without requiring filling of any active captchas.
Actually, it's long term profit.

Did any outrage machine last as long as e.g. Apple's substantial market share in China? Which one's short term is evident.

I don’t really see how this is a problem. As a European, I can’t think of a single U.S. regional gourmet food that you see on the shelves over here.

The only common U.S. food in European supermarkets are the big brands: Kelloggs, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Oreos, etc., and they don’t have any of those fancy "geographical indications" to protect.

Doesn’t look to me like the U.S. is losing out here. Am I missing something?

On the other hand, there would be a lot to lose in the domestic markets for American farmers from a deal like this. No longer being able to call their cheese "cheddar" or "parmesan", their bubbly wine "champagne" would probably hurt their market share quite a bit.
That brings up a deeper issue with git's philosophy. Git's UI is largely geared to introspecting the repository history only insofar as it exists to the currently existing checkout--commands that interact with history without concerning themselves with the current checkout are far more inscrutable, confusing, and difficult to find.

By contrast, Mercurial's UI makes the repository history a more first-class citizen, and it is very easy to answer basic questions about the history of the repository itself. If you're doing any sort of source code archaeology, that functionality is far more valuable than comparing it to the current state: I don't want to know what changed since this 5-year-old patch, I want to know what this 5-year-old patch itself changed to fix an issue.
Did you mean denaturing proteins?
To be fair, isn't deb/apt already open source? If you don't know it, check out the "competing standards" xkcd.

If I was a FOSS dev, I'd say "screw it; just let people pull the git and package it however their distribution wants it".
It's not just a question of storage, as the size of the repository increases git starts having a hard time dealing.

Binary files don't cause the issue, but because binary files don't deltify / pack well significant use of them makes repos degenerate much faster.
I usually run in the evening. Honestly a good question because that could be significant in its sleep impact.

Python Array Explained and Visualized
Flask is what got me interested in Python, I consider my self a web dev. When I was starting with a Raspberry Pi project I was just going to work with examples and tweak them to my needs. After going through a simple Flask Blog course on YouTube, I decided to pick up a book, learn the basic of Python first, and then come back to my original project. The syntax and zen philosophy have me hooked.
To me the Equifax story is the Nth such story that points out a crying need for a better security model. In 99%+ cases single teams can no longer produce 100% of the code that companies rely on. Most teams do not have (or can not afford to hire) people with expertise to audit or even an ability to understand the implementation details of the third party codes they use. Consequently any 3rd party code should only be allowed to access resources or data structures that it absolutely needs to carry out some work on behalf of its caller. This is separate from managing the scale complexity of s/w dependencies.

Reagan telling a variant : https://youtu.be/mN3z3eSVG7A?t=111
A Mississippi barge is about 1,500 tons capacity, a truck is about 25/26 tons, and each rail car is about 100 tons. Barges are grouped in 15 barge tows, and trains are grouped in 90 to 125 car unit trains.

Its a bit easier to get the trains than that many trucks. Also considering that can do barges can almost always do trains. Its not ideal and barge would be preferred, obviously.
How so? If you can't survive without committing crimes you shouldn't be in business.

Some of these lawsuits are about brands that would not be viable without the blackhat tactics they use. See e.g. KDC Direct, LLC v. Ravage Holding, Inc, the defendant allegedly hijacked a product page then sent a false IP complaint to Amazon.

"Large binary checkins" is not the actual issue. Git degrades as repository size increases. Large binary checkins make it much easier / faster to reach this situation, but you can also reach it just fine with regular text-based repository if they're big and have a significant history (long-lived and many contributors).

> There are interesting cases - like why someone who really can't afford a particular thing buys it anyway - but usually that sort of thing, in my experience, comes down to a type of stress that has them making suboptimal decisions all over (e.g. if you're poor, everything is harder, because everything is stressful, and...)

In Fussell's Class he diagnoses this as a deeply "middle class" (in terms of socialization, not necessarily income) behavior. Especially if the "luxury" things they're buying but can't afford are also actually kind of bad and not something someone socialized into upper-middle or upper-class attitudes would want (one notable category as an example: just about anything with a conspicuous brand logo on it).
