1. Youtube should remove disinformation, because it is harmful to society and it would be wrong for Youtube and the misinformers to profit from it, a special and unique scenario created by the Youtube platform. It is asking Youtube to exert control over their platform in a way that is likely but not guaranteed, to have net benefit, and not create peverse incentives.

2. Youtube should not remove disinformation because it violates the free speech of the misinformers. Youtube the entity has no rights over the content they deliver, in violation of their own Terms of Use. Any content anyone decides to upload should be allowed, including all the truly horrible stuff they content moderate which you never see.

Where is the contradiction?
Ok but what purpose do stub commands serve? What user is smart enough to be running command line tools but also too stupid to figure out how to install Python? Even if you did want to tell users how to install it you could just do it the Ubuntu way and make it a part of the error the shell throws when it can't find the program. If a program is not installed the expected behavior is that trying to run it leads to some sort error, not a fake program that engages in completely different behavior. If I see /usr/bin/python on my system then I'm going to assume that Python is installed. There's no point in subverting that expectation.

There used to be a global system memory file in /proc, 2.0 / 2.2 kernel series, unless my memory's playing tricks on me. Even content from dead processes was still (briefly) available.
Hi, found an earlier comment of yours mentioning you changed to being a hotel owner. We make a free hotel PMS -- would you like to get in touch and see how we can make it better for you? https://hoteliera.com/
It kinda makes me scared that we'll never figure out how to prevent the most ignorant of us from destroying us all.
Hesitant to call it AR, but super cool nonetheless.
The idea that you can convert people who hold racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic or other repulsive thought by just presenting them better facts is of course naive. We have the entirety of human history that shows that the liberal idea of a market place of ideas is ridiculous. It doesn’t work, if only because for example the far right isn’t playing the same game and isn’t interested in fair debate.
If I am reading the abstract correctly, it seems a medical procedure was carried out here based on evidence solely from an apple watch. Other medical tests either came out fine or weren't carried out.

Doesn't that break a million rules? What if that trace was just the result of Apple testing out a new data postprocessing algorithm?
I'm so thankful that big corporations tend to be lumbering, clumsy giants like this - otherwise there wouldn't be room for any smaller companies, and we'd already be at the point where all the commerce in the world was owned by a handfull of megacorps (we might still get there).
I was curious about this question too so I tried to find a list of comparable risks. Wikipedia has a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Global_catastrophic_r...

The solar flare risk (at ~1% per year [1]) seems much more likely than many of the other items there. Supervolcanos, pandemics, war, and AI also seem like salient risks, but we probably shouldn't worry about e.g. gamma ray bursts or asteroids.

Facebook is unusable without a FB account. A walled garden can't supplant YouTube.
I mean when you buy a Penske truck with the logos removed, it's just a yellow box truck. A u-haul is always going to have the distinctive shape, and they usually don't do a great job at removing the logos... They might have scraped off most of the logo, but they don't paint over it.
The lockdown will in now way outlast or run any where near as long as the recessions we have coming ahead.
Haha, bulk carbs unnecessary? I'm not sure what you mean - we eat nothing processed - only whole beans, grains, fruits, nuts, seeds. Nothing unnecessary to cut out
This is not true in any way. Gnome still works on non-systemd systems but you have to install elogind. And, there were valid technical reasons to have gnome depend on a login manager, in particular supporting multi-seat securely is very difficult without one. I should also mention that the previous "standardised interface" for this was ConsoleKit which was also written by the same developers as gnome and systemd. So this is not a matter of some developers going around and raiding projects and "forcing adoption", it's all stuff that happened under the same umbrella anyway.

If the "competing alternatives" don't need it then I would advise those projects to put their money where their mouth is and either start making improvements to elogind, or develop a new login manager that better fulfills the needs of gnome. In particular the solution used by elogind to deal with cgroups is to just disable them entirely, or at least it was last time I checked. I don't know what runit does for cgroups but a good step would be to make elogind compatible with that.
I was skeptical when clicking on the link, but this is a very nice idea, almost feels like a natural way of using a smartphone.
Reach is key, IMHO. Freedom of speech, already a very different thing in the US and Europe for example, is about being allowed to say what you want, with certain country specific restrictions. It doesn't mean to be granted access to biggest platforms with the highest reach out there to spread your opinion. Which is fine, as far as I am concerned.
The solution isn’t deplatforming, it is arresting these people if they light stuff on fire as that’s the crime. Let them believe what they want.
I agree more or less. I have only 7 or so years in the industry but everything I learned is self taught. You will be fine. You just have to put in the time to be a grunt. Junior dev jobs last but a second and once you have the production level (be sure to network your butt off at these early roles and alway be interviewing to get to your next more substantial role) you will be fine.

You have a solid STEM background, a passion for development (something that I’ve had come and go — it’s easy to get discouraged: I place too much value in what others speak of me or about the quality of my code — at least for me but that’s a personality trait that I’m working on you might not have the same issues as I do), and a growing portfolio of work. The only thing you need now is patience and time spent as a junior dev but with your set off skills I’m sure you’ll work your way up rather quickly.

Good luck!!
The problem with this straightforward thesis is twofold: firstly, distribution developers did not have any coherent position on the disadvantages of sysvinit or initscripts; secondly, the problem was mostly an iatrogenic one, as the very attempts to 'solve' or 'reform' it made things even less sustainable.

When it comes to Upstart, it was almost never used except as a wrapper around initscripts. Effectively you booted from Upstart which greedily synthesized all of its 'events' on startup that in turn triggered initscripts, which brought some degree of parallelism and that was about it. The reverse-dependency 'start/stop on' model was too esoteric, and Upstart's state machine brittle. Hilariously enough, the only system to actually use Upstart to its fullest (still does) is ChromeOS.

Prior to systemd and Upstart, as I discuss in chapter 1, distro developers either simply added various preprocessors for initscripts to introduce dependency headers, or they had these vague hunches of 'waiting for Godot' that we could either replace init entirely with D-Bus, put D-Bus interfaces in initscripts, or some other roundabout way that involved grafting D-Bus. Much of this was owing to the 'irrational exuberance' of Linux developers wanting to hotplug the world after 2003-4, but it always remains an on-and-off effort with the people behind it never certain what they want.

Indeed, besides grunt work of optimizing initscripts, I point out that as late as 2009 distros like Debian were still very concerned about LSB-compliance, and that even when they were willing to adopt a new fancy event-driven init like Upstart, it was conditional on reusing tools like insserv to parse LSB headers, and on incorporating initscripts for service management. Also the entire bizarre diversion that the Debian group had of using a Perl script to generate initscripts.

So far as I know, the daemontools approach was never influential. The available dichotomy was between putting lipstick on a pig, and utopian dreaming.

The paradox remains: how can we trust that the same people who did the Wrong Thing so persistently then suddenly turned out and did the Right Thing like they hit jackpot? If anything, 'jackpot' is the right analogy -- it was a fluke. And the same integration failures that were had with sysvinit have now been shifted into wrestling systemd's job model.

"Unification" was a folly, as the distro is still the place that gets its finger pointed at if upstream can't deliver, and upstream insists it's "just" offering a bunch of "modular tools," which ironically was supposed to be the problem to be addressed! Besides, there is still a whole world of Linux devices out there running Busybox, musl, OpenWrt, etc. that are outside the systemd bubble. Or think of all the container images running Alpine (which is also the basis of postmarketOS). Linux is still the same bazaar it always logically must be, but with a new class distinction added to the mix.
> So? Use the external library then. One thing does not preclude the other.

That's what everybody already does? You are proposing to, instead of doing that, move that library into the standard library where it cannot ever change.

> You can provide standard Unicode handling that is good enough for 99% software out there.

That's already in std? 99% of the code doesn't need to handle unicode grapheme clusters, because it doesn't deal with unicode at all.

You are suggesting moving something into standard that would make unicode software harder to update, and would make the standard library huge (>20mb larger) for all programs (the unicode tables take a lot of binary size), even those that don't use unicode, to try to solve a problem that does not exist.

> I work in such an organization and no, we cannot use third-party packages

If a Rust user cannot write `cargo add unicode-segmentation`, they have bigger problems than not being able to handle grapheme clusters. You can't run async code because you don't have an executor, you can't do http because the standard library doesn't support that, you can't solve partial differential equations, or do machine learning, or pretty much anything interesting with Rust.

That's bad for you, but the solution isn't to make Rust bad for everybody else instead.

If your organization doesn't let you use third-party packages, then write your own: that's what your organization wants you to do.

Some organizations want all code in CamelCase, they can't use the standard library at all. But the solution isn't to make Rust case insensitive, or to prove a 2nd standard library API for those organizations.
Do tell, what is an "actual mid level engineer"?
Man, as true as that might be, the delivery could be a lot more considerate. I was going to write a comment to the effect that, yeah, without the relevant experience, you will generally have to start out at a more "entry-level" position, and work up to a more senior position over time, after you've grown and learned more etc.
This is why we choose to sit everything on top of OpenShift, we get Red Hat support 24/7 to run it and if we needed to migrate to a different provider its far less painful as OpenShift abtracts the cloud providers API's away from us. The only real changes we need to make our admin based. Technical changes are very minimal.
>It does not protect misstatements of fact.

What about alternative facts?
>Electrical engineers are willing to put up with so much more it seems.

In general, IMHO. EAGLE, a golden-standard proprietary EDA tool, while still being quite a bit ahead of KiCad on the UX front, features no fewer pitfalls and completely unintuitive controls.
Have you found any new blogs or websites you visit on a frequent basis in the last 3 months? You can’t discover the voice of the little guy, there’s too much noise.
Bakeries in The Netherlands do quite well actually. Although they also sell patisserie and sometimes (too expensive) baking stuff, the main part is bread.
>You see, on fax machines you rarely got spam

When I entered the workforce I was surprised to see how much fax spam there was, usually a sheet or two every week. It's tapered off to ~ a couple of sheets per fortnight in recent times though. It is kind of amusing to see fax phishing with personalised cover notes attached to some spam about light furnishings etc.

I wish I could do the old "faxing sheets of black paper taped into a loop" trick but I'm sure the scammers are using e-fax now.
> Did this guy even talk to a power grid engineer before posting his opinion?

Seems like no? haha. To his credit, he admits he is not an expert and asks us to tell him why he is wrong. Unfortunately, when I read the comments, it seems like none of his blog readers are experts on the subject, either. So, maybe not "Monday Morning Quarterbacking," but certainly Armchair Quarterbacking.
Wouldn't we want the exact opposite? Slavery was once the norm, talking out against it was how we actually changed it. Trying to imply that we should censor all those who go against the group is no better than if everyone who was against slavery was killed.

It makes no sense in any "free" America where censorship of differing ideas is something we should strive for. When did the public suddenly get too sheltered from reality?
That's true. The anti-union propaganda would be present. The trick is making sure your message gets out there too and emphasizes the contradictions between the employer's desire and power to compel people to submit to invasive surveillance in their own homes and our rights to be free of such invasive measures through relatable stories.

The people that take the side of the employer are broadly the corporate owned media, but when hearing the labor side of the story, the public is often sympathetic because the majority of people are workers, not employers.

> There are people out there saying a minimum wage of $7.25 is too high and we should get rid of it entirely.

Those people are not the ones being subjected to such wages. People's political analysis is largely directed by material self interest. The vast majority of the population is made of precarious workers who resent the people that would say that.
Funny you mentioned systemd-resolved, it generated so many coredumps across the machines I use at home (Arch, Manjaro, Fedora), its stability / reliability improved over time but still not up to standard.

Unfortunately, currently systemd-resolved is the only OS level DNS-Over-TLS solution that works for my use cases: roaming laptops and desktops running Linux. At home it's fine because the core router runs AsusWRT-Merlin which does DNS over TLS for all clients using it as resolver.

I don't have a strong opinion against systemd (initially I disliked it moving from Arch's BSD style rc.d). Trend is that systemd is taking over more and more *ctl, seem like its goal is the entire user-space?. Most distros choose to accept and adopt it, and overall (at some point) it eliminated distro differences and lowered the barrier for new Linux users (desktop) and sysadmins.

Personally I started systemd when it rolled into Arch Linux, after which point, rolling upgrade has never gone broke (workstation use case - Desktop Environment / WM), could be skill levelled up after gaining experience though lol...

BTW: I watched `reinventing home directories` by Lennart Poettering (recording @ All System Go! 2019), interesting one. Personally I like to see reinventing wheels to solve legacy problems (people get used to them, sometimes confused, question but don't know how to solve) others don't even consider problems. These helped open my mind and look at things from a different PoV.

Wouldn’t be much of a loss...
> Let the truth fight for itself.

I used to have a very similar opinion to yours until I found out the truth rarely fights for itself if there's an alternative, much more convenient lie — preferably one that plays into peoples' confirmation bias or makes someone richer.

We've got an aysmmetry here that never existed before in human history. Any kind of large scale public addressing: newspapers, TV, books, had some kind of controlling mechanism and instances who stood in for the quality with their reputation: Editors, printers, TV stations.

All legislation, including the First Amendment (which, just picking nits here, is probably too simple to slap onto YouTube as a global content platform as a US-only law) was written regarding these conventions.

YouTube goes out there and hands everyone a big fat mike who wants to be heard, and then amplifies this voice to believers via recommendations.

I used to think the Internet would be a net benefit to the world. After witnessing Cambridge Analytica, the "Internet Research Agency", large scale online harrassment and Anti-Vaxxers, I'm not so sure anymore.

I don't claim to know what the answer is.

I just claim I'm pretty sure it's not the unbounded freedom to anonymous and partly highly maliciously motivated actors to spread their message without oversight.
How to Use Scala’s Pattern Matching
>It doesnt say anything about the radar readings recieved, or the pilots reactions.

To be fair, for the last video which shows telemetry data on the screen, he does explain what it means and how it shows that the object being tracked is actually stationary or moving very slowly.

As for the highly trained professional pilot's reactions, check out this breakdown of that last video, in which the pilots are freaking out. It show from the visual data readouts that it's a small object slightly above ambient temperature that's about 1m across flying very slowly at about 2k altitude. Oh and if you look closely at the object, you can see slow rhythmic oscillations, known in the technical community as 'flapping'.

Based on what, that sounds like something you have just pulled out of the air.
Exactly, warehouse stores started off as wholesalers for commercial customers, and then gradually shifted towards retail. A few years ago, Costco used to open an hour earlier for commercial customers, but I’m not sure they do it anymore. A few aisles are more for businesses, for example takeout containers, cleaning supplies, etc. I’ve seen owners of food truck, small restaurants, and mom&pop convenience stores getting their bulk supplies there.

The one where it works well enough to replace lockdown. You're right, that scenario is not guaranteed. Meaning we might be stuck with lockdown until vaccination.

But there is no way responsible adults are going to let people just go back to normal. The threat that required lockdown in the first place has not diminished in any way.

The Art of Deconstruction – How to Reverse Engineer Success
And even before seizing power.

“Contrary to what most people think, Weimar Germany did have hate-speech laws, and they were applied quite frequently. The assertion that Nazi propaganda played a significant role in mobilising anti-Jewish sentiment is, of course, irrefutable. But to claim that the Holocaust could have been prevented if only anti-Semitic speech and Nazi propaganda had been banned has little basis in reality. Leading Nazis such as Joseph Goebbels, Theodor Fritsch and Julius Streicher were all prosecuted for anti-Semitic speech.

“Pre-Hitler Germany had laws very much like the anti-hate laws of today, and they were enforced with some vigour.” [1]

"In the decade from 1923 to 1933, the Nazi propaganda magazine Der Stürmer — of which Streicher was the executive publisher — was confiscated or had its editors taken to court no fewer than 36 times. The more charges Streicher faced, the more the admiration of his supporters grew. In fact, the courts became an important platform for Streicher’s campaign against the Jews." [2]
