You can't separate demonetization from the question of publishing. Traditional media uses ads revenue for compensating content creators, but at the same time has a responsability for having copyright for every content they publish. Also just by the decision of demonetizing Alphabet gets farther from being just a communications medium earning money from helping the spread of information and getting to be a decider of what those users can communicate with eachother (Joe Rogan is a great recent example).

When a new law is being created, often it is created _because_ something legal, but immoral is being done by a person/company.

Also the law you refer to is a law inside the U.S., but Alphabet earns more than 50% of revenue (and most views) outside US. It was doing illegal business in the EU multiple times on grand scale and was given fines for it.

The OP means that Trump didn't use quotation marks or mention that it was a quotation. (I myself didn't realize it was a quotation.) There is no attribution or quotation marks in the tweet.

I found the attribution of the quote very informative and am very surprised it is currently downvoted. My own summary of the tweets is also downvoted, not sure what I could/should add to it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23347395

I tried to neutrally summarize the tweets, in case people wanted to know what they said without clicking.

It is going to be released soon, stay tuned!
It’s not technically disbanded yet :) https://what-if.xkcd.com/48/

The comment really applies to the US empire, or indeed any empire in general.

I hear why you’re saying, but the economic argument just doesn’t make any sense to me; having more citizens should benefit a national economy. Besides, there are many things we do without economic rationale; maybe slavery would boost GDP, but we’ve decided that this is irrelevant because it’s morally reprehensible.
I'm struck by two things as I mull over how I'll monetize my own SaaS app that I've started ideating.

Firstly, the author says to rather sell to businesses than to individuals. Fine.

Secondly, one of his links (https://makebook.io/) says monetize by asking users for money, and makes a point of saying don't use ads anywhere.

But if my product is aimed at consumers, why not monetize with ads if it's notoriously difficult to get users to pay 5 or 10 bucks?
or perhaps you use it against the most egregious offences by users with a high number of followers. not much point fact checking my tweets because at worst I could misinform 6 people, perhaps if it was retweeted a lot it would then be fact checked. Trump's verbal/typed diarrhea gets everywhere.
After a bit of struggle I found that Pulseaudio over Jack adresses my needs. Music production software connects directly to Jack and all other software (browser, video player, etc.) uses Pulseaudio. Also the Cadence GUI really helps to set this up correctly.

All these "features" of Deno are super cool, but why reimplement a runtime from scratch :(

Can we not benefit in Node from what I essentially see as "package.json not mandatory" - which I think is already achievable with ES Modules - and "better permissions model"?

Maybe this can be seen as the effort from several years ago where a project "io.js" branched out of Node as trying to implement certain things the community didn't like. Then after a few years they were implemented into Node and io.js "died off". Although io.js had always the intent of being compatible with Node, so that definitely changes things.

States can apportion their electors however they choose, but generally their votes are cast in a "winner take all" manner.

This setup is (in a way) a consequence of the Great Compromise, and would serve to reduce the electoral influence of more populous states even if elector votes were cast proportionally with respected the state's popular vote.

It's not accurate to say that people in the US vote for electors.

I think what you're seeing is Twitter building a track record that will allow them to effectively ban him. Take a look at Reddit, they've been following the exact same track for /r/the_donald. They're not interested in trying to make sure Trump stays on twitter, they're just interested in creating the trail of evidence that when they do kick him off they can talk about how incredibly tolerant they were.

And that's bad because...? We can't succumb to lawlessness if people don't respect the law and expect no penalties. If they did the same thing at Area51 and were shot, would you say it's the fault of the guard who swore to protect their post just as the National Guard does? Is the value of civility not greater than a single life?
Yes, but that's different in that it's x86 on x86 so you can use hardware paravirtualization features for maximum performance (through HyperV). ARM on x86 can't use hardware virtualization features, you have to run it all in software, which is why it's slow. Big value in getting rid of the architecture mismatch.
So far every legal analysis of the order draft I've seen is "it's not enforcible, mentioned agencies fought not to regulate things like that, looks like it was written just to appease him". Once the regulation is realistic, (likely needing senate involvement) Twitter may be worried.

I haven't read this properly, and I'm not sure I totally understand the stuff being parsed, but here's my initial thought. Parsing a 4-digit span can be done with PEXT-sub-multiply, and range checking requires a extra few instructions.

initial: 0 0 0 0 3 4 1 2 (characters)

pext: 0 3 0 4 0 1 0 2 (characters)

sub: 0 3 0 4 0 1 0 2

multiply: 3412 412 12 2

Values below '0' will set high bits in the "sub" phase. Do another "sub" to check for values above '9', and branch.

Use of PEXT means potentially very fast handling of separators. Everything can be branchless.

Might not be as fast as SIMD but it should be better than a typical scalar approach.
Where's the Seagate lawsuit? They've been doing this too for years now. AFAIK you can no longer buy 4TB Seagate consumer 3.5" drives now, the current product line is all undisclosed SMR unless you go to higher tiers.

E.g the ST4000DM000 (which I have a pile of in an array) was replaced with the ST4000DM004, which is sold as a direct replacement in that product line but is SMR.
The referendums they held were boycotted by a huge majority of the population and due to the low turn out not considered valid. There is a VERY strong anti-statehood movement in puerto Rico and a minority that want full independence and a minority that want statehood.

The Puerto Rican government chose not to pursue statehood based on the low turn out, but the option is still available to them anytime. This has nothing to do with the USA federal government and everything to do with Puerto Rican politics.
China’s “problem” is that if they directly attack any nation in Asia the others will see the writing on the wall and make an alliance that will include India and the US.
I think you basically covered it in your other comment. Macros are much quicker and easier to write than compiler plugins or annotation processors, but they are difficult for the IDE to understand. So it's a trade-off where Nim and Kotlin both make reasonable, but quite different, choices.
I should elaborate more. I see past the “oh, I can squeeze it with my hands, too”. I was referring to the marketing aspects of “lifestyle” product which when properly analyzed sounds like a bad idea. Nespresso is successful because it has actual technology to make excellent coffee given how easy it is to use. If my constraint is 20 seconds of time, please find me an alternative to Nespresso that makes excellent coffee. They provide real value even though it seems similar to Juicero. I implore people to look up Nespresso’s patent. It is no Keurig when it comes to the quality of the shot. I would say it even beats coffee from professional machines but that’s debatable and aficionados of coffee will correct me.

Juicero did no such thing. It had nothing to offer. It didn’t make better juice given the time constraint. It couldn’t market itself. And VCs couldn’t see this.
Not really, because you ship every required version of every function. Functions aren’t incompatible with functions they don’t use.
We are all slaves to the whim of companies. Sure I could've continued using Delphi beyond the late '90's but that would've meant that I wouldn't have been able to hold a job as a developer in the '00's when .NET became all the rage.

Sometimes you just have to make do with what your customers want. And besides, C# is IMHO the best computer language ever invented.
It's the US.

Scapegoating blacks is how you win elections. I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying that it gets lots and lots of people to vote for you.

So yes, to the extent that winning elections is important to politicians, this sort of thing is made a priority.
„Just ship it“ does not mean spending 9 months(!) building something that should have been a no-code MVP built in 2 weeks max.
It totally fits his history of drawing the public's attention away from the most unflattering things that he has done.
I might be in the market for a forms service, and have been researching them a bit over the past few weeks. As a potential customer, here is the single biggest thing that made me instantly say no: free. Even worse it's unlimited free, not even freemium.

That means either the service will sell my information, or the information of my customers (if not now, eventually), or that it's going to die shortly. And I don't want to put in the effort of migrating my sites to your service in either of those cases.

So my advice to you is to start charging.
There has to be a line somewhere, otherwise the implication is that nobody can be held correct by fact checking. Snopes and Politifact do a pretty good job, IMO. I think this just touches on the fact that the GOP and Trumpists in general are more likely to engage in distorting the truth or outright fabricating lies.
> an ambiguous sentence

That's not an ambiguous sentence.

The thing about Trump supporters that baffles me is, they have the common sense to understand when some his claims are false or hurtful, because they make up excuses for them: they're ambiguous, he was just checking if we were paying attention, etc. even when he refuses to back down and absolutely denies the excuses. But they still enjoy having their prejudices, fears and hates validated whenever Trump's tweets align with their view.
Closest Exoplanet to Earth Could Host Life
Being healthy is not the only factor for long lifespan, there are also accidental risks (disease, being eaten by a tiger, ...) mitigated by our modern way of life and access to advanced healthcare.

A Masai is probably healthier than a cliche westerner fueled processed carbs and sitting all day, but the latter will certainly live longer.

As for Japanese eating lots of rice, portion control ? I'd guess they get a large proportion of their calories from rice, but don't over-eat. I used to live in Thailand, Thais eat all the time, mostly carbs but small portions, and there are still fewer fat people than in the West.
HTTPS tells me that I am definitely downloading this package from GitHub. But what exactly am I downloading from GitHub? No clue.
IMO this is a misunderstanding of the situation.

People on Twitter are mostly not voting for Trump. Trump voter demographics are roughly white male rural middle-income evangelical non-college-educated over-50, and this does not overlap much with Twitter user demographics (80% millennials).

So Trump has nothing to lose on Twitter, so he can't lose. The goal for his tweets is to make a big story, and Twitter intervening makes it an even bigger one.
I don't see what's so controversial about applying their rules to one of their users.
If by 'we' you're referring to the entirety of Eastern Europe, Russia has a well known history of employing agent provocateurs in order to affect protests or other movements. This isn't isolated to just Eastern Europe either, considering Italy has a history of this as well.

Needless to say there's also been some reporting and concerns of provocateurs among the protesters here as well using it as an excuse to inflame riots or start looting.
> our society has great difficulty dealing with nuclear waste.

Emotionally, not physically. We let ignorance take over and fear drive decisions.

Your comparison of CRISPR to nuclear bombs and meltdowns just puts it into the irrational fear category.

You said yourself that you’re a physicist. Why do you think that qualifies you to talk about the risks of gene editing with CRISPR?
This looks pretty amazing, and something I have hoped would exist.

It does impact the stock, and that's likely a part of the reason it took Twitter so long to take even the smallest action against his violations of their rules. The President is using the threat of allowing social media companies to be held liable for their content, as retaliation against Twitter. The stock was down 4.5% yesterday and is trading lower in the pre-market session.

I lived in Puerto Rico and know lots of people in government there. The lack of action is entirely down to the Puerto Rican government and has nothing to do with the USA federal government. Turnout in the referendums was too low for it to be considered valid, at least according to one of their major political parties.

Too many rich people and politicians benefit from the lack of oversight and low taxes plus the corruption that results for them to allow statehood. If Puerto Ricans are serious about wanting statehood they can stop voting for these corrupt clowns anytime and vote in people that will complete the process of obtaining statehood.
Win-win for everybody. This should've happened a long time ago.
Having recently worked on creating monitoring dashboard for some backend, there are a few things that strikes me :

- The indicators are physically disposed in a way to represent the physical location of what they are monitoring. It helps understand what it is measuring (instead of just adding a label.. or putting all the "tension" indicator in the same row, for example).

- Next to the indicators are the buttons to physically interact with that part of the system. This is very logical : you see the red light, and right below it you have the button to shut the thing off.

I don't know of any infrastructure monitoring dashboard system that works this way. I wonder how that would translate in our world of virtual instances. But i'm pretty sure there's something to take inspiration from here.
Moderating a prominent troll and raising the standards to the level of every other user, is not really politics.
Yes, backend seems to be a little slower paced. With the notable exception of cloud-native platforms, especially kubernetes ecosystem where seems to be one new framework every week.
If they built the Great Pyramid in the advertised 20 years, that means placing a 2.5-ton block every 4th minute, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If they stopped at sundown, it's every 2 minutes. If they broke half the year to farm, that's one each minute. But let's guess they had enough surplus to work year-round; so, 2 minutes.

Suppose they took 600 years, instead; then it's one per hour.

Which is harder to imagine, cutting, moving, lifting and placing 30 blocks in every waking hour for 20 years, or placing one per waking hour, non-stop, for 600 years? Each seems less possible than the other.

I don't know of any firm evidence for when any of the pyramids were built. We can guess that the bent and red pyramids were built first, but they could just as easily be poor copies attempted a thousand years later, or ten.

There is a fluorescence technique to discover when a cut limestone face that has been covered for centuries was last exposed to sunlight, but I don't know of it being used on any Great Pyramid block. One would not expect Egyptologists to advocate for such a test, because only two outcomes are possible: they were far enough off to be embarrassed; or not, and it was useless. (Either way, better not.)

They built these things with perfectly straight, slanting tunnels a few inches wide running from inner chambers almost to the surface, for no known reason. Some people say they point at certain mythologically important stars on equinoctal days, but I have not been able to get confirmation of that.

One thing well established is that none of them were tombs. When somebody finally battered their way into each, maybe 4300+ years later, all the chambers were empty and unmarked. (Except one has an empty stone box in it big enough to be a coffin or bathtub.)

There are lots of examples of 20-, 30-, 60-ton basalt boxes cut from living rock with perfect right-angled inside corners, and moved through funerary complex tunnels barely big enough. Take off the (10-ton) lid and they're empty. It's anybody's guess what they were for.

Interesting looking article, but could you share the content behind the paywall?
This video is sad to watch and could not wait for it to actually end.

1) Low popularity does not mean something sucks. Listen to the global top 10 playlist on Spotify and you will know what I am talking about: the worst, least creative music ever made happens to be the most popular and the greatest works of music in the history of humanity are much less popular.

2) There are many solutions for backwards compatibility, some of them are listed in this video (AppImage, Flatpak) and other ways of making software more self-contained. Now... WINE can sometimes be more backwards compatible than Windows.

3) "Linux foundation executive director presents from a Mac". Well, this has been observed in Microsoft talks too. In fact, there's one talk where the presenter cannot get Internet Explorer to do what he wants so he takes a moment to install Chrome.

4) "Linux people are dumb"... Are they? I would not say so.
Explaining Black Box AI
The term information hiding used in this thread is very confusing (to me, at least).

I believe David Parnas introduced it in 1971 to mean that a program's design was sliced along shared units of concerns (things that vary together) rather than "steps in a flowchart".

You missed my point, or I didn’t explain it well enough. I’m saying: why is the browser even starting to load the stylesheet? It should see media=print and decide that it doesn’t need it at all, and only fetch and load it when the media query starts to match, or perhaps by heuristics when there’s a reasonable chance that it will soon match.

As it stands, browsers are fetching print stylesheets all the time (sure, at idle priority, but they’re still fetching them) even though they’re used less than once per million page loads. This seems silly.
My thoughts exactly.
It seems a person incapable of proper grammar (like a baby) has some concept or thought it wants to express, but can't because it doesn't know the words etc.

These language models seem to know the words and the grammar etc, but lack a underlying concept they want to express.

There are systems that derive 'thought-vectors', but I'd be interested going the other way: somehow create such a 'thought-vector' and generate text to express that thought.

I don't know how to construct a 'thought-vector' of any concept though.
