I’m not sure you could have illustrated their point more perfectly than this. But please don’t feel like people are amused at your expense — it’s just such a perfect demonstration of exactly what they were saying.

FWIW, I agree with you that WinGet is an entirely logical choice, catchy, and ultimately unrelated to AppGet. Yeah, it may seem like the choice was made intentionally / in spite of AppGet, but anyone who knows a bit about big company dynamics will tell you that the explanation for situations like this is usually mundane, innocent, and often dysfunctional — much like a toddler. A toddler that happens to have a billion dollars and can reshape the world with its decisions, but still similar. “The name is catchy and I like it” is akin to “I see red ice cream and I want it,” and it’s probably nothing deeper than that.

It was rather unfortunate to use apt-get as an example and then say it was for Windows, though. :)
Yes, first time was on a canal boat (EDIT: my father-in-law's boat, but he was away) with just my wife. Very safe and secure setting.

Second time was at a very small psytrance festival with my wife and her parents. I trust them completely and they are both very nice, and there were not any scary people about.

But what if you turn that argument around - a US owned company is dominating media pandscape of other countries, and gets to decide who gets a loudspeaker and who does not. Is thay foreign interference?
Ordinary users would be banned for the stuff he said. No question about that.

Twitter is already giving the president a lot of leeway in what he can say.
Yeah, it's weird to see the comment criticizing the impact of Intel's CPU patches and Ryzen 4000 systems and then talking about using a RPi4 as an alternative. I don't have experience with the RPi4, but in previous versions the CPU and IO performance was terrible compared to even a mid-range laptop, so I assume it still is. If you use the system for any kind of work (even if it's just web browsing), an RPi system is going to have an awful ROI compared to a 'regular' laptop.
I don't buy this. Both sides have been calling for regulation ever since Russians used Twitter and Facebook to meddle in the 2016 election. These are unaccountable companies with unparalleled influence on our elections. If they influence which lawmakers get chosen, they should have to follow minimum standards of conduct.
Which is... ?

I agree. But twitter and facebook claim to be not be publishers but here they are acting as editors (part of publishing). They can’t be both. What do you feel about that?

This item is based on no science and horribly overpriced, but cosmetically attractive and sneakily marketed. Shocking. They should diversify into premium Hifi.

> Why does your email has an anti-spam filter again? Isn't that censorship?

Spam Filtering is not censorship because it is acting on my behalf on the emails that I receive. As a private person, I have the right to apply any filters on conversations I am a direct part of.

What I don't have the right is to apply my filters/opinions on others without their consent. Doing this would be censorship.

That is not what I think is the issue. The issue is that Twitter is behaving like an editorial. What Twitter did is effectively singling out a politician for his views without any regard for being unbiased (which is what a platform should be). I don't see Twitter attaching disclaimers to the tweets issued by any other politician or World leader. I can give multiple instances of politicians in my country misusing Twitter to spread propaganda and outright lies. If Twitter wanted to rebut Trump it could have done it by commenting under the Tweet just like everyone else. The moment Twitter assumes an editorial role upon itself it is no longer a platform but a publisher.

> The gameplan might be to build a direct connection between the vast financial resources of the republican party and their ability to influence online audiences

Assuming that there is some "game-plan" is far fetched. If Twitter hadn't done this there wouldn't be a hue and cry in the first place. No one asked Twitter to attach its own opinion to the tweet. It did it on its own volition.

The fact is that Twitter is heavily tilted towards the left. Jack Dorsey is himself a self-declared left-leaning liberal. India has had its fair share of random banning of right-leaning accounts with those accounts not violating any Twitter policy. After hue and cry those accounts are reinstated. Once reinstated, there is no explanation given as to why the account was banned in the first place and why the account was reinstated. And it has happened multiple times!

If you are going to preach about democracy and fair play then first start at home. Else it will just reek of hypocrisy. And people hate hypocrisy more than lies. At least you know when someone is lying. But you never know when someone is being a hypocrite until you dig his/her past!
tailwind is 1.7MB of CSS? ....whyy?
That is just two sideism. No other recent administration has behaved in as petty, insecure, and personally vindictive a manner as this one.

Hell, half of the 2016 campaign was about jailing the other candidate. Nobody else in any of the recent races has behaved in such a way. No president since Nixon is so quick to fly off the handle over being called out on what they are saying. If Biden were running on a Jail Trump campaign in 2020 (since it is now politically acceptable to do that sort of thing, I guess), you may have a point that the two sides behave the same way. They don't.

As for journalists - do you seriously think most of the talking heads on Fox News follow journalistic ethics? If you do, I don't think conversation is necessary - because we don't have a common understanding of either the content of Fox programming, or of ethics.
> I agree. I think of this as a functor pattern: object that supports some params being bound at constructor time, and other params set when the function is called later.

> Another perspective of the whole thing is that you have a function with many arguments, then you curry to bind some arguments, then pass the resulting function with remaining free arguments to be called.

It's not the same, though, because a socket etc is being constructed in the constructor. Here's an abridged (and possibly wrong!) version of a monitoring client:

class Monitor:
def __init__(self, monitoring_url, app_name):
self.monitoring_url = monitoring_url
self.session = aiohttp.ClientSession(timeout=aiohttp.ClientTimeout(total=1))
self.details = ujson.dumps({'app_name': app_name, 'pid': os.getpid()})

async def send(self):
async with self.session.post(monitoring_url, data=self.details, raise_for_status=True) as resp:
pass

If you treat that as currying, you will create a new ClientSession every time you call ping(). A ClientSession contains a connection pool, so that means you will create a new socket instead of reusing one.

> In languages that let you operator overload function call syntax, you end up with an object that, once constructed, supports being called like with same syntax as a function call. This works easily in python (define __init__ and __call__ ), and you don't have to fight the typesystem to structure code that will accept both a callable object or a function.

In Python and Java, you can easily refer to bound methods to produce callables from objects, so this seems like unnecessary work.
> IT Companies have limited features to outside the EU countless times,

This only works if you actually block EU visitors. Otherwise, you still fall under EU jurisdiction if you appear to have or address users from the EU. It would probably affect you similarly if you have users from the US and are located outside of it.

Enforcing fines is another matter, but the US would certainly have no problems there (see Kim Dotcom raid).
It doesn't really matter. What ever happened on the Microsoft side should be communicated to him. The fact that they ghosted him after flying him on site and milking him for information looks bad anyway.

FWIW, this is A034838 in The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences - https://oeis.org/A034838 , which also has implementations in Python and other languages.
Why not make max or pow an object then? If you can model something as a pure function, then it should be a function. You can always add memorization later, if needed. OOP is fundamentally different from FP, objects are not just higher order functions, they are also coalgebras. There is no need to force every peg into a coalgebra hole.

I know what you mean - and the relief side of it is OK, but the downside is that people then think that this is a real thing, and 5G really is the issue, and they're right to do this, etc...

When I try to think about it in terms of the effect on people, it's much more complex than my initial "you muppets deserve to be relieved of £300 for believing total rubbish" reaction. You then think 'well, these people just need to be educated about this and then they'll see what's actually happening', but those kinds of strategies don't have the success rate you'd hope for in a rational world.

I wonder how many they've sold?
Technically speaking, this is a super awesome product.

But is it really needed? I could see this opening up issues with security if multiple people have access — and if only one person has access, then why not simply forward the finalized changes to someone who can commit and push instead of sending it to someone on the marketing team?
So I would guess that Twitter is internally torn apart on this. I imagine the rank-and-file for the most part despise Trump but as a business Twitter (and its shareholders) are more than happy to be the Propaganda Wing of the Republican Party.

So I imagine an effort to distance themselves from the outright lies of the commander-in-chief was token resistance to this role, probably aimed at mollifying the collective consciences of the employees.

But it's doomed and they've fallen into a trap. Here's how this is going to go:

There is simply no line in the sand you can draw between objective truth and objective lies. What's more, even if you can, propagated lies exist because people want to believe them and they see any effort to disabuse them of their provably false views (eg vaccines cause autism) as biased actors trying to hide the "truth".

Human nature can be ugly at times.

The take on Section 230 is actually an interesting one and I imagine that's going all the way to the Supreme Court if the administration pushes on this. Like you can remove objectionable or illegal content from your platform (in fact you're required to by law) and still maintain safe harbor but where does that end? If you're Google you don't want Youtube filled up with a bunch of racist crap. It's bad for your brand. That content may fall under free speech (from a S230 perspective) and if you decide to remove it for the health of the platform and/or the value of your brand, does safe harbor still apply?

Whatever the case, this administration needs to lose in the next election. Badly. The attack on societal norms and institutitotions is unprecedented and reprehensible and I so would like Trump, McConnell, Ivanka, Jared, Pompeo, Barr and a whole bunch of others to end up in prison after all this is over.

This is what scares me the most: in the Watergate era even Republicans found Nixon's behaviour beyond the pale. I am utterly convinced that if that happened today there'd be a strict party-line vote as the President's party would happily look the other way.

Look no further than the administration's so far successful efforts to block Congressional oversight. At no time in history did any administration think it was totally above the law. Make no mistake: that's what they're doing. Worse, no administration so blatantly engaging in obstruction would've continued to have ~40% of the population support it no matter what. Thanks to decades of gerrymandering in state Houses and voter suppression that 40% almost controls the election by itself as higher-population states are essentially disenfranchises in the modern electoral system.

For the record, I'm against the popular vote deciding the presidential election but that's a whole other topic.

How anyone who can call themselves "Christian" and support this president and his policies is utterly beyond me.

Presumably they wanted to keep control of copyright, although their claim on their website is that otherwise they "couldn't build a repository of trusted applications ".

It reminds me of the way secure boot was rolled out where Microsoft said that this was all about "trust" and yet OEMs who are always keen to keep Microsoft sweet would strangely only bundle windows keys.

Another thing: output to an sqlite file, to do some ad hoc querying on the data.

And: default value for broker-list/bootstrap-server/zookeeper by script to enable something like "use context aware the kafka nodes in my kubernetes cluster" or "just use this, it is always the same"

Great idea
>The president gets to tweet things that would get you, a non-president, quickly banned from Twitter.

This is exactly why Twitter is an editor.

> the federal government is going to actually censor Twitter on his order

Wrong. They will instruct the FCC to treat Twitter like a newspaper.
The freedom to use software in any way a user wants is fundamental to a future that respects users. A future that respects creators is one where they have the right to do what they like with their creation too.

Creators should be able to rent out access to their software if they choose (SaaS) or distribute it with non-free licences. My hope is that more creators will choose a different path.

A better future doesn't have to depend on a dogmatic vision of what software is. A better future is one where there's freedom on both sides of the equation.
Why we have so many problems with our teeth
Seems like we're relying now upon the same "bureaucracy" that was detested when someone got what he wanted. Now someone very delusional is butthurt. Good thing twitter can basically do whatever they want - it's a private company, first amendment rights are not in question here. If crazies want to eat their fish tank cleaner, but twitter wouldn't let them post selfies promoting this stupidity, then stupid people need to learn how to create their own company and isolate from reality a little longer like maybe a few more generations. I bet that'll work well...
This is not how psychedelics for treatment resistant depression is tested. The most common treatment protocol is a single psychedelics session assisted by 2 therapists (preceded by a few therapy sessions and some follow-ups). Overwhelmingly the evidence point to very significant effects lasting months after the session.

This is far from "a never-ending psychedelic trip". If you follow the evidence for the most researched treatment protocol, this would involve a session every year or half-year.
My point is that the government passing laws because they don't like what's happening on a platform is textbook first amendment. That you can leave the platform has no bearing on the first amendment. The first amendment says "the government CANNOT do this". It doesn't say "it can't do this, unless users can leave".
Ah I see - the tool just creates permutations of keywords entered, foe example, if you enter 10 keywords in each column, it generates you 10,000 long tail keyword combinations of the words you enter. (10 * 10 * 10 * 10)

It's ideal for when you want a huge list of all your services, sectors and areas covered etc in every combination.
I'm sorry that you were having difficulty interpreting my comment. It may help if you go back and note that I was making a distinction between using AMP to consume content vs search for it. Publishers normally know when their content is being consumed. Let me know if that makes sense to you.

>Regular search results have snippets.

Right, and I was asking about the search results, not the snippets that accompany them. That is to say, the part with the blue title, green link, and the few lines in black displayed from the page that are displayed ten at a time, not the snippets that accompany them at the top of the page. Unless you were just using 'snippets' as a general term to mean the same thing that I mean by search results, in which case you were just repeating the content of my own question back to me.
I take a prescribed ketamine lozenge every day. I don't experience any psychedelic effects and I'm fine with that.
>>resulting from having a fact check posted

Except for the Fact

1. It was on opinion not a statement of fact that needed fact checking

2. Twitter supports directly an opposing opinion

3. The "Fact Check" organizations linked are provably bias and are not fact check organizations

4. The links went to opposing opinion pieces not a statement of fact
Fact-checking is itself freedom of speech. Notices of fact-checking references is freedom of speech as well. Content was not removed in those instances, and a private platform has private rules. A legitimate President must abide by the same Laws of the land as everyone else, and not expect special treatment or to censor speech that fails to please own ears. The latter is dangerously working against the Constitution and 1st Amendment.
Arm's New Cortex-A78 and Cortex-X1: An Efficiency and Performance Divergence
This is exactly the stigma psychedelic enthusiasts have in mind. Psychedelic-assisted therapy doesn't need to rely on patients being administered psychedelic doses on a daily basis.

What's actually happening (either in trials or by underground practictioners) is that the super-malleable/open to self-analysis mental states that can be induced by psychedelics can be a catalyst for significant long-term shifts in perspectives and thinking patterns.

An amazing book to give you a cursory understanding of the state of the field is How to Change Your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics by Michael Pollan. It'll give you a good understanding of what psychedelic research may be able to achieve (and what it's achieved so far).

I'd argue there's no such thing as "transparent terms of use" that wouldn't be open to legal challenge. Twitter and facebook have terms of use, they're as transparent as any other site in that regard.

Reddit has banned whole sub-reddits and shadowbanned others, Hacker news has human mods who make qualitative decisions to curate conversations on this site.

This hits every forum, every newsgroup, every site that has user generated content.
I think Twitter would ordinarily just straight up ban users who post blatant untruths about elections.

That’s what they have done in the past and what is a direct reaction to what went down during the last US presidential election.

Since this is the President Twitter feels understandably uncomfortable with just banning that person, so the next best option is to provide context to what they said. Seems reasonable to me.

You can quibble about details, but the basic idea seems sound to me.

You can also quibble about inconsistent enforcement and what not, but as far as I know Twitter is just coming down extremely hard on election disinfo (for understandable reasons), so that’s why they are so on this (and not, say, harassment and hate speech – which to my mind is also a very big problem on Twitter and where I see many failings in Twitter’s insufficient reaction).

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good. So often in these discussions people aim for perfection which in this messy reality is an impossibility. But saying “Well, perfection is impossible, so we will just do nothing.” or even “Well, there are complexities here, so we will just do nothing.” is just lazy cowardice. Or ideologically motivated.
If you see "quantum" in a general public health product, you know it's going to be a scam, but probably a successful one.

My mother loves those kind of things and no amount of discussion with her will create any doubt in her mind.

I can't blame people falling for this though. They have been disrespected by the traditional health institutions for so long any escape seems good to them.

You can see the same effect in politics. To an extend, the current authorities have a lot of responsability in people listening to crooks.
