What exactly would be the public benefit of social media companies taking responsibility for user content? As far as I can see this framework does a fair job of making the same remedies available, just against the authors instead of the social media companies.
Ok,fair enough, looks like they were taking it more serious than I ever thought.
It's quite interesting that they called it Industrial Aesthetics.

Exactly. My spouse and I like spending time in the same room, even if we are not directly interacting with each other. Therefore, when arranging furniture, we deliberately had the computer desk go in the living room, so that video games would not require isolation. Now that same computer desk is also the work desk 8 hours every day, but it is still the living room.
Sad to see the decline. I still don't fully understand - what went so wrong after Khrushchev? Did the leaders just get too old and they couldn't trust new blood in the upper echelons of the party?

(Note: obviously things were bad before Khrushchev too - Stalin was horrible and committed genocide, but he was more purgy and less stagnant than Brezhnev and Andropov)

It's a fact, not disputed by either party, that he offered to sell them a generic cake or one with a different message. So it's not true that he denied them service "because" they were gay.

Thought experiment: Imagine an individual woman went into the store and said to him "My son is marrying his boyfriend this weekend. Can you make a custom cake for them?" The baker says no. Should that be illegal?

Thought experiment #2: Imagine an alt-right troll goes into a Jewish bakery and asks for a cake that says "Jesus is Lord". The baker says no. Should that be illegal?
I guess one question is why isn't he using facebook right now if its an even better platform?

Facebook is now that thing that I only ever log into on my computer when I want to talk to family members and ignore people sharing dumb things.

Twitter is that thing that chimes 2 seconds after someone I am interested says something interesting.

I don't think they are the same thing at ALL.

If an online forum wants to curate speech it should be treated as a publisher. Or, perhaps develop some legal regime that recognizes that smaller forums can be restrict to certain topics, but not viewpoints if they want to retain their immunity against defamation.

>>If instead there is a single company that decides who gets to say what on their platform, and network effects build a castle wall, regulations should force a change (such as opening the protocol) to make alternatives viable.

yeah, twitter could implement plug-in choose-your-own fact checking, but that would create a scary market outside twitter's control. Since the number of twitter users is roughly finite this could mean a reduction in attention share to twitter proper...
RustPython might paint a prettier picture for a better future in this regard.

I think that's true in the pre-Zoom world. About a year ago I started using Zoom for my remote team. It dramatically improved the effect you described, for all of us.

I run a small company and for the non-technical folks we have lunches twice a week via Zoom. It has worked wonders.

Other than the medical and economic catastrophe that is this pandemic, it has been absolutely wonderful for my company. Hopefully we'll exist as a company in a year from now.
As a small point of data against this, I've been promoted twice at my current company. Starting salary was 100k, promoted to level C engineer at 110k, now level B engineer at 125k.

Spot-checking and using search for counts, most are manipulation of mail-in or absentee ballots (many being a bunch of ballots by a single person), with the next highest looking like individual people voting who didn't realize they were ineligible.
Without even digging up a list, just the most offensive couple actions I can remember:

1. 2015 "Waters of the United States" (WOTUS) rule, which grabbed federal control over private property which happened to sometimes drain into a US coastal water or into a navigable US river

2. 2011 “Dear Colleague” letter issued by the Department of Education, that denied due process to students who were accused
Way to exemplify OPs point.

I mean, I consider myself Pro-office because I like to personally interact with my coworkers, and I also enjoy the feeling of camaraderie that comes when a bunch of people get together to tackle a certain problem. Depending on your company, a lot of things can also get sorted out quicker when you can talk face to face to your manager/colleagues (though good processes and practices can mitigate this somewhat).

I don't have strong opinions on whether other people should or should not WFH, however. I don't see the need to make this an us vs them issue, at least not when talking between us regular programmers (I am in favor of taking the fight to the higher-ups, though).
The comment was talking about there being a blurred line in how these companies exist in our world today. Not arguing for cake based discrimination. If Twitter and co are in novel ethical territory, it's worth questioning if we need new a new paradigm.
Pots ok. But is McConnell is elected among equals. He can be removed? The rest of republican leaders, party and voters to them (and pots) cannot be totally spare. At least not in the next cycle. If they are both re-elected (McConnell is “re-elected” everyday in a sense).
People who write these articles assume that remote work will be "Secondary" to office work. Wake up, it's already primary work, and it s going to stay that way for about a year due to health concerns. Afterwards, when half the people return to the half-empty office, companies will prioritize remote first, office will become secondary, and soon after a liability. Until a month ago , remote workers were the rare exception, now everyone is already a remote veteran. Past remote work experience is a very bad predictor of a remote-first workplace.
We definitely use virtualenv and pip. But:

1) There's a world of difference between that and docker, and especially docker with containers for not just postgresql, but a half-dozen specialized data stores, queuing systems, MTAs, etc.

2) There's also a world of difference between having numpy / pandas / etc. in your requirements.txt, and having those pinned to a specific version. I'm okay with one or two pinned dependencies on any specific project (for example, if there's an overall project built on Django).

But if you're using the corners of standard libraries in ways where version 1.65 works and 1.73 doesn't, you're probably doing something wrong. You're probably using features which are too bleeding-edge. I'm okay with a few conditionals in code too (if library is 1.65, do X, and if it's 1.73, do Y).

When I've seen systems that to depend on nuances of specific versions, upgrades turn into "migration to [library] 1.73" and eat up weeks of developer time. It gets worse when you have cascades (upgrading library X means upgrading Y, etc.).

And goodness help you if you want to integrate two systems built in docker with pinned everything and fine-grained dependencies.

A lot of this also comes back to willing and able to say "no" to features which take 15 minutes to introduce, but cost time down the line to maintain.

Systems which install on Ubuntu without virtualenv or pip (just apt-get installing packages) are an ideal I strive for. It's usually one I don't hit (and it's also not how I develop, obviously -- it's not for me, but for my users, as well as for the discipline).
Twitter is nothing like Fox and NBC, unless they've managed to pick up a broadcast license without anyone noticing.

Fox and NBC are only required to provide political campaigns equal access because of their licenses to exclusive use of portions of the public spectrum.

Cable channels like CNN and Fox News don't use this spectrum, and thus don't have the same requirement. Twitter is more like a cable channel than a broadcast station.

If by some bizarre chain of events this chimp actually manages to reign in all the shittiness that permeates freely on YouTube, FB+WA+IG and Twitter I think he would have made the world whole for fucking up covid.

My 2 cents has always been that we should just ban the advertising incentive entirely from social platforms. All the expensive data harvesting, the tricks to keep you addicted, the shit UIs etc would end automatically. They would end up smaller and poorer and we'd all be better off.

While I think the popularity of it in such contexts came about after this page was published, I'd also add "Useless use of dd": the application of dd to do a non-transformative copy to or from device files.

In Unix, "everything is a file" means that even hardware devices are accessible using standard file APIs, and as such, doing procedures like "cp debian.iso /dev/sdg" to write out a USB device with a bootable ISO image is perfectly valid. One could even use "cat debian.iso > /dev/sdg" if desired, though the command doesn't quite convey the same meaning as cp, nor is it a concatenate operation.

In the 21st century however, it has become popular to use "dd if=debian.iso of=/dev/sdg" instead, and for the best I can tell, I think it stems from former DOS and Windows users, that make the assumption that hardware devices are special and require special programs to access, and somehow landed on dd being the special tool. Even though dd is really meant for transformative copies -- the program was originally written to convert documents between ASCII and EBCDIC! Worse than that, too, is that dd's mechanism of reading in and writing out in fixed-size blocks means that it's often much slower than just using cp.
Charging batteries is usually a bit more complicated than pumping DC into them.

In this case one assumes the battery itself isn't odd, but it uses a different type of cable or similar (Don't know what the capacity is but I assume it would be high enough to need serial and sense lines on the charging cable)
No, you're wrong.

>lies and hateful rhetoric

There is simply no objective definition for either of these concepts and if you may be fine with Twitter having this kind of power now, but you may regret it if the shoe is ever on the other foot.

Having a corporate arbiter of truth is antithetical to a free society, especially when creating one's own platform is impractical because of network effects.

Who is going to fact check the fact checker? Effectively Twitter has the final word because this is their platform - not because they are correct, and if these political squabbles had an objectively correct answer then we wouldn't have multiple parties.

People are find with it right now because it's en Vogue to hate on the president, but that doesn't mean the fact checking is justified or even honest - and I reiterate, the dangerous part here is that people implicitly take Twitter to be an authority when they absolutely are not. Their fact check isn't even accurate, but people don't tend to question what they want to hear.

Twitter's role is a neutral party - the same way that journalists are ultimately doing a disservice to society by editorializing everything while claiming to be neutral. It is dishonest and divides society from the top down.
How old is your Mac? That issue sounds very strange to me.

CoreAudio is far and away the most impressive and powerful audio API across the board. It's ridiculous how much you can do with it and the abstractions it provides.

It's also been better, faster, and supported lower latency than Windows up until WASAPI came around - you needed to use ASIO on Windows for years. Even today you can't programmatically change the sample rate of a device on Windows, which means that engines like RtAudio have to do resampling under the hood to support basic functionality that's been in CoreAudio.

The only problem with it is that the documentation has evaporated. Which admittedly is a big one.

Twitter is publishing everything any person tweets. Those 2 comments are nothing compared to the power of selectively blocking/publishing users tweets (which communication companies are not allowed to do), but at the same time not be responsible for copyright violations (which other types of media companies are).
Makes sense. Middle managers love their analytics and dashboards.
Could you elaborate? AFAIK, Rust entirely prevents data races between threads, but it doesn't do anything special at all for other kinds of race conditions.

Micromanagement isn't about frequency of contact so much as the amount of control the worker has over their work. The biggest micromanager I ever worked for would forget I existed for days or a week at a time, only to come in tell me to throw out hours of work and do very specific, arbitrary things instead because he just liked it better a different way. The most hands-off boss I've ever had would drop by for a chat almost every day, but mostly just to get thoughts on overall direction and discuss ideas he was mulling.
Have you heard anything about Joplin? I believe it behaves similarly.

Anyone who replies to you is guilty of selective editorialization of an individual covered by the first amendment. Except me. I'm not expressing an opinion. It seems unwise in an age like this.
Sorry, I may have been unclear. I'm not saying the risk adds up to zero somehow; it's the risk you face over a normal year, in addition to the actual risk of living through 2020 which you'll still face. In other words, if the virus spread to everyone in the US this year, we'd expect to see 2 normal years worth of deaths this year.

The health system does need to be prevented from collapsing, but that can be achieved with measures much less severe than "no socializing". Strict lockdowns may have been necessary before, but they're not necessary now, which is why they're being rolled back pretty much across the globe.
Yes essentially the leaders become like religious leaders. The problem is there is usually a kernel of truth to what they are saying which makes it easy to buy into if you're not thinking critically about it.
The hardware physical/cloud toggle is also interesting.
Just leaving your code in the old style seems viable. My Rust code from 2017 still compiles just fine on the latest stable compiler. There are a bunch of ways I could simplify the code now (mainly enabled to non-lexical lifetimes), and I would if I needed to change the relevant section of code. But I definitely don't need to.

The Rust compiler itself has lots of code in a really old style (much of it predates Rust 1.0, and originally used features that Rust no longer has). And it's generally considered to be maintainable code.

> If we're talking about having the typography shown to user A look exactly the same as that shown to user B, why does that matter?

Well, I suppose that's a valid question, but it's moving the goalposts. We were talking about having consistent fonts, and I'm claiming it's absolutely possible by using web fonts (after all, that's the reason web fonts exist).
Sure they can, just get Chrome to notify Google whenever a site uses one of the pre-downloaded webfonts.

Chrome is pretty chatty with Google; you probably wouldn't notice the extra traffic from these notifications.

I find that an ability to search the knowledgebase exceeds the value of organizing according to a hierarchy. I can see some value in linking/backlinking à la an encyclopedic "See also" reference for discovering similar information that doesn't share keywords.

Are there other disadvantages to an "all search" solution I'm overlooking?
That's an interesting idea that I haven't heard discussed yet. I think it makes a lot of sense, as the remote vs in-office divide is more pronounced when the experience isn't uniform.
Honestly, this is now their best response. If Twitter is going to be held responsible for the content posted by its users, then banning someone like Trump who constantly uses the platform to lie, harass, defame, and threaten is a no brainer.

Isn't that statically compiled though?

I haven't checked too much into Rust but I seem to recall it could be dynamically compiled. I would imagine any OS base tools would be dynamically compiled anyways.

Though considering the lengths that package managers go to for dependency management, maybe static linking everything is not a bad idea after all, I don't mind a 10GB OS image on disk as long as it isn't actually wasting memory.
Its complex, but Price suggested vitamin K from animal fats was the key element. All traditional diets were heavy in animal fats, either meat or raw dairy/cheese. Vegetables and fruit were only eaten seasonally, and not in high volume.
>Selling only perfect fruit is literally foodwaste right there.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you haven't exactly explained why "food waste" is a bad thing. I've given a reason why it could be considered a good thing: it can reduce the cost and increase total food that is purchased.

For an absurd example, see the "Eat your vegetables, because there are children starving in China" argument. Just because it would be nice if every hungry person had food, doesn't mean that letting any food go to waste is necessarily immoral by itself.

> If you publish something illegal then you bear the consequences.

So let's look at today. You have a tweet from a conservative group that "concludes" that the only way forward for America is violent action, up to and including murder of political opponents. "The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat".

To me, it seems that there is a plausible argument to be made that this group is inciting violence.

And then Trump re-tweeted it, with the additional commentary, "Thanks, Cowboys of America!".

If we want to compare "consequences of speech and platforms", then on one hand we have hand-wringing about "Twitter _annotated_ a tweet with links to resources about the substance of that tweet", versus "group hints at violent oppression of political opponents, and is given the thumbs up by political leader".

I was going to say "I know which one I find more problematic", but lest someone attempt a slippery slope retort, I'll be more clear: I find only one of these actions at all problematic (and it's not annotation of tweets).
Additionally, the intervention Twitter seems to have chosen here wasn’t actually to silence the user (who happens to be the current President), but to mark/annotate with a fact check label, which is essentially responding to speech with more speech. That’s entirely compatible with even far-reaching 1A readings and robust philosophical perspectives on it.

And in fact, Twitter’s civil leadership policy has been allowing such users (including Trump) extra leeway.

The fact that Trump is mad about this shows that what he’s concerned about isn’t his own freedoms of speech are being impinged on, but that his freedom from accountability in discourse might be threatened.
I would like C functions to have default parameter values, and named parameters.

There are some tricks to achieve this, but they’re all rather cumbersome.
I don't quite understand why the expect that there would be ~6x the number detected, though, assuming that the ~8500 cases detected is accurate. It would be very (and probably statistically naive) if the minimum total cases was simply because they have only ~1/6 of the total number of state pairings.

I think the other major concern I have, other than the methodology, are the definitions - I still don't know whether 8500 represents 8500 people who voted twice (17000 total votes cast), or 4250 people who voted twice, or something in between, or some thing completely different. Perhaps I missed this.

Specific to the US, the 1st amendment prevents the restriction of speech by government, which in some cases overlaps into private enterprise.
