Twitter is endangering section 230 but I see no particular benefit to anyone to their action.

Trump’s tweets receive multiple rebuttals and analyses in the press without twitter needing to hide or annotate then. What good have they done?

If on the other-hand, these actions end up enabling the removal of section 230 should Trump win a second term, they will have done one of the greatest disservices ever done to the US.
Are there any authoritative sources that arrive at the same results as the book you recommend? If so, could you link to them, please?

Some context: This page mostly hosts links to freely available online resources (mostly PDFs from other University sites). The advantage is it will show useful results that mostly get lost in Google Search for a broad term (Eg: 'compiler').

I personally feel usability is fine but a little confusing compared to libgen. But that's not an apples-to-apples comparison. I personally don't prefer pirate technical works and search freely available ones (except those mandated by institution etc..).
If you want to be able to tell if a story is conspiracy or not ignore the messenger of the theory. Integrate knowledge of psychology, behavioral biology and basic physics. You're going to find that a lot of conspiracy theories are easy to prove or disprove.
Lots and lots of practice in programming projects that I personally find interesting. I read a lot of tutorials when she was born, but found no tangible rewards. It was only when I begun to put theory into practice that I started to see results.

But the biggest thing I did was get a job in IT. Then I went back to college. In college I think I work harder than most of my peers, who seem to struggle with something as simple as appending to a list in Python, or understanding a while loop in Java.

Meanwhile I am working on a portfolio so I can get a job as a programmer. Here's one of the sites I made recently: http://pichart.com It's not much, but it's a start.
What worries me is not so much the somewhat excessive use of closures itself but rather the combination of closures and the potential for circulcar references.

> "...developed from concept to execution in less than 30 days..."

I can believe that for a website, but I can't believe that about logistics. How is the site's stock being supplied by PepsiCo? Where is it being warehoused? Who's handling fulfillment? Who's handling customer service? Returns?

It goes without saying they must be using a third-party fulfillment center, but still just to set that up, sign contracts, send first (massive) shipments to the warehouse, get all the products registered and stocked... is that possible to do in 30 days for something at the national scale of PepsiCo?
Although working fewer hours can mean more work (or at least a greater distribution of work), producing on a smaller scale is much more efficient than producing on a larger scale.

This is due to Borsodi's law which states that as the cost of production decreases due to centralized operation, the cost of processing and distribution increases disproportionately [1]. For example, if a greenhouse produces one type of fruit for the entire continent, its production costs are low but distribution costs will be much higher e.g. the costs of transporting the fertilizer to the site, and those of transporting the goods as well as cooling, packaging, marketing.These distribution costs will be much higher than in several decentralised small-scale regenerative agriculture productions.

All waste on gasoline, packaging and fertilizer (much of it synthetic) enters in the GDP. In fact the GDP is not a good measure of progress at all and this discourse to clarify why [2]

At the moment in developed countries you have 2% of the population working in agriculture and 40% in distribution. Even if you increase the number of jobs in agriculture (for example to 10%) this would mean a fairly large reduction in employment in distribution.

We have to solve our social and environmental problems even if it does not provide jobs. Employment is a means to an end and not the end in itself.Previous generations created infrastructure unimaginable 100 years ago and that is the reason why there is no employment. To insist on full employment is not to value what has been done.

I leave here a quote from Ralph Borsodi:

"It is more nearly true to say that happiness is dependent not on producing as much as possible but on producing as little as possible. Comfort and understanding are dependent upon producing only so much as is compatible with the enjoyment of the superior life. Producing more than this involves a waste of mankind's most precious possessions. It involves a waste of the only two things which man should really conserve -- the two things which he should use with real intelligence and only for what really conduces to his comfort. When he destroys these two things, he has destroyed what is for all practical purposes irreplaceable. These two things are the natural resources of the earth and the time which he has to spend in the enjoyment of them.
When he produces more things than are necessary to good living, he wastes both of them; he wastes time and he wastes material, both of which should be used to make the world a more beautiful place in which to live, and life in it more beautiful than it is Today".

Better yet, publish as a Russian or Chinese resident. Disclose results to a (preferably not Oracle-using) tech newspaper on the condition of anonymity.
For example, MarketWatch has been pushing articles for months about discrimination relative to public health measures to generate a narrative critical of the U.S. travel ban earlier this year affecting flights to and from China.[1] Closer to home, you can look to the steady diet of fear-based public health reporting that the "news" outlet finally has explicitly disclaimed as non-factual (but always was defective) -- "Due to the rapidly changing nature of the coronavirus public health crisis, some of the recommendations included in this article may eventually become out-of-date."[2]. It's ok to be wrong, but the "news" consistently has been "wrong" in a manner that has generated support for particular political policies, even particlar drugs have become political lightning rods whose efficacy is not being investigated or reported in a fair and reliable manner.[3]

One can explain this, and explain that, but when the sum result is being locked inside for months on end, unemployed, blocked from major life events with a media wrongly cheeleading those policies with wrong and unsupported information, this leads to a loss of trust. I'm not saying the media outlets are on a lark; I'm saying they haven't done their jobs of reporting facts outside the filter of propaganda and political bias which has infected so much policy dialog.

I'm not convinced all the recent research on "conspiracy theorists" is objective science. It seems politically motivated to me.

What bugs me the most is that authoritarians will use this as "scientific proof" that people who question their government are mentally ill.
Two possibilities: the first is that for prototypes (even flight capable prototypes) they're optimizing for cost/iteration time more than performance. Given their apparent plan (which is just to build lots of them sand not worry too much if they blow up), going with simpler methods seems reasonable.

The other possibility is that they straight up are willing to eat the weight penalty, Starship is being put together with different constraints/assumptions than most other systems - like it's literally a stainless steel reusable rocket. Maybe their gaining something from that tradeoff that they prefer more.

I'm leaning towards it mostly being a prototype.
That would be pretty foolish, given the fact that every hand crafted model

Who said anything about hand crafted AI models? I’m talking about revisiting our models of computation. Moore’s law has long made it impossible to challenge the dominance of Von Neumann. Perhaps what we need to make further progress is some sort of decentralized, busless computer? Who knows?
You have redefined "most" to exclude the conspiracy theories that disprove your point.

How often are you told that vaccines cause autism? How often are you told that the earth is flat?

Now compare that to how often you are told that Epstein did not commit suicide, for example.

Most conspiracy theories aren't false, per se. You just only pay attention to, and remember, the ridiculous ones.
No, I'm suggesting that you've not shown they must be used any more than in other languages - and obviously in order to make sense of the examples in Go's documentation you've got to know how they work, and Go is pretty much the language designed for junior backend devs.
Maybe so.

I wonder if people who accept official or authoritative accounts of everything in spite of overwhelming evidence also share a cluster of psychological features?

Yes, it appears that I have.
Another Mail issue I have: if one mail message is highlighted and then I click another and type command-R to reply, the email reply will be to the message that is no longer selected. Sometimes I’ll get a notification of a new email, go to click and send a quick reply (“ok great”), and I’ll have sent the email before I realize that it’s going to the wrong recipient.

It seems crazy to me that the order of operations can be messed up like this. First I clicked, then I command-R’d. Why would Mail handle these commands out of order?

The binary Golay code works on bits. Reed-Solomon code works on symbols that are comprised of many bits.
A RS code with 12 data and 12 parity symbols (not bits!) must have symbol representation of at least 5 bits to cover 12 + 12 = 24 possible code locations. Bit-wise such code will reliably correct only 6 bit errors out of 24 * 5 = 120 bits (assuming t/2 error correction algorithm). If the errors come in bursts, however, that code can correct up to 6 * 5 = 30 bits.
That makes sense -- have you taken a look at M3DB (https://www.m3db.io/)?
Designing a healthcare system that makes people less angry would be a fantastic way to make people trust healthcare institutions more.

License cost tend to be negligeable compared to the cost of devs, dbas,sysadmins, etc, that's true.

But at the same time, it's a can be a huge speed bump in term of procurement. Waiting several weeks for accounting to accept the procurement of a license can really damage business or development speed.

It also adds significant admin load to track the license pool correctly and can represent a legal risk when inevitably, someone starts exceeding the terms of license (db size or db clones, or increase in hardware).
I'm sure that even if we lived in (or better: actively maintained) a much more sane and just world, some people, because they're sick or for other reasons, would still try to find fault with it. But it wouldn't spread like a wildfire.

The rich are getting richer, people who start wars of aggression and whatnot aren't punished, companies have battalions of lawyers and Jane Doe has nothing, we are on the course for environmental collapse and mass extinction, and so on. These are shorthands for huge and very much real issues. And yes, conspiracy theories aren't helping, either, and many people spouting them don't really want to roll up their sleeves and turn this ship around. But that's also true for many people obsessing about conspiracy theorists, too.

Let's say the emperor is naked. Most people say variations of "nice clothes! maybe some issues here and there, but nothing major". Some people go "he's butt naked!". And yet others go "he's wearing planet Jupiter as a hat!". The latter are obviously wrong, but it's still just so awkward when the people who think he has nice clothes on start to laugh at those thinking he is wearing Jupiter as a hat, and lump everyone who doesn't think he's wearing nice clothes into that category. It's as if the mainstream is using these even sicker people to pretend it itself is not sick, contrary to the mountains of evidence.
I agree that the requirement from Apple here is kind of dumb, but I don’t see how it would not be in the best interest of a user of an app on an iOS device to have the option to sign in with an Apple ID. It also seems silly to consider it “garbage” when you already using a Google Account solution that is essentially the same thing.

Most theories claiming to be "conspiracies" are nuts.

When free speech outweighs censorship, spam can be used to make signal harder to find by increasing noise.

If there is useful signal associated with "foo", then "fake foo" (embrace and extend) makes it more expensive to find "foo" signal. This is still preferable to censorship, since increased literacy enables real signals to be found.

It does mean that scientists who can't or won't differentiate between good and bad science are bad scientists.

Conspiracy theorists who claim to merely be skeptical of the "status quo" but cannot or will not differentiate between a plausible conspiracy theory (say, Snowden or Epstein) and an implausble one (5g towers cause COVID) are bad skeptics.
Weak evidence is not the same as a shaky assumption, which is not evidence at all.

> Conspiracies happen

As do coincidences. This isn’t about conspiracies but about conspiracy theories.

A provable conspiracy is two or more agents coming together, even without their awareness of alignment, to achieve a single specific secretive goal as qualified with evidence. Qualified evidence is any single or series of provable facts that directly links each participating agent to the secretive goal with intent. The most important part of that is proving intent. A conspiracy theory is a belief there should be a conspiracy but without the necessary qualified evidence.

Coincidence - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coincidence

Conspiracy theory (nonsense) - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory

Conspiracy - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy

Intention - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intention

Given the terms I find it’s not at all far fetched to conclude there exists some common mental health defect that allows conspiracy theories to flourish amongst some people and not others.

My mother worked in a funeral home from about 1986 to 1997. I recall when they got their first AIDS victim in 1987. They took the body and I don’t recall my Mother freaking out about it. They realized that sooner or later they were going to get remains of someone who had died of AIDS. There were few protocols at the time regarding how to prepare bodies for viewing and I think they simply used common sense. I recall my Mother describing double gloves, smocks, and face shields when dealing with the blood. Despite the times, I think the folks who work in the funeral industry at that time (mostly family run) were truly compassionate about caring for someone’s remains regardless of who they were and didn’t judge. While they had concerns about dealing with this first case, it became routine (sadly) very quickly thereafter. I’d imagine they received referrals from their handling of that first case. And very quickly they started handling all remains are handled as if they were HIV positive.

The only other thing I do recall was some concern on this first case about folks showing up to disrupt the Funeral in part because most of the mourners were from the gay community. So I think they hired the an officer from the local PD to provide security but nothing happened.
This sounds almost feasible if one feels comfortable to install a flow meter and a thermometer into the tap, and to hook it up with a microcontroller. Setting a certain temperature requires more work. I wonder whether there are products on the market for this already.
I'm not as familiar with Oracle, but surely it is providing significant benefits or large organizations would be dumping it and running to more reliable alternatives. These time estimates are also not very pertinent to the actual running of a large database. Nor do they speak to the various technical problems one has when running a big db that is mission critical.

Lots of the classic hn "how can they be so stupid?" comments. Give the cto's more credit. Just because you write JavaScript and used mongodb once does not make you an expert on Oracle or running a very large business.
Fortunately YAML is not actually necessary in k8s, and only provided as a convenience because writing JSON by hand (or Proto3, lol) is annoying verging on insane.

We can build higher level abstractions easily having a schema to target and we can build them in whatever we want. That's a big boon for me :)
Well I think we want to apply insight from the tech world to a variety of topics.

This is one of those things we’re having difficulty applying insight into because it’s a systemic issue within the Police department that revolves around power dynamics, accentuated by race (or an issue around race, accentuated by power dynamics).

If we had to frame the discussion for optimal discourse here, we should try to find the parallels in power dynamics within our field. Otherwise this topic is better off on Reddit, where no particular lens is applied other than the general human experience.

Depends a lot on what machine you are using and how parallelized the compile script is. Modern CPUs (threadripper 39x0Xs) can compile the Linux kernel in under 30s. With that in mind, does is it really surprising that Postgres can take 3.30m?
Social media as we know it is just further exposing the rot at the core of our thinking. Before the rise of Twitter and Facebook you had shock jockeys rule the radio world spreading conspiracy theories and what not. Social media has amplified those effects by allowing them to fester and indeed among many far right media sources you see them gleefully engage in such rhetoric as well (see: Seth Rich).

Social media is part of the greater symptom which is that conspiratorial thinking has gained mass appeal.
