>Regardless of whether the First Amendment legally compels it, I don't think that a healthy democracy can exist in a society that doesn't have tolerance for unpopular speech.

Society should tolerate it in terms of not throwing people in jail for speech.

We have to remember, though, that if we want a marketplace of ideas, we have to let the marketplace do its thing. If the vast majority of people don't like your speech, you may be relegated to the grimy back-quarters of the internet, just as cranks and racists in the past were relegated to shitty newsletters and HTML pages.

This is part of how healthy discourse happens in society. If society can't push out shitty/toxic/dumb ideas from our discourse, we'll just be recycling the same nonsense over and over again and never make progress solving real problems.

Great question! The source files are actually HTML so in truth you are editing HTML but just chunks of HTML. I think the benefit is that it assembles and organizes the HTML so you don't have to repeat yourself with various things like nav bars, etc.

Also by using vanilla HTML it makes it possible to find any CSS targeting your vanilla HTML on the internet and drop it in like so. https://findingmyhtmlgoddess.com/blog/post/seeking-html-godd...

In any case, you could totally take the output in the docs folder and never use the framework again if you wanted. :)
Ah yes, why won't anyone think of the poor administrators who get paid obnoxious salaries for doing effectively none of the labor that goes into providing an education for the students.
Trump calls for Congress to revoke Section 230 of the CDA
Fairly intersting viewpoint, although disagree with the author (if I interpret the post correctly, English is not my native language). Just ignoring any "ethical" view point (because they are subjective and hard to agree on) and looking just at the practicality of the idea:

> the danger is a mess of unenforceable licenses whose prohibitions become impossible to keep track of

This is imho the most important part; once you start using basically personal license (I mean, each developer (person) has different set of values; some would be fine with military applications, some not; some would be fine with non-profit (doctors without borders) using their code, some would not), it becomes basically impossible to be sure your code is compliant or not.

Once you realize that your would need to basically evaluate every single license in the dependency tree in depth (since they are basically non-standard, personal licenses at this point), it turns into insane amount of work. And expensive, since it would probably needed to be done by a lawyer.

The split between gpl2, gpl3 and apache 1.0 and 2.0 is bad enough already.
Hiding the tweet instead of removing it seems like a good compromise to me, but I think this sets a pretty difficult precedent for Twitter. Once you start hiding tweets like this, you are implying that any high profile tweets you don't hide are not classified as glorifying violence. And every time you hide a tweet for glorifying violence, people who supported that tweet will show examples of other tweets which were not hidden to show that it should not have been hidden/removed. Seems like an impossible standard to uphold given the amount of people glorifying violence on their platform.
I believe that petty crime is the cost of a free society.

Strong arm tactics used by police do not stop it. It is simply going to happen. Spending resources to make sure everyone has what they need will drop petty crime rates.

this is all my opinion.
They were released 30 minutes later, with the governor apologizing saying there was no reason for them to be arrested.

You're absolutely on the wrong side of this. On the wrong side of illegal arrests of the press. Of fucking CNN literally live broadcasting.

We have extremely good treatments for HIV. And that one is particularly difficult to cure because it infects your immune system.

Cancer isn't an infection and is a million different diseases lumped together.

We could prevent the flu much more reliably if it didn't mutate so much. Will this disease do the same? Maybe. It's very hard to know.
"Permitting crime" and not hassling everyone who looks a certain way or is in a certain area are two VERY different things.

People are harassed and delayed for no reason just because of the way they look or where they are coming/going from, even if its their neighborhood. They're also ticketed for minor offenses due to those same "reasons" meanwhile people elsewhere are not having those same offenses punished. You will find plenty of stories from people who lives in neighborhoods where this was applied where you literally have to allow extra time to come and go from your own home because its likely you will be stopped and questioned just going about your daily lives. That would not fly in more affluent communities.

"Proactive Policing" allows implicit and other biases of the police force to be acted on directly because there needs to be no crime to stop someone, its entirely on the polices judgement on who to stop and why.

> If Twitter is going to police people, it needs to be across the board.

One way to look at this is that that's exactly what Twitter has started doing. The president violated the TOS, and got the treatment prescribed under the TOS. His EO yesterday essentially asked for everyone to be treated in accordance with the TOS, so he's (ironically) getting exactly what he asked for.

It remains to be seen whether, in compliance with the EO, they apply this to everyone in a transparent and uniform way from now on. I hope they do.
The counterpoint to your argument is that if it is so easy to create those types of communities for much less money than what universities are charging, why hasn't it happened?

I would guess that it's a combination of 1. not being as easy as it seems and 2. network effects. Because of the latter, you would basically have to persuade a large number of students to make the switch at the same time for them to feel as if they still have the social/professional networking they get from the on-campus experience.
Solving century-old math problem to predict transmission of infectious diseases
There is a worse side effect that comes from conservatives feeling that they have been silenced, as people feel like they have less and less say in a political process they are more and more likely to start employing means outside of it. The real risk here is that if more and more outlets for conservative voices are silenced, whether for good cause or not, this will reinforce the narrative that many of them have that they are the defenders of the truth and right and there is a vast conspiracy operating to seize their guns, deprive them of their rights, and whatever else they can imagine. As that happens there becomes more and more moral justification and greater and greater need there is seen to employ violence in end of their goals.

Ultimately the more and more "dangerous" opinions and people who share those opinions are silenced the more and more dangerous they become in reality.

The bot is simply down.
I would say 90% of all bots are down all the time and most of them completely go offline within the first 3 months.

There are a lot of reasons for that. like
- no revenue
- made by beginners with no scalability in mind so it simply cant handle the traffic if a bot gets popular
- lose of interest in developing if it doesn't "blow up" soon
- every good idea is instantly copied especially if the code is public there will be clones all over the place.
- no official way to promote your bot. Most large groups will directly ban you if you tell em about the bot you made. Some even have bots to auto-ban if you name another bot. Everything is considered advertising/spam very toxic behavior in a lot groups. As with everything free on the internet there are the 0.1% who create and all other consume and give back nothing.

Source: I'm on Telegram since nearly day one. I run roughly a dozen completely free to use bots since many years. Some of them with thousands of daily users.
That link is incredibly helpful! Only slightly non-sequitur...
I doubt it. A lot of people could afford it but either think using Apple fuels an anticonsumer empire or think that it offers little advantage over the competition.
It clutters up spam
And, try to get those things from foods. It can't be said enough: Fruits and Vegetables have extremely high densities of all your minerals and vitamins. I've calculated all their densities here based on USDA nutritional info: https://kale.world/c All the results are normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison.

When you get your vitamins/minerals from a pill, you run the risk of your body not absorbing it because that's not how our bodies adapted to absorb those things for millions of years.

If you're eating a healthy diet (90%+ plant based whole foods), you will get more than enough minerals/vitamins and amino acids.

Taking a few spoon fulls of hemp seeds is an excellent idea: it's super high in magnesium which is a mineral that most of us are greatly lacking. But, I would consider hemp seeds as just another food part of a plant based whole foods diet. personally, i add it to salads, smoothies, etc.

And you don't need Vitamin K supplements. Greens are extraordinarily high in Vitamin K. Even, just 20 calories of Spinach will provide over 400% of your daily Vitamin K intake!

People, be especially careful with supplements, they're very much unregulated and can put almost anything they want in those things.

Nature makes the best supplements: it's called food (plant based whole foods with a variety of grains and beans, lots of vegetables and fruits and some meat) and it has everything our body needs. Yes, for vitamin D, you'll need to go outside and get some exposure to the sun. Actually, doctor's tell us, Vitamin D isn't even a Vitamin, it's actually a hormone that your body makes all on it's own with enough exposure to sun. But, based on your skin pigmentation, you may need more or less exposure.

> "When universities across the U.S. shut their doors because of the coronavirus pandemic and sent students home, many did offer partial refunds of dorm and activities fees."

It comes down to the amount of the refund. Students are still receiving something online, but less than they'd receive in person, both in quality of education (e.g. no chemistry labs) and everything else that physical attendance comes with. Arguing for a higher discount factor seems fine to me, and probably depends on the amount the college has already agreed to.
But even if illegal it still can happen and as far as I know that flipped vote of the elector would still count.

Especially since in many instances, you don't actually want a dialogue with the spammer. I don't want to 'unsubscribe' myself given that I didn't 'subscribe' myself in the first place. Also, why would I let the spammer know that I read the email and my email is active?
They still come to me when I hit spam, and the unsubscribe button doesn't always work either. I still find myself using the distributors unsubscribe button most of the time.

i dont really understand concept of SPoF. My windows servers have never really failed me. In case machine reboots in the middle of your batch - Task scheduler can restart your job. In case the job fails, it can retry after a certain interval.

you can configure your job to retry unless it returns success - and unless someone nukes your windows machine - it will get executed. if you are afraid that your windows machine will get nuked - then you can use SQL Server Agent on High Availability Cluster - and it will do the job.

if you want your jobs as a code - you can code them in Powershell and store in git/azure devops repo. You can deploy your jobs with the same powershell, or even use a CI/CD pipeline to do that.
There's not enough liability, perhaps, but there's certainly some. Here[0] is a list of police department settlements and another[1] of individual police officers being tried and/or convicted for recent high-profile killings. Note that media coverage is inherently sensational and therefore not reflective of reality--just because the media gives much more attention to killings than to the legal repercussions doesn't mean that the latter doesn't exist.

In this particular instance, surely CNN has a strong case against the Minneapolis police department?

Putting ethics and legality aside (if you can, and you shouldn't), it's a marvellous technical achievement to be able to take a beam splitter and analyse all the traffic. I assume they must do a lot of early filtering in hardware to select traffic of interest based on IP headers and then some deeper inspection, and then gradually move up to software on the filtered traffic. Do we think they start with dedicated ASICs, perhaps add FPGAs for second line filtering which would give them a degree of adaptability, then software for the rest? What were internet backbone speeds like in the early 2000s?
Yep, that basically sums up what we're looking into---a system image that still keeps up with the latest API levels and features introduced in the latest Android OS, but has minimal impact on resources.
These units seem _incredibly_ low to me. Your skin can generate almost 3000 IU in just 15 minutes on the right day. Many doctors even recommend treatments of 150,000 IU or more, in one go to correct deficiencies (do not do attempt without a doctor's recommendation and supervision).

I do not doubt your experience, but it seems incredible to me that just a 5000 IU supplement gave you heart palpitations. Then again, I've also read many reports about incorrectly labeled products (e.g. milk, supplements, etc.) which contained far more D2 or D3 than what was written on the tin, causing toxicity.
VR seems to be catching on. Is the experience that much better than a normal screen?
Someone who does not make any money doesn't need to care about student loans either. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the debt collectors can only collect what exists.

This seems like an escalation. How would both sides continuing to escalate play out?

Trump would probably get banned at some point, especially if his tweets start to endanger rank-and-file Twitter employees (inspiring death threats, etc.). How likely is he to get injunctive relief if he gets banned?

For anyone interested, this company is unrelated to the original Microprose from a corporate history perspective, it’s just some people who bought the name “Microprose” at an IP auction. However they have enlisted Wild Bill Stealey as some kind of advisor, so they are at least attempting to connect with the history.

(Wild Bill was one of the two founders of Microprose. The other, Sid Meier, has his own things going on.)

I’m unclear as to whether this new Microprose has rights to any of the original Microprose games, either in a “rereleasing the original” or in a “doing a remake” sense. Obviously TakeTwo has a lot of the rights — either that they bought directly or that Sid/Firaxis had and they acquired when they bought out Firaxis — which is how they can release new Civ and XCOM and Pirates. I think Sid owns Silent Service too, to pick a random example of one they haven’t done anything with, though I don’t remember for sure.

Spam is spam. The sad state of things is that people are bombarded with garbage, exponentially worse than the physical mail system used to be.

The engagement and conversion rate on email is so low that the volume continually increases to convert further.
I generally click "unsubscribe" in the email, then if I have to do more than click a big, obvious confirmation button on that page I close the tab and flag it as spam.
I think it's better to place everything in one DAG if that solves the problem. If it doesn't then sensors are ok I guess, but I would try to avoid them otherwise.

As the article says, D works with other vitamins to do a lot of things. It works with K to help calcium get into your bones. Otherwise you can absorb it and it can hang around in places it's not really supposed to, and that turns out to not be a good thing. You're probably better off with D + K (if you need it) than trying to skimp on D.

(I have celiac [1], and I had to learn about this connection the hard way. The horrid thing is that my normal daily lunch was an enormous bowl of leafy greens, exactly where you're supposed to get vitamin K from, and I still had to supplement it. Calcium in the wrong places was one of the contributing factors to my heart issues in the link. I still have to be a bit careful not to eat too much hard cheese, but only slightly more careful than a normal person who faces potentially blocking themselves up anyhow.)
