I don't see why Republicans can't just use another platform like gab or voat if they think reddit has become hostile to them. Reddit being a private company has every right to control what ideologies are promoted on their pages just as you have every right to start your own reddit clone and moderate it however you feel.

There's even an open source core with which to start from: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit
> This reads to me as a stunning indictment of social networks

Or more generally, going back to the grandparent post here, this reads to me as a stunning indictment of Silicon Valley...
This brings to mind Elon Musk and his many failed rockets. Normally a rocket failure is so expensive it has the potential to bankrupt even a rich company. In a pure capitalistic system investors would not risk suck long term goals as going to Mars, when it involves many rocket failures, and no profits.
But its in the national interest to push such research forward for the sake of humanity. So if state provides some welfare, or a cushion, to hedge such risky thing as building rockets, don't we all benefit. In a similar way to the way government grants pay for research at universities.
Its obviously a balance.

I live in Canada, a huge country. Its not profitable for any company to provide power to remote places with only a few inhabitants. Its only possible because the government mandates it, and the rest of us subsided it.
It's a shame that the conversation here is dominated by Unity's failings. This looks interesting, but the way the author seems to be hoping for support seems improbable to work imo.

I'm a hobbyist game dev who played in Unity for a few years and recently switched to Unreal. I'm not so well versed that I can speak the merits of this under the hood rendering pipeline or the other. A few general comments as an onlooker though on the engines themselves:

* Unity's interface is pretty simple. Mostly things stay on one screen, whereas Unreal has many nested submenus and its easy to get lost. The editor itself also requires a pretty decent computer to run, whereas Unity will run fine on most setups.

* Unreal has substantially better free content and pre-made stuff available than Unity. It's not even close.

* Unreal's blueprint system is easier to dive into and helps create a sense of one idiomatic way to do things, whereas Unity is more free form and has a lot of possible ways to do things which are, as you would eventually hopefully learn, bad.

* Unreal feels like its evolving into a better product. Unity feels like its falling apart.
I have always thought that (primary, secondary) was much better and more extensible terminology.
This is really quite short-sighted. Sure, customers like this in the short term. But this hurts the website owner.

e.g. 1: You are a restaurant or retailer and your potential customers search Google for your hours of operation or phone number. Google shows them the answer so they never come to your site. So they don't see that you have a free delivery offer during the Covid crisis. And you can't market to them via any campaign that retargets visitors to your site.

e.g. 2: You are a publisher that makes money from ads, like say CelebrityNetWorth [1]. Google steals your content and you never get the traffic you'd like to monetize. This is HN so there will be scorn for the ad-fueled business model. But they serve a need. It's one thing for the market to punish ad-monetized sites, it's quite another for Google to steal from them.

e.g. 3: You are Wikipedia. While your content is free, you rely on community contributions to grow. If someone never visits your site, they don't learn about your mission, don't learn that they can contribute. Your corpus stagnates.

The only reason Google gets away with this is because they are stealing pennies from millions of people rather than millions from a single entity. Indie content creators do not have the resources to fight Google on this, because G offers them an all-or-nothing option[2]: you can either be in Google search results or not. And no one can afford not to be.

Google has been so emboldened that they now change the content and user experience _on the website_.[3] Consumers click through to your site and Google will scroll them to a specific section, and highlight that in yellow. Not only does Google control who gets to your site via the search monopoly, but they steal your content, and control how people experience _your_ site.

Sorry friend, this has nothing to do with being politcaly conservative. Those are religious nuts. There is a new generation of conservatives that are tech-savvy and not bible thumpers. Stop being ignorant.
This has been a fairly obvious service that has been missing for a while, nice to see them provide a solution.

Most dependency management tools have some kind of hacky support for using S3 directly.

Full fledged artifact management tools like Artifactory and Nexus support S3 backed storage.

Interesting to see that the pricing is approximately double that of S3, for what I imagine is not much more than a thin layer on top of it.

It's not Capitalism that is failing. It's Democracy and Government. We can't effectively identify problems and pass laws that fix them.

Our society is like a runaway train and we can try and apply the brakes here and there, but everyday people don't have the power to say, "This is wrong, lets do something different."

If it was just a case of rich getting richer and poor getting poorer then, yes perhaps the problem is Capitalism, but there are a lot of other problems in society that we seem unable to fix.

Police brutality, Medical Insurance, College Loans. Guns. The worlds on fire and we are not moving quick enough to reduce CO2 emissions.

update: To clarify, what I was trying to say is that, if we had a functioning Democracy, we would identify that there is a problem where some people are very rich, and some very poor, and we would be able to make new laws that solve the problem. (Like taxing rich people for example.)
Honestly, imho of course, open standards are even more important than open source. At least with open standards anyone can make their own implementation.

At least until we reach the bloat level of the web.
I mean how my head twists and turns relative to my body/keyboard/mouse throughout the day.

So, for example, a primary monitor in front and two secondary monitors to the left can be problematic for me - my main content might be front and center, but constantly looking off to the left only, and not the right, causes problems.

Balance it with another monitor or two on the right - and moving content over there as well - and I won't have any issues, even if I'm still using the leftmost monitor some.

But then, I can cause problems with that same setup - if for example I have only the leftmost monitor(s) connected to a Mac Mini, and end up doing a bunch of iOS/OS X dev/porting/debugging in a row. When I first had problems, I was using Synergy - I stopped doing that as much in favor of a second keyboard/mouse, or shelling into that machine (despite it being on my desk!)
All those "it's better on the app" pop ups make me sad for the web team that had to implement an interstitial trashing their own work.
Tax strategy usually moves into general finance since they go hand in hand. :)

We discuss salaries and total compensation too, so we are better prepared for our own negotiations.

And also, spending on the credit card and then selling stock to pay it off isn’t necessarily reckless or overspending. Imagine if it were all cash. Would you say they’re overspending because they pay out half their paycheck each month saving the other half? Given that for many amazonians their stock is more than half their compensation, selling some stock isn’t really overspending.
> For years, a California man systematically harassed and terrorized young girls using chat apps, email, and Facebook.

I am happy Facebook did this. They made the world a better place.
Yes but the rocket between them is identical, which is historically the most dangerous part of space travel.
I especially like radio for video games. Certain games really lend themselves to it. Like Euro Truck Simulator. Driving a lorry around Sweden, making deliveries while listening to local radio, makes for quite an immersive experience.
I have never admitted to a hospital in the US but have heard stories of other folks who have been. I just get a feeling that once you are admitted in a hospital nobody has any power including yourself. Everything is taken over by the "system". This is my biggest fear why I would never want to be hospitalized.

I don't get it.

The git server you use supports artifacts already. You could also just put all of your artifacts on an S3 bucket if you needed somewhere to put them, which is exactly what this is but more expensive. I don't understand when this would save you money or simplify devops.

Hmm. I think I have a similar story. I was a competitive ballroom dancer, and at one point, a fellow dancer was trying to teach me to have better frame. (Frame is some mix of good posture, being rigid but not stiff; the follower in a ballroom dance uses it to know where to go, and to know what the leader of the dance wants to do. Of course.) I don't think I really got it until at some point he led me (to demonstrate his frame, and how it should feel) and that was what really made it click for me. In an instant I was a better dancer, but I don't think words alone would have gotten us there. Imitating him made me better. (And he had to show me how to lead by making me follow him, and I definitely still have no real idea how to follow, so it was doubly impressive that he got the point across.)

And frame in general is one of those things that when instructors teach, is taught not only through verbal description, but through actual interaction with a person body. (E.g., we pair dancers off, and have them "move" each other using their frame.) And I don't think it could be adequately conveyed with only words, or, it's definitely much easier to demonstrate by physical contact. (And it's one of those things that instructors will critique from the very beginning until … well, if there is a point where one's frame is perfect, I've not hit it.)

The article also reminds me of when I was a TA for Computer Science. Some students need help, in the sense that they need some concept explained better, or they don't know what function or type to apply or don't know a particular data structure. But some students need help, in that they seem to lack something extremely fundamental; the closest I've come to it is that they lack the ability to establish a mental model of a program and how a computer might execute it that is coherent and consistent. (That is, they'll have some rules, but they're more like patches and bits of understanding and are sometimes even self-contradictory, because they the student are closer to grasping at straws than having some idea of what is actually going on.) Getting the student past that hurdle is something I struggled with as a TA. (I myself either picked it up so long ago I take it for granted, or it came naturally. But neither does any good when trying to teach it.) I feel like at some point I read a research paper that seemed to establish that this divide between CS students was the lack of a good coherent mental model, but I've since lost any reference to it.
76% is "75% or more". So it's covered.
Condemning all black police officers As racists for nothing more than working for Ferguson Police department (An insert any other jurisdiction which disproportionately stops blacks) is the most white privileged thing I’ve ever heard...until your second sentence where you attempt to strip people of their race based on their occupation?

It is funny that Alex Stamos works there.

After all his morale handwringing about working for Facebook, he is now working for Zoom, a Chinese Communist Party spy operation. Not only does he work for them, his job is to shill them so that people trust them.

He should feel ashamed of himself and really makes his whole situation with Facebook seem quite silly. He is now actually working for the 'bad guys'
There is nothing good that doesn't have an optimal size. Growth mandates eventually kill everything good.

Or at least necessitate it changing into something totally different from what made it good in the first place. The best you can hope for is that the new thing is also incidentally good.

The company has been caught lying at least 3 times.

3. Lying about using end to end encryption

4. Lying about separating Chinese users from the rest of the network

I'm not the only one who was waiting for the cover up lie for this incidence.

"if they make an excuse AFTER THIS STORY BLOWS UP, I think it's reasonable to consider their justification "retconned" and not actually the real reason they closed the account (which can be reasonably inferred to be CCP-aligned censorship)."

It's also not the first time an American company would lockup a non-chinese user's account for saying/doing something china doesn't like.

A famous example is Blizzard's banning of a Hong Kong protester's account, seizing his earnings and backtracked after the story went viral.

Well, gee, I don't know, maybe having someone ask why it always takes being in the news before Reddit's management decide that it's a bad idea to host underage porn or literal Nazis, rather than, you know, treating it as a bad idea.

You had me at 100% agreement until you said “mussel” :). But you hit the nail on the head when you said “runaway train”, and no one is in control. These problems definitely exist in other western counties, but there is something about US society that seems to amplify the process massively, where European counties for example seem to apply a dampening effect on the worst extremes.
> There's no concerted effort by police nationwide to spy on black reporters and activists.

But there was, wasn't there? And one could argue that what Snowden revealed about the NSA hints that there still is.

> In his new book, James Comey describes his deep admiration for Martin Luther King Jr. and decries the FBI’s treatment of him as “a dark chapter in the Bureau’s history.” Shortly after he became FBI director in 2013, Comey instructed the entire workforce of the FBI to read King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” one of Comey’s favorite writings. He created a curriculum for new agents to “remember how well-meaning folks lost their way,” and introduced an exercise for the new recruits to visit the King memorial, pick one of the quotes inscribed on the marble wall, and write an essay “about the intersections of that quotation and the FBI’s values.” On his desk at the bureau, Comey kept a copy of the letter authorizing the wall-to-wall surveillance of King as a reminder of this “shameful” history.[1]

I can answer that: a lot. AVX can speed up things anywhere from modest 20% (if not very well implemented) to massive 15 or 30x when carefully used (usually things that very good fits for AVX/AVX2 instructions/use cases).

Anecdotically, I have a "netbook" that has a Goldmont+ Celeron N4000 that works very respectable for everyday business (web browsing, office suites, watching videos, etc) but crawls when trying to run scientific code. 100x slowdowns at worst, 10x slowdowns on the parts that take "nice and easy" (wrt a 7200u notebook that I usually carry around).
I want to stop using zoom. But the experience is far higher quality than anything else I've used. Maybe part of that is the strong suggestion and herding towards using the desktop app and not the browser.
I got the same message. Wonder if O'Relly pulling their content due to loss of revenue. I looked up and the individual offering/pricing is 49 a month or 499 yearly.
They're getting stock in a post-acquisition combined entity. So a better way to think of it is they get 52% of the combination of both companies (which makes it weird to think they're the ones getting acquired - but that has to do with which entity ends up being the controlling entity).

Thanks for the recommendations! Adding to my toread.
Market socialism sounds like what China does rather than preventing amassed wealth, but sure any system that accomplishes the goal of not letting individuals unreasonably impose their will on anyone else sounds good. Votes are powerful, but uber rich people can undermine voting.
It occurred to me that the original sources might be a lot clearer:

From Wikipedia's ref #1 (Langford and Clance, 1993)

"Studies of college students (Harvey, 1981; Bussotti, 1990; Langford, 1990), college professors (Topping, 1983), and successful professionals (Dingman, 1987) have all failed, however, to reveal any sex differences in impostor feelings, suggesting that males in these populations are just as likely as females to have low expectations of success and to make attributions to non-ability related factors."

And Ref #9 (Kumar and Jagacinski, 2006)

"Women expressed greater imposter fears than men and were also higher on ability-avoid goals."

The writing in the Wikipedia article is not great though, so it could have gone either way...

No, it's not time.

Before coronavirus, we had a roaring economy, record low unemployment, rising wages, and a soaring stock market.

I think we can return to that state, let's not radically change things. Coronavirus was a 'black swan'.
As disposible as Internet things are, it's nice that we are seeing what "could happen" when disagreements occur (its less valuable now).

Even if Walmart or Amazon disappeared, there would be another company there to fill the void (and very few would miss them), so with online opinion boards being a sithoshi a dozen, seddit4u is not the same thing as reddit.
What America can learn from Nordic police
Information is different. If the government uses firearms or jails against you, you know it. You can make use of the courts and object.

If they surveil you without your knowledge, you don't know. They're just one step ahead of you. They can gaslight you. Know where you're about to be and leave something there for you to trip over.

Or they can just evaluate whether you're too much of an inconvenience and then arrest you -- Three Felonies a Day and all that, easy to find when you're spying, and then parallel construction and you're out of the way.
Bit of a different gadget, but until very recently I used to have my great-grandfather's Lee Enfield Mk III (original model with the magazine cutoff) and Pattern 1907 bayonet from the Great War. Unfortunately I moved countries and it wasn't feasible to take the rifle with me, so I ended up handing it to the police for destruction, still have the bayonet though.

It was decades since it had been shot in anger (at either humans or animals), but I took it out once or twice for a shoot. I also had my grandfather's Winchester model 62 pump action .22 from the 30's and a Chinese SKS from the early 60's. All very robust firearms, although the SKS has a very finicky firing pin that needs to be kept clean.

My dad still has his first computer, a ZX-81.

That may be true, but I meant powerless to meaningfully improve someone's medical outcome due to COVID, regardless of bureaucratic barriers.
I should also mention, that under capitalism nobody is ever entitled to another person's platform. I can't just interrupt a Taylor Swift concert and start talking about whatever issue I want just because she has an audience willing to listen. Why then should I be able to say whatever I want on Twitter when they are the ones paying to host my content?
