I'm so sick and tired of people who have no idea what freedom of speech means.

Nowhere did I say that the government should do anything to this pile of fascist idiots over at Parler. I'm just saying that a social network predicated on the idea of "we will never moderate our platform" will be an actual legitimate trash fire of a place to spend time.

Moderation is not censorship. If you're being moderated at a particular community, it means that the community thinks you're offensive and don't want to hear from you anymore.
I'm curious if you really think that it is ok to set fire to a police car? If so, what's the logic? Because my understanding of the first amendment (i.e. the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances) does not protect you if you commit crimes.
It is, in fact, not useful for communication, because it does not honestly communicate anything. It exists only to undermine people who try to call you out on making bigoted remarks. It was coined by ESR, and is popular mainly with people with a strong affinity for bigotry, like him, and also libertarians.
Pandemic and police use of chemical weaponry makes googles and gloves a pretty standard precaution for attending a protest these days.
The alternative is to not discriminate based on national origin? Which is a protected class by the way. Nationality is also very different from national origin. Eric is an American citizen as far as I aware. You can point to the requirement to be bore in the US to run for presidency, but 1) that’s an edge case and 2) where is the line? Is it ok to discriminate again foreign born Americans but not against native born? What about native born Americans with relatives in China / Russian / North Korea.

I mean overall you really don’t find it an issue to blankedly judge an entire class of people based on what some people within that population does or could do?
Sure, maybe some more explanation would help. Let's consider what the phrase "once-avant-garde cadre" is supposed to mean in this context. What is the valuable part about this "cadre" -- is it that they were avant-garde and this is no longer the case? Or is it the functional minimalism that they pioneered?

To phrase it a different way, is a good Apple laptop from the golden era of Apple laptops (which is good because it is minimal and functional) any less good once many people start using it and it stops being avant-garde? Or is its popularity simply a vindication of its successful product design, reflected by the market? If it's the latter, then I'd be inclined to agree with that definition of good. But if it's the former, I'd be inclined to question whether the definition a slick attempt to hide someone's opinions, and maybe their desire to gatekeep.
Right, and a guided fuzzer would be effective at finding distinct classes of bad packets, where "bad" is defined as triggering your error function. Those complex packets that AFL was able to create from thin air were bad in the sense that they triggered bugs in our system, not bad in the sense of being malformed. The latter is interesting only insofar as those malformed packets trigger a bug.

Btw, and maybe I'm misunderstanding what you wrote, if you were generating random packets without fixing up the checksum, you were already wasting basically all of your testing capacity. All that it ends up doing is checking that the negative case of checksum verification works.
I've done this by manually grabbing and anonymizing specific records and then creating unit tests. But never using a random sample of prod data.

Definitely using this idea. Thanks
Okay let me rephrase. The type checker doesn't make sure you've checked the value of ok e.g. you can do this: https://play.golang.org/p/x18Rh2iwd2E

Go constantly requires boiler-plate checks for errors, null values etc. without the type checker helping ensure you've checked for an error or null value.
I liked being able to compile tightest code to fit the appropriate memory model. Tiny was a favourite with all segment registers pointing to the same segment. Another favourite was the huge memory model, multiple code, data and stack segments. Until the day came when one couldn't fit anymore in. I was glad when the mighty 386 came along.

Does anyone use YubiKeys on OSX for business use? I've tried integrating them on my personal mac before, but the U2F PAM experience was pretty clunky, and caused weird messages from services like Keychain that (I guess) couldn't decrypt without normal credentials being provided at logon.

Should the government be in the business of regulating social media to death because it is a scourge on humanity?

I am generally in favor of big government, but this seems too big even for me. (And if I were to be in favor of it, I would rather the government straightforwardly legislate what we don't like about social media or even ban it instead of burying it under crushing legal liability - which runs the risk that some even-more-scourgey platform will avoid the liability. For instance, the most vapid parts of Instagram would survive because there are no opinions or ideas there, just photos.)

Yeah. It’s weird how I haven’t heard the word Stingray at all lately.
The US isn't most countries, there are 300+ million guns and the cops have to do 10 million arrests a year. They have to be armed for their own safety.
My job involves a lot of editing the writing of technical experts, for whom I'm a sort of communications gatekeeper so my small organization is coordinating properly with our parent organization. Even in the role of proofreading others' writing, I won't try to go from initial draft to finished product in one pass, because I know that the initial errors will wear me down too much to catch the ones later in the document, or to catch the more holistic problems with what's written. Point being, the act of taking initial ideas from your stream of consciousness to the most complete and accurate portrayal you can offer is extremely iterative, and no one should feel bad about dumping a whole bunch of half baked concepts onto a page when they're starting a project.
If you read about the history of anti-trust, the way we define it now is NOT how it was defined in the past. There is no reason that we (the people) could not recognize that a duopoly or an oligopoly is just as harmful as a monopoly - and bust them all.
> other than if they're taxed wildly out of proportion

Amusingly this seems to have happened to a limited extent with weed in Washington state. There's still a bit of availability on the black market, but not nearly as much as before. (Of course tobacco is also available on the black market the world over so I suppose it isn't unexpected.)
“Spending” the work on hobbies is a masterful insight. Thank you for that.

I've thought about reaching out to my landlords and ask if they would "consider aligning with the current market".

I haven't done it because they've been good landlord, but at the same time I'm paying an insane rent (I live in SF) for a pretty average 1 bedroom...

But what if rent continues to decrease, can't ask twice.
I suspect ego and greed are responsible for catching a lot of people who have committed a crime. They just can’t seem to resist bragging about it and if they can resist bragging about it they can’t resist trying to get away with it again.
Yep, manually calling the CDN is the simplest way, but I remembered that sometimes a lot of adjustments needed to be made to the forms and every form would need to be manually coded, or use one of the Django app to automate that.

I am not an expert in the gaming field, but you can check Godot engine for 2D games, people say it is a really amazing tool. Of course you can choose Unity, but many people now prefer Godot for 2D games.

That was a rational premeditative act. It wasn't "caught up" in the moment.
> Well to honest your post was the textbook definition of victim blaming. It was hardly a "premise." With absolutely zero evidence you flat out accused them of wrong behavior (dressing wrong, acting wrong) instead of considering their situation on the facts they presented. That is victim blaming.

I didn't accuse, I simply asked a question. How are you so sure that it must be racism? Why are you trying to shame me for suggesting there might be another explanation?

> But now you try turn the tables around. Your feelings are so important. Painting yourself as the victim is the all-too-predictable next step in that logical chain. Congratulations on making this all about you.

When did I ever say anything about my feelings whatsoever? Can you at least quote me when you attribute motives?

> Instead of being pissed off and trying to fire another salvo to get other people pissed off and concerned about you, you should try to listen to people instead. You came out of the gate with the over the top with "your lived experience is invalid, here is my completely context-free flat denial that anything is wrong, I don't want to hear what you are saying". This whole chain originated out of your lack of empathy, and here now we completely forgot about the people who are actually victimized.

Empathy is not the same as agreeing with him as to what caused his situation. You are adding a lot of emotional context in what I say, which isn't present.

I'm just trying to get people to stop jumping to conclusions everytime that everyone is racist. Undoubtedly some people are, but you're immediately jumping to the conclusion that everyone is without evidence.
> All browsers on my machine still share the same ipv6, whereas I think they should get unique ipv6 addresses if they want them.

Yup, sorry, I overlooked that part of your comment.

That said, I'm still not convinced it buys you much... maybe a bit of an improvement, but...

> Fingerprinting is more tractable to defeat by disabling all JS, for example.

Sorry, that's just completely unreasonable. JS is basically table stakes at this point for virtually any website to reasonably function.

Worse, it feels like an arms race between browsers and the ad tech giants when it comes to try and defeat fingerprinting.

Now, imagine you could break the 1:1 connection between browser engine and user. For example, imagine a bank of cloud hosted browser engines out in the cloud. You have a thin "client" that uses this headless cloud browser using a remote display technique of some kind (just batch up, serialize, transport, and render DOM updates, while passing back user interaction events?). Between sessions the state is wiped, and they're randomly shared among clients of the system...

I'm sure there's a zillion legal and technical hurdles, but unless you break the 1:1 relationship between browser and user, fingerprinting feels inevitable.

> Also, you seem to be saying that because NAT doesn’t provide much privacy

No, I'm just saying IPv6 provides no less. And either way, while it's not nothing it ain't that much.
> It is up to the website owner to remove offending content, not the ISP to block access to it. This makes practical sense. We wanted ISPs to stay in businesss.

Yeah, it's interesting. That's how everyone thought about it back in the day. Section 230 was about ISPs, not phpBBs.

I remember actually worrying about this when setting up my own forums. Even talked to a lawyer and included CYA language in the EULA. I would also use this as a justification for bans ("I'm possibly on the hook for his bullshit, which might be called harassment by some local pd, because the law is new and who the hell knows what will happen").

Thanks for the reminder. That's really interesting, and it's also really interesting that I didn't even remember this.
Actually there aren't any alignment issues with the 8086, as it's still a 8 bit processor at heart.
Yeah, I’ve always picked my GPU to work well on Linux, so I have an AMD one.
On both RH and TastyWorks all I had to do is check a box saying I knew how to do it. I'm curious about other people's experiences.
I think this gets at the licensing issues and the "non-commercial" sentiment of that type of usage, whether it's explicitly CC-NC or otherwise.

Notice the "Buy me a coffee" link. Is this considered "for profit" now? This person is asking for donations and is effectively monetizing the videos, at least is a very weak sense.

And thanks for that 'overlays' link. It's clear these types of sites only exist at the discretion of YouTube. That's unfortunate and all the more reason to try to enrich the commons with more CC0/CC-BY/CC-BY-SA work.
Is it for English sites only? Do you think it make sense for a ring to be multilingual?
Been developing software for 30+ years, with up to 2 extra monitors, and I always go back to a single display. I'll put myself up against anybody with multiple displays. The thing is, I just alt-tab (or otherwise) to different things - it's not like I can actually perceive more than 1 window at a time, for the most part. The head twisting to see multiple displays bugs me, as does the eye movements across a huge display. Plus there is just more opportunities for distractions with more display area.

Finally, I work most effectively when I hold what I need in my head, and find that multiple displays fights against that need.

The only real exception to that is if I'm writing front end code of some sort, having the live updates helps a ton.

Lastly, if I could have a bigger display on my laptop, I'd be up for that!
> But otherwise I agree, skip jail, just hit her with a treasury offset for the cost of the car along with a suitable extra for penalty.

Then if someone can't pay it back, you either have to 1) not penalize them, making poverty equal immunity, or 2) jail them, making it jail for the poor and a fine for the rich. Neither seems fair.
Are Autism and Schizophrenia the Steep Price of the Human Brain?
Such a confusing message this article and the UK Health Ministry send. The article's title is currently "Coronavirus: Health minister says app should roll out by winter" for me, but here are a number of contradictory quotes from the article:

> A government minister has said the NHS coronavirus contact-tracing app is "not a priority" and he was not sure it would be out by winter.

> The app, which has been trialled on the Isle of Wight, was initially expected to launch nationally weeks ago.

> Mr Gould and Mr Lewis had always expected to move back to their other duties this month, however they had intended for the app to have had its national rollout by now.

> "We are seeking to get something going for the winter, but it isn't the priority for us at the moment," Lord Bethell said in answer to a question about the app.
If you mean respect for privacy in general by companies, I think this comes down to people needing to first want it more. Like a lot more. We only started seeing things such as GDPR and CCPA after Cambridge Analytica caused people to understand a bit more why privacy matters. But it wasn't enough to see drastic change since there isn't a clear problem and that's the crux of the issue: nobody really understands why it's a such a big deal. There isn't an easy to grasp response to "what is so bad if others know what I'm doing online." Start with justifications and education of why privacy matters, and if it's compelling, change will be demanded.
Now realize that the young mouse would have to be a clone of the old mouse, to prevent rejection.
If you want a bit more control over your monitor resolutions on macOS, I recommend RDM[0].

It lets you change a few settings around DPI and refresh rate, that arent otherwise available via the regular UI.

Not all desired modes will work, it's still fundamentally limited by macOS's crappy display support, but its better than nothing.

To be fair, that could easily be implemented in a personal manner with manual tagging. There's no need for giant centralized databases or violations of privacy to achieve your usecase.

It's funny because my first thought was "a mile is around a 20 minute walk; that sounds really nice!" But if you have young kids, a 20 minute walk just to get somewhere can be torture.

But even the use of the word "master" as it relates to the primary copy seems to be related to a master, as in one who guides or rules others. So that seems to still be related to the master/servant relationship. I'm not an etymologist, so someone could point an error here.

The point isn't that every person from Linus on has been engaged in a giant conspiracy to spread hate via git repos (Side note: would there be a secret code you can interpret by arranging hashes in a particular order?). The point is really that our language and culture contain countless reminders of the belief that not all people should be treated with equal value, to the point that we've been using them without regard to or even understanding of their impact.
Mine too. Everyone’s monitors do. I’m not going to spend two grand just because of that reason
For better or worse, those practices are already normalized. Average analyst at most FIs has good Google-fu skills and would likely be able to connect the dots as described in the article. I think you are right about HN bias in this area. Heavens know I don't like it the same way I don't like cop porn. That said, it is hard to argue with your point.
She crossed state lines?
In the US (not sure about your location or the laws in other countries), the part of an AR-15 that qualifies as the "firearm" in the eyes of the law is the lower receiver. It's a machined block of metal and does not do anything on its own.

When transporting a firearm through air travel, it's supposed to be locked such that only the owner can open it. So you can claim you're carrying a firearm with nothing but a small-ish piece of metal in your luggage.

For illustration: https://i.imgur.com/ARZgZV6.png. The non-transparent part is the lower receiver.

As an aside, the "AR" in AR-15 stands for Armalite Rifle (after the company that originally designed it); not "assault rifle".
Yeah I think its pretty cool, its not like its someone's life.

Whats up with these "why don't you just follow the law" comments? The 'law' is currently designed to let cops kill without consequence so why on earth are you asking me to show any respect to it?

All rifles combined -- including "assault rifles" -- are involved in fewer murders than knives. Also involved in fewer murders than hands/fists. This is true even in states where laws for obtaining them are very lax:

It turns out that it wasn't actually necessary for a COM file to have the segment registers all the same. The Zortech COM file generation only required that the COM file be less than 64K. The startup code would fix things up so it would load and run.
No it's not being misinterpreted, the parent comment is right - the website author has a negative biased agenda against Starlink and Elon Musk, as evidenced from the website's own About page:

* No evidence a working starlink network can offer lower latency, or lower prices, than terrestial

* Impact on earth based telescopes has not been discussed

* Starlink is a play for pentagon funding to keep SpaceX launch schedule busy?

Just stick to big brands. Even entry-level models support 4:4:4 UHD @60Hz.

The main issue with TVs is that HDMI sucks compared to DP. You'll need a half-decent GPU from 2015 or later for good HDMI 2.x support.
> I think the point the parent is making is that human vision has limited resolution.

If you can't see the difference between 4k and 1080p on a 24" monitor, then you probably need reading glasses. On a 27" monitor it's even worse. It's not so much that you can "see" the pixels, sub pixel rendering and anti-aliasing go a long way to making the actual blocky pixels go away, the difference is crisp letters versus blurry ones.
Thanks for curating all of these proposals!

- splitting up: seems like a temporary fix at best (see ma bell).

- data exports: exporting is nice, but... then what? the network is still a network.

- weakening CFAA/DMCA and allowing scraping/interop: It'd be a terrible hacky world, but I could imagine it working. Probably would end up looking like a weird inverted version of the Wuph! bit from The Office. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WUPHF.com So not a good solution but maybe actually a solution. Plus we should do this anyways.

- standardized API: I like this combined with the sibling proposal of allowing people to build their own filters. I think that's my new position unless someone can convince me otherwise :)
I used to feel this way. I found it depends on the work.

A lot of my old work didnt depend heavily on looking at a terminal output constantly.

These days, i have to have about 3-4 things running. The extra screen just becomes a log window.

You can argue the software should be redesigned, i do too, but the problem for me remains and a second screen while not solving it, alleviates it a lot.

It might have something to do with using a twm, might not.

All i know is that i dont miss the days of tab cycling and desktop flipping.
Fluoxetine is better known by it's brand name, Prozac.

Anyway, though it's an interesting find, this isn't a trial in humans and, to forestall any jokes about it making people happy, the levels used (800 ng/mL) are far higher than what a quick Google says the common optimal blood serum levels are (100-300 ng/mL). It's a reasonable guess that it's not unsafe but would have higher likelihood of triggering known side effects that would be, shall we say, unpleasant.
I got it on amazon. It has good reviews. I’m convinced it’s more than enough for coding.
