Through its reach and impact, the prison-industrial complex helps and maintains the authority of people who get their power through problematic means.

There are many ways this power is collected and maintained through the prison-industrial complex, including creating mass media images that keep alive stereotypes of people of color, poor people, queer people, immigrants, youth, and other oppressed communities as criminal, delinquent, or deviant.

This power is also maintained by earning profits for private companies that deal with prisons and police forces; helping earn political gains for “tough on crime” politicians; increasing the influence of prison guard and police unions; and eliminating social and political dissent by oppressed communities that make demands for self-determination in the US.
Reddit is horrible, and I say this as someone with combined ~27k comment karma on two accounts, and years of use. The mods are too happy to delete posts they don't personally approve of (whether they break sub or Reddit rules or not), and I recently got suspended on what appears to me to be a false charge according to the rule itself (a debate on whether some fanfiction should be illegal or not (it shouldn't be) got me suspended - a topic, it is worth noting, is covered by several serious academics). Bitter rant incoming.

The annoying part is that not only does a sub mod get the privilege of deleting posts at will, but there is no appeals process for that, and Reddit doesn't listen to suspension appeals at all.

Aside from that, the downvote/upvote culture is bad (even if I am usually in its favour) and encourages dogpiling and groupthink. Ironically, Reddit with its "don't downvote for disagreement" element of Reddiquette is worse at this than HN with its "downvoting for disagreement is fine" policy.

The site redesign, infinite scroll, a handful of mods controlling many major subs, nonsensical or inconsistent administration and rules, unjust dishing out of punishment, advertisements in the main feed, widespread outrage bait, and endless drama means Reddit is no different to platforms like Twitter where short, witty and possibly fallacious content thrives.

I can count on a hand the number of times I've actually valued information I've obtained from Reddit comments or submissions. That does not justify the amount of time and energy I've poured into the website, which I could have better spent simply not using social media (which Reddit now is). These days, if I had to use social media, I'd pick the Fediverse over Reddit every day of the week. It takes a lot of time to realize that highly upvoted comments (and every comment) is really just "someone's opinion, man" which the current zeitgeist dictates people will agree with.

On Reddit, politics is entertainment (r/PublicFreakout etc.), mocking and hate is central (r/SubredditDrama, r/unpopularopinion), administration is done in the interest of advertisers and personal opinions (phrases such as "weird hill to die on"), and moderation attracts people who would rather bask in the power afforded to them more than people who would rather carefully curate and foster discussion. The one sub which works to its purpose is r/ChangeMyView.

Spending time arguing with random people on the Internet is mentally taxing, very unlikely to achieve a change in opinion of the persons involved or the observers, and terrible for stimulating and interesting discussion. Next time I want to argue a point, I'll get a blog with a comment section, or these days, without one. If my friend told me they were going to register a Reddit account, I'd tell them everything I've just said in this post.
Interesting, to me not accepting would be even worse : you actively avoid the information. In any case an attempt was done.

We have both kind of letters in France (with sig and without). I just checked (https://blog.bureaudeposte.net/quelle-difference-entre-un-en...) and they have the same value.

You are focusing on only one aspect of why the statues exist.

There is another reason, insidious and evil, and people wish those statues to go not because of your reason, but because of this other evil one.

Is a statue of a losing racist general erected long after the war was over as a counter against the fight for civil rights really a good way to honour soldiers?

If your statue doesn’t unequivocally reflect only one good message to all people, you’ve got a problem.
160MHz channels are a rarity even today, neither the latest Samsung S10 nor the latest iPhone support 160MHz.

Much more common is 80MHz channel, and even then, there is a distinction between the "main" 40MHz and the "secondary" 40MHz sub-channel. If you monitor the packets over the air, you'll notice that the secondary channel is much less occupied - all mobile devices switch to 40MHz to save considerable power, unless downloading a big file.

In the US, there are 6 available 80MHz channels, which is more than needed (think 4-color graph coloring).

A lot of it also has to do with a broken court system.

So, question for those who are following the JS ecosystem trends more closely: Is innerHTML now officially "ok to use" again?

I remember way back (when XHTML was still on the table) that innerHTML was effectively deprecated: It was still around but you weren't supposed to use it for anything new because support might be dropped at any point in "the future". It was also non-standard. Instead, you were supposed to use the DOM APIs (createElement etc) for any kind of DOM modifications. (Not even talking about the risk of performance issues or XSS vulnerabilities if you used innerHTML naively)

Now "the future" has come around and innerHTML is still supported basically everywhere. It's clear that implementing innerHTML correctly adds substantial complexity to browsers (they have to parse and serialise arbitrary HTML fragments on the fly, synchronously, without stalling the event loop. The result also has to interact well with all the other DOM manipulation/inspection APIs. Not to mention if the HTML string contains its own bits of JS...) - however, there seems to be so much "legacy" content that dropping the API seems infeasible.

So, does anyone know what the official state of innerHTML is in terms of standard compliance and future support?
The answer to your question is in the comment you are replying to.

Interesting! Clearly something is wrong with my calculations. Given the effects of the inverse square law over 20ly, how is a antenna of any size able to collect a reasonable amount of photons from a 250kW source? Even a beam that is parallel for all terrestrial purposes will spread out quite a bit over such a huge distance.

Would be really grateful if you could link me to some learning resources!
Not at all.

Once you write significant software, it's frequent that the NSA or police will offer you collaboration (eg. How CloudFlare started with Project Honeypot, or how Facebook got investment by the CIA, Crypto AG that got investment, etc).

The intelligence services don't have to coerce you through a gag order; they can just make a generous offer.

One of the LibreSSL author(s) maybe has financial problems. In this case, what is better for him ? Accept a juicy 5M USD consulting contract, be a nice boy, solve all the problems and beyond, or be the guy that will discover what it means to be sued to oblivion on frivolous charge (NSA will never charge you but they can share information).

If the US companies respect orders of the NSA, it's because they don't want to end up sacrified.

If the DoJ for example needs help from Facebook to capture documents from Airbus to give them to Boeing, you think Zuck will give away all his shares, stock, money, family, or just collaborate ?

The CEOs will fight the decision until they can (because of the PR risk), but at some point if the pressure is strong enough they won't be able to refuse (and I respect their choice to protect their families and by extension, protecting the families of their employees by protecting their job).

If someone knows your weaknesses he has unlimited power.

People in favor of abortive medical alleviation of their TAB-A into SLOT-B problem, are really stating that they want no personal responsibility for their actions.

I agree that you can stop reading, but not with your rationale.

>It's not that hard to find out if there was a mutation in the virus, you sequence it and compare it.

There are lots of problems with this assumption. Sequencing is pretty quick, it's not instantaneous or free. More to the point, sequencing a single virus from a single individual who survived doesn't necessarily tell you anything about that virus. You would need to sequence many viruses from many patients, and compare patient outcomes (while controlling for other factors) with sequence data. That is neither quick nor easy.

Viruses can mutate quickly. From what I've read, SARS CoV2 doesn't appear to have a high mutation rate compared to other viruses more in the zeitgeist, but it's definitely much higher than, say, the typical mammal. That not only means that sequencing is harder, but it also means there will be multiple strains to compare. There isn't one virus: there are currently thousands (https://nextstrain.org/ncov/global) of genomes publicly available, so there's a lot to look at.

Finally, the point the individual being quoted was making is that, after all that work, the best you're likely to come up with is "there are a handful of sequence changes that correlate to better outcomes." You haven't proved it ("demonstrated scientifically").

The reason you can stop reading here is that this is one person speculating, seemingly based off of anecdotal data. They have some authority and it's implied they are looking at a lot of data, but there are no hard stats or facts.
Honestly, no-one knows but Mapillary and FB. Given that FB is starting to enter into the maps arena with Google, Apple, etc I wouldn't want to know the sort of stuff that FB could do with it.

It's too easy to think about the ugly side of this 'incredible journey' than it is to think about any good that will come out of this due to FB being 'FB'.

I have offered to loan my copy of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff to friends and family, and no one has taken me up on it. The most I have been able to do is to get a few of them to use Firefox containers.

I consider this a major problem that needs to be fixed, like the division in US society between left and right, income inequality, and corporate control of both political parties.

Shoshana Zuboff does a brilliant job of documenting the bad effects of collecting all digital information in our lives and the use of that data in ways that are against our interests.

I use Google and Facebook, but only to buy things from them, like Oculus Quest, Play books, music, and movies.

I don’t mind paying for services, and I don’t mind them using data on what I have directly purchased from them. I will fight all other forms of data collection.

That is indeed how things are traditionally done. I (along with Wheeler) am suggesting that division does not necessarily have to exist, and the control charts themselves can serve as useful feedback mechanisms. In many cases they may even be more effective than a PID controller, with zero tuning required.

As Wheeler notes in his article, PID controllers are based on the assumption that calibration/adjustments are free. As any practitioner of SPC knows, adjustments are never actually free in the face of natural variation in the process.
I think a lot of it comes down to how you feel about cars/driving. driving in a dense city is an awful experience, but you can probably walk or take public transit to most of the places you need to be in a given week. driving in a rural area can be lovely, and you're gonna have to do it to get anywhere. driving in a suburb is not as bad as driving in the city, but imo it's still a pretty unenjoyable experience, and you need to do it to get most places. I personally love driving, but I'd rather not drive at all than have a bad driving experience.

I live in a city and (in normal times) work in a suburb ~20 miles away. my commute is pretty painless; it's just a straight shot down the interstate in the opposite direction of most other people. but once I get there, it's amazing how unpleasant it is to drive around in a place that was built from the ground up to accommodate cars. even the shortest trips involve driving to a highway, traveling on it for one or two exits, then getting off and driving to your destination. I have no idea how people get around on bikes there. there are several shopping centers that are only connected by a limited access highway. I often joke that in that suburb, no trip takes more than fifteen minutes by car, but none are shorter either.
this is absolutely tragic through and through. thousands of children grow up for in neglected, disgustingly unhygienic homes only more many of them to never fully "recover" (in whatever sense of the word one chooses)

Mapillary is basically the Google Street View part of OSM. There are a couple of other street view offerings though.

Given that Google Maps was mainly built directly from street view (and gps) this is important.

Additionally, recently, both fb and mapillary were using ML tech on images and maps to extract info for a kind of automated mapping.
I am failing to understand why someone would choose this over React. The page you linked to, I kid you not, has a section about how you build a Preact application from the command line...
I’ve never liked this argument. The Google ecosystem is more or less required these days unless you are a little more tech savvy than the average person, and your job/education doesn’t require it, AND you have the patience to stitch together a bunch of (maybe) trustworthy services.

It’s like saying, “if you don’t like your ISP, then find another one.” Then when they’re all doing the same crap going, “well then don’t use the Internet.”

It's already been demonstrated that the Covid-19 has mutated into becoming more easily transmissible. Perhaps there may be some scientific basis or physiological connection between being more transmissible and being less potent? Perhaps a stronger initial shock fires up the immune system to create a stronger herd immunity.
This seems to have happened before, but may not happen with Covid-19. It would be wishful thinking to rely on it for setting policy.

EDIT: This was making the rounds a week or so ago

Possibly, but I’ve only had people refuse to play Risk with me without suggesting any alternatives, so I have to assume it’s aversion to that kind of genre in general.

My biggest problem with risk is the huge element of chance.
Interesting. I believe much of CS is practical now, and much is forward-facing and not relevant yet.
it would take a lot of convincing for me to welcome Facebook into any project I'm part of. I've pointed out to one of their POs that they are violating OSMs copyright by not showing any attribution when browsing on mobile. I'm not confident it will ever be fixed. When they ask to be integrated into a project they're already abusing, the answer should be hard no. I'll reply to this comment if they start respecting OSMs copyright (unless comments get locked?). Just musing... but where do I file a DMCA?
My experience with capn proto was a mixed bag.

Quite apart from its neglect for years as Kenton was working on sandstorm.io, I found the low level access interfaces to extract best performance to be both fiddly and often rely on an intimate knowledge of the internals.

As is often the case, maximum performance for your use case requires more intimate detail.

I can't remember, but some of these zero copy protocols may still require byte order swapping on mixed endian systems. (But cache access times probably dwarf the byte swapping)

> Not everything we do/like/want comes from Hollywood, that's a stupid over simplification that some people use for their own peace of mind.

This is also an oversimplification. The problem is that the movie and ad industries strongly reinforce and popularize and some standards.

And export them to the whole world.

> How does the media suggest that women will automatically find men attractive? My experience says otherwise. You have to be fit, have success in life, have money, have a beautiful smile, which is NOT what incels are.

I agree and this is also part of the problem. Pushing some arbitrary standards onto men is also harmful.

Unsurprisingly, a lot of people feel they insecure about themselves and angry about society.

Sometimes this insecurity and anger fuels the sale of cosmetics, gym memberships, clothing and dubious "self-help" books. Sometimes it gets uglier.

> All these "requisites" for a woman to find you attractive can be explained also from a biological point of view.

Please hold on on the strong biological determinism. It's largely refuted by geneticists and anthropologist. Reality is way more complex.
