Isn't the "Single Responsible Individual" practice fairly common at Apple? That is, maybe one person "responsible" for some specific class, app, or system, in addition to day to day work? I've read about the maintainers of things like NSOperation or the iOS Simulator, which always shocked me, given the complexity of those systems. If that's the case, it's completely unsurprising to me that Apple may have a software quality issue.
This is a good point, for me the most intriguing aspect of this ban.

Not only is it a good idea from security perspective - as well as privacy as a selling point - by forbidding specific, popular foreign services, it opens up the market for domestic players to grow. This is what China has done, and now India is doing the same to them.

Overall, this seems like a win for the people in India.

How can I answer them directly, when I think they're based misunderstandings? For instance, I don't classify many of the things you seem to be talking about as "censorship" (e.g. banning /r/The_Donald from reddit) despite your persistent use of that term, nor have I offered up any "plans" of any kind, let alone "[my] censorship plan."

> 3. How do populations become and stay primed against open and earnest fascism/antisemitism/racism/etc....

Education coupled with regular refreshers/responses as needed. If you want to teach kids anti-Nazism, it's not like you have to first invite an open and earnest Nazi to school to lecture the kids in class about how the Jews are subhuman and corrupt everything, etc. The anti-Nazi lesson can be taught directly.
There are so many shenanigans buying new. 0% is dealer financing and you’d need the manufacturer to drop the price to get leverage from a dealer.

AFAIK “public company” is a misnomer shorthand for “publicly-traded company”, it has nothing to do with "public sector" or similar concepts. Publicly-traded companies are still private corporations.
That is not what the text says.

I have a vague sense that maybe some wrong turns were taken when there were special laws passed for online activities.

Sure, new technology can expose shortcomings in existing laws, but it's better to still try to have consistent regulations across the board.
Sigh. You seem to not know about what marxism's goal is, so allow me to help you out.

That sounds like a bridge too far even by Apple standards. I can get on board with "if you support Facebook, you have to support us as well", but not allowing any kind of escape hatch feels particularly scummy. At some point it's none of Apple's business how people sign up with my service.

Sadly current discourse does equate those two things. Being gender critical ("gender is fake and a tool of patriarchal oppression") is equated with erasing & attacking trans people - politically these two parties do seem to be at odds.
> paradox of tolerance

Unnecessary use of the 'paradox' label.

If a criminal shoots a cop, that is violence.

If a cop shoots the criminal back, is that the 'paradox of violence' ?

If a surgeon cuts open a patient with a knife, to treat a tumor, is that the 'paradox of violence' ?

Violence used to curb violence is peace. Peace used to ignore violence is violence.

There is nothing 'paradoxical' about not tolerating the intolerant. That is basic justice.
When a set small of companies control your ability to communicate freely on the internet and they act in consort it becomes an issue of free speech.

You don't run shared/network storage. You run PVCs on local storage and you run an HA setup. You ship log files every 10s/30s/1m to object storage. You test your backups regularly which k8s is great for.

All of this means that I don't worry about most things you mention. PG upgrade? Failover and upgrade the pod. Upgrade fails? wal-g clone from object storage and rejoin cluster. Scaling up? Adjust the resource claims. If resource claims necessitate node migration, see failover scenario. It's so resilient. And this is all with raid 10 nvme direct attached storage just as fast as any other setup.

You mention etcd but people don't run etcd the way you're describing postgres. You run a redundant cluster that can achieve quorum and tolerate losses. If you follow that paradigm, you end up with postgres on k8s.
That is a promised feature, but for existing published iOS apps it seems like it would rely on the Mac App Store in Big Sur providing iOS apps, and that switch may not have been flipped yet.
Read it again. "Create" does not mean purchase from someone else.

It means Congress needs to do it.

"Shall" has specific meaning too. "Shall" is not optional. It means "must" and or "will"

And that is the basis for my comment.
Someone mentioned him to me as a sort of anti-government philosopher. At some point he popped up again breaking down the treyvon martin incident and everything about it seemed pretty gross. Eventually he popped back up again (to me) and got popular with the rise of trump

As a 10+ yr adtech veteran, that's exactly what this is. It's free marketing to say they're not marketing.

It's happened before in various ways several times (with Facebook, Youtube, etc) and always dissipates eventually. Nobody wants the duopoly to turn into a Google monopoly. Meanwhile it's great for remaining advertisers who have less ad competition and Amazon's growing ad business.
It's neither totally free nor 100% positive.

While I'm pleased to see Facebook losing resources, I've taken notice of those dropping their ads. These companies should be making a product and staying out of politics. Knowingly in the minority, I still seek other options for money that was previously given to them.

Microsoft took a clever stance. The stopped ads, but for 'technical reasons'. They get the publicity and a way to wiggle out when called on it.
If we're going to have a marketplace of ideas, then some ideas will become popular and win, and some ideas will become unpopular and lose. This is how marketplaces are supposed to work.

If we want a forum for speech where every idea is always welcome, and platformed, and no one is allowed to lose no matter how unpopular they are, I don't know what you'd call that. I'd call it a form of hell, personally.

Philosophically, I believe the First Amendment is properly addressed at restraining the power of the government, rather than at propping up unpopular ideas.
Can you educate me on what you mean by Google accounts only? I thought Google auth was just OAuth.
It is free and open source, unlike GitHub
Only if Facebook doesn't have the fortitude required to call their bluff. At the end of the day, money talks, and if it turns out that their advertising actually drives clicks, they'll advertise there regardless of what they think of the content Facebook "allows".
lol and our landlord wanted to raise our rent prices in response to us asking to go month-to-month
FB being "cancelled" by the "wake mob" just make me think FB may be not that bad after all.
Quibi has all the hallmarks of _corporate_ groupthink. "You know what the kids like? They like phones and Joe Jonas, my daughter won't stop talking about him."

These things are made by executives and leaders that are so type-A they don't actually look at their phones because they're barking out orders to format a PowerPoint slide, and then instead of just asking their kid if they'd do something (sit down for ten minutes to watch Sophie Turner) they get a big panel of people (who sign up to do panel studies) and ask them.

When big media companies make apps, it's like when developers go to the edge of a town and build an urban hellscape edge city. When will media executives realize they can't Robert Moses their way into the FAANG?
GP meant from remote devices, like a phone, to somewhere the developer can see it, like a logging service. OSLog can't even log to a local file, making it fairly useless for in app logging even in testing, as there's no way to see your app's logs in the app, no?

I've heard anecdotally that the supply of used cars has dried up, but I have no first-hand knowledge.

Some shows do actually have a bit of agility as you put it.
In its simplest form, you have cahracters written in and out of shows based on popularity. There might also be story paths explored based on fan reponse.
This is not the norm of course.
But neither is doing a whole season blind-folded like netflix.
Things do get tweaked a bit.
But there’s a balance to this.
You can’t really do great storytelling based on viewer-stats. That’s like a ship steered by wild monkeys. Certainly an interesting voyage, but ultimately not a rewarding one. A captain is needed to steer the passangers on a guided path that will culminate in good experience or not for the majority.
Ime most pg deployments don’t need insanely high iops and become cpu bound much quicker. So running ebs or gcp pd ssd or even ceph pd is usually enough.
You didn't read a single thing I said. This has nothing to do with the first amendment. The first amendment does not grant you the right to a platform. It simply doesn't.

If you want to grab a megaphone and spew white-supremacist garbage from your drive way then feel free, the government cannot, and should not, stop you. However, if your neighbors refuse to interact with you, that's your own fault. The megaphone seller also has the right not to sell you the megaphone if they don't want you to spew said garbage using their megaphone. Not once in that scenario does free speech apply.
Do you honestly think that Apple would lose enough money by implementing Web MIDI for Safari on iOS that this would be even the most remote consideration? Like, the Safari team was in a meeting about Web MIDI and some manager said "but think of the impact on our stock options!" and they all went "oooooh" and scrapped it?

Or is it that Tim Cook was looking at Apple's balance sheet and decided that they couldn't afford to lose the 30% cut of all the MIDI-capable iOS/iPadOS apps that could be completely replaced by a web app?

The reality is that the real cost of this feature to them would be developer time; it would be a colossal waste of their limited WebKit/Safari developer resources to implement Web MIDI rather than something that would actually be used by more than a scant sliver of a percentage of Safari users.

The thing is are these companies platforms like a phone company or are they publishers? Social media companies have argued that they cant be held liable for things posted to their platforms in the past and have tried to position themselves at neutral platforms. When they start to become the arbitrators of what is and is not to be posted they are no longer neutral platforms like the phone company. I do not recall a time when a phone company would cut your service because they found it to be distasteful or controversial.

That said I don't really know what these users were actually banned for saying. It could have been pretty bad and although I might not agree with what they said I hope that people are free to express their thoughts and ideas even though I might find them personally offensive.
USA and India are friends unlike CCP which can't be trusted by anyone.
IMO you've given enough consent by using their app store. All they need is to store the device IDs to which they display ads and install apps so that they can attribute app installs to specific advertisements. You're logged into their app store, so you should expect Apple to already know the device ID when they display ads and install apps.
I work on developing better tools for solving computational geometry problems robustly and efficiently, so I got quite excited when this paper first appeared.

However, while the type theoretic developments based on Abstract Stone Duality is interesting, they mostly ignore the problem of efficiency by simply representing every real number as a Dedekind cut. Thus, it doesn't scale without significant advances in compiling real arithmetic. A problem I'm working on presently, but it might take a few years...

If the Klan would’ve been classified as a terrorist organization they would be illegal they haven’t.

The Nation of Islam is also classified as a hate group by the SPLC however they aren’t banned under the same laws that protect the KKK.

NOI members just like the KKK have been prosecuted in the past for many things, however outside of very limited circumstances there isn’t such thing as guilt by association in the US justice system.
There should be "Real Solidarity Party" which takes no position other than to be favor of ranked choice voting (or similar).

Without this, it makes absolutely no difference what the platform is of the Greens, the Libertarians, the Solidarity Party, or any other 3rd party: they can only work as spoilers in an election.

Get us to an electoral system in which the winning D or R candidate is faced with knowing that 40% of their vote came from people whose first choice was the Communo-Anarchist Party, and another 10% from people who preferred the "White Power Now" party, and you're going to see a totally different sort of politics.

For example, Reddit previously banned the "fat people hate" subreddit, where they sat around and made fun of fat people, while these subreddits, where all they do is sit around and make fun of people based on the color of their skin are allowed to prosper.

If anything, a subreddit dedicated to making fun of people based on the color of their skin is a lot more bannable than making fun of people based on their weight ..
> the exception that proves the rule.

Off-topic: I was presented with the argument that this sentence should be taken to mean "this is the exception that shows the rule [as in law] is needed" rather than "this is the exception that the rule [as in inference/deduction] is correct".

I have not looked into whether this interpretation is historically true, but it makes much more sense.
The bet here is that a lot of people will go on their first "small town 100 miles away" trip this year, and discover it was more fun than they were expecting. I'm still skeptical, but I'm a lot less skeptical than of the takes like "all workers will be remote forever".

Compared to many databases, postgres HA is a mess. It has builtin streaming, but no fail over of any kind, all of that has to be managed by another application.

We've had the best luck with patron, but even then you'll find the documentation confusing, have weird issues, etc. You'll need to setup etcd/Consul to use it. That's right you need a second database cluster to setup your database cluster.... Great...

I have no clue how such a community favorite database has no clear solution to basic HA.
If you aren't already, I strongly recommend using union types for query results with inline fragments in your queries themselves. This handles both your auth/unauth case as well as error handling. This pattern isn't discussed much in tutorials/docs, but has been absolutely essential for us.

A black person saying "all white people are bad" is a bad thing, but ultimately not a societal problem. The issue is the power dynamic. After years of institutional racism, institutions are racist (shocking!). That's the issue. There are far more white people in power and any one of them being racist has a much wider and more devastating effect on PoC.
McKenzie (original article's author) worked probably a decade outside a major center of tech R&D before taking a job at Stripe. A lot of his advice is written from that viewpoint. It's valuable because a lot of the world operates as he describes.

I think the big lesson is that life inside industry clusters (finance/media in NY, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, oil and gas in Houston) is quite different from life outside. In industry clusters, jobs are way more specialized, standards are higher, and "geek skills" pay off way more. A few jobs ago, we engaged a consultant for decent money to tune our postgres implementation. I can't imagine that job existing, or paying that well, outside of a major center of Internet software development like SF/SV. I'm sure there are analogs in oil and gas, or any other clustered industry.
Remember when Noam Chomsky argued for allowing Holocaust deniers to lecture at universities, so that students could make their own judgement and disproof absurd theories? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faurisson_affair Guess it was a different time.
That's one opinion. Another opinion is that they don't have to implement "standards" that other companies come up with just so they can further infiltrate the systems in place on their platform.

Email is controlled through gmail in the same way as webdesign is controlled by SEO directed towards google search. People need to access the users on the google platform, and google sets the terms for that.

That is, if you want your email to work you got to play by the rules dictated by google or a very large portion of all email will go away into a black hole.

You kind of can, though. Sure, group X hates group Y and wants the admins to ban them. Group Y hates group X and wants the admins to ban them. The smart play would have been to be neutral and set out an explicit set of rules everyone has to follow.

Reddit instead did it the worst possible way imaginable. They laid out no clear rules, banned thousands of subs for vague "hate" reasons that you can't define, much less verify, and drastically reduced the scale and appeal of their site.

If you think group X will now be happy and stop complaining now that group Y has been banned, I think that's naive. The admins will still be pressured, but the goalposts will just be moved to ever more extremes until Reddit's such a niche echo-chamber that it appeals to too few people to remain financially viable.
This is absolute nonsense, there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of videos on the subject. Watch a few of them (really not hard to do, just try keywords like Tienanmen or Uighur) and observe the results and your recommendations list later.

Incremental development in Rust isn't particularly slow; it's compiling all the dependencies which takes the most time, and when you make changes you only recompile your local crate, which typically is quite fast.
