I'm not sure I follow. What do Norway and Switzerland have to do with anything? Norway and Switzerland have never been a part of EU, so they have never left EU either. Their situation is in no way comparable to Great Britain, which was/is a member of the EU.

> freedom as meaningless

I'm not sure I understand this either. Is your argument that dismantling of EU leads to freedom? If so, in what way? What freedom do you not have now that EU has taken away from you?

> divided Europe

In what way does EU divide Europe? Claiming that EU does not support freedom of trade, movement and work is bizarre. Those are the principles at the core of the EU.

And of course a country has to, first and foremost, be a part of the EU to have access to EU rights, like free movement in the EU area and so on.

> Mafia practises

Care to give a concrete example of this? The continuous refusals by Great Britain to negotiate in a meaningful way (give some, get some) is not exactly "mafia practises" from the EU's side.

Furthermore, my experience is that many people don't seem to understand even the basics of what the EU is and what it does and has done and why it even exists. And they don't seem to want to find out either -- those people are content with suspect, often state-sponsored sources, feeding them easy but false narrative along with some meme pictures.

For example, according to polls, some Serbians believe that Russia and China have sent more aid to Serbia than EU. Ergo: EU bad, Russia/China good. But actually, the truth is that EU has sent by far the most amount of aid. China ranks in the 15th place and Russia even lower. EU had given 3.6 billion EUR in the past 18 years as pre-accession aid. But this is a fact which isn't given to you when you "Question More".

Also, earlier during the EU elections there was so much talk about "undemocratic process" and "undemocratic EU" with "behind the scenes scheming by Juncker" and whatever. I found it personally sad, since criticizing something without understanding even a small part of it is prejudice, nothing more. There was a lack of basic knowledge about how the EU institutions like the EU Parliament, EU Commission and EU Council relate to each other, and what was being voted, and how.
Authoritarian is a more descriptive term than anti-democratic.
So if we accept this as baseline reality then what do we do?
I believe it was the far-reaching section 215, which allowed bulk collection of phone records and other data.

Market makers routinely have to adjust their quotes as the price moves. If they set a price and then the market moves significantly, the price will soon be incorrect. If they leave the order on the book then they might get undesirable fills (losing money) or it might just sit there and never get executed because their price is worse than what the market is offering. In either case, it's useful for them to be able to adjust their quotes by cancelling previous quotes that are not up to date with the latest information.

Imagine if every time you go to the gas station and see the big price for a gallon you write it down. Should the gas station still have to offer you the lowest price over the past {day,week,month} if the price has gone up? "Cancelling" orders is this same idea of changing the offer, only at a much smaller time scale because markets trade extremely fast.
That sparked a funny idea in my head, what if we tricked product managers industry wide to follow KPIs and A/B tests that resulted in a better user experience for consumers, instead of experiences that coincidentally slightly upticked "engagement".

Because it seems like this mystery shopper is already doing that.

Racism is a perfectly fine term for weighting East Asian race less negatively than other non-white races in a function with multiple other factors besides race, resulting in certain East Asian immigrants being favored over white European immigrants.

Though, as explained already in GP, I think nationalism is the more relevant factor here, whether or not racism (binary or differential) is also involved (which at some level it obviously is.)

I presume it's a liability thing. It only takes one candidate to "spin" an otherwise valid reason into something they can sue for. Same reason why companies don't tell employees what they're being let go for in at-will states.
I definitely could be overthinking it and I said the part you quoted kind of out of spite as well.

But there are bad employers out there, be sure of it. Some of them definitely do employ that tactic. Might be unconsciously but they do.

They definitely lack the self-awareness to know what does it mean to hire a bad employee. They kind of just go through the motions.

One skill I never wanted to have but gradually developed pretty well was to recognize early such employers and bail out.
You're correct, in the US we have two fundamentally right-wing parties, which allows them to effectively consolidate power by offering a controlled "resistance" party which disagrees on petty issues mostly regarding representation but which agrees on all major issues including those you mentioned, healthcare, military, foreign policy.

When I was a kid I depended on public libraries to learn about computers. I know college students who simply can't afford textbooks, so they pirate them. But that enabled me to find a career that lifted me out of the rural community I grew up in. Now I buy every book I read, on paper, and pay for expensive software.

Digital lending and the National Emergency Library would never have appealed to me. It doesn't reduce sales of books, because those who can buy, will. I'd much rather support the author and have a physical artifact in my hands than an inconvenient digital scan. But for anyone not in that position, the NEL could be a lifesaver to ride out the pandemic.

IA made the right call morally and ethically. It's only the parasites of society who would tear them down for helping disadvantaged people out during an unprecedented planet-wide crisis, because their actions help the disadvantaged without harming the market potential of authors.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about. There's two cases:

Drivers are open source and part of the kernel. In that case, if a distro hasn't enabled support in their kernel build, you can build your own. Or compile it in with dkms if it's out of tree.

Or it's a proprietary driver, and then it might only work with certain distros, but in this case I seriously doubt the HW would work with NetBSD either.
You are suggesting a technical solution to a cultural problem.

Speech is supposed to have consequences. How else could it be?

> Up until now, major social media (FB, Twitter, Youtube etc.) have been free to suppress conservative voices in the name of opposing racism and white supremacists.

I guess nazis can be seen as conservative voices by definition. But isn't that the same thing as Fox in the other direction? Corporations suppress viewpoints they don't like. Have you read the ToS?

> As a result, someone gets doxxed, fired from his job, threatened with violence etc., he now has the wherewithal to go after the platform that facilitated the cancel mob

So newspapers will be unable to report the news because people might lose their jobs? People lose their job all of the time when newspapers report on their crimes/actions.

Cancel cultural is a bad cultural phenomenon. We need to develop a healthier culture to fix this problem. Hamfisted Federal laws are not going to make a significant difference here without causing significant harm.
It is worse than just crazy. Government is made of people, and people are corruptible. If the encryption backdoor key leaks from the government to a bad actor, it will create a "national security" issue of magnitude never seen before. If this line of reasoning is correct, then proposing an encryption backdoor is akin to committing an act of treason in itself, because it is purposely weakening the technological infrastructure of the businesses and people in the country and thus the country itself. Attempts like these are either doomed to fail, or they will doom the country to fail.

They have a right to suppress speech on their platform. If I show up at your house and demand to install campaign signs in your yard because of my first amendment rights what are you going to say?

I suspect “get off my property”.

Twitter and Facebook and everyone else have those same rights.
The best is to associate a touchpad and a trackpoint:

Does this mean that for any given prime, there will always be a prime within 600 digits? Or that given a set of infinite numbers, you can also construct an infinite set of pairs of primes 600 digits apart?
Whoops my bad. I was reading all the other comments here in response to this and I responded to yours. I can't disagree. Older versions of word were a lot more stable than newer versions.

About the Ctrl-s thing, maybe it's specific to windows, I use libre office on linux and have for years and Ctrl-s on a new document has always brought up the save-as dialog for me.

Either way, I'd rather use an older version of word or libreoffice over new versions of office.

I grew up using older windows, I don't really remember it being overly good or bad, it just kind of was. I remember lots of crashes, but used to do a lot of things I probably shouldn't have been and I do remember it working for everything I tried to do so I don't really have any complaints really. I don't really have any fond nostalgia either though to be honest.

I stopped using windows entirely outside work over a decade ago so none of it really matters all that much to me.

If you look closely you'll see that Google Maps are not a shitty general purpose application specialized on search. It's a single purpose map application that people insist on using for things that aren't search. It's laser focused on generating revenue.

The real question is why do people insist on using it? If people didn't, they would have to broaden their goals.
At Uber, we are also adopting a lot more SLOs and SLIs. It's a long and painful process. We started implementing error budgets as well, on an area-by-area basis. There's a lot of learning, and a lot of trial-and-error.

As someone who is working in this space, I found this article to be quite vague, and couldn't take too much out of it. It would be great to see specifics on one SLO, the associated error budget and what graphs Twitter uses to track this.

And while SLOs are a good start - I assume this will be SLOs across services on latency and availability - the next step is measuring key user journeys. "What % of users get stuck on a page, getting the same error message over and over?". "Where can we see a sharp increase from p95 to p99 on success or latency on a user journey, that we can click into?"

I have a feeling Twitter is still at the first level, as most companies I know are. Clearing this one, the next step is what is even more interesting.
> At the higher levels, there's what Tatlow calls "elite capture" of German political and business leaders.

Stunning amounts of FUD in this article.
> Twitter tried to claim their banners on Trump's (and other public officials Tweets) were allowing because of 230

I doubt it (though feel free to link to a statement), because they aren't "allowed" to put labels on tweets because of Section 230, they're allowed to do so by the first amendment.

Not all growth hacking is unethical. WePay's $100 bills in a big block of ice dropped off at the PayPal conference comes to mind. Or Dropbox giving you extra free quota for going through their tutorial, installing on a new device, or inviting a friend (where the friend also gets extra free quota).
We are remote for now. We will encourage folks to relocate in the future, though there may be exceptions for certain individuals.

As the tech director and hiring manager for these roles, my sense is this:

If you're qualified, I want to chat. Yes, we would prefer folks to eventually end up in Los Angeles, but whether that happens will be on a more case-by-case basis. To be really honest, it depends on the role and seniority of the individual. Some roles are more collaborative and we'd really prefer those to eventually be in the office. Others less so. And overall experience makes a difference too. The more experience someone has, the more likely we can make remote work. And to be fair, our policy is evolving, so not everything on our website may be up to date.

If we talk, we can have a candid discussion about what that could mean for each candidate.
thank you!

While we're at it, a small tip:

make -p

(or `make -pn` when you're inside a directory with a Makefile and you don't want to trigger the default target as a side effect) lists all rules including implicit ones, which is great for discovering useful builtin variables. For instance,

$ make -p | grep '^LINK.c'
LINK.cc = $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH)
LINK.c = $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH)
LINK.cpp = $(LINK.cc)

> Then the platforms that host social media need to stop suppressing speech.

They clearly state in their ToS that speech is limited on their platform.

> His response was to suspend their protection from liability lawsuits under 230.

Well, his response was to state he was "looking to see if he could suspend their protection". There is nothing to be worried here, because anyone can tell him that the answer is that he can't suspend their protection.

It was just infantile bluffing that in most other situations would cause the person bluffing to lose face, but not in the current political reality. In most situations, it's best to not state orders that you can't possible enforce and that reveal your weakness.

Since this is a subject I find fascinating, I'll add this link that I first encountered here on HN long ago: http://zesty.ca/voting/sim/

It's a mathematical model and accompanying explanation that shows that simple plurality (first past the post) voting produces bi-polarization, while other voting methods like approval voting do not. It also shows that the instant-runoff voting method that people are trying to replace FPTP with is non-monotonic, meaning that gaining a few points of support can actually hurt a candidate.

To the extent that a cancel mob was created by the editorialization of a company (eg promoting specific posts), they can already sue the company for its part - section 230 does not apply to the data that the company itself publishes. And to the extent that the cancel mob organized itself organically, attacking a company for providing a conduit is a direct attack on free speech.

That said if this does pass, we can only hope that the attractive nuisances of webapps will fall out of fashion. User-advocating client software is the real anti-censorship future. Of course what will likely happen is the frog will slowly continue to boil, and the censorship regime will be extended to p2p communications as well.
I think an issue the American craft beer scene has is quantity over quality. Some American beer places I go into have like forty different beers on tap, and are really proud of it. I find it hard to believe that forty beers are being kept fresh and live and maintained properly. Are they replacing them every few days or are the less popular ones in a range that wide sitting there for weeks? I feel like they're ending up quietly taking lower-quality shortcuts like using kegs rather than casks. I don't know why they don't focus on fewer, higher quality beers, rather than a ridiculously wide range.
For what it's worth, if you happened to run on this platform in an area where I had a vote, you would probably get it.

True true, and I mostly did the same this time around. But the pandemic thinned my savings much earlier than I anticipated (I should have been able to coast on them all the way to Christmas) so at one point I was forced to play the numbers game -- while ignoring obvious bad signs -- much more than I wanted.

Lessons learned though. I quickly started putting very steep conditions on the table in response to employers whose conditions I had reservations about. It worked. 99% bailed out, only 2 agreed with my conditions. But by then I had much better offers overall so it didn't help them.
True generally in Physics as well. What's the point of "understanding" Quantum Mechanics intuitively when you can do computations blindly without it!
