If your content is so toxic that you can’t find anyone in the world to provide even basic network connectivity, it might be time to ask whether you’re using “controversial” as a synonym for “illegal”. That happens to groups like ISIL, but even that’s not completely successful, and it’s extremely unlikely that anyone reading this has “international takedown” as a realistic threat.
My gut reaction response to this is that is a false equivalence as one can have a chilling effect on free speech by a corporation, while the other constitutes a useful safety rule by a government that is supposed to have our consent to govern.

I realize there is some political opinion in there and feel your point warrants a more thoughtful response. Let me think about this...
In a concurrent language, shared mutable state is the trap that Hoare's CSP book was urging us to avoid. Worse, in Go builtin maps are always writable yet parallel writes and reads can segfault. There's a sync.Map type but it isn't a drop-in replacement (because builtin maps don't implement any interfaces) and it isn't typesafe (because no generics).

This is useful for a lot of projects. I've used a similar db library in a rust project I was working on for an example application. This way there are no heavy dependencies or even the need to say "you need sqlite".
mwfunk covers it well. To add on.

A lot of libertarianism was invented in the late 40s as a response to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. "How do we avoid totalitarian states" - their answer was to simply remove the power of government to regulate/oppress/etc. It is important, IMO, to recognize the root problem that Libertarianism was aiming at solving and not laugh it out of the room.

Anyway, this dovetailed into the prior opposition to FDR's New Deal, and misc refugees from the USSR such as Ayn Rand. Remember, this was during the Second Red Scare and McCarthyism. The Conservative wing of both parties choked on the Free Speech and Civil Rights movements. Goldwater happened to agree and win the 1964 nomination of the Republican Party. He was roundly defeated, in part because Americans broadly disagreed with him. A lot of his campaign alumni and supporters went on to be influential in the 70s and beyond. A lot of today's old partisan hands in the GOP trace were either in that campaign or mentored by people from it. Much of the GOP history since Goldwater has been how the "Rockefeller Republicans" were turned out by the Tea Party or its ideological forebears.

Note that all of this essentially wound up reorienting the Republican, Democrat, and regional politics in the US to the configuration you see today. For sourcing - Kevin Kruse is a historian at Princeton - he's tracked this reconfiguration and has the documentation of how this played out. I'd start with his documentation if you want to dig into it.

In my experience, that's harder to do than you might expect. Some years ago, I found some unmaintained software that worked for signing html. But I didn't find anything to verify signed pages. Just an old Firefox extension that no longer works.

At least for me it is because of the realization that the past wasn't that much different than the present.
Good news! We open-sourced the runtime, and the standalone App Server, so you can now deploy anywhere you like:

Back when this started I made the claim that the long term consequences of lock down would exceed the short term benefits .

Depression, Drugs overdose, murder (despair), Suicide, extra sedentary issues leading to diabetese/CVD, loss of jobs/meaning et al.

I havent seen anyone do the math of the uptick there to talk about the marginal benefit of lockdown or the fact that this, once again, is a form of biased benefit for the elderly at the expense of the younger (elderly more likely to die, younger more likely to suffer harder from lockdown)

> In California, yes local government hands are tied by prop 13, as is, in a sense, the state government.

Prop 13 stops state and local governments from working towards affordable housing how? Even if you can establish a link between the two that I can’t see, I’m curious how you think that a state law is not in some way a part of state governance? Isn’t this definitionally a part of the failure of CA state government?

> Exactly, it's hard to have a functioning local government when hamstrung by a federal one that is actively dysfunctional.

So why can MA have great public education? Does the Federal government treat CA differently than MA?
This makes the most sense. Perhaps being forced inside away from someone who could say stop.

Which raises the question would a basic income cause more misery for the general masses?
Potentially a factor, but don’t you also think widespread unemployment and general trauma - collective and individual - could play a role?
Most of the freeway walls you’re referring to are made using concrete forms and not block. I would feel extremely sorry for the company and the masons that would need to create block walls that are miles long, in no shade, during California’s summer.

I’ve worked for a masonry company for about four years and recently started my apprenticeship to become a brick block and stone mason a year ago. Working in this sector has made me truly appreciate the amount of work (Work = force*distance) that goes into any masonry. You see brick block and stone EVERYWHERE but what you might not realize is each brick, each block, each stone, has to travel from their source to their final destination. Usually that’s done by someone like me; if we’re lucky, we’re using M2 mobile hydro units coupled with a boom lift to reach whatever heights we need to hit. If we’re not so lucky, we’re building scaffolding by hand, stocking everything by hand, mixing mortar (in a mixer) by hand and using buckets to get the mortar where it need to be. It’s truly mind boggling and back breaking work. I realize this is an emerging technology but some of the masons I work with could reproduce work very close to this, maybe not mm accuracy but close enough where you’d never see the difference. And 3 months to lay ~15,000 bricks is an INSANELY long time. To put that number into perspective, a crew of 5 guys with average skill (3 masons, a laborer, and an operator making mud), given no extra equipment besides a mixer could pound out about 1000 brick in a day. That’s including everything from setup to cleanup.

Some of the guys I work with have been a mason for 40 years and they posses some incredible skill and can create amazing things and damn they’re fast too. The sad fact of the matter is most blueprints don’t want fancy masonry work anymore. It’s too cost prohibitive. We charge about $25/square foot of stone that’s without added arches or keystones or corbels etc; that also doesn’t include material costs (mortar, stone, tar paper, mesh, staples, etc). One experienced mason can throw up 100 square feet in a day, sometimes more given the differences in material. I wish we got contracts to create the beautiful buildings like in downtown Chicago or Milwaukee but it’s too much of a numbers game with real estate developers now. No one wants to pay us to create art, just slap it up and go man go!

With all that being said, man I’d like to have some time to play around with this tech! Or at least get to be the guy that holds the camera all day ;) looks like a breezy job compared to what I do everyday.

I don’t think it’s that simple. I’d say it depends a lot on how much fiber you pack with the carbs.

So quick sugar like carbs like highly processed wheat flour will not give you the same spike as say some whole grain rice that has been re-heated a few times (just as an example of how different carbs can be in composition, not saying you should always prepare food like this)

I would have thought they'd pull the plug on these new jets they had to fake safety compliance for and keep the older, working models that people will actually fly on.

> had a brutal lockdown early and thanks to that they are now largely back in business

Wait, that doesn't make sense - are you saying that they locked down long enough that everybody who had the virus "lost it" (either by getting healthy or dying)? That doesn't sound very plausible given what we know about epidemiology. The lockdown was sold here as a way to "flatten the curve": everybody who would have gotten it will still get it, but not all at once, so the hospitals won't be overwhelmed. Is anybody claiming that China's lockdown actually eradicated the virus within its borders entirely?
From what I’ve seen they’re primarily in tourist centers, for the Americans.

a tinfoil hat tip: imagine the shitstorm if Apple would allow proper introspection instead of suing these companies who offer such a service. that storm would be much harder to manage now. if I'd really believe it myself I'd even say controlling the messaging was part of the reason why they sued these companies and instead are providing limited subset of such features themselves.

This would be really cool, but it wouldn't work for the "last mile". It's too loud and obnoxious to land in cities.

Maybe if they could modify it to deploy Marine 1 mid-air, but to me that sounds a lot like stranding the president wherever you dropped him off and an necessarily high risk maneuver.

Maybe the president gets an ICBM-Force One in the future, but I bet they also keep an Air Force One equivalent around too.
I've seen it in Europe too and those guys definitely couldn't even name one southern state. They did find something about the symbolism very appealing though. Something about some group of humans being superior to others, I can't recall exactly.
I believe the reason is because it was in the US for much longer than thought. Somewhere summer last year on it started to spread undetected.
It's similar to Fidelity, Vanguard, BlackRock, etc.
Twitter has always gotten a bunch of crap for having a pretty hostile API (for example, token limits and API not being at feature parity with the main site with things like polls), but this seems to be concrete steps in the right direction. Jack has said this will get better, and I am hoping they actually follow through with the steps in this post.

I wonder if we will see a resurgence of 3rd party Twitter clients. I still use Tweetbot for the lack of ads and chronological sorting, but do miss things like polls and threads not working 100% of the time.

I'm reminded of the apartment doors and coffee machines in a Philip K. Dick story that charged a fee each time they were used, and refused to operate when the protagonist was behind on his rent.

The door refused to open. It said, "Five cents, please."
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. "I'll pay you tomorrow," he told the door. Again it remained locked tight. "What I pay you," he informed it, "is in the nature of a gratuity; I don't have to pay you."

"I think otherwise," the door said. "Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt."

...he found the contract. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.

"You discover I'm right," the door said. It sounded smug.

Didn’t stress test it. Replaced it with the good stuff couple days later :)
A doom and gloom from the media isn't helping either. It's one thing to provide information, but the endless speculation about "how bad its going to get" is irresponsible.
A _large_ proportion of worldwide freight is ordinarily carried in the belly of passenger aircraft. When most airlines stopped flying, the price of air freight _quickly_ rose (as the capacity pretty much fell overnight to just the dedicated freighter aircraft). This meant it became profitable (i.e., above the marginal costs of the flights) to fly passenger aircraft purely for the belly-hold freight.

They certainly aren't doing this and making a loss: they're hemorrhaging enough money already that they wouldn't want to add to that, but when the marginal cost is essentially the landing fees minus the parking fees they'd otherwise be paying, plus the additional cost of paying the crew above and beyond any furlough payment, plus the cost of fuel, plus any marginal maintenance cost from the extra cycles.

Nothing that you just said requires sniffing the clipboard contents without you initiating the transfer.
Maybe they had innocent motives, or maybe they didn't. It's irrelevant. Attempting to normalize a symbol that for millions of people stands for brutality, terrorism and oppression, doesn't change its nature for that population of people.

Now you might say that it doesn't matter how those people feel. They're not us. They have their culture and we have ours. Well, what if 10 years down the road there was a new hit show in the Arab world where the characters were all very charismatic, wholesome and diverse, but their car had an ISIS flag on it?
Oddly enough in 2010 I did some consulting with a Manufacturer in Spartanburg (;D). It took 24 hours to hack the control system and unlock all the features. Last I heard they'd decided not to go that path. I often wonder though, if it will come back. What I fear though is, Additional monthly service fees (ala their annual Car Play fee they were charging) ultimately adding to the cost of the vehicle.

Yes, CA’s major problems are pretty directly derived from this, IMO. The public infrastructure issues are driven by extensions of the attempted time freezing as well as a uniparty lack of accountability.

I mean that "full ownership" implies "owning the entire stack". Which in any useful context is arguably impossible. So "full ownership" just isn't a useful way to think about this.
