> this is so minor an infraction compared to so many others happening in the technology space...

Ah ok, that's understandable. I get desensitized to a lot of this too :)

> I do want to point out that not really giving a damn isn't the same as thinking it is a morally ok thing to do

Good point. I'm glad to be reminded of this :)

> Lastly I do kind of think personal responsibility has to enter into things somewhere.

Ah, this is prob the root of much of our divergence. I recognize that tons of my view emerge from my skepticism of what seems to me a cult of personal responsibility in the west. I lean much more toward collectivist mentalities, and suspect individualistic perspectives in USA are it's achilles heel.

The content and information flow of the world (and so a single life) has become densely packed with so much more context compared to 100 or so years ago when these ideals took form and served us. A founding principle of personal responsibility will increasingly fail us as we become emmersed in an ever-complexifying data and knowledge landscape. imho we can choose to be darwinian about that, or we can insist that our duty is to push knowledge and learning up through the system to _shared_ strata, to higher levels of societal abstraction beyond individual daily affairs. At least that's my hot take :)

Anyhow, thanks a ton for engaging! We may disagree, but your perspective got a lot more "real" to me as you shared :)
> How so? Aren't you still trapped on Xorg with their proprietary drivers?

As a FreeBSD user I'm still "trapped" on Xorg anyway, and in any case I'd rather stick with what works than learn some whole new way of doing things for marginal benefits.
I'm half Basque. The Basques have been in Europe for 5,500+ years. There are plenty of loosely-defined cultures which are

At that point you can do key derivation to get an ed25519 private key from the password and a server-supplied salt (specific to that user), after which the client signs a challenge the server supplied with that private key. When the password was set/changed, the corresponding public key was stored on the server.
I don't think this is about competition. It's about a belligerent foreign government posing a threat to national security.

Now you could argue that's a classic Dubya style ad hoc excuse designed to mask the government's true intentions with this, but I really don't think so. China's behavior is a legitimate threat for which shrugging and saying "let the free market handle it" seems an incredibly dangerous stance to take in my opinion.
No, the trend is toward courts forcing companies to pay for arbitration if they include arbitration clauses in their customer contacts or ToS. After all, the company was the entity that chose to require arbitration for resolving disputes, and can't later try to get out of it but citing the expense.
I disagree. This would prove why big government is dangerous. This is the perfect example of how powerful individuals can leverage governmental power to enrich themselves. He's like Trump, pointing out all these problems while exploiting them to the max.
The question in the case is not whether they are allowed to kick him off. The question is whether each of his Patreon subscribers can bring them to arbitration for interfering in their "business relationship". It's possible that every arbitration case could be found in Patreon's favor, but it will still cost them money.

Anyway I think the article is misleading. This only worked because Patreon's TOS used to allow it. They've since changed the TOS https://nationalfile.com/patreon-loses-lawsuit-with-owen-ben... and this wouldn't apply to any other company unless they had a similar oversight.

It usually starts out that way with any centralized for-profit communications platform. They wouldn't want to spring the trap before luring you in.
Don't they already?
Or it's because you and the GP presented no conclusive data, and people don't buy into your personal opinion.

Not everybody wants to join a hand-wringing pity party for no valid reason.
Yeah frankly I was shocked how obnoxious this argument he's making is. "No it's not that we don't pay artists enough, they just need to be working for us twice as hard to make money these days. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ " At least have grace to act like you can't pay artists more, instead of just saying "well you'd better work harder then, haha."
OK, let's try this:

Of course. If people are going to make poor analogies and mock a quote that has nothing to do with the topic at hand, at least get the quote right. It's not asking too much, is it?

I am no dietician or doctor. However, I can say that you didn't try the diet long enough to conclude if it had any beneficial effect for you. Also, given that you were not aware about the possibility of keto-flu, I suppose you also didn't gather enough information about it before going on such a diet. I strongly recommend that you learn more about the diet before you try it again (if you do choose to do so). It is easy to fall into a pattern where you fail to get all your micronutrients on such a diet.

When I tried such a diet, it had a very positive effect on me and I will eventually go back to it.
Every time I find something that seems unnecessarily awk in asyncio, I eventually find out there's a good reason. But plenty of things that are written with it aren't using it exactly right.

This article buries the lede, which should be at the top. It states:

> Yesterday, further emails published by the U.S. antitrust subcommittee revealed that Apple offered Amazon lower App Store fees to convince it to launch its Prime Video app on the App Store and Apple TV.

> The news that Apple made exceptions for Amazon for Kindle prior to 2011 and for Prime Video has caused confusion among some observers, as Apple has consistently claimed it treats every developer the same. Phil Schiller stated ahead of the antitrust inquiry this week that all apps in the App Store have been treated "the same - one set of rules for everybody, no special deals, no special terms, no special code, everything applies to all developers the same."

Phil Schiller was rather dishonest - implying that it always been this way, when it clearly has not. If his statement was identical to how MacRumors writes - the words "have been" are outside the direct quote from Schiller, where he could have said "are" in the present tense - then it was an outright lie. Not a good look in an era of renewed antitrust scrutiny.
"Effort to set up a build environment" is pretty much exclusively a problem with C and C++ code. Pretty much every other language has standard build tooling. e.g. with JavaScript you can 'npm install' and you're set.
The world did not have trillion dollar companies and billion dollar startups form within a span of few years either. Nor did small and medium businesses have the reach they do now. You can literally sell goods to people all over the World from your basement. You don't need a warehouse nor complicated advertising agreements with Media networks and advertise your business on billboards. Believe it or not, internet advertising became a powerful tool for small and medium businesses which they never had pre-internet era and were forced to serve only their local communities. Today the same businesses have a worldwide reach to sell their products and services. It is surprising that I have to explain this to someone who is from the tech field!

So you're letting him off the hook for hypocrisy? There's lots of other libertarians and non-libertarians playing by the rules and not benefitting from crony capitalism. Are you excusing Thiel for being a total hypocrite (e.g. making his money from government contracts) all the while telling everyone else to be a rugged individualist?

Are we supposed to admire looting the government as a kind of 5 dimensional chess, where the profiteers weren't actually grifters, but merely trying to make a philosophical point?

You know in security research, there are white hats, who find the exploits, notify about them, and are rewarded with recognition and sometimes bounties.

And there are black hats who use the exploits to pillage. These people don't get credit for 'raising awareness'

And in my view, Palantir is not a white hat libertarian exercise demonstrating how crony capitalism is bad and how we need smaller government.
So set up an organised way for me to do that, e.g. Patreon. Some artists already do.
There seems to be a misunderstanding about this ruling.

It's just a ruling against an injunction that would have barred resolving the deplatforming dispute through arbitration.

It has no precendtial value. It has no probative value. It says nothing about how the underlying dispute will be resolved.

It should be seen as just one of many examples of the courts binding companies to the arbitration procedures companies included in their customer contracts in their attempts to avoid court.
Not really comparable, unfortunately. Can't fly a fighter jet in IL2.
This is not only for "certain data on individuals", this is the case for all data.

The worst part is that US may demand that Amazon expatriate data from EU to US for US intelligence to get at it.

The source of this issue lies with the fact that US intelligence agencies have been caught in the past on industrial espionage and tapping EU government officials' data during negotiations.

And no - these intelligence systems are not integrated. UK intelligence has been half infiltrated by US and Russia(CIA and GRU run free in UK). Others have a very clear dependencies. There are only a few intelligence agencies that are truly independent - US, Russia, China, Israel and France.
I found the comment at the bottom of the page from the "Ibmresearch" user helpful in understanding FHE.

To quote his TLDR:

> TLDR Huge polynomials are what are operated on instead of plaintext values by hiding the real data in the polynomials with intentional noise to make it infeasible to extract the real data without the decryption key that knows how to remove it. All operators are bootstrapped from addition and multiplication and elegant modulus trickery. Noise is managed at each operation because the noise compounds with every logic operation you do. The result of an operation chain or circuit be it one operation or infinitely many, therefore, has some noise but can be decrypted by the person with the encryption key. The decryption effectively drops all the noise and hones in on the bits that matter. The person doing the computation is doing a lot of adds and multiplies on big polynomials so they cant understand what you are really trying to do.
If people can be ok getting a small piece, sure. But, from the looks of it, many are unhappy with that amount, let alone something like 20%.
You might be missing the point. A hospital in which surgeries are performed should hopefully already contain all dependencies required for a surgery. So when a new surgery is starting, the hospital staff should not need to run out and get more supplies.

In the same way, the "dependencies" required to build my hardware aren't counted in that number. What counts is the extra stuff that isn't already part of the running system.
Creating a realistic driving simulator would actually be much more difficult than creating a flight sim. Creating a virtual globe with ground details and buildings that look even moderately acceptable when viewed from ground level is very hard. This is as compared to flight simulators where terrain detail is mostly focused on accurate height maps and orthographic surface textures (which are readily available from USGS and other sources). Most of the urban environments in flight sims are poor quality procedurally generated structures - poor from a general game quality standpoint, they're fine for their usage in flight sims. For the most part, flight sims only bother to manually model and place the objects in major cities and landmarks, as well as around airports.

Promo material says that MSFS 2020 is using Bing maps to accurately generate models for 400 cities, but is using procedural generation for the rest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnithCa-H5w&t=1m55s

No one said it’s supposed to be easy.
I'm advocating you to use adblock since you are so easily influenced by ads. You need your safe space. There are a billion others who aren't as gullible as you are. They don't need to be "protected" just because your Highness feels so. We all have our freedoms to choose what we want to watch and not watch. You are just enforcing your idea of the internet on everyone else because you can't watch a 15 second ad that you fear will influence you. What a load of bollocks!

Btw the other comment was specific to the idea of everyone using ad block which is what you essentially advocated. Everyone won't voluntarily use an ad blocker. It has to be enforced. Now why should I be forced to turn off ads? Just because you feel so? I have my rights to view whatever I want. Who do you think you are to dictate what I should and shouldn't watch? If I don't like ads I'll block them myself. I don't need some authority baby sitting me. If I want privacy focused apps I'll use them. It is ultimately my choice. The moment something is enforced on me it just violates my rights.
Pre-smartphone era pretty much every hardware vendor didnt impose arbitrary restrictions on software like that (the notable exception being video game consoles). If you wanted to write a Mac app that said "also available on Windows" (or vice versa), no one cared.
The technical barrier. Maybe I'm ignorant, but I think Chrome & Firefox would put up a much bigger fight than App/Play Store. The latter is already a walled garden.
That's just how popular music and pop culture works. Internet and streaming did enable long-tail though. Its way easier to listen to and find those underground rappers compared to 20 years ago.
> The client made millions from this bank's operations alone. The client? Reliance.

That's a huge revelation, why wasn't this news? Reliance is the perfect example of crony capitalism.
I guess we just fundamentally disagree on some things here.

> The problem we're trying to solve isn't poor experimental design, it's a failure to publish "boring" results--a bias against uninteresting results which should cause us to distrust any interesting result.

I do not see the value in a quest to do boring and uninteresting research and publish it, even if the experimental methods are exquisite. The goal of PhD research is to explore and find something new or interesting to add to the scientific body. Graduates already cannot read all the interesting papers in their fields. If you add 10x more boring papers, they are never going to be read and will just be a waste of journal editor and reviewer time.

> An inconclusive result does provide insight. If you have 1 study showing vaccines cause autism and 37651 studies which are inconclusive, that starts to be pretty conclusive.

You can't add up 37651 insignificant results and say they equal a significant result. If there was a study with significant results showing no link between autism and the vaccine, it would get published (many such studies have been published). If your study just shows nothing, then most won't care because they can't learn much of anything from it.

> If the results produced are "utterly garbage", then that really shows us that the "beautiful experimental designs" weren't actually effective.

That is one of my points. Many experimental designs are beautiful and seem great, but then when researcher do the experiment many different issues can come up yielding little to no useful data. If you had to evaluate (for pre publication) every graduate students experiment ideas, you would run out of time!

> You publish the thing you agreed to publish, mention the interesting phenomena in the analysis, and apply to study it.

No one wants to read about the uninteresting experiment. They want to read about the interesting discovery and want learn about that. So, you publish the study of the interesting part and don't bother publishing the boring experiment.

> A journal of Null Results already exists, and doesn't solve the problem because it's just reversing the publication bias.

I guess I believe a bias towards publishing interesting studies with significant results is not a bad thing. Publishing inconclusive, uninteresting, or trivial findings does not add much value, if any, to the scientific body in my opinion.

> An experiment that gets a null result is not a failure. An experiment which fails to observe the variable under test is a failure. If science is working correctly, I would expect the majority of correctly-performed experiments to produce null results, because the obvious phenomena have already been discovered. The idea that "interesting result = success and null result = failure" is fundamentally unscientific and needs to be stricken from the human consciousness.

I don't believe "null result = failure", I believe many null results are not interesting and likely are not useful if published because many experiments do not produce useful data or significant results for a variety of reasons.
Did the cat meet its earnings target last quarter?
Sure, it's a crime and he knew that. That being said, let's not pretend like this is a fully developed adult human who has committed murder. This is a child (legally) who committed fraud. The brain of a 17 year old is still physically developing; the prefrontal cortex isn't fully formed. I can't fathom how you would expect them to have the capacity to fully grasp the consequences of their actions with an issue as complex as this one.
> That doesn't necessarily follow, as it depends on exactly what they have zero tolerance for.

It does depend on that, you're right. "Zero tolerance" sounds so clear, it even has a number in there! But, nevertheless, one can rationalize just about any outcome by invoking it.

Specifically, any administrator who hasn't worked out a detailed meaning will have to crystalize their understanding when it comes time to apply the idea. This process of rationalizing will be different depending on the situation and their biases.

The supposedly clear policy becomes capricious or arbitrary. And if it's not arbitrary because they have some actual doctrine that can be consistently applied, then it would make more sense to use that doctrine.

> I'm not trying to split hairs or be a Twitter apologist here...

Splitting hairs is the raison d'etre of this site.

I'm not annoyed at Twitter specifically as they're hardly the inventors of the phrase. My issue is with concept itself, and the broader mindset that you see in legal concepts like strict liability.

> Intentional misuse of credentials is ultimately [in]subordination...

Well, intentional is your head-canon since they didn't use that word. But intent is useful to the discussion; let me explain why I don't think zero tolerance allows for intent and other mitigating factors.

The point of tolerance is that some harm is done, and the injured party is going to limit their response to it.

Law typically breaks it out as the action that caused the harm, the intent to cause that harm, and the certainty of your knowledge of the facts.

As soon as you bring intent into the equation, you're willing to tolerate a great deal of harm. Someone can get hurt in a car crash, and if it's clearly an accident, the injured party is generally not going to hold a grudge.

If there's sufficient uncertainty, we aren't even sure we can direct our response to the harm at the correct party. Then we're stuck tolerating it, or taking it out on some scapegoat. And I'd even argue that the fact that we inevitably have to tolerate some harm makes the concept of zero tolerance fundamentally contradictory.

Tolerance is what civilized people do in response to real life situations, and when they don't you get feuding and war. This isn't a new problem, the point of "an eye for an eye" in Mosaic law was to limit vengeance and vigilanteism with a doctrine of proportionality. Not surprisingly, people still didn't get it, which was why Christ revised it to "turn the other cheek."
It worked quite well on "Kurve" (German for "curve"). Made us chuckle as youths coming from Poland.

However the problem often is that you don't know which word to look up in the first place. The possibility to paste a whole text and have it look for "problematic words" would be more useful.

st with tmux is pretty great. Just about the lowest input latency you're likely to find on Linux, AFAIK, and tmux means you need few or no patches to st to have a full-featured term. Not as low-latency as Mac terminal, but then again I don't know of a Linux terminal emulator that is.
