> Eliminating all physical proximity with other humans for months or years is very much not.

Agreed. That is excessive and is not what I'm doing. I meet with friends roughly two out of three weekends, and I see my girlfriend every weekend (can't really see her more than that, she's working 15 hours per day during the week). But I'm not going to boardgaming meetups, to museums, to the gym, out to eat or to the cinema, which are things I would do three to five times per week on normal circumstances. I'm basically avoiding all activities where I would be in contact with strangers for more than a few minutes.

> Those friends you're sometimes visiting, after which you beat yourself up for being selfish? Probably many of them are suffering quietly, and seeing you gives them the strength to get through the day.

Thanks, that's nice to think about.
Absolutely Amen. Thank you.

Big tech has been around for a long time it’s Big Tech FANG that’s new. Apple and Microsoft are not new companies. IBM is old school big tech that’s been cozy with the US Govt for a very long time. Fairchild was big with the government before they produced their first silicon integrated circuit.
This isn't a fundamental issue with composites. Although they do require more stringent process control than traditional metal structures, with good procedures and QC they are extremely strong (and have significant advantages over metal structures--we've just been working with metal for so long that we know a lot about its issues).

The main question is whether or not Boeing fundamentally has good procedures and QC--if those have been compromised, they can't really be trusted to make mostly-metal airplanes, either.

The way I understand it, it's pretty much every person's brain all the time. We all, always, emotionally decide then rationalize. We can build systems that protect us from this inherent flaw, but that's different than not experiencing it.

Smart people are more susceptible to high impact biases though, which is maybe what you meant? Lower IQ people are experience this less?
So in one breath you're saying GR would have appeared quickly if Einstein had not described it, and in the other you're saying he was the legend of his myth and productive his entire career.

It is simply my opinion that GR was so amazing, insightful, and non-obvious that it would have taken a similar miracle as Einstein himself for someone else to have intuited it and worked it out, but given enough time, eventually it would have appeared.

BTW, Einstein's most cited paper, by far, is from 1935, written when he was 56. I suspect that's some evidence he did good work after general relativity.

OR it is evidence that he had decent research assistants.

AWS is everyone's competitor. Their playbook is to take open source products, package them up in the AWS cloud, and provide long term support. That does not mean that the AWS version of every open source product is the best version. Redis Labs doubtless has a deeper feature set that will appeal to customers in a different way than the AWS offering. Additionally, Redis Labs is cloud agnostic. That's a big differentiator.
None, really. I guess really, what I found was that this was, in many way, a worse experience than I had with paper books.

You can read about the specific reasons that driver versions were blocked on the Mozilla Wiki https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drive... Most are due to the drivers causing crashes or security issues in Firefox.

I think a broader answer to your question is that most apps accept that if a driver causes a crash or security problem, it's not their problem and it's up to the user (and driver developer) to remediate it. Firefox has chosen to attempt software fallback to avoid the issues. There are obviously many trade-offs for good and ill with this approach.

It also goes the other way.

Section 230 was about child pornography and became used as a safe harbor for anything.

I am not usually agreeing w the Trump admin but they do have a point there.

In general our thinking about freedom of speech is itself idiosyncratic in the same way. Human FREEDOMS means doing what you want. It’s not the same as a right to a megaphone maintained by thousands of employees and infrastructure of large corporations to give you a platform to say anything unfiltered to 5 million people at once. I would argue that such interpretations of the First Amendment have been detrimental to society. Speech on giant platforms should be vetted like on Wikipedia’s Talk Page, where mutually distrusting people engage in responsible fact checking BEFORE the crowd sees the main page with these claims.

But hey I also argue similarly that the supreme court’s Heller decision similarly obviated the Well Regulated Militia clause into irrelevancy, so now anyone can have a gun no matter whether they are part of any well regulated organization or not. No checks on individual action that can affect others.

Now we reap what we sow as a society. Yes FREEDOM of speech is important but what we call freedom today has greatly expanded even to unlimited political donations by super PACs and so on. Again a supreme court decision where expanding freedoms in Citizens United harms democracy. A win for ideologal purity I guess, but is socity better off?

PS: before someone objects with “who will be the factcheckers/watchers I will say it will be self selected and self policed like on Wikipedia, as long as there is a healthy mix of views, it’s better than one wacko with a megaphone. Who does this celebrity culture help? It further divides us. And that’s why we can’t have nice things!

I've never used this service, but let's play along for a moment.

Let's say that 100% of the servers were bastions of hatespeech. It seems like the folks in this thread would be against banning it in that case. But I think that's wrong. If the app was 100% just hatespeech sites, then it should probably be banned.

Now, then we get to reality: What is the real mixture? 80%? 50%? 20%? I don't have any background knowledge to make a guess. But I think it would not be difficult to show that whatever percentage it is, it would be far greater than say, what you can find on the average internet site.

Why do I say that? Because instead of going on Facebook, which is so easy that over a billion people use it... you have to pick up an obscure piece of software and run a server, or something. So the only people who are going to pick this up are likely technophiles, and people who have been banned from mainstream sites.
yes, it's been common knowledge in biomechanics that wheeled vehicles win on flat surfaces, hands down (ha). legs are good for the 99.9% of earth's land that isn't nearly as predictable. the general utility of accessing that 99.9% is relatively dispersed though (and hard to build a business on).
Yep, that's what I do, and work is easy to coordinate, but some other social events or organizations with inexperienced non-tech people don't have slack and don't think to check their email. It is easier for them to have a pre-specified backup option.
That still leaves the other problem - people will eventually stop believing real video evidence. Cops will claim videos of their abuse are deepfakes, and people will believe them. Politicians will claim that recordings of them soliciting bribes are deepfakes, and they'll be off the hook. Concrete evidence of misdeeds is one of our best ways to hold powerful people accountable, but with deepfakes they can simply flood the web with fake incriminating evidence and we'll become so accustomed to ignoring it that we ignore real evidence as well.
I seem to remember using fake CC generators that didn't really "work" for billing but they would pass basic muster to activate the 30-day trials in their software. In retrospect this was moronic because it couldn't have been that hard to figure out where these obviously fake trials were being set up every month but somehow it worked until I was able to get a university dial-in account or a "cracked" version of those free services that showed an ad window in exchange for free dialup (the cracked versions hid the ad window).

Great, but I feel those eye candies with e.g. growing and reshaping lists will get old fast. What would be more useful for work in the long run is a rather tacit - not distracting - hint of what's going on, unambiguous but not trying to switch attention.

If you're fast stepping through code trying to confirm it working or finding a bug, you're going to be annoyed by the time it takes the visualization to finish on each step.
But this still has nothing to do with "controls the software and the hardware" -- which is also true for the people with other priorities. OEMs can modify Linux however they like. Microsoft makes their own hardware (e.g. Surface).

But Microsoft targets businesses who don't care about polish because the buyer and the user are different people, and Linux targets hackers who care more about other things. It has nothing to do with what was originally claimed.
Influenza vaccines only started to become available in the 1940s. Are you claiming that human society didn't operate before that?

Influenza also increases the risk of blood clots and ischemia. So SARS-CoV-2 is nothing new in that regard, although the effects appear to be more severe.

Got it. It works for more as a nudge for a habit than anything.

But I am wondering what other aspects of reading I can improve for people. For example, I have in mind creating "virtual book clubs" where I match people that happen to be in the same chapter of the same book. This means that the initial reading doesn't have to be through email, it can be anyway the reader prefer.
I'm not gonna lie when I was a child decades ago it was well known even amongst childrens books at the time that that line's a load of horse shit. There's tons of books where that exact phrase is used to show that ignoring verbal abuse is wrong and emotionally damaging.
I've noticed those with a stronger craving for social interaction having a much harder time coping during this pandemic. They tend to do like you and rationalize exceptions and reprieves toward more normal behavior.

I'm not criticizing; I'm sympathetic and agree with you that we're all human and need to maintain some empathy for how tough this is.

I'm just fascinated by the contrast. For my partner and I it hasn't been a big deal. I expect some of that is down to circumstance. We don't have kids, and already worked from home. While we still interact with people, it's far less than before and we maintain our distance. As volunteer firefighters / first responders we're particularly sensitive to the medical risks. We wear masks to go shopping and wash it all before it comes in the house (which is surely overkill, but not so onerous once you get used to it). We're fortunate that we adopted a dog a few months before this began and have a ton of great hiking terrain at our doorstep to go decompress. Of course we certainly haven't been unscathed - she was in finance and lost her job pretty early on when the market crash and pandemic-driven panic forced the company to downsize - but we're managing.

I have some very social friends (same walk of life, no kids, etc) who keep trying to get in our face, and while I love them to bits it gets annoying at times.

I can't say I envy the health authorities tasked with issuing guidance to the public and recommendations to legislators - they have to balance the need for containment - which can change rapidly depending on conditions on the ground - against the economic and social consequences (which as you alluded can leave some people feeling a sense of imprisonment).

If you get a chance to speak with people who landed in intensive care for Covid or lost loved ones to the disease, it really drives home the cogency of the risk you're dealing with - just as does hearing from those countless numbers who've been impacted in non-medical yet severe ways from society's countermeasures.
Soviet Union was never about equal outcome. It was proclaimed, but worked around in every way possible. Jews were limited in access to education, ex-nobility was limited in rights, the party members were given all kinds of preferential treatment and nomenklatura living in relative luxury while the peasants were starving. Hey, even the city dwellers were privileged compared to peasants who were tied to the land and required visas for inner travel. And access to Moscow and its opportunities was tightly controlled.
>It was from the RAND study that the false rumor started, claiming that the ARPANET was somehow related to building a network resistant to nuclear war. This was never true of the ARPANET, but was an aspect of the earlier RAND study of secure communication. The later work on internetworking did emphasize robustness and survivability, including the capability to withstand losses of large portions of the underlying networks
The fantasy equivalent is talking about how their own magic systems can influence society. Brandon Sanderson's two Mistborn trilogies are good examples of this. They don't have that hook to our reality that cyberpunk does, but as a fan of both genres it does carry some of the same vibes.
My post was meant to be more rhetorical in nature, to demonstrate that overzealous censorship is not an issue which can be solved by simply stating "force all non-illegal content to be/remain published".

It's easy to hand-wave it to the courts, but there are many issues with that approach as well (e.g. non-technically competent people making decisions about technology, government not immune to corruption nor censorship, courts are slow by nature).

Your answer also conveniently side-steps the nitty-gritty implementation issues. How does a platform deal with spam posts if they are unable to delete content that is legal? If you don't like a website, simply post a few thousand Viagra advertisements to their front page for a few weeks and they either have to advertise Viagra or shutdown.

Speaking of advertising, why bother pay for ad-space on a website like Reddit, when I can just spam my product on every subreddit over and over again and they have no choice but to keep it up?

Will these rules also be applicable to other forms of media which also have a viewership above the arbitrary "large" line? Newspaper, books, TV? If not, why not?

These are just a few off-the-cuff issues that come to mind. I'm sure people smarter than me who take some time to seriously consider this approach will be able to find hundreds of such examples of why "forced to publish all non-illegal content" sounds great but is simply not a feasible solution to the problem.

As an aside, I find it odd that the answer to censorship by private companies is to offload everything to the largest centralized system with the longest history of censorship: governments.
The parts of Cyberpunk that are valuable are the aesthetic and the way in which it provides tropes, and expectations that let you tell different stores. If someone picks up a cyberpunk book they expect the protag to be an antihero or even a villain. They expect noir themes.

In Neuromancer the protag murders a bunch of people in an office building because he and his friends want to steal something in the basement of the building. If you set that story in the modern day readers would likely have far more empathy toward the victims of the attack. If you put that story into the startrek universe and readers likely wouldn't finish the book. The aesthetics of Cyberpunk is a sleight of hand that let's get away with themes that you couldn't tell in other genres.

Monetary policy and the fact that the big tech companies (and a lot of the smaller more "boring" ones) have almost universally resisted the effects of C19. A large part of the world being asked stay indoors means more spending on home entertainment (Netfix), more free time to melt your mind with social media (Facebook), more ad impressions (Google), more online shopping (Amazon), businesses needing a robust WFH infrastructure (Microsoft, Zoom).

This is all while "traditional" businesses have had governments shut them down or tell their customers to stay at home.

If you were an investor paying attention over the last 6 months you would be selling everything else and buying tech.
Section 230 exists because it is operationally impractical for websites to affirmative approve of all, most, or even a significant portion or content before it is published by users.

If there's anything that is an indisputable fact, it's that no high-volume platform with user content can proactively police their platform 100%. I think that's a silly rationale to say that they should be prohibited from manually policing content that is brought to their attention afterwards.

> I made just over ~20K and my wife didn't work.

> I was carefree.

These two statements are inconsistent. As someone who's lived a few years at earning ~20K, I can say that when 70% of your income goes to rent/mortgage, and 30% split between automotive/basic necessities, you are never carefree. Your always one mistake, one mishap, one unlucky event away from being homeless and destitute. When you can't celebrate any event, any birthday, any Christmas or holiday, can't engage in any activity that costs any amount money, and can't save anything? Every moment you spend planning and worrying to try to keep your head above water. Not sure how you can be carefree while you're constantly at the edge of losing everything you have and the ability to get it back.
