Your suggestion sounds nice in principle, but how would you propose to create mandated democratic control of a corporate entity?

The only mechanism which exists I can think of would be to nationalize the corporate entity and have the folks controlling it be elected positions. That seems pretty extreme though as a response to a corporate entity becoming successful and growing enough that it influences the zeitgeist.

In a similar vein, that reminds me of the time I was stuck in my seat on plane that had pushed away from the gate, but was just sitting on the tarmac because the captain "didn't like the look of an engine indication". About 45 minutes in to just waiting there, there was a commotion as everyone's phones/Blackberries started chirping. Apparently, some plane had just landed in the Hudson river.

> At my current place of work, we have a rack of Mac mini’s in a closet as our build server for the iOS app.

One of the main selling points that Apple uses to sell Mac minis is their use in build farms and render farms.

If you click on Apple's page on Mac minis and scroll down until the 6th or 7th selling point, you'll end up seeing the part where according to Apple it's combination of stackable form factor and performant hardware makes it ideal to compile large xcode projects or perform video encoding.
Reddit is plenty cancerous, depending on how you define that. Certainly in the sense that people aren't arguing in good faith, aren't actively engaging, but are just firing talking points or insults at one another... the sort of thing good moderation used to help limit so that the quality of discussion remained high.

In guarantees the order of visibility of writes to shared locations. It dose not guarantee the granularity of updates to the shared locations, which is the essential difference here. How do you observe the difference between the three instructions just naturally happening to all run before your next instruction completes, and them eliding the memory operation as is happening in this optimisation?

It's like the ABA problem - how do you differentiate between just never happening to see a B out of chance, and B being elided instead? You can't.

You're arguing a point that the parent poster never made.

The parent poster simply said that they want to join communities free of (or, mostly free of) hate speech and that being free/mostly free of hate speech is an attractive quality for them.

Not once did they advocate for denying infrastructure or any of the other things your entire comment is based on. In fact, they stated the opposite.

It has been a while since I went to 4chan, but for /b/, besides very few exceptions like child porn, the rule was "no rules, it also applies to mods".

So they can allow the worst kind of hate speech, porn and gore, but ban a harmless meme because mods find it annoying. So the only rationale from banning images from "Cuties" may be "because mods don't like it".

I’d be curious to know if the actresses who are being faked, would have a similar problem if I were to, say, make a life like painting of them being naked. Artists sell images of actors all the time. People know they’re paintings.

I’m struggling to understand the distinction here. The digital creation is just a painting. It’s a digital painting. It’s 1000s of digital paintings being showed in sequence.

You may be tempted to think the issue is that when consumers view an oil painting of a naked actress they know it’s fake. Where as deep fakes could leave less knowledgeable viewers under the impression that the actress in question actually performed in pr0n. Ok so mandate that deep fakes are labeled as such.

Clearly it’s ok to do it in oil on canvas so when does it become wrong when done digitally? There’s simply no victim here.
Taking it outside of the walled garden should always be Step 1 for apps like this. PWAs exist, and most users these days have seen the "Add to Home Screen" prompt on websites. There is no reason for this to be a native app.

> This is particularly worrisome because for most people Google Play is the only way they understand to install apps at all.

I disagree. Users dependent on installing apps are the least likely to use fediverse apps to begin with. I use F-Droid or download APKs from XDA, but I have no idea how I would even get started with Mastodon or these other decentralized apps. I frequently hear the term "start an instance of ___".

What does that mean? Can't I just create an account? When I hear "start an instance", I think of launching a Linux droplet on Digital Ocean and setting up an app there. I can't imagine what an average user that wants a Twitter alternative would think.
This sort of position is part of the reason why monopolies are such a hard problem to address.

They X200 was when they moved from the best screens in the business to the most shit displays they could find falling off the backs of trucks, from decent keyboards to garbage keyboards, and of course with the X201 they started adding touchpads, which is apostasy, and it didn't help that their first touchpads were incredibly bad, contributing to the perception of the X201 as a piece of crap. Which it was.

Covid doesn't seem to be different that the flu in this regard. Any disease that has a fever component will leave some with long lasting problems. Any disease that infects the lungs will do the same. There has been nothing indicating that covid is unique in this regard.

Robust defense of private property (including protecting your community from incursion by criminals) or some way of reducing the number of criminals (most of which are politically untenable in the US, like eugenics, or no longer relevant, like extremely strict immigration restrictions).
Hi there, lead dev of UL here (seems HN found our beta :)):

1. That Section (5) is left intentionally reserved (empty) since the commercial version of the contract provides commercial license grants. This is typical when offering multiple versions of a contract.

2. Contracts are typically governed by laws of a certain government (this is called venue). You can indeed enter into an agreement with another party using a venue in another country. (FWIW I agree the Free License is a bit too unwieldly-- I'm going to switch to an slimmer alternative that's more grokkable)

3. You would use UL for lower-level control over the embedding itself-- the library allows you to override file system loaders, font loading, drawing/rasterization, clipboard integration, and drawing itself (via GPU display lists). You can think of it like a smaller, lighter, cross-platform WebKit that's way more "hackable" and is designed to display HTML in an existing app rather than function as a standalone browser (right now, we're primarily used in games).

4. ARM64 support is on the way, there'll be an Apple Silicon port later this year.

For your other questions:

- [Is it thread safe?] This is in our docs, the API is not currently thread safe but you can run the whole thing on another thread. (an upcoming multi-process RPC layer is being built around the core API, and that will be thread-safe/async)

- [Can it fall back to software?] Latest build of UL can fully render on CPU, so yes.

- [Will it be contentious for GPU?] The overhead is minimal. Views are painted on an as-needed basis to GPU display lists, you can see the full GPUDriver interface here [1].

- [Only the C & C++ bindings are official] Several users of our community maintain open-source bindings for other languages, we will move into supporting them directly as the project grows.

- [Why couldn't a dev team just embed WebKit?] As one who has worked on exactly that for 11 years, it's really not that simple. The API of WebKit itself is not designed for embedding inside an existing application, and also much of the design decisions of the engine itself is designed to build a browser, not render HTML. Furthermore, most WebKit ports are tied to a specific windowing-system which is a big deal breaker if you're embedding HTML inside exotic, cross-platform environments likes games and headless server apps.

- [What about CPU cycles? GPU cycles? Latency?] Sure I can put up more benchmarks to that effect, the website is undergoing a refresh for the 1.2-stable release so it's out of date.

- [What about Unreal, Unity, Godot?] Several users have already used the API to integrate into Unreal and Unity, we will make an official plugin for all three later.

Hope this helps clear things up! I'm usually available in Discord [2] if you have more questions.

While it's annoying that this is the case, pretty much all software on all commonly-used operating systems has complete access to everything.

When you install software in Windows, either it installs without Administrator permissions (in which case it still has access to every single user file) or it asks for elevation to Administrator, and users blindly click Yes (in which case it has access to the entire machine).

When you install software in Unix/Linux, you're almost certainly using sudo, giving up complete control. User permissions on single user systems are almost irrelevant. It's all about blind trust. People think nothing of installing software via "curl | sudo bash", or adding random PPA repositories to apt, downloading a binary and running it as root, or deploying a docker container linked from a blog. I know the risks and I do it all the time, because convenience always wins and popular things are reasonably safe due to the "mob trust" factor.

MacOS has made some incremental steps to wall applications off from each other, requiring explicit authorization for some actions via System Preferences toggles, but really, it's just adding inconvenience for your average user, and people will generally blindly agree, in part because some of the categories are too vague or broad (small UI widgets that alter e.g. keyboard bindings or window placement require carte blanche).

Phone operating systems are better at this than most, requiring explicit permission to access e.g. contacts, but there are still limits on how protected your data is. Most of the security on phone apps comes from the vetting required by the vendor lock-in stores. Yet we still had apps able to invisibly steal global clipboard contents until earlier this year.

So, yeah, it's stupid that Zoom's uninstaller has access to browser cookies, but do you think there's a single piece of software you use that doesn't? Everything on your system has access to everything else in most cases.
The real question now is how are they identifying these issues now and how many more have they identified or failed to identify.
8 years ago "Reddit Is Fun" was removed from the Play Store because it included "sexually explicit" material and it was related to the inclusion of NSFW and hate subreddits in the app's default subreddit list. Google was fine with people adding that stuff on their own, they just didn't want the app to be promoting or pushing it. The app was adjusted and updated and it was reinstated.

https://old.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/r3dhg/reddit_is_fu...

So the issue isn't so much that content is accessible, it's when the content is more integrated with the app.

I think them being full of "hate speech" is a consequence of them being deplatformed - they were forced to find a new home (I put "hate speech" in quotes because even saying "Make America Great Again" qualifies with some people).

Unless you have been deplatformed, then there is a lot of inertia stopping a community from upping and moving to a new platform.
Why should e.g. hate speech be allowed but not spam? Spam is perfectly legal.

You’re not actually against lines being drawn through legal speech — you just don’t like where they fall.
> It should be illegal for a big platform to shut down certain points of view when these points of view are legal and expressed in a normal manner.

Platforms aren't public venues, they're private businesses offering access to a service under terms that serve their interests and business needs first and foremost... terms that everyone agreed to before being able to use the platform.

>The law gives you a legitimate and stable line that you can draw between allowed and disallowed speech. It's fine for a platform to censor what's illegal, because in a sense, we all agree on the law and have a say in its content. But we have no say in big tech content policy, and that's what makes it illegitimate.

The law also allows for private ownership of businesses, contracts and freedom of association. The law says Google's platform is Google's property and Google can do whatever it darn well likes with it.

>You can shut down spam without harming the principle of free expression because you can express any idea in a way that isn't spam.

Who gets to define what spam is? Free expression isn't free if someone has the ability to define any arbitrary speech they don't like as "spam" and censor it. All of the slippery slope arguments applied to censorship of any other form of speech also apply to spam.
I hate too the testing policy in Japan.

But this policy alone cannot explain a supposed anomaly in the count of "requiring hospitalization" covid patients. That's because I assume that the persons with covid with a health state that requires hospitalization will always be tested.

What do you think would be a plausible bias? Maybe less aggravating factors among infected Japanese people?
Exactly this. I thought the article was struggling with the concept of metaphor.

> The idea that a random person on a message board could inspire someone to write software because someone said they needed a tool is the daftest, most out-of-touch thing I've ever read.

A tool already describes a solution to a problem in mind, it's clear cut. If the analogous problem here is "I want new genre fiction", then a) that doesn't describe what's desired, and b) that already exists (qua all the "punk" suffixed derivatives among other things), it's just not as popular, and therefore we can surmise the wrong question is being asked.

Stephenson once had a talk where he suggested that sci-fi writers should effectively return to optimistic stories, but he hasn't done that himself. He could literally solve the problem he described. We want what we want, and write what we want to write.
If you are looking for directions in a city, what matters most to you is that the roads look correct. This is why the Mercator map is used.

Whoa, wait a second...is this saying that roads which look straight on a map are actually not straight, in the sense that they're not actually following the shortest path between two points?

It's slightly appalling to me to think that people all over the world are building crooked roads so that they appear straight on a Mercator map, and then using Mercator maps so that existing roads continue to look straight.

I guess it probably doesn't make much difference on a local level, where the distances are relatively short, but there's still something a little bit horrifying about it, if I'm understanding all of this correctly.

So in the context of these notebooks it is actually quite useful to not depend on cell order, because the idea is that notebooks aren't simply programs or scripts, they are (potentially interactive) documents. You can write an article that presents the results of your script, with cells that contain text, interactive widgets and plots at the top, and put the code and data that generates these plots in "appendix" cells below that. Observable, a "JavaScript ancestor" of Pluto.js, has plenty examples of these:

https://observablehq.com

Also, I guess that you haven't used notebook environments like Jupyter before, so a bit of historical context might help. In Jupyter, cells aren't necessarily executed top-to-bottom, they are executed when the user asks it too. The result is then stored in the global state (well, assuming there is a global variable that the data is assigned to). This means that cells that depend on other cells also depend on the order in which those cells were executed. Worse still, if you write your notebook in a sloppy manner, you can end up with a state that you cannot reproduce from the still-remaining code (for example, you can have variables A and B, B is generated from the result of A, then you remove A. Because Jupyter is not reactive this does not update B, so your notebook keeps working just fine... until you decide to edit B). So previously, notebook-like environments made it really easy to introduce bugs like this.

With reactive cells you don't have to think of state. It's kind of like pure functional programming: it removes global side-effects. And note how on a technical level, making cells execute top-to-bottom is really just very a simple way to enforce that cells must executed in order of dependency! So either option insists that this global-state-that-does-not-respect-dependencies is a big problem that should be avoided, they just present different solutions for the problem.

There's more than 500 MHz of spectrum allocated to amateurs between 400 and 7 GHz in most jurisdictions. 420 - 450 MHz, 902 - 928 MHz, 1240 - 1300 MHz, 2390 - 2450 MHz, 3300 - 3500 MHz, 5650 - 5925 MHz are amateur bands here, and I think in the USA.

It's also generally very illegal as a hobbyist to build and operate your own transmitter, except with an amateur radio licence. If you're more interested in how the phone works and building your own, than just using it, that's what amateur radio is for.
