There is degrees to freedom of speech and until the chinese invent telepathy, freedom of thought is preserved, always.

But to the first point I just made; you can have freedom of opinions and freedom of facts. The former means you are free to state your opinion on things and it's something you get for example in germany. The later means you can state anything you want as a fact, regardless of if it's true and if you know it's true. That part is something most countries, even the US, regulate to some extend (false advertising in medical supplies for example).

Spreading false facts about a pandemic ought to be regulated by law, you do not have freedom of fact and never had it. You continue to have freedom of opinion in a lot of countries and IMO the number of countries that have it hasn't change since the pandemic started.
To be fair, it seems like a tough problem to solve generally: what is two variants of one product versus separate products is not well defined. Even if you only have two different colors of the same product, a review might apply regardless of color or only to the one color, or even a mix of both ("2 stars, the ink in this pen smudges too easily and the blue is a light blue not a dark blue")
The way most small countries have survived in the past century is to rely on the protection of a larger state with a powerful military and/or on international treaty organizations (UN, NATO, OAS, etc.) which derive their influence from those state militaries.
Literally every psychiatric drug on the market has a clincal trial or study. In order to be FDA approved any drug has to have large scale double blind studies to prove it's safety and efficacy and those studies are public. That's the law. Here's how to find info on them. That isn't to say every drug is good, or that occasionally there are side effects which cause a drug to be withdrawn from the market, after approval, but that's very rare.

The UI of it is what bugs me, as the comment boxes slide up and down the page while people are typing, so you have this annoying widget flying around and when you do want to reply to it, you've got to scroll around to try and find the thing again.

A comment/request suggestion feature sounds like a good one, but I think the way Google did it is far from ideal.
Ever hear of cargo shift? These would subject cargo to far higher g forces, making it much more likely cargo could move and unbalance the plane.

OK, my comment was over the top, apologies to Kleppmann if you’re still reading. He is a thought leader, and he’s the first introduction to distributed systems for a lot of people, and sometimes people stop with his work and don’t learn how much depth this field has. But that’s not really a criticism of him. And nobody should be compared to Nassim Taleb, I was clearly letting the heat wave get to me ;)

It's not the idea itself which seems to me absurd, it's the process - let's take something from abstract mathematical field and apply it on a vaguely "topologically" similar subjective experience and think that "it's proven by math".
I think something to rush the player is necessary for it to work well as a roguelite.

I love the idea of this, but some time definitely needs to be invested in reducing costs. $340 for a plastic housing and some screws? That's ludicrous.

I bet you could CNC some injection molds the cost of 2-3 of these chassis. If someone could do that and sell the housing for ~$30 each, this would be an impressive piece of kit.
You're meant to pick up the history as you learn the techniques. You're supposed to learn about Galois when you study groups, Cardano when studying complex numbers, etc. We explicitly invoke the names of mathematicians not to try to summon some saintly Great Men, but to imagine their mindsets and how their various discoveries fit together. Directly examining your textual argument, it's not possible to learn about elliptic curves without learning at least a tiny fragment of the history, where one of Weierstrauss, Montgomery, or Edwards has had their name directly associated with the concrete representation of the equation defining a curve.

I'd like to think that I'm pretty good with elliptic curves, given that I explain them to other folks. However, this tweet-thread still showed me things that I didn't know about the history of maths. Some of these tweets directly led to minutes (hours) on Wikipedia and chasing down various PDFs to read.

Honestly, you could stand to be less self-aggrandizing. It's okay if you don't get every joke immediately; you don't have to know every bit of historical background.

Elliptic curves aren't interesting because of the answers that we have. They're interesting because of the questions. One open question [0] is on the Millennium Prize list. Another open question is almost never written down because it's so simple; "why 1728?" [1] Coming to understand these questions is the goal of our entire process, so there's not much that I can really do other than to ask you to join the process of exploration.

Reddit's US political ad policy[1] seems like a great compromise between Facebook's (allow almost everything) and Twitter's (allow almost nothing, which treats rule-following advertisers the same as rule-breaking ones).

Instead of trying to define or assess which ads are "Good," Reddit disallows a few very black-and-white situations - like ads that try to discourage voting - but otherwise focuses on transparency. The complete details of every political ad buy (including the buyer, the targeting, and the cost) are posted to this subreddit. Comments are on.

Here's the most recent 2 posts about ad buys: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditPoliticalAds/comments/hjr3ty/..., https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditPoliticalAds/comments/hjseoy/...

(Also: Imagine being able to see this information about every online ad, political or not.)

No, it's not exactly like that.

But in short, yes, Elixir and Erlang are more akin than they are not. As both compile to an intermediate form called Erlang Abstract Format.

You've caught an important detail- that it molds once you've opened the bag- but only if you leave it there in after.

Bread boxes are one of those relics that faded into obscurity after the mid-century in the US, often becoming homes to all the other things you didn't know what to do with on your counters, but they used to serve an important role in keeping bread fresh and protected.

When we switched from formed dough breads to inexpensive batter loaves (the ostensible wonder of "Wonder Bread" was that it didn't have any air pockets... because it was poured into the molds), the lack of hearty crust and reliance on high moisture meant its quality quickly degraded in the open air, making it poorly suited to the former storage. However, if you bake a traditional American sandwich loaf, the best way to keep its texture and preserve it is to leave it only lightly covered so moisture doesn't accumulate and invite mold or make the crust lose its crispness.

So, if you want your bread to last (if indeed it is bread), don't stick it back in the bag to turn into a terrarium. Let it breathe and dehumidify some, and it will last until it dries completely. Better a little dry than moldy, right?
Basically the first number didn't really have any meaning, so it was removed, so the major versions (which I believe are released once a year) are:

9.2 (released in 2012)

9.3

9.4

9.5

9.6

10

11

12

13 (about to be released this year?)

That's still a lot of versions in between, each of them as new functionality and requires converting the database to upgrade.

NM: I didn’t see the double tube design.
This reminds me of the time that I tried to remove a little used feature of a product that I worked on. I could demonstrate that a total of four people had used the feature infrequently in the last year. It took forever to get the approval to remove it. I think that may also contribute to bureaucracy size. It’s next to impossible to remove something from the system as soon as it gets introduced. In other words, bureaucracy is monotonically increasing.
It's ironic but 4chan has quite a lot of moderation and bans and is also more pro-actively cooperative with law enforcement than other platforms like reddit, facebook etc. That last point might be why it has continued to survive.

> As the primary net effect of software is to facilitate bureaucratic complexity it is therefor essential that software projects fail if society is to function effectively.

This is a short-sighted and overly pessimistic view of the role of software. Let's bring in some sorely needed optimism that's especially relevant to the current pandemic:

https://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2020/04/05/ANewHope.ht...

Another area where software is actually good for the world is accessibility. Lots of people with disabilities, including me and several of my friends, are able to live independent and happy lives largely thanks to software such as screen readers, speech synthesizers (useful for both blind people and people who can't speak), optical character recognition, and speech recognition. Not to mention that many products and services that are merely convenient for able-bodied people are life-changing for us.

So I feel bad for people who are so caught up in the world of software that merely increases bureaucratic complexity, that they've lost sight of all of the good that software is doing, or at least don't get to contribute to that kind of software.
Not everybody is a Buddhist. Convincing somebody who has different beliefs involves more than restating one's beliefs.
I agree. Assange made a set of choices that had a political outcome, and he did it on purpose in the hopes that it would have such an outcome. One can argue all day about whether this interventionism was "ethical" or whether what Assange practiced was "journalism", but it doesn't really matter. The people who are deciding Assange's future -- the ones who Assange hoped to put into office -- don't give a crap about any of those questions.

It's not hard if you take a few precautions and don't need to hide from people with determination and resources (that translates into a spider on social media that performs facial recognition on every photo it finds, so not even a country). Get a new nickname (and stop using all associated accounts, including email), move to a different city, drop your old phone number and get a new job. Don't contact anyone from your old life. You've disappeared. Only real nutcases will try to follow you and unless they're also technically inclined or rich they won't find you.

If you're trying to evade someone that's technically savvy you'll need to take steps to make sure you don't pop up on photos and perhaps adopt a different writing style.

For more advanced scenarios it just keeps escalating to more and more difficult measures to take. For most people the really extreme measures aren't necessary.

Elixir is basically an Erlang that looks like Ruby instead Prolog. Combined with Phoenix which looks like Rails, this language is really getting traction.

I wonder if an Erlang that looks like JavaScript would work. It would be like what ReasonML to OCaml but may works better on the server side.
> Google Search indexes AMP pages to provide a fast, reliable web experience. When an AMP page is available, it can be featured on mobile search as part of rich results and carousels. While AMP itself isn't a ranking factor, speed is a ranking factor for Google Search. Google Search applies the same standard to all pages, regardless of the technology used

Google can render their own proprietary page format more rapidly than a normal page, when it’s been loaded down with advertising and tracking anyways.

That performance difference results in a ranking boost for sites using AMP versus their normal site. They could get the same ranking boost by simply using first-party ads and dropping all the tracking cruft, but for whatever reason AMP is an easier sale to them.

The fight against AMP is difficult because Google is leveraging publisher greed for tracking data to sell them on a lock-in proprietary format, and trying to argue against AMP from a web health perspective goes nowhere because it’s not focusing on the problem of publisher greed for tracking data.
I can always count on HN to take an uplifting story, ignore its contents, and complain about a perfectly reasonable headline.

Anyway, when was a kid I used to think retirement would be the perfect opportunity to do a massive amount of gaming. I tend to not be that optimistic since I worry I won't have the eyesight, memory, or even interest in my 80s, if I even make it that long. It's pretty remarkable to see someone doing it and doing it really well.
> c++ was not created for the specific purpose of making a language feel like ruby

> Yeah, Joe also said that object orientation was a terrible mistake, and if you read his design principles, Elixir was swimming upstream of most of them

Did you, by any chance, use Elixir in 2011 and never really re-approached it?

Back in 2011, Elixir was an attempt to bring Ruby and object-orientation to the Erlang VM. It had a prototype-based model, it had eval-based meta-programming, it had loops, and, as you may guess, it failed pretty spectacularly.

But at the end of 2011 and beginning of 2012, I started from scratch. Object-orientation has been removed, a Lisp-based meta-programming model was introduced, most Ruby influences were removed except for minor syntax constructs.

Saying that the design principles were "swimming upstream" of OO principles are inaccurate since 2012 - as most of your other comments in this thread. Our main additions at the language level, compared to Erlang, are macros and protocols, where one is Lisp-based and the other is taken after Clojure/Haskell. From 2012, putting the Erlang VM front and center has literally been one of our main design goals.
No, every time a platform or person gets banned online it's our solemn duty as the last bastion of true online intellectualism to clutch our pearls over the crushing Orwellian boot of political correctness and the death of free speech, the internet and civilization that it represents, and then get bogged down in pedantic tangents about the nature of free speech, hate speech, SJWs, leftists, Nazis and how Stallman did nothing wrong.

I don't make the rules, those are just the rules.
For this reason it's always funny to me when people say "criminals are always caught in the end", "crime doesn't pay", etc. How would they know?
I think censorship doesn't really work anymore. It is maybe restricted to certain demographics, but we have pluralistic sources of information that cannot be undone completely. So we are lucky, but censorship can still do a lot of damage.
I would love to make one of these with a full-size keyboard, without the touch and without the GUI. Just a term. Think tandy model 100.

A few months back I made an effort to learn GA. I did get some traction, but eventually shelved the effort. The thing that put me off is that no one could explain how to do units analysis in GA. I am mainly interested in physics and engineering applications, especially robotics and also RF engineering to some extent. Without being able to see how dimensions combine in GA, I have zero confidence in the correctness of my results. Arithmetic without dimensional analysis is not physics. Full. Stop.

So, if you could point to any resources that show how to properly dimension GA values, and how GA operators combine dimensions, that would get me started on GA again.
I don't know, the contents of this article sound really inaccurate. There's no software counter that idiosyncratically stops at 40 million - maybe 4 billion was the real answer, and the reporter misread the digits.

This sounds like a 32-bit TXID exhaustion bug in a Postgres database, which is a notorious and very difficult to recover from problem in live systems. It is probably the #1 arcane Postgres cataclysm. It would be consistent with how this is a "single coding error" (i.e., the call to VACUUM), additionally why it was so difficult to recover from ad-hoc. I'm generously assuming that everything else went well, that people who are building 911 systems aspire to do a really good job, and that it didn't fail anyone how important their work was.

Which is funny, I mean what if Postgres "failed" for every TXID exhaustion cataclysm it had. Arguably the best database product in the world "failed" because of this. It probably provides more than a few billion dollars to our tech economy, on top of being the hub for research in databases - research whose goal is the same as the one as this paper, to use automation to reduce bureaucracy and improve society.

Anyway we always imagine these rinky-dink consultant shops as writing all this custom stuff, and in actuality they are almost always combining a bunch open source and off the shelf things - which I would like to not see fail.
>So why is Apple taking a gamble with 5G?

Because less than half of Apple revenue comes from outside the US. Apple is international company and it cant' afford to wait what happens in the US. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon are not defining the global adoption rate.

It's interesting to see what happens with fixed wireless 5G. In some countries like South Korea you may have fiber+5G solutions may replace remaining copper installations in just few years. Fiber goes to home router or building router and rest is 5G.
It's sadly not as easy as you make it sound. I was recommended to use Ubuntu for my work laptop because the IT team couldn't guarantee support if you used another distro. I know my way around and particularly love Manjaro (and worked with Debian and SUSE and Mint) but the company uses proprietary VPN and a spy/monitoring agent and I wasn't sure I'll be able to make those work on a non-Ubuntu machine.

So yes, there could be huge sunk costs. After fighting with this work laptop for a full work day to get every single step of the onboarding completed, I am not looking forward to doing it again -- even less so if the proprietary and mandatory programs that I have to install can't be guaranteed to work on anything outside Ubuntu.

Where I live, it is possible to elect people into public office that weren't officially running, at least on a local level. There was a prominent example in a nearby town (not a big town, around 50,000 inhabitants) a few years ago in which only the current mayor and some dubios candidate ran for mayor. At the end, a prominent local opposition figure was elected because thousands of people wrote his name + address on the ballot. He accepted and is now mayor.
