FB by its nature is political, as it supports its ad network. To say to employees you can’t be is really them admitting they aren’t equipped to deal with this crisis they themselves created.
Why would they be sanctioned? If GoDaddy is the registrar for a domain, GoDaddy knows who the real owner is. They have to, per ICANN rules.

And if GoDaddy reaches out to that customer on behalf of another customer, they don't reveal any private information. Each customer only sees their own interaction with GoDaddy. They don't see each others' info.
JetBrain products (in my experience) are a ram eater, much more than any other IDE I've ever used, but in that similar vain no other IDE is as powerful as IntelliJ is for me.
Get an Arduino starter kit and start hacking on some little project around the house. With a bit of persistence, C/C++ is not so difficult to become productive coming from almost any other language. And with the help of platformio's [1] CLI tooling it makes uploading and debugging your code on chips like the ESP8266 (or ESP32 or Arduino) pretty straight forward. Then of course there are the actual physical pieces of hardware, wires, circuits, components, etc. It's a whole new world in which to learn and break stuff. Good luck!

I think a lot of countries built reactors when the economics of Nuclear reactors as well as the economics of renewables were unknown with respect what they would look like in scaled deployment. Modern looks at the operating costs vs time to build, vs modern construction practices from the US, France, China, et al seems say the economics of Nuclear reactors have stalled or increased, while the economics of renewables continue to make accelerating improvements.
While I agree with other posters here that Pret has overpriced mediocre food the standard coffee they offer is IMHO better than at every other similar place. That includes Starbucks, Nero, Costa etc

I think the term is more use cases rather than value added services.

Parts of the 5GC specifications such as URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication) allow for far more safety critical solutions to be back-hauled over a mobile network. Autonomous driving, critical industrial control systems and remote surgery solutions are some I've seen.

Even standalone 5G networks are now specified, they use unlicensed spectrum and give you the freedom to not even include a carrier in the equation at all.
If the OP had led with the book titled "Debunking Howard Zinn" the post would have been flagged. Calling one truth and the other a lie puts us back to the beginning of the 20th c. Soon we will be chanting "viva la muerte".

> Why not use the same (weak) moderation mechanisms everyone else has? Not like you can avoid politics on your regular feed.

Because people don't typically use Facebook at work? It's a recreational tool. The issue is that for Facebook employees, they are working on building that recreational tool, and that hampers productivity and professionalism.

> I guess he realizes they don't work.

Or he realizes that they work for a service that's typically consumed during one's free time, and not as a direct component of one's employment.
As a Firefox notes user, baiting me in with an "Update" title is cruel.
Historically, burning of media has always been associated with people with conservative, limited views. Nazis have burned books, religious followers have burned rock and roll records, flags, effigies, but this is the first I've heard of people with liberal views symbolically destroying something they disagree with. I thought the whole point of freedom of speech was that we would agree to disagree on things and leave it at that.
What is a “proper judge”? You mean you want the courts to moderate your social platform?
Maybe it's because the more technical audience here is not as susceptible to fear-mongering efforts by anti-nuclear lobby.

Nuclear energy is the greenest and cleanest energy currently available to humanity.

Also, technical people like complex technology. In this regard nuclear power is very akin to space exploration and artificial intelligence.
> The carnivore diet is not necessarily a ketogenic diet, although it is an extremely low-carb diet. However, the carnivore diet gives you all the benefits of ketosis and a lot more.

I am asking you to support this claim with science-based research, that explicitly studies the differences. The rest of your post is mostly just noise if that research isn't readily available.

I am more than aware of the troubles of doing legitimate scientific research at scale on diet. And yet, you yourself were able to provide scholarly articles on the benefits of a Ketogenic diet.

I have done both carnivore and generalized ketogenic diets in the past. I am also an extreme skeptic at fad diets like the Carnivore diet. I've yet to see a single piece of legitimate evidence to suggest that the Carnivore diet is anything more than a Joe Rogan-backed ketogenic diet.
Thank you for this insight!

This is sort of what I was thinking about in my original comment. I would hate to have to discuss political affiliation, or make public judgements on other people/issues.

I wonder what the people who justify working for Facebook because they’re “changing it from the inside” think about this.
Because Facebook, by it's nature, is designed to filter content. It turned everyone and everything into a content generator, even down to the level of "Jimmy liked a post by Burger King!". It gives everyone access to this unfathomable ocean of content, and then filters it down to something a person can consume.

Some of filtering is based on what the user wants to see, some of it is based on some notion of how "good" a piece of content is (scored by likes and engagement numbers), some of it is from advertisers paying to have their content make it through the filter, and some of it is Facebook deciding what should be seen and what shouldn't (mostly driven by their desire to keep you on the platform). Every single thing you see on Facebook has made it through a huge filter that ultimately decides if it's something you should see or not. And the inevitable outcome of building a gigantic what-information-do-you-get-to-see machine is that there are many, many parties trying to influence the machine.

Phone lines don't have that problem.

I learnt the basics of ES5 a long time ago and I need to learn ES6 in order to bring myself back up to date so that I can then learn React. If I was forced to choose, I would prefer a theoretical but comprehensive guide to one that's practical but minimal.

Thank you.

Certificate Transparency makes this significantly harder to do stealthily. I’m not convinced that Cloudflare is a deep state operation either, but Cloudflare's ability to secretly MITM is a position afforded to a select few, and certainly not every CA.

I am in this same boat. I recently signed up for Firefox Private Network and I'm in the process of switching over to Mozilla VPN. I think both of these services are great (even if they're essentially white-labels of other companies products) and they're the kinds of things I associate with Mozilla and Firefox. I would also pay for their password manager if it were a little more robust (and if they charged for it) just to get the tight browser integration.
Yeah I have a similar inability to put together a word from letters being spoken to me.

I'm also really bad at anagrams (and by extension, scrabble). I always wondered if those were related.
this, I’ve worked at places where we could talk politics and have disagreements and it’s totally fine. It’s when those discussions become toxic it’s an issue and management would rather avoid those hard conversations all together. Having said that, I have also worked places where it’s been banned. I also remember certain mailing lists just as toxic for non-political (maybe political in the engineering world) reasons. I think it all comes down to how you foster discussions about discourse.
Yes. Outside of the top 20 or so open source projects, few people are watching. Often only one.
You're actually right, in this case it is pretty comparable, so it's closer to apples to apples, which brings up concerns about costs and commercial viability of such a project, but that's not really point of this thread.

I spent the entire month of September 2016 flagging every single political post, whether it was a news article, friend's status, shared post, whatever, as "See less like this". It was completely ineffective. At the end of the month I was getting seeing just as much politics as before. So I'm not sure they can, or maybe want to. I was giving them all the input they needed to make a good classifier, and it was a lot of work. Maybe classifiers have improved enough in the previous four years.
I feel that you should be allowed to put a representation of a very public building in your game.
Those types of errors are usually pretty easy for humans to find and fix.
Taking that logic at face value, it would mean "if you choose not to take a political stance, then you still have made a choice". Okay, so you've chosen not to make a decision. Yet I don't see how having made the choice implies you've still made a decision ("you have still taken a political stance"). If anything it seems like you just argued against the point?
I made what I think is a good faith effort to review the link you provided, but I don't see any indication of factual errors Howard Zinn makes. It appears the criticism of him is that he is biased, he makes heavy use of secondary sources (a quantifiable claim which as best as I can tell is false given that Zinn's sources are enumerated and mostly primary) and engages in something called "presentism", which is to make moral judgements of historical acts based on modern moral standards, a claim I don't have any particular issue with but even if I did it has no bearing on the factual content of his work.

At no point have I seen anyone point out a factual error that Zinn has made, only that people don't like the conclusions he draws from those facts. Another commonly repeated point is that there are other historical works that do a better job than A People's History. That is almost certainly true as well, but that claim is no more relevant than pointing out that there are better scientific works that do a better job than Einstein's "Relativity: The Special and General Theory".

Having read A People's History, the very beginning of the book explicitly states that he is biased, that bias is something very hard to escape in almost any social study and is present among almost all historical literature whether the author admits it or not, and that the difference between his book and other historical works is that he makes the conscious decision to be biased from the point of view of the people who were conquered as opposed to writing from the point of view of the people who did the conquering.

Certainly Zinn has likely made some errors, but none of them are in the link you provided (as far as I could tell).
Thanks for the feedback. I was trying to distil the problem down to simpler scenarios but can see now where you are coming from.

I'll be working on putting together more detailed examples. Thanks again!
if those people used any best practice, and also swapped to another blockchain without using an exchange then it would be very difficult and fruitless to track the people behind it, all of those different organizations and armchair blockchain detectives would just be following bitcoin across addresses and making maps with arrows like a crazy person, not even knowing that they are unable to tell that the owner of that bitcoin changed hands 20 transactions ago in every single path. all of those organizations just assume a person "on the run" is transferring to different addresses they own "trying to hide", and that they'll eventually hit a known exchange address and get nabbed. with that poor logic, someone might get nabbed.

a lot of people don't use a single one of the default, best practices that have been on every bitcoin Wiki for an entire decade, so investigators have that going for them.
Yes we have more stringent safety requirements on nuclear, driving up costs
I used to love PGP, but I now think encrypted email is a bad idea. https://latacora.micro.blog/2020/02/19/stop-using-encrypted....

Better to use a protocol designed with encryption in mind, like Signal, to get forward secrecy, avoid leaking metadata, and have encryption always on by default.

UPDATE: I have been reminded that PGP does not have to be used with email. I meant to say that I used to love using PGP with email, since that is the primary way I have used it. I will not comment on the use of PGP outside of email, since I haven't carefully examined its use in other contexts.
It's not a legal requirement for them (AFAIK) to make decisions on allowing someone to register a domain or not. They're a private business, so my argument is it's (probably) in their best interest to not upset their customers and partners. There are plenty of examples of limits on almost all registrars, and I was curious why they have such a hands-off stance on bulk registrations very clearly being used for illegal activities. Ted's answer gives me partial insight, but my takeaway is not enough damage, legal risk, or people complaining to say no to the money.
I know I am weird, but I have a Razer Naga with several game profiles and find it really nice when it synchronizes the settings. I use the same mouse on my laptop and can pick up right where I left off.
It says it can be programmed over the microUSB (just like an Arduino).

That's for comments. AFAIK, there is never a downvote button for stories. I think the standards are different for comments and stories. Flagging a comment should be for something kind of abusive, but flagging a story could be just because it doesn't fit here or because it is the zillionth story on the same topic.
Patches welcome :P

But really, someone went quite far a couple year ago. Unfortunately he lost interest before the finish line. There is no such thing as a WM port from X11 to wayland. It's a full backend rewrite.

The design that would have worked (after like 4 rewrite), but wasn't completed, was to have a WLroot process, then some custom protocols to talk to an awesome "client". This was a fork of the old codebase with the X11 code stripped out and the implementation of those little private protocols between the wlroot "server" and awesome "client".

Using this model, the event loops lived in different process and AwesomeWM could restart without losing all applications. It did render stuff, including the wibar and clients (without titlebars). But that's about it. It never got to the point you could dog-food it.
Let's be more specific: you're in Myanmar (aka Burma), and there are Facebook groups calling for, and even organizing, massacres of the Rohingya minority. We should wait for a judge to shut that down? When the relevant judge is part of the people organizing the massacres? And no, this isn't hypothetical, this happened, and it happened on Facebook.
The thing is, it doesn’t even show me funny cat video anymore. It’s the same classical music video recommended over and over again.

To be honest, the more I think about it, the more I don’t know what money is YouTube trying to earn.

It’s probably just a dumb algorithm.

Perhaps true for individual mail but some corporate mail is very active with it.

It works quite well within groups. If you use it every day it’s a total non issue. The problem is people who set it up, forget about it, and finally get encrypted message two years later. Of course that is then confusing to try to remember how to use.
Dod taken to its extremes, is to give up on alot of other concepts like avoiding data duplicates. Usually you build a oop prototype to identify the hot loop and then build datastructures optimized for this process. Imagine it like a chemical plant that no longer receives one type per train or wagon, but instead processor batch sized pre mixed ingredients on wagons, that might even be reused as storage and staging for the refinery traveling overhead. A classic oop objects attributes might be distributed over several of such data wagons and the problem here is synchronization and updating. So what if your Algo processed it fast but is bow stuck waiting for another to sync its data back to arrays of optimal accessstructs.
No it wasn’t GK104 the biggest GeForce 6XX die didn’t only had 1/16th on both the Quadro and GeForce cards.

The Titan / Titan Black had 1/3 FP64 just like the Quadro K6000 which used the same die.
Unfortunately, most people that feel the need to comment vehemently in opposition to the very mention of Marx's name haven't read Marx, nor do they understand that the "communism" of Marx is not the one they've been taught is the ultimate evil (tm) while the capitalist billionaires evade taxes, laugh their way to the bank, and ensure America remains a country in which 1% of the inhabitants live in the 0th world while 99% slip into the 3rd.

Oh well. :(
What's more pathetic is that even after such high government expenditures in defence, Germany still lags behind most smaller nations in terms of the size of its army as well as the technological capabilities. So clearly she hasn't done a good job, yet she's been rewarded with the presidency of the EU, which is corruption in itself.
A lot of plugins require some external APIs. They get obsoleted way faster than you can imagine. And it doesn't end at plugins. If you use any design resources, they are more almost always using the most recent version, so you are doomed to load them with issues.

I use Sketch rather rarely once in maybe few weeks, but i've found out that it quickly becomes uncomfortable to use if you don't renew the license.
Worse: Facebook decides that the "most relevant" comments on such posts are the most inflammatory comments, because their algorithms select for engagement, so they want to show me something that will anger you, so you write an inflammatory reply.

This is a fair point, but I think the political aspect is an "emergent property" if you will, rather than an inherent one.

If Facebook limits the filtering to engagement, then it isn't the fault of Facebook that political content is engaging. That's just human nature. Disasters, outrage, politics, polarizing topics - these are all popular topics both online and off-line, and apread quickly as town gossip well before Facebook.

It is only when Facebook steps in and says that particular topics need to be exceptions to the filtering rules that apply to everything else, that they make themselves into a political actor.

For instance, let's say that the news feed showed you content based purely on number of likes. If political posts get lots of likes that isn't Facebook's problem. If the same ranking rules apply to all posts (# of likes) then they would remain neutral. As soon as Facebook says "content from x person will have their ranking artificially changed to reduce/increase engagement with it" thereby making an exception to the rule that applies to everything else, they have now become a political actor.

To make bombs. And what's changed now is we have enough bombs.

Seriously, even the reactors that aren't expressly breeding fuel were designed with an eye to the technology and as part of programs in the 50's-70's to build out expertise in this critical technology area of national security.

Countries wanted bombs. To make bombs you need a nuclear industry. Ergo, everyone who wanted bombs built civilian reactors, without exception.
Signal is great as an all in one solution if encrypted messaging is a hobby. It is also very good for mobile and encrypted occasional messages.

If you try to actually build a secure environment within a group that tries to maximize security while getting real work done you find you want to be encrypted by default at least with each other. Signal is pretty suboptimal for heavy volumes of messages. If you and I have three threads going they are all jumbled together. If I want to send to more than one person I have to whip out my phone and form a group and name it.

PGP is imperfect but with the right settings and defaults it is far better than having email default to clear text. And in any long term endeavor with more than a few people you will find you want email.

Signal is great for what it does. It is not designed to be a high volume working tool like email though.
