Membership of an organization that commits crimes is criminal, not because it is political. And if you're a member of the KKK you've certainly been implicated in a crime in some way.

That being said, it is completely ridiculous to extradite an Australian for leaking US State secrets. It should just not be a thing, at all. So yes, leaking state secrets should not be an extraditeable offense. Treason? Maaaaybe.

I don't see a particular number cited, but a whistleblower alleges that it occurred so often, a particular doctor was known as "the uterus collector".

(Her complaint is largely about failure to follow proper procedures for COVID, and this "uterus collector" thing is not the bulk of her story. Obviously that's a pretty explosive allegation though.)

Counter-Strike was Half-Life mod, and Half-Life was developed by Valve, so it's still the same developer. And yes, the Epic is the first company on the PC to do that. Console exclusiveness is known fact, but you could _buy_ game outside of the Steam if you wanted to. Epic started to hunt for 3rd party games and lock them in exclusiveness deals.
Yep - When I started cooking more meals and larger portions because I'm home most of the time and wanted to gain weight, I noticed that my kitchen is really suboptimal for this. Prepping breakfast and or a quick supper does the job, anything a bit more elaborate becomes a hot mess due to space and appliances.

You'd be surprised just exactly what you can legitimize. No entity, legal or otherwise, inherently deserves deference.
Just as modern static languages date back to 1950s FORTRAN, dynamic languages date back to 1950s LISP.

Today a person who uses LISP might use Python, TCL, Node.js, Lua, etc.

Despite attempts (Algol, Ada, ...), there wasn't really a portable language for general systems programming until C came along. FORTRAN and COBOL were designed for specific application domains. Pascal was intended for education although I thought Borland's Turbo Pascal was better than C for real work in 1990.

fwiw, I've spent 10 minutes scouring the timescale.com but I can't find any information about the difference between the Apache-2 Edition or the Community edition. Links from your GitHub readme suggest that such information used to be there, but now it's all "cloud" vs "software" - if I choose "software", which of the two editions do I get?

I assume this is still a WIP since the recent licensing / business model changes likely also warranted website changes, hence my feedback.

Congrats on the move btw, and fantastic that Timescale Cloud is working so well as a business model. Are you considering adding other clouds? I ask for selfish reasons as we're currently on Digital Ocean and quite happily so. If Timescale Cloud would exist for DO we'd likely become a customer.

In fact, if your business model succeeds and gets adopted by other open source vendors, supporting a wide range of clouds and hosting providers might very well help directly undermine the current effective oligopoly that is AWS/GCP/Azure! That'd be just splendid. Sorry for rambling a bit :-)

Thank you. We need to think about these things because if we are just satisfied with "no emissions from the tailpipe" we are doomed. Buying a Tesla is not buying an fossil fuel free product. Teslas require fossil fuels to make and the more Teslas we buy, the more fossil fuels we emit.

Not sure why you've been downvoted.

NFL may not be in as good of a position to distort the political environment as Facebook just due to the obvious differences between what they do, so maybe not seen as as much of a "threat" to the political order. But the NFL absolutely hides behind the same "no politics here!" curtain that Zuck is attempting to pull down. Nobody is really buying it from either company. Anyone who has watched an NFL game has seen the stuff you mentioned and more. It's absurd to say sports are not political .. of course they are! It's one of the few common grounds Americans have to stand together on, it is broadly politicized as a result.

Edit: grammar fixes
That could be for Deaf people. I'm a cochlear implant user, having been hearing impaired most of my life. Because I know what things sound like, I have an advantage over Deaf users of CIs. Thus, for me, hearing is like the difference between a RAW image or the same image in JPEG with heavy artifacting, or like seeing something in 60fps- you know what you're sensing, but it's just off a little, but still much better than sensing nothing or very little at all.
For the 500 millionth time Section 230 does not say "censorship makes you a publisher". It says the exact opposite. An information service cannot be held liable for:

"any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected"

Translation: they can "censor" or moderate or remove spam to their heart's content, even beyond what's legally required.
your idea of "acting ethically" may not be how I interpret the situation. Therein lies the creation of division.

The "worst thing that happens is ICE uses another vendor" is such a slippery slope view point.

Should all 3rd party tech companies stop servicing ICE because the employees refuse to support it? What about the millions of Americans who do not work for a company with that power? Should you be given the ability to undermine something that impacts everyone?

This is the direction we are heading and it will create division.
In terms of ethereum, do you mean ethereum smart contracts? The ethereum platform, as defined by it's creators, is actually quite technical.

Those aren’t the optimizations I’m talking about. That’s not even how JSC optimizes overflow checks.

I’m talking about:

- abstract interpretation using a streamlined version of the octagon domain.

- instruction selection and register allocation hacks to emit the best possible code for checked math. I don’t think llvm has parity with B3 here, particularly in cases where inputs to the math are live on the failing case.

- probably other stuff. IRs that start out with checked math tend to include checked math reasoning in more optimizations.
Yes I'm sure you can, but illegal immigration is only illegal because the current occupants don't want it. However those same occupants are there because their ancestors 'illegally immigrated' that lack of awareness is my problem.
I brought timescale (a postgres extension that brings time series to postgres) to my current IoT job, and it has been the biggest engineering win of my career. The tooling, community, extensions, and quality of postgres + very high performance inserts + reads has reduced costs for the business dramatically versus the previous cassandra + sql server setup. We have tens of billions of events in multiple timescale hypertables, with many thousands of inserts per second running on r5.xl nodes in k8s (4 vcpu, 30gb ram) and they don't break a sweat.

So yeah, it's "good enough".
Once Apple is legally required to allow third party app stores it will be possible to create open ones as well.

> They can clearly afford to do so, but it seems like they just don’t feel the need to make the investment.

Is it clear? If it's that easy, how did Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon all fail in their efforts to break into that market?

It seems much simpler to force Apple to follow fair trade rules on the marketplace, than to force every other company to develop their own OS and hardware. Furthermore, the latter option basically bars anyone who isn't already in control of a large corporation from entering the mobile app market without Apple's blessing.
There should be standards, even if they aren't defined by law. "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" was republished by Henry Ford as part of a series of anti-semitic articles. The decision to publish them was immoral and is evidence of Ford's racism. I'm sure employers at the Economist would be angry if it started to run articles that would be a better fit for the National Enquirer.

Facebook is kind of different, it argues that it's a platform not a publisher. They do have some ground to argue for looser guidelines. But their business model targeting engagement incentivises them to promote divisive and false information. I'd be much more comfortable with Facebook if they didn't promote extreme and dangerous content. What those standards should be is a thorny issue, but better moderation would be an improvement.
There's a range of possibilities between "everyone made it up" and "ICE condones concentration camp experiments on detainees".
Absolutely, most people are actually smart, at least in my experience. But I think it's important to realize that this "basic moral decency" you talk about, is something that we commonly use in a lot of industries, but no one is forcing us too, so it can quickly disappear or be forgotten. Especially when you're working in a for-profit company.

It starts being murky when the $1 changes to $10 or $100, as now you're trying to balance two values, profits and overall helpfulness. If you're asking the company to take a stance, you and others might feel differently about what's important.

Some industries simply look the other way and make the simple statement that it's all about money, nothing else. Sometimes I dream of taking that stance, just because everything would be simpler.
If the government needs gas chambers, the responsible thing to do is make gas chambers. Don't worry about what they're using them for, that's just process and policy. Click your heels and fall in line, that's the mature, responsible and profitable thing to do. Not like those damned political activists; the world would be a better place if they were in gas chambers anyway.

> Refusing to make business with the government if it's not your guys calling the shots is political activism though.

Only, ICE was deplorable under Obama too.
> Refusing to make business with the government if it's not your guys calling the shots

I really don't think that's what's happening here. It doesn't take long to read up on the activities ICE has been (very plausibly) accused of doing that would shock many people. Excusing that just because they're a government agency just seems strange to me.

Could you object if it was a private company doing it, but not object if it's a government agency? I don't get it.
Nobody is forcing Joe Blow devops to work at Facebook and get very well compensated. Sometimes you need to face the morals of what you are doing

> Accepting profitable contracts from government agencies shouldn't be seen as political.

There's probably an argument to be made that the profit motive has the ability to strip all other political motivations from a decision, but the result of the decision can still be deeply political.
Do you really believe that if there is proof of this doctor performing unnecessary surgeries that he will not go to jail?

The difference between China and the US is not that people in the US don't do bad things.... of course people do bad things in the US.

But when it can be proven that people here broke laws, they do go to jail.
No, but they could try to stop their algorithm from recommending groups promoting disinformation, conspiracy theories, hate speech, and racial violence.

They could also take efforts to fact-check political ads, or prohibit them entirely as others have done.

The reality is that Facebook is afraid of a reckoning. They're pretty sure that they're going to be under investigation, and likely regulated or broken up, if the democrats win. If the republicans win, they get to continue to be the incredibly profitable right-wing disinformation distribution hub they have been for a while. This gives them little incentive to clean up their act, since that might leave them vulnerable to the consequences of their actions (or inactions).

It's not just about letting people post lies and disinformation from Fox News, it's about Facebook actively herding whoever they can into groups that radicalize people in order to increase their engagement by driving them down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole.

Basically, people who are exposed to simulations (video games) as a child have more knowledge/memory/awareness of patterns that are used in these games. Due to the general fact that video games tend to drive players to a goal, people who played video games as a child tend to have an easier time focusing on the details of an environment (in this study, processing 3d objects) and ignore details that are not relevant for the task at hand.

It is important to note that the difference between [past] video game players and non video game players, is that the difference in ability to process these 3d objects lessened once players spent time in training exercise (presumably from the article says, Super Mario 64).

Not groundbreaking, but it makes solid sense to me. The rewards-driven nature of games helps promote patterns of learning/memory that help accomplish the task. These same patterns stay with the person as they get older and they can apply the same principles to tasks outside of video games.

I think they can be helpful for achieving that initial critical mass of understanding around a topic ("a is to b as x is to y... oh okay, I better understand the relationship between a and b"), but yeah, if you don't unwind the analogy afterward, then it can be a false understanding.

I found this kind of thing a struggle in engineering math courses, where you'd often move equations into transformed spaces (frequency domain, whatever), perform operations on them, and then un-transform them to pop out a result. It's like, yes, the transform is obviously an immensely powerful abstraction, but I didn't really trust what was going on in there unless I did at least a few of the exercises from first principles as well, in order to prove to myself that doing operations in the transformed space was "safe".
> He declined to say he wouldn't do the same thing again.

Was he presented with a loyalty oath that he refused to sign? What do you mean he "declined to say"? Was he asked to say "I won't do this again" or do you think he should have volunteered such a statement?

In the post you linked he acknowledges having "caused pain" & affirms that Mozilla is a 100% inclusive company. Do you think he should have done more than this?

For my part, I find loyalty oaths odious & refuse to ever participate in them. I support gay rights, gay marriage etc. but if you demanded that I state my support for gay marriage upon your command, I would tell you to get lost.

Not only that, but they seem to be responsible for policing political opinions in the US alone.

You don't go from zero to mastery in one book. Three years minimum, double or triple that if you're doing other stuff as well.

To start, Stepháne Faroult's SQL Success will give you a solid grounding in using RDBMSes as an application programmer. It's not Postgres specific, but the learning you need to do isn't tied to one vendor.

But as sibling said, you'll be using the documentation as well. PostgreSQL has documentation that is nearly up to the standards that hardware engineers expect and rely on.

Initially it seems like a clone of Google Stadia: the controller, the native integration to Alexa and Twitch, and even the product tiers features (e.g. 1080p, 4k addon).

Key difference is that it's a native game subscription service, more like Xbox Game Pass than Stadia, and buying games doesn't seem to be an option. Also more closely aligned with the game studios like Ubisoft.

I wonder why it's not bundled with Prime subscription for a new/beta product. Might come down the line?

> If you look at /r/politics on reddit you see the opposite problem (over-representation - nearly 100% - liberal news sources)

Is this actually true? I get that there's usually one or two left-leaning sources on there, but more than half of the stories on /r/politics (the top 30 stories, as of 9/24 in my browser) are from centrist / conservative-leaning news sources.

The real problem seems to be that the overton window has shifted so far right that "liberal" in the US means "super-hyper-conservative, but a fraction less conservative than today's GOP talking points".

MSNBC, USA Today, Politico, Washington Post, Newsweek, NY Times and more are all on the front page of /r/politics right now, represent slightly more than half of the stories in the first 30 entries, and not a single one of those sources are remotely "liberal" in any way.
Yes. And a platform whose userbase is already conservative will become more extreme in that direction.

Or it's opposite.

Children recently get so overprotected (eg they no longer can go walk in the forest alone for example), so when they reach 20, they are still children mentally, they cannot stand for themselves, and they expect protection from employee, government, society even when they hear something offensive (which is a lot).
this shows how dangerous the Left Wing filter bubble has become.

undecided voters dont care about a 2 year old funny meme gag video. they care about 100+ days of nightly riots in dozens of cities. they care about police officers being shot by assassins and ordinary home owners being assaulted by mobs with impunity. they care about sky rocketing homeless, murders, burglaries and robberies. they care about millions of small businesses being permanently closed and tens of millions of unemployed.

just like in 2016, the Left drank its own kool-aid and believed in its own filter bubble propaganda and got blind sided by the freight train of Reality.

Trump will win again, and the Left will be shocked and cry again because they walled themselves off from the real world.
