Have you been following Assange’s extradition hearing whatsoever? The judge in this situation has taken extreme and alarming actions in limiting defense witness testimony, refusing to allow witnesses or lines of questioning that unequivocally demonstrate the prosecution to be lying, incorrect and deeply misleading, has refused to allow normal closing arguments, refused to allow a witness who was tortured in Guantanamo to affirmatively state that fact (which the ECHR ruled was fact), denied in-person and remote access to Amnesty International and many other international observers, refused to grant an adjournment for the defense to process sudden new charges tacked on at the last minute and refused to allow the defense to call new witnesses in light of the new charges.

What planet are you living on where you don’t think the judge (acting on extrajudicial political orders) is controlling the decision?

Capping the SALT deduction doesn't stop states from raising their own taxes — it just makes it harder to hide higher state taxes behind Federal deductions. Keep in mind that State and Federal governments are two independent sovereign state actors, with their own expenditures and services. Both have to be paid for somehow, and SALT tax deductions just hide the true cost at the state and local level.

Also, the SALT deduction overwhelmingly benefited the rich, who arguably don't pay enough in taxes.
It's not an "initial, mandatory stint" of 3 years. Most Supermax prisoners are housed for less than 3 years (in the Supermax facility), and in order to be subject to solitary on arrival you must be a high-risk prisoner (cartel or history of violence while incarcerated).

It is the exceptional case that a prisoner remains in Supermax, much less Supermax solitary, for more than a year. And quite honestly, all of those exceptional cases are there for a reason and have earned the punishment.

You control your computer, turn off updates, get malware, then come back and complain how M$ / Windows is crap. I really don't understand why so many people in this thread are actively complaining about not being able to turn off updates. It's like once a month and they give you advance notice and "pick a time"; you have a whole week to choose a good time to restart and apply some updates...
There really isn't a threat over the next 30 as you are trying to paint. Both Pakistan and Bangladesh are 90+ percent muslim. So by default, any social strike from pickpocketing to bombings are going to be perpetrated by muslims and have muslims as the victims by and large. And let's keep in mind, that ISIS is blowback from the 2003 Iraq invasion, where once again we went to the Middle East based on "terrorism".

*I am always perplexed by how Americans feel so much pride over this
The twitter link in the comment at the top of this post reports that the top 10 daily FB posts are almost all right wing. I am pretty sure this is being driven by a minority of users (and a lot of bots). In fact we know the whole system can be gamed. In that sense the whole network is polluted and suffering the tragedy of the commons.
I believe the "recovery" being talked about is an economic one, not from the pandemic itself. Which is also still debatable, but there are tentative signs that there has been some uneven economic improvement; we passed a trough in US unemployment.
Actually most of those are a combination of funding sources. But even given that, the effectiveness of those programs can't be distanced from counter effects from national policy.

For instance, libraries are funded by both federal and local sources. There is only one party that consistently wants to remove that funding (hint @which one: https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/l...)

How much additionally is spent is locally determined, yes, and here you see that disparity as well. In Georgia, a heavily GOP state where I have family, the online catalog is pretty meager, even for major cities. While they have PINES for the less populous counties, a state-wide interlibrary loan program, it only is for physical books. Access to electronic resources is anemic. In California, a heavily Dem state where I live, the online resources tend to be excellent (especially if you're in larger counties/cities), not only having an extensive online catalog, but a lot of extras (Kanopy, Hoopla, language learning stuff, etc).

But even all that aside, the -effectiveness- is curtailed by federal effects. Online resource access, extremely relevant under COVID, requires stable internet access. But unfortunately, that's not always available. Attempts to treat internet as a utility, to financially fund broadband rollout nationwide, have failed, due to one particular party preferring it staying privatized and purely for profit. Programs to create financial incentives to offset the cost even where it is rolled out have been created, but only under one party, and the other seems inclined to defund or cancel them. Attempts to allow municipalities to roll out their own broadband to be able to offer faster speeds without data caps at lower prices have been fought tooth and nail, again, by one particular party, on behalf of preventing governmental 'competition' with the private sector.

Etc. In short, while you're right that localities are run by both major political parties, both the explicit statement you make that funding is local (only), and the implicit belief you're relying on that you can distance local effect from federal decisions, are wrong.

Security Behavior Papers
You say that like you think such an endeavor would require zero of his time when in fact it would be a large undertaking for him as well in reviewing a large contribution and then having to credentialize it anyways to move forward with the project.

Also, there are an infinite amount of people who say they will do something, but won't actually do it. Has anybody who said they could do a UI overhaul actually started it and arrived at something worth sharing? The fear of the creator being "hostile" to your fork is a convenient excuse but doesn't actually stop you from maintaining a UI fork. Shit or get off the pot.

But the first thing you learn when you run a project with contributors is that contributions aren't just free work that you get to mindlessly merge into master. In fact, it's very likely that reviewing the code, correcting the code, managing the people (and their emotions), credentializing in the code, pulling the code/impl back on a viable course, dealing with UI bikeshedding, etc. are far more work than just doing it yourself. And if it's not something you think is worth that effort, then it's definitely not something you want to just outsource to "the community". And after all that, you aren't even guaranteed a UI that's better than what you replaced.

Silicon Valley isn't really a place. Plenty of people come here for a "tour", but there isn't actually a single place in the bay area you can visit to see Silicon Valley in action.

(Before Covid) It just has a high density of three groups of people that you need for a startup ecosystem. Founders, Students, and Investors. It's actually the high density network of people interested in the same thing.

YC's geographic location is a proxy for this high density network. This high density network was a necessary, but not sufficient condition for YC's success today at the time the decision was made. The post is about what else PG and Jessica added on top of the necessary conditions.

Just as you can't pull a startup out of a market that doesn't want it, you can't pull an accelerator out of a city that doesn't have the network for it.

"Technology sucks" in my eyes just means there is a mismatch between expectations and reality.

People expect their technology to solve their problems. But often their problems have nothing to do with their technology, and anything to do with outside aspects like how they use it.

E.g. during Corona one boss at a institution I know bought a incredibly expensive Video conferencing "thing" and expected it to run incredibly smooth, which it didn't, because he neither was willing to invest into the buildings bandwidth/latency nor did he make sure the people on the other side also had that bandwidth/latency as well.

People like to believe into technology, like they would believe into gods or magic words: they don't want to understand how it fits into the world they are part of: they just want it to make their problems go away.

Right, but when I'm filling out an insurance form, I'm usually not in my car, so the settings screen in the car is even less useful than the app. The website does totally work, but then again that also requires an Internet connection so...

Again, there are ways to deal with this stuff, but my point is just that the app is helpful in more ways than just remote control of the car.
Many people don't do both though, when they have masks they do this:

So... Yes, definitely I would say that they are very different societies. This, most probably, saved Swedden several deaths.

This is an electronic version of a "bring forward" filing system that has been around for many decades. An older friend of mine showed me his "bring forward" file: it has a file for each month and also a file for each of the coming four weeks (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 because some months have five weeks).

He just puts things - like bills, for instance - in the appropriate folder depending on when they're due. And then once a week or month has passed, it gets rotated to the back of the box. It's a great approach; a digital version would replicate the same concept and would be particularly useful if it incorporated the notion of attached documents such as invoices.

The app clearly does cache a ton of information locally already. The "must call out to the network" thing is pretty clearly just to simplify the design of the app so they don't have to worry about conditions where the app hasn't authenticated itself and grabbed the latest information from Tesla.

It's still early to talk about recovery while the pandemic is ongoing. And even if the virus were extinguished tomorrow, much of the initial damage from the pandemic's first surge is still working its way through the economy (e.g., foreclosures).

This is always presented as the doomsday scenario, but how often does it actually happen?

The story of Apple in the Tim Cook era is unrelenting annual releases, more and more "subscriptions", massive return of cash to AAPL shareholders, but decreasing product quality. Did Apple make that tradeoff because they were scared of going out of business? No, they were doing very well before Cook took over. Cook simply has lower standards than Jobs, there's no other reason. He's been great for investors, not so great for customers.

It was absolutely not intended as a statement about all such people. The surprise is about any such people.
> I chose the most literal definition because it's complicated.

That's not the most literal definition, and it's not complicated once you know what it is. Open source[1] is a term coined by people decades ago to refer to something very specific, not "source code can be seen". There are specific licenses that are considered open source, and others that are not. Open source specifically requires a license that allows certain capabilities.

You can read more about this at https://opensource.org/. There's been some misunderstanding over the years where people (including me) have misapplied the term to mean you can access the source, but that's not really what it means, so we shouldn't dilute its meaning by allowing that.

> Debian calls it "free software,"

Free software is also a term used to refer to open source.[2]

I understand it can feel pedantic to have this terminology so strongly enforced, but the reason people do so is because there have been efforts by commercial entities to co-opt the term for their own version of software and software as a service which does not conform to what open source stands for, and ride on the coattails of the movement and good disposition towards open source. Your first comment actually seemed to be trying to bring awareness about this. What you can say as a shorthand going forward if you want is that "releasing the source does not mean it's open source, which if it was would mean you had a protected right to actually build and run the software in question". That's both more correct, leads people to more information about the actual issue in question, and lets you offload some of the more complex explaining to the site made for it.
