I actually don't use the pi-hole on my device because I don't run ad supported apps and I use FireFox with uBlock Origin to browse. It's mostly to keep my 4yo for getting blasted with app ads, he doesn't browse. So it's great for that purpose but note that it doesn't work on YouTube ads, they do something that makes it impossible (without also blocking YouTube).

I know you can add exceptions through the admin page but it's a bit tedious. If I did use it on my own devices, I would never add exceptions. In fact, if a site like that comes up too much in my general browsing, and I find myself accidentally visiting it, I add them to a custom plugin I have that removes links to them from any page. For example, I never see links to facebook, instagram, twitter, linkedin, forbes, wsj. Anything popular with a pay, sign-up, or anti-adblocker wall. I've done it for years now and I don't miss any of the sites I've added.

How big was the studio compared to Blizzard? Blizzard is an Activision strategic asset, their name is on the door, etc. It stands to reason the relationship might be quite different compared even to something like 'important studio that does important releases of an important franchise'.

Tesla sues Trump Administration to end tariffs on the ‘brain’ of its vehicles

There's a lot of money in the medical industry (private or public) but it seems that everywhere and everyone is constantly getting their budget slashed. Yet the amount of money that's poured into this industry keeps balooning!

I have this rule that any organization that treats software as a cost center will systematically get bad software AND overpay for it. Because by under-funding (with compensation, tittle and power in the organization) engineering they end-up pushing talent elsewhere, mostly to organizations where tech is considered a profit center.

Software, it seems, is treated as a cost center by the medical industry and by a lot of research labs (things like not granting authorship to software contributors).

The tone of the article is rather typical of the medical industry. Very condescending to say the least.
Having electric vehicles moves power production and emissions as a result elsewhere. That said it decreases the amount of emissions elsewhere since it uses cleaner energy. You still keep creating more parks and building forests/sustaining them. This is all part of a multi-pronged assault on climate change. You are creating a false option - such that it is only this or that.

"What a fool belieeeeves..."
What do you mean “why isn’t speech codified at the same level”? You mean, why haven’t legislators made a law that protects free speech against discrimination by employers and businesses, in the same way the Civil Rights Act does for religion?

I mean, what other answer is there than what’s implied by that very question: it’s because “legislators haven’t made a law”.

Now you can believe all you want that there’s been a centuries-old conspiracy by legislators to not ever draw up and approve this kind of law. But maybe you should consider that the other things mentioned in the 1st amendment, such as freedom of press, lobbying, and assembly, also aren’t “codified at the same level” as religious protections. And maybe you’ll realize that there are obvious differences in how religion is perceived to be different than the 4 other things protected by the 1A.
High latency connections are a fact of life. If Emacs Tramp, for which development was started in 1998, when high latency connection were a lot more common, still has issues with high latency connections, that's not a glowing reference for its architecture.

They may or may not. A victim of child pornography can argue that Apple is liable because they provide a secure platform to distribute the images. Or maybe a victim of a crime might sue because Apple refused to help. Section 230 prevented those types of lawsuits. Without it, who knows?
Hard to not view this as dead on arrival. The House won't take up any major legislation emanating from the White House/DOJ in an election year, especially given Barr's corruption as AG.
First of all, you're looking for the word 'equivalent', not corollary. Secondly, a talented lawyer could make a convincing legal argument for anything. The holocaust was legal. So really, the morality of the act is everything. Sure in practice, children are supposed to be held for 72 hours, but in reality it can be much longer. I'm not sure if I'm addressing your claims because you're using a bunch of big words, and I'm not sure if you're trying to say what they actually mean, so thats what I got.
> There is an underlying connection between Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Software

Freedom of speech includes the freedom to call for your boss to quit, for any reason at all.

> If we can't talk about and rationally discuss ideas and accept people with different moral compasses than our own, then we're in real trouble.

There is little possibility to "rationally discuss ideas" between an employer and an employee. The employer can pretty much ruin the employee's life at will, but even with so many people against Brendan Eich, he seems to be doing pretty well for himself! I'd hardly say that's "oppression by one's community".

>my objection to far-reaching, unilateral executive action, without any input from the legislature, still stands.

You clearly don't understand CARB. It has far reaching power since its inception in 1976 via legislative statute. This is no different than the power bestowed to the FTC or FCC at the federal level.
If I'm remembering right, if you do have one of those acting as a hub, it should work fine in that capacity on a local network with no internet. This lets you have fully local automation triggers, among other things.
They used local not general.
The 1st amendment may only protect us from the government, but there is nothing stopping us from taking away immunity from "platforms" that are actually acting as publishers.

If a platform wants the liability protections for being a platform, then we can force them to not act like a publisher, or we can take away those platform protections.

From the Model 3 manual:

CAUTION: Always carry your key card with you in your purse or wallet to use as a backup in case your authenticated phone has a dead battery, or is lost or stolen.

Again, sure maybe people will NOT do this, but you cannot blame Tesla for this. Services fail all the time. The phone as a key is just a convenience. This same silly FUD went around earlier this year as well. Nobody got locked out of their car by a failure of Tesla. They locked themselves out of their own cars.
Why should Apple port Swift to Windows if it’s not going to use it? To me that sounds like the worst use of resources possible.
Well, I use tabs and not every website looks best at the same size. So I don't think the approach works. (FWIW, I'm also a non-full-screen user).

But you're probably on to something. I would be cool if the web browser would allow you to adjust the body size of the document without adjusting the window size.

I had the same issue with sleep apnea, which also affects your memory and ability to concentrate. Because I was already operating at an extremely high level, I went from one of the top of my field to above average -- but still quite good, so on the surface, when I tried to get jaw surgery for correcting my small airway, people looked at me like I was crazy. I ended up getting it anyways, and now I feel my health recovering to the point where it was at before. Skeptics are even noticing the difference, too.
The FUD and what-about-ism is pretty thick on this page.

Not only does wikipedia need to concern itself with highly established user flows ("sure it's not perfect but at this point I'm used to it" * millions of users), but I think a project like Wikipedia is A Genuinely Important Thing and therefore can't afford to fuck around with UI "experiments" like Reddit does and like Digg catastrophically tried. Trying to both provide a free online encyclopedia of Pretty Much Everything We Know and make it available to as many humans as possible, while also doing UI experiments on those users, seems too ambitious. Let reddit and facebook and google turn their users into lab rats. In ten years Wikipedia can take one or two actually useful bits of information generated from those experiments and implement them, as they're doing here.

Great way to continously alienate myself. I expect a great amount of eyerolls, and if anyone in my peer group even remembers the name Assange, I assume I can be remembered as some rapist supporter.

One can run the numbers. Average car drives 12500 miles a year. Is ~35 miles a day. EV's get 3-4 miles a kwh. So what? consume ~12 kwh/day.

That's not much. $2 worth of electricity. And $3-4,000 worth of solar panels will produce that much a day. Compare that to the car that costs ten times as much.
Well placed typo. California's laws are indeed unexploded ordinance.
> The way to do that is simple: we should consider whether we would be content to live the lives that the least fortunate in our society actually live.

I like this framing a lot. It's sort of the aggregate societal-level Golden Rule. Would you be willing to play "Real-Life the MMO" if you didn't know which character you'd be dropped into?

However, there is an interesting wrinkle you can apply to it that I think explains many of the moral differences along the progressive-conservative spectrum that I see in the US today. Consider:

* Would you be content to live the life that the least fortunate in our society lives?

* Would you be content to live the life that the least fortunate in our society lives including the personal choices they have made?

In other words, how much are you willing to chalk up misfortune to personal responsibility versus random unfair vagaries of life? Would you still be willing to play "Real-Life the MMO" if you might be dropped into a level 20 character with an already established history and had to take their life from there?

The conservative American perspective stated hyperbolically is that all bad outcomes are a result of poor choices. Many even seem to imply a just-world hypothesis that random events like disease are the universe magically punishing people for moral failings. The equivalent hyperbolic progressive view is that no one ever deserves any bad outcome and that misery is always a result of systemic factors outside of the individual's control.

Somewhere in the middle is probably closer to the truth.
You're right, I'm making the assumption that the law isn't completely nonsense and banning any form of moderation whatsoever.

> Like it or not, Republicans are the "conservative" party and around 95% of them support Trump and the vast majority of them consider themselves to be conservatives.

I apologize but I may be missing your point.

In the GP, I was suggesting that the term "conservative" is being used in competing ways by different groups, and we should be clear on that.

Are you saying that it's not worth making such a distinction, because the vast, vast majority of the public use the term "conservative" to mean "whatever the Republican party's platform is"?
> the nanny state

That doesn't make much sense in this context - the "nanny state" refers to the government taking care of your physical needs, like a nanny. But even if you sweep all government regulation under the blanket of "the nanny state", that's still not what's being proposed here: what they're proposing is removing protections previously afforded by the government because they've been abusing them for so long. In essence, all that's being proposed is that everybody plays by the same set of rules.
It isn't the city's job to de-risk every private transaction. Why is it unreasonable for you to pay for your own study, but reasonable to expect me to pay for it. Numerous alternatives also exist, such as asking the neighbors, checking next-door, or moving out.

It’s evolved over time. The basis was content which was deemed to “deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences". The next step was to remove protection status only for speech which is “patently offensive" and "utterly without redeeming social value".

Unsurprisingly, this is pretty horrifying for anyone who cares about either the 1st or 4th amendments (and the 5th amendment considerations of 'you can't blind yourself to bad content stuff', that's amazingly bad). It blows my mind this isn't a separations of powers concern to even allow these people to draft language or make any statements on the record of what they think the law ought to be.
Lots of VC in AI and data [pdf]
Many on this forum probably work for AI or data companies, maybe even as founders or CEOs or CTOs or all of the above.

On the heels of Snowflake & Sumo's wild IPOs, figured I'd post this link. It shows quantitative info on VCs' investment trends throughout my categorization of the AI & DataTech market. The report was before those IPOs, but I expect plenty more to come as a result.

The housing problem is because of _over_ control. Anyone with a hint of economics teaching could tell you that. There are very strict zoning laws everywhere in the bay area that prevent the building of massive apartment complexes and restricts everything to 3-4 stories at best. This causes massive housing undersupply causing the prices to rocket upwards. San Francisco is especially bad with their government's constant effort to pour amber over all of their "historical" districts full of decrepit falling apart housing that need to be bulldozed and have sky scrapers installed in their place.

If you add rent control to try to lower the prices all you will cause is a massive increase in the price of any non-rentcontrolled housing (such as houses). If you think 1.5M dollar houses is expensive, wait till you see 3-4M houses.
No worries. You just let the reaction run hot enough that it melts down the lattice. When it cools, you'll have a new crop of active lattice points. (I'm kidding... I think.)
I recall reports of people dumpster diving for the tickets. They were bagged separate from the foodstuffs which made dumpster diving fairly effective. One 50 gallon trashbag full of tickets was probably enough to get some of the higher end electronics stuff. That was not cheap. Though tickets were an expensive way to buy electronics vs cash at an electronics store.
> FWIW, I think that the ban is a pipe dream. Come 2030, they will push it back to 2045. I honestly think the best approach is to limit the number of roads that are built. No more adding lanes to 12-16 lane highways that seem to be gridlocked from 6am until midnight anyway. Instead, force people to seek out alternatives to driving because more cars literally can't fit on the road.

If the current impacts of climate change on California continue for the next 5 years, I expect the ban will be moved forward not delayed. Having to spend weeks at a time indoors looking out at a muted orange sky with no sun has had a sobering effect on most vocal climate change deniers. Considering this issue has been getting increasingly worse over the past 10 years, I suspect voter support for climate action will increase.

I do agree about limiting the size of roads though.

The argument is always made that the First Amendment doesn't protect speech hosted on corporate servers. I don't agree, I believe if you're operating without individual content review, you're hosting speech in the same way a telephone company is, but sure, I'll let you have it..

Regardless, that's where Article 19 of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights comes in.
