>In my opinion, a communication platform this large should be governed by the same free-speech laws we enjoy offline.

It is. The same free speech laws that allow Facebook and other platforms to exercise editorial discretion and ban unwanted content also allow newspapers, television and radio to choose what to publish and what not, allow businesses to refuse service and the posting of bills, and me to tell Jehovah's Witnesses to get lost when they show up at my door.

Your right to free speech doesn't include a right to force platforms to host that speech. It's up to the so-called marketplace of ideas to decide whether or not your speech is worth spreading, and just as vendors can choose to stock a particular product or not, platforms can choose to host particular speech or not. Even Ben Franklin recognized this[0]. As a publisher he refused to publish libelous and slanderous speech, yet recognized the right of other publishers to do so if they wished.

And yes, this implies that the marketplace of ideas can, potentially, reject a particular kind of speech and that some forms of speech may be more difficult to find a platform for than others. Free speech doesn't imply that all forms of speech must be treated equally or given equal merit, or that society cannot make distinctions between one form of speech and another, or discriminate between truth and falsehood, accepting one and rejecting the other. In a marketplace of ideas, it follows that not all ideas are equal.

If society decides to toss QAnon into the bargain bin of cultural relevance, that's perfectly valid.

Epic, I like your analogy!
So CRISPR/Cas9 Nobel was a given since their breakthrough papers in 2011/2012. Lot of folks were speculating whether it will win in Chemistry or Medicine. Maybe Zhang/Church will win it in Medicine in few years. Also given the revolutionary nature of this technology, there could be be more Nobel prizes in this area in coming years

Your point about more care during the merger is very true.

However, just because antitrust regulators think it will be ok doesn't mean they can't change their mind. If it did, then breaking up monopolies would be impossible.

Consistency in the law is critical (current US administration demonstrates this), but the economy is dynamic, and consistent principles ("no monopolies") are completely fine, and may give different results when applied to the same entities at different times.
Interesting. Netbeans had just such a plugin many (10? more?) years ago, working via XMPP that was a joy to use. Then Sun decided they wanted to sell some cloudy/server-based "collaboration" thing that was nowhere near as good, so the plugin got killed.

As I recall it not only shared editing sessions, but also (live) debugger sessions and builds.
IF this is true, it would be a massive breakthrough. Truly monumental.
Hence, I am skeptical.

But otherwise, this would be a massive thing. a 2x capacity per weight advantage of batteries? Without an increase in space? That comes down to doubling the range of EVs, and making electric planes and rockets a lot more viable.

A 3x capacity per space advantage means roughly a 3x improvement in your phone and laptop battery capacity. Or, more likely, a slight improvement in your phone and much thinner phones. On laptops, we might see the return of more ports.

A 10x speedup of charging? That makes all-day EV travel a lot easier. It makes topping off your phone something you can do a minute at a time, rather than an hour long process. It means, with wireless earphones, you can re-charge them in a minute and almost never be without them.

If even a third of what they claim here is possible, it would be amazing.

It's open source, multi platform including desktop and mobile, and I don't have to trust a third party with my passwords... I also can use whatever method I choose to sync the encrypted file amongst devices. Finally, it's free, but that's the least important reason.
And this is hardly the only justifiable reason for allowing <style>. A couple of other examples that occur to me are platforms allowing full user-generated and -styled pages, and validation tools.

Remember with this that each application can choose what it wants to allow or deny. It would be very harmful for DOMPurify to not allow certain sorts of tags just because you can’t immediately think up a reason why you might want to use it.
> That’s not Logo, that’s the teaching.

No, it's logo, because we were taught in exactly the manner you describe, to the letter. In fact I might have enjoyed it more if there were more structure.

I hated art class as a kid, and turning computer lab into art class was not something I was ready for back then. At the time I was laser focused on wanting to learn to program, and I saw logo as something different than programming.

You're using this as a weird segway to rant about authoritarians, but you're also telling me that there's a single way to teach kids programming that everyone needs to adhere to, and anyone who doesn't like it was taught wrong. Seems a bit tone deaf.

If you don't remember something then your brain can't do pattern matching based on that information. And pattern matching is the basis of any thinking process. So, yes, Google won't help you with that.

But, you can retrieve and memorize just patterns from the information and forget the details. This is my way of thinking, I believe. Still far from optimal, because you can miss important patterns before forgetting the details.
More like: "Getting noticed if being doxed and then shuffled into a mediocre job are your thing"

The article is clearly marketing. Advice #1 is effectively just saying "don't suck". Obviously you should be producing good, useful, readable, and maintained code. That's not the path to getting noticed, but more like a prerequisite for not getting fired.

The problem of IE wasn't stagnation, it was the proprietary "features" it was implementing instead of following standards.

Chrome becoming the "new IE" doesn't mean becoming "bad", it means becoming closed and uncooperative. It means pushing it's own weirs APIs on the web while simultaneously refusing to implement other vendors' ideas. And that is exactly what Chrome has been doing for years.

All of the 3 points you mentioned are exactly reasons why Google has been so successful at taking over the web and will continue to be in the future.

- They know how IE died, so they've embraced the openness just enough to avoid any kind of backlash regarding new features,

- the automatic updates mean web developers can jump on new features immediately without having to wait for them to propagate, giving other vendors basically no time to catch up, and

- the fact that Google's websites account for a gigantic percentage of the web traffic and are unavoidable for most people, means that even if web developers want to wait for broader support of new features, Google's own websites can implement them immediately and force their users (==almost everyone) to Chrome.
“After the project she said it was 'not her thing'. This summer she was coding web-UI with Java+IntelliJ in my work as a summer trainee, and now she said she enjoyed it.”

Her first instinct was not wrong. I’ve been coding 20 years now (self-taught automator who turned pro after the first 10), and though I absolutely love what programming enables me to do I still despise the amount of hostility and crapwork that “popular” modern programming platforms put me through in order to do it.

I hope your daughter goes on to achieve whatever she wants to achieve, and if that should be programming I hope she never forgets that early distaste, because that is the only thing that will drive substantive improvement in a culture and industry grown fat and complacent on the sorry status quo.

In Norway we have ASKO Professional. They are built for commercial use.
In Norway they can be bought at the big consumer electronics shops.
I plan to buy their cheapest commercial dishwasher DWCBI231.W during Black Friday in November. They also have the industrial DWCFS5936.S

I am very pleased with their washing machine WMC743PS.
It has shock absorbers. The drain pump makes the most noise. This machine is not afraid of unstable loads such a single wool sweater. It is fascinating to look at the door getting tossed around while the the rest of the machine is stable.
In most consumer machines this heavy wool sweater would come out soaking wet as the safety features of the control board would stop the machine.
Check out the door seal on ASKO compared to normal washing machines. It is very hygienic unlike the common deep rubber seal that will get moldy over time.
I managed to get it for ~1700 USD.

The ASKO Professional vented tumble dryer does not reverse the spin direction, so I got the Miele T 8302 vented tumble dryer instead. I toss the exhaust hose out a window, temporarily. It had to be vented, non-negotiable :)

Miele Professional was too expensive.

> "sour orange" (is that the same as blood orange?).

Not. Sour orange is Citrus x aurantium whereas blood oranges are a type of cultivars of the common orange Citrus x sinensis sharing a red mutation. Both are hybrids but have different ancestors.

Sour is inedible in fresh and must be processed, whereas the blood group are small but deliciously acid.
True, but probably not billions in near-poverty as software engineers. The world standard for software engineers is probably an ok life.

The second sentence is wrong: there's nothing wrong with nested block elements, but you never nest block elements inside inline elements. For example <div> elements are block-level and they are nested all the time. There are some exceptions though such as your example of an <ul> in a <p>. The <p> tag only permits "phrasing content" within itself, and <ul> isn't considered phrasing content.

Not adding anything to the discussion,but when you click on the cookie policy it redirects to a 404. Then what I am accepting to in "Accept cookie policy" ?
Why? It specifically exists to make things dependent on the font, and sizing text columns based on the size of the body text, and have other elements follow that, also makes sense.
You're all wrong. Wrong, I say!

I once wore a baseball hat for a month, day in, day out, sleep, etc. However first, I ripped out the liner, and placed tinfoil inside, replacing the liner afterwards.

I wanted to empirically test -- to see, would I behave differently? Think differently? So I also kept a journal.

Problem was, did I EVER SWEAT! And this was in the winter too.

The solution? A hat which is not directly in contact with the head! And has space under it to breath. Like this hard-hat!

Clearly, this kid knows the truth, knows the forces aligned against us all, and this hardhat, in this pic, is his message to us all.

Beware. Beware of them, of those, placing thoughts in our minds!
The problem is most libraries/frameworks also has just outputting option and those are valid for a lot of use case (system generated id and such). I guess one option is never allowing any call to that even if you know it's valid.

The trouble comes is in an existing code base if you know 95% of those use are valid but to pass the check you know have to migrate that all and do QA.

It depends a lot on the library I guess, does it make it easier to do the right thing or not.
Although “pomelo” in Spanish translates (typically) to “grapefruit”, “pomelo” in English refers to another fruit, that is like a grapefruit.

Turns out English is surprisingly rich when it comes to describing citrus. The citrus family hybridizes very easily, so every planted seed will give you a “new species” with a unique cultivar. English appears to have assigned more unique names to citrus than the other two languages I know (Italian and Spanish)
> Should smart people deliberately not be good parents so that social justice can prevail in a world full of not-so-smart people?

> Should not-so-smart people just not have children so society can be smarter as a whole?

Perhaps smart people could spend some of their hard-earned money and prestige to ensure the whole society, not just their offspring, has more opportunities and access to good education? However, as you can see, that does not align with meritocratic ideals as they are currently being applied.
At least a choice exists here. For an external port on a laptop, degraded performance is better than a disabled/unusable port, or a hacked computer. And for an internal PCI-E device, it can be turned off if risk is acceptable.

FWIW, I don't think "sour orange" referred to blood orange. I believe it refers to Bitter Orange/Seville Orange: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_orange

I think blood oranges are sweet.
Most people don't get this obvious fact. Blocking low paid neurosurgeons from coming into your country, never translates to allowing barbers to operate on your head.

It probably means you either go into a wait queue to get your operation done, or you fly to a different country where those doctors are present. Either way the operation will be more expensive, and your country will have less know-how at the end. You also have to now deal with the consequences of having awesome things getting done outside your country, which means the next generation of neurosurgeons won't be coming out of your country. At least not all of them.

Now Google or any other company isn't going lower the bar for hiring, they'll just happily open offices outside US to get the cream of the those countries. The fact that it could hurt your feelings is just irrelevant here.

Its very much like getting hired to Navy SEALs or some into some other elite unit. They have their criteria, they really don't mind rejecting you if you don't measure up.
"All the profit is from monopolies"

Monopoly is the ultimate goal of every for profit company and if they achieve it through fair market competition then there is nothing illegal to worry about.

As far as I know every Big Tech company achieved dominant market position through fair market competition.

Facebook could've purchased Instagram and shut it down but it didn't. Apple could've purchased Android Inc. and shut it down but it didn't.

Your post explaining economy and finance is very good btw.
I'll try to answer your comment more directly. The other responses are good, but they're not exactly responding to your comment about the parent commenter's change from agnosticism to atheism upon learning the scale of the universe.

I've had a vaguely similar experience, but over a longer period, not a single "moment", and not entirely to do with the physical sciences.

They way I look at it is this: To ants, we are gods. We can provide an unimaginable bounty to them by simply dropping the remains of a sandwich. We can destroy their entire world with callous indifference. A step in the wrong place is all it takes to crush an anthill.

But do we care about an individual ant's good behaviour? No. Not in the slightest. I don't meet out punishment on one particular worker ant because it failed to respect the queen, or move enough seeds one day.

Simply put, we are so far removed from ants, so far above them, so much greater, that there can be no meaningful interaction of this type. The UN general assembly does not give a flying fuck about the misdeeds of a particular ant in some particular ant-mound in some particular forest, in some national park, in some country far away. Conversely, an ant can have no concept of the latest UN resolution's effects on international tourism and its side-effects, such as the likelihood of an increased number of dropped sandwiches in national parks. There is no though that an ant can possibly have that can encompass even a fraction of such concepts. They're simply too abstract, too advanced for such tiny brains.

Any God that could possibly have made a Universe as vast and complex as ours would be similarly far removed from us. We would be ants to such a God. Personal, individual communication of any type would be hopeless. A "relationship", as Christians like to say, would be absurd in the extreme. Ants don't have relationships with senators, or kings, or generals. It's simply unthinkable.

Science could study such a God, if it existed, but it wouldn't be entirely clear if it would be possible to actually gain a truly meaningful understanding. A superficial, surface knowledge, perhaps, but that is all. Prayer would certainly be an utter waste of time. Holy books could not have possibly be written or inspired by such a God. Rituals would be meaningless. Rites and celebrations would also be embarrassingly pointless.

Is complicated, there are TWO "grapefruits", not one.

Pomelo and grapefruit is not exactly the same term but is used as synonym often in different languages.
I’ll definitely try this.
For instance, see http://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=1825
Forget about international, within a single country you can have identical trademarks in different areas of business [1]. That's why I think we're stuck with first-come, first-served as the only fair way to allocate shared namespaces. I'm pretty sure there was an Apple Ford on the main street in my hometown -- if they get "@apple" first on the next hot social media service, why should anybody be able to take it away from them?

Why are people upvoting this? Serious question.

An easy and proprietary deploy layer isn't anything new. Docker makes it already quite easy to deploy anything, either to a single machine with docker-compose or k8s for multiple nodes. Former isn't much harder than any "app platform", is enough for most, you aren't vendor-locked-in and hosting costs are at the lowest since it's bare-metal. You want something easier? There are already gazillions other (proprietary) options.

Maybe I missed something but I don't get what makes DO any special here.
USB 3 is a pretty plain 8b10b scheme. 10GBASE-T uses a far more complex modulation scheme which uses forward error correction, then applies a PAM-16 modulation and then packs two PAM-16 symbols into a 2D constellation of 128 symbols called DSQ128 (curiously two PAM-16 symbols would encode 256 values, but DSQ128 only contains 128).

Four pairs vs one pair already quarters the bandwidth requirements on top of that.
Yes, I think connectors are now the weakest part of an optical cable.

Singlemode's biggest weakness is alignment, optics, and a big change for a single dust particle to do a double digit decibel drop.

Either terminations will have to be done with some abuse proofing ferrule with a built-in lens, or every optical cable have to be active, with a transmitter glued to it.

The later in comparison to first, solves the issue in its entirety, and is not that much of a crazy proposition today.

Even the most fancy laser chips like EAM, and MZI modulated ones, can be made for cents if the competition will made vendors to drop prices.
I still remember the pain of this (and many other england) shoot outs.

Apparently it was team policy back then not to practice penalties. No wonder we always lost.

It wasn't until Gareth Southgate took over as england manager (who infamously had his terrible semi final penalty saved in Euro 96) that we started practicing - and guess what, we won the next penalty shoot out. Who'd have thought?
Pomelo has been my discovery of 2020 (pre-covid). They are the ideal fruit to eat while watching a movie in the evening. They are a lot of work as you need to peel through all three layers. Yet, you don't get dirty, and every now and again you get to eat a bit and it tastes like more.

Oranges and mandarins tend to get you dirty, and would still cause me to overeat.
