> or terrorim radicalization of the 2000s.

I think this is interesting in context of "moral panic" - in that this actually happened, just not the way (I think) you mean. The misinformation surrounding the events of the first decade of this century has radicalized Westerners - made the western societies a couple orders of magnitude more afraid of terrorism than it's warranted. And this had political implications.
Becoming an activist is also a path for making things worse for yourself or for those you care about, I'd like to avoid that.

Well, the original lawmakers agree. They set a 14 year maximum. In other words: They acknowledged the necessity of copyright but they think it should only be temporary and not exist.

The problem is that it is too damn long nowadays.

Why Read Boethius Today?
> sans-serif stands for Arial or Helvetica by default

Not really, I think it just means "sans serif". On iOS and Android, it will fallback to the default system font fine.

On Windows (and maybe MacOS, but I never use it), it will likely fallback to Arial because that's most of browsers default to [1], which is one layer before the system one.

[1]: https://i.imgur.com/bmVRwg0.png

However, users can always change this default font in browser setting [1] to whatever they want.

And I think this is a superior approach (just use "sans serif") than typical "system font stack" because

1) Users not necessarily want the same font for system UI and web page. I knew I don't because Segoe UI is too bulky. Anyway, If they do, they can always just set so in their browsers.

2) it's not hard-coded. What if an Android user changed their system front from Roboto to something else? Now whole premise "consistent look and feel" breaks down by having the hard-coded "Roboto" in your website's CSS.

3) The users still get the consistent look across all the websites that use such rule. And even better, they can control what exactly (back to point 1).

Insta, Snap and Tiktok (and in some ways Twitter) are all slowly converging on being almost the same identical product, FB isn't the only one cloning features.

Feels really there is a lack of true creativity and innovation across the board and they're more being driven by feature FOMO than anything else at this point.

Also it's probably not built to last - otherwise it would cost a fortune(not that the $3k+ isn't already a lot, but the closest thing to this that I can think of - a dental chair - usually starts at twice the price).
Yes, for secrets storage it either needs to be e2e encrypted, or self-hosted. E2e partly to protect against internal employee theft, and partly to protect against Doppler’s db getting pwned by malicious hackers, as is so common these days. Storing secrets in the cloud unencrypted is kinda crazy these days.
Most were arrested after a riot had been declared and folks were ordered to leave. Arresting them was not illegal and they were breaking the law.
However, 2 points: as most district attorneys showed, people who were just there and didn't do anything were not prosecuted and so shouldn't really have been arrested. Secondly the declarations of a riot could be wrong, but at the time being in a riot was a crime.

But let's ignore all that for a moment.

Propaganda.

'innocent people being snatched off the streets..' (...in unmarked vans)

Implies that the feds and local police are routinely illegally kidnapping peaceful protestors across the country.

The truth is that this happened in one street in one city on one night only to less than a handful of protesters, still prortesting once a riot had been declared by uniformed feds in one unmarked van at the same time as uniformed feds in marked vans were doing the same thing a few yards away.

That leads me to think that this small event has been turned into a propaganda story..it's a classic example.

in groups think the out group believes propaganda and that we in the ingroup are immune to it. Don't believe the hype.

> None of those companies ever came near the global reach of FB. A quick Google search gives a peak user count of MySpace of between 75 and 100 million, for FB it's 2.7 billion.

None of those browsers ever came near the global reach of IE. A quick Yahoo search gives a peak user count of Netscape of around 80 million, for IE it's around 800 million.

Not that I believe for one second Facebook has 2.7 billion active individual human users. I've never even used it but I've signed up to about 10 accounts over the years, and everybody I know also has multiple accounts for various reasons.

In fact based just on people I know, I wouldn't be surprised if already most people are just using "Facebook" for messenger.

Time magazine once bragged on its cover how the US helped Yeltsin win the election: https://off-guardian.org/2018/02/19/yanks-to-the-rescue-time...

He was essentially Russia's Trump although a) probably a lot more in America's pocket than vice versa and b) it's difficult to overstate how much Russia suffered under him. They suffered enormously in the 90s - quality of life and life expectancies declined enormously.

Now, if you imagine an alcoholic Trump who has wreaked massive havoc on the economy, driving Americans into poverty going on a state visit to Russia and fawning over, for example, a caviar tasting... how would you interpret that?

You repeated what I already read in the article and didn't answer any of my questions. Harvard won a similar lawsuit and the government has ruled before that race can be considered to eliminate discrimination. So both the issue and the law are more nuanced than you are making them out to be. How about answering my questions or getting into enough detail and nuance that it would move the conversation forward?

The Facebook Reality Lab is on brink of consumer AR hardware. Q1 has functional "passthrough" mode with 3D content superimposed. Browsing internet with just hand tracking and the camera feed in background is decent AR experience already. Meanwhile FB is actively researching efficient text entry methods based on hand pinching and gestures [1].

I agree that this generation is not comfortable for prolonged use. FB has a prototype of AR sunglasses with monochromatic screens [2]. They've teamed up with Luxxotica to produce AR sunglasses for 2021 [3].

They have team of people wearing experimental AR headsets walking around public spaces, gathering data and working around legal issues [4]. It all seems to be building towards converging point of widespread AR availability that I would say is 2 to 5 years in future.

Nothing stops you from loading all of those graphs in the initial HTML payload if you want to, and then displaying them without a round trip to the server. These things are not exclusive, you don’t need to go all-in with a client-side framework to achieve basic interactivity (like tabs).

> Xcode, you either need it and can't switch to a non-Mac, or you don't need it. What's the argument here?

The argument is don't giving in to a company that refuses to provide tooling across platforms.

It's like we had to install Windows to test our websites in Explorer. And at least Windows you could install on your own hardware.
And let's not forget religion, which has much larger influence on rural populations than it has on urban ones.

As an example, in Poland, it's widely observed that rural regions are much more supportive of the current ruling party than the urban ones; this is attributed in part to the good relationship between our ruling party and the Catholic Church in Poland.
If it's Russia we're talking about, law enforcement are just taking care of the competition.
- Argue against your position: similar to "reductio ad absurdum". It often is easier to argue against a position and demonstrate the invalidity of these arguments, than it is to argue for a position directly.

- Write down your thought process, let people submit pull requests for bug fixes or improvements. In other words: share your reasoning process and let others poke holes in it or run with it. The resulting conversation will be a draft for the next iteration. I often share something like a "Here is what I think, and here's why I think it's true". Conclusion and premises. The questions and remarks can shatter a premise, or shed light on an assumption and my whole argument can crumble, but I want that. Imagine if people building bridges relied on "gut feeling" and forewent testing. Testing is the willingness to see what you built be destroyed in a controlled environment so it doesn't in normal operations. Testing code, testing rationale, testing a bridge, testing an electronics design, etc.

One accelerant of this is the following: Imagine you won't be available for two weeks starting tomorrow, what would you want your team to know that you consider most important. Write those bullet points, expand on them, share them. What would hinder the team's progress if you didn't communicate it?

Writing things down also allows you to diff what you think, which is not obvious if it's continuous. Going back to what you wrote three months ago is humbling, as you may have learned new things.

One of my routines is going over our backlog and asking: "What was true a week ago that is not anymore?". We document the rationale in our issues so we clearly see what really isn't true.

For example: we're doing X because Y. Y can be the fact that a third party library or another part of our system simply cannot do Z (reference the issue and the conversation, not just "I think it can't do Z"). A week later, Y could change and X is now possible.

If we don't do this, we'd have to carry it in our heads with a gazillion other parameters or, worse, continue thinking Y.

One other advantage of this is that teammates can look at something, and decide or act by themselves because the reason we did not do that isn't because Jugurtha said so, but it's because Jugurtha thought so based on X, Y, Z that are documented, and are not true anymore. I can't count the number of times a teammate ran with something because they clearly saw an opening, because the thought process was documented, and could act on their own...
> There's no time pressure on AMD, they're comfortably in the lead.

Intel thought this way, and that's why AMD are where they are now.

And Microsoft to a lesser extent.

Sitting on huge piles of cash helps though.
This a very interesting take on the subject and I share the sentiment of your last paragraph, it's a pity if it comes to that.

FPGAs are such a useful tool for a variety of engineering (and product) problems that fall in-between general computing and ASICs, unfortunately these problems are usually so disparate in nature that you can't target them as a single market. So the datacenter / HLS game will keep going until either a viable solution for the programming model is found or until everyone gives up on it once and for all and decides that FPGAs should go back to their niche (which is fine by me)
How the digital surge will reshape finance
After 15 years of the Mac as my primary client OS, I am (very) slowly transitioning to Ubuntu:

* Quality control has gone completely downhill. Catalina is completely unusable and the last two security updates for Mojave cause constant OS panics

* Apple’s push to switch developers to subscription pricing is unconscionable

* So are their antitrust abuses

* the price-gouging on the Mac Pro has gotten completely out of hand. I’ve owned a PowerMac G5, Nehalem Mac Pro and 2013 Round Mac Pro, but I draw the line at the new one.

I love OpenBSD, sadly it is not usable as a full-time desktop/laptop for me:

* No modern WiFi support beyond 802.11n

* No Docker

I haven’t bought a Mac since 2015.
If you bother to read it, the conclusion contradicts what's expected .

Faith in government only declines if they are corrupt.

"The 3G expansion decreases government approval if there is at least some corruption. In few noncorrupt countries, the effect of 3G on government approval is actually positive."

So the internet is good for democracy even at the maxima?

Also censorship works well "Government approval falls with the expansion of 3G only when there is no internet censorship."

Neither I believe to be true. Censorship allows management of the population and will work, but it's hard, there should be some drop.

Anyway for corrupt governments without censorship I agree with the document and Starlink will sort it all out soon and bring in a few revolutions

I don't know about this particular case but I am willing to concede the point - I certainly know that criminals exist and that catching them is good.
I think that if people are upset their name is up on a list clearly meant to shame them for being stupid, then contacting the author to say "ok I understand now, can you please remove us from that list" will definitely get them removed.

But I suspect if someone is the kind of person to email a tool author because of what an unrelated tool user is doing, they're probably going to be quite chuffed there's a tangible outcome they can point at and say "see, I fixed the issue"

These things does not work due to the government but despite the government.
Somehow more forces in all the places he said he would withdraw forces from than the beginning of his term = withdrawal of forces?

The only genuine force withdrawal he did was in Syria, which will damage the US dramatically going forward because they completely abandoned their allies because Erdogan was able to sweet talk Donald Teump.

And the “peace deals” are a joke because they were signed between Israel and countries that were never hostile towards each other in the first place. UAE and Bahrain? It was simply Trump paying UAE/Bahrain your tax dollars for them to formally announce something that has always been the case, and Bibi doing the same so that Trump could continue to allow him to annex Palestinian land in peace to satisfy the most orthodox people in his country who are keeping him in power and saving him from prosecution.

And yeah, supplying arms to the Saudis so they can continue slaughtering the Yemenis and unilaterally breaking a peace deal so Iranians can die in massive numbers are not starting a war, but is causing civilian death tolls that are extremely high.

And sure, creating massive instability and allowing China to run free in most of Asia and Africa is also not starting a war, but is completely weakening the US and emboldening China in ways we couldn’t have imagined 5 years ago (for all his anti China talk, Trump has been remarkably weak against them, which isn’t surprising considering that until January the highlight of his tenure was gonna be a joke of a trade deal with China, and that he spent years without touching trade with China but slapping tariffs on all the US’s allies).

And of course, dismantling treaties with Russia, such as the open skies treaty for example, which was a completely one sided treaty in favor of the US and its allies only served to increase the risk of war.

And how about jumping into peace talks between S Korea and N Korea (S Korea’s new President was elected on the explicit platform of trying to restart peace discussions with N Korea) and derailing the entire process, by giving Kim exactly what he wanted...a photo op with the US president which he could promote within his own country, without getting anything in return (I guess the love letters from Kim to Donald Trump was something).

And we haven’t even gotten to the part where he and his have explicitly and implicitly supported and emboldened white supremacists in the US and Europe.

Donald Trump is best looked at as someone who never boiled the water, but definitely turned up the temperature so it’s hitting close to 190. He has taken decades of goodwill and trust, and burned it so he could claim minor victories which hurt the US massively but can be something for him to crow about.

It requires an extremely narrow way of looking at the world (at basically the PR level) to think Donald Teump is even close to being net positive for world peace.
