Something being bad doesn't have to have a material impact on you to be bad you should be against it simply because in principal it's a bad thing. Government over reach is a slippery slope and is bad therefor spying via overreach is bad. I'm not your personal savior I don't really care what you believe and I wasn't here to convince anyone of anything let alone you, I stated my personal beliefs.

Edit: I'll also leave off with where if your beliefs don't include government spying being bad you and I likely are coming from very ideologically different starting points and I have no intention of trying to spend my time walking you from A to B I'll leave that for the evangelists I have other things to fill my time.
>If it was an A500+ then it could have been a 1.5Mb upgrade

A500+ came with 1MB chipram onboard, you could get 1MB more via trapdoor, reaching the ECS Agnus 2MB maximum.

Then typically you'd get fastram (exclusive to the cpu, thus cpu can't be stalled by chipset, thus fast) via the left expansion slot.

Twitter is a closed-system and not a utility, and I guess that makes all the difference.
I’ve always wondered, is this an issue with rugby as well, and if not, why not get rid of the pads and helmets. FWIW, I see people talk about TBI but seldom see mention of other injuries, skeletal and muscular/soft tissue. Do these happen at higher rates in football too? I’ve got a messed up ankle from years of soccer, so no sport is immune. Except maybe chess :-)
You say "we forget", but the overwhelming majority never even heard of a Danger Hiphop. Which is essential, because the OP isn't writing historical reference materials, they're providing an (apt, IMHO) _analogy_ about trends and popular / common experiences.

Thus I kinda inferred the OP meant "... which device crossed the threshold into mainstream awareness". So your "glazed" dismissal seems a little harsh.

That said, I think you're right to make note of the Hiptop (TIL!), and I agree that it was the touchscreen (albeit also not truly firat of its kind either) that was a transformative experience for the masses. I'll never forget the first time I interacted with an iPhone.
Remember that it is a resume, not a biography. As the author mentioned above, it's a sales pitch for yourself. If people ask about a gap, tell them about it. No big deal and at least the resume got them to respond. If I can condense 35 years (and lots of companies) into a two page resume, it can be done by most people.
Corporate activism is cheap, but it's also fairly required at this point. Non-activism on certain subjects would be viewed in a highly negative sense which can impact recruitment and sales. There is really no alternative to corporations showing public support for certain issues.

I suppose this does devalue the activism, but I'm not really sure activism is the point. It's more about solidarity with the change, and cementing its place in "normal" society.
Yeah, definitely don't just cc your counsel, mark it and expect it do be protected. While that may contribute to the argument that it's protected neither of those are sure-fire ways to make sure the communication is actually not discoverable
No, they're just extremely confident there will be no consequences. They're doing Biden a solid here, and now he owes them.
Statistically, the one with the black driver.

All the cops I've spoken with about this (maybe a dozen) say they don't consciously or subconsciously notice a car's color, but they do notice it's behavior. A speeder will change lanes frequently and abruptly to get around traffic, panic break, and do other stuff that cops easily notice.
"Fake news" is an attempt to discredit news stories. It's fundamentally different from disallowing them to be shared.
How is it the best butt in tech also gets to be the best writer in tech?

How is this even remotely fair?
According to the landing page "If every cell on the game field was as small as a speck of dust it would take 17 billion years at the speed of light to travel the width of the board." 17 billion light years is 1.608×10^26 metres, while the size of dust specks varies but is roughly around 10^-6 metres. That's a big field.
I have found your comments on this thread very intriguing. The computational analogy applied to DNA and proteins is apt for me. Also, this strikes me as a potential resolution to the Fermi Paradox. What do you think?
Isn't 3 already basically no opinion
That might work for a 2 party call. But I was on a call this afternoon with 70 participants — which of the 70 recordings do you want to keep?

It’s a hard problem, which gets much easier and delivers a better UX if you can trust the service provider. Also consider why you trust 70 meeting participants more than Zoom/Microsoft/Google/Verizon?
I have never "run encryption myself" when connecting to my bank's web site. Have you?
I mean, we've had dysfunction and corruption for a long time as well.

I feel like we're going in circles, which I take as a personal failure, as I was hoping we would both reach some sort of a point of agreement in the middle.

Good talking to you though. Appreciate you taking the time to talk over the issue, and if we were in person I'd buy you a beer.
Much of the information being banned has been published by credible, knowledgeable doctors and scientists who are working "in the trenches".
Epidemiologists who have specialized in this area are being censored because political bodies (such as the WHO) have released contrary information, but the WHO (and others) have contradicted themselves multiple times throughout the SARS-Cov-19 pandemic.

To answer your question directly, it seems to me that objective science becomes political when an unpopular politician cites a scientific publication or opinion. Attacking the messenger then becomes important to those politically opposed, and the original scientific message gets lost in the political controversy.
I'm not sure what the analogy is between DMs and soapboxes on street corners.

In any case, I have to say censoring DMs is just too far for me to accept.

I've put in a decent amount of effort to curate my Twitter feed so that it's useful to me, but I can't keep using a service that will arbitrarily decide what private communications I'm allowed to have on their service. I guess I'm out, as much as I hate to do it.
And ironically, Google would probably cite Microsoft as a legit competitor in this antitrust case.
The cynical view would be that school is there to manufacture good workers for the future wage-labour rat race. So they aren't focused on things beyond so-called "practical" development by design.

I don't necessarily agree 100% with this view but I'm sure it has some grain of truth.
This is why I basically stopped watching Western shows (outside of the ones people absolutely rave about, and even then only a select few). Something is good, it makes money, they milk it for all its worth until it becomes awful and gets cancelled. That always left me with a bad memory of it as something I enjoyed turned to shit.

I switched over to watching shows from Asia where the format is basically only one season by default, it rarely goes to two, and there is a logical beginning, middle and end that follows a proper story arc. If the show was good when it ended then watching it remains a great memory. I've enjoyed so much stuff over the years and it's never let me down like the Western model does.
objective science, got any examples?
> Twitter (and every single commercial social media space) is not the above, and can do what it wants on its service.

Not exactly. The public has the right to have all laws applied fairly. The social media platforms have enjoyed the rights of a neutral forum without the liabilities that come with being a publisher. Yet the platforms act like a publisher, deciding what is seen or not seen, and the public directly or indirectly suffers as a result. This is a pretty clear case of actual rights being violated, despite the distracting narrative of "muh private company".
Another reply more or less had the same response I had, which is that it's entirely possible for you to start blogging about certain topics (some could be approached from a capitalism/socialism discussion starting point, even) and be shut down by AWS. I'd like to add a bit more though. Deplatforming is commonplace, by all parties with a platform, and its causes aren't just written comments but also artwork and legal commercial goods.

More than the examples the other comment noted, though, I prefer the depressing/amusing history of Gab as they stepped on just about every single centralized service rake and had it hit them in the face for things some of its user base typed. Going through its wiki history page, I'm even seeing some I missed. Here's a list: Apple (iOS app store), Google (play store), Twitter (API), Asia Registry (domain name), Microsoft (Azure), Stripe, PayPal, GoDaddy, Medium, Joyent (hosting), Backblaze, Coinbase, Square, most Mastodon instances (federation won't necessarily save you) and popular Mastodon mobile apps, Mozilla (Firefox addon), Google again (Chrome addon), Visa.

At the end of the day, yes, anyone can spin up Tor or I2P or Freenet or whatever to talk unhindered, they can participate in commerce with decentralized crypto-coins. And despite the struggles one can still find Gab/4chan/the others on the clearnet and participate in the subset of things that got them in trouble for hosting. It only takes a very moderate amount of active will, and you'll have all you want. That it's not exposed passively to people on other platforms is probably no great loss. Still I think it's worth caring a bit about these things as indicators of changes in culture and, following culture, law, even if you like me don't particularly care much if you're reduced to keeping a private journal because no one will host any of your thoughts because of a subset of your thoughts at some point in time.
As far as I can tell Internet is not a utility either in the U.S. so what's your point?
What kind of useful information can this provide? What actual use could Mozilla make from this information? Mozilla used to be about privacy and technology, but now its asking us to share with them our embarrassing habits of video watching?
> on top of songs disappearing from my playlists

It might have been the case that the song didn't disappear, but is instead hidden because it's unavailable.

At the bottom of the preferences window there's a section called "display options." In there enable "show unavailable songs in playlists."
It would be a shame if notable Democrats and any media house that hosts them, were deplatformed for their anti-vaccination views. I refer specifically to the people spreading fear and doubt about any vaccine produced under the Trump administration.

Or... as you have said, this is just another political move, another rule to be selectively enforced when the undesirables are otherwise not flagrantly breaking any platform rules.
> Now that it has done its job, we can revoke the Section 230, and return to actual free market. Where a tortious interference would be sorted out by a lawsuit.

I think you spelled, "where posters freely waive their right to sue the forum as part of their publishing contract" wrong
Perhaps you could integrate the battery into the earring part so while you're wearing one pair you can hot-swap to a fully charged pair. I like the concept though, very interesting!
You're not insane. Don't fall into the trap of thinking these people don't see the hypocrisy in what they're saying. Gaslighting and projection is all part of the alt right playbook.

We don't need to fill all of it to have some good shows, especially when those shows are already on top of the production ladder and aren't limited by funding. The top shows should be equivalently "top" in all aspects.
Great work! First person I showed your site to said "Why didn't I think of that?!", which is always a great sign.

If you can compete with or beat most other earphones for battery time, you're already set. Unless you can identify some low hanging fruit, I wouldn't invest much more time into power management because getting Apple-like power management without degrading the connection and user experience is really hard. The two work against each other unless you've got the resources to run large tests to compare changes and perturb towards a solution.

I'd recommend focusing on sourcing. The manufacturers who make cells for Apple and auto manufacturers bin their output just like other silicon fabs and only give Apple/automotive customers the best cells (selling the rest to less discerning clients making consumer electronics, ecigs, etc.). On the extreme, I've seen batches of 18650s from the same manufacturer vary from 2Ah to 3.5Ah depending on what quality of Samsung cells they got. You could probably eek out 10-30% more life that way, but it's hard to predict the final outcome during R&D.
I had a single sheet double sided plastic reference card for the 6502. Had everything needed to dig deep into the Apple ][+ / ][e computers we had at school. My most productive use of that was to hack Lode Runner to start on arbitrary levels so we could get to the higher levels of the game during lunch break. Such fun!
I used to work at one of those ATS companies, and our resume parser specifically looked for keyword stuffing like that, where people would fill the white space with keywords in white font. These get marked as keyword stuffed. Though what our clients did with those resumes I have no idea. We once had one that was about 20 pages long, just every skill you can imagine, one after another white text on white field. It actually caused a downstream issue when the parsed resume data was too big lol
> Even tackle football ( with or without equipment ) is mostly just grabbing and dragging down the qb, rb, wr, etc

You obviously have no idea what youth competitive football looks like these days. Check out Snoop Dogg's West Coast Steelers getting crushed by Fort Lauderdale's Hurricanes.[0]. BTW, these are elite level kids in middle school.

> I would call it unethical to your coworkers to create unnecessary damage to your team or your company by ignoring the appropriate process for handling sensitive internal issues.

That argument would call it unethical for a robber to tip off the police about their gang's upcoming heist.

> If things are being shoved under the rug by management, that is an entirely different issue.

If those processes were known to be effective then they would be sold based on that, not on how they keep you out of trouble.

This is getting way out of hand, across all social media.

The president's medical report got banned, probably because it was good news. It was dry, factual, scientific... and now banned as coronavirus misinformation. Evidently his health is disputed by our social media overlords. They must know more than the doctor.

Today it was a ban on posting links to the stuff leaked off Hunter Biden's hard drive. It confirms that Joe was well-involved in the Ukraine corruption. There is also a horrifying email that says in part: "We had assurances the PRC money would come first and we would build on that. Right now I don't see that happening. If they want us in Beijing once a month and pitching this outside PRC we should be getting paid in advance just like every other team member thats getting a salary."

It seems that every day something major gets banned. It's really distorting people's view of reality. Even private messages are not immune.
A) You can absolutely fact check. There's veritable tomes of VS documentation. Treat it like any other wiki page of a complex topic.

B) It was much smaller than the Paxos page. Should we go delete what exists there too?
So glad I see this sentiment on here. I am still blown away by HN readers inability to critically analyze news sources. If this was some research paper it would have been put under the microscope by HN readers.
Phones were not always considered a utility, it's a definition that can be changed by Congress and in some ways the FCC at any time.
"Twitter will ban posts that deny the Holocaust, a company spokesperson confirmed today. The news, first reported by Bloomberg, comes two days after Facebook implemented the same policy."

The Holocaust happened 75 years ago. Twitter's decision came 2 days after Facebook's.

Q.E.D.
One of them is saying “it’s not true” and one of them is saying “we should stop the public from seeing that”.
Sounds like they'll be strong to the finich.
Relying on the case law is much more expensive than relying on the US Code, since 230 allows to immediately go for the summary judgement, even if somebody still files a civil case. So the then smaller ISPs lobbied for that.

The moderation clause was historically added because at that time, the failed CDA (Communication Decency Act) was likely to pass (later partially struck down by the Supreme Court). so the COngress added it as the implementation mechanism for the CDA. When the CDA was weakened, the moderation language was still left in 230.

These latest chilling developments make me think it's better to revert to case law.
For those unfamiliar with the term "guanxi"- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanxi

They are complaining about the format of the email, but don’t seem to realize that the client is the OS X Mail app.
Most high reliability software is still waterfall. It's usually not service-delivered software since people who need high reliability software need it to run locally.

Yeah, I felt that was a bit contrived as well. Which would seem to add credibility to the taxi theory.
For many popular images, you can use a major-version tag and fetch the latest patch but avoid breaking changes.

I am irate at this news. I know ftp is not secure. Not even by a small margin. It is just like http, back when you could still trust network engineers like you could telephone companies. But it is MAD useful.

Before file sharing went mainstream, before corporate networks allowed users to upload files to random websites, before file limits went away, before storage space became infinite, ftp was open and available to all people.

I actually had a client tell me that our corporate ftp server was blocked by their firewall. It turned out that they were just too lazy to type in the password. So I crafted a link with the password built in! That was how flexible ftp was!!!

And if I ever wanted someone to share files with me, I would send them the same ftp link with username and password built in, and tell them to paste it into windows explorer. And they could share files with me.

If the client wanted to send link to someone else for download, $he could!!!

That was how amazing ftp was. Everyone supported (except iOS). It was tried and proven.

I just don’t understand this idea behind letting it go.
They have all been censored in favor of today's consensus opinion.
> What is with all these people talking as if the American right and left are just two regular sides of the same political coin without addressing the massive elephant in the room.

The (GOP) elephant in the room uses 'both sides bad, vote for the Republican' as a strategy with the more educated segment of the electorate. Except for people who criticize both parties from the hard left (well left of Bernie Sanders) and the very hard right (the few people who think Trump isn't extreme enough), 'both sides bad' talking points generally come from Republicans who aren't open about their party affiliation. It's not an honest argument--indeed it's a form of subjective disinformation in and of itself--but it's effective with a certain demographic that is over-represented in the STEM sector.

That demographic is people who behave like this

in response to mild suggestions that, just maybe, some of the benefits of the past 75 years of economic and technological progress should be shared a little more evenly.

Journalists know about metadata. You can be sure that editors of more reputable institutions absolutely require it before publishing anything.

Source I went to journalism school and worked in PR for years before I became a software developer.
It's remarkable that just weeks ago all the same actors had zero problems with illegally leaked tax returns from the other candidate. Hmm. I wonder why. Giuliani is promising to publish much more, including a photo in which Biden junior is having sex with a hooker while smoking crack. This is the same media companies that for 4 years told us that "the walls are closing in" due to the completely discredited "pee dossier".
Maybe this is an example my ignorance on the subject.

Can you point to off the shelf Paxos libraries that both have a focus on mixing strengths of consensus as a first class concept and have been used in extremely high availability circumstances?
And 40 years from now we might be removing QUIC support from whatever we have in place of web browsers.
You’re not wrong, but the definition seems to have stuck at this point (and it’s been used this way for a lot longer than 10 years, more like double that).

I think historically it comes from the fact that when someone “deprecates” their API, they usually abandon it at the same time (because it’s replaced) making the 2 actions synonymous with each other in the tech industry.
Waymo doing select trial, or perhaps even limited runs above 25mph does not prove they can operate safely at such speeds. My math might be off since I don't use the imperial system, but LIDAR is only good up to 50-100m (closer to 50 than 100).

Slamming the brakes on your vehicle to stop within the sensor distance is more dangerous (to the occupants and cars behidn you) and less effective (less likely to stop in time) the faster you're going.

Can you go significantly faster than you can safely see and stop in time? Sure. Would it still be considered safe when doing so? Hell no.
I see stuff like this as a sign a company is getting desperate.

You either have a village idiot making decisions (which I doubt) or some smuck is under huge pressure from managers to do anything for growth so will sacrifice a good experience.
