> ...are you suggesting that progressives have more "dirty laundry" than conservatives in general?

Yes. For one thing, if there ever collusion in 2016, it came from the Democrats now established pay-for-play policies, selling US influence to the highest bidder. Once again, knowledge of these actions required multiples hack/leaks to be disclosed.
> The tough thing is that most software products you use are actively maintained and updated. That costs them money each month, so they pass those costs to you.

Adobe managed to stay in existence and be profitable for a few decades before switching to software rentals.

What changed in the creative space that caused 'traditional' software sales to no longer be able to pay the bills? And why doesn't that also apply to, say, Capture One?
Oh, I completely agree. The projects I saw were considered novel for actually getting funding for staff engineering positions which didn't follow the regular academic track. They had to do that to get the right people since the grad students were heavily incentivized to focus on things which would get noteworthy publications and you couldn't get experienced software engineers on the academic pay scale unless you hit the unicorn of someone who was really interested in the domain and didn't like money.
I expect optional/hybrid will be more the norm. Of course this doesn't apply so much to companies that don't have urban offices, but the biggest cost issue for employees is that for those who want to live in an expensive city, extra space for an office is a big premium. They have Internet. Most companies don't have free food. etc.
>Once those laws were undermined or removed its doctrines and practices were able to be challenged

This is alt history. Religious rule in the Western World came to an end through revolution. The French revolution in particular. Religious power was ousted out of systems of governance by force, civic codes were established and that was that. In the communist world, the other large sphere that is now irreligious, force was used even more explicitly. Nothing had anything to do with peasants having a discussion about religion over a cup of coffee after blasphemy laws were lifted. Secularism as well as religion were imposed by elites and institutions, blasphemy laws were lifted afterwards.
Which publication do you think has better journalistic integrity? NY Post or NY Times?

Do you think those screenshots of emails were well vetted given the simplicity of verifying email header info if it had been published?
Not just message boards, live chat! Thousands and thousands of chat rooms, and everyone on IM, and everyone FWDing inappropriate emails around. I'm not sure how old you are or if you had AOL, but it was by far the most social internet experience I'd ever had!

Global users, of course, Twitter trumps it in count, no doubt. I only assumed US users because the post was about US politics.

Not politically correct.
From the article, I'm seeing this:

>"We have reviewed Joe Biden's official schedules from the time and no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place," it said.

>"Investigations by the press, during impeachment, and even by two Republican-led Senate committees whose work was decried as 'not legitimate' and political by a GOP colleague, have all reached the same conclusion: that Joe Biden carried out official US policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing," said Andrew Bates, a spokesman for Mr Biden.

>"Trump administration officials have attested to these facts under oath."

I'm not sure what there is to deny.
You're describing what's long been called a "confidence game".
One explanation I've recently heard for this is that, since there are now so many sources of information competing for our attention, only the most blatant and simplistic attention-grabbing music gets noticed and thus becomes popular.
Apple does some funny CPU throttling when your battery gets old. Instead of just telling you "your battery needs to be replaced", they scale down your CPU's frequency to the point where the phone becomes completely unusable. It's not great. Most people don't realize that they could get their battery replaced in a matter of minutes, at a cost of about $50. I've done it with an old iPhone, and it worked like-new again.
They're screwed unless they update. Luckily the iPhone 6 was still getting security updates as of this year. It doesn't have ios 13+ but it does have security updates on 12.

As a 6 user for another month or so, my biggest complaint isn't slowness, it's the lack of ram that causes apps to be closed readily whenever you switch, compounded by the apps having to boot/reload again.

Most of the apps I use aren't IOS apps, they're things like chrome.

This is nothing like using a 3g or a 4 until they stopped getting updates, those were downright painful to use. This is merely frustrating.

I don't know what people expect from their phones, but 5-6 years of updates and the phone still running well is incredible. I hope my next iPhone gets me another 6 years. It seems likely.

I don't know what it's like in Android land, but I expect that the number people using a phone at all for 6 years is even less than those using old iPhones. At least they had way more ram for a same era phone.
That is my arrangement and I've had it in place so long I don't even have to pay the $5, I have a free private GSuite on my own domain (yes they offered this to everyone 10+ years ago). What I realized today though while reading this story, is that my DNS account is backed by this same GMail account. What if I'm attacked and someone locks out my DNS account at the same time they take the sort of criminal actions in my account that that would get Google to shut it down? I could lose my domain and all my email forever. I think I'm moving to Fastmail.
I would not be surprised to learn that flat earth theories started as satire online, but it slowly turned into a theory for people who didn't know any better. I would also not be surprised to learn that QANON simply started out as trolling and morphed into the weird following it now has.
From what I’ve seen/read, levels inside closed offices could plausibly have a significant effect.

The good news is the global CO2 levels probably aren’t high enough to be a severe problem yet (but it might still show up in the stats); the bad news is there is enough unburdened fossil fuel in the ground to make it into a big problem.

It falls within free speech, because otherwise the institution which determines whether the speech is what you describe becomes too powerful.

The correct way to deal with this is probably twofold: to have a variety of organizations which determine what is untrue, and to somehow figure how to make them seem credible.

Those organizations should probably operate independently of the companies actually implementing their blocking algorithms, and obviously of each other.

Then we need a diverse enough set of communications channels that each can make independent determinations how they filter communications on their platform, referencing the analysis of various organizations in the first paragraph.

This would maybe make for more controlled environments while not having universal censorship of controversial ideas.
I think what he's saying is that no-one would be willing to take over as CEO unless they had two years of runway ahead of them.
I have a different theory. I think in a world of mass communication and social media there are a large number of people who feel grey, flat, anonymous, just another face in the crowd. They want to stand out. Being right isn't as important as being interesting.
Nowhere am I saying anything is justified.

Average developer quality isn’t going to be the only factor in defect rate. Development process, strategy, technology and management all play a role, and my impression is that all of the major players have had varying defect rates over different era of their development.

But indeed that’s not relevant.

But - I’m not talking about ‘Apple fans’. I’m talking about the public perception.

Apple is obviously treated differently from the other players, when it comes to media coverage.

That isn’t a justification for anything - I have in more than one place said I agree that with Gruber that Apple is wrong to do this.

However it does rebut the argument that things that don’t hurt other companies wouldn’t hurt Apple, and it may partially explain their choices.
I would rather see you work on removing US libel and slander laws, and petitioning Germany to make it legal to make nazi salutes again, which are more direct free speech issues, instead of private platforms doing what they want with their private platforms.
I like this idea. I believe we already have a mechanism for warning on container create.

The nice thing is admins can already define a default value that the eninge will use to bind to (when no address is specified on -p).
Warning can point users to that setting.
Anything out of the ordinary is eyecatching. Human (and mouse) brains are overactive in novelty, it s well established
I once got locked out of my Veeva Vault account because I couldn't remember who I put as "who was your best friend in kindergarten?" (I had like 8 best friends then!). After putting in a ticket and hearing nothing back I finally braved the phone system and called support line. The rep who unlocked my account and reset my password assigned me 4 different modules of 60-question EACH mandatory training in order to get back into my "dashboard."
I think a Tesla where the terrorist has reprogrammed the autopilot can get through the barricades at high speeds, while a human could not. (most barricades I've seen are just fast enough apart that small maintenance trucks can get between them, but close enough that humans go slow - obviously not all are)
Texas Tech Mogul Charged with $2B Tax Fraud
This sounds nice in abstract. Let's walk it two steps towards the concrete:

1) Our elected officials suppressing the voices they believe are most dangerous to our society.

2) Donald Trump shutting down The New York Times.

This seems like a move that would jumpstart the entropy snowball, not slow it down.
Kleiner Perkins People Report
The dirty secret is that no-one picks that. There's no-one turning the knobs to adjust your news feeds, just like there's no-one managing your Gmail inbox who you can turn to for help. It's all machines. Algorithms automatically amplify what's most engaging, and flame wars are more engaging than calm discussions.
I do worry a bit about noise, though.
That Internet existed, until 1996 or so. It still exists somehow, but what % of the population at any given time do you expect will be reading Wittgenstein or Braudel, or looking forward to the next Witten's preprint? 10%, 5%, 1%? The scary thing is that now he have Fields Medal winners claiming that 2+2 could be 5 only to not appear as an asshole before the digital Robespierres.
Very impressive.

Not quite as I pictured it (really not into the spacesuits, but it's easier to animate if you don't have see through helmets), but still very interesting.
Also vanity. There is something really comforting into thinking that YOU have it all figured out and know the truth and you’re smarter than everyone else around you. And if someone proves you wrong, well then you have to face the hard reality that maybe you’re not that smart. And that’s hard to accept.
Yeah I could understand that. Depending on the forum though, I seem to see people have the same conversation repeatedly, like they're just as confident as they were before. Vicious cycle if that is what's happening - that they believe what they believed harder because it didn't feel good to feel wrong.
No, I'm saying there is a balance struck between pedestrian mobility and vehicle mobility in NY. Personally I would prefer to see almost all streets in Manhattan below 110th to be shut down to vehicle traffic, but I know I would never get my way.

Even without the fear of death, a lot of people don't want to cut in front of a car and get honked at and flipped off. But if you see that it is just an empty self driving car, with no human present to get mad at you, the calculus changes as to whether you cut it off or not. And that can have cascading consequences for average vehicle speed.
Please don't quote text in code blocks. Makes it incredibly difficult for mobile users to read. Reformatted for mobile users:

> It was an ambitious project, and we feel that it has not lived up to expectations. Rather than having a public project that does not meet HashiCorp standards, we have decided to close source the project so we can rethink its design and implementation. The source code is still available for download, but Otto will no longer be actively maintained or supported.
People dont really understand how dangerous of a situation were in right now. When big tech platforms can amplify or decrease thoughts, sources, and even political candidates voices, they literally decide politics. Democracy is being challenged. We need to decide if we want kings or democratically elected representatives to be in charge of the country.
I hope it works as perfect as the picture upload in google search ;)
I haven't managed to read a book in two years now. I spend all my free time on this rectangular glass hellhole. And I seem to have given up on rational analysis and stupidly jump into the trenches to argue with people I know are incredibly wrong.

So I can at least say that I'm getting dumber.

But if I had to comment on the original article, I'd go with option B, no. 9. The internet has truly made stupidity more accessible and permanent.
Sure, but in spirit I would put the same information in both. Apple's rules on that field are just strange–when a new version of iOS goes into GM out you cannot mention it in your release notes (added support for iOS 14!), which really just makes no sense. It's presented as a place to put your update notes except it's really a strange field where you put something that is similar to your update notes but edited to comply with unwritten guidelines that Apple has created that you can only really know if you read Twitter and see what kinds of things Apple will let you put there.
That could easily be explained in other ways: fashion, reach, global market, simplicity and clarity, anti-intellectualism, LCD.
Is it the wrong side of history? Early printing is unambiguously connected with violence just as much as it is connected with intellectual freedom. Blood Libel and the associated murders of innocent jews could not have spread in the same manner without broadsheets.

"It is really complicated" is the conclusion that early modern historians of information come to.
>Twitter's "rules" would have stopped huge stories like The Pentagon Papers, Panama Papers, Watergate, etc.

Only in a universe in which Twitter is the sole means of broadcasting, publishing and communication - but we don't live in that universe, so no, they really wouldn't have.
I tried it and I haven’t been able to use it for literally anything.
AccessiBe itself is rather shady [1], so it isn't really surprising to see them on the list.

Make the telemetry opt-in to begin with.

The comment I am replying to is complaining about Ubuntu calling home, IBM OpenShift is the same story.
It isn't that the process takes two years - I'm guessing they were talking more about being a good career move for a CEO candidate:

A great CEO has many options in front of them of what to do with their career. Asking them to take on a company that doesn't have much runway limits the time they have to get in, become the new leader, and mold the organization. Therefore, it is not likely to be their best option, which means the candidates who are interested are more likely to be not-so-great CEO candidates.

GDPR, for one.
Looters and rioters were arrested by the scores. Meanwhile our sitting president insults, lies, spreads disinformation and incitement to violence and we made him president.
But not a server, right? Assuming it's based on a server-client architecture.
> But they have taken over certain institutions, like the university (and increasingly big-tech)

And the media, which is increasingly opposed to free speech.

Today we're seeing journalists talk about how other journalists should be banned from the public square by powerful corporations. They seemingly aren't bright enough to pause and wonder if this will ever be used against them. And this is being done under the banner of progressivism.

There are so many layers of irony here.
A rejection of truth doesn't necessarily imply that scientific-liberalism is bad. I don't think that the post-modernists should be held responsible for encouraging anti-scientific thinking - of course unless your version of science is that science and rationality give us absolute truths of the world.

Science can have lots of utility and not find us truth at all.

It's a fault of some post modernists for not saying this part out loud as much as they should, and maybe a small handful are the rabid radicals who reject the scientific method as not having any utility, but I don't think that the majority of left-wing post modernists are anti-science per say. I think that they want science to be more narrowly defined and to have a broader understanding of the socio-political ramification of its approaches.
Certain types of automation and testing are often built on top of accessibility features. Accessibility doesn't just mean accessible to the disabled. It also means accessible to your code.
Generally speaking, humans have always been (and will always be) irrational.

Even the most rational among us make plenty of irrational decisions or have contradictory beliefs.

We've replaced religion and witches with aliens, new age beliefs, flat Earth, reptile conspiracies, etc. I don't think it was that different a couple of centuries ago. I read in the book Supersense by the neuroscientist Robert Hood [1] that in a study that is repeated every year for the past decades, the percentage of people having irrational beliefs has remained constant. I don't remember the exact percentage but it was rather high. Something like 75%.

Personally, if I can get a YNAB4-equivalent that will work with macOS 10.15+ I'd be very happy. (YNAB4 is 32-bit only, and YNAB5 is subscription—and since I have no need for the cloud stuff I refuse to rent it; I do have a license for YNAB4.)
We, the users of Google's services, are not Google's customers, even though we think we are. The advertisers are google's customers. So when you reassess the 'relationship' this way, Google abusing users is totally fine- Google has billions of users they can treat poorly. They can't treat advertisers poorly.
>especially if cost of living is going to go down due to the bottom dropping out of the real estate market.

This sure as heck isn't happening in my market... all year long I've listened to a group of potential buyers tell me they are going to wait because the bottom is going to fall out any day now ... every piece of data I have shows that the opposite is happening - we have more buyers than physical homes here and prices have been on a steady upward trajectory for the past five years. With interest rates at historic lows, there's no reason to believe buyers aren't going to continue to acquire homes.

Now - in other markets? Maybe there will be a correction, but that's actually bound to help my market and likely others too, as people move from expensive areas to less expensive areas. SFO / LA / PDX / SEA aren't going to collapse overnight.
I don't mean they would have literally stopped the entire story from being a story, but that their own rules would have banned the posting of that news on their own platform, even from viable sources.
Yeah, AWS would be well-served to own the provider themselves. Sure, they would prefer people use CloudFormation/CDK, but they still get vendor lock-in if they support Terraform. In fact, they'd probably get even more vendor lock-in. As it stands, the Terraform provider is full of annoying bugs. It's still very usable, but if you dive deep, especially with newer AWS services, you're in for some headaches.
> I hear people (rightly) complain about this all the time.

Sure, and you can complain, but Trump has already called for Biden and even Obama to be jailed. I could see this turning into "lock him up" chants in a few days.

> Joe has denied any participation at all with his sons business dealings

Having dinner with someone doesn't imply that. If there was anything actionable that came out of that meeting, then yes, but there's no proof of that. Just having dinner with someone proves nothing.
We need to consider that some things are a public good that must be paid for as such, not as merely a commodity. Public broadcasting is the model that works best and achieves the correct balance between public good and market forces.It can be neither entirely one (state controlled media) nor the other (click bait drivel).
That's only partially correct. Some laws that require executive action to interpret and enforce leave it up to executive agencies to fill in the details. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 is one such law, which is why the FCC plays such a big role in net neutrality.

Section 230 is not such a law. It creates a civil liability shield for interactive computer services and states who that applies to and how it is to be used. There is nothing in it for the Executive to execute. It is only executed when someone raises it as a defense in a court case, and it is the judiciary that decide what it means.

The FCC can interpret it all they want, but that interpretation will be at best persuasive authority in any court case involving the application of 230.
In my experience the memory usage from the underlying process are pretty negligible, and then you also need the controller/scheduler pods running.

It doesn't use a ton, but in order of least-to-most lightweight IME it's Minikube -> Microk8s -> k3s

But again, the overhead is marginal so it's not a world of difference.

If you can run Swarm you can definitely run one of the lightweight k8s distributions.
I think there are have always been stupid people but now they have a megaphone (social media) to spread their disease.
Do you mind sharing your strategy for module versioning in a mono-repo? anything you encountered that really didn't work?
Up compared to what? That's the key. The money printing is roughly synced between central banks (Europe is actually printing more), so the dollar is up relative to other currencies (since other countries have external debts in dollars and have a need for dollars).

If you look at dollars versus assets, gold, bitcoin, real estate - it's pretty clear that the dollar has lost significantly (it's just not obvious because all physical currency has depreciated in tandem)

The inflation that is happening is not happening in daily commodities - it's happening in the capital markets instead.
yeah in today's world of dashcams and cell phone cams i am surprised there isn't footage of it if it were one.
Another hypothesis: Simondon was right and each technology has an inherent tendency which shapes what’s possible. Virilio was also right in suggesting the new forms of accidents that come along with an invention are more important than the invention itself.

The negative technical tendency of industrial technology was weapons of destruction and machines for murder, which led us to world war 2, proving that the technical zeitgeist of industrial mechanics had surpassed its rationality and was no longer tenable. The negative technical tendency of information technology is the proliferation and rapid spread of misinformation which leads us to, well the present I guess.
