Hi!

Author of this library here, I'm happy to answer any questions about this.
In my view, that balance is for Congress to decide (subject to the First Amendment), not the Court - and I'm frankly surprised that Justice Thomas -- a self-described "textualist" -- isn't giving more deference to social media's right not to republish views with which it disagrees.
Am I the only one pleased with how well organized and "skimable" this document is?

Text blocks are aligned properly, text sizes are used for information hierarchy. It's better than most documentation I peruse on a regular basis.
I think the list is here: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions

I'm not sure if it's a complete list however, as I use "sign in with google" for almost nothing (for exactly this reason).
> We've come full circle. Word of mouth is all you can trust.

5 years ago on HN someone would have said this is an industry ripe to be 'disrupted'. It can't be hard to create a new review site? Easy VC money, an exit within 5 years by acquisition from Yelp or Glassdoor or LinkedIn/MS.
> I don't want to do it locally, since that puts me on the hook for assuring physical safety and backups of my backups.

Regardless of where you store your personal data, the proverbial buck always stops at your desk when it comes to assuming responsibility.

Paying someone else to store your data gives you someone to hold accountable to what happens to your data. But that accountability is always limited and doesn't dismiss you from managing that relationship. For instance, the other party is still entirely free to bring terms and conditions to the table, which are meant to mitigate liablity as far as the party which will host your content is concerned.

Put more succinctly, even when you rely on a cloud service, you're still on the hook to assure safety and backups of your own data.

> I suppose I could roll my own solution, but frankly I get tired of maintaining my one-off projects like that after a year or two.

Yeah, I'm gonna prod you on that one. :-)

For e-mail, you could run an script once a month that harvest all your e-mails over IMAP and roll them into TXT, HTML, EML,... whatever. You could go for one big file, or discrete files. You could even pain yourself and fit everything in an mbox file. Roll everything in a ZIP or TAR ball. Then you'd store output file in whatever service you want.

You could spin up a VPS, provision the entire thing and set up a script that does all that as some service or cron job or whathaveyou. Now you've got an entire stack to take care off. Not what you want.

Maybe this is a good use case to go serverless. You could string something together using AWS serverless. Write an AWS Lambda in Python or Java. Should be one single script. Store your e-mail backups in S3 or somewhere else.

The idea of such a solution is that it just runs in the background and it runs in a robust fashion with not too many moving parts. So, here you have something running indefinitely as long as the bill gets paid. Or amazon doesn't cut you off. But at least you've now got your e-mail mirrored on two independent services, which is marginally better then where you are right now. The only other major constraint here is being able to restore your e-mail from that backup in case of disaster.

> The only people I ever seem to hear criticize Lightning are people who don’t even own Apple devices.

I've been exclusively iPhone since the 4S and its gorgeous retina display lured me away from my beloved Curve 8900. I am still not as proficient a typist nor as productive a person on the go as I was with my BlackBerry back in 2009.

(I did however ditch my rMBP years ago but I don't see how that could factor into a discussion about Lightning ports.)

The quickest way to resolve political standoffs in remote companies is to fly people out to an office and stick them in a conference room for a day.

The agenda barely matters. People just tend to behave better when they're dealing with a real human being that they've met instead of a screen name in Slack that they argue with every day.

This is why I never promise anyone 100% WFH or 100% remote any more. I tell everyone to plan for 0-3 weeks travel, giving some leeway for flying people out for face-to-face planning.

Clearly there are toll roads and many other forms of commercially viable "free market" transportation, so your argument is that some forms of transportation demand public funding.

The same applies to software: like cheap and versatile transportation, libraries and infrastructure are force multipliers for commercially-viable and public-interest products. Despite such software being heavily used in industry, there's a lot that is funded from a combination of public sources (e.g., a side-effect of federally-funded basic research by groups with deeply-held open source convictions) and volunteer effort. This could be improved by direct public funding or by tax incentives for companies that contribute to independently-governed open source projects. Either way, it takes legislators recognizing that open source infrastructure has sufficient value to create policy that helps sustain it.
In his opinion Justice Thomas explains why the law, as written by Congress, does not provide the degree of broad legal immunity that people think it does. He explains how past rulings in lower courts are interpretations of the "spirit" of the law, not the letter of the law. In that sense he is completely deferring to Congress.
Do you think normalizing anti-white terms like "Karen," to the point that "respectable" outlets like the WaPo and NYT use them, or selectively capitalizing Black but not white when referring to race, as the AP (a supposedly unbiased outlet) recently committed to doing, or making white children like the Covington Kids targets of public hate campaigns for smiling while being harassed by minorities, or pushing to ban "hate speech" (which in practice just means white speech) help with deradicalization?
Worth noting is that there's no single definition of "green". Sometimes tradeoffs have to be made. Personally, I would tend to say that a single concentrated pollution event is less important than global runaway climate-change.

Another interesting example of environmental trade-offs is the plastic bag ban (where the disposable, ultra-light-weight plastic bags at supermarkets are banned in favor of heavier, reusable plastic and paper bags).

The lighter bags:

- break more easily, making them harder to re-use

- tend to blow around and get stuck in trees, rivers, etc, causing visible pollution

However, the heavier bags:

- emit a lot more carbon through their transportation (because of the extra weight)

- put more total plastic into the world at the end of the day unless everyone reuses all of them (which many people don't)

Just like there's no single definition of "healthy food", there's no single definition of "good for the environment".

If 22 Senators voted against it, it’s fair to argue that Biden was in the wrong side of that vote. The fact that the parties might agree on something doesn’t immunize a Senator who voted for that thing of responsibility for the vote. NAFTA was bipartisan too (61-38 with 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats) and Trump strongly opposed that. The Iraq war was nearly unanimous and it would be totally fair to criticize Biden for that.

I actually have no idea whether this was a good bill or not. But who else voted along with Biden doesn’t really tell you anything. And that’s why it shouldn’t be the province of fact checking. It’s political defense of Biden’s vote.

Do you think we should filter out astroturfers and Russian bots? What about human written Russian propaganda crafted to harm our society? What about a US citizen who crafts propaganda to spread intentional misinformation and harm society but benefit themselves?

We don't let non-citizens vote. We don't allow free political speech nor the right to assembly at polling places. We have independent election observers. We have to ensure that the voting process is not polluted by actors who would wish to harm it.

Similarly, there are actors who want to harm the free and good faith discourse of our public forums, and acting to preserve those open forums is moral, though it will always be fuzzy.

Along these lines, MIT Prof. Alex Slocum's proposal was to build concrete domes underwater, and evacuate them to store energy / re-fill them to release energy. The pressure difference is the difference between vacuum and hundreds of atmospheres, and there are no compressible working fluids to cause adiabatic heating losses.

> The data is theirs to do with as they please. No hacking necessary.

I'd love to see the jurisprudence on this. If there are any photos, do they also get the copyrights? Can they share any nudes they find? How about that Adobe license?

As a non-lawyer, it is clear that owning the medium doesn't mean you own the information on it (or the cloud wouldn't be a thing). If we agree on that, then logically, it is possible to exfiltrate information that does not belong to you without authorization, which I think can be called "hacking".
There was an interesting talk a while ago about using ReactOS to teach low level Windows internals to Microsoft personnel. I can’t find it right now, unfortunately.
Ok so I'll break it down for you:
Spacy doesn't has autocompletion means that when you use Spacy or any other data structure from spacy you won't have any autocompletion that allow you to know the API you're using.
Not on any IDE I've tried and even on the simplest examples.

Was it too hard to understand or the reality is too ridiculous to even think about it being true?
A friend of me had the same problem so I think everybody has it, if you have autocompletion when using Spacy then say it so you would add intellectual value to the thread by constraining the scope of this existential bug for the python Nlp industry.
I was sceptical of this at first. I suspected that the "how much energy can be stored" was only in regards to a single use, but I checked out the source, and this is over the lifetime of the storage medium.

It blows my mind that it takes 1/10 of the energy it will ever store to manufacture a lithium ion battery.

IMHO, KDE has better perf on low end machines than Gnome3, but it's still a problem.

I had compiz back in the day; compositing isn't new. It's also not all that important; I'm basically using the same bones of the Windows 95 DE, 25 years later. Except Win95 was fast, lean, and incredibly unstable. ;)

I try KDE every year or so, and _always_ abandon it due to instability. I've filed tickets in the past but KDE developers, and to be fair Gnome devs too, seem to have your attitude: old and slow devices aren't worth their time, despite the large install base worldwide.

Hell, they're not much slower than Chromebooks or the previously popular Netbooks.
Apple content firewall is getting at least worrisome. For sure some autocracy would call 'alt information' as irrelevant and banish them all from their platform.

You can now link the takeout to another cloud provider (e.g. Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive). And configure the takeout to take place every two month (for up to 6 times).

So you just need to configure the takeout once a year and you'll automatically receive a backup once every two month.

> The Times reported last January that Burisma had been hacked by the same Russian GRU unit that was one of two groups that hacked the Democratic National Committee in 2016. Last month, United States intelligence analysts contacted several people with knowledge of the Burisma hack for further information after they had picked up chatter that stolen Burisma emails would be leaked in the form of an “October surprise.”

> Among their chief concerns, according to people familiar with the discussions, was that the Burisma material would be leaked alongside forged materials in an attempt to hurt Mr. Biden’s candidacy — as Russian hackers did when they dumped real emails alongside forgeries ahead of the 2017 French elections — a slight twist on Russia’s 2016 playbook when they siphoned leaked D.N.C. emails through fake personas on Twitter and WikiLeaks.

Yes. I don't see ANY advantage of SSO if you are using a password manager like 1Password which autofill strong passwords and even 2FA if you want. Why would I want to use Google Sign In in this case?

Lack of 'break' is a very useful bit of syntax I use somewhat frequently for categorization. AKA you have a handful of case values that fall into a smaller subset of catagories. Rather than an unreadable set of if/else's that all have multiple if
"a||b||c||d.." conditions, vs a big state machine, or match structure.

Then if one enforces a clearer formatting style than is common on most open source projects the lack of "break" statements stick out visually and it becomes much harder to miss a break statement when the intentionally missing ones have lines like

"// Intentional fall-through"

Or you use a "nobreak" macro and enforce the use of break/nobreak in the automated style/linter.
It means nothing. Thomas has a penchant for gratuitously giving his personal opinion when nobody is asking for it. If I had a nickel for every time Thomas wrote to suggest the court should pick up an ancillary issue in the future, and then proceeded to write his future opinion....

Sometimes I wish the court would pick up an issue. Many years ago Thomas wrote in a cert denial regarding developer exactions (i.e. making a developer pay for something as a price for project approval) that the court should find a [better] case to make clear the boundaries of unconstitutional exactions. But of course the court has yet to do that, and even if it did I have little reason to believe (unfortunately) the rest of the justices shared Thomas' disdain for exactions.

The same is likely true here: I doubt most of the other justices have a pressing desire to step into the middle of the Section 230 debate, and even if they did I doubt even more that they would share Thomas' peculiar interpretation of the law. Note that just because Thomas (or any justice) says that their interpretation is the obvious "plain text" meaning, that doesn't actually mean it is.

I still find the forced upgrade lifecycle to be horrendous. An iPhone 7 can still be updated to iOS 14 today, and assuming the battery has been replaced recently (which would be required for a long-lasting android phone as well) it'll work extremely well as a daily driver for everything short of 3d gaming (and even then, games will just turn down graphics settings to achieve acceptable performance). As far as I could find, the earliest phone that has Android 11 is the pixel 2 from 2017 (rip pixel 1) and outside of the pixel lineup, you're only guaranteed 2 years of OS updates if a phone is part of the Android One program[0]. Apple has its problems but their sole control of payments via the App Store is a huge incentive to keep maintaining iOS for old devices.

An interesting point of anecdata is that I didn't choose to upgrade my perfectly good three-year-old smartphone. I was forced to do so by the weight of compulsory upgrades to OS and apps that now make what was once a decent enough product completely unusable.

Compensation makes more sense after people give up notions that they're paid according to the value they produce.

Compensation settles at the lowest value required to convince you to join and stay at a company. That's it.

It's called market rate because hiring is a market, which is governed by supply and demand. Better negotiating skills can help you distort that market a bit to your advantage, while sub-par negotiating skills will put you at a disadvantage. But it all pivots around market rate, supply and demand, and the minimum cost to prevent you from leaving the company.
