Are you claiming that Twitter is an "Internet Provider"?

> Thomas' argument is essentially repeating what all Internet providers have been saying for my lifetime: "Don't shoot the messenger, we're just the tubes. We don't exercise discretion over the content." The courts looked favorably on that argument for practical reasons. Back then though, providers were typically trying to avoid censoring, due to the fact they were hosting objectionable, possibly illegal content. These same providers are now arguing that the unbearable costs of censorship that they can not possibly withstand for illegal content... well, they in fact can manage to bear for voluntarily censoring legal content. And that particular legal, political content in this case is actually mandated with equal access provisions under election law by all other mediums.

I think you're missing some subtlety here. Websites are arguing that they should never be liable for third party content, they should not be required to censor it, and liable if they fail. The argument here being that doing so is very difficult, and they're going to screw up, so this opens them to liability.

The argument on the other side is exactly the same: if we choose to remove some stuff, we shouldn't be liable for the things we fail to remove, because ultimately it is impossible for our systems to perfectly address all content.

So the argument is exactly the same: whether or not we choose to remove some content, we cannot be held liable for all content, because doing so will make it impossible to operate.

> And that particular legal, political content in this case is actually mandated with equal access provisions under election law by all other mediums.

Are you suggesting that the NY post article was "legal, political, content"? As it stands, the rules about political advertising are about political advertising by registered political entities, not "content deemed to be political by a judge".

"toxic comment" is not an ad-hominem. The opinion of toxicity is scoped explicitly to the position ("comment"), not the person.

In contrast, your original post's usage of "the mind of a narcissist" is directed at the individual (and their mind), not just their opinion.

Yep. They have a compiler to bring it down to the metal so IDK what you're saying.

--- EDIT ---

@saagarjha, as I'm being slowposted by HN, here's my response via edit:

OK, sure! You need some agreed semantics for that, at the low level. But the hardware guys aren't likely to add actors in the silicon. And they presumably don't intend to support eg. hardware level malloc, nor hardware level general expression evaluation[0], nor hardware level function calling complete with full argument handling, nor fopen, nor much more.

BTW "The metal which largely respects C's semantics?" C semantics were modelled after real machinery, which is why C has variables which can be assigned to, and arrays which follow very closely actual memory layout, and pointers which are for the hardware's address handling. If the C designers could follow theory rather than hardware, well, look at lisp.

How do people see linux gaming? All the games I play run just fine on linux, doom eternal atleast 60fps, rocket league 100fps+, MGS V, deus ex, etc. no problem.
I cant imagine them being much better on windows.
Whatever your opinions on DRM, I find the mindset of someone who would donate money to support cracking efforts to be... strange. Wouldn't it be easier to just buy the game?

I mean, it might be one thing if the cracker was also producing blog posts about their reverse engineering efforts and the internals of DRM, or if the audience was a bunch of Linux users... but in practice it seems to be a bunch of children (frankly) who want free stuff. I wonder who is donating?
The study linked in the OP estimates a median .27% IFR across all populations.

The following numbers are from several month old seroprevalence studies so take them with a grain of salt but:

https://www.ryankemper.io/post/2020-04-29-the_case_for_endin...

Pegs the 50-59 age range around the median IFR. Whereas the >70 mortality is where things really start falling off of a cliff.

BTW my point was never “your chance of dying in a car crash is >= COVID”...although that statement would be very true for <40 age populations. My point was more broadly that people have a risk aversion to COVID that is unmatched by their attitudes towards risk in all other areas of life.
If they plan on doing that they should do to hardware what they did to their software. Have a single set of fixed hardware so you only need to test it once for the commercial part of Proton. What they did with Steam Machines was pure madness but maybe they see something I don't.

Counting only citizens does preclude counting all free persons. (If you're speaking about counting all but considering citizenship a demographic, that's legal and used to be done iirc, but was dropped as it was feared it would disincentivize non-citizen being counted. The recent court case about the citizenship question was settled by the courts because of administrative procedure, not the legality of the question.)

Moreover, collecting demographics data is orthogonal and I'm not sure why you're bringing it up.

There was actually a fair amount of momentum behind Esperanto in the 1920s. The League of Nations seriously considered adopting it as their official language of business and was also considering recommending that member states include Esperanto in their educational curricula. The only real opposition was from the French, who wanted to preserve their language as the language of diplomacy, and vetoed these proposals.

But by the late 1930s that momentum had faded away and totalitarian governments (particularly Germany and the Soviet Union) began to suppress Esperanto.

> A news stand isn't required to sell every magazine that every publisher makes though, right?

News publishers and editors are liable for content.

And yes, under equal access time laws by the FEC, broadcast networks are required to give equal time if requested by a political candidate.

We can argue semantics, or to what degree the law is enforced. The issue is that those two media both are 1) regulated and 2) liable with respect to content in a way that internet platforms that have voluntarily taken on an editorial responsibility are not.

As it happens, earlier this year I came to the conclusion that browser extensions are too high-risk, and I disabled everything I could possibly do without. Now I'm limiting myself to just Firefox "recommended" extensions, under the hope that Mozilla is doing something to make sure they stay aboveboard, and a few non-recommended ones that I just can't live without, like Vimium. I lost some functionality due to disabling extensions, but so be it. The browser is far too important these days.

For my remaining non-recommended extensions, all of which are open source I think, I am considering some workflow where I just clone their repos and install the extensions locally, updating occasionally when I can review the resulting changes myself.

(It happens that I had disabled Nano Blocker in my purge months back. FWIW it never seemed to work for me. For those uninstalling, don't forget to uninstall the extension, the block lists, and the uBlock advanced "user resources" file.)

EDIT: Just realized I can turn off automatic updates for just some Firefox add-ons, so I did that for a bunch of add-ons. I'll update them when something breaks and I have time to review what's changing.

And when Google shuts it down in a couple of years, you will lose your entire library you spent money on. You can see by the selection of launch games how Stadia was another Google toy project. Or the fact that the new Chromecast won't have Stadia support until 2021.

At least with Steam, you know that the games will remain in your library and you can buy and install Windows and play them in the future if, for any reason, Linux support gets dropped.
Employers usually look at the last few roles on the CV, many times they don't even read the entire resumé. After a period of stagnation it's always a possiblity to take a trendier role for less pay - if the previous job offsets this relative pay cut, the engineer still won.
Just so you know, copyright infringement does allow independent development to be a valid excuse.

Copyright infringement requires intentional copying without permission, and so if you independently produce the same thing without copying, that thing now has two distinct copyrights.

Patents may be what you're thinking of, as they require zero knowledge nor intent to infringe upon, but patents do not apply to artistic performances.

Or at least seamless. The industry lost the distinction between updates and upgrades some years ago. If after an update, everything still worked properly, people wouldn't have an aversion to it. But in an era where even a minor version 'security update' adds and removes features and entire applications, sometimes causes loss of data, and may totally change the UI, people are naturally wary.

Nobody wants to spend hours trying to get their computer back to the way it was yesterday, redo all the work they were doing, or learn new workflows when they have a deadline tomorrow or an important presentation to do this afternoon. When updates have become malware, people will block them.

The goal of Proton is probably to have an alternative ready in case Microsoft decides to go Apple and require 30% payment for everything that runs on their OS. They started to lean that way with UWP and Windows Store and it made Valve work on Linux compatibility since.
Moral opposition to the concept of DRM perhaps. For me in fact it's that DRM is such a massive pain in the ass that I usually buy the game and then pirate a copy that I can actually play without any storefront/UPlay/EPIC horseshit.
Unlike Java there's no official bytecode and all implementation do it differently. I don't think any high performance implementation use bytecodes, but instead uses threaded code for their 1st tier, and native code for all others.

Mostly. See https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-additions-and-changes-that-intr... for a comprehensive list of backward-incompatible changes in the spec.

Using that list to answer your question is a bit tricky, since it also includes backward-compatibility breaks with newer features. But, e.g.,

> In ECMAScript 2015, ToNumber applied to a String value now recognizes and converts BinaryIntegerLiteral and OctalIntegerLiteral numeric strings. In previous editions such strings were converted to NaN.

and

> In ECMAScript 2015, the Date prototype object is not a Date instance. In previous editions it was a Date instance whose TimeValue was NaN.

sound like backward-incompatible changes to a JS 1.1 behavior.

Another notable example is the formalization of function-in-block semantics, which broke compatibility with various implementations in order to find a least-bad compromise everyone could interop on. I'm not sure if JS 1.1 even had blocks though, much less functions in blocks...

Trucking goods over land will spread a lot more covid than shipping over sea (with seamen no longer allowed to leave ship). That is the big factor I reckon.

So islands will ship everything already, whereas most land-countries move a lot of goods with trucking, and spread the disease that way, even when land-borders are closed.

Yeah WASM killing JS is an outside bet for this decade. Could happen. (Please Lord).
But it's quite critical to know what % of excess deaths were caused by unreported COVID-19 infections, vs lockdown. The fact is, lockdown will kill people. It's really important to figure out how many it will kill, so we can balance that against lives saved, especially with COVID-19 proving to be much less deadly than originally feared.

As an extreme example, for some poorer countries without much healthcare infrastructure, you can definitely make the case that given the inevitability of the virus spreading, in some situations the right thing to do is give up early, accept that you'll have a wave of deaths, and move on. The alternative is a slow motion disaster with about as many direct COVID deaths, and additional deaths due to lockdown. If you don't have healthcare infrastructure to begin with, overloading it doesn't change much.

It's something of a matter of terminology. That would be seen as a generally inappropriate term in the US. Although people do have au pairs/nannies.

But no one is forcing them to be "liable" for their own internal regulations they completely made up.

This is a case of 1) a public person (so they don't fall under libel), 2) a politically newsworthy story, 3) published in a regulated industry, 4) where they inconsistently discriminated in applying their own policy, and 5) would be legally culpable if they were a traditional broadcast platform under FEC election law.

The fact that their internal policy runs against what they'd have to do if they were a broadcast network is the icing on the cake. And then there's the fact that "they can't possibly monitor all of the violations on their platform." So wait, even their own EULA is selectively enforced for users!!!!?

Preformance was never a problem. Some games worked even better on Wine than native Windows. The thing is that you're never 100% sure it will be 100% compatible.

If you have two computers in your home, one Windows, one Linux and you, for example, share your Steam libraries with other gamers in your family, then it's great. If something doesn't work on Linux, you always have Windows around.

But, if you only have Linux, then you need to do some research before every purchase.
