The department may very well need more significant resources to continue this fight, as will surrounding states if Washington isn't effective in fighting this.

I'm not against government spending. I think there are plenty of problems that market forces alone cannot solve. I think the government should provide a solid safety net for its citizens. That is precisely why I lament the resources required for this. They are absolutely necessary, and at the same time it means there are fewer resources to go to other absolutely necessary needs.
That's true if you take the gym seriously. A lot of people would probably get more health benefits from putting that energy into walking more and doing some simple isometrics from time to time. Most people are just spending way too much time sitting on their butts, and a few sessions at the gym isn't really counteracting many of the effects of that.

For example, by rating Trump's claim that Biden used the word "superpredators" to refer to black people in relation to the extremely racist 1994 Crime Bill as "mostly false" because he said "predators", not "superpredators". [1]

The 1994 Crime Bill is racist, and so is everyone who supported it. There's no nuance here. It's just Snopes covering up for one side, again.

If you can't admit racism on your side, who will believe a word you say when you call others racist?

Go was designed as a language with fairly good performance, but with limited capability so that programmers with limited skills would find it hard to get too far into the weeds. It is well suited to undemanding tasks.

Most programming tasks are undemanding, and most programmers have limited skills, so it is a good match for a great deal of routine work. It fits in the same niche as Java, where Java's OO apparatus imposes complications that are superfluous for simple applications, and an actual obstacle in most. So, a language that abandons all that is better in those applications.

Simple tools are not bad except when you need something more. So, my agreement was with the idea in mind of writing Pandoc in Go, which would be madness.

If you'd like to not be downvoted into oblivion you'd do well to provide an alternate theory. What's your prediction for the upcoming election? Why? What's your methodology? Or is your point that forecasting is futile? I can't tell. There's too much emotion directed at 538/etc. for me to suss out what your point is besides disliking 538/the media/etc, which just isn't particularly helpful for the discussion.

This is a good step and we should take this seriously, it can be done.

Did you know that the province of Alberta has no rats?

Literally. No. Rats.

It takes a serious, concerted and systematic effort but it can be done. [1]

Your over estimation of how good facebook are at room mapping is cute.

Do you know why those clauses are in the legal agreement? its because otherwise they can't make the slam cameras work. Which means you need light houses.

Also when you submit a bug, I'm pretty sure it uploads the state of the SLAM map, which would be impossible if they didn't have the legal cover.

Now thats not to say that if they had the tech they _would_ use those bits of information. However they don't because they really don't have the tech yet.

Firstly the features that the oculus extracts from the SLAM cameras really arn't great for room mapping. Well, the cameras are fine, the feature extractor isn't. it works short term, but not for long term, or dense reconstruction.

Secondly, streaming 4x slam cameras at 60hz isn't trivial in a lab, let alone on with a battery on wifi on a generic internet connection.

Thirdly, facebook dont have anywhere near enough GPUs do the required classification/mesh generation/segmentation etc.

Finally there isn't a RGB camera.

Being backed by Google contributes a big deal to its (relative) success. I think it is the most limited and ugliest of all the "modern" languages (Rust, D, Zig (never tried Swift)). And at the same time it seems to have the most significant output of all these (docker, kubernetes, gitea...).
I think the third post in that thread really nails the underlying issue here. We, as humans, know that it would be silly to think that some configurations could happen. We know there's no reason to expect Biden to win Alabama outside of him winning nearly every state.

A statistical model only has a vague idea of context/the real world. It looks at polls (and probably not really that many polls of Alabama or Mississippi or Alaska) and sees that, statistically, Biden should win 3% of the time or so.

It doesn't have a specific world set of events in mind that would cause that, it just knows that that's how the numbers go, and thus may lead to weird circumstances in the grander results because it has to make the world match the numbers in these small corners.

Copyright should be exactly like any other contract and should be treated as a breach of contract if you infringe on it, if you signed it.
If you're selling your work to millions of people you're probably making a decent amount of money. The difficulty of enforcing millions of contracts at the same time are nothing but a market way to tax your profits.
The less you sell, the easier it will be to pinpoint the culprit and sue him.
As a creator you're in your right to sue whoever breached your contract with them and redistributed / copied your work / didn't respect your conditions, but is it going to be cost efficient (especially if you consider the marketing side of piracy)?
Someone pirating your content without entering into a contract with you is not breaching any contract and, despite being highly immoral, is not doing anything wrong. The original copy must have been sourced from somewhere though, so I would consider it fair to put the entire cost to whoever breached the contract first.

If as a society we create regulations that allow big corporations and their friends in the government to infringe on people's freedom, we're not only losing our freedom but also increasing inequality.

There are some success stories, like the European Grapevine Moth in CA [1]. The key seems to be aggressive action when the threat is still in it’s infancy and contained.

Just store cents.
Yes. IIRC, Rob Pike or someone else on the Go team even said something like "it's hard, so we are taking our time about it, may implement it later". Edit: see [1] below.

Also googled and found this:

which includes this section:

Go might have generics in future

with this text:

The Go FAQ recognizes the issue and says that generics may be added at some point...

Considering how Java generics turned out I am fine with the Go team taking the time to think about a proper design for generics in Go :-)

It depends on whether you are using NetworkManager or systemd-resolved, or something else.
> There is a narrative being pushed very hard currently that differences in outcome between groups automatically implies discrimination

No, not usually automatically, though that's usually the straw man that opponents focus on; the usual actual position is that that is taken as a presumptive cause where there is a clear history of discrimination against the group, and there is not clear evidence that the difference in outcome at issue has a non-discriminatory explanation.
An Open Letter to Ray Dalio Re: Bitcoin
I use Wayfire [0], a customizable compositor based on wlroots, the same base as sway. It's quite involved and not absolutely perfect yet, but it has some features I haven't yet seen on other DEs like being able to swipe horizontally on your touchpad to smoothly switch workspaces (following your fingers) and the satisfaction of having it properly configured is pretty high.

There have been 3 issues I've had regarding it, 2 I'd call minor:

- I haven't found a way to rearrange external displays, though it is theoretically supported

- After a bug in my TV switching to the lowest possible resolution through switching the input in home assistant it would not work with 4K again until after a complete reboot (so it may not even be a wlroots issue)

- XWayland apps are unresponsive in the upper half of the second screen (4K at 1x scaling)

Using mostly native Wayland apps neither of these have been deal breakers for me. Something under-discussed is that virtual desktops are per-screen, which I find quite cool.

So that's my adventure with Wayfire, but I would assume that Gnome and KDE have perfected multi-screen usage on and off of Wayland by now.

wheelchair-routing is a difficult, unsolved problem IMHO. Yes you can use a profile in Graphhopper and the Heidelberg University did a large project as well.

When talking with wheelchair users I learnt that they often improvise on the routes they take, for example crossing the road even without curb-cut because it is quicker for them or trash bins blocking the sidewalk.

We plan to integrate a base layer design like https://www.accessmap.io/ which can help with basic orientation (eg. red-colored streets if they have a steep incline for example).

At the same time it would be great to have very detailed data about sidewalks in general. Apart from OSM I think this is an interesting definition: https://sharedstreets.io/
The particular combination of things is, some library includes some method signatures that accept and return a specific struct (not a specific interface). Then, also, there is no exported way to make one of that struct, or to set its fields. Now you cannot write a library that wraps the original library and exposes the same API (unless you use unsafe and reflection).

In the OO languages I have encountered there seems to be a stronger convention toward using interfaces instead of struct or class types in this sort of situation, but people are certainly free in Java to use a final class type as the type of their parameters and return values if they want to make their library less composable.
I saw Cory yesterday at the Denver scifi convention MileHiCon. He is the guest of honor this year. Yes, he was on a couple of panels about digital rights.

I think platforms shouldn't be allowed to deplatform things, fwiw.

As an open source project they do not pay anything (I assume).

The regime is here and as you pointed out it's not easy to "just change it"; the point of Obama's strategy was to limit the regime's access to nuclear weapons, not to directly make life better for the average Iranian. It was effective at that goal. And Iran with nuclear weapons would make regime change in the future even harder.

International politics with these kind of countries are tricky business; personally I'd love nothing more than see Iran become a better place, but you can't just force things like this. We tried in Afghanistan and Iraq, and that didn't turn out so well. People are still trying in Syria and we can't exactly call this a great success either.

So ... your best bet is to deal with these kind of regimes the best you can, by applying pressure in one area and making a deal in another. I think few people are especially happy with this, but it's the best option out of a bad bunch.

Back in the 90s, Bill gates was enemy #1 in the tech community (You can see examples of this in old Slashdot articles).

He realized after he retired from Microsoft that as long as you align yourself with the Democratic party and say you are helping the world through one of their supported causes, you can get away with murder.

Gates hasn't changed, the Media's coverage of him has.

This does bring up another interesting side effect. Since the US media is so heavily biased toward the left and pretty much ignore any Democrat scandal (cough Hunter Biden cough), any non-democrat will be heavily investigated and the ones that aren't cancelled are most likely honest.

It's almost like a filter for the people that should be in power. If the media was less biased, I would include Democrats as well.

Apple does implement its own search index and service.

It just doesn’t using it to compete with Google head on currently.

I’m guessing that their strategy would be to continue to integrate search results across the os gradually, rather than building a straight up Google competitor.

Unless of course they are forced to.

Nobody really needed it as the will of the people was clear - no more threats of more of those "trains of friendships" full of Western Ukrainian nationalists, especially given all the quiet massive arming of those nationalists that had happened under the cover of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the run up to the 2014.
My recent experience with Google Search says otherwise.

First 4-5 links are ads, the next might be relevant. Page 2 onwards is definitely irrelevant.
> several projects deployed into production like gVisor and TamaGo prove otherwise

Do they? AFAIK gVisor absolutely had to fight with Go, and it has a huge performance impact, and lots of larger projects have done some semi-absurd work such as implementing their own generics impl via preprocessors.
That logic made no sense at all. The money Apple spends developing its own CPUs is a fraction of the money they would have had to spend anyway to buy vendor CPUs. But they don't have to buy search. Search buys them! Developing their own search would convert search from a gigantic revenue stream with 100% gross margins into a massive operating expense. It's the opposite of making their own CPUs.
So what above proves your point regarding systematic corruption?

Pasting a load of hastily googled things doesn't advance your prejudice induced argument one iota.
I think this is my favorite quote: "Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Secretary Clinton, denied that she had played a role in disrupting his business. “It’s not true, but not a surprise given Erik Prince’s track record of being equal parts conspiracy theorist and full of shit,” Merrill tells Rolling Stone"
I love these kinds of projects. Think about how much of the technology in use here was out of reach for the average person even a decade ago - the sensors, microprocessors, 3D printer & rapid prototyping.

No, it wasn't.

That's the justification for the US Constitution allowing the US Congress to create US federal IP laws, but copyright law is older than the US, and was very much not created for that purpose. (And, despite exercising a power expressly created for that purpose, it's pretty clear that the actual present US copyright law wasn't created for that purpose, either.)
