Check out r/Libertarian sometime. After it was radicalized by self-professed fascist moderators and turned into a pro-Trump meme board, the admin stepped in and installed a moderation team that spent time coming up with rules to prevent the subreddit from being overrun by authoritarians again. They added legitimate left-libertarian[1] moderators, and there are left-libertarians users that post there.

I bring it up because it is the only conservative space I've seen that doesn't end up posting helicopter ride[2] memes at people they perceive to be even slightly to the left of them.

Xenomai might be fast enough with some coprocessing added if necessary. It makes your RT threads have essentially "normal" POSIX RT api, but runs them on separate kernel that can respond to things like interrupts much, much faster (including stable timeslicing)

The situation is more complex.

For instance I have a subscription to a magazine publisher that pushes me any new issues of several magazines as they are published (roughly 10 to 20 every months). And the content of the subscription is not fixed, for a few months some magazines appeared, and other disappeared. Some of the content is gore/mature, while not straight porn.

The catch of course is that the subscription payment goes to Apple, and only Apple (no concurrent web version exists), and additional in-app purchases also go through Apple, no bypassing.

There is also audio subscriptions apps working on the same principles. The one I follow has been there for years.

Basically, as long as Apple gets a decent cut the "browser" nature or fine grain policing content doesn't seem to matter much.

I had entire multi-hundred track playlists disappear on me. I keep paying for spotify, but in honesty I really shouldn't at this point, I'm barely using it. Bandcamp sells me what I want, and when they don't I listen to something else or find it somewhere else. I've even been buying (and ripping into my local collection) some 2nd hand CDs.

> Filtering ... perl one-liners can be used for filtering lines matched by a regexp, similar to grep, sed and awk.

In this section, the examples do stuff that are easy to do with grep, sed, or awk, but since perl is more powerful, wouldn't it be better to use examples that aren't as easy to do with those other tools?

For example, I recently found I could use short perl one-liners to filter files in a pipe like using `[[ -f $file ]]` per line. I used to use stest from dmenu like this:

pacman -Qlq $pkg | stest -f

but now I see I could instead do the following anywhere without installing a special package:

pacman -Qlq $pkg | perl -lne 'print if -f'
> Uniting the country is definitely a commendable goal

This is hard and may backfire in a deeply divided country. To me, instead of trying to achieve a common ground (which, in the current situation often means forcing 49% to the position of the 51%; with the chance of a swap in 2-4 years) we should learn to live, share space and collaborate with folks who hold different political views.

We can disagree on politics, but it should not prevent us from working as a team on software or sharing a beer after work. We are not at war with the other half of the country. We should respect their opinions and avoid unnecessary confrontations. My 2c.
> The House made their case and the Senate disagreed.

That is ignoring the open partisanship displayed by the Senate. The Republicans openly admitted they would be giving the impeachment process a fair hearing.

And to be fair, I doubt the Democrats would have done any different had the positions been reversed.

I'm not sure there's a better solution. I'm not sure you want an "impartisan" non-elected body to make a decision as fundamental as removing the President from office.

> Except that playing Fortnite isn't the thing that's being disallowed

Alright, and fortnite is now going to be playable with in web browser purchases, on the safari web browser pretty soon.

So the purchases, without going through Apple, are going to happen on the iPhone, as well as the playing of fortnite on the iPhone.

And Apple would have to prevent certain websites, if they wanted to stop those purchases that go outside of Apple's app system.
At the moment we really don’t have every piece of information needed to say it’s without a doubt fraudulent — as in how many new voters registered just in time for the election and are not in the denominator.

I’m saying if I were to run an election and have 90% of registered voters turn out for a state, I’d be a hot commodity for many campaigns. That’s an achievement like no other...
> Entering the country illegally makes you a criminal.

If you define "criminal" as "any person who has committed a crime", and "crime" as "any illegal act that can be punished by law", then yes.

By that definition, everyone who has ever received a parking ticket is a criminal too, though.

Seems more sensible to reserve this loaded term (in US context) for the violent crimes and property crimes the FBI releases statistics on.
Boy, that rear view mirror makes criticism a whole bunch easier, doesn’t it? :)

That's what I used to believe, but these aren't people I see on TV, these are people I actually spoke to. When they ignored the facts I asked them what facts would change their mind and was told point blank that there were no facts that would change their mind.

I don't see how you can engage with that.

Yeah I haven't seen a leftist in /pol/ since the bunkerchan raids. At most, you have people that are barely liberals.
I sincerely believe that there is definitely some common ground. Otherwise I would not have posted that thought.

Is it easy to find that common ground? Of course, not. Will it take a lot of time and effort (from all sides)? Absolutely. But, in the end, it is certainly worth trying, at the very least. That is why I have listed the areas, which I think represent some aspects that I hope we all could easier agree on than some other aspects.

Finally, I think that it is important not to generalize people, based on our own (limited) experience. Some people on other side(s) are more flexible than others. Moreover, I believe that people can change, including their point of view on various issues. If we will dismiss the idea that others are or can become open minded, we will shut the door to a potential dialog, which could bring us even more trouble.
What does that have to do with it? Why would they give an award, or any recognition, to a racist? So you have to help inner city youth to not be a racist?

Why would the NAACP give a racist anything?

I think it depends on how threatened you felt growing up. I grew up quite poor, and politics was a big part of my teenage years, because there weren't very many legitimate paths to stability or success where I grew up in the US. Friends I made as an adult who grew up in the more traditional upper-middle class milleu that make up Silicon Valley tech company rank-and-file were much more apolitical at that age.
It's imo not possible to have perfect privacy on Android and a good experience, you must make a tradeoff: Here is my completely subjective list of steps, from easy to hard: 1. Go to google privacy for your account and disable all tracking. 2. Do not connect your main google account to your phone. 3. Use firefox. 4. Use a 3rd party map app with offline maps. 5. Do not connect any google account to your phone. This locks you out of the app store, so you have to rely on other stores. 6. Use linageos. 7. Do not use gapps or google play services.

Anyone read a practical 20 year plan to decrease divisiveness in the US (say, to 1990s levels)?

Or: Ignoring funding, what would you do?

An example year 1 goal: "Get X million people to watch 10 hours/year of strangers who they would normally not encounter or agree with, and to see them as real people."

To do that, produce and televise + stream a long-form TV show, like a version of Braver Angels' Red/Blue Workshops[1] that's actually fun to watch. Imagine a well-produced show with deep participant profiles - a cross between a reality TV show and a HBO/Netflix long-form movie.

It would humanize the participants first, then after viewers care about them, their lives, and their families, the actors gradually explain their backgrounds and opinions - some of which a viewer will disagree with. Viewers would "meet" people they may not interact with regularly. (Sarah Silverman's "I Love You, America"[2] is the closest I've seen to this, and it's not all that close.)

This would need to be a multi-decade plan, probably with philanthropic and public funding.

> It was both the sample (read actual reports from pollsters on how hard it is to get a sample these days... people DO NOT want to participate in polls) and an underestimate of the number of voters the Republicans would get to the polls.

Exactly, polling is very difficult, and getting even more so.

I was polled a few years ago by Gallup or Pew (or one of the other well known ones). The call was from an unknown number and I took it. No way I'd do that now with all the robocalls.
I saw predictit.org swing from pro Biden the morning of the election, to Trump in the afternoon, to Biden the next morning, so it seemed they were as confused as anyone.

They also didn't seem very aware that mail votes (leaning Biden) would likely be counted after in person votes (leaning Trump), which 538 had been predicting would cause a temporary pro-Trump lean for ages.

Normally I'd agree, but in this case, the loud crazy voice is often Trump himself.
Agreed with all points. I often find that these sorts of observational studies with weak methods that provide evidence for something the unblinded study participants would want to support (e.g., this study, observational studies of the effect of reduced workweek hours on productivity, many of the observational basic income studies) are really hard to evaluate fairly. It becomes easy to latch onto the conclusions when the intervention is one you're predisposed to believe in and to latch onto the methodological weaknesses when it's one you start of opposed towards, and so I feel like they don't really advance science forward at all.
It's definitely not fair to the employees of company B (assuming the jobs are equivalent).
I like the cgroups approach because it seems to logically build on the established idea of process groups.

I also tend to think that processes in cgroups are a sweet spot of lightweight containerization that can do quite a bit.
If you go hunting for extreme examples then you'll certainly find them, on every side.

Or perhaps we should stop cherry-picking the extremes as representative of all the people.
I really don't notice Instagram or Twitter or my mail client running any faster on my iPhone than on my Android device.
It's not, at all. They're also blocking Microsoft's Xbox game streaming.
It's a little unclear to me exactly who this will be enforced on (Does a drugstore count? McDonalds restaurant?), but it seems like it will likely lead to a lot of companies divesting themselves of anything that could put them at risk now or in the future. And it doesn't seem like a great time for SF to be pushing companies away.

It's downright impressive to me that one of (if not the most) educated cities in the nation is ignorant of the fact this will likely do much more harm than good in the long run.

> San Francisco is one of the most desirable cities in the United States for companies to be located.

You're only the prettiest girl at the party until you're not anymore.
This is one of those things thats seems right as a principle, but really questionable as legislation.

On on hand, using median salary rather than an absolute amount seems fair, but in practice, this will most likely result in firms creating subsidiaries to employ their lowest-paid employees rather than raising their pay.
I am convinced that the main problem in the US is the structure of the Senate. It is preposterous to assert that the state of Rhode Island or the welfare state of Kentucky is as important to the security or economic health of the nation as California or Texas.

We are a divided nation: people trying to make the best of their situation, and the Senate, a fantasyland where we pretend that every state is equally relevant.

The "2 per state" rule worked back in 1776 because the states were roughly the same size, everyone was a farmer, and fertilizer had not yet been invented.

Today, senators should be allocated based on the GDP of each state.
Ah, gotcha. Agreed!
Winamp MilkDrop light :))
“businesses in San Francisco when their highest-paid managerial employee earns more than 100 times the median compensation paid to their employees in San Francisco.“

I'm slightly concerned that you are going to see them just shift jobs out of SF... isn't that logical? May be harder for some businesses, but they will all do a cost-benefit analysis of raising median wages in SF, paying the tax or moving the SF jobs somewhere else?

I think you can't pay the executive less... the executives that land in this level of pay are paid based on what they could get at another company (that is not based in SF... there are not really cost-of-living adjustments at this level...), speaking generally and in broad strokes. So you shouldn't see any changes to the top end of the equation (which isn't want they are going for... they are going for raising the less paid workers' wages, so they did that right.)
>> Some political scientists have attributed Republicans' higher resentment scores to the fact that they typically favor less government intervention

> Well that's not surprising considering the nature of the questions. Damn your notion of racism is strange, Americans.

"Government intervention" may be a codeword for social programs, which are often viewed in a certain way:

> Here, we integrate prior work to develop and test a theory of how perceived macro-level trends in racial standing shape whites’ views of welfare policy. We argue that when whites perceive threats to their relative advantage in the racial status hierarchy, their resentment of minorities increases. This increased resentment in turn leads whites to withdraw support for welfare programs when they perceive these programs to primarily benefit minorities.

Some books on this:

> Wetts and Willer are hardly the first scholars to argue that racial animus is a powerful factor motivating opposition to social spending and redistribution in the US. Jill Quadagno’s The Color of Welfare in 1994 and Martin Gilens’s Why Americans Hate Welfare in 1999 credited racial factors — in particular, stereotypes of black people as lazy and overly dependent on government aid — with substantially reducing support for welfare spending since the war on poverty began in the 1960s.

Ah, yes. But you seem to be saying in the article that these incentives cause the platforms to lack such features, whereas what I mean is that e.g. Android's intents and activities provide just such a mechanism (which could be used to great effect as indicated in the sibling comment about OpenIntents), but commercial application vendors don't want to use it. They would rather control the user experience than integrate seamlessly into the platform.

In particular, you mention sandboxes imprisoning the code. But Android allows an app in one sandbox to display an activity (essentially a dialog box) from another app running in another sandbox with different privileges in a way that appears seamless to the user. I could have one app with access to bluetooth (but no camera) call upon another app with access to the camera (but no bluetooth) in order to take a photo.

I believe apps can also expose services and data sources (ContentProviders) – e.g. your Images, Tables and Conversations – to other apps and define their own permissions[1] for them.

Remote Work: How the alternative has become the new norm
Netflix is bigger than the nascent game streaming market and more apple users (including me) expect to be able to use it. If they told netflix "we have to approve each movie and tv show on your service, and possibly take revenue from you on a per-video basis", then netflix would walk and would be smart to do so because it's pretty likely apple would come up the loser in that fight. Again, huge number of users, existing expectation of the status quo (i can stream from netflix on my device) from those users. Game streaming is new and not yet established to the general user base. Apple is in a huge position of power relative to game streaming and is using that to get the best possible deal.

As a devoted apple product user, these kind of behaviors really worry me. I understand that this is normal behavior for powerful organizations, but apple is making the user experience worse for money. I don't see how that ends well.
And the reason for this is surprisingly technical: Medical journals from all statistics and mathematics available in the world only accept randomised double-blind trials.

Now try and find a reference population of people with "skill and desire to train breathing techniques to improve their health". Administer half of those people a "placebo" technique, where both the trainer and the subject are convinced they are working on the "correct breathing technique". Measure the improved health condition. Deliver "statistically significant results" showing how the placebo group improved less than the actual test group.
Spotify reached that threshold for me two years ago. I started seeing 1 in every 20 or so liked tracks go away.
