Its still censorship, but i see what you are getting at.

> Stopping that message from spreading to more people seems like a more effective approach

Your example would be stopped whether true or false, as it would likely be the wealthy in charge of whats deemed true.
The source article is about countries forcing ISP-level bans on accessing certain sites, while the parent comment is about misinformation. Nobody's blocking gambling content, pornography, or Match.com because they're worried about misinformation.

I did like how you can use Tachyons as a raw stylesheet without complicating your build process.

However, tachyons is even worse than Tailwind in that it offers far too few classes for margins, padding, widths, etc. so you end up having to build everything custom anyways.

And you can't just "try" one of these frameworks once or twice, you have to memorize their particular syntax or you lose all of the benefits of using them. After spending hours learning tachyons syntax and googling about 17,000 times, I had forgotten the tailwind way. And when I went back to tailwind I had to google every time I wanted to add a style again.

Ultimately, CSS frameworks don't save you time unless you pick 1, customize it to your needs, and do front-end stuff full-time so you don't forget the syntax.
I honestly think you should stop trying to read minds. You aren't very good at it.

Perhaps you should try reading my words instead and responding to them rather than the imaginary things you pretend I actually think? It might work out better.
I wonder how charge evaporates from a charged black hole? And does it do so at a rate that is different from the mass? i.e. does most of the mass evaporate away, and then the charge?
> Because Disney has not responded to his legal team.

This really has no bearing on whether or not to file a lawsuit. If that was the case, the best way to deal with any lawsuit is to simply ignore it. File a suit and Disney has to respond.

On the other hand, they certainly can delay this. Even if penalized for doing so, what's that to them? I suspect public pressure is the real motivation here.
Wasn't it the past employees that actually created that value?
We have two design systems at Draftbit that utilize tailwind and it’s great.

Censorship is now also called "fact checking" on social media platforms.
By this logic, shouldn't police and nurses that have to deal with similar things also get paid more?
SFFWA is a well known professional organization, that has been around a long time, why would one not accept the gravity and import of this news conference and announcement? I mean, the details are plainly presented! Is any institution to be trusted or taken at face value? Are we all to be completely bereft of common sense and decency in face of such rampant equivocating and hand waiving!

Splinter of the minds eye may not have been the best novel, have mercy please!
I wonder why Pine64 has no love to requite Mobian's. It should be as good a platform for KDE as Manjaro.

Mobian is showing PinePhone an awful lot of love, so there is a lot to requite.
Disney have a lot of very expensive lawyers, and the author sounds like he may not be able to afford to go up against said lawyers given the reason stated for pressing the issue now is that he needs to pay medical expenses.
No need for the snark. The part that was puzzling me is clarified by the courts evidently not being involved yet.

Whatever your views on the particular case being blogged about below, it is widely regarded as being hugely important for the freedom of journalists and journalism. In fact I haven't heard the argument that it isn't, if there is one at all. I've also seen nothing to suggest that the below is some kind of bold fabrication. If you're not worried by it, you probably should be. Whenever you hear "They can't be trusted to analyse and come to the correct conclusion." Means _you_ can't and won't get the chance. Make up your own mind is difficult advice to follow when you're not allowed the information on which to do so.

>Even my blog has never been so systematically subject to shadowbanning from Twitter and Facebook as now. Normally about 50% of my blog readers arrive from Twitter and 40% from Facebook. During the trial it has been 3% from Twitter and 9% from Facebook. That is a fall from 90% to 12%. In the February hearings Facebook and Twitter were between them sending me over 200,000 readers a day. Now they are between them sending me 3,000 readers a day. To be plain that is very much less than my normal daily traffic from them just in ordinary times. It is the insidious nature of this censorship that is especially sinister – people believe they have successfully shared my articles on Twitter and Facebook, while those corporations hide from them that in fact it went into nobody’s timeline. My own family have not been getting their notifications of my posts on either platform.

> The move on Wednesday aligns the Pentagon with the congressional intent for the top special operations civilian. In the fiscal year 2017 National Defense Authorization Act, lawmakers ordered the Pentagon to raise the assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low intensity conflict to a service secretary-like job and report directly to the defense secretary “for issues impacting the readiness and organization of special operations forces, special operations-peculiar resources and equipment, and civilian personnel management.”

This sounds like little more than bureaucratic i-dotting and t-crossing, as per congressional instruction. Why the post here?
That replacement program was for a different problem, not battery degradation per se but a manufacturing error; The throttling affected other models too (and replaced 6s batteries after enough time I guess).

It's true that battery degradation can't be avoided eventually; but there's a reason why these complaints are rarer on high-end Androids (Also low-end, but it's likely users have appropriately lower expectations for these).
> merely an accident of history that we have general-purpose computing at all [0]

and a good accident. But because it's such a good outcome for society, the society in question _should_ look to create more of this. Like how democracy is a mere accident, but it's a good outcome, and society should work to replicate it and improve it.

If parties under the current system don't stand to benefit, but the over all benefit is greater, then it's a good choice. Apple isn't entitled to own their walled garden - it's not a right. It's their privilege they built, but society can tear it down by decree if tearing it down leads to better outcome for society.
Perhaps that’s because Twitter people are less well-versed in technology and its business models? This move is clearly moving towards a low local maximum.
Am I right in reading 30% of their rev is coming from Peloton? (Control-F “Peloton”)

“Our top merchant partner, Peloton, represented approximately 28% of our total revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and 30% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Our top ten merchants in the aggregate represented approximately 35% of our total revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and approximately 37% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020.”

“For example, the significance of Peloton in our portfolio has increased as a result of consumer spending trends on home fitness equipment, and there can be no assurance that such trends will continue or that the levels of total revenue and merchant network revenue that we generate from Peloton will continue. The loss of Peloton as a merchant partner, or the loss of any other significant merchant relationships, would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects. In addition, an anticipated material modification in the merchant agreement with a significant merchant partner could affect the results of our operations, financial condition, and future prospects.”
My Mac experience started with System 7 and ended with Sierra. I used to be a massive fan, all of my hardware was Apple for decades. I now own zero Apple hardware.

Apple hardware and software was better when it was uniquely Apple. MacOS 8 will always be fondly remembered. Sure it was primitives as can be (cooperative multitasking? Ugh) but the overall experience was unlike computers today.
Yes, I'd recommend building something of your own.

It feels to me like you just don't enjoy big companies. The bigger the company, the more crap you'll be required to pass through.
It's not just tech related, any office job has the same.

Politics, indoctrination, favouritism, corruption, boring tasks.

Don't get me wrong, some small companies can be hell as well, if the founders / first hires are not great. But the bigger the company the higher the chance of finding some of those people who will create a bad environment.

It's often done in good faith, sometimes for personal gain.

Starting your own company will give you the freedom to either run solo or hire people you like, giving you the creative freedom you long for.
I wouldn't recommend going the startup-raise-millions-burn-millions route, chances of success are low and it's a stressful ride.

You don't live in a capitalist system. You live in a hybrid system that is heavily regulated. The way these regulations are agreed on and applied is what really matters. Your comment is not only wrong, it is also rude in that it disallows discussion and can be summarized as "love it or leave it".
Oh, thank you. I didn't realise they were on YT as well. The new website points to somebody else's channel (Tailwind Labs) instead of this one.
Do you have an illustrative case in mind? The claim is it's a slam dunk, I'm trying to understand the basis of the claim.
Oh, thanks! I didn't realise they still had the old site up somewhere.
Goodness -- thank you very much for this potent thread. Good wishes to all your works!
I don't have the answer but I am curious about what You have done to resolve your issue. Did the acupuncture specialist cure you? Did you go back to your doctor and get medication? Are you still suffering?

This is particularly of interest to me as I suffer from PTSD and bad nerves also, I have never heard of acupuncture being a treatment for this and am a bit skeptical of cure all, snake oil like treatments.
Cerebras’ wafer-size chip is 10k times faster than a GPU
Right, so assuming everyone's got dry hands, or comparably dry hands, then you'd expect to see lower fatality rates in the USA (and other countries that use ~110V) compared to countries that use 230-240V.

Does that hypothesis actually align with the data?

I'm struggling to find good figures that spell this out on a region by region basis.

The data are often muddied, f.e. by including lightning strikes, ladders or trucks hitting overhead high-voltage power lines, self-harm / suicide attempts, etc.

For example, some Australian data for a 2-year period [1]

> 55 deaths involving electrical injury - 50 male, 5 female
> 8 were lightning strikes
> 17 were intentional self-harm
> 18 were were due to exposure to other specified electric current

Either way that's about 26 / year out of a population of ~25M ~= 1 per million.

In the USA I'm finding:

> Electrocution is the fifth leading cause of occupational injury death
> 41% of cases involved overhead power lines

Alternatively [3] for USA:

> Electrocution is sixth among causes of workplace deaths
> Electrical hazards cause more than 300 deaths

300 out of a population of ~330M ~= 1 per million

> Disney’s argument is that they have purchased the rights but not the obligations of the contract.

Unless it says that's allowed in the original contract, that's absurd...can't see that holding up in court. Disney is probably banking on using their legal teams to drag it through court and hoping he gives up. Wouldn't be surprised if they're doing this to dozens/hundreds of individuals.
I agree that they're quite important and if they had a general strike, FB would turn into an absolute shit-show overnight, but I also thought that was a bit much.

> No need for the snark.

I'm not being snarky. Legal representatives never have any power whatsoever, whether courts are involved or not, to make you do anything. Only a court has the power to do that.
Surprising that there's no data on Australia here. The Australian government has implemented a ton of [1] regulation/censorship on the internet.

There's also been an [2] anti-encryption law recently passed to give the government unprecedented access to social media accounts and website in the name of national security...

Does it? It shows the accelerated performance vs Metal performance on a generic GPU vs performance on a GPU with dedicated ML units on it. It's not a performance improvement "over Intel", it's a performance improvement "over hardware without dedicated ML acceleration in the new version". There's a similar massive performance gain with the Mac Pro example, showing that the new version being tested is able to leverage GPU power much more effectively.

Comparing the dedicated ML hardware to the generic just-decode-video-and-animate-windows-at-decent-speeds Intel Iris doesn't really prove any performance gain. There's no apples to apples comparison to be made here. If Apple and Nvidia would finally get over themselves, you might be able to make a fair comparison between the M1 and Intel + CUDA. The Intel "pro" laptop they're comparing against only comes with a 1.7GHz Intel CPU and only Intel's mediocre integrated graphics, so I don't see why you would use that version for anything professional related to ML anyway; at best you'd use it to test your pipelines.

All you can conclude from this is that the new M1 chips perform better at TensorFlow than the Intel chips + GPUs in the previous models of Macbook after Apple made a Mac-optimised version that better leverages GPU power.
I think they added a bunch in 2.0, so you may want to double check that.
> cynicism around this is overblown.

it isn't. By making a small concession here, apple prevented the law of society from opening up the walled garden (which is the bestest outcome for all, except for apple).

A corporation only under take actions that it stands to benefit from - it has zero ounce of altruism, even if what it did seem altruistic.

Hello all, I'm Sriram, the first author of this paper. We were inspired by the idea of laser microphones as an audio eavesdropping vector, and tried to find a way to use LIDARs similarly, even though they're not designed for this purpose at all.

In the near future, what I think is scarier is the possibility of executing the same attack through self-driving cars LIDARs. Perhaps this would allow attackers to spy on conversations in cars that are driving beside you or stationary next to you at traffic lights.
>> Her claim is that any solution for the BHIP cannot be falsified, and that strikes me as too pessimistic for two reasons.

No. She said there isn't any data. I know the word falsify has become prominent in the last 15 years or so, but a "theory" that doesn't agree with some real world data is just a hypothesis. In other words a theory needs confirmation in addition to not being falsified. This is where the divide should exist between physics and mathematics. You can have a bunch of cool math, but that's not physics. It's not scientific theory by itself. You can hypothesize that it describes the real world, but until there is confirming evidence that assertion is just mental self-gratification.
I love it. It’s saved me a lot of decision making on my current project.
Twitter users say fleets are ripe for harassment
If they didn't exist, it wouldn't take long before Facebook didn't exist. They'd either lose users hand over fist, or be sued out of existence for illegal content.

That makes them fairly important, in my eyes.
varispeed talks about control and manipulation. That's far broader than misinformation.
I think an even bigger eye opener for me is that we seem to have agreement on both sides that there is bias and it’s creating division, but we don’t see any catalyst for change it. If a true ly neutral news org came out (or exists already) would people give up their biased soap operas for the good of the country?
I am sorry that it appears this way; I truly am not meaning to engage in double speak and really am trying to have a good faith dialogue. I’m not sure how you can remove the act of negotiation for labor unless the labor involved is entirely commoditized. And I’m not sure how to express the elements that make up that negotiation except as opposing interests with more or less power (regardless of whether you wish to label this as “coercive” or “manipulative” which seems to come with its own moral baggage that I am not trying to address).

I guess it could appear that I am engaged in double speak if you believe I am the poster that you originally responded to, but I am not.
The battery degradation is inevitable though.
Librem 5 is fatter and heavier, PinePhone is slimmer but with a smaller battery. You can buy, what, 3 PPs for the price of a Librem 5, with enough left over for 3 or 4 backup batteries, or one PP and dozens.

I can't tell you what the Librem 5 is really like, because they haven't shipped mine yet, but the PP is very, very nice.
Yeah, I'd agree that no-one is, which is exactly why I also think this kind of job should be automated away -- to spare the real humans from having to deal with emotional cancer.

I spent ~6 months working on tech to detect potentially-suicidal people online (which required a lot of manual flagging and review) and it's one of the most emotionally draining jobs I've ever done. It's a weird feeling to think it's an incredibly important job, but not want to recommend anyone ever do it -- that seems like a perfect role for automation to slip in.
> News, human rights and government sites saw a censorship spike in Poland after protests in July 2019

I'm not aware of any site blocking other than unregistered online gambling sites.
If something like that would occur it would be a big news.

Polish politicians are not able to censor polish Internet without causing a big stir - the infrastructure is not controlled by state entities.

Only facebook/twitter are able to do so, because they are in complete control of their microcosm.
Recently fb banned account of a polish politician with 780k followers.
He is a bizzare person that sometimes likes to express edgy opinions or make political attention-grabbing mini happenings.
Nevertheless a major politician was silenced by decision of some employee of polish division of american corporation.

I mentioned that in another comment - it only counts if the individual makes a significant impact on the next generation(s). Hence my original comment about living longer (past reproduction age) not budging the evolutionary aspect.

Evolution has very little to do with individuals. It has everything to do with what gets added or subtracted from the population as a result of its appearance and spread within the population.

I remember the model of the phone I used MMS last, but couldn't remember the exact year. Just looked the model up and I see it's not as old as I thought. It was about 12-13 years ago actually around 2007~2008.

I'm pretty certain I haven't even tried MMS in any other phone since. With blackberries I used their messenger, with Android I used various apps, never MMS. I still use plain SMS occasionally.

I'm on year 3 of my iPhone 8, with 82% battery health. My total talk time is over 36 days, and I probably actively use it for non-talk tasks for 3-4 hours/day.

In my experience, which included managing and oversight of the operations/budgets for BlackBerry, iPhone and Android fleets with 10-50k devices, early battery death is usually accounted for by poor environmental conditions like temperature extremes. The AFRs didn't change in my experience much at all over time, except that legacy BlackBerries would get battery replacements.

The only outlier was failure rates for Samsung Galaxy phones, which was an operational issue (about 40% more failures if memory serves) -- NOT a defect or problem with the phone itself. They were mostly deployed to field workers operating out of cars or outdoors because Samsung allows a much broader operating range. Extreme cold especially would kick the crap out of the Samsung batteries, especially if they keeping them in outer pockets of winter coats or leaving them mounted to vehicles. Apple is conservative with battery management because the public perception cost of any battery issue is nuclear, as anything Apple is a headline. iPhones have strict shutdown temperatures for both cold and heat. (which make them useless in many outdoor work environments)
Forgive me for thinking "kill" and "human" are grade school vocab words with clear definitions. I really don't feel like I'm being too pedantic here (maybe a little, but for good reason).
