In the context of Black Lives Matter, it very much is.

It’s not that you are wrong when you say “All lives matter”, heck I might find my self saying exactly this when I speak out against death penalty or bomb manufacturers.

But when you say this as a response to BLM you are being an asshole. You are saying that I can’t emphasize the importance of black people’s right to life in a society that seemingly to me treats them as lesser.

> 1) why are you defending Facebook?

Because once such laws are enacted they surely will NOT only apply to FB but to all other social networks as well.

Classic "pandora's box".

> 2) Facebook demands and aggressively enforces that your profile represents you and has your real name and other credentials associated with your identity. If your pseudonym gets reported it will definitely get banned.

How does FB doing a bad thing currently justify demanding the government to even one-up them and make it legally mandatory to do that bad thing?

- I was aware of them doing this, and if that were the subject of the discussion I would have in fact demanded that they're legally forced to stop doing it.

> Yes that's true for literally every transaction on the internet when done with a credit card. Not sure why that's a problem.

Did you have to use your credit card to write this post?

Would you be happy to give me your credit card data in real life before I start listening to anything you say there?

> Facebook is a company selling a product. You do not and definitely should not have any "rights" on their private platform. Just like you do not and should not have the right to force a local business to trade with you if they do not want to.

FB has taken possession of a now essentially public space of which the participation therein is a central component of having a social life. Try finding a party or any other kind of event to attend without FB access.

If you take possession of a part of the commons along with that possession comes the duty to provide proper access to the citizens which are reliant upon it.

E.g. if you own a piece of land below which there is an aquifer, the government will force you to provide access to the water so the public can drink.

There is no reason why this should be any different in cyberspace.
I can explain this. Because docker-compose talks to the docker socket and uses the docker protocol. This was the last piece that we nailed with podman. As of Podman 2.0 with the new REST based API with a Docker compatibility layer, we are very close to just being able to use the docker-compose binary to talk to a socket (ran by systemd) which fires up podman.

It doesn't quite work yet today because we are still implementing some of the REST verbs, but it's close. It's definitely a strategic direction for the roadmap. Stay tuned.
This is... Silly.

1) You can look at the 5 eyes alliance's assault on encryption. That's literally forcing their will on the company (and others)

2) The TikTok ban demonstrates not only capacity but an appetite to exert to control over this domain

3) That whole "summon the CEO of the company to directly answer questions from the group of people literally in charge of policies around reform and control"

Or we could sidestep these questions and conflate income with ownership
Why the pretense of nation states and corporations?

Humans run these organizations and humans deflect responsibility for doing anything.

Are you going around gathering a team to free kids in cages? Where is your group that is registering voters to save your democracy? What does Myanmar have to do with non-citizens? Why does the West think the world is their snow globe to ogle?

I have a hard time feeling like this can approach anything resembling honest debate if we’re going to point at the behavior of ephemeral, external objects and ignore how we individually organize our daily life.

You bow to the common time economy. Being good at rhetorical debate is, to me, nothing more than indifferent humans equivocating and deflecting with themes that sound good but mean nothing.

Focus on your society and culture. More often value comes of it.

That's really great, happy to hear.

I didn't mean to refute what you shared. In fact I was reinforcing some of your points. Doing things the cheap way is arguably the best way. Learning new tech while building is good, but I wouldn't recommend new tech to build a SaaS.

My concern was copycats. Some starters reading your post may have this feeling that "because Panelbear did it with Clickhouse and Kubernetes and Django, that's the only way to do it." What it really should read is "because Panelbear used what he knew best, he was able to focus on getting customers; that's the only way to do it."

As if "democratic" excludes the corrupt. Some of the most corrupt, destitute and backwards countries in the world are democratic.

Show me one non-corrupt place on earth. I'm in a mood for a good laugh.
You're right. And you got me thinking about just why MJF might not have just straight up admitted to cocaine or amphetamine use during those times (especially now as he presents a more tempered tone as he faces his own mortality). Back to the Future was his first movie and he has said that the grueling process was "worth it"(it basically launched the career that he moved to hollywood seeking). If he ever publicly stated that drugs helped him succeed, it would come off as an endorsement. This was the first article where I've seen him say he "smoked a lot of pot" and had a drinking problem and it may just be that those admissions are more generally accepted now (and without the same 'drugs are bad' stigma.)
The 2080 Max-Q only exists in ~$3000 gaming laptops. Poor battery life, 4lb+ laptops.

I have an ASUS Zephyrus G14.

1680g(3.7lb) as checked just a minute ago using a kitchen scale. I don't know about battery life because I capped the charging at 80% and it still lasts a whole day of normal usage if need be. MSRP ~$1,500 in the US.

I don't think it's remotely so simple.

If you compare it to the Ryzen 4xxx mobile CPUs it checks out - performance increase is roughly as expected given the difference in feature size.

"Programming is too important to be left to the programmers."

I believe we owe the vitality of the software business to the fact that we never rationed, or maintained gatekeepers for, software development.

Ask HN: Is open source licensing source controlled?
It’s kind of a poorly phrased question, but it’s hard to fit the full context into the title, let me explain a bit first.

Let’s say you have a publicly visible codebase with no licensing in that source whatsoever.

When you add a license, is the codebase “licensed going forward” or does the code at the revision behind the “added license” commit not have the license applied?

Similarly, curious what happens if the license is changed.

I’d imagine there aren’t really strict rules here, and it’s about how good of a lawyer you have to defend yourself (in whichever direction benefits you), or maybe there are some actual rules I don’t know about!

——

Oh one quick follow up question: licensing per-file vs licensing per codebase. I imagine it mirrors distribution 1:1 but am curious if there is more context on this as well!

This is not so much a flip but probably the closest thing to a meaningful 'reversal' compared to the other ones in thread so far.

Obviously distancing is the best possible option we have right now. If we could perfectly distance from each other for 2 weeks, we would eradicate the virus altogether. Unfortunately, this is not feasible, if we also want to maintain society as is.

The "most of your response time is spent waiting on the DB" assumption might not hold for your app. Even if you actively push work to the DB to reduce network bandwidth or something, your workload might fundamentally be comprised of small, easy-to-optimize units of work that the DB handles without any issues.

That said, hundreds of milliseconds sounds slow by an order of magnitude or more for html rendering, even if all the work is done in a batteries-included framework for a dynamic language, and it doesn't jive with my Python experience at all. Do you mind me asking what kinds of tasks are taking that much time?
Volunteer-driven health research has solved all zero major pandemics of the last century.
You probably don't know how the US system works. The only access that is guaranteed by law is to emergency services. If you don't have a paid insurance (through your employer or yourself), then you cannot access preventive care or otherwise normal medical consultation. Millions of people in the US don't have access.

For example, if someone needs to treat cancer, it doesn't make any good to go to an emergency unit: they will discharge the patient as it is not an emergency situation.

A nice advantage of having a TextField with a check constraint, instead of a varchar, is that the locks required in Postgres to change the check constraint are less extreme than the ones required to change the length of varchar.

With a check constraint, we can use `NOT VALID` with a separate `VALIDATE` call, while a change to the varchar length requires an `ACCESS EXCLUSIVE` lock.

The amount of time you spend in focused attention with your child is directly related to your child's experience of being a child, as well as their overall development, and your memories of them as a child.

Like the other poster said - there are only so many Christmases that are magic.

But to take it further - there are only a finite number of developmental milestones, and your time and energy and attention absolutely have an impact on those milestones (barring a disability or something like that).

For example - our oldest started speaking in (hilariously speech impedimented) full sentences at 12 months. People wondered if he was a genius baby.

No, he's pretty average in terms of raw computing power. We spent an ENORMOUS amount of time with him as a baby, just talking. We narrated everything we did. We spoke to him as a human person, instead of babbling back at him like a lot of people do. We described the steps of everything we did. We explained the reasons for what we were doing as we were doing it.

That focused, invested time had a clear, and definite impact on the child's development.

And that's not even talking about the benefit for our mental health when engaging in a substantive manner with that tiny weirdo.

> This whole Tether speculation / hit piece is basically people thinking "It's implausible people want to buy bitcoin on the largest bitcoin exchanges".

This whole Tether speculation / hit piece is basically people thinking it's implausible that people are physically capable of redeeming Tether for USD, ever. Not a single audit has ever been conducted - except for one that was started and then the auditor literally quit half way through. If you begin there, the rest all falls into place.

Come on, you've got a super shady organization based somewhere between a virtual office in Hong Kong and a corporate entity in the BVI. [0] Who pretended not to be involved with Bitfinex until the Paradise Papers showed it to have the same principals. [1] Who lost banking access repeatedly - being cut off by Wells, before issuing a letter that they were now banked in Nassau, Bahamas with Deltec that Deltec then denied ("The bank previously declined to confirm any relationship with Tether when reached"). [2] For about as long as I can remember they promised to release an audit, but of course, their most recent auditor literally walked out once they got a peek under the covers [3]. Then when Bitfinex (care of Panamanian company CryptoCapital) had $850M seized they just transferred it from whatever mattress is keeping Tether funds and left Tether with an IOU [4]. And are now the subject of 5 or 6 ongoing investigations and lawsuits, most significantly by SDNY [5].

If I didn't have sources for all this you'd think this was the most absurd conspiracy theory ever. It's all true, though, and what sane person could possibly believe $2B of fresh new money is making its way to their big ol' Bahamian mattress?

Bitfinex is a massive fraud, and Tether is a massive fraud, it's plain to see for anyone willing to take a quick peek.

> There's this thing called "cash". There are (and have been for at least a century) ways to transfer it from place to place, even electronically, in a mostly anonymous way - as mobile minutes, through western union, etc. The farther it has to go, the easier it is to track, but locally, it takes non-trivial effort to track transfer to the point that governments mostly do it when they actually have a reason rather than "just because".

You are right that this COULD be designed in an anonymous way, e.g. with cryptocurrencies, sure :)

It is however naive to believe that governments will actually do that if citizens allow them to require payment for social media access.

It will very certainly wind up being trackable.

> Well then, you're doing it wrong. You are violating FB's "real name" terms of service. And also, rest assured that almost everyone of the people you've talked to on Facebook has de-anonymized you, by having your real name in their address book somewhere which they uploaded to FB/WhatsApp/Instagram knowingly or unknowingly.

That only applies if I tell my real name to any of those people, which I don't.

> If you care about your privacy, get off facebook.

It is impossible to get off of FB without being denied access to things which are a central part of social life, e.g. events.

> > To not become a fascist country, you cannot regulate social media access.

I'm sorry, my wording was imprecise!

Let me correct it please: To not become a fascist country, you have to regulate social media, but you MUST NOT deny access to it.

Why has Google Translate become so bad?
For the past year, I've noticed Google Translate becoming worse and worse. Every single time I search for what I know is a false friend, Google Translate systematically returns the obviously wrong translation.

The last examples I have are the followings:

- I searched "faux-ami" in English, and Google Translate returned "fake friend" instead of "false friend"

- I searched "en deux temps", knowing that "in two times" was not correct, and it obviously returned the wrong translation again.

All of this while proudly displaying a "Validated by contributors" badge with a shield.

I don't remember Google Translate being so bad in the past, what has happened? It has switched from a reliable translator for phrases and idioms to an unusable piece of garbage. Do we have insights on this?
Thanks for replying, and yes that is the page about which I have questions.

* The error code C2006 assumes there is a clear divide between "smaller" and "larger" strings. What is smaller, and what is larger? Is 1000 large? Is 5000 large? Is 1000000 large? If I want my comment to be capped at 5000 characters to encourage healthy discussions but prevent spamming, is it large?

* If a field has no "known format" and that's where it draws the line between CharField and TextField, then why is the error C2006 still raised when TextField(max_length=5000) is used? Why does the validator recommend allowing anyone to insert entries of unlimited size?
That appears like a reactionary re-interpretation of the concept of an Overton window. Usually the concept is used to explain how previously unthinkable ideas can become mainstream. For example fascist ideas. Facebook was used to expand the range of "acceptable" ideas, perhaps even to the point where they´ve become mainstream.
