Once again a thread about censorship invites comments that ignore the nuance of the situation. Having companies dictate what information is widely accessible is dangerous for democracy. Having the sitting president make completely baseless claims in an effort to delegitimize the results of an election because it didn’t go his way is also dangerous for democracy. That’s what we call a tricky situation. We don’t have an easy solution.
This is an absurd and breathtakingly dangerous argument. No, we don't expect people to inspect their own cake flour. But we do expect them to be able to evaluate the facts relevant to the basic political participation of voting. What you're advocating for is a kritarchy, with "reputable media" as the judges.
Good for them to cash out now- the food delivery model is at peak right now, and the fees are starting to reach a sustainable level that is turning customers off. Customers are learning the hard way that some food doesn’t travel well, and other food just isn’t worth the high delivery fees.

It was great while it lasted but until more VC money floods in the land grab is over and it’s going to be a long, hard slug to keep a margin and keep these businesses profitable.

Stackdriver was acquired: https://techcrunch.com/2014/05/07/google-acquires-cloud-moni...

The problem is that single-entrance is very valuable for ease-of-discovery. But complete integration / unification is just too difficult for something already present since they may simply use a totally different tech stack. Re-writing may not be justified by ROI.

For those kind of "separate parts", I can easily mention a few: 1. Stackdriver (acquired). 2. Cloud Data fusion (acquired, formerly cask.io) 3. BigQuery (predate GCP) 4. DataPrep (partnership)
isn't that literally what property taxes are?
Your own article disagrees with you:

> The committee's findings are a more in-depth look at the interference than Mueller's investigation, but the findings run parallel to the conclusions of Mueller's probe, which found overwhelming evidence of Russia's efforts to interfere in the election through disinformation and cyber campaigns but a lack of sufficient evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to impact the outcome of the 2016 election.

Mueller didn't indict a single US citizen for conspiring with Russia.

It didn't happen.

I think only the other browsers need a polyfill. I just opened the dev console in Chromium and started typing `CSS.paintWorklet` (part of the proposed CSS Paint API) and it's available.
A deb file is just an ar archive of 2 tgzs, one with metadata and one with the actual files.

Now, the tools that build them are a whole different kettle of fish.

Plus some stuff is really old school, ar is an archive format that nobody has used on its own since 1996, it's a sort of transparent bundler/archiver à la tar, I think it was originally used to bundle .so file into a bigger package but still have the symbols inside visible. I don't really remember all the details, it's been a while since I looked into .deb packages.

I think the main problem is that Debian is not a commercial project and it shows sometimes. The tooling is kind of "hidden" (you have to poke around the distribution, mailing lists, etc. to figure things out) and the processes are kind of the same thing. The docs on the site are ok in some regards but they're far from complete and up-to-date.

Meanwhile the Dockerfile format is reasonably well documented and the tooling is also quite straightforward. You can see that a company made it for a while its raison d'être and wanted to make it easy to use.
Publicly traded, but still a private company. "Public" in this context is referring to something being, or acting like, the government.
So, no. It’s not already usable and there are no complete alternatives you can point to.

You speculate that Amazon may have an internal framework for this, but so what? Even if your guess was correct, that’s not AOSP, and it’s not open.

Your statement that AOSP ‘already does’ this simply isn’t true.

It seems like you don’t distinguish between things that are possible in principle, and things that are actually true.

In Germany displays of Nazi symbols are forbidden, as well as any political expression that incites violence against a specific race or religion. I can readily believe than in an alternative reality where they were not forbidden, the Nazi movement would be alive and well (not that there is absolutely no Nazis in Germany, but I bet there would be many more, and in power, were it not for suppression and censorship)
Is it still unusual for a home to have an IPV6 address?

"Pretty hard to like a city where a non-trivial portion of the residents are hating on you and blaming you and others like you for many problems of their own doing."

>Who's fault is it that the conserative movement has become more and more detached from facts?

This is a very interesting subject. I read an article like: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/26/opinion/republican-disinf...

The interesting thing is that the assertion is that the right-wing have been detached from reality. An epistemological crisis wherein the the blame is on the internet. Thus we have situation where Internet entities like Youtube and Twitter are actively censoring right-wing views. While allowing left-wing misinformation.

So the way forward to fixing wrong-think is to deprive people of viewpoints? This doesn't seem quite right.

What's also quite interesting, it's the left-wing who are at odds. The median democrat has moved left and has created a political divide.

Makes me wonder if perhaps it's not the rightwing who became detached from reality.

If the left-wing are the ones detached. Then their need to censor other viewpoints to maintain their bubble makes complete sense.
Binary decision diagrams (BDDs) have been a big deal in electronic design automation (EDA); many of the BDD developments have happened as a result of the applications in EDA.

Managers can be uncomfortable giving feedback / advice on what your short on! I remember asking a manager to give me tips on what I could improve on or what I'm short on in a 1:1 and he was visibly uncomfortable when I did. He did give me pretty good reviews in general although.
Facts haven't influenced their narrative one bit. The "overturn the election" effort is about 1-51 in the courts, across states, Federal levels, and partisanship of judges.

There's a point where enough is enough, and a blatantly dishonest treasonous war on the very fabric of the government is over the line.
That's not the point. The point is that separating people based on their beliefs is nothing new, and generally frowned upon by history.
Google can either do this or fix the American public school system and wait a couple decades. One seems easier than the other.
Traditionally, it's been extremely reconcilable. News agencies had a responsibility to be more accurate than not. The government itself keeps a very hands-off approach to that information flow, and the people reward papers that succeed with subscriptions and eyeballs. This detente is why the media has traditionally been referred to as "The fourth estate."

Unclear what the solution is as that system breaks down because the subscription-free ad-fueled Internet dwarfs the traditional model.

Precisely. Youtube is a hosting service first and foremost but increasingly it is used as the propaganda arm of some of the most despicable entities in politics who are aiming for the audience, not the hosting as their main reason for dumping content there. They are freeriding on the youtube brand and do incalculable damage to some very precious concepts and societal structures.
So in your case “pretty anti-censorship” means censoring what you don’t agree with is fine?

“election fraud conspiratorialists” seem to have a case in court. It’s up to Supreme Court to decide whether something is true or not, not youtube.

About them being loud, how can they be “loud” when none of the media is representing their case?

This act of censorship is showcasing very grim future where absolute minority gets to decide what tune whole generations are playing to.
In your own provided source:

"The committee's findings are a more in-depth look at the interference than Mueller's investigation, but the findings run parallel to the conclusions of Mueller's probe, which found overwhelming evidence of Russia's efforts to interfere in the election through disinformation and cyber campaigns but a lack of sufficient evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to impact the outcome of the 2016 election."

Your own source literally disproves what you're claiming.

I'll say it again, from your source:

"lack of sufficient evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to impact the outcome of the 2016 election."
What do you think is hypocritical about not believing the rights of the individual should automatically translate to businesses? It seems obvious that they should not.

Without being a free version of RHEL, nobody would have bothered with CentOS. There was White Box Linux back then. Maybe this would give another chance to that forgotten project.
It's interesting to me that YouTube doesn't have any credible broad competitor. The only real competition is very small subsets of what YouTube does, things like Twitch and Vimeo. Is it just that YouTube gets the high-end Google network/bandwidth at rock bottom cost?

There was election fraud and I’m happy to link you some concrete evidence if you don’t believe me. That’s not the issue though. The issue is whether there was coordinated, systemic, and purposeful electoral fraud. That’s a much more difficult question to answer (probably a no lol). I would say that people like you who say that there was 0 electoral fraud are just as ignorant as the people conclusively saying that there was 1000% coordinated systemic electoral fraud.
Ugh. I'm very anti-censorship and I'm right there with you. It's hard to not acknowledge that we have a serious problem - half of the political establishment is hallucinating a different reality, far beyond the normal out of touch hubris pushed by both teams. I believe the raw energy is coming from being fed up with the looting and control by the plutocrats (like everyone), but they're being goaded in a completely nonsensical and destructive direction.

Every semi reputable editor (even Fox!) has put the brakes on this disinformation campaign, but it seems that doing so just makes the people believing it move on to even less credible feeds. Ultimately I think the hallucination can only die down on its own, but on the timescale of several years. Meanwhile the damage is being done right now. I just hope it's all just so Trump can continue grifting and developing political capital to try avoiding jail, rather than some larger plan like deliberately inciting a civil war.

Previously if one ventured into Internet conspiracy theory land, their new belief would be tempered by their social circle. Now whatever wild thing manages to get enough attention also creates its own social proof. We're essentially dealing with a violent mixture of the old and the new where digital non-natives are tuning into raw memetic noise while giving it the trust of the 1990's evening news.

I would be curious to see how this played out in a parallel universe where section 230 had never existed, the MITM business never gained popularity, new media ("tech") companies had to editorialize more like old media, and the anti-establishment action stayed on p2p nets with a higher barrier to entry.
You're comparing a nearly perfectly competitive marketplace (newspapers) with an oligopoly due to network effects (social media). The customer has free choice in the former but very little in the latter.
Just look at what library they are using. Google used to use their industry-leading Closure library that's far better than anything outside Google. Then they flirted with multiple iterations of Angular and Dart and probably something else, but the rest of the industry has caught up and surpassed what Google has to offer.
Does it really matter if some people believe in QAnon?

If enough people decide that the COVID vaccine is important enough for everyone to receive (regardless of their personal beliefs), then that will be codified into law. No need for censorship to try and manipulate public perception.
It's not like Elon held a gun to the legislature to pass those subsidies.

I’ve read 121 books this year, and I read 129 last year. I’ll probably meet or exceed that number this year.

Generally I’m reading at least two books at a time, one non-fiction and one fiction. I tend to listen to the non-fiction books and read the ebook/physical fiction book.

I wake up in the morning, make coffee/breakfast for me and my wife, and read the ebook/physical book while I’m eating. I read whenever I’m in the car (audiobook non-fiction) and when I’m doing simple chores around the house or at work. I recently started reading the audiobooks during my exercise time, so that adds at least an hour a day. If I’m eating alone for lunch I’ll read the ebook/physical book. On days off I’ll read the ebook/physical book as a form of relaxation for a few hours as well. Finally, I read the ebook/physical book every night as I fall asleep. I generally have to go back a page or two the next morning as I might have missed a few paragraphs as I drift off.

I generally boost the speed of the audiobook to as fast as I can deal with (depends on the narration), but I can’t do that with any voices I’m familiar with. I read Obama’s audiobook recently and I kept that at 1X speed.

I’ve been reading the audiobooks for ~3 years, and before that I averaged around 60 or 70 books a year with a range of 50 on the low end to 82 on the high end.

Last year I took notes on all the non-fiction ebook/physical books I read. I haven’t done the same this year and I feel like I’m not missing out on anything, although the notes were useful when trying to find a reference quickly.

I sleep at least 8 hours a night, and I don’t feel rushed in my reading or anything like that. I think what allows me to read so many books is that I have been reading like this since I was a teenager (~20 years) so I read and comprehend quite quickly. The high-speed audiobooks also almost double the number of books and I don’t see a huge drop off in knowledge/usefulness/entertainment. I also don’t really watch TV so this is my main form of entertainment, along with movies a few times a week.
Hard to believe. FE devs will be evaluating and hiring other FE devs for all purposes, so this problem shouldn't exist. Besides they did the whole material design research. I agree that their UIs overall just suck though. Don't know what they do wrong, if anything I felt they take an overtly scientific approach to UX which sometimes needs something of an artistic bend.
I this is a good example to bring up. One person sees "Russian Intelligence officer is an associate of Trump's campaign manager, and they worked together on some 'narratives', whatever that means. And if it were something more clearly bad, The Hill would have given a clear explanation.", and another person sees "Definitive evidence of collusion." One person sees a suitcase full of ballots hidden under a table after lying about whether counting was done, another person sees a normal ballot counting process and a misunderstanding.

The same people (YouTube employees) who don't agree with you in the first place are now in the position to decide whether your argument is reasonable enough to make. Nobody is rightly in the position to put guard rails on speculation over events, and I think we'll all be better off when we finally understand this.
I take it you also operate without a spam filter and an ad blocker on account of those being censorship?
See, this is the kind of thing that makes it impossible for me to maintain my general opposition to censorship here. The president is publicly calling for the election to be overturned, reaching out to state governors and asking them to please over turn the election for him - and a lot of smart, well-meaning people are stuck in an information bubble where this is just a legitimate process raising legitimate concerns about election fraud. That has to be addressed, and I just haven't seen any suggestions for popping the bubble other than censoring it out of all the popular places.

I was sympathetic to the ideas floating around in early November, that the issue would go away once we let all the legal processes play out. But they have played out, the votes are all certified, and nothing's changed.
Types of Data Integration: ETL vs. ELT and Batch vs. Real-Time
This isn't censorship. It's YouTube deciding what it wants to host on it's platform. The information is freely available across the media spectrum but it violates YouTubes Code of Conduct so to speak
I suspect that a long-term path out of this sort of thing has two key ingredients:

1) The commoditization of foundry technology.
2) The hardware equivalent of the reproducible build.

The first is necessary for nation-states to feel comfortable building and maintaining national-security infrastructure.

The second is necessary for the rest of us. If we are able to purchase an open-hardware CPU and verify its integrity through hardware/metrology checksums in addition to a software checksum, society will have made a step forward.
The hardware checksums might be expressed through moire-patterning visible in x-rays, for example. The CPUs on which such technology might be developed need not be fancy - if a proof-of-concept works on cheap chips, the extension to the high end is apt to be feasible.
I'd say good riddance. Open core to me always felt more "openwashing" than honest attempt to build free software project/community. Part of the feeling arises from the fact that when teenager me first started learning about foss software, Linux, GNU etc one of the things that made such a great impression was that there was no feature gating, no "enterprise editions", nothing locked away. Instead I had all the power in the world on my fingertips. The idea of being built by hackers for hackers to fill their needs resonated to me a lot, not having marketing or product driven development but scratching your own itches. Open core fits very poorly to that worldview.

edit: This comment might have started out bit harsh, apologies. I did not mean to imply malice on the companies that tried to make open core work, but rather bit of naivete or misunderstanding regarding open source and building business around that.
I wonder if the wealthy leaving California to avoid state income taxes now that the federal government penalizes states collecting it will finally be the impetus it needs to reform it's terrible property tax system.

And make make no mistake, if there's a large outflow of the moderately well off and up out of Califonia in recent years, it's probably because our last Congress capped the state tax deductions they could take.[1] Effectively making Bluer states pay for the most recent nationwide tax break.

Kind of a moonshot, but it's nice to imagine states leaving income taxes to the federal government because of this and just switching to land value taxes.

Some kind of fairer sales tax like a VATS are another alternative, but I hear too much about the trouble people have with them (added bureaucracy, carousel fraud) to actually like the idea.

Thank you for this. I was about to link to a Twitter thread laying out the same reasoning.
Texas is huge. It’s hard to make any sort of generalization. But there are homeless camps in particular places in cities if you go looking; with the weather, it’d be surprising if there weren’t. But from what I understand it’s still not as bad as some places in SF/LA.

All I come in contact with, living in middle income suburbs, is panhandlers at intersections.

Community moderation has completely and totally failed. Giant, enormous lies are being told to half the population without barrier. People who want to believe in a completely fabricated story about election fraud have all their eyeballs can get.

Fine. I get the free speech angle. But... who cares about free speech when democracy is dying in front of us? Free speech was supposed to have prevented this. It made it worse.

I don't have the answer here. But all I can see is people trying to deny the problem.
