I don't know how to respond to this comment, since it's orthogonal to my understanding of PFOF (and for that matter the understanding of people like Matt Levine).

Market makers don't buy retail order flow to get an edge over retail investors. They seek it out because it's safer to trade with --- retail investors, unlike hedge funds, tend not to follow up their 100-share orders with huge numbers of subsequent hundred-share orders. Safer means cheaper. Market makers chop up the cost savings with brokerages, which is where the payment comes from.

What rings true to me --- for whatever that's worth to you --- is that Robinhood influences its user behavior in ways that are bad for its users and generally good for the firms who execute its trades. Of course, that's true of anything that gets users trading more, which, of course, is something users should not be doing.

Robinhood is bad! It's just not bad due the conspiracy theory Taibbi invokes. What's frustrating is that he's been saying this for awhile, and he's had plenty of time to investigate and build some understanding of how the market is structured. Matt Levine can explain it, entertainingly, to a lay person in just a paragraph or two. Taibbi simply doesn't care, and counts on you not caring either.

I don’t buy that for a second, except in a very narrow sense that individual Congresspeople don’t by themselves. They can certainly tap an existing source of that capability. They oversee a fair amount of such apparatus.

A government can print money, however the very value of it will decrease because there will be more money for the same amount of products to buy, and inflation will quickly offset the effect of this newly printed money. Moreover many citizens, especially those who have savings, hate inflation and will fight against such a trend. Taxes and various other "resource extraction" also are limited because more and more citizens will fight against such measures, up to deliberately reducing their income or living the country.

A business can in a way "print money" and "extract resources" by raising its prices. In many trades their customers will remain customers because switching would be more expensive. But there is also an obvious limit there: the amount of prospects will decline and at a given point more and more customers will depart.
My partner and I are Jewish and gay. Salt Lake has a small, tight-knit community of the former and a large, diffuse community of the latter; though we haven't been socializing because of the pandemic. The Latter-day Saints we've met have been unfailingly kind and welcoming to us, which is surprising given how they were characterized to us before we moved. Do I expect the more observant of them to welcome us in? Not really. But they've been the best neighbors. A group of them recently volunteered time and money to help landscape Salt Lake's synagogue [0].

> when essentially the _entire_ left wing of the Democratic party has been making claims like these for 4 years.

Clinton conceded the day after the 2016 election. The democrats have been saying that it is bad to solicit aid from a foreign power to help you win an election through social media campaigns and hacking email accounts. That's wildly different than "actually I got the most votes in relevant states and really should be president".
Another apples to oranges comparison. OP should have compared each systems' TPU not GPU. He should redo the benchmark with a proper setup as requested in the comments here and on Medium, otherwise his post is quite misleading.

To facilitate Nvidia's tensor cores OP had to use Nvidia's own TF distr./image and configure it explicitly. Something PyTorch does out of the box. Nobody knows why Google doesn't do this, maybe they want to push their own Cloud TPUs.

> Adding PyTorch support would be high on my list.

Won't happen. PyTorch needs Apple's help bc of the lack of docs, they've asked already and Apple hasn't commented or promised any kind of support, nothing. That they've chose TF instead of the current market leader doesn't give me too much hope and might come from backroom deals we don't know of.

The state attorneys general of 17 states have filed amicus briefs in a case, in some cases over the public objections of their Republican governors. They're all supporting a grift run by the President --- you know it's a grift, because substantially more than half of the hundreds of millions of dollars he's raised isn't going to the lawsuits. It's no surprise that feckless Republican officials in heavily-Republican states are willing to kowtow; the President has deluded his true believers into a frenzy, and they don't want those people outside their house at 1AM. I'm fine if Google "censors" them. This is what Parler is for.
The actually have metrics for things such as dividedness and unrest. I wouldn’t be surprised they could do an analysis on propaganda.

Also, not asking right wing “news” orgs to be fact checkers or having GOP operatives override content policy team decisions regarding misleading stories that were reported by users would be another great way to reduce “propaganda”.

If it's anything like Tennessee USA the reason is because they know the numbers aren't bad.

Earlier this year dining was shut down in Tennessee USA. A reporter was sent leaked e-mails from the mayor's office saying that only 80 cases could be traced back to restaurants. A week later restaurants and bars fully re-opened because they could no longer hide the justification to close them. [1]

So many people committed perjury that the Plaintiff's discarded the ones that were obviously spam. Some unknown number of affidavits were discarded by Trump's legal team that were acquired in exactly the same manner.

Their star witness claimed that there was an error of 100k in the books when an error of 30k (necessary to swing the election) wasn't found during review. When challenged on that point she claimed the Republican was in on it. Whatever it is.

No claim has been made of general election malfiance. All accusations are specifically about the presidential election. How and why would you rig only a presidential election? You can't do that by merely rescanning ballots.
I don't see the distinction you're making. There are plenty of differences between the two scenarios, but "only one of those is a claim that the election is illegitimate" is not one of the differences IMO.

This explains a lot of the weirder suggestions I got in college. People I had done a group project with, but never communicated with outside of in-person, would show up as suggestions all the time.

> Where is the line for you when a threat of violence is equivalent to violence?

The line is "imminent lawless action" [1], with case law clarifying that "advocacy of illegal action at some indefinite future time" is not considered "imminent" (and therefore protected free speech). It's a pretty clear line, and one that most of the censored material being discussed objectively does not cross.

Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc. are within their rights as private companies to enforce content rules as they wish, but these recent censorship actions have strong implications as to their protections under Section 230, and are alarming insofar as they represent a trend that crosses the line of free speech protections normally recognized by the government and content platforms.

There is a decent chance that COVID was an accidental release from the Chinese research lab, just as SARS was released accidentally from a Chinese research lab in Beijing - on two separate occasions. These releases were confirmed by the PRC. [1]

To be clear there's not specific evidence or an admission in the case of COVID, just saying there's clearly established, documented precedent.

("By ‘bioerror’, I mean something which has the same effect as a terror attack, but rises from inadvertance rather than evil intent." -- an accidental release would of course fit this bill).

Targeted misinformation campaigns are capable of destroying freedom just as easily as any authoritarian government -- in fact the former is always a tool of the latter. Therefore I can rephrase your last sentence as "Freedom is great, but it comes at the cost of freedom."

People choose to consume alcohol knowing it will get them drunk. People do not choose to be lied to. A better analogy is saying that the government should not attempt to regulate what companies put in the food they sell, because then I must believe individuals aren't capable of self-determining what is or is not safe for them to eat. Correct: I do not believe in "buyer beware" for food nor for facts.
I'll flip the question around. Had Trump won, would the Democratic party be publishing content like this with the same lack of evidence?

I just listened to 4 years of CNN, MSNBC, and virtually every other media outlet claiming that the previous election was rigged, with similarly sparse evidence. So yes, not only do I believe that they would, but they have already done it, 24/7, for the last 4 straight years.

> Is there an actual case that's raising this argument?

There are several cases, but off the top of my head I can give you Trump v. Raffensperger [1] filed in the superior court of Fulton County, state of Georgia. Beginning around paragraph 139 of the petition, you can see arguments that the Trump legal team have brought which talk about various violations of state mandates regarding signatures.

> I can't see a signature "verification" law as anything but an attempt at disenfranchisement

You may argue that these laws or mandates could disenfranchise some voters, but I think it's unfair to suggest that it's their sole (or even primary) purpose.

> make sure everyone votes

Even in countries where voting is mandatory you do not get full voter turnout. There would certainly be enough left over to turn the tide of many elections.

I get if you feel that aesthetics are a deliberate adoption only of those kool aid drinkers and "idiots", but that viewpoint probably just contributes to how you can't see that aesthetics and medium are a thing, that people expect but are unaware of. Because you wouldn't want to see yourself as a kool aid drinker or idiot, right. Meaning you're blind to it's effects, which I'm not saying makes you say idiot. This dynamic happens everywhere. It's similar to how people choose familiarity, over what "objectively" is better. What you said matches what I'm saying about it. People can tell when something is slow and clunky, or slick and snappy, and while they may praise, or rail, it doesn't mean they will think slick and snappy works better, or feel more comfortable using it. This is why those big softwares don't violate your implicit expectations that they are slow and clunky.

Another thing is just because people complain (about their enterprise software, or country, or house, or romantic partner) does not mean they would switch. And just because they praise your slick and snappy startup enterprise app doesn't mean it will solve their problem better, doesn't mean they'll feel more comfortable using it, and doesn't mean they'll buy it.
You can sprinkle react components into your regular templates which is quite nice. A full blown SPA feels like way overkill (for my own projects, at least) when Rails handles forms and navigation so much better. You can include packs on a per page basis so it doesn't slow down / bloat the rest.
'It's an important skill to independently discern the likely from the unlikely on your own, but any idea repeated often enough becomes "truth", and it's an important function of society to recognize fake truths and purge them.'

Prove that an important function of society is fake truth purging. And define truth. How big are the fake truths, how much damage do they cause, and how expensive is it to disprove them? If a young child claims that the temperature of a hydrogen atom 52 light years away is 0.1K, but in reality it is 0.01K, shall we:

A. censor the child to stop the spread of misinformation
B. print 8 billion flyers to correct anyone who may have overheard the child
C. put teams of MIT scientists to run experiments to determine the most recent temperature of the atom
D. ignore it
E. claim it's 0K according to god's will

In a more practical example, most people are probably split between C, D and E. The C people might land on the moon sooner, the E people might be more fulfilled. D is watching their son's soccer game. Who is "right"?

Acquiring the true "truth" has a cost, and that cost may be too high, and until we have a proper document from god detailing the worth of each person, we can't know who should live and who should die. If we don't produce enough food, somebody will starve. Who should starve? Perhaps the person with the highest metabolism, to spare as much food as possible. Perhaps the dumbest, to ensure future generations aren't crippled and the problem gets solved quicker. Perhaps the meanest, to spare future conflict. Or perhaps future conflict is good, to weed out the weak. "Truth" might mean maximizing human potential, which could imply minimizing human "drag". Spray peanut dust in stadiums! Shoot people who wear glasses! Gene edit everyone to be 9 feet tall! Kill everyone and create and feed a world-spanning singular ultra-brain (skynet?), for _IT_ shall determine "truth".

The word "truth" almost has a political bias to it, belonging to the party of science-people. I say that with a straight face as someone familiar and trusting of mathematics. It's great that we can build F-22s and nukes with it, but, maybe we were better off worshipping Zeus. Actually, people are a relatively new thing, and the main spreaders of "lies". Perhaps the universe was "truer" before people came around. Perhaps birthing a child is to "lie".

And what is the endgame? What happens after our perfect system of rationalism solves every known fact and theoretical possibility in the entire universe? Did we win? Is our final score 42?

Truth is a lie.

> Clinton conceded the day after the 2016 election.

That's immaterial. YouTube's censorship restrictions have nothing to do with a formal concession, merely claims of fraud impacting the election. And identical claims of election tampering resulting in a "fraudulent electioin" have been ongoing by Democrats on MSNBC, Twitter, Facebook, CNN etc. for 4 years.

So we're now in a boat where Google/YouTube is essentially arguing they're qualified to make judgements on defending election integrity in the U.S.

It has nothing to do with policy consistency, and everything to do with who the people are who work there.
I would definitely advise against webpacker. It's very much the case of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. The two don't work all that well together, despite the pretty heroic work done by the webpacker team.

For an "idiot proof", batteries included, zero config approach, I would try out Parcel: https://parceljs.org/getting_started.html You just pass it an HTML file and it figures out what it needs to build from there. You can drop everything in /public/ and it all just works without any additional installs or fiddling. It works with pretty much anything you might drop in as an asset, whether it's via HTML tag or import statement.

As a close second, you can try esbuild: https://esbuild.github.io/ It's coming along and already does a lot of what you might do with Parcel or Webpack, but is stupendously fast. Fast enough that you'd need to be shipping an obscene amount of code to the browser to have build times exceed 1 second. It's a little more quirky right now, but I like it and appreciate the forward momentum it has right now.
Both things are true.

Hispanics are set to become the largest racial demographic soon. ~13% of the population is black.

Houston is one of the, if not the depending on the report, racially diverse cities in the country. It's a bit self segregated geographically, but is pretty impressive and there is a lot of culture to be found. Large Asian community with substantial communities from countries that don't really exist elsewhere in the state.

The state is also more or less purple outside the voting booth. Major metro areas have higher concentrations of liberals. Etc etc.

Pretty much a microcosm of the USA.
> It shocks me that so many people want to run Docker on a platform it was never built for.
