hey, thanks for your well articulated noninflammatory comment.

I agree with you on some points but as always there is a lot of nuance to things.

> But what if it’s not as simple as “this side is making everything up, and the other side is 100% honest”.

I don't think there are many absolute truths. Even in science, things that we thought were true change - all the time. It's not about being 100% correct. As far as honesty goes there is always an agenda.

> You could easily turn that argument around and say that the right is going to great lengths to have their evidence investigated, while the left is just trying to make it go away. Surely “energy expended” is not a great metric for judging bullshit.

I disagree. I don't see this as a right or a left issue. I see it as working with each other for an outcome that makes everyone's lives better. Energy expended is a great metric. Can you explain why all Americans had to pay attention all day, every day, to what I would describe as at best a clown? Why not put the American people ahead and do the right thing? Why did we turn an institution that is supposed to be one of the foundations of this country into a reality show?

There is a time and a place to investigate and ask questions and a time and a place to just, you know, accept reality. There was ample time to do this before the elections. Before judging if youtube could of, should of, let's ask ourselves what are the possible outcomes here? You either damage out democracy and freedom or you damage our democracy and freedom. Great choices.

> Don’t get me wrong, though. I’m not making a “free speech” argument. Of course YouTube is free to curate whatever they want to, and competitors are free to provide alternatives for users that want that. THAT is free speech.
My argument was not “YouTube can’t legally do this”, it was more trying to appeal to this notion some folks have that a topic of discussion merely existing is dangerous, and that somehow removing all of that discussion will eliminate that danger.

You are free to discuss whatever you want. We are all free to talk about what we think happened, what should have happened, what is wrong with x and y. The fundamental problem is that when you come into my house and start arguing with me I have the right to kick you out. My house, my rules. Swap my house with youtube. That's all. I didn't attach any moral value of good or wrong to what they did. Content is moderated and "censored" all day, every day and nobody bats an eyelid. But because it's Google (ie BigTech) w/ youtube let's climb on our moral high horse and talk principles.

> Hello tribalism.
You know this but I'll point it out anyway. If you think that all people have the same experience when they google for something or when they watch youtube you're in for a shock. The same machines that censor you, learn what you like and surface content that is similar. We are all already in a bubble.
Yes! I'm bookmarking this repo. As soon as there is a more concrete plan, I will definitely pledge my time to help out.

I hope we all learned our lesson on this one -- let's not get acquired by RedHat/IBM this time around :)

Try quitting Amazon. I haven't ordered anything from them for over a decade. Easy peasy. Oh but my employer uses AWS. Damn. And so do untold websites that I use. Damn. And just this week, I bought something from good ol' BestBuy -- nothing wrong with that, right? Except they now have "marketplace" listings and my purchase was delivered by Amazon. Shit.
Sure. I didn't say anything differently. The parent though was mistaken to believe supermarkets do not have similar structures to Amazon in terms of product placement/promotion. In other words, Apple pays Amazon in some form in order to have Amazon prioritize Apple products based upon user search. Supermarkets are paid by Starkist to get Starkist tuna on the eye-level shelf as opposed to the first shelf from the floor. Starkist and Apple still get paid for products sold, otherwise neither company could exist.
Containers changed the game. 99% of Deno/Go/Rust server software will be running on containers in practice. You're no longer deploying to a system running other programs which may share pages. It's a container, not a process. Dynamic linking in a container is just a vestigial useless step.
Yes, those 3 objectives being:

1. launch and fly to altitude

2. cut off engines and move to horizontal belly-flop profile, controlled using electric-motor powered flaps

3. relight engines to flip to vertical again for landing

Gorhill has already once given the extension away to a person who turned out to be untrustworthy! That fiasco is why we're all using uBlock Origin rather than uBlock, after all. Granted it wasn't for a financial motive, but the outcome was the same.

Set Up OBS Studio for Screen Recording – Step-by-Step Procedure
I'd be more interested if it could also automatically convert between voodoo and actual metric measurements.
Failures point out flaws to be fixed but also stop you from gathering more data through the rest of the experiment. The earlier SN5 had a huge list of failures but at least landed in one piece which meant they could extract data from their equipment, tear down systems to understand how they handled the stresses and strains of the launch, and then they could launch it again to see how their fixes worked.

Thankfully this failure was at the very end instead of, say, twenty seconds into flight or exploding on the launchpad. This way they got to test every subsystem which is phenomenal and about as good of a result as they could have expected. However, the landing system didn’t trigger and they’ll never know exactly why. The engines ate themselves alive and it would have been great to study how it performed in that scenario but now they’re in pieces. The header tank failed to provide enough pressure and it would have been great to test it further. Now they have to comb through the pieces and piece things together like a detective. They learned A TON but it’s definitely better to get it home in one piece.
The comment they’re replying to said “get rid of”. That implies an end-game.
Agreed. Any recommendations of the tools to use? NixOS/Guix come to mind, k8s (thought I have a mixed feelings about it). Anything else worth keeping in mind?

Yes it is. Effectively it takes the "machine" out of the equation entirely. DNS resolution happens between the app and the server without you have any say over it at all.

> shows that Youtube might be doing a good thing in this case.

All youtube did was fan the flames of political division. Imagine after 2016, youtube decided to ban everyone accusing Trump of cheating. Do you think that would make the democrats "see the light"? Or do you think it would galvanize the democrats?

This election is ultimately going to be decided in the supreme court. Not on youtube. Youtube should have just kept out of this issue.

Trump is celebrating this right now because not only does it rile up his base, it makes independents and even some democrats take notice and sympathize with Trump.

Even if youtube had good intentions ( and I'm not sold on that ), they ultimately are damaging the country. But I guess that's why they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
"... unconstitutional..."

A reminder that states are sovereign and don't run their elections according to the Federal Constitution. This whole idea that states can't determine the course of their elections because it's "unconstitutional" is farcical.

This was incredible to see. My wife was fairly concerned about the fast descent at the very end, but I explained how this was merely the first test of this scheme, and that the rocket came extremely close to actually landing. The entire SpaceX team should feel proud of this, from Elon on down. Hell, I'm proud of them.
What's "going on in software" is that most businesses don't want to devote a lot of resources to operating software themselves in the cloud. If you sell popular software and don't provide a cloud service, you are basically opening up an opportunity for somebody else to do it. Public clouds tend to jump on this because it sells underlying infrastructure in addition to the management value add.

OSS companies like Mongo, DataBricks, and Confluent run popular cloud services. They all seem to be doing fine for this reason. I don't see a lot of proof that changing their licensing was a root cause of their success.

I think your point is interesting if not conclusive, and I think your down-voters missed your final paragraph, but I think you're missing something here:

> The counter-measures necessary - hermetically sealed living space, faraday cage enclosure - are so burdensome that only people who currently live in bunkers will implement them for their living spaces.

There are a lot of situations we forbid activity that is difficult to prevent (and sometimes difficult to detect).

Whether trying to use the law to deter here is worthwhile, meaningless, or harmful isn't necessarily clear - but it deserves consideration in addition to outright prevention.
I don't really like this "letter of the law" v "spirit of the law" distinction. "Spirit of the law" means open to interpretation. It is important in any environment for people to be clear how to operate within it, and if any of that is depends on intuition and interpretation, that amounts to a bigger loophole than any carefully examined technicality. The distinction then becomes not what loopholes to exploit but who gets to exploit them. With a "letter of the law" approach it takes a way the ability for arbiters to selectively interpret rules and puts the onus on the engineers of the system to be more careful and thoughtful in creating the environment.

If I can create a Ricardian compiler that can deterministically interpret human language and apply it to machine behavior, maybe the solution is to raise the standards we expect of those that craft our laws. "Spirit of the law" seems to be a cop out excusing sloppy lawmaking and leaving the door open for selective enforcement.
Eh, Sony probably wouldn’t have hustled like CR did and grown it as well as it did. This was in 2013.

I doubt many explicitly pick their destination. But there's definitely a process of diffusion, where people are more likely to settle in jurisdictions amenable to their lifestyle and relocate when they're not. This is especially true for the largely transient community of petty criminals.

I can speak from personal experience here. Our local town had one of the toughest-on-vagrancy laws in the country. Then it go eviscerated in court, and the laws struck down. Without taking a position whether that was a good or bad thing, it's undeniable that the change was near instantaneous. Downtown became swarmed with aggressive panhandlers and park benches filled up with addicts on the nod.

It's not like the homeless in other cities were closely following the local court decisions, then strategically relocated. But by definition transient populations bounce around a lot. In previous times they might pass through before getting hassled, then thinking this place really harshes my mellow, then hightail it out of town. Now they show up, enjoy the good weather, panhandle off the tourists, don't get hassled by the cops, and what used to be a week-long residency turns into a year or two.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

Zuck got around that problem copying competitors lock, stock and barrel and using his monopoly to attempt drive out that competition.

Instagram was under threat by two "It" networks. Both of them ended up being copied in Instagram

You have to install 32bit driver libraries to run steam. On Debian/Ubuntu/Mint it's libnvidia-gl-455:i386 package.

I couldn't run steam after upgrading to 455, and noticed it was because CUDA and some other unofficial display driver PPA in my sources.list was blocking simultaneous 64bit and 32bit install. After removing those, I could install the package again.
You do know of course that the governor of Texas expanded early voting by personal proclomation, right? I suppose other states which did not have early voting, or a shorter window, can now claim TX has created substantial illegal votes by similar 'equal protection' arguments. Likewise, I believe one of the states that filed amicus briefs allowed counting of ballots days longer than did PA.
One of my favorite characteristic of Rails community is there is less to non-existence of superiority of paradigm nonsense. Since I switched to other languages/frameworks, discussion around Slack/forum is plenty of non-realworld usage .. great engineering (without user interaction). It's painful when you want to ship, not only to play.

Rails is full of libs for building real business. Github and Shopify 's engineers are around, this contributes great sense of realword usage. Features extracted from that are battle-tested.

Bonus is DHH is still involving since he loves programming anyway, and he is a great communicator, spicy tweets on HTML CSS keeps the web sane .. from those madness.

Courts can't reject a case because they don't want to hear it (except for SCOTUS, although Thomas and Alito would argue they don't have that right for original jurisdiction). In order to reject a case, the case has to be lacking in merit or procedurally deficient. That so many of the cases have been rejected due to their procedural deficiencies should be in an indication of the quality of the legal teams pressing the issues.

(Note that rejecting for procedural deficiencies doesn't mean that the court approves of the merits of the case, it just means that the court also doesn't want to decide the merits. Although if you piss it off hard enough, they will also go own to berate you on why your claims lack merit in addition to enumerating procedural deficiencies).

If you mean something broader than this Youtube policy then it's not clear what campaign you're referring to. Certain types of misinformation/disinformation are already considered torts because they do cause harm, e.g. defamation/slander/libel. Continuing the metaphor, in the case of Youtube it appears that among other things they don't want to host videos of people encouraging others to make prank 911 calls because it causes lawsuits, bad press and lost profits in addition to it being illegal in a lot of places.
I don't know why they call her a whistleblower. The data on her covid dashboard is the same as the data on the official state dashboard, and while the state doesn't ask for money on their dashboard, she's taking donations to present the exact same data on her dashboard.
That's a fair point, however we don't reach university until after 12 years of compulsory state-run education in the U.S.

By that time, many developmental windows have been missed, a persons personality is already solidified.

University is too late for these fundamentals, which IMHO ought to be taught in primary school. I think we horribly underestimate the ability of children to do this. Which I attribute to the assembly-line education that appeals to the lowest common denominator.

The weev case was a travesty from start to finish. The failure on ATT's part is legendary. The "secret" information was only ever exposed to a professional journalist, who didn't pass it on to anyone. Nothing happened in New Jersey. And of course, as the appellate court found:

...no evidence was advanced at trial that the account
slurper ever breached any password gate or other code-based
barrier. The account slurper simply accessed the publicly
facing portion of the login screen and scraped information
that AT&T unintentionally published. [0]

Yes, particularly legal systems that derive from Roman law (France, Spain, Italy) rely more heavily on this concept than those that derive from English Common law.

There's a saying I've heard somewhere, in England everything is allowed unless it is prohibited, in Germany everything is prohibited unless it is allowed and in France everything is allowed even if it is prohibited.
It seems crazy to me to count ballots with signatures that don't (reasonably) match.

If I had believed one or the other of the candidates were a threat on the level Hitler, I would certainly have taken the opportunities given to me to fill out and return ballots that were not mine.

You don't need any conspiracy for this; you just have to have one side that is extremely motivated to defeat the other side combined w/ a lack of signature standards.

I am sure partisanship is involved, but that is not a rebuttal to the evidence presented.

Exactly. Applauding them for lowering trading fees to $0 is like applauding a pharmaceutical company for bringing down the cost of opiates. Or applauding a cigarette maker for making cigarettes cheaper.

In other words, the cost of opiates is not the bigger problem in the industry. And the problem with cigarettes is not the cost. It's the overusage on both fronts.

If making trades free leads to more day trading (it does), then we are most certainly going to see a net negative effect on consumers.

Why I love me some DC-X footage, and bemoan what we lost when NASA killed the project for their own boondoggle that failed, talk about missing the point.

• 45,000 feet is a lot farther that 450 feet.
• Falling and using movable aerodynamic surfaces to descend in reentry position, then rotating into landing position is kind of hard.

• Running rocket engines for over four minutes straight is hard, BO has barely run their engines more than 4 minutes total in years of ground tests, without the realism of actual flight and its associated vibrations and accelerations.

• Restarting rocket engines is hard.

Lastly DC-X cracked up its last landing too.
