Why are you suspicious? When you stop arresting people for crimes and allow criminal behavior then you get more crime. This is so correlated as to be mathematical fact. This is no different to NY removing bail and then being surprised that criminals walk right out of the courthouse and back to their operations the same day while being further emboldened by these policies.

Many think there isn't much crime because they're usually sheltered from it by distance and police activity. It only takes a small gap to notice how bad conditions can get, and how quickly they deteriorate.
Wow, that is bizarre. At first I'd say it seems unbelievable, but then when you think of people in churches speaking in tongues, etc. -- I guess I could see it.

But if you've ever done MDMA you'd certainly know it was a placebo, so it feels like these are people who never had, but imagined what they thought it ought to be like.

I'd actually be incredibly curious to hear their description of it? Especially since everyone knows what people act like when drunk or on cocaine... but I'm not quite sure people have as definite an idea of MDMA?

It is my understanding that Michigan completely stopped production during the current crisis.
Looks like they're producing again.
So is Tesla.

You have to weigh a population's death risk vs increasing the net worth of Elon Musk.

I am certainly not a person who believes that because people depend on economic activity, that we should make a cold hard decision and keep production levels up to normal during the crisis.

COVID-19 infection and death rates are up all over the US, so I don't have a good answer for you.

I would be pretty angry if my SO or family worked in a Tesla factory and were forced to work somewhere they are in high danger of being infected, but I guess that's Capitalism.

FTC definitely isn't competent enough to understand how visionary the acquisition was.

To be fair, not many was that competent. Otherwise, Google and other cash-loaded companies would have acquired these companies with higher offer.

It could have easily been Twitter + Vines + Periscope where the acquired products went nowhere.

It's unfair to Zuck for being very visionary about this. But antitrust isn't about being fair to an individual company...

What about the initial replication? My NAS is currently sitting at about 8TB used, which even at the maximum 10Mb/s upload of my current ISP (best in the area of course, because 'murika) would take 75 days. Your first link doesn't seem to say anything about alternatives for getting the initial data set to them, and your second link, well "We have queued up 200 users and have decided to close new requests for the time being. Please check back soon!" basically means it is imaginary for the time being.

Very interesting. Quite a few commercial products are now based on CentOS as their main operating system. I wonder if they will switch to Rocky Linux as well.

I believe the planned stream version of CentOS does not appeal to the need of many enterprises.

This is a hard problem for any sufficiently large application...web or otherwise. Solving it, in my experience, requires a strongly supported central body focused on managing code quality across teams. I know this is a relatively straightforward exercise with large React apps. I've never seen it done with Angular to know how difficult that is. Doing this all comes with a cost of maintaining that team and possibly slower development, of course.

However, I assert that no cloud provider has won or lost significant cloud deals based on the speed of their UI, and most engineers who live in the cloud do so through CLI tools. While people may not like it, and perhaps it's caused some engineers to do something different for personal projects, this is rightly not a KPI for Google Cloud, hence the state of of the cloud console.

Some time ago Google moved away from rendering pages server side. Youtube right now downloads 1MB of mostly json packed data for client side rendering. Irony of this is old Youtube layout (pre Polymer, their client side YT rendering engine) downloaded ~30KB of pre rendered html. The difference to users is Youtube website visibly slowly appearing in front of your eyes (while one CPU core is pegged at 100%) instead of Old YT just loading instantly and working.
A blessed return to the time when people only trusted what was right in front of them.

We are coming from two very different places obviously and there are a bunch of us. Too many to just say "screw those people they are wrong!" (which is the natural first inclination probably). So what happens? How do we work this out where we can share society together?

In the US, there is no prior restraint that prevents one from doing the things in your list.

If expressions are deemed unlawful after-the-fact and via due process, the speaker may be punished.

It is anti-freedom to bar expression w/o adjudication or due process. E.g., alleged threats or alleged defamation are protected speech until a court determines them to be unprotected. Emergency injunctions or the like may be temporarily enforced if the court feels it is likely that the expression in controversy will be found to be unprotected speech.

Also, courts can issue narrow and temporary gag orders but they are limited and specifically targeted for reasons unrelated to the viewpoint of the speech.

Posting this purely because of the hypocrisy displayed by the poster, Cambalache. Your arguments attempt (very poorly) to appeal to ethos, are littered with false equivocations, and jump to illogical, impossible conclusions based on flawed logic defined earlier in your "argument".

Indeed. It's something I rarely hear mentioned, but I have found valuable about recreational drugs - they teach you a lot about how your body works and what certain things feel like. A lot like tasting a spice in isolation allows you to pick it out in a complete dish.

Switch jobs. You can't escape this hole by doing more work. In fact, doing more work will solidify your managers opinion that the new role is better for you. Do exactly what's told in the gervais principle book: slack off to the barely sustainable perf to release energy you need to prepare an exit.

I've been labelled an underperformer in past. I switched jobs, doubled my pay and got a stellar perf review at the new place. I've learned that perf doesn't assess your ability, but rather your relationships with peers and managers, and your adherence to the ingroup activities, i.e. some orgs value above else the amount of code you write, some value how loud you're in meetings, some value shipping features or writing feature designs. Poor perf review is a sign that your mental model of the organization is wrong. Once you get it right, it's entirely possible to have stellar perf on paper while doing laughably mediocre work.
That's why we have antitrust laws--and why, on unfortunately rare occasions, we enforce them.

Would you prefer:

1) YT and Google employees watching over us OR

2) the Koch Brothers, paid actors from Russia and Saudi and hyper-partisan US groups, etc. all flooding our information platforms with trash and noise, completely UNCHECKED, in the name of "freedom"?

I think there's solid evidence that option 2 is terrible for us, the USA has had a disastrous COVID response, for instance. Meanwhile, we haven't really tried option 1, we are just at the beginning of this censorship of trash information.

In general, I find many talking of "freedom" in US history are using it as a shield to ignore sticky issues and allow bad solutions to reign...freedom to own slaves, freedom to expand wherever and kill any natives there, freedom of pollution, freedom of marketing with harmful lies...freedom is an over-used and intellectually lazy concept.
Nope, and yet it's being publicized on platforms that prioritize the present :)

But that's the world we live in. No single platform can (or should) dominate the media landscape. Everyone has to play in harmony with everyone else.

There's no silver bullet winner-take-all outcome for this thing we call the media.

I think it’s flawed to think that you can safely have multiple versions of the same app running (or even installed) simultaneously in the same “universe.” Whether you use jails, VMs, containers, or whatever you should not count on “I didn’t change anything between these two versions that would corrupt the other instance” to help you.

There's no way to provide access to the social graph in a privacy preserving way. It's not okay to allow a third party to access the data your friends have shared with you without your friends consenting.

Unencumbered API access to the social graph is exactly what led to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and promising to restrict API access was part of Facebook's settlement with the FTC.

Might be good to update this with the current article title: COVID data manager investigated, raided for using publicly available password

Reading the affidavit used to get the warrant, they don't seem to cite any evidence beyond the fact that the user triggering the alert had an IPv6 IP allocated to Comcast. Nothing about say, Comcast verifying the IP was issued to the Jones at the time of the 'intrusion'. Unless that is in the redacted section. Would that sort of know-how require redaction?
You have 1438 pounds of CO2, roughly 1/3 of that mass is carbon, so that's about 500 pounds or 250 kilograms of carbon.

Gasoline is a hydrocarbon, but the mass of hydrogen is neglegible compared to that of carbon, so it's not too wrong to say that this mass of carbon came from the same mass of gasoline, 250 kg. The density of gasoline is around 1 kg/l, so we are talking about 250 liters of fuel. The typical tank of a compact car holds about 50 l.
It does if it uses public resources.

> When it’s all said and done, a basic $10 meal ends up being $20+ through DoorDash after the upcharged food items, delivery fee, service fee, and tip.

If said restaurant paid a standard of living wage that $10 meal would probably be closer to $25.

I'm not necessarily a fan of DoorDash's business practices, but I don't fault them for extracting money that restaurants have left on the table.
First, I'm not taking a hard position on anything here- I'm linking the Senate Intelligence Committee's findings. If you don't believe it? Well, that's your problem I'm just stating what's in there

>There was no influence

Go here again https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/press/senate-intel-relea... and open up the 4 PDF's Volume 1/2/3/4

Open Volume 2.

Search for the word "influence". You might notice you have about a billion matches. Here is one significant quote

>Arriving at a similar conclusion, an Oxford Internet Institute study-of 17 million tweets posted during the 2016 election found that bots "reached positions of measurable influence," and "did infiltrate the upper cores of influence and were thus jn a position to significantly influence digital communications during the 2016 U.S. election."

So, you are going to continue to state "there was no influence" even though hundreds of pages of reports from the Senate Intel say otherwise?

Argument for FB not being broken up would be “how does it harm the consumer?”. Sherman act doesn’t ban monopolies, it’s protects the consumer from being abused by the monopoly.
The letter of the law in a lot of places can be even worse than that. [1] There's been federal legislation proposed but AFAIK, nothing has been passed. A lot of states theoretically require you to file a tax return even if you only travel there for a day. Of course, I'd be shocked if pretty much anyone complied with that for sometimes travel. But it means lots of people are basically committing tax fraud; many/most probably don't even know they are.

I live in the Netherlands. After 3 years (used to be 2 years up until very recently) a worker has to be moved to a permanent contract. That makes firing a person very difficult.

> when they can boot you out for free

You can't really. It's extremely difficult and no lawyer can magically change the fact that the culture and the courts are in favor of the worker, not the employer.

Now the laws might change a bit, making the terms of termination a bit easier for the employer in the future (we'll see what the next government brings), but in general I expect it to still be quite difficult. So it may be easier to pay the employee 30K extra compensation to let him go then trying a game of psychological torture.
And if that sounds unreal to you, know that in the Netherlands employees can get paid up to 2 years if they have a nervous breakdown. And nervous breakdown is quite common culturally. So employees have dirty tricks of their own if the employer wants to play dirty.

Now of course, there are obvious disadvantages to this approach, not necessarily for the employer actually. The employer can protect himself by simply not hiring anyone for more than a couple of years, making "flex work" a real problem in NL. But yes, firing could be hard and I'd be surprised if it's much different in Germany/France etc.
"Amici curiae are the States of Missouri,

The claim appears to hinge on:

"Democratic accountability in the method of
selecting the President of the United States is a
powerful bulwark safeguarding individual liberty. By
identifying the “Legislature thereof” in each State as
the regulator of elections for federal officers, the
Electors Clause of Article II, § 1 prohibits the very
arrogation of power over Presidential elections by
non-legislative officials that the Defendant States
perpetrated in this case. By violating the
Constitution’s separation of powers, these nonlegislative actors undermined the liberty of all
Americans, including the voters in amici States."
Interesting - reminds me of the "Delayed Gratification" magazine I just started subscribing to; it's a less ambitious timeframe, but by being deliberately 1-2 quarters behind, it does avoid a lot of churn and puts in a lot of perspective.

(FWIW: I find I enjoy the magazine, but I find it also spends a bulk of it in discussing interesting but marginal items from 6 months ago, whereas I would've expected a benefit-of-retrospective discussion of key items from the past)

> People were calling Trump a fascist for his entire presidency, when the main thing that characterized his presidency was irresponsible ANTI-authoritarianism.

Yes! This is amazing. There is absolutely nothing fascist about Trump - from his complete lack of anything aesthetic, his terrible diction, his lackluster speeches (despite the big rallies, which show people are hungry for something better in this direction.)

> Lowering taxes, pulling back business regulations, pulling out of climate agreements and pulling back restrictions on energy production.

Whereas under fascism the exact opposite was in effect: new regulations, new control, and an early effort toward environmentalism was evident.
