> A domain and VPS are simply not a viable substitute for access to mainstream social networks; to claim otherwise is disingenuous.

Nobody is claiming this. That's the whole idea of the "Freedom of reach" thing...

Why should you be entitled to post lies on Youtube?

There are dozens of competing platforms that will let you post these things, you actually don't even have to start your own...

>> He can't recoup the thousands of dollars he had to pay after having his car destroyed by cops, either.

Is that his lawyers opinion or theirs? Would this ruling change that?
> The actual point of the article is to really just drop the -- quote -- "bogus" -- dogwhistle so all the other racists can identify them.

Wow. That's beyond being uncharitable.

Also, as I mentioned elsewhere down below at length, I think bogus is too kind a word for that kind of crap masquerading as an academic discipline.

But to get back to the actual content, I think he's got a point. There is no substitute for genuine passion and interest - otherwise known as eagerness. Little surprise it should be a signal of success.

But hey what would one of the world's most successful venture capitalists know about it - you're the real expert on the subject.
Hint: if you're still using grep to search files rather than a file, install and start using the "newer generation" of greps (ag, ripgrep etc). You likely won't believe the speed.

I use ag many times a day to search 10,400 files comprising about 800k lines of code, and it is in every meaningful way completely instantaneous. It also understands repository structures, and so won't waste your time there.

It seriously changed my (programming) life.

> Why do people insist on calling Assange a journalist?

Because he directed Wikileaks, who report any number of facts in the public interest and helped in revealing a few substantial stories. Wikileaks involvement in the Snowden revelations springs to mind, that bought a conspiracy with global implications to light. Probably one of the most consequential pieces of journalism in history except maybe the Panama papers.

If your definition of journalism is something other than bringing important truths to the public eye, then it is weak and we can all do without it.
You're not wrong. I've maintained a mission critical CentOS server for the better part of a decade and it has been quite stable and dependable, despite their embrace of systemd which broke stuff the system required. I think I only had to do a manual reboot three times during that point, which is good, because it is on a remote mountaintop with access to the range controlled by armed guards.

Still, you seem to be missing the larger point. Suddenly, CentOS is dead. Maybe I'm an outlier, but that seems like a disruption in its stability and dependability.
I have been following Tesla for many years and have heard of lots of story about people getting hurt with Tesla. I have never heard of such a case during everyday operations of a supercharger.

Likely somewhere somebody has died during installation of these stations but I have never heard of it.

My guess would be the death rate are about as high as installing any electrical system with high current.
"... the WikiLeaks team has racked up numerous awards for journalism over the years, including the Walkley Award for Most Outstanding Contribution to Journalism (2011), the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism (2011), the International Piero Passetti Journalism Prize of the National Union of Italian Journalists (2011), the Jose Couso Press Freedom Award (2011), the Brazillian Press Association Human Rights Award (2013), and the Kazakstan Union of Journalists Top Prize (2014).

The claim that Assange is “not a journalist” is both an irrelevant red herring and a self-evident falsehood. It is made not by people with an interest in maintaining a small and specific linguistic understanding of what the word journalism means, but by people who want to see Julian Assange imprisoned by the same government which tortured Chelsea Manning because he made them feel emotionally upset. It’s a fact-free argument made entirely in bad faith for inexcusable motives: the desire to see a journalist imprisoned for telling the truth.

When someone says “Assange isn’t a journalist”, they aren’t telling you what Assange is. They’re showing you what they are. "

Yes, a spatially infinite universe, with no expansion, but finite time since the stars all turned on, doesn't have this paradox. I think people didn't like this answer because it needs a beginning of time (or at least, of time with stars).

Having expansion just-about implies there must be such a time. Because if you run it backwards, eventually the stars will all be touching each other, and clearly can't then behave exactly like stars do -- something else must have been going on.

Our modern answer does have such a time, and expansion. And the answer for why no stars shine before some time is that they took a while to condense into dense clumps from the initially quite smooth hot gas. What you see in the gaps between them is precisely this hot gas, at the moment it first became transparent to light, this is the microwave background radiation.

In their scenario of infinite time, matter which isn't lit up doesn't help. It would, like your eyeball, get the light of the stars from all directions, and would soon equilibrate to the same temperature as these surfaces.
Years ago I worked with image processing and thought of writing a CLI image diff tool. I then thought meh, anyone can quickly roll their own.

Turns out it seems to be something people care about.

I should just start writing the CLI tools I think of, without dismissing their utility.
It's a good step. Hopefully the next one will be to curtail the overreach of "sovereign immunity" in protecting entirely too much bad behavior. It's entirely possible that this or a similar case could now proceed to find damages for the plaintiff only to arrive again at the Supreme Court to be dismissed on immunity grounds.
video shows just a weird positioning of letters, like that's how zodiac had put them into cypher (one down, three to the left). It seems to me that originally text was written in some geometric shape, mostly from top to bottom, then was copied to the paper from left to right. This could explain "mistakes", "life is" part written horizontally etc. I wonder, what the shape was.

Are there studies to this effect? I've sat on hiring committees where we rejected competent men who were jerks or maybe even just a little too cold for our liking. Don't want my anecdotal experience clouding my perception of reality if they don't match.
Don't be ridiculous. There are thousands of competing communications providers. If you want to share content that harms society or harms the platforms themselves then you might just have to do it outside of Facebook or Twitter.
> The word "fish" has a well established meaning

But that is precisely the matter of contention. Even in the domain of biology, you have two systems of nomenclature, traditional and cladistic, in which animals may be classified differently. Furthermore, some animals that are not considered fish under either the traditional or cladistic systems have gills, so fishiness is clearly not a simple matter of gilliness. Crabs are an obvious example, as crustaceans they are certainly not fish, yet they have gills, live in the water (often, though not always) and are called shellfish. Hermitcrabs are an example of crabs with gills that are primarily terrestrial... or are they? Are hermit crabs actually crabs? Like fish, there is a wide variety of animals which are casually called crabs, but which are not 'true crabs' according to biologists today. Many popular crabs fall into this category, for instance king crabs. When is the last time you heard somebody go off on a "Well actually, that's not crab you're eating" rant? Not often, not nearly as often as 'whales aren't fish' rants anyway. Why is the fish/whale dichotomy emotionally important to people while the crab/crablike distinction is something almost nobody knows or cares about? I am pretty sure it's because people want to protect whales by disassociating them from food (fish.)

Regardless, these non-crabs are called crabs because they have the distinctly crabby qualities people look for in crabs; claws, exoskeletons, and a generally spidery body shape (disqualifying lobsters.) The term to describe the phenomenon of non-crabs becoming ''crabs'' is 'carcinisation', a term described by it's creator as "one of the many attempts of Nature to evolve a crab"

For this concept to have any coherence, we must have some notion of crab that transcends the true crab. We could call that 'crabbiness', similar to the way I can call a whale 'fishy'.

> It has to do with being a member of a class of creatures that share certain characteristics

The selection of which traits to consider is where human culture leaves it's mark. In a different culture, you might make the claim that some fish have gills and some do not. In a different culture you might say that only bony fish with swim bladders are 'true fish' and that cartilaginous swimming creatures without swim bladders aren't fish at all. If having a swim bladder is what our culture considers fishy, then sharks are no longer fish. But in our extant culture, some fish have swim bladders and some fish do not.
This technology can be valuable, but getting a patent made standards essential doesn't just compensate you for your invention-- it creates a unearned windfall. Practitioners regularly us anticompetitive and dishonest moves to get their techniques made into mandatory parts of formats, regularly these techniques offer little value over non-patented alternatives-- in some cases they actually hurt coding performance over completely naive techniques.

Xiph.Org's 2011's letter to the FTC directly discussions "industry standard" unethical conduct like effectively concealing what would later be claimed to be a patent encumbrance from a standard setting organization, exactly as Nokia did in this case.

Maybe, but Ubuntu does have drama like the Amazon search link thing and now uncontrollable auto-updating snap packages, which arguably seem like an absolutely terrible idea for any sort of server.

For almost everything, Debian works just as well as Ubuntu, but it's more boring and has less drama.

Overall, yes, but not for all seats. New Hampshire was untrustworthy in 2016, both for the presidential electors and for the senator. Some of the house seats, particularly in California, were untrustworthy. Florida was nearly stolen via Broward County, and then again for governor/senator in 2018. Numerous seats were stolen in 2018 and 2020, though I do believe that overall control of the House could be legitimate.

I think you're implying that fraud could reasonably go both directions. I call your attention to the fact that felons are 5 to 7 times more likely to vote for democrats than republicans. Election workers who are willing to commit crime are clearly going to favor democrats. That just isn't the law-and-order party.

In any case, if you had an issue with the 2016 results, you should have cooperated to secure the elections. You didn't, because you know that you benefit from insecure elections.

The situation with fraud evidence is like a cop found with a dozen dead people, all shot between the eyes, and his body camera turned off. He says they all attacked him, and he was just a really lucky man. There is no evidence otherwise, because he disabled the camera. Didn't do anything bad? Sure...

Assuming that people aren’t charging 10p% of the time, I would have thought that a charging station would itself be battery powered, dumping its energy at high speed into a car and charging more slowly from the grid?

That would reduce strain on the grid while providing high charging times to users.

The us/then dynamic is an artifact of the human condition. It worked when we were tiny groups of individuals with no global influence or presence. Which is precisely the sort of thing we should be designing modern social systems to mitigate.
We built something similar to that in the early 2000s as well, although we used copper pipe hanging strap for the connectors, a J-PAC from Ultimarc for the PC interface and some plastic tubing for pushing the arrows away from the connectors. It worked pretty well too.

I just skimmed through the code, but as far as I can tell, the main point is that this code is multi-threaded.

Which, sure, gets the job done faster than the single-thread `odiff` on a single image, but is quite irrelevant for a tool marketed for tests/CI where many images are likely to be compared in parallel already (and maybe a single core is even available).
It is not a very pretty pattern but the value on GA is so high for me these days, I just fight it until I get what I need.

Many consider YouTube.com a social network. To be honest, I never thought of it as one, but the reality is that users post content, and other users interact with that content. So it does act like a social network in that sense.

It's probably my personal situation that blocked the idea of it being a social network from my head, but I think of it as a "public place" - no private interaction for me on there, no interactions with people I know on there. Just interactions with strangers that create/share content.
I don't think those countries have a high concentration of tech workers that are cheaper than workers in the United States. If they did I'm sure we'd have a very valuable working arrangement with those countries.

This is great. However, even as a Biden voter I find the latest ruling regarding state election laws deeply troubling. It basically sets a precedent that election laws can now be permanently finagled.

I think you're both right, but if I had to pick one thing to fix it would be the first past the post. Encouraging the in-group/out-group mentality is an act of self-perptuation by the two dominate parties. Without a clear "enemy" the party risks fracturing and demonizing the other side, as well as being demonized by the otherside is something that both parties want because it keeps them in power.
I don't see YouTube being primarily a social network, if that's what you mean. It is a different thing. I happen to post a lot on YouTube to share with friends and family, but I have a grand total of one friend who does the same. Aside from meeting them via YouTube (his YouTubing/skateboarding daughter commented on a video of my daughter skateboarding, back when comments were even allowed on kid-oriented channels), that's not how we communicate. If a competitor to YouTube arose, I could easily switch over and it would be no big deal. I just use YouTube because it is convenient and free.

Basically, being a "social network" isn't a binary thing. YouTube is nothing like Facebook, the latter of which is a primary way many people keep in touch with friends and family. YouTube is far more one directional, with the vast majority of users being passive consumers, and the vast majority of content they watch is posted by people they don't know in real life.

That said, I'm all for breaking up all of them, to be honest. Or at least forcing them to open their platforms in various ways. I think we'd all be better off, and even their stockholders would be better off in the long run. But Facebook, in my opinion, is the one with the strongest network monopoly in play.

Google's browser isn't controlled in the same way as Facebook controls Facebook. It is open source and Microsoft is able to make a version of it (Edge) that strips out the Google specific stuff, and there is Brave, etc. Also, if you use a completely different browser such as Firefox, you can use YouTube just fine, you can use Google search just fine, you can use it for any other purposes and you aren't "left out" as you often are if, say, you use some non-Facebook social network.

Apple really pisses me off with their walled garden BS, but still, I think Facebook's monopoly is more actively harmful to competition. Partly because the Android platform does provide competition to Apple in mobile devices and apps.
> I recognize they have a right to do it, but I have a right to make noise about it and criticize them.

Nobody suggested otherwise, and your statement that "you're not interested in free speech unless you're willing to defend speech you find repugnant" is clearly a sidestep. You can support free speech without supporting the nonexistent (and unrelated) right to post lies on Youtube.
Yeah, I did a quick Google for supercharger electrical accidents, and I can’t really find any: I suspect you’re more likely to see a gas station fire than an accident at a fast charger.

Yeah Apple has hurt so many people, making them buy nice smartphones and personal computers. Occasionally they force people to buy earbuds or a watch. What an evil corporation, all those happy bouncy ads they run on TV, it's outrageous. Evil personified. Nuke Cupertino before they nuke us first. Who are they to tell me to think different? Who knows what they'll force us to buy next. I'm personally invoking NATO's Article 5, we've been attacked, they've weaponized an app store by setting their fees too high for developers.

“This accomplishment, by an amateur, caught the attention of Lord Halsbury, managing director of the National Research and Development Corporation, who soon recruited Strachey to spearhead the government’s efforts to promote practical applications of the rapid developments in computer science taking place at British universities.”

Yeah I'm curious as to what is the failure mode for these sensors when they're run out of spec. As you point out, if the sensor is just returning an inaccurate it's probably fine as you're only interested in a relative load value (loaded vs unloaded), not an accurate reading.

I don't have actual data with regards to this, but the instantaneous force applied to the load cells would likely exceed their spec in the case of a heavier adult jumping on the arrows or otherwise hitting them off center with more force than placing a static load on it.

I think it depends on team dynamics. On a team I was on (Fortune 100 company), a techlead would just buddy up with a very junior one, and have them rubber stamp their code review. The techlead almost committed a bug similar to one in this post- I had to step in and leave a review comment to prevent this vulnerability. I almost wanted to have it shipped to get back at at these code review buddies, but decided against it as I valued not having a vulnerability more.
