The comment you replied to reads a lot like whataboutism to me. But your comment is very informative and highlights the predicament we're all facing.

As an extreme, all social media could be pushed offline temporarily in the US - assuming that were feasible. Another extreme is doing absolutely no censoring of anyone. I think we largely would be best served with very little censorship, but even Mark Zuckerberg states proper oversight of his platform is ... “difficult.”

Personally, I remember being a kid and taking the internet too seriously one day. My friends quickly corrected me with “the internet is full of lies.” And I’ve forever taken what I read and saw on it with a huge grain of salt - basically assuming it’s wrong until verified through out of bands ways and means. Ie if someone I loved posted something deeply unsettling I’d call or visit them to see how they were doing. I’d probably not say anything on their actual post. If it looked like something about my car registration, I’d check with the MVD directly and not using any links in the email. Possibly a way to do this as citizens would be to start by reading the constitution and its amendments. Or, at the very least, make a mental decision to severely discount the use of the internet for information and authority.
The "editorialized" title is an exact match for The Verge, so my guess is either Reuters updated their title at some point, or the OP originally submitted The Verge's coverage of the Reuters piece. I do actually feel the dangling question in the title is reasonable -- it is totally unclear who this action affects or how -- but irrespective of the title just wanted to clarify that it's probably not the OP's editorialization.
The whole piece just reads like a butt-hurt PC guy who can't face reality
I doo don't hope that is the "solution" that will arise, but it also depends on the willingness and ability of Signal to include it.

There is demand. If (for legal, security or UX reasons) Signal cannot offer a solution to that demand, others will step in.
By default signal handlers don't use a separate stack; they use the same stack as the process/thread that received the signal. A process/thread must call sigaltstack to install an alternative stack for signal handler execution.

So to answer the previous poster's question: yes, AFAICT this bug could have effected userspace code unless there are some other nuances at play.
On what platform will his app appear? Apple and Google will ban any app associated with Trump.
To provide a bit more nuance to my snark - out of 8-core Intel Core i9's currently sold in laptops, in multi-core Geekbench 5, M1 loses to 9900K by 18%, beats 9980HK by 13% and 9880H by whopping 20%.

In single-core, it is single fastest currently available processor, destroying the aforementioned i9's by 30% to 50%.
Binary transport is already on the roadmap.
> There's a discontinuous boundary?

I don't think he's claimed that the boundary was discontinuous, you've implied that.

However, there's no denying that QM and classical mechanics are two fairly different sets of equations.

I haven't come across a QM book so far that explicitly (i.e. with an example) demonstrates how one morphs into the other as a variable, say size, changes.

Special relativity is way better in that regard, when speed goes to zero, the equations converge to their classical analogues.
Bezos should also be vigilant as Antifa had gallows outside his house the last time he made a bunch of money in one day.

So many threats, maybe we can look at them equally?
Fair enough, I'm not a native English speaker and should maybe used a different word.

But that's still beside the point: there is still a fraction greater than 0% of his voters, who will feel (correctly or incorrectly) that their politician was censored. And therein lies the problem with the blocking decision.

It does not matter in any shape or form whether Facebook was right or wrong in their action in blocking Trump: This decision will radicalize more people, as a direct side effect or unintended consequence of their decision to block him due to the TOS violation. Trump is not just some internet lunatic, he is a political candidate and former POTUS that 70+ million people voted for.
Well, “fake” isn’t exactly fair. It was his stage/equity name. He couldn’t go with his actual name because... someone was already using it.
Will it get to the point that this is considered “vigilante justice?”

We don’t know what was done to the RNC, or why. It’s odd to release such a non-statement, but if the RNC is encouraging violence, that’s breaking laws and should be prosecuted.

If they haven’t violated laws, and there’s no injunction then Salesforce is serving in the role of punisher.

I get that it’s their service and they can legally serve whomever they like, but line item vetoing people and companies based on an arbitrary, changing criteria leads to mistakes and generally bad business.

If I have to think about whether one day my dashboard software will turn off because one of my executives does something bad, then that’s going to make me not want to use it.

This is a slippery slope argument, of course, and I should have good executives. But I don’t think I want to buy software from services that could just one day decide to stop serving me for an unclear reason.
Hopefully by then, computers can read off our wants directly from our heads.
I also recently received a first $5 donation on an OSS project I created and have been supporting since 2017. It was a really pleasant surprise and motivated me to spend a bit more time on the project to move through some bug fixes and feature enhancements. It’s amazing what a small gesture like that can do.
In what ways, specifically, have they taken action? If you find more details please request the url be updated to the source with specific information.
Sorry, I forgot to follow up. I'm quite enjoying this exchange.

> Let’s consider that your perception is fallible and possibly wrong. And hypothetically assume your concept of “the oppressed” is off to some degree.

Obviously I'm not always right. But neither is the rest of the world. Neither is the government.
But then what? Should we just let everyone be?

It's a moral dilemma for sure, and I don't think there's a foolproof way around it.
Similarly, you want to allow people to kill in case of self-defense but don't want to allow murder. Or censoring Nazi speech while keeping as much freedom of expression as possible.

You can't say all killings are bad (or good), and you can't say all speech is good (or bad). There's a moral judgement to be made there.

I'm not saying rioting is without risks or consequences. I'm just saying they tend to happen when people run out of alternatives. Then they're justified, and only if the cause is good.
I believe that if you could prove that you have an actual isomorphism in the full formal sense of the world, the question about its complexity wouldn't really matter.

However, for a practical claim, it is probably impossible to formally prove that an interpreter function is both bijective between a physical system and a computation (it maps absolutely every possible state of the physical system to exactly one step of a computation).

However, it's important that the following argument can be made: if the evolution of a physical system is isomorphic to a computation of a particular algorithm for solving the traveling salesman problem, and if the phsyical system needs ~1 second for each step, then the system can't go from state A to state B in less than X seconds, where X is the number of steps required by that algorithm to reach those same steps. The actual interpretation of the algorithm or its purpose is not relevant here, the mathematical limits of how the computation happens remain relevant regardless.

That is because you can't find 2 different isomorphisms between the same physical system and 2 different computation that are not isomorphic to each other, if these are actual proper isomorhpisms (bijective) and not just hand-wavy analogies.
Assuming they do wish to maintain interoperability, you can use matrix while extending the base "events" that are sent to clients. So it may be that essentially Teamspeaks client/server will support the main specification "m.room" events, such as joining, leaving, adding/editing titles, etc, while also exposing their own "com.teamspeak.event" addons (which might be invites to voice channels or recordings or something specific like that), which so long as the client says "oh hey, I know those, speak them to me" will work fine, and any other client could still get the basic chat functionality.

I'm not sure how exactly this works with server <-> server federation, I've never actually looked at that spec.

> "Why suddenly all platforms are stopping the spreading of this information."

Are you ignoring the 70 days of news, vote counts/recounts/certifications, court cases/lawsuits etc.? Do you think that there hasn't been a shred of substantiated hard evidence of widespread voter fraud for 70 days and then all of the sudden there was and so platforms started censoring people? Have you been paying any attention to this? or is your comment just based on a very narrow perspective of very recent events?
thank you - which app do you use ?
You say business is about building products, but it really isn't.

Business is about making money. Building products is only useful insofar as it enables selling products, which is one way to make money (possibly one of the hardest).

So the question becomes, "how do you position an organization to make money?" - and that has a bunch of different answers depending on many factors. Some of these answers are generic cross-sectors and some are not, and recognising the difference is where the much-maligned MBA types can fall short.

There is one very important fact that is left out of these conversations: social media and similar Internet-driven mass communication platforms are NOT necessary. They do not solve a “problem.” They are merely an amplifier for good and for evil. They are addictive and easily manipulated. Free speech is not equivalent to a social media presence: that is a 21st century construct. We did not need them 30 years ago and we don’t need them now.
Features that the masses actually care about, features like stickers, voice and videos messages and calls, disappearing messages, groups that you can manage membership and channels... wait forget about that last one.
In particular it never got its story together for iOS. ... and macOS more recently. It is quite good, on say, Android (Conversations).

You're right, but I also think the main takeaway from the tech bus protests was that the resulting conversations made it plainly visible just how out of touch even the politically engaged tech workers are.
Apple lied again? Not remotely surprising given their security and privacy track record.

1. Botley Road - there is plenty of space for a two-way cycle path in the photo you show. Just a couple of photos down, you can see the road fits three vehicles abreast: in other words, it would comfortably fit two road lanes and a double cycle lane, if only that had been or was constructed. There are much trickier problems solved in the Netherlands.

2. Henley Bridge - Overall, Henley could be ideal for cycling around. OK, one of the main routes into the town crosses a river. Yet, if this was in the Netherlands, they would simply have built a parallel cycle bridge at some point in the last 20 years. Or, if there still wasn't one, they'd build one now.

Here you go, Rijswijk swingbrug, opened 2014 (watch the video for relevant commentary):

Or Delft's Gelatinebrug, scheduled to open in 2023: https://www.delft.nl/wonen/bouwen/bouwprojecten-de-stad/schi...

There are plenty of other examples.

Amsterdam's narrow roads have little to no traffic only because of political decisions that cars are not the only form of transport that need to be considered. You can see in archive footage that this wasn't always the case.
And yes, I recognize the hypocrisy of this comment on a public forum...
They typically are in big companies. "If you're able to do your job, [Security/SecOps/IT] isn't doing theirs" and all that.

It's a natural outgrowth of a corporate "efficiency" mandate that puts functional groups together vs. cross-functional groups. That pendulum is ever swinging.
That is what happens when you invoke physics without understanding it.

No, there is no law that would prevent new SoC to outperform 8-core Intel Core i9.

Personally, when I see stupid argument like that I immediately stop reading. I know it is waste of time.

Apple talks about laptops.
Article rants on about high performance desktop pcs and self-built pcs.
To add even more insult to the injury, the only laptop with 9900K you can currently buy in my market is a gaming monstrosity 3.5x more expensive AND 3.5x heavier than M1 MacBook Air.
In reality both of you are correct.
Branding can make clothing both cheaper and much more expensive.
In construction there's actually plenty of foreign subcontractors. They just bring a whole team, so it's enough if one of them knows the language well enough to understand what they'll need to do.

Edit: In general, I won't disagree with you that language is a real barrier for employment in EU.
Signal does store stuff if you have desktop clients logged in. It doesn't rely on the mobile client to forward it like Whatsapp Web. But it only stores it until they have all retrieved it, or they have timed out. I don't know how long Telegram keeps stuff.
I'm not into shopping for clothes much, but I'm comparing the level of logo-ing I saw in high end stores like Hugo/CK/Zegna in NYC or London to logos at places like Macys/mall stores/etc. I've seen the cheaper Armani branded stuff that has Armani Exchange written all over or the Louis Vuitton stuff, but typically, they also have higher priced products that aren't branded.

It's not a success story, nothing really changed and the party turned into the establishment (they didn't really have a plan), but it shows where people's heart is.

Right and left wing parties in Italy laughed at it at the beginning, nobody thought they would ever win.
Is it possible for signal to act like a chat client, and allow its users to send messages via Signal to someone using WhatsApp? Not sure what protocol WhatsApp and Signal use to send messages - was just wondering since most Email clients do this using SMTP.
You're missing the point. First, even with determinism and finite state, to witness the repeated state for any arbitrary program would require a meta machine with _more_ memory then the running machine.

That's the ultimate problem, internally you can't notice if you're going to terminate, and a machine of the same power can't either. It's gotta be stronger.
> The monetary base grew by 25% and velocity of money is approaching 1.0. That isn't small, someone has an insane amount of money staring them in the face and they've done nothing to justify it.

Remember that when the FED conducts open market operations to buy securities, what they are doing is swapping central bank reserves for securities. Only banks can participate in this process because only banks can hold central bank reserves. That money doesn't necessarily filter down to us and if it does, it takes a while. I guess that's where the Cantillion effect comes in, apparently. But banks don't just take that money and buy stocks... That's not how it works. The reserves sit on their balance sheet and they are used to settle transactions between banks. The reserves are also make up part of the bank's eligible capital. It is expected that banks awash in central bank reserves are better placed to lend/create credit because of the more favourable financial position and in this chart [0] you can see that M2 money supply (central bank reserves + bank deposits) has increased since the FED start conducting open market operations, which is the desired effect. The M2 money supply has increased because more people like you and me (and companies) are borrowing money to finance purchases.

edit: Amusingly, just realised that I made a logic error in the last sentence above. M2 includes M1 so presumably much of the increase in that chart is an increase in M1. This link [1] better shows what is going on. You can see the increase in M1 but there is also an increase in M2 throughout 2020. You can calculate this yourself by subtracting the number in the M1 column from the number in the M2 column and observe a modest increase - about 15% from Jan 2020 to December 2020. Presumably this is because of the sustained low short term rates and the increase in the M1 money supply via quantitative easing.

I thought it was analyzing satire, then the more I read, it was gospel. Then I found out the author worked where I was at one point (large enterprise) and it all made perfect sense. Internal re-orgs made sense, acquisitions made sense. I didn't agree with how they played out but they were understood.

> It it too much to ask to have the normal security protections that macOS provides and still being able to block Apple services with Little Snitch or Lulu or letting Apple services go through a VPN as well?

This. Apple is making the use of many security functions black or white: either you allow complete control by Apple, or you have little to no protection at all. Instead they could easily allow the user to customize, and make a selection that works for them (which was the standard in older versions of OSX - pre-Big Sur [1]). The above defending of a giant faceless corporation, by @filleduchaos, is what is mind-boggling.

This feature obviously helps protect some users (non tech-literate ones), but for many it means completely turning off many useful security features ('opting out' by turning off SIP) with a lack of any sort of granular control/customization, on a device they supposedly own. It's a shame this new capitalist encroachment on user privacy is met with such understanding.
