> Google bans Parler, conservative Twitter

Shows up for me: https://www.google.com/search?q=parler

If they didn't want to get banned from the app stores, they should've at least tried to follow the TOS. There is a subreddit dedicated to cataloguing all the death threats on the app, many of which are still up today: https://www.reddit.com/r/ParlerWatch/top/?t=month.

Reddit, Facebook and Twitter have entire content moderation teams for this sorta thing. Why should there be a double standard for conservative social media sites?
Yes, the squat if not done correctly can be bad for you back. Strangely I've never had a problem doing deadlifts with a degree of lumbar flexion, but I keep pinching a nerve in my lower back while doing squats.
I think I know what you mean! It does feel like there's something missing in Splunk when it comes to analyzing issues.

When there's a problem at work it's usually easy to see that something is wrong on a dashboard, but when I want to drill down into it I usually end up with ten tabs of different searches and Grafana dashboards that I'm trying to correlate between manually.

I haven't fully formed any ideas about how to tackle this since there are still fairly basic features missing in Logsuck that I need to work on first but it's definitely something I'll be thinking more about in the future!
You are correct, it's one of those terribly bad ideas that could be a billion dollar company if executed properly.
Yep, there's no substitute for a qualitative understanding of the system.
>Any portable build system, that already requires EVERY user to have that build system installed, is DoA for being a viable portable build system.

Why? I don't see how it's different from requiring a user to install a compiler to build a particular language. Operating systems don't have every compiler installed by default. To fulfill your requirements, one would have to re-implement every build system and compiler in POSIX shell. Honestly the "better way" that I see a lot of projects going with is to just support multiple options for build systems, because there is no one perfect solution that is going to work on all platforms.

The elephant in the room here is windows, and at this current point in time, CMake is about as portable there as autotools because Visual Studio has built in support for it.
You're totally missing my point, which is that all of those costs are abstract and protracted. They aren't felt as you're literally typing the characters; they can't be listed as concrete numbers in a budget. If an engineer is using a CAD tool and they add a part, they can see the space that's no longer available for other parts. Or they can see that the product would have to be made physically larger to accommodate it. There is concrete feedback to contend with during the development process, not just a vague notion of future reliability.
I think it's simplistic to point to Facebook as instrumental in these instances of unrest. Sure, they were used as an instrument of communication but had Facebook not been there people would just use SMS or IRC. The 2002 Gujarat unrest, for instance, predates Facebook. We know what deadly unrest still forms in the absence of Facebook and other social media. I don't think we have evidence to claim that social media exacerbates unrest, versus the simple fact that more people are on social media and it's becoming a more popular communication tool than SMS.
It's not accurate, unfortunately. Reform is as ambiguous as defund. Do you mean totally eradicate and then reform a department? Or do you mean just telling them "do better"? Are you talking about re-forming the police or reforms for police?

Then change the laws...Corporations are not public utilities. They are not obligated to provide service to anyone.

Indeed, they have to police their platforms to avoid wrongful death suits, and keep advertisers happy.

edit: And to be honest, this is no different then all the "Google shutdown my business for no reason" posts we see on HN. The conventional wisdom there, is "don't build your business on third party infrastructure/services. I'd think the same logic holds for politicians. Hell - they have they're own TV network (c-span) - why don't they use it more ?
https://gitlab.com/docmenthol/autotable

It's a datatable written in Elm. I wrote it early on while I was learning, so I'm certain there is a lot I could update about it. Even still, it does its job pretty well. Sorting, filtering, editing, and reordering columns are all there. The way it's constructed allows new features to be built on top of it without any need to learn a table (or component) API. Just interact with the table state directly, the types make it pretty easy.

One major problem is that columns are obnoxious to define. It's just a giant record type. And in general I'm just not happy with the code. I'll likely revisit this project again soon and rewrite some key parts.
Because if they used due process a lot of them would have been banned a long time ago.

They let Trump get away with a CONSTANT stream of bullshit and insults over the last four years. Their PR people had to constantly engage the media to tell them that he only kept his account because he was POTUS.

He isn't gonna be POTUS much longer, there are about 40 other platforms he can use, and he's got an entire press apparatus.

I'm tired of this revisionist nonsense. Again: Trump and others would have been banned A LONG TIME AGO if they weren't elected officials who spent money on these platforms according to their TOSes.
I'm surprised that the US imports any crude from Saudi Arabia. Venezuela and Mexico (and even Europe) are much closer and oil is the ultimate of International commodities.

I had assumed that the US patrolled the Persian gulf* to maintain price stability (as a commodity, a disruption of supplies there would affect prices globally).

* Since the 80s or so at least. I don't know if the US was or was not importing Arabian crude before then.

No, the real problem is people getting angry because they think they understand the underlying issues.

There is no reasoning that will allow down that anger. No looking at actual facts and statistics.
It's not that I'm happy, it's that I just don't give a fuck. Your doom and gloom falls completely flat because being banned from Twitter is the mildest possible consequence these people will ever face.
No one is worried about a mentally deranged guy running around in a costume taking over the legitimately elected government. No one is actually worried about this; The democrats are not actually worried about this; Republicans are not worried about this; perhaps some mentally unstable people are worried about this?
That was kind of the point of the article — the precedent once set is hard to limit to those with press offices. There was no argument with the particular action in this case.

I think they're both incorrect.

They ran the model on historical data. Of 4 a priori known P&Ds, the model detected 2 of them. To say that they've got accuracy of a 50% or "no better than a coin toss", ignores all of the non-P&D events that it correctly didn't identify as a P&D. If you did a coin toss, you would flip the coin much more than 4 times.
I'm working in a relational language (https://tablam.org) that hopefully will be a great way to massage data and have in-built support for "linq/sql"-like queries across all the data sources (from site):

-- A column, aka: Vectors...
let qty := [10.5, 4.0, 3.0]
-- Like APL/kdb+ operations apply to more than scalars
prices * 16.0

-- The ? (query) operator allow to do SQL-like queries to anything
let doubled := qty ?select #0 * 2.0

let products := open("products.csv")
-- like files!
for p in products ?where #price > 0.0 do
print(p)
end
--so, we can do joins between anything:
for p in cross(products, qty) ?limit 10 do
print(p.products.price * p.qty)
end

I already have a crude working prototype, but need help (hands or funding) to move forward!

My long-term goal is to provide an alternative to Access/Excel/FoxPro with a full suite of decoupled components (language + rdbms components + interactive data repl + form builder) to capture the spirit of what this kind of tools allow but with a more solid foundation.
You're correct, only 24 (no placebo group so I guess that's the equivalent of 48?). I thought it was bigger...

Election rules were changed in unorthodox ways due to a global pandemic. You have to admit that the election was unlike any other on recent memory.

The losing side, given this unorthodox election, wanted some validation of results, as well as to legally challenge the way they were done (PA's changes).

The response was one of derision and essentially shutting out the right from discourse. No effort was made a conciliation. This had the predictable effect of galvanizing people that there was indeed fraud.

If you think that these people had no reason to be angry, you aren't paying attention. If you can understand the frustrations and lead up to the BLM movement, but don't even want to pay lip service to this, you are either a horrible person or stupid. Take your pick: evil, ignorant, or both?
I don’t see anything bad in the license? Am I missing something?
This isn't wrong, but it is misleading. Google banned Parler's app, from their own app store. At the very least, Android devices allow different app stores.

But the whole thing is irrelevant anyway, because neither Google nor Apple filter web pages you can view in their respective web browsers, and Parlor, or anyone, can just make a normal website.

Apple's (and Google's, as far as I know) complaint is not "right wing politics is immoral" - although if it was, I'd be OK with that. Their complaint is simply "you're not moderating your users as required by our app store rules", and as a user, I'm fully on Apple's side here.
I posit the existence of a giant duck living on Uranus.

The lack of evidence to the contrary simply isn't enough to suggest that it isn't the case.
I think you are ignoring the facts: Clojure at the moment is the most widely used programming language with a strong FP emphasis.

Clojure gathers more conferences and meetups, has more active podcasts, books, jobs, etc. Many companies are using Clojure in production: Apple, Walmart Labs, Cisco, Pandora, CircleCI, Roamresearch, Grammarly, Pitch - are just a few that come to mind. And they're not using it for the small stuff; for example, Cisco has built its entire security platform with it.

Clojure is the third most popular JVM lang. To be fair though, this is mainly due to Kotlin taking over Scala. Also, Clojure probably is the second most popular lisp dialect on GitHub (after Emacs-lisp).

So I think the claim is correct. At least within the FP world - Clojure currently dominates over Haskell, OCaml, F#, Scala, Elixir, Erlang, etc.
I used to subscribe to this approach of personal responsibility. But even if absolutely everyone made all the personal choices they can, using up all their energy and time, they would cut world emissions by between 10 and 20%. Climate change is simply not something we can fix this way, and if we focus on that tiny chunk of it, we ignore the really important conversation about the companies that generate the vast majority.
Wild bee populations have also dropped like a stone and that is also worth worrying for.
I mean the white house is free to issue press releases. It's not like Trump has been silenced.

I think this is a demonstration why CMake is bad.

Unless it's a general purpose programming language, being Turing complete should always be listed in the "Con" side. It literally means the effort needed to understand its complexity can be unbounded.
This is not just "we don't want to do business with you". This is "we don't you want to have a platform anywhere".

I start caring when several tech monopolies co-ordinate to take down alternative platforms like parler.
As a republicans living in a rural area, I have to disagree with your logic.

The issue with Trump isn’t his politics but his policy. I agree with his politics, we are both nominally Republican after all, but when he goes to implement it the policy is incompetent at best and actively harmful at worst.

For example, both Trump and I support the ideal of strong Republican leadership. I want to achieve that via elections, he aimed to achieve that through illegal power grabs attempts at last 4 years capped off with inciting a violent riot against his political opponents.

He has simply gone too far.

He stood in front of a crowd and told them to seize the party for himself, then after the riot called them patriots and told them they are loved.

Were any laws broken by Twitter? Don’t businesses in the US have nearly every right to arbitrarily deny service to people (with a few exceptions when it’s explicitly denying on the basis of race, etc.)?

Twitter literally didn’t exist 15 years ago. How can a lack of access to Twitter be an an infringement on free speech then?

On Linux mmap_sem contention is a well-known concurrency bottleneck, you may have been hitting that. Multiple efforts over the years have failed to fix it, IIRC. I guess one day they'll find a good solution, but until then, take care.

The answer depends on what state and city the business is located in.

Political affiliation is a protected class in some states[0].

California[1], for example, also prohibits discrimination on gender identity, ancestry, sexual orientation, AIDS/HIV status, medical condition, political activities or affiliation, veteran status, or status as a stalking victim.

> "I don't want businesses to be forced to do business with people it doesn't want to "

But we are not talking about forcing general businesses doing business with general people. We are taking about allowing publicly elected representatives of the people having a voice on the platform that the majority of the country uses for communication.

You are generalising, then building your argument on the generalisation.

The violent crime rate for black men is roughly equal to the portion of police shooting victims which are black. Violent crime rate (excluding murder) is roughly 2x the average, and so is the death rate to police.

That's why I think we need to be focusing on why black people have a higher crime rate, and how we can fix the societal problems that lead to that. Reducing the number of police shootings is a great goal, but so long as there is a racial (and gender) divide in the crime rate there is going to be a divide in the police shooting rate.
I didn't say get rid of it. How about requiring a warning label on these shows? I mean the lawyers for Jones and Carlson have already argued they aren't meant to be taken seriously. I think a label run on their shows would be enough.
The Feds done nothing of that sort. Donald Trump is tweeting, because he wants to tweet. Feds are simply unable to control him and it is fair to say that they should not be able to control whether president tweets or not.
Thanks for your reply.

Will this include the contrib modules even for Android? And iOS?

Once I sat down and read the Cmake basics, yes, it was easy enough to get OpenCV working with basicallly the code you posted, except I couldn't find a way to include the contrib modules in an Android version, it would always complain Aruco wasn't there.

Until I went and compiled OpenCV myself, and that was the part that was a massive pain in my ass - CMake failing to include architecture information in the library files unless you specify it on the command line before running Cmake GUI, even tho it is an option in the GUI. Tho perhaps that's more of a failing of the OpenCV build script than Cmake itself?

I did just recompile OpenCV myself, so I did get there in the end and it's all working now, but I'm sure I'll be tweaking all parts of this project for months to come so if there's an easier/proper way, I'm happy to learn.

It also needs to be statically linked.

Note: I'm not a real programmer, I don't know enough to have even been able to get an entry level job in the industry yet, I'm an idiot that doesn't belong on this website. I'm just trying to learn as I go.
Then there's not much concern with the Twitter ban, since the vast majority of Americans don't use it. The platform most used by normal people is Youtube, where Trump is not banned.

There's no way to say that conclusively. Influenza also spreads via aerosols, and the size of the virion is in the same range as that of the coronavirus. It's unclear why the same physical measures, applied with the same degree of compliance, should fail to stop one but nearly completely stop the other.
I would like to build some battery management system for grid independent homes or smart grids. I know very little about writing controller software for hardware that regulate power intake and output for batteries. Preferably I would like this system to be capable to use any set and type of battery. And then the controller takes care of optimally using them.
I'm not sure this is true. Before Section 230 was a thing, companies were not liable for what users wrote on their platforms so long as they didn't moderate legal content [illegal content would be like housing ads with landlords specifying preferred race of tenants, or threats against the President].

A classifieds website could definitely exist post-230, and many did pre-230.

I found the wheel problems with Curiosity to be super interesting. They designed this incredible vehicle, and landed it in this incredible way, but making the wheels just a tiny bit too thin (in a well-justified pursuit of optimization) wound up limiting the scope of the mission when met with unexpected terrain. It shows just how small of a margin of error they have in making this all work.
Context switching really is a huge hassle which is why I absolutely abhor email logins. We as user have become privileged with high speed interactions on the web and any hit to it will definitely have an effect on user retention. Also keep in mind that most internet services are bottlenecked by network latency. When asking a user to login with email it adds in the time the user takes to physically navigate through the pages of the email client and the 'n' network requests needed to open an email and follow a link.

See https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/ie/Documents/... for more information on how cutting hairs on latency can dramatically affect an application's adoption rate
It depends.

What are you doing? What are the constraints? What is the problem?

Do you need innovation? Do you need plumbing?

Can you lift your eyes and see the value in a radically new way? Does it look like what you are already doing, or does a beginner's mind really suggest a new approach?

The author sounds like a crabby old guy who doesn't want to change. Probably an artifact of the topic. But it *is* a real problem- people get locked into fancy-chasing. This introduces risk into the project delivery: team based (knowledge) and tech (not adequately debugged).

I've worked at length in "fancy" languages and some of the fancy tech. My conclusion is you have a limited amount of investment you can do. Some of this is team based (language learning, keeping the employees happy), some is in product, some is in tech stack (FlashyFancypants DB and SparklePants.JS). Good tech leadership includes picking out what to take risks on, judging appropriate ROI. Note this holds true for open source, not just business projects!

I work in a Clojure shop, so I interact with the rewards and risks of this strategy right now. My last team/company, we chose Go for the team language. It wasn't as unilaterally good as some might hope. Nor was it as unilaterally as bad! It was just another language.

The worlds big emitters are not products or services we use directly. They are significantly up the food chain from us. Changing our individual behaviors have basically no impact on demand for anything they do. People aren’t going to live in half the size of house or get more roommates, or stop having children, or stop using office space, so the construction industry continues to be one of the largest emitters in the world.

Changing this requires focus on the largest problem companies and extremely targeted lobbying. Individual choice pressures just make us fight with each other while we burn to death.
