That was not the case on January 6--the only GA senator a week ago was Loeffler, as she retains her seat until the certification of the runoff results.
Thats correct. Im surprised 50 people upvoted it to the front page without anyone commenting. Maybe that happens a lot I haven't checked.

Even bigger problem might be your own content hosted on public squares. I wonder if Instagram/Fb/TikTok are declared a public square, does it mean that I can't delete someone's comment under my own photo, status or video because it violates their free speech even though it is my profile or page?
I remain convinced that rewrite was a purely anti-competitive move to stop/slow Teller and others. As someone that worked on a startup that required API access to transaction data, it was a huge pain in the ass having to write and rewrite screen-scrapers.
I do not think the problem is that we lost the pretense of objectivity. I am fine listening to people who are not objective, and that is everybody really, the problem is the lack of intellectual honesty and basic fairness. That is just revolting and incredibly damaging. Taibbi is liberal minded as is almost anyone in any creative profession, but he is fair and not full of it. That is more than enough.
It's literally just the birthday paradox. You get collisions very quickly for 32-bit numbers. This test finds collisions on Intel too.
I'm not sure I understand the question. In my mind, if you cannot reason through how to handle non-expected things in your code, I'm going to think twice about hiring you. Code being able to account for erroneous situations is as important as your golden path because as we know software should be predictable but regularly is not. Especially so in the world of micro-services where so many integration paths are changing and in flux.

Are you suggesting we should only interview candidates to code the happy case and not consider how they will reason through what to do when the input isn't what they expected or a dependency fails to produce results?

If UOKiK got some reports from customers that something is potentially working against customers, then an investigation is started. This is not an exceptional case of CDPR that's under radar. It happens tons of times: Misleading labels, incorrect ingredients on some food, something is overpriced etc. And this is wonderful, as it is one of organization that can actually force a positive change.

But, 10% is a maximum penalty posted. For the instance [1] shows that in 2018 maximum penalty was 931k PLN (~300k $).
Another case [2] shows that penalty can be easily deceased if subject is cooperating (-50%) and further more decreased if subject takes penalty without court.

At the moment CDPR has done something extraordinary that is: extended refund policy for the title. Forcing that also on PlayStation (and taking ricochet by pulling title from the store). Providing a few hot fixes for very very fresh product and stating future work in next couple of months.

I do understand that players on base PS4 and XBOX are mad. And in my opinion UOKiK can help taking their side. But with such a complicated case, where lots of players do play and enjoy the game (even on these consoles). The 10% penalty is simply impossible. Also I don't know if it's is at all, as there is the refund policy in place.

TL;DR; UOKiK does that as requested and expected from them, but is very unlikely that 10% penalty will take place.
On March 4, 2020, Michelle Odden tweeted about 800 epidemiologists not wearing masks.

Because I don't commute anymore, I'm way behind in my podcasts. Three podcasts I listen to, and am behind in, are the Naked Scientists (a British popular science broadcast), and the Nature and Science podcasts (which cover weekly scientific news). The interesting thing is that, as I listen to them now, I'm going through a live view of the past with present hindsight. It's fun.

One interesting thing is that aerosol, airborne transmission of many viruses was (and is?) controversial, or at least an open research question. (Recognition of aerosol transmission of infectious agents: a commentary [Jan 2019] https://bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s128...)

Up until at least mid-April, the default belief of the medical community seems to have been that Corona viruses were not, or at least not particularly, airborne. Instead it would be spread by physical contact (contaminated surfaces, etc.) or large droplets produced by coughing or sneezing. As a result, the default use of masks was not particularly recommended.[1] (And that's before you consider the scarcity of PPE for medical users at the time.)

After about mid-April, the facts on the ground seem to change, and things like aerosol transmission and asymptomatic spreaders suddenly become a much larger concern. (And a lot of people on my podcasts got sheepish with the egg on their faces.)

As a result, it's not particularly surprising that an epidemiologist would not consider wearing a mask to be particularly useful in early March.

[1] One thing the article does not touch on is the tendency of actual experts to get feelings akin to religious hysteria based on internal fights, with the resulting dramatic statements spilling over into outside conversations. (I had this one paper ripped to shreds by a old-time network guy because I and my advisor had the temerity to consider keepalives/heartbeats.) I suspect there may be something behind the default assumption up until April that masks were bad.
The people voted to remove Donald Trump from office and he wouldn't and still does not accept it coupled with his calls to violent action. If he's willing to drag the entire country I can only imagine what he would try to do to a company that defied him, Trump is an abuser. While any of these companies could have taken action, I understand to some extent why they did not. It doesn't make it right, doesn't mean I condone their lack of response, but I can see why a company did not go heads up with this person and waited for the appropriate time to take action.
Somehow that doesn’t count in the lefty HN echo chamber.

> And, there must be some types of moderation to all speech, all.

There definitely needs to be moderation. But having the power to moderate speech on such a significant platform in the hands of 3 private parties is bad. Not that I think their recent decisions are wrong. But the lack of recourse is scary, and dangerous. Not just dangerous because 'what if they abuse it'.

It is dangerous because people censored by them are much more likely to feel that it _is_ abuse. Hence they don't take the signal and instead have a massive sense of injustice. "How can a decision so big, without appeal being possible, be fair" they think.

> Social media is more like a small printing press that will print anyone's little pamphlet. It may be new but it was never the only venue and never will be.

Social media is the sole source of news and discussion for a lot of people. Sure, there are alternatives, but they fail to reach a large amount of people.
> Would an outlet that dispassionately reported the fact that Trump lost the election truly have been able to have been "perceived as neutral arbiters" by Trump supporters?

Considering Trump and his supporters are a symptom, not a cause (although at this point it's a feedback loop) of our broader post-truth environment, I think the minimum is a newspaper with a track record of neutrality (i.e., it's not sufficient for any reasonable person to completely change their opinion of NYT or MSNBC or whomever based on a single dispassionate piece). I think the extent to which our society esteems neutral institutions ("neutral" within some reasonable error margin) is the extent to which we can see a reversal of Trumpism (and probably the woke progressivism that preceded it). There's always a fringe, but I yearn for the days when extremist viewpoints were (rightly) marginalized.
Between 8 PM Friday and 4 AM Monday morning, nothing about potential legal liability changed. The decline over the weekend TWTR banned Trump was larger than the decline following the riot itself.
Not sure how your personal anecdote comes into play. So you have replaced your phone every 2 years while it's still working, good for you. But have you considered that some people will replace their phone only when it's broken beyond repair?
They have a voice. They have a congressional representative, two senators, and a vote in the presidential election.

Developers today have great tools to quickly launch small projects without thinking of infrastructure (Firebase, Vercel, Heroku). But these tools don't work for teams. Big tech companies that can afford dedicated platform teams tend to build self-service tools for developers on top of AWS / Azure / GCP to launch new services and manage environments. But smaller teams who can't afford it are out of luck. If they have DevOps expertise in the team then they'll write a lot of repetitive Terraform, and if they don't they'll often struggle for weeks learning all the AWS concepts and make lots of mistakes.

We thought this is wrong, and built Digger

Digger manages your cloud account, allows to create apps and microservices from templates (can be custom), generates and runs Terraform, and manages environments. So developers get modern Vercel-like experience while DevOps engineers still retain full control. Starting on AWS with Digger is just as simple as on Heroku, but cheaper and you get a future-proof stack with DevOps best practices.
I believe more is coming, but on a European level:

Rockstar is smart in that it they don't hype up their games at all. You won't even know GTA6 is going to be released until the product is 6 months from finishing.
32-bit is also a pretty bad RNG to test in this manner.

Birthday paradox says that you'll only need 2^16 (65,536) runs before you get a collision. 64-bit would have a collision in one in 2^32 (4-billion). With 2000 x 10 tests (== 20,000 tests per run), there's a pretty high chance of a collision actually.

There's a lot of issues complicating the testing of something like this. I'm sure the core fact (that RDRAND might be doing something wrong) is there. But to properly vet all issues and actually get to the bottom of this bug will take some effort.
and here we are arguing of the slippery road of pulling down posts because it's against freedom of speech. As if the risk to democracy and its people is not higher due to letting all this happen. If the republicans do not come around in the next few years, I fear for America.
Where CDPR really screwed up is not targeting last gen consoles as the primary development target. PC gamer folks are going to have to put down their pitchforks for a second, and bear with me.

From the business perspective if you want to make money you must target the lowest, most common, denominator. Game studios that do cross platform launches do the vast majority of their sales on console. It's not even close. Even with TW3, 70% of their sales were on console, and that was considered low by industry standards.

What CDPR has done here by shipping a broken game on last gen is to light a pallet of $100 bills on fire. It's possible they don't survive this as a studio, but it could very well be deserved.
While this is all good, very few places AFAIK actually process their HTTP server logs into a form that can be queried by SQL. Google does it, certainly, but many smaller shops don't. Has this been your experience as well?
I think this assumption is worth at least casually testing.

Turning off sounds easy -- Except that it's almost certainly connected to, or adjacent to, the network. Where else are the large volumes of training data coming from?

Presumably being super-intelligent the AI would be:

1) likely to anticipate being turned off,

2) super-normally capable to identify & traverse any network security measures;

3) potentially also highly capable to identify & traverse weaknesses in other (eg. social or physical) security measures).

4) possibly able to be covert/ stealthy actions via the network.

5) possibly able, if able to reform on the Internet, to escape to there.

I'm fairly much on the super-AI fence. But in a dystopian scenario the proposal of a super AI being able to be turned off as the key means of safety, seems scarcely credible.

Note even that without being able to reform on the Internet (eg physical embodiment requires singularly specialized computing equipment), I can't logically see that extreme hostile actions (destroy global finance system, subversive propaganda campaigns, launch wars, launch nukes) are obviously easy to preclude.

Preventing them from promoting content for engagement's sake would be a good first step.

It's one thing to be a neutral platform and allow people to say what they want (even if it sometimes means things that shouldn't be said), but at least the platform here is neutral and doesn't directly profit off the bad content (or at least doesn't profit off it any more than it profits off "good" content).

It's a totally different thing where the platform starts acting as a publisher and starts promoting the bad content (since divisive/outrageous content generates the most "engagement"). Here, the platform directly profits off bad content and should be held liable for it; you shouldn't be able to have your cake and eat it too.

I read through the comments on the issue -- correct me if I'm wrong, but with the program they were running (generating 2000 random numbers) isn't there a 5% chance of generating duplicates, even with RDRAND working as intended?

If that is case, maybe RDRAND shouldn't be used for uniqueness.

> Nanci Pelosi tweet May 2017: Our election was hijacked. There is no question. Congress has a duty to #ProtectOurDemocracy & #FollowTheFacts.

Which...they didn’t do. Republicans blocked having witnesses or documents appear during the Senate impeachment proceedings.

So no, collusion was not largely proven to be false, because once it moved to the Senate, nobody was called to testify under oath since Republicans blocked it. The Mueller report remains largely unvetted, and while its conclusions are weak due to Justice Department policy on what a sitting president can be charged with (or accused of? I am not clear on this distinction), its evidence appears to be strong. We don’t know if it holds up or not. It was never rigorously examined, because Republicans blocked it.
I said you should be put on a registry for sexual abuse, the registry the US has is for "that sort of thing", which apparently includes things I wouldn't consider to be sexual abuse. Just because I promote the idea of a sex offenders registry doesn't mean I automatically agree with any possible implementation.

> the state decides, since they decide what constitutes sexual abuse.

True. But its a decision that can be made pretty formulaically from a persons known actions/behaviour, as opposed to predicting their future actions/behaviour.
Indeed, I don't remember it the way you phrased it. Sure, such stories may have been written, but I don't remember them, so they must not have been a very prominent theme, unlike "Russian election meddling".

You're also feeding into the "basket of deplorables" view of things, which is an image constructed to explain Trump the way certain people want him explained: A convenient narrative that lets the reader claim the moral high ground effortlessly. Racists are easily dismissed, one does not need to bother hearing them out. Fast food for the mind.
Other servers like clangd have documented extensions, but I see your point. I’m glad the protocol is discussed and developed in the open - I think it’s really helped the IDE story in other editors.

Taken together primarily, along with numerous other tweets in secondary. It wasn't just those two.
I would like to offer a different angle

> Firefox and safari

For a long time Firefox called home... not to Mozilla but to Google upon installation (hence, before you could install any privacy extensions that would have prevented Google tracking). This was only rectified after a number of tweets about this problem became viral. The fact that Mozilla’s survival depends on its relationship with Google also created some other issues over time so after being a user for many years, I decided that Firefox was no longer a viable option for me.

Safari is a non starter since I can’t even use it outside of Apple’s walled garden (no Linux or Windows version is available).

All of the above in my personal opinion outweighs the issues that Brave had, which I don’t negate but in my eyes are minor.

So for now I stay with Brave.

Edit: I guess what I’m trying to say is that there is no perfect solution out there and you have to evaluate pros and cons based on your personal circumstances or goals.
Incidentally, I like the idea of the affiliate link behavior if it was opt-in. I'd opt into it, if it really provided some trickle of funding back to Brave.

Brave is my favorite browser. It's the best web experience out of the box. No digging into settings to specify my default search engine (DuckDuckGo), ads are blocked by default without having to turn on extensions (which I see as an attack vector).
> Now, lots of people feel they have taxation without representation.

Uh, what? Trump lost according to the rules of the Electoral College and lost the popular vote by millions.

This is just a regular old election loss. Why should it be worse than any other loss in the modern era?
This was overly harsh, but Google has a lot of sway over the direction of the Chromium project which is unfortunate. Sampson from Brave also told me that they have yet to not have a patch accepted by Google. Who knows what the future holds regarding the direction of the Chromium project.

RDRAND can output a 64-bit number.

The intrinsic used is the 32-bit version of RDRAND, which is... suboptimal... for a test like this. As you've noted.

Even then, RDRAND has no entropy guarantees (again: see my top comment about RDSEED vs RDRAND).
I'm guessing it would be more practical to make a method by which dang could easily reinstate a users' messages/account after receiving the required legal documentation. I also assume it only applies to Polish citizens, filing the complaints with their courts.
I think it depends on level you're interviewing at. New college hires rarely have much a clue about this but engineers and senior engineers should be able to have a conversation about it. To be fair because of time constraint, I don't have candidates code this but do want to entertain the discussion. For example, what happens if i pass "illegalValue" to your method, or what do you think your solution should do when the service dependency you call fails to return.

The sentiment is important because it shows how a candidate ties the requirements to the customer use case that it is serving. Not being able to connect these two is a concern in my mind especially for those who are not new college hires with little real world experiemnce.
Considering how Trump is never there for his supporters, I'm surprised he has any left.

I'm skeptical that there will be any more significant protests anywhere in the country. The Capitol mob was a portion of the most hard-core who travelled to D.C. this late after the election to show support for what exactly?

This is wholly independent of the issue of persistently casting doubt on the quality of the election since before the election, which obviously isn't right.

Also the double-standard with more than 100 days of BLM protests -- that were often protests but also were often riots -- is kinda funny. Trump is involved so suddenly it's domestic terrorism even though very little property was damaged, certainly not buildings burnt to the ground and people murdered in the street like we saw before.

The hyperbole on both sides really needs to be dialed down to 1. Noone has behaved themselves well throughout this presidency.
I guess I read too quickly, and my eyes glanced right over that. Thanks!!
I think we fear ourselves (rightly) and super-fear a super-self (rightly). If this theoretical thing has the capacity at all to interact the way humans do then it will probably be brutal to at least someone and possibly most or everyone.
