Well what is your suggested response? I think the lack of calling out terrorism and fascism in this country have already resulted four years of "pushing authoritarian and unethical measures" by the US executive.
"... looking at the examples provided in the buzzfeed articles" is another way of saying "I ate the cherry pie made from the cherry-picking by the cherry-pickers." Buzzfeed is about as even-handed as the Norse god Tyr.
> They probably didn't have an easy time finding new employees too because of the nature and controversy associated with the site, potentially part of the reason for lack of moderation.

Parler established itself as a "free speech" social network platform. Part of its objective, based on that principle, was minimal or no moderation. Ironically, of course, they banned many people who came in with left-wing views. Which means they actually worked to create the extremist bubble that is now causing them problems with others.
I’ve been following Hundred Rabbits’ Rekka[1] and Devine[2] for a while. Their sites are full of interesting tidbits on different topics and projects. If you liked the article I recommend having a look at them.

What makes you think that this is "very rural" or a special case? Why does it matter if it is rural -- should cars not work in non-urban environments?

I have 100% never been around cattle enough to know for sure, but I was under the impression that cattle crossings didn't so much spook cows as are uncomfortable to cross and therefore they stay away.
I sympathize with your (mother-in-law's) situation! I, too, own a Samsung tablet from that period.

Have you checked whether you could install LineageOS or some other custom ROM on the tablet? That way, you might be able to extend its lifetime by another couple years.
Indeed. I was introduced to him via his appearances on the Woodwrights Shop. I really appreciate the publishing work he does. We've bought I think five or six books from Lost Art Press, and I'm sure there are more to come.
Do you actually have data to back that up? I read your article, which (no undue disrespect intended) looked to be full of unsubstantiated qualitative data/graphs and opinion. Are you an "expert"? Or are you trying to get medium clicks on your article/ purchases of your book?
The description "free speech social network" is very heavily associated with far right extremists.

Much like, for example, the gadsden flag.

"Allied intelligence noticed each captured tank had a unique serial number. With careful observation, the Allies were able to determine the serial numbers had a pattern denoting the order of tank production. Using this data, the Allies created a mathematical model to determine the rate of German tank production. They used it to estimate that the Germans produced 255 tanks per month between the summer of 1940 and the fall of 1942."

This information was used to estimate force size and thus counter it, and it turns out this method was surprisingly accurate.
> I would like to see more transparency and sortition applied to government.

I agree.

> It’s probably impossible to do away with the career politicians since they are specialists

Again I must emphasize that it is not the career part of this that is the problem. The only alternative that doesn't involve career politicians is electing amateur ones who have no experience navigating the political landscape.

> I think we should do more to keep them accountable like selecting a group of people whose task is to both directly observe and petition elected officials.

I could envision a system like that that I could support but there'd be a lot of complications to work out. We should probably have something like that for police too.

> Basically solving the problem of politicians being so far removed from the people by bringing a sample of the people to the politician

This I just find kinda funny, since that's already how it works. You can get a meeting with your senator or congressman directly, though it isn't easy. Talking to one of their staff is pretty doable. Letters and phone calls are low-effort, but of course they also count for a lot less. The term "special interest groups" gets bandied about frequently in derogatory fashion, and while it does include corporate lobbyists it also covers hobby clubs, activist groups of various kinds, and trade unions, all of which make their cases to senators and congressmen on behalf of their members (which may include you). And of course your locally elected officials also meet with them about their concerns.
I was also curious about Parler but, when going to sign up, it asked for my phone number. Ummmm, no thank you. That kind of association is like going to a protest with your cellphone. Pretty easy to get the wrong kind of association attached to you.
What I don't understand is: if you're going to host something like Parler, knowing that it is extremely controversial, why wouldn't you host it yourselves? The money they would have saved over using AWS (at the scale quoted in the previous comments) could have paid for the servers and the people to manage them. I suppose the deplatformers would have just gone after whatever data center they used, though, or if they'd have setup shop in their garage, then the ISP they used. It's turtles all the way down. My point is that I can't wrap my head around the fact that everyone is just assumed to use a cloud provider now, and the act of racking your own servers and managing your own proxies and firewalls seems to be a dead art.

>When repair labor costs more than automated production, then it's cheaper to replace whole units than mend parts

We're not there yet. There are profitable businesses that can do repair and/or replacement of broken soldered IC chips in laptops and smartphones (see YouTube channels of Jessa Jones and Louis Rossmann). So cost of repair is not a barrier in many cases.

The problems they highlight, that should be very easy to fix through regulation, is lack of access to technical manuals, lack of access to diagnostic equipment and tech giants (like Apple) bullying their suppliers to prevent sale of replacement parts to independent repair shops.
I do not understand what you are saying, could you clarify?

> which led to the deaths of millions of people (many of them innocent).

Actually, looking up the numbers right now, the total civilian death rate is perhaps 1 million at most, more likely somewhere in the 100,000s. Iraq Body Count gives ~200k civilian deaths; estimation from the number of internally-displaced peoples (basically figuring that displaced-to-dead ration is between 5:1 and 10:1) suggests a number more like ~700k civilian deaths. Extrapolating excess death counts suggest that the latter number is more accurate.
I find it slightly ironic that the fruits of the whole ARPANET project around network routing resilience in the face of node failure due to enemy attack (domestic or foreign) ends up threatening the health of the Republic because we can no longer tell who is an ememy (domestic or foreign) on the resilient network.
You don’t think it’s more likely that a person who talked about fishing also searched for fishing gear using Google? Or “Likes” fishing on Facebook? Or follows a fishing person on Twitter?

The technology and storage that would be required to parse non-device-directed speech doesn’t exist and wouldn’t be profitable since there are so many other reliable signals that are much cheaper.
Elizabeth Anderson has made this point quite aptly: every market has rules and norms.

Yeahhh... No.

A good half the problems in the world are created when we try to force oversized round pegs through undersized square holes. Besides which, was Parler not the site that required excessive amounts of personal info just to sign up?

That means if authentication failed open, that could mean that this researcher has obtained access to reams of PII. Which they'll deny or state that of courae they didn't collect or look at, but the potential breach is large enough that doing something like this is so unconscionably reckless and stupid, it ranks right up there with the event that even has this site in the public eye in the first place.

Another brick through the stained glass windows of American civil discourse. We don't even need other country's help to push us to the brink because of reckless moves like this.

Plenty of engineers make mistakes, many are just as ego centric. Go to Defcon, talk to all the expert "hackers" I guarantee 95% of the people there make common mistakes, we all do.
That is quite the hypothetical. Given that the internet is a worldwide phenomenon, it seems incredibly unlikely that all server companies and internet service providers would refuse their business.

In particular, the 'bulletproof hosting' market is still going strong. For example, just look at The Pirate Bay, who have managed to stay online and operational despite years of attempts by powerful corporations and nation states to take it down.

I'm in the same boat. What kept me from replacing the battery is that the device is EOL and won't receive any software updates, including security fixes. Did you also change the firmware?

Hybrids are absolutely the most effective way to go here in the near term, there is just no question in my mind. I'm honestly very, very surprised we haven't seen that take off yet-- either it's a lot harder than it looks, or owners of large fleets are irrationally gunshy. I've been expecting it to show up and start kicking ass any minute now for at least the last 7 years.
Sure, my mistake. I meant something looser.

Only that the types can be analysed structurally (ie., pattern matched).

In C++, etc. there's a "radical nominalism" in which the type was very opaque, ie., encapsualated.
That's a tough guarantee to make. Apple has already been putting in in some effort on their M1 macs to ensure that other operating systems can be booted, without compromising their bootloader's security. https://mobile.twitter.com/marcan42/status/13331260180689551...

While I don't think it's likely, it would be _possible_ for Apple to open this up on the phone side too
Creating those updates costs money. At what point is the cost no longer worth it? It is not realistic for companies to support every phone forever; I think that's something we can all agree on.

Would you be willing to pay whatever your share is of how much generating the update would cost, in order to get it? With a clear indicator when you buy the phone that you automatically get a subscription to 3 years worth of security updates; past that, you pay whatever amount is needed to keep it up to date.
I am certain most software engineers would abysmally fail the Security+ exam, which is the entry level for security practice.

But a far more expedient process is to just give candidates an essay exam to see if they are functionally literate in their profession.
It's more like if I rent you an apartment in my building and then find out you're using it to manufacture bombs. If you end up blowing up a bridge and it can be determined that I knew about your actions, I can potentially be held liable (in the PR sense, if not the legal sense) for abetting terrorism.

AFAIK keycloack by RedHat which is auth as service, passes token as is.

Not sure what you mean by "token becomes too powerful and can be made to call any service." Each sub-service can have in token what is required to access it, and that can be managed by main frontend service.

There is a limit to token size but you can easily optimize claims and stuff to not go overboard in majority of cases.
FWIW Wikipedia lists that number of users as of November 2020. It had a huge influx of users in December and obviously January, to the point that it was number 1 in the App Store before it got pulled. So the 4MM user number is probably very off.
It is true that Muslim centers preserved some ancient Greek learning, but you overestimate this phenomenon and your depiction of the christianized Roman Empire destroying the classical tradition is inaccurate caricature. The reason we prize Muslim traditions for preserving Aristotle, for example, is not because the the Roman Empire post-Constantine had no interest in Greek learning, it is because Byzantine thought favored the rival (Neo-)platonism instead.

The importance of Ancient Greek literature in the Byzantine Empire is readily evident from things like Homer remaining a cornerstone of Byzantine education all the way through the first millennium, and Christian polemicists starting to write in Attic Greek instead of the Koine.

If you want to see just how much of the Greek tradition was preserved in the Christian world, and not the Muslim world, simply visit the Classical Philology section of any university library and look at the manuscript sources (including, yes, monastery copies) of any Oxford Classical Texts or Bibliotheca Teubneriana edition of Greek writers.
It's not mentioned anywhere in the nearly 20 minute video (yes I watched the entire thing) - the battery life on these things was 1.5 to 3 hours depending on use.
No. Carbon emissions are hurting everybody on this planet. Even if you ignore plants, funghi and animals, then there are still a few billiom humans around that are participating in your market and get damaged by emissions. A fair market needs to contain provisions for compensation of this damage. Just because you can't see it right away does not mean it does not exist.

Compare it with sewer systems in a city. Many businesses would be much more profitable if they could dump their crap straight onto the street. Municipal cleaning services would need to clean up and everybody pays them. So they'd be subsidised though this. We don't accept this, we have rules against it since it's not fair. They have to pay their share, and excessive generation of crap needs to pay accordingly.

We don't accept this with crap on the street, and we should not accept it with crap in the atmosphere either. It's the exact opposite of a free market. It's misuse of a common resource.
Its not as simple. The political transitions are part of it. However the politics of NASA are complicated.

One of the major issues is simply that NASA for human-space flight could in the past not build on top of commercial rockets and NASA has been terrible at developing launch vehicles.

Simply put, Marshall Space flight center, Boeing and Alabama is where the money is going. There simply is no accountability. The money just keeps flowing there year after year no matter what is achieved or not achieved. No matter if the president changes or not, no matter if you are going to Moon, Mars or an Asteroid.

Before that the Shuttle was all consuming program that limited you to LEO, partly because you have very little budget left over as long as you had Shuttle operating.

This is likely not gone change unless there are some real power shifts in congress.
I think the interesting takeaway is that so many people consider social media and internet hosting to essentially be public services. The hidden premise/misunderstanding in the "social media censorship" concept is that they are so critical to participation in society that they should be a right like power or water. There are arguments for moving things like internet access into being a public utility. It is interesting that they have skipped directly to wanting to socialize social media.

Thanks. I'll be taking a look a that for my code. I probably won't use this extensively, but it is a feature I have found useful in Ada (though I'm only a hobbyist, I gave up on convincing work to use it). I'm still a novice with Julia, but I'm doing some math heavy code and started exploring it for its relative ease of use (REPL, fast execution after compilation, ergonomics-focused language design).
As someone working from home before and during COVID ... I don't want this fantasy of my kids being at home when I need to work.

The mishmash of priorities and need to focus on work is just horrible. I love my kids, I like my job... but they don't mix well enough to do a great job at both.

Even with a live in family member... how many people have the space for that? Even just space enough to have the kids far enough away to focus (my son is currently attending school remotely at a desk less than 6' from me)?

It's trying to equate calling out actual terrorist acts carried by self-identified insurrectionists, with calling "Everyone" a terrorist.

No, we're not calling everyone a terrorist. Not even everyone on Parler, though clearly some were, and the service rules were set up to facilitate them planning their atrocities. We're calling these terrorists what they are. Pipe bombs and a dead policeman for goodness sake.

Where do we draw the line?
> I fail to see how the phrase "free speech social network" should elicit some negative emotion.

Can you name a "free speech social network" that isn't overrun by white supremacists and Nazis?

It turns out that if you prioritize free speech, then the people who congregate on your site are mostly those with beliefs that are sufficiently repugnant that decent humans don't want to be associated with them.

The real insurrection was not the rioters. They were, as you say, very disorganized and barely missed their opportunity to massacre the Senate when they chased a security guard down a hallway, past the open doors to the senate chamber.

President Trump, however, played his role well. He refused to call in the military to end the insurrection, giving the rioters several hours to run rampant though the Capitol of the world’s biggest military power.
I really don't get what they would be missing though: "foreign" (e.g. internet) brands would usually be rejected before that price hike anyways (unless workshop capacity is desperately idle) and preferred customers (qualified by bike purchase) could still be offered arbitrary service discounts. Is it really just the old bait and switch of offering to service a clunker for the price of a hamburger and then suddenly realizing that the bike is impossible to salvage if the customer happens to be not utterly wrong size for that unloved bike that has been clogging inventory for three years?
