I'm not convinced that its technically correct to call Bannon a terrorist or call his words a threat. So your hyperbole has estopped your criticism of Bannon's hyperbole.

> So your meet in the middle position is, just to be clear,

My meet in the middle position is that a scientist needs to be evidence-based and open to the possibility of his own error. I was disappointed in how Fauci handled the diversity of opinion and the mask issue. He went on the cover of In Style magazine and vainly refused to wear a mask. Masks are important and this magazine cover is seen by millions yet he declined the opportunity to set a proper example.
Just for reference, I did receive an email from them.

OTR did come with other apps. OpenPGP was a documented XMPP extension.
I think one could randomly choose a Betheseda or Ubisoft release, and have a similar level of bugs.

I also played it through Stadia, because Google was having really good deals on Stadia. The first month was free (through a Google Music promotion), and buying Cyberpunk for $50 got you a Chromecast Ultra. I have actually been pleasantly surprised by how good the Stadia experience is.

Functions that return random results do not fit into the most common testing paradigms. I have seen people try to verify the distribution of random results, and even that could have concerns for theoretical flakiness. I wonder if the nature of the function contributed to the apparent lack of testing coverage here.
Brave's (privacy-respecting) ad notifications are off by default. But I would encourage you to reconsider these features, unless (or even if) you support content creators out of your own pocket. Sponsored Images, for instance, is a high-quality image that appears on every 4th new tab. 70% of the associated revenue goes into your wallet, which can then automatically flow out to the verified sites and properties you visit throughout the month. It's a great way to convert your attention into real support for the people who make the Web enjoyable. And best yet, there is no user data involved or exchanged.
One of my problems with this line of argument is that it provides a sort relativism of opinion, every opinion is just as valid as any other. And then you're at post-truth and post-fact sadly...

If Carlsen is a fake, so is every chess player he has ever played, the whole system? Epidemiologists lied about masks (or they really didn't know better 3-5 months into the pandemic, also not good), discount everything else said? I've heard these arguments often lately :/

Experts not being "real" implies that there's no absolute expertise whatsoever and implicitly legitimizes dismissing any argument whatsoever on a single failure and allows people to believe that any opinion (including their own) is just as valid. I think this is in part to blame for our "post-fact/post-truth" phenomenon. Many people decide experts or government were wrong/have lied before and can no longer be trusted. And when an outsider comes along with contrarian but convenient ideas, why not believe them, nobody else is to be trusted after all and every opinion is valid.

Any expert opinion can be wrong but the prior is that an expert opinion is much more likely to be correct than your own, or a politician's, or a blogger's.

NB: I want to note that the author's point is much more nuanced and (more importantly!) narrow, but it's not evident from the title or a superficial reading.

Not to disagree, but I believe it's just a matter of time. They're working hard in these areas.

Also, recent stats I read somewhere say Chinese Ph.D.'s are returning to China in increasing numbers these days, somewhere around 50% or more compared to the old days when the majority stayed in America or Europe.
Isn't this what Diaspora is?
I can't speak for OP, but long before the election, I was expecting violence around the US if Trump lost.

I didn't predict an attack on the Capitol, but it didn't really surprise me, either.

I speak as a conservative who is aggressively anti-Trump but believes many of his voters would not condone what happened at the Capitol.
I wonder if CDPR released the game at that stage because they thought that the window of opportunity on last-gen consoles was closing

AWS cutting them off probably made it even more urgent. Like the pr department likely wouldn't be happy with the company supporting parlor til the very end...
I've been using a finetuned T5 model for commercial text generation for the past six months. The volume of discussion around the model on github and elsewhere leads me to believe others are as well, although people tend to be circumspect about implementation details.
Yes, yes, and UPS continues to deliver their banners and flags too.

Look, I'm all for businesses making the decision to cut them off. That means I'm also all for businesses making the decision to keep them on too. That's the beauty of a free market, is the government not telling you who you can and can't do business with. And, heaven forbid, the government telling you who you must do business with.

Really disappointed in HN right now, hacking youtube videos are dangerous too no? Content is not dangerous, peoples are.
> Snowflake has support for custom Javascript UDFs and a lot of built in features (you can do absurd things with window functions). I also found it much faster than Spark.

UDF support isn't really the same, to be honest. You're still prisoner of the select from pattern. Don't get me wrong, SQL is wonderful where it works, but it doesn't work for everything that I need.

I completely agree that it's faster than Spark, but it's also super-expensive and more limited. I suspect it would probably be cheaper to run a managed Spark cluster vs Snowflake and just eat the performance hit by scaling up.

Tensorflow, PyTorch (not sure if Ray is needed) and Mxnet all support distributed training across CPUs/GPUs in a single machine or multiple machines. So does XGBoost if you don't want deep learning.

I forgot about Xgboost, but I'm a big fan of unsupervised methods (as input to supervised methods, mostly) and Spark has a bunch of these. I haven't ever tried to do it, but based on my experience of running deep learning frameworks and distributed ML, I suspect the combination of both to be exponentially more annoying ;) (And i deal mostly with structured data, so it doesn't buy me as much).

> You can then run them with KubeFlow or on whatever platform your SaaS provider has (GCP AI Platform, AWS Sagemaker, etc.).

Do people really find these tools useful? Again, I'm not really sure what SageMaker (for example) buys me on AWS, and their pricing structure is so opaque that I'm hesitant to even invest time in it.

I played ~80 hours and enjoyed it more than any RPG I've played since the original Mass Effect trilogy. It looked great too, at medium settings on my 4 year old gaming PC.

It does seem like there were some legitimate issues on consoles, but I don't even know how seriously to take that given the insane disproportionality of the criticism that even the PC version has been getting. I saw somebody on Reddit seriously suggesting that Steam should pull the game like Sony did, and it's like, what?

Presumably if it does end up in court, the truth will come out and CDPR will be sanctioned appropriately. I don't mean to say the release couldn't have been better, but from where I'm sitting it feels like 75% just another case of insane "gamer entitlement".
I highly doubt that many Chinese people even want to be billionaires. This might be some holy level us Westerners dream of reaching but I appreciate that there is a state power that is larger than that of a corporation's. Some person made a killing off the backs of its nation/citizens and they get to call themselves king and write the rules?

I wish this delusion that we can all reach this level through hard work can dissipate already. This is a guillotine dropping on a kings head, I applaud the CCP. As if I will lose sleep if Bezos or Gates lost their keys to the castle.

But now you're back to square one - who defines "hate"? That's the line you're talking about. Keep in mind mind that in many cases, some speech you consider "hate" is totally vague, and opinions will inevitably just fall along convenient ideological lines. SO, outside of some really explicit cases, it's really not definable at all.

Brave seems to pop up here every now and then. With its past history of scammy behaviour (https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/8/21283769/brave-browser-aff...) and how they collect money without actually promising to give it to people that they claim to act opn behalf of, its not a browser anyone should trust.

There are so many better alternatives to brave for those that want to donate to content creators or just browse the web. I have never understood the fascination or usefulness of brave. I would caution people against using it.
1. How do you plan on keeping them small enough? With mandatory federation and compliance with open standards, would this even be a good idea?

2. Sounds like a great way to encourage site moderators to bring down the ban hammer hard and fast.
My best source was a first-hand account from a business owner who tried to switch from one-off EV projects to an a full-blown assembly line. He called up a few manufacturers and they basically told him to come back when he's at the scale of hundreds of MWh - sort of a chicken-and-egg scenario.

Retailers didn't want to talk about special pricing, regardless of scale.
Actually, I do. Does Venezuelan news tell you that Maduro successfully occupied Washington?
The author disagrees they're equally likely. They seem more qualified than you.
But since this action appears coordinated across major platforms and likely in response to political pressure from the now in power Democratic party (Amazon is being paid for hosting, so no advertisers fleeing issue), I think there now may be a real first amendment issue.
I have been thinking about this. My idea, that I dubbed "The Mesh" basically has each person's profile data as a blob "somewhere" on the internet. The person's profile would have different tiers for the type of data - personal, professional, etc. Inviting someone to communicate or collaborate with would be a transfer of keys that would allow you to access a particular tier. The user would then use a web browser client or native app to access/update their own profile data, communicate with other profiles they have keys for, upload their own profile data, etc...

Clearly, though, taking control over their own data, and not allowing a FB or similar to own it would require an investment on that person's part. Either hosting their own data or finding an online host they could use would require $$$.
Having played Cyberpunk on a PS4 and then a PS5, It is nowhere near what you'd expect from a AAA title in terms of quality. Had to stop playing it because it's not worth it to ruin the experience.

I can only imagine what the folks at Rockstar are thinking about this launch and what they can take away from it.
Ah, it is hacked and it picks a new time whenever they try to reset it?
This platform doesn't exactly match everything on the wishlist, but it matches what you've written here:

It's a tragedy of the commons situation with gamer enthusiasts acting against their own best interest.

If people can't delay gratification for something as inconsequential as "non-broken video games", I don't see how any personal responsibility campaign has any chance of working for things impacting society at large such as climate change, overfishing, public health, etc.
This is not a great look for a .gov website right now.
Yeah. One of the places I ride has a few very conspicuous dumps of obvious construction trash and it is extremely irritating. In this case, it's a bunch of asphalt roofing... very heavy and likely expensive at the dump.

Its bad enough I almost think we should just eliminate all dump fees and charge everything upstream. If you charge for disposal at the time of sale, then you don't need to charge at the time of disposal. Then you remove the incentive to dump elsewhere.

There are so many better alternatives to brave. I would not advocate for it considering their past behaviour which makes them not a browser to trust (https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/8/21283769/brave-browser-aff...)
Let's play this out. Suppose the CCP does nationalize BABA, and as a result Amazon starts beating it. Over time Amazon comes to dominate Chinese ecommerce, with hundreds of billions of yuan flowing from Chinese consumers to Bezos' pocket. Bezos then says something critical of the CCP.

How is this scenario likely to develop after that point?
But is this just news that's reporting what someone read/found here? :)
Just get Firefox.

Brave has ads, including annoying desktop pop ups!
> and which was pure political speech.

I'm okay with this. We've had Republican/Conservative vs. Democrat/Liberal in every other form of media that I can remember. What's wrong with that split with "Social Media" or with hosting providers (think publishers), etc.

The problems seems to be that conservatives thought these services should be neutral but the services themselves have not thought otherwise. It will sort itself out over the next five to ten years.
Sony itself removed that game from the playstation store and still has not put it back yet, because it doesn't meet Sony's playstation certification requirements. I don't think 'gamers' are the issue here.
Mobile connection obviously. The further remote, the less signal(usually). But most of my work can be done offline, so that is not an issue for me.
and i think a key point about this particular example is that Lin Wood is a very visible public figure. This wasn't a single crazy comment buried in a long thread that a moderator could have missed. If there was any good-faith effort by Parler to moderate content, it would have caught the Lin Wood rant.
Free speech != free reach.
I just ended 17 years of FF fidelity. I was already using Brave on mobile and sometimes on desktop. With the bookmark import tool and my password stored on Bitwarden, it takes a couple of minutes to have a comfy browsing environment.

The only issue I see with Brave is Qwant is the default search engine. Qwant is heavily backed up from the French government and answer to censor request very easily, I have more trust in DDG for privacy & censorship.
Not really the issue, also anecdotal. Clearly a large enough base complained for Sony to pull it from their Playstation store, and they've never done that before.

The real issue is what was promised and teased and what was delivered. Honestly might border on false advertising. There are countless videos breaking down what was advertised in their promotional feature walkthrough videos and what was actually delivered (not even withstanding pretty glaring bugs and performance issues).
The writing and depth were way too lacking for me.

I can deal with bugs, but the lack of depth constantly breaks immersion, and some of the writing is just really cringeworthy
You're playing on literally the most playable platform there is (the game is even less buggy on Stadia than on latest-gen consoles).

Interesting point.

I'd never have believed it myself, but find myself using acronyms instead of variable names when the type allows it.

void foo(MyType mt, const MyOtherType& mot);

It's the variable names that are the noise, types are everything. And no, it's not Hungarian notation either in case anyone suggests it!

However, it maybe doesn't work that well with things like class member names. YMMV

Among others is that predictability of behavior of systems makes analysis and/or attack easier.

Ehh they make great products for smb/coliving/coworking spaces, where you need better hardware than the box the ISP gives you but you don’t need the kitchen sink that comes with Cisco.

Fearing? They wouldn't be even allowed to grow any business, forbidden by state. This is socialism&capitalism hybrid, seemingly taking the worst out of both.

Someone recommends you some games, about one they say "it has a simulated theme park with intricate rollercoaster building engine and you compete with other theme parks for customers", about another they say "you're trying to build a rocket to the moon but it's really challenging", and about another they say "the interface responds to mouse clicks".

Good games have working interfaces too, but they have a lot more worth talking about.

a quick glimpse of the link you sent, alot of the economic data depends on you trusting the data coming from a dictatorship which obfuscates every clear economic signals. So I don't buy it personally. As for politics, China aligned itself with small countries/other dictatorships, while the big democracies that composes of 80+% of the world's economies united. As for tech, you need to also believe the claims they made.
I don't know how the law currently works, but it seems reasonable to me that it should be the responsibility of the government to determine what's legal and what's not. I think Amazon would not be acting improperly if they alerted law enforcement that they suspect illegal activity and then waited for the authorities to issue an official order to take down the content (presumably based on a court order). I get that the current ToS allows Amazon to terminate the relationship unilaterally, but I don't think Amazon has to do that morally. And if they have to do that legally, I think it's fair to ask that the law be changed to allow private organizations selling a platform to not have to determine the legality of the actions of their customers. The FBI, police, and courts can do that.
Did you feel the same way when Michael Moorcock said the same thing on Twitter about cops ? No bans for him though.
As a consumer though you could also have bought it in a store or waited until you needed something else as well.
