I strongly dispute that censor evokes gulags.

A person of ordinary education would understand the Hollywood Blacklists of the 50's as censorship. It's a quintessential example of censorship.

To extent you want to redefine censorship as only government actions, there is a pretty plausible argument that elements of the US government pushed for this. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/19/angry-democrats-fa...

It might not be a coincidence that Big Tech waited until Trumps defeat looked certain to finally start censoring his posts in Oct 2020. They were probably afraid of what a Democratic DOJ would do. Democrats have blamed Trump's win on big tech for years.
>BLM Didn't use violence to achieve their goals.

I don't know how you can reconcile cities being burned, statues toppled, police stations being overtaken, parts of a city being declared an autonomous zone with "violence wasn't used" but whatever, discussion is clearly pointless.

I will re-state my claim: this is a battle, and in a battle all that matters is punishing your enemies and rewarding your friends. When you defend the BLM riots yet condemn this one you're engaging in that behavior. You can disagree with me all you want but that's the truth to anyone who has any sense.
so it comes down to education. Without an properly educated population who have been taught and encouraged to think for themselves we are at the mercy of those who peddle falsehoods for their own benefit.

It's not enough to have a commentator say that something should or should not be believed, the public themselves needs to have the tools to be able to weigh and verify and come to their own conclusions.

There will of course be some who regardless of education will be lead, but we can do a lot better than we currently are.

Note that "antidepressant" is largely a marketing term. The drug in particular is fluvoxamine, a potent selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This doesn't mean that other antidepressants will work (if fluvoxamine really does work in larger trials).

Believe it or not, fluvoxamine isn't even approved by the FDA for depression. It probably works, but it's only labeled for OCD (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2017/02...). Usually, we'll preserve it for more refractory cases of OCD since it tends to have more side effects and interactions than other SSRIs.
Did he also design AArch64? Because I've noticed it can be used to design very fast processors, yet abandons most decisions in ARM7 and Thumb.

I was just curious about how SIMD worked in RISC-V so I looked it up… and apparently RISC-V doesn't have SIMD, instead it brings back microcoded large vector operations from the 70s, and the RISC-V designers called SIMD bad and compared it to the opioid crisis because it means there are too many instruction opcodes?

https://www.sigarch.org/simd-instructions-considered-harmful...

So I'm now even less impressed and also slightly offended. This is not realistic, short vectors are important and easy to do in hardware.
The leftists are saying because Trump challenged the legitimacy of the election results, they feel sanctimonious that instead of investigating claims they have the right to attack Trump voting US citizens (75 million) as a group whether politically or in unamerican ways such as in attempting to block free speech, arresting them, burning and destroying their businesses, attempting to get them fired from their jobs, etc.

Leftists live in cities around people that have similar values to themselves, whether LGBTQ, pro legal prostitution, free drug use, anti-white hate. When they confront Trump supporters, their mental model is that there are a few hundred people in that group who deserve "consequences" and that they personally are legitimate in effecting those consequences. They frequently don't leave the inner city and cannot really conceptualize tens of millions of people.
Reasonable people don't defend violence in either case.

You are you defending violence with whataboutism. And advocating for Machiavellianism.

It's worse than this. Even just presenting facts that are inconvenient or go against the desires of beliefs is enough to make you an enemy / part of the other side, no questions asked.
> You can see 1984's themes in play today in democratic governance

Sure, but that's not really germane to the review, which isn't that 1984 doesn't highlight some things that are real concerns that might affect even non-Stalinist governments (as Stalinism itself includes some elements that can be found outside of it, as well), but that 1984 is basically an unimaginative, literal overlay of Stalinism on top of contemporary (at the time of writing) English society through the biases of the authors social class where the technical elements were relatively unimaginative and poorly thought through in their pragmatics.
People supported BLM -protests-, not riots. The media has worked very hard to conflate the two. Nobody wants our cities to be destroyed. That was also general rioting, not people specifically targeting the U.S. Capitol building and going after the politicians inside in order to interfere with the election process. It's not really comparable unless you omit all context.

This dance never ends. Soon enough people's behavior will evolve and the groups will start calling themselves the same ways PACs do ( you know, American Roads, Appleplie And Flag for Orphans Foundation ). We already had an indication with Bogaloo group ( although for them it the name was something of an inside joke ). This is why censorship is effectively self-defeating.

If 50% of US population, apparently, thinks that hashtag is valid, you can rest assured it will either surface in some cloaked form ( say, bunnies for adoption ), or worse, it will disappear from the radar where LEOs will not be able to easily track it ( and boy can they easily track it now ).

I may be coming across as a free speech fundamentalist, but that is the problem with actual rights. You tend to defend assholes since they are the ones who tend to push the envelope.

I don't want to dance this dance. Its trajectory tends to end somewhere around Xi banning Winnie and number 8 ( ie. shit getting ridiculous ). It is not fun in the meantime.
Like probably most people in the discussion here, I think I’m smarter than the average person, and can discern the truth from multiple conflicting claims.

But a little introspection shows me that no, this isn’t really true. I’m not hunting down original sources for everything I think I know, I’m mostly relying on gatekeepers (experts) to tell me what is true.

Unfortunately, in social media, everybody gets to be an expert! How can the average person tell?

As much as it goes against my grain, I have to admit that society works better when the gatekeepers decide what the truth is, even though we know they don’t always get it right.

Our current technology allowing any kind of garbage to be amplified to the masses is making things worse, not better.
That's not quite it either, the truth is actually worse.

We know the other side are people, the fact that we insult them acknowledges that. Think of hitler youth forcing a rabbi to scrub the pavement on their hands and knees. The cruelty is intentional, not based on seeing them as less than human.
For me, the power of a blogging platform is in automating boilerplate. This lacks:

- search
- categories
- RSS
- archive pages
- header/footer/navigation

It's great that the content area is simpler, but if I just typey-typey for the blog post and then have to manually create backlinks and the RSS feed item then forget it.

There is such a thing as _too_ simple.

I think the idea that the "sides" are roughly equally balanced is a false narrative pushed by the smaller side. Obviously "hang Mike Pence" isn't an appealing idea to anywhere near 100% of Republican voters, and I would wager it's appealing to just about 0% of non-Republican voters.

What you're seeing is that the amount of yelling is roughly equally balanced, but you can't extrapolate from that to what all people actually believe. Obviously you won't find common ground for every single person, but there is common ground for 80-90% of them.

A few more bits of information:

- There's Mike Pence himself, the actual vice president of the United States, and his unwillingness to go along with the worldviews of those who have by now concluded he needs to be hanged.

- Mitt Romney, the actual Republican presidential candidate in 2012 (who won 47% of the popular vote), has been pretty strongly opposed to the idea that Trump secretly won / would have won, to the coup, etc. Previously he marched in Black Lives Matter protests and voted to convict the President in the impeachment trial last year. (Romney also created Romneycare, the model for Obamacare, even though if you listen to how loudly people yell, it seems like half the country opposes it.)

- Georgia elected two Democratic Senators. More generally, the Voting Rights Act was gutted in 2013 and several states are actively engaged in gerrymandering and voter suppression efforts. The fact that you see Republicans roughly tied with Democrats doesn't indicate that Republican policies are equally popular.

And, again, the "side" that advocates for "hang Mike Pence" is hardly the totality of the Republican Party.

So what can be done?

I think the highest-impact thing is to help out efforts to re-enfranchise Americans and end gerrymandering. The work coordinated by Stacey Abrams in Georgia is a good place to start, for instance. Regardless of what party or policies you support, if you believe in democracy, getting elections to be more representative can only be a good thing. And in particular, if you're right-leaning but worry that the Republican Party is going too far, making it so that the party has to compete by convincing centrists instead of being able to rely on extremists will be good for the party.
> No real death in over an year of violent protests by police firing

It’s just that the Hong Kong police is better at cover-ups.

A female protestors was found fully naked and dead at sea. A whistle-blower police officer confessed on a KBS documentary that the case was initially investigated as a murder case, but the higher-ups later forbade murder investigation, and hastily classified it as a “suicide”. [0]

Another man was seen suspiciously thrown out of a window at a disciplined services quarters (whose tenants are mostly police) [1], and yet the case wasn’t even investigated.

Neither of these cases is definite proof of Hong Kong police killing protestors. And yet without proper investigation, you can easily hide casualties even when there are.

I must stress that guns are forbidden in Hong Kong, whereas guns appeared in the Capitol Hill on Jan 6 among some protestors. It’s not surprising that Hong Kong police may have a milder response than the US police. You can’t compare apples to oranges.

There are still some cases where you'd not want unlimited VM mapping, but those are getting a bit esoteric and at least the most obvious ones are in the process of getting fixed.

'Other laws' is just a duck to avoid discussing the question, because those laws do limit absolute free speech. People's minds don't go to those other things first because they are all more debatable than CP and not necessarily limit cases. No equation is taking place outside of your own mind.

The demand for a Tesla at $25K is going to be huge. Given previous manufacturing delays, I wouldn't expect them to anywhere near keep up. Therefore although they could sell at $25K, due to the insane demand they may as well sell at $30K to reduce some demand, and then bring it down to $25K over a year or 2 as they work through those willing to pay a higher price.
> No set of agreed-upon facts?

That's just not true.

There are good statistics on the number of deaths and positive tests for Covid.

There is a reliable and agreed upon process for counting votes in the states, and plenty of avenues to dispute those counts, and a court system that has heard every single complaint from the losing Presidential candidate and made clear rulings based on the evidence.

What is abundantly plain from this week, is there is a very large number of people who clearly just wanted to bash some heads and break a lot of stuff and threaten more violence. They felt untouchable and that no rules applied to them.

These people have zero interest in finding objective truths about the world. They just enjoy the feeling of power over other people and they use words in whatever way thinks will increase that power, regardless of any connection to the truth.
That would make sense because how many of these 41000 people would have been infected without the vaccine? 200 sounds quite reasonable.
Perhaps saying there was no violence is overstating it but it was a very different scale with very different intent abhorrent in either case.

People are undoubtedly angry because they are seeking to be treated equally. To not be murdered by the police. There’s still such an astonishing amount of injustice and yet they didn’t try to overthrow the government.

The crux of my argument is that these two groups are not comparable. One seeks equality and the other seeks to go against democracy and attempt a coup. This is what i mean by false equivalence.
Do you have a source for this? Wikipedia says he did, even more curious about changing the call sign story:

Twitter: Trump’s Ring of Power (2016)
Yeah, I finally had to stop having discussions with MAGA family members because the complete lack of good faith. Because they are family, I would listen and then spend time reading their sources and gathering facts and information to have a real discussion around, and as soon as their beliefs in a topic were challenged they would fall back to 'what about Hilary's emails' or Hunters laptop. It just became pointless to have a discussion.

It's cult like. I can't imagine supporting any side or politician like these people do.
The stock apps include a web browser, email client, and more. Sure, the apps are what make the phone, but to say you can’t do anything on a stock iPhone is a lie. And for those inclined enough, there’s AltStore for sideloading.
Or maybe you could do some introspection and think about what would have to lead up to you being banned? Every politician on twitter has been fine except for 1 particular individual. Nevermind that 1 individual -chose- to use twitter as their primary base of operations, instead of the usual channels.

https://github.com/hadrianw/werf a graphical mouse driven text editor inspired by Plan 9's acme. It can open quite big files, you can WIMP around a bit, but README is just wishful thinking, it can't even save files. Written in C with cairo and fontconfig. Currently for a few years I'm in process of rewriting text buffer, I have something nice, but did not test it enough and did not integrate it. Now I'm thinking of a rewrite in Zig to learn it and also make it easier to test. But that's my wishful thinking again.

https://github.com/hadrianw/tomatoaster a ChromeOS like Linux distribution based on Void Linux build system, AB partition scheme, building squashfs image without root privileges. Currently I did a nice and almost proper script to handle it and do not need to patch as match to build an image, that runs, but is not entirely useful. Need to clean-up the script and commit. Mostly bash, bunch of patches and config files and a bit of C.

https://github.com/hadrianw/abracabra a search engine, that will not index pages with ads (all results would be uBlock-Origin clean), that is not yet even a proper pipeline to check whether a page does contain ads or not, no crawler yet at all. I want to go through Common Crawl archives first. I did something in Go first (https://github.com/hadrianw/abracabra-legacy), but now I'm rewriting it in Rust, because of awesome lol_html crate, that will make filtering fast and easy. Currently writing code to filter URLs with Rabin-Karp and a bit of loops. It created an e-mail thread years ago with people wanting to help, but I've been too slow.

I don't want much help to code things, I would appreciate however a bit of pointers on a couple of things regarding Rust and watchdogs (to recognize a partition as unbootable and reset the system to the previous partition).

Because you value different perspectives, or 'truth' -- whether truth is a valid property for a statement to have depends on the particular statement, but looking to other perspectives will help you find truth if it is available; good ideas are robust from any angle.

If you're reading sequentially this shouldn't be a problem because the VM system can pick up hints, or you can use madvise.

If you're reading randomly this is true and you want some kind of async I/O or multiple read operation.

mmap is also dangerous because there's no good way to return errors if the I/O fails, like if the file is resized or is on an external drive.
