The bulk of the article centers on whether, by enacting Section 230, the Government has rendered the actions of private companies into State Actions. State Actions that abridge free speech are forbidden vide the Norwood vs. Harrison (1973) decision of the Supreme Court.
Same for me. To avoid the problem I'm using tmux inside SSH session.
I realized recently that Google Pixels are one of the only models of phones that supports flashing a 3rd party bootloader. I immediately bought a used Pixel 2 and I'm never buying a Samsung phone again for this sole reason.

This feature is a big deal because you need to do it in order to install Frida, which is a very useful reverse engineering tool. There are alternative ways to get frida running, but they are less convenient
No we should not. Twitter Amazon etc have the right to refuse service to anyone. The Constitution guaranties that Congress shall make no laws preventing free speech. Unless Amazon and Twitter can pass legislation there is no problem. There are plenty of other places that Parlor can get cloud hosting. Gab is still running use what they use. People have stupidly traded their info for what they consider free services. They are not free - they are privately owned. Every Conservative would agree that protection of private property is a fundamental right and the basis of capitalism. Take civic class.
Strong “feminists” that demanded the purpose of women was to stay at home and raise children. Most of Asia had suffrage for women much before the Western world but I would not call them strong feminists.

It is easier to scale up application servers than DBs. You want the DB to spend its CPU cycles on what its real value which is ACID.
They’re already 5 moves ahead by the time it hits market.
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/whatsapp-google-drive-back...

WhatsApp recently announced that users will soon be able to backup all of their data to Google Drive without that storage eating into their allocated Drive storage. What the company ommitted to say at the time was that the data backed-up to Drive will be stored in plaintext, without any encryption.
For sure. There needs to be a cost charged by the exchanges (federally required) which decreases with time.
That is pretty much an inverse problem ;)

If you care about that you probably should use mosh as that does solve that by design and not by random chance.

On the other hand using VPN with fixed tunneled endpoint IPs causes idle TCP connections going through it to remain connected pretty much indefinitely.
Ah ok. Yes, I was mistaking Aether Pro. You have excellent docs!
If there were a policy against bad-faith discussions or rhetorical ineptitude, this would have been your last post on this website.
It used to be encrypted. However, Google and Whatsapp have a deal that states Whatsapp backups dont count towards drive storage quotas. It became plaintext (or at least unencrypted after that)

There are strange exceptions but they are not anywhere near general-purpose, yes.
I think US megacorps have more malleable ethics than you are giving them credit for. these corps already have the ability to federated their services, and don't seem to have an issue with meeting the demands of less-than-savory governments like China's
Good the Militias in Idaho will not be able to share info as easily. This is a good thing.
If you are immune from mistakes, sure.

Making decisions as if you are immune to mistakes is a good way to ensure you prove yourself wrong in the worst way.

Making decisions to prevent things which should be impossible is how you build reliability.
> The distinction must be that anyone (any race, any sexual orientation, etc. etc.) should be able to buy anything "off the shelf" (e.g. a plain cake or wedding cake). But no one should be forced to write/design/create something which they don't want to.

I agree with this distinction (no compelled creative labor), but note that this leaves stuff like file hosting, DNS services and data centers squarely on the "off the shelf" side. And you would still be forced to bake a cake for an out-and-loud Nazi. Just not decorate it with an artful "1488 blaze it".
If you have 1m clients making DB requests and are hitting performance constraints you could do any of:

1. Add more ram, CPU, etc to the DB host
2. Create DB read replicas for higher read volume
3. Shard the DB (reads and writes)
4. Offload logic to stateless clients, who you can easily scale horizontally

So option 4 is reasonable if you don't want to or can't do the other options.
By the dates i was doing something very similar at large Co around the same time. We never launched the public product, but my container was extensively used internally for development of "apps" for Orkut et al over the years.

Fought for a while to release the code, but in the end assumed the work i was having to get code opensourced was too little as everyone already had theirs by the time (apache-shinding era then). In my view mine only added good cd/ci practices over what i saw elsewhere.
Car repairability standards have been there forever and some say there are more cars than there should be.

Making things repairable impacts their size much more than manufacturing cost (which is typically about 25-40% of retail price for electronics).

Phones etc working for longer means fewer sales in the long run and I'm OK with that.
Probably, which might have something to do with the fact that there's no genuine belief that Biden is going to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands due to administrational incompetence, or going to spend his entire term attempting to subvert democracy. On the other hand, it turns out the people who said those things about Trump in 2016 have been proven 100% correct.

The purpose of faithless electors isn't to stop the appointment of arbitrary candidates based on personal preference, it's to stop the appointment of people who are completely unfit for the position. It absolutely makes sense that it would only be justifiable to exercise that option on certain individuals. An individual who blatantly and repeatedly lies about election results and encourages their supporters to commit voter fraud in an attempt to retain power seems like the exact type of person you might want to stop from having that power in the first place.
Sure: xterm a client of your display and keyboard and mouse, remote input and output services that the X11 server provides over the network.

And at the same time, a web browser is the client of computing and data servers in the cloud, provided over the network.

In reality, there can be many different client/server relationships existing in different directions over the same full duplex network connection. It's really a bi-directional multiplexed messaging channel, not a pure strict hierarchical relationship, and many client/server dependencies can go both ways over the same connection, at the same time. You can even run an ssh that opens tunnels in both directions, then tunnel X and http connections over that.

Once a connection is established, it really don't matter which end initiated the connection (or how many links and proxies and tunnels there are along the way) -- you're just sending messages both ways.

"Client/Server" is an over-simplified way of describing what's possible.

North Idaho ISP blocks Facebook, Twitter due to censorship
My position (in theory) would be that DNS, ISPs and datacenters are a different layer of the "freedom tech" stack. Depriving a business of the ability to host and distribute content via at least a DNS-backed website should be held to a different standard than removal from an app store or specific social media site.
The site itself has never done that.

There are certainly subcultures. They do mod them somewhat, though not as well as they should perhaps.

GoDaddy has refused to tell the site what the alleged violation is or allow them to appeal.
on AWS? Not at all.
Depends on who you ask. The right-wing media called them terrorists. And since conservatives claim to be "half the country", we can safely say that half the country agreed with that sentiment.

I will say that none of them attacked the Capitol to overturn a fair election after being egged on by a sitting president based on a lie that every relevant court in the land has thrown out as utter nonsense. This particular incident is far more serious. It'll be studied in the history books 100 years from now.
You forget how young and Bay-Area-centric this platform is until you read a comment like this.

Social media is a biofilm blip on the actual peer-to-peer communication network of the US. Ex-military, hams, church groups, school groups, softball teams, public safety, fraternal organizations, book clubs, trade organizations, retiree organizations, even just large corporate types or anyone born before 1990...your screen is not reality, and they knew it and know it. COVID didn’t and won’t leave a dent in the fender.

They never left the old ways, in part because they saw social media as “the shadows”. They never left social media because they were never on social media. Can’t say they were wrong...

BTW, they are the builders and doers, not the “influencers”. They know how to physically accomplish things, like build the modern world, and take things apart (appropriately) when necessary.

Nobody was stupid enough to make them angry, were they?
But then it has subpar encryption and they've stated that they will look towards an ad supported model. So it's even worse than WhatsApp.
I'm not asserting that pixel-by-pixel scrolling (vs scrolling by section) is inherently better as an approach. It's entirely possible that the latter is better somehow!

However, the reality is that nearly the entire web is pretty consistent in how you can navigate a page - space bar will jump down a bit, pages usually respect my scroll speed settings, tabbing between elements works if the dev didn't fuck it up, etc.

I value consistency in how I interact with my computer. I would rather not use an app/buy a thing/etc if it works differently from other similar items purely for aesthetic reasons. If it works demonstrably better, maybe there's an argument to be made, but when it's strictly a matter of _opinion_, I'm inclined to say that consistency > doing some one-off behavior.

Imagine if the brake and gas pedal were reversed in one specific car, just because the person who designed/built it thought that it was more comfortable/looked better/etc. That would be an extremely dangerous car to drive (at least for me). I have a lot of years of muscle memory built up, and if I'm in some kind of dangerous situation on the road where I'd need to hit the brakes in a hurry, I want to be _damn_ sure that I'm pressing the correct pedal.

For websites, it's an inconvenience that can be explained away as a difference of opinion. For many, many other kinds of interaction, this approach is actively hazardous.

(and to be clear, I'm not saying that we shouldn't try new things or attempt to redesign things that people are used to, but I _am_ saying that a large business trying to sell a new thing is probably not the time nor place for it. Experiment with it on your portfolio or something and don't go out of your way to degrade my experience if you want me to buy something from you!)
There's an implicit assumption here that someone who refuses to appear on TV when asked has a more valuable opinion than someone who accepts. This seems on its face to be false.

Did you link to a different tweet than you intended? You appear to be arguing that it’s “violence” for a public figure not to be able to disappear past public statements which they now regret. Her position that they should take responsibility for what they said is something most children learn pretty young.
funny. it was used to incite violence in the United states too.
Ripgrep (and by extension, vscode) does not have these features for the same reasons. It turns out you can usually find a way of doing what you need without using these features. People got by without them for a long time.
Protocol-wise they're pretty similar except I2P uses a variant of onion routing called "garlic routing" which allows for message bundling (I don't know if this is currently used beyond bundling for delivery status messages and lease sets). I2P also has unidirectional circuits as opposed to Tor's bidirectional ones which means unlike Tor hidden services where you build a bridged circuit using a rendezvous point, in I2p each side has a pair of unidirectional tunnels for send/receive. I2P is also packet switched as opposed to circuit-switched, which can possibly make it more resilient to traffic-analysis attacks and lead to better load balancing of resources.

Otherwise the main differences seem to be design-wise, where in Tor you rely on a centralized bootstrap to get the list of relays whereas I2P does this via decentralized NetDb.
This is not entirely accurate.

The default logging may not capture the individual child clients, depending on your configuration (eg double nat), sure... but those child clients are still entirely at the mercy of your configuration otherwise. Saying that the clients are completely invisible/invincible, and that the fault is the Ubiquiti product, is not true.
Thankfully, Twitter blocking Nazis and Qanons isn't rolling back any rights. In fact, it's Twitter engaging in their Constitutionally-protected right of free association.

And, adding assertions / very loud logs is a good way to be sure your assumptions hold: e.g. causing your tests to fail if the test user's password (or other privileged info, etc) appears in any logs is a fairly good extra safety layer.
Why use xclock when you can use Sun's "clocktool"?

https://medium.com/@donhopkins/the-x-windows-disaster-128d39...

X has had its share of $5,000 toilet seats — like Sun’s Open Look clock tool, which gobbles up 1.4 megabytes of real memory! If you sacrificed all the RAM from 22 Commodore 64s to clock tool, it still wouldn’t have enough to tell you the time. Even the vanilla X11R4 “xclock” utility consumed 656K to run. And X’s memory usage is increasing.

It's not surprising. Try dealing with consumer routers and their varying degrees of support for dynamic assignment of IPv6 addresses. Seriously, it's a support nightmare.
Has anyone implemented OpenSSH over QUIC yet? If ever there was a match made in heaven for pairing an asynchronous channels protocol encapsulated over TCP with an asynchronous channels protocol encapsulated over UDP, this seems like one.

No, wikileaks was/is not Russian propaganda. Just because you don’t agree with the information it doesn’t make it false. Wikileaks did nothing more then dump emails for anyone to sort through during the 2016 election. Aaron was against big tech censoring information and I remember HN supported him in those views now you all look the other way because it doesn’t fit the narrative you like. If Aaron was still around you would be against him and try to de platform him for being against big corporations.

If you're using references a lot, you're probably using regexes for something where a parser would be a better fit.

You say you live and die by regexes, but most people don't. Most people use regexes for simple validation, and text field extraction from static text patterns; e.g. extracting metrics from log lines. You don't need fancy features to pattern-match a number.
This has already been weaponized by subs like /r/AgainstHateSubs and other vigilante-like subs. Their tactics usually involve posting in those subreddits from sockpuppet accounts, using hateful or threatening messages. The few times the targeted subs mods aren't on the ball, they mass report the post for hate speech to try and get the sub banned, or the mods banned then later request the subreddit for themselves, something of a trophy I guess. On rare instances, they reach out to their freelance journalist friends to write a hite piece.
There's been reporting that Amazon sent them some specific... Parlers (?) (IDK what the Tweet equivalent is over there) they said violated their contract or something and they weren't taken down. It's not about the speed either it's that their moderation system was completely half-assed. Keep in mind the kind of talk and planning that lead to Wednesday has been happening over there since the election and similar "hang the traitors" talk has been going on much longer basically since the site started.
OpenWRT supports that.

> I didn't accuse the US of teaching religion, I accused it of teaching creationism and undermining peoples ability to learn critical thinking.

We don't, and we legally cannot.

> I know that religion is taught in the EU, I went to school in Denmark. And no one pushed it as reality, it was more of a learn this fiction because it has historically been important and some people still believe it. Not once was it presented as reality or something we should believe in.

That is more than is legally permissible in the U.S. And even if people don't perceive the education as saying "this is true" it still socializes kids in a shared religious history and helps them understand the people who still believe it. There is nothing comparable to this in the U.S.
The Schroedinger Equation is the most true thing I've ever encountered. It is clear, simple, obvious in its correctness; the greatest piece of physics since Maxwell. Once you've understood it it becomes almost impossible to imagine that the universe could possibly work any other way. (Contrary to this article's claim, the equation describes the behaviour of Helium atoms perfectly well; it's a failure of our imagination or exertion that we can't find closed-form stable solutions, not a fact about the equation itself). So this kind of complaint seems utterly wrongheaded.

People hold quantum mechanics to some ridiculous standard, far higher than any other physical theory. Did they really expect that the behaviour of the very small would be exactly like that of everyday macroscopic objects? Do they enjoy the mysticism of pretending that it's complex and hard to understand when it's really nothing of the sort? Frankly I think an honest approach to QM would present it as something banal and obvious.

I think it is unfortunate that single node/non scalable databases are still being used, which then leads people to have to do gymnastics to mitigate their limitations (no write scaling, etc). If they used something like Spanner, they would probably not have needed to do any of this and could instead focus on their core business.
Hey Paul, long time - I enjoyed working with you on OpenSocial stuff back in the day when I was at MySpace.
The overlap between people who have the technical knowledge to do harm and people willing to do harm is rather small, so I would advise against sharing technical knowledge like this.
I've done things similar and do it for quick and dirty. Currently I have something like that on a RPi but instead of

while true;

I have,

while [[ ! -f "$DIRECTORY"/backup_exit.stop ]]; do
sleep 3600 # sleep an hour
time /home/ubuntu/.pyenv/versions/backup/bin/python main.py
done

Whenever I want the process to stop, `touch backup_exit.stop` . This waits until the run finishes and exists on the next loop.

Anyway, that is saved to a 'backup.sh'

Then I have also,

#!/bin/bash
session="test"
backup="/path/to/backup.sh"

#create detached session named test
tmux new-session -d -s ${session}
# Create windows
tmux rename-window -t :0 'backup' #rename the first one
tmux new-window -n 'htop'
# Run processes
tmux send-keys -t 'backup' "$backup" ENTER
tmux send-keys -t 'htop' 'htop' ENTER

And this is run automatically on @reboot via cron.
