Okay, go with that. Trump isn’t losing his job, house, or anything else because of what Twitter did. The only thing he’s using is free use of their infrastructure to advertise his speech — and he still has all of the news media, his campaign and personal websites and email, etc. so that’s really not much of an impediment.

Hahahaha wow
I didn't realize this either, so I looked up her wikipedia page:

"In 1993, Scott and Bezos were married, and in 1994, they both left D. E. Shaw, moved to Seattle, and started Amazon. Scott was one of Amazon's first employees, and was heavily involved in Amazon's early days, working on the company's name, business plan, accounts and shipping early orders.[4][8] She also negotiated the company's first freight contract.[8] When Amazon began to succeed, Scott took a less involved role in the business, preferring to focus on her family and literary career.[4]"

I remember when building an Android app back in 2012-2014, that if it had in-app purchases, it seemed to have to go through the Play Store. I wonder if banning the Play Store will hinder apps that rely on in-app payments.

Anybody know?

Could you elaborate on the "design flaws" part? Do you feel that the CRD model itself has design flaws or are you referring to specific project's CRDs?

Agreed on mail ballots. Thanks for sticking to the facts too. But are you rooting for more people to die to further your political agenda? Thats morbid. Thats what Republicans did when Obama was in office BTW, which arguably caused a slower, more painful and incomplete recovery from the great recession than was necessary. I was disgusted voters rewarded that behavior by giving Trump the win in 2016. Republicans legit STOLE 2 supreme court seats too and voters almost rewarded them again in 2020. That's put me firmly in the anti-Republican independent camp, if such a camp exists

Good luck navigating the world as an asshole. Let me know if it pays off for you.

I've taken it very personally. I suspect others in your life do too.
What's gross is people defending the burning down of small businesses during a pandemic.

Either way, reasonable people who don't defend violence in either case are irrelevant, because things happen through violence regardless. What are you going to do about it when a horde of BLM rioters comes for your business and burns it down? Have a peaceful conversation with them about how much you don't think violence will solve the problem? No, you either have a gun or you don't.
The result over the last four months has been $4,158,500,000 in gifts to 384 organizations across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington D.C. Some are filling basic needs: food banks, emergency relief funds, and support services for those most vulnerable. Others are addressing long-term systemic inequities that have been deepened by the crisis: debt relief, employment training, credit and financial services for under-resourced communities, education for historically marginalized and underserved people, civil rights advocacy groups, and legal defense funds that take on institutional discrimination.

I love that she's giving the money to small organisations apparently with no strings attached and where cash is needed. Seems great in contrast to the paternalistic micromanagement on issues with questionable efficacy that so many other philanthropists engage in.

Seems like there's a big difference between passive dragnet usage of facial recognition on crowds in non-criminal situations, vs using this tool combined with soliciting tips from the public to identify people from video of them performing crimes.
I think this is true, and I think this is also the historically precedented answer. The partisanship in Europe in the early 20th century was not resolved by debate or belief, it was resolved by war and more generally political realignment. The vast divide between capitalism and communism was resolved by cold "war," by two superpowers aligning one with each and declaring the opposing ideology a security threat and then trying to starve out the other.

I think we can avoid another major war, but I don't think we can avoid one ideology winning and one losing.

You say nothing. You just be happy they are stupid enough to say it in public and see if they end up on LEO radar. I am sure threatening VP is treated with same severity as threatening P.
And then pick and choose sound bites to report to form a narrative.
I've not used it, but that wouldn't bother me too much. It's far preferable to a language like Bash where you're permitted to omit quotes, but consequently it's a minefield to write scripts that can robustly handle strings containing whitespace (e.g. arbitrary file paths). The Ada philosophy has it right: readability and correctness far outweigh writeability.
> One side is CLEARLY delusional. Fueled by conspiracy theories and lies.

Which set of conspiracy theories? The crazy ones that Trump was a Russian asset and everything surrounding that nutbaggery for four years?

How about the current nutbaggery from the other extreme that this election was stollen through voting machine manipulation, ballot stuffing, discarded Trump ballots by postal workers, etc.

I started playing with Linux and C in 96. I was just an ignorant teenager. I didn’t know C was “hard”. I didn’t really care that Linux was different from Win95, I just knew Linux had fvwm2, gedit, and C compilers I needed for hacking on MUDs. I didn’t know chasing down obscure memory leaks was hard, I just linked libefence and did it. I was just playing and learning. Then I got offered a job doing web development with ColdFusion while still in high school. I was amazed at how easy the language was compared to C. Every “wow they must have a lot of time” project is often some other hacker playing and learning. Play and finding a way to make programming and computers not seem like work is how you develop a life long love of hacking and learning :) (this is not follow your passion advice, I think that is terrible advice, but if you can make your work feel like play and your play very intentional you will struggle to burn out or find it hard to sit down and write code any given day) :)

Edit: also, in 96 the Internet was very different. Many problems were solved by reading man pages, reviewing library source code, and thinking hard about what was happening. Modern Internet and stackoverflow /can/ make you more efficient in the short term but in the long term, it’s worth not rushing to google every error or weird problem. Give it a few minutes. If you’re writing a web app for example, in say Django or Rails go peek at the source code (they are beautiful projects). It’s almost a crime to not review the Go standard library source code, it is one of the cleanest out there. Etc, etc.

> or threats against the President

It is very much legal to threaten the President. You might get a visit from the Secret Service if your threat is deemed credible enough, but otherwise, threatening the President is exactly the same as threatening anyone else (actually perhaps even less likely to result in sanction: I could eventually accuse you of harassment for repeatedly making threats against me, the President likely cannot).

I think the problem appears much worse on twitter than it really is. It rewards narcissists and trolls. The far right and far left love fighting online, but in reality most people are somewhere in the center of the two, watching quietly. There is still some good, if not perfect, discussion on HN and other places. I havent seen people calling for public executions here at the very least. The sun will burn out before the twitter mobs learn to be decent to each other, it's best to just disregard them.

Putting Mental Models to Practice Part 4: Expert Decision Making
Apps and updates to apps. If much of the internet is crippled already, targeting app stores and YouTube could be seen to be limiting options effectively for users.

With app stores blocked, what prevents the government from blocking messaging apps next, as they won't have ways of providing updates to users? I'm referring to Telegram and what they've previously done to try circumvent blocking techniques.
That does fix it. Thanks. I had been doing full refresh and didn’t realize that would work. I played with it a bit more. Seems to be portrait to landscape and back to portrait issue. As in, stays landscape one in landscape
Thanks keiferski for this input! I actually thought of having the site send out a newsletter based on the news every day at a certain time. So before a specific time, the site would refresh with the latest news and then sent out the same content in a newsletter. But I was thinking of keeping the newsletter to phase 2. But may be I should explore the newsletter first as the option.
> Or maybe you could do some introspection and think about what would have to lead up to you being banned?

Having the wrong party affiliation?
> 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.

Very honest!

> 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.

No! They don't always get it right?! They are literally there to ensure you get it wrong! They really are. They are part of the governance structure - they will not tell you the way out of this situation, or give you good information.

All I would say, is that you need to ensure that you act on what you know. Not on what you believe. Verify everything you accept as true or discard or assume it but be prepared to be corrected if you get better information. And if it turns out that you don't know a whole lot - that is fine! At least you're not acting incorrectly and causing problems!

At the end of the day if you are acting on stuff that you don't know, you can inadvertently cause more harm, even though you mean well. You can be manipulated (easily) to go along with the crowd.

All the best.
In 20 minutes you can read what mmap does and see that you you can map a file and copy it like memory.

In another 20 minutes you can compile and run a medium sized program.

Neither of those is enough time for someone to go deep into something, but you can look up the brand new thing you're using and see where your bottlenecks are.
Very cool look to it!
You are not helping your case. It's been a while already where they stopped claiming to have USD to back the USDT and are claiming to have "diverse investments".

Just in last two weeks the price of BTC basically doubled. ETH as well. Printing now kind of correlates with the price hike. Yes, if we assume that they are completely naked, then all of this printing is fraudulent (whether at 14 or 24B). However, if they do have reserves, this printing does make sense in the overall market.

Anyway, still curious how the 9 trillion printed by the Fed and the 10 million going to "Pakistani NGOs" [0] does not bring you the same outrage as a bunch of people putting their own time, money and effort in crypto projects. Has any bitcoiner hurt you?

[0]: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-relief-legislatio... : getting funds from government aid and putting in corrupt, violent pockets is one of the oldest tricks in the book. 10 million is "nothing" in international terms, but it can go quite a long way to help fund terrorist cells in Pakistan, no?
While you might consider software that runs on the internet to be part of the internet itself, not being able to run some of the software doesn't mean you can't access the internet.

A little bit less pedantically though, while this is certainly a blow to internet freedom, and not a good thing, I think most of us would agree (at least in the long-term) that access to the web is more important to freedom that a collection of proprietary apps.
Only if you truely believe in the delusion. I don't think most of the fascist rioters truely believe there was any election fraud. I think they needed a public rationalization in order to radicalize tacit sympathizers. Being delusional is more social acceptable and less alarming than being an out and out violent racist insurrectionist.
President Trump supported the Capitol -protests-, not the invasaion. The media has worked very hard to conflate the two. Nobody wants our institutional buildings to be invaded. That was also a general and very peaceful invasion, not people specifically targeting small businesses during a pandemic and burning them down for no reason other than because they can. It's not really comparable unless you omit all context.

The most common complaint is that AI identifies unrelated people who look similar as being the perpetrator that would never have been found without AI. Pretty likely this can happen here as well.
> not just turn into the first part after a time?

It wouldn't turn into the first part, because "the banned" of some instance could go create their own instance run by their own moderation rules.

> It would attract types of information that most of us would agree that we do not want around (child porn, terrorism planning, etc) and with any sort of traction, the government would step in to shut it down.

If some instance of a federated system is allowing child porn or other criminal content to flourish then they should be shut down. Every instance would need to be held to a baseline standard for dealing with such content.
Meh, I doubt that even 20% of the cars in the UK are domestically produced, and yet you still order your cars from the factory

mmap is being used by libraries under you; it's useful for files on internal drives, that won't be deleted, and want to be accessed randomly, and you don't want to allocate buffers to copy things out of them.

For instance, anytime you call a shared library it's been mmapped by dyld/ld.so.
Why is this being downvoted?

As an example, there was a study that eating a handful of almonds every day is correlated with a bunch of positive health outcomes. Then a follow-up paper determined that this is simply because nuts are a relatively expensive snack, so they're eaten regularly mostly by wealthier people. It's well established that being poor is bad for your health, and conversely being rich tends to allow healthy lifestyles in general.

The kind of people that take cold showers are the "health-nut" types that prioritise healthy living over comfort. They're a rare, self-selecting subset of the general population.

It's extremely difficult to do good science based on statistics of self-selecting groups, or groups highly correlated with wealth.
I fail to see why I should be concerned with people who have evinced an utter lack of concern for me. I've participated in many discussions and debates with such folk over the years, but my patience has limits.
Twitter's character limit is part of the definition of the platform. It's a constraint of the type that can spark innovation and creativity. It encourages people to be brief, or else go to extra trouble to not be brief. It encourages individual messages to be quickly consumable. When interacting with Twitter, the character limit isn't just about the length of your messages, it's about the length of other people's messages.

This is part of why the emergent property that "languages that express more in fewer characters tend to use characters that count as more than 1/240" was not removed, and was instead seen as desirable. The real limit is a rough "how long does it take to process one tweet".

"get rid of character limits", in the context of Twitter, would not be product innovation, nor an especially good marketing move. It would substantially change the nature and character of Twitter. At the very least, it isn't obvious that it'd be a net positive. It would also remove a major point of differentiation.

This announced improvement is the net result of "how do we solve this problem while still having a character limit". It's a natural evolution, rather than a massive change to the landscape.
What we could really use is some new declarative syntax that interoperates with existing cmake projects.

There is already talk of such a system and even some implementations. I am sure many people have thought to themselves "This is so complicated! So much legacy cruft! I bet I could build a way cleaner c/c++ build system! " only to run into all of the complexity of cross platform c++.

I highly doubt there will be a cargo for c/c++, because it simply isn't rust.

In my opinion she should give some of that to the Amazon employees on the backs of which the vast fortune was made. Jeff and Mackenzie really fucked over the vast majority of people that work(ed) there usually through lies about RSU's, firing people before 90 days who were expecting health insurance, timing their pee breaks, etc.

I'm not familiar with the situation.

That's why I ask for a due process like what we have with our justice system.

You and I are free to criticize FB and Twitter. As I mention, now it depends on who screams the loudest.

Let me get this right. You are against having a due process for banning elected leaders from a popular communication channel? You prefer we scream at each other until one wins? Really?
Quietly? I remember reading multiple articles about it.
Isn’t it good that they are spewing death threats to anonymous users on easily trackable apps so the police can lock them up before they do anything worse?

> That is the exact crux. I created the content, but EVERY one of these sites is clear they own it. Once I wrote it and hit send, I gave it to them and assumed ownership, they are clear about this. So they ARE publishing THEIR content.

This isn't the distinction the law makes though. The distinction is about the provider, not the owner. If I write a book, and you post an excerpt from that book on my website, I'm not liable under 230, even though I'm the original author of the content! The distinction the law makes is between a first party provider and a third party provider.

That is, imagine I got a license to an image in my book, but not for distribution on the internet. You then post the page from the book as a comment on my website. I didn't violate my license, even though the book posted on my site was mine.
Right. A serious percentage of people think the only way the president can communicate is via Twitter and there’s been this right wing persecution complex building for a few years now that they believe they are constantly being censored. Despite the fact that right wing news and pundits get a lot more shares on social media. It’s all part of the weird twisted mass delusion that we find ourselves dealing with.
What if I’m enthusiastically against censorship and enthusiastically for deplatforming in cases like Trump? Which makes me strongly dislike the news in the post.
