You actually noticed something deeper than your original question — “continuity of logic”, in the sense of “continuous function”.

If you imagine you have a lot of inputs to a predicate, then the topology of their truthiness tells you something — and we can talk about “smooth” logic models, where being a little wrong in our assumption means we’re a little wrong in our conclusion. We can then apply tools from analysis, like bifurcation theory.

The “halting problem schema” has a bifurcation at the finite/infinite boundary, which isn’t particularly uncommon for high level functions.

But it’s important to know, when writing proofs.

And generally speaking, places bifurcations can happen are regimes where your model is going to struggle. In the business world, knowing the “logic faults” of your model and keeping yourself in a “smooth regime” is important.
I see what you mean! I thought you were strictly arguing a point about word processor hardware.

It’s true enough that some fairly productive authors use longhand. I believe Neal Stephenson and Joe Haldeman both use fountain pens and good paper. I think Stephenson pointed out that the best paper money can buy will never be a ruinously expensive luxury for an author. People just cannot write that fast.

I think if I were to try this it would be to test myself, to see if I could avoid the habit of constant, on the fly revision... but I’ve never loved my own handwriting.
Buying it from a store requires that somebody build, heat, and cool a large low density building to house the inventory within driving distance; it requires that somebody pave land for parking; and it requires that I drive my multi-ton vehicle to the store and back; and the packaging is more likely to involve expensive and environmentally damaging plastics than cardboard.

I never understood the mindset of buying things that are easily purchasable on-line, in-person.

I get brick and mortar shopping for items where you want to touch them, or see the nuances of the product... but for an SD card? you'd have to be literally insane to make a trip to buy that stuff.

Interesting. I hadn't really been familiar with carrier-level NAT. How does that work with say, a home server that other people connect to using only an IP address and a port number?
AT&T's home gateways have a maximum NAT translation table of 1024^H^H^H^H8192 connections. Some websites will go past that. A torrent client almost certainly will. And, now that people are working from home, there's a good chance that having multiple computers will only make that 1024 table limit even more laughable.

EDIT: okay I'm wrong. It's 8192 connections, not 1024 connections. But still ridiculously low

Armed protests against the election results are perfectly legal.

Banning people who try to organize armed protests on social media is censorship.

If these people get violent it's big tech's fault for banning them and the media for ridiculing them.

The president called for peace but they still blame him for the violence.

Why is the media critical of the Trump protests but approving of the BLM riots?

Huh? It's narrowing bid-ask spreads, which is beneficial to other market actors. There's nothing "artificial" in it other than betting that the price fundamentals won't move against them, like any other market maker.
> Actions require consequences.

So what happens when dems launch a counteraction? Well that's an action, it has "action" right in the name. And actions require consequences, so looks like reps are going to have to launch their own counteraction. And so on and so on for all eternity. That's the ball game.

What I'm saying is we need someone in power to drop the ball and leave the stadium. Someone to say "wrongs have been committed but fuck it -- its more important to the country for everyone to get back together than it is to strike back in revenge". And suddenly the reps have no more action enacted against them. And thus no more consequence is required to be enacted from their side.

The idea that we need a spectacle of constant political brawl to keep the public entertained doesn't need to be true.

Thats my endgame. Whats yours?

Yes, I agree the woman was out of line. But her behavior may be explained as her just describing the man in a manner she's seen on TV shows(the perp is 6', stocky, wearing flannel), because she also said something along the lines of "I'm going to tell them it is a black man in a dark shirt and a baseball cap" or something like that. Keep in mind this lady was a vocal supporter of BLM before this incident happened. And the man had already said, basically, "Put your dog on the leash or I'm going to do something you aren't going to like", which really does sound like a threat.

It's possible she decided on the spot to weaponize the mans race against him, or it's also possible she was scared out of her mind that this stranger was accosting her for a minor thing she does all the time (or, she's just off her rocker).

Anyways, my point wasn't about the lady's behavior which was clearly wrong regardless of her reasons, it was more about how the guy in that situation created a situation and then publicized it. I can't really feel sorry for the burdens put upon him, since he went out of his way to make what happened a news story, instead of, again, just chalking it up to crazy people behaving crazy (or racist, which is just another flavor of crazy). Like I've said, I've been stereotyped in NYC because of both my race and gender, but I didn't go out of my way to make a news story about it. I didn't even let it affect my day. Everyone has choices about where they spend their mental energy. Getting into a scuffle in central park because someone has their calm dog off leash near them is not where I would choose to spend mine.

Deplatforming is when a company kicks someone off its service for violating TOS. Canceling is when a community who previously supported someone sees another side of them and changes its mind. I believe you're conflating the two. But neither is a call to violence. As others have said, stop the false equivalence.

> the violence that's produced through their algorithms

I'm sorry, but please justify or rephrase this. People chose to do violent things. Social media may indeed be an accelerant, but someone kept providing fuel and someone was asking "my kingdom for a match!" (or more accurately, "a match for my kingdom!"). And in response, a large number were prepared to provide matches and light fires.
That’s how many people think there was funny business in this election, IIRC, so what exactly are you saying if it isn’t that 60M people are extremists who need to have their voices silenced?
Some judges have hinted that it effectively is:

Ultimately, though, I think the jury is still out.
Well there are a lot of possibilites:

1) The story is true but not meant for our eyes,
2) The story is true and meant for our eyes, but they can't officially say so or haven't yet prepared their statement,
3) The story is false and meant for our eyes as a form of propaganda,
4) ... other options

I think the best course of action is to treat the story as if it never happened. I'm utterly exhausted by what appears to be repeated propaganda via the US news media, covering their asses with this very tired "anonymous source" trick. If the source is anonymous it garners zero trust, and you just fool yourself if you think otherwise and choose to believe it because it is exciting/scary/wishful/etc... unless you trust these particular media sources (I don't). I'm fairly sure that most of the anonymous leaks during the Russia Collusion investigation turned out to be false propaganda.

If the government wants to warn us of something, they have to actually do that -- they can't play these games and presume we are going to react (if option 2) because we are exhausted by manipulation. I will take it seriously as soon as (and only if) the FBI takes communicating it seriously.
Another reason is that it can mess with assistive technologies. People with motor disorders, for example, might have either special settings or special devices that this could cause problems with.

Chess24 has Jan Gustafsson and Peter Svidler as commentators. Amazingly good English banter from a German and Russian. In general, the individual personalities of Nations comes through really well in chess commentary, since commentators are from all over the place, are quite sharp, and everyone is talking about the same thing in usually the same language (English). I didn’t even know Germans and Russians had a sense of humor...

Serious question: what feature is missing for most people in order to replace sites like FB, Twitter with a messenger like Telegram, Signal?

It seems to me that messengers more accurately match the "social network" paradigm these days, while FB and Twitter are more like TV or newspapers (though curated by "friends").

Is it the discovery of new people to "stalk" and eventually engage with? Or engaging with content outside your actual social network (commenting media articles etc.)? A desktop/web version? The feeling that you're not actually disturbing anyone directly by posting something because there's a chance it will not pop up in their feed? Something else?
I think your projecting your own feelings onto the parent comment by adding "you must be toxic" to the beginning of that sentence. The only thing the parent commenter said is that the pattern of one's use can feed into the toxicity of their feed, without any judgment of that pattern per se. Nontoxic patterns that lead to toxicity exposure could be something as simple as "likes to read and post (non-toxically) about politics or social causes".

The takeaway of the parent comment was that there are plenty of ways to use FB, perhaps in constrained ways, that don't lead to toxicity and don't require leaving the platform.

Im not personally a big FB user, but have applied this very successfully to my Reddit and Twitter usage. I follow/subscribe to a very small number of very high-quality accts/subreddits, and am selective about when I read the comments. I'm able to derive a ton of value from this[1] pattern of usage without running into the bottomless pits of stupidity and malice that the average reddit/Twitter experience contains.

[1] including the holy grail: a political discussion forum full of a wide variety of viewpoints and populated solely by mental adults
You never had to look very far on AR15.com's General Discussion board to find people posting what they'd like to do to Pelosi/Schumer/AOC, or more recently, saying that if the election result isn't overturned legally "it's up to us to do something about it". I distinctly remember after SCOTUS refused to hear the Texas v. PA case, posters saying they wouldn't mind if some justices were assassinated.

The site's code of conduct prohibited making threats, but very thinly veiled ones went mostly unmoderated. Including the practice of simply using CoC (code of conduct) as a euphemism, such as "Somebody needs to CoC that bitch (angry red grrrrr emote)".

The site cracked down MUCH harder on that stuff right after Twitter banned Trump and Parler went down. They moved politics to a separate, paid-members-only board and closed most of the political threads in GD. But apparently it wasn't enough and GoDaddy doesn't want to be associated with it.

I don't believe AR15.com ever made any official posts that advocated for violence in any way. It was all user content.
I used a RB750Gr3/hEX router for nearly a year, and I wasn't terribly impressed by the software. The hardware seemed neat, but even as somebody very familiar with routing & switching I found the UI to be rather obtuse.

The other reason I decided to 'roll my own' was an in-line IDS. There seem to be 'hacky' ways to get Snort installed on the RouterOS platform, but the CPUs aren't really powerful enough to run DPI with a sufficiently large ruleset.

I also like the ability to use Ansible to manage my router/firewall. There are modules available to do this with RouterOS, but they don't seem nearly as robust and mature as the built-in Linux utilities.
I agree!

I'm on Comcast in California, and I found that they're providing IPv6 (no CGNAT that I can see) through to my (personally-owned) router (an Asus RT-AC68U). So all my systems at home are getting an IPv6 (or multiple) using the /64 dynamically allocated by my ISP.

And today I just discovered that my parents, who get service from Cincinnati Bell FTTH, are also getting IPv6! They're using an ISP-provided router, and everything is just working.

I am really happy that things are rolling out, albeit slowly.

No such defense exists? Have you read this site every time a new wave of social media cancellations happen? After every credit card processing company ban a group of polemical people?

Are you asking the same question about what is supposedly an even safer investment, as in are the Americans really long-term interested in honoring its foreign debt? That has quite a bit of ramification beyond shore.
One more thing I would like to add, Donald Trump gained minority support. Somehow amidst all this, BLM, and such this has been swept under the rug. Reality is not as it seems.

I wonder why these flags are significant. Case-insensitivity and unicode support don't seem like they should really affect whatever algorithm they're using.

Calling consciousness “subjective” feels kind of like calling water “wet”. But anyways, life itself is built on computational processes. Most of these processes are “purpose-built” to accomplish very specific tasks, but in humans the development of a massive cortex created something of a general-purpose computer. Consciousness seems to be the necessary compromise to run such an embodied computer on top of all the other functions of the brain that serve to keep us alive.

It seems more developer-friendly to me to, at Regex construction, try to parse as linear, and fallback to a backtracking regex if not. The engine is an implementation detail that programmers probably care very little about; a linear engine being default but not raising errors would be the best-of-all-worlds scenario.

(It’s a little weird to see the i flag not working with linear regexes, mind. Surely that’s easily implemented when the regex is compiled?)
We found that our best retention is the newsletter. Most convenient for our target audience and even higher quality than our site due to some editorial oversight. So that's what the home page encourages.

When we had people go straight the site (thefactual.com/news) it did not convert as well to the newsletter and retention wasn't as great. But to be honest that was a while ago when I tested this. Maybe we should revisit.

RIP, you were a genius and pioneer
No, but I wish there were.

In the last few decades especially the "publish or perish" culture of academia in general (not just in the physics departments) has lead to a perverse incentive to make mundane topics seem more impressive by deliberately overcomplicating the mathematics.

Similarly, if you read through most (95-99%) of high-energy physics papers, they aren't even remotely connected to reality. They're advancing the state of the art for some obscure corner of mathematics for the solution to some simplified model which itself is an abstraction of an abstraction.

It is astonishingly difficult to find "down to earth" mathematics for just about anything related to theoretical physics.

Meanwhile, a lot of what physics "does" is actually very simple mathematically, it's just that that simplicity is intractable symbolically. (Nonlinear differential equations are notoriously difficult to solve algebraically, but relatively straightforward numerically.)

If you think about it, particle physics must be simple because while the Universe contains advanced maths degrees, it doesn't have one. A particle zipping around and bouncing off of things doesn't solve monstrously complicated Feynman Integrals moment-to-moment! The rules it follows can't possibly be that complex.
