I agree. I'm a moderate liberal, but I'm aware enough to realize that NPR only frames debates in terms I agree with (and increasingly only in terms that people more progressive than myself agree with). Which strikes me as profoundly unjust considering they are government-funded. I guess I can't muster the short-sightedness required to celebrate the government's wildly disproportional endorsement of my own position. Of course, someone will make some dichotomous argument that it's the progressive position or literal Nazism.

Well, I don't but Facebook meanwhile... Honestly, let's see what will happen - it is going to be interesting at least.
Prohibition did deliver many public benefits. Not to argue that it was the right choice, but it's worth noting that the research on lockdowns is all being done fast, in the middle of it, and should be taken with some salt. Yes, we have to make decisions based on it, about what we do next, but we can still recognize that we're nowhere near as knowledgeable about this as we will (hopefully) be in a few decades when we've had more time to do research and evaluation.

As a fan of classic Opera (up to version 12) I'm currently more interested in Vivaldi browser, as it has quite a few unique UI features from old Opera, like turning images off right from status bar, sidebar browsing, window tiling and upcoming integrated email client and RSS reader will be neat.
Exchanges generally like (and provide incentives to) orders that add liquidity, which means orders that do not execute immediately. HFT orders are generally intended to not execute immediately, so exchanges would tend to like them. Of course, HFT also usually pays higher connection fees to get closer to the exchange, which probably doesn't hurt their relations with the exchange.

The dark pools that HFT firms setup to trade with retail investors are probably less enjoyed by the exchanges, but at the same time, it does reduce load at the exchange, so maybe it's mixed because it reduces the exchanges' income from commissions, but also reduces their expense from operations.

Padding orders by a random amount doesn't really discourage racing to get their first; if it's a uniform random, across all orders, you still want to get there first, which means you still want to get your order there quickly; and depending on implementation, you might break your order up into many smaller orders, so that some of them get there with less delay. If you wanted to disincentivize speed, what you really want to do is group orders that arrive in a given interval and treat them as arriving at the same time; you could do that with fixed intervals (1 minute, 1 second, 100 ms, whatever) or adaptive intervals based on the number of orders over the last interval, or randomly, if you like random.

From what I've seen from selling employer stock over the years, the commissions have gone down (to zero), and the bid/offer spreads have gone down, and both are due to HFT firms, so as far as I can see, HFT is helping me. I can't say I've noticed a difference in execution speed, trading always seemed pretty fast, as long as I was able to setup the order via the browser.
"Newspeak" is calling compelled speech free speech. This law would, for example, force HN to host spam and unrelated content since it does not break polish law. And forcing an entity like HN to host and disseminate content it does not want, is simply compelled speech and doing it under the guise of "free speech" does not change the nature of the law.
The usual purpose of these studies is to anticipate wild strains doing the same thing, to get ahead of pandemics, and develop vaccines before it spreads.

Unfortunately it's a waste if you: Don't heed the research anticipating wild spread or publish results, don't develop a vaccine, and/or accidentally release your enhanced virus before a wild strain pops up.
People do care about privacy, it's just that they have Snapchat-style privacy concerns, not the hypothetical ones that technologists tend to talk too much about. You're right that people don't care about YouTube having access to their stuff; they care about people having it—people like Regina, or their manager (or Regina, their manager). The whole "digital serfdom" concept is as abstract of a concern (and in the minds of many, as irrelevant) as the classic surveillance capitalism arguments that you're putting down, even if the digital serfdom concept is accurate. People just don't care about anything that isn't an immediate concern.
Is there an example of an anti-abortion group being deplatformed that you can point me towards? I saw Reddit banned a number of subreddits on Jan 6, but I don't specifically recall any of them looking like anti-abortion subreddits.
There have been a million reasons for years to support decentralized communication platforms, but it only gets a burst of attention when a fascist / race-nationalist movement gets de-platformed? I find that more than a little depressing. It says not so flattering things about this community if this is what you folks care about enough to notice what's been obvious for so long.

Big social networks have been mass surveillance and manipulation machines for years. The cloud and locked-down mobile platforms have been dangerous tools of mass control and market manipulation for years. None of these platforms have ever been free, open, or unbiased. Absolutely nothing changed in the past 48 hours.

If you don't like what just happened, it's your fault for not caring for 10+ years. (Unless you are one of the few who have been paying attention...)
> such a fervent supporter in the face of much evidence

Two different people talking about the exact same issue does not constitute "much evidence".

I am not a supporter of the "browser". I am a supporter of having an alternative way to have a healthy economy on the internet that does not rely on Ad Tech.

Tracking, privacy violations, the billions of dollars that go to waste due to ad fraud and the maintenance of an oligopoly that only exists due to it all... These are the real "shady practices" that we should be be pissed about, not "they added a button to the webpage that is actually aligned with their value proposition".

If Brave ever gets to do something that violates user privacy or works as a hostile user-agent, then I would gladly be the front of the line to call out for "shady practices". But the points you are arguing are none of that. What you are doing is basically Googling for "Brave Controversies" and spitting out whatever confirms your biases. This is irresponsible and creates a self-reinforcing loop of bad, unfounded reputation for you people that are working on something you don't care about, but that is important to a growing number of people.

> If you want to donate money using Brave go for it.

It's not a matter of "donate money using Brave". Brave is not the point. Brave is just a tool to build something bigger: a way to have a global digital economy free from Surveillance Capitalism. If lynks gave me that, I would use it. But Apple and Microsoft is not interested in doing that, and Mozilla has shown nothing but some naive idealism and very kind words of support (while at the same time paying enormous amounts of money to its board members). I would love to go back to Firefox if they had something similar to the BAT network. I would love if Mozilla started offering paid services to foster and fund an open web free of tracking and privacy violations, but they don't.

Brave (the company, through the browser) does. They have built a (completely opt-in and configurable) system that allows people to receive money for attention and which lets them use this to circulate in the economy, or even cash out. So when I ask you for an alternative, it's not because I want you to do the work for me. It's for you to realize that there is not any other system out there that compares to this, which then maybe will make you understand that the only reason I am "fervent supporter" of Brave is because it's the current best shot we have.
I'm not sure if they support AES-NI on ARM. I found some changelogs indicating that they do support it on x86 and x64, and most ARM routers list "hardware IPsec" encryption, so maybe?

> I also understood the anger last summer and found it difficult to condemn it

No degree of injustice gives people ethical license to destroy the livelihoods of people who had no role in said injustices.

I found the media silence on the violence and destruction over the summer, as a means to further their political objectives, absolutely repugnant.

I equally condemn the Capitol Hill rioters and hope they all face long prison sentences.

Do not allow violence to be partisan. Whether it's attempting to burn down a courthouse in Portland, or trashing the capital building, laws and gov't are all that keep civilization together.
It is a bit more complicated: the EU considers the protection of personal data a basic human right (charta of fundamental rights article 8). As such there are cases where the EU considers itself to be the responsible authority, even if the company is not within the EU, as long as the data subject is.

There are limits to that due to contract law, but there are also limits how many rights one can sign away, especially when dealing with predatory corporations.

To give a less digital analogue: if you are robbed, your local police is the authority you talk to. They are not going to tell you that you need to find out who robbed you and talk to the police in their home town.
Very subjective opinion about the UX.

I much prefer chess.com's UX. They allow multiple pre-moves vs. lichess that only allows 1 premove, has much better cheat detection and overall much better handling of players who engage in bad behavior (abandoning lost games) by segregating repeat offenders into a pool of their own so they don't affect well behaved players, and lichess has a very quirky and unnecessary 300 move limit, which one can argue is more than enough for regular chess, but for speed chess is just a nuisance.
> I don't see how it's relevant.

Instead of looking at the neighbor's mess, clean up your own mess first.

Fact is most of the former "free" (as in Liberty) world has been setting up the perfect legal building blocks for a long sitting reign of terror / dictatorship / authoritarianism, and big-tech is 100% complicit (because they will make money out of it).
Then argue that law in front of congress.

Even still, the first amendment doesn't cover calls to action so even this would have been well within legal rights to block or terminate.
Yes, it's called Facebook Group Admin privilege. Has nothing to do with race.

>How OpenBSD solved it? Instead of loading it after boot in userspace, OpenBSD load the file early, really early, via the bootloader! Seeding the entropy pool via a file is part of the boot protocol.

I thought systemd-boot implemented this as well these days?

>During early OS boot the system manager reads this variable and passes it to the OS kernel's random pool, crediting the full entropy it contains. This is an efficient way to ensure the system starts up with a fully initialized kernel random pool — as early as the initial RAM disk phase.

Enforced it could be. No way to reasonably comply, though.
There's a sense in which it is also a confused deputy problem though. You don't have authority to the object (the video) yourself, but the Ads service does, and you can convince the Ads service to use its authority to reveal information on the video that you don't otherwise have access to.
Laptops Need to Change
I think It's interesting that noone here is talking about how important it is not to fall for vendor lockin. If Parler is using a lot of Amazon specific things they'll have a hard time migrating this fast. We need to use opensource and available technologies to run our software.

(I completely dismiss the political argument here to talk about the fact that we're at the mercy of some companies for our own existence)
Already exists. A friend has his expensive bike with this system stolen, he tracked it back a few months down the road when it was found by a receiver.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to see the whole HFT industry be deleted. What a waste of human intellect.
To me the question as to whether we will witness artificially created superintelligence hinges on whether we will find concrete proof of non-locality of the consciousness.

When the latter happens, we will not only be on the final stretch to become a Type I civilization but flirting with the threshold of Type II civilization very quickly.

I believe that an advanced interstellar civilization simply cannot rely on Newtonian physics and petrodollar economy. It needs to transcend beyond this dimension because we are limited by Speed of Light in the 3d world. trans-dimensional projection and materialization much like what we see with "UFOS" is the only way to cover massive distances. Our science shows the possibility of wormhole travel. The maths show time travel is possible. We need to breakout of the waterfall model of time, space, our existence.

Speed of Light is far too slow and inefficient for us to be a multi-planetary and eventually a multi-galaxy species. We also cannot accomplish this through wars or ape-like behaviors.

A shift in global consciousness is in order and I think we are slowly heading towards that. We have never seen so much awareness for the well being of the planet which we need to stop treating like a piece of rock that we feel entitled to.

Like I mentioned before, there is something pulling us to expand, become better, become one with the universe. The maths show the universe is teeming with life, we have evidence of life on Venus FFS now, we can infer that life isn't rare it is our narrow view of life and intelligence that limits our search.
It's hard to answer that without knowing what you regard as "censorship."

If a newspaper declines to publish a letter to the editor, is that censorship?

If a publishing company and writer negotiate a contract which includes a "morals clause", allowing the publisher to choose terminate a contract in case the author is accused of immoral, illegal, or publicly condemned behavior, then is that censorship if the publishing company decides to exercise that clause?

If a company has terms of service which prevents issuing threats of physical violence, and a user of that company violates those terms, so the company drops the user, then is that censorship?

If I'm asked to speak at a Python conference and at my talk I instead talk about child slavery, causing the organizers to cut the microphone, stop the talk, and eject me from the conference - is that censorship?

Generally speaking, these all fall under freedom of association, and are not forms of censorship.

Now, there's also government censorship, but most of the talk about "censorship" these days seems to conflate negative criticism and social consequences as a form of censorship. But as John Stuart Mill wrote:

> We have a right, also, in various ways, to act upon our unfavourable opinion of any one, not to the oppression of his individuality, but in the exercise of ours. We are not bound, for example, to seek his society; we have a right to avoid it (though not to parade the avoidance), for we have a right to choose the society most acceptable to us. We have a right, and it may be our duty, to caution others against him, if we think his example or conversation likely to have a pernicious effect on those with whom he associates. We may give others a preference over him in optional good offices, except those which tend to his improvement. In these various modes a person may suffer very severe penalties at the hands of others, for faults which directly concern only himself; but he suffers these penalties only in so far as they are the natural, and, as it were, the spontaneous consequences of the faults themselves, not because they are purposely inflicted on him for the sake of punishment.
I'm going to assume that you didn't spend very long with the system.

I have switched between enough systems to know, that there is always some friction before you discover advantages.

I have also used Windows and Mac in parallel long enough to know that you are objectively wrong.

Okay just kidding - such things are, of course, to a certain level, subjective. But you didn't go into any details, so there's nothing to argue against.
What are you talking about? The last update for the "official" OS was for Android 8.0. That was two years ago.
You pretty much identified one of the main issues. We initially launched Brave Rewards (called 'Payments' at the time) with Bitcoin. Unlike HODLers, Brave users only wanted to purchase $5 or $10 at a time. In 2017, network fees and congestion got so bad that users would see 90% fees, and still not know when their BTC would arrive.

We pivoted to the BAT, built on ERC-20. This relieved us from large fees and heavy network congestion, as well as enables us to do things like create a User Growth Pool (300M BAT) to drive growth. As an example, we recently sunsetted our referral program which generated more than $13M in rewards for publishers. Initially we had planned to stop the program after $1M had been distributed, but a healthy UGP enabled us to go much bigger.

There is no animus towards BTC today. In fact, for our verified creators (https://creators.brave.com), we'll even auto-convert your received BAT into BTC (or ETH).
> ruling party replaced not only the extraneous judges, but also those judges who were lawfully supposed to be appointed by previous government

The problem is that previous government broke the law in more than one way:

1. They appointed more judges that they were allowed to.

2. They did appoint all those judges by means of single parliamentary resolution, despite the fact that Polish Constitution clearly requires voting for each judge separately.

Given those two points NONE of the judges was appointed lawfully, and there was no other way forward than repeal the whole resolution, therefore removing all 5 unlawfully appointed judges.
Speed and frontrunning are not equivalent. Frontrunning is an illegal practice. Here is an article from FINRA stating as much [0]. Of course, people are always looking for ways to accomplish this. Hell, sometimes the exchanges try to sell it as a feature [1]. Again, no one debates that these types of practices should be banned and penalized (they already are). I'm not inside "the industry" so I don't know if there are some firms that make profit from illicit means by abusing bugs and/or other loopholes where speed matters. However, speed is always an advantage when there are multiple exchanges that sell inter-related products. The same reason why computers are used instead of telephones.

You mention that HFT firms are willing to invest to beat other HFT firms gives the game away. We are both in agreement here but come to different conclusions. The arbitrage "algorithm" is simple in most cases. Futures contracts being sold in Chicago are at odds with equity prices in NYC. The first one to correct them wins. Speed is the only thing that matters. How exactly is people competing in the race "give the game away"?

I'm surprised that no-one's dived deeper into WHY these private companies don't want these people on the platform.

From the perspective of Amazon, Google, Apple, and many others, the overthrowing of the US Government negatively impacts their long-term goals in many areas, such as profit and employee retention. If the US Government were overthrown and Trump became dictator, Amazon would have to move a ton of customer data to other countries because America would be the new China.

It's crazy that it took a coup attempt to open their eyes to this risk. The fact that they didn't take action sooner suggests that a lot of C-level folks throughout the tech world have been pretty complacent in regards to government stability.
If the US was not involved what do you think would have happened? Would you like to amend it so it says "Was the most instrumental country in the Allied victories against the Axis and Nazis?"

My point remains.

Also, the US has had many prior examples of overcoming internal struggles like civil war, civil rights movement, Vietnam. A small group of hillbillies and anarchists storming the capital is not something to be concerned with as the OP suggested.
I don't even know where to start...
You set a goal "find out what I want" and start working on that goal on a daily basis.

The OP lost me at "SMART" which is the very first word in his article. SMART goals are not smart. They stem from "management by objectives" and are not a good way for individual personal goal setting.

Personal goals develop as you work on them.

Make us go to Galt's Gulch?

I think bubbling society is the future. We need to aim for this. But not physical barriers, electronic. IE your phone tells you if this is a pro or anti expert cafe. Where to sit on public transport, even what path to walk.

At an extreme, ideally this time last year when experts told people to not wear masks, those who chose to not believe them would within our internal world become like an Asian country and have kept it at bay while the society around us burned. Bubbles don't interact at all. But that's fantasy with the current structure.

That said, although I don't want to associate with people who believe in experts, but I also know the alternative might not be better, I would lose a lot of friends. Bubbling will make people chose between ideals and reality.
