These laws are in response to people, some of them misguided but many of them doubtlessly neo-nazis, calling Auschwitz a 'polish camp'. The law has unfortunate edge cases but I think it was well motivated. If you tally up all the Poles who knowingly and willingly collaborated with Nazis and compare that with the number of Poles murdered by the Nazis, I think it's clear that calling Auschwitz a 'polish camp' is monstrous. And while the matter of Zgoda should be taken seriously, it should also be kept in context. Less than two thousand people died at Zgoda, which is certainly a horrible crime. But that number represents what, a few hours at Auschwitz? It was more at Jaworzno, but still less than a single day at Auschwitz. It is any wonder the matter of these camps was overlooked in the formulation of a law targetting neo-nazis who want to disassociate Germany from Auschwitz?

It's not what I'd call a great law. But I think it's a law with a wholly reasonable motivation.

They didn't. But they did measure electron hydrogen in a different way, and got a similar result to the radius with muonic hydrogen.

That makes the other measurement the odd man out. There could still be something unexpected going on with the proton radius in the presence of muons vs electrons, but it's more likely that the larger measurement is simply incorrect for some unknown reason. That discrepancy could still reveal new physics, but it's more likely an unrealized problem with the apparatus.
1. UUIDs are stored somewhere so there's already O(n) space in use. Checking for collisions is only O(log n) in time.

2. Use a tree instead of a hash-table; or just use RDRAND and hope you aren't presented with malicious inputs.

The comment in the code[1] about RDRAND being sufficient for the use-case of UUIDs is empirically false. To continue to rely upon it is to insist that the rest of the world conform to your beliefs, rather than to adjust your beliefs to match the rest of the world.

Along with this, it seems to me media should not be referring to the terrorists entering the Capitol as 'storming' as that is the terminology used by the fringe groups of which they are proud of. I've read articles mentioning what these fringe groups call 'the storm' and I think distancing media reports from that is important.
Sure, I agree, but I thought that was kind of implicit in the phrase "straw that broke the camels back". This was the latest individual thing, sitting on a mountain of other things, that finally caused the dam to break.
Except Amazon aren’t determining what is true for the world, they’re determining it for themselves based on their assessment of the evidence and control only their own actions?

right but the mob's goal was to dictate our democratic processes. their entire stated goal was to get Trump confirmed as President despite the vote etc
^ Indeed, I’m trying to offer the opposing view.

Remember, currently the left are impeaching the president with 9 days left (literally taking any future office from him). Worse, some elected officials are saying the republicans involved in challenging the election integrity (which is constitutional and unrelated), aided in causing the “insurrection”.

They feel they’re being backed into a corner.

I've got a couple in various stages (shiny item syndrom maybe ?)

https://ZeroToCentury.com - basically enter in your name, optional email, start date, fitness level, cycling level, and miles / km, and it creates a riding schedule for you to build up to riding a century (100 miles) over the course of about 50 days (depending on riding and fitness levels). It was a quick throw away app that i built to keep myself accountable during the summer / fall to get out and ride my bike. I rode a lot but was not consistent nor did i hit my century...i did lose 20 pounds which i've subsequently gained back since october though :(

https://Eurotripr.com - planned to be a site to showcase itineraries to allow users to plan trips to Europe (COVID obviously threw a wrench in this one), but it's been a goal of mine for over a decade to build something like this that helps people plan trips to Europe and build a community around European Travelers. I recently saw what Pieter Levels did with NomadList and figured it was finally time to get off my A$$ and build the thing...but COVID, life, 9-5, procrastination habit got in the way again

http://craigcampbell.io - Test site for Soccer Skills Training App (its behind a login but free and i won't contact anyone who registers to check it out, i'll probably just delete you) - built this for a local soccer club when COVID first hit to allow coaches to upload training videos (self made or from Youtube/vimeo) and have players compete in app by practicing new skills

http://craigcampbell.io/books.php - My personal reading list - i built this out this month and entered all the books i have in my ever growing 'want to read' pile / library.

https://Solomaker.life - blog site to discuss my journey to try to get out of the 9-5 and build an actual useful project i can monetize. The goal WAS to document my journey daily, but life and procrastination destroy me :/

This is objectively false. Cursing does not strengthen an argument. HFTs paid to jump the queue. It should be illegal but it is not. There are a number of low-latency strategies that are beneficial for price discovery such as index arbitrage or market-making (with requirements to stay in the market). A strategy that is not beneficial is to pay the exchange for first-look. That is front-running.

This problem would have been even more pronounced if running from a co-lo/non-cloud entity. Imagine getting a court-ordered shutdown or confiscation of servers for evidence etc. Frankly you would expect a "high"-profile/controversial service like Parler to have at least conceived of the possibility of a take-down from a cloud service and had a plan in place for it. Amazon had already cut ties with Gab last year [1] so this should not have been a huge surprise.

> feel like they don’t have a voice

Congress is about to impeach Trump (successfully this time, since the Democrats now control the Senate). That will prohibit him from holding public office in the future, so they won't even be able to hope for a do-over in '24. I doubt that will do much to calm them.
Yep this is the main issue,you said before me.

People here will first play the gambit "there is not such thing as an objective/impartial press" knowing that that will lead to a neverending philosophical debate with no conclusions.

Then you will say, "fine, at least give me some journo that exposes a Democratic senator with the same ferocity of a Republican senator who did the same thing and vice versa" And you will be received with this line "You are an enlightened centrist, both sides will never be the same and if A says the earth is flat and B says is kind of a sphere there is not a valid C ,middle-of-the-road both-sides position" and they will act as if they gave a fatal blow to your argument.

Oh, but Zbigniew Ziobro (the minister) IS kinda insane in other aspects. He's a hardcore conservative.

His childhood/teenage hero was Janosik, a highlander bandit along the lines of Robin Hood. Being a fan of vigilante justice is not a good sign if you're a minister of justice.

He's bothered by independent courts and independent prosecutors. He puts pressure on judges ruling not along his will, he harasses them, stripped one of immunity for investigating a break of parliamentary statute. If you do something he doesn't like, he might relocate or harass you under a pretext. Make an example out of you. His actions are clearly aimed to produce a chilling effect. But priests accused of pedophilia get silent protection, including getting a peek into court documents. He also likes to micromanage court cases, especially in flashy cases where it's easy to get an emotional reaction from people, such as accusions of rape, pedophilia (except by priests), murder.

He gets in bed with Ordo Iuris, a para-legal branch of the Brazilian catholic sect TFP, condemned by bishops in Brazil in the 80's. They are absolutely against abortion and openly seek goals like forbidding divorce.

He's a mediocre lawyer.

He objects to the idea that European Union cares about law-abidingness and asked the consitutional court to check if the idea is compatible with constitution. Political goals and "good of the nation" are more important to him.

He's a paranoid, petty and vindictive person. Also, very power hungry.

> does not break Polish law

The ruling party intentionally creates ambiguous law that can be applied in an arbitrary manner. Be on the party's good side.

Current Polish government is a lite version of authoritarianism, and getting more so over time. It doesn't control all aspects of life like a totalitarian party would, yet. But it's trying, for example religion, against sexuality(including basic sexual education), edits history textbooks, paints new people as heroes and erases old ones. Doctors and experts don't have much to say in matters of the pandemic. One party official openly stated they have no use for experts because they refuse to implement the party policy.

Don't miss the fact no ruling party member congratulated Joe Bidden on winning the election. The closest they got was congratulating him on a "good campaign", echoing the statements of those like Vladimir Putin. They are very much fans of Donald Trump. NATO's new focus on "defense of democracy", EU's attention to law-abidingneness, Biden's ostensible emphasis on values and democracy are all dark clouds for the Polish ruling party.

The bottom line: for the pro-West, pro-EU Poles, Ziobro is an awful person.
I mean the comment should have clearly been hyperbole. But I guess with how things are going I should have known better.
> Many environmental crimes can be hidden in a recycling program.

Yep

But by the same token, many materials in consumer electronics are mined unethically and/ or end up causing toxic pollution. If companies can effectively recycle these products without, a great amount of environmental (and human) damage can be avoided.

I would argue that having a responsible battery reclamation process is more important that having questionably repairable devices.

Also, while we're being cynical here. If we make a device "Repairable" that doesn't mean it's going to ever actually get repaired. If it doesn't make economic sense from the end user perspective, repairable products end up in the trash. This is particularly true in this world where manufacturers stop releasing software for old hardware. (Or worse, remotely brick old hardware)

> these private companies control communication.

I think verbs are important. Another way to say this is that these companies enable or provide communication.

Imagine that COVID-19 had hit in the 80s before we had all of this. It would have been miserable, isolating, tragic. But would it make sense to blame the tech companies we have now for not existing then? Would it have been someone's fault?

> All my communication with everyone I know is done via private companies.

Another way to frame that is just to be thankful that those companies are there to enable that communication.

That, of course, doesn't mean they are free from moral consequences or anything. But we are only beholden to them because they are providing us so much value.

> The protections around freedom of speech were put in at a time where it was inconceivable that a huge majority of worldwide speech could be mass-monitored and auto-censored by a few giant private companies that self-police what can and can't be said

It was also authored in a time where "broadcasting" meant literally printing copies of pamphlets and physically depositing them in every town square you wanted to reach.

I don't know if we have any clue how the Founding Fathers of the US would have interpreted today's communication systems. I think we need principles that are designed for the structures we do have without necessarily assuming any at-the-time-excellent principle from the 1700s must be directly mapped to today's needs.
> I don’t think it’s possible to secure a contract with such favorable terms that you can not get cut off for inciting physical violence on government property.

Not only is it not possible in the pragmatic sense, I don’t think its legally possible, since knowingly carrying such content is quite often criminal (not just for you, but if the higher-level vendor knows about it its criminal for them), and a contract to commit a crime is usually void.
> Now, lots of people feel they have taxation without representation.

That's the phrase used by DC Residents. Which has just been demonstrated:

1. The DC Mayor was powerless to stop the riot. The DC National Guard report to the President (EDIT: and the President took 3-hours 10 minutes before the DC National Guard responded to the break-in. From 2:30 to 5:40, the DC National Guard waited. So needless to say, DC Residents aren't exactly feeling safe about the President's ability to protect them)

2. The DC Residents, where the riot took place, have no Representative nor a Senator to represent them.

3. DC Residents pay taxes, just like everyone else in this country. But without a substantial Representative nor a Senator to carry their voice (on such important issues like: maybe the Mayor should have been in charge of the police forces on 1/6th, instead of Trump).

--------

I presume that those who lost the election still have a Representative, a Governor who controls their own military (a local National Guard and/or militia of some kind), two Senators and more.

DC Residents on the other hand: show the true "taxation without representation". What it actually feels like to not have power over your own city.

It isn't relevant in regards to why they were de-platformed, but if you want to look there are plenty more with higher view counts.

My understanding is that Apple wanted some form of auto-moderation. Parler's self regulation by user votes is a joke and leads to the opposite of free speech. They wanted a plan and a conversation, Parler refused. So, bye bye.

Apparently everyone has abandoned them, including their own lawyers. They could have fixed this, but they decided not to, and are now crying foul.

That's not how arguments from contradiction work. You've assumed H (halting problem is decidable), prove B (beauty decidable), then say "but actually !H, therefore !B". All you've proven is that H => B. An actual argument from contradiction is "assume H, using H we can prove an obviously false statement, therefore not-H". And indeed, you have assumed something false (H), and shown a contradiction (various proofs for !H), so your original assumption was wrong (!H).

A concrete example: say Beauty(R,D) is trivially decidable (say it returns (popcount(R)+popcount(D))%2. Your argument "proves" this property is undecidable, but it's definitely decidable. So some step in your argument is wrong.

Another concrete example: Assume the halting problem is decidable. I would like a cookie. But the halting problem is not decidable. Therefore I would not like a cookie.

Bad idea. The market is supposed to process information for us. Consumers are just individuals who know what they need and what they want, but not much else. The market (if we are to believe the hype) can process enough information to make selfish actors in aggregate cooperate. So why not let the market solve it?

Consumer-responsibility is pure propaganda: in the same way “we” (collectively) drop plastic into the middle of the ocean, “we” (chiefly the corporations and their marketing departments) drop the symbolic responsibility on consumers.
