> It just doesn't make sense, unless you believe Parler is bad in some kind of way and the only way they could've been bad is political.

Not the previous commenter, but Parler absolutely did commit wrongdoing, and that wrongdoing was absolutely not political. Calls for murder and violent insurrection are not political statements!
Because then you would get NIMBYism against train stations. While the asset value might go up, that could hurt cashflow for a lot of people. Anyone who wants to live there for a long time should oppose the higher tax or the train station as they don't benefit from the asset appreciation.
What was the paper about? The reason I ask is ML using datasets thats don't include PoC at all can make for some really bad models.
The news back in September was that Apple had exclusivity on TSMC 5nm to the end of last year: https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20200917PD210.html

It seems that this year Apple has only secured 80% of TSMC 5nm production: https://wccftech.com/apple-secured-80-tsmc-5nm-production-ca...
It's surprising Twitter let him keep his account this long. SV is not _that_ powerful.
"Among the goods to see an impact from the widened net of additional duty are European made wines, which will attract a 25% duty, and French and German-made aircraft parts, attracting a 15% tax."

As a French person, I can't help but feel like there's some sort of personal attack happening there. Wine and airplanes? Hey, I think you guys forgot to tax cheese and sarcasm while you're at it!

Let's hope that a new US administration will figure out healthier ways to trade with the EU, but I'm not holding my breath since these petty fights have been going on for more than a decade and more than a US president anyway.

edit: Funnily enough, there are some pretty bitter replies to my message. I'll remind all the preemptively angry commentators that I called the whole process "these petty fights" because it's not unilateral (not just the US taxing stuff but the EU too, as is literally pointed out in the article).
I kind of feel the same as you. I'm happy that Parler is gone but on the other hand I think that Google, Facebook, Amazon and Twitter are monopolies and should be broken up.
boohoo - if I have to be afraid of half the country putting me on a kill list because of what they read on social media, then people who peddle poison via social media - including the social media firms themselves - should be as uncomfortable as me and my family.
> Carrier grade NAT puts thousands of users behind the same IP address - that's what it's for.

It doesn't have to. 100:1 would work just fine. With IPs being about $25 each that's an acquisition cost of less than a dollar per user.

> That's 6.5 ports per person, you need one for each connection.

That's not how connections work. Each user could make a million connections as long as they're spread around different servers. The 65k limit applies to simultaneous connections to a single webserver. Only the most-connected server matters, so probably something at google/youtube/facebook, and even then most of those servers have multiple IPs.
That traffic was very targeted and isolated. With Parler there was a lot of collateral damage.

It did as of last year.

I used to use custom desktop clients where the chat was basically just an irc client that automatically joined whichever Twitch Stream I was watching.

Pleased to see the report reference my late acquaintance, Atul Chitnis, and his work in fostering Free Software in India. I connected with Atul during a business trip to Bangalore in the mid-90s. He ended up arranging a dinner at a nearby pub with a contingent of the a Linux User Group. We ended up shutting the place down, talking late into the night. Periodically I reached out to catch up with him and share his enthusiasm.

Like how the opioid crisis was handled.. democrats and Republicans are exactly the same thing. American politics is WWE with old people in formal clothes..
In my opinion, the difference is the amount of social pressure that is bearing down. Deciding to avoid products like the Echo and it's not a big deal. My mother-in-law will roll her eyes when I remind her we don't want for Christmas but it's not a big deal.

I can't really get away without having a cell phone. The slope has been slippery on this one; when I purchased my first smart phone this wasn't a big concern (but maybe it should have been). It's been several years and it's a bigger sacrifice, in my opinion, to give up a smart phone. Even if I wanted to, my employer might buy one for me, for instance.

I do think the expectation today is that everyone have a smart phone.

I don't think there's an easy answer. 2 possible solutions:

(1) deplatforming could be either a democratic process, or be challengeable through some kind of democratic process.

(2) deplatforming could be at the sole discretion of platforms, but the platforms themselves need to use open standards and protocols such that it is sufficiently easy for those who were deplatformed to switch to the opposition or self-platform (for example: ios allowing competing app stores). This would be difficult and technically challenging to enact in many situations (what does it mean in the case of social networks for example?), And if there's no competition we need antitrust ASAP

If all the competition are also deplatforming you, I think at a certain point it becomes fair to say that you were more or less democratically rejected, much like if every bar in town kicks out neo-nazis that's not a failure of free speech but a success of the free market. But that relies on a large, healthy, robust competitive ecosystem which does not exist in a billionaire-dominated tech scene.
How do you maintain wage and standard of living differentials with the rest of the world when transportation is as cheap as it currently is without a productivity gap, tariffs, or a carbon tax (increasing transportation cost) to make local manufacturing more attractive?

Besides, there are big strategic reasons to maintain a strong domestic aerospace industry, even if it increases costs in the short run.

It depends on whether there's a local alternative and whether it's desirable.

The key thing is whether the product is fungible.

A Boeing part isn't going to be useful to repair an Airbus owned by a US carrier.
"Guaranteeing" is a strong word. For now they want manufacturers to label products with the estimated time it's going to last. I'm not sure if this is going to be useful at all if there is no economic incentive (eg. offering a warranty during that time frame).

Example: Opel just stopped providing the OnStar service, rendering the hardware useless. My car is only 3 years old, still under warranty, but they're no longer providing service (nor offering an alternative == a repair)
When I was a child I visited the BBC Experience. From memory it was a museum about the history of broadcasting technology. One of the final rooms had a video running about what the future might hold. Something in that video made a huge impression on me.

A boy is lying on his front watching what appears to be a TV on the floor, but the screen is almost flush to the floor. He gets called away. He picks up the TV, revealing that it is has the same dimensions as a piece of A4 paper. He rolls it up like a newspaper, shoves it in his back pocket and runs off.

I never thought I would see such a thing in my lifetime, but it looks like I'm getting closer to be wrong.
I don't really see how this is practically different from any other "accountant approved" software. Even if the user interface is "append only" you can modify the saved data whether it's saved in plain text, binary blob or a SQL server.

On pen and paper you can copy a new falsified ledger and throw away the original. I think that's fraud, so good luck with it.
Yeah but now it is too late for effective policies that could have helped these people. Simple government stimulus in labor intensive industries would be enough. It's not like there is a shortage of "pointless busy work" like upgrading internet connections. Just build fiber everywhere. Get people with low qualifications back to work.

Isn't "scientism" a bit like "Scientology"? "Scientific" is a real thing, but "Scientism" is a quasi-religious belief in science.

On the incel wiki they write in the same sociological tone pioneered by Emilie Durkheim's book on Suicide that since been echoed by C. Wright Mills, Erving Goffman, Diane Vaughn, and many others. Gradually they go over the deep end and call into the question if language is useful at all in understanding our experience. (e.g. the idea of a "dogpill theorist" effaces the idea of "theory".)

It's the heatsink. And Apple isn't the only offender. All major manufacturers use terrible cooling systems, even on thick workstation class laptops. Their testing is seriously flawed, they design the heatsink for "normal workload" which means jack shit.

Everyone's got different uses for their machines, so just test the heatsink at maximum load/TDP for several hours at least, make sure it doesn't overheat. Is that too much to ask?

And if you design your laptops to be thin and light, don't shove a 6 core 45W processor in it... just don't. It will perform slower than a 4 core 35W chip, so what's the point? Having it on the spec sheet is not worth the negative feedback from buyers.

Apple went the other way with the M1, it doesn't overheat because it just uses much less power, while having the same performance. Really impressive.

You can fix the overheating problem by buying some good thermal paste and applying it yourself and/or by using software like Throttlestop to limit the maximum TDP (and even undervolt it to claw back some of that performance) and NotebookFanControl for the fans. Not sure if there are alternatives for the MacBook, though.
Sounds like you need to develop a plugin or take a look at existing ones (for example effective date [1] might be helpful)

I can just imagine the regional sales manager barking orders to their underlings. "Screw the pandemic! Your numbers are down this quarter, get your @ss out there and get your accounts in line! Or else YOU will be in line at the food bank!"

I am supprised that in this day and age "in person" software audits are still being done. I guess there must still be lots of hospitals using orphaned software as I don't think that any new software would be shipped without a method to call home to the suppliers with unique IDs.
No, this is not a good point. Parler is a one-purpose app that existed solely (and was moderated by its own employees) to foment a chamber of hateful, violent rhetoric. Facebook and YouTube are used for many things by many people. Also Facebook and YouTube remove those kinds of content (even if they don't do a great job of it, they spend a whole lot of money employing a lot of people to get rid of it). Parler moderators removed those people who disagreed with the violent MAGA rhetoric. They're just not comparable, and pretending they are is ridiculous.
> I think the perpetrator had serious mental problems

This is bias. I can't think of a shooter or murderer who probably doesn't have mental health issues. It does not change whether it's left or right wing violence.
I don't know. All I know is that it seems weird that a community that has beaten these drums for years has down an about-face. Every event where businesses have chosen not to work with facebook has been met with cheers, for example.
I've been trying to encourage more "Charityware" for software [0]. My software is free and open source (MIT license) [1] but I also sell it for $5 and donate $3.50 of every sale to a cost-effective charity. My goal is to increase donations to the charity, and asking people for donations wouldn't be as effective. My software now has generated almost over $9,000 in donations.

Personally, every purchase of my software feels rewarding. It's probably not as great as a regular donation, but it's a close second. Furthermore, since my software is pay-what-you-want (with a minimum of $5) people have been often giving more than the minimum. That really feels like a donation.

I dislike all those companies and net negative impact by all of them is undeniable. They do sell our "private" data, they do foster bad behaviors in humans. They monopolized whole industries and cemented bad ideas everywhere.

But if we would assess them overall - they indeed has changed the world for the better (in my opinion). The communication benefits provided by them to humanity is immense. Nokia's slogan - "connecting people" is the important thing, which force accelerated a lot of things on the planet.
Yeah, maybe in some other timeline different companies may have done it better, but we are not debating hypothetical, we just observe what has already happened.

In Maryland property tax rates can increase without a vote as long as the county deems it necessary. Usually the county doesn't need to deem it necessary because property value increases (which has the effect of increasing tax revenue)

So basically what I'm saying is... the POTUS doesn't need to do song and a dance in order for taxes to increase for people. For a lot of states, as long as the value of the property keeps increasing, the residents are paying more and more taxes every year. And if the income from your job doesn't increase at the same rate as your property taxes... it can put a lot of financial strain on you (my relatives in NY moved to a different state because the property taxes in Albany were eating them alive)

Example:

> Rural, or less urban environments have different cultures than highly urban environments

But that is not something that changed of recent. New York has always been different from St. Louis, but both "universes" could coexist and now they seemingly cannot. That doesn't look to me like a function of geography.

What has changed is that it's now easier to be an "undercover radical stlouite" in NY and viceversa.

> I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean by this.

Trump's organization is fundamentally bolshevik in nature, with a small inner circle of "avantgarde" that decides everything and then pushes decisions down to the masses. It's why significant chunks of his own party don't like him, because there is little or no policy elaboration even slightly down the pyramid. Both Clinton and Obama did it to an extent in their first few years, but nobody has done it as much as Trump. Trump could make it stick because the social web reduces the need to cozy-up to the larger press ecosystem for his message to spread. It's the sort of qualitative jump that early-XX century parties did with radio and films, which removed a lot of influence from local bigwigs in favours of national leaders.

> One blames the media for the information purveyed rather than the sorts of people amenable to Fox's viewpoint in their news.

Amenable people still need to articulate and support their views to be effective, and for the message to be efficiently evangelized and legitimized. Dedicated media does that work for them. Without that work, they wouldn't be as effective.

> there are other factors at play.

Of course there are, but the likes of Fox are important factors. Their tone has been extremely divisive since the '90s, this is a long wave coming.

> And yet geography seems to be in play in which media bubble you end up in

Yes, but this was always the case and it's arguably much less so now that local papers are dying off. The point is what is changing, and geography has largely not changed; but the media landscape has, and pretty dramatically too.

I had to look it up.

I share your disappointment and I'd like to invite you to DFlex (https://github.com/jalal246/dflex). It's not perfect and in the development process but I think it's a real alternative to native-like API focused on performance and easy implementation. It's just a pure js. So every fix should enhance all framework implementations. Decoupled with a separate package to prevent a bloated bundle. Work with mouse event, so nothing new to learn. And most importantly it's just a utility. You can use what you want. Finally, it doesn't sort, move,s or whatsoever. Node positions are stored separately. Each movement calculates the current position and triggers any effect that movement caused. So It may cause "dragging only with zero effect" Or "Switch with another element". It has also container/children architecture. So you can drag a child, or parent..etc

Edit: I have implementation for React and Vue but not for Svelet. So if anyone is interested let me know.

And congrats to Isaac for this nice work dedicated to Svelte community.
How this cesspool got built is a metaphor for the wingnuts who used it.

Most of us here know - if you want a resilient, censorship-free service, you can still: buy your own physical servers, rent data centre space (or a garage), buy multiple transit pipes to ensure traffic can get to them from a variety of places. You can move your servers around if you have to and keep your sovereignty despite everything else changing. It's how the internet was designed! Amazon, Google, Apple and most other private companies can go whistle if they want you offline.

Sure it takes expertise, time, expense, negotiation... but that's the price of true freedom, internet patriots!

Instead they built everything on top of the conveniences and goodwill of a single US company, with no backup plan. Hardly living in the wild west - and that's this mob down to a tee. Rich, well-connected dorks who desperately need the society they organise to tear down - why be surprised when the society hits back in such a tiny way as terminating their AWS account?

If this is censorship, I'm a bowl of noodle soup.
I call it you being hyperbolic. They need to be punished according to the law for what they were doing, but you are not responding to the arguments. In no way were they properly mobilized for an actual takeover of the government. I just cannot believe that you actually believe that yourself.

It happened so infrequently. How are they plan to test the vaccine on people?
On the other hand, if you want to talk about the power of the law, you can look at the war on drugs. Billions have been spent fighting drug cartels in Mexico, tens (hundreds?) of thousands have been killed... And they unfortunately still manage regularly ship cocaine and meth to the US. For some people, the potential financial gain makes it worth the risk to dodge the legal system.

Knowledge is maybe not as addictive as meth, and people may not be willing to make the same sacrifices to get it across, but the risk required to run an encrypted network without government approval, and the efforts the government is willing to take to squash it, are also less.
So China is getting data from both phones and Facebook?
Honestly, from what I've seen, people really are just too scared to speak French. People will pick Toronto or Vancouver over Montreal, mostly because of the language.

I haven't seen anything to suggest that Quebecois are disadvantaged, maybe except for the fact that anglo VCs will mainly try and fund anglo startups? Being bilingual is a big perk in Canada, so many from Montreal might have a leg up in that sense. But I could be wrong though.
> Parler had a history of dragging its feet about responding to specific complaints about infringing content, Parler failed to furnish a tenable plan for how to implement an effective content moderation policy, and public communication by executives indicated that they had no good-faith intent to do so.

Yeah, rolling your own is probably a bad idea in most cases.

My implementation doesn't generalize at all really and I only need to support desktop browsers. If I ever own source this app I'll let you know. But basically I have one component listening to mouse events and firing callbacks with the rectangle the user has dragged (mouse down point to most recent mouse point), and with that my state manager updates things accordingly and drops upon mouse release.
