I couldn't agree more. However there are voices at the fringes getting much much louder on both sides who are definitely not the same thing.
Im a pretty well known founder and I cant stress enough, the higher up you get the less people know whats happening holistically. Observationally I think it's a product of the fact that managers who get to the top are so dialed to the politics and daily reality of the role (its how they reached the top of the mountain), that theyre very brittle to all the other details of their world. I think this happens all the time and her cardinal sin was courting national press in a space that kills people while committing fraud.
Noted! (We're not in disagreement regarding the mechanics.)
(In US) I agree that business owners should never refuse people based on political opinions. I would be firmly against AWS/Google not willing to work with a company because it has conservative views.

In Parler's case, the issue isn't that they are conservative. The issue is that they refuse to take any responsibility for the hate and violence on their platform. John Matze had every opportunity to take responsibility for the content, but he was vocal that he would not do anything about it.

If I were running a cloud provider company, I wouldn't want anything to do with this behavior either. Who cares whether the users lean right or left - hate and violence are unacceptable.
This is exactly the point that the article misses. It's not contradictory to hold the views that "This was the right decision" and "This decision shouldn't have been up to private companies".

While there are significant improvements that could be made to our laws, the most significant failure here is one of enforcement. When Republican senators chose not to hear witnesses during the impeachment trial they took a significant step towards making Donald Trump a despot and legitimizing the alt-right. The recent strife is a direct consequence.

A country can still improve wealth and health of the citizens without an increasing GDP. If work is spent on impactful areas that make people's lives better. Motion is not necessarily progress. "Growth" where we spend loads of money building out unused infrastructure is empty growth.
On that note, this feature - https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/1567 - to allow bulk saving of media to iOS photos also hasn’t been addressed.

Whatsapp allows media from specific chats to be auto saved to photos. It is a very important feature, not sure how these aren’t making the priority bar.
Rather than a plan to do that, it could be that if you get together all of the 0.05% most pro-union Google employees, and have them fairly vote to determine their average desires, you'll end up with something different from the average of all Google employees.
I briefly had a Lenovo. It was noisy too, and sent it back. Have a Dell now, it's half the volume but still too loud.

My old MBP with it's C2D desktop-class chip was both quieter, and less random with fan speed changes. I hear it less because it's constant.

I think in the modern era, if you want above average performance, it'll be far from silent.
I didn't know it was common to bludgeon police officers to death on your morning walk.
> I totally get you want to attack Facebook and its ilk, but regulation can entrench the incumbents and reduce competition if not thought through.

They're already entrenched. What exactly are you worried about? You are just playing the devils advocate without actually having a point.

> It raises the cost of advertising.

Huge assumption that nothing better takes the place of algorithmic CPC-based advertising, or that a marketplace based entirely on ad-driven consumption is even desirable. It's not even worth discussing the rest of the speculation, because I reject the premise. The well-being of these ad-networks is no where near the top of my priorities list.
EDIT: Just reread your comment and I agree.
To be honest I am not sure. From what I have read you were right on the first guess. When China applies tariffs it is a single political body making the decisions, while the EU needs to deal with a lot of different national interest groups all applying to get the benefits of tariffs for their product or service. Back when Trump started doing his initial rounds of tariffs and inviting reciprocation from China and the EU the Economist had a nice map that showed the regions impacted by the tariffs from the EU vs. China. The EU tariffs were all over the place and a lot of them hit west coast areas that competed with the EU but had little impact on the decision-making, while the Chinese tariffs looked like a 2016 electoral map. (The latter was probably helped by the fact that China imports more cereal grains from the US than does the EU so they had an easy way to hit midwest and great plains states.)
There's nothing in the President's speech on the 6th that called for violence. Not a word. See for yourself:

I can show you screenshots of tweets that are as bad or worse. The difference is that Twitter actually has built up, over time, the ability to moderate fairly well.

The value of Twitter isn't really that you can post and view small snippets of text. It's that they've developed technology that allows them to effectively moderate.

Any poorly moderated site eventually becomes associated with the right.
Isn’t it great that there are many options on the market fitting that description? Even from this very company!
For now, I am not worried that the president of the United States has no platform to express his opinion.
checked the last 10 closed pull requests

-1 closed by the author realizing it had already been done

-2 closed saying they were going to fix it differently

-1 closed saying they took some code from the commit and fixed part of it differently

-6 merged

seems quite reasonable to me (albeit this is only from the newest 10 closed pr obviously)
Ok, so the barrier to entry to building a business is now that I need to get all my customers to be aware of two domains, get all my customers to use Tor and to host my own DNS (presumably in a makeshift datacenter in my bedroom?).

Great, thanks.
Obama failed in this regard. But Obama does not represent all dems. Nor does Obama represent Dems in 2021.
Yes, a lot of road money comes from state/federal budgets, not local. It actually causes many problems. Residents don't want a freeway through their town but guess who makes those decision?
Few years ago I experimented with a social media in which User-submitted posts become visible only after filtered and ranked by random anonymous polls sent to sub group of the community.

It requires members to vote once in a while but eliminates biases and increase diversity.

I got some activity but did not have the time to keep alive and experiment. I still think the concept have potential, maybe someone will refine it one days.

In New Jersey there is an abandoned commuter line that already has stations and the tracks are still in place. The residents shutdown efforts to revitalize it because it would raise property taxes.
That's not what's going on here. You're referring to the braindead behavior that `/dev/random` can block because it thinks its entropy pool has been depleted, which is of course dumb because once the pool is sufficiently full it can't be emptied. What's going on here is the scenario where the pool genuinely is empty because it hasn't been filled yet. This can only happen at early boot, but is a genuine thing that happens; unlike it becoming empty later.
This is the fundamental purpose of government. Providing services is a mere concession to keep the gravy train rolling.

A MacBook Air with M1 does not have a fan and I find it faster than my Dell XPS 13 from 2015 when running the scikit-learn test suite which is quite CPU intensive.

Running those tests on the XPS 13 would typically cause the fan to turn on after a minute or two if I remember correctly.
This is a great example, but is still horribly limited in functionality. I use my Google home constantly, but I've built a mental model of its limitations and am still frustrated by the "latency" involved when my model assumes it can do something it can't.

Hello, co-founder here: as a backend developer I've had to develop web APIs for various projects over the years. Before I could spend any time on designing and testing my business logic, I had to invest hours into making sure my boilerplate code was valid and provisioning infrastructure, not to mention setting up my cloud environment.

We built Amplication so that developers like us could focus on coding the parts that really matter, rather than get distracted by undifferentiated heavy lifting. Amplication is an open-source tool that lets you design your data schema and in return it generates for you a human-readable and editable TypeScript Node.js codebase. This server codebase includes a GraphQL API, REST API, authorization, authentication, admin UI, users management, logging utility, error handler, and much more right out of the box.

we generate your server code dynamically based on changes in your schema.
You can download the generated code or continuously push it to a GitHub repository to continue off and edit it further on your own.

For your convenience, we use a web UI to manage this whole operation and it is available for the community as a managed service on https://app.amplication.com, or you can run your own Amplication server.
I’ll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have and get your feedback.
Apple do it in certain degree. By makes their mobile browser extreme buggy and feature lacking. You don't even have proper notification support on it. How could it be used as a proper app? A social app that can't tell you that someone send a message to you sounds a no-go to me.

The pivotal book about freedom of speech, 'On Liberty' from J. S. Mill, is predominantly interested in freedom from societal suppression, not just government suppression:

"Like other tyrannies, the tyranny of the majority was at first, and is still vulgarly, held in dread, chiefly as operating through the acts of the public authorities. But reflecting persons perceived that when society is itself the tyrant - society collectively, over the separate individuals who compose it - its means of tyrannising are not restricted to the acts which it may do by the hands of its political functionaries. Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practises a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself. Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough: there needs protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling; against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them; to fetter the development, and, if possible, prevent the formation, of any individuality not in harmony with its ways, and compel all characters to fashion themselves upon the model of its own."
In Rust's target domain(s), those details often turn out to be quite relevant.

Hiding them basically amounts to targeting a different domain. This is very different from being irrelevant and noisy.
It does not even need to host the entire plug. Just the connectors. The rest can be kept in place with a sprung port. Dell is doing it.
Or I don't know, SBC vendors, you can get one AMD R1606G board and actually bother to make its 2x 10Gbps on-chip NICs usable? As opposed to everyone attaching 2x 1Gbps to it for whatever reasons (really tempted to say its laziness but maybe there are legitimate reasons, although I don't think so; why would AMD make a board on which an on-chip dual NIC is unusable?).

Piling such addons on top of an otherwise single-board computer feels quite strange to me. What are the thermal implications of such a setup?

Not an expert by any stretch but I am very skeptical.
Maybe I'm wrong but this isnt about politics, its about violence to the public. Only when that line was crossed did private companies concluded their terms of service were breached.
As opposed to billionaires like Rupert Murdoch?

Redundant streams would definitely help mitigate the problem, but we're also days away from shipping a feature that would have allowed us to seamlessly switch over to another partner in a situation like this. C'est la vie.
Like Adam Smith pointed out, the ideal set-up is to maximize imports and minimize exports. This will make your nation richer over the long run.
It's for the best. A phonebook is a single list compiled by one organization. DNS is more like asking a librarian for information on a subject, and the librarian handing back a reference book. The librarian may or may not know anything about the subject, but they know where to go to find the information.

Just like DNS:
- Which librarian you ask can result in being pointed to a different reference book.
- If the librarian is already familiar with the subject, they may be able to give you the answer directly to save time instead of pointing you to the reference book.

The phonebook metaphor was a good one to give to completely non-technical people, but technical people used it as well, and so often didn't intuitively understand that DNS involves clients exchanging data with arbitrary servers on the internet, using their own DNS server as a proxy. As a result, they often leave s significant communication channel open to the internet even from supposedly secure environments.
That anything is justified as long as it's done in the same of anti-fascism is indeed a coherent principle, though not exactly one with a noble history. The official name of the Berlin Wall was Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart[1].

I don’t think the ultra book is a meme. I’d consider the MacBook Air to be the single most successful laptop of all time, and for good reason. For many people it’s basically the perfect compromise of size, weight, power and battery life. (Also, while the Air is thin, it is certainly not fragile). The current M1 Air is a really great machine. And while it’s not powerful enough for my work (data scientist - waiting for a 16 inch MBP, or perhaps I’ll get a larger thinkpad and put Linux on it), I am not going to delude myself into thinking that my needs are in any way representative of the average consumer. A good ultra book is perfect for people browsing the web and using office apps who want good portability.
I think everyone is missing the point of this cheap hobbyist board.

The PCIe slot on the H2 is PCIe 2.0 x4, which doesn't have enough bandwidth to saturate more than one 10G port.

This is why hobby hardware and the enthusiast market is so difficult: You can make a great product at a cheap price point and people will still complain that it doesn't satisfy their high-end niche edge case.
With the town square metaphor: while you cannot be prosecuted for what you say in the square, you can be persecuted by your civilian peers; folks may stop speaking to you, or begin informing others of your nature.

Twitter et al booting persons from their services is the neighbour slamming their door in your face, or the baker refusing to do business with you.

The town square is tcp/ip, not the services on top of it.
Yeah or an internal political activists group with union powers.
It's just a second order effect. Apple booted Parler to preemptively avoid the risk of consumers abandoning their platform.

Apple's walled garden and strict enforcement of their App Store policies are regularly championed in other threads, demonstrating Apple's strong commitment to both privacy and user experience.

Was it the right decision? Would leaving Parler on the App Store have affected their bottom line? Who knows. But you could have asked the same questions when they blocked Xbox Game Pass from the iPhone, which was certainly not politically motivated.
Lefties gone wild
somewhat echoing sibling (jsjsbdkj), 44 minor convictions tells me something else is going horribly wrong in that person's life, possibly from lifetime systemic injustices. without really understanding the person and their situation, we shouldn't pass judgment from selected tidbits in a news blurb.

we all make mistakes and break laws (often unknowingly) all the time. (harsh) punishment escalates the resentment cycle, pushing it to fester and metastasize, and is counterproductive to stable and harmonious societies. as such, you'll never completely segregate away injustice-fueled resentment, so the better strategy is to dissipate it away using compassion and care. much less than 1% of humans (and probably less than 0.001%) are truly irredeemable, requiring segregation from the rest of us. most petty crimes are of immediate, and often temporary, circumstance.

the crimes that need harsher punishment are those committed from positions of power that affect many people (like environmental disasters and corruption). by harsher, i mean take away all the money and status garnered from the crime and provide full restitution to victims (not lawyers), not longer prison terms.

> This is about morality, not legality (which is often perverted anyway).

Well this is exactly the issue here - because unless you believe in moral absolutism, why are these tech companies suddenly the arbiter of morality?
But former Fed chairs in the past have rarely if ever gone on to other positions of political or regulatory power after their terms end. What were they paying for then under this theory?

So the people aren't responsible. But "Facebook", being a corporation and not a human, has no moral or ethical basis at all and exists entirely to make money.

So by this calculus, all guilt, blame and responsibility is just waved away. They're only following orders, all the way to the top, where management are simply rationally trying to maximize revenue for stockholders, who also have no liability.

Using the Greysteil Graywashing System™, any crime may be committed and no one is ever held responsible!
Anybody who has ever talked about housing on Twitter or Facebook knows that pictures of Mao and guillotines frequently accompany calls to kill all landlords (just to take one example I'm familiar with).

Are these legitimate calls to violence? Or just jokey memes? Is there a difference? Who decides that? In what sense do these posts not demonstrate support for political violence?
Well it's an OS written in Rust, they could certainly share things.
> The 1886 Berne Convention did introduce the concept of public domain and fair use

It did not. I have no clue what gave you this idea.

It's like saying that slavery introduced the concept of free men.

The Berne Convention did not consider concepts such as 'fair use' at all, in fact some argue 'fair use' violates the Berne Convention.

Further, public domain is a term for works whose protections under the Berne Convention expired.
But it's not. Only the first tier of servers is managed by a central authority. Everything else is delegated to tiers further down the tree.

I doubt it.

But if you're comparing with products from Ubiquiti (especially the Unifi line) you're probably going to see similar performance anyway. I switched to a APU2 as my home router two years ago, and I've been very happy with it. Doesn't seem to break a sweat handling a gigabit connection in a typical home setting, running VyOS. I'd probably think about something more powerful in an office or data center.
can you give another example?
> I'm worried about unintended consequences that deplatforming could bring if they constantly feel silenced and how the violence could escalate from the resentment it can foster in these individuals.

I understand where you are coming from but that's pretty much textbook "negotiating with terrorists". It's coddling a group of violent (or at least violent-speech) people out of fear that if we don't give them a space to be horrible then they might act out.
I think the general consensus is that it's fine if you're just doing routing/firewall:

I am aware that this was a discussion on the peripheries like the small web/privacy advocate communities. What I'm surprised is that this wasn't discussed earlier in the technical _mainstream_, which is a distinctly different audience.
I was on Ubuntu 20.04 with a 5.8 kernel. The moment I did an incremental compilation of a Rust project (5-10s) the fans kept at very noisy levels for at least a full minute.

It was awful. :(

I was at 40GB RAM (the stock soldered 8GB plus an extra 32GB stick). And for what it's worth, an external 2560x1080 display. Maybe that was it? But IMO no, it activated fans on CPU load only. Still, maybe the extra strain on the video stack kept it at a higher temperature internally so it was quick to turn on the fans at the smallest of loads? Could be.

Glad it works well for you though. What OS do you use?
