They're looking for more open technology that they can use as parts of their system. As opposed to, say, the present cellular systems where it's:

1. Hard to create your own cell network (in contrast to a wifi or ethernet network).

2. Limited choice on vendors (again, in contrast to wifi and ethernet).

5G's potential ubiquity and utility, but limited vendors, is an issue for the DoD. They want to use it, but if they can't build out their own 5G infrastructure reliably with a decent variety of vendors it's a no-go.

Project Uses Data Science to Fix Your Skill Gaps
One way you can make sure you don't inadvertently make changes is to use assertions, similar to how you'd use assertions in a programming language. For example, you can enter a balance assertion that's identical to the month-end balance on a paper statement you receive. If you somehow later mess up transactions somewhere so that the assertion becomes invalid, plain text systems will let you know.

BTW, I think one of the main differences between Ledger/hledger and Beancount is whether assertions are interpreted per-file or globally.
I don't think any consumer is buying a smart phone with the expectation (or intent) that it's recording them all the time, or sometimes, or at the behest of law enforcement, etc. They aren't really thinking about this when they buy a product like the Echo, either, I don't think. Also: a phone without a microphone will be of limited utility on calls. ;-)

The only way to be sure these devices aren't listening to you is to not have one at all. Or, as the person in this article did, take it apart and de-cap the chips to make sure.

In the case of smart phones, I think it's a mistake to assume that switching some of these functions off in the settings will actually have the desired effect: preventing the phone from recording audio without making the owner aware of this recording.
3) I agree OI is going to be the goto but I'd caution to have a good feel for the underlying and market participants. It is not just market makers that sell calls - covered writes are a popular strategy by investors to pick up income. Vertical spreads are used by some punters too.

Puts are where it is likely to be just market makers on the short side - lots of insurance buying but few nakeds or covered shorts.
> On the other hand, do we really want a handful of unelected billionaires deciding what is acceptable speech - whether or not we agree with them? We talk about net neutrality, but shouldn't we apply the same standard to hosts like AWS?

I think it's fine to be concerned about the principle while in agreement on this use. Both things can be true.

And FWIW, that's the state in which I find myself. The president used Twitter to promote lies about the election that were consumed by his followers who then used social media to plan and execute violence in the US capitol. When that same cycle threatened to repeat, these companies stepped in. Good for them, what was their other choice?

But appropriate action in this case does not mean that the process and standards used are OK in the arbitrary case and completely agree that lack of legislative standards is the problem. The tech companies had not good choices here because as a society we've not yet set any reasonable rules.

Free speech doesn’t mean you have the right to go over to your neighbors house and print out and distribute hate speech from their printer.

Parlour used AWS property to allow its members to help organize sedition. AWS has the right to nope out.

All the problems with large private entities like Twitter and Facebook hosting speech on their own terms pale in to comparison with letting governments dictate how they host speech.

Parlour can find or create another hosting device and get back up quickly. If they want to use mainstream services, they should moderate out something other than liberals.
> On the other hand, do we really want a handful of unelected billionaires deciding what is acceptable speech - whether or not we agree with them? We talk about net neutrality, but shouldn't we apply the same standard to hosts like AWS?

I think this question conflates "private company exercises right to refuse service" and "private company decides what's acceptable speech". The internet is not truly centralized and no tech giant has a monopoly on speech. There remains plenty of internet real estate to host ideas on that's not owned by tech giants. I think it should remain the right of these companies not to do business with organizations they choose not to and that said organization should also have the right to find another provider who will do business with them (or create their own if need be).

I agree with both sides here. Spark was the in thing for a while so a lot of places are using it but probably don't need it and could have been better off running various SQL scripts to do some transformations. I worked on a project exactly like this where we should have used SQL scripts instead of Spark.

But I also think that a lot of enterprise pipelines went all in on spark and so now moving to something else (SQL scripts, Snowflake, etc.) just isn't worth it. So Spark is dead, long live Spark.

Summiting Your Goals in 2021
Unions are not just for the purpose of getting fair pay, but rather about a broad case of being on equal footing with an employer, as stated in the parent comment. Besides, this union is not just for salaried google employees, but also contractors etc - this will include for example cleaners and cafetaria employees, which are much more likely to be in need of the sort of union support that you mention.
You can definitely have different opinions on what you think the law should say, but you're misrepresenting what section 230 is for.

I can't find that Ninth Circuit rulling you're referring to. The closest I can find is Barnes v. Yahoo! where the court ruled a company can't be compelled under the CDA to ban someone. In that ruling the Ninth circuit said that congress wanted to “promote the free exchange of information and ideas over the Internet and to encourage voluntary monitoring for offensive or obscene material.”.

I can't find a ruling that says the intention of section 230 was to enforce unfettered free speech. Rather as I understand it section 230 is there to protect companies who want to publish a myriad of opinions by clarifying that it is the user who is liable for what they say, not the company that runs the website

Exposes which crimes exactly? Don't tribunals normally take place after you've got a good idea of what the crimes are?

With Mux you can enable "Redundant Streams" (multiple CDN's used in HLS manifest) which I think solves the issue here. We are also a big Mux customer but admittedly haven't made the full switch to redundant streams, although our testing was very promising. Since their ingest is all GCP I don't think that was affected by this, and it would have just been delivery.

If one accepts the premise that Trump's various press secretaries repeatedly lied to the press and the American people on his behalf...

Then why would it be unreasonable to assume that if they were to become a spokesperson for some company or product that they would continue to lie?

Of course if the issue is that one does not accept the premise then the conclusion does not follow.
10G SFP+ would be more useful IMO too. It's becoming more and more common on switch hardware. Seems to me that anyone remotely interested in 4x2.5Gbps will be using VLANs on a decent switch, so they might as well trunk them on a single 10G SFP+ to make things simpler.
The machine does the same thing regardless of whether you ascribe meaning to it or not. In this sense it is like the thermostat from Searle's example, which he was claiming computers are not.

This property of determinacy seems ill defined as well. It's basically defined from the assumption that the human mind is immaterial. If a machine and a human both arrive at the same result when posed a question (say, they both produce some sound that you interpret as meaning '42'), by what measure can you claim that one had semantic meaning and the other did not?

The idea of cognitivism is that there is no fundamental difference (even though of course it is very likely that the process by which this particular machine arrived at that result is different from the process by which the human did).

If I stand by a door and open it when big objects come into my field of view, how is that different from a machine doing the same?

And then, if I had a Machine that could converse and act just like a human (including describing its feelings and internal sensations) while doing nothing fundamentally different from our current PCs, by what measure would you say that this machine is 'simualting' a mind and is not in fact a mind in itself? (though of course it would be a different mind than a human would have).

I'm stuck on the weather hypothetical because it's a neutral topic because it depoliticizes the issue at hand. What you are failing to answer is that the people who think it's not raining outside are refusing to apply any critical thinking; no amount of "neutrality" will fix that.

To go back to your topic about BLM; your counter-issues have been addressed many times. Remember that Kapernick started kneeling in 2016, during Obama, protesting to criminal justice reform. BLM activists had continually made the case that police reform is needed given:

1. Black communities are over-policed and black Americans were targets, for reasons including generating more revenue. [1]

2. White victims such as Daniel Shaver [2] received major media coverage from BLM and mainstream media.

I could sit here and list of articles and anecdotes about the BLM movement - and you can research them as well; but the solution comes with discussing police reform and as you can imagine they are certain institutions who do not want to have that conversation. The problem is, just how it's raining outside, despite evidence for it, the "not raining outside" crowd will continue to regurgitate the same arguments like the one you have espoused. And in this 4 years of trying to convince them that it's not raining outside we have hardly made a dent in the issue. At this point you can only make the assumption that one side is acting in bad faith; and if that's the case why should anyone give a neutral position to bad faith actors? That's why I don't think it's a solution - it's not that the other side is "misinformed", but they are actively impeding progress with bad faith arguments - in order to prevent having to reform our profitable criminal justice system and their attempts to tell us to be "neutral" is simply an attempt for them to slide us backwards.

I appreciate that Android is widely adopted in India, a free and open source operating system but the amount of data being collected is simply too much thanks to oems installing their own software on top of it. That and the fact that due to data being very cheap most users will install all kinds of software that again collects data. Privacy laws in India are non-existent. FOSS doesn't solve that unless FOSS from private companies is also audited and the data being collected is clearly explained to the consumers and they are made aware of it.

Well, by a sufficiently lax definition, any gardening club is a political pressure group, because they are of course interested in their members not getting shot, gardens not being outlawed and fair prices for seeds...

The one thing that makes unions special imho is the focus on workplace issues in a specific industry or company. That is the area where a union also has legal protection. Anything else they do isn't necessarily protected, and I find it very odd that that "union" does everything _but_ the protected stuff.
They obviously need to fix the actual problem first, but they only just found out about the new "actual problem". Surely somebody somewhere has actually looked at this status page before now, so this should have been a known issue already.

No one sheds a tear for Parlor, but lets also be clear about this, the social media companies just showed a token of conscience and it doesn't mean anything. They still didn't boot people like Cruz, Hawley and Gaetz and the numerous others still inciting the insurrection. I am sure they will not boot these lawmakers as they will face retaliation if they do. I don't trust the change of heart they are showing.
Sounds like a principle to me.

edit: to make this answer less of a throwaway line: it's a principle that underpins most of the MMR-based ideology on this very same website and animates most of the tech scene in general, "making the world a better place" statements notwithstanding. How many of you here can genuinely pretend otherwise in your professional life? A portion perhaps, but clearly the minority.

Beyond the simple cynicism of pointing it out, this principle seems to be quite stable and efficient in the face of an audience that shifts its priorities every two seconds. Perhaps the better question to ask would be why the system of incentives that we have cultivated rewards this behavior. The crowd rewards certain behaviors, and in an increasingly postmodern world moral statements are usually lost in the noise or take the shape of a parody of themselves.

Is it possible they are growing crops that don't require pollination? Many do not.

Even though farms are smaller in the UK, am I correct in assuming that many farmers still practice mono-crop? If they do, then depending on wild pollinators alone is never going to be the best strategy. Crop yields will always increase significantly by introducing farmed bee-hives.

Here is an article I found from the UK Bee Farmers Association
https://beefarmers.co.uk/working-with-other-sectors/contract...

It says in the organization even runs a 'National Pollination Service' with a sitting 'Pollination Secretary'.

I think beekeeping is a very interesting industry. I'm sure many people in the UK and the States are probably unaware of these practices and how integral they are to farming.

> The Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure (FFII) is a European alliance defending your right to free and competitive software creation since 1999. We are working towards the mitigation of legal risks in software development. We do so by keeping software free from patents and promoting a digital infrastructure based on genuine open standards and free and open hardware and software.

> The FFII famously made a difference to prevent a EU software patent directive and continues to shed light on the schemes of the patent system to enter the software sphere and detach itself from democratic and fiscal oversight. One recent example is the Unified Patent Court (UPC). A specialised court which fences patent reforms off. We rely on networking with the European Parliament members and partners from industry and civil society. Its work won the FFII the Outstanding contribution to software development prize by CNET.

What if the trade war was already going on, and we just refused to fight it? I think that only benefited a few people. The Walton family, for example.

If other countries are propping up their industries, and we fail to respond, that's a disadvantage. There are also national security concerns. It's not all of one or the other, but there may be a balance and that's worth exploring further, I think.
