No.

Free speech means the government can't prosecute Trump for being Trump. It means the Postal Service can't refuse to deliver his letters. In fact, Trump can - and should - be prosecuted for inciting an attempted coup d'etat. He should be, because, had the coup been successful, he wouldn't, and the US would be under a new form of government that could no longer be called a democracy (and don't even start saying it's not because "it's a Republic").

Twitter is a private company. As are Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and others and they have every right do deny service to users they deem undesirable, for whatever terms of service those users agreed to respect when signing up. In fact, as a user, I think they have the obligation of removing such users from the platform and to enforce equally the terms of service, regardless of said user's popularity and/or profitability.
I bought a Pinephone PostmarketOS Edition. I'm going to be honest, at worst it is e-waste, at best a toy. You wouldn't really use it as a phone. Its too slow, too flaky, feature lacking.

Pinephone is a very raw product lacking basic functionality that would be essential in modern phone - encryption at rest is one.
One day, it might turn into a usable product, but there are many, many years from this being something you would actually want to carry. It feels less useful than the first iphones a decade ago.

That being said, I would strongly support people buying these devices and building the ecosystem. We need alternatives.

The reality is today you have no escape from the big players if you want a modern usable phone device. Maybe in n years.
I would buy one in a heartbeat, if it were available in North America. Would be a good city car (but I'd not go on any roads with speed limits above 80km/h at most)

In the manual the examples are all given in both JS and TS formats.
The reason the US won't sign no-first use agreement is the situation where Russia troops start an invasion of Europe (or the Chinese and North Koreans invade South Korea, etc.).

So there are scenarios where the President is not the one declaring war, but responding to aggression, but would still be the one using nuclear weapons first.

Either way you'd have to give the President the keys to the nuclear arsenal so that we'd have a second strike capability.
I'm certainly not a top 1% athlete. I might be top 1% in athleticism, but if you're restricting to athletes... Definitely not. There is no way I could make the same progress at home as I've been getting with my trainer for the past couple of years. Not a chance. Luckily he has a private gym where only one client is there at a time since covid times started, so I haven't had to test this.

But... Having your program tweaked constantly, form improved constantly, diet examined regularly, etc... Youtube isn't a substitute. And without equipment? With my trainer helping, maybe... With youtube? My fitness would definitely be worse.

I agree that events are subject to interpretation, and I hope we can agree that he deserves a fair trial, has chance to testify at his trial and confront his accusers, and has competent legal representation.

I hope we can also agree that Twitter doesn't need to dispense with a trial and can use their own judgment, since they are not part of the US government.
I don't see why this would be related. What is the difference if this was enacted in a Trump presidency vs a Biden presidency?

Libraries don’t cut it, IMO. Sometimes you want your complete input data in registers, 4x4 matrices fit there nicely. Other times you want to stream stuff from memory, the above-mentioned 24x24 multiplication streams the complete matrix, while loading 4-long chunks of the vector.

Ultimately the capital police were distracted by multiple pipe bombs at the RNC/DNC headquarters, The FBI seized a van full of guns. The woman who was shot served 6 years in the DC air national guard, and directly trained on riot control in the DC metro area.

This was an organized attempt to assault a joint-session of the newly elected congress discharging their duty to certify the election results for the Executive branch of government.

Had the rioters reached the house or senate floor the US could have found itself without a legislative branch to legitimize the next president.
My guess is that they were waiting until they were done negotiating trade + IP deals.

Since the administration is outgoing and the new admin will likely take a new tact with regards to trade and labor, might as well throw this on the table and make the new administration have to roll back recognition of Taiwan if they don't like it.
Same here. I kinda liked swimming but now that pools are closed, apart from a short walk at lunch time (we have curfew in the evening) I don't do anything. Tried yoga but always scared to hurt myself, also I have very little room in my apartment to move... I can't run also because of body pain.

I'm surprised I only gained 4kg. But my whole body is itching and aching and I'm really feeling the effects of less physical activity.

Fuzzing Like a Caveman (2020)
I hate exercising, but I do it religiously. I am 64 years old, and in the best shape of my life. Same weight (and weight distribution!) as in college, good muscle tone. I think three things were critical, for me:

1. Absolutely no soft drinks at all. Not with sugar, not with artificial sweeteners. Nothing. Just seltzer. I used to drink a LOT of Dr. Pepper, and was told that they were contributing to my frequent kidney stones. So I stopped cold turkey, 30 years ago. I've had, I think, two Dr. Peppers since then. (I try to avoid processed foods in general, but I'm not a fanatic.)

2. Find an exericse regimen that requires you to show up, on time, and be accountable to others. I want a trainer to tell me what to do, turn off my brain, and just do it. That external accountability is crucial. I could find crossfit routines online, but then I don't do them. (I tried that, early in the pandemic.)

3. DO NOT treat exercise as a priority. Because then it is subject to your other priorities. Instead, make it a habit. You don't schedule brushing your teeth, and it is never traded off for other activities. You just do it when you're supposed to.

When circumstances pull me away from my routine (pandemic, extended family emergency), I feel like shit. My joints get creaky. Certain muscles start hurting. I have no energy. This all goes away once I return to my exercise routine. I hate it, but I love having done it -- I feel so much better in general. The high point of my day is when I am walking OUT of the gym.

Majority of people just think of FAAMG as "giant companies", so working for them is always very good, but it's not the same level as e.g reddit's cs careers question where people seem to be insanely desperated to get there

I'm currently studying (and working full time), so I'm close with opinions of peole that are in 20-25 years old range that are relatively new to the industry (0-3 years of exp) and people very rarely talk about FAAMG or any serious attempts to get to them

When it comes to online communities, then there are people who work in US or in FAAMG-ish companies and there's way more (relatively to _normal_ programmers/computer people) talk about it, but there's also a lot of people who prefer e.g Zurich, London and similar cool places.

So, overall I don't think that it is BIG deal, it is for sure significant topic that's happening from time to time because BIG tech companies are associated with doing cool stuff instead of CRUD Apps, so people can peak there, but nothing crazy.

I'm personally interested because I'm bored with CRUDs and I'd want to try to compete (or just test myself) against good people during recruitment :)
> Orwell was unable to conceive of computers or robots, or he would have placed everyone under non-human surveillance. Our own computers to some extent do this in the IRS, in credit files, and so on, but that does not take us towards 1984, except in fevered imaginations. Computers and tyranny do not necessarily go hand in hand. Tyrannies have worked very well without computers (consider the Nazis) and the most computerised nations in today's world are also the least tyrannical.

I'd go with Orwell over Asimov as far as predictions of the future...
One can make a good case for certain startups like Theranos or U-Beam to be the same type of non-productive investment as Bitcoin. Bitcoin exists only in the imagination, but some business models or products are just as imaginary because they are physically impossible. It's the same phenomenon, capital being thrown at things increasingly unlikely to yield a return.
Possibly, though they seemingly pulled the model 1 in the US due to low sales figures. It’s hard to advertise cost effectively to both the top and bottom of a market. Dealerships also have huge incentives to sell used 3 series over new 1 series. It’s a little different in Europe as the utility of tiny cars is much higher there.
It's okay when the left does it but it's a national crisis when the right does it. Pointing out the hypocrisy.
Pompeo Promises 'A Smooth Transition to a Second Trump Administration' (2020)
Also OpenAI.

Here is an interesting read (HN thread/comments mentioned in the article too)

[..] By March of 2017, 15 months in, the leadership realized it was time for more focus. So Brockman and a few other core members began drafting an internal document to lay out a path to AGI. But the process quickly revealed a fatal flaw. As the team studied trends within the field, they realized staying a nonprofit was financially untenable. The computational resources that others in the field were using to achieve breakthrough results were doubling every 3.4 months. It became clear that “in order to stay relevant,” Brockman says, they would need enough capital to match or exceed this exponential ramp-up. That required a new organizational model that could rapidly amass money—while somehow also staying true to the mission.[..]

[..] That structure change happened in March 2019. OpenAI shed its purely nonprofit status by setting up a “capped profit” arm—a for-profit with a 100-fold limit on investors’ returns, albeit overseen by a board that’s part of a nonprofit entity. Shortly after, it announced Microsoft’s billion-dollar investment (though it didn’t reveal that this was split between cash and credits to Azure, Microsoft’s cloud computing platform).

Predictably, the move set off a wave of accusations that OpenAI was going back on its mission. In a post on Hacker News soon after the announcement, a user asked how a 100-fold limit would be limiting at all: “Early investors in Google have received a roughly 20x return on their capital,” they wrote. “Your bet is that you’ll have a corporate structure which returns orders of magnitude more than Google … but you don’t want to ‘unduly concentrate power’? How will this work? What exactly is power, if not the concentration of resources?”[..]

Isn't it interesting that in most of your examples when it happened, it lead to lawsuits and legal action and recalls...

... when it happens to Tesla, your reaction is "normal", "expected", "only news because it happened to Tesla".
You're right about that, but this isn't an example of usurpation since no one would be asserting the power to launch nuclear weapons.

The attempt by the President's supporters to overthrow Congress is a far better example.

> According to the third edition, The New Fowler's Modern English Usage (edited by Burchfield and published in 1996) singular they has not only been widely used by good writers for centuries, but is now generally accepted, except by some conservative grammarians, including the Fowler of 1926, who, it is argued, ignored the evidence:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

Elsewhere in the article you'll find dates like:
1375, 1382, 1400, 1489, 1759, etc, and references to these by Fowler's

While I have no way of knowing if that's true, it's not too hard to take a few flaws in how our perception works[0] and a starting point to get to believing in widespread election fraud.

1. I'm a Republican because of policy X.

2. I'm a person that thinks carefully about facts and reason.

3. Trump is the Republican candidate -> President.

4. I voted for the Republican. I must have done that because of #2 (and not just #1.)

5. Trump speaks the truth - he speaks for the people, people like me.

6. Trump believes election fraud is a problem. Combine #4 and #2 and the linked perceptual flaws of selective focus, imagining that election fraud could happen, allowing myths/stories to guide my responses to the things I read... plus I'm carefully thinking about facts and reason, and I voted for Trump, and most of the people in my social network also voted for Trump... it must be the plurality of the nation. My peers are also carefully thinking about facts and reason, and I'm sure the news networks I follow do as well...

This is super simplified and skipping about a thousand steps, and yet, it's really not hard to see almost anyone getting somewhere they never thought they'd end up after years of reading and listening to mostly facts that agree with what Trump tells his believers.

That's probably easier to believe happened than "I want to be an extremist and I want to violently attack Congress when they attempt to certify an election, even though it was a legitimate election."

Signal probably ties message encryption to client authentication. You could give the 'federated' server your plaintext and encryption keys which acts like a client app on your behalf, but that obliterates the purpose of Signal and E2E messaging entirely. And still, they can ban your server IP at any time at their discretion. Maybe you can try to create a federated server that acts as one user but publishes an authenticated encrypted message on behalf of a different user, but there's no api for that... exactly the api that is being asked for in these requests to add a federation api.

No one is forcing you to use "Silicon Valley" products. There's already a precedent set in the courts when a bakery refused to offer service to a gay couple because of personal beliefs.

Likewise, Twitter et. al. are simply following the same precedent set to enforce their values in the products they offer. The social media app is not public square and no one is certainly entitled to use it.
Is there any kind of quality long term data available on this topic? I believe self-reported data isn't too reliable in this field as many of the listed products are considered to be lifestyle items and status symbols.

You're pulling together a handful of facts from a massive event composed of trillions of facts and weaving them into a conspiracy. It was what it appeared to be. A rally that got out of hand.
Let me help you understand my comment. I put “BLM protests” in quotes because I am specifically talking about the protests last summer that resulted from several high-profile police brutality incidents with black victims. I don’t really consider any particular group labeling itself “BLM” to speak for that particular movement, hence the quotes.

In a similar vein, I’m not blaming the people who stormed the Capitol on Wednesday for previous right-wing attacks, including on LEOs e.g. the boog boi murders earlier last year.
"The capitol isn't a game of Capture the Flag - you don't get power just by standing there. At most, the occupational of the capitol was equivalent to a sort of political panty raid. Silly, yes. Meaningful, no."

My concern is that Taiwan is extraordinarily strategic and could be a linchpin.

In the past, extreme economic situations have been "improved" by wars.

Is there another, better plan? Does anyone on the Biden team or on planet earth have a plan for resolving the severe cultural and political divide between the US and China?

Or is the divide not as great as it seems?

What happens if they actually take Taiwan? Or try?
> Where are you going to find a list of all ip addresses hosting SMTP and IMAP servers?

Shodan is a readily available database of such data. Just search for all hosts with IMAP, SMTP and POP3 ports exposed and then block those. Alternatively, a DIY scan of the whole IPv4 address range can be accomplished within hours or days.

IPv6 address space is harder to scan, but it's arguably safe to ban all such traffic since nearly nothing critical uses IPv6.

Back in the days, this was on my 486 IIRC, using floating-point to copy was faster than using the regular integer instructions for pretty much the same reason, you could copy 64bit at a time rather than "just" 32bit.
If it happens regularly, it leads to a recall, and lawsuits, class actions (see link to many of these, above)

Or if it happens to Tesla, it's "normal", "expected" and probably "the shorts".

> Thanks for being clear about your perspective. Do you think there's potential for abuse with different rulesets for different people?

Oh, most certainly. The same structure allows for racial discrimination, which I do not believe is a sensible angle of discrimination: i.e. I think Ben Carson should not be discriminated against for being black. Too high value as a top surgeon.

On the whole I accept it, though, because I don't want Elon Musk prosecuted by the SEC and the instrument that permits both is blunt.

> The measure of a crime is subjective and objective. Subjectively, the victim notices they have been wronged. Objectively, there is a claim by a plaintiff against a defendant. A claim either exists or it does not, there is no sorites.

Indeed. When there is a threshold. However, the costs imposed on society by drug users are dispersed. You can't Categorical Imperative them because some people are not capable enough to handle the responsibility.

Other times the crime is exposure to increased risk: no actual harm may occur. For instance, if you do burnouts on city roads there is little concrete harm, only increased exposure to risk.

It's the same with many things: public drunkenness, drink driving, jaywalking. And society reacts to these by permitting these activities in practice for high-value individuals while proselytizing against them at the same time.

I don't drink-drive but I happily do the other two.
In practice centralized services are just more popular. Less hassle to handle them, for users.

And email is practically the only decentralized system in widespread use these days. And it's not centralized, but close to it. You shut down 3 or 4 email services, 95% of its traffic is gone.
