This is true for only a very limited subset of data producers that need real-time or near real-time data included in ML models. For 99% of the rest, batch processing is just fine and considerably more economical.
Under the Heller decision, you do have a right to open carry.

But on a pragmatic basis, not a very smart idea to bring a gun to a protest. Most citizens are going to assume you are there to provoke violence or partake in it. If you end up in front of a jury, a reasonable citizen not going to give you the benefit of the doubt. And if an officer engages you, they will prevail legally.

Bring a sign or a bullhorn to a protest. 2A is for personal self defense when law enforcement is not available or when the state calls on able bodied citizens as a militia.
Am I the only person who likes "prehistoric x-apps"? E.g. xdiskusage is far better than any other disk usage app I've tried.
It can happen in crowd-but-not-storming-the-Capitol settings, though. A 100% peaceful protest is usually still a crowd.
Eliminating dissent?!?
I don't think this argument is valid. Were Zeno and Marcus Aurelius not Philosophers? Chrysippus or the countless others involved with Stoicism weren't philosophers either?

Firstly, most philosophers never wrote anything, as the writings of Plato, Aristotle, and most of the other Greeks came from the lecture notes of their students. Secondly, Stoicism may be used to justify not-nice behaviour, but it doesn't mean it still isn't philosophical; it still aims to answer fundamental questions.
Do you mean ngrok
I can easily see someone claiming that Apple keeping anything signed and controlled isn’t going far enough. Is there any data on how many people believe it should be “all the way”?
Lol, that makes even less sense
The talking without saying anything killed me.

That and the weird way that V rarely uses the pronoun "I" or "we"

It's not "I need help"

It's "Need help"

Not "We're going to have time."

"Gonna have a hard time."

Doing it sometimes is one thing, it's a manner of speaking after all, but for anyone who hasn't played it, it's more jarring than it sounds.

I get the sense they were going for a quick talker vibe, but it just doesn't fit at all in so many places where they do it.

It makes it feel like you're listening to the VA do a quick read through of each line before they actually record the line...
Because industrial strength blaming isn't going to get us out of this pickle.

We need to be talking about ways to get everyone to cool down and take a time out.

Instead all I see is efforts to blame, cancel, belittle, and disparage lots of people well beyond Trump and the people actually at the Capitol building. I see lots of careless talk that puts 70 million Americans in the category of "not worth listening to -- ever!". How well do you think that is going to work out?

Lots of people seem to think that the unrest is wholly due to the election results, but the political polarization pre-dates Trump by many years.
I have a philsophical defence of this not being censorship: The essence of censorship is to restrict access to information. This is harmful and dangeroues when powerful people use it to hide inconvinient information. Blocking a website is not necessarily censorship. Blocking an online casino, or a place to buy drugs, this is not censorship.

Now where does blocking facebook fall in this distinction. If you block it to hide information, then it is censorship. If you block it because of privacy reasons it is not censorship. This case is not as clear cut as either of those examples, but I would still say the motivation is not to hide information, and so not call it censorship.

But having said that, this is an action by a small isolated ISP. They are completely powerless compared to facebook or twitter. They only thing this amounts to is a symbolic statement of disapproval. It is not surprising that they are now backtracking as if they kept it up, they would have started losing customers.

Finally if ISP's start blocking websites it will quickly turn ugly, and I hope this does not happen.
Oh cool. I didn't actually try it myself, since I read in the docs that it would take a long time. Good to see it's quick. Urbit looks like a really interesting system with great design underpinnings and philosophy.
I said it didn’t make me wonder, not that they aren’t entitled to their opinions.

That isn't a miscommunication. There are two phrases in that sentence with the same intent.
Their (holtalanm) parent comment just got edited from a question to a statement, and now this looks really out of context.
And when you can't because there is systemic bias?
yeah, i've heard that exact excuse repeated all the time on reddit, too.
Who'd of thunk that this would be why we need net neutrality
The challenges don't even start there. The real problem is how to even determine superintelligence. If it's just a system that can do stuff a human can't then we've long since passed it. If it's a system that can achieve stuff humans can't, through whatever means, then it's necessarily beyond human intelligence to build it, at least intentionally.

"Ah screw it, I ain't building social media again, let's just go play outside" wouldn't be a bad outcome, IMHO.
I also don’t have any data, but I feel like these types of tactics don’t account for higher order effects of pushing people to more extreme platforms, and in general seem extremely short sighted.
Sure: people who want more free market want the state to focus on regulation, instead of actually owning everything, competition is the motor of progress. For capitalism to function well it needs constant watch to prevent lobbying, monopolism and corruption in general. It needs bad companies to go bankrupt so the good companies flourish and it needs to ensure companies are focused on maximizing stakeholder profits up to, and not exceeding, their social and ecological obligations. Those social and ecological obligations were decided by the government by the people; whereas if companies start having political opinions they'll want to undermine the will of the people and do a disservice to their raison d'etre.
> FB customers could be bridged into the new federated universe with translators that mirror content from FB into the new ecosystem.

I cannot imagine FB agreeing to such translators voluntarily.
The latency of sound processing in computers is probably less relevant than the latency of sound propagation due to physics.

Speed of sound is ~350m/s. So, whatever you're processing in 1/120th of a second is sound that was only like 10 feet away.
@dang the title should be changed to "Systemd fails to boot on some Ryzen machines". As discussed in the issue itself, there's no apparent problem with RDRAND on Ryzen.
Really only Moscow where the university is, and maybe pockets of CDA. Where-as Boise, Meridian, Twin Falls, and Pocatello are all fairly centrist/left-leaning.
You're way off the mark with your examples. More appropriate ones would be military weapons, multi-level marketing, payday loan firms with ridiculous interest rates, scummy advertisement firms. You might not remember that in the Middle-Ages a large portion of intellectuals were spending most of their time debating religion such as is God really omnipotent and what a specific verse in Bible meant.

Now sure you can argue that they were doing only what the society and themselves considered valuable. But one can only wonder if those smart people had been putting their best effort into other things, say developing agriculture or better industrial processes.

I myself did a little day-trading at one period in my life and while I made money, I thought it was the most useless thing I could spend my life in. I was just creating money out of thin air doing basically nothing. Maybe HFT is intellectually more interesting than day-trading but I don't believe it to be very gratifying at deeper level. Perhaps it requires a certain type of person to enjoy that kind of pursuit. I'm definitely not one of those.
That's not Youtube's fault. They're not stopping anyone from starting and promoting a competing service.

Again, DoJ has done fuck all to break them up, so, why are they considered a monopoly? And why should a private business that isn't a monopoly be forced to host (edit: or link to) anything they don't want to?

Whether I believe this or not, it's a fair argument to use against conservatives here, because that's what they say all the time.
Social distancing is a modern mantra/meme meaning "stay 6 feet apart from others". I wouldn't call it an ancient practice.
You are of course welcome to have an opinion, and to choose whatever product you want based on that opinion. But if the extent of your opinion is "this person is a jerk and their work is terrible and not to my taste" that is unlikely to convince that person to change course, especially if they don't know you and if the decision is already made.
15K seem like low numbers. Well, depends on the weapon technologies they bring I guess. Aerial support should be required.
Freedom of speech has always been about allowing the people you don't like to say things you would prefer they did not.

But society is losing sight of that.
They are inextricably intermingled, unless the "news" is reduced to completely predictable trivialities.

"The sun rose at 06:23 this morning" ... even to be able to agree about such a basic fact we have to agree on a definition of what "rise" means. Upper edge or lower edge of the sun clearing the horizon? Sealevel horizon, or any horizon? For some purposes, it may need to be related to civil, nautical or astronomical twilight.

To report on when the sun rose this morning in a reasonably concise manner, there needs to be some consensus on what sunrise actually means. As long as we all agree that for more or less all purposes it is when the upper edge of the sun appears at a sea-level horizon, you can report this "news" without much surrounding explication.

But if someone comes along and argues that sunrise should really be considered the end of astronomical twilight (rational, if at odds with normal practice), or that sunrise is just a theory of people who want to enslave us all (not rational, but not too far from the level of some what shows up as "argument"), someone who wants to report on the sunrise has their work cut out for them.

And this is just the sunrise! Imagine applying this to reporting about fiscal policy ...

Yeah I think this is a common misconception with columnar stores. That if they like wide tables (they enable wide tables) that must mean the wider the better.

Sorting (or partitioning) is one of the most powerful optimizations in your toolbox. But only when optimized for some kind of access pattern. When you combine domains to get more width you have to make a compromise on the sorting. Then the wheels come off.

You still need different tables for clicks and orders and payments, even if they are very wide. You may or may not physically conform your dimensions in pure Kimball style but logically you (should) still start there.
It actually was my job, I saw exactly what letting things alone did. I know how many ways your ideas are incorrect, because I worked from that same starting point.

If you believe that ideals are going to do the job, please feel free! There's 100s of subs that need mods. Take the time to find the most gnarly politically active sub and apply your ideas. Find the places where people actively deal with propo and indoctrination.

If you can solve what everyone else has failed at, every firm, regulator and moderator under the sun will cheer you on.

Till then, this is what works. Not because I like it, or because it's "paternal" - but because it conforms to how humans actually behave and how content performs online today.

IT is what it is, and we can only improve by knowing reality first.
I think you should hire for that skill.

In practice, I do not think candidates are hired for that skill. I have never been asked about error handling in an interview.
Reminds me of course of the great anecdote attributed to quantum physicist Wolfgang Pauli:

"a friend showed Pauli the paper of a young physicist which he suspected was not of great value but on which he wanted Pauli's views. Pauli remarked sadly, 'It is not even wrong'."
Why not get something like a HP Pro Tablet 608 G1? It is a slim 8" and it has 5g wifi. That is about the size of the libretto 50ct that I used to have, but the user isn't stuck with Win98se2.
Yup, I was kind of amazed at how the situation played out a few years ago with Wheeler and then onto Pai. You don't need the same type of net neutrality laws if you just make them utilities, but ISPs of course know this and made sure that wasn't going to happen then.
A world where American lives aren't considered more valuable and "hate" and "inciting violence" is taken seriously when the victims aren't just American politicians.
This is really great, can be a first step towards making a site for more structured way to debate. Kind of similar to kialo (https://www.kialo.com/the-benefits-of-absolute-free-speech-o...)
You are not responding to my investigation of your issues and just asserting your initial argument again. You have not demonstrated content injection beyond some BAT related tipping feature. All of the controversies you have pointed to are extremely minor and justifiable. I become more convinced as I read your posts you started with your conclusion and are working backwards to evidence.
Supposedly there are a lot of "really smart people" who are behind this censorship push. Certainly they have researchers at these companies who have studied human behavior and know the outcome? Certainly they know that suppressing people has an equal and opposite effect, fomenting further extremism and resistance?

So we're left with 3 potential realities: 1) the tech oligarchs are recklessly ignorant about what they're doing, 2) they're recklessly emotional about the situation and don't care about the fallout, or 3) their decisions are calculated and the push-back from the extremists is desired. All 3 are worrisome.
One thing that bothered me about this documentary were his interviews on Russia Today. He didn't understand the extent to which he was being used by foreign adversaries to push a narrative favorable to them.

That doesn't mean his arguments are wrong, but they're in a quite misleading context.

If you go on RT you should do it like Yascha Mounk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cucX1IO78lM

In hindsight, wikileaks was more an arm of Russian propaganda than Aaron understood.

(Full comment from the other thread, just got buried: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25734526)

(meta: To those downvoting, the irony is if Aaron had lived to see today's political insanity - I suspect he would have regretted those interviews too. He seemed pretty introspective and thoughtful about politics.)
If you insist on trying to identify a handful of tweets that justify this, you're going to be disappointed.

The problem is the totality of his behavior. Watch the first 20 minutes of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6uSYhyFao4
From what I gather, they apparently blocked FB and Twitter because they were getting too many customers asking them to block those sites. It was presumably less time consuming to block them all than to handle all those requests individually. Until it blew up, anyway. Suddenly they are losing business and scrambling to enable it for those that want it, so they backtracked on it.

They could have saved a lot of time and anguish if they had simply said "no" to those who originally wanted them blocked.
It can definitely shut down companies - I used to work at a supermarket that had most of its infra in AWS. If AWS was totally nuked getting systems back up properly would probably have taken months. Even trading would have taken a few days to be fully back.

Even distribution centres operate on the cloud these days.

Cloud migration at any scale isn’t a 24 hour process.

I have wondered many times why we still send the password over the wire (even if in SSL). It should be hashed with a salt every time before being sent! A lot of people reuse their passwords, the user shouldn't trust the website to hash it.
Just because you're a prodigy doesn't make you exempt from the rules that exist. On the scale of injustices, what he did is hardly an offense worthwhile by illegitimate means. He should've just gone about it the way the system is devised. Nobody likes it. But being noble doesn't get you anywhere nowadays.

NPR News is dead center along with the BBC, Reuters, the AP, Christian Science Monitor, etc.: https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-ratings

If you think NPR News has a liberal bias, that may be because reality has a liberal bias.

Plenty of Republican politicians go on NPR for interviews.

NPR opinion and talk radio pieces are slightly left of center.
I could imagine that if you’re a big enough player, they’ll just arrest one of your executives if they ever travel into the EU. Like what happened with Canada and the Huawei CFO.
> We aren’t talking about silencing those that “support storming of the capital”.

Yes, as I said we are talking about a much smaller group than even that. Nor are we actually talking about silencing them, we're talking about certain forums not serving as megaphones for them.

> We are talking about silencing an entire party of people.

No, we aren’t. I mean, not with any connection to reality, we aren’t.

> Donald Trump received approximately 46.8% of the popular vote.

Yes, but no major platform is adopting a rule that would cutoff access to people who voted for Donald Trump, so that’s not relevant.

> Is that not slightly less than half of the voting public?

Yes, but no one is talking about silencing people based on membership in that group.

> You’re talking about silencing slightly less than 1/2 of the the people who care about this stuff.

No, literally no one is talking about doing that.

This is absolutely the kind of thing that should not be a red line for when you get banned off the internet. LGBT is still something people are going to debate for thousands of years. It's silly and shortsighted to think that people who are accepting of every strange idea to come out of LGBT (multiple genders, opting out of genders, etc.) are right and everyone who questions these concepts are wrong.
The economy beat the optimism out of me. My sense of certainty these days is based only on my skepticism of alternative explanations (which I learned were incorrect, the hard way).
I am a conservative who doesn't think it was stolen. But I have to point out the double standard. For ~3 years democrats claimed trump only won 2016 because Putin helped him. And they claimed for months that Stacy Ambrams was the actual winner of the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race. Now Republicans are the devil for not accepting this election?
With "rules," people are just sheep grazing under the vigilant watch of surveillance capitalism.

Decentralization + filters which are either trained by machine learning or appointed by the community that the forum serves (rather than the stockholders that the platform enriches) is what needs to replace Facebook, Parler, etc.
They were minutes from the Senate floor while Senators were still there.
Surely, this is sarcasm? If not, then I guess as a society we're starting to be okay with just outright silencing people.
Can you tell me how they're being silenced? Supporting Donald Trump is not the same as inciting violence against the state, so it should be clear to you that punitive reactions against those who aimed to incite violence against the state can only be taken as an action against supporters of Donald Trump if you think supporting Donald Trump is the same as supporting violence against the state.
I want something a bit more extensive than this. I want something plug-and -play and portable where I can unplug my data in seconds and plug it back in when I want/need to.

Well, neither does the US. Doesn’t stop either from trying.
Interesting point. Could we see part of the contrast as the extremely low friction involved in the equivalent of "reblogging"?

On a blog, there is always the possibility that a post would "go viral", but the odds of that happening (and the potential reach) seem dramatically lower than for something like Twitter and Facebook. Maybe, to borrow a possible-not-quite-applicable concept we've been hearing about from epidemiology, the R₀ for popular posts on blogs is intrinsically going to be much lower than that for popular posts on these kinds of social media?

After all, Twitter and Facebook (eventually) added a standardized means for reposting something without changing it, typically with a very rapid and easy user interface flow. There's probably never been anything as quick, easy, or standardized for reblogging, including because reblogging always has potential to remove or change the format, context, and content of what gets reblogged (and in the case of reblogging as a link, to require blog readers to follow the link in order to see the content, which could also be seen as reducing the blog's R₀-equivalent, since fewer people will follow a link than would read something in a feed that gets pre-rendered for them).
