Man nothing against your dedication of explaining this to me, but everytime I talk about haskell it feels like a jargon salad. I very, very humbly ask you, so what? Like you wrote a short essay on this, and I still can't grok even in the slightest why this matters. Every other language I talk about, can at least tell me why certain feature is helpful, even if I don't get it. What I got from this is this allows abstracting mapping over types. But what does that give you?

Think about it this way. If the primary importance of something is only apparent from the big picture how is a user supposed to decide whether to use it or not? The big picture is rarely available to most programmers.
> But when it comes to ending the world, I think all officers, without exception, will realize the order to nuke a random target is not lawful, and will refuse to obey.

I write software for a HPC centre and we noticed this as well. The speed of our programs heavily using memory maps can vary by an order of magnitude based upon the memory pressure on the node.

This non-determinism in runtime is a show stopper for us so we ripped out most memory maps from our codebase. There is just too much magic happening under the hood to have control over your program.
Ask HN: Why does Cloudflare is providing service to thedonald.win and gab.com?
Huh, never associated that with Slavic culture. Cool word, "zakalka". In Polish there is "hartowanie" (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hartowa%C4%87), same meaning and also used in the context of exposing yourself to cold or difficulty. Related and a bit funny: people who swim in the winter are called "morsy" (walruses).
She technically is. The marriage contract is a 50/50 split and such a share gives one the "founder" title. The actual contributions, circumstances and everything else doesn't matter. Bezos was a VP (at another firm) at the time they married and read the contract before he signed it.
The lawyers refused to lie in court, because their "evidence" was just the lies and empty allegations, which would be a crime to present in court. So they were summarily dismissed, by Trump appointed judges no less.
If America tried to invade China using conventional weapons, then I believe China wouldn't rule out responding with nukes. But yeah, I doubt they would use nukes in a small stakes dispute.
i don't think it's an accident that out of all the books about dystopia, only the ones where the hero fails to resist or even symbiate with "the system" are taught. it's kind of like the cops tv show, they don't show any episodes where the perp gets away.

there is plenty of fiction out there that takes another route, from bringing down the system, to the system collapsing upon itself, to finding a symbiotic way to co-exist with it while maintaining the self, to many other approaches.
Mexico president slams social media censorship
We really need to slow down and examine our premises more carefully.

1. Gatekeepers (in this case, any media labeled "mainstream" and any popular social media corporation) exist to spread disinformation.

2. These gatekeepers are part of the government (or governance structure); they operate on the direction of the government.

3. They will not give you "good information." Any of them.

All of this to argue that President Donald Trump, perhaps arguably the most powerful man when acting President is speaking the truth about widespread election fraud, which - in 2016 would make him look better, as he claimed he won the popular vote, and in 2020 would preserve his position of power and influence over you.

To accept that lie, you need to believe that the vast majority of news outlets and social media corporations are all secretly conspiring, planning, communicating and executing alongside election officials, bipartisan judges, etc. and all at the behest of a "deep state" shadow government, but the only people that are willing to "admit" this exists are people that are Trump's biggest fans.
Can an adversary launch a a first attack, given the latency this introduces? can an adversary await for a solar flare to disturb comms to launch?
Trump had a 47% approval rating on the 6th and a 49% approval rating on the 7th.

Nobody is asking for special treatment, they're asking that he and the 50% of Americans that voted for him get the same uncensored ability to share their views as the other 50 who commonly emote the extreme views in the other direction with thout such censorship.
I think you're right. Getting access to this info would always be possible through other, more in-depth sources. I see this comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25705945, which is a good one and pre-internet was the only way these types of things would "trend" in the past (at least beyond some tiny fraction of the population).
US subs are often incommunicado for extended periods of time. If they receive an EAM ordering them to suface and launch immediately, guess what happens.
Well, the government doesn't have any say in Twitter trends, so it's hard to argue this is what an "authoritarian state" does. It's a private company that would prefer its product isn't used in the murder of a politician.

I don't have an answer, and I don't think there is one. I do, however, wish there was more scrutiny of the people spreading the message (aka the president of the united states) than companies trying to navigate this really tough balance.

Seattle protesters only wanted to assemble peacefully at the police station. The autonomous zone formed after the police abandoned the station and the area. People inside worked with other city departments up until the end. They even renamed the area because so many people didn't understand what autonomous meant.
Eh. I honestly do not think I am, but let me do a quick DDG to not rely on memory alone:

Portland 01/02/21 - reports of molotov cocktails, fireworks, fires - I don't know about you, but use of explosive materials does tend to sound violent. You don't really come with a firebomb with no intent to use it.

Seatle 07/27/20 - reports of fires, 59 injured officers

Kenosha 08/25/20 - riots, destruction of property including fires including courthouse, incitement for more violence

I don't think I have to mention Chicago or NY..

And this is just a cursory check.

In BLM defense, they initially suffered from the same issues anonymous did. Literally anyone could be their spokesporson so right wing media got lovely quotes about purpose and goals of BLM such as ( some of those come from their official website ):

-Destruction comes before rebuilding, that’s what we talking about here
-“Yes, I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down,” the activist posted via Twitter on Monday. “They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been.”“Tear them down.”
-We believe and understand that Black people will never achieve liberation under the current global racialized capitalist system.
-‘we will burn down this system’
-'MacCallum asked Newsome what Black Lives Matter hoped to achieve through violence." “Wow, it’s interesting that you would pose that question like that,” Newsome responded, “because this country is built upon violence. What was the American Revolution? What’s our diplomacy across the globe?”

Now you will note that their website is cleaned up and no longer contains notes about - forgot what terminology they used - abandoning existing familial structures and building new utopian world. It is a shame they took it down. It could open some eyes. I guess someone told them they need rebranding.

So maybe you are right. They are different after all. BLM is worse that Trump crazies. At least Capitol assholes will be picked up by various agencies and prosecuted. BLM members may have been arrested, but various Dem operatives ensured they are out as soon as possible. Hell, some were raising money for bails.

In other words, I do not think you have a clear picture of BLM, who they are, or even what they were doing.

So I this my comparison is valid.
I've been working on https://dedolist.com/ on and off since summer. I wanted a one stop place to find and be able to use open data from around the web. I even have an open API (no authentication required currently) for each data source. I have basically done no marketing at all for it. Mostly just wanted an excuse to play with some new technologies (Netlify and Eleventy in this case).

Not sure how much I want to continue adding data sources or supporting it, but it doesn't really cost me much keeping it online currently.
> That's being overly reductive

No it isn't. It is literally the definition that is on wikipedia. That is a very good authority on definitions for things.

> At that point "censorship" is diluted to have no meaning beyond curation.

Sure it does. The meaning is quite clear in the article, which is a relevant authority on the issue.

Private companies can censor people. That is the definition, and the relevant authorities on the matter agree that it is.

Most definitions that you find with agree with me that private companies can censor people. This is not controversial, and most definitions agree with me.
That’s no longer the case. Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi were called out specifically on Parler posts.

Then again I would also say you’re correct as the people engaging with that violent and vitriolic content probably don’t consider them actual humans.
Seems the great social media purge towards GOP personals really made many countries rethinking their information sovereignty.

There's no way they would allow access to social media, the 21st century mass communication be controlled by some Silicon Valley companies located in the USA.

Expect the indigenization also occurs in financial ecosystem, etc.
Big Tech platforms allowed pretty much everything until last week which crossed the line. Facebook's most viewed pages were all conservative and sometimes insanely violent discussions which I think should have been banned a long ago. The US Capitol attack was staged on Big Tech forums. Did you miss the part where 4 years of Trump on Twitter happened?

Your opinion seems to be formed just recently, but you're making profound statements that ignore 99.99% of history. I am sorry, but this is an absurd and misplaced knee-jerk reaction and pooling it in to "Silicon Valley" culture. Silicon Valley culture dates back 50 years or more.

Consider reading the IDSA (Infectious Disease Society of America) guidelines. They get updated fairly regularly and are composed of the boots on the ground infectious disease specialist physicians who are trying to help people.

Unfortunately, HCQ became politicized which added a bunch of noise. There are a lot of people who are invested in being right for various reasons rather than trying to find the truth, and many of these websites are biased.

For what it's worth, I am a physician who prescribed HCQ to patients in March (with appropriate informed consent from pts/families) when he had no other idea of treatment options based on the original study which purported to show decreased viral load. It became obvious that it didn't matter whether patients got it or not in my experience (some got better and some died whether or not they got it), numerous studies then confirmed this. Most if not all hospitals were trying it with the first wave back in Jan-March and then we stopped using it when data came out that it didn't change anything. Then, things got crazy because it became promoted by certain politicians (this happened when any physician with experience had already realized it was a placebo) AND then there was a big scandal where a paper was published showing increased mortality that based on falsified data and later retracted.
Why would an adversary need to nuke us when it has been demonstrated that one merely walks into buildings in Washington armed with sticks?
A really dangerous precedent if bring set here
The trouble is that our gatekeepers inevitably go beyond being neutral arbiters of truth and allow their personal biases to color their analysis. And they might even believe that they're doing the right thing by guiding society in the "correct" direction. But audience members with opposing views pick up on those inconsistencies and then disbelieve everything the gatekeepers say, even the unbiased truthful stuff.

The U.K. recently dropped tariffs from half of it's sugar imports as part of its post brexit, more outward looking trading policy: http://reut.rs/3s7MBYZ
The countries that export sugar to the UK (including E.U. ones) use neonicotinoids, so I guess this emergency measure is to soften the blow to UK farmers, and give them some breathing space while they transition to other crops. It makes sense for the UK to import sugar rather than produce it locally since extracting sugar from beet is far less efficient than extracting it from cane.
Facial Recognition Tech is obviously good if used by competent people:

Narrows the number of haystacks to search for needle => Reduced resources required for successful search => More crimes prosecuted.

Problem occurs when:

* Users of FRT assume all in haystack are needles

* Crimes on book must not be universally prosecuted

The first part can't be helped. US Police, like most US government jobs, is a rest-and-take-it-easy job. In aggregate, unexceptional people doing an unexceptional job. The second part is because people want other people prosecuted but not themselves.

I'm in second category myself. For instance, I am quite capable of using all sorts of drugs and maintaining a productive life. Other people are not. So it's important to prosecute other people and not to prosecute me.

Therefore, for these two reasons, I don't want FRT to be used universally. I want to preserve inequitable outcomes in policing because society is stronger with inequitable outcomes - permits good life for high percentile individuals and constrains operations for low percentile individuals. Demarcating crime from uncrime is Sorites paradox.

The book however does no such thing. You gotta know before hand the Stalinist thing, the book itself does not actually describe how Stalin worked. Both Asimov and Orwell guessed in that matter, even if we assume Asimov have point.

Also, actual Stalin system was remarkably stable.

Finally, the system was that most of the time they don't watch. Only sometimes. Which would describe tech of 2021 quite accurately. It is 40 years later and pretty much that is what we got.
This is great insight. Do you know what role political appointees play in the decision tree? e.g. NSC, Esper, the Republican theory of unitary executive

Yes!

I'm not familiar with the situation.

Can we have a due process like our justice system to assign blame?

Should I just take your word (and the word of trump opposition)?

Also, isn't it weird that, you claim, he is the leader of the riot into Capitol, and the punishment is being banned from social media??

Should this be like jailed for life or something?
I applaud the US for its stance towards China. We Europeans are mostly cowards.
Your argument seems to depend on the idea that centralized services are inherently more popular than decentralized services, which isn’t necessarily true.

To say that it’s “much easier” to ban hundreds of IP addresses instead of a dozen IP addresses is ridiculous. It’s no easier to get IP addresses in a distributed system than it is to get them in a centralized system.

GMail is a funny example to point to, because email is arguably the most used digital communication method and it’s also decentralized. Try to fully shut down email in the US — where are you going to find a list of all ip addresses hosting SMTP and IMAP servers, and is that going to be easier than just blocking Twitter?
This kind of mentorship has been something I've been sorely lacking in my career so far.

I wonder how common it really is to have a manager who can/will mentor like this.

Most of mine have seemed to mostly just take meetings and write/assign JIRA tickets.

Any evidence at all that this was a thing?
I don’t see a reason why they couldn’t get a model 3 down to $25K by 2025 it might be a bit hard but if they actually start to manufacture cars like a proper car manufacturer and they won’t require so much manual labor and complex welds and improve the economy of scales on their batteries it might be quite possible to hit that target especially if you consider that the price of the self driving hardware could considerably drop too especially if they move towards custom silicon.

Did you even read the article? The reason the Ugandan government is blocking these apps is with the intent, as the article suggests, of stopping misinformation through "citizen journalism", not because the nation of Uganda suddenly had fears of Google or Apple moderating their nation's discourse.

Furthermore, the article goes on to say that this kind of block has occurred before in 2016.

Yeah, fine. The tool is broken. Right.

But YOU have still an issue.

The Point is: There a lot of broken tools out there, and you can't know which of them will be used in the future. Just avoid a lot of headaches for your future self and your colleges by not testing out the spec-compliance of all those tools you'll probably use at some point.
While technically true, I feel that the argument here is that it's hard to buy a phone that doesn't needlessly track everything you do. When you buy a Chinese smartphone, all you're doing is replacing Google/Apple with a Chinese company that still does all that.
It seems you spend a lot of time watching sensational news media and not a lot of time looking at actual data (don’t feel bad, it’s a trap I’ve fallen into before).

This is a watershed election for Uganda. In some small hyperbole Uganda could become the next Rwanda or the next Sudan, depending on whether or not the incumbent is unseated.

I would focus on the regional peoples' politics rather than the technocracy or American politics.

I firmly believe your thrust is irrelevant to the core issue, if not solely for the immediacy of a democratic threat.

I'm not an expert on this, but my family and I have been following this revolution for the past few months. To me, it's a promise to the people that things can get better.
> left leaning calls to violence get banned on social media all the time

Yes they do, but a lot less that right leaning calls do, because social media companies lean leftwards.

For example, Parler was recently kicked off of Google App store, and Apple and Amazon have also threatened to kick Parler off their app store and hosting platform. This was because Parler leans right and some messages by some users encouraged violence.

None of these companies would ever do the same to a mainstream (i.e. left leaning, because social media censors the right more than the left) social media platform because of left wing violent talk/threats.

It's blatantly obvious that big tech is biased to the left. (I say this as someone who is fairly left-leaning, FWIW).
Surely better than Regressive, no?

People trust the military precisely because in the last several decades it has been studiously apolitical. This is a fragile state of affairs, and unusual by historical and international standards.
>But audience members with opposing views pick up on those inconsistencies and then disbelieve everything the gatekeepers say, even the unbiased truthful stuff.

That's not the fault of the "gatekeepers," nor should it be their problem. Disbelieving everything a source claims because you find "inconsistencies" and "bias" when no human being is ever perfectly consistent or unbiased in their views is an irrational and infantile way of thinking.
