I will say this it's a good sing, that twitter did the right call.

I'm from Mexico, and the current president it's the definition of a demagogue. All word days, he spends 2 hours of his time in a press conference to his achievements and attacking opponents (not only other politicians, but the press that speaks about scandals of his party).

Despite presenting himself as a "leftist", AMLO it's closer to Trump or Bolsonaro, that to Trudeau or Jacinda Ardern. To them freedom of speech, it's "talking without facing the consequences of their words".

What happens if someone already has the app installed?

Is it removed from their device?

If not will it still be able to receive updates?
Glad I downloaded it yesterday since this was obviously an unrealistic deadline. It’s getting harder and harder to keep tabs on both sides now. Things have really fragmented in the past 24 hours: lots of posts on MeWe, Telegram, Gab, etc, looking for the “best” communication channel.
Sure it was a fair expectation, because that expectation was known before Parler even started up coding any apps. That's always been the rule. No hate speech, no illegal content, no direct threats of violence. Hardly an unfair expecation for Parler to meet those guidelines - the 24h notice seems to just be a kind gesture that wasn't really even necessary from Apple's part.
Yeah, I'm scared of Chinese military strategy, especially social engineering and psyops, but I still see enough sloppy military execution that I remain confident in overall US superiority.

Look at how much trouble they've had building and attempting to operate an aircraft carrier. I think they finally figured out how to manufacture bearings for ballpoint pens in the last couple years. For both of these things, it's basically assumed that they stole US plans/technology/IP years/decades ago, yet still struggled/struggle to actually execute.

What's the best example of a successful, overt, non-domestic Chinese military operation, since deciding to go the totalitarian capitalism route?

Although now I'm also asking myself the same re: the US, and have sudden doubts.

As a bit of a tangent:
I don't buy most of the current China conspiracy theories, but I struggle to think of what a non-traditional attack by China would look like that might be more effective than our current reality.

If nothing else, we've just supplied blueprints on how to successfully wage a future covert/non-traditional first-strike offensive.

Trump sucks up to people when he thinks it might do him some good. He ignored Khashoggi's killing to keep a good relationship with MBS, he said he "fell in love" with Kim Jong-un to try to get him to stop testing nuclear missiles, and he shut up about Taiwan and Hong Kong and Xinjiang because he wanted a better trade deal. (Shutting up about them might have been an unofficial part of the dealmaking -- threats behind closed doors.)

Some of it was clearly amateurish. Trump is a shallow man, and assumes others are as susceptible to flattery as he is. He didn't get far with Putin or Kim, but he actually didn't give away much -- US policy towards them is tougher now than it was four years ago. And the stuff with Saudi Arabia has worked out very well, though it does make my stomach turn a bit.

Now, though, the Trump administration is in the "nothing to lose by doing what we want, and nothing to gain by doing things we'd rather not". So they can piss off Xi, and do something nice for Taiwan.

No. There’s a role for moderation, in removing comments which are off-topic or illegal.

My issue is with “moderation” where you just remove content you disagree with politically.

Until their hosting decides to block them, or my ISP, or several AS’s in the middle decide to block them and there’s no route to them.

The answers, respectively, would be: start your own hosting provider, start your own ISP, deploy your own Internet.

Just to be clear: I’ve never used Parler.
Is there someone closer to the decision making process who could explain this sequence of events? From afar it looks as if all the tech companies coordinated this action, Apple delaying it by a day for optic reasons. I am not as troubled by the decision as some people, but the timing merits examination.
Thanks for the reply. A part of me believes it would be worth going through med school just to get to "save" one life. I just don't get that gratitude feeling as a developer. I mean sure, you can work on software that could be used by millions of people, software _does_ change and affect the world, but it does not really compare to medicine. A git commit can be immensely important but there's something about medicine that makes it very appealing. On the other hand, computers do as they're told and rarely complain, stink, whine ;)

I am strongly attracted but I feel maybe it's mostly illusory.
> The CRD schema is global but versioned, so it's annoying-but-manageable with multiple tenants.

It means every controller for a CRD winds up installing another webhook. And having to test a variety of orderings. It's hard to get right.

> Controllers can be scoped to a namespace without requiring cluster-level permissions, no?

The difficulty is that Kubernetes RBAC is good at expressing rules "Role 'foo' can perform operation 'list' on kind 'Deployment'". But it's less capable of saying something like "Role 'foo' can perform operation 'list' on kind 'Deployment' which were created from kind 'CoolerDeployment'". It's also hard to delegate something, along the lines of "Role 'foo' can delegate ('create' over kind 'Deployment') within namespace 'bar'".

I think dissatisfaction with PodSecurityPolicy will cause Rego to worm its way into the core architecture over the coming years. It'll then eventually crowd out RBAC because you can impose (sort of, more or less) arbitrary rules. But none will dare call it ABAC.
Hot war with nukes is always an option, just ask Gandhi. Seriously, MAD doesn’t work unless people really are nuts enough to destroy the world for ideals and friendship.
Modern weapons make a successful amphibious invasion much easier. If the invading party can assert total air superiority, then the only bottleneck left is actually crossing the sea, which is not that big of an issue as long as the distance is low.

The waters of the strait are also shallow enough that submarines are not that effective.

Basically, it is certainly possible to pull of such an amphibious assault, and the US Navy's simulations recognize as much.

I'm on Hugo now, and have used both self-hosted and .com (free) versions of Wordpress. Which of the 3 do you think I wrote the most when I was in it?

Yeah, free wordpress is limited, if not open-source, blah-blah-blah. But it's a few clicks to create, easy to write the posts/have drafts/change theme. And I would argue that having limited themes on free can actually be a positive thing. You have a few options, chose something and start writing.

Having to write in any other editor (to have grammar checking), then paste on VS Code, deploy... it just takes more time. And this is without managing any media, which I just upload to imgur and use the link...

You seem to believe you’ve found some absolute truths: “everything is political“, “disagreement implies privilege“. These systems of logic absolve you of: seeing the gradients of truth, making real efforts in understanding a situation, asking questions, and making up your own mind.
I've picked up good ideas for bodyweight exercises from Redefining Strength:

https://www.youtube.com/c/RedefiningStrengthCostaMesa/videos

I also like Animal Flow, which I've been doing for nearly ten years:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2a4LrHunsI

Some people seem to motivate themselves to continue exercising by having a formal, day-by-day routine, and many online sources try to meet that need by offering programs with specific sequences and numbers of exercises. In my case, I found that I prefer trying out various exercises and then using what works for me. Fortunately, there are a lot of good ideas available online to choose from.

Americans drop a loser like a brick. Taking Parler off the app stores seriously de-legitimizes their cause and their celebrity. If you read Apple's language [1] its very clear Apple believes Parler is operating in extremely bad faith, that they either lack the ability to moderate or are only doing so as a temporary token gesture. This means Parler's user demographic will become more and more full of fringe radical elements that scare off the silent majority less radical crowd.

Haven't recent times shown that allowing a bubble of disagreeables to congregate doesn't look like the best idea?
From my understanding of the reasoning behind deplatforming I think there comes a point where it isn’t worth chasing any more.

The aim isn’t to remove the sites entirely, but to make it difficult enough to find that people won’t just stumble across them or seamlessly follow a link to them.

Last I heard Stormfront still exists on Tor and presumably still serves a dedicated audience. But I imagine it has a considerably larger problem attracting new readers than it used to.
An impossible deadline in other contexts can of course be designed to be impossible for petty reasons, but when the object in question is a runaway train, you can't really wait to pull the plug. You can only give them as long as possible, and must prioritize safety.

Regardless of your political persuasion, you should be concerned about this.

Massive multinational corporations having this much power over our speech is not healthy.

It’s about degrees. Brexit has a cost, internet balkanization has a cost, the more you isolate your country the more you pay. At some point the costs are too high, and can only be supported by the most authoritarian regimes.

Im originaly from EU (immigrated here when I was a kid) and currently work for FAANG, so I have a lot of extended family in Poland/Russia.

To put all of EU into one basket in terms of this is not really accurate. For example, in Russia/Poland and likely other Slavic countries where people saw a much better life when capitalistic principles were adopted, there is definitely a prestige associated with working at a big famous company and earning big bucks. Ironically, there is very much aura of "earn good salary, then spend it on BMW/Merc/Audi and a big house to impress your friends and family" with people from that background, which seems significantly less applicable to native US employees within the company.

Meanwhile, in places like Switzerland/Germany/France, while my exposure to those people is limited (friends of family in Poland/Russia), it seems that people care more about the quality of life than high salary. In those regions, high salaries have traditionally been very hard to get (you need connections almost more than talent), so most people don't see this within reach, and as a result value things like good work life balance, ability to have a family, vacation, and other common things.
> It was never a fair expectation that Parler would be able to scale up moderation in 24 hours.

Apple asked for a plan, not for an implementation.

From Apple's letter:

> In addition [to removing the death threat examples in the letter], you must respond to this message with detailed information about how you intend to moderate and filter this content from your app, and what you will do to improve moderation and content filtering your service for this kind of objectionable content going forward.

This is a meme, I fail to understand why it's HN worthy
No, I actually mean what I wrote: Not everything that counts can be counted. Take the happiness produced by a piece of software. Can we put a number on it?

Contrast Lord Kelvin: “When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it, when you cannot express it in
numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarely, in your thoughts advanced to the
stage of science.”

And also this doozy writ large in our lives: “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.”
Well I can’t say I’m mad about this. It’s not a clear unilateral win however as this is likely to make the PRC much more defensive and irritated about the ROC than it already was, and I’m not sure that America has the naval presence in the South China Sea to create a real deterrent to mainland aggression.

Hard to say this is bad; hard to say this is good either. It’s different. Ball will be in the Biden administration court. At least it was spiked before hand.
The only actual alternative is if people start investing in open cellular platforms.

I fully support the right of companies to sell locked down hardware, we shouldn't be trying to over-regulate here. The right response to this situation is to compete with it using open hardware, which respects its users. It's insane to me that we have all tolerated companies dictating what kind of software we run on the hardware we buy from them.

It's time to fight back. Open Mobile Hardware now!
I’m sorry you feel my comment is callus but that callousness is not mine or my comment’s but that of the society we live.

What “ought to happen” and what “is happening” are very different things.

My previous comment describes what “is happening”: Companies are trying to make money and are making decisions about how to maximize profit. This is the society we have collectively built!

Meanwhile, as a student of Hume I cannot hope to describe what “ought to happen”. I can only speculate that (as I said previously) we need more regulation to ensure everyone is treated “fairly” (whatever ought that might imply).

> It's not a personal judgment for what is a lawful order.

As someone who's refused to follow an order because I believed it wasn't lawful, I disagree with you.

The UCMJ provides good general guidance over what constitutes a lawful order, but like any legal document, it doesn't cover specifics or edge cases that crop up. This puts military personnel in hairy areas where they have to know what the UCMJ states on the subject of the order, and make a decision whether or not an order is lawful.

I know you followed up with "It's only a personal judgment whether you follow an order. Soldiers aren't the legal arbiters.", but what your statement comes down to is that the person following the order needs to decide on the spot whether it's lawful or not, and sometimes may have to argue their decision in a Military Court. This makes them de facto legal arbiters.
This is not the US "normalization" of relations with Taiwan. It's a bureaucratic shuffle within the US.
AVIF is a format that puts an AV1 bitstream into a HEIF container. You're thinking about what AOM said about AV1 [6], not AVIF; they should not (and in fact do not) make that claim for AVIF -- which builds on HEIF that isn't their work -- though you ought to judge the situation for yourself [7].

I am not a lawyer, and I realize there's a fine line between genuine concern and spreading FUD, but in the spring of 2019 I looked into the patent situation around the HEIF container itself [1] -- the container upon which AVIF builds -- and skimmed through the 5 US patents I found, which cover some techniques that can be used in the format.
Most of them can probably be avoided for the purposes of an AVIF file, but patent US20160232939A1 [2] in my reading seems to be about in-container signalling to express relationships between a "static media item" and "one or more entities" that together "form a group", and "indicating, in the file, a grouping type for the group". The patent appears to be written in a way to allow this definition to encompass, say, a thumbnail and a bunch of frames thereafter, or, say a master image and a set of pictures derived from it, or alternate camera angles of the same thing. Some of these techniques sound like stuff we've seen before, but as is common in patents, the precise wording of claims is often key, and this is where patent lawyers come in.

A thorough look of the AVIF specification [3] and the patents registered with the MPEG LA about this format [1] is likely wise before any widespread deployment that makes use of advanced features of the HEIF container; using it to hold exactly 1 'one-layer' still-image is probably fine.

Additionally, in my reading [5], the HEIF reference software released by Nokia [4] includes a patent grant for non-commercial evaluation, testing and academic research only.

"Do mostly cardio, but also some weights."

Disagree. I'd recommend the opposite, do mostly weights and some cardio. You don't need to buy equipment, barbells etc., bodyweight exercises is weight/strength training.

However, both should be done! Cardio is good for your heart. But it's easy and healthy enough to maintain a good aerobic fitness just once a week. Weight training keeps you burning calories and I think strength is more practical/useful in our day to day lives, thus having a greater impact on your psyche.

Bottomline, something is better than nothing. And if you love running... go for it.
