It is good, but not good enough for the mainstream user. With Signal, you can just install it and all your contacts who also have signal are instantly there. The UX is similar to WhatsApp.

With Element, you first need to create a username that in the format <username>:<server>. This is a new notion and non-tech users don't know what this is about. I usually need to explain "it's like email, but instead of the @ there's the :".

Furthermore, there is this new concept of "Rooms" that people are not used to.

Also, there are some UX flaws like that you need to include the @ when adding use (it won't find the user if I try to add "joe:matrix.org", I need to enter @joe:matrix.org). This even threw me off for a minute or so in the beginning.

There are some clients that look and feel more like WhatsApp (like Nio), but they are still in early development. So, I'm hopeful.

In India, we have the concept of 'bandhs' or 'lockdowns' for a day or more to highlight certain issues.

We see the same for both BLM protests as well as the Capitol Hill protest.

> But I’d say all northern hemisphere countries should do their best to focus on local elimination in summer 2021.

This isn’t realistic. Fatigue with COVID restrictions has already set in across Europe: people are wearing masks in sloppy ways (not covering the nose, or even just putting the mask over their chin) and returning to socializing or even leisure travel. The authorities know this, and while they can do things like keep restaurants and theatres closed, they appear to feel little democratic mandate for using the police to enforce strict social separation between individuals. And that is in the winter: once the warm weather comes back, expect even more flaunting of restrictions.
There’s no law banning the “stockpiling” of weapons in any locale of the United States or at the federal level. You can own hundreds of rifles, shotguns, and handguns even in places like NYC as long as you purchase/possess/register the guns in accordance with all local laws.
The problem with leaving it to the courts is, people who own small niche forums can't afford to fight legal battles.

This will leave an internet for those who can (i.e the big players).

why? Because the history books and graveyards (marked and unmarked) are full of examples of hundreds of millions of unarmed powerless peoples being marched off to their deaths by power-hungry dictators and their supporters. The authors of the American political system were exceedingly well educated and understood that a new American constitutional republic experiment where the people held the power would revert to a dictatorship unless the people themselves had some mechanism to retain authority. In addition to the checks and balances in the government, a large part of that authority is established (and guaranteed) through the availability of militarily-useful firearms as a last resort.
Does the airline have a two-person rule for the flight-deck and/or lockable doors though?

What concerns me about the cockpit lockable doors is how obviously it would lead to tragedy (e.g. Germanwings) - I’d have hoped that the locks would open if unusual aircraft attitude changes were detected - because what’s the point of keeping the cockpit door locked if the aircraft is already erratic? Chances are something weird is going on in the flight deck and it’s in the pax’ best-interests if the cabin-crew can get in.

Head of WhatsApp in Facebook, on recent privacy policy updates
They didn’t call it an attempted coup, because it wasn’t. The definition of coup is not “attack on the government”; it’s an attempt to take over the government by force. There is no plausible path to take over the government by seizing a courthouse. Even if they’d successfully held it, they would have no real power over any territory outside the building. Disruptive, yes, but not a power grab.

Arguably some of the stuff happening with the autonomous zone wasn’t a coup attempt, it was an attempt at secession. A stupid and doomed attempt, I’ll agree, but a different thing altogether.

There is a plausible path from taking over Congress while they’re certifying the electoral college and declaring the next president and power. I’ll admit that it’s not a likely outcome, but it’s plausible. It wouldn’t be the first time a government has been toppled by a mob taking over the legislature, ask France. If they’d succeeded they would have re-installed Trump contrary to the will of the voters, the rule of law, and the constitution. Hence, coup attempt.
> Today its primary effect is to give an impenetrable legal shield to giant tech corporations that engage in deliberate society-wide manipulation of information.

I work at a small (compared to Google and Facebook) classifieds site. I don't think we could exist without section 230, because it would have been too expensive to start without immunity for what our users posted. So, it still does it's initial purpose.

I would also like to start a social network for my local community, but I can't afford the legal liability of what my neighbors might say on the platform I built. If 230 goes away, maybe I'll never be able to build that community. And don't forget, FB started at a single college.

I'm also sure that the initial individuals posting things are exactly the correct individuals to be liable for the things they post.
Would'nt the opposite be true as well? If so, where do we start?

Scihub can host their own mastodon instance which means they have power of moderation, Twitter cannot impose whatever rules they want to.

Being federated means posts on Scihub can be seen on other mastodon instances. This allows Scihub to allow a select few users to join their instance without limiting visibility of their content as it can still be seen and interacted with through another mastodon instance.

This is the very sort of thing that led to the creation of common carrier status, with the tradeoffs involved. It seems to me to be the solution with ISPs and net neutrality, and there probably should be something similar with sites like Twitter (which is probably the point of Section 230).

I personally feel like moderation has gone way too far with social media, even though I'm far from politically conservative and definitely not a supporter of Trump. I think sites should lose some protected status if they start moderating excessively, as an incentive to moderate even less. Conversely, I think they should be granted a degree of immunity if they do.

If we care at all about our future and the generations to come, we must oppose China at all costs.

They extinguish dissent. Not just locally, but abroad. They censor our domestic companies that want a foothold in their market (Disney, Blizzard, the NBA, Apple).

We need to stop taking their money, and we need to move manufacturing to Vietnam, India, Mexico, and Africa. Strategic manufacturing (medical and tech) needs to be re-onshored.

They're flexing their muscles because they know they will be on top. If we continue the status quo, it's only a matter of time.

We will wind up just like them if we continue to let this cancer grow.

It will be incredibly painful, but we need to stop importing. Now.

We can play hard. Militarize Japan. Strengthen our partnership with Vietnam. Offer US statehood to Taiwan and build a base there. Dispute the South China Sea takeover, start building oil rigs, and police the area.

You're right to be suspicious. The studies that this figure are drawn from are generally twin studies based in wealthy Western nations. Heritability tends to increase with wealth, economic equality, and ethnic homogeneity, all of which are unfortunately selected for in the formation of these trials. This paradigm is thought to be a gold standard, as it reduces independent variables, but it fails to capture the effects of intergroup environmental disparities in a profound way.

The range of SAT scores at a US prep academy populated with the progeny of relatively closely related families will be substantially determined by heritable differences between individuals. Outside of that, it's disingenuous and irresponsible to throw out that 80% figure as a general measure of intelligence heritability. In fact, not even the studies say that: 80% is the measure for middle-aged and senior adults. For everyone else, even their measures are substantially lower.
See the article, where they 1/2 just happened with a plea bargain not to appeal so the issue would stay unaddressed.

I don't mind judges doing this, but I do mind legislatures not fixing the problem once it's discovered.

Aircraft are designed to not enter those “certain conditions” by default - I understand the PF needs to override the flight-control-law to intentionally crash the plane, but I don’t think there’s a two-person-rule before that can happen.

Anyway - this is why I’m glad I’m not involved in safety-engineering because supposing that setting sensible defaults that reduce accidents in 99.999% of cases would lead to horrible terrifying deaths in 0.001% of cases (e.g. one-way lockable reinforced cockpit doors) would be too much on my mind.
Progress is not a straight line, and many things can get better or worse for different subsets of people. This is a generalization that does more harm than good as it minimizes the real trouble people may be facing today or in the near future that they weren’t yesterday.

Rust is also very good for correctness for a lot of the same reasons as Haskell.
Oil prices are likely to decrease in the next 30 years (this according to the oil industry's own estimates). The capital requirements for fracking are unlikely to change much (since this isn't software). Pushing water through hard rock is expensive and technology isn't magic. They haven't gotten much better at it for the decades they've been doing it. Most of the output from a fracking site is extracted the first year, and then you have to find another site and setup again--this is expensive. The perceived success of fracking is due to private equity being able to fund a non-profitable business and then selling their share of the non-profitable business on the public markets that eat the losses. This trick hasn't been working lately, so unless the price of oil dramatically increases, the fracking industry is going to have a difficult future.
I think it does, as the OP was asking what Haskell is great at. Clojure actively positions itself as a language great for data transformations, as does the community, where Haskell doesn’t particularly tailor towards this. In fact this is the first time I ever heard someone say that Haskell is a great choice for that.

I hear many more Haskellers argue it’s a great language for writing parsers, and with that I very much agree.

Given the HKHRDA passed the Senate unanimously and in the House by 417-1,⁰ bipartisan consensus even ignoring your entirely unsourced claim that Biden is a Chinese puppet means that there is some will to resist this prospect.

The problem in the US is not intent but competence. Biden can be relied upon to not e.g. flip-flop as Trump did on North Korea or petulantly ask what the point of a long-term alliance is, and therefore is much better for those countries in Asia who want to resist China but want their major ally not to behave so erratically. In fact, Trump seemed to think of China as a counterparty with whom a ‘deal’ could be struck for his own political purposes:¹ he had no actual ideological objection to e.g. the camps in Xinjiang; Biden, like most members of the blob, at least pretends (probably even to himself!) to consistently and resolutely oppose that sort of thing (the obvious examples of e.g. support for Saudi Arabia notwithstanding), which means far more consistency. And consistency is good for alliances.

> Well we don't know that. In many cases the virus reproduces and spreads without any symptoms.

We know that asymptomatic people who are not immune can possibly spread the virus. But that’s a slightly different question.

We know that it’s very rare for someone with antibodies to be symptomatically reinfected with COVID. That’s also a slightly different question.

The specific question on the likelihood of someone with natural immunity to be able to later spread COVID without a symptomatic infection;

I’ve never heard of a single confirmed case of this happening. And the point is not that it never happens, the point is it’s a negligible risk. Smaller than, for example, someone who isn’t immune who is wearing a mask.

But from a public policy perspective, we’ll never actually admit this, just because the second order effects — where some people can rightfully walk around without a mask and are rightfully not subject to mitigations and lockdowns - are political untenable.

This had nothing to do with gun control however. The stand your ground rules (different in each state) pertain to use of deadly force (using any kind of weapon, including your fists.)

Again you can not brandish (“parade”) a gun without a lawful reason.

I have a concealed carry permit in a state that allows open carry. I have no interest in drawing attention to myself. Nor would I draw my weapon without real fear for my life. Beyond the fact that I would hurt someone, which I am not interested in doing if there’s a viable alternative, the costs of defending yourself (lawyers, probably losing my job, etc) after a shooting would bankrupt most people.

For me, the idea of using a gun is as the last line of defense.
