I assume by cracked you mean jailbroken or something of the like - and I deeply agree with you.

I also have one of the original windows RT tablets and it really was a remarkable tablet on the surface (no pun intended). Excellent hardware for the price. But the absence of "hackability" really ruined the potential.

There was a sweet spot pre Windows 8.1 that had a kernel exploit enabling running recompiled win32 binaries. I recall having Putty and Filezilla running and it being a fairly capable dumb terminal with excellent battery life. I even tried to compile chrome for it - but ran into many issues that at the time were far above my head.

To this day it sits on my desk, and I occasionally google to see if it's been opened up. ARM apps for Windows have come a long way since. Would love even more to run some Linux distro or Android. For now it makes an ahead of its time, thin, modern looking paper weight.
My personal opinion is that KDE is less polished, more bloated (in terms of features and options), and slower than GNOME.

If you think this has anything to do with free speech, please take some time on Parler.

I don't know if these are Russian agents or actual Americans behind some of the pages (probably both) but its page after page of content conspiring murdering public figures.

Conspiring murder is a crime for a reason.
Your point is well taken.

However, forcing people or organizations (which are groups of people) to host or support speech/activities they do not wish to support restricts the rights of those people/organizations.

If you can force them to give up their rights, others can force you to give up your rights.

I can't support that at all.

What's more, the idea that there's some sort of conspiracy/cabal that spans every corporation, industry and profession to murder free speech is a pretty far-fetched one.

There's an old saw that says, "if everyone around you appears to be an asshole, perhaps it's you and not everyone else."

Term limits don't necessarily have to be one term. I was sorta thinking 8 years like the pres. or maybe 10 for an even decade. That would give freshmen time to learn the ropes, but not long enough to get too ensconced. Especially since they still have to win re-election.

That is a good reason why we need to support such businesses not in the US. There is no way a European based company would ban them on such a short notice over some minor thing happening in the US. It isn't like US based companies ban much in Europe, it is just local politics driving these decisions.
Everyone will be gluing containers together: You'll have containers running in JS running in your browser, so if you want a feature you use docker web. This will run on web assembly - which will run everything on the web and off - mobile apps and desktop apps. But there will be competing web assembly standards so you will need to code for all of them.
You can solve this in hardware with a mouse with a free-wheel. My Logitech G502 lets you click a button to swap modes from free-wheel to braked-wheel.
Yeah, usually allows you to jump the queue for ops and to get a private room. Access specialists you may not have got referred to by NHS. See [1] for full list.

For example a friend of mine had a gallbladder removed on private last month but would have had to wait till middle of next year in NHS.

Not usually that bad, but covid means a lot of NHS hospitals are having to push back non-essential surgery.

Well, at least with messenger I know it will be there and nobody will remove it from the app store. How do I know tomorrow someone is not going to decide that right wing ideas are exchanged on Signal and therefore it will be banned from everything? I'd rather stay with our current overlords until the people will revolt against them.

> No, I'm saying it's hard for sex abuse victims to get their videos off Pornhub.

If they go to the police, who have the ability to get a court order, and they don't, isn't your issue with the police?

> If they can't even prevent re-uploads of known illegal videos

How do you propose that they know that it's the same video? Trivial checks like whether it's byte for byte identical are just as trivially bypassed by the uploader, e.g. by reencoding. Anything more complicated than that will fail to match with 100% accuracy, especially when the uploader is trying to cause that to happen. And then you would still have people complaining that the videos are there again.

This isn't a job for the platform. It's a job for the police.
Amazing how form and freedom aren't antithetical, but are actually part and parcel of true liberty.
Why not use both?

Putting aside what happens if one allows Javascript and uses "modern" browsers, Startpage generally does not seem to require any more data from users than DDG. A small shell script can be used to search Startpage or DDG (or almost any other search engine) from the commandline without sending any unecessary data, like unecessary headers, cookies or hidden form variables. The best part is by not using the "modern" browser to send the search, one can easily automate editing the results page before viewing it in a browser, discarding all the cruft. I like to just return the URLs. (I notice that Startpage also (a) supports HTTP/1.1 pipelining, e.g., multiple page requests over a single TCP connection; Google does not and (b) allows bans to be overcome by solving an easily read captcha and this seems to prevent further bans; Google imposes automatic temporary bans that cannot be overcome by solving a captcha.)

The biggest problem I see with the major search engines and these minor search engines that repackage results from the major ones is that they are too often limiting the number of results returned. For example, Google limits to something like 200-300. In the early days of the web, search engines used to brag about how many pages were searched, and they proved their claim by how many results they returned. Today search engines want to localise and limit the results. Not to mention promoting their own websites. I also notice repeated searches where one is collecting the total results not simply the first page yield different results.

Not every query is a question and not every user is interested in an instantaneous "answer" or the most popular website. That type of quick searching certainly has its place but it is not "research" and will not lead users to learn much about what actually exists on the web, or how to think critically about the web's content. Some users may want to search for pages and then evaluate the pages themselves. Exploration and discovery. Those users are treated as "bots" in order to justify what can only be anti-competitive practices. The sad consequence of this "limiting" behaviour is to keep curious users from ever learning what actually exists on the web (versus what a "search engine" decides to promote, or demote).

I have been playing around with Common Crawl data and it seems woefully circumspect in its scope. A web index should be public information but these search engines sure as heck do not treat it as such.
You raise a good question about why this wasn't stopped before it happened.

Apparently at least one prominent group made public weeks ago that violence was planned at the Capitol. Specific violence to place members of congress under "citizens arrest". I expect to see congressional hearings about this. It's really hard to fathom they were unprepared if the planning was done right out in the open.

Elon is talking about literal rocket science, not making a stir fry.
Not really. Tax-exempt status in the US prohibits donated money being earmarked. It also can’t be used to funnel money to arbitrary affiliates - they’d need to satisfy the permissible tax-free mission of the org. Plus those affiliates are going to end up paying the tax themselves. Without a clear picture of where the money is intended to go, it’s unlikely such an org could obtain tax-exempt status in the first place.

Note: tax-exempt status has become harder to obtain in recent years for open source projects.

I'm doing exactly this since 2021 and it helped _immensely_

New Year's Resolutions That Will Make Your Life Better 10 Unexpected
There is no "opportunity" to be had here and thinking that way wastes resources that are better spent elsewhere.

The "right" doesn't act on "policy" and never change their votes.

When the "outrage" dies out because it's not being fed by propaganda, the "right" will completely forget about election security, tech monopolies, etc. and will go back to opposing all those things because they are proposed by "The Libs".

And those of us working toward those things will simply continue to slog through the hard work of slowly building support.
My objection to that argument is that the companies claim that the content on the website isn't their speech when invoking Section 230, then claim that it is their speech in order to invoke the First Amendment.

Section 230 says:

> No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

So how can a company have free speech rights regarding content if they aren't the speaker?
Yes, Facebook is likely violating trademarks. Its quite disgusting to see a $500 billion dollar company fighting a non profit with such ugly tactics.
Cubans are not faring better because there are sactions that prohibit them from gaining access to basic international services, many of which are free. The pressure has to be applied to the people in charge, to their wealth, to their families abroad, etc. Hitting the guy manufacturing iphones is not an effective or morally reasonable tactic.
I wss enjoying the discussion without reading the article
the next step after PID control is state-space based control.

it's not a single tool but more of a framework. it goes beyond frequency based representations and can also model non-linear control problems.

the kalman filter is an example of the use of this framework where it's combined with statistics.

the problem in control theory though is that once you want to go beyond linear control things get very difficult, most of the literature seems to be about finding clever ways of approximating your problem into something linear.
You claimed to be an absolutist though. And yes, you can be a free speech absolutist. Take a class in philosophy and educate yourself.

There are plenty of free speech absolutists who believe any speech, including direct threats, should be protected speech. That you should have the right to threaten anyone and everyone. Of course, acting out and carrying out the threats is illegal.

For example, if you said "I am going to kill you", free speech absolutist believe that should be allowed. Now if you actually killed someone, then you should go to jail. Meaning there differentiate the words "I am going to kill you" with "murder". In other words, murder is illegal, but saying you will commit murder is not. There is some nuance to it, but there are free speech absolutists out there.

But you are not a free speech absolutist. You lied about it. You aren't even pro-free speech. You comments clearly show that you align with the pro-censorship crowd because you use their terms and their logic.

Like I said, you are a meat eater pretending to be a vegan talking shit about veganism. But why?
> I personally have used dead people's names (with DoB and city) in a few of the battleground states and I could see they not only received a ballot on election night, but sent it back. How could this possibly happen?

Who gave you the list of dead people? How did you verify its accuracy and rule out things like that case with an older woman voting as “Mrs. [dead man]”? What did reporters say when you contacted them?

> I'm not going to repeat all of the other claims, but we had a bigger investigation on Trumps Russian collusion, which had a fraction of the evidence.

That’s just silly: we have a mountain of evidence from multiple governments’ investigations into Russia’s activities and it’s had extensive hostile cross-examination. In contrast, we have a pile of unsupported allegations rife with errors and bad faith claims which the president’s own lawyers kept dropping because they knew that they didn’t have a case. That’s why Trump had to pressure people to manufacture fake votes because the real ones didn’t give the answer he wanted.
I guess using KDE would be, to keep the analogy going, a Toto. It cleans the pipes before that shit even gets to the toilet.

Though I do find the various ways you adapt your work flow to tools amusing. Like the file picker thumbnail rarely bothers me, because I have a habit (hard won) of using clear naming for files. Though it does annoy me that Sushi doesn't seem to work in the file picker.

That said, what really annoys me, every day, is the breadcrumb bar. Damn that to hell. If you are serious about naviagtion, why not just show me the whole tree? And I have to press Ctrl-L to revert to a text directory imput, and then, or otherwise click fifteen times to navigate to another directory.
The people cheering this on will not be protected when the mob comes for you.

We live in a digital age. If having the wrong opinion means you can get your bank accounts and all Internet presence removed from you, it's not any different than living under a fascist government.
> KDE is so amazingly good that there is no excuse to keep using Gnome.

I have nothing against KDE, but come on. Many of us really do prefer GNOME despite its perceived deficiencies. This is just a matter of personal preference.
My take on it would be that Microsoft had as much influence (dominating the desktop) but over a much smaller domain (much fewer computers, the internet was just taking off, and smartphones/tablets weren't a thing yet). In that era, more or less only techies cared about Microsoft's antics. From the public's perspective, the only time they had any reason to think about Microsoft as a company was when their computer BSODed. It wasn't an constantly in your face brand the way Facebook, Google, Amazon, Twitter, etc. is today for pretty much everyone.
You could hold individuals responsible for crimes when they are reported or found.
No, not at all. The article is about this precise problem: the file picker in Gnome does not show a preview of the selected file.

It’s truly absurd.

Edit: Folks, instead of downvoting, how about pointing out that I apparently have an additional bug going on in my desktop setup? This is exactly the problem with Gnome.

Sometimes I wonder if I should just quit starting my own side projects and instead take one open-source project and just work to improve the quality. No new and shiny stuff, but boring bread and butter business.

For example, I like XMPP, but many clients seem to have quality issues. So I could start writing tests for them and therefore find and fix bugs?

That's a common perception, and I tend to agree it's a moral standard we should hold people to, but the fighting words doctrine prohibits only speech which will immediately disturb the peace. There's no exception in current law for speech which will inevitably but nondeterministically cause something bad to happen.

> but I'd frankly prefer to donate to tax-exempt orgs.

I would prefer to buy a new car from a "tax exempt org" to maximise the "effectiveness to myself" of my purchase.. That's just not the way the world works though. libjpeg-turbo isn't developed by a tax exempt org, and nothing that _is_ developed by a tax exempt or is a practical replacement for it.

If you want lib-jpeg to survive/thrive, donating to The EFF or The Red Cross isn't going to help, no matter what your personal preference for donating is.

(You don't have to agree with the assumption that a single-developer open source software library should provide income to keep the developer's bills/rent paid. But you do not get to make demands about how that dev structures his personal finances either. If he says "no more work unless more money comes in", you can choose to send him some money to help, or to allow him to freeze/abandon the development. Arguing about his tax exempt status is just being dishonest about you choosing to not send him money. Not funding it is fine. Don't hide behind some meaningless 'effective "cost" to myself' excuse for not doing so. Not unless you're prepared to set up a tax exempt foundation and guarantee him a salary from it...)

Tolerating the intolerant gives the intolerant the foothold they need to get enough legitimacy to seize power and destroy the society which was tolerant of them.
the civil rights act effectively does protect speech with regards to religion and sexual orientation, since the idea that we won't discriminate against those things as long as nobody finds out is not what it means
This would be a reasonable policy if it were actually adhered to. In practice, as mentioned by the grandparent post, users posting threats against people like Coomer run rampant. This is an argument made in bad faith.
I think it is an interesting question, but is it really more topical now than when you asked 3 months ago? If so, can you let me why?
Monopoly is one part of antitrust laws but you don't have to be a monopoly to be breaking antitrust laws. This is pretty clearly anti competitive. Other examples would be price fixing or bid rigging (where you purposefully underbid so your competitor can win the contract for cheaper. And then your competitor does you a favor later).
Haha I would not, but that has nothing to do with where their software engineers were classified in their org. ;)

PyPy famously diverges from it a lot (namely for native modules).

Standardization is helpful for tool building and experiments (ie here are the invariants we’ll never change). Languages don’t work that way and seeing how C/C++ have evolved (or really failed to do so at a meaningful pace), I’m under the impression (clearly unpopular due to the downvotes) that standardization and multiple competing tool chains are the cause of a lot of unnecessary complexity (not just within the language but also users of said language).
As expected, they don't respond to the letter, but just take the opportunity to climb up on their free speech soapbox. Warner's letter doesn't suggest anything that would further threaten Gab's platform, just asks them not to shred the evidence of crimes that were committed on their platform.
To the HN users arguing in bad faith that Parler was just another Twitter or Facebook, it wasn't. The top posts of the site were overwhelmingly calls for violence, racism, and the spread of conspiracy theories. Parler volunteer moderators curated all dissenting voices on the platform to produce the exact content they wanted (accounts are shadowbanned by default until they are 'approved' for crying out loud).

This is the paradox of tolerance reaching its tipping point. Any sufficiently tolerant society can only be so tolerant until a bad actor becomes so detrimental to the continued function of that society, that they must choose between allowing some intolerance toward the destructive actor or risk losing everything by allowing the bad actor to continue their work.

This is not the patriot act. This isn't Prism. This is a group of people grooming others to shout fire in a crowded assembly hall. Good riddance.

It depends on your company. For new startups, I'd stick with delivering your product over building your own cloud services on top of EC2/S3.

At my last startup, the engineering head shared the Not-Invented-Here view. We couldn't use any handy services. We had to run our own Cassandra and everything else services. It was a huge time sink for a small team that didn't deliver differentiating value.

At my current startup, we're almost 100% serverless on SaaS providers. We operate a thousand or more nodes with no ops team (a couple engineers know ops, when needed). We leave the complexity of scaling an maintenance to our cloud vendor's autoscaling services. Sure, we could reduce our opex in places by trying to roll our own, but the ability to have the vast majority of engineers delivering customer product, rather than reinventing the wheel is more valuable to us than fear of vendor lock-in. If our cloud vendor wanted to jack rates, we'd take the necessary action, which we've done before when we banged a service in a week that a vendor was going to hold us over a barrel for, then dropped the vendor.
