well for one thing, the conservative slogan "defund planned parenthood" really does mean (AFAIK) remove all ways planned parenthood could possibly get a dollar from the government. it's not inconsistent to interpret "defund the police" the same way.

but more generally, it's inevitable that the opposing side will interpret a vague slogan in the most negative and scary light possible. I suspect this is often by design, ie motte and bailey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motte-and-bailey_fallacy

Emergency authorizations often end up being permanent. Claiming that the entire premise of the article doesn’t hold water because it’s an “emergency” authorization is to completely ignore how emergency authorizations work in practice.
Acid-free paper lasts a long time. If you want it to last longer, you could try vellum.

Centuries would be achievable, and after a few hundred years you could probably just reprint it on whatever technology they have.

This last summer with the BLM protests the local town FB group got flooded with people behaving badly and eventually the moderators had to step in and effectively ban a bunch of people and prevent discussion on the topic for a time.

This wasn't a group that catered to Nazis. It was a group that asked about the best pizza in town and pointed out when the high school was putting on a play. To say it caught the mods off-guard would be an understatement.

Mods had to step in and save the day, but it basically requires someone to watch the service 24/7 during heated times as the threads blow up quickly. They don't take days or weeks to warm up. It just takes an active community and some catalyst event.

This was effectively just a forum. It happened in a FB group, but could have just as easily been some local dude hosting a phpbb forum. Same thing.

So this is the thing I keep coming back to: why would anyone ever dip their toes in user-created content if 230 is changed/repealed? It's all risk at that point, especially for folks who would aren't quitting their day job for it.

Or to put another way, with 230 as it is, Trump can't use twitter/fb/etc, but he can spin up his own phpbb and start his own community there. Why isn't that ok?

I think that's possibly an over-charitable view, but if you accept it it still paints them as negligent and incompetent. "Some terrorists have explicitly said they will do this thing, in public, but, eh, they probably won't, so why worry about it" is a ridiculous take for someone in their position.
Get back to me when the most powerful Democratic politicians in the country throw their support behind violent extremists. The fringes of left wing politics have been kept at the fringe. For the past five years, if not longer, the extremist fringe of right wing politics has been allowed to enter the mainstream of the Republican party. The Republican President has endorsed them, encouraged them, praised them, and defended them, and the RNC just declared him to be their party's leader after what happened on Wednesday.

Nobody needs to "make" the right own their extremists because they have done so already.
I think one depends on the other, and vice versa.

I'd argue the costs with paging out are already accounted for by the other process paging in though. The other process that paged in and led to the need to page out had already led to the need to change the page table and flush cache.
It /is/ totally normal for large sheets of safety glass to shatter. Ive owned lots of enthusiast cars and in the enthusiast pickup truck world it's completely normal to have your rear glass or sunroof explode.

I think people get so wound up about this because they've driven budget cars their whole life and a Tesla is their first big purchase and don't have any contextual understanding of advanced car parts going wrong.
Yikes, some witnesses have reported the sounds of explosions. I wonder if it was from the aircraft hitting the water or something on the plane exploding before crashing into the ocean?

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

It's not my place to go around quoting the rules, but I was just hoping to calm the waters a little bit. We could all use a bit of "let's step back and talk this over rather than argue passionately for a position," I think. E.g. the article is about the implication of AI on society at large.
Oh, I agree that it should be used once a riot is declared. I just think its use was probably a bit premature in DC over the summer, although I'd need to go back and review the footage myself to be sure. I can't trust the media to report incidents like this fairly anymore.

When the East German police force was dissolved, its employees were allowed to apply for positions in the new police force (though without a guarantee of a position). Except for those with ties to the Stasi, who were barred. There is precedent for such an approach, and at least in that case it seems to have largely worked.

>I'm pretty sure I don't fully understand the mechanics of how distribution is handled and how users would find the appropriate site that hosts the content the user is seeking in cases where their normal node decides to block it.

There are several ways to address that issue:

1. Use a site that doesn't censor (or at least doesn't censor what you want to hear). Federate (you really should look at the links re: federation I listed a few comments back -- specifically, ActivityPub and Diaspora federation) with other sites. If the big boys are required to allow you to pull information, you can still see what's going on there;

2. All these sites have mobile "apps" (really just inferior interfaces to their web environment), so you (and/or others -- and if these sites are forced to open up their platforms it will definitely happen) can create/use an app that allows you to access mulitple platforms using the appropriate credentials;

3. Vote with your feet, as I did. A site can't censor you if you don't use it. In a decentralized environment, that's less (if at all) of an issue.

I'm sure there are many other ways to do so. Those are the ones that just popped off the top of my head.

In the interest of compactness, I'm going to respond to your later comment here.

>Is that what you think this is about? Money? Censorship is almost always about power and the desire to destroy opposition. It is a means to instill fear and stifle the discussion of any 'unpopular' ideas. It separates people. Money comes later.

I don't pretend to know what you think. However, it seems to me that most attempts to create large groups of "followers" are focused on building brands and making money.

I am a strong supporter of the freedom of expression and the Marketplace of Ideas[0]. I abhor censorship.

But I don't really get your point here. If Facebook/Twitter/Reddit/Joe's Hip Hop Emporium/Bernadette's Universe of Knitting Resources don't want to include your (or anyone else's) voice, those are their free speech rights and they should not be forced to host speech they don't want to host.

So what, exactly, is it that you want? A place(s) where people can share their thoughts and ideas freely and come together with other place(s) that want to participate in that?

Or do you want to force others to host the speech that you like, whether they want to do so or not?

I'm all for the former (which is what decentralization is all about), but fiercely against the latter as it impinges on the right of free speech.

>Your solutions are interesting but don't address the problem I'm interested in. Thanks for the thoughtful discussion.

That may be so, but if that's the case I never understood the problem in which you're interested.

Honestly, I didn't find your comments particularly thoughtful or well researched.

However, I'm glad we could have this discussion too. Thanks!

Same with a mid-90s Audi with my grandmother picking up someone from the airport. Took us a minute to figure out we weren’t in her car because both were immaculate inside. Though it was a while ago so I’m thinking they both just shared the same physical key to unlock the doors and start the engine.
youre mischaracterizing BLM. Parler posts were actively calling for violence and government overthrow. The mob at the capitol set up a gallows and were carrying handcuffs. To the (limited) extent that BLM protests turned violent, it was the result of situations on the ground getting out of hand, not planned in advance or incited by leadership. (Also, much of it was the result of aggression by police). There's certainly room for valid criticism of aspects of BLM protests but they are not at all comparable to the insurrection at the capitol this week.

When I started my yoga asana practice I ended up uncovering some shoulder dyskinesis I hadn’t been aware of from years and years of programming. That turned into a pretty bad shoulder injury that has on the plus side taught me a lot about my body.

One thing I learned is that a lot of shoulder stuff comes from tightness of the pec minor, which now in retrospect is pretty obvious. Some things that I do that have really helped with shoulder stuff:

1) Shoulder dislocates with an aikido jo. Any rigid stick works, like a broom handle.

2) Camel pose (ustrasana), but coming into it a bit differently than is usually taught in yoga classes. Keep your knees hips width distance apart, with your toes tucked under (rather than pointed), and sit on your heels. Grab your heels with your fingers on the inside of your feet (if you were to open your hand your thumbs will be pointing directly backwards). Make sure you have good shoulder rotation here. Now lift your pelvis up while holding on to your feet, get your pelvis stacked over your knees, and think about lifting your chest to the sky. Send your breath into your upper chest for 5-7 breaths and then come out the way you came in. This really opened my pec minor.

3) Gomukhasana with arms clasped behind your back. Use a strap if you can’t get the bind (it might take a while for this rotation to open).

4) Pull-ups. Lots of pull ups. Started with dead hangs, then would do 50% of max 6x times per day 3-4 days a week. Would retest max every 3 weeks. Got myself to about 15 per set before I decided I didn’t need to do that many pull ups.

5) cat cow with wrists flipped, fingers pointed backwards. Really focusing on the shoulder rotation and getting straight arm scapular engagement.

6) Infraspinatus strengthening a few times per week with light weight. Exercises were described in this article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3655748/

7) Lots of side planks (vasisthasana). Be careful with this one, it can do a lot of harm if you go too hard with it before you’re ready.

8) Not for shoulder per-se, but what really strengthened my neck muscles over the years has been practicing headstand the way it’s taught in ashtanga vinyasa yoga. (Sirsasana -> urdhva dandasana -> sirsasana -> childs pose).

During quarantine I started supplementing my regular yoga asana practice with Dylan Werner’s True Strength series and I highly recommend it if people are wanting an incremental body weight training series. Lots of mobility work in there too.

These companies have near monopoly control on the flow of information. Like it or not, they are the new public square. Just telling someone that's banned from Twitter, Facebook, etc., "but oh don't worry, you're still free to go downtown and hold up a sign and spread your message!", while everyone else is able to reach millions of people instantly, is not a solution, and you all know it isn't. Telling someone they can start their own website and not use Twitter, and then de-platforming the website they start, is not a solution, and you all know it isn't.

Seriously, look at the state of things. The left has decided to censor the President of the United States. They routinely censor and de-platform anyone that has differing political opinion, and they use disgusting tactics to do so, by just calling anyone that disagrees with them racist, evil, inciting violence etc., no matter how remotely those labels actually apply. Not to mention that the words no longer have any meaning and have been constantly redefined to mean whatever they want it to mean.

Anyone with different politics are banned from their platforms. If they try to start their own platforms then DNS providers ban them, payment providers ban them, companies drop them, app stores ban them. Like someone mentioned elsewhere, what's next? Does anyone not a leftist need to create their own mobile networks? Lay their own fiber? When the left puts an end to this too, what's next? It's already gone to an unacceptable level of censorship and destruction.

You really want to see how evil starts? This is it. A group of people so convinced that they're morally just, better than everyone else, just like every evil regime that ever existed, that have justified to themselves that everyone else is evil, that it's fine to do evil things to them, that's it's fine to literally burn books because the knowledge conflicts with their ideology, that it's OK to do evil things to those that they've deemed to be evil, and that, conversely, nothing they do is evil. That everything they do is "fighting for Democracy!", yet everything anyone else does is the literal death of Democracy. The supreme irony being that of course complete censorship and destruction of any opposing ideas is so obviously the death of democracy. Always getting your way is not democracy.

It's evil, pure and simple, from top to bottom. If you ever wondered how an evil regime forms, how people support it and cheer it on and let it happen, you're witnessing it right here and now.
Idk if you can strictly say that.

Haskell allows more generalized do blocks because of HKTs. I blogged about this a few years ago. https://www.sparxeng.com/blog/software/higher-kinded-fun-in-.... (Granted, I've never had a use for that beyond code golf).

And C# is nice because you can await anywhere in an expression instead of just at a "let!" declaration. This is something I do miss when using F#.

But agreed, F# is usually my language of choice.

This is getting downvoted, probably because it's pushing an unrelated agenda, but there's an important principle here that both Democrats and Republicans don't seem to understand: at some point, the other party just 100% is going to seize control of the government. It is going to happen.

Donald Trump's administration openly considered declaring BLM a terrorist group. I don't want someone like that deciding what does and doesn't count as neutral speech. That is a thousand times more dangerous to me than Facebook making the same decision.

It is startlingly naive for people not to understand that terrorism laws and 'neutral-speech' laws will be used against causes they agree with. Republicans in particular are kind of jumping the gun by encouraging the government to get involved with speech literally during a period where they no longer control the presidency, or the house, or the senate.

Problem with this is that facial recognition is not perfect. It's no better than fnger printing which often leads to unjust arrests. There is no replacement for detective work and the government shouldn't be lazy to exclude it. The best it can do is narrow down suspects.

I’ve yet to find a platform where the HBO Max app isn’t a total piece of garbage, iOS included.
> So where would I set the bar? I would set it at the level that a company isn't at fault if their platform has the right kind or amount of moderation that the bad event that happened was unusual or couldn't have been expected. If someone gets hurt because Facebook didn't police an openly Nazi group, they should be liable. If someone gets hurt because Facebook has decent moderation procedures in place but the Nazi group was sneaky and posed as a sports fan club and used coded messages, then I think Facebook would have a pretty easy defense even without Section 230.

I like this idea in theory. How does this work if the platform promises no moderation? Is that allowed? I'm thinking of a mastodon-type setup where a setup can choose not to do any type of filtering/moderation.

This reminds me of Blancolirio speaking of “perishable skills” in a recent video: https://youtu.be/u19R0zfusiQ&t=14m30s

That was in regard to mid-air refueling but I’m sure it extends to other skills as well.
Wow, I honestly wonder if this was caused by mixing up “functor” in the C++ and Haskell senses…

To expand on that, for those in the audience:

In Haskell, a functor is a type constructor (like “list”, “optional”, “future”, “I/O request”, &c.) with a way to map a function over it, covariantly, in a way that preserves its structure—i.e. without changing the shape of the container or structure of the action represented by the constructor, just the contained elements or produced result.

This is based on the more general notion of a functor in mathematics, which is a mapping between categories. The Haskell version is much more constrained, though: it only maps between Haskell types, and it’s parametric (iow completely generic), not just any old mapping.

While in C++, a functor is a completely different thing: an object that can be called like a function. It’s thus equivalent to a closure, where the object fields are the captured values. And that sounds like the description being used here.
