Once again - the best educated voter still only has two choices, and neither of these represent the poor.

Do people on HN really think the very rich or the very poor were at all bothered by the Capitol riots? Government is irrelevant to both groups, in different ways.
And there's a ton of hypothetical situations that show the contradiction of those two points.

First, if having a platform in a specific company's garden means speech and forcing someone to shout on a street corner to only a handful of people is silencing them, then how can they provide different size platforms to me versus anyone else? Is limiting my post to the millionth spot down the list any different then making me shout on a street corner to the same number of people? If they limit the view of my posts to just a handful of people rather than the front page, I"m being just as silenced as being forced to shout on a street corner. If they provide one person a spot on their front page and not me, am I being silenced? I demand my time on the front page or top search results. Are you going to regulate how companies are permitted to design their algorithm? Would you disallow algorithms that buried certain groups?

By designing the algorithms that put some people on the front page and not others, they already have made editorial decisions and are silencing people. So my question to any of the people who are against the companies not allowing some speech, why are you not against the algorithms that already silence people?

And second, if twitter can't deny users due to the type of speech, are christian forums forced to allow themselves to be overrun by 4chan type atheists or members of another religion?

These are a couple just off the top of my head, it's easy to come up with examples that show the original posters two points are in contradiction.
Even if the intended meaning is that it does (in the title) say "best" not favourite, which is ultimately, if not exactly, a reasonably quantitative question.
My maxed out 2015 13" Macbook Pro runs as strong as ever. I paid more up front and have had no regrets since, and no need to upgrade any of the internals.
A chromebook is a toy and a surface pro X is a terrible computer. Apple wasn't the first to transition to ARM, but they were the first to do it right. If they added things to the hardware to enable this, so what?
Read the thread carefully. The vpn part was shown to be normal, not the firewall.

The original problem was with the firewall, there were only passing mentions of the vpn which op tested.

Also problematic, the op released no data. Whether that works for you depends on your pov.
Parler takes some responsibility for the content in the app if they want to publish it on the Apple/Google App Stores - because the store policies demand that they do.

This is unrelated to legal responsibility. It’s an agreement between the owner of the App Store and the creators of Apps on it.

If Walmart colluded with all the other major grocery stories to ban anyone who wants to raise their taxes, for example, then I would find that pretty horrifying as well and would advocate for laws to prevent that.

Fortunately, we aren't seeing such actions yet, so we don't really have a large need for such laws. But yes, if such actions happened, then that would be bad and we should make that illegal.

yeah but Apple downsides are particularly infuriating cus they're not the result of technical limitations.. The downsides are intentional on Apples part. They didnt try to engineer the most useful computer, they intentionally crippled various things in their OS for shady business reasons.
To be honest, rational argument and evidence doesn't exactly sway people of the opposite belief because they, too, are swimming in a sea of like voices.

Every time big tech bans or suspends a user, another supporter of Trump is born.
Sorry I thought I did via examples? My bad, let me say it directly:

It’s the people who work for the “government,” working directly with corporations to suppress speech.

230 won’t protect corporations from libel suits filed against them. On top of the massive suit coming from John Matze, many more will follow.

No, I don't conflate the two at all.

I'm simply saying that by the U.N.'s definition of “genocide”, handing out condoms can be construed as such, and that the definition is therefore not worth much, or rather, that following it's definition, genocide is not problematic per sē, as it does not necessarily involve the involuntary taking of human life.

A tank that grinds into your wrists.
The VG 2065 is only 'conservative' on paper. There was a time, 20 or more years ago that it would also be true. The issue is that there is little, if any, upside left in bond prices and they have also become far more correlated with equity returns. So if the stock market tanks, the current allocation of 9% of the 2065 tracking corp bonds (by bond fund) will likely also tank. How quick and far the eventual recovery is of course anyones guess (remember too bond mutual funds are not the same as owning individual bonds).

My 2cent, non-advisor opinion: I would skip the target funds and instead pick an equity fund and allocation (ie, 80%) and put the balance in USFR or VRIG. You won't forsake much in the way of yield with far less downside risk. And unlike a bond mutual fund, floaters reset to current market rates - you won't be stuck with a portfolio filled with low coupon bonds if 5 or 10 years from now rates are at more historically normal levels.
It's not just about a straight cost comparison. It's about how organizational decision-making works.

The people shopping for products are not spending their own money, but they are spending their own time and energy. The people approving budgets are not considering all possible alternatives, they are only considering the ones that have been presented to them by the people doing the shopping.

If the shoppers decide that an option will cost them too much in time and irritation, then it may be that the people holding the purse-strings are never even made aware that it exists. Even if it is the cheapest option.
During BLM protests conservatives were posting pro police updates. Now that Trump supporters murdered a police officer reality has set in for them. This is the end of Trump. Most conservatives are good people who would never murder a police officer for Trump. They are not going to fight for him to be replatformed. No one is going to insure his physical rallies. Even if they do the turnout will be low as most people don't want the attend a murder riot.
It bypasses firewalls, or network blockers using the new APIs...not sure how the vpn thing got started because that was never part of the original claims.
Cool writeup. Would you say you had a product idea and then talked with clients to verify it, or talked with clients first and then created a product to suit?

There could be a useful transferable lesson here. Any endeavour which has a really big risk attached to it (here, the risk of vandalism) can still be a success if you deploy sufficient mitigations, countermeasures and vigilance against that risk.

May it be possible you formed a bias? Take extreme examples of preppers or religious nuts - if something happened tomorrow, they'd be the first to say "I've been telling you for years". Does that mean they were right all along or rather that given a long enough time frame anything can happen?

on the flip side, no revolution since and including arab uprising was successful, and unlike us, they're actually prepared to sacrifice themselves for their ideals.
I work in a hospital. They have switched the default search engine to ecosia. All adverts are blocked, so it cant help plant trees, and because it's bing, the carbon footprint is then positive (rather than at least neutral with Google). So it's all virtue signalling.
Worst of all, we get worse results, all the time, and I think this will indirectly affect patient care.
Did you just group me - a cuban-venezuelan-american - with white supremacists? This is quite rude. I am familiar wih AWS so I'll leave it on my resume, thanks for the unwelcome advice - though I certainly will advocate my employers choose something else. You don't care about me as a "rounding error" and thats fine. Sad to see that anti-free speech is so pervasive at Amazon that you actually feel comfortable being so arrogant, ignorant, and impolite.
Matrix.org still has message latency of over 30 seconds pretty regularly unfortunately.
This has not been true in the past - Apple hit a peak in the early 2010s. It then had ups and downs - Retina was a good step, but the CPU bumps have been lame, the Touchbar has been an active step backwards, the port situation has got progressively worse and the keyboard have been terrible. Some models like the Air just got no progression for years on end.

Life in the Apple eco-system isn't like life in the normal computer eco-system, there's very little competition once you're committed to the OS.

I think it could be because labor laws differ much more between nations than they do between states. There's more room for corps to drive down wages by outsourcing labor to nations that don't have labor laws.

Ok, so let's put our neural network inside a robot with sensors, so it can see, hear, smell, taste and touch its environment. Let the robot wonder around and learn how to do various tasks (imitation learning, self-supervised learning, reinforcement learning, etc). Let's say after a few years of such training it starts to behave like it was sentient. How do you know what structures have formed in its multi-trillion parameter space? How do you know if those structures are fundamentally different from human brain structures responsible for sentient behavior?
> I think people ... should be accountable for their speech.

There is certainly some speech which is and should be illegal, but if you optimize communication systems for "accountability" you might end up in a situation which is worse than what we have now.

Given low-interest rates and very high prices in both bonds and stocks, you could withdraw safely only about 3%, not the usual 5%. And that's not counting on any improvements in longevity over the next 30 years. You'll also have to deal with very high inflation rates in health care costs, which will dominate larger and larger chunks of your spending over the years in many countries - even those with free public healthcare.

3% of 1M is $30,000, before taxes on any investment gains. That's basically a little less or a little more than a minimum wage job, depending on where you live. Most likely both you and your spouse will need to live off of that.

I don't think 1M is enough to retire in any manner of comfort. 2-3M would be a lot safer. And that's if you move to a cheaper locale and avoid any of the first-tier cities.
I stopped my XMPP server some 7..9 years ago after seeing loads of spam in MUCs.

I will point out that you only talk about stylistic issues and do not actually address the central point of the article, which is that language matters ("terrorist" or "freedom fighter"?) and that the discourse using these words is influenced by it.

A discussion about freedom fighters is a different one than a discussion about terrorists, even though the people involved might have committed the exact same crime (shooting a bunch of people).

As such, designating the mob as American Patriots and the event itself as a "riot" or "insurrection" instead of as a "coup" is - indeed - important and very telling.
Prediction: The M1 will make the web slower for most people.

Web devs will buy the M1 because it executes their slow dev tools faster (npm ecosystem).

Then they will test their web pages on the M1 and deploy them when they are "fast enough".

Result: web pages will be even slower on mobile phones and non-M1 laptops.

> windows PCs at the price point

£999 is a lot of PC. The processor in the M1 air is about 20% faster than the one in my laptop (£550 IIRC), but to spec an M1 out with the same amount of storage and RAM brings it to £1999.
You must be new to Macs. I'm still on the MBP 2015 and it's "the best computer I've ever owned". Everything since then has technically upgraded parts, but the regressions (touchbar, butterfly keyboard mishaps, etc.) are not worth the upgrade.

That's why this is surprising.

We have a Lodge cast iron wok [0].

That said, I don't know that I'd recommend it to anyone as we rarely use it.

I read somewhere that unless you have a commercial-grade gas range, you are unlikely to hit the temperatures needed to really properly cook with a thinner metal wok. Cast iron is supposed to be a bit of a compromise because it can hold the heat better, but you can't toss it around the way you would with a normal wok.

As to carbon steel, I'd say go for it. I think you'll find it a lot less fussy than you have been told.

Also, I'd say stir fry definitely qualifies under the "something specific" where you would want to use the high heat settings on the stove.

I agree, and that's why I work on Scuttlebutt.

they ended up shipping the m1 macs running essentially SafariOS so... I guess they wanted to join the ranks of "toys" people can actually use to have all their modern apps run well on (webapps)

idk if you've noticed the transitions going basically as well as it went for other brands minus being able to... point to higher geekbench scores when emulating x64???

never did I think I'd see the day when apple is trying its best to rush literally chromeos but based on bsd out the door at the last second because catalyst barely runs any apps in a useful way
Liberal

Thanks, sounds like your experience so far has been positive, right?
The recent MacBook Pro's are IMO not superior to the experience of using the first Retina MBP's. I'd rather have that model of MBP's, only with performance increases and without the Touch Bar.
Back in the early to mid 2000s, I learned web design/development by volunteering to create websites for charities/NGOs. In the process, I

* ensured that the code (HTML and CSS, only basic non-AJAX, JavaScript) was standards-compliant (at the time, XHTML [1] was “the big thing”)

* implemented basic usability guidelines as advocated by Jakob Nielsen [2] in his Alertbox newsletter and

* followed Mark Pilgrim’s suggestions in his Dive Into Accessibility

Carrying out the above and simply focussing on quality content was enough to rank highly in Google’s search engine results and I never had the need nor inclination to do any research into SEO. Back then the mantra in the web development books was that “content is king” – and Google reflected this philosophy. Sadly, the Web has changed a lot in the intervening years.

This is the predictable HN response I envisioned after reading the title.

You'd start to have a point if they were only talking about raw performance. But they aren't.

Also, raw performance alone doesn't make things better. My Windows PC almost has the best parts on the market yet things don't always feel faster. The UI even feels slower than my previous one. It's my latest PC, but it's not the best computer I've owned.
I guess it depends on their jurisdiction? If someone knows more, please do share.

This post says how unpredictable it is.

Come on, you can run a linux distribution on a non-apple hardware and not even worry if any of those software will run on it. Plus any of the 40 other top TIOBE tools.
You are correct only about Ryzens based on the old Zen 2.

Any new Ryzen 5xxx based on Zen 3 is faster in single-thread than the best Apple M1.

In general-purpose benchmarks, like Geekbench 5, the maximum Apple M1 score is 1752, while Ryzen 5xxx score between 1800 and 1876.

In computational benchmarks, where the IPC is limited by some execution resources reaching 100% utilization, so the higher average IPC of Apple M1 does matter much less, Apple M1 is even slower compared to Ryzens. For example Ryzen 7 5800X is 22% faster than Apple M1 in gmpbench (the benchmark was run for both CPUs after tuning specific to Apple M1 and tuning specific to Zen 3 were added to libgmp, so it is a comparison of apples with apples).
I was one of the first administrators on one of the non-English versions and saw it grow from "this cannot possibly compete with Encyclopedia Britannica etc." to "OMG, what would the world do without Wikipedia?".

I have tried arm computers such as raspberry pi and they are slow. The linux arm projects seem to target just the cheapest price, m1 seems more like bang for buck. I hope linux hardware develops towards that.

That's not an answer. I am well aware of defcon's voting village. I'm well aware of many of the issues with voting machines and actively advocate for better security (and voting methods).

But I think you'd taking the results too far. You'd have to hack into hundreds or thousands of machines within a single state to change its votes. Worse, you have to do this in a way that looks plausible. You're talking about a major conspiracy that would have to take place. And if Russia is going to change votes why wouldn't China, Israel, or others? So they would have to all organize together so they don't undo one another's work. And that would have to happen without us (NSA, FBI, CIA) finding out. You're talking about a conspiracy that would be very difficult to pull off and require high amounts of organization.

Hacking a computer is easy. Hacking a thousand computers in a room full of people that are worried about their computers being hacked? Different story.
I specifically remember the year laptops went from 16:10 displays to 16:9 because ... reasons. Laptops did not get better that year.

Now moving from 16:9 to 16:10 (or 3:2) is called an innovation ...
It could take the same approach as GDC and GNAT, by having the frontend written on the same language (D and Ada respectively), shared with other implementations using another set of backends.
> most incompetent coup ever

An angry mob sacked the Capitol. If #ZipTieGuy and friends had arrived mere minutes earlier, they'd have walked into a joint session of Congress containing every member of succession to the President that he did not appoint himself. It's easy to call it incompetent now that it failed but we might have just avoided a revolution by the skin of our teeth.
Discourse is narrower than you'd like; that doesn't mean it's "gone". When someone makes extraordinary claims like "Discourse is gone," that is a red flag that they are not viewing the situation objectively.
