In practice, the American revolution did not come about through open debate:

'On October 25, the freemen of Essex County, New Jersey, proclaimed that anyone who adhered to the Stamp Act should be cast out of polite society, that decent people should have “no Communication with any such Person, nor speak with them on any Occasion unless it be to inform them of their Vileness.” This was not an isolated view. One writer to a Pennsylvania paper suggested, in language typical of the time, that a man paying stamp duties should be “branded with eternal infamy and reproach,” and cast out. “Let him be alone in the world—let him wish to associate with the wild beasts of some dark loathsome cave.”'
Then they have a baseless false expectation.
If you mention some site is good in SEO it generally implies that compared to content quality, it gets better ranking in search engine. Here what you are saying is the quality is better and it is a good thing that SEO is same as have good quality content.
> There are no reasons why one should not produce a good design in a any language.

Certain languages give you better tools than others in terms of reaching a good design. Go for instance puts you in a bit of a "jail" in terms of complexity which prevents you from going too far off the rails. Rust uses a strict compiler to categorically prevent whole classes of issues. So yes in some sense bad code is a "people problem" but the right tools can go a long way to mitigate it.

> Rust may be faster to read, but you can hit some very rough patch and serious head scratchers.

I think this is where Rust's type system can often be a double-edged sword. I have run into more than a few libraries which try to make things "simple" to use by leveraging traits solve problems in a somewhat magical way, but in my experience this often makes it very difficult to trace what's actually going on. I find that Rust code is not all that self documenting, and it relies heavily on documentation in order to be understandable. And quite a few libraries are strong on per-item, per-function documentation but there's a gap in terms of high-level docs explaining the intended use of the library.
Twitter is already very judicious when it comes to any use of the word 'kill' nowadays=s, or anything that could be violent. Just requires a report.
FB is spending a huge amount of money on this, because they have to pay a growing army of human moderators.

You are absolutely right. To go one step further, in my original post I should have really referred to the total quality system, because this also involves extending back to supplier processes and tolerances.
Portal and renter nodes pay hosts for the data in Siacoin. These payments are managed by file contracts that renters and hosts agree on and sign cryptographically. These contracts involve periodic verification that the data is being hosted. Failure to verify involves an automatic financial loss for hosts.
That paragraph is poorly written and doesn't warrant a standalone heading at all. JPEG2000 is mainly a lossy format, comparing its rarely used lossless mode to other lossless formats is pointless.

While JPEG2000 doesn't catch on, it's still used moderately in some fields, particularly medical imaging and some other scientific imagings. And the use of wavelet-transform based algorithms in compression is adopted in lots of other formats too.
> Some people seem to think that freedom of speech is something that can be broadly forced upon private organizations, and that’s simply not true.

Why not? Private companies must respect your rights, like your right not to be discriminated against, so why can‘t they be forced to respect your right to free speech? Just because the status quo of the legal ecosystem is not ready to handle this edge-cases doesn‘t mean it can‘t be made to do it with some adjustments.
Nope, you are just okay suppressing points of view you didn't like, while calling them vile names such as "racism, misogyny, and nationalism". You just dismissed the whole 7 million country - and didn't feel a thing. And the world you are welcoming by it is the world of 1984 and Fahrenheit 451. The only different thing is that in your world books aren't be burned - that is bad for climate change. They will be - already are - quietly deleted from the servers. You are the dystopia that we've been warned about by 20th century writers. We failed to prevent you. Now it's for us to despair for the lost freedom and for you to hope to never cross your new masters (but know you will, sooner or later).
As with many things in logistics, it depends where you are. If you're trying to have a laptop delivered to a small village near, like, Chiang Rai, your experience will be different than if you were having it sent to Silom in Bangkok.
Thanks. I've always just assumed if the masses of a society think something is unacceptable, then going against that norm would be considered unethical.
And furthermore, it would be years until the actual ETH2 is usable, right?
The overwhelmingly Republican Oklahoma State Board of Elections, appointed by the Republican governor of Oklahoma with the consent of the Republican Oklahoma State Senate, debunked this video specifically, down to the subprecinct.

This doesn't seem like a good faith argument, but that doesn't matter; I'm not interested in the argument, so much as I am in how this thread does in fact provide a pretty good illustration of what a Gish Gallop is.
Celeste is really great! But the github repo only contains some class files from the game, 'for inspiration'. So it is just a small sample. Also there is no artwork. I would not call that 'a game hosted on GitHub'
People who do exercise regularly even if fun friends group is not available do have healthy workout patterns. And if they do it long term likely do have fun for them pattern.

Yes, friends group help with motivation. But if you are completely dependent on them, your exercise pattern will break with any larger lifestyle changes - like when you travel or when you have kids or when friends don't have time anymore.
I haven't read about this in a long time, but I have always been curious why the wheels weren't tested more on Earth and designed to be more hardy. Curiosity has apparently only traveled 12.5 miles, and that seems extremely low for such heavy damage. I would have guessed that tests on Earth would have logged many more miles than that, but I should look into their diagnosis of what went wrong.
But the whole idea of attaching a one dimensional number to a preference seems flawed. How do you even compare movies, books, songs you enjoy? There’s a broad sense of liking or not something in general, but attaching a 4.1 stars to this and 4.3 stars to that seems delusional. And it’s not context-free either: start taking into account the time of day, state of mind, the phase of the moon or what have you, and you might as well throw the whole concept out.
Do you see program synthesis eventually replacing the majority of development work?

From my perspective most web development could be replaced by an advanced synthesizing algorithm and a product owner who understands the dsl.

I feel like the majority of web development work these days is just stringing together apis, which could easily be automated.

Coupled with next gen design tools for the front end I predict a huge reduction in development resources required for most projects.
I’ve been reflecting on this lately as well. 75M people voted for Trump just two months ago, and now he’s been deplatformed from the major social media networks, and the alternate network that some of his supporters were moving to is effectively shut down for weeks/months.

I think you’re right in that the health of a democracy is closely linked to the ability of diverse voices to make themselves heard.

I don’t know what effect these moves will have but I suspect it will not have the intended one.
To be a host on Skynet, you have to declare yourself on the Sia blockchain, which means users running a blockchain node (full node or lite node) are able to have a complete and limited list of all the possible hosts on the network. The Skylinks aren't just hashes, they contain a couple bytes extra of information as well.

Between the explicit list of potential hosts and a small amount of hinting in the Skylink, you can narrow down the number of potential places a file is stored to be small enough that you can just ping all of them in parallel with a request for the data. You don't have to do any multi-hop routing to find the data.

This saves latency.

That's ... weird. It's pretty similar to "knee", but with an "oo" sound. Are you saying people pronounce "ge-noo"?
This is a good change which prevents body shops from privatizing the financial surplus of the visa. Right now body shops can flood the lottery and underpay their employees relative to direct hire h1b.
I think this is rather unfair. This blog offers an alternative perspective:

"A second theme we have here is the complication of our view of the Dothraki – presented here as a sophisticated, culturally flexible people who can put on “rich fabrics and sweet perfumes” when they visit their second homes among the palaces of Pentos, yet who still hold to their own culture where everything is done under the open sky."

"One of George R.R Martin’s innovations that sadly didn’t make it onto the screen is the way in which he both displays and subverts the traditional fantasy tropes about barbarians and barbarism."

"Any fantasy work with a foot in the Middle Ages has to reflect this history. And yet, the line between “Christendom” and “barbarism” was never simple – Medieval Europe was built out of the invasions of Goths, Franks, and Vandals into the Roman Empire, just as Westeros was built out of the invasions of the First Men, Andals, Rhoynar, and Valaryians."

If you're unfamiliar with American politics, perhaps you're not Gish Galloping on purpose. I buy that could happen! But you should be aware that's what you're doing here, at the very least so you can understand why few people will be persuaded by your comments, despite the effort you're putting into them.
Technopoly was floating around my fraternity's library. I picked it up randomly, and loved it. Postman didn't write the ancient Egyptian myth told in the beginning of the book, but Pharaoh being cognizant of the downside to Thoth's gift of writing to mankind was eye-opening. The rest of the book was also good. It really changed my prospective on technology, to always be on a lookout for hidden downsides to seemingly universally beneficial technologies like writing.

(MIT fraternities may be a bit different from what you'd expect. About half of MIT undergraduate men are members of fraternities.)
The copies you've already shared under license X are still licensed under license X even if you quit sharing further copies under license X and switch to license Y.

Singapore is obviously an outlier, but Malaysia faces the same kinds of issues outside of major cities that every other country in the region does. Solving[1] last-mile delivery for ex-urban SEA is one of the biggest challenges in logistics right now.

Those comparisons are meaningless without also factoring in some measure of quality such as VMAF. The advantages of AV1 become clear in that case.
it's an interesting idea, kind of foundation trilogy psychohistory like but it's also in some ways very obvious and hard to disprove at the same time. He gives two generations as the length for instability to dwell up, and if you move that like a sliding window over American history most of the time it'd probably be true depending on your definition of violent upheaval.

However if you expand it to other countries I think it quickly breaks down. In Latin America or the ME you have these cycles on a per year basis if they actually ever stop, in some regions you have way more piece and stability for hundreds of years.

The 'two generations' logic makes sense if you sneak into your assumption that you're in what I'd call moderately violent, fairly stable society like the US, but the reasoning is kind of circular.

Also assuming cliodynamics actually did have predictive power far beyond common sense then you have fully entire Foundation territory because then you're in some sort of strange loop where the acceptance of cliodynamics likely diretly impacts cliodynamics.
Well, as a Swedish speaker I will respectfully disagree with your pronunciation. To my ears the the y is not like the e in me, but I can't think of a good English equivalent.

Most of the latency right now is software slowdowns, our production testing suggests that with some more optimization at the software level we should be able to get below 80ms with today's protocol and host network.

That's still not quite where the centralized CDNs are, but the numbers should only get better as the network grows and matures.
Wait, you have to use a smartphone app to interact with your bank? There is no website with 95% of the functionality (or bonus functionality that the app doesn't have) available as a website for desktop users?

This is rather unusual, the credit union I use in the USA offers an iOS and Android app that is literally a webview of their mobile website, plus a dash of OCR for check handling. Using the PWA is nearly identical, it even works on a PinePhone with Maemo or any other operating system that can run a semi-modern browser.
Let the time speaking by itself. Parler will end up in court.

Why ? Because for years, Trump's administration (I don't recall but maybe Obama's also) is fighting against "Fake News", forcing platforms to do fact checking "or else".

A new platform emerging, promoting its lack of control over that will irremediably leads to huge abuses and scandals.
It's just a matter of time.

A massive scandal over a year, a closure over two or three tops.
The fact this isn't a 1st amendment issue doesn't mean by extension this isn't a freedom of speech issue. Freedom of speech as a concept is much broader than the 1st amendment as well as the United States. Anonymous feedback boxes are an example of an tool meant to ensure freedom of speech.
Part of what makes this situation interesting/concerning is that it's not hard to imagine that censoring unwanted or problematic speech might become technically infeasible at some point in the not so distant future.

I'm not at all a crypto maximalist. However, let's assume that the technical questions about the viability of large-scale, highly performant distributed apps running on blockchains get worked out. Assuming we eventually do have something like a de-centralized Facebook running on something like Ethereum, how could we ever expect to avert situations like this in the future by moderating content? If that content was stored on an immutable blockchain, it might be impossible to moderate. The only solution would be to somehow take down the entire blockchain network.

Related to this, there seems to be something important about the interactivity and responsiveness of a social media platform that's connected with how useful it could be to organize movements like this. Maybe, if it turns out that blockchain-based solutions can't get around having the built-in latency of something like a block time, then dapps will never be viable alternatives to centralized social media platforms.
For those who don’t closely follow SEO, can you explain what Panda is/was?
Specifically -as a nearly trivial statement- en.wikipedia is predominantly edited by those people who can write in English.

These can be:

* Native speakers: From eg. USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland.

* People who speak English as a second language (which is most of the western world including western Europe)

In general out of this set of countries, the USA tends to be fairly (economically) conservative and right-leaning. (Compare with eg. Netherlands, Norway, Germany, France, Canada, New Zealand, etc. )

What makes you say that countries in eg. Asia are more right leaning than the USA? That surprises me a bit.
Would you prefer "not winning 60+ lawsuits" as a more correct wording?

IMHO being thrown out for lack of standing is either pretty much "loosing" (bringing an argument for why you have standing and the court rejecting it, in cases where it isn't clear that's certainly a valid thing to do) or worse (not even managing to file a proper lawsuit - although not caring for that makes it of course easier to spam an impressive-sounding number). And it's not the like the cases where they weren't rejected for lack of standing generally went much better?
+1 for SML. I've found F# scratches some of that itch. It is a CLR language with all the up- and downsides that come with .net
What is or isn't intuitive depends highly on context and background. Good luck finding something that's intuitive for everyone. People have tried and failed with artificial languages.

> their continued insistence on maintaining exclusive control over what people install on their devices

Think of iOS devices like gaming consoles with a GSM chip and you'll have a better analogy.

You can't install your own software on an Xbox, Playstation or Switch without going through some hoops. Neither can you get any random piece of software in their stores without complying with their rules.

It's the exact same thing with iOS.

I definitely think that the person who killed a boy and stated that she wants to kill all men — I definitely think they shouldn’t have a Twitter account

Has Twitter been made aware of this person and won’t suspend their account?
I have strongly felt that the actions taken by these companies is morally and ethically the right thing to do, for any business and that is inconsistent with believing in true free speech

You feel this way because you agree with their political views. But that's not how free speech works. What if these platforms banned Joe Biden, because they correctly pointed out that he has used his right to free speech before to destroy millions of lives by unleashing a mass incarceration bill, which to this very day disproportionately affects certain racial groups based upon "immutable characteristics of their person" [1]?. Or if they had canceled him over what appear to be highly credible allegations of sexual assault [2]? Would you feel the same way?

How can they face jail, if they are FBI operatives, acting on direct orders?

I means, are we supposed to believe, that FBI — the same FBI that surveils entirety of Internet and have backdoors in FAANG — fails to catch a whiff of ongoing revolts?! And police just yields Capitol to bunch of protesters?!? And they say, that Russian FSB is heavy on theatrics...

Personally, I'm not really comfortable with the existence of a database of people from which to compare faces against.

However, I think it's perhaps more worrying that one day this evidence will be presented in court and the jury will trust the accuracy of "AI" over their own judgment.

To clarify, the situation I'm thinking of is where a grainy CCTV image is shown to the jury. The AI expert comes in and talks about all of the technical details of their algorithm and how it determines that the grainy image is of defendant A with 96% probably.

Another way how to characterize the "context of [deep] machine learning" is that it is the regime of high temperature
(stochasticity) as a result of small batches and/or large learning rates, and/or the regime of high momentum (Adam et al.). The evolutionary dynamics in the genetic space is (intuitively) at much lower temperature (shorter jumps) and with no momentum (because of the evolutionary pressure).

Some of the examples use subsampling, some don't, depending on if I felt it needed it visually. From memory, I think I disabled subsampling for all the illustration images. Except in WebP where you can't disable it. For WebP I used its "sharp YUV" mode instead.
It's a wake up call for democrats. Stop blaming fake news and alike.

Internet became conservative minefield swamp and you haven't done anything about it besides blaming.

Build the venues to reach people. Invest in media that speak your language.

Counter all fake news with strong and convincing media you control.

Do it before their "peaceful protestors" will burn the rest of our cities.

That or just “FS check”.
I’ve said it before: I find this highly disturbing. Especially the sense in which it is coordinated. Amazon, Google and Apple acting together to shut down a platform that has been very clear about its stance on content moderation from the outset.

Free speech is not just any value. Sooner or later you will find yourself on the side of an issue where your speech will be attacked.

Then there is the always present double standard. Why did Twitter allow “Hang Mike Pence” to trend last night? Where are the suspensions and permanent bans?

Again, sooner or later we will all find ourselves on the other side of the double standard.
