He lost his job at Mozilla as a result of it being widespread knowledge.

It's an objective fact that he is known for it.
This could have led to Trump's appointment, depending on how the states were allocated votes (allocated by whom?)

That would have been a very bad situation that I wouldn't want to see how it played out.
It’s good they exist, but accessibility is only one aspect of design. The HIG tell you how far a button should be from the edge of the screen. They tell you what specific colors to use for certain items.

Also I’ll just point out that a standard is only meaningful if it’s widely used. We could debate how widely used WCAG 2 is, but it’s not anywhere near other platform standards.
Because Reddit is not the police?

Maybe the FBI should have as much knowledge about where the treasonous Trump supporters are meeting up as you do.
the wikipedia page mentions that cisco pays to MPEG LA royalties on behalf of any software project that uses their precompiled binaries. How do they keep track of who downloaded their binaries and how much money they owe to MPEG LA?
How many "mostly peaceful" protests end up with five dead?
Two of the three listed people are for crimes unrelated to the protest.

The only one related to the protest has no body cam footage made available. It's currently an allegation and should be treated as such, especially given the protests revolve around police brutality and several events of police fabricating events (Breonna Taylor).

Regardless, you claim the VP encouraged rioters. Did she encourage them to commit violence? Did she or any of her close affiliates say to hang other members of government? Did they say there should be trial by combat?

This is a clear shifting of goalposts and false equivalencies between a (then senator) donating to a charity and a current president and his affiliates fomenting violence.

Did Kamala tell the rioters that they're special and she loves them after they stormed a government building with pipe bombs and zip ties?
How do you define left-wing vs right-wing 'terrorism'? What does it take to breach the threshold of X-wing terrorism in your eyes? Is your definition molded to neatly fit the events earlier this week, or did you have a stable concept of right-wing vs left-wing terrorism before?

Is it supposed to work with any JSON? I tried inputting the following but nothing happens:

{"id":"0001","type":"donut","name":"Cake","ppu":0.55,"batters":{"batter":[{"id":"1001","type":"Regular"},{"id":"1002","type":"Chocolate"},{"id":"1003","type":"Blueberry"},{"id":"1004","type":"Devil's Food"}]}}

Maybe add some error indicator when it fails to parse?

Edit: Ah, it looks like it does not like floats/integers. I had to remove the "ppu":0.55 entry. Also, leading spaces at the start of the JSON also seem to confuse it.

Anyway - good job!
this is incorrect. Majority of African leaders and regimes are not interested in addressing high youth unemployment among educated workers by giving their domestic internet firms the room to take root.
Even local startups have little to no support from their own countries.
This is purely authoritarian. They are more interested in retaining power to continue exploiting their own people.
That's one version. Another version, that I know will go over very well here, is that some have invested a lot of money to bring high quality, accessibly-written off-line content by experts in the field to the Web, only for Wikipedia editors to poorly rewrite it in thousands of articles and rank over the original content in Google. And then Wikipedia started using non-follow links so the original sites got no benefit whatsoever.
> SECTION 1. Title: This measure shall be known and may be cited as the "California Marriage Protection Act."

> SECTION 2. Article I, Section 7.5 is added to the California Constitution, to read: Sec. 7.5. Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.

If you donate a dollar to supporting this you're 𝚙̶𝚛̶𝚘̶𝚋̶𝚊̶𝚋̶𝚕̶𝚢̶ a dick.

Edit: You're definitely a dick if you donate a dollar to this. I tend to not be confident asserting when someone is or isn't a dick and add the word "probably" unnecessarily.

Edit 2: I'm sorry for my earlier comments. To clarify, I also think it's overreacting when people oppose interracial marriage. I'm all for people supporting discrimination. People should be allowed to be shitty shitbags and anyone who thinks it's bad is overreacting.

Parler is not independent though, in the sense that they rely on Amazon servers, and Amazon has a right to decide who they do business with.

Similarly, Google and Apple can choose who they allow to use their marketplaces. On Android I believe Parler wouldn't have too hard a time distributing their app on their own. But granted, on Apple devices, I think installing non App Store software is a non-starter for most people.

This begs a somewhat unrelated question though--why doesn't Parler just live as a web application that doesn't require an app? They would still have to migrate from AWS, but it would still allow people to continue using it despite Google and Apple's decisions, right?
Do I look angry? I am always a perfectly rational internet forum poster.

Other reports from the field indicate he died by “tasing himself in the balls” while “stealing a portrait of Tip O’Neill”, which could probably be verified with a livestream if you want to watch someone die, which I don’t.
The thing of opposing same sex marriage itself isn't noteworthy. The fact it was widely discussed in the context of Brendan Eich particularly was noteworthy. Obama opposing that has nothing to do with what Brendan Eich is "known for" - Obama is known for plenty of things, lots of which are on his wikipedia page.
Don't plead ignorance. Parler is as bad as 8chan with some of the most vile and despicable chatter I've ever seen in my life.

Radicalization is the process feeding someone an explanation for feelings they already have. We have to address the root cause. For a huge segment of people the root cause is the hollowing out of the middle class over the last 50 years. We're completely incapable of solving this problem with the same economic tools we've been using.

Taking away communication kicks the can down the road in the same way.
Usually distros are one or two versions behind what many developers consider to be minimum viable version. For python especially, but also compilers if you want bleeding edge c++20 support.

So then you need to either compile from src, or sideload install it and pray that cmake finds your new version instead of preferring the distro installed version.

> Who decides what "hate speech" is?

From an authoritarian viewpoint, all speech is hate speech.

Left-wingers are fine with "all cops are bastards" and "eat the rich", but $DEITY forbid you suggest that trans women aren't women or that people might decide that gay sex is more fun once they've tried it instead of being born that way.

Conversely, right-wingers have no trouble suggesting that anybody who has a penis is a man regardless of whether trans and intersex people find this hurtful, but $DEITY help you if you dare suggest that capitalism is overrated or that Christianity is a crock, or that maybe that Eisenhower guy was right about the military-industrial-congressional complex.

The Fediverse doesn't fix this. All it does is let instance operators set up their own little fiefdoms and federate with allied fiefdoms (instances with similar opinions on what constitutes "hate speech") and blacklist dissenters or instances run by people they find offensive.

If this doesn't bother you, that's OK, but let's not pretend that many of the people on Fedi aren't people who couldn't hack it on Twitter, but couldn't let go so they decided to make their own Twitter with blackjack and hookers.
They're not open to the public though, they're open to a base of people who play by their terms and conditions.

It helps to know that it was often Trump-appointed judges who dismissed his claims. In case you wanted to continue down this path.

"Whatabouting" or "whataboutism" is just the negative name for pointing out inconsistent application of standards.
> Even VP9 is not used for all video. Only if the video is 4K or 2K7, or has a high number of view.

No, the low view count video example I provided above has VP9 encodes for all resolutions, 144p through to 1080p.

Lots of low view count videos are encoded in VP9. But when VP9 was new it followed the same approach AV1 is following now: high trending view count videos get the priority.
Judgements about Parler aside, I find it very worrying that Amazon has this kind of power. Imagine Parler depends on AWS Lambda or is locked in some other way - it’s a death sentence (even if they don’t, this is extremely damaging).

This kind of decision should not be at the discretion of a tech company, in the “real” world there is a legal system for such matters.
I think a better standard would be ...’does the photocopier have feelings?’ or ‘are the actions of the photocopier a subjective reaction to input or stimulus’?
Making them leave (= leaving them) will be bad because it “will only make them angrier” and it won’t really solve anything.
The interesting thing about Parler is that the US government and its laws are neutral to it, but no US corporations wish to carry the liability of serving them--regardless of the money they offer. Legally, Parler could operate but no laws exist to guarantee it can.

If this scenario played out in another business, like a restaurant, then nobody could really stop them from operating. Even if the food supply companies stopped delivering, there is a decentralized network of small farmers and transportation companies that could pick up the slack. No such counterpart exists with internet companies. You're either part of the grid or you're out. Come to think of it, that could explain a lot.
This is now attempt number 4 in this thread to get me on this point. This is not an "honest question", it's a gotcha attempt.

I am against rioting. Full stop.

People are trying to have civil discussions and you are using inciteful language calling their argument "garbage".
The problem with this is that it doesn't end with parler and similar. It ends with a new bill being passed where the ability to make communication platforms of anything is effectively stripped from any small person from making. It will be delegated solely to big corporations with government approval.
It's amazing to see this downvoted within a minute of you posting it, probably by someone not even aware they are only underlining your point.
ioctl - iOctal
I don't worry about it because it means incredible value and competence from those organizations. If the web was a fractured mess of providers it would be impossible to find the good ones. Now, it is in these large companies' best interest to provide a safe and reliable internet service.
> Wikipedia is incredible.

It's good for surface level stuff. The apolitical superficial knowledge is where wikipedia excels.

> I find it frustrating when friends say it's unreliable/not to be trusted.

In terms of depth and breadth of knowledge of topics, it is sorely lacking. And it is highly untrustworthy when it comes to anything remotely political/historical/economic/etc - which are ultimately all political.

> Of course it's not perfect, but I've learned plenty enough from it to be well worth the trade-off

Definitely. It has it's uses like everything. But it is extremely flawed.
His argument wasn't a legal one, it's a practical one.

The majority of Republicans believe that their votes were stolen at the ballot box. They then got on their soap box to try to peacefully protest this outcome, which is legal, and what politics is about. They were cancelled and shut down at every avenue trying to exercise speech and protest. It doesn't matter that it's the legal right of Twitter to do this, it's that it is an extraordinarily demotivating action.

When people try the ballot box, and then the soap box, they've got one box left. Alienating and dehumanizing people is not an effective recipe for civil peace, even if it's a legal one.
I agree with addressing the root causes, but that's a separate issue that Amazon/Apple/Google aren't responsible for.

It seems like this argument boils down to: if the community violating the TOS is organized enough that shutting it down won't stop them, then an exception should be made to the rules.
> The fact that the patents still stand would indicate that they are more than just maths.

I insist that the fact that the patents still stand is rather an indication of the systemic failure of the court system to enforce the non-patentability of what is ultimately still purely mathematical operations.

Sure, any patent-able invention uses math. That's a distraction. These patents are on the formulae (the data transforms) and their use itself. You're on the right track pointing out that it would be ridiculous to patent the discrete Fourier transform.

These kind of mathematical discoveries should not be encumbered, they should be free for anyone to use and implement.
Super Source (supso.org)

Open source software is used by practically all businesses, yet maintainers are overwhelmed and under-appreciated. Donations barely make any money.

The solution? Don't give it away for free! Fork your own project and release the next version under a paid license with Super Source. (You can still make it free for non-profits and individuals) Larger businesses pay more money.
That sounds incredible. What kind of patterns does it enable? Have you seen it used well?
If you’ve been here 12 hours you probably haven’t gotten the chance to participate much in an actual tech discussion. This weekend has been all political in nature.

During the week when more people are working, more tech focused news/projects tend to be shared and discussed.

Give it another week and then decide if it’s all groupthink.
The context of the grandparent's comment:

> ...After a summer of rioting and endless attacks on federal property let's dispense with the clutching of pearls that this is something new.

You (What I quoted):

> There were no endless attacks on federal property...

You have just lied in that first claim after the fact that the grandparent comment was referencing the summer violence of last year that still continues to this day and that is what I quoted in my comment which is still happening today. Never began to compare anything or started to.

So before you gaslight everyone again, are you now going to stop peddling lies?
The difference is this event was the heart of the government being attacked by another branch of the government. That crosses a line from though-experiment to existential threat.

RavenDB 5.1: Empowering Your Queries by Oren Eini
Internet exchanges don't have acceptable use policies. Check out the Telehouse website and try to find their AUP page. If they did have one, it'd basically just say you can't use the peering point for illegal activity. Companies like Amazon are customers of exchanges and that's how they get to enjoy things like section 230 protections. But it's clearly "common carrier for me, not for thee" if you read their own policies, since the AWS AUP says "you're not allowed to host offensive content". Moral of the story is if you want your online business to be governed by law rather than aups, just buy a PC and drop it by an internet exchange and set up a contract with cogent or someone. Then you can't be destroyed because you displeased a politician on Twitter.
Explaining exactly how something like t*rr*r causes people harm is a form of victim blaming. It isn't the requirement of harmed peoples to explain how they are harmed, it is our responsibility to listen, believe, and change our harmful behavior.

Is it really so hard to just use a different word? Or is your conservative view on language more important than people's wellbeing?

That said, an alternative word suggested by experts is "anti-social political action."
Another explanation is that centrists are simply unfollowing right wing sites. I generally have tried to keep informed across the political spectrum, but I’ve definitely been less inclined to look at right leaning stuff since the Capitol Riot.
For some reason was not banned for that, but for something totally different
Have y’all considered suspensions (temporary bans) for people to cool off for a few months and reconsider? I’d be curious to see how many came back abusing right away.
How do you delineate between Parlor planning this and ISIS using telegram for recruiting and planning? In both cases, the platforms did nothing to prevent, but in the telegram case the consequences were much more severe—evidence of mass casualty events due to telegram planning.

To me, this is why it feels political: these tech companies are responding more strongly to this than well-organized terror organizations that were active for years.
Yes, when that government building is the Capitol. It's more about the people inside the building than the building itself.
I don't see how so. If people were banned from buying crypto by banks it would just instead go through middlemen.
Broke some windows? They beat a police officer to death with a fire extinguisher. They entered congress with zip ties, semi-automatic weapons, and placed pipe bombs at the DNC & RNC.
Like any community, it grows and changes. You should give it a chance. Political discussions are not the norm, and if you’re interested in tech, this place can expose and involve you in really thought provoking discussions on myriad topics.

Post 2001, Wikipedia has quite a list.

I could see arguing some of these are crimes committed by right-wing groups as opposed to terrorist acts, but others clearly are terrorism.
Yet telegram wasn’t, and that’s exactly what they were doing.
That's not what it means though. It just means that you write a statement in such a way that everyone agrees it is true.

"the sky is green" , is obviously not likely to be accepted by many people.

'In his science fiction story foobarbaz written in 2002, John Smith asked: What if people said "The Sky Is Green"?'
In this case, we can agree that the story is written, we can look it up in the library. (I made up the title in this case).

NPOV and consensus intersect here: Consensus is reached when no-one disagrees, and NPOV is defined as a point of view that no one could possibly disagree with.
Software. It’s not Android, just Linux developed with Buildroot. We do have a web interface with a remote control feature that displays the screen and allows us to trigger buttons. I’m thinking we can use that interface to automate some basic tests but it might need to involve some image pattern recognition to test the output of an operation.
Having lived through the collapse of the USSR, the key events could be:

1. New leaders emerge. Industrialists, generals, university professors, even shipyard electricians. They obtain enormous influence through their personal charisma, leadership skills and the political platform they advocate for (think Martin Luther King).

2. Local municipal authorities stop recognizing the central government. They establish democratically-elected councils to temporarily run things in the power vacuum.

3. Security apparatus flips - police and military will stand by, do nothing and just wait to see how the situation develops. Each battalion and police station aims to maintain reasonable peace in their own district (in cooperation with local authorities) and ignores other orders.

4. Having lost all support and control, the central government collapses under its own weight. They may issue orders, but no-one's following them.

5. A grassroots, national assembly type institution with universal popular support emerges to prepare major legislative reforms such as a new constitution to formalize power transfer to new institutions (new government, new parliament). A referendum or general election seals the deal.

In contrast, a bunch of rednecks breaking in for a few hours, taking selfies and stealing minor items is nowhere near this. They have no real leaders, no platform, no support.
What did they mean:

* Skynet uses a point-to-point protocol rather than a DHT, which not only makes it faster, it's also more robust to abuse. DHTs are pretty famously fragile to things like DDoS and active subversion, and Skynet has been designed to be robust and high performance even when malicious actors are trying to interrupt the network.*

How is P2P used rather than DHT
The expiry of the blue Led patents was a major factor. The prior licencing regime was riddled with beurocracy and also market limiting licence limits where markets were chopped up and zoned to increase profits and pay the licence fees.
Amusingly, if section 230 was repealed, Cheeto would be banned instantly. No way Twitter would want to be liable for his incitement.

I’d say people (using the term loosely) in his sphere should think of that, but that would require a level of self awareness that’s clearly lacking.
Again, IANAL. But my understanding is using ideas in a patent for "experimental purposes" is legally protected: https://nysstlc.syr.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/NYSTAR-Th...
