Yea except its the same with servers, and if you host your own ISPs... we really need the cloud in space or somewhere else outside of the influence of countries.
"while leaving much larger platforms with far more extremism and advocacy of violence flowing on a daily basis"

I am not sure this is true? The point could have been made without resort to hyperbole stretching into disingenuousness. What about that other platform should not be the issue - social network apps/sites are all subject to and propagate abuse.
The copyright holder.

Real problem is a lot of this research is funded by taxpayers and should be public domain.
Doesn’t take a genius to recognize that fewer Black engineers at Google means more biased ML models -> more bad/embarrassing publicity for Google -> more unwelcome attention from a Democrat-controlled WH and Congress.

Is this the intent for the company’s long term vision and branding strategies?
> Parler build itself on Amazon which was the big mistake the next company won't follow.

There are servers you can host yourself, and there are networks (payments and communication) from which you can’t be independent, in practice.
The risks of using cloud servers are now well documented, but, out of curiosity, do they extend to colocated servers? Do data centres turn a blind eye to their colocation customers?
I think you’re misunderstanding the problem. We already have vaccines that cause positives on antibody tests. This is quite common. For example, the HepB vaccine causes positives on the HBsAb test, and people who administer the test understand this.

If we had a widely available vaccine and effective vaccine for HIV that affected certain tests, this would easily be justified by the benefit of the vaccine in preventing HIV. And the results of the antibody tests could potentially still be used to assess HIV immunity.

But a COVID vaccine that caused HIV tests to report positive without conferring any immunity would be bad — the test would essentially become useless. Re-engineering the vaccine to avoid this seems like a no-brainer.
"Finally gone"

Why the word "finally" when it's about tons of games, animations and culture being gone?
Side comment: it’s scary how some group came with the idea that we had to capitalize Black as a racial/ethnical epithet and now every major news media does it for fear of not being sensitive enough. Not considering whether there’s any sense behind that practice.
Yes, when human lives are at risk.

Unless you want to give a citation about it's market share.
> This speculation doesn't really add up considering the historic behavior of corporations in context of the feelings of their employees, or threats to their bottom line because of employees.

On the contrary, this reinforces the idea. Big companies fuck their employees from time to time not because they are meanies, but because they think they will make money that way. If you offered all the companies a Faustian agreement of triplicating their earning but they have to support racism (with no other consequences) they will do it in a heartbeat.That's why so irritating the magnificient coup they've made in the last 5-10 years to put themselves at the forefront of "social issues", if they can control the discourse there is less chance that people will question all the bad stuff they do.
Yields and binning are a good thing. They allow price sensitive customers to get more value and price insensitive customers to get more performance.
Good thing I don't think that, then.
Insider threats are an issue for every business. But AWS has robust policies in place to avoid this.

Even routine code pushes and changes to production infrastructure typically need a second-person review, among other things.
Democratic politicians have been hounding Facebook and YouTube since 2016.

Perhaps you mean why did we focus so much of our efforts on a single website? In this very moment, it's because this website was used to coordinate the efforts of a national group of potential terrorists. The pot boiled hard and fast.
Good feedback. It's hard to know where to stop adding to this wall of text, also each tool has its own format. But, point noted, thanks.
The question is, was this an exception, or they changed policy, and will they start to enforce similar rules with regards to those bigger platforms/groups?

You seem to be replying to something I didn't say.

Where did I indicate getting banned from a website was too far?
This is the beginning of the end for America. Regardless of whether we agree or disagree with what someone says, a free society depends on freedom of expression. It's the first right in the Bill of Rights for a good reason. Layers and layers of legal loopholes make politically biased corporate censorship perfectly legal. I weep for those whose livelihood depends on social media and e-commerce, because they now must live in fear of having their lives destroyed for expressing an opinion. Or for no reason at all.
This is all I want, too. But if you go the DIY route, don't you end up chasing the long tail of browser and device compatibility issues and bugs? I typically solve my own issues but this one just seems like a huge and uneven surface area.

I would love to see your 100-200 lines if you are willing to share. Not asking you to ship it and support it and end up the N+1'th unsupported DND library though ;)
Since you ignored my question, I'll ask it again.

You're presuming something that baker does not agree to. The baker views gay marriage as morally wrong or even an absurd notion. Punishing him because he has moral objections that you disagree with by framing it as a matter of "discrimination" (understood as bigoted treatment) is to ignore that his motives and perceptions may involve no bigotry at all in his view.

Soapboxy post scriptum:

This is what I dislike about these "neutrality meta" discourses. "Neutrality" is ultimately just another word for "common ground", but the less common ground you share, the less of this neutrality there is to work from. Now, in this case, your characterization of the baker's actions as "discrimination" is completely opposed to his view of his actions, but you presuppose your characterization as an element of this neutral common ground by which we can judge him. From his point of view, he may see this as an act of virtue. He may even see this as an act of love for the gay customers by communicating to them that their relationship is illicit and self-destructive. Indeed, that would be the traditional view. If someone's an alcoholic, you might kindly inform them for their own good.

So not only do I see little point in pretending to a false neutrality, but you can't both reduce everything to a mere matter of interpretation and opinion, a plurality of incommensurate views, and then turn around and elevate your view as the neutral one. Either there is a truth of the matter about which we may disagree but which can in principle be resolved reasonably or which can be tolerated, or there is no truth of the matter and it's all at bottom merely a matter of power and accident. In which case, it seems a little silly and contradictory to hold the latter and simultaneously express moral indignation at someone who is behaving in accordance with his own views. You only get to do that, maybe, if you believe there is a truth of the matter to which this other person is bound but egregiously violating.

But if you believe you're right, or you love the truth and believe that it can in principle be known, have a humble and sincere desire to know it and a willingness to discuss and consider and respectfully argue, as well as the courage to humbly accept conclusions that would put you at odds with others you would rather not be at odds with, then it should be possible to arrive at some measure of agreement. I think it is much better to start there with the hope that over time we can make progress, not through force but through reason, rather than to give up on the possibility.
I don’t know anything about these benchmarks other than Intel has a proud history of benchmark cherry picking and lies.
I'm stupid , but what exactly do mathematicians do ?

DeCSS, which was an algorithm that could decrypt DVD content, might be more apropros. Sites were being sued for hosting the DeCSS source code, and there was resistance to that like printing the code on t-shirts.
Fastly CDN experiencing global performance impact
Not sure about sci hub, but these open archive like arxiv and bioarxiv are still biased. I know one world renown scientist who cannot submit his article to bioarxiv even though Nature has no problem with his paper (but won't publish it either). The paper points out a certain bacteria did not in fact evolve the ability to consume the synthetic compound nylon, since the relevant genetic material existed before nylon had been invented, which can be easily demonstrated with a BLAST search.
There is also little reason to believe we are anywhere near the top of the finite ladder either.
Ya certain actors on both sides don't want it. But the political parties are playing into that. Which makes sense, but doesn't bode well imo
That's a very libertarian take. "Why should a business have to cater to black people? Or be forced to build a ramp for a handicapped person? The market will take care of it, there are plenty of grocers in town."

DNS and network connectivity are pretty effing vital to using the web. Again, it's a much more fundamental layer than the app store, and while yes there are other registrars, I'm not sure we should condone this.

And practically, how quickly can they move to get their domain moved to another registrar? Get their nameservers moved?
Surely it's going to far to conclude from this that Dunning-Kruger isn't real. Seems to me the strongest conclusion we can draw from this is that there are at least two possible explanations for the result. How do we determine which explanation is correct?
I find the word enthusiast problematic for different reasons. Enthusiast means non-professional tricked into spending way too much money. I intentionally avoid most things labelled enthusiast, it's a money pit because Intel wants your money.

Ahh Forth .. I remember after I finally got a disk drive for my TI-99/4a, I ordered some software and they included TI Forth. This was around 1985 or so. In 1990 I ended up writing a small Forth kernel to run a micro-controller in one of my EE lab classes.

Teacher took away points not using assembly or C and because "you shouldn't be able to add code on the fly".

Still bugs me to this day.
Overcoming Common Designer Biases
This. When I (as an ISP) was looking into the consumer router situation 10 years ago, the protocols required to handle dynamic IPv6 assignment to end users in conjunction with PPPoE simply didn't exist. Specifically, without NAT, the ISP has to somehow delegate an IPv6 subnet to the customer for their local network. The mix of IPV6CP and DHCPv6 simply
weren't able to do that, and if you've ever had to deal with this for more than a handful of customers, you know that getting $joerandomenduser to manually configure an IPv6 subnet just isn't going to work. Sure, if you can control what router every customer uses you can come up with a procedure for that, but going through the wholesale network of an incumbent means you don't have that luxury.
She resigned because Google would not disclose the identity of a researcher who essentially denied her paper. Well she threatened to resign, which in multi-billion-dollar-companies language is basically walking out of the door.
Through my lifetime I've only heard about tax cuts, I find this mysterious as presumably the taxes must have once risen to now be cut. Why have we seemingly lost the ability to say that we need new taxes?

In Boston we constantly complain about the state of our public transit system which has been in debt for decades. Being proximate to a train station has a 20-50% positive benefit to home prices. The transit system can't raise fairs as those punish lower income workers who most need it, and they are even prohibited from raising fairs at more than 2%/yr by state law. Why can't we tax the property owners (I am one) benefiting from proximity to the train stations? Why are we building stations with 100 year growth horizons if it means we only build 1 new station?
It's ironic that the author is using the tragic and abusive results of authoritarianism as a means of advocating FOR the very authoritarianism that Aaron Schwartz opposed.
> In a subsequent paper, Nordhaus claimed that even a 6°C increase would only reduce global income by only 7.9%, compared to what it would be in the complete absence of global warming.

> A critical feature of human physiology is our ability to dissipate internal heat by perspiration. This becomes impossible when the combination of heat and humidity, known as the “wet bulb temperature”, exceeds 35°C. Above this level, we are unable to dissipate the heat generated by our bodies, and the accumulated heat will kill a healthy individual within three hours. Scientists have estimated that a 5.5°C increase would mean that even New York would experience 55 days per year when the combination of temperature and humidity would be deadly (Mora et al., 2017, Figure 4, p. 504).

Honestly, that should be enough to sell the message on its own.
This does seem worse. Google is at the mercy of hiring from the pipeline of universities CS programs and graduate programs.

Vice is hiring journalism, english, art history, classics majors and all random degress where there is absolutely no constraint.

It is much, much easier to find a black entry level employee who has ANY undergrad degree (journalism) than it is to find a black entry level employee from Stanford CS (tech).

Very alarming to see the level of apologism in these threads for the appaling actions of the big tech companies. You celebrate today because what they are doing is aligning with your political views. Just wait, this wont stop there, you're next.
>It really is just that $0.0273 for the switch, which compared to the very steep marketing and branding challenge of convincing privacy-minded folks that Amazon isn't evil, is nothing.

Looking at this thread, there is no amount of money nor action they could take that would convince people here to buy an echo, so honestly why bother?
> Yeah I've never understood the attitude of wanting someone like Intel to fail.

I can give a pretty clear reason: they deserve to.

They committed two cardinal sins and one that pisses me off personally:

1) Using their monopoly position to crush competition, over and over and over. Using shady business practices and their enormous wealth to kludge any person who could even attempt to compete.

Examples include: Cyrix, the 80386 branding (IE, trademarking "Pentium" so that they could force processor companies to be unable to claim "Pentium-compatible" after failing to trademark their CPU model numbers), crippling their compiler on AMD platforms (checking CPU version strings to enable CPU acceleration for things like AVX instead of checking CPUID like it should) and even going so far as to set embargos on their new CPUs until the day of large competitor product announcemnets to drown out the news or make the new products seem potentially uncompetitive and that consumers should wait for intel (more info here; https://www.overclock.net/threads/intel%E2%80%99s-behavior-i... )

Hell, they even changed the way they market TDP to be the "average" not the max load.

2) Resting on their laurals.

CPUs have stagnated in the desktop/laptop market for 10 years, meanwhile phones have caught up and even in some cases exceeded the performance of desktop/laptop CPUs, to the point where people are looking at Apples M1 as a revolution.

3) Aggressively segmenting the market, steering it towards bad ideas.

16 PCI lanes and lack of ECC memory are just a few things that are terrible about intel CPUs in the consumer market.

Those are not enthusiast requirements, those benefit everyone.

I disagree. WebRTC is utter nonsense. You neither want to implement nor use it. You never know if it's working. With Mumble (TCP and UDP, both can be used for voice) and Teamspeak you know that when you connect to a server, your connection is working. With WebRTC you only have a vague idea, since HTTP is working, but that doesn't mean much.

One of the things that goes unasked in these debates is how the hiring of minorities is affected by foreign hires, permanent residents or recent immigrants. I saw a stat that said that Google sought ~10K H1Bs. Given that these people are almost all in technical roles and that they don’t tend to come from the parts of the world where black people are prevalent it kinda acts as a cap on what percentage of technical employees can be black. A significant percentage of those that are American are first generation immigrants or green card holders — probably with similar demographics to the H1B employees. If we assume that this describes 1/2 - 2/3 of employees, and everyone else is completely representative of the American average, you’d be looking at between 4.5 - 6 % of employees as black.
Yes, it is doable, but what if there several memory-layout incompatible classes which implement both methods?

E.g, A implements virtual doSomething() and B and C inherit from A, add some different fields and both implement doSomethingElse() which they should overload for their inheritance from class Z.
It wouldn't be too hard. Again we don't have the House / Senate split that the US does, and our parties (even the conservatives) are not too against new social programs, so the main reason why we haven't piloted a UBI or affordable housing program is because the parties (especially one in particular) only push legislation if there's already a lot of momentum behind it.

By "hamstring" they mean things that the Intel Compiler did get caught doing, like run the code badly if the CPUID did not say "genuine intel."
If my account could downvote I would. I dont want the top comment once again to be some generic free speech fundamentalism. It amounts to putting our head in the sand. We should be able to rank, sort, and discriminate between different competing challenges to the peaceful (as if everyone even agrees that this is good) conduct of civilization.

The issue is the taxes voted on aren’t enough to pay for the item being voted on. The pensions aren’t getting properly funded, and the amortized cost of the road and accompanying infrastructure isn’t being saved for with taxes collected today.

Also, Colorado is expecting one of the biggest economic and population booms in America, so people’s incomes are going up and thinks are looking pretty good. Try the same in states with stagnant economies and job markets, and even schools won’t get the votes for tax increases.

And the nuance of the statement, of course, is people won’t vote for tax increases for things that won’t benefit them. Roads benefit all car owners, so car owners don’t mind voting for roads. But taxes for public transportation won’t be voted in. And people will vote to increase taxes for their own school district. But not to help subsidize other cities’ schools.

But the point I wanted to make was : making web requests is batch-processing. These are short-lived executions of code and it does not matter if the process dies at the end. It can be restarted for every web/batch-request.

Which is something fundamentally different than an application ( video-editor, game etc ).
