This is probably one of the oldest complete manuscripts that I've (partly) read in addition to the Tsun Szu's The Art of War and the Bible.

It is interesting to note that monasticism is neither prescribed nor enjoined in the Bible, in both the Old and the New Testaments [1]. It is, however, mentioned in the Quran that monasticism is rather an invention by the People of the Books namely Christians and Jews [2]. According to the Quran, it's invented for the monks to seek God's good pleasure, but apparently most of the monks do not observe it as it ought to have been observed. Perhaps this book and manual from St. Benedict provided us with the most authentic and comprehensive descriptions of the rules of the monks' observations during the classical antiquity. By reading the rules I can appreciate why the monks have failed observe them ;-). Adding to the fact that it predates the Quran, these type of observations that were probably being referred to by the Quran.

Fun fact, there is an Ashtiname (Book of Peace), a letter sent by Muhammad to the Saint Catherine's Monastery [3]. The purpose is to guarantee the safety of its monks living there against any potential aggression by the Muslim individuals or army. Given the monastery is still exist and standing today despite of being there for more than a thousand years under Islamic government rule is probably the testament of the effectiveness of the covenant provided by the Ashtiname.

Wasn't the question of just how distinct "northern ireland" may or may not be from "ireland" a large component of "the troubles"?
For example HP Elitebooks ond Dell business class laptops have most parts replaceable and the keyboard is secured by screws.

HP Pavilion gaming, ASUS ROG Strix and newer Macbooks have keyboards secured by melting topcase plastic pins or bolts so you can't easily replace keyboard, you need to replace the whole topcase.

And the keyboard is something which degrades by use and can easily be damaged by liquid...
He was, actually. He got into fights with pretty much everybody -- and not just people in power.

The story is about a billion times more complicated than "the church burned him to hide the truth about science". He was, indeed, a heretic, as the Church defined it, and "science" had little to nothing to do with it.

That does not, of course, justify any of what happened to Bruno. But the oft-repeated story of "Giordano Bruno died so that I could have an all-purpose martyr for anything I want to disagree with" is false. It's worth reading a biography, or at least the Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno
Many more eloquent words have been written on this topic if you want more depth, but here's are some quick highlights:

- Voting is a right, driving/flying/etc are not. Getting a driver's license is more about certifying your ability to drive than your identity.

- Signature requirements are tricky because they are very subjective. You're counting on the unbiased assessment of thousands of volunteers to determine if signatures match. That doesn't make it racist, but it's easy to imagine a poll worker intentionally or unintentionally disenfranchising valid voters. So the key question is, does it actually reduce voter fraud by more than the false negative rate?

Everywhere I've lived, the voter rolls and the voting process are designed in such a way that adding a free voter ID to the process would change very little. It's already very difficult to orchestrate fraud without detection.

The ACLU put out a fact sheet with some more details on voter ID: https://www.aclu.org/other/oppose-voter-id-legislation-fact-...
There is https://text.npr.org/
I think it didn't help that they used both meanings of the word "frustrated" in the same sentence. By adding "perhaps my frustration is unwarranted", it puts emphasis on the fact they are frustrated, not that they failed to become an academic. It leads the reader to believe they are in fact still an active academic.

I was only dimly aware of the second meaning of the word so I'm not sure how you would interpret it if you had a good understanding of the multiple interpretations.

I can't help thinking this is some post-ban PR campaign by Facebook, Twitter, Amazon etc to justify what they did and gain them some public sympathy.
Exactly. The game supposedly looks beautiful, but I haven't seen that due to textures not loading well, general low resolution, and choppy FPS. And then I decide to switch to Red Dead Redemption 2, or a FromSoft game, or Battlefront 2 and see games that maintain decent FPS and graphical fidelity at a good resolution.

All of these games are cross-platform. It's possible. I just think the management of CDPR let everyone's pet feature into the timeline and marketing material without regard for the impact of delivery time.
Your first answer is ethically debatable in a way that entirely depends on what is perceived to be "right". I'm not sure it's as clear cut as anyone would want it to be, but your approach is consistent with a specific kind of definition from what you're saying in your third answer.

Your second answer is just a question of comfort. Similar to questions around ecology, making a choice one considers "right" might mean that you value that choice enough that the loss of benefits isn't a net loss to you. Much like with climate change, doing good things is hardly valued at all in terms of ethics in the current way tech does anything though.

And I agree with you that all companies should be scrutinized heavily, and it's possible that Facebook just has become the symbol of that behaviour in all of tech.

However (1) other people doing worse things is not really an excuse that's valid in itself ("I murdered somebody but there are serial killers out there!"), (2) facebook does a whole lot of dirty work especially in poorer countries like in Myanmar where it became ubiquitous by being pre-installed on smartphones and has become THE central information (and misinformation) hub of its own volition, and (3) you're pointing out AR and the most significant actor of that field currently is Facebook itself.

Yes, it's a pain. And I have to install a thing, rather than just open a WebApp because I have to write some long messages. I've been using Signal for 4 hours though so we'll see how it goes.
I think it's important to understand that google wont even let you use any HEVC decoder thats already installed in your OS to decode video in their walled-garden browser. They just deliberately block this technology.
Hi, there, Signal Android developer here. This is correct. Our process is that we work in a pre-release branch, and then merge that to master when we make a release. So GitHub doesn't usually recognize it as a merge, but we always keep the original authorship and whatnot.
Elsevier and Wiley have a lot of lawyers who are likely arguing that leaving it up is condoning copyright infringement. There’s a long history of threats for anything related to targets of these lawsuits, and other companies taking something offline quickly to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Whether this is good or bad depends on the executive. If they are smart, focused on the right goals, and clear communicators, then it benefits the company and staff overall even as it displaces and pisses off some people.

But if they are just turf building or resume-padding, then it is essentially exploitative behavior and hurts the company. It’s extremely difficult to tell the difference at first, just based on staff moves.

BTW this is true of startups too. They fail all the time even if the founders act like strong startup leaders in superficial ways. Theranos is probably the biggest example recently.

I'm sorry, I really don't see how that map is particularly contradictory to my point. Swap "rural" for "exurban" or merely "less urban," if you wish, and take a look at the map you linked. Most of the time, The red dots surround the clusters of blue dots, and never vice versa. The clusters of blue dots are large cities, or "highly urban" areas, and the clusters of red dots surrounding them are outlying "less urban" areas.
I just randomly picked a contribution from an external party. The commit that made it into mainline has an author set to the person that contributed the code originally and a committer set to one of the 'signal.org' members. I'm confused why people would have a problem with how they chose to manage their code if the original attribution is not lost in the process. I'm fairly certain the Linux codebase is managed similarly.

Edit: adding links I forgot

Thanks for the heads up.

I just read both (Moxie and Matrix.org) and I will stay with Matrix response.

I understand Moxie points and the main one is about speed, as I understood. But, as Matthew Hodgson pointed out: the governance of decentralisation is hard, but not impossible.

So, in the end, Signal moves are driven by the market. And, IMO, sometimes it can be dangerous.

I think the point is that certificates are built on top of DNS, not the other way around. Domain resolution does not require certificate authorities.

You have to have a really weird business model or otherwise borderline content to risk getting kicked off from AWS. Sure, a risk for businesses to track, but surely a very low risk (with admittedly high impact).
I take security seriously. I have separate networks for my smart devices that have no access to my secure home network. I stay current on all risks, and I'm a regular attendee of security conferences.

But I have Amazon smart speakers in every room (on their own network that can see the network my smart lights are on.) They're great. I don't worry about Amazon listening in.

Emacs is already mentioned, but not Emacs Org-mode, so here comes the obligatory Emacs Org-mode comment:

I've been doing my personal accounting in Emacs org-mode tables / spreadsheets for 3 years now. I do not need super fancy things in my accounting, but so far it worked great and I am quite sure one can build more complex accountings than mine, as one has the full power of elisp and calc at ones fingertips, when using Emacs org-mode.
Followed by this: 'Handshake is “is effectively a decentralized domain name server,” Roquerre said.' -- thus implying that DNS is NOT decentralized? The article is pretty bad. For his sake, I hope they are taking his quotes out of context. Because I had a quick look at https://www.namebase.io/ -- and it does look interesting. It appears that they have decentralized the REGISTRY by putting it on the "Handshake" blockchain.

Can I configure my resolver to use this "Handshake" blockchain?
Soldering SSDs on the motherboard is a crime! Data storage modules should always be replaceable: 1. because they can fail easily (limited write counts), 2. because people need to wipe data before selling

I have seen a "for parts" Macbook on eBay with bad motherboard where the seller drilled through SSD and T2 chips to "wipe data". While drilling they damaged the topcase as well.

The status is definitely something people using WhatsApp are missing on Signal. This is a very easy, low engagement, no pressure way to publish news to friends and family.

> The speed of this seems highly top-down

That could be taken two ways.

1. This happened quickly and so it seems like the government was involved.

2. It took forever for tech companies to finally act and that slow moving incompetence is a sign of government involvement.

I'm guessing you see it as #1 but a lot of us think this is a long time coming.

I don't think these companies and the people working there want the next generation talking about them the same way we talk about IBM's shameful work with the Nazi's 80 years ago. (Did I just Godwin myself?)

I thought that too until one day I noticed that Disney has the National Geographic content as well. I've been watching a good amount of that recently.

I wouldn't pay for Disney+ on its own, but getting it as part of a bundle with Hulu (ad free) was ok. ESPN+ is worthless.
I know this feeling, seeing people pay for your free software!
It's very rewarding, and also a sign that some people got huge value from your hard work.
Even if it's symbolic, or just enough to cover the server costs, it's what motivates me to continue.
Still, I wish more companies would donate to support the massive amount of open-source software and libraries we all use every day. I understand that making a company pay for something free is a challenge. But come on, they can pay vast amount of money for getting support for open-source softwares, support they will probably never use... :)

It's easy to find the AOC list tweet our riot tweet if you google it; I'm currently taking a break from twitter.

AOC was the first that came to mind. Regarding her list, I believe at the time twitter users were citing a law saying what she was recommending was getting close to being illegal. They called it citizen intimidation, yet with more formal wording.

AOC wasn't the best example. The best examples were people saying it was good Rand Paul had been injured by his neighbor and the professor saying Mike Adams suicide was good.

I hadn't seen the AOC tweet you linked. It does appear uniting at first, yet when I looked closer I saw a familiar persuasion trick. It seems like she's applying the argument that anyone who has certain beliefs is a white supremist.

One of the most divisive things these days is labeling all people with conservative beliefs racist. It seems racist has become a catch-all term for anything postmodernists disagree with.

Calling someone racist means you don't listen to them and you can cause them to lose their reputation even if the claims don't have merit. The parody account Titania McGrath helps outline how the definition of racism has changed.
Sorry, I'm not trying to assume anything about you. I was responding to the "each side wants to act like it's not happening despite clear evidence to the contrary." as a way of using challenges to your point to confirm your point. I didn't word that well originally.

Exactly. It doesn’t require strictly from a protocol sense, but from a security perspective you do want to validate certificates ON TOP as you said.

> But if Section 230 didn't exist, it wouldn't stop bans one single bit and in fact would only encourage vastly more stringent moderation and banning (assuming any unvetted user created content continued to be allowed at all on the general web).

That's one way to look at it. On the other hand :

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200531/23325444617/hello...

> smart lawyers will say that the best way to avoid that kind of liability is not to moderate at all. So Section 230 explicitly overruled that judicial decision, and eliminated liability for moderation choices.

(which would also be bad of course)

So I wouldn't be surprised if in the next years we would see changes :

There could be an intermediary status between hoster and editor : a "displayer" would not be liable for what its users do. It would (unlike a hoster) be liable for the moderating choices that he decides to do.

There might be additional requirements to benefit from the hosting status : of size, power, economic model, &c.
