Also, something like DNSCrypt can work for clients regardless of DNS root servers.

I get what you mean though, and in that regard you're right.
The difference is in the reaction. Bernie Sanders and other members of the progressive caucus immediately condemned the lone wolf attack in very clear terms. The reaction of the president to the Wednesday attack was far different and will likely encourage future acts of violence.

Twitter didn't ban Bernie Sanders because he 1) never encouraged the attack and 2) responded appropriately. Twitter banned Trump because he played a part in encouraging the attack and then didn't genuinely condemn the attacks. That's why these two scenarios are very different.
The slippery slope argument is generally regarded as a logical fallacy because the argument can be applied to anything. You should at least offer an explanation of why believe the slippery slope is a risk in this case. What interest would the U.S. have in requiring Flu or HIV tests for travel? The reasons for requiring a covid test are obvious unless you're a person that believes covid is equivalent to the flu.

I know nothing about this tech but could you copy a whole drive bit by bit onto another drive and keep the original while “using up” attempts on a donor drive?
Yes, they will have to go through health and safety trials for each additional vaccine developed using this technology. No one gets special treatment when it comes to
FDA approval, and this is the way it should be.

You can get fast tracked if you show superior effectiveness, meet an unmet medical need, or get rid of serious side effects of an existing therapy. We should look at ways to speed up this process, (in the grand scheme of things 9 months isn't that long to wait to cure a disease) not eliminate it altogether. If we approved something that actually does harm, it will further undermine efforts to widely vaccinate the public. We already have issues with people trusting vaccines when there is no evidence of negative effects, I can't imagine how hard it would be if we had another thalidomide on our hands.
That’s hate speech, and it’s illegal to threaten a person with death. It’s different from banning conspiracy theory
Yeah, but one could argue that is their fault that they leaned into AWS vendor lock-in. They should've architected cloud-agnostically

Telegram advantages over Signal:

- The ability to message someone with just your username / without revealing your phone number

- Easy to use from multiple devices (with full history the minute you install it on a new device)

- Great bot api

- Channels (like an rss feed, people may join to get info, but only the admins can post)

- Much larger groups

- Much larger per-file size limit when sending files

- Message scheduling

- Multiple accounts in the official client

- Polls / quizes

- Hashtags / stickers / animated stickers / etc

- Uses an encryption protocol (now in it's 2nd revision as of 3 years ago) that's been independently audited. (For comparison: Signal's encryption protocol was sponsored / paid for by the US Govt and is used by Facebook's WhatsApp. Telegram has been banned in multiple countries for refusing to turn over data to the govt as well)

Signal advantages over Telegram:

- E2E chats are the only type of chats offered.

TLDR - If you use mostly 1:1 chats and E2E is important to you, use Signal. If you use mostly group chats or want ease of use to get your friends / family on board, use Telegram. Both are open source and have had independent security audits, which is better than WhatsApp!
This proves the point. It is legal, but no one even offered such a package.
Could you point them out? We tend to downvote and flag that sort of thing, although dang usually gets to them first.
There are labs that guarantee < 72-hour turnaround times for travel. It costs extra but hey, that's life. This pandemic has been around for a year now so if it was that important to travel, it's worth paying extra for the test.

dev tools: I don't think they're particularly better per se. They're pretty much identical. But overall, the design of Opera is a bit more useful to me. The sidebar alone just makes it more usable.

PIP: I looked it up. There's a pop-out video option for Chrome available with plugin. The UX for it is better in Opera.
Yeah, but they offer what provides most utility for their intended target audience first and foremost, and SFP+ would be inconvenient there (especially as copper pluggables ain't free).
What was the actual purpose of ENIAC?

>Although ENIAC was designed and primarily used to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory (which later became a part of the Army Research Laboratory),[6][7] its first program was a study of the feasibility of the thermonuclear weapon.[8][9]

What was the first attempt at a large scale computer network?

>In 1959, Anatolii Ivanovich Kitov proposed to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union a detailed plan for the re-organisation of the control of the Soviet armed forces and of the Soviet economy on the basis of a network of computing centres, the OGAS.[6]

States have always had a strong strategic interest in ensuring they have access and control of critical technology of the time for purposes of power projection.

It's less about "the economy" than ensuring influence over strategically critical tech.

I cannot say for sure. My personal income is the same I would get in Toronto, but it's anecdotal. I know they are slightly lower on average, but when you factor in the cost of living (rent is 2x higher in TO) it is probably very similar. On the other side, I would say the quality of life is much better in MTL, as the public transportation is better, people do not live as far and are closer to the various activities, etc.

You clearly don't have showdead marked. There are persistent (and, I should say, entirely incoherent) complaints about speech suppression in the gray comments at the bottom of many threads (often still riddled with the slurs that actually got the user banned).
I'm inclined to agree. This is nothing against the OP but I never reach for boilerplate generators, even ones like `create-react-app`.

Here's a great example of why: I do a bunch of research before I started my project (https://listifi.app - for anyone curious) and decided to go with prisma.js. It looked like it was exactly what I wanted for a REST API built with koa.

I've dumped probably a month fulltime on the project and now that I have enough experience using prisma, I realized it really doesn't do what I want it to do and is actually making my life more difficult as a result.

So now I'm in the process of switching from prisma to knex. Having the glue hidden from me would really affect my willingness to switch technologies and increase my frustrations with any platform.

For any reasonably complex application, you will eventually need to eject.

I want to see how everything is pieced together. Even these js builders like parcel that "do everything for you" eventually don't work.

I'll take a couple of days to set things up the way I want them to over something that tries to do it all for me while only accommodating the happy path.

Again I want to say that this is my personal preference when building any project. I pick a few barebones libraries to help me build what I want and get out of my way.

That should be obvious when you look at my tech stack: https://listifi.app/u/erock/listifi-tech-stack
In case you missed it, the FBI has just announced in a nationally televised briefing that they have formed a "sedition and conspiracy" task force, expected to last years.

Edit: Also I wish that site tested latency for phone calls, since that is often a different protocol.

Right. It's frustrating that the term conspiracy theory has become a blunt weapon that can be used to quickly dismiss allegations of wrong doing and paint the accuser as a fringe lunatic. Sometimes people do evil things or conspire with others to do evil things (see Tuskegee experiments, Epstein, etc.). Just because someone doesn't currently have irrefutable proof that something happened doesn't mean that they shouldn't be able to talk about it.

Congratulations on the launch. The cost estimation feature is awesome - very useful for people like me who are not very good at cleaning up resources. Also like the cross-region view without having to switch console regions.

This looks promising - good luck!
I disagree that this was an oversight of the of the US Constitution. Newspapers and books were both things when the US Constitution was written and, in all the years since, we haven't seen any amendments that would force a newspaper to print articles or letters that might cost them customers. Publishers are not forced to publish books that they feel might tarnish or otherwise harm their brands.

Indeed, it's my position that such laws would in fact be infringing on the free speech of those private companies. In addition they might cost those companies money, making these hypothetical laws also anti-free market.

Then it was a matter of rapid COVID tests not being available. It probably should been a few months ago.

No, you are not comparing to anything, which is totally fine :-)

I'm comparing it to mail.

And if you want a more secure alternative, please go with Signal.

WhatsApp leaks metadata east and west, and if you or any of the people you talk to enable backups all your chats end up in the cloud with a different company.

So much for bulletproof encryption in that case.
300C is pretty damn high... that's like 500F. I generally cook on my grill to get to really high heat, and that is definitely at the high end of what I'd even do with the heat.

At that's the low-point for the effect. I'm not sure that commercial products necessarily all experience that reaction at that temperature.

That's above the smoke point of any oil I could imagine cooking with. While I'm sure you can't discount it entirely, I would not consider it something you would need to worry about unless you were throwing caution to the wind with your cooking process, or perhaps left your stove unattended.
Sure, but I'm referring to a developer community who specifically aims to create "software that does one thing and one thing only." Having a political agenda is doing another thing.

> Seibert said the U.S. ought to follow Germany’s example in how it handles online incitement. Rather than leaving it up to tech companies to make their own rules, German law compels these companies to remove possibly illegal material within 24 hours of being notified or face up to $60.8 million in fines.

You mean verified to be correct as confirmed by her spokesperson who released the initial statement. (Seibert released the initial statement, as can be seen here[1])

So yes, the statement can be seen as saying two things

1. Twitter is too powerful and needs to be regulated

2. The US needs stronger regulations on hate speech.

> This is the usual hypocrisy of european politicians.

If a chimp somehow learned that 2 + 2 = 4, would you point out that given he is a chimp and "chimps don't not math", that the statement about the subject is wrong, even that is clear it has a merit in itself and who says what basically don't matter when we think about something being right or wrong?

This is not as simple as 2+2 of course, but i rather prefer that the merit of what being discussed is taken the proper focus while who says what, only have more prominence when
hidden intentions that can actually cause harm cant be neglected.

And i think this is clearly not the case unless your name is Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey or anyone who will profit from this digital neo-feudalism power grab.

People seen to forget easily how and why sovereign states with the rule of the law were built, and how, if we forget the lessons of the past, it will be very hard to get out of a state where we all have no recourse against our new lords once we go through this path of powerless, anemic sovereign states.
Only downside is that they don't offer the choice of non-personalised ads and no-tracking/no-profiling. It's getting profiled or not getting on the site.
Yes, that's about when it became politically feasible to close the borders in New Zealand, as well.
ISPs, plausibly. But that's because physical infrastructure is such an important component. It's the same reason you generally only have a single choice for an ISP. THAT's the problem there, and that's why there's a good argument for ISPs to be utilities, and why net neutrality is so important.

I get why they’re doing this, but I fear as a society we’ve learned the wrong lessons about testing.

These tests have a pretty high failure rate. That’s probably ok for social level spread tracking (with wide error bars) or low volume contact tracing (where quarantining a few extra people is worth it). It’s far better than nothing of course, but it’s also far short of what we expect from something like a pregnancy test.

But as a means to sign people off as safe to travel? Yeah, not so much. So many people have had the “one negative test so I can go party” only to discover what a false negative is.

It was. A sensible policy would have restricted all entries — at the time Trump restricted entry from China, there was no credible reason to believe that it hadn’t spread elsewhere.
I don't understand why we don't implement the isolation procedures of countries that have gotten this under control, following these procedures for both foreign citizens AND US citizens:

- When you arrive in the US, you either spend two weeks at a government approved hotel, at your expense, which is monitored by federal agents to make sure you don't leave your room. You pay for room service for two weeks to get food. This is what Singapore does.

- If you don't want to stay at the government hotel, you agree to let the government track your cell phone for two weeks to make sure you stay in your home, and randomly call you twice a day to make sure you didn't ditch your phone. This is what Taiwan does.

As a plus, all the hotels near airports would be so thankful for all the forced business to make up for the loss of travel business.

They should have been doing this for the last nine months.

Edit: And obviously combine these rules with a relief bill that helps the industries that are hurt by these rules, or you know, everyone.

Most of the modern, big conspiracies have been thoroughly debunked, but that doesn't stop their spread. Any flat-earther has heard all of the flat-earth debunking. Sadly, I know a handful of flat-earthers, and I tried arguing for a while, but it does no good. Instead it appears that the theorists double-down on the conspiracy.

I think people believe in conspiracies, not because they're mislead on a certain topic, but because they want to believe. So debunking conspiracies is attacking their faith, which is what causes zealotry.

It's more like spreading a religion, which, yeah, you can't really ban it. You just have to let people do their thing.

tl;dr I agree that one shouldn't censor it, but only because it does no good.

As I recall, many comments there were very dismissive. I wonder if that senrinent will change.
As a compromise, even "minority elderly first, then non-minority elderly, then the general minority population, then the general non-minority population" would be better than choosing to focus on essential workers just because they're disproportionately minority (which is valuing abstract signalling for support for racial justice over, you know, actual black lives).
No. It sometimes gets very cold in the mountains.

>The belief that free speech must have limits is necessarily equivalent with the belief that a large part of the people are stupid and they must be protected by the smart people by preventing them to hear anything that might influence their feeble minds and make them act in a wrong way.

You're leaving out some very well-established restrictions on free speech, including slander, libel, copyright infringement, obscenity, privacy violation... in short, absolutism hasn't been a prevailing philosophy for centuries. This sudden resurgence of it feels like a refusal to engage with the very real, very difficult debate on what speech deserves censorship.

It doesn't have anything at all to do with intelligence, but the observed consequences of certain kinds of speech. Lies, for example, that manipulate peoples' emotions. This is not unique to "stupid people."
