I listen to him occasionally. He is a natural contrarian and has said things at various time that would likely be against social media policies. For example he had segments on his “Liberty Report” that encouraged mask skepticism and other such misguided things about dealing with Covid that he should know better about, being a former medical doctor.

I very much doubt he’s said anything in support of the recent insurrections though, he’s incredibly anti-war and generally promoting peace. IMO he has deteriorated mentally in recent years and has become significantly more kooky, which is a shame because IMO there are some things he’s been very right about and he’s almost the only one advocating for certain things.
Read another book, for god's sake.

Try Homage to Catalonia. You'll find the author likes shooting fascists, not platforming them.
Well I'm talking about the 12th, China was rounding up and arresting doctors talking about it and making them sign apology statements. You might be thinking of a week or two later.
A startup exit doesn't simply erase all its impact. Plaid made many banking services a lot easier & popular, and it demonstrated how valuable that can be. All that doesn't just disappear. An acquisition/merger can also strengthen a startup's founding ambitions with more resources at its disposal.

Yes, when you're Jewish and there's an armed mob of white supremacists on the street, the last thing we want to do is insult them by improper classification.
Ironically, it's in countries where there is partial vaccination that we haven't the greatest risk - partial pressure against the virus will select it for stronger ability to be vaccine resistant. It's why it's so important to give everyone two doses of vaccine as quickly as possible and vaccinate the entire population, so you don't have the virus spreading, mutating, and potentially evolving to become vaccine resistant and then endemic in the population. We only get one really good chance to hit herd immunity.

But - longer term - agree with you - wouldn't it be awesome if we had full-viral scans of travelers, international or otherwise - would shut down flu pandemics as well (most of them are imported from other countries).
Great to see a Notes solution that is:

-Multi Platform

-iCloud storage based

-Subscription OR “buy forever”

Now, I can’t tell from first glance if:

1) attachments are possible? (Like apple notes)

2) passcode protection for notes is possible? (Like apple notes)

3) notebooks (groups) are possible? (Like one note)

If you're in CA, use the CCPA. They claim to have removed my information in response to a CCPA request.
That's too general of a statement. Everything is governed so there is a mix of free market and regulation. Having everything state-owned isn't a solution either and I know you're not suggesting that.
It makes it easy to crawl. If you're trying to get all of the user profiles for a given website and all of the URLs look like foo.com/user/123 it's easy to download all of them, whereas foo.com/user/1234-abcdef1234-1234 is much harder to guess.
What is wrong with this site?! They aren't talking about popularity. They are talking about violence. They aren't saying that Facebook people are ashamed and trying to hide their affiliation. They are saying they think they'll get hurt because of where they work.

What can't we take this seriously? There was a right wing terror attack just days ago, rhetoric all over the internet is filled with imagery of violence and revolt and retribution. And all anyone wants to talk about is the spin directed in the other direction about who is culpable, and whether or not content moderation and censorship are the same thing, and whether or not it actually constituted a coup.

But, people got hurt and killed on Wednesday, and the same communities continue to threaten the same kind of thing. Is it so hard to believe that people at Facebook or Twitter or wherever, who are geeks just like us, are genuinely afraid right now?

I'll take my downvotes now, thanks.

The green ones are abugidas, which like Japanese Kana usually represent consonant-vowel pairs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abugida, instead of single sounds.

Unlike in Japanese Kana, which originated from Chinese characters, in an abugida consonant symbols are modified by vowel diacritics.

I think they have a pretty strong anti-censorship stance, and due to the way the data is en/decrypted on the client side, they have no visibility what the data consists of.

On top of that, the data here (which is posted with the mega.co.nz decryption keys standard as part of the URL) has an additional layer of encryption by the uploader, so for all anyone can prove it's pictures of cats, and not anything illegal.

Yes. As I said, I do that myself with a pfSense firewall/router into Unifi switches and APs with multiple VLANs and routing between them. I've also done it with an Edgerouter + Unifi switches and APs, and a Mikrotik router too. Of course the Unifi controller doesn't control a non-Unifi router, but you can set up whatever VLAN arrangement you want in the Unifi controller and then set up your router to match and do whatever inter-VLAN routing you want separately in its own interface.

It is not all nicely integrated together if you use a separate router (obviously), but it's not like it makes it impossible. It's not even difficult... at least not any more than it would be in any other setup.

An unrestricted democracy can be exactly that. But hopefully, a country has sufficient guardrails in its constitution to prevent it from becoming a mob rule.
ok so under your view, tech companies can enforce the law unevenly which is their right.

Cool, can we agree thats incredibly dumb?
And that sums up the whole point. Even if we succumb to the idea of Parler being protected by the 1st Amendment, some one must still be will to provide the infrastructure.

These companies have simply exercised their own rights. There could be an argument about monopolies, or their rights to censorship, but to say this is about 1st Amendment rights is rather distracting.
Intel / AMD have a 4-wide decoder, of which can be a 6-wide decoder if executing out of the uOp cache.

Apple just went with an 8-wide decoder, surprising a bunch of people. There's not much difference between 4-wide and 8-wide, aside from Apple deciding that such a wide single-core unit was worthwhile.
>Where does it end from there? Do hotels and restaurants in California demand to see proof that you are a registered Democrat before you are allowed to patronize them? Do liberal employers start carrying out mass firings of conservative employees?

Except those are false equivalences. It's not "conservatives" that are the problem. And they aren't.

They have just as much right as anyone else to their point of view, political preferences and to advocate for them as anyone else.

However, those who would use violence, intimidation and lies to advance their political goals are not conservatives. Or liberals.

They are, at best criminal thugs and, at worst, radical insurrectionists bent on destroying our constitutional republic and the rule of law.

And calling such folks out for their behavior isn't a slap at "conservatives," because those who are honest when they call themselves that (at least in the US) want to preserve our constitutional system of government and the rule of law.

Don't conflate the two. Because they aren't even remotely similar.

The vast majority of instructions by a computer are executed in loops, if you perform the translation once it's an O(1) overhead in the ideal case.

Intel and AMD both perform decodes in parallel, but not as wide as M1, but having such a large and complex decoder costs silicon and power. Taking RISC-V as an example, a fixed width frontend is a project for a student, a modern x86 decoder is probably millions to write and verify.

I bet both Intel and AMD aren't exactly in love with x86 at the moment

I think it's the other way around - computer scientists can get away without understanding the underlying hardware, and do their research based on a basic/abstract machine. Because they are doing research on computer science - how different algorithms can be improved or new data structures (or ML techniques etc).

Software engineers are more likely to need to know the underlying machine and write code suitable for such - because they need to write working/production ready code. It's like applied science, vs pure research science.
If EU countries don't like it, they may also ban US tech companies as they're sovereign countries that don't need to bow to foreign corporations.
Given that the Queen had zero say (not even any publicly-expressed opinion, let alone any consultation from the rest of the government, let alone any actual involvement) in Brexit, which will have repercussions on the state she "rules" for centuries, it seems fair to say that Commonwealth-style constitutional monarchies are just as democratic as they would be without a democracy.

And by all accounts Empress Masako is deeply unhappy in her position and would be better off as a commoner.

Google, Salesforce or Microsoft should not be able to wake up one day and say, you know what, I don’t like those people in Czechia, let’s cut their GSuite/O365 Access with no time to migrate.

These companies have too much heft and influence. And democratic governments have not caught up to that.

Authoritarians know the deal and that’s why they control them. They know how they can sway elections, not through ‘bots but via their algorithms and suppression or promotion of narratives as they see fit.
Yeah, which is why it would be possible with regulations. If it wasn't enough to cover costs then it wouldn't be possible with regulations either.

There are many different rapid tests. Some are reliable and some are unreliable.

For the ones that are reliable (like Abbott's test), they are highly accurate at determining whether someone is currently infectious. So you could have been infected but not capable of transmitting to others yet. These tests would be highly useful for onsite testing, such as if airlines required a rapid test right at the airport.
> Alex Jones and brietbart are sensationalists, not extremists.

Can you expand on this? I understand Breitbart more since people like Milo were more clearly trolls. But Alex Jones frequently talks about conspiracy theories and is promoting the current insurrection (see below). But if many extremists frequent your sites then maybe the line is pretty blurry and you should expect others to confuse them. And to quote from an article that is on Info Wars' front page (in its entirety)[0]

> They continue twisting the occupation of our nation’s Capitol by frustrated citizens and using it to destroy anyone that stands in their way.

> As DC Mayor Bouser lords over her potential future state with a 15 day emergency order following the Capitol Building siege, the National Guard, including 1,000 soldiers from New York, are stationed in the nation’s Capitol to protect the illegitimate inauguration of the Manchurian Candidate Joe Biden while the old establishment propaganda ratchets into full protection mode and the defenders of the New World Order crawl out of their holes to justify the plague that is exterminating liberty.

How do you differentiate this from extremism? Reading words like "occupation", "illegitimate inauguration", "New World Order", and "exterminating liberty" seem to me like extremist views. I'm not sure how you differentiate the two, but saying that a deep state rigged the election and calling those who attacked the capital "frustrated citizens" is in my view an extremist stance. These words encourage those actions. Extremists always use inflammatory language, so where is the line drawn? When does sensationalism because extremism? When you have followers that act on your words? I feel like we're there.

No, you have to convince more people in dense cities to get the same voting power, because of the electoral college.

At the extreme, you have to convince 3.6 people in california to have the same electoral vote impact as convincing just one voter in Wyoming, and that’s before taking into account that being a winner take all system in most states, you have to influence up to half of California in the worst case, before getting any return on investment.

https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/how-much-voting-p...

You would have to make the argument that people in cities are cheaper per capita to convince, because of their density; cheap enough to offset these massive differences in electoral power. I don’t buy it, as dense cities have the most expensive media markets and modern internet advertising can easily target rural areas.

And in a further nitpick, as the Etruscan language didn't have any voiced stops, they dropped beta and delta, and changed gamma to the letter C, which replaced the Greek kappa.
My understanding is they added this for legal reasons. Users were not aware Instagram and WhatsApp were owned by Facebook and legislators had issue with that.
Snow is awesome!

Except when it all melts in spring all at once and the river(s) flood their surroundings. The ones that stupid (or corrupt or both) city planners and developers have been building on for years now. Flood plains? What's that? Oh you mean all that nice river front property that would sell for really great prices?

The bridge I used to take to work (before covid) is also affected by this. Both in the sense that the only other bridge to take from here was getting closed due to the rivers water level, meaning traffic doubled overnight and in the sense that we were mere inches away from that bridge also having to close.
You can create a role with certain permissions in your account. You can then configure this role to only be assumed by another user in another specific AWS account.

This is how you can share resources between different AWS accounts.
They provided ~90 example out of millions of posts and comments. I signed up to see what all the fuss was about and didn’t see any examples of violence whatsoever, other than some nutty conspiracy stuff and some vaguely violent language that wouldn’t be out of place on Vox or Mother Jones.

If a platform has ANY illegal content what standard is then acceptable? If you moderate 99.999% of your content is it reasonable for you to be blacklisted for the 0.001%? If someone found 90 examples of calls to violence on Twitter would that make it OK to deplatform them too?
It was sarcasm of course
Interoperability can make a market more consolidated than it otherwise might be. Look at how GitHub dominates the DVCS hosting market.

Ben Thompson's idea that social networks shouldn't be able to buy other social networks would be better IMO for avoiding problems like Facebook having too much power from also owning IG and WhatsApp. Not sure what a good solution would be for other companies such as Amazon having so much power.
> that your idea cannot be censored is not good enough in order to convince people that it's good

Yes but the implication is that if you’re censored and asking the government for redress, your speech is abhorrent. In the context of the comic it’s clearly meant to be interpreted that way.

Your literal description of it is a red herring, a typical clever Monroe construction to avoid criticism, as if anyone claims they’re correct because what they’re saying isn’t illegal. Nobody makes that argument.
Game makers want to make games for the most popular consoles, and gamers want to buy the consoles with the best game selection. So there is a natural convergence on one or two platforms, with Nintendo occupying a special cultural niche. Even with the enormous resources of Samsung it would be difficult to displace Sony or Microsoft.

Agriculture, manufacturing, etc in the US needs to fend for itself on its merits and/or support by a majority, not based on an inflated influence of rural populations. A strong case could be made that could inspire urban people to be in favor of uplifting these segments also. For example, I would gladly pay more for food or goods made in the US if the case was made to me that it was helping more rural population of my country, just like how I gladly accept paying higher taxes that benefit the unemployed and poor.
You don't have to give an artificial amplification of power to make sure good things happen for everyone. Sadly, that is where my argument falls apart, people are selfish.

I worked for the IRS in a country in Europe. When working there in IT, I did a back-of-the-envelope calculation of how many careers we spent, with career being average yearly salary *40yrs.

I also thought about how the money for my project came from coercion - the customer had no option to cancel the service we provided them, or to select a provider who gives them a better deal, or to simply manage their welfare and insurance by themselves (the biggest expenses of welfare state). My coworkers would talk about tax payers in a demeaning tone - as if they rightfully owed us something.

After a few months if thinking I followed the gut feeling and quit. I encourage anyone working for their “public sector” and especially tax departments to think about the morality of your work, and remember that life is like 80 years if you’re lucky, so spend it on productive and useful things - not the kind of parasitic work that happens at IRSs around the world
What if the SCOTUS rules that the Compact isn't legally binding, but the states all act as if it were binding nevertheless?

Certainly it would mean that a state could unilaterally break the Compact with impunity, but that would only make a difference to the election if the size of their defection was bigger than the amount of "excess" electoral votes the popular vote winner had, including from states that weren't part of the Compact.

Also, you might find some electors from states outside the Compact acting "faithlessly" in order to counteract the "faithlessness" of the electors who betrayed it.
This is probably the one time on the history of this whole website that I'll just refer you to what 'tialaramex said.
But senior management is responsible for establishing the resource budget and dictating the requirements. Given infinite resources, conceivably an engineering team could make an infinitely secure product. But nobody has that (except maybe the military). Like all other computer problems, this comes down to the constraints and requirements.
The current AWS Acceptable Use Policy has been in place since September 16th, 2016. It's not like Amazon suddenly changed the rules with little notice.

If you are going to run a site full of user content, you really need to read the rules you are agreeing to regarding what content services you depend on such as web hosting allows, and put in place mechanisms to keep your users from posting that kind of content and to find and remove it when it does get through.

The hypocrisy of the political class is even deeper, at least in Germany. Just recently, laws were passed to make platforms like Facebook filter, censor and rapidly delete content that might be against some law. Not after a court decision or at least an official order, no no, nothing so formal. A user complaint is sufficient to trigger the need to check within a few hours, have the platform decide to delete and report. No due process, nothing.

Penalties for insufficient reaction by the platform are steep and of course set after the fact. Therefore platforms will err on the side of caution and delete far more than they would have to.

And people like Merkel who are responsible for that law have the gall to complain when something their censorship law stipulated is done to a fellow politician...
