I absolutely agree with that.

They do deserve to fail, but I don't want them to. I want them to throw resource at developing cutting edge CPU tech.
>I don't see how you could argue that a TOS is not legal when both parties signed and agreed to it.

Because it clashes often with existing law, many TOS's you can simply ignore (at least in europe) and yes even when you signed it. A TOS does not stand above existing law.

That's not an accurate analogy. These platforms were happy to cater to Trump over the course of his presidency because he enriched them, this is not some moral stance they're taking now, it's the output of a cost-benefit analysis.

Social media is now the public square, and these tech giants have incredible power to promote or suppress opinions. This isn't analogous to a bar admitting or rejecting clients, that's similar to likening the national debt to household debt; it masks a much more complex and consequential discussion.
I don't know if average temperatures in December in Miami are particularly representative of anything, but I went to the trouble of plotting a graph of average December temperatures from the Miami link you gave, from 1990 to 2020, and I would say there does appear to be a slight upwards trend over time: https://img.incoherency.co.uk/3145

Picking 2 dates at random is not a good way to expose long-term trends, as evidenced by your observation that there can be several degrees of variation from one year to the next.
nah.

There is empirical evidence otherwise, e.g. toxicity on Facebook. On the contrary, it gets far more personal if people know each other too and petty infighting dominates.

Recruiters looking up your name on the internet is awful. It got better, but a few years ago they haunted you to your last refuges.

Some people have their real names attached to their profiles, but I assume most prefer it the other way around.
In a way it's similar, because people with different viewpoints have to live together, and therefore any economic supply chain has to go through ideological boundaries multiple times.

If people go full on economic sanctions war, trying to not sell or to not buy from people with wrong ideologies, everyone can become worse off.

So not allowing economic warfare is a useful guideline for societies who want to resolve their fights in a civilized manner.

Maybe it should be something like: if you are required to do additional custom work specifically for each customer, then you can choose which work to do. But if you are providing the same service to everyone, and you have to do additional work to filter out some types of customers, then you are doing something harmful to society.
I hope no one has left their child in the car while they read the article as it is so long the child may die of old age.

In all seriousness though, new vehicles are required to have a method of alerting "Baby Brained" parents of this dangerous situation. While that may help the more affluent new parents, there should be a low cost Bluetooth to Smartphone temperature / environmental / location sensor system for the masses. This might he a nice niche project for someone looking to solve an important problem that will save lives.
Arguably you could make the same argument to Netflix Product Managers with regards to an advanced search feature with some added basic filters. :-)
Thanks. While I had an uneasy feeling at the time, it was people on the internet who put words on what I did wrong, and I am grateful to them. These people are sadly getting banned and downvoted by the majority on pretty much every platform. In those moments I remember Socrates, who was sentenced to death for his heresy - but now lives forever as the greatest philosopher of all times.
It's not just big tech. It's pretty much every company that has any sort of business ties with the movement. It's really a bad example to point out because this isn't a few monopolistic companies cutting off his voice. It's practically every company in existence.
> Apple can't possibly get rid of kernel extensions

they are though. It's getting harder and harder to get them loaded (on an M1 Mac, getting an extension loaded will require 4 reboots and a journey through the recovery environment).

I'd say that within the next 2-3 macOS releases, kernel extension won't be loaded at all any more and only user-space APIs will be available for third-parties (including drivers).

From a security perspective, this is a huge benefit to users of course, but I agree that at least for advanced users, the ability to patch the kernel at random would still be beneficial for some use-cases.
I’m asking where the line is so I can make that trade off. At present, it looks like the community has decided that I need to be silenced.
The US was and probably still is doing the same thing as China with its domestic surveillance programs. They just have a better marketing / PR department about it. But don’t be mistaken, if you speak against this in the US, you’ll commit suicide, or spend the rest of your life in prison or in exile as a traitor.
For people on the other side of management debt (individual contributors), try your best to figure out what pieces they would be happy if you maintained a reasonable level of output on.

Your key goal in life at that stage is cash-flow, keep the checks coming. But in terms of how you fit or how they see you, that ship has mostly sailed and you will need to leverage the market to find the better role. This is not a apocalyptic scenario, and can be managed maturely over months or years.

Everything is a long game.

It is sad to say, especially since BBC is mostly an accurate source of information, but this time title is a fake news. As well as the title here. Because the account was not suspended. Uploading videos and comments is suspended, to be precise and actually the article contains information about it.

> I believe in the 1950s the terminology got corrupted

Well, yes, in the McCarthyite era rightwingers learned that you could discredit any idea by calling it "communism" regardless of content or origin, and the discussion went downhill from there.

The cold war produced a strange politics where Western governments often had to offer real economic concessions to their workers out of fear that actual communism might become popular, while at the same time being very wary of the unions as power centers, culminating in the Thatcher/Reagan era of explicitly dismantling unionised industries in order to disrupt that power. They had a certain amount of support from the non-unionized public who were fed up with the level of strike action and disruption as a result.

That was also the era of significantly higher interest and inflation rates, which is a whole other sector of politics.
Consoles are a platform play to get attached to people's TVs. But Samsung is often there already with the TV itself.
Looking at a small number of weather stations is "evidence by anecdote" and completely unsound.

You introduce bias by your selection of measurements. Plus a large portion of the earth is scantly inhabited with no weather stations in place. Like the poles or international waters.

Instead you should look at satellite measurements of the temperature across the entire planet. These are widely available. The scientific discourse and the available evidence is much more advanced than "hey it became colder in those 20 places".

It's a scary power for sure, given how centralized around a few services to have a voice that the Internet has become. Of course, there are more resilient solutions like Mastodon or even Darknet but they are geek solutions that the public are not aware of or care for. The discoverability of those from the websites Google Search, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok is basically zero.

I think one problem for those services is that if they'd allow this until explicit government action, they'd risk being completely overrun by very vocal antidemocratic crowds of people. Twitter recently banned 70,000 QAnon accounts besides Trump and then they couldn't do that either. Hell, Twitter already struggles and the atmosphere over there right now, despite all this, is really not all that great. Going by Twitter, you'd sometimes think that extremist groups had like 30% of the public vote...
Trump is still the president of the US. I'm pretty sure plenty of companies will shut him down on January 20.
Coming from Angular, I would love to switch to Svelte.

The problem is, I need a comprehensive toolkit like PrimeNG or KendoUI. Didn't really find anything compelling for Svelte yet.
That's crazy and stupid, no argument about that. But even if they refuse to change that culture (which they should) they could still 'fix' that problem by throwing more money at it, everybody has their price.
Let's not pretend this just some guy's hobby project. They've received millions of dollars in funding, more than many small businesses make a year.
How do you guard against cryptolockers?
A powerful processor that is more OPEN than Apple's ARM processors and can natively run Windows and Linux or any other OS you want. (In all the partially well deserved hype about Apple's ARM processors, many forget that it is highly customised and not open like Intel's or AMD's processors).
> I'm the child of indian immigrants. My parents adored trump in 2016, I was meh because all my friends told me he was a white supremacist. I thought my parents had gone mad. But then I saw that nothing my friends claimed actually came true and in fact trump governed like any other republican but way better because he didn't exclude people due to culture war issues and he didn't warmonger and brought peace.

Exactly right. Thanks for keeping an open mind and not getting caught up in this frenzy of opposing Trump just for the heck of it. I can understand how hard it is to be in America right now and be a Trump supporter.

> But what really redpilled me was the impeachment farce where he literally was impeached for investigating his predecessor for crimes we now know occurred. That sends a very chilling message.

Spot on.
That's a pretty dangerous attitude in my opinion and if you spin it further, it can quickly lead to a divided society: A bar decides that it doesn't serve Biden supporters. Would you say: No problem, go to another? What if this other bar decides it doesn't serve men in general? Such rules, perceived as unfair, would quickly lead to resentment and hatred among the affected groups and a feeling of not being part of society.

If people are excluded from services, there should be rational reasons for it and these reasons should be social consensus.
Another alternative reading is The Gulag Archipelago, which precisely and painfully lays out the consequences of what happens when a small group of people decide which ideas are okay to discuss or believe.

I don’t support trump in any shape or form, but if this mass de-platforming doesn’t make you the slightest bit uncomfortable, that in itself should make you a bit uncomfortable.
It looks like none could, because AWS requires some very AWS-specific code ?

But then they decided to be hosted by AWS willingly, and it's not like they haven't been warned about issues with it. "They made their bed…"

This also reminds me of the situation with youtube-dl's very valuable information stored in GitHub's issues.
This reasoning strikes me as very similar to what is called out as perceiving oneself to be a "temporarily embarrassed billionaire" in the context of poor people voting against taxes and redistribution. I for my part do not feel the sort of empathy for Google that this argument seems to be predicated on me feeling, and I can't imagine this changing even if I were to operate my own bar. My bar would not be a temporarily embarrassed Google, so to speak.

> start your own

...and start your own DDoS protection, DNS hierarchy, payment processor etc. as well? In the context of bars, I have not heard of beer companies, kitchen equipment suppliers, map makers or PoS terminal providers demand that the bar ban a particular customer on threat of refusing to service them, either, so that proposal seems rather more realistic than the one we are actually talking about here.
It should also be noted that double in this context has nothing to do with
floating point numbers, Forth implementations often do not
have the functions (called "words") to manipulate FP numbers. Instead I
believe it refers to the double-number word set, words like "d+", "d-". See
<http://lars.nocrew.org/forth2012/double.html>.

Forth often uses different terminology, or slightly odd terminology, for
more common computer science terms because of how the language evolved
independently from universities and research labs. For example "meta-compiler"
is used when "cross-compiler" would be more appropriate, instead of functions
Forth has "words" which are combined into a "dictionary", because the
term "word" is already used "cell" is used instead of "word" when referring
to a machines word-width.

Edit: Grammar.
The community here eliminates it because they don't want to be Reddit. There's lots of silly humour, in jokes and long threads on Reddit and they can be great fun if you enjoy that. HN steers towards more serious discussions and there's been a general attempt to stamp out clever quips and responses as, as fun as they are, they would change the tone of the site significantly.

Is it just me or does that not sound as if it's a "state sponsored attack"? Or maybe a tactic to distract from one?
Your data seems obviously cherry-picked. Why 2000/2020 in one case and 1995/2020 in the other? In fact, your last link actually goes to 2000, not 2020, which makes it look an awful lot like you looked at that year and didn't quote it because it doesn't fit your narrative.

For the Miami case, it is probably worth noting that Miami is cooler during El Nino events and warmer during La Nina. Of course, 2000 was in the middle of the latter and 2020 the former. In fact, if you look at more than 2 datapoints the trend over the past twenty years is the opposite of what you're saying.
Censorship in Social Media
I just read that Curt Schilling got his AIG insurance removed because of his "Social Media Profile".
I doubt the people making that argument and those that spam toxic messages are necessarily the same.

It is a coping mechanism because it makes no sense to be angry at a user that doesn't even care that much in the first place.

From that perspective it makes no sense to be angry at messages.

Doesn't always work, obviously, but it is the best way to deal with it.
How do you deal with failures? What happens if the redid availability zone disappears for example? An I manually responsible for recovery and backups in this cases, or do you use redis as a cache that can be recovered from s3?
I think it would be highly unlikely the UK would regress on open banking. It's been a cornerstone of a lot of govt policy for banking.
They should create state owned platforms for the public as a competition to the private ones. But instead they will just produce so many regulations that only the biggest companies can follow all these messy rules. This will in effect prevent any competition for the biggest companies by smaller companies making the situation worse for everyone.
So you are fine with a restaurant or a convenience store refusing to do business with people of color or LGBT supporters? What if it was the only viable place in town? What about cable companies refusing to provide internet connection to them?

While I do not support Trump, I think such segregation (based on race, gender, political views, etc.) is a very dangerous phenomena in the mid/long-term.
You can be "cross-platform" in many ways. In practice if you don't run MacOS yourself, there's just no reasonable way to support MacOS at all. It literally costs hundreds of dollars to get a compatible test environment, while most other systems (including Windows) you can download and run a in VM for free.

In practice if the MacOS support takes more than a quick headers / types update, it will likely need more care in the future as well. That means you need not just a driveby fix, but a continued commitment from someone to ensure compatibility. This is not out of hostility towards the users, but I'll keep calling things that don't work on MacOS cross-platform. (Yes, it sucks; You can vote with your money to stop that situation)
I agree. A few times an image didn't load, and it was replaced by a small square. The problem is that it was an object and I had to jump over that object, but the small square was too small and I couldn't jump. It solved after reloading, but I had to restart from the beginning.

(Fun small game. It's worth reloading a few times to try it.)

What cell phone do you use? Most of them do that, but they aren’t confined to your home which makes them arguably worse.

He implied that we all heard of it, but it’s besides the point I was trying to make — rather than starting an OSS project in the hopes some FAANG company may sponsor it, it may very well be a project started by such a company instead. Ie its not likely something you can “grow” a project into.
Not allowing homosexual people the right to marry is very much not "live and let live". There is a whole lot of married heterosexual people who do not and will not have kids, for all kinds of reason. If the US would like to encourage/support people getting kids they could legislate support for that.

What remains is not allowing homosexual couples the same treatment as heterosexual couples, because heterosexual couples are "special" for religious and traditionalist reasons. This is very strong identity politics, but from conservative side and very much contrary to the spirit of "live and let live". It strikes me how many conservatives do not realize that they very much support identity politics and then go raging against it the next moment.

Treating people equally should be the default and is the result of not caring about identity in the first place. There are some good arguments that can be made for identity politics after that, but the case against equal treatment should have to be a really strong one. Traditions and religious feelings do not suffice for that in my opinions.

Even when the absolute numbers of homosexual marriages is very small that doesn't justify not caring about unequal treatment. Imagine if we would tax all identical twins 5% more than everybody else. This nonsensical unequal treatment would clearly be unacceptable injustice while the percentage of people that are affected is still very small.

On top of that there are social explanations why homosexual people would be less likely to marry. Marriage has long been a religious and traditionalist institution and has been used to discriminate against them. It can be hard to identify with such an institution and I know queer people who would not like get married because of that. If marriage had been available to everybody since as long as they can remember considering marriage would perhaps come more natural.
Maybe you're in a bubble but regardless I don't think it should be a black and white rule.

Whether I discuss politics or similar contentious issues (religion, ethics etc) all depend on the individual relationships. I don't blanket refuse to discuss these things with colleagues, but I do self censor depending on individual relationships. Obviously in work I prioritise my ability to work with the individual and due to that often self censor more, but it's not a blanket rule.
I mostly agree for AWS, but are you seriously claiming that Apple/Google smartphone duopoly isn't an issue ?

If even Epic Games / Fortnite had to cave in…
That's why the US government also sets limits on what private companies and their customers can do to restrict each other's freedoms. Under these democratically deliberated laws, Parler has as much freedom to use Twitter & Facebook as you have freedom to do use my lawn. The principle still holds even if every neighbor in your neighborhood hates you and denies you access to their lawn; The scope & scale of their lawn restriction is irrelevant because American society finds their freedom over their property to be more important than your freedom to use it.

There are things that the US government deems too important to restrict, but Facebook & Twitter is well outside that category. That's where American society has drawn the line, and it's a line that I agree with as well.
Amazon destroyed competitor when it closed Parler after Parler repeatedly broke terms they signed is incredibly dishonest framing.
Covid: Large trial of new treatment begins in UK

Not justified at all. Nothing can justify censoring a sitting President and destroying a small competitor. America is on the wrong path. This I say as a observer of American politics. Big Tech has too much power in its hands now.
Sigh. Carmack is repeating the “Facebook cares about privacy” nonsense.

Facebook is fundamentally anti-privacy, and following google’s example has spent years now trying to frame privacy as “we won’t give other people the information we have harvested” rather than “we don’t harvest information about you”
